v1.0.1

🚀 Announcing Agent Sandbox v1.0.1!

We're excited to announce the release of Agent Sandbox v1.0.1! This release introduces the foundational TypeScript SDK for sandbox resource management, adds a first-class OpenHands agent workspace integration, hardens SDK lifecycle teardown and pod resolution, refines testing benchmarks, and resolves key bugs across documentation, metrics, and examples.

Key Highlights

SDKs & Integrations

• TypeScript SDK Resource Layer (#976): Introduced the initial TypeScript client (agentic-sandbox-client) under clients/typescript/ for managing SandboxClaim lifecycles, watching sandbox readiness, and optional OpenTelemetry tracing.
• OpenHands Workspace Integration (#1488): Added AgentSandboxWorkspace, enabling the OpenHands agent SDK to bind to pre-warmed Agent Sandbox pods with sub-second startup latency, supporting direct pod IP access, sandbox-router mode, and pool-level authentication.
• Python SDK atexit Cleanup Fix (#1512): Switched AsyncSandboxClient process exit cleanup to a synchronous client to resolve an interpreter shutdown race condition that caused sandbox resource leaks.
• SDK Pod Name Fallback (#1467): Ensured Go and Python SDKs correctly fall back to the Sandbox name when the legacy agents.x-k8s.io/pod-name annotation is present but empty.

Testing & Reliability

• Runtime Burst Benchmarking Improvements (#1485): Refactored TestRuntimeClassBurstRecovery to provision fresh warm pools per iteration, eliminating stale controller expectations and classifying claim latency into clear Green (≤1s), Grey (>1s), and Cold zones.
• Accurate Metric Documentation (#1443): Corrected Prometheus metric HELP strings and label documentation across internal metrics collectors to match controller behavior.

Examples & Documentation

• Sandboxd Quickstart & Topologies (#1416): Added an end-to-end Go SDK quickstart for sandboxd along with dedicated runtime container and binary-injection deployment topology configurations.
• SandboxClaim Label-Domain Allowlist Docs (#1530): Documented the SandboxClaim.spec.additionalPodMetadata.labels allowlist and improved controller rejection error messages to reference the agent-sandbox-config ConfigMap.
• Command Governance Policy Example (#1456): Added an example demonstrating client-side command classification and pre-execution filtering before dispatching commands to a running sandbox.
• Sandboxed Tools Refactoring (#1482): Extracted the interactive sandboxed-tools agent loop into an importable pkg/agent package with a dedicated CLI.
• Gateway API Examples(#1331, #1471): Expanded Gateway API documentation beyond GKE to include Istio and other providers, and audited manifests, schemas, and instructions across the examples repository.
