LocalNika is a thin process driver. It does not reimplement parsing, planning, policy or execution. It calls the binary’s machine surfaces with an argv array and types the result.

​
Construct the client

Both options are optional. bin resolves through the explicit option, NIKA_BIN, then PATH. cwd controls relative workflow paths and the trace store used by the child process.

​
Probe the engine

The probe rejects when the binary cannot be spawned or reports a non-zero exit. Run it at process startup when the application cannot operate without Nika.

Method map

LOCALNIKA · RELEASED MACHINE SURFACES
The mapping matters: if a payload evolves, the engine owns its version envelope and the SDK preserves unknown fields through raw.

​
No shell around paths

The driver uses spawn(binary, args). A workflow path is one argv value, never text concatenated into a shell command.
This protects the application seam. It does not grant workflow authority. The engine still enforces permits, secrets and its hardened runtime floor.
