Examples

This section contains real, compiled, and verified reference implementations used to continuously validate the Hydra Forge engine under realistic conditions.

These examples exist to show that the documented architecture, engine workflow, and verification guarantees are not theoretical - they are enforced in practice.

Purpose

Examples exist to validate system behavior when:

• Native code is integrated and rebuilt
• Error handling paths must be explicit and testable
• Multi-threaded execution is introduced
• Documentation and verification must remain consistent

They are designed to exercise the same engine paths, failure modes, and verification gates that client libraries encounter.

Hydra Forge is deliberately agnostic to how code is authored. Implementations may be written by hand, adapted from legacy systems, or produced with the assistance of automated tools.

The engine does not generate algorithms or repair flawed logic. It provides a disciplined environment where experimentation, replacement, and iteration are cheap, explicit, and verifiable.

Hydra Forge removes scaffolding, wiring, and integration friction - so engineers can spend time on algorithms and behavior, not plumbing.

Why these examples matter

These examples are not demonstrations or tutorials.

They act as regression anchors that prevent structural drift, silent breakage, or undocumented behavior as the Hydra Forge engine evolves.

• They compile real native code
• They exercise failure and error-reporting paths
• They are rebuilt and re-verified automatically

If an example fails, it indicates a violation of system guarantees - not an acceptable edge case.

Scope

Examples are intentionally limited in number.

Hydra Forge is not a library of utilities. Examples exist to validate the system, not to provide reusable components.

Their value lies in what they prove about the engine, not in the specific functionality they implement.

Available examples

Each example is fully integrated into the engine workflow and subject to the same verification gates as client libraries.
