Could you build this?
Partial The AI code review bot interface is standard, but the rust-based Git extension tracking per-line LLM provenance along with isolated PR sandboxing requires low-level git hacking.
What it would actually take: Requires a Rust CLI extension wrapping `git` or `libgit2` to parse commit metadata and track authorship at the hunk/line level, alongside a serverless microVM orchestrator (like Firecracker) to securely spin up sandboxes, run untrusted pull request code, and evaluate test suites.
Discussion
5 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: git trailers, git notes
Concerns raised: Agents could lie about what they wrote (trust/verification gap), Trailers wouldn't provide granularity needed, Agents could be overridden by passing prompts to Codex/Claude Code defaults
Feature requests: Speed comparable to git notes, Deeper granularity than trailers allow
