    It's an interesting concept. This is half way to replicating pieces of Gastown. I like the idea, but I'm disappointed these tools still fail to address sandboxing as a first class citizen. I want to be able to declaratively set rules for what sandboxes agents execute in and mark context as tainted when untrusted etc. So far I still don't see any of these harnesses properly addressing this space. I'd be interested in knowing if it can be done through the extensibility of Pi, but since it operates directly on the trust layer, it feels like the type of thing that really needs native support.

      Isn't it better if the tool is sandbox agnostic and you as the developer / integrator choose what's best for your use case? There are several levels of sandbxing, with many degrees of "freedom", so it would be really hard/confusing/overly-complex to build something ootb that suits everyone, no?
