Athena KaminskyandClaude Opus 5 affba1805c feat(chat): add run_snippet, an execution track beside the render track
render_preview validates markup and hands it to the browser, which renders it
in an opaque-origin sandboxed iframe. Nothing executes server-side. That model
fits HTML/SVG/JSX and cannot fit C, Rust or Erlang, which need a real
toolchain - so those get a second tool instead of a widened first one.

The split is the feature: the model picks a track by picking a tool, rather
than picking a `lang` value from an enum where half the entries run
server-side and half do not.

synapse/code_run.py compiles and runs one file in a throwaway directory and
returns a ```nexus-run fence carrying the source and its captured output
together, so a model cannot paste output without the code that produced it.
Backticks in the source are re-encoded as ` - still valid JSON, and it
cannot close the fence early.

It is not a sandbox, and the module docstring says so up front. What it gives
is containment by layers: consent (an action tool, gated by
action_tool_policy, per-call Approve/Deny on "ask"), static screening, a
scrubbed environment in a temp dir, wall-clock and POSIX rlimits, and a
network namespace on Linux where unprivileged userns are available. Screening
is a tripwire against a model reaching for `requests` out of habit, not a
boundary against an adversary; layers 1 and 3-5 are the load-bearing ones.

Backend RUN_LANGS and frontend run-langs.js are separate registries because
the two sides need different things - one executes, one labels - and neither
should depend on the other at runtime. tests/test_tools.py asserts the key
sets and the fence tag stay equal, so drift fails the gate instead of
rendering a run result under the wrong language.

tests/snippet_probes/ is a data catalog rather than inlined cases, so adding a
language is a data change and the meta-tests can assert every RUN_LANGS key
has both a smoke probe and a screening probe. Probes skip cleanly on hosts
without the toolchain.
