Phoenix creator here. I'm happy to answer any questions about this! Also worth noting that phoenix.new is a global Elixir cluster that spans the planet. If you sign up in Australia, you get an IDE and agent placed in Sydney.

I'm assuming you're using FLAME?

How do you protect the host Elixir app from the agent shell, runtime, etc

Not using FLAME in this case. The agent runs entirely separately from your apps/IDE/compute. It communicates with and drives your runtime over phoenix channels

Oh interesting. So how do messages come from the container? Is there a host elixir app that is running the agent env? How does that work?

Yes, elixir app deployed across the planet as a single elixir cluster. We spawn the agents (GenServer's), globally register them, and then the end-user LiveView chat communicates with the agent with regular elixir messages, and the IDE is a phoenix channels client that communicates with and is driven by the agent.
