For long-running or interactive commands, create the exec with `sandbox.execs.create(...)` and stream with `sandbox.execs.stream_output(id)`. Always wrap shell commands in `bash -c`. - Sandboxes have no DNS by default. Run `echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1" > /etc/resolv.conf` as your first exec or all network calls will fail. - Tools installed via pip land in `/root/.local/bin`, which is not on PATH.

For shell commands, always wrap with `bash -c`. - `sdk.sandboxes.create()` returns a `SandboxModel` (metadata). `sdk.sandboxes.start()` returns a connected `Sandbox` with exec and file access.
