## Why
`TurnHandle.run()` returned the raw app-server `Turn`, whose live
start/completed payloads do not include loaded `items`, so users saw
empty `items` after starting a turn. That made the handle-based path
behave differently from `Thread.run(...)`, and pushed examples toward
persisted-thread reads plus helper extraction.
This PR makes the run APIs standalone: starting a turn and running it
returns collected turn data directly, or fails visibly when required
stream events are missing.
## What Changed
- Replaces the public `RunResult` export with `TurnResult`.
- Adds turn metadata to `TurnResult`: `id`, `status`, `error`,
`started_at`, `completed_at`, and `duration_ms`, alongside
`final_response`, `items`, and `usage`.
- Changes `TurnHandle.run()` and `AsyncTurnHandle.run()` to consume
stream events with the same collector used by `Thread.run(...)`.
- Exports `TurnError` from `openai_codex.types` for the new result
shape.
- Updates tests, examples, docs, and the walkthrough notebook to use
`result.final_response` and `result.items` directly.
- Removes persisted-thread helper paths and placeholder/skipped control
flows from the public examples and notebook.
## Verification
- `python3 -m py_compile ...` over changed SDK, example, and test Python
files.
- `python3 -c "import json;
json.load(open('sdk/python/notebooks/sdk_walkthrough.ipynb'))"`
- `git diff --check`
- `PYTHONPATH=sdk/python/src python3 -c ...` import/signature smoke for
`TurnResult`, `TurnHandle.run`, and `AsyncTurnHandle.run`.
## Why
The Python SDK can already create threads and run turns, but
authentication still has to be arranged outside the SDK. App-server
already exposes account login, account inspection, logout, and
`account/login/completed` notifications, so SDK users currently have to
work around a missing public client layer for a core setup step.
This change makes authentication a normal SDK workflow while preserving
the backend flow shape: API-key login completes immediately, and
interactive ChatGPT flows return live handles that complete later
through app-server notifications.
## What changed
- Added public sync and async auth methods on `Codex` / `AsyncCodex`:
- `login_api_key(...)`
- `login_chatgpt()`
- `login_chatgpt_device_code()`
- `account(...)`
- `logout()`
- Added public browser-login and device-code handle types with
attempt-local `wait()` and `cancel()` helpers. Cancellation stays on the
handle instead of a root-level SDK method.
- Extended the Python app-server client and notification router so login
completion events are routed by `login_id` without consuming unrelated
global notifications.
- Kept login request/handle logic in a focused internal `_login.py`
module so `api.py` remains the public facade instead of absorbing more
auth plumbing.
- Exported the new handle types plus curated account/login response
types from the SDK surfaces.
- Updated SDK docs, added sync/async login walkthrough examples, and
added a notebook login walkthrough cell.
## Verification
Added SDK coverage for:
- API-key login, account readback, and logout through the app-server
harness in both sync and async clients.
- Browser login cancellation plus `handle.wait()` completion through the
real app-server boundary used by the Python SDK harness.
- Waiter routing that stays scoped across replaced interactive login
attempts, plus async handle cancellation coverage.
- Login notification demuxing, replay of early completion events, and
async client delegation.
- Public export/signature assertions.
- Real integration-suite smoke coverage for the new examples and
notebook login cell.
## Summary
- Remove maintainer and release-process wording from the Python SDK
README and docs.
- Rewrite SDK-facing comments/docstrings so they read as standalone
product documentation.
- Add a real app-server integration smoke that follows the public
quickstart-style `Codex() -> thread_start() -> run()` path.
## Integration coverage
- Add `test_real_quickstart_style_flow_smoke` in the real app-server
integration suite.
## Validation
- Local tests were not run per repo guidance. CI should validate this
branch once the PR is online.
## Why
The Python SDK needs the same tight formatter/lint loop as the rest of
the repo: a safe Ruff autofix pass, Ruff formatting, editor save
behavior, and CI checks that catch drift. Without that loop, SDK changes
can land with formatting or import ordering that differs from what
reviewers and CI expect.
## What
- Add Ruff configuration to `sdk/python/pyproject.toml`, excluding
generated protocol code and notebooks from the normal lint/format pass.
- Update `just fmt` so it still formats Rust and also runs Python SDK
Ruff autofix and formatting.
- Add Python SDK CI steps for `ruff check` and `ruff format --check`
before pytest.
- Recommend the Ruff VS Code extension and enable Python
format/fix/organize-on-save so Cmd+S uses the same tooling.
- Apply the resulting Ruff formatting to SDK Python files, examples, and
the checked-in generated `v2_all.py` output emitted by the pinned
generator.
- Add a guard test for the `just fmt` recipe so it keeps working from
both Rust and Python SDK working directories.

## Why
The SDK should publish under the reserved public distribution name
`openai-codex`, and its import module should match that name in the
Python style. Since package names can contain hyphens but import modules
cannot, the public import path becomes `openai_codex`.
Keeping the rename separate from the public API surface change makes the
naming change easy to review and avoids mixing it with API curation.
## What
- Rename the SDK distribution from `openai-codex-app-server-sdk` to
`openai-codex`.
- Rename the import package from `codex_app_server` to `openai_codex`.
- Keep the runtime wheel as the separate `openai-codex-cli-bin`
dependency.
- Update docs, examples, notebooks, artifact scripts, lockfile metadata,
and tests for the new distribution/module names.

TL;DR: update the quickstart integration assertion to match the current
example output.
- replace the stale `Status:` expectation for
`01_quickstart_constructor` with `Server:`, `Items:`, and `Text:`
- keep the existing guard against `Server: unknown`
## TL;DR
Add `thread.run(...)` / `async thread.run(...)` convenience methods to
the Python SDK for the common case.
- add `RunInput = Input | str` and `RunResult` with `final_response`,
collected `items`, and optional `usage`
- keep `thread.turn(...)` strict and lower-level for streaming,
steering, interrupting, and raw generated `Turn` access
- update Python SDK docs, quickstart examples, and tests for the sync
and async convenience flows
## Validation
- `python3 -m pytest sdk/python/tests/test_public_api_signatures.py
sdk/python/tests/test_public_api_runtime_behavior.py`
- `python3 -m pytest
sdk/python/tests/test_real_app_server_integration.py -k
'thread_run_convenience or async_thread_run_convenience'` (skipped in
this environment)

## TL;DR
WIP esp the examples
Thin the Python SDK public surface so the wrapper layer returns
canonical app-server generated models directly.
- keeps `Codex` / `AsyncCodex` / `Thread` / `Turn` and input helpers,
but removes alias-only type layers and custom result models
- `metadata` now returns `InitializeResponse` and `run()` returns the
generated app-server `Turn`
- updates docs, examples, notebook, and tests to use canonical generated
types and regenerates `v2_all.py` against current schema
- keeps the pinned runtime-package integration flow and real integration
coverage
## Validation
- `PYTHONPATH=sdk/python/src python3 -m pytest sdk/python/tests`
- `GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" RUN_REAL_CODEX_TESTS=1
PYTHONPATH=sdk/python/src python3 -m pytest sdk/python/tests -rs`
