-
-## What is this?
-
-`actor-ts` is a **batteries-included actor-model runtime** for TypeScript —
-messages, mailboxes, supervisors, location-transparent refs, the whole
-Erlang-style actor toolkit — running natively on **Bun**, **Node.js**, and
-**Deno**.
-
-A short tour of what's in the box:
-
-- **Actors** — single-threaded per-mailbox processing, lifecycle hooks, stash,
-  timers, become/unbecome, supervision (restart / resume / stop / escalate).
-- **Cluster** — gossip membership, φ-accrual failure detection, split-brain
-  resolvers, weakly-up, multiple transports (TCP, MessageChannel, in-memory).
-- **Cluster sharding + singleton + pub-sub + reliable delivery + receptionist**
-  — production patterns from the actor-model tradition.
-- **Distributed Data** — eight CRDTs (counters, registers, sets, maps) with
-  durable-storage backend, quorum reads/writes, automatic gossip.
-- **Persistence** — `PersistentActor`, `DurableState`, snapshots, projections,
-  persistence-query, replicated event sourcing.  Journals for in-memory,
-  SQLite (via Bun-SQLite + better-sqlite3), Cassandra / ScyllaDB.
-- **Object storage** — S3 / MinIO / R2 / filesystem with optional gzip/zstd
-  compression and client-side AES-256-GCM encryption (per-tenant subkeys via
-  HKDF).
-- **HTTP** — directive-style routing DSL with Fastify default, Express + Hono
-  backends, response caching, rate-limiting, idempotency-key dedup.
-- **Message brokers** — single `BrokerActor` base with Kafka, MQTT, AMQP,
-  NATS, Redis-Streams, gRPC, WebSocket, SSE, raw TCP/UDP integrations.
-  Reconnect-with-backoff, outbound buffer, subscriber fan-out are baked in.
-- **Caching** — pluggable Cache with in-memory, Redis, Memcached backends.
-- **Observability** — Prometheus exporter, OTel tracing + metrics, management
-  HTTP endpoints (`/health`, `/ready`, `/cluster/members`, `/sharding/regions`),
-  out-of-the-box stock metrics.
-- **TestKit** — `TestProbe`, `ManualScheduler`, `MultiNodeSpec` for
-  deterministic tests including cluster scenarios.
-
-Everything works under any of the three runtimes — runtime-specific backends
-(TCP sockets, worker threads, SQLite, HTTP serve) live behind small
-abstractions in [`src/runtime/`](./src/runtime/) and auto-detect at startup.
-
----
-
-## Quick start
-
-```bash
-bun add actor-ts                                  # Bun
-npm install actor-ts                              # Node
-# Deno: no install — import via `npm:actor-ts`
-```
-
-```ts
-import { Actor, ActorSystem, Props } from 'actor-ts';
-
-class Greeter extends Actor<string> {
-  override onReceive(name: string): void {
-    console.log(`hello, ${name}!`);
-  }
-}
-
-const system = ActorSystem.create('hello');
-const ref    = system.spawn(Props.create(() => new Greeter()), 'greeter');
-
-ref.tell('world');
-
-await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 20));
-await system.terminate();
-```
-
-The same file runs unchanged under `bun run`, `node` and `deno run`.
-
----
-
-## A few more patterns
-
-A flavour of what idiomatic `actor-ts` code looks like — pick the
-snippet that matches what you're reaching for.
-
-### Typed messages + pattern matching
-
-Discriminated-union messages plus `match().exhaustive()` from
-[`ts-pattern`](https://github.com/gvergnaud/ts-pattern) give you a
-compile-time check that every variant is handled. Add a new variant
-to `Cmd` without a matching `with(...)` arm and TypeScript fails the
-build.
-
-```ts
-import { Actor, ActorSystem, Props, type ActorRef } from 'actor-ts';
-import { match } from 'ts-pattern';
-
-type Cmd =
-  | { kind: 'inc' }
-  | { kind: 'dec' }
-  | { kind: 'get'; replyTo: ActorRef<number> };
-
-class Counter extends Actor<Cmd> {
-  private count = 0;
-  override onReceive(cmd: Cmd): void {
-    match(cmd)
-      .with({ kind: 'inc' }, () => { this.count++; })
-      .with({ kind: 'dec' }, () => { this.count--; })
-      .with({ kind: 'get' }, m => m.replyTo.tell(this.count))
-      .exhaustive();
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Ask pattern — request / response
-
-`tell` is fire-and-forget; `ref.ask<Reply>(msg)` awaits a typed
-reply with a configurable timeout.  The framework spawns a
-one-shot reply actor, wires it as both `replyTo` and
-`context.sender`, and resolves the promise when the target replies.
-
-```ts
-import { ActorSystem, Props } from 'actor-ts';
-
-const system  = ActorSystem.create('demo');
-const counter = system.spawnAnonymous(Props.create(() => new Counter()));
-
-counter.tell({ kind: 'inc' });
-counter.tell({ kind: 'inc' });
-
-const value = await counter.ask<number>({ kind: 'get' }, 5_000);
-console.log(value);  // 2
-```
-
-### Event-sourced actor
-
-State is rebuilt from a journal on every restart — no in-place
-mutation, no "did this write commit?" question. Same `Counter` API
-the rest of the app sees, every mutation durable.
-
-```ts
-import { PersistentActor, ActorSystem, Props } from 'actor-ts';
-
-type Cmd   = { kind: 'inc' } | { kind: 'dec' };
-type Event = { kind: 'incremented' } | { kind: 'decremented' };
-interface State { count: number }
-
-class Counter extends PersistentActor<Cmd, Event, State> {
-  readonly persistenceId = 'counter-1';
-  initialState(): State { return { count: 0 }; }
-  onEvent(s: State, e: Event): State {
-    return e.kind === 'incremented'
-      ? { count: s.count + 1 }
-      : { count: s.count - 1 };
-  }
-  onCommand(_state: State, cmd: Cmd): void {
-    this.persist({
-      kind: cmd.kind === 'inc' ? 'incremented' : 'decremented',
-    });
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Cluster sharding — N instances behind one ref
-
-Same actor code; the framework routes per-entity messages to the
-correct node in the cluster and migrates entities when nodes come
-and go. The `ShardRegion` ref you get back behaves like any other
-`ActorRef` to callers.
-
-```ts
-import { Cluster } from 'actor-ts';
-
-// One-call bootstrap — system + cluster + receptionist + SIGTERM
-// wiring in one line.  Discovery defaults to an env-driven chain
-// (CLUSTER_SEEDS → K8s API → DNS); local dev with no env produces
-// a single-node cluster, which is exactly what you want.
-const { system, cluster } = await Cluster.bootstrap({ name: 'app' });
-
-const cartRegion = cluster.sharding.start('cart', CartActor, {
-  extractEntityId: (msg: CartCmd) => msg.entityId,
-});
-
-cartRegion.tell({ entityId: 'user-42', kind: 'add', sku: 'book-1' });
-```

-
-> 📚 **[actor-ts.dev](https://actor-ts.dev/)** —
-> full documentation site with concept guides, runnable examples, and an
-> auto-generated API reference.
-
-The docs site is the canonical entry point.  Highlights:
-
-- **[Quickstart](https://actor-ts.dev/intro/quickstart/)** —
-  hello-actor in five minutes.
-- **[Why actors?](https://actor-ts.dev/intro/why-actors/)** —
-  what the actor model gives you that Promise/Worker code doesn't.
-- **[Migrating from Akka / Pekko / Orleans](https://actor-ts.dev/migration/overview/)** —
-  for people coming from another actor framework.
-- **[API reference](https://actor-ts.dev/api/)** —
-  every public class, function, type generated from JSDoc.
-
----
-
-## Examples
-
-Two end-to-end sample apps that exercise the framework comprehensively, each
-with six interchangeable frontends (Plain HTML, Lit, Angular, React, Next.js,
-SvelteKit) talking the same WebSocket protocol to a clustered backend:
-
-- **[`examples/chat/`](./examples/chat/)** — multi-room chat with sharding,
-  persistence, DMs, typing indicators, read receipts, production-realistic
-  auth.  Demonstrates `ClusterSharding`, `DistributedPubSub`, `PersistentActor`,
-  `DistributedData` (ORSet, LWWMap), `ClusterSingleton`, failover.
-- **[`examples/voice/`](./examples/voice/)** — voice rooms with PCM-encoded
-  audio streaming over WebSocket.  Same cluster infrastructure, different
-  protocol shape.
-
-Run either with `bun examples/chat/backend/main.ts --port 2551` (then
-`--seeds localhost:2551` on additional terminals), open
-`http://localhost:8080`, pick a frontend, and poke.
