Open-source local-first Linux MicroVM sandbox for macOS

About

• Lightweight Linux virtual machine environment for running AI agents, built on macOS's Virtualization.framework. No Docker needed
• Every run starts ephemeral by default, so installs and changes are automatically reset on exit
• The Checkpoint feature saves disk state as snapshots that can be restored, branched, and reused
• Network, CPU, memory, and disk size can be finely controlled via command-line options or a configuration file
• Provides a safe, reproducible local sandbox environment for running AI code, installing packages, evaluation, and testing
