-/**
- * Defines a statically inspectable transition.
+ * Use `effect` for one-shot work, `stream` for repeated values, `after` for a
+ * cancellable timer, `logic` for reusable process logic, or `child` for a
+ * complete child machine. Stream elements are handled by `onElement` before
+ * the next element is pulled. `onDone` is required whenever the source can
+ * complete, while `onFailure` is required only when the source has a typed
+ * failure channel.
+ *
+ * This constructor is an identity at runtime, but preserves lifecycle callback
+ * inference through published declarations. Effect and Stream factories run
+ * when their owning state is entered and infer the owner context, value,
+ * output, error, and service channels together without a return annotation.
+ * Durations may be
+ * supplied directly or derived from the owning state's entry context. Logic
+ * invocations require both a lifecycle `id` and a typed communication
+ * `address`. Child descriptors already own their identity, so `id` and
+ * `address` must not be repeated.
  *
- * It is required for every event, lifecycle, choice, and invocation transition
- * so the destination selected by `target` can contextually type the
- * corresponding resolver. Conditional transitions use the locally bound
- * `branch` constructor so every case independently infers its matched value and
- * selected destination, with no limit on the number of cases.
+ * Inside `handle(...)`, the owning definition contextually supplies its public
+ * input and declared parent protocols. Invocation sources and lifecycle handlers
+ * can therefore send through `self` and `parent` without naming the definition.
+ * The standard `Machine.invoke(...)` constructor preserves these contexts
+ * directly; no intermediate definition method is required.
  *
  * ```ts
- * Machine.transition({
- *   target: (to) => to.full.Ready(),
- *   resolve: ({ target }) => target.from()
- * })
- *
- * Machine.transition({
- *   cases: (branch) => [
- *     branch({
- *       title: "has cached data",

+ *       catch: (cause) => new LoadError({ cause })
+ *     }),
+ *   onDone: (to) =>
