Request lifecycle
Complete real-image coverage for suspension, timeout, cancellation, disconnect, ranges, streaming, and slow-client backpressure.
Status and roadmap
Pre-1.0
0.2.0 development line
Latest tag v0.1.0
These documentation pages track the current main branch. Hoplite’s latest
tagged binary release is v0.1.0;
the source tree and documentation are now on the 0.2.0 development line. Features
labelled Current main are not a promise that the same interface exists in an
installed v0.1.0 binary.
The tagged release is published through standalone macOS and Linux binaries,
Homebrew distribution, and the ghcr.io/greenways-ai/hoplite OCI image. The
current source line remains suitable for application and integration work, while
interfaces may still change before 1.0.
Current-main platform matrix
Section titled “Current-main platform matrix”| Area | Current status |
|---|---|
| macOS arm64 | Supported standalone binary and Homebrew formula |
| macOS Intel | Supported standalone binary and Homebrew formula |
| Linux arm64 | Supported standalone binary, Homebrew formula, and OCI image |
| Linux x86-64 | Supported standalone binary, Homebrew formula, and OCI image |
| Embedded Nginx | Statically linked into the standalone executable |
| Embedded realtime fan-out | Nchan-backed bounded ephemeral WebSocket/SSE channels; experimental application surface |
| WebRTC | Worker-local SDP negotiation and protocol-composed stream transport through hoplite.rtc; experimental |
| Hara application bytecode | Deterministic HBX0 modules carried in a manifest-bound HAB0 envelope |
| Streaming responses | Backpressured native bodies from IStream or finite iterable sources |
| Production startup | Source-free, transactional worker bootstrap with reload and fresh-recreation evidence |
| Operator diagnostics | Public source-free verify, inspect, and local-environment doctor commands |
| Portable host providers | Fixed worker-local registry with bounded HTA request and completion contracts |
| Historical products | Authority, blob, value, store, provider, and migration implementations retired on the 0.2.0 line |
| Authentication | Application-owned HAL policy; no default account, session, or management service |
Active milestones
Section titled “Active milestones”Realtime conformance
Extend real-image evidence for bounded Nchan signalling, RTC negotiation, UDP readiness, cancellation, close, and multi-worker failure boundaries.
Request diagnostics
Give request-time failures the same stable, actionable, path-redacted treatment as generated-application diagnostics.
Public conformance
Add positive behavioral evidence and closed failure handling for every remaining published application and embedding surface.
Generic boundary
Keep downstream authority and storage products outside Hoplite while preserving generic ownership and lifecycle invariants.
Reviewed alpha release
Protect main with the permanent checks and publish binaries, image, formula, docs, and reproducible evidence from one reviewed tag.
Current documentation
Section titled “Current documentation”The published documentation covers the current source-free production split,
HAB0/HBX0/HBC0 application artifacts, provider-neutral request and response
boundaries, bounded native response sources, Nchan channel declarations, and the
worker-local hoplite.rtc session API. Experimental surfaces are labelled and
remain free to change during the current alpha epoch.
Follow the project
Section titled “Follow the project”Performance claims should remain tied to reproducible published benchmarks.
