Runtime API

Astrogram no longer hides runtime diagnostics behind unlock gestures or repeated taps.

Host info

host->hostInfo() always exposes runtime fields:

const auto info = _host->hostInfo();

info.runtimeApiEnabled;
info.runtimeApiPort;
info.runtimeApiBaseUrl;
info.workingPath;
info.pluginsPath;
info.safeModeEnabled;

Even when the runtime API is disabled, these fields remain part of the public contract.

Runtime diagnostics

Use these values to:

• show developer info in a plugin
• log the current runtime endpoint
• expose status in a diagnostics page
• decide whether a plugin can talk to an external helper

System info

host->systemInfo() provides machine-level metadata:

• process ID
• total and available memory
• logical and physical CPU counts
• operating system details
• locale and UI language
• time zone
• user and host names

Recommended check

const auto host = _host->hostInfo();
if (host.runtimeApiEnabled && host.runtimeApiPort > 0) {
	_host->showToast(
		QString("Runtime at %1").arg(host.runtimeApiBaseUrl));
}

Example: diagnostics info block

Plugins::SettingDescriptor diagnostics;
diagnostics.id = "runtime_status";
diagnostics.title = "Runtime API";
diagnostics.type = Plugins::SettingControl::InfoText;
diagnostics.description = _host->hostInfo().runtimeApiEnabled
	? QString("Enabled at %1").arg(_host->hostInfo().runtimeApiBaseUrl)
	: "Disabled";

This is useful when you want a plugin settings page to expose developer-facing runtime information without building a custom dialog.

Safe mode awareness

const auto host = _host->hostInfo();
if (host.safeModeEnabled) {
	_host->showToast("Astrogram is running in safe mode.");
}

Plugins that behave differently in safe mode should read this state and degrade gracefully instead of assuming the full runtime is always available.
