Process
Checks for existing sandbox assignments to the issue
If no assignment, acquires a lock on the pool
Fetches an available sandbox
Assigns the sandbox to the specified issue
Sets GitHub Actions output variable (if in GitHub Actions environment)
Releases the lock on the pool
Leasing
The --leasefor parameter specifies how long the sandbox is reserved for the current task before it can be reassigned within the same issue context. This is different from the overall expiration time of the sandbox in the pool.
Example
This fetches a sandbox from 'dev-pool' for the branch 'feature/new-feature', assigns it to issue 1234, and leases it for 60 minutes.
