dhruvgupta-oai d257beb16a Add experimental ChatGPT workspace switching to app-server (#57514)
## What changed

- Add `accountSession/list` and `accountSession/switch` for the active managed ChatGPT login, with optional workspace membership refresh.
- Validate membership and workspace policy, pause new turns, and unload running threads before switching credentials. Notify clients with `thread/closed` and `account/updated`; selecting the current workspace leaves threads running.
- Support browser sign-in for SSO through `allowBrowserLogin`, binding the callback to the requesting login and workspace. Require a separate sign-in for government workspaces.
- Preserve the selected workspace across token refresh and conditionally restore the previous workspace if routing validation fails. Guard credential writes against concurrent login or logout changes.

## Testing

Add app-server and auth tests covering workspace switching, credential preservation, policy and identity rejection, conditional rollback, stale sessions, and SSO callback validation.

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.
