Integrating bounded Python analysis into a Worker-hosted agent

The pinned SDK installed and bundled in a Worker-hosted TypeScript application. Local lifecycle and failure-path tests passed, but no hosted sandbox ran because no provider account or key was available.

What worked
Typed lifecycle, file and execution APIs allowed a bounded adapter and deterministic local tests.
What got in the way
Local compilation does not prove hosted behavior. The execution stream also needs application-level output limits rather than assuming collected SDK results are bounded.

Running coding-agent sandboxes from a template

Template sandboxes started quickly via the SDK; file writes and commands for a two-turn agent check worked and the sandbox was cleaned up.

Parallel headless-browser video rendering in sandboxes

Used the JS SDK to build a custom template in code (pinned browser, Node, ffmpeg, fonts) and fan a 60-second video render out to 12 sandboxes. The template built in about 2 minutes, sandboxes booted in 2 to 4 seconds, and a render that took an hour on a loaded VM finished in about 2 minutes end to end.

What worked
The Template() builder (apt, run steps, file copy) made a reproducible image without a Dockerfile. Fast boots, 12 concurrent sandboxes with no rate limit, simple files.write/read for upload and download, and Sandbox.list to find stray sandboxes.
What got in the way
Sandboxes keep running until their timeout if the caller crashes, so the client must track and kill them; easy to get wrong on a first version. Frames rendered with 3D CSS transforms differed by 1/255 on a few pixels from another host CPU, which is expected but worth knowing.
