The review's final wording items: the portable-identifier note's Scope said the backend 'has since shipped' without noting it is experimental/private; the RESERVED_WORDS JSDoc said backends 'ship for both languages'. Both now name the TypeScript backend as released and the CPython backend as experimental and private. The package README also records that the truncation-marker text and tempdir prefix keep the pre-rename short names (byte-anchored by tests, independent of the npm name).

code-runtime/ — code-execution capability family
English | 中文
Summary
The code-runtime/ group provides program execution: a model writes one program that calls host-provided functions as ordinary async calls, and a runtime executes it in isolation and returns only what the program printed and returned. One package defines the shared capability (ctx.codeRuntime), a second executes TypeScript programs in a fresh Node worker thread, and a third owns the wire protocol between a Node host and a CPython subprocess for the Python backend. Every run is independent — no state carries from one program to the next — and failures come back as part of the result, so the caller can see why a program failed and feed that back to the model.

Packages
These three packages together provide program execution; each README describes what its part does.

|---|---|---|
code-runtime/ |
Defines what a code runtime does: run one program against host-provided bindings and report what it printed and returned | ctx.codeRuntime |
code-runtime-worker-thread/ |
Executes TypeScript programs, each in a fresh Node worker thread | registers ctx.codeRuntime |
experimental/code-runtime-python/ |
The experimental Python backend: owns the fd-3 wire protocol between a Node host and a CPython subprocess and the CPython runtime implementation | — |
