Subject: [PATCH 1/8] feat(sandbox): harden sandbox executor with proactive
 streaming, memory classification, legacy compat

Rewrite sandbox_executor.py per security specification:
- Proactive 64KB chunked stream reader for stdout+stderr
- Output limit detection stops reading, terminates process
- Timeout enforcement via SIGTERM->3s->SIGKILL escalation
- Memory exhaustion heuristics: SIGSEGV, MemoryError, RSS>=95%
- Platform guard: RLIMIT_AS only on Linux, graceful no-op elsewhere
- Cancellation guard ensures subprocess is never orphaned

Core Executor Adapter:
- _execute_command preserved: (cmd, timeout=None) -> (output, exit_code, violation_reason)
- SandboxConfig created from global settings internally
- Returns violation_reason string directly for terminated:* mapping

Models:
- SandboxViolation changed to Exception subclass (was BaseModel)

Tests:
- 16 tests: legacy timeout compat, signal escalation,
  memory classification, output truncation, cancellation safety,
  platform guard, normal completion, config resolution

Closes #326

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] fix(executor): restore legacy _execute_command(command,
 task_id, timeout=600) signature

Preserve original 3-parameter signature for backward compatibility.
task_id is accepted but only used for parameter compatibility;
SandboxConfig is created internally from the timeout parameter.

 upstream v2 compatibility

- Use upstream's sandbox_timeout / sandbox_memory_mb field names
- Add missing sandbox_max_output_bytes, sandbox_allow_network to config.py
- Update test mocks to return 3-tuple (output, exit_code, violation_reason)
- Resolve rebase conflicts with upstream risk-scoring code

Subject: [PATCH 4/8] test(sandbox): add blocking issues integration tests

- Add 10 comprehensive tests covering timeout, memory classification,
  output boundary precision, cancellation, and legacy compat
- Fix flaky exit_code != 0 assertion: exit may be 0 when Python
  finishes before termination signal arrives; output cap is the
  correctness criterion

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] fix(sandbox): restore live broadcasts, merge stderr, fix
 timeout/output/memory precision

- Add broadcast_callback to _read_stream and sandbox_execute so output
  chunks are forwarded to TaskExecutor._broadcast for live streaming
- Merge stderr into raw output in _execute_command before returning
- Apply timeout via external asyncio.wait_for in _execute_command
  (legacy-compatible pattern) instead of through SandboxConfig
- Add asyncio.Lock around shared byte accounting to prevent stdout/stderr
  reader races exceeding max_output_bytes
- Capture RSS baseline before subprocess and compute delta for memory
  classification (reliable per-process measurement)
- Add 10 comprehensive regression tests covering timeout (external +
  internal), memory (SIGSEGV, stderr strings, RSS heuristic, exit 137),
  output (lock race prevention, strict boundary), cancellation, and
  legacy timeout compatibility (default, explicit, None)

All 38 sandbox tests pass.
