> The port, its modules, and how application code uses them.

Application code depends on one module, `orchestration-api`. It contains the whole port:

| Type | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `Orchestrator` | start work, get a `RunHandle` back; `run`, `start`, `handle` |
| `Runner` | the worker side: register handlers and flows for a queue, `start()` |
| `TaskType`, `TaskHandler`, `TaskContext` | one unit of work |
| `FlowType`, `FlowDefinition`, `FlowScope` | a durable program |
| `RunOptions`, `TaskOptions`, `RetryPolicy` | budgets and policies |
| `RunHandle`, `FlowHandle`, `RunStatus`, `RunState` | what you hold after starting |

Two engines implement it:

- `orchestration-engine`: the orchestrator, over the wire. Production.
- `orchestration-memory`: the same port in-process, no server. Tests, and the proof that the port
  is engine-neutral.

Both pass the same 40-test contract, shipped as test fixtures of the api module.
