Summary

Adds the sandbox-mcp-container-removal codemod so that gh aw fix --write can automatically remove the deprecated sandbox.mcp.container field from workflow frontmatter.

Problem

sandbox.mcp.container was previously user-configurable but is now an internal implementation detail managed by gh-aw. Workflows that set it explicitly fail in strict mode with:

strict mode: 'sandbox.mcp.container' is not allowed because it is an internal implementation detail

This affects 2/20 top-starred repos (126★ total), including github/gh-aw-mcpg (125★) and Exoshiva/gh-aw-firewall-AWF.

Changes

  • pkg/cli/codemod_sandbox_mcp_internal.go: Implements getSandboxMCPContainerRemovalCodemod() (and getSandboxMCPVersionRemovalCodemod()) — removes the sandbox.mcp.container key and cleans up empty parent blocks (mcp:, sandbox:) when they become empty after removal
  • pkg/cli/fix_codemods.go: Registers the codemod in GetAllCodemods() so it runs as part of gh aw fix --write
  • pkg/cli/codemod_sandbox_mcp_internal_test.go: Comprehensive unit tests covering removal, no-op cases, strict: false skip, sibling key preservation, and empty-parent cleanup
  • .changeset/patch-add-sandbox-mcp-container-removal-codemod.md: Changeset documenting the addition

Behavior

The codemod:

  • Removes only sandbox.mcp.container, leaving all sibling keys intact (e.g., sandbox.mcp.port)
  • Cleans up empty mcp: and sandbox: parent blocks after removal
  • Skips workflows with strict: false set
  • Is a no-op when sandbox.mcp.container is not present

Added the `sandbox-mcp-container-removal` codemod that automatically removes the deprecated `sandbox.mcp.container` field from workflow frontmatter. The MCP gateway container is now managed internally by gh-aw and cannot be configured by users in strict mode.
