+// const clients = [];
+
+//✅ STEP 4 — Handle disconnections (VERY important)
+/* ws.on("close", () => {
+        console.log("Client disconnected");
+
+        // remove this client from the array
+        const index = clients.indexOf(ws);
+        clients.splice(index, 1);
+    });
+✅ What this means (simple)
+
+ws.on("close") → runs when user leaves
+indexOf(ws) → find that user
+splice(...) → remove them
+
+✅ STEP 5 — Broadcast message to all clients
+Right now:
+
+You store messages ✅
+You track connected users ✅
+But you don’t send messages to them yet ❌
+✅ Goal of this step
+👉 When a new message is posted:
+
+Send it to every connected client instantly
+clients.forEach((client) => {
+    client.send(JSON.stringify({
+        name,
+        message
+    }));
+});
+``
+JSON.stringify → convert object → text (required)
+WebSockets only send strings, not objects
