Description
Cue runs natural-language coding goals through Codex CLI inside approved folders only — capability-zero AppContainer isolation, a fixed execution envelope, and no credentials written to the UI or ledger. Built for people who want a local coding agent with hard boundaries. Not related to Maestro Cue.

Could you build this?
No Implementing a secure Windows AppContainer sandbox with capability-zero isolation, low-level process boundary enforcement, and token restriction requires deep Windows systems programming and security architecture expertise.
What it would actually take: A production version requires low-level C++/Rust systems programming utilizing Win32 security APIs (CreateAppContainerProfile, SetTokenInformation, Job Objects, and restricted token SID filtering). The hardest part is configuring AppContainer security capabilities, file system isolation ACLs, and process virtualization to prevent sandbox escapes while still allowing child CLI tool execution. This demands deep specialized Windows kernel and security engineering expertise.
