## Open questions

- Cloud Agent and code-review services are separate hosted surfaces.
- CLI autonomous mode disables confirmations; it is not a sandbox.

## Verification plan

1. Pin a product release or repository commit and record the host environment.
2. Create a disposable repository with a passing baseline test.
3. Run a bounded change with two agents where supported; record permissions and logs.
4. Record a failed attempt, actual outcome, and artifacts without secrets.
5. Have another person reproduce the result before labeling it reproduced.
