# Runtime Protocol (Behavior)

The Runtime Protocol defines the interfaces for Agent execution and interaction within the Coreason ecosystem.

## IAgentRuntime

The `IAgentRuntime` interface (conceptually) defines the contract for an Agent's execution environment. It abstracts away the underlying infrastructure (local process, container, serverless function) and provides a consistent API for:

1.  **Lifecycle Management**: Starting, stopping, and pausing agents.
2.  **State Persistence**: Loading and saving agent state.
3.  **I/O Handling**: Processing inputs and emitting outputs.

*Note: This specification is currently under active development and will be formalized in future releases.*
