Script Execution Blocked in Sandbox
Problem
execute_code and python3 -c fail with "BLOCKED … single-query mode (-q)
runs without a user present to approve it". Plain terminal commands (grep,
ls, file, xxd) and file tools (read_file, write_file) still work.
Fix
- Do NOT retry both runners back-to-back: a real task burned two turns on
python3 -cthenexecute_codebefore falling back. - Compute small transforms manually from the files you read; write the deliverable with write_file; verify by re-reading it.
- Keep parsing/sorting simple enough to verify by hand.
Evidence
- Hit in 3/4 analyzed traces; all three recovered this way; the one failure was a spec-interpretation bug, not a tooling problem.
