What other dev OSs are there?

I don't understand. If unprivileged code could easily re-elevate itself, privilege dropping would be meaningless ... If you need to communicate with the outside, you can do so via sockets (such as the bind-mounted X11 socket in one of the readme Examples).

I happen to use a Mac, even when targeting Linux so I'd have to use a container or VM anyways. It's nice how lightweight bubblewrap would be however.

Consider one wanted to replicate the human-approval workflow that most agent harnesses offer. It's not obvious to me how that could be accomplished by dropping privileges without an escape hatch.

It being deprecated and all, didn't feel like wrapping it, but macOS supposedly has a similar `sandbox-exec` command ...
