Parent: #712
Outcome
Runtime.fork(source, { name }) creates a runtime-backed Lane whose kind is exactly strand, bound to the source Lane and its captured fork coordinate.
Acceptance
- Only a Lane owned by the same open Runtime can be forked.
- The returned descriptor is the mutually exclusive strand variant:
kind, name, parent, and forkedAt.
- Fork construction is cross-lane Runtime behavior; no competing root factory is added.
- Strand
write() and bounded observe() are runtime-honest and share the normal lifecycle/backpressure contract.
- Duplicate/invalid names, closed Runtime use, foreign Lanes, and unsupported source kinds fail with stable errors.
- Consumer, lifecycle, real-Git, root-boundary, and generated-reference tests agree.
Non-goals
Settlement, common-basis braid validation, and CLI/MCP commands are separate slices.
