What Cline is
Cline is the original open-source IDE agent — it predates most of this roster — and its signature is the Plan/Act split, where a read-only planning phase produces something you approve before any edit lands. It is fully BYOK across providers, has a large MCP server marketplace, and keeps per-message checkpoints of the working tree. There is no OS sandbox: the boundary is an auto-approve allowlist you configure.
