Risk explanation
Agents run code inside the sandbox, so a misconfigured box.toml or policy.dw widens what they can reach; start with the sample policy and deny by default; Preview status with macOS Apple-silicon-only local execution; expect sharp edges and changing interfaces; Young project (created 2026-10-02); not hands-on tested.
