Three README changes that make the table honest again after ollama.

A Capabilities column

ollama fits all four existing axes — dynamic, single-shot, HTTP + SSE, hour — while doing something no other example does: registering several apps from one process. That is a dimension, not a value, so the table gains a column reading 1 everywhere and N for ollama, rather than the curation rule quietly acquiring an exception. The rule at the bottom of the section now lists five axes and stays true as written.

Drops a promise that no longer makes sense

More will follow, including a full example that exercises every feature.

With every axis covered, an example that exercised every feature would just be the other seven glued together. Removed rather than left as an aspiration nobody intends to fulfil.

A "Not covered here" section

Right now a reader cannot distinguish "the runner can't do this" from "we chose not to show it". Three features, with the reason each is absent:

  • Proxy mode (proxy: true) — the orchestrator hands out an opaque per-session URL from a configurable template instead of the default /apps/{runner}/session/{session}/app, and the placeholder may sit in the host, giving each session its own origin. That matters for browser apps, where cookies, CORS, and service workers are per-origin, and for anything serving assets from absolute paths. No example because the app-side change is one boolean; everything interesting is orchestrator configuration.
  • label and version — carried to discovery, no behavioural effect, yours for bookkeeping.
  • Changing status while running — a runner can heartbeat itself out of ready to stop receiving sessions. Useful when one process registers several apps sharing hardware, but the SDK has no public setter yet.

It also links the two gaps worth knowing before deploying: capacity tracked per registration rather than per machine (go-livepeer#4015), and persistent sessions never released offchain when a client disappears (go-livepeer#4016). Both bite in deployment rather than in the demo, which is exactly why the README should name them.

Stacked on #62 since it needs the ollama row to exist.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The table tracked four axes, and ollama fits all four while doing
something none of the others do: registering several apps from one
process. That is a dimension, not a value, so it gets a column rather
than an exception, and the curation rule stays true as written.

Drops the promise of "a full example that exercises every feature". With
the axes covered, such an example would only repeat the others.

Adds a short list of runner features no example shows -- proxy mode,
label and version, changing status while running -- so their absence
reads as a choice. Links the two known gaps, capacity accounting and
sessions that are never released offchain, since both bite in
deployment rather than in the demo.
