Paperback. A coding agent looks like a language model with a code prompt. It isn't. An LLM emits probabilistic tokens; an autonomous coding agent navigates unfamiliar codebases, formulates hypotheses, executes shell commands, inspects compiler diagnostics, and repairs multi-file regressions under strict token, latency, and financial budgets. The moment a model interacts with a filesystem and a shell, the primary engineering challenge ceases to be prompt engineering. It becomes software systems engineering.This book is an architectural and production guide to engineering systems in which humans and coding agents work reliably together on real codebases. It treats coding agents not as chatbots, but as composite software engineering systems built around foundation models. Every chapter bridges theoretical mechanics with concrete architectural blueprints: how context allocators manage active working sets, how tool dispatchers enforce secure capability boundaries, how isolated sandboxes execute mutations, and how closed-loop verification pipelines transform raw model proposals into verified pull requests.The early chapters establish the foundational mechanics and core architecture: Code LLM token economics, KV cache utilization, deterministic execution theory, and prompt/harness boundary contracts. It then dissects the 7-component agent stack: tool calling protocols, structured orchestrator loops, memory layers, and multi-agent coordination topologies (hierarchical supervisors, peer pipelines, and collaborative swarms).The later chapters focus on verification, harnesses, and production scale: why ungrounded agents hallucinate syntactically plausible regressions, how to build robust generate-verify-repair loops with AST linters and test runners, and how SWE-bench evaluation prevents contamination. The concluding chapters deliver enterprise engineering practices: microVM and gVisor container sandboxing, CI/CD integration gates, permission deny-lists, cost controls, and self-improving agents that distill lessons from repository execution traces.For software engineers, ML system architects, developer tooling engineers, and engineering leaders building the next generation of AI-augmented software workflows. The code examples are standalone, all architectures verified against production benchmarks, and each chapter closes with technical exercises and architectural checklists. An architectural and production guide to engineering autonomous coding agents. Covers agent stack, context allocation, tool calling protocols, test-driven verification harnesses, evaluation, sandboxing, and enterprise workflows. This item is printed on demand.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AussieBookSeller, Truganina, Victoria, Australia, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
