Charlie Marsh b0d95427c2 Stage Python runtime wheels directly from package directories (#45526)
## Why

The Windows release workflow builds an extra package archive only to extract it again when staging the Python runtime wheel. Reuse the package directory to avoid this round trip.

## What changed

- Allow `stage-runtime` to accept a Codex package directory as well as a `.tar.gz` archive, with the same package layout validation.
- Reject overlapping source and staging directories, symlinks, and non-regular directory entries before staging.
- Stage Windows runtime wheels from the existing package directory and retain the check that voice resources are absent.

## Testing

Add coverage for matching directory and archive output, including file permissions, source preservation, invalid layouts, non-regular entries, overlapping directories, and CLI handling of both source formats.

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.
