jif 8806313db4 Scope local history discovery to the current ChatGPT account (#58918)
## What changed

- Add `currentAccountOnly` to `thread/list` and `thread/search`, defaulting to `false`, and enable it for TUI history discovery, resume pickers, and task mentions.
- Mark newly created threads as account-scoped and require each recorded creator user or account ID to match the current login. Older threads and threads without creator IDs remain shared; API-key logins continue to see all local history.
- Preserve account scope through resume and revert, including fallback to original rollout metadata when an older binary drops the marker. Forks receive new-thread scope.
- Skip unreadable rollout headers in scoped discovery and filter search candidates before reading snippets. Direct access by thread ID remains available.

## Testing

Add coverage for account matching, shared legacy history, list page refilling, search pagination, API-key visibility, and scope preservation across reverts. Extend rollout lookup coverage to compressed active and archived files.

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.
