Lease fast managed cloud capacity, point at an existing SSH host, or use an agent sandbox provider — then sync your dirty checkout, run commands remotely, stream output, collect evidence, and release. Local edit-save-run loop, cloud-grade compute, agent-ready observability. ```sh crabbox run -- pnpm test ``` Behind that one command: a Go CLI on your laptop, a Cloudflare Worker broker that owns provider credentials and lease state, and a managed or delegated runner. ## How it works ```text your laptop Cloudflare Worker cloud provider ------------- ------------------ -------------- crabbox CLI -- HTTPS --> Fleet Durable Object --> Hetzner / AWS / Azure / GCP | lease + cost state | | | +------------ SSH + rsync to leased runner <--------------+ ``` - **CLI** — Go binary. Loads config, mints a per-lease SSH key, asks the broker for a lease, waits for SSH, seeds remote Git, rsyncs the dirty checkout (with a fingerprint skip when nothing changed), runs the comman
