-# Temporary Holding Version
+# @steerable/agent-runtime
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+The official TypeScript production runtime for the Steerable framework.
+
+Python is the only production implementation of the framework's harness and
+CoreLoop. This package is how a pure-TypeScript product runs it in
+production: it owns the embedded Python sidecar process (spawn, ready
+handshake, health ping, bounded auto-restart, graceful drain) and exposes
+the CoreLoop-level API over the sidecar's JSON-RPC surface. You never write
+subprocess management, and because the TS runtime drives the same Python
+CoreLoop the server uses, there is no second implementation to drift.
+
+## Install & prerequisites
+
+```sh
+npm install @steerable/agent-runtime
+```
+
+npm also installs one `@steerable/runtime-<target>` package for your platform,
+as an optional dependency of this package. It carries the Python sidecar, the
+`run_code` interpreter and the egress proxy, so nothing else has to be
+installed.
+
+The interpreter resolves in this order:
+
+1. the `python` option, then `STEERABLE_SIDECAR_PYTHON`
+2. the platform package installed above
+3. a framework checkout's `.venv` (so an example inside the repo runs from
+   source)
+4. `STEERABLE_PYTHON`, then `python3` on `PATH`
+
+Point at a specific interpreter with the `python` option when you ship your own
+runtime. `resolveRuntimePython()` exposes the same resolution if you need to
+report it.
+
+Each platform package carries a `runtime.json` with SHA-256 digests for its
+files; the interpreter and proxy are verified the first time they are used, and
+a mismatch refuses to start rather than running a modified binary.
+
+## Upgrading from 0.8
+
+- The interpreter now comes from the platform package instead of
+  `STEERABLE_PYTHON` or the system `python3`. Existing overrides still win.
+- `engines.node` is `>=22.19.0`; the package no longer requires Node 26.
+- This package is published to npm, so remove any `link:` specifier pointing at
+  a framework checkout.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```ts
+import { AgentRuntime } from '@steerable/agent-runtime';
+
+const runtime = new AgentRuntime({
+  tools: {
+    // Host tools the CoreLoop may call back over the reverse channel.
+    read_file: async ({ path }) => ({ success: true, result: await readFile(String(path), 'utf8') }),
+  },
+});
+await runtime.start();
+
+const session = await runtime.createSession({ chatId: 'chat-1', userId: 'me' });
+const turn = await runtime.chatStream({
+  provider: 'openai_compat',
+  model: 'deepseek-chat',
+  baseUrl: process.env.LLM_BASE_URL,
+  apiKey: process.env.LLM_API_KEY,
+  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'hello' }],
+});
+
+for await (const event of turn.events) {
+  // content | tool_call | tool_result | usage | orchestration | done | error
+}
+const { status, cancelled } = await turn.done;
+
+await runtime.close();
+```
+
+## API map
+
+| Runtime API | Sidecar RPC |
+| --- | --- |
+| `start()` / `close()` | process lifecycle + `system.shutdown` |
+| `ping()` | `system.ping` |
+| `createSession` / `resumeSession` / `listSessions` | `agent.session.*` |
+| `forkSession` / `sessionBranches` | `agent.session.fork` / `agent.session.branches` |
+| `sessionMessages` | `agent.session.messages` |
+| `chatStream` / `cancelChat` / `steerChat` / `forkChat` | `agent.chat.*` |
+| `listTools` / `invokeTool` | `tool.list` / `tool.invoke` |
+| `listSkills` | `skills.list` |
+| `applyEdits` | `workspace.apply_edits` |
+| `fetchTrace` / `exportTrace` / `exportMetrics` | `trace.fetch` / `trace.export` / `metrics.export` |
+| `getConfig` / `setConfig` | `config.get` / `config.set` |
+
+The full wire contract is [docs/spec/sidecar.md](../../../docs/spec/sidecar.md).
+A CI gate (`test/surface.test.ts`) asserts this surface matches the methods
+the Python sidecar registers — the two cannot drift.
+
+`chatStream` defaults `useCoreLoop: true` on the request: the runtime's
+API (cooperative cancel, steer, orchestration) only exists on the sidecar's
+CoreLoop path. Pass `useCoreLoop: false` to opt into the legacy
+direct-stream path explicitly.
+
+## Testing
+
+Unit tests run against `test/fake-sidecar.mjs` (a Node script speaking the
+wire protocol). `test/e2e-real-sidecar.test.ts` is a true end-to-end gate:
+it spawns the **real** Python sidecar from the repo's uv venv and drives a
+full tool-calling turn — CoreLoop → OpenAI-compatible HTTP → local mock
+server → reverse-channel `tool.invoke` → second LLM round — plus a
+cooperative-cancel run. It self-skips when `.venv` cannot import
+`steerable_sidecar` (run `uv sync` at the repo root to enable).
+
+## React UI
+
+`@steerable/agent-ui` hooks consume the runtime directly:
+
+```tsx
+import { createChatStreamTransport, createSessionTransport } from '@steerable/agent-runtime';
+import { useChatStream, useAgentSession } from '@steerable/agent-ui';
+
+const sessionTransport = createSessionTransport(runtime);
+const chatTransport = createChatStreamTransport(runtime, {
+  sessionId: () => currentSessionId,
+  params: { provider: 'openai_compat', model: 'deepseek-chat' },
+});
+```
+
+## Lifecycle semantics
+
+- **Ready handshake** — `start()` resolves only after `lifecycle.ready` and a
+  `system.ping` round-trip; a half-booted process never answers requests.
+- **Auto-restart** — an unexpected exit of a *fully booted* process triggers
+  up to `maxRestarts` restarts with exponential backoff; boot failures are
+  not retried (they are almost always deterministic). Requests made while
+  down reject fast with `SidecarNotReadyError`.
+- **Graceful close** — `close()` sends `system.shutdown`, waits, then
+  escalates SIGTERM → SIGKILL. A close during a restart cycle suppresses the
+  pending restart.
+- **Cancellation** — `cancelChat(streamId)` is cooperative: the CoreLoop
+  winds down at the next safe point and the terminal `done` event still
+  arrives with `status: 'cancelled'`.
