+  <strong>Python port of the Macula mesh wire protocol</strong>
+</p>
+
+---
+
+## What is this?
+
+A native Python implementation of the client half of Macula's wire
+protocol -- the same protocol [`macula-io/macula`](https://github.com/macula-io/macula)
+(the Erlang/OTP SDK) speaks, and the same protocol
+[`macula-go`](https://github.com/macula-io/macula-go) and
+[`macula-rust`](https://github.com/macula-io/macula-rust) already port.
+Macula is a federated mesh for sovereign, end-to-end-encrypted
+application networks; a **station** is the relay/DHT node, and this
+package is what a **leaf** -- anything that isn't itself a station --
+uses to join it.
+
+## Quick start
+
+Also lives as a runnable example -- `python examples/quickstart.py`:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+import uuid
+
+from macula_py import frame
+from macula_py.connection import Session
+from macula_py.identity import KeyPair
+
+STATION_HOST = "station-de-frankfurt.macula.io"
+STATION_PORT = 4433
+REALM = bytes(32)
+PROCEDURE = f"macula_py.quickstart_echo.{uuid.uuid4().hex}"
+
+
+async def main() -> None:
+    # Puzzle-hardened identity -- required. An unhardened identity fails
+    # the handshake silently (QUIC/TLS looks healthy, HELLO never accepts).
+    provider_identity = KeyPair.generate()
+    caller_identity = KeyPair.generate()
+
+    async with await Session.connect(STATION_HOST, STATION_PORT, provider_identity) as provider:
+        await provider.advertise(REALM, PROCEDURE)
+        await asyncio.sleep(0.5)  # ADVERTISE is fire-and-forget; give it a moment to land
+
+        async def echo(payload):
+            return payload
+
+        serve_task = asyncio.create_task(provider.serve_one_call(lambda realm, proc: echo, timeout=10))
+
+        async with await Session.connect(STATION_HOST, STATION_PORT, caller_identity) as caller:
+            deadline_ms = frame.current_millis() + 5_000
+            response = await caller.call(PROCEDURE, REALM, "hello", deadline_ms, timeout=5)
+
+        await serve_task
+        print(response)
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+Two identities are used (a provider and a caller) because a station
+kicks a connection the instant a second one arrives under the same
+identity -- the same reason every one of this SDK's own live tests uses
+separate `KeyPair`s for each role.
+
+## Status, 2026-09-05 (phase 1 basics complete, all live-verified)
+
+Built and verified in the order every sibling SDK was built in:
+
+- **Identity** (`macula_py.identity`) -- Ed25519 keypairs, S/Kademlia
+  puzzle-hardened generation (matches `macula_identity.erl`'s own
+  default: puzzle-hardened by default, no unhardened shortcut exposed),
+  sign/verify, atomic key-file persistence in the exact wire format
+  `macula_identity:save/2` uses.
+- **Deterministic CBOR** (`macula_py.cbor`) -- a hand-rolled codec matching
+  `macula_record_cbor.erl` exactly, NOT a generic CBOR library (this
+  wire's rules diverge from RFC 8949's own canonical form: floats are
+  always full binary64 never the shorter widths, map keys sort by their
+  own encoded bytes, and there is no boolean simple value on this wire
+  at all -- every SDK's convention is 1/0). Verified byte-for-byte
+  against the real Erlang encoder itself (see
+  `tests/test_cbor_golden_vectors.py`), not just self-consistency.
+- **BLAKE3** (`macula_py.blake3_hash`) -- content-addressing, backed by the
+  same Rust `blake3` crate `macula_crypto_nif` uses (not Erlang's own
+  pure fallback, which its own source documents as NOT cryptographically
+  real BLAKE3). Cross-verified against the real NIF's output.
+- **The frame envelope** (`macula_py.frame`) -- Ed25519-signed frame
+  construction/verification and the length-prefixed wire codec, matching
+  `macula_frame.erl` exactly, including its frame-level
+  boolean-as-text-string convention (distinct from `macula_py.cbor`'s own
+  payload-level 1/0 convention -- these are two different rules for two
+  different layers, confirmed by reading the Erlang source directly). A
+  signed CONNECT frame built entirely by this module was independently
+  decoded and signature-verified by the real, unmodified Erlang
+  `macula_frame` module -- genuine cross-language wire and cryptographic
+  compatibility, not just self-consistency.
+- **QUIC transport + CONNECT/HELLO handshake** (`macula_py.connection`) --
+  built on `aioquic`. **Live-verified against the real production
+  station fleet** (`station-de-frankfurt.macula.io`): a real handshake
+  completes, the HELLO's signature verifies, `accepted` is `true`.
+- **Unary RPC, both roles** (`Session.call`/`Session.advertise`/
+  `Session.serve_one_call`) -- BOLT#4 error taxonomy (`macula_py.bolt4`).
+  **Live-verified to the standard this org's own SDK work holds real
+  proof to**: not just "reached the call stage with a clean
+  `unknown_next_peer`" (which only proves the caller's own path works),
+  but a genuine advertise+serve+call round trip returning an actual
+  RESULT payload from an actual running handler, plus a handler that
+  raises correctly reporting `unknown_error` with detail.
+- **PubSub, both roles** (`Session.publish`/`Session.subscribe`/
+  `Session.unsubscribe`/`Session.recv_event`). **Live-verified**: a real
+  publish/subscribe round trip within one session, a real cross-session
+  delivery (separate identities, separate connections), and unsubscribe
+  actually stopping delivery. Real finding, root-caused: SUBSCRIBE needs
+  a moment to register at the station before a PUBLISH sent immediately
+  afterward is reliably delivered -- same shape as RPC's own
+  ADVERTISE-needs-a-moment finding, documented in
+  `tests/test_pubsub_live.py`.
+
+- **Content transfer** (`macula_py.manifest`, `macula_py.content`) -- fixed-size
+  chunking, Merkle-root computation, and MCID derivation matching
+  `macula_manifest.erl` exactly (cross-verified byte-for-byte against the
+  real Erlang implementation for a 3-chunk input, including the
+  odd-chunk-paired-with-itself fold case), plus `put`/`get` over the
+  `_content.*` RPCs on a dedicated QUIC stream. **Live-verified**: single
+  block and chunked (multi-block) put/get round trips, not_found
+  handling, and cross-session put/get all pass against the real fleet.
+  Found and fixed a genuine bug along the way in **macula-station**
+  itself (not this SDK, and not SDK-specific -- it affected every
+  client): `_content.put_manifest` crashed with a generic
+  `temporary_relay_failure` for any manifest whose `name` wasn't already
+  an interned Erlang atom, i.e. any real content name. Root-caused via a
+  standalone reproduction against the real unmodified station code,
+  fixed at the source (macula-io/macula-station), and confirmed live
+  against the production fleet before calling this piece done.
+
+- **Streaming RPC, both caller and provider roles** (`Session.open_stream`/
+  `Session.accept_stream`, `macula_py.connection.StreamHandle`) --
+  STREAM_OPEN/DATA/END/ERROR/REPLY over their own dedicated QUIC stream
+  (like content transfer, not the control stream), matching
+  `macula_frame.erl`'s constructors and `macula_station_link.erl`'s own
+  open/dispatch sequencing exactly, including the `signer`/`responded_by`
+  fields non-OPEN stream frames carry for cross-hop authentication.
+  Cross-verified in both directions against real Erlang-signed frames
+  (this module decodes and signature-verifies frames built by the actual
+  `macula_frame:stream_*/1` + `sign/2`; frames this module builds decode
+  and verify cleanly against the real Erlang `macula_frame:decode/1` too)
+  -- see `tests/test_frame_streaming.py`. A stream procedure is
+  advertised exactly like a unary one (`Session.advertise`): the wire's
+  ADVERTISE frame doesn't distinguish them, and what disambiguates on
+  the receiving end is that STREAM_OPEN always arrives on a fresh
+  dedicated stream while CALL always arrives on the control stream.
+  **Live-verified**: real `server_stream` AND `client_stream` round
+  trips against the production fleet -- provider-pushes-chunks and
+  caller-pushes-chunks both confirmed working end to end, including the
+  terminal STREAM_REPLY reaching the other side in both directions.
+
+  `client_stream`/`bidi`'s round trip was `xfail` until 2026-09-05:
+  macula-station's own stream-route lifecycle
+  (`macula_station_peer_observer.erl`) used to drop the *entire*
+  bidirectional route on the first terminal frame it saw for a
+  stream_id rather than deciding per the session's actual mode, so a
+  `client_stream` caller's own half-close (`STREAM_END(role=send)`)
+  tore the route down before the provider's reply could be relayed
+  back. Found via this SDK's own live testing, fixed at the source
+  (mode-aware half-close semantics, `macula-io/macula-station`
+  commit 07db0d8, verified against real production traffic patterns
+  before shipping since a naive fix would have broken working
+  `server_stream` providers on the fleet), and confirmed live here.
+
+**Not yet built**: direct-dial, periodic re-advertise, UCAN, cert-chain
+verification, and the supervised pubsub wrapper are explicitly OUT of
+scope for this first pass, matching the order every other Macula SDK
+was built and reviewed in. RPC telemetry facts are likewise deferred.
+
+## Development
+
+```sh
+python3 -m venv .venv
+.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[dev]"
+.venv/bin/pytest              # offline tests only
+.venv/bin/pytest -m live      # + live-fleet tests (dials the real production fleet)
+```
+
+This repo pins Python 3.13 via `.tool-versions` -- `aioquic`'s C
+extension dependencies do not currently build against free-threaded
+Python 3.14 builds (confirmed: `pylsqpack`'s limited-API usage hits
+missing internal refcounting symbols under `3.14t`). 3.13 and non-free-
+threaded 3.14 both build cleanly; 3.13 is pinned for reproducibility.

+Two identities are used (a provider and a caller) because a station
+kicks a connection the instant a second one arrives under the same
+identity -- the same reason every one of this SDK's own live tests uses
+separate `KeyPair`s for each role.
+
+## Status, 2026-09-05 (phase 1 basics complete, all live-verified)
+
+Built and verified in the order every sibling SDK was built in:
+
+- **Identity** (`macula_py.identity`) -- Ed25519 keypairs, S/Kademlia
+  puzzle-hardened generation (matches `macula_identity.erl`'s own
+  default: puzzle-hardened by default, no unhardened shortcut exposed),
+  sign/verify, atomic key-file persistence in the exact wire format
+  `macula_identity:save/2` uses.
+- **Deterministic CBOR** (`macula_py.cbor`) -- a hand-rolled codec matching
+  `macula_record_cbor.erl` exactly, NOT a generic CBOR library (this
+  wire's rules diverge from RFC 8949's own canonical form: floats are
+  always full binary64 never the shorter widths, map keys sort by their
+  own encoded bytes, and there is no boolean simple value on this wire
+  at all -- every SDK's convention is 1/0). Verified byte-for-byte
+  against the real Erlang encoder itself (see
+  `tests/test_cbor_golden_vectors.py`), not just self-consistency.
+- **BLAKE3** (`macula_py.blake3_hash`) -- content-addressing, backed by the
+  same Rust `blake3` crate `macula_crypto_nif` uses (not Erlang's own
+  pure fallback, which its own source documents as NOT cryptographically
+  real BLAKE3). Cross-verified against the real NIF's output.
+- **The frame envelope** (`macula_py.frame`) -- Ed25519-signed frame
+  construction/verification and the length-prefixed wire codec, matching
+  `macula_frame.erl` exactly, including its frame-level
+  boolean-as-text-string convention (distinct from `macula_py.cbor`'s own
+  payload-level 1/0 convention -- these are two different rules for two
+  different layers, confirmed by reading the Erlang source directly). A
+  signed CONNECT frame built entirely by this module was independently
+  decoded and signature-verified by the real, unmodified Erlang
+  `macula_frame` module -- genuine cross-language wire and cryptographic
+  compatibility, not just self-consistency.
+- **QUIC transport + CONNECT/HELLO handshake** (`macula_py.connection`) --
+  built on `aioquic`. **Live-verified against the real production
+  station fleet** (`station-de-frankfurt.macula.io`): a real handshake
+  completes, the HELLO's signature verifies, `accepted` is `true`.
+- **Unary RPC, both roles** (`Session.call`/`Session.advertise`/
+  `Session.serve_one_call`) -- BOLT#4 error taxonomy (`macula_py.bolt4`).
+  **Live-verified to the standard this org's own SDK work holds real
+  proof to**: not just "reached the call stage with a clean
+  `unknown_next_peer`" (which only proves the caller's own path works),
+  but a genuine advertise+serve+call round trip returning an actual
+  RESULT payload from an actual running handler, plus a handler that
+  raises correctly reporting `unknown_error` with detail.
+- **PubSub, both roles** (`Session.publish`/`Session.subscribe`/
+  `Session.unsubscribe`/`Session.recv_event`). **Live-verified**: a real
+  publish/subscribe round trip within one session, a real cross-session
+  delivery (separate identities, separate connections), and unsubscribe
+  actually stopping delivery. Real finding, root-caused: SUBSCRIBE needs
+  a moment to register at the station before a PUBLISH sent immediately
+  afterward is reliably delivered -- same shape as RPC's own
+  ADVERTISE-needs-a-moment finding, documented in
+  `tests/test_pubsub_live.py`.
+
+- **Content transfer** (`macula_py.manifest`, `macula_py.content`) -- fixed-size
+  chunking, Merkle-root computation, and MCID derivation matching
+  `macula_manifest.erl` exactly (cross-verified byte-for-byte against the
+  real Erlang implementation for a 3-chunk input, including the
+  odd-chunk-paired-with-itself fold case), plus `put`/`get` over the
+  `_content.*` RPCs on a dedicated QUIC stream. **Live-verified**: single
+  block and chunked (multi-block) put/get round trips, not_found
+  handling, and cross-session put/get all pass against the real fleet.
+  Found and fixed a genuine bug along the way in **macula-station**
+  itself (not this SDK, and not SDK-specific -- it affected every
+  client): `_content.put_manifest` crashed with a generic
+  `temporary_relay_failure` for any manifest whose `name` wasn't already
+  an interned Erlang atom, i.e. any real content name. Root-caused via a
+  standalone reproduction against the real unmodified station code,
+  fixed at the source (macula-io/macula-station), and confirmed live
+  against the production fleet before calling this piece done.
+
+- **Streaming RPC, both caller and provider roles** (`Session.open_stream`/
+  `Session.accept_stream`, `macula_py.connection.StreamHandle`) --
+  STREAM_OPEN/DATA/END/ERROR/REPLY over their own dedicated QUIC stream
+  (like content transfer, not the control stream), matching
+  `macula_frame.erl`'s constructors and `macula_station_link.erl`'s own
+  open/dispatch sequencing exactly, including the `signer`/`responded_by`
+  fields non-OPEN stream frames carry for cross-hop authentication.
+  Cross-verified in both directions against real Erlang-signed frames
+  (this module decodes and signature-verifies frames built by the actual
+  `macula_frame:stream_*/1` + `sign/2`; frames this module builds decode
+  and verify cleanly against the real Erlang `macula_frame:decode/1` too)
+  -- see `tests/test_frame_streaming.py`. A stream procedure is
+  advertised exactly like a unary one (`Session.advertise`): the wire's
+  ADVERTISE frame doesn't distinguish them, and what disambiguates on
+  the receiving end is that STREAM_OPEN always arrives on a fresh
+  dedicated stream while CALL always arrives on the control stream.
+  **Live-verified**: real `server_stream` AND `client_stream` round
+  trips against the production fleet -- provider-pushes-chunks and
+  caller-pushes-chunks both confirmed working end to end, including the
+  terminal STREAM_REPLY reaching the other side in both directions.
+
+  `client_stream`/`bidi`'s round trip was `xfail` until 2026-09-05:
+  macula-station's own stream-route lifecycle
+  (`macula_station_peer_observer.erl`) used to drop the *entire*
+  bidirectional route on the first terminal frame it saw for a
+  stream_id rather than deciding per the session's actual mode, so a
+  `client_stream` caller's own half-close (`STREAM_END(role=send)`)
+  tore the route down before the provider's reply could be relayed
+  back. Found via this SDK's own live testing, fixed at the source
+  (mode-aware half-close semantics, `macula-io/macula-station`
+  commit 07db0d8, verified against real production traffic patterns
+  before shipping since a naive fix would have broken working
+  `server_stream` providers on the fleet), and confirmed live here.
+
+**Not yet built**: direct-dial, periodic re-advertise, UCAN, cert-chain
+verification, and the supervised pubsub wrapper are explicitly OUT of
+scope for this first pass, matching the order every other Macula SDK
+was built and reviewed in. RPC telemetry facts are likewise deferred.

+## Development
+
+```sh
+python3 -m venv .venv
+.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[dev]"
+.venv/bin/pytest              # offline tests only
+.venv/bin/pytest -m live      # + live-fleet tests (dials the real production fleet)
+```
+
+This repo pins Python 3.13 via `.tool-versions` -- `aioquic`'s C
+extension dependencies do not currently build against free-threaded
+Python 3.14 builds (confirmed: `pylsqpack`'s limited-API usage hits
+missing internal refcounting symbols under `3.14t`). 3.13 and non-free-
+threaded 3.14 both build cleanly; 3.13 is pinned for reproducibility.
