Mish Ushakov da85b1e33c feat(sdk): add includeEntry option to filesystem watch (#1385)
Client-side counterpart to
[e2b-dev/infra#2930](https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/pull/2930): adds
an `includeEntry`/`include_entry` option to filesystem directory
watching across the JS and Python (sync + async) SDKs, so each
`FilesystemEvent` can carry the affected entry's `EntryInfo`
(best-effort — unset for remove/rename-away events where the path no
longer exists). This regenerates the filesystem proto code from the
updated spec, threads the flag through `watchDir`/`watch_dir` (streaming
`WatchDir` and polling `CreateWatcher`), maps the new `entry` field onto
the event, and extracts a shared entry-mapping helper reused by
`list`/`getInfo`/`rename`. The option degrades gracefully: older
sandboxes (< envd 0.6.2) ignore it and leave `entry` unset, so there's
no hard version gate. Includes new watch tests for all three SDKs and a
minor-bump changeset for `e2b` and `@e2b/python-sdk`.

> Note: the entry-info tests require envd 0.6.2 (shipped by the infra
PR), so this should land with/after that deploy.

### Usage

**JavaScript**
```ts
const handle = await sandbox.files.watchDir(
  'my-dir',
  (event) => {
    console.log(event.type, event.name, event.entry?.path, event.entry?.type)
  },
  { includeEntry: true }
)
```

**Python (async)**
```python
def on_event(e):
    print(e.type, e.name, e.entry.path if e.entry else None)

handle = await sandbox.files.watch_dir("my-dir", on_event=on_event, include_entry=True)
```

**Python (sync)**
```python
handle = sandbox.files.watch_dir("my-dir", include_entry=True)
for e in handle.get_new_events():
    print(e.type, e.name, e.entry.path if e.entry else None)
```

What is E2B?

E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you to run AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.

Run your first Sandbox

1. Install SDK

pip install e2b

2. Get your E2B API key

  1. Sign up to E2B here.
  2. Get your API key here.
  3. Set environment variable with your API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

3. Start a sandbox and run commands

from e2b import Sandbox

with Sandbox.create() as sandbox:
    result = sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
    print(result.stdout)  # Hello from E2B!

4. Code execution with Code Interpreter

If you need run_code(), install the Code Interpreter SDK:

pip install e2b-code-interpreter
from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

with Sandbox.create() as sandbox:
    execution = sandbox.run_code("x = 1; x += 1; x")
    print(execution.text)  # outputs 2

5. Check docs

Visit E2B documentation.

6. E2B cookbook

Visit our Cookbook to get inspired by examples with different LLMs and AI frameworks.
