Claude Code kinda tools are fundamentally local processes. Powerful, but if your laptop sleeps or the process crashes mid-task, you restart from scratch. Making the agent a durable, addressable unit on the network changes that. The runFiber() checkpoint pattern means a 30-minute multi-step task survives a restart with state intact, not just the conversation history.

I don't really see the novelty, you can achieve the same on any VM with SQLite + Websockets for realtime sync of state - and if start time is an issue or even deploy, Alpine linux is just 5MB..

The actual interesting part is the scaling, from 0 to 100 instantly.
