Read stable Actor identity and admit input through the development population API. Admission returns before delivery, execution or saving completes. An Actor’s Computer has the same stable identity; reading it starts no execution.

Commands

Inherited flags

Subcommand reference

idyl actor delete

Delete an Actor and dispose of its Computer as its Run recorded. Deletion closes new input admission at once and interrupts every uncompleted input of the Actor, including inputs that were never delivered; outcomes already recorded are kept. The Actor then moves to deleting, which removes its Computer, or to retaining, which converts the Computer into an independent Computer with the same identity and saved versions. Read the Actor to follow progress. Repeating the command is safe. You will be prompted for confirmation unless the —yes flag is provided.

Usage

Flags

idyl actor interrupt

Fence the Actor’s live Agent execution at a new authority epoch. Running script commands are ended, delivered inputs without a published completion settle as interrupted, and work the execution had not saved is discarded. Accepted inputs that were never delivered stay pending for the same Actor, which continues from its last saved version. The result states whether live execution was interrupted; when none was live, nothing changes, so repeating the command is safe. It requires computer:update on the Actor’s Namespace. You will be prompted for confirmation unless the —yes flag is provided.

Usage

Flags

Examples

idyl actor invoke

Admit one JSON input and return its durable Invocation before delivery completes. The input file is data, never shell source or interpolated program arguments. Retry an uncertain response with the same input and idempotency key. A new execution of the same work requires a new key, including after a lost or interrupted outcome. Cancellation stops the request, not already admitted work.
