Read and write bounded application storage through the host contract.

```yh
external ResolveHostStorage(text family, text explicitRoot, text localAppData, text xdgDataHome, text home, text fallbackRoot) returns hostStorageContext
```


## Use ResolveHostStorage

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using host.storage

// Read and write bounded application storage through the host contract.
text family = "cpu"
text explicitRoot = "explicit Root"
text localAppData = "local App Data"
text xdgDataHome = "xdg Data Home"
text home = "home"
text fallbackRoot = "fallback Root"
hostStorageContext result = ResolveHostStorage(family, explicitRoot, localAppData, xdgDataHome, home, fallbackRoot)
Console.Log("Inspect result in your debugger")

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.host_storage__resolvehoststorage"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

[[dependencies]]
package = "host.storage"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/host/storage"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/host.storage--ResolveHostStorage/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


Package presence and a declaration do not establish support on every host. Host services need their platform and lifecycle setup.
