## Title

    [OpenAI Agents SDK sandbox] 'Running injected sandbox sessions do not support capability changes to `manifest.root`/`environment`/`users`; use a fresh session or a session_state resume flow.'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Live sessions can't be reconfigured in place; changes require a new session or resume from session_state.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - use a fresh session or a session_state resume flow.
