+### Binary Streams with SSE
+
+For binary content types (e.g., `application/octet-stream`), SSE mode requires the `encoding` option:
+
+```typescript
+const stream = await DurableStream.create({
+  url: "https://streams.example.com/my-binary-stream",
+  contentType: "application/octet-stream",
+})
+
+const response = await stream.read({
+  live: "sse",
+  encoding: "base64",
+})
+
+response.subscribe((chunk) => {
+  console.log(chunk.data) // Uint8Array - automatically decoded from base64
+})
+```
+
+The client automatically decodes base64 data events before returning them. This is required for any content type other than `text/*` or `application/json` when using SSE mode.

-#### `close(): Promise<void>`
+#### `close(finalMessage?): Promise<CloseResult>`
+
+Flush pending messages and close the underlying **stream** (EOF). This is the typical way to end a producer session:
 
-Flush pending messages and close the producer. Further `append()` calls will throw.
+1. Flushes all pending messages
+2. Optionally appends a final message atomically with close
+3. Closes the stream (no further appends permitted by any producer)
+
+**Idempotent**: Safe to retry on network failures - uses producer headers for deduplication.
 
 ```typescript
-await producer.close()
+// Close stream (EOF)
+const result = await producer.close()
+console.log("Final offset:", result.finalOffset)
+
+// Close with final message (atomic append + close)
+const result = await producer.close('{"done": true}')
+```
+
+#### `detach(): Promise<void>`
+
+Stop the producer without closing the underlying stream. Use this when:
+
+- Handing off writing to another producer
+- Keeping the stream open for future writes
+- Stopping this producer but not signaling EOF to readers
+
+```typescript
+await producer.detach() // Stream remains open
 ```

+## Stream Closure (EOF)
+
+Durable Streams supports permanently closing streams to signal EOF (End of File). Once closed, no further appends are permitted, but data remains fully readable.
+
+### Writer Side
+
+#### Using DurableStream.close()
+
+```typescript
+const stream = await DurableStream.connect({ url })
+
+// Simple close (no final message)
+const result = await stream.close()
+console.log("Final offset:", result.finalOffset)
+
+// Atomic append-and-close with final message
+const result = await stream.close({
+  body: '{"status": "complete"}',
+})
+```
+
+**Options:**
+
+```typescript
+interface CloseOptions {
+  body?: Uint8Array | string // Optional final message
+  contentType?: string // Content type (must match stream)
+  signal?: AbortSignal // Cancellation
+}
+
+interface CloseResult {
+  finalOffset: Offset // The offset after the last byte
+}
+```
+
+**Idempotency:**
+
+- `close()` without body: Idempotent — safe to call multiple times
+- `close({ body })` with body: NOT idempotent — throws `StreamClosedError` if already closed. Use `IdempotentProducer.close(finalMessage)` for idempotent close-with-body.
+
+#### Using IdempotentProducer.close()
+
+For reliable close with final message (safe to retry):
+
+```typescript
+const producer = new IdempotentProducer(stream, "producer-1", {
+  autoClaim: true,
+})
+
+// Write some messages
+producer.append('{"event": "start"}')
+producer.append('{"event": "data"}')
+
+// Close with final message (idempotent, safe to retry)
+const result = await producer.close('{"event": "end"}')
+```
+
+**Important:** `IdempotentProducer.close()` closes the **stream**, not just the producer. Use `detach()` to stop the producer without closing the stream.
+
+#### Creating Closed Streams
+
+Create a stream that's immediately closed (useful for cached responses, errors, single-shot data):
+
+```typescript
+// Empty closed stream
+const stream = await DurableStream.create({
+  url: "https://streams.example.com/cached-response",
+  contentType: "application/json",
+  closed: true,
+})
+
+// Closed stream with initial content
+const stream = await DurableStream.create({
+  url: "https://streams.example.com/error-response",
+  contentType: "application/json",
+  body: '{"error": "Service unavailable"}',
+  closed: true,
+})
+```
+
+### Reader Side
+
+#### Detecting Closure
+
+The `streamClosed` property indicates when a stream is permanently closed:
+
+```typescript
+// StreamResponse properties
+const res = await stream({ url, live: true })
+console.log(res.streamClosed) // false initially
+
+// In subscribers - batch/chunk metadata includes streamClosed
+res.subscribeJson((batch) => {
+  console.log("Items:", batch.items)
+  console.log("Stream closed:", batch.streamClosed) // true when EOF reached
+})
+
+// In HEAD requests
+const metadata = await stream.head()
+console.log("Stream closed:", metadata.streamClosed)
+```
+
+#### Live Mode Behavior
+
+When a stream is closed:
+
+- **Long-poll**: Returns immediately with `streamClosed: true` (no waiting)
+- **SSE**: Sends `streamClosed: true` in final control event, then closes connection
+- **Subscribers**: Receive final batch with `streamClosed: true`, then stop
+
+```typescript
+const res = await stream({ url, live: true })
+
+res.subscribeJson((batch) => {
+  for (const item of batch.items) {
+    process(item)
+  }
+
+  if (batch.streamClosed) {
+    console.log("Stream complete, no more data will arrive")
+    // Connection will close automatically
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Attempting to append to a closed stream throws `StreamClosedError`:
+
+```typescript
+import { StreamClosedError } from "@durable-streams/client"
+
+try {
+  await stream.append("data")
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof StreamClosedError) {
+    console.log("Stream is closed at offset:", error.finalOffset)
+  }
+}
+```
