Core Problem: VDI-based workspaces can't effectively use idle detection because the VDI connection stays active, preventing cost-saving auto-shutdown.
Business Case: Customer X needs this for expansion, with potential 30-50% compute cost savings.
Technical Limitations: Current detection methods (connection-based, file monitoring, process monitoring) are insufficient for VDI use cases.
Proposed Solutions:

1. Short-term: Enhanced quiet hours with automatic timezone detection
2. Medium-term: Client-side activity reporting via IDE plugins
3. Long-term: Intelligent activity detection research
