Adds a research note on AWS Firecracker: the KVM-based VMM architecture, minimal device model, boot-time/density performance characteristics, layered security model (KVM boundary + seccomp + jailer), snapshot/restore for session pause-resume, and adoption beyond Lambda/Fargate (Fly.io, Kata Containers). Positions Firecracker on the container\u2192microVM\u2192full-VM isolation spectrum alongside gVisor/Kata (
k8s-agent-sandbox.md) and WASM (wasmcloud.md), and as the underlying isolation technology behind AWS Bedrock AgentCore's per-session sandboxing (aws-agents.md).
