Description
I've been looking for a way to run LLMs safely without needing to approve every command. There are plenty of projects out there that run the agent in docker, but they don't always contain the dependencies that I need.Then it struck me. I already define project dependencies with mise. What if we could build a container on the fly for any project by reading the mise config?I've been using agent-en-place for a couple of weeks now, and it's working great! I'd love to hear what y'all think

Could you build this?
Yes This project dynamically mounts local environment dependencies (like `mise`) into Docker containers when running LLM agent commands. An AI assistant can easily generate the Docker execution logic and CLI orchestration script.

Competitors mentioned: Dagger (BuildKit-based), Firecracker VMs, Docker, claudebox (Linux user namespaces + bubblewrap + Nix), CUE + Dagger integration (hof project)
Concerns raised: Feature is commoditized, many similar solutions exist, Node.js instrumentation overhead vs. alternatives, Not idiomatic Go implementation, Multiple config files instead of single unified file
Feature requests: Infer environment requirements automatically from language files, Single config file instead of multiple files, VS Code integration, Support for point-in-history environment execution

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
