//! Sandbox-escape regression suite (§8.3, §15.2 accept-gate row). //! //! Each test attempts a known sandbox escape technique via the docker backend. //! The assertion is: harness exit ≠ 0 OR `SandboxOutcome.timed_out` OR //! `Err(SandboxError::BackendUnavailable)`. No test may produce //! `NYX_ESCAPE_SUCCESS` in stdout/stderr; the host marker file must remain //! absent. //! //! Tests skip automatically when docker is not available on the host //! (`docker info` fails). The `linux-with-docker` CI matrix row is the //! authoritative gate; `linux-without` and `macos` rows skip this suite. //! //!
