Mish Ushakov eaf452a82b feat: add optional name to createSnapshot and return snapshot names (#1327)
## Summary
- Add optional `name` parameter to `createSnapshot` / `create_snapshot`
in the JS and Python SDKs so callers can name the resulting snapshot
template.
- Return the `names` field from the snapshot API on `SnapshotInfo` (both
in `createSnapshot` responses and in `listSnapshots` paginator results)
so callers can discover the namespaced snapshot names.
- Includes a changeset (`patch` for `e2b` and `@e2b/python-sdk`).

## Test plan
- [ ] `pnpm run format`, `pnpm run lint`, `pnpm run typecheck` all pass
locally
- [ ] Integration tests on a sandbox with valid credentials:
`sandbox.createSnapshot({ name: 'my-snap' })` returns non-empty `names`

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

npm i 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

import Sandbox from 'e2b'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
console.log(result.stdout) // Hello from E2B!

4. Code execution with Code Interpreter

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

npm i @e2b/code-interpreter
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const execution = await sandbox.runCode('x = 1; x += 1; x')
console.log(execution.text)  // outputs 2

5. Check docs

Visit E2B documentation.

6. E2B cookbook
