Core Runtime

EngineNet.Core is the runtime layer behind all interfaces. It provides loading, context assembly, placeholder resolution, and operation execution.

Core Responsibilities

• Track runtime state shared by CLI, TUI, and GUI.
• Discover modules from registries and game directories.
• Load operation manifests from operations.toml or operations.json.
• Collect prompt answers and combine with defaults.
• Build execution context from engine config, module metadata, and config.toml placeholders.
• Resolve placeholders recursively in operation payloads.
• Dispatch operations to built-in handlers and script engines.

Runtime Area Map

• Engine/: operation execution entry points
• Services/: operation loading, command execution, launcher, and registry services
• Data/: runtime models
• Utils/: execution context and placeholder resolvers
• Serialization/: TOML, JSON, and YAML parsing helpers
• ExternalTools/: tool acquisition and resolution support

Interface Boundary

Interfaces call into core through a narrowed contract exposed by Interface.Main. This protects UI layers from direct deep coupling to runtime internals.
