Note

Low Risk
Additive SDK types and enum literals from codegen; no runtime client logic changes, though consumers parsing telemetry or can_reauth_reason should handle new values.

Overview
Release 0.97.0 bumps package version metadata and changelog only; functional changes are OpenAPI-driven type updates.

Browser captcha telemetry now models a three-level story: captcha_solve_started (per solver task), existing captcha_solve_result (per task outcome), and new captcha_challenge_result (one terminal outcome per visible challenge). Solve events gain optional challenge_id / task_id correlation, press_and_hold as a captcha_type, and clearer timing docs on duration_ms. The BrowserTelemetryEvent union and public api.md exports include the new types; the default captcha telemetry category is described as covering tasks and challenge outcomes.

Managed auth adds affirmative can_reauth_reason value totp_reauth_allowed and narrows requirements_satisfiable to mean recorded requirements have no recognized blocker (distinct from the new TOTP-only case).
