Every agentic coding session ships source code to a third party. An agent that reads forty files to answer one question has transmitted forty files, and the enterprises that care about this are discovering an uncomfortable detail: the coding agent is not the problem. Every major agent CLI in 2026 is a protocol client that accepts a custom endpoint. The model is the only part that has to be somewhere else, and open-weight models now clear 70-80% on SWE-bench Verified under MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses. The infrastructure to keep the entire loop inside a cluster boundary already exists.
