Description

Sandbox blocks all shell command execution in containerized environments.

Steps to reproduce:

Run spacebot v0.3.3 inside a Docker container
Attempt to execute any shell command via worker (e.g., gh --version)
Error occurs

Expected behavior: Shell commands should execute normally, or system should gracefully fall back to unsandboxed execution with a warning.

Actual behavior:

bwrap: Creating new namespace failed: Operation not permitted

Environment:

spacebot v0.3.3
Docker container (Linux)
Sandbox mode: enabled

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with spacebot v0.3.3 in a Linux Docker container, with sandbox mode enabled, and run a worker shell command such as gh --version. Trace the sandboxed command path that invokes bwrap; done means commands work in the container or fail over to unsandboxed execution with a warning.
