Celia Chen 3fd148a20c Add a built-in Google Cloud Vertex AI provider (#56265)
## What changed

- Support `model_provider = "gcp"` with a Vertex AI endpoint derived from `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` and `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION`, defaulting to the `global` location.
- Obtain credentials through `gcloud auth application-default print-access-token` by default, and allow `base_url`, `auth`, and `http_headers` overrides under `model_providers.gcp`.
- Use a static model catalog tailored to Vertex AI, preserve function tools, namespaces, and client-side tool search, and support remote compaction V2. Disable unsupported reasoning summaries, Responses Lite, custom tools, web search, and image generation.
- Expose a `gcp` account type through the app-server protocol and generated clients without resolving credentials during account reads or requiring OpenAI authentication.

## Testing

Add coverage for endpoint resolution, configuration overrides, model catalog filtering, authenticated requests, unsupported request fields, missing credentials, account reporting across provider changes, and automatic remote compaction.

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.
