Agent Substrate's golden-snapshot boot runs the same image with the same task env,
so the runner no longer starts its command by itself: after the workspaces are
ready it waits for POST /ousast/v1/start (run/task checked, once per boot, refused
after a delivered run). The reconciler sends it through svc/atenet-router with
ate-target-actor, which never addresses the golden actor (plane/router.py), and the
bound Model's secretKey variable travels only in that body, into the child's env.

The first live run on the local ax cluster and ax's source (docs/runner.md,
docs/sandbox.md, internal/controller/reconciler.go, internal/server/server.go)
showed a lifecycle the task-3/4 code did not model:
- `ax apply` creates a Task Suspended (Ready=False, TaskSuspended); it runs only
after `ax resume task`. The first resume of a new image can fail with
DeadlineExceeded while Agent Substrate builds the golden snapshot, and ax's
server then stores phase Failed; a later resume succeeds.
- ax has no Completed phase and never reads a command's exit back.
- The runner is PID 1 and must keep serving after the command exits; stop and
suspend deliver SIGTERM, to be forwarded to the command's process group.
Our runner imported the task in-process and exited, which stopped the
container ("Container guest is stopped") and made every resume time out.
- ax's controller probes /readyz?check=workspace; the query string made our
handler answer 404.
Runner (Req 4.1-4.4): spec.command runs as a child
`python -m openultrasast.plane.tasks.<name>` in its own process group, cwd the
first workspace, AX_METADATA_URL set; ax's metadata paths are served. After the
child exits the runner reads summary.json (a crash without one becomes failed
with the exit code and stderr tail), delivers the output directory, writes
/workspace/.ousast-state/<task>.done.json and serves until SIGTERM (forwarded
to the group, SIGKILL after OUSAST_TERM_GRACE, exit 0). A boot with the marker
never reruns the command; a failed delivery is retried alone. Workspaces are
prepared on the first boot only. AX_RUNNER_EXIT_AFTER_COMMAND=1 is the
unit-test escape.
Reconciler (Req 2.2, 2.3, 3.1-3.3): `ax resume task` after apply, retrying
DeadlineExceeded/Unavailable with backoff up to OUSAST_RESUME_TIMEOUT (900 s);
completion is the artifact delivery; Failed after a resume went through, a
vanished task, or no delivery within OUSAST_TASK_TIMEOUT (7200 s) fail the
task with ax's condition message; `ax delete task` follows. Ax gains resume()
and phase() returns the condition message. doctor moves to plane/doctor.py
(tasks.md task 0 allows the sibling) to keep reconciler.py under 500 lines.
Tests: the fake ax follows the real lifecycle (Suspended, a failing first
resume that leaves Failed, Running forever, delivery only after a resume went
through), plus Failed-with-message, vanish, resume-timeout and task-timeout
scenarios; runner tests cover the child's cwd/group/metadata URL, stay-up and
SIGTERM in a real subprocess, SIGKILL of a SIGTERM-ignoring group, and the
marker. The opt-in live test now checks resume, Running, suspend and a second
resume instead of a Completed phase. design.md and tasks.md state the
lifecycle; the module audit manifest counts plane.doctor.

ai-service-plane task 3, Requirements 4.1-4.4 (with 2.2 and 2.3 honoured by the
exit-code contract):
- src/openultrasast/plane/runner.py: the ax-task-runner entrypoint. Reads the Task
from AX_TASK_YAML and the bound Workspaces from AX_WORKSPACES_YAML (task-1 loaders),
serves /healthz and /readyz on port 80 (AX_RUNNER_PORT; 0 picks a free port,
AX_RUNNER_HTTP=0 disables it for unit tests), materialises each workspace at its
bound path (spec.files verbatim; spec.git at <path>/<name>, exported from the
OUSAST_CASE_CACHE checkout whose origin matches, else a shallow clone at the pin;
a repo already present on a resumed volume is kept) and only then answers 200 on
/readyz. Runs spec.command by importing openultrasast.plane.tasks.<name> with the
remaining elements as argv; sets OUSAST_WORKSPACE_DIR from the first binding when
the Task's env leaves it unset. A crash writes summary.json with status failed and
the traceback. When OUSAST_ARTIFACT_URL is set, the whole OUSAST_OUTPUT_DIR is
POSTed as an uncompressed tar (Content-Type application/x-tar, X-Ousast-Task,
X-Ousast-Run) with three attempts and backoff; a failed delivery rewrites
summary.json to failed and exits 2. Exit codes: done 0, failed 2, unfinished 3.
- plane/Dockerfile.runner: python:3.12-slim + git, `pip install .` (no extras), a
shell wrapper at /usr/local/bin/ax-task-runner exec'ing the module; built and
loaded into kind by ops/ax/up.sh, not by the tests.
- tests/test_plane_runner.py (+ tests/plane_stub_task.py registered as the task
module): env contract on a files workspace, readyz 503 then 200, delivery to a
local receiver with the headers and tar checked, delivery failure -> failed and
exit 2 after three attempts, crash -> failed with traceback, exit codes per
status, case-cache export at the pin, shallow-clone fallback, resume keeps the
checkout.
- model/audit.py: SPEC_OWNED row for plane.runner; module-audit measurement
regenerated (122 modules, no orphans, note kept).
