[Bug]: Shell execution fails with "sandbox child timed out" for every command on Windows 11 (v0.11.18) #939

Description

@Loramarketing

Platform

Windows

Wayland Version

v0.11.18

Bug Description

Wayland cannot execute any shell command.

Every command (including a simple echo ok) fails with:

Failed to execute command: sandbox child timed out

After four retries, Wayland displays the "Stopped a runaway loop" dialog.

Because the execution environment never starts, shell-based features such as Office rendering cannot run.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Wayland v0.11.18 on Windows 11 Pro.
  2. Create a brand-new empty project.
  3. Send:

echo ok

  1. Observe the result.

Expected Behavior

The command executes successfully and returns:

ok

Actual Behavior

Every shell command fails with:

Failed to execute command: sandbox child timed out

Wayland retries four times and then displays the "Stopped a runaway loop" dialog.

The same behavior occurs in a brand-new empty project.

Additional Context

Environment

  • Windows 11 Pro
  • Wayland v0.11.18
  • Installed using the official Windows installer

Diagnostics already performed

  • Rebooted Windows
  • Restarted Wayland
  • Created a brand-new empty project
  • Same behavior in every project
  • Windows Defender Protection History shows no blocks
  • Controlled Folder Access is OFF
  • Node.js is installed and working
  • npm is installed and working

Verified:

where node
-> C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe

where npm
-> C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm
-> C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd

The bundled Bun runtime also executes normally outside Wayland:

"C:\Program Files\Wayland\resources\bundled-bun\win32-x64\bun.exe" --version

Output:

1.3.14

The Wayland installation appears complete, including:

  • bundled-bun
  • bundled-wayland-core
  • bundled-workflows

Since the bundled Bun runtime executes correctly outside Wayland, it appears the failure occurs before or during Wayland's sandbox/child-process execution rather than inside Bun itself.

I'm happy to provide additional logs or run diagnostic builds if needed.
