What's this about?
Air groups IDE orchestration, team workflow automation and governance for access, audit and cost. ACP is the open connection layer for third-party agents.
Why go beyond the editor?
Agents run remotely, react to repository events and span providers. The hard problem shifts from generating code to retaining context, verifying changes and assigning responsibility.
