# `4.5.0` Faster Daily Loops

Status: Planned

## Goal

Make the day-to-day chat-host loop feel cheap enough that users reach for it
for normal work, not only for special high-isolation tasks.

## Public API Changes

The product should add an explicit fast-path for repeated local use, such as:

- a prewarm or prepare path for the recommended environment and runtime
- a clearer fast reset or retry path for repeated repro-fix loops
- visible diagnostics for cache, prewarm, or ready-state health

The exact command names can still move, but the user-visible story needs to be:

- set the machine up once
- reconnect quickly
- create or reset a workspace cheaply
- keep iterating without redoing heavy setup work

## Implementation Boundaries

- optimize local-first loops on one machine before thinking about remote
  execution
- focus on startup, create, reset, and retry latency rather than queue
  throughput
- keep the fast path compatible with the repo-aware startup story and the
  supported chat hosts
- prefer explicit caching and prewarm semantics over hidden long-running
  daemons

## Non-Goals

- no cloud prewarm service
- no scheduler or queueing layer
- no daemon requirement for normal daily use

## Acceptance Scenarios

- after the first setup, entering the chat-host path again does not feel like
  redoing the whole product onboarding
- reset and retry become cheap enough to recommend as the default repro-fix
  workflow
- docs can present `pyro` as a daily coding-agent tool, not only as a special
  heavy-duty sandbox

## Required Repo Updates

- docs updated to show the recommended daily-use fast path
- diagnostics and help text updated so the user can tell whether the machine is
  already warm and ready
- at least one repeat-loop smoke or benchmark-style verification scenario
  added to prevent regressions in the daily workflow
