OptionalamiHard dollar ceiling on accumulated compute cost. 0 = none.
OptionaldnsDNS label for the instance's spore.host name. spored registers
{dnsName}.{base36(account)}.spore.host only when this is set (mirrors the Go
tool, whose --dns defaults to the required --name). Undefined = default to a
slugified name; an empty result omits spawn:dns-name (DNS disabled).
OptionalhooksDaemon-enforced lifecycle hooks (optional). spawn-ts is a browser launcher with no on-instance daemon, so it can only WRITE these as spawn:* tags — a real spored on the instance runs them. Included so a spawn-ts launch is fully honored by spored, and to stay wire-compatible with the Go tool. Undefined fields emit no tag.
Idle CPU threshold, percent. Below this counts as idle.
Idle timeout in ms. Stops (or hibernates) after inactivity. 0 = none.
OptionaljobJob-array membership (optional). Set when this instance is one indexed
member of a spawn job array — N identical launches from one base config,
differing only by index. Written to spawn:job-array-* tags. Undefined for a
plain single launch. Distinct from a sweep (which varies parameters per
member); a job array's members are identical but for JOB_ARRAY_INDEX.
OptionalkeyCompletion-signal action + watched file. Empty onComplete = disabled.
On-demand $/hr, recorded at launch for cost-limit + dashboard math.
Idle-SSH-shell auto-logout, in ms. 0 = disabled. Distinct from the idle instance lifecycle (idleTimeoutMs): this disconnects idle login sessions on the box (sshd ClientAlive + a readonly TMOUT), it does not stop/terminate the instance. A bootstrap/userdata feature — enforced on the instance, not by the in-app lifecycle engine. Written to spawn:session-timeout.
OptionalsweepParameter-sweep membership (optional). Set when this instance is one member
of a spawn sweep fan-out; written to spawn:sweep-* tags so the whole sweep
is discoverable and wire-compatible with the Go tool. Undefined for a plain
single launch.
TTL in ms. Always terminates on expiry — the hard cost backstop. 0 = none.
LaunchSpec is what a user configures at
spawn launch. Field names track the real CLI flags. Durations are milliseconds internally; they serialize to Go duration strings ("4h", "30m") on the wire tags.
