 `QueryParam` is `string | number | bigint | boolean | null`. The params form sends the `QueryWithParams` (0x04) wire message and **requires powdb-server >= 0.4.7**. The plain `query(q)` and `query(q, { signal })` forms are unchanged.
 
+## Multi-statement scripts (`execScript`)
+
+`execScript` runs a whole `;`-separated PowQL script down one connection,
+**pipelined**: every statement is written back-to-back without waiting for
+the previous reply, so an N-statement script costs one round trip instead of
+N. Splitting is statement-aware with the exact semantics of the CLI's script
+path — `;` inside `"..."` string literals or `#` comments never splits, and
+empty statements are dropped. (The splitter is exported as
+`splitStatements(script)` if you need it standalone.)
+
+```typescript
+const results = await client.execScript(`
+  type User { required name: str, age: int };
+  insert User { name := "Alice", age := 30 };  # seed; more to come
+  insert User { name := "Bob;Bobby", age := 25 };
+  count(User)
+`);
+// results: QueryResult[] in statement order — results[3].value === "2"
+```
+
+By default execution is **fail-fast**: the first failed statement rejects the
+promise with a `PowDBScriptError` carrying `statementIndex`, the failing
+`statement` text, and the successful `results` so far. Because dispatch is
+pipelined, statements already on the wire when the error reply arrives
+(typically the whole script) still execute server-side — use
+`transactional: true` if you need all-or-nothing behavior. Do **not** embed
+`begin`/`commit` in the script yourself: the trailing `commit` is already on
+the wire when an error reply arrives, so it commits the partial work.
+
+With `transactional: true`, `execScript` opens the transaction itself, waits
+for every statement's reply, and only then sends `commit` — or `rollback` if
+any statement failed — so no statement's effect survives a failure.
+Transactional scripts may not contain their own `begin`/`commit`/`rollback`,
+and the option is mutually exclusive with `continueOnError`. On failure the
+`PowDBScriptError`'s `results` are the replies received before rollback —
+their effects are not persisted.
+
+```typescript
+// Either every statement commits, or none do.
+await client.execScript(seedScript, { transactional: true });
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { isPowDBScriptError } from "@zvndev/powdb-client";
+
+try {
+  await client.execScript(script);
+} catch (err) {
+  if (isPowDBScriptError(err)) {
+    console.error(`statement ${err.statementIndex} failed: ${err.statement}`);
+    console.error(`${err.results.length} statements succeeded before it`);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+With `continueOnError: true`, every statement runs regardless of failures and
+you get a dense per-statement outcome array instead of a throw:
+
+```typescript
+const outcomes = await client.execScript(script, { continueOnError: true });
+for (const o of outcomes) {
+  if (o.ok) console.log(o.result.kind);
+  else console.warn(`failed: ${o.statement} — ${o.error.message}`);
+}
+```
+
+`Pool.execScript(script, opts?)` does the same through a pool, checking out a
+single connection for the whole script (so statement order — and
+`transactional: true` — holds).
+
+## Eager (pipelined) connect
+
+`Client.connect` normally performs a blocking Connect→ConnectOk handshake, so
+every fresh connection pays a protocol round trip before its first query.
+With `eager: true` the promise resolves as soon as the socket is open and the
+Connect frame is written; queries issued immediately are queued right behind
+the Connect frame on the wire, and the server answers everything in order.
+For connection-per-request callers this removes the handshake round trip
+entirely:
+
+```typescript
+const client = await Client.connect({ host, port, eager: true });
+// No extra round trip — this query rides directly behind the Connect frame.
+const result = await client.query("count(User)");
+```
+
+If the handshake then fails (bad password, protocol mismatch), every queued
+query rejects with the handshake error (`code: "auth_failed"`, etc.) and the
+client closes. Two things to know:
+
+- `client.serverVersion` is `""` until the ConnectOk arrives.
+- `await client.ready()` waits for the handshake outcome explicitly — it
+  resolves on ConnectOk and rejects with the handshake error. (For non-eager
+  clients it has already settled by the time `connect` returns.)
