While I can see that working well for echoing keystrokes in a terminal, I'm not sure how it would work when you actually enter commands into the terminal. Same for opening files in the IDE.

I didn’t get that the IDE is running on both sides, if that’s true. Wow.
This is why most IDEs nowadays ask you something about "trusting files" when opening a project. They tend to lick and run on everything in there (at least for dynamic-ish languages, and maybe not "run" intentionally but do stuff which is arbitrary code execution more or less by definition) to analyze the code.
Yup! There's a language server and file server running in the sandbox that the editor on the frontend interacts with.
