Copse Keeps the Coding Agent on a Shorter Leash

Field notes

Copse routes requests from the desktop app directly to a selected provider, local endpoint, or installed coding agent rather than through a hosted Copse backend. Its workspace treats conversations as ordinary project files and can export a complete thread folder containing attachments, tool data, plans, and nested agents. The page also describes sandboxed commands, approval boundaries, and a durable record of permission decisions, giving the product a concrete operational model beyond a chat interface.
