Timeouts and cleanup: stopping runaway code

Every run needs a time limit and every sandbox needs closing.

Outline
This lesson is an outline of what it will teach. The full lesson, with code you can run, is being written.

What this lesson covers

  • Setting timeouts
  • Handling a run that never ends
  • Closing sandboxes reliably

Why it matters

Forgotten sandboxes cost money and runaway code blocks users.

Slow is fine. Stopping is the only problem.
