The shipped backend of the code-execution seam, per the Code Mode RFC's
worker-thread section: one fresh Node worker per run, executing the
model's TypeScript after a host-side type-strip (wrapped in an
async-function shell so top-level return/await parse, sliced back out
position-preserved), bindings bridged over the message port under
hostile-peer rules (own-property name lookup, at-most-once replies,
post-settlement drops, null-prototype namespaces), logs streamed eagerly
with an in-band truncation marker, and two independent budgets — measured
event-loop busy time (computeMs) plus a never-pausing wall ceiling
(maxWallMs) — funneling into worker.terminate(). env: {} and execArgv: []
keep the isolate hermetic; disposal aborts in-flight runs and awaits
worker exits.
The worker entry loads unbuilt via Node's native type stripping
(src/worker.ts, erasable-only) and ships built as a sibling tsdown bundle
(lib/worker.js); tests/built-lib.e2e.ts pins the built load path under
plain node and joins the built-artifact smoke gate. Unit suites cover the
bootstrap in-process (fake port) and the runtime over real workers,
per-file 100%.

# code-runtime/ — code-execution capability family
|
|
|
|
The code-execution capability seam (see [capability seams](../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md)): an abstract runtime interface for executing one model-written program against host-provided async bindings, capturing what it printed and returned. The consumer is the tool registry's Code Mode, specified alongside the seam in the [Code Mode RFC](../../docs/rfc/proposed/feature/2026-06-15-code-mode.md). **Product** packages.

| Package | Role | ctx key |

|
| `code-runtime/` | Abstract code-execution seam (interface + vocabulary) | `ctx.codeRuntime` |
|
|
| [`code-runtime-worker/`](code-runtime-worker/README.md) | Worker-thread backend: fresh worker per run, TypeScript via host-side type-strip, port-bridged bindings, budget/heap containment | registers `ctx.codeRuntime` |
|
|
|
|
The interface lives at `code-runtime/code-runtime/`; the shipped backend at `code-runtime/code-runtime-worker/`. Backends differ by execution substrate (worker thread, process, container) and by source language — both readonly descriptors on the service — and register `ctx.codeRuntime` without touching the interface or its consumer; that split is what makes a hardened backend a drop-in later.
