Lifecycle

Playrooms have a simple lifecycle: create/play, stop, start, and delete. Stopping a playroom keeps its storage but scales down compute to zero, while starting it again reuses the same storage. Deleting a playroom removes all its resources.

A stopped ephemeral playroom loses its data on restart, and its SSH host key changes, so a stop/start invalidates the pinned known_hosts entry.

create / play

make a new playroom.

stop

scale to 0. Storage is kept; you stop paying for compute.

start

scale back to 1, reusing the same storage.

delete

remove the playroom and all its resources.
