Runtime Glue Overview

[!NOTE] Guide, Not Protocol Definition

This page describes an implementation-side runtime concept. It does not define a frozen MPLP specification layer and it does not override repaired specification/reference pages.

1. Purpose​

This guide explains how teams may think about runtime glue when connecting protocol artifacts to runtime behavior.

In this docs set, "runtime glue" is only a guide-level label for implementation coordination across concepts such as:

  • protocol object artifacts
  • runtime-side state handling
  • runtime-side event emission
  • implementation-side recovery or adaptation logic

2. Boundary​

Runtime glue is downstream of the repaired protocol baseline:

  1. read Modules Overview first
  2. read Profiles Overview next
  3. read Observability Overview next
  4. only then use runtime guides such as this page

This page does not define:

  • PSG as a protocol core object
  • VSL or AEL as frozen protocol interfaces
  • drift or rollback as protocol-mandated algorithms
  • a required runtime architecture

3. Guide-Level Use​

Teams may use a runtime-glue layer to:

  • connect protocol artifacts to runtime data structures
  • organize event emission around repaired observability sources
  • isolate implementation-specific coordination code from protocol artifacts
  • keep runtime-specific behavior subordinate to repaired protocol semantics

5. References​

Final Boundary: runtime glue is an implementation-side guide concept only. It is not part of the frozen protocol SSOT.
