Re:Recursive self-improvement is possible for apps, too by brendanashworth on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @07:53PM (#47786917)
Out of the box, Opus/GPT-5.4 uses checks like `tsc --noEmit` or `python -m py_compile ...`, so compile checks on a Swift/Objective-C app probably get you pretty far. Also just setting up a Dockerfile maybe with swift:5.10-focal would give the agent the right tools to verify its own work.

Sandboxing isn't about having the perfect devex environment, most dev sandboxes (looking at codex cloud) don't actually have full verification available. Sometimes Github actions CICD is all you can get!
