From 6d125526d0ce1d859a9836322a5b59e3be3b997e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes du Plessis Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 16:08:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hotfix: stop prompting agent/reviewer to wrap installs in sfw (#1625) Installs hung when prefixed with sfw inside the sandbox (trace 019f0608 stalled on a pending `sfw npm install` execute, never returned). Strip the Socket Firewall guidance from the agent and reviewer prompts so installs run through the project's package manager directly. sfw stays in the Docker image; nothing invokes it now.
