Return value
Promise<{ok:true}>
Description
Confirms only that the bound host bridge admitted and answered the request. It does not claim dependency readiness, system health, privilege, signer trust, or release-candidate status.
Overview
Arcane.system.ping() confirms that the bound Arcane bridge admitted and
answered one request. It requires no capability and is available on Core and
Android. It uses a 10-second client timeout, has no side effect, and emits no
event.
Result and limits
The exact result is {ok: true}. Success does not prove installation health,
network reachability, renderer readiness, dependency readiness, elevation,
publisher trust, signing, or release-candidate status. Use the focused status
method for each of those questions.
Errors and recovery
ARCANE_TRANSPORT_UNAVAILABLE means no host is connected.
ARCANE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT means the bridge did not complete before the client
deadline. Android can reject duplicate or invalid bridge frames. Treat any
failure as an unknown bridge state and reconnect; do not turn it into a broader
health diagnosis without evidence.
Example
const reply = await Arcane.system.ping();
console.log('Bridge replied', reply.ok);
