I see. so right now smolvm can be stopped, and then "packed" (think of it as compressed), and restart on a different host. files in the disks are preserved, but memory snapshotting is still hard tbh

Ultimately the original does get stopped, but with additional techniques, we're talking milliseconds of downtime between when the old one stops and the new one resumes. (For live migration technology in general, no clue about smol machines.)
