## Description

This self-hosted runtime system enables AI assistants to access code repositories on your local machines. The architecture uses a Server component that authenticates requests and forwards them to Runner processes running on computers where code lives. You get the ability to inspect files, edit code with safeguards, execute tests and compilers locally, manage Git operations, run long-running tasks visibly, and review work through a browser console. Installation comes via npm, native platform packages (.deb for Debian/Ubuntu, NSIS for Windows, macOS installers), or Docker containers. Set it up on one machine or across multiple machines with a central Server coordinating several Runners.
