 ### `BareMetal.init(config)`
 Initializes the engine, sets up the Router, and binds global configurations.
 
-**Parameters:**
-- `config.debug` *(boolean)*: Enable verbose console logs (default: `false`).
-- `config.keepAliveSameModules` *(boolean)*: If true, modules shared between routes are not destroyed during navigation (default: `true`).
-- `config.autoWrap` *(boolean)*: If true, modules that do not export a `mount` function are automatically wrapped in a dynamic Blob URL to prevent syntax errors (default: `true`).
-- `config.transition` *(object)*: Configuration for the native page transition API.
-  - `config.transition.enabled` *(boolean)*: Enables the protected transition module.
-  - `config.transition.module` *(string)*: Optional path to a custom transition module (defaults to `/src/transition.js`).
-  - `config.transition.simulatedDelay` *(number)*: Optional artificial delay in milliseconds (useful for testing animations locally).
+**Configuration Reference:**
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `debug` | boolean | `false` | Enable verbose console logs. |
+| `keepAliveSameModules` | boolean | `true` | Prevent destruction of modules shared between routes. |
+| `autoWrap` | boolean | `true` | Automatically wrap modules that do not export a `mount` function. |
+| `hoverPrefetch` | boolean | `false` | Enable 0ms latency pre-fetching on link hover. |
+| `persistState` | boolean | `false` | Automatically serialize `stateManager` to `sessionStorage` for F5 resilience. |
+| `virtualizeDom` | boolean | `false` | Inject the `Virtualizer` helper into module mount contexts. |
+| `showErrorNotification` | boolean | `false` | Enable floating error boundaries on navigation failures. |
+| `transition.enabled` | boolean | `false` | Enable the protected transition module. |
+| `transition.module` | string | `null` | Path to a custom transition module (defaults to `/src/transition.js`). |
+| `transition.simulatedDelay` | number | `0` | Artificial delay (ms) for testing transitions. |
+| `transition.useViewTransitions` | boolean | `false` | Enables the native View Transitions API for smooth cross-fades during navigation. |
