 The default coding agent sandbox that isolates AI agent execution in a container with network egress control through domain-based access lists. AWF makes the host filesystem and environment variables available inside the container while restricting outbound network access to configured domains. Enabled with `sandbox.agent: awf` (the default when `sandbox` is not specified). See [Sandbox Configuration](/gh-aw/reference/sandbox/).
 
+### Bridge Pattern
+
+A cross-repository event forwarding architecture for [SideRepoOps](#siderepoops) workflows. Because GitHub Actions only delivers webhook events to the repository where they occur, `slash_command:` triggers cannot fire directly in a side repository. The bridge pattern solves this with two workflows: a thin relay workflow in the main repository that receives the slash command and forwards it to the side repository via `workflow_dispatch`, and a worker workflow in the side repository that performs the actual work. See [Slash Commands in SideRepoOps](/gh-aw/patterns/side-repo-ops/#slash-commands).

 ### Cache Memory
 
 Persistent storage for workflows preserving data between runs. Configured via `cache-memory:` in tools section with 7-day retention in GitHub Actions cache. See [Cache Memory](/gh-aw/reference/cache-memory/).
