In macOS's Little-Known Command-Line Sandboxing Tool (2025)
Cool to see more projects in this space! I think Wasm is a great way to do secure sandboxing here. How does Amla handle commands like grep/jq/curl etc which make AI agents so effective at bash but require recompilation to WASI (which is kinda impractical for so many projects)? I've been working on a couple of things which take a very similar approach, with what seem to be some different tradeoffs: - eryx [1], which uses a WASI build of CPython to provide a true Python sandbox (similar to componentize-py but supports some form of 'dynamic linking' with either pure Python packages or WASI-compiled native wheels) - conch [2], which embeds the `brush` Rust reimplementation of Bash to provide a similar bash sandbox. This is where I've been struggling with figuring out the best way to do subcommands, right now they just have to be rewritten and

compiled in but I'd like to find a way to dynamically link them in similar to the Python package approach... One other note, WASI's VFS support has been great, I just wish there was more progress on `wasi-tls`, it's tricky to get network access working otherwise...
