This is useful for cost attribution, bookkeeping, or finding and reconnecting to the sandboxes created by a given controller run. Labels use the same -l / --label KEY=VALUE syntax as hf jobs run . They are merged with the labels the SDK uses internally, and invalid or reserved labels are rejected before a billable Job is started. Pool-based sandboxes are unchanged: custom labels are only accepted for dedicated sandboxes.
