Make deployment honor Sandbox lifecycle state. Refuse ended or ending sessions and reject a live Sandbox whose owner, thread, or launch intent differs. Return stable provider error codes for callers that need to offer explicit recovery.

Validation: lifecycle-aware deployment, identity, and conflict regressions passed in the provider suite.

This layer exceeds 1,000 changed lines because the deploy state machine and its refusal cases share the same resource observations. Keeping them together avoids an intermediate deployment path that could reuse an incompatible live session.

Stack: layer 11 of 23. Base: #13. Next: #15. One signed commit per layer.

Final integrated checks passed: ACP/provider/reaper tests and Clippy; 3,451 native desktop tests (19 ignored); native Clippy; desktop TypeScript and lint; root security; and file-size checks. The frontend run passed 7,008 tests before the final type-only extraction and test formatting. Repository-wide just ci and GitHub CI are still running. No human runtime acceptance is claimed.

The fresh-deploy regression test also checks that the credential environment and Secret owner reference carry the exact initial Pod UID. The production-path test passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Sandbox deployment now validates session identity and lifecycle, configures checkpointing, binds credentials to the first controller Pod, and returns typed provider failures. A fake Kubernetes API server and tests cover resource conflicts, session reuse, refusal paths, and credential ownership.

Changes: Sandbox Sessions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sandbox contract and lifecycle checks crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes/src/sandbox.rs, crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes/src/sandbox_tests.rs, docs/remote-agents.md	Sandbox construction carries generation and checkpointing metadata. Lifecycle and identity checks distinguish ended, ending, unknown, non-running, deleted, replaced, and mismatched sessions. Documentation defines lifecycle handling, tombstones, cleanup, and stable refusal codes.
Session deployment and credential binding crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes/src/sandbox.rs, crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes/src/main.rs	Deployment computes a launch fingerprint, loads or creates a Sandbox, and validates identity and liveness. Creation rejects conflicting Pods. Binding records the first controller Pod UID and creates or validates immutable credentials. Typed reconciliation failures propagate to failed responses.
Typed provider failures crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes/src/wire.rs	Provider failures can carry stable snake_case refusal codes. Coded failures serialize their code, while uncoded failures omit it.
Fake API and deployment verification crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes/src/sandbox_fake.rs, crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes/src/sandbox_tests.rs, crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes/Cargo.toml	The in-memory API models Sandbox, Pod, and Secret requests, resource-version conflicts, Secret conversion, and Pod reconciliation. Tests verify checkpointing, ownership, session reuse, typed refusals, and unchanged state after rejection.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 14a4c

Deployment now refuses ended or mismatched Sandbox sessions with stable error codes, and it binds credentials to the first Pod. No concrete defect remains open in the reviewed changes, so the change appears ready to merge once the pending CI completes.

Assert both credential bindings to the initial Pod UID.

The test checks that INITIAL_POD is a string, but it does not compare that UID with BUZZ_SANDBOX_INITIAL_POD_UID or the Secret's Pod owner reference. Add both assertions to detect a regression in bind or bound_secret that drops or swaps the bound Pod UID.

🧪 Suggested assertion

     assert_eq!(
         secret_env(&state, "BUZZ_MANAGED_AGENT_START_NONCE"),
         [annotations[GENERATION].as_str().unwrap()]
     );
+    let initial = annotations[INITIAL_POD].as_str().unwrap();
+    assert_eq!(secret_env(&state, "BUZZ_SANDBOX_INITIAL_POD_UID"), [initial]);
+    let owners: Vec<String> = state
+        .lock()
+        .unwrap()
