# --- AI Assistant (instance-ai) ---
# HF Space containers are not privileged, so n8n's own bundled sandbox
# (n8n-sandbox, which needs a privileged Docker-in-Docker runner) cannot
# run here. Daytona is a managed/remote sandbox, so it's the only sandbox
# provider that works on this host — set these as HF Space *secrets*,
# never hardcode real keys into this file or a public repo.
