OpenShell Sandbox Provider

Docs reviewedWe read the code and docs, but haven’t run it ourselves.

Register an openshell sandbox driver for Paperclip environments. The provider creates an OpenShell sandbox from a named template or image, prepares the workspace, runs commands with live output, and stops or deletes sandboxes with verified cleanup.

Our take

You need the openshell CLI on the Paperclip server, with an authenticated gateway and a ready template or image. Policies and credentials live in OpenShell, not in this plugin. The maintainer says live testing of the optional duplex bridge isn’t finished.

What it does
