workstead provisions and manages a dev sandbox: a dev box that reaches the
network only through a gateway instance, both LXD instances it creates. It
is the host-side CLI and, inside the gateway, the egress payload (iron-proxy,
gitproxy, dnsmasq, secretsfs). It is not the sandbox itself, and it does not
install or configure coding agents.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
