Cline Runtime Orchestrator: Attach & Owned Mode Management
Cline adds runtime orchestrator with attach/owned mode lifecycle management, health probing, and crash detection. Control runtime startup, restart, and shutdown via new connect/restart/shutdown API.
TL;DR
- Runtime lifecycle management with attach mode (external runtime) and owned mode (spawned child process)
- Health probing with configurable intervals and crash detection in attach mode
- New API: connect(), restart(), shutdown(), getUrl() for runtime control
New
- Attach mode — Connect to an already-running runtime at 127.0.0.1:3484 with configurable health probe intervals and failure thresholds
- Transient-failure reset window — Automatically recovers from temporary hiccups without triggering a full crash event
- Owned mode — Spawn and manage the runtime as a child process via RuntimeChildManager, delegating lifecycle to the child manager's crash detection
- Runtime API — connect() boots or attaches, restart() gracefully reconnects, shutdown() stops owned runtime, getUrl() returns current URL or null
- Crash detection — Emits 'crashed' event when runtime becomes unreachable in attach mode or via child manager in owned mode
Dependencies
- Depends on PR #372a (window primitives)
- Next: PR #372c (protocol handling + main wiring)
