Adds support for GPT-5 series of models in `arcade docs`.
Improves error handling when the LLM does not generate a valid JSON for
a given tool sample inputs. Instead of raising an exception, the CLI
uses an empty input, moves on to the next tool, and prints a warning
message asking the user the fill in the input sample manually in
Javascript and Python files.
This PR also moves the Enumerations from a separate `reference.mdx` file
to the main toolkit file, as requested by @EricGustin to simplify the
docs structure.
Renames the `arcade generate-toolkit-docs` command to `arcade docs`. The
`arcade generate-toolkit-docs` command is preserved for backwards
compatibility, but it's now hidden.
Also some minor improvements to CLI help strings and better error
handling. Better error description when the toolkit is not installed
locally (also now mentioning this requirement in the command help).

Say you are @shubcodes and running arcade on replit or vs codespaces.
Today, `arcade login` assumes that the browser you've opened for the
auth flow's "localhost" is the same that is running the `arcade login`
command. If you are running on one of these remote code execution
environments, that won't be true.
Usage:
```
arcade login --callback-host "https://replit.com:9999/path/to/my/codespace"
```
### Overview
Major restructuring from monolithic `arcade-ai` package to modular
library architecture with standardized uv-based dependency management.
### New Package Structure
- **`arcade-tdk`** - Lightweight toolkit development kit (core
decorators, auth)
- **`arcade-core`** - Core execution engine and catalog functionality
- **`arcade-serve`** - FastAPI/MCP server components
- **`arcade-ai`** - Meta package that includes CLI functionality.
Optionally include evals via the `evals` extra. Optionally include all
packages via the `all` extra.
### Key Benefits
- **Lighter Dependencies**: Toolkits now depend only on `arcade-tdk` (~2
deps) vs full `arcade-ai` (~30+ deps)
- **Faster Builds**: uv provides 10-100x faster dependency resolution
and installation
- **Better Modularity**: Clear separation of concerns, consumers import
only what they need
- **Standard Tooling**: Eliminates custom poetry scripts, uses standard
Python packaging
### Migration Impact
- All 20 toolkits converted from poetry → uv with `arcade-tdk`
dependencies plus `arcade-ai[evals]` and `arcade-serve` dev
dependencies. When developing locally, devs should install toolkits via
`make install-local`.
- Modern Python 3.10+ type hints throughout
- Standardized build system with hatchling backend
- Enhanced Makefile with robust toolkit management commands
- Removed `arcade dev` CLI command
- Reduce the number of files created by `arcade new` and add an option
to not generate a tests and evals folder.
This foundation enables faster development cycles and cleaner dependency
chains for the growing toolkit ecosystem.
### Todo After this PR is merged
- [ ] Post-merge workflow(s) (release & publish containers, etc)
- [ ] Release order plan. @EricGustin suggests releasing in the
following order:
1. `arcade-core` version 0.1.0
2. `arcade-serve` version 0.1.0 and `arcade-tdk` version 0.1.0
3. `arcade-ai` version 2.0.0
4. Patch release for all toolkits (all changes in toolkits are internal
refactors)
- [ ] [Update docs](https://github.com/ArcadeAI/docs/pull/318)
