What
A sandbox is a restricted space that limits what a command can reach, such as your files or the network. Claude Code tells the model about these limits through a note attached to the result of a tool call (an action the model takes, like running a command).
A new "sandboxed" note replaces the old sandboxed_failure note. It now appears on sandboxed commands in general, not only when they fail.
The note says whether the command was limited for both files and network (files_and_network) or for network only (network_only).
The first time in a conversation, the note is shown in a slightly different wording.
When a conversation is compacted (shortened by summarising it), the flag that records the note was already shown, toldOfSandbox, is reset, so the note can appear again.
The record kept for a compaction turn now also includes responseBeforeCompaction.
Why
The model is told about sandbox limits more consistently, including after compaction, so it is less likely to be surprised when a command cannot reach a file or the network.
