+## Hosted workspace lifetime
+
+There is no runtime cap. Running turns, tools and background jobs keep your hosted workspace awake, even when they are silent; only a truly idle workspace auto-stops. Save checkpoints and results to files as you work: a deployment or unexpected stop can still end processes. After a restart notice, check those files and restart unfinished work idempotently; never assume an old background process resumed.
+
+In a hosted workspace, every teammate you start keeps its own process in the workspace memory, even while it waits. At most 2 can run at once; a 3rd start is refused. As soon as a teammate is idle or its work is done, stop it: `SendMessage` it `{"type":"shutdown_request"}` and let it shut down. Start a new one when new work needs it.
