Self-hosted bot that posts PR fixes after testing in air-gapped Docker

A self-hosted GitHub bot automatically tests pull requests in an air-gapped Docker environment and posts fixes directly to the PR, enabling secure, isolated CI workflows for AI-assisted development.

Background

- This GitHub repository describes a self-hosted DevOps bot designed for air-gapped (offline, no internet) environments. It works by running code changes inside an isolated Docker container, testing them, and then automatically posting fixes as pull request (PR) comments or commits. - "Air-gapped" means a system physically or logically isolated from unsecured networks, common in defense, finance, and critical infrastructure where security is paramount. - The project hooks into a Git-based workflow (likely GitHub or GitLab) and uses Docker to sandbox execution, preventing untrusted code from touching the host system. - This matters because many organizations cannot use cloud-based CI/CD tools (like GitHub Actions or CircleCI) due to compliance/security restrictions, forcing them to build or seek bespoke automation for code review and testing.
