Greptile Summary

This PR releases SDK version 4.1.0 with generated API and client updates. The main changes are:

• New client support for aiohttp, binary request content, follow-redirect options, custom JSON encoding, timeout headers, and environment-driven custom headers.
• Refactored request construction, retry handling, multipart file extraction, stream cleanup, and pydantic compatibility helpers.
• Regenerated worker, flow, and voice deployment resources and response models.
• Updated Python support, dependency pins, CI workflows, lockfiles, documentation, and release metadata.
• Expanded tests for client behavior, files, extraction, models, JSON, paths, and date parsing.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The release changes appear merge-safe based on the reviewed SDK updates, generated resources, compatibility changes, and expanded tests.

No code issues were identified in the reviewed changes.

T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

• Compared the baseline HTTP redirect behavior to establish the initial state.
• Verified the post-change HTTP behavior now follows redirects and includes the read-timeout header, with the same idempotency key reused on retry.
• Validated the Python SDK transport construction in isolation, confirming no HTTP endpoint is involved in the before state.
• Confirmed after the change that head construction succeeds and aiohttp support is present.
• Captured the data-transformation baseline where _utils._json was unavailable and array_format='indices' raised NotImplementedError.
• Validated after the change that transformed outputs include JSON strings, proper indices in the query, multipart file evidence, and a cleaned output with omitted sentinels removed.
• Documented the baseline Voice deployment types and the absence of a VoiceDeployment export.
• Verified after the change that VoiceDeployment objects are created and imported as expected, matching the contract for workers, flows, and voice deployments.
• Recorded the baseline package metadata as 4.0.0 with Python classifier range and no extras.
• Confirmed after the change that head metadata is 4.1.0 with updated Python classifiers, aiohttp extras, and successful imports.
