-## Quickstart
+## Quickstart: observe first
+
+```sh
+npm install wayleave
+```
+
+[Create a Meter account](https://meter.wayleave.dev/account.html), issue an API key,
+and set `WAYLEAVE_METER_KEY` in your server environment. Signing in does not
+start billing. The optional hosted Meter trial requires a card and becomes
+$49/month after 3 days unless canceled; see your account for current terms.
+
+In your existing Express app:
+
+```js
+import Wayleave from 'wayleave';
+
+if (!process.env.WAYLEAVE_METER_KEY) {
+  throw new Error('Set WAYLEAVE_METER_KEY before starting the app');
+}
+const gate = new Wayleave({
+  meter: { apiKey: process.env.WAYLEAVE_METER_KEY },
+});
+app.use(gate.express()); // before the routes you want to observe
+```
+
+Send a request to your app, allow the buffer to flush, then open the
+[Meter dashboard](https://meter.wayleave.dev/app.html). No pricing, blocking,
+or rate limits are configured in this example. Drain `gate.sink.close()`
+during your application's graceful shutdown. Keep the key server-side.
+
+The middleware also works without an account: omit `meter` and use `onEvent`
+to send events to your own backend. See [integration docs](https://meter.wayleave.dev/docs.html).

 ## Guarantees, honestly stated
 
 - Signature verification is real Ed25519 over an RFC 9421 signature base — forged keys, tampered requests, expired signatures, and replay-farming windows are all rejected. Tested adversarially, and against other implementations' wire formats rather than only its own.
+- A signature is single-use only when the signer sends a nonce. `signRequest(..., nonce)` will issue one (`true` for random, or supply your own) and the gate then refuses a repeat. Without a nonce there is nothing to remember a request by, and a captured signature stays usable until it expires — on any path of the host, since the Web Bot Auth profile covers only `@authority`. Opt in when you sign per attempt; leave it off if your client retries by resending the same headers.
 - Signature parameters are parsed as an RFC 9421 dictionary: order-independent, `alg` enforced as Ed25519, any signature label, and the signature base is built from whatever components the signer declared. Requests signed in Cloudflare's documented format verify.
-- Sub-millisecond per request. Your latency budget won't notice.
+- Local verification is benchmarked by the tests; latency depends on your hardware and configuration. Payment-provider network calls add latency.
 - The metering hook can throw, crash, or hang your billing backend — serving continues. Your uptime never depends on ours.
 - Key rotation has a seam but no implementation. `directories` accepts a resolver function you can point at a cache, but there is no JWKS fetcher in the box and the resolver must not block. Wiring that cache is still your job.
 - **A bot that sends a browser `user-agent` and an `accept-language` header is classified `human` and crosses priced routes free.** Those two headers are the entire bypass. The `human` lane is a fall-through — it is reached by tripping none of the automation tells, which is absence of evidence, not evidence of a person. There is no TLS fingerprinting and no challenge here; that work belongs at your edge or CDN, and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest version of this list. (`verifyAgentIP` checks a *declared* operator against its published ranges — it does nothing about a request claiming to be a browser, which is this bypass.) `strictPricedPaths: true` inverts the burden on priced routes so that only a verified signature or your own `confirmHuman(req)` crosses. Recommended wherever there is a price.
