Every AI coding tool can write Python — Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf. None of them can run it safely in production.

That gap between "AI wrote the code" and "the code ran safely" is exactly what I'm building [jhansi.io](https://jhansi.io) to close.

This series documents the journey. One layer of the problem at a time.

When AI generates code, four things still stand between you and prod:

`eval()`

your way through an audit.jhansi.io is the missing `run()`

for AI-generated code. Open core, cloud sandbox, built to close each part of the gap — layer by layer.

**Part 1 — Persistent sandboxes**

Why "ephemeral" breaks debugging, state, and compliance. The case for giving every AI a home directory.

**Part 2 — Dependency management** *(coming soon)*

Detecting, installing, and locking deps across Python, Node, Go, and Java. With SBOMs and policy built in.

**Part 3 — Isolation** *(coming soon)*

What "hard isolation" actually means. Containers, Firecracker, zero trust networking, and the metadata service attacks you haven't thought of yet.

**Part 4 — Secrets** *(coming soon)*

Kernel-level proxies. AI can call Stripe without the key ever entering the sandbox.

**Part 5 — Audit** *(coming soon)*

Who ran what, when, with which prompt. Hash-chained logs that satisfy auditors, not just engineers.
