bitruntime

The Go and TypeScript implementation of the Bitwire contract. It provides:

• operators;
• transports and carriers;
• the protocol engine;
• the invocation lifecycle;
• dispatch;
• live references;
• tunnels.

Status: chartered 26 September 2026 by Bitwire decision 0010; no code yet. Until bitruntime delivers, frozen Nightseam v0.6.0 is the implementation in use.

Where it sits

bitruntime  →  Bitwire (the contract, the protocol and carrier specifications, conformance)

• Bitwire says what a Wire must do. bitruntime does it.
• Bitwire's conformance cases judge bitruntime as an external implementation, written from the specification and never recorded from this code.
• What bitruntime depends on. Bitwire, and in separate modules, the libraries a transport needs.
• What it does not depend on. The contract language (bittype), the adapters (Bitlink), or Nightseam.
