The Aperture chat sandbox gives the AI assistant a private, isolated Linux environment to run code, analyze data, and produce downloadable files during a chat conversation. Tailscale provisions and manages the infrastructure that runs it. Administrators turn it on through configuration. This hub organizes the sandbox documentation by task.
