This is why I run Claude Code in a VM.
Follow up question - is there a claude code alternative with an open source harness that also costs around ~$20/month? Doesn’t have to be frontier.

I still worry about the damage unattended Claude Code could do in an internet connected VM (which you need to download dependencies) and with push permissions to a repo.
While it's probably my science fiction brain overthinking, those stories of Claude "testing the fences" makes me wonder if it got desperate enough it force push and remove all trace of a problem it couldn't solve from the history of the repo or if it got stuck in a loop while hammering an MCP server somewhere.
Same, I push to Claude or pull from it. I’m sure it could still escape the vm if its tokens got aligned in a certain way.

It’s been fairly handy - I recently spun this up using glm5.2
deepseek + pi.dev maybe? it is hard to beat subsidized consumer plans. sonnet is 10usb/M token.
OpenCode?
