Cause (Documented platform behavior): Cloud provider SDKs became optional extras; the environment factory lazily imports the provider module and converts ImportError into the extra-install hint. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - pip install daytona into the project venv while harbor is a uv tool (separate environment) Other error fragments: - Or install all cloud environments with 'harbor[cloud]'. - package is required but not installed. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laude-institute/harbor/3c82380859d187957cfd5cd64802b076d9779550/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, 2026-04-15, documented_behavior): Cloud provider SDKs are now optional extras (daytona, e2b, modal, runloop, langsmith, gke, cloud); install the relevant extras explicitly. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laude-institute/harbor/3c82380859d187957cfd5cd64802b076d9779550/src/harbor/environments/factory.py (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): On ImportError of a provider module with pip_extra, raises ImportError("The '<env>' environment requires extra dependencies. Install them with: pip install 'harbor[<extra>]' / uv tool install 'harbor[<extra>]' Or install all cloud environments with 'harbor[cloud]'."). - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laude-institute/harbor/3c82380859d187957cfd5cd64802b076d9779550/src/harbor/utils/optional_import.py (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): MissingExtraError message: "The '<package>' package is required but not installed.

Problem details

Observed symptom
Cloud-sandbox jobs (Daytona/E2B/Modal/Runloop/LangSmith/GKE) fail at environment construction with an install hint; pip installing the SDK into the current venv does not help when Harbor runs as an isolated uv tool.
Context
Product: Harbor (Terminal-Bench harness) Component: EnvironmentFactory / optional_import Operation: harbor run --env daytona|e2b|modal|runloop|langsmith|gke after upgrading from a release that bundled cloud SDKs Affected versions: Harbor after the 2026-04-15 'Cloud Provider Dependencies Split Out' change Environment: Harbor installed via pip or 'uv tool install' Exception: ImportError Packages: harbor releases after 2026-04-15 changelog entry Trigger: Selecting a cloud --env without the matching harbor extra installed.

Recommended action: Install the extra into the same environment Harbor runs from: pip install 'harbor[daytona]' (venv) or uv tool install 'harbor[daytona]' (tool install); or harbor[cloud] for all providers. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
