Could you build this?
Partial A basic CLI or test runner wrapper for coding agents is vibe-codeable, but a full delivery harness requires robust sandbox isolation, deterministic evaluation environments, and deep Git/CI integration.
What it would actually take: The stack requires a orchestration daemon (Go or Rust), container isolation (Docker/Firecracker/containerd), Git worktree management, and hooks for continuous integration and benchmark evaluation (like SWE-bench). The primary challenge is managing reproducible execution environments, securing container execution against arbitrary code execution exploits, and coordinating multi-turn agent feedback loops reliably.
