Windows sandbox helpers throw typed errors with reason codes

Windows sandbox failures now carry a reason code, though the message you see is unchanged.

What

Bare error throws in the Windows sandbox helper were replaced with a dedicated WindowsSandboxError carrying a machine-readable code, and for srt-win calls the subcommand as well.

Details
  • Codes include acl_grant_failed, srt_win_not_found, srt_win_timeout, srt_win_nonzero, spawn_failed, bin_shell_invalid, srt_win_bad_json, wfp_verify_bind_failed, wfp_verify_unparseable and acl_stamp_failed. None of these appear in 2.1.220.
  • Message text is unchanged, so what a user sees is the same; only the structure carried alongside it is new.
  • Separately, the helper that rewrites raw sandbox-runtime install advice into Claude Code advice now returns the message untouched when the platform is not Windows.
Evidence

bin_shell_invalid, acl_grant_failed

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
