         | In the coderunner read me it talks about reading files without
         | sending them to the cloud. Does that mean there is something
         | agentic going on? That's more than I expect from something
         | called a sandbox.
         | 
         | Also if it is agentic, why is it less cloud based than eg
         | Claude code? Are there LLMs running locally?

       | VMs into the cloud". We just don't really care anymore, I guess.
