[Gastown] Kilo Code Review check: persistent "Could not connect to the sandbox" failures across multiple PRs #4296

Description

@kilo-code-bot

What happened?

The "Kilo Code Review" GitHub check (the external AI code review bot) is persistently failing with "Could not connect to the sandbox" across multiple PRs in the arthrod/ooxmlsdk repo. This is an infrastructure/sandbox-connectivity outage in the Kilo Code Review product, NOT a defect in any PR's code.

Confirmed failing PRs (check-run conclusion=failure, output summary = "Review failed: Could not connect to the sandbox"):

Pattern: failures have recurred for ~9 hours (earliest observed on PR #18 at 2026-06-28T20:26:39Z through 2026-06-29T05:50Z), so this is persistent rather than a single transient blip. Retries do not succeed. All affected PRs are stacked feature branches of the same redline port; unrelated CI checks on the same commits (CodeRabbit, GitGuardian, Socket Security) pass, confirming the repo and the commits are fine and the failure is isolated to the Kilo Code Review sandbox.

Other CI checks on the same commits (CodeRabbit, GitGuardian, Socket Security) pass, confirming the repo/commits are healthy and the failure is isolated to the Kilo Code Review sandbox connectivity.

This generated multiple per-PR [Escalation:high] events. Each failed check-run consistently reports output_title "Kilo Code Review failed" with summary "Review failed: Could not connect to the sandbox" and no output_text.

Repro: open any of the listed PRs; the Kilo Code Review check fails identically regardless of branch.

Desired outcome: restore Kilo Code Review sandbox connectivity so the check can run on these stacked redline PRs.
