## Quick summary

AgentLab is a controlled operating model for AI-assisted engineering:

- A Docker devcontainer is the bounded workspace — agents run inside it, not on the host
- A Git repo is the durable memory — all instructions, state, handoffs, and outputs live in it
- Three AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) each have their own branch and lane of work
- A human promotion gate controls what reaches production
- Private data never leaves the machine — local Ollama handles the private lane

The name for the overall system direction is **Therapon** — an operator-owned control plane that doesn't depend on any single vendor or subscription stack.
