Vouch Request : Support Native Windows Support for OpenShell: shailendra-nv

[shailendra-nv]

What do you want to work on?

Create an RFC and changes to support native windows support for OpenShell using Microsoft MXC - https://github.com/microsoft/mxc

The goal is to integrate OpenShell with Microsoft eXecution Containers (MXC) to deliver a secure, native AI agent execution environment on Windows. Today, OpenShell supports agent sandboxing on Linux via Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, and libkrun VM runtimes. This project extends OpenShell to Windows 11 by introducing a new compute driver — openshell-driver-mxc — that uses MXC's processcontainer backend (Windows AppContainer with Low Integrity token) as the sandbox primitive, eliminating the need for a Linux VM, Docker Desktop, or WSL on developer and enterprise Windows machines.

Why this change?

This will enable OpenShell to execute natively on windows and provide a secure execution environment for agents to execute on Windows systems.
