Runtime execution and contexts
Reference: This page is a source-based technical synthesis of the LaTeX chapter cited below. For exact syntax, availability or ABI signatures, verify the versioned source, manifest and executable tests.
Scope and source boundary
Runtime objects and execution contexts are created against activated metadata and have controlled lifetimes.
Execution contexts carry the state and environment in which runtime instructions, actions and processes operate. The source separates metadata and logical definitions from interpreter stacks, instruction trees and operational state. A call must be interpreted in the correct context, including ownership and lifetime.
Engineering rules
- Select the relevant execution engine for the declared operation.
- Make input context, output, error and cancellation behavior observable.
- Keep reusable definitions separate from mutable operation and session state.
- Release contexts, cursors and resources at their intended lifetime boundary.
