+// The TypeScript half of the QUIC realtime interop lane. Two modes:
+//
+// `dial` (Cut 4): a one-shot process that dials an advertised
+// `cultmesh-state+quic://` endpoint with the native connector, receives
+// `--expect` frames from a peer (normally the C# managed provider started by
+// `cultnet-interop.test.ts`'s "CultMesh QUIC realtime" test), and prints them
+// as one JSON line.
+//
+// `serve` (Cut 5): the StreamPixels role. Opens a `CultMeshQuicRealtimeProvider`
+// listener, prints `{status: "ready", endpoint}` (the same shape the C#
+// `quic-realtime-serve` peer prints), waits for a first peer before
+// broadcasting (mirroring `QuicRealtimeServeAsync`'s
+// `WaitForFirstConnectionAsync`, since a broadcast to nobody would otherwise
+// silently no-op), then broadcasts `--frames` frames at `--delivery` with
+// `--interval-ms` between them, watching stdin for EOF as its own shutdown
+// signal like the C# peer's `WatchStdinCloseAsync`.
+//
+// Neither mode imports `cultmesh-ts` itself (the harness drives processes,
+// and the dependency direction is `cultmesh-ts` -> `cultnet-ts`, never the
+// reverse); this script reaches the provider/connector through its own
+// package's `src/`.
