Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - Sandbox execution requires `run_config.sandbox.options` when creating a session Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-agents-python/61e98ab7bd0d993eed4c65bb8b68320075227417/src/agents/sandbox/runtime_session_manager.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): _resolve_client and session creation raise these ValueErrors.
