Documented steps

  1. Create a sandbox with sandbox-scoped envs: 'Sandbox.create(envs={"KEY": "value"})'.
  2. Or scope envs to a single call: 's.commands.run("echo $KEY", envs={"KEY":"value"})' or 's.run_code(code, envs={...})'.
  3. For a background command pass envs the same way and they apply to that process.
  4. Store the actual secret values in your own secret manager / .env and inject at runtime rather than hardcoding.
