Overview

Key Changes

Version 0.22.0 is a minor release because it adds substantial runtime hardening and tightens an existing provider configuration contract. Applications that combine an explicit openai_client with organization or project must move those values to the AsyncOpenAI client.

Highlights:

Redacts terminal function-tool output rejected by agent output guardrails from replayable and persisted SDK state.
Raises ModelBehaviorError for non-streaming Responses with terminal status failed or incomplete.
Rejects conflicting provider options when OpenAIProvider receives an explicit client.
Isolates usage accounting between independent RunState checkpoints while preserving nested-agent aggregation.
Expands agents registered through handoff(agent) in generated graphs.
Clarifies the existing shallow-copy behavior of Agent.clone() and RealtimeAgent.clone().
