Simple Handoff
Send a project to one of your own machines and its agent keeps working while your laptop is closed. `rsync` carries tracked and untracked files, staged and unstaged changes, deletions and `.git`, so there is no "push to GitHub first", and the run lives on the box as a `systemd --user` unit. Take back rsyncs the project home and cleans up after itself.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
A long agent task and a laptop that has to move are not compatible. Leaving the lid propped open on the kitchen table is not a plan, and the manual alternative — commit, push, SSH, clone, install Node, scp the `.env` over, start a `tmux` session you will forget the name of — costs more time than the task you wanted done. Handoff removes the whole ritual: the box starts from exactly what is on your disk right now, half-finished edits included, and keeps going whether your machine is asleep, on another network, or off.
