Track C — Orchestration + CLI

Parent: #394

This epic covers everything that wires Pluto together — lifecycle, monitoring, the node graph, and the user-facing CLI commands beyond DKG. Two integration anchors (#402, #403) depend on Track A + Track B landing first; they're the final assembly step.

Scope

App utilities

• Implement app/health #68 app/health
• Implement app/forkjoin #41 app/forkjoin
• Implement app/stacksnipe #71 app/stacksnipe
• Implement app/protonil #46 app/protonil
• Implement app/tracer #47 app/tracer
• Implement app/sse #183 app/sse
• Implement app/monitoringapi #400 app/monitoringapi
• Implement app/vmock #401 app/vmock

Core coordination

• Implement core/gater #399 core/gater
• Implement core/priority #177 core/priority
• Implement core/infosync #173 core/infosync

Integration anchors (final assembly)

• Implement app/app.go equivalent — node graph wiring & lifecycle #402 app/app.go wiring — node graph instantiation & lifecycle
• Implement cmd/run — main node binary #403 cmd/run — the pluto run binary entry point 🎯 Phase 4 gate

CLI surface

• Implement cmd/combine #181 cmd/combine
• Implement cmd/addvalidators #410 cmd/addvalidators
• Implement cmd/manifest_tools #411 cmd/manifest_tools
• Implement cmd/debug_tools #412 cmd/debug_tools

Sequencing

1. App utilities (most are small) — front-load in Phase 0/1
2. Implement app/monitoringapi #400 monitoringapi + Implement app/sse #183 sse — observability surface
3. Implement core/gater #399 gater + Implement core/priority #177 priority + Implement core/infosync #173 infosync — peer coordination
4. Implement app/app.go equivalent — node graph wiring & lifecycle #402 app/app.go wiring — needs every Track A + B module to be ready
5. Implement cmd/run — main node binary #403 cmd/run — needs Implement app/app.go equivalent — node graph wiring & lifecycle #402 complete
6. CLI commands (Implement cmd/addvalidators #410, Implement cmd/combine #181, Implement cmd/manifest_tools #411, Implement cmd/debug_tools #412) — parallelizable any time

Acceptance

• All sub-issues closed
• pluto run boots, joins peers, completes one slot in a 4-node compose
• Monitoring endpoint exposes scheduler/duty/inclusion metrics
• All CLI commands ported with --help parity vs charon
