Atuin Desktop just got a brand new runtime!
Runbooks are now
- reproducible (context flows down, no global state)
- persistent (state survives restarts)
- executable anywhere (CI, remote machines, anything)
This is the first step towards making runbooks an actual automation primitive

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.
Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

I write full time largely because of one thread about getting high with the Irish president. As cringe as it is to admit, my entire life has been massively enhanced by Twitter and ketamine over precisely the same time that those two things have proven less beneficial for Elon Musk.
