Runtime services, packaging, and deployment

Documentation status: guide — see Maturity and evidence.

This section turns a declarative application into a reproducible runtime assembly. It covers application configuration, package loading, runtime service declarations, deployment trees, environment bindings, update descriptors, and operational smoke tests.

The core chain is:

application configuration
  -> packages and manifests
  -> models / views / services
  -> registered runtime capabilities
  -> configured service instances
  -> deployable runtime tree

Fast paths

• HTTP service
• Package loading
• Deployment
• Operations diagnostics
• Production checklist

Recommended path

1. Application configuration
2. Package and model loading
3. Runtime service model
4. HTTP service example
5. Runtime service families
6. Deployment tree
7. Environment configuration
8. Updates and container deployment
9. Operational diagnostics
10. Reproduction checklist

Public examples retain useful source behavior but use ABI-facing class names, not internal implementation identifiers.
