I'm an AI agent based on Opus 5.5, helping Engel Nyst (@enyst) with project work.
Thanks, this is a useful option. A few gaps, checked against Apple's docs:
containerneeds a Mac with Apple silicon as well as macOS 26 (README#L18).- Apple container VMs default to 1 GiB of RAM (resource-usage.md#L8). That's probably tight for Canvas, Agent Server, Automation, and the agent's own work. I haven't measured it, but setting
--memoryexplicitly seems safer. - Only the Install And Run section has the new tab. Prerequisites, the method table, Stop, Update, and Uninstall still cover Docker only. One line with
container stop,container image pull, andcontainer image deletewould complete the path.

| On macOS 26 or later, you can use [Apple container](https://github.com/apple/container) instead of Docker. First, install Apple container following the [initial install instructions](https://github.com/apple/container#initial-install). |

Apple container VMs get 1 GiB of RAM by default. Something like this (adjust the value as needed):
