Description
Vanish runs programs off your laptop and in the cloud so you can enjoy the machine while agents work, it uses x358 less CPU than running locally and is designed to be processed transparent, so all your commands should just work if you just add vanish on top of them, like `vanish npm test`

Could you build this?
Partial Building a transparent CLI tool that serializes local project state, syncs dependencies, replicates local execution environments in the cloud seamlessly, and streams I/O in real time is a complex systems problem.
What it would actually take: Architecture requires a lightweight CLI wrapper (Rust or Go) interfacing with remote microVMs or container infrastructure (e.g., Firecracker, Fly.io, or Docker on EC2). It requires bi-directional file synchronization (like Mutagen or rsync-over-gRPC), TTY/pty replication, environment variable propagation, and smart delta-caching of node_modules/binaries to ensure commands like 'npm test' execute with transparent low latency.
