SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the management of initialization and lifecycle for Orkid subsystems.

Core Features & Use Cases

Dependency-driven startup/shutdown orchestrates initialization and termination across subsystems using a topological order.
FSM-based lifecycle defines UNINITIALIZED, INITIALIZING, READY, SHUTTING_DOWN, and TERMINATED states for robust state management.
Factory patterns & tooling provide clear patterns for creating and wiring subsystems (OPQ, CORE, CATALOG, GPU, AUDIO, LEV2) with thread affinity and wave-based execution.
Use cases include configuring startup orders for complex apps, diagnosing initialization sequences, and validating lifecycle transitions during development and testing.

Quick Start

Describe a typical startup sequence for an Orkid application, listing core subsystems in dependency order.

FAQPage Schema

How do I manage subsystem initialization order with dependencies?▼

Subsystem initialization order is managed using dependency-driven startup that orchestrates initialization topologically. This ensures subsystems are initialized in the correct order and safely shut down, preventing startup failures and deadlocks.

What states are used for FSM-based subsystem lifecycle management?▼

FSM-based lifecycle management uses UNINITIALIZED, INITIALIZING, READY, SHUTTING_DOWN, and TERMINATED states. These states enforce robust transitions, ensuring predictable startup order and safe shutdown for core subsystems.

How does wave-based parallel initialization work for multithreaded subsystems?▼

Wave-based parallel initialization executes multithreaded subsystems across waves with enforced thread affinity. This orchestrates core subsystems like GPU and AUDIO to initialize concurrently while respecting dependency constraints.

How do I register core subsystems using factory patterns?▼

Core subsystems are registered using factory patterns that provide clear wiring for OPQ, CORE, CATALOG, GPU, AUDIO, and LEV2 components. This enforces predictable creation, thread affinity assignment, and lifecycle registration.

Can I diagnose initialization sequence failures during subsystem startup?▼

Diagnosing initialization sequences is a core use case enabled by lifecycle FSMs and subsystem registration. By validating state transitions and dependency-driven startup order, you can identify and resolve conflicting dependencies during development and testing.

When should I not use topological ordering for subsystem shutdown?▼

Topological ordering for subsystem shutdown is not suitable when core subsystems lack clearly defined dependency relationships or require non-deterministic termination timing. Safe shutdown requires strict, predictable dependency graphs to avoid violating lifecycle FSMs.
