boat makes agent sandboxes resumable

boat provides persistent Ubuntu VMs for AI agents, with snapshots designed to preserve files, installed software, permissions, and system state after crashes or pauses. Developers can stop, resume, or fork environments without rebuilding long-running work.

// ANALYSIS

Machine-level persistence is a meaningful advantage over disposable agent runtimes, especially for workflows that install dependencies, run services, or accumulate debugging context.

–Snapshots preserve more than repository files, reducing recovery gaps after agent failures
–Forking enables parallel experiments from identical, fully configured environments
–Full VMs support Docker, systemd, browsers, SSH, and ordinary developer tooling
–Stop/resume can pause billing while retaining the workspace
–The tradeoff is managed cloud dependence, with current regions limited to Europe
