Remove shell-escaped file mutation from the stable workspace flow by adding explicit file and patch tools across the CLI, SDK, and MCP surfaces.
This adds workspace file list/read/write plus unified text patch application, backed by new guest and manager file primitives that stay scoped to started workspaces and /workspace only. Patch application is preflighted on the host, file writes stay text-only and bounded, and the existing diff/export/reset semantics remain intact.
The milestone also updates the 3.2.0 roadmap, public contract, docs, examples, and versioning, and includes focused coverage for the new helper module and dispatch paths.

Add explicit workspace secrets across the CLI, SDK, and MCP, with create-time secret definitions and per-call secret-to-env mapping for exec, shell open, and service start. Persist only safe secret metadata in workspace records, materialize secret files under /run/pyro-secrets, and redact secret values from exec output, shell reads, service logs, and surfaced errors.
Fix the remaining real-guest shell gap by shipping bundled guest init alongside the guest agent and patching both into guest-backed workspace rootfs images before boot. The new init mounts devpts so PTY shells work on Firecracker guests, while reset continues to recreate the sandbox and re-materialize secrets from stored task-local secret material.
Validation: uv lock; UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check; UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check; and a real guest-backed Firecracker smoke covering workspace create with secrets, secret-backed exec, shell, service, reset, and delete.
Make persistent workspaces capable of running long-lived background processes instead of forcing everything through one-shot exec calls.
Add workspace service start/list/status/logs/stop across the CLI, Python SDK, and MCP server, with multiple named services per workspace, typed readiness probes (file, tcp, http, and command), and aggregate service counts on workspace status. Keep service state and logs outside /workspace so diff and export semantics stay workspace-scoped, and extend the guest agent plus backends to persist service records and logs across separate calls.
Update the 2.7.0 docs, examples, changelog, and roadmap milestone to reflect the shipped surface.
Validation: uv lock; UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check; UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check; real guest-backed Firecracker smoke for workspace create, two service starts, list/status/logs, diff unaffected, stop, and delete.
Complete the 2.6.0 workspace milestone by adding explicit host-out export and immutable-baseline diff across the CLI, Python SDK, and MCP server.
Capture a baseline archive at workspace creation, export live /workspace paths through the guest agent, and compute structured whole-workspace diffs on the host without affecting command logs or shell state. The docs, roadmap, bundled guest agent, and workspace example now reflect the new create -> sync -> diff -> export workflow.
Validation: uv lock, UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check, UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check, and a real guest-backed Firecracker smoke covering workspace create, sync push, diff, export, and delete.
Let agents inhabit a workspace across separate calls instead of only submitting one-shot execs.
Add workspace shell open/read/write/signal/close across the CLI, Python SDK, and MCP server, with persisted shell records, a local PTY-backed mock implementation, and guest-agent support for real Firecracker workspaces.
Mark the 2.5.0 roadmap milestone done, refresh docs/examples and the release metadata, and verify with uv lock, UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check, and UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check.
Current persistent tasks started with an empty workspace, which blocked the first useful host-to-task workflow in the task roadmap. This change lets task creation start from a host directory or tar archive without changing the one-shot VM surfaces.
Expose source_path on task create across the CLI, SDK, and MCP, add safe archive upload and extraction support for guest and host-compat backends, persist workspace_seed metadata, and patch the per-task rootfs with the bundled guest agent before boot so seeded guest tasks work without republishing environments. Also switch post--- command reconstruction to shlex.join() so documented sh -lc task examples preserve argument boundaries.
