Proposed fix: [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 f
Recommended action: Create a fresh session, or serialize session_state and resume with the new manifest.
Option: Create a fresh session, or serialize session_state and resume with the new manifest. [evidence: official_recommended_action]

Steps:
1. Don't inject a running session when capabilities change manifest fields
2. Use session_state resume flow
Expected: The error no longer appears.
