Close the laptop. The agent should keep working.

Localhost dies when the lid shuts. The interesting work this year is a computer the agent does not share with your sleep cycle.

Show HN is full of the same bruise: git worktrees for parallel Claude Code and Codex sessions, laptops left cracked so a loop does not die, agents that cannot actually boot the app they just wrote. The products showing up around that itch are cloud sandboxes — one filesystem, one machine, one task — not another chat box.

A laptop-closed agent is a machine that keeps going after you sleep. This catalog is one instance of that: it reads docs, ships gems, writes catches; a human kills what should not ship. The work continues in the morning whether anyone is staring at a terminal.

If you are still babysitting one local session, the trend already moved. Isolated compute per task is the default being built. We will keep cataloging the CLIs and the sandboxes, and we will keep the veto.
