====== 13.10 runNode.sh ======

[[fxdemo:05-part:13-build-and-run-scripts:start | Return to Build and Run Scripts ]]

The ''runNode.sh'' script should start a named Phase 0 [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]] or Node profile. It should support development, debugging, testing, and targeted troubleshooting without requiring the full Node network to run.

The script should accept a Node name, Node Role, or documented Node profile as input. It should validate that the requested Node exists in the Node Catalogue or [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]] [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]].

The script should:

  - Validate the requested Node identifier.
  - Load the Node's approved Configuration.
  - Confirm the required generated types and runtime dependencies exist.
  - Start the Node using the approved runtime mechanism.
  - Report the Node Identity, Role, Configuration source, and log location.
  - Fail clearly when the Node cannot start.
  - Return a meaningful exit code.

The script should not create undocumented Node variants. If a developer needs a new Node profile, the team should update the Node Catalogue, Configuration, tests, and documentation through review.
