Design a service like GitHub Codespaces that gives engineers on-demand remote development environments. A developer picks a template and repo, gets a ready environment in under a minute, connects from a browser IDE, VS Code or SSH, and can stop and resume without losing uncommitted work. Idle environments must not burn money, and every devbox runs untrusted code.
