Introduce a gossip-converged pooled datastore protocol layered on SWIM piggybacking, backed by a reusable gossip-channel abstraction, plus a Docker-free multi-process cluster test runner.
- crates/distribution/src/gossip_channel.rs: add the GossipChannel trait (piggyback on SWIM messages) and a budget-limited DisseminationBuffer<T> that replaces the four duplicated Lambda*ceil(log2(n)) dissemination copies
- 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
- crates/distribution/src/iroh_driver.rs: add relay-URL resolution (cache, then SWIM gossip, then home relay) with a 2s connect timeout to back the relay-based connections

Crates continued to grow in number, but most are still quite small and feature specific. This refactor consolidates them.

Extract the timer wheel and watch registry from the worker into a reusable std-extension crate, generalize the worker around a RuntimeExtension factory, and decompose the monolithic runtime test file into focused suites.
- crates/std: extract TimerWheel (deterministic tick-counted one-shot/interval timers) and WatchRegistry (target-to-watcher death-notification index) out of src/worker.rs into reusable modules
- crates/std: add Ctx extension traits (CtxMonitoring, CtxNaming, CtxWatching, CtxTimers) and Runtime extension traits (RuntimeNaming, RuntimeWatching, RuntimeGroups) wiring monitor/name/watch/timer/group support
- src/worker.rs: replace the hard-coded timer/watch fields with a generic RuntimeExtension factory and add route_to_pool_or_remote for message routing (local pool, then cross-worker address map, then external inboxes)
- tests: split the 4622-line tests/runtime_api.rs into focused suites (actor_lifecycle, message_delivery, runtime_stress, std_extension) plus a shared tests/common/mod.rs harness, and drop watch_api.rs
- benches/fuzz: add runtime_benchmarks and adjust the runtime fuzz target
- tools/docs: add fn_complexity.py and loc_analysis.py analysis scripts and refresh the runtime and worker-thread docs

Adds some more polish to the dashboard. Further modification will have to wait until swactor is used for more complex projects.

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

Stand up a runnable distribution stack on top of the core node logic.
- distribution: add NodeDriver bridging DistributedNode to real TCP I/O
(TcpTransport/TcpAcceptor), translating NodeActions to/from wire messages;
refine swim probe timing and transport wiring.
- node: new swactor-node binary (crates/node) hosting a real node over TCP.
- tests/docker: multi-host LAN cluster harness (compose, run-lan-cluster.sh,
cluster + lan_cluster integration tests) exercising the full SWIM path.
- simulation: cluster_scenarios integration + distribution property coverage.
- docs: reorganize into distribution/, runtime/, diagrams/, connectome/; add
DOCKER_REALIZATION + SIMULATION_TESTING realization notes.

Lay down the wasm-actor host, a frontend-agnostic command layer, and a
distribution registry.
- command (new crate): CommandRouter dispatching to built-in inspection handlers
(overview/workers/actors) plus user-registered handlers, with line and
query-param parsers; built for REPL/REST/TUI/WebSocket frontends.
- wasm-actor (new crate): skeleton host — WasmActor, Builder, Engine, error
types — with echo/double/silent guest fixtures and integration tests.
- distribution: add Registry (member catalog + lookups) and Snapshot, with tests.
- core: extend the worker watch API; add watch_api integration tests.

Adds the std crate on top of the core runtime: Supervisor with RestartPolicy
(Permanent/Transient/Temporary) and SupervisorStrategy (OneForOne/OneForAll/
RestForOne), Router with RoutingStrategy, name/monitor/group registries, StdExtension,
and Ctx/Runtime extension traits. Also extends core (worker, actor, delivery identity
hashing, config, stats), adds a fuzz target, a proptest suite, expands runtime_api
tests, and adds cfuzz cycle notes + benchmarks.

Make mailbox push infallible and replace the locked tick-timing buffer with a
lock-free ring.
- channel: HybridChannel::push and Sender::send now return () — overflow always
absorbs, never rejects — dropping the Result<(), T> surface and its callers.
- stats: tick_timings moves from Mutex<VecDeque> to a lock-free crossbeam
ArrayQueue (drop-oldest-on-full), removing the per-tick lock.
- ripple the signature change through worker/runtime/config; drop worker_benchmarks.
- expand runtime_api tests around the new channel/stats shapes.

Add a data-parallel MNIST training example where swactor actors coordinate gradient averaging across workers.
- crates/swactor-dp-mnist/worker.py: add `MnistNet` MLP and `MnistWorker` actor handling `train_batch`/`update`/`evaluate`/`save_model` over a sharded MNIST split with SGD
- crates/swactor-dp-mnist/aggregator.py: add `Aggregator` actor that buffers per-worker gradients, averages them, fans out updates, then logs/evaluates on completion
- crates/swactor-dp-mnist/run_training.py: spawn the Aggregator plus two MnistWorkers (identical initial weights, disjoint shards), run 750 rounds, and poll the inbox for `log`/`done`
- crates/swactor-dp-mnist/pyproject.toml: declare torch/torchvision/numpy deps, an editable local `swactor` source, and the PyTorch CPU index
- Cargo.toml: add a `[profile.bench]` retaining debug symbols (`debug = true`, `strip = false`) for profiling

- crates/runtime-dashboard/examples/bench_dashboard.rs: add an example driving sink/ring/spawner load scenarios through `start_dashboard`/`DashboardConfig` for sustained cross-worker visualization

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`
