I kept running AI coding agents with full filesystem and network access, and no way to review what they did before it hit my system. Docker isolates but doesn't govern. So I built envpod.

Every agent runs in a pod with a copy-on-write overlay. Your host is never touched until you explicitly commit:

$ sudo envpod init my-agent --preset claude-code $ sudo envpod run my-agent -- claude $ sudo envpod diff my-agent # review every change $ sudo envpod commit my-agent # apply to host, or rollback

Also: encrypted credential vault (agent never sees raw API keys), per-pod DNS filtering (whitelist which domains the agent can reach), action queue (irreversible ops wait for approval), and append-only audit trail.

Single 13 MB static Rust binary. No daemon, no container runtime, no dependencies. Warm start in 32ms. 50 pod clones in 408ms. Tested on 9 Linux distros.

41 example configs for Claude Code, Codex, Aider, SWE-agent, browser-use, and more.

Solo dev. Happy to answer architecture questions.
