The SANDBOX_NAME precedence has changed here, but the existing test coverage appears to still assert the old behavior (e.g., test/service-env.test.js has a case expecting NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX to override SANDBOX_NAME, and those tests also don’t execute start-services.sh directly). Please update/add tests to assert the new precedence (SANDBOX_NAME wins over NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX) and ideally exercise the script logic rather than duplicating a parameter-expansion snippet in the test.

Logic fix is correct; existing tests and debug.sh need updating to match new precedence.

The two-step expansion correctly implements the intended precedence (SANDBOX_NAME flag > SANDBOX_NAME env > NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX env > "default"). However, the following must be addressed:

  1. Test failure: test/service-env.test.js test "uses NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX over SANDBOX_NAME" (around line 133) will fail. It expects NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX="from-env" to take precedence over SANDBOX_NAME="old", but the new pattern gives SANDBOX_NAME precedence, so the test will return "old" instead of the expected "from-env". Update the test expectations to reflect the new precedence.

  2. Inconsistent sibling script: scripts/debug.sh:39 still uses the old pattern:

    SANDBOX_NAME="${NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX:-${SANDBOX_NAME:-}}"

    Update it to match the new precedence logic in start-services.sh.

In `@scripts/start-services.sh` around lines 22 - 26, Update the test expectation
and the sibling script to reflect the new SANDBOX_NAME precedence: change the
test in test/service-env.test.js for "uses NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX over SANDBOX_NAME"
to expect SANDBOX_NAME to win when both SANDBOX_NAME and NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX are
set (i.e., expect "old" instead of "from-env"), and edit scripts/debug.sh to use
the same two-step expansion pattern as start-services.sh (create a fallback var
like _SANDBOX_DEFAULT="${NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX:-default}" and then
SANDBOX_NAME="${SANDBOX_NAME:-$_SANDBOX_DEFAULT}") so both scripts share
identical precedence logic.
