Product View
See the agent loop as a product, not just a prompt box.
This is the part worth showing. Project-local startup, bounded tools, hidden internals on demand, and a review step before edits land all turn the agent loop into something developers can actually trust.
Why it feels better
More bounded than chat. More legible than autopilot.
The system does real work, but it never asks the developer to stop caring about scope, review, or authorship.
Approval gate
The developer reviews the diff before meaningful writes touch the repo.
Quiet internals
Tool chatter stays hidden until /details is explicitly opened.
Legible progress
The workflow surfaces what changed, why it changed, and what still needs a decision.
Trust grows when every step has a boundary.
That means workspace scoping, review gates before writes, and internal activity that stays available without taking over the entire interface.
