Summary
Greptile's TREX, Cursor's cloud agents, OpenAI's Codex Cloud, and Devin now give coding agents sandboxed runtime environments to execute code and return logs/traces before human review, moving verification into the agent loop. This enables Stripe's agents to ship over 1,000 reviewed PRs per week, but the approach mocks dependencies, so integration bugs in cloud-native distributed systems—the most expensive ones—escape detection.
