rw-core-keywords

The rw-core-keywords package provides RW.Core — the standard Robot Framework keyword library that every RunWhen CodeCollection uses for importing secrets, pushing metrics, raising issues, generating reports, and interacting with platform services.

It’s installed system-wide inside rw-base-runtime, so .robot files can import it with no extra setup:

*** Settings ***
Library    RW.Core

Runtime modes

Mode	Activate	Secrets	Metrics	Issues	Reports
production	Default (no env var)	Vault / K8s / cloud providers	OpenTelemetry	issues.jsonl	report.jsonl
dev	export RW_MODE=dev	Env vars / local files	Console	Console	Console

Your .robot code is identical in both modes — the behavior difference is handled internally by rw-core-keywords.
