Just a little bit, I want coding agents to work their own disposable copy of a git repo. Here is a quick rundown of what it does:

It copies the current Git repo into the sandboxes dir, mounts that copy at /workspace in the container. The original repo is never mounted writable, so I don't care if the agent goes to town/wild in there (peace of mind).

It also builds cached Debian/mise/Elixir/Phoenix images, can start a private Postgres container, publishes selected localhost ports, reuses dependency/build caches, and prints commands on exit for reviewing diffs, exporting patches, applying them back to the real repo, or reopening the same sandbox later. Pi, and OpenCode are configured with proper LLM access keys (derived from my own).

So spinning a new sandbox is a matter of cding into a project directory and run something like: `ai-sandbox --port 4000 --postgres somedbname` or `ai-sandbox --port 4001` if I don't need DB support. Then when running the server in the container I can access it from the host machine to review in my browser.
