What is this note about?
A spark prompted by digging into Heroku's code-execution sandbox implementation: its
dependency resolution happens live per call (
pip installinto a throwaway venv againstpublic PyPI), which doesn't fit enterprise CF deployments running offline/mirrored
buildpacks. This idea proposes splitting "stage an environment from a dependency manifest"
from "execute in an already-staged sandbox" — modeled on CF's own staging/droplet split —
as two decoupled primitives (e.g. MCP tools), so the platform can cache/reuse staged
environments and avoid re-resolving dependencies on every sandbox invocation.
