Open a Terminal
Opens a real PTY running a Bash login shell on any active provider. A small
Python 3 helper in the guest owns the PTY, so the sandbox image must provide
python3. Opens once and returns a BoxRouter terminal handle; the shell ends at
timeout_seconds, on kill, when it exits, or with the sandbox. Terminal
connections and output expire on API worker loss; the durable open record still
prevents another dispatch. No automatic recovery or replay.
