I tore down HumanLayer's source code: it leashes your coding agent, but sessions move to its cloud
Описание и применение
<p>HumanLayer open-sourced its whole system the other day. 11.8k stars, Apache 2.0, and they say the released code is the same code their cloud runs. What it sells is something a lot of people want right now: let a coding agent work on its own, but make it stop and ask before it does anything dangerous.</p> <p>The repo is about 22 megabytes of TypeScript. I read through it, then went back and checked the important files against the official docs. The engineering is real, the idea is right. It's also much heavier than it looks, and a few things won't show up in the launch post.</p> <h2> What it
