ccui-oai 0811df3976 Treat inference hook denials as terminal errors (#60511)
## Why

An explicit denial from a workspace inference hook should stop the request, including retries and compaction model fallback.

## What changed

Recognize `inference_hook_denied` provider errors and preserve the provider's message, with a fallback when none is supplied. Expose the distinct `inferenceHookDenied` error through the app-server protocol and generated schemas and SDK types. Treat the denial as non-retryable during turns, compaction, and guardian review.

## Testing

Add coverage for terminal denials over HTTP, SSE, and WebSocket, error serialization and persistence in `thread/read`, and compaction failures that preserve token usage and history without retrying or falling back to another model.

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.
