Description

User Story

For whatever reason some of my "sandbox create" (using podman) take longer than 30 seconds and thus timeout.

Problem Statement

For whatever reason some of my "sandbox create" (using podman) take longer than 30 seconds and thus timeout.

Impact / Why This Matters

it's awkward trying to download images by hand; try running multiple times to get one to work; debug whether it's just a time issue or some other problem.

Proposed Design

add "--timeout=?" to sandbox create to override 30 second default.

Acceptance Criteria

observe that sandbox create could wait longer for podman to create the container

Alternatives Considered

none

Agent Investigation

Research direction

Start by tracing the sandbox create command to the existing 30-second timeout and its Podman creation path, using the architecture docs referenced in the issue. Done means sandbox create --timeout=? can override the default and wait longer for Podman without breaking the default behavior; add or run the relevant command tests if they are found there.
