e2b.WithAutoRecreate(true) replaces an executor-owned sandbox after the management API confirms that the instance is gone or terminal. After the executor switches to the replacement, the triggering tool error tells the agent to check the required files and runtime environment before continuing. The failed operation is not replayed. Later calls use the new instance, where the workspace registry reinitializes managed workspaces.
Why
After an E2B sandbox expires, later calls keep targeting the dead instance until the application recreates the executor. The management check distinguishes sandbox loss from a transient execution failure. The tool error lets the agent verify what is available before continuing, including files on persistent storage.
Testing
Root build and test suite, the independent test module, and targeted race tests for E2B, workspace tools, tool retry, the tool-result processor, and graph execution passed.
Local regressions cover the notice in the original workspace_exec error with tool retries enabled, failed or discarded replacements, stale workspace handles, and stable connection settings across recreation.
Earlier live validation on an E2B-compatible backend verified replacement after both an interpreter HTTP 502 and a native-process HTTP 404. The next call succeeded and initialized the new workspace. The agent notice was validated with local mocks.
Notes for reviewers
The option defaults to off and cannot be combined with WithSandboxID. The executor creates a fresh instance using the original configuration. Files on persistent storage can still be available when the replacement mounts the same storage.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
e2b.WithAutoRecreate(true) enables on-demand replacement of an executor-owned sandbox. The executor checks the management API only after specific execution errors could indicate sandbox loss. It replaces the sandbox only when the API confirms that it is missing or terminal. The failed operation is not replayed. Later calls use the replacement, and managed workspaces are rebuilt for it.
Public API and compatibility
Adds e2b.WithAutoRecreate(enabled bool) Option. It defaults to false. The constructor rejects combining it with WithSandboxID. Pause prevents replacement.
Adds StatusCode int to TimeoutError in the internal codeinterpreter package. External modules cannot import that package.
With the option disabled, callers retain the existing behavior. Sandbox() and SandboxID() return snapshots; callers must reacquire them after replacement.
Review whether the option belongs in the E2B package and whether its name clearly communicates its scope. Check for overlap with other lifecycle options. Decide how future recovery triggers and policies can extend the API. Confirm that documentation covers ownership, trigger conditions, snapshot behavior, and retry safety. Check compatibility for in-module callers that inspect TimeoutError.
Behavioral and operational risks
A possible-loss error triggers a management API check; an inconclusive check does not authorize replacement.
The replacement has fresh filesystem and interpreter state. It does not restore files, processes, or temporary data. Old-generation workspace handles may be stale.
The failed operation is not replayed, but it may have caused side effects. Retry only when codeexecutor.IsWorkspaceRetrySafe(err) returns true.
Concurrent callers share a recreation attempt. Close or Pause can prevent publication. A failed close can be retried.
Recommended validation
Run GOWORK=off go test -race -count=1 -timeout 180s ./codeexecutor/e2b/... ./codeexecutor/ ./tool/workspaceexec/ ./tool/skill/.
Run GOWORK=off CGO_ENABLED=1 go build ./... and git diff --check.

Summary
Recovery configuration and coordination codeexecutor/e2b/e2b.go, codeexecutor/e2b/lifecycle.go, codeexecutor/e2b/internal/codeinterpreter/*, codeexecutor/e2b/recreate_test.go
Adds WithAutoRecreate, rejects its use with WithSandboxID, and coordinates recovery after eligible errors and management confirmation. HTTP 502 and 504 timeout errors now carry their status codes. Tests cover recovery eligibility, exclusions, and replacement behavior.
Snapshot-based execution and workspaces codeexecutor/e2b/e2b.go, codeexecutor/e2b/workspace_runtime.go, codeexecutor/e2b/recreate_test.go
Execution and workspace operations use sandbox snapshots. Workspace paths include the sandbox generation, and old handles are rejected after replacement. Tests cover non-replay, workspace rebuilding, and stale handles.
Close, pause, and lifecycle validation codeexecutor/e2b/e2b.go, codeexecutor/e2b/recreate_test.go, docs/mkdocs/{en,zh}/codeexecutor.md
Close and pause coordinate with in-progress recovery. Tests cover concurrent lifecycle calls, cancellation, and cleanup of unpublished replacements. English and Chinese documentation describe recovery behavior and its limits.
Recovery can let skill preparation retry after a metadata-read failure that should have stopped the attempt. The issue is bounded but should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Explanation
[#2737] WithAutoRecreate is opt-in and construction rejects its use with WithSandboxID. The executor confirms sandbox loss through GetInfo before replacing an owned sandbox. The triggering operation is not replayed, and observeLoss preserves its error. Replacement advances the generation, so later calls use the new sandbox and workspace handles from the prior generation are stale. The PR summary reports regression tests for confirmation, non-replay, workspace rebuilding, and lifecycle races.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states that e2b.WithAutoRecreate(true) replaces an executor-owned E2B sandbox after the management API confirms it is gone or terminal, and it covers the non-replay behavior, the default-off option, the WithSandboxID conflict, testing performed, and the linked issue. It is directly related to the changeset, so the check passes.

Preserve retry-unsafe metadata read errors.
If a metadata read triggers sandbox replacement, the fallback discards the original error and ErrWorkspaceRetryUnsafe. A host input can then return standalone ErrWorkspaceStale, causing skill_run to retry preparation and proceed instead of reporting the failed read. Preserve the error while retaining the missing-metadata fallback.

loadWorkspaceMetadata now propagates errors matching ErrWorkspaceRetryUnsafe, preserving the original error chain instead of letting a later stale workspace error authorize a retry. Ordinary missing-metadata fallback remains supported.
Two StageInputs regressions cover a metadata read that triggers sandbox replacement and a missing metadata file in a live sandbox. The recovery case failed before the fix and now passes. The E2B, codeexecutor, workspace_exec and skill suites passed with -race -p 1; the full root suite, root build, targeted vet and independent E2E tests also passed.
## What changed
Add opt-in `e2b.WithMaxProgramTimeout` so an application can set an
executor-level ceiling for workspace commands. With a 10-second cap, a
model-requested `timeout_sec: 60` is limited to 10 seconds, while
`timeout_sec: 5` remains 5 seconds. The limit covers direct `RunProgram`
calls, Engine callers and `workspace_exec`.
## Why
A platform integration exposed a gap between application configuration
and model-selected tool arguments. The application configured
`WithExecutionTimeout(10*time.Second)`, but the model called
`workspace_exec` with `timeout_sec: 60`, and a command that took 20
seconds completed successfully.
These settings govern different execution paths: `ExecuteCode` uses Code
Interpreter, where `WithExecutionTimeout` bounds response-body waiting;
workspace commands use native envd processes and take their timeout from
`RunProgramSpec.Timeout`. The interpreter setting therefore does not
provide a command execution ceiling.
Applications need to keep per-call timeout selection while preventing
callers from extending an application-defined maximum. Enforcing that
maximum in the shared E2B runtime covers both tool and direct callers,
including tools automatically registered by LLMAgent, without
introducing agent-level configuration. A separate opt-in option
preserves the existing interpreter contract and program defaults.
Fixes#2739
## Testing
- `GOWORK=off CGO_ENABLED=1 TMPDIR=/private/tmp go test -race -p 1
-count=1 -timeout=180s ./codeexecutor/e2b/... ./codeexecutor/
./tool/workspaceexec/ ./tool/skill/`
- Full root suite passed with `GOWORK=off CGO_ENABLED=1
TMPDIR=/private/tmp go test -p 2 -count=1 -timeout=240s ./...`. Root
build, targeted vet, formatting/import checks and `git diff --check`
passed; independent `test` module tests passed with CGO enabled.
- RPC-header regressions cover direct, Engine and tool timeouts.
`StageInputs` retains the 60-second deadlines for metadata commit and
failure cleanup, while a subsequent Engine command remains capped at 10
seconds. The metadata assertions failed before the fix and pass
afterward.
- A temporary combined tree with #2738 merged without conflicts and
passed race-enabled checks for timeout caps after recreation, metadata
deadlines, retry-unsafe errors and construction-time configuration
snapshots.
- The first race run hit a timeout in the unchanged
`TestRunDrainsOutputWhileSendingInitialStdin`; three isolated
repetitions and the complete race rerun passed. Local `golangci-lint` is
unavailable. No live cloud retest was performed.
## Notes for reviewers
The cap is disabled by default and by non-positive values. It is applied
after the invocation's existing default is resolved, so increasing the
cap never increases that default. `ExecuteCode`, workspace
file-operation deadlines and sandbox lifetime retain their existing
behavior. Metadata commit and temporary-file cleanup use their own
operation deadlines through a shared private execution helper.

[P2] Preserve retry safety when a compound operation rebinds its workspace
With WithAutoRecreate(true), this check can run after an outer operation has already submitted work. StageInputs binds a snapshot at entry, but a nested PutDirectory calls bindContext again, and this function reads the current sandbox instead of the snapshot already in the context.
I reproduced this on 6056df1: stage a workspace:// input followed by a host:// input; after the first copy is submitted, have another executor call confirm sandbox loss and publish a replacement before the second input is staged. The nested binding returns only ErrWorkspaceStale, so IsWorkspaceRetrySafe(err) is true, even though this StageInputs call already submitted the first copy. A caller following the documented retry helper can therefore replay already-submitted steps.
Please preserve the outer operation's bound generation across nested calls, or include ErrWorkspaceRetryUnsafe when rotation is detected after the compound operation has submitted work. Add regressions for rotation between inputs and between metadata staging and its RunProgram commit.
