FI8: Non-durable DirectAgent mode #24

@frisbeeman

Description

@frisbeeman

Status: Future idea, not scheduled (currently considered a non-goal). Lives in the v0.5+ ""maybe"" bucket of the roadmap.

Summary

A no-Temporal-required dev/test mode for quick iteration without spinning up a worker + server.

Why this might matter

Local dev / unit tests / quick prototyping shouldn't need a full Temporal stack.

Why not scheduled (and why it's a non-goal today)

  • Temporal IS the runtime; a non-durable variant splits the library's audience.
  • Existing solutions (testcontainers Temporal dev server) cover most local-dev needs.
  • Would only revisit if the OSS community explicitly asks for it.

Open questions

  • Would this fragment examples / docs?
  • Could be done via a thin in-memory Temporal-API shim rather than a parallel agent runtime?
