@zottmann.dev And I think I got it working reliably and comfortably! It’s a pretty simple setup using a #Docker container but it’s speedy like a micro VM, the guest system connects to host system MCPs which live and die together w/ the VM. And it’s configurable by project, just like #Claude itself.

@zottmann.dev Me, I want a sandbox to put an #agent in, one it can’t break. R/W access to the current folder, configurable optional RO access to others—and I want it to build #Xcode projects, which it can’t inside the VM because that’d require a full Xcode setup inside.

@zottmann.dev Just as clarification as to why: on #macOS, #ClaudeCode uses sandbox-exec (which was marked for deprecation in ~2012!) under the hood to sandbox its bash use. But it can stop doing that when you ask it to, or when it decides it needs to break out of the sandbox. Which… I mean, sure.
