Runner Standard

Scope

This manual defines the standard edge-runner baseline used by SpectraStrike.

Standard Baseline

• Edge runner implementation standard: Go runner (src/runner-go)
• Runtime isolation standard: Firecracker microVM backend
• Manifest signature verification standard: Ed25519 (alg=EdDSA)
• Telemetry output contract: CloudEvents + manifest binding

Operational Notes

• Dev/CI can use simulated Firecracker launch behavior.
• Hardened environments should use native Firecracker/jailer mode with host prerequisites.
• Any deviation from this baseline must be explicitly documented and approved.

Validation Commands

cd src/runner-go
GOCACHE=../../.gocache go test ./...

cd ../../
PYTHONPATH=src .venv/bin/pytest -q \
  tests/unit/test_universal_edge_runner.py \
  tests/unit/test_firecracker_microvm_runner.py
