SharpClaw.ModuleHost.InProcess

SharpClaw.ModuleHost.InProcess supports the opt-in in-process .NET module host path for SharpClaw. It provides ModuleLoadContext, a collectible assembly load context that loads a module entry DLL from its module directory while delegating host-owned contracts back to the default load context. That keeps interfaces such as ISharpClawCoreModule shared between the host and the loaded module instead of accidentally loading a second copy of the contract assembly.

Out-of-process hosting is the normal SharpClaw module execution model. In-process hosting is a limited mode for hosts that deliberately enable it and can accept its tighter coupling to the host process. Reference this package when you are writing SharpClaw runtime code, a test harness, or an explicitly in-process host adapter that needs to load a module DLL directly.

The smallest in-process host shape creates one load context for the module entry assembly, loads the assembly through that context, and then finds the module type using the shared contract interfaces already loaded by the host.

using System.Reflection;
using SharpClaw.Contracts.Modules;
using SharpClaw.ModuleHost.InProcess;

var entryAssemblyPath = Path.Combine(moduleDirectory, "MyModule.dll");
var loadContext = new ModuleLoadContext(entryAssemblyPath);
var assembly = loadContext.LoadFromAssemblyPath(Path.GetFullPath(entryAssemblyPath));

var moduleType = assembly.GetTypes()
    .Single(type => type.IsAssignableTo(typeof(ISharpClawCoreModule)) && !type.IsAbstract);

Use a separate ModuleLoadContext for each loaded module instance. When the module is unloaded, release references to objects and types from that assembly before calling Unload; the runtime can only collect the context after those references are gone.
