## The Quill Philosophy
-QuillPHP is a **binary-native** API framework engineered for extreme low-latency environments. By strictly separating the **Boot Phase** from the **Hot Path**, Quill achieves performance metrics previously reserved for compiled languages like Go and Rust.
+QuillPHP is a **binary-native** API framework built for extreme low-latency environments. The key insight is simple: **PHP never touches a socket.**
-### Performance at Scale
+The native **Quill Core** (Rust + Axum + Tokio) owns the entire I/O stack β TCP connections, route matching, DTO validation, and response serialisation. PHP is woken up only to run your handler, then goes back to polling. By strictly separating a one-time **Boot Phase** from a zero-overhead **Hot Path**, Quill reaches throughput that rivals compiled languages without leaving PHP.

Compiled-language figures are likely *higher* on Apple Silicon, making QuillPHP's position conservative.

+> Β² **Direct measurement** β `wrk -t4 -c100 -d10s`, `QUILL_WORKERS=4`, Apple M-series. PHP never touches the socket; Axum/Tokio owns all I/O.

+>
+> β΄ **Laravel Octane** β Bare `Route::get('/hello', fn() => [...])` with no sessions, DB, or auth middleware. A default `laravel new` skeleton measures ~354 req/s on the same runner.

## Feature Highlights
-- **Native Rust Core** β Integrated FFI acceleration using `matchit` (radix trie) and `sonic-rs` (SIMD JSON).
-- **Binary-Native** β Served directly by the **Quill Binary Server**, bypassing traditional SAPIs like FPM or Apache.
-- **Zero-Reflection Dispatch** β Metadata is pre-mapped during the boot phase for O(1) request routing.
-- **Unified Middleware** β Robust pipeline for CORS, Rate Limiting, and Security Headers.
-- **DTO Validation** β Type-safe, attribute-driven request validation with zero runtime overhead.
-- **OpenAPI 3.0** β Automatic Swagger UI generation directly from your code.
+- **Axum / Tokio HTTP Server** β All TCP I/O runs inside a dedicated single-threaded Tokio runtime per worker, fully bypassing PHP's process model.
+- **matchit Radix Trie Router** β Routes are compiled into a native radix trie at boot; every request dispatches in O(log n) with zero PHP involvement.
+- **Zero-Reflection Hot Path** β Handler parameter maps are built once at boot via reflection and cached; the hot path does a single array lookup per argument.
+- **Native DTO Validation** β Schema checks run inside the Rust `ValidatorRegistry` before PHP is polled β invalid requests are rejected with a 400 without touching userland.
+- **Multi-Worker via `pcntl_fork`** β The TCP port is pre-bound once, then forked N times. Each worker owns an independent Rust heap with no shared state.
+- **sonic-rs SIMD JSON** β JSON compaction and encoding accelerated by `sonic-rs` across the FFI boundary.
+- **OpenAPI 3.0** β Automatic Swagger UI generation directly from your route and DTO definitions.
+

+
+## Architecture
+
+Quill enforces a hard boundary between the **Boot Phase** (reflection, compilation, registration) and the **Hot Path** (pure dispatch). The native core owns all I/O; PHP only runs your business logic.
+
+### Multi-Worker Model
+
+Routes are compiled into a native manifest and the TCP port is pre-bound **before** `pcntl_fork`. Each worker independently re-initialises its Rust heap so there is zero shared state across processes.
