Getting there meant rewriting the image toolchain without loop mounts, decompressing EFI zboot kernels in pure Rust, generating bootable initramfs in Rust, building vsock agent comms that work across both hypervisors, and wrapping Apple's !Send + !Sync framework objects in dispatch queues inside tokio. encore.dev No boot-time or overhead numbers published, which is the gap. Encore frames it as local backend dev, but a same-image microVM on Apple Silicon is exactly what agent sandboxing on a Mac has been missing.
