+
+## @objectstack/runtime Integration Status
+
+### Current Delegation to Kernel
+
+| ObjectQL Method | Kernel Delegation | Status |
+|----------------|-------------------|--------|
+| `metadata.register()` | `kernel.metadata.register()` | ✅ Complete |
+| `on()` | `kernel.hooks.register()` | ✅ Complete |
+| `triggerHook()` | `kernel.hooks.trigger()` | ✅ Complete |
+| `registerAction()` | `kernel.actions.register()` | ✅ Complete |
+| `executeAction()` | `kernel.actions.execute()` | ✅ Complete |
+
+### Type Compatibility
+
+**Issue**: ObjectQL has richer context types than @objectstack/runtime:
+- `HookContext` (ObjectQL) includes `api` field for cross-object queries
+- `ActionContext` (ObjectQL) includes `input`, `output`, `api` fields
+- Runtime types use index signatures `[key: string]: unknown` for extensibility
+
+**Current Solution**: Type assertions via `as unknown as RuntimeType`
+
+**Recommended**: Enhance runtime types to include common fields.
+
+---
+
+## Gaps & Recommendations
+
+### Critical Gaps (Blocking Production)
+1. **Query Analysis Tools** (0% complete)
+   - No query performance profiling
+   - No execution plan visualization
+   - Recommendation: Implement QueryAnalyzer class (Week 4)
+
+2. **Service Registration in Plugin** (0% complete)
+   - Repository and AI are placeholders in ObjectQLPlugin
+   - No service container pattern
+   - Recommendation: Implement proper service registration
+
+### High Priority (Missing Features)
+3. **Aggregate Queries** (Repository)
+   - No groupBy/sum/avg/min/max support
+   - Recommendation: Add to Repository in Week 4
+
+4. **Transaction Savepoints**
+   - No nested transaction support beyond simple nesting
+   - Recommendation: Add savepoint API to drivers
+
+5. **AI Integration Hardening**
+   - Currently experimental
+   - Recommendation: Add caching, retry logic, cost tracking
+
+### Medium Priority (DX Improvements)
+6. **Action Discovery API**
+   - No way to list registered actions
+   - Recommendation: Add `getActions()` method
+
+7. **Query Caching**
+   - No cache layer for repeated queries
+   - Recommendation: Optional cache plugin
+
+8. **Batch Operations**
+   - No bulkCreate/bulkUpdate
+   - Recommendation: Add batch methods to Repository
+

+| @objectstack/spec | 0.2.0 | ✅ |
+| @objectstack/runtime | 0.2.0 | ✅ |
+| @objectstack/objectql | 0.2.0 | 🟡 Partially used |
+
+**Note**: `@objectstack/objectql` is imported but not extensively used yet. Core still manages drivers directly.
+

+
+## Conclusion
+
+**@objectql/core is 70% production-ready** with strong fundamentals:
+
+✅ **Production Ready**:
+- Metadata management (95%)
+- Validation engine (95%)
+- Formula engine (85%)
+- Repository CRUD (90%)
+- Basic plugins (70%)
+

+- Service registration (0%)
+
+❌ **Missing**:
+- Query optimization
+- Distributed transactions
+- Batch operations
+- Comprehensive AI error handling
+
+**Next Steps** (Weeks 4-5):
+1. Implement QueryService and QueryAnalyzer
+2. Complete plugin service registration
+3. Driver ecosystem audit and migration
+4. Add missing aggregate query support

+The core ORM and runtime engine for ObjectQL. This package handles object querying, CRUD operations, database driver coordination, transaction management, and **metadata-driven validation**. As of version 4.0.0, it wraps the **ObjectStackKernel** for plugin architecture and lifecycle management.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Unified Query Language**: A generic way to query data across different databases (SQL, Mongo, etc.).
-- **Repository Pattern**: `ObjectRepository` for managing object records.
-- **Driver Agnostic**: Abstraction layer for database drivers.
-- **Dynamic Schema**: Loads object definitions from metadata.
-- **Hooks & Actions**: Runtime logic injection.
-- **Validation Engine**: Metadata-driven validation with field-level, cross-field, and state machine rules.
+- **Plugin Architecture**: Built on top of `@objectstack/runtime` with kernel-based plugin system

+- **Validation Engine**: Metadata-driven validation with field-level, cross-field, and state machine rules
+- **Formula Engine**: Computed fields with dynamic formulas
+- **AI Integration**: Built-in AI agent capabilities
 
 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
-npm install @objectql/core @objectql/types
+npm install @objectql/core @objectql/types @objectstack/runtime @objectstack/spec
 ```
 
+## Architecture
+
+ObjectQL now wraps the `ObjectStackKernel` from `@objectstack/runtime`, providing:
+
+- **Kernel-based lifecycle management**: Initialization, startup, and shutdown
+- **Plugin system**: Extensible architecture with `ObjectQLPlugin`
+- **Enhanced features**: Repository, Validator, Formula, and AI capabilities as plugins
+
+See [RUNTIME_INTEGRATION.md](./RUNTIME_INTEGRATION.md) for detailed architecture documentation.

+### Accessing the Kernel
+
+For advanced use cases, you can access the underlying kernel:

+const kernel = objectql.getKernel();
+// Use kernel methods if needed
+```
+
 ### Validation System
 
 The validation system allows you to define validation rules in your object metadata and execute them programmatically.
