Tomas Valenta d21b936bf7 fix(sdks): make lifecycle.on_timeout and auto_pause precedence consistent (#1343)
## Summary

When `lifecycle.on_timeout` is set it wins; otherwise we fall back to
the `auto_pause` argument.

Previously the Python SDKs subscripted `lifecycle["on_timeout"]`, which
raised `KeyError` if a caller passed a `lifecycle` dict missing that key
(TypedDict is not enforced at runtime). The JS SDK silently used the
whole `lifecycle` object even when `onTimeout` was undefined. In both
cases, mixing `lifecycle` and `auto_pause` had inconsistent and
surprising behavior across the public surfaces (`create` vs
`beta_create`).

Now both SDKs use `.get`/optional chaining on `on_timeout` and only
treat `lifecycle` as authoritative when that field is actually present.

- `packages/python-sdk/e2b/sandbox_sync/sandbox_api.py`

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
