scitex-sdk

One implementation owner for SciTeX app contracts and UI components: scitex_sdk.app and scitex_sdk.ui. The SDK ships the Python code, Django templates/static assets, translations, and packaged @scitex/sdk frontend.

from scitex_sdk.app import get_files
from scitex_sdk.app.embed import ScitexAppConfig, run_standalone
from scitex_sdk import ui, get_frontend_package_dir

Leaf apps own their GUI under src/<leaf_pkg>/_django, use this SDK, and run standalone or as a plugin. Hub mounts apps generically and supplies authorized capabilities. See the app/UI contract and workflow skill.

# Install the GUI runtime for SDK 0.3.0 or newer.
pip install 'scitex-sdk[gui]>=0.3.0'
scitex-sdk app --help
scitex-sdk ui --help
scitex-sdk gui serve

Add the chat, mcp, cli or project extras for those capabilities, or install scitex-sdk[all]. The project and all extras require scitex-dev>=0.62.0. SDK publication verifies a normal built-wheel [all] installation and pip check against published dependencies before uploading. Contributor dependencies use pip install -e . --group dev.

Migration changes imports to scitex_sdk.app/ui and resource prefixes to scitex_sdk/app/ and scitex_sdk/ui/. Existing Django database labels, template block names and App/UI environment settings retain their identity. The predecessor App and UI repositories are public archives. Users coming from either one: start at docs/MIGRATION_FROM_APP_AND_UI.md. Sequential SDK publication can still observe transitive predecessor packages and reports dependency retirement as incomplete. Consumer migration and strict published dependency retirement remain separate gates; see the release sequence.
