Logging verbosity |
GitHub mode is enabled automatically when your project has GitHub configured. The runner spawns a Docker container per task and opens pull requests. Requires GITHUB_TOKEN in your environment.
Adapter mode (no Docker) uses a local adapter script. The adapter is resolved from the agent's configured type (claude_code, gemini, etc.).
