Integrate namespace and source-route lifecycle changes, contextual process cleanup, Python binding updates, and Myelin worker/orchestrator recovery. Keep the shared control contracts, deployment identity fencing, SSH bootstrap adapters, paid admission accounting, and VastAI cleanup implementation together with their consumers.

Migrate Iroh dependencies and telemetry transport/collection with dashboard and demo callsites, workspace build configuration, and actor-control-flow policy updates. This is an intermediate development checkpoint, not paid-provider qualification.

Review verification: contextual_process_guarantees (4 tests), telemetry_transport (4 tests), and shared control contracts (5 tests) passed. Historical five-node redeployment and campaign execution passed individually; complete ordered qualification remains pending.

iroh-driver

iroh-driver is the iroh-backed transport bridge for the actorized distribution stack. It owns the concrete iroh endpoint, QUIC connections, relay configuration, peer authorization, and frame shuttling between iroh and swactor actor mailboxes.

Engine ownership

The driver runs on a caller-supplied swactor EngineHandle — the single engine that owns the node's Tokio substrate. All accepts, reads, dials, writes, retries, and teardown are scheduled through that handle; the driver stores no raw Tokio handle and performs no ambient-runtime detection (ENGINE_SPEC.md §7).

let driver = IrohDriver::with_engine(engine.handle(), config)?;

The driver validates that the engine provides the tasks, timers, and io capabilities before binding the endpoint or starting any background work (ENGINE_SPEC.md). Endpoint construction runs as an engine-hosted task; with_engine blocks on a synchronous channel until the endpoint is bound (or fails), so callers need not enter or possess the raw substrate runtime.

Engine-hosted progression

All adapter progression — actor-bridge ingress/egress, telemetry ingress, and edge ingress — is driven by an engine-hosted interval pump installed via install_actor_bridge_pump. Applications do not (and cannot) manually pump these adapters; the single engine owns progression for the node's lifetime (ENGINE_SPEC.md). snapshot is a pure-synchronous read of driver state, callable from any thread. The shutdown method closes the endpoint via an engine-hosted task, blocking on a synchronous channel until completion.
