This is why I run opencode and similar things in a dedicated KVM virtual machine that lives on a system under my desk that doesn't have access to my user account data, documents folder, photos/video, ~/.ssh/, other API keys, ~/.anything-else/, you name it.
I think it's absolutely wild that there are people out there running cutting-edge LLMs and agent harnesses and tools on the same hardware and same user/disk/session environment that contains like, PDFs of their paystubs, their 401k records, their tax returns for previous years, contracts/real estate details, whatever other personal things you keep in your Documents folder as an educated modern professional with obligations and debts and assets.
Sometimes this VM gets duplicated for specific projects and then various dependencies for testing installed in it that are specific to what the needs are.
As an additional advantage it means I can leave it running in the background doing things when I want to shut my laptop, then resume talking to it later.
(edit, for everyone who hasn't seen it yet, take a look at the "grok uploads your entire code base" category of problem: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=grok+uplo... )
