Recommended action: In test environments, configure the app's HTTP client without the private-network wrapper or with an explicit allowed subnet list; WebArena-Verified instead rewrites external URLs to http://localhost/ via a custom client. Option: Allow the needed subnets or bypass the wrapper in test environments [evidence: documented_workaround] Applies when: Sandboxed/self-hosted Symfony apps used as agent environments Steps: 1. Locate where the HTTP client is decorated with NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient (http_client.yaml or service config) 2. For test envs, pass an explicit subnets argument that excludes the local network, or use the undecorated client 3. Alternatively rewrite outbound URLs to an allowed internal endpoint (WebArena-Verified approach) Expected: Outbound fetches inside the sandbox succeed Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
