SDK: Add ensureServer() for automatic server recovery (#260)

* SDK sandbox provisioning: built-in providers, docs restructure, and quickstart overhaul

- Add built-in sandbox providers (local, docker, e2b, daytona, vercel, cloudflare) to the TypeScript SDK so users import directly instead of passing client instances
- Restructure docs: rename architecture to orchestration-architecture, add new architecture page for server overview, improve getting started flow
- Rewrite quickstart to be TypeScript-first with provider CodeGroup and custom provider accordion
- Update all examples to use new provider APIs
- Update persist drivers and foundry for new SDK surface

* Fix SDK typecheck errors and update persist drivers for insertEvent signature

- Fix insertEvent call in client.ts to pass sessionId as first argument
- Update Daytona provider create options to use Partial type (image has default)
- Update StrictUniqueSessionPersistDriver in tests to match new insertEvent signature
- Sync persist packages, openapi spec, and docs with upstream changes

* Add Modal and ComputeSDK built-in providers, update examples and docs

- Add `sandbox-agent/modal` provider using Modal SDK with node:22-slim image
- Add `sandbox-agent/computesdk` provider using ComputeSDK's unified sandbox API
- Update Modal and ComputeSDK examples to use new SDK providers
- Update Modal and ComputeSDK deploy docs with provider-based examples
- Add Modal to quickstart CodeGroup and docs.json navigation
- Add provider test entries for Modal and ComputeSDK
- Remove old standalone example files (modal.ts, computesdk.ts)

* Fix Modal provider: pre-install agents in image, fire-and-forget exec for server

- Pre-install agents in Dockerfile commands so they are cached across creates
- Use fire-and-forget exec (no wait) to keep server alive in Modal sandbox
- Add memoryMiB option (default 2GB) to avoid OOM during agent install

* Sync upstream changes: multiplayer docs, logos, openapi spec, foundry config

* SDK: Add ensureServer() for automatic server recovery

Add ensureServer() to SandboxProvider interface to handle cases where the
sandbox-agent server stops or goes to sleep. The SDK now calls this method
after 3 consecutive health-check failures, allowing providers to restart the
server if needed. Most built-in providers (E2B, Daytona, Vercel, Modal,
ComputeSDK) implement this. Docker and Cloudflare manage server lifecycle
differently, and Local uses managed child processes.

Also update docs for quickstart, architecture, multiplayer, and session
persistence; mark persist-* packages as deprecated; and add ensureServer
implementations to all applicable providers.

[ComputeSDK](https://computesdk.com) provides a unified interface for managing sandboxes across multiple providers. Write once, deploy anywhere—switch providers by changing environment variables.
[ComputeSDK](https://computesdk.com) provides a unified interface for managing sandboxes across multiple providers. Write once, deploy anywhere by changing environment variables.
## Prerequisites
- `COMPUTESDK_API_KEY` from [console.computesdk.com](https://console.computesdk.com)
- Provider API key (one of: `E2B_API_KEY`, `DAYTONA_API_KEY`, `VERCEL_TOKEN`, `MODAL_TOKEN_ID` + `MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET`, `BLAXEL_API_KEY`, `CSB_API_KEY`)
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `OPENAI_API_KEY` for the coding agents
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `OPENAI_API_KEY`
## TypeScript Example
## TypeScript example
```bash
npm install sandbox-agent@0.3.x computesdk

## Supported Providers
The `computesdk` provider handles sandbox creation, Sandbox Agent installation, agent setup, and server startup automatically. ComputeSDK routes to your configured provider behind the scenes.
Before calling `SandboxAgent.start()`, configure ComputeSDK with your provider:
```typescript
import { compute } from "computesdk";
compute.setConfig({
provider: "e2b", // or auto-detect via detectProvider()
computesdkApiKey: process.env.COMPUTESDK_API_KEY,
});
```
## Supported providers
ComputeSDK auto-detects your provider from environment variables:
@ -169,46 +70,7 @@ ComputeSDK auto-detects your provider from environment variables:
## Notes
- **Provider resolution order**: `COMPUTESDK_PROVIDER` env var takes priority, otherwise auto-detection from API keys.
- **Conditional agent installation**: Only agents with available API keys are installed, reducing setup time.
- **Command error handling**: The example validates exit codes and throws on failures for easier debugging.
- **Provider resolution**: Set `COMPUTESDK_PROVIDER` to force a specific provider, or let ComputeSDK auto-detect from API keys.
- `sandbox.runCommand(..., { background: true })` keeps the server running while your app continues.
- `sandbox.getUrl({ port })` returns a public URL for the sandbox port.
- Always destroy the sandbox when you are done to avoid leaking resources.
- If sandbox creation times out, set `COMPUTESDK_TIMEOUT_MS` to a higher value (default: 120000ms).
## Explicit Provider Selection
To force a specific provider instead of auto-detection, set the `COMPUTESDK_PROVIDER` environment variable:
```bash
export COMPUTESDK_PROVIDER=e2b
```
Or configure programmatically using `getProviderConfigFromEnv()`:
```typescript
import { compute, getProviderConfigFromEnv, type ExplicitComputeConfig } from "computesdk";
const config: ExplicitComputeConfig = {
provider: "e2b",
computesdkApiKey: process.env.COMPUTESDK_API_KEY,
requestTimeoutMs: 120_000,
};
// Automatically populate provider-specific config from environment
const providerConfig = getProviderConfigFromEnv("e2b");
if (Object.keys(providerConfig).length > 0) {
(config as any).e2b = providerConfig;
}
compute.setConfig(config);
```
## Direct Mode (No ComputeSDK API Key)
To bypass the ComputeSDK gateway and use provider SDKs directly, see the provider-specific examples:
- [E2B](/deploy/e2b)
- [Daytona](/deploy/daytona)
- [Vercel](/deploy/vercel)
- Always destroy the sandbox when done to avoid leaking resources.
