Replace the driver/session/action/event abstraction with a single OS-process supervisor thread and a minimal lifecycle-only public API.
- supervisor: add a dedicated swactor-process-supervisor thread that owns the child, runs it with null stdio, wakes via an eventfd plus poll(2), reaps with waitpid(WNOHANG), and escalates SIGTERM to SIGKILL after a deadline, reporting only lifecycle ThreadEvents over a SegQueue plus wake channel
- actor: collapse ProcessActor<D> into a non-generic state machine (Spawning/Running/Stopping/Done) that owns the supervisor handle, drains events on SupervisorWake, forwards lifecycle as ProcessOutput, and triggers shutdown_now in on_stop
- lifecycle: add ProcessOutputConfig (Disabled/DatastreamMirror) with a JSON proc.<label>.lifecycle mirror (schema swactor_process.lifecycle.v1), command-basename label derivation/sanitization, and an RAII reservation registry preventing duplicate channels
- message/types/spawn/lib: trim the API — ProcessCommand is now only Stop { kill_after }, ProcessOutput covers Started/SpawnFailed/Exited/Error, ProcessSpec keeps command/args/env/working_dir/label; re-export spawn_local_process/send_process_command and drop the custom-driver spawn_process
- removed: delete the action/event/local/mock/session modules and the ProcessDriver/ProcessWaker/EventQueue/PtySize/ProcessMode types plus the old test suite (actor_scenarios, e2e_process, local_driver, proptest_session, session_scenarios); add public_api_stage1/2 tests and the SWACTOR_MANAGED_PROCESS_SPEC.md
- swactor core: demote ProcessOutputObserver to a legacy/custom adapter (no longer auto-attached), remove Runtime::set_process_output_observer and Ctx::process_output_observer, and add the datastream dependency to the process crate for the mirror

Trim the datastream crate to its dumb-pipe core: drop the frame-timing sidecar, make mux positions gap-free for accepted frames, and simplify the endpoint fanout.
- mux: defer position assignment from submit to drain so an overflowed submission no longer consumes a position (no synthetic gaps); submit now returns bool and the Mutex<Receiver> is removed since positions are assigned only to accepted frames
- endpoint/mux: switch from std::sync::mpsc to crossbeam-channel and drop per-event event_matches_request filtering — request filters now apply only to the initial catalog snapshot, and future events broadcast to all subscribers
- endpoint (DeliveryFanout): snapshot sender handles under the lock and deliver outside it via FanoutTarget/FanoutReport, so large batches or slow subscribers no longer block subscribe/snapshot control-plane ops
- emit/endpoint/producer: drop set_frame_timing_enabled/frame_timing_enabled and the Position return from submit_record/submit_text/submit_bytes, and add submit_text_owned taking owned String
- timing/lib/spec: delete the timing module and FRAME_TIME_CHANNEL/FRAME_TIME_CHANNEL_ID/FrameTimeSample re-exports (including the auto-registered timing channel in ChannelCatalogState) and renumber the DATASTREAM_SPEC.md section references across frame/ingest/store/mux
- tests: remove the 567-line shared datastream_support/mod.rs harness

Stand up an interactive end-to-end chat over a CUDA GPU, provisioning a Dockerized node that loads a GGUF model and serves prompts over TCP.
- prompt_rpc: add the newline-JSON prompt protocol (`SubmitPrompt` + `PromptEvent::{TextDelta,Done,Fault}`) carried over TCP
- mvp_chat: add an interactive REPL client connecting to the prompt RPC port (default 127.0.0.1:19777)
- mvp_orch_one_node / mvp_one_node_chat: add the single-node orchestrator that provisions a `LocalDockerPlugin` node, loads `bartowski/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-GGUF` (Q4_K_M), and exposes the prompt RPC listener with boot/route/weight timeouts
- mvp_node: add the GPU worker binary that spawns `tinygrad_worker.py` (default device CUDA) and ships runtime telemetry via a `ClusterFrameSink`
- vastai_provisioning / bootstrap_datastream: add the vast.ai provider adapter (`VastAiProvisioningConfig`, `VastAiLeaseClient`) wrapping `swactor_vastai`, plus a bridge that folds provision stdout onto a per-node datastream
- apps/mvp-node: add CUDA base/runtime Dockerfiles (nvidia/cuda 12.6.3, tinygrad 0.12.0, sshd), `mvp_entrypoint.sh` (sshd + mvp-node, held for postmortem), `local_docker_e2e.sh`, the GGUF tinygrad worker, and one-node-chat/bootstrap/vastai guarantee tests

Promote pipeline-parallel-inference to a first-class app and consolidate observability on the datastream wire, decoupling the dashboard crate from `distribution`.
- apps/pipeline-parallel-inference: move the example out of `examples/` into `apps/` as its own workspace, rename binaries to `pp-worker`/`pp-orchestrator`, and strip release binaries
- cluster: add `ClusterNode`, a synchronous facade over the actorized distribution protocol (IrohDriver + per-node Runtime hosting Swim/Registry/Metadata/Directory actors with a `MembershipFanout`), replacing ad-hoc `driver.node()`/`tick()` call sites
- fleet: add per-node fleet telemetry that ships identity/resource records as `DatastreamFrame`s over the cluster transport to the orchestrator's `DatastreamSink`, folded into a `FleetView` on a 3s tick
- provision: add best-effort, opt-in SSH boot-phase telemetry (`PP_DEPLOY_KEY`) that streams rented-node boot logs onto the orchestrator's datastream as `proc.boot.<stage>.*`
- dashboard: rewire the crate dependency from `distribution` to `datastream`, drop the standalone `swactor-datastream-dashboard` binary, and rewrite `datastream_source.rs` to demux per-node frames into Overview/Distribution/Fleet views with live-node TTL filtering
- distribution: refresh dist/netmap plugin copy and README from "Kademlia routing" to gossip-directory terminology

- crates/datastore/src/pool: add PoolDisseminator (CRDT state for membership/capacity/content-location/ACL with join/leave/announce) and PoolCoordinator (placement-aware CRUD actor delegating to the co-located DatastoreNode)
- crates/shared-types/src/pool.rs: add shared pool protocol types (PoolId plus member/capacity/content-location/ACL entries and PoolConfig) consumed by both distribution and datastore
- crates/dashboard/src/pool_html.rs: add a live pool dashboard page (membership, capacity, content locations) and add pool_tests integration coverage
- xtask/src/sim_cluster.rs: add the sim-cluster runner that spawns N swactor nodes over iroh through a local relay server, reusing the docker cluster scenarios without Docker

Harden the WASM actor host against malformed guest modules and add a property-test-backed suite covering builder validation, message handling, allocation, trap recovery, and native interop.
- crates/wasm-actor/src/actor.rs: bounds-check the guest memory write against the alloc-returned pointer (saturating_add plus OOB guard) so an out-of-bounds allocation drops the message instead of panicking the host
- crates/wasm-actor/src/actor.rs: clear the host outbox when the guest handle traps, discarding partial sends from the incomplete operation while keeping the actor alive
- crates/wasm-actor/tests/wasm_actor.rs: add a comprehensive suite covering builder validation (missing exports, invalid wasm, disabled features), echo round-trip, alloc trap/exhaustion recovery, send boundary conditions, full lifecycle, and wasm<->native interop/relay/watch scenarios
- crates/wasm-actor/tests/wasm_actor.rs: add proptest cases (builder fuzz, arbitrary-payload echo, arbitrary alloc returns, send-arg fuzz, lifecycle fuzz) and assert Send/Sync of the error types
- crates/wasm-actor/Cargo.toml: pull in proptest as a dev-dependency

Split the monolithic crate into a Cargo workspace with the Python and Wasm bindings as separate member crates.
- Cargo.toml: declare a `[workspace]` with members `.`/`crates/swactor-python`/`crates/swactor-wasm`, remove the `python` feature and pyo3 dependency, and change root crate-type from `["cdylib","rlib"]` to `["rlib"]`
- crates/swactor-python: new cdylib crate re-exporting the PyO3 bindings (Runtime/RuntimeConfig/RuntimeHandle/Inbox/Ctx/ActorAddress/RuntimeStats), depending on `swactor` + pyo3; pyproject.toml and uv.lock relocated here from the root
- crates/swactor-wasm: new cdylib crate moved from top-level `wasm/`, depending on `swactor` with `no_random` features
- src/actor.rs: widen `Actor::new`, `AnyActor`, `ContextInner`, and `Ctx::raw_inner` to `pub` so the separate binding crates can drive the runtime
- src/lib.rs: delete the in-tree `python` module and `#[pymodule]`, and gate the `no_random` RNG behind `all(feature = "no_random", not(feature = "getrandom"))`
- tools/: relocate package.json/package-lock.json; drop the now-duplicate `wasm/Cargo.lock`
