## Human Summary
OpenAI Python SDK v3.14.1 addresses several bug fixes including client retry limit validation and error preservation, alongside examples, chores, and doc updates.

## Agent Summary
OpenAI Python SDK v3.14.1 fixes client retry limit validation while preserving application errors, logs only metadata for Live WebSocket diagnostics, and skips structured parsing for commentary. It also cleans up unused fine-tuning validators and updates examples/docs.

## Body
OpenAI Python SDK release 3.14.1 includes multiple bug fixes and internal chores: client retry limits are validated and application errors are preserved (PR 3867); structured parsing is skipped for commentary in responses (PR 3861); Live WebSocket diagnostics now log only metadata (PR 3865); and various example scripts and documentation paths were corrected, including bumping example module client.py to gpt-5.6 and removing unused fine-tuning data validators.

## Recommended actions
- Verify error-handling flows if relying on previous unvalidated retry limits or error propagation behavior.
- Review WebSocket logging configurations if depending on diagnostic log outputs beyond metadata.
- Upgrade openai python package to v3.14.1 via package manager.
