-* Using atoms allows you to have type safety, validation, and default values for your state.
-*
-* You control how state is structured and validated.
-*
-* Features:
-* - Set a schema for validation
-* - Set a default value for initial state
-* - Rules, like read-only, custom validation, etc.
-* - Automatic getter access in services with {@link $use}
-* - SSR support (server state automatically serialized and hydrated on client)
-* - React integration (useAtom hook for automatic component re-renders)
-* - Middleware
-* - Persistence adapters (localStorage, Redis, database, file system, cookie, etc.)
-* - State migrations (version upgrades when schema changes)
-* - Documentation generation & devtools integration
-*
-* Common use cases:
-* - user preferences
-* - feature flags
-* - configuration options
-* - session data
-*
-* Atom must contain only serializable data.
-* Avoid storing complex objects like class instances, functions, or DOM elements.

-/**
-* Core container of the Alepha framework.
-*
-* It is responsible for managing the lifecycle of services,
-* handling dependency injection,
-* and providing a unified interface for the application.
-*
-* @example
-* ```ts
-* import { Alepha, run } from "alepha";
-*
-* class MyService {
-*   // business logic here
-* }
-*
-* const alepha = Alepha.create({
-*   // state, env, and other properties
-* })
-*
-* alepha.with(MyService);
-*
-* run(alepha); // trigger .start (and .stop) automatically
-* ```
-*
-* ### Alepha Factory
-*
-* Alepha.create() is an enhanced version of new Alepha().
-* - It merges `process.env` with the provided state.env when available.
-* - It populates the test hooks for Vitest or Jest environments when available.
-*
-* new Alepha() is fine if you don't need these helpers.
-*
-* ### Platforms & Environments
-*
-* Alepha is designed to work in various environments:
-* - **Browser**: Runs in the browser, using the global `window` object.
-* - **Serverless**: Runs in serverless environments like Vercel or Vite.
-* - **Test**: Runs in test environments like Jest or Vitest.
-* - **Production**: Runs in production environments, typically with NODE_ENV set to "production".
-* * You can check the current environment using the following methods:
-*
-* - `isBrowser()`: Returns true if the App is running in a browser environment.
-* - `isServerless()`: Returns true if the App is running in a serverless environment.
-* - `isTest()`: Returns true if the App is running in a test environment.
-* - `isProduction()`: Returns true if the App is running in a production environment.
-*
-* ### State & Environment
-*
-* The state of the Alepha container is stored in the `store` property.
-* Most important property is `store.env`, which contains the environment variables.
-*
-* ```ts
-* const alepha = Alepha.create({ env: { MY_VAR: "value" } });
-*
-* // You can access the environment variables using alepha.env
-* console.log(alepha.env.MY_VAR); // "value"
-*
-* // But you should use $env() primitive to get typed values from the environment.
-* class App {
-*   env = $env(
-*     t.object({
-*  	   MY_VAR: t.text(),
-*     })
-*   );
-* }
-* ```
-*
-* ### Modules
-*
-* Modules are a way to group services together.
-* You can register a module using the `$module` primitive.
-*
-* ```ts
-* import { $module } from "alepha";
-*
-* class MyLib {}
-*
-* const myModule = $module({
-*   name: "my.project.module",
-*   services: [MyLib],
-* });
-* ```
-*
-* Do not use modules for small applications.
-*
-* ### Hooks
-*
-* Hooks are a way to run async functions from all registered providers/services.
-* You can register a hook using the `$hook` primitive.
-*
-* ```ts
-* import { $hook } from "alepha";
-*
-* class App {
-* 	 log = $logger();
-* 	 onCustomerHook = $hook({
-* 			on: "my:custom:hook",
-* 			handler: () => {
-* 		 	  this.log?.info("App is being configured");
-* 	 		},
-* 	  });
-* 	}
-*
-* Alepha.create()
-* 	 .with(App)
-* 	 .start()
-* 	 .then(alepha => alepha.events.emit("my:custom:hook"));
-* ```
-*
-* 	Hooks are fully typed. You can create your own hooks by using module augmentation:
-*
-* 	```ts
-* 	declare module "alepha" {
-* 		interface Hooks {
-* 		  "my:custom:hook": {
-* 				arg1: string;
-* 		  }
-* 		}
-* 	}
-* 	```

+* - Automatic getter access in services with {@link $use}
+* - SSR support (server state automatically serialized and hydrated on client)

+* - Middleware
+* - Persistence adapters (localStorage, Redis, database, file system, cookie, etc.)
+* - State migrations (version upgrades when schema changes)
+* - Documentation generation & devtools integration

 /**
-* Create a pagination object from an array of entities.
+* Core container of the Alepha framework.
+*
+* It is responsible for managing the lifecycle of services,
+* handling dependency injection,
+* and providing a unified interface for the application.
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* import { Alepha, run } from "alepha";
+*
+* class MyService {
+*   // business logic here
+* }
+*
+* const alepha = Alepha.create({
+*   // state, env, and other properties
+* })
+*
+* alepha.with(MyService);
+*
+* run(alepha); // trigger .start (and .stop) automatically
+* ```
+*
+* ### Alepha Factory
+*
+* Alepha.create() is an enhanced version of new Alepha().
+* - It merges `process.env` with the provided state.env when available.
+* - It populates the test hooks for Vitest or Jest environments when available.
 *
-* This is a pure function that works with any data source (databases, APIs, caches, arrays, etc.).
-* It handles the core pagination logic including:
-* - Slicing the content to the requested page size
-* - Calculating pagination metadata (offset, page number, etc.)
-* - Determining navigation state (isFirst, isLast)
-* - Including sort metadata when provided
+* new Alepha() is fine if you don't need these helpers.
 *
-* @param entities - The entities to paginate (should include one extra item to detect if there's a next page)
-* @param limit - The limit of the pagination (page size)
-* @param offset - The offset of the pagination (starting position)
-* @param sort - Optional sort metadata to include in response
-* @returns A complete Page object with content and metadata
+* ### Platforms & Environments
+*
+* Alepha is designed to work in various environments:
+* - **Browser**: Runs in the browser, using the global `window` object.
+* - **Serverless**: Runs in serverless environments like Vercel or Vite.
+* - **Test**: Runs in test environments like Jest or Vitest.
+* - **Production**: Runs in production environments, typically with NODE_ENV set to "production".
+* * You can check the current environment using the following methods:
+*
+* - `isBrowser()`: Returns true if the App is running in a browser environment.
+* - `isServerless()`: Returns true if the App is running in a serverless environment.
+* - `isTest()`: Returns true if the App is running in a test environment.
+* - `isProduction()`: Returns true if the App is running in a production environment.
+*
+* ### State & Environment
+*
+* The state of the Alepha container is stored in the `store` property.
+* Most important property is `store.env`, which contains the environment variables.
 *
-* @example Basic pagination
 * ```ts
-* const users = await fetchUsers({ limit: 11, offset: 0 }); // Fetch limit + 1
-* const page = createPagination(users, 10, 0);
-* // page.content has max 10 items
-* // page.page.isLast tells us if there are more pages
+* const alepha = Alepha.create({ env: { MY_VAR: "value" } });
+*
+* // You can access the environment variables using alepha.env
+* console.log(alepha.env.MY_VAR); // "value"
+*
+* // But you should use $env() primitive to get typed values from the environment.
+* class App {
+*   env = $env(
+*     t.object({
+*  	   MY_VAR: t.text(),
+*     })
+*   );
+* }
 * ```
 *
-* @example With sorting
+* ### Modules
+*
+* Modules are a way to group services together.
+* You can register a module using the `$module` primitive.
+*
 * ```ts
-* const page = createPagination(
-*   entities,
-*   10,
-*   0,
-*   [{ column: "name", direction: "asc" }]
-* );
+* import { $module } from "alepha";
+*
+* class MyLib {}
+*
+* const myModule = $module({
+*   name: "my.project.module",
+*   services: [MyLib],
+* });
 * ```
 *
-* @example In a custom service
+* Do not use modules for small applications.
+*
+* ### Hooks
+*
+* Hooks are a way to run async functions from all registered providers/services.
+* You can register a hook using the `$hook` primitive.
+*
 * ```ts
-* class MyService {
-*   async listItems(page: number, size: number) {
-*     const items = await this.fetchItems({ limit: size + 1, offset: page * size });
-*     return createPagination(items, size, page * size);
-*   }
-* }
+* import { $hook } from "alepha";
+*
+* class App {
+* 	 log = $logger();
+* 	 onCustomerHook = $hook({
+* 			on: "my:custom:hook",
+* 			handler: () => {
+* 		 	  this.log?.info("App is being configured");
+* 	 		},
+* 	  });
+* 	}
+*
+* Alepha.create()
+* 	 .with(App)
+* 	 .start()
+* 	 .then(alepha => alepha.events.emit("my:custom:hook"));
 * ```
+*
+* 	Hooks are fully typed. You can create your own hooks by using module augmentation:
+*
+* 	```ts
+* 	declare module "alepha" {
+* 		interface Hooks {
+* 		  "my:custom:hook": {
+* 				arg1: string;
+* 		  }
+* 		}
+* 	}
+* 	```
+*
+* 	@module alepha

+* Create a pagination object from an array of entities.

+* It handles the core pagination logic including:
+* - Slicing the content to the requested page size
+* - Calculating pagination metadata (offset, page number, etc.)
+* - Determining navigation state (isFirst, isLast)
+* - Including sort metadata when provided
+*
+* @param entities - The entities to paginate (should include one extra item to detect if there's a next page)
+* @param limit - The limit of the pagination (page size)
+* @param offset - The offset of the pagination (starting position)
+* @param sort - Optional sort metadata to include in response
+* @returns A complete Page object with content and metadata
+*
+* @example Basic pagination
+* ```ts
+* const users = await fetchUsers({ limit: 11, offset: 0 }); // Fetch limit + 1
+* const page = createPagination(users, 10, 0);
+* // page.content has max 10 items
+* // page.page.isLast tells us if there are more pages
+* ```
+*
+* @example With sorting
+* ```ts
+* const page = createPagination(
+*   entities,
+*   10,
+*   0,
+*   [{ column: "name", direction: "asc" }]

-* Registers a new hook.

-* import { $hook } from "alepha";
-*
-* class MyProvider {
-*   onStart = $hook({
-*     name: "start", // or "configure", "ready", "stop", ...
-*     handler: async (app) => {

-*   });
-* }
-* ```
-*
-* Hooks are used to run async functions from all registered providers/services.
-*
-* You can't register a hook after the App has started.
-*
-* It's used under the hood by the `configure`, `start`, and `stop` methods.
-* Some modules also use hooks to run their own logic. (e.g. `alepha/server`).
-*
-* You can create your own hooks by using module augmentation:
-*
-* ```ts
-* declare module "alepha" {
-*
-*   interface Hooks {
-*     "my:custom:hook": {
-*       arg1: string;
-*     }
-*   }
-* }
-*
-* await alepha.events.emit("my:custom:hook", { arg1: "value" });
-* ```
