Description
Packages downloaded from package repositories often depend on other ecosystems to function correctly (e.g. an NPM package uses PyPI).
So rather than having a separate sandbox image for each ecosystem we could instead have a single common image and just mount the analyze script into the image.
This enables some interesting other capabilities:
- make the sandbox harder to evade by detecting the analyze script
- allows different versions of linux, node, python, etc to be tested
- makes the infrastructure more flexible for broader use-cases

Research direction
The issue names sandbox images and the analyze script but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how ecosystem-specific images are selected and where the analyze script is mounted or invoked. Done means consolidating the images around a common runtime while supporting runtime injection and the listed flexibility goals.
