What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
144.7k GitHub stars and 14.7k forks accrued in under 4 days plus a 734-point/309-comment Hacker News front-page thread signal unusually strong developer momentum for a framework this new, but the official README explicitly warns of pre-1.0 breaking changes and the native sandbox (landlock-run) only confines untrusted code on Linux, failing closed elsewhere — real adoption risk for any near-term production dependency.
Next
Spike a sandboxed pv-agent prototype against dsh on a Linux CI runner to validate the plugin/session-log model; re-evaluate for any production embed only once the project cuts a stable (non-rc) release or the compatibility-breaking-changes warning is lifted.
