Useful for

Run a coding agent in an isolated sandbox with restricted network access
Configure a YAML policy allowing only GET requests to the GitHub API
Deploy the OpenShell gateway to Kubernetes via Helm chart

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
