@tryinget/pi-runtime-registry

Shared runtime instance registry for pi-interaction extensions.

Purpose

Provides a central place for registering and discovering runtime instances across extensions. Extensions can:

• Register their runtime instances with capability descriptors
• Discover runtimes by owner or capability
• Query registry state for diagnostics

Usage

import { createRuntimeRegistry, getGlobalRuntimeRegistry } from "@tryinget/pi-runtime-registry";

// Use the global singleton for cross-extension discovery
const registry = getGlobalRuntimeRegistry();

// Register a runtime with capabilities
registry.register(
  "my-extension",
  "main-runtime",
  myRuntimeInstance,
  [
    { id: "picker", description: "Fuzzy picker interactions" },
    { id: "editor", description: "Editor ownership" }
  ]
);

// Find runtimes by capability
const pickerRuntimes = registry.findByCapability("picker");

// Get diagnostics
console.log(registry.diagnostics());

API

createRuntimeRegistry(options?)

Create a new registry instance.

getGlobalRuntimeRegistry()

Get the process-wide singleton registry for cross-extension discovery.
