* fix(middleware): externalize oversized tool output into sandbox for non-mounted sandboxes
ToolOutputBudgetMiddleware persisted oversized tool results to the host
filesystem and returned a /mnt/user-data/outputs virtual path. For sandboxes
that do not use thread-data mounts (e.g. remote AIO sandbox), that virtual
path does not exist inside the sandbox, so the model's read_file tool could
not read it back and reported 'file not found'.
Branch on SandboxProvider.uses_thread_data_mounts:
- Mounted sandboxes (local Docker, AIO + LocalContainerBackend) keep the
original host-disk path; the host outputs dir is bind-mounted to the same
virtual path inside the sandbox, so behavior is unchanged.
- Non-mounted (remote) sandboxes externalize into the sandbox itself via
execute_command('mkdir -p ...') + write_file + 'test -s' validation. The
validation step is required because AIO sandbox execute_command returns
'Error: ...' as a string on failure instead of raising, so a silent mkdir
failure would otherwise leak through.
Any failure (rejected subdir, mkdir/write/validate error) falls back to the
existing inline head+tail truncation, so an unreadable path is never returned
to the model.
The sandbox resolver reads the sandbox_id that SandboxMiddleware already
writes into runtime.state['sandbox']; it never calls provider.acquire(),
keeping the tool-call hot path free of blocking I/O. Tools that do not use a
sandbox (web_search, MCP, ...) resolve to None and fall through to inline
truncation, which is the safe behavior for them.
Fixes#3416
* fix(middleware): address Copilot review feedback on sandbox externalization
- Make get_sandbox_provider() lookup best-effort in _budget_content: only
query when outputs_path or sandbox is available, and fall back to inline
truncation if provider initialization raises rather than propagating
the error. A resolved sandbox instance is sufficient on its own to take
the non-mounted externalization branch.
- Strict-match the sandbox post-write validation echo
(check.strip() == 'OK') to avoid false positives if execute_command
ever surfaces unrelated stdout/stderr containing 'OK' as a substring.

* test: fix flaky tests relying on /nonexistent/... path under container root
Two tests in this module (test_returns_none_on_invalid_path and
test_fallback_when_disk_write_fails) used paths like
'/nonexistent/impossible/path' to trigger _externalize's OSError
fallback. These paths are creatable when the test process runs as root
inside the CI container: os.makedirs(..., exist_ok=True) successfully
creates the entire chain under /, so the OSError branch is never hit
and the tests fail. Reproducible on main independently of this PR.
Switch to '/dev/null/cannot-mkdir-here'. /dev/null is a character
device on both Linux and macOS, so os.makedirs always fails with
NotADirectoryError regardless of privileges, reliably exercising the
OSError fallback.
* fix(tool-output-budget): only consult sandbox provider when a sandbox is resolved
The previous revision called get_sandbox_provider() whenever externalization
was triggered, including on the legacy host-disk path. Environments without
a configured sandbox -- in particular CI runners without a config.yaml --
would raise FileNotFoundError there, get caught, and silently fall back to
inline truncation. That defeated the host-disk externalization path that
predates this PR and was the root cause of the regressing legacy tests.
Restructure the branching so the provider is only consulted when a sandbox
has actually been resolved for the current tool call:
- sandbox resolved + provider.uses_thread_data_mounts: host-disk write
(bind-mounted into the sandbox, equivalent to a sandbox-side write).
- sandbox resolved + non-mounted provider: sandbox write (#3416).
- no sandbox + outputs_path: host-disk write
(legacy / non-sandbox tools, no provider call at all).
- otherwise: inline fallback.
No test changes; the legacy externalization tests are provider-agnostic by
construction and now pass without monkeypatching.

* test(tool-output-budget): assert legacy path does not call sandbox provider
Lock in the contract introduced by d6e2d25b: when no sandbox is resolved
for a tool call, _budget_content must externalize to the host outputs
directory without consulting get_sandbox_provider(). Regressing this would
re-break legacy / non-sandbox tools in environments without a configured
sandbox (e.g. CI without config.yaml), which is the failure mode #3416's
fix avoids.
The test injects a get_sandbox_provider that raises on call, so any
future refactor that moves the provider lookup out of the sandbox-only
branch will fail loudly.
