  - name: Idle pause
    description: Set idleTimeoutSeconds on VMs to auto-pause idle VMs. Paused VMs are $0 and resume on
      next exec. Best practice for long-running agent loops.
  - name: Persistent vs ephemeral
    description: Use ephemeral VMs for one-shot tasks. Use persistent VMs only when warm-state resume
      matters (Hobby+ only).
  - name: Snapshots
    description: Snapshot once, fork many. Memory snapshots restore in ~600ms.
  - name: VM forking
    description: Live-fork a running VM to parallelize work without rebuilding (e.g. three forks for
      API, UI, tests in parallel).
