Module kernel_runtime 

hq-core kernel runtime: the full former-harness runtime (run dispatch, managed worktrees, scheduling and continuations, delivery bundles, observation feed, operator and read host) hosted in-process.

The runtime’s node adapter dials core’s own operator control socket, so every run dispatch, spawn and observation read goes core -> drain -> C2 -> node. Nothing dials a separate C2 control endpoint.

The runtime owns the kernel databases (single writer); the hub forwards operator requests to it via RemoteKernel. Its operator/read host binds loopback only.

Catalogs: launch-plan overrides and delivery bundles are read as *.json files from <data dir>/kernel/launch-plans/ and <data dir>/kernel/delivery-bundles/. With none, the runtime derives default launch plans from the live node inventory.

Structs

KernelRuntimeConfig

Settings resolved from the environment (token var removed from the process env).

RemoteKernel

Hub-side handle: forwards typed operator requests to the runtime host.

Constants

DEFAULT_KERNEL_BIND

KERNEL_BIND_ENV

Loopback address of the runtime’s operator/read host.

KERNEL_OPERATOR_TOKEN_ENV

Operator credential the hub presents to the runtime host.

KERNEL_RUNTIME_ENV

Set to 1 to run the kernel runtime (needs the core mesh).

Functions

load_catalogs

Launch-plan overrides and delivery bundles from <data dir>/kernel/.

run

Run the kernel runtime until shutdown, restarting it with backoff if it stops.
