Charlie Marsh c375deaf66 Use dependency groups for Python SDK tooling (#27538)
## Summary

`just fmt` previously used `uv run --with ruff` to make Ruff available.
Because `--with` creates an ephemeral overlay outside the project
lockfile, uv periodically re-resolved Ruff (by default every 10 minutes)
instead of using the version recorded in `uv.lock`.

Move the Python SDK tooling dependencies from the published `dev` extra
into `format`, `test`, and composed `dev` dependency groups. The
formatter now selects only the locked `format` group, contributor and CI
setup explicitly sync the `dev` group, and CI and release commands reuse
that environment with `--frozen --no-sync`. The scripts formatter also
uses its project's locked Ruff dependency instead of an ephemeral
overlay.

Validated the Python 3.12 SDK suite (119 passed, 38 skipped) and the
repository formatter.

# Python SDK Examples
Each example folder contains runnable versions:
- `sync.py` (public sync surface: `Codex`)
- `async.py` (public async surface: `AsyncCodex`)
All examples intentionally use only public SDK exports from `openai_codex`
and `openai_codex.types`.
Examples use plain strings for text-only turns and typed input objects for
multimodal or structured input lists.
## Prerequisites
- Python `>=3.10`
- Install the SDK for the same Python interpreter you will use to run examples
Install the published beta:
```bash
python -m pip install openai-codex
```
The SDK installs its pinned `openai-codex-cli-bin` runtime dependency.
The pinned runtime version comes from the SDK package dependency.
## Run From A Checkout
Contributors using these checked-in scripts should install development
dependencies from `sdk/python`:
```bash
uv sync --group dev
source .venv/bin/activate
```
The examples bootstrap local SDK imports from `sdk/python/src`. If the pinned
runtime is not already installed, the bootstrap installs the matching runtime
package for the active interpreter and cleans up temporary files afterward.
## Run examples
From `sdk/python`:
```bash
python examples/<example-folder>/sync.py
python examples/<example-folder>/async.py
```
The checked-in examples use the local SDK source tree automatically.
## Recommended first run
```bash
python examples/01_quickstart_constructor/sync.py
python examples/01_quickstart_constructor/async.py
```
