Good morning, it's October 4th, 2026.

The throughline today is making sandboxes reliable outside Docker, and making secrets actually reach them.

First, secrets. Operators could save Slack tokens and the Typesafe A P I key with the secret command, but services inside the sandbox never saw them, causing stale credentials and authentication failures. P R 1293 aligns the gateway, entry point, escalation scripts and health check to read the same environment file…

Second, running beyond containers. P R 1321 fixes sandbox detection for virtual machines that boot the Agro image, which lack the Docker marker file, so the C L I no longer mistakes a V M for the host. That pairs with P R 1310, which flushes the first-boot seed to disk and recovers empty config files after a power…

Finally, test hygiene and release pace. P R 1291 adds coverage tooling, P R 1292 trims low-value tests while holding coverage steady, and P R 1296 fixes a bundle race that broke fresh checkouts. The team also renamed the curl installer to a standard name in P R 1311, switched the default Pi model to G P T 6 point 1…

What's next: expect follow-through on remote sandbox images and manual review flows, plus tighter…
