+## Purpose
+
+Per-peer connection registry. The `ConnectionRegistry` is the single
+source of truth for "which peers does the transport believe are
+currently attached"; it owns the duplex socket reference, the dispose
+callback that unwires every `socket.on(...)` listener, and the OTel
+delta on `hyperswarm.active_peers`.
+
+The companion `writeFrame` helper resolves the callback-style
+`socket.write` into a Promise so the transport's `send()` method stays
+async without dropping bytes or losing errors.
+
+## Features
+
+- Single-entry-per-peer invariant (duplicate `add` ⇒ `PEER_ALREADY_CONNECTED`).
+- O(1) `has`/`get`/`remove`.
+- Dispose-on-remove and dispose-on-clear semantics — listeners can't leak.
+- `adjustActivePeers` (gauge) wired to `add`/`remove`/`clear`.
+- `writeFrame` returns Promise; rejects with `STREAM_FAILED` carrying
+  the underlying socket error as `cause`; increments
+  `hyperswarm.bytes_total{direction=out}` on success.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    ConnectionRegistry,
+    writeFrame,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+const registry = new ConnectionRegistry();
+registry.add({ peerId, socket, dispose: () => socket.destroy() });
+await writeFrame(socket, frame);
+registry.remove(peerId);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const registry = new ConnectionRegistry();
+
+swarm.on("connection", (socket, peerInfo) => {
+    const peerId = peerKeyHex(peerInfo.publicKey);
+    const dataHandler = (chunk: Uint8Array) => {
+        for (const env of decoder.push(chunk)) handleEnvelope(peerId, env);
+    };
+    const closeHandler = () => registry.remove(peerId);
+    const errHandler = () => registry.remove(peerId);
+    socket.on("data", dataHandler);
+    socket.on("close", closeHandler);
+    socket.on("error", errHandler);
+    registry.add({
+        peerId,
+        socket,
+        dispose: () => {
+            socket.destroy();
+        },
+    });
+});
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `class ConnectionRegistry`
+  - `add(connection: PeerConnection)` — throws `PEER_ALREADY_CONNECTED`
+    on duplicate `peerId`.
+  - `has(peerId)`, `get(peerId)`, `remove(peerId)` — standard map shape.
+  - `peers() => readonly PeerId[]` — snapshot.
+  - `clear()` — runs every dispose callback; bulk-decrements gauge.
+- `writeFrame(socket, frame) => Promise<void>` — Promise-wrapped write
+  with `STREAM_FAILED` on every error path.
+- `interface PeerConnection { peerId; socket; dispose }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`writeFrame` checks `socket.destroyed` _before_ invoking `write` to
+avoid the Node-net `ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED` race where a socket is closed
+between the registry lookup and the write call. The OTel byte-counter
+increments on the success branch only — a write that fails has not
+travelled the wire so it must not be counted, otherwise dashboards
+double-count failed payloads.

+# discovery
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+Thin orchestration wrapper around Hyperswarm's `join(topic)` and the
+returned discovery handle. The module's job is to (a) translate every
+DHT-side exception into a structured `DHT_LOOKUP_FAILED` carrying the
+original cause, (b) ensure a failed `flushed()` does not leak a
+half-joined discovery handle, and (c) emit a `hyperswarm.dht_lookup_ms`
+histogram sample on every code path — success or failure — so dashboards
+report end-to-end latency from `join` request to confirmed DHT presence.
+
+## Features
+
+- AbortSignal-aware entry: a pre-aborted signal short-circuits before
+  any side-effect on the swarm.
+- `flushed: false` opt-out for tests that don't want to wait on the DHT.
+- `recordDhtLookup` is called on the success path, on `join`-threw, and
+  on `flushed`-threw — no path skips the measurement.
+- `leaveTopic` mirrors the structured-error convention for symmetry.
+- Injectable clock via `opts.now` keeps histogram tests deterministic.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { joinTopic } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+const discovery = await joinTopic(swarm, topic);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const ctrl = new AbortController();
+setTimeout(() => ctrl.abort(), 2_000);
+
+const discovery = await joinTopic(swarm, topic, {
+    server: false,
+    client: true,
+    flushed: true,
+    signal: ctrl.signal,
+});
+
+try {
+    await discovery.refresh({ client: true });
+} finally {
+    await leaveTopic(discovery);
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `joinTopic(swarm, topic, opts?) => Promise<HyperswarmDiscoveryLike>`
+  - `opts.server` / `opts.client` — Hyperswarm role flags (default true).
+  - `opts.flushed` — wait for the DHT-flush handshake (default true).
+  - `opts.signal` — AbortSignal; pre-aborted ⇒ throws `DHT_LOOKUP_FAILED`.
+  - `opts.now` — injectable clock for tests; defaults to `performance.now`.
+- `leaveTopic(discovery) => Promise<void>` — destroy the handle;
+  failures are wrapped to `DHT_LOOKUP_FAILED`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The function deliberately does not retry on its own — the caller (the
+transport's `start` method) composes `joinTopic` with
+`@suaveplan/retry`'s exponential-backoff policy when desired. This
+keeps the discovery module ~30 lines and individually verifiable; the
+retry policy stays a separate concern with its own tests.

+# errors
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+Frozen registry of every error code raised at the `@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm` boundary. Every public throw path on the package goes through `NetHyperswarmError`; downstream callers branch on `error.code` rather than parsing messages, which is what `@suaveplan/error` was designed to enable.
+
+The code names are stable contracts. Once shipped to consumers, deletion or rename requires an spec change and a migration window — same rule as every other package in the project.
+
+## Features
+
+- 10 codes covering every public-surface failure class.
+- Uses `defineCodes("NET_HYPERSWARM", [...])` so the prefix is enforced.
+- `NetHyperswarmError extends SuaveplanError<NetHyperswarmErrorCode>` — full cause chaining, structured logging, OTel span-event support.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    NET_HYPERSWARM_CODES,
+    NetHyperswarmError,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+throw new NetHyperswarmError(
+    NET_HYPERSWARM_CODES.INVALID_TOPIC,
+    "hyperswarm.invalid-topic"
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+try {
+    await transport.connect(peerId, "");
+} catch (err) {
+    if (err instanceof NetHyperswarmError) {
+        switch (err.code) {
+            case NET_HYPERSWARM_CODES.PEER_ALREADY_CONNECTED:
+                return; // idempotent
+            case NET_HYPERSWARM_CODES.DHT_LOOKUP_FAILED:
+                // backoff + retry
+                break;
+            default:
+                throw err;
+        }
+    } else {
+        throw err;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `NET_HYPERSWARM_CODES` — frozen object literal: `DHT_LOOKUP_FAILED`, `PEER_REJECTED`, `STREAM_FAILED`, `INVALID_TOPIC`, `INVALID_OPTIONS`, `DISPOSED`, `NOT_RUNNING`, `PEER_ALREADY_CONNECTED`, `PEER_UNKNOWN`, `TRANSPORT_CLOSED`.
+- `NetHyperswarmErrorCode` — union of the values of the above.
+- `NetHyperswarmError` — subclass of `SuaveplanError`. Constructor signature: `(code, messageKey, options?)` where `messageKey` is an i18n key and `options` may carry `cause`, `context`, etc.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Every external dependency of this package can throw — the DHT, the duplex stream, the libsodium-based Noise transport — and every one of those raw errors gets wrapped at our boundary into a `NetHyperswarmError` with a `cause` set. Callers see one type, not five. The 10 codes were chosen to mirror the parity-checklist row in the OpenSpec proposal verbatim plus the four lifecycle codes that every other transport in the family raises (`DISPOSED`, `NOT_RUNNING`, `PEER_ALREADY_CONNECTED`, `PEER_UNKNOWN`).

+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->

+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+Pure-function wire-format codec for Hyperswarm peer streams. Hyperswarm
+delivers a Noise-encrypted duplex socket — we layer a self-delimiting
+length-prefix framing on top so a single TCP segment can carry one or
+many envelopes and a single envelope can span many TCP segments.
+
+The encoding goes through `@suaveplan/serialize`'s MessagePack binary
+codec (`encodeBinary`/`decodeBinary`) so we round-trip every type the
+network bus needs (`Date`, `Map`, `Set`, `Uint8Array`, BigInt) without a
+JSON-tagged-string detour.
+
+## Features
+
+- `[length:4 BE][msgpack-payload:length]` frame layout.
+- Stateful `FrameDecoder` that handles partial reads safely.
+- Maximum-frame-size guard maps oversize payloads to `STREAM_FAILED` so
+  a remote peer cannot pin our memory by sending a 4 GiB length-prefix.
+- Topic preparation: 32-byte buffer pass-through, SHA-256 hash by
+  default, HMAC-SHA256 when `topicSecret` is set.
+- `peerKeyHex` helper renders a noise public key as the canonical
+  `PeerId` string this package emits on `onPeerEvent`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    encodeFrame,
+    FrameDecoder,
+    prepareTopic,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+const topic = prepareTopic("my-room");
+const frame = encodeFrame({ id: "x", type: "ping", payload: {} } as never);
+const decoder = new FrameDecoder();
+const envelopes = decoder.push(frame); // [{ id: 'x', type: 'ping', payload: {} }]
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const decoder = new FrameDecoder(64 * 1024); // 64 KiB cap
+
+socket.on("data", (chunk) => {
+    try {
+        for (const envelope of decoder.push(chunk)) {
+            bus.publish(envelope);
+        }
+    } catch (err) {
+        // STREAM_FAILED — frame too large or malformed; close socket
+        socket.destroy();
+    }
+});
+
+socket.on("close", () => decoder.reset());
+
+const hashedTopic = prepareTopic("my-room", "shared-secret-for-hmac");
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `prepareTopic(topic, secret?) => Uint8Array` — accepts a 32-byte
+  `Uint8Array` (pass-through) or a non-empty string. Empty strings and
+  wrong-length buffers raise `INVALID_TOPIC`.
+- `encodeFrame(envelope) => Uint8Array` — encodes an envelope into a
+  length-prefixed frame ready to write to the socket.
+- `FrameDecoder` — stateful: hold partial reads, emit complete envelopes
+  in order. Constructor accepts an optional `maxFrameSize` (defaults to
+  `DEFAULT_MAX_FRAME_SIZE` = 1 MiB).
+  - `push(chunk) => MessageEnvelope[]` — append bytes, return ready
+    envelopes. Throws `STREAM_FAILED` for oversize or malformed frames.
+  - `reset()` — drop any partial frame; call on socket close.
+  - `bufferedBytes` — partial-frame count, useful for backpressure.
+- `peerKeyHex(publicKey) => string` — lowercase hex render of a noise
+  public key.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The maximum-frame-size guard is the most important safety property in
+this module — without it, a malicious peer could send a 4-byte length
+prefix of `0xffffffff` and force us to allocate 4 GiB. We check the
+declared length _before_ waiting for the payload, so the slab is never
+sized off untrusted bytes.
+
+Topic hashing uses Node's built-in `crypto` rather than reaching into
+`@suaveplan/crypto-hash` because this package is server-tier only and
+the Node primitive is constant-time and FIPS-compliant on managed
+runtimes that consumers may already audit separately.

+## Purpose
+
+Centralised OpenTelemetry surface for `@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm`. Every metric this package emits is created exactly once here and exposed as a focused, side-effect-free record function so the rest of the codebase never calls `meter.createCounter(...)` directly. This both eliminates duplicate-instrument noise and provides a single grep target when reviewers want to know what observability we ship.
+
+## Features
+
+- Counters: `hyperswarm.connections_opened_total{outcome}`, `hyperswarm.bytes_total{direction}`, `hyperswarm.peer_rejects_total{reason}`.
+- Histograms: `hyperswarm.dht_lookup_ms`, `hyperswarm.dial_ms`.
+- Gauge: `hyperswarm.active_peers` (UpDownCounter delta-form).
+- `withHyperswarmSpan(name, fn)` helper threading a tracer span around any async block.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    recordBytes,
+    recordConnectionOutcome,
+    withHyperswarmSpan,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm/otel";
+
+await withHyperswarmSpan("hyperswarm.connect", async () => {
+    /* ... */
+    recordConnectionOutcome("ok");
+    recordBytes("out", 128);
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    adjustActivePeers,
+    recordDhtLookup,
+    recordDial,
+    recordPeerReject,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm/otel";
+
+const start = performance.now();
+try {
+    await swarm.join(topic).flushed();
+    recordDhtLookup(performance.now() - start);
+} catch {
+    recordPeerReject("dht-flush-failed");
+}
+
+adjustActivePeers(+1); // on connection-open
+recordDial(performance.now() - dialStart);
+adjustActivePeers(-1); // on socket-close
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `withHyperswarmSpan(name, fn)` — wraps `fn` in a tracer span; `span.end()` runs in a `finally` block so exceptions still terminate the span.
+- `recordConnectionOutcome(outcome)` — increment connection counter; canonical outcomes: `"ok"`, `"error"`, `"rejected"`.
+- `recordBytes(direction, count)` — increment byte counter; negative or zero counts are dropped to keep the meter histograms clean.
+- `recordDhtLookup(ms)` / `recordDial(ms)` — clamp non-negative then record.
+- `adjustActivePeers(delta)` — ±1 typically.
+- `recordPeerReject(reason)` — categorical bucket: `"firewall"`, `"bad-signature"`, `"banned"`, etc.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The gauge is implemented as an `UpDownCounter` because we never need a query-time observable; the transport always knows the delta. This keeps the cost of incrementing/decrementing it O(1) on the hot connection path. The histograms record raw milliseconds, not seconds — matches what every other package emits so dashboards stay aligned.

+# plugin

+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+`HyperswarmPlugin` is the canonical `NetworkPlugin` wrapper that lets a
+`NetworkNode` host the Hyperswarm transport without knowing anything
+Hyperswarm-specific. It exactly mirrors the
+`StandbyPlugin` / `WebRTCPlugin` / `WebSocketPlugin` shape so the
+`network-plugin-transport-manager` treats every transport identically.
+
+## Features
+
+- Strict lifecycle (install → start → stop → dispose).
+- Owns a single `HyperswarmTransport`; the transport is the
+  publicly-readable `plugin.transport` field for callers that need to
+  drop down to the lower layer (e.g. dashboards reading the reputation
+  store directly).
+- Idempotent `dispose()` — safe to call twice during shutdown plumbing.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { HyperswarmPlugin } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+const plugin = new HyperswarmPlugin({
+    topic: "my-room",
+    hyperswarmFactory: createRealHyperswarmFactory(),
+});
+const node = new NetworkNode({ id: "node-1" });
+plugin.install(node);
+await plugin.start();
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const node = new NetworkNode({ id: "node-1" });
+const plugin = new HyperswarmPlugin({
+    topic: new Uint8Array(32),
+    maxPeers: 32,
+    hyperswarmFactory: createRealHyperswarmFactory({ keyPair }),
+    reputation: { banThreshold: 25 },
+});
+
+plugin.install(node);
+await plugin.start();
+
+try {
+    /* ... run application ... */
+} finally {
+    await plugin.stop();
+    plugin.dispose();
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `new HyperswarmPlugin(config: HyperswarmConfig)` — constructs the
+  inner transport (Zod validation happens there).
+- `name: "hyperswarm"` — stable plugin id.
+- `transport: HyperswarmTransport` — read-only access to the inner
+  transport.
+- `install(node: NetworkNode)` — registers the transport on the node.
+- `start(): Promise<void>` — delegates to `transport.start`.
+- `stop(): Promise<void>` — closes the transport and unregisters.
+- `dispose(): void` — releases the node ref; idempotent.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The plugin holds the `NetworkNode` reference only between `install` and
+`dispose`; after `dispose` it is null so a forgotten reference does not
+keep the node alive in long-running processes. The plugin name is
+locked at `"hyperswarm"` so the `network-plugin-transport-manager`
+discovery key remains stable across consumers.
+
+The lifecycle order matters: `install` must run before `start` because
+`start` triggers the swarm join and we want the transport already
+registered with the node by then; `stop` must run before `dispose`
+because `stop` calls `unregisterTransport` on the node reference, and
+`dispose` nulls that reference. Re-ordering these is a contract
+violation and will surface as either a `DISPOSED` error from the
+underlying transport or a silently-leaked node reference.
+
+Plugin construction does not start the swarm — it only constructs the
+inner `HyperswarmTransport`. This keeps the constructor side-effect-free
+and lets callers wire `install` and `start` at the right point in their
+own initialisation flow without having to coordinate around an
+already-running DHT join.

+# reputation
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+Per-peer reputation bookkeeping with monotone scoring. Every message
+exchanged through the transport updates the remote's score; peers that
+drop below the configured `banThreshold` are reported as banned and the
+transport disconnects them. The scoring rules deliberately mirror the
+upstream `@suaveplan/network-hyperswarm` shape so operational dashboards
+continue to read the same numbers — only the implementation is
+rewritten with the modern DI conventions of this project.
+
+## Features
+
+- Default scoring: start at 50, +1 per success, -5 per failure, clamped
+  to `[minScore, maxScore]` (defaults 0–100).
+- Configurable `banThreshold` (default 10); first failure that drops
+  the score below the threshold latches `banned = true`.
+- Injectable clock for deterministic test fixtures.
+- Read-only snapshot API (`get`, `getScore`, `isBanned`, `peerKeys`)
+  plus per-peer `clear` for unit-test teardown.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { ReputationStore } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+const store = new ReputationStore();
+store.record("peer-a", true); // 50 -> 51
+store.record("peer-a", false); // 51 -> 46
+store.isBanned("peer-a"); // false
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const store = new ReputationStore(
+    { maxScore: 100, minScore: 0, banThreshold: 25 },
+    () => fakeNow.value
+);
+
+for (let i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
+    fakeNow.value += 1_000;
+    store.record("peer-b", false); // five failures take score from 50 to 25, sixth latches banned
+}
+
+const rep = store.get("peer-b");
+// rep.banned === true; rep.score === 20; rep.failures === 6
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `new ReputationStore(opts?, clock?)` — `opts` may set `maxScore`,
+  `minScore`, `banThreshold`; `clock` defaults to `Date.now`.
+- `record(peerKey, success) => PeerReputation` — update and return the
+  post-update entry.
+- `getScore(peerKey) => number` — returns the neutral start if unseen.
+- `isBanned(peerKey) => boolean`.
+- `get(peerKey) => PeerReputation | undefined` — defensive shallow
+  clone; mutating the result does not affect the store.
+- `clear(peerKey) => void` — drop the entry.
+- `peerKeys() => readonly string[]` — snapshot of tracked peers.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The `banned` flag is sticky — once flipped, only an explicit `clear()`
+brings the peer back. This matches the upstream behaviour and is the
+property the `@suaveplan/feature-flags` Composite-strategy hook
+exercises in its monotonicity property test. The injectable clock is
+the same `() => number` shape used elsewhere in the project
+(`@suaveplan/timing`, `@suaveplan/idempotency`) so test setup is
+boilerplate-free.

+# security
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+Inbound-peer validation gate for Hyperswarm. The upstream package's
+DHT-security manager merely logged warnings on malformed peer announces
+— this rewrite tightens the contract: every inbound peer goes through a
+Zod boundary, every rejection emits a structured `PEER_REJECTED` error,
+and every denial reason increments the
+`hyperswarm.peer_rejects_total{reason}` counter so dashboards can
+distinguish a malformed handshake from a firewall hit from a banned
+peer.
+
+## Features
+
+- Zod-validated `HyperswarmPeerInfo` (publicKey must be `Uint8Array`).
+- Optional 32-byte exact-length check (on by default).
+- Optional caller-supplied `firewall(publicKey)` predicate.
+- Categorical reject reasons: `malformed`, `bad-key-length`, `firewall`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { validatePeer } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+swarm.on("connection", (socket, peerInfo) => {
+    try {
+        validatePeer(peerInfo);
+    } catch {
+        socket.destroy();
+        return;
+    }
+    /* wire up reader/writer */
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const denylist = new Set<string>(/* hex public keys */);
+
+swarm.on("connection", (socket, peerInfo) => {
+    try {
+        validatePeer(peerInfo, {
+            firewall: (pk) => !denylist.has(Buffer.from(pk).toString("hex")),
+            requireExactKeyLength: true,
+        });
+    } catch (err) {
+        // Structured NetHyperswarmError with code PEER_REJECTED;
+        // counter already incremented, just destroy the socket.
+        socket.destroy();
+        return;
+    }
+});
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `validatePeer(peerInfo, opts?) => void` — throws
+  `NetHyperswarmError(PEER_REJECTED)` on any gate failure.
+  - `opts.firewall?: (publicKey) => boolean` — predicate; `false` ⇒ reject.
+  - `opts.requireExactKeyLength?: boolean` — default `true`; rejects
+    keys whose `byteLength !== 32`.
+- `DhtSecurityOptions` — the options shape above.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The boundary deliberately uses `Uint8Array` rather than `Buffer` —
+`Buffer` is a Node-only API, and even though this is a server-tier
+package we keep the type surface portable so the same fixture can be
+shared with a future browser-tier verifier (e.g. for relay-mode
+audits). The categorical counter labels are fixed; adding a new bucket
+requires editing the registry in `otel.ts` so reviewers can't
+accidentally inflate label cardinality.

+# transport
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+The `HyperswarmTransport` is the load-bearing implementation in this
+package. It composes a real or fake Hyperswarm instance via the
+injected `HyperswarmFactory`, joins a topic on the DHT, wires every
+inbound `connection` event into a `ConnectionRegistry`, validates every
+remote peer through the security gate, and exposes the canonical
+`Transport` shape from `@suaveplan/network`.
+
+Where the upstream package extended a `BaseTransport` class and
+broadcast plain `Message` payloads to all peers, this rewrite implements
+the modern `Transport` interface verbatim: `connect(peerId, address)`,
+`disconnect(peerId)`, `send(peerId, envelope)`, `onMessage`,
+`onPeerEvent`, `getConnectedPeers`, and `close`. The transport is
+single-topic and single-swarm by design — composing multiple topics is a
+caller concern.
+
+## Features
+
+- Zod boundary on the constructor; rejects with `INVALID_OPTIONS`.
+- Injectable factory pattern (no `vi.mock`); tests run against
+  `FakeHyperswarm`.
+- AbortSignal threaded through `start()` and `joinTopic`.
+- Per-peer `FrameDecoder` so partial reads are tracked independently.
+- Reputation hook: every `send()` records success/failure; banned peers
+  are force-disconnected on the next failure.
+- Inbound duplicate handling: a second `connection` event for the same
+  peer closes the older socket cleanly before installing the new one.
+- Idempotent `close()`; `start()` after `close()` raises `DISPOSED`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    HyperswarmTransport,
+    type HyperswarmFactory,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+const factory: HyperswarmFactory = createRealHyperswarmFactory(/* ... */);
+const transport = new HyperswarmTransport({
+    topic: "my-room",
+    hyperswarmFactory: factory,
+});
+await transport.start();
+transport.onMessage((peerId, envelope) =>
+    console.log(peerId, envelope.type)
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const transport = new HyperswarmTransport({
+    topic: new Uint8Array(32),
+    topicSecret: "shared-room-key",
+    maxPeers: 64,
+    server: true,
+    client: true,
+    socketTimeoutMs: 15_000,
+    maxFrameSize: 256 * 1024,
+    hyperswarmFactory: createRealHyperswarmFactory({ keyPair }),
+    firewall: (pk) => !banlist.has(Buffer.from(pk).toString("hex")),
+    reputation: { banThreshold: 25, maxScore: 100, minScore: 0 },
+});
+
+const controller = new AbortController();
+await transport.start(controller.signal);
+
+const unsubMsg = transport.onMessage(handleEnvelope);
+const unsubPeer = transport.onPeerEvent((peerId, event) =>
+    console.log(`peer ${peerId} ${event}`)
+);
+
+await transport.send(peerId, envelope);
+await transport.disconnect(peerId);
+
+await transport.close();
+unsubMsg();
+unsubPeer();
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `new HyperswarmTransport(config: HyperswarmConfig)` — see `types.md`.
+- `start(signal?) => Promise<void>` — initialise the swarm, join topic;
+  idempotent.
+- `connect(peerId, address) => Promise<void>` — Hyperswarm is a
+  discovery transport so `connect` does not dial; it succeeds only if
+  the peer is already attached via the DHT. Otherwise raises
+  `PEER_UNKNOWN`.
+- `disconnect(peerId)` / `send(peerId, envelope)` / `onMessage(handler)`
+  / `onPeerEvent(handler)` / `getConnectedPeers()` / `close()` — match
+  the `@suaveplan/network` contract.
+- `topic` getter — the 32-byte topic buffer.
+- `reputation` getter — the `ReputationStore` for inspection.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The `connect(peerId, address)` semantics are deliberately
+narrow-and-honest: Hyperswarm does not let you "dial" an arbitrary peer
+out of band — the DHT _is_ the dial layer, and once a peer is attached
+via `connection`, the only operation a caller can perform is `send`.
+The transport surface accepts the `connect` call so the
+`network-plugin-transport-manager` treats every transport uniformly,
+but the implementation refuses to fabricate a connection. This is the
+right contract because callers that already have the peer attached can
+call `connect` idempotently, and callers that don't get a clear
+`PEER_UNKNOWN` error rather than a silent stall.
+
+The duplicate-inbound-connection branch is necessary because Hyperswarm
+sometimes opens a second connection during topology updates; closing
+the old socket first ensures the registry invariant
+(`single-entry-per-peer`) is preserved and that no zombie `data`
+listener stays wired to the obsolete socket.

+# types
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+Type-only contracts for `@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm`. The
+package keeps every Hyperswarm-shaped type behind structural interfaces
+so the production code never reaches into `hyperswarm`'s internals and
+tests can swap in a deterministic in-memory swarm via the
+`HyperswarmFactory` injection point.
+
+This module is the single source of truth for the public configuration
+shape (`HyperswarmConfig`), the dependency-injected factory signature
+(`HyperswarmFactory`), the structural socket/discovery/instance views
+the transport operates against (`HyperswarmSocketLike`,
+`HyperswarmDiscoveryLike`, `HyperswarmInstanceLike`), and the handler
+signatures used by `Transport.onMessage` / `Transport.onPeerEvent`.
+
+## Features
+
+- Structural typing — zero runtime coupling to the `hyperswarm` package.
+- Single `HyperswarmConfig` boundary; every other module accepts the
+  pre-validated shape.
+- Injectable `HyperswarmFactory` for test seams.
+- Discriminated `WireFrame` envelope so the messaging layer has one
+  canonical inbound shape.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import type { HyperswarmConfig } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+const config: HyperswarmConfig = {
+    topic: "my-topic",
+    server: true,
+    client: true,
+};
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    HyperswarmConfig,
+    HyperswarmFactory,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-hyperswarm";
+
+const factory: HyperswarmFactory = () =>
+    /* tests can wire a deterministic in-memory swarm here */ ({}) as never;
+
+const advanced: HyperswarmConfig = {
+    topic: new Uint8Array(32),
+    maxPeers: 64,
+    socketTimeoutMs: 15_000,
+    maxFrameSize: 2 ** 20,
+    hyperswarmFactory: factory,
+    firewall: (pk) => pk[0] !== 0x00,
+    reputation: { banThreshold: 10, maxScore: 100, minScore: 0 },
+};
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `HyperswarmConfig` — see fields above; every field except `topic` is
+  optional and has a documented default in `transport.ts`.
+- `HyperswarmFactory` — `(opts?) => HyperswarmInstanceLike`.
+- `HyperswarmInstanceLike` / `HyperswarmDiscoveryLike` / `HyperswarmSocketLike`
+  / `HyperswarmPeerInfo` — structural views; only the listed members are
+  consumed.
+- `MessageHandler` / `PeerEventHandler` — match `Transport` from
+  `@suaveplan/network`.
+- `WireFrame` — shape returned by `decodeFrame`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The factory injection deliberately follows the same pattern as
+`@suaveplan/network-transport-standby` so consumers and reviewers
+recognise the contract. Keeping the structural views narrow makes the
+fake swarm trivial to author (it only has to implement what we use, not
+what `hyperswarm` exposes) while still letting the real package satisfy
+the same interface at runtime.
