Documented steps

  1. Persist the sandbox id somewhere durable: `sandbox.sandbox_id` (Python) / `sandbox.sandboxId` (JS).
  2. From a later, separate process: Python `sandbox = Sandbox.connect(sandbox_id)`; JS `const sandbox = await Sandbox.connect(sandbox_id)`.
  3. If the sandbox was paused, connect auto-resumes it.
  4. Resume work with `sandbox.commands.run(...)` and `sandbox.files.read(...)` as usual.
