Runtime Config Contracts¶

Runtime config contracts define the stable expectations around server configuration inputs and validation behavior.

Runtime Config Contract Scope¶

    RuntimeConfig[Runtime config] --> Flags[Flags]
    RuntimeConfig --> Env[Environment variables]
    RuntimeConfig --> Schema[Config schema]

This scope diagram shows the parts of runtime configuration Atlas treats as contract-sensitive: documented flags, supported environment variables, and configuration-schema behavior.

Contract Logic¶

flowchart TD
    Invalid[Invalid config] --> Reject[Validation should reject]
    Valid[Valid config] --> Start[Runtime may start]

This contract logic emphasizes fail-closed validation. Atlas should reject malformed or contradictory runtime input rather than silently inventing a meaning for it.

Main Promise¶

Atlas should validate explicit runtime configuration rather than silently accepting malformed or contradictory input.

Purpose¶

This page defines the Atlas contract expectations for runtime config contracts. Use it when you need the explicit compatibility promise rather than a workflow narrative.

Stability¶

This page is part of the checked-in contract surface. Changes here should stay aligned with tests, generated artifacts, and release evidence.
