- Broaden scope from "Claude Code in Docker" to "AI coding agents in isolated sandboxes"
- Add SuperHQ (superhq.ai, v0.4.4) as a new adjacent-competitor entry: macOS-only
microVM desktop app, overlaps on isolation/credential-proxy/multi-provider but has
no manifest layer and no audit logging
- Note SuperHQ's user-voiced audit gap (Brian Cheong, Dunialabs.io) and that
bot-bottle already covers it
- Update differentiation list to reflect three backends (Docker, Apple container,
smolmachines) and three built-in providers (Claude Code, Codex, Pi) plus plugin system
- Add in-flight directions for forge-native dispatch (#317) and paid web control plane
(#327) with honest framing: lifecycle concept is not novel vs. cloud services (Devin,
Copilot Workspace); differentiation is self-hosted + manifest-driven + stronger isolation
The project started life as bash scripts and got rewritten to Python
(documented in docs/research/bash-vs-python-vs-go.md). Several docs
still carried the old "bash-first" framing — misleading for anyone
reading them now (8.7k lines of Python vs. ~130 lines of bash, all
in scripts/demo*.sh).
- CLAUDE.md "What this is" + "Conventions": orchestrator is Python,
posture is stdlib-first.
- docs/prds/0010-cred-proxy.md, docs/research/manifest-format-and-
grouping.md: quoted CLAUDE.md's old wording — re-quote.
- docs/research/built-in-supervisor-design.md, landscape-containerized-
claude.md, agent-sandbox-landscape.md, pipelock-assessment.md,
network-egress-guard.md: drop "bash-first" claims about the project,
keep accurate descriptions of external tools' bash usage.
Leaves untouched: bash code-fence syntax in examples, README's
literal `bash scripts/demo.sh` invocation (the demo IS bash),
Claude Code's "Bash tool" references, IVIJL/devbox bash description
(that project actually is bash), and the bash-vs-python-vs-go
research note that records the rewrite decision.
