# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase20-session09-container-dispatch-decision` **Package**: null **Completed**: 2026-06-28 **Duration**: 1.5 hours

***

## Overview

Session 09 approved a narrow local container executor slice for queue and campaign dispatch. The implementation adds protocol-owned `container` executable payloads, routes them through the server task execution coordinator and existing `ContainerRuntimeManager.runIsolatedSpawn()` boundary, exposes product-facing queue and campaign controls in the web app, and updates docs so container readiness is limited to bounded local isolated-spawn dispatch.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Approve only bounded isolated spawn**: Container queue and campaign dispatch uses the existing local `runIsolatedSpawn()` path and does not add arbitrary Docker commands, builds, mounts, remote execution, hosted execution, or Worker command bridges.
2. **Keep protocol as the shared contract**: Container executable and summary shapes live in `packages/protocol` so server, web, route, event, and test behavior converge on one parser.
3. **Preserve compact broad surfaces**: Queue rows, campaign rows, REST responses, WebSocket events, tests, docs, and browser evidence expose safe labels, ids, runtime, cleanup posture, state, and recovery notes without raw Docker output or command details.

## Test Results

| Metric                              | Value                             |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Focused Vitest                      | 171 passed / 171                  |
| Full Vitest                         | 3096 passed / 3096 run, 1 skipped |
| Browser e2e                         | 7 passed / 7                      |
| Format, lint, typecheck, whitespace | PASS                              |
| Coverage                            | Not generated                     |

## Lessons Learned

1. Direct container runtime readiness does not prove queue or campaign orchestration readiness; the executor family needed its own contract, routing, UI, docs, tests, and privacy evidence.
2. WebSocket sanitization can silently drop safe execution evidence unless it is validated and reconciled through the same protocol contract used by REST.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Keep template and channel intake proposal-first until local review creates a validated executable task.
2. Maintain the same broad-surface privacy bar for release evidence and event privacy in Session 11.
3. Treat arbitrary Docker operations, remote execution, hosted execution, image builds, mounts, and network controls as separate future executor families.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase20-session09-container-dispatch-decision/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
