Shared peer-to-peer switch core behind the bare example apps (bare-macos, bare-ios)
The shared peer-to-peer switch core behind the bare-macos / bare-ios example shells. It is the "core" in the Tether-stack sense: the worklet (backend.js + lib/switch.js), the protocol (schema.js), and the committed generated bindings under spec/ (JS for the worklet, Swift for the shells).
Shells consume this package; they run no codegen. Edit schema.js, run npm run schema, commit the regenerated spec/.
The switch is deliberately last-writer-wins with no conflict resolution. The divergence that causes is a teaching point (it motivates Autobase), not a bug.
npm install
npm run schema # regenerate spec/ (JS + Swift)
npm test # switch logic on Bare
npm run lint
