TypedSocket Hints

SmartServe Integration (Added v3.1.0)

TypedSocket now supports SmartServe as an alternative WebSocket backend via TypedSocket.fromSmartServe().

Key Differences from Smartsocket Mode

1. Tag System: SmartServe uses Set<string> for tags, while Smartsocket uses {id, payload}. The wrapper stores payloads in peer.data with __typedsocket_tag__ prefix.

2. Request/Response: Uses TypedRouter's fireEventInterestMap for async correlation when sending server-initiated requests.

3. Lifecycle: SmartServe manages WebSocket lifecycle. typedSocket.stop() only clears internal state.

4. eventSubject: Not fully supported in SmartServe mode - use SmartServe's onConnectionOpen/onConnectionClose hooks instead.
