## Executive Summary

Transform the CQRS framework into a complete enterprise event streaming platform that supports:
- **Workflows**: Business process correlation and event emission
- **Multiple Consumer Patterns**: Broadcast, exclusive, consumer groups, read receipts
- **Storage Models**: Ephemeral (message queue) and persistent (event sourcing)
- **Delivery Semantics**: At-most-once, at-least-once, exactly-once
- **Cross-Service Communication**: RabbitMQ, Kafka integration with zero developer friction
- **Schema Evolution**: Event versioning with automatic upcasting
- **Event Replay**: Time-travel queries for persistent streams

**Design Philosophy**: Simple by default, powerful when needed. Progressive complexity.

## Core Enumerations

### StreamType
- `Ephemeral`: Message queue semantics (events deleted after consumption)
- `Persistent`: Event log semantics (events retained for replay)

### DeliverySemantics
- `AtMostOnce`: Fire and forget (fast, might lose messages)
- `AtLeastOnce`: Retry until ack (might see duplicates)
- `ExactlyOnce`: Deduplication (slower, no duplicates)

### SubscriptionMode
- `Broadcast`: All consumers get all events (pub/sub)
- `Exclusive`: Only one consumer gets each event (queue)
- `ConsumerGroup`: Load-balanced across group members (Kafka-style)
- `ReadReceipt`: Requires explicit "user saw this" confirmation

### StreamScope
- `Internal`: Same service only (default)
- `CrossService`: Available to external services via message broker

        {
            UserId = v1.UserId,
            FirstName = names[0],
            LastName = names.Length > 1 ? names[1] : "",
            Email = $"user{v1.UserId}@unknown.com"
        };
    }
}

// Configuration
streaming.UseSchemaRegistry(registry =>
{
    registry.Register<UserAddedEventV1>(version: 1);
    registry.Register<UserAddedEventV2>(version: 2, upcastFrom: typeof(UserAddedEventV1));
});

// Consumer always receives V2 (framework auto-upcasts V1 → V2)
streaming.AddSubscription("analytics", subscription =>
{
    subscription.ToStream<UserWorkflow>();
    subscription.ReceiveAs<UserAddedEventV2>();
});
```

## Design Decisions & Rationale

### Why Workflows Over Events?
**Decision**: Make workflows the primary abstraction, not events.

**Rationale**:
- Workflows represent business processes (how developers think)
- Events are implementation details of workflows
- Clearer intent: "This command participates in an invitation workflow"
- Solves correlation problem elegantly (workflow ID = correlation ID)

### Why Support Both Ephemeral & Persistent?
**Decision**: Support both message queue (ephemeral) and event sourcing (persistent) patterns.

**Rationale**:
- Different use cases have different needs
- Ephemeral: Simple notifications, no need for history
- Persistent: Audit logs, analytics, replay capability
- Developer chooses based on requirements
- Same API for both (progressive complexity)

### Why Exactly-Once Opt-In?
**Decision**: Make exactly-once delivery optional, default to at-least-once.

**Rationale**:
- Exactly-once has performance cost (deduplication, locking)
- Most scenarios can handle duplicates (idempotent handlers)
- Developer opts in when critical (financial transactions)
- Simpler default behavior

### Why Cross-Service Opt-In?
**Decision**: Streams are internal by default, external requires explicit configuration.

**Rationale**:
- Security: Don't expose events externally by accident
- Performance: Internal delivery (gRPC) is faster
- Simplicity: Most services don't need cross-service events
- Developer explicitly chooses when needed

### Why Schema Evolution?
**Decision**: Support event versioning from the start.

**Rationale**:
- Events are long-lived (years in persistent streams)
- Schema changes are inevitable
- Breaking changes hurt (can't deserialize old events)
- Automatic upcasting prevents data loss
- Essential for persistent streams with replay

## Risk Mitigation

### Risk: Breaking Existing Features
**Mitigation**:
- Keep `AddCommandWithEvents` for backward compatibility
- Run full test suite after each phase
- Feature flags for new functionality

### Risk: Performance Issues
**Mitigation**:
- Start with in-memory (fast)
- Benchmark at each phase
- Add performance tests before Phase 6
- Use profiling tools

### Risk: Complexity Overload
**Mitigation**:
- Progressive disclosure (simple by default)
- Each phase is independently useful
- Clear documentation at each level
- Sample projects for each complexity level

### Risk: Database Schema Changes
**Mitigation**:
- Use migrations from Phase 2 onward
- Backward-compatible schema changes
- Test migration paths

### Risk: External Dependencies (RabbitMQ, etc.)
**Mitigation**:
- Make external delivery optional
- Provide in-memory fallback
- Docker Compose for development
- Clear setup documentation

---

## Development Guidelines

### Coding Standards
- Use C# 14 features (field keyword, extension members)
