## Highlights

125-
- **One-shot or warm workspaces.** `crabbox run` for fire-and-forget; `crabbox warmup` + `--id` for repeated runs against the same box.
126-
- **Named repo jobs.** `crabbox job run <name>` lets repos define warmup, optional Actions hydration, run command, and cleanup policy in `.crabbox.yaml`.
127-
- **Run observability.** Every coordinator-backed run gets an early `run_...` handle. Use `crabbox attach <run-id>` while it is active, `crabbox events <run-id> --after <seq> --limit <n>` for durable lifecycle/output events, and `crabbox logs <run-id>` for retained output after completion.
125+
- **One-shot or warm workspaces.** `crabbox run` for fire-and-forget; `crabbox warmup` + `--id` for repeated runs against the same box. See [warmup](docs/commands/warmup.md) and [run](docs/commands/run.md).
126+
- **Named repo jobs.** `crabbox job run <name>` lets repos define warmup, optional Actions hydration, run command, and cleanup policy in `.crabbox.yaml`. See [Jobs](docs/features/jobs.md).
127+
- **Run observability.** Every coordinator-backed run gets an early `run_...` handle. Use `crabbox attach <run-id>` while it is active, `crabbox events <run-id> --after <seq> --limit <n>` for durable lifecycle/output events, and `crabbox logs <run-id>` for retained output after completion. See [History and logs](docs/features/history-logs.md) and [Observability](docs/observability.md).
128128
- **Stable timing records.** `--timing-json` on `run`, `warmup`, and `actions hydrate` gives scripts one machine-readable sync/command/total timing schema across AWS, Hetzner, and Blacksmith Testboxes.
129-
- **Local-first workspace sync.** No clean-checkout requirement. Tracked + nonignored files only, fingerprint skip on no-op runs, sanity checks against suspicious mass deletions, optional shallow base-ref hydration for changed-test workflows.
130-
- **Brokered cloud.** Maintainers and agents share infra without sharing provider tokens. Hetzner, AWS EC2, Azure, and Google Cloud are managed providers; AWS owns EC2 Mac targets. Linux defaults to Spot unless capacity config says otherwise. Providers fall back across compatible instance families when capacity or quota rejects a request.
131-
- **Azure Linux and Windows.** `provider: azure` provisions Linux, native Windows, and Windows WSL2 VMs in a configurable Azure subscription using `DefaultAzureCredential` in direct mode or service-principal secrets in the broker. Crabbox creates a shared resource group, vnet, subnet, and NSG on first use, then per-lease public IPs, NICs, and VMs. Linux uses cloud-init; Windows uses VM Agent Custom Script Extension to install OpenSSH/Git and configure the Crabbox user, with optional post-SSH desktop/VNC or WSL2 bootstrap.
132-
- **macOS and Windows static hosts.** `provider: ssh` reuses existing machines; it does not create macOS or Windows Crabbox boxes. macOS and Windows WSL2 use the POSIX rsync path; native Windows uses PowerShell plus tar archive sync.
133-
- **Blacksmith Testbox wrapper.** Set `provider: blacksmith-testbox` to delegate warmup/run/list/status/stop to the Blacksmith CLI while Crabbox keeps local slugs, repo claims, timing summaries, config conventions, and portal visibility for active external runners.
134-
- **Namespace Devbox SSH leases.** Set `provider: namespace-devbox` to create or reuse Namespace Devboxes through the `devbox` CLI, then let Crabbox sync the dirty checkout and run commands over SSH.
135-
- **Semaphore CI testbox.** Set `provider: semaphore` to lease a Semaphore CI job as a testbox. Same environment as your real pipelines.
136-
- **Proxmox VM clones.** Set `provider: proxmox` to clone Linux QEMU templates on a private Proxmox VE cluster, bootstrap them through the QEMU guest agent, and use normal Crabbox SSH sync/run/cleanup.
137-
- **Sprites SSH leases.** Set `provider: sprites` to create a Sprites microVM, bootstrap OpenSSH inside it, and let Crabbox sync/run through `sprite proxy` with `crabbox ssh` support.
129+
- **Local-first workspace sync.** No clean-checkout requirement. Tracked + nonignored files only, fingerprint skip on no-op runs, sanity checks against suspicious mass deletions, optional shallow base-ref hydration for changed-test workflows. See [Sync](docs/features/sync.md).

Linux defaults to Spot unless capacity config says otherwise. Providers fall back across compatible instance families when capacity or quota rejects a request.

- **Blacksmith Testbox wrapper.** Set `provider: blacksmith-testbox` to delegate warmup/run/list/status/stop to the Blacksmith CLI while Crabbox keeps local slugs, repo claims, timing summaries, config conventions, and portal visibility for active external runners. See [Blacksmith Testbox](docs/providers/blacksmith-testbox.md).

139139
SDK/toolbox execution from a snapshot with explicit SSH access when needed,
140140
`provider: islo` for delegated Islo sandbox execution through the Islo Go SDK,
141141
`provider: e2b` for delegated E2B sandbox execution through E2B sandbox APIs,
142142
`provider: modal` for Modal Sandbox execution through the local Python client,
143143
or `provider: tensorlake` for Tensorlake Firecracker sandbox execution through
144-
the Tensorlake CLI.
145-
- **Cloudflare.** Set `provider: cloudflare` for delegated execution through a Worker runner and custom container image.
146-
- **Trusted AWS images.** Operators can create AMIs from active brokered AWS leases and promote a known-good image as the coordinator default.
147-
- **Cost guardrails.** Per-lease and monthly spend caps. Live pricing from EC2 Spot history or Hetzner server-type prices, with static fallbacks. `crabbox usage` summarizes spend by user, org, provider, and type.
148-
- **GitHub Actions hydration.** `crabbox actions hydrate` registers a leased box as an ephemeral Actions runner, so the repo's own workflow installs runtimes, services, and secrets. Crabbox does not parse Actions YAML.
149-
- **Interactive desktop and browser leases.** `--browser` provisions Chrome or Chromium for headless automation, `--desktop` provisions visible UI with tunnel-only VNC takeover on managed Linux, native Windows on AWS or Azure, and AWS EC2 Mac targets. `crabbox desktop doctor` checks session, VNC, input tooling, browser, ffmpeg, screen size, screenshot capture, and WebVNC portal state; `desktop click/paste/type/key` provide first-class input helpers so agents do not hand-roll brittle `xdotool` snippets. `desktop proof` launches a terminal smoke and captures metadata, screenshot, diagnostics, MP4, and a contact-sheet PNG in one bundle that can be published to a PR; MP4 capture is Linux/native Windows only for now. QA systems such as Mantis own scenario logic, screenshots, and PR evidence. Windows WSL2 is for POSIX sync/run/actions hydration, not a separate VNC desktop; existing Windows hosts belong on `provider: ssh`.
150-
- **Authenticated web portal.** Browser login opens owner-scoped and explicitly shared lease/run views with searchable, paginated tables, muted external-runner rows, compact provider/OS/access icons, relative sortable times, recent run logs/events, WebVNC, code-server, and Linux lease/run telemetry charts. `crabbox share` can grant a lease to one user or the owning org, and the lease page exposes the same sharing controls for owners/managers. WebVNC is preferred for human demos because it preloads the VNC password; `webvnc status` reports local daemon, tunnel, target reachability, bridge/viewer state, recent events, URL/password, and native VNC fallback, while `webvnc reset` restarts only the selected lease's WebVNC/input stack. Admin sessions can also see non-owned runner leases behind `mine`/`system` filters.
151-
- **Agent workspace evidence.** History, logs, events, telemetry, JUnit summaries, screenshots, recordings, artifacts, and PR publishing make autonomous work reviewable instead of only ephemeral terminal output.
152-
- **Hardened coordinator auth.** GitHub browser login, owner-scoped leases, admin-only routes, optional GitHub team allowlists, Cloudflare Access JWT verification, and service-token support keep normal use and operator automation separate.
153-
- **OpenClaw plugin.** The repo root is a native OpenClaw plugin for box lifecycle operations: `crabbox_run`, `crabbox_warmup`, `crabbox_status`, `crabbox_list`, and `crabbox_stop`. Run inspection stays in the CLI and Crabbox skill.
154-
- **Operator surface.** `doctor`, `init`, `status`, `inspect`, `list`, `usage`, `history`, `logs`, `results`, `cache`, `admin`, `cleanup`, plus `--json` output where it matters. Brokered `doctor` checks provider secret readiness before users discover missing Worker config through a failed lease.
