---

- **added** — Add Sandbox.fork(...) to the SDK and sandbox fork <source> to the CLI for forking an existing sandbox into a new one
- **added** — Fork copies config parameters resources (vcpus), timeout, networkPolicy, tags, ports, persistent, snapshotExpiration, keepLastSnapshots and allows the caller to override any of them
- **removed** — Remove sandbox create --sandbox-snapshot <name> and Snapshot.fromSandbox(name), use sandbox fork <name> / Sandbox.fork({ sourceSandbox: name }) instead
- **changed** — Raw snapshot IDs are now supported via sandbox create --snapshot <id> and Sandbox.create({ source: { type: "snapshot", snapshotId } })

###### Minor Changes

-   Add `Sandbox.fork(...)` to the SDK and `sandbox fork <source>` to the CLI for forking an existing sandbox into a new one. The fork copies as many config parameters as the server exposes — `resources` (vcpus), `timeout`, `networkPolicy`, `tags`, `ports`, `persistent`, `snapshotExpiration`, `keepLastSnapshots` — and lets the caller override any of them. Environment variables are not copied (encrypted server-side) and must be re-supplied via `env` / `--env`. ([#205](https://github.com/vercel/sandbox/pull/205))

    **Breaking**: removed `sandbox create --sandbox-snapshot <name>` and `Snapshot.fromSandbox(name)`. Use `sandbox fork <name>` / `Sandbox.fork({ sourceSandbox: name })` instead. Raw snapshot IDs are still supported via `sandbox create --snapshot <id>` and `Sandbox.create({ source: { type: "snapshot", snapshotId } })`.
