"""Tests for the sandbox-mirror write guard in agent/file_safety.
The guard fires when a tool tries to write into the per-task mirror
directory created by a non-local terminal backend (Docker, Daytona, etc.).
Those paths look like ``…/sandboxes/<backend>/<task>/home/.hermes/…`` and
they accumulate divergent copies of authoritative profile state (SOUL.md,
config.yaml, memories/*.md) because the host Hermes process never reads
them. Soft guard — defense in depth, NOT a security boundary.
Reference: #32049 — under ``terminal.backend: docker``, the agent's
``write_file`` / ``patch`` calls landed on the sandbox mirror of SOUL.md
while the host process kept loading the untouched authoritative file.
The agent reported success; the rule never took effect.
