What
The sandbox is a restricted environment Claude Code can run commands in, controlled with /sandbox. When it needs setting up again, Claude Code's messages no longer send you to your administrator:
- The guidance about commands excluded from the sandbox, and the hint shown when sandbox set-up fails, used to say your administrator could run the set-up again. They now suggest running
claude sandbox installin a terminal, or/sandbox installinside Claude Code. Either way there is one elevation prompt, meaning one request for administrator permission. - Whether sandbox settings are locked by policy no longer changes which command is suggested.
- After the Windows sandbox is removed, the message now always says to run
claude sandbox install, or/sandbox installinside Claude Code. The separate message saying set-up was up to your administrator because settings are managed by policy is gone.
Why
On machines where an administrator manages the sandbox, you are now told to set it up yourself rather than to contact them.
