docs: Update VCR testing documentation and fix PEP 8 import order

- Update docs/vcr-testing.md with new PII sanitization features
- Document transport_helpers.inject_transport() for simpler test setup
- Add sanitize_cassettes.py script documentation
- Update file structure to include all new components
- Fix PEP 8: Move copy import to top of openai_compatible.py
- Enhance security notes about automatic sanitization

 ## Usage in Tests
 
-See `test_o3_pro_output_text_fix.py` for a complete example:
+The `transport_helpers.inject_transport()` function simplifies test setup:
 
 ```python
-async def test_with_recording():
-    # Transport factory auto-detects record vs replay mode
-    transport = TransportFactory.create_transport("tests/openai_cassettes/my_test.json")
-    provider._test_transport = transport
+from tests.transport_helpers import inject_transport
 
-    # Use normally - recording happens transparently
+async def test_with_recording(monkeypatch):
+    # One-line setup - handles all transport injection complexity
+    inject_transport(monkeypatch, "tests/openai_cassettes/my_test.json")
+    
+    # Use API normally - recording/replay happens transparently
     result = await chat_tool.execute({"prompt": "2+2?", "model": "o3-pro"})
 ```
 
+For manual setup, see `test_o3_pro_output_text_fix.py`.
+
+## Automatic PII Sanitization
+
+All recordings are automatically sanitized to remove sensitive data:
+
+- **API Keys & Tokens**: Bearer tokens, API keys, and auth headers
+- **Personal Data**: Email addresses, IP addresses, phone numbers
+- **URLs**: Sensitive query parameters and paths
+- **Custom Patterns**: Add your own sanitization rules
+
+Sanitization is enabled by default in `RecordingTransport`. To disable:
+
+```python
+transport = TransportFactory.create_transport(cassette_path, sanitize=False)
+```

+## Sanitizing Existing Cassettes
+
+Use the `sanitize_cassettes.py` script to clean existing recordings:
+
+```bash
+# Sanitize all cassettes (creates backups)
+python tests/sanitize_cassettes.py
+
+# Sanitize specific cassette
+python tests/sanitize_cassettes.py tests/openai_cassettes/my_test.json
+

+- Create timestamped backups of original files
+- Apply comprehensive PII sanitization
+- Preserve JSON structure and functionality

+- **RecordingTransport**: Captures real HTTP calls with automatic PII sanitization
