Platform Capabilities

Heartwood selects one platform adapter from deterministic environment evidence and exposes its capabilities to every interface at GET /project/capabilities. The manifest prevents the terminal, browser, and notebook from advertising routes the platform cannot support.

Current Capability Matrix

Capability Workstation or Container Terra Stanford Carina
Platform identifier generic terra carina
Interfaces Terminal, browser, notebook Terminal, notebook Terminal
Browser route Direct loopback Unavailable Unavailable
Heartwood-managed runtimes llama.cpp, vLLM llama.cpp, vLLM vLLM
Compute model Current host Provisioned Terra compute Slurm allocation
Durable storage Project directory Dedicated directory below /home/jupyter Approved project storage
Credential backends Process, system keyring, mounted file Process, mounted file, managed identity Process, mounted file
Model sources Heartwood-managed, OpenAI, Anthropic, other compatible service Heartwood-managed, OpenAI, Anthropic, other compatible service Heartwood-managed, Stanford AI API Gateway
Managed model connection None None in the baseline adapter Stanford AI API Gateway

Startup Projection

GET /project/startup?interface=web and the equivalent gateway method return:

  • selected platform and interface;
  • resolved project and state paths;
  • supported-interface status;
  • current setup phase;
  • next action;
  • browser access URL when one can be verified;
  • compute and confirmation requirements;
  • readiness checks; and
  • the complete platform capability manifest.

Inspection is read-only. POST /project/initialize records explicit browser confirmation and creates private project state.
