What is Warren?
Warren is a self-hosted control plane for running coding agents as managed workloads. It handles the complete run lifecycle: setting up a fresh workspace, executing the agent in a sandbox (local bwrap, Docker sibling containers, or Kubernetes pods), streaming live events, enforcing spend and concurrency limits, allowing steering and cancellation, recovering from failures, and delivering results via Git with optional pull requests. The project works with Pi and Claude Code agents. One deployment serves a single operator or trusted team, protected by a bearer token. Supported Git forges include GitHub (App or PAT), GitLab, and Azure DevOps Repos. Optional extensions add audit logging, run judging, campaign controllers, and issue tracker integrations. Licensed under MIT.
