Hello, maybe is a rookie question.  
why the flow cli against emulator responses in 30 seconds?  
Is this a limitation of the emulator?  
I understand the limitation for security proposes but is not too good to try automatic testing

Hi, more than a limitation is the emulator intended behavior. @Mackenzie could you help me clarify if the emulator is suited for automated testing?
