Conversation
In Helix-in-Helix mode, the sandbox runs on the host Docker socket
with a different container name (helix-inner-sandbox-${USER}).
Changes:
- Add sandbox_docker() helper function to use correct Docker host
- Use SANDBOX_CONTAINER_NAME variable for the correct container name
- Check for sandbox existence on host Docker in Helix-in-Helix mode
- Use sandbox_docker for all docker exec commands targeting sandbox
This fixes "No such container: helix-sandbox-nvidia-1" errors when
running ./stack build-ubuntu or build-sway in Helix-in-Helix mode.
