Research direction

The five user-facing error strings are in services/compute/index.ts at lines 89, 114, 191, 197 and 304. Check docs/terms.md for the approved term (workspace) and the app's action names, such as Start compute. Reword each message to use those terms, changing only the text and not any stored format or control flow. Done when none of the five messages says "sandbox" and the wording matches the glossary.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The cloud compute service's errors call the workspace a "sandbox". docs/terms.md calls it the channel's workspace (a container in the pilot). These messages reach people through the app's "Cloud compute" refusals, so the wrong term shows up in the UI.

services/compute/index.ts:

  • L89 The sandbox is stopped
  • L114 Sandbox did not become ready in 120 seconds
  • L191 Sandbox is already running; use resize to change its size
  • L197 The sandbox was lost without a checkpoint; refusing to create an empty replacement
  • L304 The sandbox is stopped; use start to restore it

Reword them in terms of the workspace and the app's actions. For example, "The cloud workspace is stopped; use Start compute to restore it." Rewording these messages doesn't change any stored format.

Found while writing up the cloud compute part of the automated study.
