Sandboxed Autonomy

Choose a coding agent’s execution boundary for the actions, data and failures the task can expose. A disposable working directory helps manage changes, but meaningful containment also depends on process access, mounts, network routes, credentials, tools and external services.

Git’s worktree documentation explains shared repository references and configuration; Docker’s security guide describes container, daemon and host considerations; Firecracker documents a microVM architecture. These sources were consulted 2 October 2026. This guide connects those distinct boundaries to scoped permissions, parallel work, review and cleanup without assuming that one environment label guarantees containment.
