Runtime Lifecycle

This page points to the lifecycle-specific operating paths so you can choose the right restart or recovery workflow.

Lifecycle Paths

Lifecycle concern Start here
start, stop, and operator control Runtime UI And Control
hot reload after source/config changes Compile, Validate, Reload
deploy and restart after a release Deploy And Rollback
retain behavior, faults, and safe-state recovery Safety And Commissioning

Restart Modes

  • Normal start brings the runtime up from a stopped state.
  • Warm restart is the retain-preserving recovery path when the runtime/platform supports it.
  • Cold restart reinitializes more runtime state and should be treated as a stronger reset.
  • Compile/reload is the engineering loop for code or config changes.
  • Fault recovery starts from the relevant safety or rollback workflow, not from the normal start path.
