Description

I see your spacetimedb is a terminal program.

Can we get support for running it from a library from within a rust executable?

So instead of spacetimedb terminal app -> wasm -> my rust lib
Something like my rust app -> spacetimedb lib -> wasm -> my rust app again

Idk if you can export a apps structs and methods to inside a wasm instance without creating another lib.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the SpacetimeDB terminal program invokes the WASM module, then compare that flow with the requested Rust application-to-library-to-WASM path. Determine whether a supported library entry point can expose the needed application structs and methods, and define done as a documented, working way to invoke SpacetimeDB from a Rust executable without the terminal app.
