Agent Diagnostic

When I ask my OpenClaw to download a file, it shows a sandbox mount error.

Agent-First Checklist

• I pointed my agent at the repo and had it investigate this issue
• I loaded relevant skills (e.g., debug-openshell-cluster, debug-inference, openshell-cli)
• My agent could not resolve this — the diagnostic above explains why

It will fail when there is an OpenShell Git repository in the directory.
