Adds MicrosandboxRuntime, a provider adapter for the microsandbox SDK (0.6.x), implementing both existing ports: the orchestration-plane SandboxRuntime and the bootstrap-plane WorkflowRuntime.

The SDK is an optional peer dependency and is imported lazily (await import("microsandbox")), so a consumer on another provider neither bundles it nor needs its platform-specific native addon installed.

API facts this adapter is built on

Read from the SDK's own dist/*.d.ts at 0.6.11 and re-verified against the installed package by the contract tests below.

Fact Consequence
A sandbox is addressed by a caller-chosen name (≤128 UTF-8 bytes), not a server-assigned id — Sandbox.builder(name), Sandbox.get(name), handle.remove() RuntimeHandle.id carries the name. An over-long name is rejected with MicrosandboxNameTooLongError rather than truncated, because truncation would alias two sandboxes onto one identity. Byte length, not .length.
Backend selection is process-wide global state: setDefaultBackend(b) (permanent) / withDefaultBackend(b, fn) (scoped, restored in a finally) The adapter only ever uses the scoped form. Constructing a runtime touches no SDK surface at all, and two runtimes on different backends coexist. The SDK documents that the scope is not task-local; that caveat is recorded in the source, and the wrapped region is kept to a single SDK call.
The builder has no create-timeout setter. maxDuration / idleTimeout are sandbox LIFETIME budgets createTimeoutSeconds is enforced as a client-side boot deadline (MicrosandboxCreateTimeoutError). Mapping it onto either lifetime knob would kill every long-lived sandbox the moment the boot deadline elapsed. The timed-out sandbox stays addressable under its deterministic name, so a caller can reattach or reclaim it.
SandboxStatus is running | stopped | crashed | draining Normalized onto the STARTED/STOPPED vocabulary the delivery path uses. draining reads as STOPPED: it is on its way down, so handing it back as a warm lease would hand a caller a sandbox about to disappear.
Sandbox.listWith(b => b.labels(...)) is a real server-side label query with cursor pagination warmLease: true — warm-lease lookup is meaningful, and pages are drained until the limit is met or the cursor runs out.
handle.start() / handle.stop() genuinely resume and halt a microVM lifecycle: true — unlike the E2B adapter, where both are no-ops.
Errors carry a typed MicrosandboxErrorCode (e.g. sandboxNotFound) Absent-vs-broken is decided on the code when one is present; message sniffing is a fallback only. A transport error whose text happens to say "not found" is not laundered into "this sandbox does not exist".
ExecHandle is process-local — no server-side id to poll from a fresh process Async exec is durable instead: the run is backgrounded behind a wrapper capturing combined output and the final exit code to guest files, and poll ticks reattach by name via Sandbox.get + connectWithTimeoutconnect, not start, so reattaching never implicitly boots a stopped sandbox or takes lifecycle ownership.
ExecOutput resolves with code/success rather than throwing on a non-zero exit A non-zero exit arrives as a result, not an exception.

No baked-in configuration

backend, image or snapshot, and homeDir are all required arguments — none has a default that is correct for another consumer. The package ships no endpoint, image, template or credential, reads no environment variable, and never logs, persists, or interpolates an API key into a command.

Public types exported

MicrosandboxRuntime, MicrosandboxRuntimeOptions, MicrosandboxBackend, MicrosandboxSdk, MicrosandboxStatus, MicrosandboxNameTooLongError, MicrosandboxCreateTimeoutError.

Tests

106 cases, every behavior and capability claim carrying paired must-fire and must-not-fire assertions — for example: launch sets image and never fromSnapshot; launchDetached sets detached(true) and plain launch never does; replace() never fires unless opted in; the exec path never allocates a tty (backing the pty: false claim); a zero maxCount returns 0 without any SDK call; destroy does not remove the record after an unexplained kill failure.

6 real-SDK contract checks pin the structural SDK model against the installed package — statics, every builder setter, list-builder setters, the status vocabulary, the sandboxNotFound code, and that withDefaultBackend scopes and restores. These need no API key, no backend and no hypervisor, and skip cleanly if the native addon cannot load.

1 live smoke, gated off unless the operator supplies both an image and a backend.

Intentional red proof

Seven mutations were applied to the adapter one at a time; each was caught by exactly the intended tests, and the file was restored byte-identical (control run: 100 pass / 0 fail).

Mutation Tests that went red
Bypass withDefaultBackend 3 backend-scoping tests
Count characters instead of UTF-8 bytes counts UTF-8 BYTES, not characters
Map the boot deadline onto maxDuration never maps the create deadline onto a sandbox LIFETIME budget
Launder a message match over the typed error code 2 tests across getById and destroy
Skip the kill and just remove the record 2 destroy tests
Treat draining as a warm lease 3 label-lookup tests
Take lifecycle ownership by start()-ing on reattach 3 tests across destroy and reattach

Verification

npm ci 0 · npm run build 0 · npm run typecheck 0 · npm test 0 (155 tests, 153 pass, 0 fail, 2 skipped — both live-gated).

Note for reviewers

uploadBundle follows the Daytona convention (a string source is a host path, a Buffer is file content) so that this class's uploadFile and uploadBundle cannot disagree. The E2B adapter treats a string source as content instead — a pre-existing cross-provider divergence in the shared SandboxBundleFile contract, unchanged here and worth resolving separately.

Summary by cubic

Adds MicrosandboxRuntime, an adapter for microsandbox 0.6.x, with backend-aware capabilities, strict backend scoping, enforced ownership, durable async runs, and hardened destroy/lookup/log paths. The SDK requires Node 22+ with a native addon but loads lazily so other providers remain unaffected.

  • Capabilities by backend: snapshots are local-only; isolation is 'strong' on local and 'unknown' on cloud; no public ports.

  • Backend gate: process-global, strict FIFO, cancellable; default-dependent SDK calls run behind it; bound-handle calls bypass it. Queue timeout throws MicrosandboxBackendBusyError; failed restore poisons the gate (MicrosandboxBackendPoisonedError); timed-out waiters deregister.

  • Ownership: sandbox id is a caller-chosen name (≤128 UTF-8 bytes) or MicrosandboxNameTooLongError. Launch/claimed lookups record ownership; start/stop/destroy operate only on owned sandboxes; ownership is sticky.

  • Create deadline and reclamation: client-enforced createTimeoutSeconds; late success is reclaimed (kill or stop, then remove); reclamation failures call onReclaimFailure(name, error) without escalating.

  • Cloud-safe destroy: forceDestroy tries kill(), and on Unsupported falls back to stop() then remove(); not-found/already-stopped are tolerated before removal; other fallback errors rethrow.

  • Lookup: drains label pages within a deadline (options.timeoutMs, default 10s); unreadable or non-advancing pages fail with pagination/timeout errors; exclusions apply during the drain; request size is limit ?? pageSize ?? listPageSize.

  • Durable async runs: atomic, idempotent session admission (reconciled: true when adopting the same run); conflict and lost-run detection; getExecLogs requires terminal status and raises MicrosandboxLogReadError when the exit code is unknown; bounded reads set truncated: true; Unicode-safe session-id encoding rejects split astrals. Latest test fix asserts the unknown-exit-code path via the harness’s unknownCode flag.

  • Types/exports/docs: exports MicrosandboxRuntime and related errors/types; IsolationLevel adds 'unknown'; port.ts adds reconciled?: true and truncated?: boolean; README documents Node 22+/native addon and local-backend virtualization.

  • Migration:

    • Using snapshot with a cloud backend now fails early; use an image or backend: 'local'.
    • Handle MicrosandboxBackendBusyError on cross-backend contention (retry/backoff or tune backendQueueTimeoutMs).
    • If you exhaustively switch on IsolationLevel, add a case for 'unknown'.

Written for commit e5d902f. Summary will update on new commits.

Implements `MicrosandboxRuntime` against both existing ports — the
orchestration-plane `SandboxRuntime` and the bootstrap-plane
`WorkflowRuntime` — on top of the `microsandbox` npm SDK (0.6.x), which
is an optional peer dependency imported lazily so no other consumer
pulls in its platform-specific native addon.

Three provider facts break assumptions the other adapters make, and each
one is handled explicitly rather than papered over:

- Identity is a caller-chosen NAME capped at 128 UTF-8 bytes, not a
  server-assigned id. `RuntimeHandle.id` carries that name, and an
  over-long name is rejected with a typed error rather than truncated,
  because a truncated name would alias two sandboxes onto one identity.
- Backend selection is process-wide global state. The adapter only ever
  uses the scoped `withDefaultBackend`, never `setDefaultBackend`, so
  constructing a runtime cannot mutate the host process and two runtimes
  on different backends can coexist.
- The builder has no create-timeout setter. `createTimeoutSeconds` is
  enforced as a client-side boot deadline instead of being mapped onto
  `maxDuration`/`idleTimeout`, which are sandbox LIFETIME budgets — that
  mapping would kill every long-lived sandbox at the boot deadline.

Async exec is durable rather than stream-bound: the SDK's `ExecHandle`
is process-local with no pollable server-side id, so runs are
backgrounded behind a wrapper that captures combined output and the
final exit code to guest files, and poll ticks reattach by name via
`Sandbox.get` + `connect` without taking lifecycle ownership.

Capabilities are declared to match what this adapter actually exposes:
`warmLease` and `lifecycle` are both real here (server-side label search
with cursor pagination; `start`/`stop` genuinely resume and halt a
microVM), unlike the E2B adapter where lifecycle is a no-op.

No infrastructure defaults or credentials are baked in: backend, image
or snapshot, and home directory are all required arguments.

Tests: 106 mocked/contract cases covering every claim with paired
must-fire and must-not-fire assertions, six checks pinning the
structural SDK model against the installed package so drift fails
loudly, and a live smoke gated off unless the operator supplies an image
and a backend.

…oping

Repairs the review findings on the Micro Sandbox adapter. Every fix below is
covered by tests that fail against e19e59d; a throwaway probe reproduced 8 of
the 9 defects directly against that commit before any of them were fixed.

Ownership. The adapter registered nothing about who a sandbox belongs to, so
`getById(id, { owned: false })` followed by `destroy` deleted a microVM the
caller had only borrowed. A registry now records ownership per name — claimed
by `launch`/`launchDetached`, by `getById(id, { owned: true })`, and by a
lookup that explicitly claims what it finds — and `destroy`, `stop` and `start`
make no remote call at all for an unowned or unknown handle, matching the
Daytona adapter. Ownership is sticky-true, so a later unclaimed attach cannot
demote a sandbox this process launched and strand it.

Late creates. The SDK cannot cancel an in-flight create, so a create that
finished after `createTimeoutSeconds` used to leave a running microVM nobody
was waiting for, holding a name the next launch needed. The timed-out create is
now watched: a late success is reclaimed (kill + remove), a late failure is
consumed, and a relaunch of the same name waits for the reclamation instead of
racing it.

Lookup. Exclusions were applied to an already-capped page, so a first page full
of already-claimed sandboxes answered "nothing warm available" while the next
page held a free one; they are now applied during the drain. A listing that
cannot be read or cannot advance — an unreadable page body, a non-string
cursor, a cursor identical to the one just used — now fails closed rather than
returning a short list the caller cannot tell apart from a complete one. Every
drain is bounded by a deadline (`options.timeoutMs`, default 10s). Request size
resolves as `limit ?? pageSize ?? listPageSize`, parity with the other
runtimes, while `limit` still caps results.

Backend scoping. `withDefaultBackend` swaps one process-wide slot and is
documented as not task-local, so two overlapping calls on different backends
could send one of them to the wrong place. Default-dependent statics now run
behind one process-global gate: same-backend calls share the open scope and
still run concurrently, a different backend queues until the scope has closed,
and a scope that cannot be entered fails the call closed instead of running it
on whatever the process default happens to hold. Bound `Sandbox`/`SandboxHandle
` calls stay off the gate — they read no global state, and holding it across a
long exec would block every other backend for the run's lifetime.

Async runs. The durable-file wrapper is replaced by a guest protocol that takes
the command as an argument rather than as interpolated script text:

  - admission claims the session directory with an atomic `mkdir`, so a resubmit
    of the same command adopts the existing run (`reconciled: true`) instead of
    starting a second one, and a resubmit of a different command is refused
    without overwriting anything;
  - the command runs in a CHILD shell, so an `exit 7` inside it no longer skips
    the exit-code record and leaves the caller polling forever;
  - a run whose process is gone without an exit code — killed, out of memory,
    or interrupted by a sandbox restart, detected by pid liveness and boot id —
    ends the poll with `MicrosandboxRunLostError`;
  - session ids are encoded reversibly, so `a/b` and `a_b` can no longer share
    one run directory and report each other's exit codes;
  - `getExecLogs` reads the authoritative status instead of defaulting the log
    read's null exit code to 0, which reported every unfinished run as success.

Truthfulness. The SDK's Node 22+ floor, its native addon, and its
hardware-virtualization requirement are documented in the README and wrapped
into the lazy import's failure message; a test pins the SDK's declared engines
so the claim cannot go stale. The guest protocol is exercised against a real
/bin/sh, and the SDK-contract checks skip rather than fail where the addon
cannot load.

…end gate

Three provider claims this adapter published were not ones the package could
stand behind, and one concurrency defect could deadlock a whole process.

CAPABILITIES ARE BACKEND-SENSITIVE, NOT PROCESS-WIDE CONSTANTS

`capabilities` was a flat field asserting `snapshots: true` and
`isolation: 'strong'` for every instance, justified only by `fromSnapshot`
existing on the SDK builder. Existence of a setter is not evidence a backend
honours it. Both fields are now derived from the backend the instance is bound
to:

- `snapshots` is LOCAL-only. What `fromSnapshot` consumes is a snapshot
  ARTIFACT, and the SDK resolves those from a host-local directory
  (`~/.microsandbox/snapshots/<name>/`, indexed in a local DB cache), which a
  cloud create cannot reach. Configuring `snapshot` with a cloud backend is now
  refused in the CONSTRUCTOR — before the lazy `import("microsandbox")`, before
  any SDK call — so it cannot be mistaken for a backend outage. That Microsandbox
  cloud does not support snapshot-sourced creates is vendor documentation and is
  recorded as such in the code, because it is NOT derivable from the installed
  typings; the host-local half IS checkable and is cited alongside it.

- `isolation` is `'strong'` on local and `'unknown'` on cloud. `IsolationLevel`
  gains `'unknown'` for exactly this: a provider whose isolation this package has
  not established. Locally the SDK boots a microVM with its own guest kernel on a
  virtualization-capable host, which is verifiable. The cloud backend's
  isolation, region placement and resource enforcement are vendor-documented but
  not observable here and this adapter measures none of them, so it no longer
  claims them. No other adapter's values change.

Custom and published PORTS are documented as unsupported rather than silently
ignored: the SDK builder exposes `port()`/`portBind()`, but the ports this
package targets have no public-port surface, so the adapter never calls them.

A CLIENT-SIDE DEADLINE COULD WEDGE THE PROCESS-GLOBAL BACKEND GATE

`withBackendScope` released in a `finally` around `await fn()`, but
`withDeadline`/`awaitWithin` race only the CALLER out. A create or lookup that
outlived its deadline returned a clean typed error while its SDK call stayed in
flight — so the `finally` never ran and the scope was never released. Every
other backend in the process then blocked forever. Both
`MicrosandboxCreateTimeoutError` and `MicrosandboxLookupTimeoutError` are
supported outcomes, so this was a normal path, not an exotic one. It was
invisible on a single-backend run: a wedged-open scope is joined, not blocked,
by a call wanting that same backend.

The queue wait is now bounded (`backendQueueTimeoutMs`, default 30s) and a call
that gives up fails with `MicrosandboxBackendBusyError`. Failing is the honest
outcome of the three available: waiting forever deadlocks the process, and
running anyway would send the call to whichever backend the process default
happens to hold — the one thing the gate exists to prevent. Releasing the scope
early was rejected deliberately: it would require the native layer to bind a
backend at invocation rather than during the in-flight call, which is not
verifiable from here, and getting it wrong would mis-route traffic rather than
merely delay it.

TESTS

Paired must-fire/must-not-fire cover for each claim: local+snapshot declares
`true` and calls `builder.fromSnapshot`; cloud+snapshot is refused at
construction AND leaves the SDK log empty, proving the refusal precedes the lazy
import; cloud+image never takes the snapshot path; `'unknown'` does not leak onto
local. The gate gains a regression test for the abandoned-holder case and a
must-not-fire guard that ordinary contention still succeeds.

Test hygiene, which mattered more than expected: four tests deliberately
abandoned a scope holder and left it pending, poisoning every later
different-backend call in the shared process. They now release it. Together with
bounding the queue this took the microsandbox file from 154 pass / 3 fail / 19
cancelled to 178 pass / 0 fail / 0 cancelled, and its runtime from 31s to 2.3s —
the cancellations were masking whether those tests passed at all.

Full gate, sequential and all green: build, typecheck, test (227 tests, 225
pass, 0 fail, 0 cancelled, 2 live-gated skips), npm audit --omit=dev (0
vulnerabilities), git diff --check, npm pack --dry-run.

Findings from sandbox-micro-fix4/fix5/fix6-0820, whose earlier work this builds
on, and the snapshot/isolation rulings from sandbox-lead-0819.

Found by a Veto diff review of 1bf8e2e, and it is a defect that commit
introduced.

A call that gave up waiting for the process-global backend gate threw
`MicrosandboxBackendBusyError` but left its resolver in the module-global
`backendScopeWaiters` array. That array is only cleared by `splice(0)` inside
`releaseBackendGate` — that is, when a scope RELEASES. The entire reason the
bound exists is the case where a scope is wedged by an SDK call that outlived
its client-side deadline and never releases, so under sustained load against a
wedged gate the waiter list grew without limit. The bound meant to contain one
failure mode quietly introduced another.

The waiter is now spliced out on the timeout path before the error is thrown.

Regression cover asserts the user-visible contract rather than the private
array: eight consecutive queue timeouts against a wedged scope all fail with the
typed error, and once the holder finally settles the gate still hands over
cleanly — which is what a corrupted queue would break.

Also from that review, recorded rather than changed:
- Widening `IsolationLevel` with `'unknown'` is safe for producers and no
  in-repo consumer switches on it (only daytona/runtime.ts:110 assigns a value),
  but it would break a downstream exhaustive switch with a never-typed default.
  Worth release notes, not a code change.
- `{ image: "x", snapshot: "" }` skips the cloud+snapshot guard on falsiness.
  Traced through: the boot path branches on the same truthiness, so it degrades
  coherently to an image boot and `capabilities.snapshots` stays correct. Left
  alone rather than tightening constructor validation for no behavioural gain.

Gate re-run, all green: build, typecheck, test (228 tests, 226 pass, 0 fail, 0
cancelled, 2 live-gated skips), npm audit --omit=dev, git diff --check, npm pack
--dry-run.

…estly poisoned

The gate serialises the SDK's one process-wide default-backend slot. Four
properties it claimed were not actually implemented, and one of them was
covered by a test that passed against the bug.

Strict FIFO. Releasing the gate woke EVERY waiter by splicing the queue
empty, so which one took the gate was decided by microtask scheduling, and
emptying the queue also destroyed the fact the starvation guard reads: a
second same-backend waiter re-checked, saw "nobody is waiting", and joined
the first one's scope. The gate is now handed to one named waiter at a time
via an explicit reservation, and a waiter that times out while holding that
reservation passes it on rather than wedging the gate on a caller that left.

Poison that cannot be silently un-set. A failed RESTORE leaves the process
default holding an unknown value, so it poisons the gate permanently. The
poison was recorded as the rejection reason and detected by comparing that
reason against null, which collapsed on exactly the rejections carrying no
value -- reject(null), Promise.reject(). It is now a dedicated flag with the
cause kept beside it.

Every participant hears a failed restore. Same-backend callers share one
scope, so they share its restore, but only the last one out awaited it: a
caller that finished earlier reported clean success from a scope that then
failed to restore. Early leavers now observe the shared outcome too. This
cannot deadlock -- the leaver decrements before awaiting, so the count it
waits on no longer includes itself.

Admission cancellation. Racing a timer against a gated call is not
cancellation: a lookup that gave up while queued was still queued, and could
be admitted later and issue a static long after its caller stopped waiting.
The overall deadline now withdraws the request from the queue.

Tests. The waiter-leak regression asserted only behaviour, which is identical
whether or not a timed-out waiter deregisters, so it passed against the leak
it was written for. It now asserts the queue length through a test-only
@internal probe. Each of the four fixes above was verified by reintroducing
the defect and confirming the new test fails.

Also removes shellSingleQuote, dead since the log read moved from an
interpolated shell string to a script invoked with positional argv, and drops
the last unverifiable vendor-provenance claim from the capability notes:
snapshots and isolation are now justified only by adapter contract and
host-local artifact behaviour.

…amation

The destroy path could return an error to the caller while leaving a running
sandbox on the hosted backend, and the late-create reclamation could
silently drop the same failure. Both were reproduced against the live
Microsandbox cloud on head f56e748: a normal destroy returned an error
after 759ms and the sandbox was still `running` 47s later; a late-create
reclamation completed without a signal and the sandbox was still `running`
90s later.

ROOT CAUSE

`forceDestroy` called `SandboxHandle.kill()` unconditionally. The hosted
backend does not implement kill and answers it with `UnsupportedError`
(code `"unsupported"`), and the catch at src/microsandbox/runtime.ts:2398
only pardoned `sandboxNotFound`/`alreadyStopped` — so the error re-threw
before `remove()` was ever reached. Local backend supports kill, so all
mocked/contract tests and the local smoke were blind to it.

The `reclaimLateCreate` catch was even worse: it swallowed every teardown
failure, so on the hosted backend the "a late create is reclaimed" promise
the caller reads in the timeout error was structurally false with no
signal anywhere.

FIX

`forceDestroy` now tries `kill()` (stronger where supported), and on
`Unsupported`/`UnsupportedOperation` falls back to `stop()`, then `remove()`.
`already-stopped`/`not-found` on the fallback are treated the same way as
they are on the first step — both mean the sandbox is quiescent by the
time `remove()` runs. Any other error on the fallback re-throws, because
remove-of-a-running-sandbox would fail on the provider anyway and the
caller retains responsibility.

The reclamation's silent catch is replaced by an optional
`onReclaimFailure(name, error)` runtime option. The hook is called
synchronously inside the reclamation catch, so a throwing hook still fails
here rather than surprising an unrelated caller of `launch`; a hook that
throws is itself swallowed so it cannot escalate a background failure into
a process-level unhandled rejection.

TESTS

Nine new mocked cases in the `destroy` and late-create suites reproduce
the SDK-shaped `UnsupportedError` (both `kill` and stop-fallback) and
assert the destroy still tears the sandbox down inside the test body —
NOT in an after-hook. The existing smoke's after-hook (runtime.test.ts:
4646-4653) swallowed cleanup errors, which is why the leak hid; the new
assertions are on the synchronous return path of `runtime.destroy`.

VERIFICATION

- Typecheck + full unit suite: 358 tests, 356 pass, 0 fail, 2 live-gated
  skips.
- Live must-fire / must-not-fire probe against Microsandbox cloud
  (predicate = `Sandbox.listWith` + `Sandbox.get` read directly off the
  SDK, n=1 per scenario):
  * predicate self-test: PASS (a leak WOULD be seen)
  * normal destroy: PASS — provider confirms gone within 5s (down from
    never-gone on head f56e748)
  * late-create reclamation: PASS — reclaimed within 15s (down from
    never-reclaimed on head f56e748)
- External account listing after probe: 0 sandboxes.

BASE

Rebased onto merged main (feat(e2b): implement full runtime parity, #12).
Overlap resolved in favour of the merged E2B contract per lead's ruling:
`e2b` peerDep tightened to `>=2.35.0 <3.0.0`, microsandbox peerDep added
alongside. Other `main` changes to `types.ts`/`port.ts`
(`IsolationLevel: 'unknown'`, `RunScriptResult.truncated`,
`AsyncRunStartResult.reconciled`) are unchanged by this commit.

Micro Sandbox destroy leak verdict: does not leak

Live-tested the current PR head d390fc117ab76f04151da65235bcea1dc68f1d91 against the Microsandbox cloud provider (2026-08-20). Credentials were loaded into the probe process via environment only.

  • Control (no adapter destroy before the check): created pr10-mt1vppco-4b09aa-control through MicrosandboxRuntime.launch(). The provider's label-filtered Sandbox.listWith(...) returned [{"name":"pr10-mt1vppco-4b09aa-control","status":"running"}], proving the listing predicate sees a live adapter-created resource. It was then cleaned up directly through the provider.
  • Destroy test: created pr10-mt1vppco-4b09aa-destroy through the adapter. Provider listing first returned it as running. MicrosandboxRuntime.destroy() returned success in 6,911 ms. A fresh provider listing was empty 276 ms later, and direct provider Sandbox.get(name) returned not found.
  • Cleanup: final provider listing for the unique probe label was []; no resources from this probe remain.

This settles the alleged failure mode (destroy reports success while the provider resource remains): it does not reproduce on the current head.

Add an absent-peer consumer check.

MicrosandboxRuntime uses a lazy dynamic import, and its public types do not reference microsandbox. Add a regression check that imports dist/index.js and resolves dist/index.d.ts without microsandbox installed.

Handover note from sandbox-lead-0821 (durable record)

Predecessor sandbox-lead-claude-0820b was released with 6 unpushed microsandbox commits in the shared ~/Projects/AgentWorkforce/sandbox checkout on sf-mini. I preserved that work before release as origin/safety/sandbox-micro-0819-lead-0821 (head f56e748).

Verified this tree is redundant against this PR's tip. Every commit on the safety branch appears on origin/agent/sandbox-micro-0819 under a new hash (rebased onto the post-#12 base), plus d390fc1 (fix(microsandbox): backend-safe destroy on cloud, and observable reclamation) sits on top authored by kjgbot. git range-diff origin/safety/sandbox-micro-0819-lead-0821...ba3981e 2caacdf...ba3981e shows only the rebase + one added Session-Id line.

Consequence: no reconciliation is required against the safety branch. sandbox10-micro-conflict-0821 on finn-mini remains the sole writer of agent/sandbox-micro-0819. I am not pushing here. The safety branch stays as an insurance artifact — do not delete it until this PR is merged.

Also flagging that the shared sandbox checkout on sf-mini still has an uncommitted package-lock.json and an untracked .probe-destroy-leak/ — I am not touching either; noting so nobody assumes they are clean.

Resolves conflicts between the microsandbox provider adapter and main's
concurrent agent37 adapter, port capability-modes feature (#17), and daytona
sdk bump (#18):

- types.ts / port.ts: both branches independently added ExecResult.truncated
  / RunScriptResult.truncated with contradictory doc claims (this branch: an
  absent flag guarantees completeness; main: absent means "not reported,"
  not a completeness guarantee). Kept main's weaker, provider-agnostic
  contract since it's the correct baseline for a type shared across adapters
  of varying capability; microsandbox's stronger internal guarantee is
  preserved as an implementation-level comment in runtime.ts, not the type
  contract.
- index.ts: purely additive - concatenated the microsandbox and agent37
  export blocks.
- package.json / package-lock.json: took main's @daytonaio/sdk range bump
  (>=0.205.0 <0.206.0) and added the microsandbox peer dependency on top;
  hand-merged the lockfile's alphabetical package block (@socket.io vs
  @superradcompany) since npm is hung host-wide on this node right now.
- README.md: auto-merged cleanly, both provider sections intact.

No functional changes to microsandbox/runtime.ts itself.

Session-Id: e9385da2-3504-42c7-9668-5f0129c683dd
The merge with main's structured capability-modes feature (#17) added a
modes field to resolveSandboxRuntimeCapabilities()'s return value that this
test predates. Same fix main already applied to E2B's equivalent guard.

…code log reads

Three review findings from cubic-dev-ai and chatgpt-codex-connector on this
PR, verified against current behavior and fixed:

- encodeRunSegment: the encoding regex lacked the /u flag, so it walked
  UTF-16 code units instead of code points. An astral session id (e.g. an
  emoji) was split into its two surrogate halves, each of which
  Buffer.from(..., "utf8") independently maps to U+FFFD - collapsing every
  distinct astral session id onto the same encoded run directory. Verified
  with a standalone repro before fixing.
- readRunLog: a guest read that completed without a numeric exit code fell
  through to treating stdout as successful output, contradicting this
  file's own stated discipline (see MicrosandboxUnknownOutcomeError) that an
  unreported outcome must never be defaulted to success. Now raises
  MicrosandboxLogReadError, matching the sibling non-zero-exit case.
- Left findByLabels's limit-as-page-size-only behavior unchanged: Daytona
  and E2B's findByLabels also never treat limit as a result cap (only
  findAllByLabels/countByLabels do), so this is established, consistent
  behavior across all three adapters, not a microsandbox-specific bug.

Also fixed the must-not-fire reclamation test that predicate-trapped on
`() => true` (resolves on the first poll) instead of waiting for the actual
handle.remove signal used by every sibling reclamation test.

Session-Id: e9385da2-3504-42c7-9668-5f0129c683dd
The exec mock only produces an undefined code via the unknownCode flag; an
absent code field defaults to 0 (`outcome.code ?? 0`), so the previous test
body exercised the already-covered zero-exit path instead of the new
unknown-exit-code guard.
