Sandbox image preview, built from 7a048ec: To try it, set a sandbox provider's image to that under Sandboxes in the workspace's settings, then Upgrade the pod's sandbox; on E2B, prepare the template again first. The tag moves with each push to this pull request, so a machine that pulled it before may need It's deleted when the pull request closes. |

ghcr.io/nitrictech/sugabots-sandbox and docker.io/nitrictech/sugabots-sandbox, built with `bun run build:sandbox` and published with each release: Debian with the tools agents reach for when they work on code, and sugabots-desktop, which starts desktops on their own displays, served over VNC, plain or as a WebSocket. Each desktop has a Plank dock with Browser, Terminal and Files, marking the apps with windows open. Its browser is Chromium, started on the desktop and driven by Playwright MCP over CDP, so it lives across the MCP sessions that drive it; `desktop` starts a desktop alone, `session` with its browser. Nix is installed for the agents' user, without root, with nixpkgs following a NixOS release's branch and nixpkgs-unstable the unstable one, so agents can add software the image lacks: `nix profile install nixpkgs#ffmpeg`, or `nix shell` for one command. A pull request that changes the image gets a preview of it, tagged pr-<number> and deleted when the pull request closes.

Initial Sugabots sandbox image, contains tools for browser use, nix as a package manager for user level software installs and other tooling to get the image working well for both headless and UI based automation:
Example desktop:

Definitely needs additional work and ricing (the rest of the UI is very basic at the moment), but worked to keep the PR itself pretty light and the software itself lightweight (so it works well with software rendering).
