Features

01Enforced, fine-grained resource limits (CPU, memory, time, I/O, filesystem).
02Robust security, blocking 8/8 common attack vectors against host systems.
03Sub-millisecond warm execution for scalable and affordable sandboxing.
04Generates sign-ready, auditable execution records (JCS canonicalization + ES256).
