strukto-ai/mirage virtual filesystem performance (multi-file operations)

Optimized performance for multi-file operations, leveraging backend-specific batching
This analysis identifies a critical performance bottleneck in `Mirage`'s virtual filesystem: multi-file shell operations perform sequential, per-file reads instead of leveraging backend-specific batching primitives. For Redis, this means missing `MGET` or pipelined `GET`; for S3, it means foregoi...

strukto-ai/mirage `Workspace.execute` command execution

Reliable command execution control and resource management via `AbortSignal`
This issue identifies a critical flaw in `Mirage`'s `Workspace.execute` `AbortSignal` implementation: signals are only checked at entry, ignoring mid-execution aborts. Long-running commands, like `sleep 5`, complete despite an active abort signal. This creates a significant developer pain point f...
