+# brittle - Modern TAP Test Framework
+
+## Overview
+
+**brittle** is a modern, fast TAP (Test Anything Protocol) test runner built for JavaScript's asynchronous era. It provides a clean, intuitive API for writing tests with excellent support for async/await, subtests, and parallel execution. Brittle powers the test suites throughout the Holepunch ecosystem.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```mermaid
+graph TB
+    subgraph "Test Runner"
+        TEST[Test Definition]
+        ASSERT[Assertions]
+        SUB[Subtests]
+        HOOK[Lifecycle Hooks]
+    end
+    
+    subgraph "Execution"
+        SEQ[Sequential]
+        PAR[Parallel]
+        SOLO[Solo Mode]
+        SKIP[Skip/Todo]
+    end
+    
+    subgraph "Output"
+        TAP[TAP Format]
+        COV[Coverage]
+        TRACE[Stack Traces]
+    end
+    
+    TEST --> ASSERT
+    TEST --> SUB
+    TEST --> HOOK
+    
+    ASSERT --> SEQ
+    SUB --> PAR
+    TEST --> SOLO
+    TEST --> SKIP
+    
+    SEQ --> TAP
+    PAR --> TAP
+    TAP --> COV
+    TAP --> TRACE
+```
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```js
+import test from 'brittle'
+
+test('basic assertions', function (t) {
+  t.is(typeof Date.now(), 'number')
+  t.not(typeof Date.now(), 'string')
+  
+  t.ok(Date.now() > 0)
+  t.absent(null)
+  
+  t.alike({ a: 1 }, { a: 1 })
+  t.unlike({ a: 2 }, { a: 3 })
+  
+  t.pass()
+})
+
+test('async test', async function (t) {
+  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 100))
+  t.pass('async operation completed')
+})
+```
+
+## Assertions
+
+### Equality Assertions
+
+```js
+// Strict equality (===)
+t.is(actual, expected, [message])
+t.is(42, 42)
+t.is('hello', 'hello')
+
+// Strict inequality (!==)
+t.not(actual, expected, [message])
+t.not(42, '42')
+
+// Deep equality (objects/arrays)
+t.alike(actual, expected, [message])
+t.alike({ a: 1, b: 2 }, { a: 1, b: 2 })
+t.alike([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3])
+
+// Deep inequality
+t.unlike(actual, expected, [message])
+t.unlike({ a: 1 }, { a: 2 })
+```
+
+### Truthiness Assertions
+
+```js
+// Truthy check
+t.ok(value, [message])
+t.ok(true)
+t.ok(1)
+t.ok('hello')
+
+// Falsy check
+t.absent(value, [message])
+t.absent(false)
+t.absent(0)
+t.absent(null)
+t.absent(undefined)
+```
+
+### Pass/Fail
+
+```js
+// Explicit pass
+t.pass([message])
+
+// Explicit fail
+t.fail([message])
+```
+
+### Exception Handling
+
+```js
+// Test that function throws
+t.exception(() => {
+  throw new Error('Expected error')
+}, /Expected error/)
+
+// Async exception
+await t.exception(async () => {
+  throw new Error('Async error')
+})
+
+// Promise rejection
+await t.exception(Promise.reject(new Error('Rejected')))
+
+// Test that function does NOT throw
+t.execution(() => {
+  return 'No error'
+})
+
+// Include native errors (SyntaxError, etc.)
+t.exception.all(() => {
+  throw new SyntaxError('Native error')
+})
+```
+
+### Coercive Equality (== and !=)
+
+```js
+// Loose equality
+t.is.coercively(42, '42')
+
+// Loose inequality
+t.not.coercively(42, 43)
+
+// Coercive deep equality
+t.alike.coercively({ n: 1 }, { n: true })
+```
+
+## Test Structure
+
+### Test Plans
+
+```js
+// Explicit assertion count
+test('with plan', function (t) {
+  t.plan(3)
+  
+  t.pass('first')
+  t.pass('second')
+  setTimeout(() => t.pass('third'), 100)
+})
+```
+
+### Subtests
+
+```js
+test('parent test', async function (t) {
+  // Classic subtest
+  t.test('subtest A', function (sub) {
+    sub.plan(1)
+    sub.pass('in A')
+  })
+  
+  // Inverted subtest (async control)
+  const subB = t.test('subtest B')
+  subB.plan(1)
+  setTimeout(() => subB.pass('in B'), 100)
+  await subB
+  
+  t.pass('parent continues')
+})
+```
+
+### Inverted Tests
+
+```js
+// When you need to control flow manually
+const t = test('inverted')
+
+t.plan(2)
+
+setTimeout(() => {
+  t.pass('async 1')
+}, 100)
+
+setTimeout(() => {
+  t.pass('async 2')
+}, 200)
+
+// Without plan, must call end()
+const t2 = test('inverted no plan')
+t2.pass('done')
+t2.end()
+```
+
+## Test Selection
+
+### Solo Mode
+
+```js
+import { test, solo } from 'brittle'
+
+// Skip all others, run only this
+test('will be skipped', function (t) {
+  t.pass()
+})
+
+solo('only this runs', function (t) {
+  t.pass()
+})
+
+// Alternative syntax
+test.solo('also runs', function (t) {
+  t.pass()
+})
+```
+
+### Skip
+
+```js
+import { test, skip } from 'brittle'
+
+skip('not ready yet', function (t) {
+  t.fail('should not run')
+})
+
+// Alternative
+test.skip('also skipped', function (t) {
+  t.fail()
+})
+```
+
+### Todo
+
+```js
+import { test, todo } from 'brittle'
+
+todo('implement this later', function (t) {
+  // Test body is skipped
+})
+
+// Alternative
+test.todo('also todo', function (t) {
+  t.fail()
+})
+```
+
+## Lifecycle Hooks
+
+```js
+import { test, hook } from 'brittle'
+
+hook('setup', function (t) {
+  // Runs before all tests
+  global.db = createDatabase()
+  t.pass('setup complete')
+})
+
+test('test 1', function (t) {
+  t.ok(global.db)
+})
+
+test('test 2', function (t) {
+  t.ok(global.db)
+})
+
+hook('teardown', function (t) {
+  // Runs after all tests
+  global.db.close()
+  t.pass('teardown complete')
+})
+```
+
+### Teardown
+
+```js
+test('with cleanup', function (t) {
+  const resource = acquireResource()
+  
+  t.teardown(function () {
+    resource.release()
+  })
+  
+  t.pass('using resource')
+})
+
+// Async teardown
+test('async cleanup', async function (t) {
+  t.teardown(async function () {
+    await cleanupAsync()
+  })
+  
+  t.pass('test body')
+})
+
+// Ordered teardowns
+test('ordered cleanup', function (t) {
+  t.teardown(function () {
+    console.log('second')
+  })
+  
+  t.teardown(function () {
+    console.log('first')
+  }, { order: -1 }) // Runs first
+  
+  t.teardown(function () {
+    console.log('third')
+  }, { order: 1 }) // Runs last
+  
+  t.pass()
+})
+```
+
+## Utilities
+
+### Comments
+
+```js
+test('with comments', function (t) {
+  t.comment('Starting test...')
+  t.pass('step 1')
+  t.comment('Halfway done')
+  t.pass('step 2')
+})
+```
+
+### Timeout
+
+```js
+test('slow test', function (t) {
+  t.timeout(5000) // 5 seconds
+  
+  setTimeout(() => {
+    t.pass('completed')
+  }, 4000)
+})
+```

+  
+  // Automatically cleaned up after test
+})
+```
+

+    })
+    
+    transform.write('hello')
+    transform.write('world')
+    transform.end()
+  })
+})
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use async/await**: Cleaner than callbacks
+2. **Plan your assertions**: Catches missed assertions
+3. **Use teardown**: Ensures cleanup
+4. **Group related tests**: Use subtests
+5. **Write descriptive messages**: Makes failures clear
+
+```js
+// Good
+test('user authentication', async function (t) {
+  t.plan(3)
+  
+  const user = await createUser()
+  t.teardown(() => user.delete())
+  
+  t.ok(user.id, 'user has ID')
+  t.ok(user.token, 'user has auth token')
+  t.is(user.role, 'member', 'default role is member')
+})
+
+// Bad
+test('auth', function (t) {
+  createUser().then(user => {
+    t.ok(user.id)
+    // Missing assertions, no cleanup
+  })
+})
+```

+# hyperbeam - End-to-End Encrypted Pipes
+
+## Overview
+
+**hyperbeam** creates 1-to-1 end-to-end encrypted tunnels between peers using Hyperswarm and the Noise protocol. It provides the simplest way to establish secure communication channels in the Holepunch ecosystem - just share a passphrase and connect.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    subgraph "Peer A"
+        A[Hyperbeam]
+        NS[Noise Stream]
+    end
+    
+    subgraph "Discovery"
+        DHT[HyperDHT]
+        TOPIC[Passphrase Hash]
+    end
+    
+    subgraph "Peer B"
+        B[Hyperbeam]
+        NS2[Noise Stream]
+    end
+    
+    A -->|dht| DHT
+    B -->|dht| DHT
+    DHT --> TOPIC
+    A <-->|encrypted| B
+    NS --> A
+    NS2 --> B
+```
+
+## Core Concept
+
+Hyperbeam combines two powerful mechanisms:
+
+1. **Hyperswarm DHT**: Discover peers using a shared passphrase
+2. **Noise Protocol**: Establish encrypted connection with perfect forward secrecy
+
+The passphrase serves dual purpose:
+- **Discovery**: Hashed to create a DHT topic for peer discovery
+- **Encryption**: Used to derive ephemeral key pairs for the Noise handshake
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```js
+const Hyperbeam = require('hyperbeam')
+
+// Create a beam with auto-generated passphrase
+const beam = new Hyperbeam()
+console.log('Share this passphrase:', beam.key)
+
+// Pipe data
+process.stdin.pipe(beam).pipe(process.stdout)
+```
+
+On another machine:
+
+```js
+const Hyperbeam = require('hyperbeam')
+
+// Connect using the shared passphrase
+const beam = new Hyperbeam('neznr3z3j44l7q7sgynbzpdrdlpausurbpcmqvwupmuoidolbopa')
+
+process.stdin.pipe(beam).pipe(process.stdout)
+```
+
+That's it! You now have an encrypted tunnel.
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Creating a Beam
+
+```js
+const Hyperbeam = require('hyperbeam')
+
+// Auto-generate passphrase
+const beam = new Hyperbeam()
+console.log(beam.key) // 64-character hex string
+
+// Use existing passphrase
+const beam2 = new Hyperbeam('your-passphrase-here')
+
+// With custom DHT instance
+const DHT = require('hyperdht')
+const dht = new DHT()
+const beam3 = new Hyperbeam('passphrase', { dht })
+```
+
+### Properties
+
+```js
+// The passphrase (32 bytes as hex)
+console.log(beam.key) // 'neznr3z3j44l7q7sgynbzpdrdlpausurbpcmqvwupmuoidolbopa'
+
+// Duplex stream interface
+beam.write('hello')
+beam.on('data', (data) => {
+  console.log('Received:', data.toString())
+})
+```
+
+### Stream Interface
+
+Hyperbeam is a standard Node.js duplex stream:
+
+```js
+// Write data
+beam.write(Buffer.from('Hello'))
+beam.write('World')
+
+// Read data
+beam.on('data', (chunk) => {
+  console.log('Got:', chunk)
+})
+
+// Pipe to/from other streams
+fileStream.pipe(beam)
+beam.pipe(process.stdout)
+
+// End the stream
+beam.end()
+beam.end('final data')
+
+// Handle close
+beam.on('close', () => {
+  console.log('Connection closed')
+})
+
+// Handle errors
+beam.on('error', (err) => {
+  console.error('Beam error:', err)
+})
+```
+
+## Complete Examples
+
+### Example 1: Secure File Transfer
+
+```js
+const Hyperbeam = require('hyperbeam')

+async function sendFile(filepath) {
+  const beam = new Hyperbeam()
+  console.log('Passphrase:', beam.key)
+  console.log('Share this with recipient')
+  
+  const stream = fs.createReadStream(filepath)
+  
+  stream.pipe(beam)
+  
+  beam.on('finish', () => {
+    console.log('File sent successfully')
+    beam.end()
+  })
+  
+  beam.on('error', (err) => {
+    console.error('Transfer error:', err)
+  })
+}
+
+// Receiver
+async function receiveFile(passphrase, outputPath) {

+    console.log('Share this with someone to chat securely\n')
+  } else {
+    console.log('Connecting...')
+  }
+  
+  // Handle incoming messages
+  beam.on('data', (data) => {
+    // Clear current line and show message
+    process.stdout.clearLine()
+    process.stdout.cursorTo(0)
+    console.log(`\rFriend: ${data.toString()}`)
+    rl.prompt()
+  })
+  
+  beam.on('connect', () => {
+    console.log('Connected! Start typing...\n')
+  })
+  
+  // Read user input
+  const rl = readline.createInterface({
+    input: process.stdin,
+    output: process.stdout
+  })
+  
+  rl.setPrompt('You: ')
+  rl.prompt()
+  
+  rl.on('line', (line) => {
+    beam.write(line)
+    rl.prompt()
+  })
+  
+  beam.on('close', () => {
+    console.log('\nChat ended')
+    rl.close()
+    process.exit(0)
+  })
+}
+
+// Usage
+chat(process.argv[2])
+```

+  
+  rpc.end()
+}
+```
+
+### Example 4: Port Forwarding
+
+```js
+const Hyperbeam = require('hyperbeam')
+const net = require('net')
+
+// Forward local port over hyperbeam
+function forwardLocalPort(localPort, passphrase = null) {
+  const beam = passphrase 
+    ? new Hyperbeam(passphrase)
+    : new Hyperbeam()
+  
+  console.log('Forward passphrase:', beam.key)
+  
+  const server = net.createServer((socket) => {
+    console.log('Local connection, forwarding...')
+    socket.pipe(beam).pipe(socket)
+  })
+  
+  server.listen(localPort, () => {
+    console.log(`Forwarding localhost:${localPort} over hyperbeam`)
+  })
+}
+
+// Expose remote port locally
+function exposeRemotePort(passphrase, localPort) {
+  const beam = new Hyperbeam(passphrase)
+  
+  beam.on('connect', () => {
+    console.log('Connected to remote')
+  })
+  
+  const server = net.createServer((socket) => {
+    console.log('Connection received, piping to beam')
+    socket.pipe(beam).pipe(socket)
+  })
+  
+  server.listen(localPort, () => {
+    console.log(`Exposing remote as localhost:${localPort}`)
+  })
+}
+```
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install -g hyperbeam
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# On sender machine
+echo 'Hello, World!' | hyperbeam
+# Output: Passphrase for receiver: neznr3z3j44l7q7sgynbzpdrdlpausurbpcmqvwupmuoidolbopa
+
+# On receiver machine
+hyperbeam neznr3z3j44l7q7sgynbzpdrdlpausurbpcmqvwupmuoidolbopa
+# Output: Hello, World!
+```
+
+### File Transfer
+
+```bash
+# Send file
+cat secret.txt | hyperbeam
+
+# Receive to file
+hyperbeam <passphrase> > received.txt
+```
+
+### Pipe Commands
+
+```bash
+# Stream logs securely
+tail -f /var/log/app.log | hyperbeam
+
+# Database backup
+pg_dump mydb | hyperbeam
+
+# On receiver
+hyperbeam <passphrase> | psql mydb
+```
+
+## Security Model
+
+### Key Derivation
+
+```
+Passphrase (32 bytes)
+    ↓
+BLAKE2b hash
+    ↓
+Noise key pair (ed25519)
+    ↓
+Ephemeral handshake keys
+```
+
+### Encryption Properties
+
+- **End-to-end encryption**: No intermediary can read data
+- **Perfect forward secrecy**: Keys are ephemeral
+- **Authenticated**: Both peers verify each other's identity
+- **No metadata**: DHT only sees hashed passphrases
+
+### Passphrase Entropy
+
+The default generated passphrase provides 256 bits of entropy:
+
+```
+32 bytes = 256 bits = 2^256 possible combinations
+```
+
+For manual passphrases, use high entropy:
+
+```js
+// Good: Long random string
+const beam = new Hyperbeam('correct-horse-battery-staple-...')
+
+// Bad: Short predictable phrase
+const beam = new Hyperbeam('password123') // DON'T DO THIS
+```
+
+## Integration with Other Modules
+
+### With Protomux
+
+```js
+const Hyperbeam = require('hyperbeam')
+const Protomux = require('protomux')
+
+const beam = new Hyperbeam('passphrase')
+const mux = new Protomux(beam)
+
+// Now use protomux channels over encrypted beam
+```
+
+### With Corestore
+
+```js
+const Hyperbeam = require('hyperbeam')
+const Corestore = require('corestore')
+
+const beam = new Hyperbeam('passphrase')
+const store = new Corestore('./storage')
+
+// Replicate cores over beam
+store.replicate(beam)
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```js
+const beam = new Hyperbeam('passphrase')
+
+beam.on('error', (err) => {
+  if (err.code === 'ETIMEDOUT') {
+    console.log('Connection timed out')
+  } else if (err.code === 'ECONNREFUSED') {
+    console.log('Connection refused')
+  } else {
+    console.error('Unexpected error:', err)
+  }
+})
+
+beam.on('close', () => {
+  console.log('Connection closed')
+})
+
+// Retry logic
+function connectWithRetry(passphrase, maxRetries = 5) {
+  let retries = 0
+  
+  function attempt() {
+    const beam = new Hyperbeam(passphrase)
+    
+    beam.on('error', (err) => {
+      if (retries < maxRetries) {
+        retries++
+        console.log(`Retry ${retries}/${maxRetries}...`)
+        setTimeout(attempt, 1000 * retries)
+      }
+    })
+    
+    return beam
+  }
+  
+  return attempt()
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use generated passphrases**: More secure than human-chosen ones
+2. **Share securely**: Use side channels (QR, Signal, etc.)
+3. **One-time use**: Generate new passphrase per session
+4. **Handle errors**: Network is unreliable
+5. **Close properly**: Always end() when done
+
+```js
+// Good practice
+async function secureSession() {
+  const beam = new Hyperbeam()
+  
+  // Display as QR code for easy mobile sharing
+  displayQRCode(beam.key)
+  
+  try {
+    await performSecureExchange(beam)
+  } finally {
+    beam.end()
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Connection time**: ~1-3 seconds (DHT lookup + Noise handshake)
+- **Throughput**: Network limited, encryption overhead minimal
+- **Memory**: Low, streams data without buffering

+# localdrive - Filesystem API for Local Storage
+
+## Overview
+
+**localdrive** provides a Hyperdrive-compatible API for local filesystem operations. It allows you to use the same code for both local files and distributed Hyperdrives, making it perfect for development, testing, and seamless local/P2P transitions.
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Core Concept
+
+Localdrive implements the same interface as Hyperdrive:
+
+```js
+// Works with both
+const drive = isLocal 
+  ? new Localdrive('./local-folder')
+  : new Hyperdrive(store)
+
+// Same code works for both
+await drive.put('/file.txt', Buffer.from('Hello'))
+const data = await drive.get('/file.txt')
+```
+
+This enables:
+- **Development**: Build with local files, deploy to P2P
+- **Testing**: Test Hyperdrive code without P2P setup
+- **Migration**: Move data between local and distributed
+- **Caching**: Local cache of remote drives
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```js
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+
+// Create drive at root folder
+const drive = new Localdrive('./my-project')
+
+// Write file
+await drive.put('/readme.txt', Buffer.from('Hello World'))
+
+// Read file
+const data = await drive.get('/readme.txt')
+console.log(data.toString()) // 'Hello World'
+
+// List files
+for await (const entry of drive.list('/')) {
+  console.log(entry.key)
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Creating a Drive
+
+```js
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+
+// Basic usage
+const drive = new Localdrive('./root-folder')
+
+// With options
+const drive = new Localdrive('./root', {
+  followLinks: false,  // Don't follow symlinks
+  atomic: true,        // Atomic file writes
+  metadata: {          // Custom metadata hooks
+    get: (key) => { /* ... */ },
+    put: (key, value) => { /* ... */ },
+    del: (key) => { /* ... */ }
+  },
+  roots: {             // Multiple roots per prefix
+    '/static': './assets',
+    '/uploads': './data/uploads'
+  }
+})
+
+await drive.ready()
+```
+
+### File Operations
+
+#### Write Files
+
+```js
+// Write buffer
+await drive.put('/file.txt', Buffer.from('Hello'))
+
+// Write with metadata
+await drive.put('/file.txt', Buffer.from('Hello'), {
+  executable: true
+})
+
+// Stream write
+const ws = drive.createWriteStream('/large-file.bin')
+ws.write(chunk1)
+ws.write(chunk2)
+ws.end()
+```
+
+#### Read Files
+
+```js
+// Read entire file
+const buffer = await drive.get('/file.txt')
+
+// Read with options
+const partial = await drive.get('/file.txt', {
+  start: 100,
+  end: 200
+})
+
+// Stream read
+const rs = drive.createReadStream('/large-file.bin')
+for await (const chunk of rs) {
+  console.log('Chunk:', chunk.length)
+}
+
+// Read range
+const range = drive.createReadStream('/file.txt', {
+  start: 0,
+  length: 1024
+})
+```
+
+#### Delete Files
+
+```js
+await drive.del('/file.txt')
+```
+
+### Directory Operations
+
+#### List Files
+
+```js
+// List all files
+for await (const entry of drive.list('/')) {
+  console.log(entry.key, entry.value)
+}
+
+// List with ignore patterns
+for await (const entry of drive.list('/', {
+  ignore: ['node_modules', '.git']
+})) {
+  console.log(entry.key)
+}
+
+// Just names
+for await (const name of drive.readdir('/')) {
+  console.log(name)
+}
+```
+
+#### File Information
+
+```js
+const entry = await drive.entry('/file.txt')
+console.log(entry)
+// {
+//   key: '/file.txt',
+//   value: {
+//     executable: false,
+//     linkname: null,
+//     blob: { byteOffset, blockOffset, blockLength, byteLength },
+//     metadata: null
+//   },
+//   mtime: 1234567890
+// }
+```
+
+### Symlinks
+
+```js
+// Create symlink
+await drive.symlink('/link', '/target/file.txt')
+
+// Read symlink target
+const entry = await drive.entry('/link')
+console.log(entry.value.linkname) // '/target/file.txt'
+
+// Follow symlinks (if followLinks: true)
+const data = await drive.get('/link', { follow: true })
+```
+
+### Metadata
+
+```js
+// With custom metadata backend
+const metadata = new Map()
+
+const drive = new Localdrive('./root', {
+  metadata: {
+    get: (key) => metadata.get(key) || null,
+    put: (key, value) => metadata.set(key, value),
+    del: (key) => metadata.delete(key)
+  }
+})
+
+// Metadata is automatically managed
+await drive.put('/file.txt', Buffer.from('Hello'))
+// metadata.get('/file.txt') returns entry info
+```
+
+### Mirroring
+
+```js
+const Hyperdrive = require('hyperdrive')
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+const Corestore = require('corestore')
+
+// Local to Hyperdrive

+## Comparison: Localdrive vs Hyperdrive
+
+| Feature | Localdrive | Hyperdrive |
+|---------|-----------|------------|
+| Storage | Local filesystem | P2P distributed |
+| Versioning | No | Yes |
+| Conflict resolution | Last write wins | Built-in |
+| Offline | Always | Yes |
+| P2P sync | No | Yes |
+| API | Same | Same |
+| Performance | Fast (local) | Network dependent |
+| Use case | Dev/testing/production | Distributed apps |
+
+## Integration with Build Tools
+
+### Webpack Plugin
+
+```js
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+
+class LocaldrivePlugin {
+  constructor(options) {
+    this.drive = new Localdrive(options.root)
+  }
+  
+  apply(compiler) {
+    compiler.hooks.emit.tapAsync('LocaldrivePlugin', async (compilation, callback) => {
+      for await (const entry of this.drive.list('/')) {
+        const source = await this.drive.get(entry.key)
+        compilation.assets[entry.key.slice(1)] = {
+          source: () => source,
+          size: () => source.length
+        }
+      }
+      callback()
+    })
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Gulp Task
+
+```js
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+const { src, dest } = require('gulp')
+
+async function copyToDrive() {
+  const drive = new Localdrive('./output')
+  
+  return src('src/**/*')
+    .pipe(through2.obj(async (file, enc, cb) => {
+      await drive.put(
+        '/' + file.relative,
+        file.contents
+      )
+      cb(null, file)
+    }))
+}
+
+exports.copy = copyToDrive
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use atomic writes**: Prevents corruption on crash
+2. **Clean up temp files**: Always handle cleanup
+3. **Handle symlinks carefully**: Security implications
+4. **Filter sensitive files**: Don't sync .env, keys, etc.
+5. **Use transformers**: Process files during mirror
+
+```js
+// Good: Atomic + filtered + transformers
+const mirror = local.mirror(remote, {
+  atomic: true,
+  filter: (key) => {
+    return !key.includes('node_modules') &&
+           !key.startsWith('.env')
+  },
+  transformers: [
+    (key) => key.endsWith('.js') ? minifyStream() : null
+  ]
+})

+# mirror-drive - Drive Replication and Synchronization
+
+## Overview
+
+**mirror-drive** efficiently synchronizes files between drives (Localdrive, Hyperdrive, or any drive-like interface). It provides intelligent diffing, bidirectional sync, and flexible filtering - making it the standard tool for replicating content across storage systems.
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Core Concept
+
+Mirror-drive compares two drives and applies only the necessary changes:
+
+```
+Source Drive          Destination Drive          Action
+-------------         -----------------          ------
+/file.txt (v2)        /file.txt (v1)             UPDATE
+/new.txt              (missing)                  ADD
+(old.txt)             /old.txt                   DELETE (if prune)
+/same.txt (v1)        /same.txt (v1)             SKIP
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```js
+const MirrorDrive = require('mirror-drive')
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+const Hyperdrive = require('hyperdrive')
+const Corestore = require('corestore')
+
+// Source: Local folder
+const src = new Localdrive('./source')
+
+// Destination: Hyperdrive
+const store = new Corestore('./storage')
+const dst = new Hyperdrive(store)
+
+// Create mirror
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst)
+
+// Wait for completion
+await mirror.done()
+
+console.log('Synced:', mirror.count)
+// { files: 10, add: 2, remove: 1, change: 3 }
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Creating a Mirror
+
+```js
+const MirrorDrive = require('mirror-drive')
+
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  prefix: '/',              // Only sync files under this prefix
+  dryRun: false,            // Don't actually apply changes
+  prune: true,              // Delete files not in source
+  includeEquals: false,     // Include unchanged files in iterator
+  filter: (key) => true,    // Custom filter function
+  metadataEquals: (a, b) => true, // Custom metadata comparator
+  batch: false,             // Enable batching
+  entries: null,            // Use specific entry list
+  ignore: ['node_modules'], // Ignore patterns
+  transformers: []          // Content transformers
+})
+```
+
+### Properties
+
+```js
+// Sync statistics
+console.log(mirror.count)
+// {
+//   files: 100,     // Total files processed
+//   add: 10,        // Files added
+//   remove: 5,      // Files removed
+//   change: 15      // Files changed
+// }
+```
+
+### Methods
+
+#### Iterator Interface
+
+```js
+// Process diffs one by one
+for await (const diff of mirror) {
+  console.log(diff)
+  // {
+  //   op: 'add',          // 'add', 'remove', 'change'
+  //   key: '/file.txt',   // File path
+  //   bytesRemoved: 0,    // Bytes removed from dest
+  //   bytesAdded: 1024    // Bytes added to dest
+  // }
+}
+```
+
+#### Promise Interface
+
+```js
+// Wait for all operations to complete
+await mirror.done()
+
+// Or with timeout
+try {
+  await Promise.race([
+    mirror.done(),
+    new Promise((_, reject) => 
+      setTimeout(() => reject(new Error('Timeout')), 30000)
+    )
+  ])
+} catch (err) {
+  console.error('Sync failed:', err)
+}
+```
+
+## Options Deep Dive
+
+### Filtering
+
+```js
+// Ignore node_modules and .git
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  filter: (key) => {
+    return !key.includes('node_modules') &&
+           !key.includes('.git')
+  }
+})
+
+// Multiple patterns with ignore option
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  ignore: ['node_modules', '.git', '*.tmp']
+})
+
+// Prefix filtering (only sync /src folder)
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  prefix: '/src'
+})
+```
+
+### Dry Run
+
+```js
+// Preview changes without applying
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  dryRun: true
+})
+
+for await (const diff of mirror) {
+  console.log(`Would ${diff.op}: ${diff.key}`)
+}
+
+console.log('Total changes:', mirror.count)
+```
+
+### Pruning
+
+```js
+// Keep destination files not in source
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  prune: false  // Default: true
+})
+
+// This is useful for:
+// - Merging drives (not replacing)
+// - Preserving destination-specific files
+```
+
+### Custom Metadata Comparison
+
+```js
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  metadataEquals: (srcMeta, dstMeta) => {
+    // Custom logic to determine if metadata changed
+    return srcMeta.mtime === dstMeta.mtime &&
+           srcMeta.size === dstMeta.size
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Transformers
+
+```js
+const { Transform } = require('stream')
+
+// Minify JS files during sync
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  transformers: [
+    (key) => {
+      if (key.endsWith('.js')) {
+        return new Transform({
+          transform(chunk, enc, cb) {
+            // Simple minification
+            const minified = chunk.toString()
+              .replace(/\/\*[\s\S]*?\*\//g, '')
+              .replace(/\s+/g, ' ')
+            cb(null, minified)
+          }
+        })
+      }
+      return null
+    }
+  ]
+})
+```
+
+### Batch Processing
+
+```js
+// Process files in batches for better performance
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  batch: true
+})
+
+// Useful for large drives with many small files
+```
+
+## Complete Examples
+
+### Example 1: Simple Backup
+
+```js
+const MirrorDrive = require('mirror-drive')
+const Localdrive = require('localdrive')
+const Hyperdrive = require('hyperdrive')

+  // Source: local folder
+  const src = new Localdrive(sourceDir)
+  
+  // Destination: hyperdrive
+  const store = new Corestore('./backup-storage')
+  const dst = new Hyperdrive(store, backupKey)
+  
+  await dst.ready()
+  
+  console.log('Starting backup...')
+  console.log('Source:', sourceDir)
+  console.log('Backup key:', dst.key?.toString('hex') || 'new')
+  
+  const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+    prune: true,  // Remove deleted files from backup
+    filter: (key) => {
+      // Skip temporary and cache files
+      return !key.endsWith('.tmp') &&
+             !key.includes('node_modules') &&
+             !key.includes('.cache')
+    }
+  })
+  
+  // Show progress
+  for await (const diff of mirror) {
+    const icon = diff.op === 'add' ? '+' : 
+                 diff.op === 'remove' ? '-' : '~'
+    console.log(`${icon} ${diff.key}`)
+  }
+  
+  await mirror.done()
+  
+  console.log('\nBackup complete!')
+  console.log('Statistics:', mirror.count)
+  console.log('Backup key:', dst.key.toString('hex'))
+  
+  await dst.close()
+  return dst.key
+}
+
+// Usage
+backup('./documents')
+  .then(key => console.log('Backup key:', key.toString('hex')))
+  .catch(console.error)
+```
+
+### Example 2: Continuous Sync
+
+```js
+const MirrorDrive = require('mirror-drive')

+  }
+  
+  async start(key = null) {
+    this.dst = new Hyperdrive(this.store, key)
+    await this.dst.ready()
+    
+    console.log('Sync started')
+    console.log('Local:', this.src.root)
+    console.log('Key:', this.dst.key?.toString('hex'))
+    
+    // Initial sync
+    await this.sync()
+    
+    // Watch for changes
+    const watcher = chokidar.watch(this.src.root, {
+      ignored: /node_modules|\.git/,
+      persistent: true
+    })
+    
+    watcher.on('change', () => this.debouncedSync())
+    watcher.on('add', () => this.debouncedSync())
+    watcher.on('unlink', () => this.debouncedSync())
+    
+    return this.dst.key
+  }
+  
+  debouncedSync() {
+    if (this.debounceTimer) clearTimeout(this.debounceTimer)
+    this.debounceTimer = setTimeout(() => this.sync(), 1000)
+  }
+  
+  async sync() {
+    console.log('\nSyncing...', new Date().toISOString())
+    
+    const mirror = new MirrorDrive(this.src, this.dst, {
+      prune: true,
+      filter: (key) => !key.includes('node_modules')
+    })
+    
+    const changes = []
+    for await (const diff of mirror) {
+      changes.push(diff)
+    }
+    
+    await mirror.done()
+    
+    if (changes.length > 0) {
+      console.log(`Synced ${changes.length} files`)
+      console.log('Stats:', mirror.count)
+    } else {
+      console.log('No changes')
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+const sync = new ContinuousSync('./project', './sync-storage')
+sync.start()
+  .then(key => console.log('Sync key:', key.toString('hex')))
+  .catch(console.error)
+```
+
+### Example 3: Two-Way Sync with Conflict Resolution
+
+```js
+const MirrorDrive = require('mirror-drive')
+
+class TwoWaySync {
+  constructor(driveA, driveB) {
+    this.a = driveA
+    this.b = driveB
+    this.conflicts = []
+  }
+  
+  async sync() {

+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Use filters**: Skip unnecessary files early
+2. **Batch operations**: Enable batch mode for many small files
+3. **Avoid transformers if possible**: They add overhead
+4. **Use prefix**: Sync only needed subdirectories
+5. **Monitor count**: Track what's actually changing
+
+```js
+// Efficient mirroring
+const mirror = new MirrorDrive(src, dst, {
+  batch: true,
+  filter: (key) => {
+    // Fast early filtering
+    return key[0] !== '.' && 
+           !key.includes('node_modules')
+  },
+  prefix: '/src'  // Only sync what you need
+})
+```

+# sodium-universal - Cross-Platform Cryptography
+
+## Overview
+
+**sodium-universal** provides seamless, cross-platform bindings to libsodium - the modern, easy-to-use cryptographic library. It automatically selects the best implementation for your environment: native C bindings for Node.js via `sodium-native`, and pure JavaScript for browsers via `sodium-javascript`.

+
+## Quick Start
+
+```js
+const sodium = require('sodium-universal')
+
+// Generate secure random bytes
+const nonce = Buffer.allocUnsafe(24)
+sodium.randombytes_buf(nonce)
+
+// Hash data
+const hash = Buffer.allocUnsafe(32)
+sodium.crypto_generichash(hash, Buffer.from('Hello World'))
+
+console.log('Hash:', hash.toString('hex'))
+```
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Universal Compatibility
+
+```js
+// Same code works everywhere
+const sodium = require('sodium-universal')
+
+// Node.js: Uses fast C bindings
+// Browser: Uses JavaScript implementation
+// Electron: Automatically chooses based on context
+```
+
+### Secure Memory
+
+```js
+// Allocate secure memory (locked, non-swappable)
+const secretKey = sodium.sodium_malloc(32)
+
+// Zero memory before freeing
+sodium.sodium_memzero(secretKey)
+sodium.sodium_free(secretKey)
+```
+
+## Core APIs
+
+### Secret Key Encryption (Secretbox)
+
+Authenticated encryption with XSalsa20 + Poly1305:

+sodium.randombytes_buf(key)
+
+// Generate nonce (must be unique per message!)
+const nonce = Buffer.alloc(sodium.crypto_secretbox_NONCEBYTES)
+sodium.randombytes_buf(nonce)
+
+// Encrypt
+const message = Buffer.from('Secret message')
+const ciphertext = Buffer.alloc(message.length + sodium.crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES)
+
+sodium.crypto_secretbox_easy(ciphertext, message, nonce, key)
+
+// Decrypt
+const decrypted = Buffer.alloc(ciphertext.length - sodium.crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES)
+const success = sodium.crypto_secretbox_open_easy(decrypted, ciphertext, nonce, key)
+
+if (success) {

+}
+```
+
+### Public Key Encryption (Box)

+
+const message = Buffer.from('Hello Bob!')
+const ciphertext = Buffer.alloc(message.length + sodium.crypto_box_MACBYTES)
+
+sodium.crypto_box_easy(ciphertext, message, nonce, bobPublic, aliceSecret)
+
+// Bob decrypts from Alice
+const decrypted = Buffer.alloc(ciphertext.length - sodium.crypto_box_MACBYTES)

+
+// Sign with message attached
+const signedMessage = Buffer.alloc(message.length + sodium.crypto_sign_BYTES)
+sodium.crypto_sign(signedMessage, message, secretKey)
+
+// Open signed message
+const original = Buffer.alloc(signedMessage.length - sodium.crypto_sign_BYTES)
+const opened = sodium.crypto_sign_open(original, signedMessage, publicKey)
+
+if (opened) {

+
+```js
+const sodium = require('sodium-universal')
+const fs = require('fs')
+const crypto = require('crypto')
+
+class DocumentSigner {
+  constructor(keyFile) {
+    this.keyFile = keyFile
+    this.publicKey = Buffer.alloc(sodium.crypto_sign_PUBLICKEYBYTES)
+    this.secretKey = Buffer.alloc(sodium.crypto_sign_SECRETKEYBYTES)
+    this.loadOrCreateKeys()
+  }
+  
+  loadOrCreateKeys() {
+    if (fs.existsSync(this.keyFile)) {

+      this.publicKey = Buffer.from(keys.public, 'hex')
+      this.secretKey = Buffer.from(keys.secret, 'hex')

+  }
+  
+  signDocument(filePath) {

+    const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath)
+    
+    // Hash content
+    const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(content).digest()
+    
+    // Sign hash
+    const signature = Buffer.alloc(sodium.crypto_sign_BYTES)
+    sodium.crypto_sign_detached(signature, hash, this.secretKey)
+    
+    // Save signature
+    const sigPath = filePath + '.sig'
+    fs.writeFileSync(sigPath, JSON.stringify({
+      hash: hash.toString('hex'),
+      signature: signature.toString('hex'),
+      publicKey: this.publicKey.toString('hex')
+    }, null, 2))
+    
+    return sigPath
+  }
+  
+  verifyDocument(filePath, sigPath) {
+    // Read file and signature
+    const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath)
+    const sigData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(sigPath))
+    
+    // Verify hash
+    const computedHash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(content).digest()
+    if (computedHash.toString('hex') !== sigData.hash) {
+      return { valid: false, reason: 'File has been modified' }
+    }
+    
+    // Verify signature
+    const hash = Buffer.from(sigData.hash, 'hex')
+    const signature = Buffer.from(sigData.signature, 'hex')
+    const publicKey = Buffer.from(sigData.publicKey, 'hex')
+    
+    const valid = sodium.crypto_sign_verify_detached(signature, hash, publicKey)
+    
+    return { valid, publicKey: sigData.publicKey }
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+const signer = new DocumentSigner('./signing-keys.json')
+
+const sigFile = signer.signDocument('./contract.pdf')
+console.log('Document signed:', sigFile)
+
+const result = signer.verifyDocument('./contract.pdf', sigFile)
+console.log('Verification:', result.valid ? 'Valid' : 'Invalid')
+```
+
+## Constants Reference
+
+```js
+const sodium = require('sodium-universal')
+
+// Key sizes
+sodium.crypto_secretbox_KEYBYTES      // 32
+sodium.crypto_secretbox_NONCEBYTES    // 24
+sodium.crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES      // 16
+
+sodium.crypto_box_PUBLICKEYBYTES      // 32
+sodium.crypto_box_SECRETKEYBYTES      // 32
+sodium.crypto_box_NONCEBYTES          // 24
+sodium.crypto_box_MACBYTES            // 16
+
+sodium.crypto_sign_PUBLICKEYBYTES     // 32
+sodium.crypto_sign_SECRETKEYBYTES     // 64
+sodium.crypto_sign_BYTES              // 64
+
+sodium.crypto_generichash_BYTES       // 32
+sodium.crypto_generichash_KEYBYTES    // 32
+
+sodium.crypto_pwhash_SALTBYTES        // 16
+sodium.crypto_pwhash_STRBYTES         // 128
+```
+
+## Browser Usage
+
+```html
+<script src="bundle.js"></script>
+<script>
+  // After browserify/webpack bundling
+  const sodium = require('sodium-universal')
+  
+  const hash = Buffer.alloc(32)
+  sodium.crypto_generichash(hash, Buffer.from('Hello'))
+  console.log('Hash:', hash.toString('hex'))
+</script>
+```
+
+Or with modern bundlers:
+
+```js
+// webpack/vite/rollup will use browser field
+import sodium from 'sodium-universal'
+
+const key = new Uint8Array(32)
+sodium.randombytes_buf(key)
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Never reuse nonces**: Always generate fresh random nonces
+2. **Secure memory**: Use `sodium_malloc` for sensitive keys
+3. **Constant-time comparison**: Use `sodium_memcmp` for secrets
+4. **Proper key storage**: Never hardcode keys, use secure storage
+5. **Destroy secrets**: Use `sodium_memzero` before freeing
+
+```js
+// Good
+const nonce = Buffer.alloc(sodium.crypto_secretbox_NONCEBYTES)
+sodium.randombytes_buf(nonce) // Fresh every time
+
+// Good: Secure memory
+const key = sodium.sodium_malloc(32)
+sodium.randombytes_buf(key)
+// ... use key ...
+sodium.sodium_memzero(key)
+sodium.sodium_free(key)
+
+// Bad: Reusing nonce
+const badNonce = Buffer.alloc(24)
+sodium.randombytes_buf(badNonce)
+// Never use badNonce again!
+
+// Bad: Hardcoded key
+const badKey = Buffer.from('hardcoded key here')
+```
