Persistence
A stopped sandbox keeps its whole disk until you delete it, so your agent picks up where it left off.
Stop it, and pick up where you left off.
Stop releases the machine and keeps the whole disk: files, packages, Docker images and build cache.
- A stopped sandbox costs 5% of its running price, and is kept until you delete it.
- Start brings back the same sandbox, under the same id. Stop it with its memory kept, for 10%, and every process comes back as it was.
- A sandbox runs until you stop it, or until a time limit you give it, which you or an agent in it can move.
- After 6 hours stopped it is archived, and a start still brings it back.

Snapshot, roll back, fork.
Keep the disk as it is before a risky step, and go back to it if the step goes wrong.
- A snapshot is of the whole disk, and the sandbox keeps running while it is taken.
- Roll the same sandbox back, or start new sandboxes from a snapshot.
- Fork a running sandbox to try two approaches from one state.
- A snapshot is kept after its sandbox is deleted.

Roll backForkMake every sandbox the same way.
A template is what a sandbox is made as and held to: its size and what it starts from, the variables and files it gets, and what it may reach.
- Every account has one named default, which a sandbox is on when you name none.
- Secrets are read one at a time, and the console keeps them hidden until you ask.
- A sandbox can have secrets of its own on top, used from its next command.
- Tags and metadata every sandbox made from it has, changed for all of them at once.
- A change reaches a sandbox when it next starts, or the running ones at once when you apply it. Nothing is restarted.
- A template costs nothing. A sandbox is billed while it runs, and a little while it is stopped.
