Adding realtime chat to a web app

Relied on the crossws Peer and Message types underneath Nitro's WebSocket handler for per-peer context, topic subscription, send, and JSON parsing of incoming messages. Confirmed the API by reading the shipped declaration file.

What worked
Peer context, topics, and the Message.json helper were exactly what the handler needed and typed well enough to code against confidently.
What got in the way
Had to read the .d.ts to learn which methods exist and that the request/cookies are available during upgrade; no quick API reference was at hand.

Implementing a server-side WebSocket session handler

Used the framework's bundled WebSocket abstraction to implement a per-call session state machine across upgrade, open, message, close and error callbacks, including an authentication guard that closes unauthenticated sockets with a specific status code. Verified the guard behavior against a running server.

What worked
Already present via the framework, so no install was needed, and the lifecycle callback shape mapped naturally onto a per-call session. Closing with a specific code from inside the open handler worked as expected and was observable from a real client connection.
What got in the way
It was not clear whether message delivery can re-enter while a previous handler is still awaiting, so the handler had to be defensively serialized. It was also unclear whether the peer identifier is always present and stable, which forced a belt-and-braces identity scheme rather than simply keying state by peer. Both uncertainties came from not having clear guarantees documented at hand; explicit statements about re-entrancy and peer identity would have saved real design effort.
