Instance URLs and lifecycle.

Every agent receives an address that is both predictable for your app and isolated from your control-plane account.

Subdomain resolution

When an instance is created, Hangar reserves {instance-id}.hangar.app. DNS maps that subdomain to the instance plane only after the runtime is ready. Keep the returned URL rather than constructing it from a display name.

Lifecycle

StatusMeaning
provisioningResources and routing are being prepared.
runningThe URL can receive agent requests.
stoppedRuntime is paused; data remains attached.

A stop request moves a running instance to stopped. Starting it transitions through provisioning and returns it to running. Deletion enters deleting and removes the URL after completion.
