-#### `resources`
-- **Type:** `object | array`
-- **Description:** Resource definitions to register in the server resource pool and start after server startup.
-- **Lifecycle:** Resources are started automatically after the HTTP server is listening and stopped automatically during `server.close()`.
-- **Supported forms:**
-  - In-process resource instance
-  - In-process resource constructor/class config
-  - Process resource config (`type: 'process'` or inferred from `command`)
-  - Remote process resource config (`type: 'remote'` or inferred from `host`/`endpoints`)
-- **Example:**
-  ```javascript
-  Server.serve({
-      resources: {
-          // In-process resource instance
-          cache: new In_Process_Cache_Resource({ name: 'cache' }),
-
-          // Process_Resource in direct mode (default)
-          worker_direct: {
-              type: 'process',
-              command: process.execPath,
-              args: ['worker.js'],
-              autoRestart: true
-          },
-
-          // Process_Resource in PM2 mode (pm2Path optional)
-          worker_pm2: {
-              type: 'process',
-              processManager: { type: 'pm2' },

-          }
-      }
-  });

-**Process resource notes:**
-- `processManager` defaults to `direct`.
-- PM2 works without explicitly setting `pm2Path`:
-  - `processManager.pm2Path` (if provided)
-  - `PM2_PATH` env var (if provided)
-  - local `node_modules/.bin/pm2` (if present)
-  - `pm2` from `PATH`
-
-#### `events`
-- **Type:** `boolean | object`
-- **Description:** Enables a built-in SSE endpoint for resource lifecycle events.
-- **Default:** `false`
-- **When `true`:**
-  - Registers `HTTP_SSE_Publisher` at `/events`
-  - Forwards resource pool lifecycle events (`resource_state_change`, `crashed`, `unhealthy`, `unreachable`, `recovered`)
-- **When object:** Supports publisher options such as `route`, `name`, `keepaliveIntervalMs`, `maxClients`.
-- **Example:**
-  ```javascript
-  Server.serve({
-      events: {
-          route: '/events',
-          keepaliveIntervalMs: 15000,
-          maxClients: 200
-      }
