SharpClaw.ModuleHost.OutOfProcess

SharpClaw.ModuleHost.OutOfProcess is the default .NET module host path for SharpClaw. SharpClaw starts the host executable in a separate process for one module directory, passes the module directory and private control endpoint through protocol environment variables, and communicates with the module over the SharpClaw foreign-module protocol. The host loads the module entry assembly, validates the module identity declared in module.json, exposes lifecycle and tool endpoints, and proxies host capabilities such as tasks, providers, module storage, and agent operations back to the parent SharpClaw runtime.

A practical .NET module package is a module DLL plus module.json in the module directory. The manifest names the module, declares its tool prefix, points at the entry assembly, and selects the out-of-process .NET host mode. SharpClaw then runs the module through this host process. In-process hosting exists only as an opt-in, limited mode for hosts that explicitly enable it; module authors should expect out-of-process hosting to be the normal execution model.

  "runtime": {
    "name": "dotnet",
    "hostMode": "sidecar"
  }
}

The current manifest value for the out-of-process .NET host is sidecar because that is the protocol value already understood by SharpClaw. The package name uses OutOfProcess to describe the host role developers interact with: the module runs outside the parent SharpClaw process, receives a private control token, and stops when the parent host sends the shutdown protocol request.
