Show HN: Sentient, Your Coding Agent Shouldn't Be a Black Box
after working quite rigorously for a few months with claude code, I found out that I was blindly approving permission requests for the sake of progressing my projects, this led me to realize that coding agents generate hundreds of commands underneath the covers which is necessary, but quite scary if you ask me. you've probably seen news recently about agents deleting databases or environments in production by accident. so i wanted to create something to gain visibility into what's actually happe

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 1 votes (Nov 8, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication) Recent records to compare: “Show HN: KeyContain – Fine-grained access to APIs your agents use” (Show HN, Nov 7, 2026); “Show HN: Twombly – A collaborative canvas for your agent's design explorations” (Show HN, Nov 7, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
