## Summary
- Require release-tag PRs to come from the same repository before
creating tags.
- Preserve the existing merged-PR and `release/v*` branch gates.
## Validation
- Parsed `.github/workflows/release-tag.yml` with PyYAML.
### Sandbox Agents
This release adds **Sandbox Agents**, a beta SDK surface for running
agents with a persistent, isolated workspace. Sandbox agents keep the
normal `Agent` and `Runner` flow, but add workspace manifests,
sandbox-native capabilities, sandbox clients, snapshots, and resume
support so agents can work over real files, run commands, edit
repositories, generate artifacts, and continue work across runs.
Key pieces:
- `SandboxAgent`: an `Agent` with sandbox defaults such as
`default_manifest`, sandbox instructions, capabilities, and `run_as`.
- `Manifest`: a fresh-workspace contract for files, directories, local
files, local directories, Git repos, environment, users, groups, and
mounts.
- `SandboxRunConfig`: per-run sandbox wiring for client creation, live
session injection, serialized session resume, manifest overrides,
snapshots, and materialization concurrency limits.
- Built-in capabilities for shell access, filesystem editing and image
inspection, skills, memory, and compaction.
- Workspace snapshots and serialized sandbox session state for
reconnecting to existing work or seeding a fresh sandbox from saved
contents.
### Sandbox clients and hosted providers
Sandbox agents now support local, containerized, and hosted execution
backends:
- `UnixLocalSandboxClient` for fast local development.
- `DockerSandboxClient` for container isolation and image parity.
- Hosted sandbox clients for Blaxel, Cloudflare, Daytona, E2B, Modal,
Runloop, and Vercel through optional extras.
The release also adds provider-specific examples and mount strategies
for common storage backends, including S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud
Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and S3 Files where supported by the
selected backend.
### Sandbox memory
Adds a sandbox memory capability that lets future sandbox-agent runs
learn from prior runs. Memory stores extracted lessons in the sandbox
workspace, injects a concise summary into later runs, and uses
progressive disclosure so agents can search deeper rollout summaries
only when useful.
Memory supports:
- Read-only or generate-only modes.
- Live updates when the agent discovers stale memory.
- Multi-turn grouping through `conversation_id`, SDK `Session`,
`RunConfig.group_id`, or generated run IDs.
- Separate memory layouts for isolating memory across agents or
workflows.
- S3-backed examples for persisted memory across runs.
### Workspace mounts, snapshots, and resume
This release adds a full workspace entry and mount model for sandbox
sessions:
- Local files and directories.
- Synthetic files and directories.
- Git repository entries.
- Remote storage mounts for S3, R2, GCS, Azure Blob Storage, and S3
Files.
- Provider-specific mount strategies across Docker, Modal, Cloudflare,
Blaxel, Daytona, E2B, and Runloop.
- Portable snapshots with path normalization, symlink preservation,
mount-safe snapshotting, and remote snapshot support.
- Resume paths through runner-managed `RunState`, explicit
`SandboxSessionState`, or saved snapshots.
### Examples and tutorials
Adds a large `examples/sandbox/` suite covering:
- Local Unix and Docker sandbox runners.
- Docker mount smoke tests for S3, GCS, Azure Blob Storage, and S3
Files.
- Sandbox coding tasks with skills.
- Sandbox agents as tools and handoff patterns.
- Memory examples, including multi-agent/multi-turn memory and S3-backed
memory.
- Tax-prep and healthcare-support workflows.
- Dataroom QA and metric extraction tutorials.
- Repository code review tutorial.
- Vision website clone tutorial.
- Provider examples for Blaxel, Cloudflare, Daytona, E2B, Modal,
Runloop, Temporal, and Vercel.
### Runtime, tracing, and model plumbing
The release includes the runtime plumbing needed to make sandbox agents
work naturally inside the existing SDK:
- Runner-managed sandbox preparation, capability binding, session
lifecycle, state serialization, and resume behavior.
- Sandbox-aware `RunState` serialization.
- Unified sandbox tracing with SDK spans.
- Token usage on tracing spans.
- Runner-managed prompt cache key defaults.
- OpenAI agent registration and harness ID configuration.
- Safer redaction of sensitive MCP tool outputs when sensitive tracing
is disabled.
- Additional OpenAI client/model utilities and Chat Completions
coverage.
