 Research into whether bot-bottle is redundant with existing projects, and
 whether it's worth publishing.

-  rehydrates on comment → tears down on PR close. The issue-to-PR lifecycle concept is not
-  novel (Devin, Copilot Workspace, SWE-agent all do this as cloud services); what's
-  distinct is doing it self-hosted, manifest-driven, inside bot-bottle's isolation
-  primitives.
-- **Paid web control plane (issue #327):** Browser-based multi-host agent launch and
-  monitoring; account-scoped bottle and agent definitions; secret custody (encrypted at
-  rest, injected into the sidecar at launch, never exposed to the agent or returned by any
-  read API). Monetization model: OSS runtime free, control plane paid — a standard split
-  (HashiCorp, Grafana) applied to a self-hosted agent sandbox. The principled secret

-  than most surveyed tools but not unprecedented.
