+# hyper-p2p-causal-consensus
+
+HyperP2PCausalConsensus Novel BFT causal consensus primitive for Bare/Pear P2P. Key Innovations (never-before-seen in Bare ecosystem): - Hybrid causal + total ordering: Uses vector clocks for causality + cryptographic
+
+**Category:** Consensus & coordination
+
+**Composes with:** `hyper-p2p-distributed-lock`, `hyper-p2p-quorum-pool`
+
+**Protocol:** `hyper-p2p-causal-consensus/v1`
+
+## When to use
+
+Multi-peer apps that need consensus & coordination over a shared Hyperswarm topic.
+
+## When not to use
+
+Single-process tools with no P2P topic (use local APIs only or skip `ready()`).
+
+## Quick start
+
+```js
+const { HyperP2PCausalConsensus } = require('hyper-p2p-causal-consensus')
+const topic = process.argv[2] // 64-char hex or string
+const mod = new HyperP2PCausalConsensus({ topic, enableBackgroundTimers: false })
+await mod.ready()   // joins swarm when topic set
+// ... application logic ...
+await mod.close()
+```
+
+## Docs

+- [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) — wire types, state, composition
+- [../_shared/PRODUCTION.md](../../_shared/PRODUCTION.md) — production checklist

+# API: hyper-p2p-causal-consensus
+
+**Protocol:** `hyper-p2p-causal-consensus/v1`
+
+**Export:** `HyperP2PCausalConsensus`
+
+## Overview
+
+HyperP2PCausalConsensus Novel BFT causal consensus primitive for Bare/Pear P2P. Key Innovations (never-before-seen in Bare ecosystem): - Hybrid causal + total ordering: Uses vector clocks for causality + cryptographic
+
+## Constructor
+
+```js
+const mod = new HyperP2PCausalConsensus(opts)
+```
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `topic` | `string` | `Buffer` | `null` | Hyperswarm topic; required for P2P `ready()` |

+
+### `receiveProposal(proposal, fromPeerId)`
+
+- **Returns:** `Promise`

+
+## Events
+
+| Event | Payload |
+|-------|---------|
+| `closed` | no payload |
+| `consensus` | decidedEvent |
+| `error` | err |
+| `fork-detected` | proposals |
+| `gossip` | type |
+| `hyperswarm-gossip` | topic |
+| `invalid-signature` | proposalId, from |
+| `order-decided` | event |
+| `proposal` | proposal |
+| `proposal-expired` | payload object |
+| `proposal-received` | proposalId, from |
+| `protomux-send` | payload |
+| `vote` | payload object |
+
+## getStats()
+
+Returns `{ ...this._stats }` — typically `ops`, `errors`, and module-specific counters (`created`, `relays`, `open`, `peers`, etc.).
+Library-only modules may include `mode: 'local'`.
+
+## Errors
+
+Stable message substrings: see [`../_shared/ERROR_CODES.md`](../../_shared/ERROR_CODES.md).
+
+## P2P
+
+When `topic` is set, `ready()` joins Hyperswarm and opens Protomux `hyper-p2p-causal-consensus/v1`.
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+npm install && npm test
+```
+
+Integration: [`../../real_tests/integration/causal-consensus-two-node.js`](../../../real_tests/integration/causal-consensus-two-node.js)

Provides decentralized total ordering of events with vector-clock causality tracking, cryptographic Ed25519 signing for proposals and votes, quorum-based agreement (2f+1 for f faults), fork detection, view-change recovery, Hyperbee persistence for decided orders, Hyperswarm topic discovery, and Protomux streaming for consensus messages. Enables building reliable decentralized ledgers, ordered event logs, multi-writer CRDTs with BFT guarantees, and fault-tolerant P2P microservices. First reusable dedicated BFT causal consensus module in the Holepunch/Bare ecosystem — never-before-seen primitive combining causality, threshold quorums, and tamper-proof ordering.",
