Command execution exposes ChangesSandbox execution and attachment
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to The change adds a no-login-shell execution mode and propagates it across the server, supervisor, CLI, and SDKs, but current behavior can still silently fall back to login-shell execution, duplicate or leak attached output tasks, report success after failures, or override an explicit non-TTY request. These bounded correctness and execution-semantics risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 330-334: Update the command-execution wording in
architecture/sandbox.md lines 330-334 and docs/sandboxes/manage-sandboxes.mdx
lines 198-206: state that bash -lc reads the first available .bash_profile,
.bash_login, or .profile, and that .bashrc is read only if the selected login
file sources it. Qualify the bash -c no-login behavior to note that BASH_ENV is
still read when set in the child environment.
In `@crates/openshell-supervisor-process/src/ssh.rs`:
- Around line 543-553: Update the environment-handling logic in the SSH channel
method so state.no_login_shell is assigned from variable_value compared with
NO_LOGIN_SHELL_ENV.1, rather than comparing variable_name. Add standard and
interactive regression tests covering --no-login-shell and verifying the login
startup-file marker is absent.

Summary
sandbox execalways ran commands through a login shell (bash -lc), so sandbox-user startup files (.profile,.bash_profile,.bashrc) were sourced before the requested command — letting them alter its output, create files, or block it, which madeexecunsuitable as a trusted execution boundary for automation and managed checks. This adds an opt-out (--no-login-shell/no_login_shell) that runs the command without sourcing those files, while the login-shell default is preserved for existing callers.Related Issue
