// EDITOR'S TAKE
OpenHands is the closest match in shape: a sandboxed agent with its own environment and browser that you can hand a task and leave alone, and it runs headless for CI-style automation. opencode and Cline are excellent but supervised, keeping you in the loop in the terminal or the editor rather than working unattended, and SWE-agent is really a research harness for solving GitHub issues on benchmarks.
