Discovery & announce
How the Controller auto-announces to the Station and handles restart resilience.
Discovery & announce
Auto-announce
The Controller auto-announces to the Station on start. This means:
- Controller starts and registers its apps with the Station
- Station discovers all available apps and their tools
- Tool calls are routed through the Station to the correct Controller
Restart resilience
- Controller restart: Controller re-announces to the Station automatically
- Station restart: Station rediscovers all Controllers on their next announce
- App crash: Controller detects the crash and respawns the instance (or returns an error)
No manual intervention is needed for restarts — the system is self-healing.
