Description

When something wrong happens with the spot job, it would be nice to be able to log into the spot cluster to take a look at the problem. As proposed by @lhqing, having an option like --keep-minutes-after-error 60 for the spot launch can be useful for debugging.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate SkyPilot's spot job lifecycle and termination logic to implement a 'keep minutes after error' option that preserves the cluster for debugging after failure.
