Documented steps

  1. Create a sandbox: `sandbox = Sandbox.create()` in Python or `await Sandbox.create()` in JS/TS.
  2. Write a single file: Python `sandbox.files.write('/path/file', 'content')`; JS `await sandbox.files.write('/path/file', 'content')`.
  3. Write several files at once: Python `sandbox.files.write_files([{'path':'/a','data':'x'}, {'path':'/b','data':'y'}])`; JS `await sandbox.files.write([{path, data}, ...])`.
  4. Read a file: `sandbox.files.read('/path/file')` (Python) / `await sandbox.files.read(...)` (JS).
  5. List a directory with `sandbox.files.list('/')`; remove files with the remove method.
