CLI readiness

CONCEPTUAL DOCUMENTATION

Runtime is in development. These guides explain design intent; they are not a released API or installation reference. Read the release policy →

There is no public Runtime CLI distribution on this site. No zernova commands, package coordinates, flags, exit codes, or installation paths are specified. Do not infer a command interface from the product name.

A release-specific CLI reference needs a reproducible installation procedure and a tested compatibility matrix. Each documented command must identify required inputs, side effects, output, failure reporting, and exit status.

Area Required evidence
Installation Verified artifact, authenticity and integrity procedure
Validation Valid and invalid input fixtures, stable diagnostics
Execution Lifecycle, shutdown, interruption, and failure behavior
Automation Non-interactive operation and machine-readable results where supported
Secrets Safe input methods and redaction behavior

Document the workflow you need rather than inventing commands. For example: validate an integration without remote side effects, run a local test with isolated credentials, and identify why execution failed.

The future command reference should show commands copied directly from release tests. Examples need to run from a clean directory with stated prerequisites. Dangerous or externally visible actions need to be identified before execution.

The downloads page will identify approved artifacts when they exist. The release lifecycle describes the publication checklist. Local commands for developing this public website belong in the web repository README and do not imply a Runtime CLI.
