Subject: [PATCH] Update docs to use os.environ instead of export in Python
 examples
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace shell export statements with Python os.environ in all Python code blocks.
This provides a more Pythonic way to set environment variables.

Changes:
- docs/content/docs/get-started/quickstart.mdx: Update Cloud Sandbox, CUA VLM Router, and BYOK examples
- docs/content/docs/agent-sdk/supported-model-providers/cua-vlm-router.mdx: Update migration examples
