Actuator Client
The Actuator Client is where a decision becomes a physical action. When the Rule Evaluator fires an outcome — close a valve, trip a relay, set a setpoint — this component translates it into the right local bus command and confirms it took effect.
The host's hands
This is the only part of the rule runtime allowed to touch hardware. Rules declare what should happen; the actuator client owns how it happens on the specific Modbus / GPIO surface of this gateway.
