The SUBSTRATE structural deploy KINDS — pod / vm / kubernetes / local / android / kubevirt / kindcluster — relocated into ONE candy (C2-substrate; formerly the shared built-in standaloneKind). Each substrate kind is BOTH a standalone TEMPLATE (a bare vm:/pod: block → the typed template map uf.Pod/uf.VM/…, the PRIMARY VM authoring form) AND a DEPLOY (from:/image: cross-ref or resource members → uf.Deploy). Its value is RICH + core-referencing (#Vm/#Deploy/#LibvirtDomain/…), so — unlike group’s small self-contained #GroupInput — it cannot be re-decoded from op.Params nor validated by a self-contained plugin schema. So the HOST pre-decodes the CANONICAL node via the core loader (buildDeployNode / decodeNodeValue — the single decode source of truth), validates its value against the KEPT #Value core def, and threads it in op.Env; this plugin’s OpLoad ECHOES it and the host folds the echo into uf.Deploy (deploy) or the typed template map (template — the C2-substrate TEMPLATE fold arm extending F5’s deploy-only fold), byte-equivalent to the former in-proc standaloneKind decode. COMPILED-IN (in the embedded compiled_plugins:), like the tier-1 kinds and group, because these are core deploy primitives every box/submodule must always resolve; also serves out-of-process via cmd/serve. P14a added the COLLECTOR OpStatusCollect on the same kind-provider Invoke (dispatched by word pod/vm/kubernetes/local/android/kubevirt/kindcluster): the cleanly-movable status collectors — pod live (snapshot + live mounts + tool probes) + local (install-ledger) + the probes — relocated here from charly core, reached by the host’s charly status fan-out; the deploy-cone-coupled enrichment + the vm/kubernetes/kubevirt/android collectors live here too (relocated from core in K5). kubevirt is the 6th deploy substrate (a KubeVirt VM on a cluster), declaring the ssh venue WITHOUT exclusive_venue + a deep OpValidate (the source-arm XOR + GPU resource XOR).

Acceptance plan

This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.

Intent

Step

check

the substrate structural kind plugin ships a buildable Go module the host compiles in (default) or serves out-of-process; its pod/vm/kubernetes/local/android/kubevirt/kindcluster structural decode (both the deploy fold to uf.Deploy and the standalone-template fold to uf.Pod/uf.VM/…) is exercised by every check bed / box composing a substrate node (check-substrate-* / check-kindcluster-* / box-fedora / box-cachyos / box-arch / box-debian). P14a’s OpStatusCollect (pod live + local + kubernetes + kindcluster collectors + the probes) is exercised by the charly status parity beds (check-sidecar-pod status –json) + the relocated unit tests (collectPodLive golden, local ledger, probes, TestKindclusterDeployEntries/TestKindclusterSpecFor_ResolvesContext/TestKindclusterClusterName_Sanitized).
