- Developers using coding agents on macOS
- Worth noticing
- The demo shows a dotenv read blocked through `sh -c`, and says it runs only the displayed lines in-browser.
Field notes
The browser demo is limited to listed examples; its Open, Guarded, and Hardened controls alter handling of eval and command substitution while the sample commands remain fixed. Warden's listed checks cover command text, file effects, environment flags, and SQL statements; the page reports microsecond policy decisions and zero LLMs in the decision engine. The downloadable app is listed for Apple Silicon Macs, and the developer preview is provided as-is without warranty.
