Mish Ushakov 9f9e2a8f20 Render failed layer stack traces on build error (#901)
### Changelog

- Added traces for Python and JavaScript SDK.
- Added methods for stack trace collection, stack trace context
- Updated file upload mechanism for tracing
- Changed API handling to support throwing API errors with traces

> **Note**
> For functions like `aptInstall`, `fromRegistry` which call `.run` and
`.fromImage`, the stack trace has to be replaced so it throws correctly
from parent.

> **Note**
> There are no build logs in the trace, we can add this at later point.

### Examples

Keep in mind that the way the traces are rendered entirely depends on
environment (Bun, Node, Deno, Vitest, Pytest)

What is E2B?

E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you to run AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.

Run your first Sandbox

1. Install SDK

pip install e2b-code-interpreter

2. Get your E2B API key

  1. Sign up to E2B here.
  2. Get your API key here.
  3. Set environment variable with your API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

3. Execute code with code interpreter inside Sandbox

from e2b_code_interpreter import Sandbox

with Sandbox.create() as sandbox:
    sandbox.run_code("x = 1")
    execution = sandbox.run_code("x+=1; x")
    print(execution.text)  # outputs 2

4. Check docs

Visit E2B documentation.

5. E2B cookbook

Visit our Cookbook to get inspired by examples with different LLMs and AI frameworks.
