+### Path-style S3 URLs for remote endpoints
+
+When deploying with CDK >= 2.177.0 against endpoints whose hostname contains `.sandbox.` (e.g. `*.sandbox.localstack.cloud`), asset uploads to S3 require path-style URLs. The wildcard TLS certificate for these endpoints only covers one subdomain level and cannot match virtual-hosted-style bucket addresses like `<bucket>.abc.sandbox.localstack.cloud`.
+
+`cdklocal` automatically enables path-style S3 when it detects a `.sandbox.` hostname in `AWS_ENDPOINT_URL`. You can also opt in explicitly via `AWS_S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=1`.
