Alex Kira 08ae615122 Enable untrusted context tool outputs by default (#60487)
## What changed

Mark `untrusted_as_tool_output` as stable and enable it by default. Untrusted additional context, such as browser information and goal objectives, now reaches the model as `function_call_output` items in the `agent` namespace instead of user messages. Setting `features.untrusted_as_tool_output = false` preserves the message format.

## Testing

Update core, app-server, TUI, and Python SDK test expectations for the default output format. Cover context persistence, deduplication, goal continuation, and explicit opt-out behavior.

OpenAI Codex Python SDK

Build Python applications that start Codex threads, run turns, stream progress, and control workspace access.

Install

Install the SDK:

pip install openai-codex

Quickstart

The SDK reuses your existing Codex authentication when one is already available:

from openai_codex import Codex

with Codex() as codex:
    thread = codex.thread_start()
    result = thread.run("Explain this repository in three bullets.")
    print(result.final_response)

thread.run(...) returns a TurnResult containing the final response, collected items, and token usage.

Authentication

Existing Codex authentication is reused automatically. To start ChatGPT browser login explicitly:

from openai_codex import Codex

with Codex() as codex:
    login = codex.login_chatgpt()
    print(login.auth_url)
    print(login.wait().success)

For device-code login:

with Codex() as codex:
    login = codex.login_chatgpt_device_code()
    print(login.verification_url, login.user_code)
    login.wait()

For API-key login:

with Codex() as codex:
    codex.login_api_key("sk-...")

Built-In Help

Use Python's standard help(openai_codex), help(Codex), or python -m pydoc openai_codex documentation tools.
