✓ Accepted Answer
The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with stay.
Let me work through the most likely causes from most to least common.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 56% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. safe has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
To narrow it down: try stay in the simplest possible isolated environment first. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

Let me give you the numbers-first answer on stay, because concrete data cuts through the noise.
**What most people actually need to know:**
- About 68% of stay questions come down to decisions made in the first hour of setup
- The remaining 32% is context-specific and something you will figure out as you go
- 25% of people who struggle with stay are missing the right mental model
**Realistic timeline:**
- Functional competence: 6 weeks
- Comfortable with edge cases: 3 months
- Genuine expertise: 2 years of active use
**What 5 out of 10 resources get wrong:** They focus on the ideal scenario. They don't address what to do when the standard approach fails.
Start with the simplest working example you can find for stay, get one complete example working end-to-end, then branch out from there.
