Running Zed's Docker coding agent inside a sandbox with sbx

Original: Zed Editor, Docker Agent, ACP, but in a sandbox: running the agent with sbx

A developer has published a walkthrough showing how to run a Docker-based coding agent from the Zed Editor inside a sandbox using a tool called sbx. The setup uses the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) to connect the editor to the agent, while the sandbox isolates the agent's actions from the host machine. The piece is getting attention from developers interested in safely letting AI coding agents run commands locally.

Why now: Developers are actively looking for safe ways to run AI coding agents without giving them unrestricted access to their machines.
