Extend python/openshell/ with the verbs needed to express the
multi-agent-notepad flow entirely in Python:
- ProviderClient (create/get/list/delete); credentials_from_env
resolves env var names to mirror the CLI's --credential flag.
- policy_from_yaml() loads the CLI's YAML format into a SandboxPolicy
proto. Lazy-imports PyYAML, added to runtime deps.
- SandboxClient.upload() gzip-tars the source and pipes the tarball
over ExecSandbox(stdin=...) to 'tar xzf -'. No paramiko dependency.
- SandboxClient.create() gains friendly kwargs (name, image, providers,
policy, environment, gpu, labels) alongside the existing spec= path.
architecture/python-sdk.md documents the design principle (mirror
CLI verbs, not raw protos), the public surface, and what's out of
scope (image build, gateway bootstrap, draft policy, port-forward,
RelayStream).
examples/multi-agent-notepad/notebook.ipynb is a Python equivalent of
demo.sh: env validation, policy render, provider creation, parallel
worker sandboxes via ThreadPoolExecutor, synthesis sandbox, cleanup.
13 new unit tests; all 23 sandbox tests pass; ruff/ty/markdownlint clean.
Closes#273
Verify inference endpoints synchronously on the server during set/update, expose a --no-verify escape hatch in the CLI and Python helper, and return actionable failures when validation does not pass.
