Python SDK now handles login natively, ending the workaround era for app authentication.

The Python SDK gained first-class login support [1], moving authentication from an external headache into a normal workflow. API-key flows complete immediately while interactive ChatGPT logins now route through the SDK, finally giving developers a clean setup path. In parallel, the TUI is being hardened against state drift: primary settings writes now route through the app server instead of writing directly to local config [2], the first of four planned migrations that will lock all preference changes into the centralized backend. Remote executor registration also switched to auth-backed credentials [4], replacing the old registry bearer env var with persisted ChatGPT auth, which streamlines credential management without breaking the existing biscuit-only contract. On the model side, the spawn_agent guidance got aggressive trimming [3]: model override summaries are now capped to 5 entries with compact reasoning, cutting unnecessary context bloat. Tests across the suite also cleaned up legacy compatibility shapes [5], replacing direct SandboxPolicy construction with canonical PermissionProfile builders to clarify where old patterns are actually required.
