## Why
The Python and TypeScript SDKs launch the native Codex runtime directly, so they need to understand the same package layout that the release artifacts now use. Without this, SDK runtime wheels would keep carrying only a loose `bin/codex` plus ad hoc helper binaries, the TypeScript SDK would keep resolving the legacy optional-dependency layout, and bundled `codex-path` tools such as `rg` would not be prepended when the SDK starts Codex.
## What Changed
- Stage `openai-codex-cli-bin` from a Codex package directory, including `codex-package.json`, `bin/`, `codex-resources/`, and `codex-path/`.
- Preserve the legacy loose-binary staging path for compatibility, but shape its output like a package directory and put helper resources under `codex-resources/`.
- Expose Python runtime helpers for the bundled package directory and `codex-path`, and prepend that path when `openai_codex` launches the installed runtime.
- Teach the TypeScript SDK to resolve package-layout optional dependencies while keeping the legacy layout fallback.
- Update the Rust release workflows to build Python runtime wheels from the generated Codex package directories instead of loose binaries.
## Test Plan
- `python3 -m py_compile sdk/python/scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py sdk/python/src/openai_codex/client.py sdk/python-runtime/src/codex_cli_bin/__init__.py`
- `uv run --frozen --project sdk/python --extra dev ruff check sdk/python/scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py sdk/python/src/openai_codex/client.py sdk/python/tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py sdk/python-runtime/src/codex_cli_bin/__init__.py`
- `uv run --frozen --project sdk/python --extra dev pytest sdk/python/tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py`
- `pnpm eslint src/exec.ts tests/exec.test.ts`
- `pnpm test --runInBand tests/exec.test.ts`
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
rust-v0.116.0-alpha.1 --platform-tag macosx_11_0_arm64`
- `uv run --with build --extra dev python -m build --wheel
/tmp/codex-python-pr2-rebased/runtime-stage`
- `uv run --with twine --extra dev twine check
/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
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`
