+
+That also installs the `cauli-worker` binary, but only where its wheels exist:
+Linux (glibc) on x86_64 or aarch64, CPython 3.10 through 3.14. Anywhere else, a
+macOS laptop, Windows, PyPy, a CPython newer than the release matrix, the worker
+requirement is dropped rather than failing the install: the client still lands
+and enqueueing still works, there is simply no `cauli-worker` to run. Two
+targets fail the install instead, because no marker can describe them: musl
+(Alpine) and the free threaded build. For those, and for enqueue only web dynos
+that never run a worker, see `PROTOCOL.md` section 13.4.
+
+## Define an app and tasks (myproj/tasks.py)
+
+    from cauli import Cauli
+
+    app = Cauli(redis_url="redis://localhost:6379/0", default_queue="default")

+    def crunch(n: int) -> int:   # cpu task: runs in a child Python process
+        return sum(i * i for i in range(n))
+
+## Enqueue from Django, FastAPI, or Flask
+
+    from myproj.tasks import send_email

+    r = send_email.apply_async(args=("a@b.com",), countdown=30, queue="emails",
+                               idempotency_key="welcome:a@b.com")
+    r.status()           # "pending" | "success" | "failure" | "duplicate" | "expired"
+    r.get(timeout=10)    # value on success; raises TaskFailedError / TimeoutError
+
+Tasks stay directly callable for tests: `crunch(10)` runs inline, no broker needed.
+

+"""cauli._codec: JSON encode/decode, backed by msgspec.
+
+The wire format is plain JSON (PROTOCOL.md sections 2, 5.1, 8); this module
+only decides HOW that JSON is produced and parsed, never WHAT crosses the
+wire.
+
+msgspec is a hard requirement, not an accelerator. There is deliberately no
+stdlib ``json`` fallback: a fallback means the slow path can silently survive
+in production, and — worse here — the two backends did not agree. They
+disagreed on lone surrogates, on dict-key coercion (the stdlib silently turns
+``{1: "a"}`` into ``{"1": "a"}`` while msgspec rejects a ``bool`` key
+outright), and on which exception type surfaces. One implementation means one
+set of semantics to reason about and to test.
+
+Note that msgspec is PERMISSIVE where the stdlib is strict, so the validation
+walk below is load-bearing rather than belt-and-braces. Measured against
+msgspec 0.21: it encodes ``NaN``/``Infinity`` to ``null`` (silently corrupting
+the value), accepts ``set`` (as an array) and ``bytes`` (as base64), and
+coerces int dict keys to strings. All of those must be rejected to keep the
+protocol honest, so ``_validate_json_types`` walks the object tree first and
+enforces the JSON type set. What msgspec does handle correctly on its own is a
+lone surrogate, which raises ``UnicodeEncodeError`` at encode time.
+
+``encode`` returns ``bytes``; call sites either hand that straight to redis
+(which accepts bytes) or funnel it through :func:`encode_str` /
+:func:`encode_bytes`. ``decode`` accepts ``bytes`` or ``str``.
