    "summary": "The execution layer hosts agent-driven tool calls and shell commands:\nlocal process, Docker container, SSH remote, Kubernetes pod, cloud\nfunction, direct host, or service-side executor. Execution posture includes\nprocess lifecycle, signal propagation, resource limits, isolation, network\npolicy, filesystem access, GPU access, and concrete runtime substrate.\nRealized by `Execution` nodes.\n",
    "responsibilities": [
      "Start, stream, interrupt, and stop tool/shell/process execution.",
      "Own process lifecycle, resource limits, environment variables, and mounts.",
      "Route side effects to local, remote, container, or hosted executors."
    ],
    "examples": [
      "Local shell, Docker, SSH remote, Kubernetes pod, GitHub Actions runner.",
      "Browser automation worker, notebook/kernel executor, cloud function.",
      "LangGraph tool node executing inside a host application runtime."
    ],
    "fitNotes": "Frameworks often delegate execution to user-defined tools. Hosted agent\nproducts may make this layer invisible but still need it for auditing and\npolicy mapping.\n"
