Research direction

Start by reading the sandbox roadmap in this issue and the referenced local swarm issue #438; the body names scoped-runtime.ts and devcontainer.json as relevant entry points. Pick a single item from the list and trace its existing implementation before estimating the work. Done is not defined for the overall request, which spans sandbox execution, isolation, previews, networking, and hardening.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Audit 2026-10-18, phase 2, ranked by value against effort:

  1. True in-container execution for every route: proxy provider shell, file and web tools into the sandbox.
  2. A disposable sandbox per task or agent for the local swarm (#438).
  3. Snapshot and branch: try N approaches in parallel and apply the best.
  4. Preview servers with port forwarding to the in-app browser.
  5. A per-sandbox network allowlist with an egress proxy (modelled in scoped-runtime.ts, not implemented; allowlist currently maps to none).
  6. Reproducible environment from the repo's devcontainer.json.
  7. A resource view across all running sandboxes.
  8. Safe Full access inside the sandbox (depends on 1).
    Hardening notes: strip setuid binaries from the image; document the userns posture for rootful Linux engines.
