Eddie Chen a037e65ead Preserve client metadata through queued submissions (#59826)
## Why

Queued inputs previously stored and dispatched without the submitting client's Responses API metadata, losing attribution such as `client_type` when the queued turn started.

## What changed

- Accept `responsesapiClientMetadata` when adding or updating queued submissions and expose it on returned queue items.
- Persist metadata with the input and forward it when starting a selected item or dispatching an idle queue, including after restoration.
- Preserve existing metadata when an update omits it or supplies an empty map; replace it when a non-empty map is supplied.
- Keep stored inputs readable by older queue workers and update generated protocol artifacts.

## Testing

Extend queue service and app-server tests to cover metadata round trips, preservation and replacement on edits, compatibility with older readers, and forwarding during selected, idle, and restored dispatch.

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.
