A tree of files and directories the agent reads from, writes to, and executes within — the default kind of environment for a coding agent.

"Why isn't it picking up my AGENTS.md?"
"It's running against a different filesystem — the sandbox mounted the parent dir, not the project root. Repoint the harness."
