Cannot capture a Daytona template without a setup sandbox…

Error message

Cannot capture a Daytona template without a setup sandbox lease.

What it means

Precondition check in onEnvironmentCaptureTemplate: template capture was requested without a providerLeaseId, meaning there is no active interactive-setup sandbox lease to snapshot. Daytona can only capture a template from a live setup sandbox, so capture-from-nothing is rejected before the activity gate.

Solutions

Start a setup sandbox lease before capturing a template.

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation
