Research direction

Start by locating the documentation for calling run() and review how users are told to prepare project files. Document the recommendation to use a dedicated project subdirectory containing only essential files, and ensure the guidance explains that virtual environments and large dependencies can cause builds to time out or take hours.

Description

enhancement

Calling run() on a directory which includes a virtual environment or other large files will either time-out or take hours to build. Any virtual environment used for Cloud will contain tensorflow, so we should by default recommend that users create a dedicated subdirectory for each project, containing only the essentials.
