+
+## Overview 🔭
+
+`@push.rocks/smartrust` provides a complete bridge for TypeScript applications that need to communicate with Rust binaries. It handles the entire lifecycle — binary discovery, process spawning, request/response correlation, **streaming responses**, event pub/sub, and graceful shutdown — so you can focus on your command definitions instead of IPC plumbing.
+
+### Why? 🤔
+
+If you're integrating Rust into a Node.js project, you'll inevitably need:
+- A way to **find** the compiled Rust binary across different environments (dev, CI, production, platform packages)
+- A way to **spawn** it and establish reliable two-way communication
+- **Type-safe** request/response patterns with proper error handling
+- **Streaming responses** for progressive data processing, log tailing, or chunked transfers
+- **Event streaming** from Rust to TypeScript
+- **Graceful lifecycle management** (ready detection, clean shutdown, force kill)
+
+`smartrust` wraps all of this into three classes: `RustBridge`, `RustBinaryLocator`, and `StreamingResponse`.
+
+## Usage 🚀
+
+### The IPC Protocol
+
+`smartrust` uses a simple, newline-delimited JSON protocol over stdin/stdout:
+
+| Direction | Format | Description |
+|-----------|--------|-------------|
+| **TS → Rust** (Request) | `{"id": "req_1", "method": "start", "params": {...}}` | Command with unique ID |
+| **Rust → TS** (Response) | `{"id": "req_1", "success": true, "result": {...}}` | Final response correlated by ID |
+| **Rust → TS** (Error) | `{"id": "req_1", "success": false, "error": "msg"}` | Error correlated by ID |
+| **Rust → TS** (Stream Chunk) | `{"id": "req_1", "stream": true, "data": {...}}` | Intermediate chunk (zero or more) |
+| **Rust → TS** (Event) | `{"event": "ready", "data": {...}}` | Unsolicited event (no ID) |
+
+Your Rust binary reads JSON lines from stdin and writes JSON lines to stdout. That's it. Stderr is free for logging.
+
+### Defining Your Commands
+
+Start by defining a type map of commands your Rust binary supports:
+
+```typescript
+import { RustBridge } from '@push.rocks/smartrust';
+
+// Define your command types
+type TMyCommands = {
+  start:      { params: { port: number; host: string }; result: { pid: number } };
+  stop:       { params: {};                             result: void };
+  getMetrics: { params: {};                             result: { connections: number; uptime: number } };
+  reload:     { params: { configPath: string };         result: void };
+};
+```
+
+### Creating and Using the Bridge
+
+```typescript
+const bridge = new RustBridge<TMyCommands>({
+  binaryName: 'my-rust-server',
+  envVarName: 'MY_SERVER_BINARY',             // optional: env var override
+  platformPackagePrefix: '@myorg/my-server',  // optional: platform npm packages
+});
+
+// Spawn the binary and wait for it to signal readiness
+const ok = await bridge.spawn();
+if (!ok) {
+  console.error('Failed to start Rust binary');
+  process.exit(1);
+}
+
+// Send type-safe commands — params and return types are inferred!
+const { pid } = await bridge.sendCommand('start', { port: 8080, host: '0.0.0.0' });
+console.log(`Server started with PID ${pid}`);
+
+const metrics = await bridge.sendCommand('getMetrics', {});
+console.log(`Active connections: ${metrics.connections}`);
+
+// Listen for events from Rust
+bridge.on('management:configChanged', (data) => {
+  console.log('Config was changed:', data);
+});
+
+// Clean shutdown
+bridge.kill();
+```
+
+### Streaming Commands 🌊
+
+For commands where the Rust binary sends a series of chunks before a final result, use `sendCommandStreaming`. This is perfect for progressive data processing, log tailing, search results, or any scenario where you want incremental output.
+
+#### Defining Streaming Commands
+
+Add a `chunk` field to your command type definition to mark it as streamable:
+
+```typescript
+type TMyCommands = {
+  // Regular command (request → response)
+  ping:        { params: {}; result: { pong: boolean } };
+
+  // Streaming command (request → chunks... → final result)
+  processData: { params: { count: number }; chunk: { index: number; progress: number }; result: { totalProcessed: number } };
+  tailLogs:    { params: { lines: number }; chunk: string; result: { linesRead: number } };
+};
+```
+
+#### Consuming Streams
+
+```typescript
+// Returns a StreamingResponse immediately (does NOT block)
+const stream = bridge.sendCommandStreaming('processData', { count: 1000 });
+
+// Consume chunks with for-await-of
+for await (const chunk of stream) {
+  console.log(`Processing item ${chunk.index}, progress: ${chunk.progress}%`);
+}
+
+// Get the final result after all chunks are consumed
+const result = await stream.result;
+console.log(`Done! Processed ${result.totalProcessed} items`);
+```
+
+#### Error Handling in Streams
+
+Errors propagate to both the iterator and the `.result` promise:
+
+```typescript
+const stream = bridge.sendCommandStreaming('processData', { count: 100 });
+
+try {
+  for await (const chunk of stream) {
+    console.log(chunk);
+  }
+} catch (err) {
+  console.error('Stream failed:', err.message);
+}
+
+// .result also rejects on error
+try {
+  await stream.result;
+} catch (err) {
+  console.error('Same error here:', err.message);
+}
+```
+
+#### Stream Timeout
+
+By default, streaming commands use the same timeout as regular commands (`requestTimeoutMs`). The timeout **resets on each chunk received**, so it acts as an inactivity timeout rather than an absolute timeout. You can configure it separately:
+
+```typescript
+const bridge = new RustBridge<TMyCommands>({
+  binaryName: 'my-server',
+  requestTimeoutMs: 30000,   // regular command timeout: 30s
+  streamTimeoutMs: 60000,    // streaming inactivity timeout: 60s
+});
+```
+
+#### Implementing Streaming on the Rust Side
+
+Your Rust binary sends stream chunks by writing lines with `"stream": true` before the final response:
+
+```rust
+// For each chunk:
+println!(r#"{{"id":"{}","stream":true,"data":{{"index":{},"progress":{}}}}}"#, req.id, i, pct);
+io::stdout().flush().unwrap();
+
+// When done, send the final response (same as non-streaming):
+println!(r#"{{"id":"{}","success":true,"result":{{"totalProcessed":{}}}}}"#, req.id, total);
+io::stdout().flush().unwrap();
+```
+
+### Binary Locator 🔍
+
+The `RustBinaryLocator` searches for your binary using a priority-ordered strategy:
+
+| Priority | Source | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| 1 | `binaryPath` option | Explicit path — skips all other search |
+| 2 | Environment variable | e.g. `MY_SERVER_BINARY=/usr/local/bin/server` |
+| 3 | Platform npm package | e.g. `@myorg/my-server-linux-x64/my-rust-server` |
+| 4 | Local dev paths | `./rust/target/release/<name>` and `./rust/target/debug/<name>` |
+| 5 | System PATH | Standard `$PATH` lookup |
+
+You can also use the locator standalone:
+
+```typescript
+import { RustBinaryLocator } from '@push.rocks/smartrust';
+
+const locator = new RustBinaryLocator({
+  binaryName: 'my-rust-server',
+  envVarName: 'MY_SERVER_BINARY',
+  localPaths: ['/opt/myapp/bin/server'],  // custom search paths
+});
+
+const binaryPath = await locator.findBinary();
+// Result is cached — call clearCache() to force re-search
+```
+
+### Configuration Reference ⚙️
+
+The `RustBridge` constructor accepts an `IRustBridgeOptions` object:
+
+```typescript
+const bridge = new RustBridge<TMyCommands>({
+  // --- Binary Locator Options ---
+  binaryName: 'my-server',                    // required: name of the binary
+  binaryPath: '/explicit/path/to/binary',     // optional: skip search entirely
+  envVarName: 'MY_SERVER_BINARY',             // optional: env var for path override
+  platformPackagePrefix: '@myorg/my-server',  // optional: platform npm package prefix
+  localPaths: ['./build/server'],             // optional: custom local search paths
+  searchSystemPath: true,                     // optional: search $PATH (default: true)
+
+  // --- Bridge Options ---
+  cliArgs: ['--management'],                  // optional: args passed to binary (default: ['--management'])
+  requestTimeoutMs: 30000,                    // optional: per-request timeout (default: 30000)
+  streamTimeoutMs: 30000,                     // optional: streaming inactivity timeout (default: requestTimeoutMs)
+  readyTimeoutMs: 10000,                      // optional: ready event timeout (default: 10000)
+  maxPayloadSize: 50 * 1024 * 1024,           // optional: max message size in bytes (default: 50MB)
+  env: { RUST_LOG: 'debug' },                 // optional: extra env vars for the child process
+  readyEventName: 'ready',                    // optional: name of the ready event (default: 'ready')
+  logger: myLogger,                           // optional: logger implementing IRustBridgeLogger
+});
+```
+
+### Events 📡
+
+`RustBridge` extends `EventEmitter` and emits the following events:
+
+| Event | Payload | Description |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| `ready` | — | Bridge connected and binary reported ready |
+| `exit` | `(code, signal)` | Rust process exited |
+| `stderr` | `string` | A line from the binary's stderr |
+| `management:<name>` | `any` | Custom event from Rust (e.g. `management:configChanged`) |
+
+### Custom Logger 📝
+
+Plug in your own logger by implementing the `IRustBridgeLogger` interface:
+
+```typescript
+import type { IRustBridgeLogger } from '@push.rocks/smartrust';
+
+const logger: IRustBridgeLogger = {
+  log(level: string, message: string, data?: Record<string, any>) {
+    console.log(`[${level}] ${message}`, data || '');
+  },
+};
+
+const bridge = new RustBridge<TMyCommands>({
+  binaryName: 'my-server',
+  logger,
+});
+```
+
+### Writing the Rust Side 🦀
+
+Your Rust binary needs to implement a simple protocol:
+
+1. **On startup**, write a ready event to stdout:
+   ```
+   {"event":"ready","data":{"version":"1.0.0"}}\n
+   ```
+
+2. **Read JSON lines from stdin**, parse each as `{"id": "...", "method": "...", "params": {...}}`
+
+3. **Write JSON responses to stdout**, each as `{"id": "...", "success": true, "result": {...}}\n`
+
+4. **For streaming commands**, write zero or more `{"id": "...", "stream": true, "data": {...}}\n` chunks before the final response
+
+5. **Emit events** anytime by writing `{"event": "name", "data": {...}}\n` to stdout
+
+6. **Use stderr** for logging — it won't interfere with the IPC protocol
+
+Here's a minimal Rust skeleton:
+
+```rust
+use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
+use std::io::{self, BufRead, Write};
+
+#[derive(Deserialize)]
+struct Request {
+    id: String,
+    method: String,
+    params: serde_json::Value,
+}
+
+#[derive(Serialize)]
+struct Response {
+    id: String,
+    success: bool,
+    #[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
+    result: Option<serde_json::Value>,
+    #[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
+    error: Option<String>,
+}
+
+#[derive(Serialize)]
+struct StreamChunk {
+    id: String,
+    stream: bool,
+    data: serde_json::Value,
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    // Signal ready
+    println!(r#"{{"event":"ready","data":{{"version":"1.0.0"}}}}"#);
+    io::stdout().flush().unwrap();
+
+    let stdin = io::stdin();
+    for line in stdin.lock().lines() {
+        let line = line.unwrap();
+        let req: Request = serde_json::from_str(&line).unwrap();
+
+        match req.method.as_str() {
+            "ping" => {
+                let resp = Response {
+                    id: req.id,
+                    success: true,
+                    result: Some(serde_json::json!({"pong": true})),
+                    error: None,
+                };
+                println!("{}", serde_json::to_string(&resp).unwrap());
+                io::stdout().flush().unwrap();
+            }
+            "processData" => {
+                let count = req.params["count"].as_u64().unwrap_or(0);
+                // Send stream chunks
+                for i in 0..count {
+                    let chunk = StreamChunk {
+                        id: req.id.clone(),
+                        stream: true,
+                        data: serde_json::json!({"index": i, "progress": ((i+1) * 100 / count)}),
+                    };
+                    println!("{}", serde_json::to_string(&chunk).unwrap());
+                    io::stdout().flush().unwrap();
+                }
+                // Send final response
+                let resp = Response {
+                    id: req.id,
+                    success: true,
