Read against runc's man page: spec, create --bundle, start, list, state, kill and delete --force all match the CLI, the approach section is right, and pages/linux/ is the correct directory for a Linux-only tool. Two gaps before merge:

• runc exec is missing. Running a command inside a container that is already up is the operation people reach for after run, and the page otherwise only covers the create/start/delete lifecycle.
• Every example assumes root. That is accurate for the common case, but rootless runc needs its own state directory (runc --root {{path/to/state_dir}} run {{container_id}}); a note or one example would cover the case that sends people looking for this page in the first place.

runc pause/resume would also fit if you want a seventh example, but the two above are the ones I would not ship without.

@paoValle both points addressed in a2c130d:

• Added runc exec with an optional --tty placeholder, placed right after start in the lifecycle.
• Added a rootless note in the heading covering --root {{path/to/state_dir}} for the state directory.

Dropped the state example to stay within the 8-example limit (TLDR019) — list already covers container visibility. Syntax for exec (--tty/-t) and the global --root option verified against the runc man pages in the runc repo.

[paoValle]

Both points are in: runc exec sits right after start, and the rootless note names --root. tldr-lint and markdownlint are clean on the page, the link matches more-info-links.txt, and 8 examples is inside the limit.

One optional nit: it is the only page in the corpus with a {{placeholder}} inside a > Note: line — --root bare there, or the path moved into an example, would match every other note. Either way this looks good to me.
