   I don't agree with this analysis. Any element that runs stuff in a sandbox should be able to drop into the sandbox to debug failures. I see two ways to go about this:
   - design a way to cache build trees for all elements with a sandbox
   - prefer the actual sandbox, and only fall back to reconstructing it from the build trees if it's not locally available
   
   I think we should do both, but either one will fix the most common use case.
