Hung 9018f3a3b0 Preserve file-backed audio in tool outputs (#60735)
## Why

Converting message content to tool output previously reduced file-backed audio to a text file ID, losing its audio type.

## What changed

- Allow `input_audio` tool output items to carry either `audio_url` or `file_id`, preserving both forms during content conversion.
- Account for file-backed tool audio in history estimates and output truncation, and prepare only inline audio data.
- Reject uploaded audio in raw function and custom tool output injection, extending the existing requirement to submit uploaded audio through typed turn input.
- Regenerate app-server schemas and TypeScript/Python types while preserving the Python inline audio class name.

## Testing

Add coverage for tool audio wire-format round trips, repeated file audio sharing text and audio output budgets, and rejection of raw uploaded audio injection across messages and tool outputs. Extend Python SDK coverage for the inline tool audio shape.

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.
