/sandbox command missing Mode/Overrides/Config tabs in native install

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 8, 2026 by axisrow Closed Mar 8, 2026

Description

After switching from npm installation to native install (claude install), the /sandbox command only shows the Dependencies tab (bubblewrap/socat/seccomp — all shown as installed). The Mode, Overrides, and Config tabs are missing/inaccessible, making it impossible to select or configure a sandbox mode.

With the npm-based installation, /sandbox worked correctly and displayed all tabs.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Claude Code via native install: claude install
  2. Open Claude Code
  3. Run /sandbox command
  4. Observe that only the Dependencies tab is visible

Expected Behavior

/sandbox should show all tabs: Dependencies, Mode, Overrides, Config — same as with npm installation.

Actual Behavior

Only the Dependencies tab is shown. All dependencies are listed as installed:

  • bubblewrap: installed
  • socat: installed
  • seccomp filter: installed

But no way to select sandbox mode or configure overrides.

Environment

  • OS: macOS 26.3.1 (Build 25D2128)
  • Claude Code version: v2.1.71 (native install via claude install)
  • Previous install method: npm (worked correctly)

Additional Context

The issue appeared specifically after switching from npm to native install. Rolling back to npm install resolves the issue.
