What

Setting up an eval sandbox now records a separate operator config directory and writes its own shared git config, common-directory pointer and hooks directory, so evals do not read the surrounding machine's git setup. On macOS the sandbox uses prefixed temp paths under /tmp.

Details
  • the temp path layout differs by platform; the config and hooks setup is unconditional
Evidence

operatorConfigDir: He()

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