Docker conversation runtime settings reach the bundled agent server (v1.20.0); Docker execution workspaces are main-only. Before v1.20.0, Canvas dropped OH_CONVERSATION_RUNTIME=docker and started the bundled agent server in local mode, running on the host. Six settings are now forwarded when set: runtime, image, memory, CPU, PID limits and startup timeout. Unset values leave Agent Server defaults in charge.
Channel: #17462 tagged-release; #17177 and #17518 main-unreleased at window close. Half: capability. Date: 2026-09-17 (tag); 2026-09-21 (main).
Operator consequence: If you set OH_CONVERSATION_RUNTIME=docker on a Canvas older than v1.20.0, your conversations ran locally, not in Docker. Check ps or the container list from a v1.19.0 session. Upgrade, then confirm the conversation’s process is inside a container. Treat Docker execution workspaces as not shipped for this window.
