Daytona SSH access did not return a token or SSH command.

Error message

Daytona SSH access did not return a token or SSH command.

What it means

Response-shape guard in createSshConnection: createSshAccess succeeded but returned neither a non-empty token nor a usable SSH command (checked via access.command / access.sshCommand). Without both, the connection payload handed to the user for interactive setup would be unusable, so the session is refused rather than returned half-formed.

Solutions

  1. Retry createSshAccess; verify the Daytona account/sandbox supports SSH access.

Strategy: validation
