agent sandboxes are the new enterprise desktop

Short summary

GitHub's Copilot sandboxes signal a shift from model-centric AI to execution-environment security. Cloud sandboxes enable enterprise audit trails; local sandboxes preserve developer velocity. Across AWS, Docker, and OpenAI, agents are moving toward managed, scoped, auditable execution environments instead of inheriting developer machine credentials.

• •Sandboxes move agent security from 'trust the model' to 'define process boundaries'
• •Cloud vs local tradeoffs: auditability/policy vs developer velocity
• •Broader agent stack trend: AWS/Docker/OpenAI emphasize controlled execution environments
