## Why
The initial public `openai-codex` beta should read and install like a
normal published Python package before a release tag is created. This
follows merged PR #24828, which establishes the independent SDK beta
release plumbing and exact runtime dependency.
## What changed
- Rewrote `sdk/python/README.md` as a compact PyPI-facing beta package
page: published installation, one quickstart, short login examples,
built-in help, and links to deeper guides.
- Updated the getting-started guide, API reference, FAQ, and examples
index to present the published beta consistently without repeating
onboarding in the package landing page or reference page.
- Made `pip install openai-codex` the primary install path while beta
releases are the only published SDK releases, with `--pre` documented
for opting into prereleases after a stable release exists.
- Added curated `help()` / `pydoc` docstrings across the public API and
generated public convenience methods through
`scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py`.
- Declared the repository `Apache-2.0` license expression and
Documentation URL in package metadata, without introducing a duplicated
SDK-local license file.
- Kept the source distribution focused on installable package material
(`src/openai_codex`, `README.md`, and `pyproject.toml`); the repository
docs and runnable examples remain linked from the PyPI README.
- Built release artifacts in an Alpine container on the Ubuntu runner,
matching Python SDK CI and allowing type generation to install the
published `musllinux` runtime wheel.
- Added `twine check --strict` to the release workflow so malformed PyPI
metadata or rendered README content fails before publishing.
- Added focused SDK assertions for beta metadata, the exact runtime pin,
source distribution contents, and the built-in Python documentation
surface.
## Validation
- Ran `uv run --frozen --extra dev ruff check
scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py src/openai_codex
tests/test_public_api_signatures.py
tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py` before the final
README-only reductions and review-fix follow-ups.
- Built `openai_codex-0.1.0b1-py3-none-any.whl` and
`openai_codex-0.1.0b1.tar.gz` before the final README-only reductions
and review-fix follow-ups.
- Ran `python -m twine check --strict` on both built artifacts before
the final README-only reductions and review-fix follow-ups.
- Verified artifact metadata reports `Apache-2.0` without a duplicated
SDK-local license file.
- Verified `inspect.getdoc(...)` resolves documentation for the package,
`Codex`, `CodexConfig`, and key generated thread methods.
- Rebased the documentation/readiness change onto merged PR #24828
without changing the intended SDK or workflow file contents.
- Final verification is delegated to online CI for this PR.
## Why
`AppServerConfig` is exported as part of the ergonomic Python SDK
surface and passed to `Codex(...)` and `AsyncCodex(...)`. That name
exposes the underlying app-server transport at the same layer where
users are configuring the Codex client. `CodexConfig` makes the common
callsite read naturally and names the object it configures.
## What changed
- Renamed the public configuration dataclass from `AppServerConfig` to
`CodexConfig`.
- Updated `Codex`, `AsyncCodex`, and the transport clients to accept
`CodexConfig`.
- Updated binary-resolution messages, package exports, docs, examples,
and related coverage to use the new public name.
## API impact
```python
from openai_codex import Codex, CodexConfig
with Codex(config=CodexConfig(codex_bin="/path/to/codex")) as codex:
...
```
Callers should now import and construct `CodexConfig`; `AppServerConfig`
is no longer part of the Python SDK surface.
## Validation
- `uv run --frozen --extra dev ruff check src/openai_codex scripts
examples tests`
- Tests are deferred to online CI for this PR.
## 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.
