Description
**Describe the bug**
Currently all action code is executed in the same process, which could potentially lead to errors if any action code is modifying process.env it affects the global space.
**To Reproduce**
write 2 actions where 1 is has a sleep function
```
const sleep = async (ms) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms))
// main function that will be executed by Adobe I/O Runtime
async function main (params) {
let before = process.env.__OW_ACTIVATION_ID
console.log('before', before)
await sleep(10000)
let after = process.env.__OW_ACTIVATION_ID
console.log('after', after)
return {
statusCode: 200,
body: {
before,
after,
wasCorrupted: (before !== after)
}
}
}
exports.main = main
```
aio app dev and call this action
while it is running, use curl to call the other action
**Expected behavior**
activationId has not changed when sleeper returns
```
time: 10015 ms
{
"before": "d5afdd731a1d2384c55b8bcdb1a453e6",
"after": "d5afdd731a1d2384c55b8bcdb1a453e6",
"wasCorrupted": false
}
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the `aio app dev` command and the action `main` entry point shown in the reproduction. Run two actions concurrently, including the 10-second sleep, and observe whether `process.env.__OW_ACTIVATION_ID` changes between `before` and `after`. Done means concurrent actions no longer affect each other's process environment.
