Eric Traut fea1d7f7d1 Add support for Academic Researchers plans (#55387)
## What changed

- Recognize `sci` and `sci_plus` in authentication, account responses, rate limits, and generated client schemas.
- Treat both plans as workspace accounts eligible for cloud configuration, and use business analytics routes.
- Display “Academic Researchers” and “Academic Researchers Plus” in the TUI and direct users to their admin when usage limits are reached.

## Testing

Add coverage for plan parsing, workspace classification, account and rate-limit responses, cloud configuration eligibility, analytics routing, TUI labels, and usage-limit guidance. Exercise installed-app refresh and listing with `sci_plus` authentication.

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.
