## 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
The Python SDK previously protected the stdio transport with a single
active turn-consumer guard. That avoided competing reads from stdout,
but it also meant one `Codex`/`AsyncCodex` client could not stream
multiple active turns at the same time. Notifications could also arrive
before the caller received a `TurnHandle` and registered for streaming,
so the SDK needed an explicit routing layer instead of letting
individual API calls read directly from the shared transport.
## What Changed
- Added a private `MessageRouter` that owns per-request response queues,
per-turn notification queues, pending turn-notification replay, and
global notification delivery behind a single stdout reader thread.
- Generated typed notification routing metadata so turn IDs come from
known payload shapes instead of router-side attribute guessing, with
explicit fallback handling for unknown notification payloads.
- Updated sync and async turn streaming so `TurnHandle.stream()`/`run()`
and `stream_text()` consume only notifications for their own turn ID,
while `AsyncAppServerClient` no longer serializes all transport calls
behind one async lock.
- Cleared pending turn-notification buffers when unregistered turns
complete so never-consumed turn handles do not leave stale queues
behind.
- Removed the internal stream-until helper now that turn completion
waiting can register directly with routed turn notifications.
- Updated Python SDK docs and focused tests for concurrent transport
calls, interleaved turn routing, buffered early notifications, unknown
notification routing, async delegation, and routed turn completion
behavior.

**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()`.
## 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 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
This is PR 2 of the Python SDK PyPI publishing split. [PR
1](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18862) refreshed the generated
SDK bindings; this PR makes the runtime package itself publishable, and
PR 3 will wire the SDK package/version pinning to this runtime package.
## Summary
- Rename the runtime distribution to `openai-codex-cli-bin` while
keeping the import package as `codex_cli_bin`.
- Make the runtime package wheel-only and build `py3-none-<platform>`
wheels instead of interpreter-specific wheels.
- Add `stage-runtime --codex-version` and `--platform-tag` so release
staging can produce the platform wheel matrix from Codex release tags.
- Add focused artifact workflow tests for version normalization,
platform tag injection, and runtime wheel metadata.
## Why Rename
There is already an unofficial PyPI package,
[`codex-bin`](https://pypi.org/project/codex-bin/), distributing OpenAI
Codex binaries. Publishing the official SDK runtime dependency as
`openai-codex-cli-bin` makes the ownership clear, avoids confusing the
SDK-pinned runtime wheel with that unowned wrapper, and keeps the import
package unchanged as `codex_cli_bin`.
## Tests
- `uv run --extra dev pytest
tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py` -> 21 passed
- `uv run --extra dev python scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py
stage-runtime /tmp/codex-python-pr2-rebased/runtime-stage
/tmp/codex-python-pr2-rebased/codex --codex-version

/tmp/codex-python-pr2-rebased/runtime-stage/dist/openai_codex_cli_bin-0.116.0a1-py3-none-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl`
## Note
- Full `uv run --extra dev pytest` currently fails because regenerating
from schemas already on `main` adds new DeviceKey Python types. I left
that generated catch-up out of this runtime-only PR.
## 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

## 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`

## TL;DR
Bring the Python app-server SDK from `main-with-prs-13953-and-14232`
onto current `main` as a standalone SDK-only PR.
- adds the new `sdk/python` and `sdk/python-runtime` package trees
- keeps the scope to the SDK payload only, without the unrelated
branch-history or workflow changes from the source branch
- regenerates `sdk/python/src/codex_app_server/generated/v2_all.py`
against current `main` schema so the extracted SDK matches today's
protocol definitions
## Validation
- `PYTHONPATH=sdk/python/src python3 -m pytest sdk/python/tests`
