 Every session can run in an isolated Docker container: no network, no host mounts beyond the working directory, zero capabilities, destroyed on exit. `odek serve` enables the sandbox **by default**; `odek run` keeps it opt-in but warns when running unsandboxed. `--ctx` files are auto-injected into the container at `/workspace/`. Full security model in [docs/SANDBOXING.md](docs/SANDBOXING.md).

-External content the agent ingests (`browser`, `read_file`, `shell`, `search_files`, `multi_grep`, `transcribe`, MCP tools) is wrapped in per-call nonce'd `<untrusted_content>` boundaries so the model can distinguish data from instructions.

 ### 🧩 Sub-Agent Delegation
 Parallel OS-process sub-agents via `delegate_tasks`. True isolation — each sub-agent is a fresh `odek subagent` process with its own config, tools, and termination timeout. Up to 8 concurrent workers. [docs/SUBAGENTS.md](docs/SUBAGENTS.md)
