Runic.Application

Runic.Application owns the generated runic.application/1 composition manifest and the minimal host that consumes it. Declare application facts at the assembly boundary, then keep the entry point small:

await RunicApplication.CreateBuilder(args).Build().RunAsync();

The manifest is the application composition authority. Hosts, testing, tooling, and publishers consume it; they do not rebuild it from parallel configuration. ApplicationHost.Capabilities projects only the manifest-declared capability names. A host must report each status explicitly; hosts without a capability projection, and unconfigured headless capabilities, are unavailable with a stable reason.

The former RunicToolkit.Hosting, RunicToolkit.Desktop, RunicToolkit.Hosting.Abstractions, and RunicToolkit.Hosting.Generators packages are preview identities. Move to Runic.Application; builds that still reference a preview identity receive RAPP0001 with this migration destination.

For macOS embedded Desktop applications, enter through synchronous ApplicationHost.Run() on the process main thread. The selected Desktop host implements IApplicationMainThreadHost and services AppKit while the asynchronous application starts, runs and releases native resources:

var builder = RunicApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.UseDesktop(options);
var application = builder.Build();
try { application.Run(); }
finally { application.DisposeAsync().AsTask().GetAwaiter().GetResult(); }

The entry point must reach Run() before any asynchronous continuation moves it off the process main thread. RunAsync() remains available for hosts with no main-thread requirement or an externally managed compatible native event loop.
