+feat: expose the underlying E2B SDK sandbox instance from `E2BSandbox`.

+- Added a public `getSandbox()` method that returns the original `e2b` `Sandbox` instance so provider-specific APIs (for example `files.read`) can be used directly.
+- Added `E2BSandboxInstance` type export for the underlying SDK sandbox type.

+If you need provider-specific APIs, keep a reference to the provider and access its native SDK instance:
+

 ## Custom sandbox provider
 
 You can implement `WorkspaceSandbox` and plug it into `Workspace` directly.
