# Architecture Runtime Topology
Bundled commands use `$PLUGIN_ROOT` for the plugin root. Set it once: use the host's plugin-root variable when defined (Claude Code: `PLUGIN_ROOT="$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT"`), otherwise the absolute path of this plugin's root directory.
Use when the question is how the system runs, communicates, fails, scales, or is operated.
## Inputs
- Deployment: Docker, Compose, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, serverless, Procfile, platform manifests, CI/CD, release config.
- Runtime config: env/config directories, service discovery, feature flags, schedulers/jobs.
- Integrations: HTTP, gRPC, GraphQL, queues, topics, cache, database, external APIs, webhooks, batch.
- Observability: logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, SLOs, health checks, incidents.
- Resilience: timeout, retry, circuit breaker, fallback, bulkhead, rate limit, idempotency, backpressure, degradation.
- Ownership: service owners, CODEOWNERS/OWNERS, runbooks, escalation paths, review gates.
Record paths and signal names only; never repeat secret values.
## Probe
```bash
python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/architecture_probe.py" <repo-path> --json
```
Use `runtime_topology` as evidence inventory. It detects deployment artifacts and runtime signal names, not production truth.
## Lenses
- Topology: what deploys, what calls what, and which runtime edges matter.
- Failure behavior: slow/down/partial/overloaded/inconsistent dependency response.
- Observability: critical paths have actionable logs,
