`marimo pair`: reactive notebooks as a live workspace for agents

Agents can use a running marimo notebook as working memory, scratchpad, and persistent Python state. Strong fit for research and data workflows; worth trying now, but still early for production defaults.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Instead of one-off scripts, the agent works inside a stateful marimo session and can inspect variables, run code, and read outputs in place.
  2. State can be persisted by adding or deleting notebook cells and installing packages; the notebook stays a plain Python file with an executable trail.
  3. The setup exposes a semi-private code mode, turning the notebook into a reproducible REPL that effectively extends context windows.
  4. marimo guardrails matter here: dependent cells rerun automatically and deleting a cell scrubs its variables, reducing hidden-state drift.
  5. They already use it for data exploration and self-debugging, which signals practical utility beyond a demo even if the project is experimental.
