Container Runtime ও OCI — docker run থেকে kernel syscall পর্যন্ত সম্পূর্ণ পথ

এই সিমুলেশনটা কোনো syscall সত্যিই চালায় না (এই sandbox macOS, clone()-এর namespace flag এখানে অর্থহীন) — বরং runc-এর C/Go কোড যে সিদ্ধান্ত-প্রক্রিয়া অনুসরণ করে (config.json পার্স করে, প্রতিটা ধাপ ক্রমান্বয়ে বাস্তবায়ন করে), সেই একই যুক্তি একটা ছোট, স্বাধীনভাবে-যাচাইযোগ্য Python প্রোগ্রামে পুনর্নির্মাণ করে — যাতে আগের example সেকশনের LayerTrace বিমূর্ত prose না থেকে, একটা যান্ত্রিক, চালানো প্রোগ্রামে পরিণত হয়।

"""
mini_runtime.py -- a toy OCI-runtime simulator.

Takes a config.json-shaped dict (the OCI Runtime Specification's format --
namespaces, cgroup resource limits, mounts, and the process entrypoint) and
prints the EXACT ordered sequence of syscalls/actions a real OCI runtime
(runc) performs to turn that JSON into a running container. Nothing here
actually calls clone()/pivot_root()/execve() -- this is macOS, those Linux
syscalls don't exist here -- it mechanically walks the same decision logic
runc's C/Go code walks, so the ORDER and the CONTENT of each step is real.

লক্ষ্য করুন ধাপ [01]-এর 0x7C020000 — এটা হুবহু linux-namespaces-deep-dive লেসনের সেই একই combined flag value (CLONE_NEWPID|NEWNS|NEWNET|NEWUTS|NEWIPC|NEWUSER-এর bitwise OR), এখানে স্বাধীনভাবে, একটা lookup table থেকে namespace type string-এর ভিত্তিতে recompute করা হয়েছে, হার্ডকোড করা না — দুইটা লেসনের সংখ্যা মিলে যাওয়াটাই প্রমাণ করে দুইটাই একই underlying kernel সত্যকে বর্ণনা করছে। ধাপ [13]-এর পরের মন্তব্যটাই এই লেসনের কেন্দ্রীয় দাবির যান্ত্রিক প্রমাণ — প্রোগ্রামটা নিজেই বলছে runc-এর জীবনকাল এখানেই শেষ, কোনো অবশিষ্ট daemon প্রসেস নেই।
