Examples — Basic to Intermediate

These examples grow one external application through the current appcore-sdk facade. Every stage keeps the three owned artifacts: Application Manifest, Deployment Manifest, and business code.

Level	Example	Main lesson
1	Smallest local application	Validate canonical local manifests and logging
2	Application registration	Register business contracts without constructing infrastructure
3	Scheduled task contract	Declare bounded work for a deployment-owned scheduler
4	Standalone to cluster	Keep business code unchanged while deployment policy changes

Start with appcore-sdk = "1.0.0-rc.2". Enable only the features used by the application. None of these examples creates an implicit host or Runtime CLI.
