Make Docker sandbox the default runtime on GitHub-hosted runners #51252

Description

@lpcox

Summary

Use the Docker sandbox (docker sbx) as the default runtime when an agentic workflow runs on a GitHub-hosted runner.

Desired behavior

  • Detect execution on GitHub-hosted runners.
  • Default to the Docker sandbox runtime in that environment.
  • Preserve explicit runtime configuration as an override.
  • Keep the existing default behavior for non-GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners.

Acceptance criteria

  • Workflows running on GitHub-hosted runners use Docker sandbox by default.
  • An explicitly configured runtime continues to take precedence.
  • Self-hosted and local execution behavior remains unchanged.
  • Tests and user-facing documentation cover the new default.
