mirrord gives the agent's local process the cluster's actual env vars, DNS, and network. The failure it prevents is the expensive one: the agent can't reproduce, so it writes a plausible patch against an imagined config, and you find out at deploy. A reproducing environment converts speculation into a verification loop, which is the entire difference between vibe coding and agentic engineering.
