Persist-mode (``persist_across_processes=True``, the default) leaves the container **running** untouched. The docs promise "ONE long-lived container shared across sessions" and stopping it on every Hermes exit breaks that promise: * Background processes inside the container (``npm run dev``, watchers, long-running pytest) get killed every time the user runs ``/quit``. * Every reuse requires ``docker start`` + waiting for the container to come back up, adding 1–2s to the first tool call of the new session. * The user-visible difference between "ONE long-lived container" and "a new container that happens to share state" is exactly this: processes survive in the former, die in the latter. Resource reclamation for the persist-mode case lives in the ``reap_orphan_containers()`` path (see issue #20561 commit 3): if no Hermes process touches a labeled container for ``2 × lifetime_seconds`` it gets ``docker rm -f``'d at the next Hermes startup. That covers the SIGKILL / OOM / abandoned-laptop cases without us needing to stop the container on every graceful exit. Opt-out mode (``persist_across_processes=False``) still does ``docker stop`` + ``docker rm -f`` on every cleanup, matching the pre-PR behavior for users who explicitly want per-process isolation. ``force_remove=True`` overrides persist mode and always tears the container down (``docker stop`` + ``docker rm -f``). This is the explicit-teardown path for ``/reset``, ``cleanup_vm(task_id)``-driven resets, or any caller that wants a guaranteed fresh container on next ``DockerEnvironment(task_id=...)``. No current caller passes ``force_remove=True``; the parameter is here so the explicit-teardown semantics can be wired up later without changing this method's signature. Cleanup runs on a daemon thread with bounded ``subprocess.run`` calls (not the racy ``Popen(... &)`` pattern from before PR #33645). The atexit hook in ``tools/terminal_tool.py`` waits up to 15s for the thread to finish before the interpreter exits, so ``docker stop`` / ``docker rm`` actually completes when we do trigger it.
