make test was dominated by teardown-heavy workspace integration tests, not by coverage overhead. Service shutdown was treating zombie processes as live, which forced repeated timeout waits, and one shell test was leaving killpg monkeypatched during cleanup, which made shell close paths burn the full wait budget.\n\nTreat Linux zombie pids as stopped in the workspace manager so service teardown completes promptly. Restore the real killpg implementation before shell test cleanup so the shell close path no longer pays the artificial timeout. Also isolate sys.argv in the runtime-network-check main() test so parallel pytest flags do not leak into argparse-based tests.\n\nAdd pytest-xdist to the dev environment and run make test with pytest -n auto by default so available cores are used automatically during local iteration.\n\nValidation:\n- uv lock\n- targeted hot-spot pytest rerun after the fix dropped the worst tests from roughly 10-21s each to sub-second timings\n- UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check\n- UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check
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.
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.
