You seem upset. I'm simply saying that if I didn't trust a human developer to run shell commands on the webserver (or the much lower bar of my own laptop), I woudn't trust them to push code that's supposed to run on that webserver, even after "auditing" the code. Would you let an agent run freely ssh:d into your webserver?

I would absolutely put ssh access to the prod server way above submitting a pr for danger, that’s an enormous step up in permissions.

You seem inexperienced, lots of orgs do not allow their devs to arbitrarily ssh into their webservers without requesting elevation, which is fundamentally the difference between autonomous agent development `dangerously-skipping-permissions` and it asking every time to use commands? Which is the point of a sandbox?
