## 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.

## Why
The SDK package root should be the ergonomic public client API, not a
dump of every generated app-server schema type. Generated models still
need a supported import path, but callers should be able to tell which
names are high-level SDK entrypoints and which names are protocol value
models.
## What
- Define a curated root `__all__` for clients, handles, input helpers,
retry helpers, config, and public errors.
- Add a `types` module as the supported home for generated app-server
response, event, enum, and helper models.
- Update docs and examples to import protocol/value models from the type
module.
- Add tests that lock root exports, type-module exports, star-import
behavior, and example import hygiene.

## Why
Once the SDK declares its runtime package, generated Python artifacts
should come from that pinned runtime rather than whatever app-server
schema happens to be in the current checkout. That keeps the generated
API and model surface aligned with the runtime users install.
## What
- Teach `scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py generate-types` to invoke the
pinned runtime package for schema generation.
- Regenerate `v2_all.py`, `notification_registry.py`, and generated
public wrapper methods from that schema.
- Add freshness coverage so regenerating from the pinned runtime must
leave checked-in artifacts unchanged.

## Summary
Adds an app-server `plugin/skill/read` method for remote plugin skill
markdown. The new method calls the plugin-service skill detail endpoint
and returns `skill_md_contents`, so clients can preview skills for
remote plugins before the bundle is installed locally.
## Why
Uninstalled remote plugin skills do not have local `SKILL.md` files.
Without an on-demand remote read, the desktop plugin details UI cannot
render the skill details modal for those skills.
## Validation
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all --
suite::v2::plugin_read::plugin_skill_read_reads_remote_skill_contents_when_remote_plugin_enabled
--exact`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-core-plugins -p
codex-app-server`
**note**: a large chunk of this diff comes from regenerating Python
types after app-server schema changes on `main`.
This is PR 3 of 3 for the Python SDK PyPI publishing split. PR #18862
refreshed the generated SDK surface, and PR #18865 made the runtime
package publishable as `openai-codex-cli-bin`; this final PR makes the
SDK package publishable as `openai-codex-app-server-sdk` and pins both
packages to the same Codex runtime version.
The key idea is that the published SDK version is the Codex runtime
version. That one version now drives the SDK package version, the exact
runtime dependency, the client version reported by the SDK, and the
bootstrap runtime pin. This keeps release-time versioning in one lane
instead of scattering checked-in literals through the package.
## What changed
- Rename the SDK distribution from `codex-app-server-sdk` to
`openai-codex-app-server-sdk` for conflict-free PyPI publishing.
- Use `stage-sdk --codex-version ...` with one Codex version for both
the SDK package version and exact `openai-codex-cli-bin` dependency.
- Preserve hidden legacy `--runtime-version` / `--sdk-version` args only
to reject mismatched versions during staging.
- Map PEP 440 package versions back to Codex release tags for runtime
setup downloads, e.g. `0.116.0a1` -> `rust-v0.116.0-alpha.1`.
- Derive `codex_app_server.__version__`, the default
`AppServerConfig.client_version`, and
`_runtime_setup.pinned_runtime_version()` from the SDK package/project
version instead of hardcoding duplicate version strings.
- Carry the current generated SDK refresh from `main` so
`generate-types` stays clean after recent app-server schema changes.
- Update `sdk/python/uv.lock` for the renamed editable package.
## Validation
- `uv run --extra dev pytest` in `sdk/python` -> 59 passed, 37 skipped.
- Targeted `uv run ruff check` for the touched SDK files.
- `git diff --check`.
- Staged runtime with `--codex-version rust-v0.116.0-alpha.1
--platform-tag macosx_11_0_arm64`.
- Staged SDK with `--codex-version rust-v0.116.0-alpha.1`.
- Built runtime wheel, SDK wheel, and SDK sdist.
- `twine check /tmp/codex-python-pr3-build/dist/*` -> passed.
- Clean venv smoke installed `openai-codex-app-server-sdk==0.116.0a1`
from local dist and pulled `openai-codex-cli-bin==0.116.0a1`.
- Smoke imports passed for `Codex` and `bundled_codex_path()`.
This is the first step in splitting the Python SDK PyPI publish work
into reviewable layers: land the generated SDK refresh by itself before
changing packaging mechanics. The next PRs will make the runtime wheel
publishable, then wire the SDK package/version pinning to that runtime.
## Summary
- Refresh generated Python app-server v2 models and notification
registry from the current schema.
- Update the public API signature expectations for the newly generated
kwargs.
## Stack
- PR 1 of 3 for the Python SDK PyPI publishing split.
- Follow-up PRs will handle runtime wheel publishing mechanics, then
SDK/package version pinning.
## Tests
- `uv run --extra dev pytest` in `sdk/python` -> 51 passed, 37 skipped.
## 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`
