 /**
- * Returns a structured-cloneable `Fetcher` stub for the `RuntimeApi`
- * WorkerEntrypoint. The stub goes into the per-graphHash play Worker's
- * `env.RUNTIME_API`. When the harness calls `env.RUNTIME_API.fetch(req)`,
- * the request is RPC-dispatched into the `RuntimeApi.fetch` method on the
- * coordinator side, which path-allowlists it and forwards to
- * `DEEPLINE_API_BASE_URL` directly. Skips the public *.workers.dev → CF
- * edge → cloudflared → localhost chain that the harness's old
- * `fetch(req.baseUrl + path)` path traverses.
- *
- * Implemented as a WorkerEntrypoint (not a plain closure) because Cloudflare
- * Workflows serializes the dynamic Worker's env when persisting workflow
- * state, and closures containing captured locals aren't
- * structured-cloneable. WorkerEntrypoint stubs ARE cloneable — same trick
- * `makePlayAssetsBinding` already uses.
- *
- * Falls back transparently when Cloudflare does not expose module exports in
- * the current execution path: if the binding is omitted from `env`, the play
- * worker uses its existing `fetch(req.baseUrl + path)` transport.
+ * Returns a structured-cloneable runtime API binding for the per-graphHash
+ * play Worker's `env.RUNTIME_API`. We intentionally pass the long-lived
+ * HARNESS WorkerEntrypoint service binding instead of a plain closure: the
+ * dynamic Worker env is serialized by Cloudflare Workflows, and service
+ * bindings are cloneable while closures are not. The per-play runtime accepts
+ * this binding via `runtimeApiCall(...)`, so callbacks still stay on
+ * service bindings and never fall back to public HTTP.
