fix: fail CLI edit if shared memory is not available#7921
Merged
Conversation
marimo edit today requires shared memory; this change updates the CLI to exit with an informative error if we detect that shared memory is not available This fixes an issue in which running marimo on minimal sandboxes that don't have /dev/shm led to a confusing error state, with the frontend repeatedly failing to connect.

| " (e.g., --shm-size=256m or -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm)\n" | ||
| " - If /dev/shm is full, clear unused shared memory segments\n" | ||
| " - Use 'marimo run' instead if you only need to view notebooks" |

another option is to warn and then disable virtualfiles (we do support disabling virtual files and it will inline data)
