Some Every Code integration tests support running against a remote executor. This means that when CODEX_TEST_REMOTE_ENV is set they will attempt to start an executor process in a Docker container CODEX_TEST_REMOTE_ENV points to and use it in tests.

Docker container is built and initialized via ./scripts/test-remote-env.sh

Currently running remote tests is only supported on Linux, so you need to use a devbox to run them.

You can list devboxes via applied_devbox ls, pick the one with code in the name. Connect to devbox via ssh <devbox_name>. Reuse the same checkout in ~/code/code. Reset files if needed. Multiple checkouts take longer to build and take up more space. Check whether the SHA and modified files are in sync between remote and local.
