 "page_title": "How to turn a coding task into a verified patch with Esf",
 "summary": "Run a coding agent in an isolated microVM and get a patch plus gate results.",
 "who": "A developer or engineering lead with a repo and a clear change to make, who wants an agent to do the work without touching their workstation.",
 "problem": "Letting a coding agent edit a working tree directly risks unverified changes, leaked credentials, and no record of what happened.",
 "outcome": "A durable patch, logs, and manifest for one task, with the agent output checked by the configured verification gates.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/mitkox/esf.git` and `cd esf`, then `mkdir -p bin` and `make build`.",
  "Run `./bin/factory init`, then edit factory.toml with your Cube API endpoint, template, proxy address, agent harness, and verification profile. Keep factory.toml and .env out of Git.",
  "For local Temporal, copy `deployments/dev/temporal/.env.example` to `deployments/dev/temporal/.env`, set a random database password, then run `make temporal-up`.",
  "Run `./bin/factory config validate` and `./bin/factory doctor`, then start the worker with `./bin/factory worker` in one terminal.",
  "In another terminal run `./bin/factory run --repo https://github.com/your-org/your-repo --rev FULL_COMMIT_SHA --task \"Describe the change and acceptance criteria\" --agent opencode2 --verification default`, then check it with `./bin/factory status RUN_ID` and `./bin/factory logs RUN_ID`. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the ESF repo at <esf_path>, submit a run against <repo_url> at commit <full_sha> with the task in <task_file>, then poll `./bin/factory status <RUN_ID>` until it finishes. Report the patch location and gate results, and confirm the verification gates passed before calling the run successful.",
