Cache contracts to disk on local node temporarily

[antazoey]

Overview

Imagine this:

You start a process using a locally connected node and Ape... it deploys a contract.
In another shell, you connect to the same node. You have access to the contract type but the instance is not cached to disk and not in your new process's memory and so you have to either copy it in yourself and dig through account history and make assumptions.

Specification

create a local cache for contract instances, much like live networks, except have it get cleaned up in the end.
the best to clean it up actually is during the starting of the process.
if ape is not starting any process, it wont clean.
if you end a proces and re start, it will have a fresh cleaned env

Dependencies

Include links to any open issues that must be resolved before this feature can be implemented.

this gets tricky when considering isolation as well
