This is awesome - the snapshotting especially is critical for long running agents. Since we run agents in a durable execution harness (similar to Temporal / DBOS) we needed a sandboxing approach that would snapshot the state after every execution in order to be able to restore and replay on any failure.

We ended up creating localsandbox [0] with that in mind by using AgentFS for filesystem snapshotting, but our solution is meant for a different use case than Freestyle - simpler FS + code execution for agents all done locally. Since we're not running a full OS it's much less capable but also simpler for lots of use cases where we want the agent execution to happen locally.

The ability to fork is really interesting - the main use case I could imagine is for conversations that the user forks or parallel sub-agents. Have you seen other use cases?
