+# blind-peer - Anonymous Seeding Network
+
+## Overview
+
+**blind-peer** provides anonymous, decentralized seeding for Hypercores and Autobases. It allows peers to keep data available without revealing which specific cores they're hosting, enhancing privacy and censorship resistance in the Holepunch ecosystem.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    subgraph "Client"
+        PEERING[BlindPeering]
+        CORES[Core Registry]
+        WAKEUP[Wakeup Protocol]
+    end
+    
+    subgraph "Blind Peer Network"
+        PEERS[Blind Peer Nodes]
+        RELAYS[Relays]
+        MASKED[Masked Storage]
+    end
+    
+    subgraph "Discovery"
+        DHT[HyperDHT]
+        SWARM[Hyperswarm]
+        TOPIC[Hashed Topics]
+    end
+    
+    PEERING --> CORES
+    PEERING --> WAKEUP
+    CORES --> DHT
+    WAKEUP --> SWARM
+    
+    PEERS --> MASKED
+    PEERS --> RELAYS
+    
+    DHT --> PEERS
+    SWARM --> PEERS
+    
+    MASKED --> TOPIC
+```
+
+## Core Concept
+
+Blind peers provide "blind seeding":
+
+1. **Anonymity**: Peers don't know which cores they're hosting
+2. **Privacy**: Discovery uses hashed topics, not public keys
+3. **Availability**: Automatic replication and seeding
+4. **Decentralized**: Anyone can run a blind peer
+
+```js
+// Client adds core to blind peer network
+blind.addCore(core, wakeupCapability)
+
+// Blind peer anonymously seeds the core
+// Without knowing which core it is
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Discovery Process
+
+1. **Hash the discovery key**: Creates anonymous topic
+2. **Join DHT topic**: Find blind peers
+3. **Establish encrypted connection**: Using Noise protocol
+4. **Transfer encrypted data**: Peer stores encrypted blocks
+
+### Wakeup Protocol
+
+```js
+// When core updates
+wakeup.wakeup(core.discoveryKey)
+
+// Blind peers are notified
+// They fetch new data anonymously
+```
+
+## Complete Examples
+
+### Example 1: Using Blind Peering
+
+```js
+const BlindPeering = require('blind-peering')
+const Hyperswarm = require('hyperswarm')
+const Corestore = require('corestore')
+const Wakeup = require('protomux-wakeup')
+const Autobase = require('autobase')
+
+async function setupBlindPeering() {
+  const store = new Corestore('./storage')
+  const swarm = new Hyperswarm()
+  const wakeup = new Wakeup()
+  
+  // Use public blind peer
+  const DEFAULT_BLIND_PEER_KEYS = [
+    'es4n7ty45odd1udfqyi9xz58mrbheuhdnxgdufsn9gz6e5uhsqco'
+  ]
+  
+  const blind = new BlindPeering(swarm, store, {
+    wakeup,
+    mirrors: DEFAULT_BLIND_PEER_KEYS
+  })
+  
+  // Create or load autobase
+  const base = new Autobase(store, null, {
+    open: (store) => store.get('view'),
+    apply: async (nodes, view) => {
+      for (const { value } of nodes) {
+        await view.append(value)
+      }
+    }
+  })
+  
+  await base.ready()
+  
+  // Add to blind peer network
+  blind.addAutobaseBackground(base)
+  
+  console.log('Autobase added to blind peer network')
+  console.log('Key:', base.key.toString('hex'))
+  
+  // Now blind peers will keep this autobase available
+  // even when you're offline
+}
+
+setupBlindPeering().catch(console.error)
+```
+
+### Example 2: Running a Blind Peer Server
+
+```js
+const BlindPeer = require('blind-peer')
+
+// Note: Usually you use blind-peer-cli for servers
+// This shows programmatic usage
+
+async function runBlindPeer() {
+  const peer = new BlindPeer({
+    storage: './blind-peer-storage',
+    port: 0, // Random port
+    bootstrap: ['node1.hyperdht.org:49737']
+  })
+  
+  await peer.ready()
+  
+  console.log('Blind peer running')
+  console.log('Public key:', peer.publicKey.toString('hex'))
+  
+  // Peer will now accept encrypted connections
+  // and anonymously store data for clients
+  
+  // Statistics
+  setInterval(() => {
+    console.log('Stats:', {
+      connections: peer.connections.length,
+      stored: peer.bytesStored,
+      served: peer.bytesServed
+    })
+  }, 30000)

+```
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install -g blind-peer-cli
+```
+
+### Run a Blind Peer
+
+```bash
+# Start blind peer server
+blind-peer
+
+# With options
+blind-peer --port 5000 --storage ./peer-storage
+```
+
+### Client Usage
+
+```bash
+# Add core to blind peer network
+blind-peering add <core-key>
+
+# List blind peers
+blind-peering list
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Privacy Properties
+
+1. **Content Privacy**: Peers store encrypted data
+2. **Metadata Privacy**: Hashed discovery keys
+3. **Access Patterns**: Not visible to peers
+4. **No Correlation**: Different cores look identical
+
+### Limitations
+
+- Blind peers know IP addresses of clients
+- Traffic analysis possible
+- Initial discovery reveals intent
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use multiple blind peers**: Redundancy
+2. **Rotate peer keys**: Forward secrecy
+3. **Encrypt sensitive content**: Even though blind peers encrypt
+4. **Monitor availability**: Check your content is seeded
+
+```js
+// Good: Multiple peers
+const blind = new BlindPeering(swarm, store, {
+  mirrors: [
+    'peer1-public-key',
+    'peer2-public-key',
+    'peer3-public-key'
+  ]
+})
+
+// Bad: Single point of failure
+const blind = new BlindPeering(swarm, store, {
+  mirrors: ['single-peer-key']
+})
+```
+
+## Running Your Own Blind Peer
+
+### Minimal Setup
+
+```js
+const BlindPeer = require('blind-peer')
+
+const peer = new BlindPeer({
+  storage: './data',
+  port: process.env.PORT || 0
+})
+
+peer.ready().then(() => {
+  console.log('Blind peer ready')
+  console.log('Key:', peer.publicKey.toString('hex'))
+})
+```
+
+### Docker Deployment
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:18
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY package*.json ./
+RUN npm install blind-peer
+COPY . .
+EXPOSE 5000
+CMD ["node", "peer.js"]
+```

+# core-coupler - Core Peer Coordination
+
+## Overview
+
+**core-coupler** coordinates peers across multiple loosely-connected Hypercores. When a peer connects to one core, the coupler automatically "wakes up" related cores, ensuring efficient replication across a network of interconnected hypercores.
+
+## Architecture

+## Core Concept
+
+When peers connect to a "target" core, core-coupler ensures they also replicate related cores:
+
+```js
+const CoreCoupler = require('core-coupler')
+
+// Target core that peers connect to
+const target = store.get({ name: 'target' })
+
+// Couple other cores to target
+const coupler = new CoreCoupler(target, (stream, cores) => {
+  // Called when peer connects but missing coupled cores
+  console.log('Waking up', cores.length, 'cores')
+})
+
+// Add related cores
+coupler.add(core1)
+coupler.add(core2)
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Creating a Coupler
+
+```js
+const CoreCoupler = require('core-coupler')
+
+const coupler = new CoreCoupler(targetCore, wakeupFunction)
+```
+
+### Wakeup Function
+
+```js
+const coupler = new CoreCoupler(target, (stream, cores) => {
+  // stream: Protomux stream to peer
+  // cores: Array of cores to wake up
+  
+  console.log('Peer connected, waking up cores:', cores.length)
+  
+  // Typically you'd replicate these cores
+  for (const core of cores) {
+    core.replicate(stream)
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Managing Coupled Cores
+
+#### Add Core
+
+```js
+// Idempotent - safe to call multiple times
+coupler.add(core)
+coupler.add(core) // No-op, already added
+```
+
+#### Remove Core
+
+```js
+coupler.remove(core)
+```
+
+#### Check Coupled Set
+
+```js
+console.log(coupler.coupled) // Set of coupled cores
+console.log(coupler.coupled.has(core)) // true/false
+```
+
+### Manual Update
+
+```js
+// Force wakeup for all coupled cores on a stream
+await coupler.update(stream)
+```
+
+### Cleanup
+
+```js
+// Remove event listeners
+coupler.destroy()
+```
+
+## Complete Examples

+    return this.document.key
+  }
+  
+  emit(event, data) {
+    // Event emission logic
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Idempotent additions**: Safe to add same core multiple times
+2. **Stream validation**: Check stream before replicating
+3. **Error handling**: Coupling can fail
+4. **Cleanup**: Destroy couplers when done
+5. **Selective coupling**: Don't couple everything
+
+```js
+// Good: Validation and cleanup
+const coupler = new CoreCoupler(target, (stream, cores) => {
+  if (!stream || stream.destroyed) return
+  
+  for (const core of cores) {
+    try {
+      core.replicate(stream)
+    } catch (err) {
+      console.error('Replication failed:', err)
+    }
+  }
+})
+
+// Later
+coupler.destroy()
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Peer joins target**: Peer connects and starts replicating
+2. **Coupler detects**: New peer-add event on target
+3. **Check coupled cores**: For each coupled core, check if peer has it
+4. **Wakeup if missing**: Call wakeup function with missing cores
+5. **Replicate**: Wakeup function replicates missing cores
+
+```
+Peer A ── connects to ──► Target Core
+    │
+    │ (coupler detects)
+    ▼
+Check: Has Core B? NO ──► Wakeup(Core B)
+Check: Has Core C? YES ──► Skip

+
+## Overview
+
+**hypercore-storage** is the high-performance storage engine for Hypercore 11+, built on RocksDB. It provides atomic batching, efficient indexing, and concurrent access patterns optimized for append-only log storage.

+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Storage Structure
+
+Hypercore-storage organizes data in RocksDB column families:
+
+```
+RocksDB
+├── auth (core authentication)
+├── head (merkle tree root)
+├── blocks (data blocks)
+├── tree (merkle tree nodes)
+├── bitfield (sync state)
+└── userdata (custom data)
+```
+
+### Atomic Operations
+
+All writes are batched for atomicity:
+
+```js
+const tx = core.write()
+tx.putBlock(0, blockData)
+tx.putTreeNode(node)
+tx.setHead(newHead)
+await tx.flush() // All succeed or all fail
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Storage Instance
+
+```js
+const Storage = require('hypercore-storage')
+
+// Create/open storage
+const storage = new Storage('./storage-path')
+
+// Or with existing RocksDB instance
+const rocksdb = require('rocksdb-native')
+const db = new rocksdb('./db')
+const storage = new Storage(db)
+```
+
+### Core Management
+
+#### Create Core
+
+```js
+const core = await storage.createCore({
+  key: publicKey,
+  discoveryKey: discoveryKey,
+  manifest: { /* manifest data */ },
+  keyPair: { publicKey, secretKey },
+  encryptionKey: encryptionKey,
+  userData: { name: 'my-core' }
+})
+```
+
+#### Resume Core
+
+```js
+const core = await storage.resumeCore(discoveryKey)
+if (!core) {
+  console.log('Core not found')
+}
+```
+
+#### Check Existence
+
+```js
+const exists = await storage.hasCore(discoveryKey)
+```
+
+#### List Cores
+
+```js
+for await (const { discoveryKey, core } of storage.createCoreStream()) {
+  console.log('Core:', discoveryKey.toString('hex'))
+}
+```
+
+### Read Operations
+
+```js
+const rx = core.read()
+
+// Get auth info
+const auth = await rx.getAuth()
+
+// Get merkle tree head
+const head = await rx.getHead()
+
+// Get block
+const block = await rx.getBlock(0)
+
+// Get tree node
+const node = await rx.getTreeNode(0)
+
+// Get bitfield page
+const page = await rx.getBitfieldPage(0)
+
+// Get user data
+const userData = await rx.getUserData('my-key')
+
+// Must flush to execute
+rx.tryFlush()
+```
+
+### Write Operations
+
+```js
+const tx = core.write()
+
+// Write block
+tx.putBlock(0, buffer)
+
+// Delete block
+tx.deleteBlock(0)
+tx.deleteBlockRange(0, 10)
+
+// Write tree node
+tx.putTreeNode({
+  index: 0,
+  hash: hashBuffer,
+  size: blockSize
+})
+
+// Delete tree node
+tx.deleteTreeNode(0)
+tx.deleteTreeNodeRange(0, 10)
+
+// Write bitfield page
+tx.putBitfieldPage(0, pageBuffer)
+
+// Delete bitfield page
+tx.deleteBitfieldPage(0)
+tx.deleteBitfieldPageRange(0, 10)
+
+// Set user data
+tx.putUserData('my-key', valueBuffer)
+tx.deleteUserData('my-key')
+
+// Set metadata
+tx.setAuth(newAuth)
+tx.setHead(newHead)
+tx.setHints({ replication: true })
+
+// Flush atomically
+await tx.flush()
+```
+
+### Atomic Batches
+
+```js
+// Create atom for cross-core atomic operations
+const atom = storage.createAtom()
+
+// Atomize cores
+const core1Atom = core1.atomize(atom)
+const core2Atom = core2.atomize(atom)
+
+// Make changes
+core1Atom.write().putBlock(0, data).flush()
+core2Atom.write().putBlock(0, data).flush()
+
+// Flush all atomically
+await atom.flush()
+
+// Listen for flush
+atom.onflush(() => {
+  console.log('Atomic batch flushed')
+})
+```
+
+### Streams
+
+```js
+// Stream all blocks
+for await (const block of core.createBlockStream()) {
+  console.log('Block:', block.index, block.data)
+}
+
+// Stream tree nodes
+for await (const node of core.createTreeNodeStream()) {
+  console.log('Node:', node.index)
+}
+
+// Stream bitfield pages
+for await (const page of core.createBitfieldStream()) {
+  console.log('Page:', page.index)
+}
+
+// Stream user data
+for await (const { key, value } of core.createUserDataStream({
+  gte: 'prefix-'
+})) {
+  console.log('User data:', key, value)
+}
+```
+
+### Sessions
+
+```js
+// Create named session (like a git branch)
+const session = core.createSession('backup', head)
+
+// Access through session
+const sessionCore = storage.resumeCore(session.discoveryKey)
+
+// Sessions have independent storage but share blocks
+```
+
+## Complete Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Core Operations
+
+```js
+const Storage = require('hypercore-storage')
+const crypto = require('hypercore-crypto')

+  
+  // Create core
+  const core = await storage.createCore({
+    key: keyPair.publicKey,
+    discoveryKey,
+    keyPair
+  })
+  
+  console.log('Core created')
+  
+  // Write some blocks
+  const tx = core.write()
+  
+  for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
+    const block = Buffer.from(`Block ${i}`)
+    const hash = crypto.data(block)
+    
+    tx.putBlock(i, block)
+    tx.putTreeNode({
+      index: i,
+      hash,
+      size: block.length
+    })
+  }
+  
+  // Update head
+  tx.setHead({
+    fork: 0,
+    length: 10,
+    rootHash: calculateRootHash()
+  })
+  
+  await tx.flush()
+  console.log('Blocks written')
+  
+  // Read blocks back
+  const rx = core.read()
+  const promises = []
+  
+  for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
+    promises.push(rx.getBlock(i))
+  }
+  
+  rx.tryFlush()
+  const blocks = await Promise.all(promises)
+  
+  blocks.forEach((block, i) => {
+    console.log(`Block ${i}:`, block.toString())
+  })
+  
+  await storage.close()
+}
+
+basicOperations().catch(console.error)
+```
+
+### Example 2: Multi-Core Atomic Batch
+
+```js
+const Storage = require('hypercore-storage')

+
+class StorageMigration {

+  }

+    
+    // List all cores in old storage
+    for await (const { discoveryKey, core: oldCore } of this.oldStorage.createCoreStream()) {
+      console.log('Migrating core:', discoveryKey.toString('hex'))

+      
+      console.log('Core migrated successfully')
+    }
+    
+    console.log('Migration complete')
+  }
+  
+  async copyBlocks(oldCore, newCore) {
+    const tx = newCore.write()
+    
+    for await (const { index, data } of oldCore.createBlockStream()) {
+      tx.putBlock(index, data)
+    }
+    
+    await tx.flush()
+  }
+  
+  async copyTreeNodes(oldCore, newCore) {
+    const tx = newCore.write()
+    
+    for await (const node of oldCore.createTreeNodeStream()) {
+      tx.putTreeNode(node)
+    }
+    
+    await tx.flush()
+  }
+  
+  async copyBitfield(oldCore, newCore) {
+    const tx = newCore.write()
+    
+    for await (const { index, data } of oldCore.createBitfieldStream()) {
+      tx.putBitfieldPage(index, data)
+    }
+    
+    await tx.flush()
+  }
+  
+  async copyUserData(oldCore, newCore) {
+    const tx = newCore.write()
+    
+    for await (const { key, value } of oldCore.createUserDataStream()) {
+      tx.putUserData(key, value)
+    }
+    
+    await tx.flush()
+  }
+  
+  async close() {
+    await this.oldStorage.close()
+    await this.newStorage.close()
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+const migration = new StorageMigration('./old-storage', './new-storage')
+await migration.migrate()
+await migration.close()
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Batching
+
+Always batch operations when possible:
+
+```js
+// Good: Single batch
+const tx = core.write()
+for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
+  tx.putBlock(i, data)
+}
+await tx.flush()
+
+// Bad: 1000 separate writes
+for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
+  const tx = core.write()
+  tx.putBlock(i, data)
+  await tx.flush()
+}
+```
+
+### Streaming
+
+Use streams for large datasets:
+
+```js
+// Memory efficient
+for await (const block of core.createBlockStream()) {
+  processBlock(block)
+}
+
+// Instead of loading all
+const blocks = []
+for (let i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
+  blocks.push(await core.read().getBlock(i))
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always flush**: Don't forget `await tx.flush()`
+2. **Batch writes**: Group operations
+3. **Handle errors**: Storage can fail
+4. **Close properly**: Always `await storage.close()`
+5. **Use atoms**: For multi-core consistency
+
+```js
+// Good pattern
+const storage = new Storage('./path')
+try {
+  const core = await storage.createCore({ key })
+  const tx = core.write()
+  tx.putBlock(0, data)
+  await tx.flush()
+} finally {
+  await storage.close()
+}
+```

+# hyperswarm-secret-stream - Encrypted P2P Streams
+
+## Overview
+
+**@hyperswarm/secret-stream** provides end-to-end encrypted duplex streams using the Noise protocol and libsodium's secretstream. It enables secure, forward-secret communication over any transport stream with automatic key exchange and authenticated encryption.
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Noise Protocol Handshake
+
+Uses Noise XX pattern with Ed25519 keys:
+
+```
+Initiator                  Responder
+    │                          │
+    ├──── e ──────────────────►│
+    │                          │
+    ├──── e, ee, s, es ───────►│
+    │                          │
+    │◄───────── e, ee, se, s ─┤
+    │                          │
+    [Encrypted channel ready]  │
+```
+
+### Secretstream Encryption
+
+After handshake, uses libsodium's secretstream (XSalsa20-Poly1305):
+- **Forward secrecy**: Keys rotated regularly
+- **Integrity**: Authenticated encryption
+- **Ordering**: Detects replay attacks
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```js
+const SecretStream = require('@hyperswarm/secret-stream')
+
+// Initiator (client)
+const a = new SecretStream(true, tcpClientStream)
+
+// Responder (server)
+const b = new SecretStream(false, tcpServerStream)
+
+// Encrypt data
+a.write(Buffer.from('Hello encrypted!'))
+
+// Receive decrypted data
+b.on('data', (data) => {
+  console.log(data.toString()) // 'Hello encrypted!'
+})
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Creating a Stream
+
+```js
+const SecretStream = require('@hyperswarm/secret-stream')
+
+// With existing transport stream
+const stream = new SecretStream(isInitiator, rawStream, options)
+
+// Or create raw stream later
+const stream = new SecretStream(isInitiator)
+stream.start(rawStream, options)
+```
+
+### Options
+
+```js
+const stream = new SecretStream(true, rawStream, {
+  // Noise pattern (default: 'XX')
+  pattern: 'XX',
+  
+  // Remote's public key (for authentication)
+  remotePublicKey: Buffer.from('...'),
+  
+  // Your key pair
+  keyPair: {
+    publicKey: Buffer.from('...'),
+    secretKey: Buffer.from('...')
+  },
+  
+  // Pre-computed handshake
+  handshake: {
+    tx, rx, hash, publicKey, remotePublicKey
+  },
+  
+  // Disable send API
+  enableSend: true
+})
+```
+
+### Properties
+
+```js
+// Local public key (after handshake)
+console.log(stream.publicKey.toString('hex'))
+
+// Remote's public key (after handshake)
+console.log(stream.remotePublicKey.toString('hex'))
+
+// Handshake hash (unique session ID)
+console.log(stream.handshakeHash.toString('hex'))
+
+// Raw bytes written (encrypted)
+console.log(stream.rawBytesWritten)
+
+// Raw bytes read (encrypted)
+console.log(stream.rawBytesRead)
+
+// Keep-alive interval
+console.log(stream.keepAlive)
+```
+
+### Methods
+
+#### Key Generation
+
+```js
+// Generate Ed25519 key pair
+const keyPair = SecretStream.keyPair()
+
+// Or from seed
+const keyPair = SecretStream.keyPair(seed)
+```
+
+#### Timeout and Keep-alive
+
+```js
+// Set timeout (auto-destroy if no data)
+stream.setTimeout(30000) // 30 seconds
+
+// Set keep-alive interval
+stream.setKeepAlive(5000) // Send heartbeat every 5s
+
+// Manual keep-alive
+stream.sendKeepAlive()
+```
+
+#### Unordered Messages (UDX only)
+
+```js
+// Send unordered message
+await stream.send(Buffer.from('urgent data'))
+
+// Or non-blocking
+stream.trySend(Buffer.from('urgent data'))
+
+// Receive unordered messages
+stream.on('message', (data) => {
+  console.log('Received:', data)
+})
+```
+
+### Events
+
+```js
+// Handshake complete
+stream.on('connect', () => {
+  console.log('Secure connection established')
+  console.log('Remote public key:', stream.remotePublicKey.toString('hex'))
+})
+
+// Data received (decrypted)
+stream.on('data', (data) => {
+  console.log('Decrypted data:', data)
+})
+
+// Connection closed
+stream.on('close', () => {
+  console.log('Connection closed')
+})
+
+// Error
+stream.on('error', (err) => {
+  console.error('Stream error:', err)
+})
+```

+      this.connections.delete(key)
+    }
+    
+    // Check capacity
+    if (this.connections.size >= this.maxConnections) {
+      await this.evictLRU()
+    }
+    
+    // Create new
+    const stream = await createFn()
+    
+    stream.on('close', () => {
+      this.connections.delete(key)
+      this.processQueue()
+    })
+    
+    this.connections.set(key, stream)
+    return stream
+  }
+  
+  async evictLRU() {
+    // Find oldest connection
+    let oldest = null
+    let oldestTime = Infinity
+    
+    for (const [key, conn] of this.connections) {
+      if (conn.lastUsed < oldestTime) {
+        oldest = key
+        oldestTime = conn.lastUsed
+      }
+    }
+    
+    if (oldest) {
+      const conn = this.connections.get(oldest)
+      conn.end()
+      this.connections.delete(oldest)
+    }
+  }
+  
+  processQueue() {
+    if (this.queue.length === 0) return
+    const { resolve, key, createFn } = this.queue.shift()
+    this.getConnection(key, createFn).then(resolve)
+  }
+  
+  closeAll() {
+    for (const conn of this.connections.values()) {
+      conn.destroy()
+    }
+    this.connections.clear()
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+const pool = new SecureConnectionPool(5)
+
+const stream = await pool.getConnection('peer-1', async () => {
+  const socket = await connectToPeer('peer-1')
+  return new SecretStream(true, socket)
+})
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Verify remote keys**: Always check who you're talking to
+2. **Set timeouts**: Prevent hanging connections
+3. **Use keep-alive**: Detect dead connections
+4. **Handle errors**: Encryption can fail
+5. **Key rotation**: Generate fresh keys periodically
+
+```js
+// Good: Verification and error handling
+const stream = new SecretStream(true, socket, {
+  remotePublicKey: expectedKey // Verify peer
+})
+
+stream.setTimeout(30000)
+stream.setKeepAlive(5000)
+
+stream.on('error', (err) => {
+  console.error('Encryption error:', err)
+  stream.destroy()
+})
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+- **Reuse streams**: Don't create new streams for every message
+- **Batch small writes**: Reduce encryption overhead
+- **Use unordered sends**: For non-critical data over UDX
+- **Monitor byte counters**: Track actual throughput

+Pear.debug = true
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Build Pipeline
+
+```js
+// pear.config.js
+module.exports = {
+  type: 'desktop',
+  main: 'app.js',
+  
+  build: {
+    // Custom build steps
+    before: async () => {
+      console.log('Pre-build...')
+    },
+    
+    after: async () => {
+      console.log('Post-build...')
+    }
+  },
+  
+  // Environment-specific config
+  env: {
+    development: {
+      debug: true
+    },
+    production: {
+      optimize: true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Programmatic Usage
+
+```js
+const pear = require('pear/cli')
+
+// Run command programmatically
+await pear.run('dev', {
+  port: 8080,
+  watch: true
+})
+
+// Build
+await pear.build({
+  production: true,
+  out: './dist'
+})
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use package.json scripts**: Standardize commands
+2. **Test before release**: Always test builds
+3. **Version tagging**: Use semantic versioning
+4. **Environment configs**: Separate dev/prod settings
+5. **Clean builds**: Remove old build artifacts
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "dev": "pear dev",
+    "test": "brittle test/**/*.js",
+    "build": "pear build --production",
+    "stage": "pear stage pear://my-app",
+    "release": "npm run test && npm run build && pear release pear://my-app"
+  }
+}

+# rocksdb-native - RocksDB Bindings for JavaScript
+
+## Overview
+
+**rocksdb-native** provides high-performance bindings to RocksDB, Facebook's embedded key-value store. It offers ACID transactions, column families, iterators, and advanced storage features optimized for the Holepunch ecosystem.
+
+## Architecture
+

+    subgraph "JavaScript API"
+        DB[Database]
+        BATCH[Write Batch]

+    BINDINGS --> V8
+    V8 --> LSM
+    V8 --> WAL
+    V8 --> CF
+    
+    LSM --> SST
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```js
+const RocksDB = require('rocksdb-native')
+
+// Open database
+const db = new RocksDB('./my-database')
+
+// Write
+const w = db.write()
+w.put('hello', 'world')
+await w.flush()
+
+// Read
+const r = db.read()
+const promise = r.get('hello')
+r.flush()
+
+console.log(await promise) // 'world'
+
+await db.close()
+```
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### LSM Tree Storage
+
+RocksDB uses Log-Structured Merge Tree:
+
+1. **MemTable**: In-memory write buffer
+2. **WAL**: Write-ahead log for durability
+3. **SST Files**: Immutable sorted files on disk
+4. **Compaction**: Background merging of files
+
+```
+Writes → MemTable → WAL
+         ↓
+    Flush to SST
+         ↓
+   Level 0 SST
+         ↓
+   Compaction
+         ↓
+   Level N SST
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Database Operations
+
+#### Open Database
+
+```js
+const RocksDB = require('rocksdb-native')
+
+// Basic
+const db = new RocksDB('./path')
+
+// With options
+const db = new RocksDB('./path', {
+  createIfMissing: true,
+  errorIfExists: false,
+  compression: true,
+  cacheSize: 8 * 1024 * 1024, // 8MB
+  writeBufferSize: 64 * 1024 * 1024 // 64MB
+})
+
+await db.ready()
+```
+
+#### Close Database
+
+```js
+await db.close()
+```
+
+### Write Operations
+
+#### Basic Write
+
+```js
+const w = db.write()
+w.put('key', 'value')
+await w.flush()
+```
+
+#### Multiple Operations
+
+```js
+const w = db.write()
+w.put('key1', 'value1')
+w.put('key2', 'value2')
+w.delete('old-key')
+await w.flush() // Atomic: all succeed or all fail
+```
+
+#### Binary Data
+
+```js
+const w = db.write()
+w.put(Buffer.from([0x00, 0x01]), Buffer.from([0x02, 0x03]))
+await w.flush()
+```
+
+### Read Operations
+
+#### Basic Read
+
+```js
+const r = db.read()
+const promise = r.get('key')
+r.flush()
+
+const value = await promise
+```
+
+#### Multiple Reads
+
+```js
+const r = db.read()
+const p1 = r.get('key1')
+const p2 = r.get('key2')
+const p3 = r.get('key3')
+r.flush()
+
+const [v1, v2, v3] = await Promise.all([p1, p2, p3])
+```
+
+#### Non-existent Keys
+
+```js
+const r = db.read()
+const promise = r.get('nonexistent')
+r.flush()
+
+const value = await promise
+if (value === null) {
+  console.log('Key not found')
+}
+```
+
+### Iteration
+
+#### Range Scan
+
+```js
+const iterator = db.iterator({
+  gte: 'prefix-a',
+  lt: 'prefix-b'
+})
+
+for await (const [key, value] of iterator) {
+  console.log(key, value)
+}
+```
+
+#### Reverse Iteration
+
+```js
+const iterator = db.iterator({
+  reverse: true,
+  limit: 10
+})
+
+for await (const [key, value] of iterator) {
+  console.log(key, value)
+}
+```
+
+#### Prefix Scan
+
+```js
+const iterator = db.iterator({
+  gte: 'user:',
+  lt: 'user;'
+})
+
+for await (const [key, value] of iterator) {
+  console.log('User:', key, value)
+}
+```
+
+### Snapshots
+
+```js
+// Create snapshot
+const snapshot = db.snapshot()
+
+// Read from snapshot
+const r = db.read()
+const value = await r.get('key', { snapshot })
+
+// Snapshot remains stable even if db changes
+await db.put('key', 'new-value')
+const oldValue = await r.get('key', { snapshot }) // Still old value
+```
+
+## Complete Examples
+
+### Example 1: Key-Value Store
+
+```js
+const RocksDB = require('rocksdb-native')
+
+class KVStore {
+  constructor(path) {
+    this.db = new RocksDB(path)

+  async set(key, value) {
+    const w = this.db.write()
+    w.put(key, JSON.stringify(value))
+    await w.flush()
+  }
+  
+  async get(key) {
+    const r = this.db.read()
+    const promise = r.get(key)
+    r.flush()
+    
+    const value = await promise
+    return value ? JSON.parse(value) : null
+  }
+  
+  async delete(key) {
+    const w = this.db.write()
+    w.delete(key)
+    await w.flush()
+  }

+    })
+    
+    for await (const [key, value] of iterator) {
+      results.push({ key, value: JSON.parse(value) })
+    }
+    
+    return results
+  }
+  
+  async close() {
+    await this.db.close()
+  }
+}
+

+await store.ready()
+
+await store.set('user:1', { name: 'Alice', age: 30 })
+await store.set('user:2', { name: 'Bob', age: 25 })
+
+const user = await store.get('user:1')
+console.log('User:', user)
+
+const users = await store.list('user:')
+console.log('All users:', users)
+
+await store.close()
+```
+
+### Example 2: Time-Series Database
+
+```js

+  async ready() {
+    await this.db.ready()
+  }
+  
+  // Key format: metric:timestamp
+  async insert(metric, timestamp, value) {
+    const key = `${metric}:${timestamp.toString().padStart(20, '0')}`
+    
+    const w = this.db.write()
+    w.put(key, JSON.stringify({
+      metric,
+      timestamp,
+      value
+    }))
+    await w.flush()
+  }
+  
+  async query(metric, start, end) {
+    const results = []
+    
+    const startKey = `${metric}:${start.toString().padStart(20, '0')}`
+    const endKey = `${metric}:${end.toString().padStart(20, '0')}`
+    
+    const iterator = this.db.iterator({

+  }
+  
+  async getLatest(metric, count = 10) {
+    const results = []
+    const prefix = `${metric}:`
+    
+    const iterator = this.db.iterator({
+      gte: prefix,
+      reverse: true,
+      limit: count
+    })
+    
+    for await (const [key, value] of iterator) {

+    }
+    
+    return results.reverse()
+  }
+  
+  async close() {
+    await this.db.close()
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+const tsdb = new TimeSeriesDB('./tsdb')
+await tsdb.ready()
+
+// Insert data
+const now = Date.now()
+for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+  await tsdb.insert('temperature', now - (100 - i) * 1000, 20 + Math.random() * 5)
+}
+
+// Query range
+const readings = await tsdb.query('temperature', now - 60000, now)
+console.log('Readings:', readings.length)
+
+// Get latest
+const latest = await tsdb.getLatest('temperature', 5)
+console.log('Latest:', latest)
+
+await tsdb.close()
+```
+
+### Example 3: Index Storage
+
+```js
+const RocksDB = require('rocksdb-native')
+
+class IndexedStorage {
+  constructor(path) {
+    this.db = new RocksDB(path)
+  }

+    const w = this.db.write()
+    
+    // Store document
+    w.put(`doc:${id}`, JSON.stringify(doc))
+    
+    // Update indexes
+    for (const [field, value] of Object.entries(doc)) {
+      if (field === 'id') continue
+      const indexKey = `idx:${field}:${value}:${id}`
+      w.put(indexKey, id)
+    }

+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+### Write Batching
+
+```js
+// Good: Batch writes
+const w = db.write()
+for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
+  w.put(`key-${i}`, `value-${i}`)
+}
+await w.flush()
+
+// Bad: Individual writes
+for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
+  const w = db.write()
+  w.put(`key-${i}`, `value-${i}`)
+  await w.flush()
+}
+```
+
+### Read Batching
+
+```js
+// Good: Batch reads
+const r = db.read()
+const promises = []
+for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+  promises.push(r.get(`key-${i}`))
+}
+r.flush()
+const values = await Promise.all(promises)
+
+// Bad: Sequential reads
+const values = []
+for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+  const r = db.read()
+  const promise = r.get(`key-${i}`)
+  r.flush()
+  values.push(await promise)
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Reuse iterators**: Don't create many short-lived iterators
+2. **Batch operations**: Group reads and writes
+3. **Use snapshots**: For consistent reads
+4. **Compact periodically**: Manage disk space
+5. **Handle errors**: Storage can fail
+
+```js
+// Good pattern
+try {
+  const snapshot = db.snapshot()
+  const r = db.read()
+  // ... reads with snapshot
+  r.flush()
+} catch (err) {
+  console.error('DB error:', err)
+} finally {
+  await db.close()
+}
+```

+# watch-drive - File System Watching for Drives
+
+## Overview
+
+**watch-drive** monitors Hyperdrive or Localdrive for changes and emits diffs when files are added, modified, or deleted. It provides efficient filesystem watching with debouncing and filtering capabilities.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    subgraph "Watch Engine"
+        WATCH[Watcher]
+        POLL[Poller]
+        DEBOUNCE[Debouncer]
+    end
+    
+    subgraph "Drive"
+        ENTRIES[Entry Iterator]
+        SNAPSHOT[Snapshot]
+        DIFF[Diff Engine]
+    end
+    
+    subgraph "Output"
+        STREAM[Readable Stream]
+        EVENTS[Change Events]
+        FILTER[Filters]
+    end
+    
+    WATCH --> POLL
+    POLL --> ENTRIES
+    ENTRIES --> SNAPSHOT
+    SNAPSHOT --> DIFF
+    DIFF --> DEBOUNCE
+    DEBOUNCE --> STREAM
+    STREAM --> EVENTS
+    FILTER --> STREAM
+```
+
+## Core Concept
+
+Watch-drive polls the drive at intervals and emits diffs:
+
+```js
+const watch = require('watch-drive')
+
+const w = watch(drive, '/prefix')
+
+for await (const { diff } of w) {
+  for (const { type, key } of diff) {
+    console.log(type, key) // 'update' or 'delete'
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Creating a Watcher
+
+```js
+const watch = require('watch-drive')
+
+// Watch entire drive
+const w = watch(drive)
+
+// Watch specific prefix
+const w = watch(drive, '/src')
+
+// With options
+const w = watch(drive, '/src', {
+  interval: 1000,      // Poll every 1 second (default: 1000ms)
+  debounce: 100,       // Debounce changes by 100ms
+  filter: (key) => true // Filter function
+})
+```
+
+### Watcher Stream
+
+The watcher returns a readable stream of change events:
+
+```js
+// Async iterator
+for await (const { diff } of w) {
+  // diff is array of changes
+}
+
+// Event-based
+w.on('data', ({ diff }) => {
+  // Handle changes
+})
+
+// Pause/resume
+w.pause()
+w.resume()
+
+// Stop watching
+w.destroy()
+```
+
+### Change Events
+
+Each diff entry contains:
+
+```js
+{
+  type: 'update',  // or 'delete'
+  key: '/path/to/file'
+}
+```
+
+## Complete Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic File Watching
+
+```js
+const watch = require('watch-drive')
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+
+async function watchFiles() {
+  const drive = new Localdrive('./project')
+  await drive.ready()
+  
+  console.log('Watching ./project...')
+  
+  const w = watch(drive)
+  
+  for await (const { diff } of w) {
+    for (const change of diff) {
+      const icon = change.type === 'update' ? '📝' : '🗑️'
+      console.log(`${icon} ${change.type}: ${change.key}`)
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+watchFiles().catch(console.error)
+```
+
+### Example 2: Build on Change
+
+```js
+const watch = require('watch-drive')
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+const { exec } = require('child_process')
+const { promisify } = require('util')

+      console.log('✅ Build successful')
+    } catch (err) {
+      console.error('❌ Build failed:', err.message)
+    } finally {
+      this.building = false
+      
+      if (this.pendingBuild) {
+        this.pendingBuild = false
+        await this.triggerBuild()
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+const builder = new AutoBuilder('./src', './dist')
+builder.start()
+```

+
+// Usage
+const sync = new AutoSync('./project', './sync-storage')

+    
+    // Start WebSocket server for live reload
+    const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ server })
+    wss.on('connection', (ws) => {

+
+### Example 5: Test Watcher
+
+```js
+const watch = require('watch-drive')
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+const { spawn } = require('child_process')
+
+class TestWatcher {
+  constructor(testDir) {
+    this.drive = new Localdrive(testDir)
+    this.running = false
+    this.lastRun = 0
+  }
+  
+  async start() {
+    await this.drive.ready()
+    
+    console.log(`Watching tests in ${this.drive.root}...`)
+    
+    const w = watch(this.drive, '/', {
+      debounce: 200,
+      filter: (key) => key.endsWith('.test.js') || key.endsWith('.spec.js')
+    })
+    
+    // Run all tests initially
+    await this.runTests()
+    
+    for await (const { diff } of w) {
+      const changedFiles = diff.map(d => d.key)
+      console.log('\n📝 Changed:', changedFiles.join(', '))
+      
+      await this.runTests(changedFiles)
+    }
+  }
+  
+  async runTests(files = []) {
+    if (this.running) return
+    
+    // Throttle to max once per 2 seconds
+    if (Date.now() - this.lastRun < 2000) return
+    
+    this.running = true
+    this.lastRun = Date.now()
+    
+    console.log('\n🧪 Running tests...\n')
+    
+    return new Promise((resolve) => {
+      const args = files.length > 0 ? files : ['test/']
+      const child = spawn('npm', ['test', '--', ...args], {
+        stdio: 'inherit',
+        cwd: this.drive.root
+      })
+      
+      child.on('close', (code) => {
+        this.running = false
+        console.log(code === 0 ? '\n✅ Tests passed' : '\n❌ Tests failed')
+        resolve()
+      })
+    })
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+const watcher = new TestWatcher('./')
+watcher.start()
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+```js
+const w = watch(drive, prefix, {
+  // Polling interval in milliseconds
+  interval: 1000,
+  
+  // Debounce window in milliseconds
+  debounce: 100,
+  
+  // Filter function to include/exclude files
+  filter: (key) => {
+    return !key.includes('node_modules') &&
+           !key.startsWith('.')
+  }
+})
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```js
+const w = watch(drive)
+
+w.on('error', (err) => {
+  console.error('Watcher error:', err)
+})
+
+w.on('close', () => {
+  console.log('Watcher closed')
+})
+
+// Graceful shutdown
+process.on('SIGINT', () => {
+  w.destroy()
+  process.exit(0)
+})
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use debouncing**: Prevents excessive rebuilds
+2. **Filter early**: Reduces processing overhead
+3. **Handle errors**: Watchers can fail
+4. **Clean up**: Always destroy when done
+5. **Throttle builds**: Don't build on every keystroke
+
+```js
+// Good
+const w = watch(drive, '/', {
+  debounce: 500,  // Wait for typing to stop
+  filter: (key) => !key.includes('node_modules')
+})
+
+// Bad - no debouncing
+const w = watch(drive)
+for await (const { diff } of w) {
+  await expensiveBuild() // Called too frequently!
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Polling interval**: Balance responsiveness vs CPU usage
+- **Debouncing**: Essential for file system events
+- **Filtering**: Reduces diff processing
+- **Large drives**: Consider watching subdirectories
