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.

Touched files:
- `packages/python-sdk/e2b/sandbox_async/sandbox_api.py`
- `packages/python-sdk/e2b/sandbox_sync/sandbox_api.py`
- `packages/js-sdk/src/sandbox/sandboxApi.ts`

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

6. E2B cookbook
