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
pyroas 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
