Report #22313

[synthesis] Running agent-generated code directly in the user's local environment without isolation

Execute all agent code actions inside an isolated sandbox \(e.g., Docker container, microVM\) and only surface the diffs or final artifacts to the host environment after validation.

Journey Context:
Giving an agent direct shell access is powerful but extremely dangerous \(e.g., rm -rf hallucinations\). Devin's architecture solves this by providing the agent with its own complete sandboxed workspace. The agent can freely run commands, install packages, and break things without harming the user's system. The user only sees the final result or the git diff. This decouples execution risk from agent capability, allowing the agent to be truly autonomous.
