What happened?
Docs say: Each command launches a sandbox with the respective coding agent pre-installed and configured. Your existing credentials (from claude login, codex login, etc.) are forwarded into the sandbox automatically — no re-authentication needed.
my experience has been that claude code starts as if completely fresh install and i have to login
Steps to reproduce
smolvm claude start
launch
claude code opens and asks to login
Expected behavior
claude code should open without asking to login
SmolVM version or commit
0.0.18
Environment
macOS + QEMU
Relevant logs or output
