 Calling `#pop` retrieves a single item from the queue in no particular order.
 
+```ruby
+queue = OrbitalQueue.new("/path/to/queue")
+item = queue.pop!
+
+# Something, something...
+```
+
 The retrieved item enters a checkout state, and must be finalized by calling `#complete` once processing is finished.
 
 If guaranteed completion is not required and the item should be removed immediately upon retrieval, use `#pop!` instead.
 
-Both `#pop` and `#pop!` return a queue item as a `Hash`. If the original object was not a `Hash`, it will be stored under the `:data` key. Regardless of the original type, the queue ID is always stored under the `:queue_id` key.
+Both `#pop` and `#pop!` methods returns `OrbitalQueue::QueueObject` object.
+You can access queue data via `OrbitalQueue::QueueObject#data`.
+
+When calling `#complete`, `#destruct`, or `#defer` directly on `OrbitalQueue`, `queue_id` must be given.  
+If you use these methods via `OrbitalQueue::QueueObject`, the `queue_id` is internally handled and can be omitted.
+
+### Dequeue with block
+
+You can call `#pop` with a block.
+
+When call with block, block is called with queue data as an argument.
+
+queue item automatically complete when blocke ends without error.
+
+The `#pop` method can be called with an optional block.  
+When used this way, the block is invoked with the item's data.  
+After successful execution (without exceptions), the item is considered complete and removed from the queue.
+
+```ruby
+queue = OrbitalQueue.new("/path/to/queue")
+queue.pop do |data|
+  #...
+end
+```
+
+### Dequeue loop
+
+While technically possible to loop over `#pop`, it doesn't support block-based iteration.
+
+Use `#each` when you want to process items with a block in a loop.  
+It provides a clean and idiomatic Ruby style for sequential processing.
+
+For full control over each item, use `#each_item`, which yields a `QueueObject` instead of just the data.
+
+`#each_item` iterates over queue items as `QueueObject` instances, not raw data.  
+This allows direct control over each job—for example, deferring its execution using `#defer`.
+
+Unlike `#each`, which automatically marks items as complete after the block runs,  
+`#each_item` exposes queue control for cases where completion isn't guaranteed or deferred handling is needed.
+
+### Job deferral
+
+`OrbitalQueue` supports job deferral, enabling queue items to be scheduled for retry or postponed execution with precise control.
+
+Calling `#defer` transitions a queue item into the deferred state.  
+This moves the item's file into the `.defer` directory and creates a retry metadata file in `.retry`.
+
+Once an item has been deferred, it is associated with retry information, referred to as `retry_data`.  
+This is a `Hash` object that tracks rescheduling behavior.
+
+`#defer` uses `retry_data` to determine whether the item can be retried, including retry count limits.  
+When called with a block, `#defer` yields `retry_data` as an argument, allowing custom modifications.
+
+Regardless of how it's called, `retry_data` is persisted after the method returns.  
+To control deferral behavior, modify values inside `retry_data`—typically by changing the `:until` field (Unix timestamp).  
+This field specifies when the item should become eligible for re-queueing, making it ideal for implementing backoff strategies.
+
+```ruby
+queue.each_item do |item|
+  begin
+    # Something...
+  rescue
+    item.defer(Time.now + 300)     # Retry after 5 minutes.
+  end
+end
+```
+
+with block:
+
+```ruby
+queue.each_item do |item|
+  begin
+    # Something...
+  rescue
+    item.defer do |retry_item|
+      if retry_item[:count] > 5
+        item.destruct
+      else
+        retry_item[:until] = Time.now + 300 * retry_item[:count]
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+The `#defer` method's main role is to move the queue item file into the `.defer` directory.  
+Since `OrbitalQueue` operates without a server, it cannot scan `.defer` efficiently or restore deferred items automatically.
+
+Aside from the internal keys `:count` and `:until`, all other values in `retry_data` are preserved as-is.  
+You can freely store custom metadata inside it—such as failure reasons or backoff parameters.
+
+The `#destruct` method removes all files associated with a queue item and raises `OrbitalQueue::ItemDestructed`.  
+This exception is caught inside `#defer`, allowing `#destruct` to abort the entire deferral process.
+
+⚠️ Do not rescue `OrbitalQueue::ItemDestructed` within a `#defer` block.  
+If the block completes normally after destruction, queue integrity may be violated.
+
+The `#archive` method creates a Marshal-serialized file under `.archive`, containing the original data, its `retry_data`, and an `archiveinfo` hash.  
+After archiving, it calls `#destruct` to remove the live queue item.
+
+Archived files are never accessed by OrbitalQueue itself.
+
+Note: Because `archive` discards in-memory `retry_data`, you cannot modify it before archiving.  
+Instead, extra metadata should be passed as arguments to `archive` and will be merged into `archiveinfo`.
+
+```ruby
+queue.each_item do |item|
+  begin
+    #...
+  rescue
+    item.defer do |retry_data|
+      if retry_data[:count] > 5
+        item.archive({reason: "Host timeout"})
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Resume deferred job
+
+Deferred queue items must be manually restored using the `resume` method.  
+This method is typically executed by a separate worker from the one handling regular queue operations.
+
+It is defined as an instance method:
+
+```ruby
+queue = OrbitalQueue.new("/path/to/queue")
+queue.resume
+```
+
+For convenience, resume can also be called as a class method:
+
+```ruby
+OrbitalQueue.resume("/path/to/queue")
+```
 
 # About Orbital Design
 
 ## Description
 
-## Design pattern rules
+Orbital Design is a programming pattern optimized for distributed systems.  
+It is especially well-suited to environments where:
+
+* New data constantly arrives without pause
+* Processing workloads vary in complexity and demand asymmetric distribution
+* Systems start small but must scale seamlessly to clustered deployments
+
+## Philosophy
+
+Orbital Design distinguishes between "agents" and "workers".  
+In most cases, an agent refers to a program, while a worker is a process.
+
+The core principle is that **workers only need to care about what they do**.  
+Upon starting, a worker picks a single available job prepared for it and executes it—no coordination or negotiation required.
+
+This behavior mirrors that of individuals in a larger society, or cells within a living organism.  
+Each unit performs its specific role independently.
+
+This philosophy is deeply aligned with the Unix principle:  
+_"Do one thing, and do it well."_
+
+## Core Rules of Orbital Design
+
+Orbital Design defines a set of principles to preserve decoupling, clarity, and safety in distributed systems:
+
+- *Agents must remain small and focused*.  
+  Each agent is responsible for doing one thing, and doing it well.
+
+- *Workers must not access data unrelated to their task*, nor inspect other workers' state or progress.
+
+- *Write access to a database or dataset must be held by exactly one agent*.  
+  This prevents conflicting updates and maintains integrity.
+
+- *Deletion from a database may only be performed by:*
+  - A worker with exclusive read access to the data, or
+  - A sweeper worker that receives notifications from all readers
+
+- *Agents must not block on I/O*.  
+  Blocking input/output disrupts concurrency and undermines distributed fairness.
+
+## Benefits of Orbital Design
+
+### Ease of Implementation
+
+Each program is small and focused, with clearly defined responsibilities.  
+Because agents cannot access global state and avoid blocking operations, race conditions are structurally prevented.
+
+This allows each unit to concentrate solely on its task—no need to worry about concurrency or system state.
+
+## Simplicity
+
+Orbital Design requires minimal complexity.  
+It does not depend on heavy frameworks or advanced techniques.
+
+It can be fully implemented using standard OS features such as file systems, processes, and signals.  
+No special measures are needed to achieve scalability.
+
+## Language Agnosticism
+
+Programs are isolated and do not interfere with one another.  
+This allows you to implement each agent in any language that suits the task.
+
+You can choose a language based on convenience, libraries, or performance.
+Critical paths can be written in C, C++, Rust, or Nim as needed, while simpler agents may use scripting languages.
+
+Even agents with similar functionality can be written in different languages depending on input format or operational context.
+
+## Parallelism and Decomposition
+
+Restricted I/O paths eliminate contention during parallel execution.  
+By following the design pattern, concurrency becomes straightforward.
+
+No locking or synchronization is required—so parallel processing not only becomes easier to write, but also more performance-effective.
+
+Additionally, replacing I/O layers with network interfaces naturally extends the system into distributed computing.
+
+## Signal Friendliness
+
+Although OS-level signals are simple and often underutilized for concurrency,  
+Orbital Design enables practical use of signals for multi-worker environments.
+
+This can provide a minor advantage when building cooperative worker pools.
+
+## Compatibility with Systemd
+
+Systemd's `@.service` unit files support multi-instance execution.
+
+Agents designed with Orbital Design require no more than a worker name as an argument, making them trivially scalable to multiple instances.  
+This provides a low-effort pathway to multi-worker deployments, with restarts handled by Systemd itself.
+
+## Compatibility with Job Schedulers
+
+Orbital Design is not limited to multi-worker or multi-instance models.  
+It is especially well-suited to systems that rely on periodic execution by job schedulers.
+
+While worker-driven systems react to runtime state, job schedulers operate on time-based triggers.  
+Thanks to its stateless model, Orbital Design allows agents to run regardless of timing or system condition.
+
+## Shell Script Friendly
+
+Each agent has a clear and narrow scope, with no need for shared database schemas.  
+This makes it easy to write parts of the system in shell scripts where appropriate.
+
+In practice, this results in simpler and more maintainable solutions in more cases than expected.
+
+## Replaceable Components
+
+Programs in Orbital Design are small and well-scoped.  
+When a language, library, or performance characteristic becomes a limitation, swapping out components comes at low cost.
+
+This helps maintain long-term system health and avoids software decay.
+
+# Finally
+
+“The library is minimal. The idea is not.”
 
+Orbital Design is not a framework. It's a way of thinking. It thrives where ideas are shared freely.
