## Title

    [OpenAI Agents SDK Docker sandbox] 'Docker read-only host_path grants cannot be combined with in-container storage mounts that require SYS_ADMIN'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented safety check in the Docker backend.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-agents-python/61e98ab7bd0d993eed4c65bb8b68320075227417/src/agents/sandbox/sandboxes/docker.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): _validate_docker_path_grants raises this MountConfigError with the SYS_ADMIN remount rationale.
    
    Search phrasings: openai agents docker sandbox read-only host_path grants SYS_ADMIN; openai agents sandbox fuse mount host grant
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
