Shaqayeq ff6764e808 Add Python app-server SDK (#14435)
## TL;DR
Bring the Python app-server SDK from `main-with-prs-13953-and-14232`
onto current `main` as a standalone SDK-only PR.

- adds the new `sdk/python` and `sdk/python-runtime` package trees
- keeps the scope to the SDK payload only, without the unrelated
branch-history or workflow changes from the source branch
- regenerates `sdk/python/src/codex_app_server/generated/v2_all.py`
against current `main` schema so the extracted SDK matches today's
protocol definitions

## Validation
- `PYTHONPATH=sdk/python/src python3 -m pytest sdk/python/tests`

# Getting Started
This is the fastest path from install to a multi-turn thread using the minimal SDK surface.
## 1) Install
From repo root:
```bash
cd sdk/python
python -m pip install -e .
```
Requirements:
- Python `>=3.10`
- installed `codex-cli-bin` runtime package, or an explicit `codex_bin` override
- Local Codex auth/session configured
## 2) Run your first turn
```python
from codex_app_server import Codex, TextInput
with Codex() as codex:
print("Server:", codex.metadata.server_name, codex.metadata.server_version)
thread = codex.thread_start(model="gpt-5")
result = thread.turn(TextInput("Say hello in one sentence.")).run()
print("Thread:", result.thread_id)
print("Turn:", result.turn_id)
print("Status:", result.status)
print("Text:", result.text)
```
What happened:
- `Codex()` started and initialized `codex app-server`.
- `thread_start(...)` created a thread.
- `turn(...).run()` consumed events until `turn/completed` and returned a `TurnResult`.
## 3) Continue the same thread (multi-turn)
```python
from codex_app_server import Codex, TextInput
with Codex() as codex:
thread = codex.thread_start(model="gpt-5")
first = thread.turn(TextInput("Summarize Rust ownership in 2 bullets.")).run()
second = thread.turn(TextInput("Now explain it to a Python developer.")).run()
print("first:", first.text)
print("second:", second.text)
```
## 4) Resume an existing thread
```python
from codex_app_server import Codex, TextInput
THREAD_ID = "thr_123" # replace with a real id
with Codex() as codex:
thread = codex.thread(THREAD_ID)
result = thread.turn(TextInput("Continue where we left off.")).run()
print(result.text)
```
