I built it because Docker sandboxing requires config and planning. Build in sandboxing of AI tools instead is limited to the very tools themselves, instead I wanted to have a simple cage around Claude running inside VSCode. Also needed to protect files inside a folder like .env.local or keys.

Install via: brew install holtwick/tap/bx

Run like: bx claude .

But this storage format is designed for "long term" and "slow" operations. Where "slow" means in the time lapse of a second instead of a milisecond. This allows us to combine multiple changes into a single log entry.

CRDT implementations like Yjs are good at concentrating such changes into smaller chunks of data. For example, writing text in a rich text editor like Prosemirror is then reduced to something like a string and a position.

But the UI can also be lazy and throttle things. A string input field can only fire changes when the field is left or not typed for a second or so.

These steps will significantly reduce the size of the log. They did in my implementations.

But this is not the end of realtime for such applications. These applications could still pass changes directly over P2P, as long as the log remains consistent, so that the resulting document will always eventually consistent.

Indeed, the approach is similar. Especially the separation of assets (they call it "Data files") from the log ("Data log") is something I consider being a good choice.

But that might be a benefit from the proposed log sync, because these conflicting situations can be shown and marked for human review in the UI. Each step of change is well documented and the history can fully be reviewed.

The growth of the log is indeed a weak point that could be improved by regularly merging entries. Missing entries are easily recognizable because a consecutive index is used. The checksums on the previous entry should improve data consistency.

The point that CRDTs themselves already contain all the information required for an update is absolutely correct. I have been working on this protocol for some time and one objective was the reproducibility of the individual changes fro accountability reasons. But this may not be necessary for all applications and could possibly be achieved in other ways. Thank you for pointing this out, I will reconsider the concept in this respect!

I guess under (1) the "providing access to its essential functionalities" part is relevant: "‘Distribution’ or ‘Communication’: any act of selling, giving, lending, renting, distributing, communicating, transmitting, or otherwise making available, online or offline, copies of the Work or providing access to its essential functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal person."
