How can an agent resolve this problem? [acpx / Cursor] RUNTIME Internal error when running cursor-composer exec inside Codex sandbox
## Observed symptom
RUNTIME Internal error when running cursor-composer exec inside Codex sandbox
Repro steps
1. In a Codex session configured with sandbox mode (workspace-write, writes limited to the workspace and /tmp), run:
acpx --verbose --format quiet cursor-composer exec 'What is the capital of France? Reply with just the city name.'
2. Observe the command fail with a runtime error when executed inside the sandbox.
Observed behavior
- The command fails with: "RUNTIME Internal error;"
- Retrying the same command as a one-time unsandboxed command returns the expected response (Paris).
Relevant context / logs

The sandbox is controlled by the Codex session, not by acpx. In this session it’s configured as workspace-write, with writes limited to the workspace and /tmp. I can

request a one-time unsandboxed command, which is why the retry worked.
To change the default, open Codex’s Settings → Security and adjust the sandbox mode for future sessions. The exact settings location can vary by Codex app or CLI version;
check the settings UI you use.
```
Hypothesis
- acpx initializes correctly inside the sandbox but Composer (cursor-composer exec path) fails with a runtime/internal error when executed under sandbox restrictions.
- The fact that the same command succeeds
