feat(sandbox): move to Sandbox SDK 1.0 and DirectoryBackup - #1349
Merged
Merged
Conversation
1.0 drops the Sandbox class, so the Durable Object is ours and drives ctx.container directly under the default scheduling policy (the only one alchemy can declare). It keeps the SandboxLike port, so checkout.ts barely changes: - exec runs bash -c under coreutils timeout, which kills the whole process group; the port reports timedOut instead of matching messages - background clones use a directory per process (pid, exit code, logs), Cloudflare's recipe, in src/processes.ts so verify:image runs it - the credential is written with Files - mirror backups use DirectoryBackup through DirectoryBackupGateway, so the container and Worker no longer hold R2 S3 credentials; the stored handle is the full record, and 0.x handles read as no backup The 1.0 image only carries the shim, so the image is now built from apps/sandbox/image/Dockerfile (node 24 trixie, git, jq, bun, shim), about 420 MB against 1 GB. verify:image builds it and passes every check, with and without SYS_ADMIN.

Cloudflare Workers Containers API Container start running property start already starting idempotent
💡 Result:
It depends which API you mean:
- **`ctx.container.start()` (Durable Object Container API):** **No**—it is not idempotent once the container is already running; Cloudflare documents that calling `start()` then throws an error. The API docs also say to coordinate concurrent `start()` calls when needed. ([developers.cloudflare.com](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/api/durable-object-container/))
- **`Container.start()` from `@cloudflare/containers`:** The published docs say the method starts the container, while the implementation calls `startContainerIfNotRunning()`. That suggests it handles an already-started container, but the sources don’t explicitly promise idempotency for simultaneous calls while startup is in progress. ([github.com](https://github.com/cloudflare/containers/blob/main/src/lib/container.ts))
For the Durable Object API, check `container.running` and coordinate concurrent starts; for `@cloudflare/containers`, `start()` handles the start-if-not-running path.
Citations:
- 1: https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/api/durable-object-container/
- 2: https://github.com/cloudflare/containers/blob/main/src/lib/container.ts
Coordinate concurrent container starts.
ctx.container uses the Durable Object Container API. When this.setup resolves before container.running becomes true, another call can enter if (this.setup === undefined || !container.running), replace this.setup, and call container.start({ enableInternet: true }) again. The API does not guarantee that concurrent start() calls are safe. A duplicate call may reject and surface as start the container.
Reuse an in-flight start operation, and create a new setup operation only after the container has stopped. Do not rely on start() being a no-op.

The 1.0 move kept a port that copied the 0.x API (startProcess, getProcess, getProcessLogs, writeFile) and rebuilt a process table to serve it. Now that the Durable Object is ours: - the DO exposes one RPC method, run(request), and runs checkout.ts's execute inside, so a tool call is one round trip instead of several - the port is Effect-based exec + spawn; processes.ts is gone - one status script reads the clone's state from /var/lib/maple-clones/<sha> and claims the clone with mkdir; a failed or lost clone is reported once and retried on the next call, where 0.x kept it failed until the container slept - the clone token travels in the clone's environment instead of a root-only file, so Files, sandboxCredentialPath, the chmod and the cleanup trap are gone; verify:image checks the agent's account cannot read /proc/<pid>/environ - the 7-day TTL check is gone: the bucket's lifecycle rule deletes old archives and a missing one already comes back as gone The seed directory stays: restoring straight into the mirror could swap it out from under another commit's clone mid-fetch.

Main moved the sandbox Worker to Sandbox SDK 1.0 (#1349), which replaced the process registry with a per-commit state directory. Its status script already re-clones a finished clone whose checkout was pruned, so this branch's cleanupCompletedProcesses fix is dropped. The eviction fix is ported onto it: LRU with a grace window, a touch on every ready answer, and scratch directories removed only when their clone's PID is gone.

What
Moves
apps/sandboxfrom@cloudflare/sandbox0.12.10 to 1.0.0. The main gain is the newDirectoryBackupfor the repository mirror: the container and the Worker no longer hold R2 S3 credentials, and a backup restores into a container running a newer image.Why it looks the way it does
1.0 removes the
Sandboxclass. Your own Durable Object drivesctx.container, and the package only shipsFiles,DirectoryBackupand bucket mounts. Cloudflare's migration guide assumes thedurable_objectscheduling policy, but alchemy (beta.81, the latest) can only declare thedefaultpolicy: its container metadata is just{ className }, with no namedimagesmap. Soctx.container.images, per-start image and instance, andsnapshotContainerare out of reach.DirectoryBackup,Files,exec()andinterceptOutboundHttp()are not policy-restricted in the docs, so this PR stays ondefault.Changes
worker.ts: our ownSandboxDurable Object. It implements the sameSandboxLikeport, socheckout.tsbarely changes. The class name is unchanged, so no DO migration.execrunsbash -cunder coreutilstimeout, which kills the whole process group (0.x left the command running). The port returnstimedOutinstead of matching the error message.src/processes.ts.Files. 10 minutes of inactivity replacessleepAfter.DirectoryBackupGateway, reached throughctx.exports.mirror-backup.ts: stores the fullDirectoryBackupRecord(restore checks its SHA-256). Missing or corrupt archives are reported by the host as"gone". 0.x handles don't decode, so they read as no backup.cloudflare/sandboximage is a 3.9 MB scratch image holding onlysandbox-shim. The container is now built fromapps/sandbox/image/Dockerfile: node 24 trixie, git 2.47, jq, bun 1.4 and the shim. About 420 MB against ~1 GB.alchemy.run.ts: builds from the Dockerfile and drops ther2BucketCredentialstoken and the S3 env vars.
