Runtime Architecture Implementation - November 23, 2025

Overview

Major progress on the runtime architecture implementation with completion of core context management, type validation, and lifecycle orchestration systems. All implemented components have 100% test pass rates with comprehensive property-based testing.

Completed Components

GType System (100%)

Implemented a complete runtime type validation system with zero-boilerplate schema definitions:

  • ✅ Schema definitions for all TypeScript types
  • ✅ Comprehensive validation with structured error diagnostics
  • ✅ Custom validators (min, max, length, pattern, email, url, uuid)
  • ✅ Helper functions for common types
  • ✅ 75 unit tests + 3 property tests (300+ runs)

Performance: <1ms validation for typical objects

Local Context (100%)

Request-scoped context with complete state management and lifecycle hooks:

  • ✅ Ephemeral key-value storage with isolation
  • ✅ Hook registration (cleanup, timeout, error, phase change)
  • ✅ Snapshot/restore for debugging
  • ✅ Metadata tracking (request ID, timestamps, phase)
  • ✅ 53 unit tests + 17 property tests (1,450+ runs)

Performance: <0.2ms context creation

Global Context (100%)

Application-wide context with module registry:

  • ✅ Module registry with typed access
  • ✅ Configuration management
  • ✅ Shared state across requests
  • ✅ Shutdown lifecycle hooks
  • ✅ 33 unit tests + 9 property tests (600+ runs)

Performance: <0.1ms module access

Hook Orchestrator (100%)

Lifecycle orchestration with comprehensive hook support:

  • ✅ Hook execution in correct order (global → route → local)
  • ✅ Async hook support with timeout and retry
  • ✅ Error isolation between hooks
  • ✅ Request/response validation integration
  • ✅ Lifecycle event emission
  • ✅ 23 unit tests + 6 property tests (600+ runs)

Performance: <1ms orchestration overhead

Snapshot/Restore (100%)

Debugging support with state capture:

  • ✅ Complete state serialization
  • ✅ Promise tracking with status
  • ✅ Hook index recording
  • ✅ Version fingerprinting
  • ✅ 8 unit tests + 2 property tests (200+ runs)

Performance: <5ms snapshot creation

Handler Manifest Generation (80%)

TypeScript AST analysis for automatic manifest generation:

  • ✅ Handler detection (4-parameter signature)
  • ✅ Metadata extraction from JSDoc
  • ✅ GType reference extraction
  • ✅ Module dependency detection
  • ✅ Timescape version fingerprinting
  • ✅ Security policy extraction
  • ⏳ Hook extraction (pending)
  • ✅ 4 unit tests + 1 property test (100 runs)

Test Coverage
