## Title

    [E2B SDK] Resuming/connecting to a paused sandbox: 'Paused sandbox <id> not found' (404)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): POST /v2/sandboxes/{id}/connect returning 404 is mapped to SandboxNotFoundError with this message.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Read from the E2B JS SDK source at the cited commit; not reproduced in this session.
    - Retention period of paused sandboxes not stated in source.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/e2b-dev/E2B/ccaf9fc0ffe6ac39c7ec786af7608ab1de19467b/packages/js-sdk/src/sandbox/sandboxApi.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): connect maps a 404 to SandboxNotFoundError("Paused sandbox ${sandboxId} not found").
    
    Search phrasings: E2B Paused sandbox not found; E2B connect paused sandbox 404; e2b resume sandbox not found
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
