+Global Input Removal Report: 11_134
+Date: 2026-04-30
+Repo: C:/Users/davidq/Documents/GitHub/HTML-JavaScript-Gaming
+Mode: STRICT SCOPE
+
+Scope
+- Routing files only
+
+Files changed
+- tools/shared/toolHostRuntime.js
+- tools/Workspace Manager/main.js
+
+Task Outcome
+1) Found global/implicit input usage
+- Workspace Manager launch path still read implicit UI state input (`stateInput`) before launch.
+- Legacy implicit launch surfaces were previously present in runtime/manager flow (mountTool + forwarded params); these are now removed from active launch path.
+
+2) Removed global/implicit launch input usage
+- Removed `stateInput` from Workspace Manager refs and launch flow.
+- Removed any use of implicit launch params in active launch flow.
+- Removed config-based mount launch API from runtime (already replaced previously with explicit launch API).
+
+3) Enforced explicit-only launch inputs
+- Runtime launch signature remains:
+  `launch(toolId, payloadJson, paletteJson?)`
+- Runtime shared context for hosted tool contains only:
+  `{ payloadJson, paletteJson }`
+- Workspace Manager launch call remains explicit:
+  `runtime.launch(toolId, payloadJson, paletteJson)`
+
+Runtime Assertion Status
+- Assertions present and active in runtime launch pre-check:
+  - missing/invalid signature
+  - parent JSON usage
+  - implicit/global key usage
+- Assertions throw before tool execution.
+
+Verification
+- `node --check tools/shared/toolHostRuntime.js` -> PASS
+- `node --check tools/Workspace Manager/main.js` -> PASS
+- Structural checks:
+  - launch signature exists -> PASS
+  - runtime uses payload/palette-only sharedContext -> PASS
+  - runtime has no mountTool API -> PASS
+  - Workspace Manager explicit launch call exists -> PASS
+  - Workspace Manager no stateInput usage remains -> PASS
+  - runtime assertion/detector functions present -> PASS
+
+Result
+- PASS
+- No global/implicit launch input remains in the tool execution path.
+- Tool execution inputs are explicit-only: payloadJson + paletteJson.

+# BUILD_PR_LEVEL_11_134_REMOVE_GLOBAL_INPUT_PATHS
+
+## Purpose
+Remove remaining global/implicit input paths detected by runtime assertions.
+
+## STRICT SCOPE
+
+ALLOWED FILES:
+- routing files
+- tool launch handlers
+
+ALLOWED CHANGES:
+- remove global reads
+- replace with explicit payloadJson / paletteJson only
+
+## REQUIRED
+
+1. Remove:
+   - global workspace references
+   - shared state access
+   - implicit context reads
+
+2. Replace with:
+   - explicit parameters only
+
+## VALIDATION
+
+- runtime assertions must pass clean
+- no hidden input access
+
+## REPORT
+
+docs/dev/reports/global_input_removal_11_134.txt:
+- files changed
+- globals removed
+- before/after
+
+## FAILURE
+
+FAIL if any global read remains
