Request for classic confinement: cetonia What it is: Cetonia is an AI-assisted development environment (IDE-class tool). It lets users run AI agents that author and execute the user’s own code: spawning dev servers, language toolchains (node, bun, git, compilers), terminal multiplexers, and editing project files in user-chosen working directories.
Supported category: This matches the established classic categories for IDEs / development tools, programming-language tooling, terminal software, and tools for local, non-root user-driven configuration of development workspaces.
Why strict confinement is insufficient: The core function is to launch arbitrary user-authorized processes (exec/spawn)
and operate on arbitrary project paths chosen by the user at runtime — the same model as the code (VS Code) snap. The
executables and paths are user-chosen and unbounded, so strict confinement plus interfaces cannot enumerate them in
advance; the app cannot function under strict confinement.
Precedent: Same rationale as the code snap and other IDE / developer-tool snaps already granted classic confinement.
