Agent Diff Review Sandbox

Run coding agents in a VM and review the diff before it lands

Problem
Letting coding agents edit local code directly is risky and hard to roll back. Existing workflows lack an isolated environment where you can review the full diff after the agent runs but before it lands.
Solution
A lightweight sandbox: agents run in a VM or container, all changes are presented as a diff, and developers accept or reject each hunk before writing back to the main workspace. Supports common agent CLIs and Git workflows.
Users
Developers using coding agents cautiously, security-sensitive teams, and tech leads
MVP
Isolated runtime based on container or lightweight VM; auto-generate agent change diff; accept / reject / partial apply UI; Git branch integration; agent action log.
Revenue
Open-source base plus subscription team tier (policy controls, audit logs, SSO); charge per developer seat.
Why now
Coding agents are getting more capable but trust is low, and enterprises now demand change review; indie developers can assemble this from existing container and diff tooling.
