Runtime Lifecycle¶
Runtime lifecycle decisions split across start/stop control, hot reload, release deploy, retain recovery, and safety recovery.
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.
