GPT 5.6
Typically I just want to isolate the agent disallowing it from accessing other parts of the filesystem. Using a different user might be enough, but I typically use [bubblewrap](https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap).

pseudoroot, fakeroost, hakoniwa... How to deal with unpriviledge packaging?
A third way sort of in between, that I'm using in crossdev-stages already, is to leverage more modern linux features to have both sandboxing AND the illusion of being root. hakoniwa and bubblewrap are the best tools to achieve that.

Jamesob's guide to running SOTA LLMs locally
It depends - for what? If your security model is sandboxing an agent to ensure they don't nuke your PC, then there are a lot of options, you can use something like bubblewrap[1] or a microVM like libkrun[2] if your goal is light-weight, up to full Docker if you want the tooling that comes with that.

GLM-5.2 is the step change for open agents
I use both the openai subscription and the opencode go subscription. I use the go subscription for my personal work and the openai subscription for my consulting work.
The differences between the models are minimal, but I usually stick with gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.4, mimo-pro-2.5, deepseek-v4-pro. These latter ones have way more usage than even using 5.4-mini so I tend to use them in personal projects for that reason.
My harness is https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi. I trust it...enough. It updates very frequently so as a safe guard I run it sandboxed with https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap so it can only access the project folder and some whitelisted config files

512,000 Lines of Claude Code Leaked Through a Single .npmignore Mistake
The sandbox implementation is where the engineering gets particularly impressive. On macOS, Claude Code uses Seatbelt, Apple's kernel-level sandboxing framework that's the same technology Safari uses to isolate web content. On Linux, it uses bubblewrap, a namespace-based container isolation tool originally developed for Flatpak. The source reveals granular permission controls over filesystem access, network requests, and process spawning — each operation goes through a policy check before execution.

Pyodide: a Python distribution based on WebAssembly
https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap#sandboxing
The bubblewrap readme mentions containers as binaries with binctr; I guess without overlayfs or other file-level reduplication due to the container fs in the binary.
Perhaps similarly, also TIL

Agent Safehouse – macOS-native sandboxing for local agents
My bad, looks like I misunderstood how bash-tool works.
Then how about running Claude Code or your harness of choice inside bubblewrap with a shim/stub for the base binary?
