+# Dev Container Build Setup
+
+This repository includes a Dev Container configuration for building the Copilot 365 Agent in an isolated environment.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker installed and running
+- Visual Studio Code with Dev Containers extension (or compatible IDE)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. **Open in Dev Container**
+   - Open this repository in VS Code
+   - When prompted, click "Reopen in Container"
+   - Or use Command Palette: `Dev Containers: Reopen in Container`
+
+2. **Build the Agent**
+   ```bash
+   ./build.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Find the Binaries**
+   The compiled binaries will be in the `build/` directory:
+   - `copilot365_agent_win.exe` - Windows 64-bit PE executable
+   - `copilot365_agent_linux` - Linux 64-bit ELF executable
+

+    └── sandbox_tests.md    # Test documentation
+```
+
+## Environment Details
+
+The Dev Container is configured with:
+- **Base Image**: Ubuntu 20.04
+- **Network**: Isolated (`--network=none`)
+- **Capabilities**: `SYS_ADMIN` added
+- **Tools Installed**:
+  - `build-essential` - GCC and build tools
+  - `mingw-w64` - Windows cross-compiler
+  - `gcc-multilib` - Multi-architecture support
+  - `git` - Version control
+  - `python3` - Python support
+
+## Build Process
+
+The `build.sh` script:
+1. Generates a random mutation seed
+2. Compiles for Windows using `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc`
+3. Compiles for Linux using `gcc`
+4. Both builds use `-Os` optimization and the same mutation seed
+
+Each build produces a unique binary with compile-time variation based on the random seed.
+
+## Testing
+
+Refer to `tests/sandbox_tests.md` for comprehensive testing procedures.
+
+## Security
+
+- The build environment has no network access
+- Builds are performed in an isolated container
+- Build artifacts are excluded from version control
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Issue**: Permission denied when running `build.sh`
+**Solution**: Make the script executable: `chmod +x build.sh`
+
+**Issue**: Build directory not found
+**Solution**: The script automatically creates the `build/` directory
+
+**Issue**: Compiler not found
+**Solution**: Rebuild the Dev Container to ensure all tools are installed
