- We Built Ourselves an AI Coding Workbench — Using GitHub Actions as the Sandbox
We built our team's AI coding workbench on GitHub Actions runners — not K8s, not a third-party sandbox service, not a managed agent. The design turns GHA's instability into a contract, keeps conversation continuity as the one hard guarantee, and uses OIDC so the sandbox repo holds zero secrets.

AI-assisted long tasks often end with all-green CI and shipped bugs. The problem isn't laziness — our engineering signals were never built to catch silent passes. Five forms of the "green but wrong" anti-pattern, five mechanisms behind it, and nine countermeasures that work at the system level.
