Description

Birdcage, the underlying sandbox of rattler-sandbox, has been archived.

An actively maintained alternative would be bubblewrap, but that one only works for Linux. For MacOS we could keep birdcage or implement our own (see how homebrew does it; it's quite simple).

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Birdcage issue, the bubblewrap project, Homebrew's Library/Homebrew/extend/os/mac/sandbox.rb, and the referenced rattler and pixi issues. Compare the available Linux and macOS approaches and clarify the replacement's supported platforms and scope; done means an agreed implementation direction rather than an unresolved list of alternatives.
