-## Running in Docker (with gVisor sandboxing)
-
-The `docker/docker-compose.yml` runs the container under [gVisor](https://gvisor.dev/)
-(`runtime: runsc`). gVisor intercepts all container syscalls in userspace, providing an
-extra layer of isolation so that even a compromised workload cannot make raw syscalls to
-the host kernel.
-
-### Host setup (Linux only)
-
-gVisor is a Linux technology. On macOS (OrbStack, Docker Desktop) you must remove
-`runtime: runsc` from `docker/docker-compose.yml` — gVisor is not available there.
-
-**1. Install gVisor (Debian/Ubuntu):**
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://gvisor.dev/archive.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/gvisor-archive-keyring.gpg
-echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gvisor-archive-keyring.gpg] \
-  https://storage.googleapis.com/gvisor/releases release main" \
-  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gvisor.list
-sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y runsc
-```
-
-**2. Register runsc with Docker (`/etc/docker/daemon.json`):**
-
-```json
-{
-  "runtimes": {
-    "runsc": { "path": "/usr/bin/runsc" }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**3. Restart Docker and verify:**
-
-```bash
-sudo systemctl restart docker
-docker run --runtime=runsc hello-world
-```
-
-**4. Launch storkit:**
-
-```bash
-GIT_USER_NAME="Your Name" GIT_USER_EMAIL="you@example.com" \
-PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/your/repo \
-docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up
-```
-
-### gVisor compatibility notes
-
-The following storkit subsystems have been verified to work under `runsc`:
-
-- **PTY-based agent spawning** (`portable_pty` / `openpty`) – gVisor implements the
-  full POSIX PTY interface (`/dev/ptmx`, `TIOCGWINSZ`, etc.).
-- **`rebuild_and_restart`** – uses `execve()` to replace the server process, which
-  gVisor fully supports.
-- **Rust compilation** – `cargo build` inside the container invokes standard fork/exec
-  primitives, all of which gVisor implements.
-
 ## Releasing
 
 Builds both macOS and Linux binaries locally, tags the repo, and publishes a Gitea release with a changelog.
