+title: Host-Owned Debug Boundaries and Cheap Machine Diagnostics
+created: 2026-04-19
+tags: [runtime, host, debug, certification, telemetry, abi]
+---
+
+## Context
+
+`DSC-0012` resolved a recurring ambiguity in PROMETEU: whether development diagnostics should be treated as part of the guest/runtime contract or as host tooling concerns. The codebase already had host overlay rendering, atomic telemetry snapshots, and slot-first bank telemetry, but the runtime still exposed JSON-formatted bank inspection syscalls.
+
+The completed work converged specs, runtime ABI, and host debugger behavior around a single boundary: rich diagnostics belong to the host, while the runtime exports only bounded machine-facing summaries.
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+### Host-Owned Debug and Certification (`DEC-0009`)
+
+**What:**
+Debug tooling and certification are host-owned concerns. Guest-visible debug convenience APIs are not part of the long-term runtime ABI.
+
+**Why:**
+Development inspection, profiling, and certification analysis happen on desktop host environments, not on production handheld/runtime targets. Keeping those concerns in the guest ABI forces production execution to carry tooling-oriented surface area and cost.
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+The runtime gives up general introspection syscalls, so host tooling must consume telemetry and internal host/runtime integration points directly. In exchange, the public ABI becomes cheaper, narrower, and easier to reason about.
+
+## Patterns and Algorithms
+
+- Treat diagnostics as a layered boundary:
+  The runtime owns deterministic counters, bounded summaries, and machine-facing operational signals.
+  The host owns rendering, protocol projection, certification output, and rich inspection UX.
+
+- Prefer cheap structured values over textual debug payloads:
+  If a machine-facing diagnostic survives, it should return small canonical stack values such as `(used_slots, total_slots)`, not JSON blobs.
+
+- Use one telemetry source for all host consumers:
+  Atomic telemetry snapshots should feed debugger streaming, overlays, and certification evaluation so the platform does not fork multiple diagnostic pipelines.
+
+- Keep telemetry slot-first when the real machine contract is slot-first:
+  Bank occupancy was correctly modeled as slot usage, so the surviving public summary stayed aligned with that semantic model instead of byte-oriented totals or slot-detail dumps.
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- Do not let host-only needs backdoor themselves into the guest ABI as "temporary" debug syscalls. They tend to linger and become accidental contract.
+
+- Do not use JSON-on-the-wire as a fallback ABI for runtime inspection. It is easy to add, but it creates unbounded cost and weakens the canonical machine model.
+
+- Do not update only specs or only code. This boundary needed spec propagation, runtime ABI cleanup, and host debugger alignment together to avoid split-brain behavior.
+
+## Takeaways
+
+- Debug and certification pipelines should be modeled as host products that consume runtime telemetry, not as guest features.
+- Surviving machine diagnostics must be justified by operational need and expressed as bounded structured values.
+- The clean boundary is: runtime produces telemetry, host interprets and presents it.

-# Agenda - [PERF] Runtime Introspection Syscalls
-
-## Problema
-
-As syscalls de introspecao ainda carregam custo de serializacao e agregacao demais para algo que deveria ser observabilidade sob demanda.
-
-Hoje `BankInfo` e `BankSlotInfo` montam JSON por chamada e puxam dados potencialmente caros do asset manager.
-
-## Dor
-
-- tooling de debug pode contaminar custo percebido da runtime surface.
-- serializacao de string/JSON vira alocacao no meio do dispatch.
-- sem fronteira clara, apps podem abusar de syscalls de introspecao como se fossem baratas.
-
-## Hotspots Atuais

-## Alvo da Discussao
-
-Separar claramente custo de introspecao/debug do custo da superficie operacional normal.
-
-## O Que Precisa Ser Definido
-
-1. Papel dessas syscalls.
-   Decidir se `BankInfo`/`BankSlotInfo` sao:
-   - superficie publica normal;
-   - superficie de debug;
-   - superficie host/devtools apenas.
-
-2. Shape de retorno.
-   Definir se JSON continua existindo ou se v1 exige shape mais barato/canonico.
-
-3. Caching.
-   Delimitar se snapshots de introspecao podem ser cacheados por frame.
-
-4. Limites de uso.
-   Decidir se o runtime deve impor throttling, budget ou feature gate de debug.
-
-## Open Questions de Arquitetura
-
-1. Vale manter JSON na ABI do guest ou isso deveria ficar restrito ao host/debugger?
-2. Existe um subconjunto de dados numericos suficiente para carts sem tooling externo?
-3. O certifier deve observar essas chamadas como custo anormal de debug?
