+# Register sees the current guest host services
+
+Go guest plugins can declare capability-backed runtime surfaces from their
+`Register` callback. Bridge providers are the first such surface: the provider
+stores its invokable value in the guest-local bridge stub while the stub tells
+the CMS host that the named service exists.
+
+`Serve` previously assigned the package-level guest runtime only after
+`newGuest` returned. Because `newGuest` runs `Register` synchronously,
+`HostServices()` returned an empty `CoreServices` value during registration.
+Plugins that correctly nil-checked the bridge silently skipped registration.
+The CMS could therefore mark a Wasm plugin loaded while consumers failed with
+`bridge: no service registered` during a later load hook.
+
+`newGuest` now makes the guest under construction current for the synchronous
+registration pass and restores the previous runtime before returning. `Serve`
+then installs the completed guest as before. This keeps construction isolated
+for native tests while making the documented `HostServices()` escape hatch
+truthful during `Register` on every pooled Wasm instance.
+
+Alternatives rejected were moving bridge registration into `Load`, which runs
+on only one pooled instance, and adding bridge names only to the manifest,
+which would advertise host availability without installing the guest-local
+`BridgeInvokable` value needed by `HOOK_BRIDGE_CALL`.
+
+Consequences:
+
+- Bridge services registered from `Register` exist on every pooled guest
+  instance and remain callable after CMS startup and hot swap.
+- A regression test exercises the observable `Serve` plus
+  `HOOK_BRIDGE_CALL` contract instead of relying on initialization internals.
+- No ABI or protobuf change is required; consumers need a plugin SDK release
+  containing the corrected Go guest runtime.
