Auto-migrate legacy [run.sandbox] config files to named-environment syn… (#375)
## Summary

On startup, Fabro now detects confidently migratable pre-v1.0
`[run.sandbox]` config files and rewrites them in-place to the
`[run.environment]` + `[environments.default]` named-environment syntax.
The original file is preserved as a sibling
`*.legacy-sandbox-migration.bak` before any write. Unsupported or
ambiguous keys produce a targeted error listing exact key paths rather
than a generic TOML unknown-field failure.

### Plan Summary

- **New module** `legacy_sandbox_migration.rs` owns all detection,
rewriting, backup logic, and unsupported-key diagnostics — isolated so
it can be deleted before v1.0.
- **`load.rs` hook** catches parse failures on file loads and attempts
migration before re-raising the original error, leaving in-memory
`SettingsLayer` parsing strict and unchanged.
- **Field mappings** cover Daytona (snapshot, volumes, labels,
lifecycle, `auto_stop_interval`) and Docker (image, `memory_limit`,
`cpu_quota` divisible by 100 000, `skip_clone`).
- **Ambiguity guard** rejects files that already contain
`[run.environment]` or `[environments.default]` alongside
`[run.sandbox]`.
- **Docs** add a `<Warning>` block to `environments.mdx` and a new
`2026-05-23.mdx` changelog entry.

This PR also bundles two unrelated improvements that landed in the same
branch: additional sort keys (`repo`, `title`, `workflow`, `changes`)
for the runs list API and UI, and a test isolation fix in `user.rs` that
wraps path assertions in `with_var` to avoid `FABRO_HOME` leakage.

title: "Environments"
description: "Reusable named execution environments for workflow runs"
---
Fabro separates **environments** from **sandboxes**:
- An **environment** is reusable desired configuration: provider, image, resources, network, lifecycle, labels, volumes, and environment variables.
- A **sandbox** is the concrete runtime instance Fabro creates for a run from the selected environment.
<Warning>
Older pre-v1.0 config files that still use `[run.sandbox]` are temporarily auto-migrated when Fabro loads them from disk. Fabro writes a sibling `*.legacy-sandbox-migration.bak` file, rewrites the config to `[run.environment]` plus `[environments.default]`, and then continues startup.
This compatibility rewrite only handles direct field mappings. Unsupported legacy fields fail with a migration message that lists the keys to edit manually. The rewrite path will be removed before v1.0.
</Warning>
Runs select environments by slug:
```toml title="workflow.toml"
[run.environment]
id = "fabro-dev"
```
Environment catalogs can live in `settings.toml`, `.fabro/project.toml`, or `workflow.toml`, and merge through the normal settings precedence. The built-in default is `default`, a Docker environment using `buildpack-deps:noble`.
## Defining environments
```toml title="workflow.toml"
[run.environment]
id = "fabro-dev"
[environments.fabro-dev]
provider = "daytona" # local | docker | daytona
[environments.fabro-dev.image]
ref = "fabro-v11" # Docker image or Daytona snapshot name
dockerfile = { path = "Dockerfile" }
[environments.fabro-dev.resources]
cpu = 8
memory = "16GB"
disk = "20GB"
[environments.fabro-dev.network]
mode = "cidr_allow_list" # allow_all | block | cidr_allow_list
allow = ["10.0.0.0/8"]
[environments.fabro-dev.lifecycle]
preserve = false
stop_on_terminal = true
auto_stop = "30m"
[environments.fabro-dev.labels]
repo = "fabro-sh/fabro"
[[environments.fabro-dev.volumes]]
id = "vol-agent-state"
mount_path = "/home/daytona/agent-state"
subpath = "auth"
[environments.fabro-dev.env]
NODE_ENV = "development"
```
Run-level overrides are sparse and apply only to the selected environment:
```toml title="workflow.toml"
[run.environment]
id = "fabro-dev"
[run.environment.resources]
memory = "32GB"
[run.environment.lifecycle]
preserve = true
```
`env` and `labels` merge by key. `volumes` replace as a whole list when set at a higher-precedence layer.
## Selecting an environment from the CLI
Use `--environment` with an environment slug:
```bash
fabro run workflow.fabro --environment fabro-dev
fabro preflight workflow.fabro --environment ci
fabro server start --environment default
```
`--preserve-sandbox` still controls the concrete runtime instance lifecycle for a run. Runtime commands such as `fabro sandbox ssh` keep the word "sandbox" because they operate on an already-created runtime instance.
## Built-in default
```toml
[run.environment]
id = "default"
[environments.default]
provider = "docker"
[environments.default.image]
ref = "buildpack-deps:noble"
[environments.default.resources]
cpu = 2
memory = "4GB"
[environments.default.lifecycle]
preserve = false
stop_on_terminal = true
```
## Provider mappings
| Environment field | Local | Docker | Daytona |
|---|---|---|---|
| `image.ref` | Ignored | Docker image | Snapshot name |
| `image.dockerfile` | Ignored | Warning; ignored | Snapshot Dockerfile; requires `image.ref` |
| `resources.cpu` | Warning; ignored | `cpu_quota = cpu * 100000` | Snapshot CPU |
| `resources.memory` | Warning; ignored | Container memory limit | Snapshot memory |
| `resources.disk` | Warning; ignored | Warning; ignored | Snapshot disk |
| `network.mode = "allow_all"` | Host network | Docker default bridge | Daytona allow-all |
| `network.mode = "block"` | Error | Docker `none` network | Daytona block |
| `network.mode = "cidr_allow_list"` | Error | Error | Daytona CIDR allow-list |
| `labels` | Warning; ignored | Warning; ignored | Daytona labels |
| `volumes` | Warning; ignored | Warning; ignored | Daytona volume mounts |
| `lifecycle.auto_stop` | Warning; ignored | Warning; ignored | Daytona auto-stop |
| `env` | Process environment overlay | Container environment | Sandbox environment |
## Local
`local` runs tools directly in the resolved working directory. It offers no filesystem or network isolation, so use it only for trusted workflows.
```toml
[run.environment]
id = "host"
[environments.host]
provider = "local"
```
Fabro hard-errors if a local environment asks for blocked or CIDR-restricted networking because the provider cannot enforce it.
## Docker
Docker runs tools inside a container created from `image.ref`. Docker is the built-in default provider.
```toml
[run.environment]
id = "ci"
[environments.ci]
provider = "docker"
[environments.ci.image]
ref = "buildpack-deps:noble"
[environments.ci.resources]
cpu = 2
memory = "4GB"
[environments.ci.network]
mode = "block"
```
Docker and Daytona are clone-based providers. When a run has a GitHub origin, Fabro clones it into the provider workspace. Set `[run.clone] enabled = false` to start with an empty workspace.
## Daytona
Daytona runs tools in a cloud sandbox. `image.ref` is the snapshot name. If `image.dockerfile` is set and the snapshot does not exist, Fabro creates the snapshot; `image.ref` is required so the snapshot has a name.
```toml
[run.environment]
id = "cloud"
[environments.cloud]
provider = "daytona"
[environments.cloud.image]
ref = "rust-dev"
dockerfile = { path = "Dockerfile" }
[environments.cloud.resources]
cpu = 4
memory = "8GB"
disk = "20GB"
[environments.cloud.lifecycle]
auto_stop = "30m"
[environments.cloud.network]
mode = "cidr_allow_list"
allow = ["208.80.154.232/32", "10.0.0.0/8"]
```
Daytona volumes reference existing provider-managed volumes:
```toml
[[environments.cloud.volumes]]
id = "vol-agent-state"
mount_path = "/home/daytona/agent-state"
subpath = "agent-auth"
```
