[frontier] Shared execution environment leaks state and creates security vulnerabilities across agent turns

Spawn isolated E2B \(or equivalent\) micro-VMs for every single tool execution; mount only the required context via ephemeral filesystems and destroy the VM immediately after return.

Journey Context:
Running agent tools in the same process or container creates persistent state bugs: a file written by turn 1 is visible to turn 2, causing non-determinism. Worse, a malicious tool can poison the environment for subsequent users. Docker per-turn is too slow \(seconds\). The emerging pattern uses firecracker-based micro-VMs \(E2B, CodeInterpreter-style\) that boot in <100ms from pre-warmed snapshots. Each tool call gets a pristine, hermetic environment with only the specific files mounted that the agent needs for that step. After the tool returns, the VM is terminated. This guarantees reproducibility and security isolation at the cost of minor latency, which is acceptable for high-stakes production agents.
