Question: Any plans to support persistent sandbox/workspace data?

Hi, First of all, thank you for open-sourcing Zeroboot. The copy-on-write VM forking approach is very interesting, especially for AI-agent workloads. I had a question about the roadmap: are there any plans to support persistent sandbox or workspace data in the future? From my reading of the repository, Zeroboot currently seems optimized for extremely fast ephemeral execution from a prebuilt snapshot, which makes a lot of sense for short-lived isolated tasks. I was wondering whether you are also considering a model where users could preserve state across executions, for example: - persistent workspace directories - writable volumes mounted into sandboxes - snapshot/restore of user workspace state - resumable sessions instead of fully ephemeral forks I’m asking because this would make Zeroboot much more compelling for longer-running agent workflows, coding environments, and iterative development tasks. If this is already being considered, I’d be very interested to know: - whether persistence is part of the planned roadmap - what form you think it might take - whether the current architecture is intended to support that eventually Thanks again for the project.
