Core no longer owns or drives OS threads. The runtime is now a single
tick-driven worker whose loop an external engine hosts and advances.
This is the cutover required before the engine seam is introduced.
Removed from core:
- Runtime::run() and its owned thread pool (spawn, park/unpark, join)
- notify_worker() and worker_threads: Vec<OnceLock<Thread>> plumbing
- Placement load-aware selector and its WorkerStats-driven next_worker()
- WorkerId newtype and the address->worker routing map; AddressMap is
now a plain AddrSet membership set
- num_threads from RuntimeConfig
Rewired for the single-worker tick API:
- python/wasm bindings, dashboard dummy node (deleted), myelin vastai
adapter, and the runtime/test suites
Cleanup folded in during review:
- prune three never-written WorkerStats counters (cross_sends,
messages_dropped, restarts)
- collapse the redundant tick_all params onto the WorkerContext handle

Add read-only actor overview and per-actor dossier pages to the dashboard, fed by enriched per-actor runtime snapshots.
- `dashboard/swactor/actor_view`: new `ActorPanelView`, a tolerant frame consumer over `runtime.actors`/`runtime.stats` that folds per-actor snapshots and serves `/view/swactor/actor-overview` (roster) and `/view/swactor/actor-dossier` (per-actor detail), each backed by an embedded HTML template (`actor_overview.html`, `actor_dossier.html`)
- `dashboard`: register both views in `DashboardHandle` and export `actor_overview_view()`/`actor_dossier_view()` from the swactor module
- `swactor` core: enrich `ActorSnapshot` with `actor_type` and `message_type` (populated from `slot.actor.metadata()` in `ActorPool`) and add `ActorAddress::to_full_hex()` for untruncated display
- `myelin/orchestration`: publish actor stats to the dashboard via a `runtime.actors` channel producer (`stats_hook_on`) threaded through the distribution stack, and carry the orchestrator actor address into readiness signaling
- workspace `Cargo.toml`: add `default-members` for native iteration and a centralized `[workspace.dependencies] tokio` so members share one feature set; `dashboard/Cargo.toml` switches to `tokio.workspace = true`

Make single-threaded tick driving observable so callers can tell whether a tick actually performed work.
- src/runtime.rs: add try_tick() returning whether any worker did work, add has_work() reporting schedulable work, and reduce tick() to a thin wrapper that ignores try_tick()'s result
- src/worker.rs: extract the fast-idle predicate into a reusable Worker::has_work() (backlog plus non-empty spawn/transfer/admin queues plus pending extension work) and reuse it from both the new runtime has_work() and the idle short-circuit in tick_once()

Add a RuntimeAdmin control plane for out-of-band inspection and mutation of live actors, bypassing their normal message handlers.
- src/admin.rs: add RuntimeAdmin + Admin<T> reply handle, the AdminCommand enum (ListActors, InspectActor, GetActorState, ReplaceActorState, StopActor, SuspendActor, ResumeActor), typed result types (ActorSummary/ActorStatus/ActorStateSnapshot/ListActorsResponse), and AdminError (ActorNotFound/AddressMismatch/TypeMismatch/Timeout)
- src/actor.rs: expose type-erased accessors on AnyActor — metadata() returning ActorTypeMetadata plus as_any()/as_any_mut() for downcasting — and Actor::inner()/replace_inner() so admin can snapshot or swap concrete actor state
- src/runtime.rs: wire a per-worker admin channel (admin_txs), expose Runtime::admin(), and implement the RuntimeAdmin ops that resolve an address to its owning worker, send the command, notify that worker, and return an Admin<T> handle; Admin::recv_ticking drives ticks and collects the reply
- src/worker.rs: add an admin_rx receiver and a drain_admin tick phase run before actor handlers, plus ActorPool helpers (actor_summary, get_actor_erased[_mut], suspend/resume/stop_actor_admin) that apply commands on the worker thread; fold admin_rx into the fast-idle has_work/tick_once checks
- tests/runtime_admin.rs: add 608 lines of end-to-end coverage for list/inspect/get/replace/stop/suspend/resume and the type-mismatch and not-found error paths

Extract the timer wheel and watch registry from the worker into a reusable std-extension crate, generalize the worker around a RuntimeExtension factory, and decompose the monolithic runtime test file into focused suites.
- crates/std: extract TimerWheel (deterministic tick-counted one-shot/interval timers) and WatchRegistry (target-to-watcher death-notification index) out of src/worker.rs into reusable modules
- crates/std: add Ctx extension traits (CtxMonitoring, CtxNaming, CtxWatching, CtxTimers) and Runtime extension traits (RuntimeNaming, RuntimeWatching, RuntimeGroups) wiring monitor/name/watch/timer/group support
- src/worker.rs: replace the hard-coded timer/watch fields with a generic RuntimeExtension factory and add route_to_pool_or_remote for message routing (local pool, then cross-worker address map, then external inboxes)
- tests: split the 4622-line tests/runtime_api.rs into focused suites (actor_lifecycle, message_delivery, runtime_stress, std_extension) plus a shared tests/common/mod.rs harness, and drop watch_api.rs
- benches/fuzz: add runtime_benchmarks and adjust the runtime fuzz target
- tools/docs: add fn_complexity.py and loc_analysis.py analysis scripts and refresh the runtime and worker-thread docs

- command (new crate): CommandRouter dispatching to built-in inspection handlers
(overview/workers/actors) plus user-registered handlers, with line and
query-param parsers; built for REPL/REST/TUI/WebSocket frontends.
- wasm-actor (new crate): skeleton host — WasmActor, Builder, Engine, error
types — with echo/double/silent guest fixtures and integration tests.
- distribution: add Registry (member catalog + lookups) and Snapshot, with tests.
- core: extend the worker watch API; add watch_api integration tests.

Make mailbox push infallible and replace the locked tick-timing buffer with a
lock-free ring.
- channel: HybridChannel::push and Sender::send now return () — overflow always
absorbs, never rejects — dropping the Result<(), T> surface and its callers.
- stats: tick_timings moves from Mutex<VecDeque> to a lock-free crossbeam
ArrayQueue (drop-oldest-on-full), removing the per-tick lock.
- ripple the signature change through worker/runtime/config; drop worker_benchmarks.
- expand runtime_api tests around the new channel/stats shapes.

Split the monolithic crate into a Cargo workspace with the Python and Wasm bindings as separate member crates.
- Cargo.toml: declare a `[workspace]` with members `.`/`crates/swactor-python`/`crates/swactor-wasm`, remove the `python` feature and pyo3 dependency, and change root crate-type from `["cdylib","rlib"]` to `["rlib"]`
- crates/swactor-python: new cdylib crate re-exporting the PyO3 bindings (Runtime/RuntimeConfig/RuntimeHandle/Inbox/Ctx/ActorAddress/RuntimeStats), depending on `swactor` + pyo3; pyproject.toml and uv.lock relocated here from the root
- crates/swactor-wasm: new cdylib crate moved from top-level `wasm/`, depending on `swactor` with `no_random` features
- src/actor.rs: widen `Actor::new`, `AnyActor`, `ContextInner`, and `Ctx::raw_inner` to `pub` so the separate binding crates can drive the runtime
- src/lib.rs: delete the in-tree `python` module and `#[pymodule]`, and gate the `no_random` RNG behind `all(feature = "no_random", not(feature = "getrandom"))`
- tools/: relocate package.json/package-lock.json; drop the now-duplicate `wasm/Cargo.lock`
