Rho

Rho is an operable scientific workspace. This repository owns its application shell, examples, development entry and exact component composition.

Repository	Responsibility
Rho-core	Generic Host, operation journal, plugin lifecycle, public SDK, CLI/HTTP/MCP
Rho-plugins	Official scientific plugins, domain contracts, native adapters, methods and views
Rho (this repository)	Application shell, examples, component selection and integration

The component repositories are published under YuLab-SMU, each with its own source and commit. The application split is submitted on codex/split-repositories for review into main. See the development guide for the sibling checkout layout and the source publication procedure.

node dev.mjs status
npm ci --ignore-scripts --prefix ui
node dev.mjs build app
node dev.mjs build core
node dev.mjs build plugin files
node dev.mjs build plugin annotations
node scripts/test-composition.mjs

The application compiles using the pinned public SDK already in this checkout; its build/check commands do not invoke Cargo or read sibling source. Plugins likewise build against their own public dependency snapshot. The coordinated entry uses sibling checkouts only for explicitly requested component development.

rho.lock.json pins component commits and SDK digests. core-sdk.json identifies the generated public dependency; do not edit sdk/ locally. Build receipts in target/ identify actual binaries/packages. A source lock alone is not a build result.

See documentation, current state, development and operation.
