You can specify the job's CWD as submission time, but there is no attribute
to retrieve to fill in this information. Perhaps it should be added to the
JobInfo class? 

As for supporting sandboxes, what does that actually mean? In a chroot jail?
With a restricted user id (whatever that means)? Why should I care? What's
the use case?

There is a getJobId method on the Job interface for this purpose. It's up to
the backend to provide the ID, so uniqueness is not something SAGA can
guarantee.
