+/**
+ * NATS bridge — bidirectional FlatBuffer transport over NATS (composition
+ * root). Decomposed by concern:
+ *
+ *   types.ts          — options / stats / NatsTransport / NatsBridge contracts
+ *   real-transport.ts — the eager, non-blocking connection with retry loop
+ *   inbound.ts        — the NATS→clients decode + filter pipeline
+ *
+ * OUTBOUND: the server encodes each event ONCE (Rust FFI → scratch), fans the
+ * same frame out to WS clients, then hands a COPY to `bridge.publish(subject,
+ * frame)` so other applications consume the identical wire bytes. Best-effort:
+ * if NATS is down the frame is dropped and counted in `bridgeErrors` — it
+ * never blocks or throws on the WS hot path.
+ *
+ * INBOUND: when `inbound` is enabled the bridge subscribes to `{prefix}.
+ * inbound.>` and forwards decodable app events to `onInbound` (wired by the
+ * server to fan out to clients). Control frames and unknown ids are dropped.
+ *
+ * HORIZONTAL SCALING: when `bridgeClientEvents` is set, the server re-publishes
+ * every accepted client-sent event to `{prefix}.inbound.<event>` so OTHER
+ * server instances (and BE consumers) receive it. Loop prevention: frames that
+ * arrive via NATS are forwarded through `onInbound` and never re-bridged.
+ *
+ * GENERIC: decodes inbound frames with the given `Bindings` (default: the
+ * built-in registry), so the bridge works for ANY schema. Tests can inject an
+ * `NatsTransport` fake — no broker needed in CI.
