Recommended action: Replace mount_dir='/host/dir' with volumes=['/host/dir:/workspace']. Option: Replace mount_dir='/host/dir' with volumes=['/host/dir:/workspace']. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Upgrading SDK scripts/examples that pass mount_dir Steps: 1. Change DockerWorkspace(mount_dir=X) to DockerWorkspace(volumes=[f'{X}:/workspace']) Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
