Partial The control plane and dashboard are vibe-codeable, but giving each agent an isolated Linux environment on a VPS requires real container or VM isolation work. Getting that sandboxing secure is a security-engineering problem that vibe coding alone won't reliably solve.
What it would actually take: Build a self-hosted orchestrator (likely Go or TypeScript) that provisions per-agent environments using Docker with hardened settings, or Firecracker/gVisor microVMs for stronger isolation. The hard part is preventing escapes, resource abuse, and network leakage between agents, which needs someone who understands Linux kernel isolation and security hardening.
