Forking claw-code: containment, observability, and why
- 01 April 2026
When claw-code leaked and hit 50K stars in two hours, I did what any curious engineer would do: I cloned it. And then I did what any paranoid engineer would do: I refused to run it on my host.
The project is a reconstructed harness [1] for agentic coding assistants. It is impressive work, and I wanted to understand how it ticked. But running someone else’s agent runtime with full tool access on your machine, reading your files, executing shell commands, making network requests, that requires a level of trust I was not ready to extend. Not because I suspected malice, but because I could not verify the absence of it. I needed containment first, observability second, and only then would I start experimenting.
Why my heart rate is on the internet

I built an ETL pipeline [1] for my personal health data. It updates every ten minutes and feeds a data warehouse [2]. And then I made it public… which might confuse you. It looks like a quantified‑self stunt [3] or some kind of cry for help, but it isn’t. It’s a privacy experiment, and the origin of it is much more mundane than it appears. It started with an unhealthy relationship with optimization.
A few years ago, I wanted to “improve” my body. Nothing dramatic, just a few centimeters here and there. I’m naturally skinny, so I focused on recomposition. I tried a ketogenic diet because some of the claims around it were interesting. I started counting calories and macros. The diet failed and I stopped, but the counting didn’t. At some point, calorie counting stopped being a tool and became a background process… a tab I couldn’t close.
