Note

Low Risk
Small, backward-compatible API surface addition with default video-only behavior unchanged; remainder is version and changelog metadata.

Overview
Release 0.61.0 bumps package version metadata (pyproject.toml, _version.py, release-please manifest) and refreshes the OpenAPI spec pointer in .stats.yml.

The functional change is an optional record_audio flag on browsers.replays.start (sync and async). Callers can opt into capturing audio with the replay; when omitted or false, behavior stays video-only. The flag is added to ReplayStartParams and included in the POST body; tests pass record_audio=True in the “all params” start cases.

🧪 Testing

To try out this version of the SDK:

pip install 'https://pkg.stainless.com/s/kernel-python/7d357c27c32315ba3a7fcaddac0f6563aab91849/kernel-0.60.0-py3-none-any.whl'

Verified the generated diff includes the record_audio option on the replay-start endpoint (from kernel/kernel#2284) and the rest is standard Stainless release plumbing (version bump 0.61.0, changelog, .stats.yml). LGTM ✅

Created a monitoring plan for this PR.

What this PR does: Releases Python SDK v0.61.0, adding a new optional record_audio parameter to the browser replay recording API so users can capture audio alongside video in browser session recordings.

Intended effect:

• recording started log events: baseline 400–5,000/hr (active hours); confirmed if volume holds within this range post-deploy with no new start failures.
• failed to start recording errors: baseline ~0–2/hr (11 total over 48h); confirmed if remains at or below baseline even as record_audio=True usage begins.

Risks:

• API rejects record_audio field — failed to start recording logs, alert if > 5/hr for 2+ consecutive hours (baseline: ≤2/hr).
• Audio capture causes recording crash — recording saved / recording started ratio drops below 0.95 (baseline: ~1.0).
• Serialization regression on existing params — sharp drop in recording started volume below ~300/hr during active hours, alert if sustained for 2+ hours.

Status updates will be posted automatically on this PR as monitoring progresses.
