Clone from snapshot

[haydenbleasel]

This pull request updates the sandbox setup and dependency installation steps to leverage a pre-configured snapshot, streamlining the environment initialization process and reducing redundant configuration. The main improvements are the switch to a snapshot-based sandbox, removal of manual Git and global tool setup, and simplification of dependency installation.

Sandbox initialization improvements:

• The create-sandbox.ts step now uses a pre-configured snapshot for environment setup, eliminating the need for manual Git user configuration and global tool installation. The repository is cloned using the authenticated URL after snapshot creation.

Git configuration simplification:

• The configure-git.ts step removes manual configuration of user.name, user.email, and core.hooksPath, as these are already set in the snapshot. Only the remote URL is updated per run. [1] [2]

Dependency installation simplification:

• The install-dependencies.ts step removes installation of global tools (ni, claude-code, and package managers), as these are pre-installed in the snapshot. Now, only project dependencies are installed using ni.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes the sandbox bootstrap path (snapshot + manual clone) and git/dep setup used by automated workflows; failures would break PR review/lint automation though scope is contained to sandbox orchestration.

Overview
Switches linting/PR-review workflows to create sandboxes from a pre-baked snapshot, then explicitly git clone the target repo into the sandbox instead of having Sandbox.create pull from Git.

Simplifies per-run setup by removing global tool installation from installDependencies and dropping git user configuration from configureGit (now just sets authenticated origin and forces local hooks off). Docs are updated to describe the snapshot environment, and the lockfile bumps the CLI/docs toolchain versions.
