RepoDoctor runs an unfamiliar repo in a throwaway sandbox, reads the real errors, and asks GPT-6 Astra for the smallest safe fix. A policy gate decides. It retries the command that failed, then ships a Dockerfile only after a fresh image passes.

Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping an LLM to generate Dockerfiles is easy, safely sandboxing arbitrary untrusted code execution, capturing build logs, and running multi-step repair loops requires non-trivial infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a secure microVM/container isolation platform (e.g., Firecracker or gVisor) orchestrating dynamic Docker builds with strict timeouts and network controls. A state machine backend (Go or Python) must parse error logs, feed them into an LLM context, apply deterministic policy checks against generated scripts, and retry image builds in an ephemeral runner pool.
