Claude code for web:
- connects directly to your GitHub repositories
- creates a sandboxed environment in which to conduct its work
- lets you open a PR once it has finished
Working totally "blind" isn't going to fit a lot of the time, but for some smaller tasks, this could be awesome.

Does anyone know precisely how Cloudflare applies CPU limits to long-lived WebSocket connections? I had a socket closed recently on ~2000ms CPU usage - way below the 30 second default.
Bumping the limit works, but I want to understand the methodology @cloudflare.social @cloudflare-dev.bsky.social
