SDK (L)

The SDK layer wraps the K-layer algorithms and runner plumbing with:

• strongly-typed handles (fields, selections, topology, mapping)

• output builders that automatically populate results.json descriptors

• stable state IO helpers (checkpoint/resume safety)

This keeps the physical definition of a measure close to the formula, while the platform enforces correctness.

Typical structure

PILOTS recommends a one-translation-unit measure layout:

// src/measures/MyMeasure.cpp
// 1) caps()
// 2) create()
// 3) class MyMeasure : IMeasure
// 4) static MeasureRegistrar ...

See src/measures/template_measure.cpp.
