Claude Code Sandbox Errors: Diagnosis and Safe Recovery

This article addresses errors encountered when using Claude Code's sandbox feature, specifically the "sandbox required but unavailable" message.

Instead, users should first diagnose the specific cause, such as the sandbox failing to start, a command being blocked within it, or a resume path encountering an unavailable sandbox. The full guide offers detailed steps and code examples to distinguish between strict blocking and fallback mechanisms, and to investigate version-specific bugs. AI
