Make the Box sandbox runtime optional. When ``box.enabled`` is false in
config (or when an enabled Box fails to connect), every dependent feature
degrades to the same disabled-state UX rather than crashing or silently
falling back to less safe code paths.
Backend:
- config.yaml: new top-level ``box.enabled: true`` flag (default true)
- BoxService:
- Read box.enabled on construction
- initialize() short-circuits when disabled — no remote WS connect, no
stdio subprocess fork
- _on_runtime_disconnect is a no-op when disabled (no reconnect loop
on a deliberately-off service)
- get_status() now exposes ``enabled`` so the frontend can tell
"disabled in config" from "configured but failed"
- MCP stdio loader (mcp_stdio.uses_box_stdio): requires box_service to
be available, not just installed
- MCP _init_stdio_python_server: when ap.box_service exists but is
unavailable, refuse the stdio server with an actionable error instead
of silently falling through to host-stdio (which bypasses the sandbox
the operator asked for). Setups without ap.box_service installed at
all keep the legacy host-stdio fallback for pre-Box dev mode
- SkillService._require_box_for_write: refuses create/update/install/
write_skill_file when ap.box_service is installed but unavailable.
Distinguishes disabled vs failed in the error message so the UI can
surface the right hint. Legacy setups (no ap.box_service) keep the
local fallback path — that distinction is what keeps the existing
local-skills tests valid
Tests:
- Box disabled-state behavior (4 cases)
- Skill write refusal in disabled & failed states (7 cases)
- MCP stdio runtime info policy updated to match new refuse-when-down
behavior
