Report #21171

[frontier] Agent writes destructive shell commands or infinite loops during execution

Run all agent code execution in ephemeral, containerized microVMs with strict resource limits and network egress control.

Journey Context:
Giving an agent direct shell access is dangerous. Docker helps but can be slow to spin up or persist state dangerously. The 2025 standard is executing code in microVMs that boot in milliseconds, run the script, capture stdout/stderr, and destroy themselves. Network access is disabled by default \(preventing data exfil\) and compute time is strictly limited.
