Abhinav daa69c411c Allow selecting a configured provider in model/list (#59776)
## Why

Clients need to list models for a configured provider other than the app-server's startup default.

## What changed

Add an optional `modelProvider` parameter to `model/list` and expose it in the generated schemas and client types. Explicit selections use provider definitions loaded at startup and respect current managed provider requirements. Unknown providers return a structured `modelProviderNotConfigured` error.

Use a temporary catalog when selecting another provider, preserving the default catalog and its disk cache while retaining runtime authentication. Requests without a selector keep the existing provider and caching behavior.

## Testing

Add coverage for provider selection, preservation of the default catalog and disk cache, unknown-provider errors, managed requirement enforcement, and runtime authentication for temporary catalogs.

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.
