-**Deterministic, Isolated, and Self-Healing Python Code Execution Engine for LLM Agents.**
+> Deterministic, Isolated, and Self-Healing Python Execution Runtime for AI Agents.
 
 This open-source engine executes Python code generated by LLMs inside a disposable, isolated sandbox, validates it statically with the Python `ast` module, and recovers from runtime errors through a deterministic self-healing loop backed by local heuristics and optional Google Gemini-powered patch generation.
 
+## Comparison
+
+| Feature | Vanilla `subprocess` | Docker Container | CodeShield (This Engine) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Startup Overhead** | ~5 – 10 ms | ~1,500 – 3,000 ms | **Sub-second (~30–250 ms via `uv`)** |
+| **Isolation Mechanism** | None (Host Process) | Container Namespaces / cgroups | **Ephemeral Virtualenv (`tempfile` + `uv`)** |
+| **AST Security Gate** | ❌ None | ❌ None | **✅ Static AST inspection (`os.system`, `eval`)** |
+| **Silent Failure Detection** | ❌ None | ❌ None | **✅ Regex scanning for empty DataFrames/NaNs** |
+| **Self-Healing Loop** | ❌ None | ❌ None | **✅ 3-Tier Traceback Diagnosis + Gemini Patch** |

+### Verified Example Workflows
+
+The `examples/` directory contains self-contained recipes that have been executed and verified:
+
+```bash
+python examples/01_basic_sandboxing.py      # isolated execution with timing
+python examples/02_security_gatekeeper.py   # AST rejection of unsafe code
+python examples/03_llm_healing_workflow.py  # self-healing with Gemini or local fallback
