Ignition pitches forkable agent VMs

The idea is solid: agents are getting smarter faster than our sandboxes, and localhost is still a bad substrate for parallel, stateful experiments.

• –Ignition uses KVM microVMs plus snapshots, so it preserves a full environment rather than just a code checkout.
• –That makes branch-and-bound refactors, destructive migrations, and evals much safer because each run gets its own isolated state.
• –The real moat is workflow, not raw boot speed: data seeding, secrets, observability, and rollback need to feel trivial.
• –The open-source, self-hostable posture helps trust, but it also means adopters must still harden the edges themselves.
• –If the team can make the clone-and-run loop truly low-friction, this could become a real agent-infra primitive instead of just a neat demo.
