## 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.

## Summary
This PR hardens package-manager usage across the repo to reduce
dependency supply-chain risk. It also removes the stale `codex-cli`
Docker path, which was already broken on `main`, instead of keeping a
bitrotted container workflow alive.
## What changed
- Updated pnpm package manager pins and workspace install settings.
- Removed stale `codex-cli` Docker assets instead of trying to keep a
broken local container path alive.
- Added uv settings and lockfiles for the Python SDK packages.
- Updated Python SDK setup docs to use `uv sync`.
## Why
This is primarily a security hardening change. It reduces
package-install and supply-chain risk by ensuring dependency installs go
through pinned package managers, committed lockfiles, release-age
settings, and reviewed build-script controls.
For `codex-cli`, the right follow-up was to remove the local Docker path
rather than keep patching it:
- `codex-cli/Dockerfile` installed `codex.tgz` with `npm install -g`,
which bypassed the repo lockfile and age-gated pnpm settings.
- The local `codex-cli/scripts/build_container.sh` helper was already
broken on `main`: it called `pnpm run build`, but
`codex-cli/package.json` does not define a `build` script.
- The container path itself had bitrotted enough that keeping it would
require extra packaging-specific behavior that was not otherwise needed
by the repo.
## Gaps addressed
- Global npm installs bypassed the repo lockfile in Docker and CLI
reinstall paths, including `codex-cli/Dockerfile` and
`codex-cli/bin/codex.js`.
- CI and Docker pnpm installs used `--frozen-lockfile`, but the repo was
missing stricter pnpm workspace settings for dependency build scripts.
- Python SDK projects had `pyproject.toml` metadata but no committed
`uv.lock` coverage or uv age/index settings in `sdk/python` and
`sdk/python-runtime`.
- The secure devcontainer install path used npm/global install behavior
without a local locked package-manager boundary.
- The local `codex-cli` Docker helper was already broken on `main`, so
this PR removes that stale Docker path instead of preserving a broken
surface.
- pnpm was already pinned, but not to the current repo-wide pnpm version
target.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `.devcontainer/codex-install`: `pnpm install --prod --frozen-lockfile`
- `.devcontainer/codex-install`: `./node_modules/.bin/codex --version`
- `sdk/python`: `uv lock --check`, `uv sync --locked --all-extras
--dry-run`, `uv build`
- `sdk/python-runtime`: `uv lock --check`, `uv sync --locked --dry-run`,
`uv build --wheel`
- `pnpm -r --filter ./sdk/typescript run build`
- `pnpm -r --filter ./sdk/typescript run lint`
- `pnpm -r --filter ./sdk/typescript run test`
- `node --check codex-cli/bin/codex.js`
- `docker build -f .devcontainer/Dockerfile.secure -t codex-secure-test
.`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli`
- repo-wide package-manager audit
## 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`
