runtime activate

Activates a staged runtime, making it the current active runtime. The ID can be specified as a prefix as long as it is unambiguous.

The activation process:

  1. Resolves the runtime by ID prefix.
  2. If the runtime includes an OS bundle with a different os_build_id than the running system, an OS update is applied and a reboot is required.
  3. If no OS change is needed, the active symlink is atomically switched and extensions are refreshed.

See Activation Process for full details.
