psachdeva-oai 8a4b226ad5 Version answer display instructions and restrict unsupported payloads (#60904)
## What changed

- Replace free-form `AgentMessageDisplay` actions with a version `1` contract using `show`, `hide`, and `block` modes, with typed annotations, replacements, block reasons, and trusted-contact handling.
- Discard invalid or unsupported display instructions and set `moderated` to `true` when reading moderation data in Rust and the Python SDK.
- Update generated JSON schemas, TypeScript types, and Python SDK models to match the contract.

## Testing

Add coverage for display variants, tolerance of extra fields, and unsupported-version or unknown-mode fallback. Update the final-answer moderation test and add Python coverage for thread history and item notifications.

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.
