Replace pointwise scenario testing with a reusable conformance kit in
tests/common: a deterministic trace harness (input alphabet, seeded
generator, naive shrinker), an invariant oracle covering twenty black-box
guarantees (identity, correlation, dead-hold, attempt-fact ownership,
quiescence no-op, monotonic generation, fair convergence, bounded
replacement), and a fair-scheduler tail asserting eventual reconciliation.
Three conformance levels run the same battery:
- FakeBackend: the reference in-memory substrate (256 seeds x 2 modes)
- PluginBackendAdapter over FakePlugin: seam contracts plus the battery
- ProcessPlugin: real child processes, faults as real signals/errors;
"no double-create" and "converged leaks nothing" verified by counting
live PIDs (16 seeds)
Also documents two seam findings the battery surfaced: ProvisionPlugin
cannot express ambiguity (kit convention: AMBIGUOUS_FAULT_MARKER error
reclassified by the adapter; definite classification leaks provider
resources) and spawn_effect closures form a spawner Arc cycle that leaks
backends under queue-based spawners (kit breaks it at harness drop).
Add project licensing and a full README, plus a minimal WebAssembly ping-pong example that exercises the actor runtime.
- `LICENSE`: add the full GNU AGPL-3.0 text and set `license = "AGPL-3.0-only"` on every package (`swactor`, each crate, `apps/myelin`, `tools/vastai`, `xtask`)
- `README.md`: rewrite from a stub into a full project overview, covering features (actor_id routing, WASM, iroh QUIC/SWIM, OTP-style std, process manager, zero-copy objects, datastream metrics, dashboard), architecture, examples, developing, status, and license
- `examples/ping-pong`: new standalone workspace (`pingpong` cdylib) where two actors volley on a single-threaded `wasm` runtime driven by a Node host via `tick()`, demonstrating spawning, message passing, and death monitoring (`watching`)
- `examples/ping-pong`: add a host/run harness -- `run.sh` (wasm-pack build + `run.mjs`), `serve.sh` (dashboard + static demo), `index.html`, and a pinned `Cargo.lock`
- `.gitignore`: stop ignoring `.loop/`, `.deployment-notes/`, and `.omp/`

- Split arena/ring/object-record into a new data-plane crate and node/plugin contracts
into a provisioning crate.
- Reorganize mvp-system into orchestration, staging, node, chat, and worker modules;
extract binaries into chat/runtime and node/worker_node_runtime.
- Add MVP_SYSTEM_MODULE_BOUNDARY_SPEC.
