feat: add Railway-based sandbox executor microservice

**New Sandbox Service:**
- Separate microservice for secure npm package execution
- Uses isolated-vm for V8-level isolation
- 128MB memory limit, 10s timeout
- Package caching for performance
- Express API with /execute, /health, /cache/clear endpoints

**Why Microservice:**
- VM2 doesn't work with Next.js Turbopack (requires runtime file access)
- isolated-vm doesn't work in Vercel serverless (native bindings)
- Microservice allows full Node environment with proper sandboxing
- Industry standard approach (Replit, CodeSandbox, RunKit)

**Deployment:**
- Dockerfile with isolated-vm build dependencies
- Railway.json configuration
- Health checks and auto-restart policies
- CORS configuration for Next.js integration

**Next Steps:**
1. Deploy to Railway:
   cd services/sandbox-executor
   railway init
   railway up
2. Set SANDBOX_EXECUTOR_URL in Next.js env
3. Update API routes to call sandbox service

This provides secure, production-ready package execution outside Vercel's constraints.

+# TPMJS Sandbox Executor Service
+
+Isolated microservice for securely executing TPMJS npm packages using `isolated-vm`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+This service runs separately from the main Next.js application to provide:
+
+- **Secure sandboxing** using V8 isolates
+- **Resource limits** (128MB memory, 10s timeout)
+- **Package caching** for faster subsequent executions
+- **Isolation from main app** - no risk of compromising the web app
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### POST /execute
+
+Execute an npm package function.
+
+**Request:**
+```json
+{
+  "packageName": "@tpmjs/createblogpost",
+  "functionName": "default",
+  "params": {
+    "topic": "TypeScript best practices",
+    "length": "medium"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "output": "Generated blog post content...",
+  "executionTimeMs": 1234,
+  "logs": []
+}
+```
+
+### GET /health
+
+Health check endpoint.
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "service": "tpmjs-sandbox-executor",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "memoryLimit": "128MB",
+  "timeout": "10000ms"
+}
+```
+
+### POST /cache/clear
+
+Clear the npm package cache.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `PORT` - Server port (default: 3000)
+- `PACKAGE_CACHE_DIR` - Package cache directory (default: /tmp/.tpmjs-cache)
+- `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` - Comma-separated list of allowed CORS origins (default: *)
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Railway
+
+1. Initialize Railway project:
+```bash
+railway init
+```
+
+2. Link to existing project or create new:
+```bash
+railway link
+```
+
+3. Deploy:
+```bash
+railway up
+```
+
+4. Set environment variables:
+```bash
+railway variables set ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://tpmjs.com,https://tpmjs-web.vercel.app
+```
+
+5. Get the service URL:
+```bash
+railway domain
+```
+
+### Local Development
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Test locally:
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/execute \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "packageName": "@tpmjs/createblogpost",
+    "params": {"topic": "TypeScript"}
+  }'
+```
+
+## Security
+
+- Runs in isolated V8 context
+- 128MB memory limit per execution
+- 10 second timeout
+- No filesystem access from sandbox
+- No network access from sandbox
+- Packages cached in /tmp
+
+## Integration with Next.js
+
+Update the Next.js API route to call this service:
+
+```typescript
+// apps/web/src/app/api/tools/execute/[...slug]/route.ts
+
+const SANDBOX_URL = process.env.SANDBOX_EXECUTOR_URL;
+
+const response = await fetch(`${SANDBOX_URL}/execute`, {
+  method: 'POST',
+  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+  body: JSON.stringify({
+    packageName,
+    functionName: 'default',
+    params
+  })
+});
+
+const result = await response.json();
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+Check logs:
+```bash
+railway logs
+```
+
+Monitor resource usage:
+```bash
+railway status
+```
