In which rule set and under what conditions, is a runner ruled out for batter interference?

There's a rulebook for that. Several actually - one for each ruleset. Quoting the relevant sections by ruleset here is a silly exercise, given that you can read them just as easily there.

Add to Manny's, and maybe not what you mean, but,

A runner is always out if the interference is by a retired batter (after strike three).

Not specifically what I meant, but good reinforcement.

That would be runner closest to home, as with any retired BR or R.

You are correct, although not always easy to find.
Pardon my laziness , but thanks Manny & Steve.
