Considering the complexity of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2871 and the discussion therein, as well as the further complexity introduced by the hardening in https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2742, as well as the eventual replacement of wasmtime by PolkaVM, it seems best to remove this persistence as it is creating more problems than it solves. ## Related Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2863
PVF Host
This is the PVF host, responsible for responding to requests from Candidate Validation and spawning worker tasks to fulfill those requests.

Running basic tests
Running cargo test in the pvf/ directory will run unit and integration
tests.
Note: some tests run only under Linux, amd64, and/or with the
ci-only-tests feature enabled.
See the general Testing instructions for more information on running tests and observing logs.
Running a test-network with zombienet
Since this crate is consensus-critical, for major changes it is highly recommended to run a test-network. See the "Behavior tests" section of the Testing docs for full instructions.
To run the PVF-specific zombienet test:
RUST_LOG=parachain::pvf=trace zombienet --provider=native spawn zombienet_tests/functional/0001-parachains-pvf.toml
Testing on Linux
Some of the PVF functionality, especially related to security, is Linux-only, and some is amd64-only. If you touch anything security-related, make sure to test on Linux amd64! If you're on a Mac, you can either run a VM or you can hire a VPS and use the open-source tool EternalTerminal to connect to it.1
