# Bake (or rebake) the workspace's golden snapshot

`POST /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/golden/bake`

Runs the full bake inline and returns the settled state: ensure the base agent repo exists (generated from the platform base template on first use), boot a throwaway sandbox, install bun + the pinned MIN Claude runtime (frozen install, musl pruned), clone `base/`, lay the root symlinks and the workspace.json marker, snapshot with no expiry, record the golden, and delete the superseded snapshot (safe — snapshots are self-contained, F-029). A fresh golden is a no-op unless `force` is set. Concurrent bakes coalesce on a DB claim; a caller that loses the claim waits for the winner. Takes ~10-20s (plus ~5s when the base repo is created first). Per-user rate-limited at 6/300s in its own bucket.
