But “cloning” via UI runs an exact copy of the code/config, not a variant, unless I edit those via UI (which is not ideal). So it looks like the following workflow that is trivial to do locally is not possible via remote agents:
run exp tweak code/configs in IDE, or tweak configs via CLI have it re-rerun in exact same venv (with no install overhead etc)
So maybe the remote agents are more meant for enqueuing a whole collection of settings (via code) and checking back in a few hours (in which case we don’t care about pip install times) ?
