Rule Loader
The Rule Loader keeps the Rule Evaluator fed with the right rules. The cloud authors and versions rule packs; the loader fetches them, validates and compiles them to WASM, and swaps them in live — without ever leaving the runtime without a working rule set.
Hot reload, never a gap
Reloads are atomic: a new pack is fully compiled and validated before it becomes active. If validation fails, the current pack stays in force and the failure is reported — the gateway is never left rule-less.
