Add post-4.0 chat product roadmap
Extend the chat ergonomics roadmap now that the core workspace and MCP path are in place for the narrowed chat-host persona.

Add the next planned phase around project-aware chat startup, host bootstrap and repair, reviewable agent output, opinionated use-case modes, and faster daily loops so the roadmap keeps pushing toward a repo-aware daily tool instead of a generic VM or SDK story.

Document the constraints explicitly: optimize the MCP/chat-host path first, keep disk tools secondary, and take advantage of the current no-users-yet window to make breaking product-shaping changes when needed.

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
