+# Changelog
+
+## 2026-04-30 - 3.4.2 - fix(streams)
+tighten stream typings and guard optional runtime paths for duplex and wrapper utilities
+
+- allow SmartDuplex write and final handlers to return empty values in addition to transformed output
+- prevent StreamWrapper from piping or starting when no executable stream chain is produced
+- guard optional WebDuplexStream readFunction execution before invoking it
+- update tests and TypeScript configuration to satisfy stricter noImplicitAny checks and newer tstest tooling
+
+## 2026-03-02 - 3.4.1 - fix(readme)
+improve README: clarify entry points, add Web & Node stream examples, finalization and backpressure tips, and comprehensive API reference
+
+- Clarified package entry points and import paths so consumers can choose Node or Web builds.
+- Expanded examples: SmartDuplex finalFunction pushing multiple chunks, converting SmartDuplex to Web streams (reader/writer example), WebDuplexStream finalFunction, and a Node↔Web round-trip conversion example.
+- Added guidance and examples for concurrency and backpressure (TransformStream read/write concurrency tip, reading concurrently with writes, and backpressure notes for Node↔Web converters).
+- Documented StreamWrapper.streamStarted() and onCustomEvent() usage with examples showing awaiting stream startup.
+- Added a new API reference section documenting SmartDuplex, WebDuplexStream, StreamWrapper, StreamIntake, nodewebhelpers, and utility functions.
+- Various README wording, formatting, and example clarifications (tips, headings, and minor cosmetic fixes).
+
+## 2026-03-02 - 3.4.0 - feat(smartduplex)
+improve backpressure handling and web/node stream interoperability
+
+- Refactored SmartDuplex to use synchronous _read/_write/_final (avoids async pitfalls), added internal backpressured buffer draining and consumer signaling
+- Implemented pull-based backpressure for Node <-> Web stream conversions (nodewebhelpers and convertNodeReadableToWebReadable/convertWebReadableToNodeReadable)
+- StreamIntake.fromStream now reads from 'readable' and drains properly; StreamWrapper resolves safely on end/close/finish
+- Improved getWebStreams / WebDuplexStream behavior (safer enqueue/close/abort handling, final/readFunction improvements)
+- Added many new unit tests covering backpressure, web/node helpers, StreamIntake, StreamWrapper, WebDuplexStream; bumped @push.rocks/lik and @types/node versions
+
+## 2026-02-28 - 3.3.0 - feat(smartstream)
+bump dependencies, update build/publish config, refactor tests, and overhaul documentation
+
+- Upgrade devDependencies (e.g. @git.zone/tsbuild -> ^4.1.2, @git.zone/tsrun -> ^2.0.1, @git.zone/tstest -> ^3.1.8, @types/node -> ^25.3.2) and runtime deps (e.g. @push.rocks/lik -> ^6.2.2, @push.rocks/smartenv -> ^6.0.0, @push.rocks/smartpromise -> ^4.2.3, @push.rocks/smartrx -> ^3.0.10).
+- Refactor tests to use Node's native fs streams instead of @push.rocks/smartfile.fsStream and export default tap.start() to support ESM test runner patterns.
+- Adjust build/publish: remove --web flag from build script, add pnpm override for agentkeepalive, add tspublish.json files for publish order, and add release registries/access in npmextra.json (verdaccio + npm).
+- Rework project metadata in npmextra.json (namespaced @git.zone keys, tsdoc entry changes) and minor TypeScript/web fix: cast stream/web constructors to any in ts_web/plugins.ts.
+- Large README rewrite: improved installation (pnpm), clearer Node vs Web entrypoints, expanded examples, and updated legal/license wording.
+

+## Issue Reporting and Security
+
+For reporting bugs, issues, or security vulnerabilities, please visit [community.foss.global/](https://community.foss.global/). This is the central community hub for all issue reporting. Developers who sign and comply with our contribution agreement and go through identification can also get a [code.foss.global/](https://code.foss.global/) account to submit Pull Requests directly.

 ## Install
-To install `@push.rocks/smartstream`, you can use npm or yarn as follows:

 ```bash
-npm install @push.rocks/smartstream --save
-# OR
-yarn add @push.rocks/smartstream
+pnpm install @push.rocks/smartstream
 ```

-This will add `@push.rocks/smartstream` to your project's dependencies.
+The package ships with **two entry points** so you can pick exactly what you need:
+
+| Entry Point | Import Path | Environment |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Node.js** (default) | `@push.rocks/smartstream` | Node.js — full stream utilities, duplex, intake, wrappers, and Node↔Web helpers |
+| **Web** | `@push.rocks/smartstream/web` | Browser & Node.js — pure Web Streams API (`WebDuplexStream`) |

 ## Usage

-The `@push.rocks/smartstream` module is designed to simplify working with Node.js streams by providing a set of utilities for creating and manipulating streams. This module makes extensive use of TypeScript for improved code quality, readability, and maintenance. ESM syntax is utilized throughout the examples.
+All examples use ESM / TypeScript syntax.

-### Importing the Module
-
-Start by importing the module into your TypeScript file:
+### 📦 Importing

 ```typescript
-import * as smartstream from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+// Node.js — full API
+import {
+  SmartDuplex,
+  StreamWrapper,
+  StreamIntake,
+  createTransformFunction,
+  createPassThrough,
+  nodewebhelpers,
+} from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+
+// Web — browser-safe, zero Node.js dependencies
+import { WebDuplexStream } from '@push.rocks/smartstream/web';
 ```

-For a more specific import, you may do the following:
+---
+
+### 🔄 SmartDuplex — The Core Stream Primitive
+
+`SmartDuplex` extends Node.js `Duplex` with first-class async support, built-in backpressure management, and a clean functional API. Instead of overriding `_transform` or `_write` manually, you pass a `writeFunction` that receives each chunk along with a `tools` object.
+
+#### Basic Transform

 ```typescript
-import { SmartDuplex, StreamWrapper, StreamIntake, createTransformFunction, createPassThrough } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+import { SmartDuplex } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+
+const upperCaser = new SmartDuplex<Buffer, Buffer>({
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, tools) => {
+    // Return a value to push it downstream
+    return Buffer.from(chunk.toString().toUpperCase());
+  },
+});
+
+readableStream.pipe(upperCaser).pipe(writableStream);
 ```

-### Creating Basic Transform Streams
+#### Using `tools.push()` for Multiple Outputs

-The module provides utilities for creating transform streams. For example, to create a transform stream that modifies chunks of data, you can use the `createTransformFunction` utility:
+The `writeFunction` can emit multiple chunks per input via `tools.push()`:
+
+```typescript
+const splitter = new SmartDuplex<string, string>({
+  objectMode: true,
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, tools) => {
+    const words = chunk.split(' ');
+    for (const word of words) {
+      await tools.push(word);
+    }
+    // Returning nothing — output was already pushed
+  },
+});
+```
+
+#### Final Function
+
+Run cleanup or emit final data when the writable side ends:
+
+```typescript
+let runningTotal = 0;
+
+const aggregator = new SmartDuplex<number, number>({
+  objectMode: true,
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, tools) => {
+    runningTotal += chunk;
+    // Don't emit anything per-chunk
+  },
+  finalFunction: async (tools) => {
+    return runningTotal; // Emitted as the last chunk
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The `finalFunction` can also push multiple chunks via `tools.push()`, just like `writeFunction`.
+
+#### Truncating a Stream Early
+
+Call `tools.truncate()` inside `writeFunction` to signal that no more data should be read:
+
+```typescript
+const limiter = new SmartDuplex<string, string>({
+  objectMode: true,
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, tools) => {
+    if (chunk === 'STOP') {
+      tools.truncate();
+      return;
+    }
+    return chunk;
+  },
+});
+```
+
+#### Creating from a Buffer
+
+```typescript
+const stream = SmartDuplex.fromBuffer(Buffer.from('hello world'));
+stream.on('data', (chunk) => console.log(chunk.toString())); // "hello world"
+```
+
+#### Creating from a Web ReadableStream
+
+Bridge the Web Streams API into a Node.js Duplex:
+
+```typescript
+const response = await fetch('https://example.com/data');
+const nodeDuplex = SmartDuplex.fromWebReadableStream(response.body);
+
+nodeDuplex.pipe(processTransform).pipe(outputStream);
+```
+
+#### Getting Web Streams from SmartDuplex
+
+Convert a `SmartDuplex` into a Web `ReadableStream` + `WritableStream` pair:
+
+```typescript
+const duplex = new SmartDuplex({
+  objectMode: true,
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, tools) => {
+    return transform(chunk);
+  },
+});
+
+const { readable, writable } = await duplex.getWebStreams();
+
+const writer = writable.getWriter();
+const reader = readable.getReader();
+
+// Read and write concurrently to avoid TransformStream backpressure
+const readAll = async () => {
+  const results = [];
+  while (true) {
+    const { value, done } = await reader.read();
+    if (done) break;
+    results.push(value);
+  }
+  return results;
+};
+
+const readPromise = readAll();
+await writer.write('hello');
+await writer.close();
+const results = await readPromise;
+```
+
+#### Debug Mode
+
+Pass `debug: true` and `name` to get detailed internal logs:
+
+```typescript
+const stream = new SmartDuplex({
+  name: 'MyStream',
+  debug: true,
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, tools) => chunk,
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### 🧩 StreamWrapper — Pipeline Composition
+
+`StreamWrapper` takes an array of streams, pipes them together, attaches error listeners on all of them, and returns a `Promise` that resolves when the pipeline finishes:
+
+```typescript
+import { StreamWrapper } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+import fs from 'fs';
+
+const pipeline = new StreamWrapper([
+  fs.createReadStream('./input.txt'),
+  new SmartDuplex({
+    writeFunction: async (chunk) => Buffer.from(chunk.toString().toUpperCase()),
+  }),
+  fs.createWriteStream('./output.txt'),
+]);
+
+await pipeline.run();
+console.log('Pipeline complete!');
+```
+
+Error handling is automatic — if any stream in the array errors, the returned promise rejects:
+
+```typescript
+pipeline.run()
+  .then(() => console.log('Done'))
+  .catch((err) => console.error('Pipeline failed:', err));
+```
+
+You can listen for custom events across all streams in the pipeline:
+
+```typescript
+pipeline.onCustomEvent('progress', () => {
+  console.log('Progress event fired');
+});
+```
+
+You can also await `streamStarted()` to know when the pipeline has been wired up:
+
+```typescript
+const runPromise = pipeline.run();
+await pipeline.streamStarted(); // Resolves once pipes are connected
+await runPromise;
+```
+
+---
+
+### 📥 StreamIntake — Dynamic Data Injection
+
+`StreamIntake` is a `Readable` stream that lets you programmatically push data into a pipeline. It operates in object mode by default and provides a reactive observable (`pushNextObservable`) for demand-driven data production.
+
+```typescript
+import { StreamIntake, SmartDuplex } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+
+const intake = new StreamIntake<string>();
+
+// Pipe through a transform
+intake
+  .pipe(new SmartDuplex({
+    objectMode: true,
+    writeFunction: async (chunk) => {
+      console.log('Processing:', chunk);
+      return chunk;
+    },
+  }))
+  .on('data', (data) => console.log('Output:', data));
+
+// Push data whenever it's ready
+intake.pushData('Hello');
+intake.pushData('World');
+intake.signalEnd(); // Signal end-of-stream
+```
+
+#### Demand-Driven Production with Observable
+
+`pushNextObservable` emits whenever the stream is ready for more data — perfect for throttled or event-driven producers:
+
+```typescript
+const intake = new StreamIntake<number>();
+
+let counter = 0;
+intake.pushNextObservable.subscribe(() => {
+  if (counter < 100) {
+    intake.pushData(counter++);
+  } else {
+    intake.signalEnd();
+  }
+});
+
+intake.pipe(consumer);
+```
+
+#### Creating from Existing Streams
+
+Wrap a Node.js `Readable` or a Web `ReadableStream`:
+
+```typescript
+// From Node.js Readable
+const intake = await StreamIntake.fromStream<Buffer>(fs.createReadStream('./data.bin'));
+
+// From Web ReadableStream
+const response = await fetch('https://example.com/stream');
+const intake = await StreamIntake.fromStream<Uint8Array>(response.body);
+```
+
+---
+
+### ⚡ Utility Functions
+
+#### `createTransformFunction`
+
+Quickly create a `SmartDuplex` from a simple async mapping function:

 ```typescript
 import { createTransformFunction } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';

-const upperCaseTransform = createTransformFunction<string, string>(async (chunk) => {
-  return chunk.toUpperCase();
-});
+const doubler = createTransformFunction<number, number>(
+  async (n) => n * 2,
+  { objectMode: true }
+);

-// Usage with pipe
-readableStream
-  .pipe(upperCaseTransform)
-  .pipe(writableStream);
+intakeStream.pipe(doubler).pipe(outputStream);
 ```

-### Handling Backpressure with SmartDuplex
+#### `createPassThrough`

-`SmartDuplex` is a powerful part of the `smartstream` module designed to handle backpressure effectively. Here's an example of how to create a `SmartDuplex` stream that processes data and respects the consumer's pace:
+Create an object-mode passthrough stream (useful as an intermediary or tee point):

 ```typescript
-import { SmartDuplex } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+import { createPassThrough } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';

-const processDataDuplex = new SmartDuplex({
-  async writeFunction(chunk, { push }) {
-    const processedChunk = await processChunk(chunk); // Assume this is a defined asynchronous function
-    push(processedChunk);
-  }
-});
-
-sourceStream.pipe(processDataDuplex).pipe(destinationStream);
+const passThrough = createPassThrough();
+source.pipe(passThrough).pipe(destination);
 ```

-### Combining Multiple Streams
+---

-`Smartstream` facilitates easy combining of multiple streams into a single pipeline, handling errors and cleanup automatically. Here's how you can combine multiple streams:
+### 🌐 WebDuplexStream — Pure Web Streams API
+
+`WebDuplexStream` extends `TransformStream` and works in both browsers and Node.js. Import it from the `/web` subpath for zero Node.js dependencies.

 ```typescript
-import { StreamWrapper } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+import { WebDuplexStream } from '@push.rocks/smartstream/web';

-const combinedStream = new StreamWrapper([
-  readStream,       // Source stream
-  transformStream1, // Transformation
-  transformStream2, // Another transformation
-  writeStream       // Destination stream
-]);
-
-combinedStream.run()
-  .then(() => console.log('Processing completed.'))
-  .catch(err => console.error('An error occurred:', err));
-```
-
-### Working with StreamIntake
-
-`StreamIntake` allows for more dynamic control of the reading process, facilitating scenarios where data is not continuously available:
-
-```typescript
-import { StreamIntake } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
-
-const streamIntake = new StreamIntake<string>();
-
-// Dynamically push data into the intake
-streamIntake.pushData('Hello, World!');
-streamIntake.pushData('Another message');
-
-// Signal end when no more data is to be pushed
-streamIntake.signalEnd();
-```
-
-### Real-world Scenario: Processing Large Files
-
-Consider a scenario where you need to process a large CSV file, transform the data row-by-row, and then write the results to a database or another file. With `smartstream`, you could create a pipe that reads the CSV, processes each row, and handles backpressure, ensuring efficient use of resources.
-
-```typescript
-import { SmartDuplex, createTransformFunction } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
-import fs from 'fs';
-import csvParser from 'csv-parser';
-
-const csvReadTransform = createTransformFunction<any, any>(async (row) => {
-  // Process row
-  return processedRow;
-});
-
-fs.createReadStream('path/to/largeFile.csv')
-  .pipe(csvParser())
-  .pipe(csvReadTransform)
-  .pipe(new SmartDuplex({
-    async writeFunction(chunk, { push }) {
-      await writeToDatabase(chunk); // Assume this writes to a database
-    }
-  }))
-  .on('finish', () => console.log('File processed successfully.'));
-```
-
-This example demonstrates reading a large CSV file, transforming each row with `createTransformFunction`, and using a `SmartDuplex` to manage the processed data flow efficiently, ensuring no data is lost due to backpressure issues.
-
-### Advanced Use Case: Backpressure Handling
-
-Effective backpressure handling is crucial when working with streams to avoid overwhelming the downstream consumers. Here’s a comprehensive example that demonstrates handling backpressure in a pipeline with multiple `SmartDuplex` instances:
-
-```typescript
-import { SmartDuplex } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
-
-// Define the first SmartDuplex, which writes data slowly to simulate backpressure
-const slowProcessingStream = new SmartDuplex({
-  name: 'SlowProcessor',
-  objectMode: true,
+const stream = new WebDuplexStream<number, number>({
  writeFunction: async (chunk, { push }) => {
-    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100)); // Simulated delay
-    console.log('Processed chunk:', chunk);
-    push(chunk);
-  }
+    push(chunk * 2); // Push transformed data
+  },
 });

-// Define the second SmartDuplex as a fast processor
-const fastProcessingStream = new SmartDuplex({
-  name: 'FastProcessor',
-  objectMode: true,
-  writeFunction: async (chunk, { push }) => {
-    console.log('Fast processing chunk:', chunk);
-    push(chunk);
+const writer = stream.writable.getWriter();
+const reader = stream.readable.getReader();
+
+// Always read concurrently with writes — TransformStream applies backpressure
+const readPromise = (async () => {
+  const results = [];
+  while (true) {
+    const { value, done } = await reader.read();
+    if (done) break;
+    results.push(value);
  }
-});
-
-// Create a StreamIntake to dynamically handle incoming data
-const streamIntake = new StreamIntake<string>();
-
-// Chain the streams together and handle the backpressure scenario
-streamIntake
-  .pipe(fastProcessingStream)
-  .pipe(slowProcessingStream)
-  .pipe(createPassThrough()) // Use Pass-Through to provide intermediary handling
-  .on('data', data => console.log('Final output:', data))
-  .on('error', error => console.error('Stream encountered an error:', error));
-
-// Simulate data pushing with intervals to observe backpressure handling
-let counter = 0;
-const interval = setInterval(() => {
-  if (counter >= 10) {
-    streamIntake.signalEnd();
-    clearInterval(interval);
-  } else {
-    streamIntake.pushData(`Chunk ${counter}`);
-    counter++;
-  }
-}, 50);
-```
-
-In this advanced use case, a `SlowProcessor` and `FastProcessor` are created using `SmartDuplex`, simulating a situation where one stream is slower than another. The `StreamIntake` dynamically handles incoming chunks of data and the intermediary Pass-Through handles any potential interruptions.
-
-### Transform Streams in Parallel
-
-For scenarios where you need to process data in parallel:
-
-```typescript
-import { SmartDuplex, createTransformFunction } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
-
-const parallelTransform = createTransformFunction<any, any>(async (chunk) => {
-  // Parallel Processing
-  const results = await Promise.all(chunk.map(async item => await processItem(item)));
  return results;
-});
+})();

-const streamIntake = new StreamIntake<any[]>();
+await writer.write(5);
+await writer.write(10);
+await writer.close();

-streamIntake
-  .pipe(parallelTransform)
-  .pipe(new SmartDuplex({
-    async writeFunction(chunk, { push }) {
-      console.log('Processed parallel chunk:', chunk);
-      push(chunk);
-    }
-  }))
-  .on('finish', () => console.log('Parallel processing completed.'));
-
-// Simulate data pushing
-streamIntake.pushData([1, 2, 3, 4]);
-streamIntake.pushData([5, 6, 7, 8]);
-streamIntake.signalEnd();
+const results = await readPromise; // [10, 20]
 ```

-### Error Handling in Stream Pipelines
+> 💡 **Tip:** Because `TransformStream` enforces backpressure between its writable and readable sides, you must start reading *before* or *concurrently with* writes. If you await all writes first and then read, the writes will block waiting for the readable side to drain.

-Error handling is an essential part of working with streams. The `StreamWrapper` assists in combining multiple streams while managing errors seamlessly:
+#### From a Uint8Array

 ```typescript
-import { StreamWrapper } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
-
-const faultyStream = new SmartDuplex({
-  async writeFunction(chunk, { push }) {
-    if (chunk === 'bad data') {
-      throw new Error('Faulty data encountered');
-    }
-    push(chunk);
-  }
-});
-
-const readStream = new StreamIntake<string>();
-const writeStream = new SmartDuplex({
-  async writeFunction(chunk) {
-    console.log('Written chunk:', chunk);
-  }
-});
-
-const combinedStream = new StreamWrapper([readStream, faultyStream, writeStream]);
-
-combinedStream.run()
-  .then(() => console.log('Stream processing completed.'))
-  .catch(err => console.error('Stream error:', err.message));
-
-// Push Data
-readStream.pushData('good data');
-readStream.pushData('bad data');  // This will throw an error
-readStream.pushData('more good data');
-readStream.signalEnd();
+const stream = WebDuplexStream.fromUInt8Array(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]));
+const reader = stream.readable.getReader();
+const { value } = await reader.read(); // Uint8Array [1, 2, 3]
 ```

-### Testing Streams
+#### Data Production with `readFunction`

-Here's an example test case using the `tap` testing framework to verify the integrity of the `SmartDuplex` from a buffer:
+Supply data into the stream from any async source:

 ```typescript
-import { expect, tap } from '@push.rocks/tapbundle';
-import { SmartDuplex } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
-
-tap.test('should create a SmartStream from a Buffer', async () => {
-  const bufferData = Buffer.from('This is a test buffer');
-  const smartStream = SmartDuplex.fromBuffer(bufferData, {});
-  
-  let receivedData = Buffer.alloc(0);
-  
-  return new Promise<void>((resolve) => {
-    smartStream.on('data', (chunk: Buffer) => {
-      receivedData = Buffer.concat([receivedData, chunk]);
+const stream = new WebDuplexStream<string, string>({
+  readFunction: async (tools) => {
+    await tools.write('chunk 1');
+    await tools.write('chunk 2');
+    tools.done(); // Signal end
+  },
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, { push }) => {
+    push(chunk.toUpperCase());
+  },
 });

-    smartStream.on('end', () => {
-      expect(receivedData.toString()).toEqual(bufferData.toString());
-      resolve();
-    });
-  });
-});
-
-tap.start();
+const reader = stream.readable.getReader();
+// reads "CHUNK 1", "CHUNK 2"
 ```

-### Working with Files and Buffers
+#### Final Function

-You can easily stream files and buffers with `smartstream`. Here’s a test illustrating reading and writing with file streams using `smartfile` combined with `smartstream` utilities:
+Emit trailing data when the writable side is closed:

 ```typescript
-import { tap } from '@push.rocks/tapbundle';
-import * as smartfile from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
+const stream = new WebDuplexStream<string, string>({
+  writeFunction: async (chunk) => chunk,
+  finalFunction: async (tools) => {
+    tools.push('footer');
+  },
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### 🔀 Node ↔ Web Stream Converters
+
+The `nodewebhelpers` namespace provides bidirectional converters between Node.js and Web Streams with proper backpressure handling:
+
+```typescript
+import { nodewebhelpers } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+```
+
+| Function | From | To |
+|---|---|---|
+| `createWebReadableStreamFromFile(path)` | File path | Web `ReadableStream<Uint8Array>` |
+| `convertWebReadableToNodeReadable(webStream)` | Web `ReadableStream` | Node.js `Readable` |
+| `convertNodeReadableToWebReadable(nodeStream)` | Node.js `Readable` | Web `ReadableStream` |
+| `convertWebWritableToNodeWritable(webWritable)` | Web `WritableStream` | Node.js `Writable` |
+| `convertNodeWritableToWebWritable(nodeWritable)` | Node.js `Writable` | Web `WritableStream` |
+
+#### Example: Serve a File as a Web ReadableStream
+
+```typescript
+const webStream = nodewebhelpers.createWebReadableStreamFromFile('./video.mp4');
+
+// Use with fetch Response, service workers, etc.
+return new Response(webStream, {
+  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'video/mp4' },
+});
+```
+
+#### Example: Convert Between Stream Types
+
+```typescript
+import fs from 'fs';
+import { nodewebhelpers } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';
+
+// Node → Web
+const nodeReadable = fs.createReadStream('./data.bin');
+const webReadable = nodewebhelpers.convertNodeReadableToWebReadable(nodeReadable);
+
+// Web → Node
+const nodeReadable2 = nodewebhelpers.convertWebReadableToNodeReadable(webReadable);
+nodeReadable2.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('./copy.bin'));
+```
+
+#### Example: Round-Trip Conversion
+
+```typescript
+// Node → Web → Node (lossless round-trip)
+const original = fs.createReadStream('./photo.jpg');
+const webStream = nodewebhelpers.convertNodeReadableToWebReadable(original);
+const backToNode = nodewebhelpers.convertWebReadableToNodeReadable(webStream);
+backToNode.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('./photo-copy.jpg'));
+```
+
+---
+
+### 🏗️ Backpressure Handling
+
+`SmartDuplex` uses a `BackpressuredArray` internally, bounded by `highWaterMark` (default: 1). When the downstream consumer is slow, the stream automatically pauses the upstream producer until space is available — no manual bookkeeping required.
+
+```typescript
+const slow = new SmartDuplex({
+  name: 'SlowConsumer',
+  objectMode: true,
+  highWaterMark: 1,
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, tools) => {
+    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 200));
+    return chunk;
+  },
+});
+
+const fast = new SmartDuplex({
+  name: 'FastProducer',
+  objectMode: true,
+  writeFunction: async (chunk, tools) => {
+    return chunk; // Instant processing
+  },
+});
+
+// Backpressure is handled automatically between fast → slow
+fast.pipe(slow).on('data', (d) => console.log(d));
+
+for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+  fast.write(`chunk-${i}`);
+}
+fast.end();
+```
+
+---
+
+### 🎯 Real-World Example: Log Processing Pipeline
+
+```typescript
+import fs from 'fs';
 import { SmartDuplex, StreamWrapper } from '@push.rocks/smartstream';

-tap.test('should handle file read and write streams', async () => {
-  const readStream = smartfile.fsStream.createReadStream('./test/assets/readabletext.txt');
-  const writeStream = smartfile.fsStream.createWriteStream('./test/assets/writabletext.txt');
-
-  const transformStream = new SmartDuplex({
-    async writeFunction(chunk, { push }) {
-      const transformedChunk = chunk.toString().toUpperCase();
-      push(transformedChunk);
+// Read → Parse → Filter → Write
+const pipeline = new StreamWrapper([
+  fs.createReadStream('./access.log'),
+  new SmartDuplex({
+    writeFunction: async (chunk) => {
+      return chunk.toString().split('\n');
+    },
+  }),
+  new SmartDuplex({
+    objectMode: true,
+    writeFunction: async (lines: string[], tools) => {
+      for (const line of lines) {
+        if (line.includes('ERROR')) {
+          await tools.push(line + '\n');
        }
-  });
+      }
+    },
+  }),
+  fs.createWriteStream('./errors.log'),
+]);

-  const streamWrapper = new StreamWrapper([readStream, transformStream, writeStream]);
-
-  await streamWrapper.run();
-
-  const outputContent = await smartfile.fs.promises.readFile('./test/assets/writabletext.txt', 'utf-8');
-  console.log('Output Content:', outputContent);
-});
-
-tap.start();
+await pipeline.run();
+console.log('Error extraction complete');
 ```
