Brent Traut 82883da25e Notify subscribers when thread read state changes (#52384)
## What changed

Add the experimental `thread/readState/changed` notification with `threadId` and the committed `readState` receipt. Send it to existing thread subscribers when terminal activity updates read state or a revert clears a removed unread position. Emit terminal read-state updates before `turn/completed` so completion remains the last notification for that result.

Expose the notification in generated JSON schemas, TypeScript types, and Python SDK models. Document experimental capability gating, subscription lifetime, notification opt-out, and refreshing receipts when concurrent responses disagree.

## Testing

Extend the read-state integration test to assert that the notification receipt matches the receipt returned by `thread/read` after terminal activity.

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.
