Side-by-Side Facts
| Metric | Ephemeral-AI-Lab/layerfs ↗ | openai/codex ↗ |
|---|---|---|
| Description | LayerFS gives every agent an isolated, disposable filesystem fork without copying the shared base. Useful states become durable, deduplicated checkpoints with workspace-scoped tool history—ready to branch, rewind, or reuse across parallel development, environment experiments, and MCTS-style rollouts. | Lightweight coding agent that runs in your terminal |
