Zahan Malkani 05229d1874 Add snapshot pagination for persisted realtime history (#61480)
## What changed

Add experimental `thread/realtime/list` reads independent of turn pagination or a live runtime. Support session, observation-time, and event-ID filters, with ordering by observation time or committed position.

Keep cursor pagination within a fixed snapshot and expose positions for catching up on events committed later. Return `unsupported`, `pending`, or `ready` coverage so clients can distinguish unavailable history from events awaiting indexing. Limit fork reads to the child's own realtime history.

## Testing

Add SQLite tests for snapshot stability, late-event catch-up, cursor validation, and coverage tracking. Extend app-server tests to cover filtering, exact event lookup, and fork isolation.

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.
