 # @stainless-code/persist
 
-Hydration-aware persistence middleware for any reactive store — storage × codec seams, TanStack Store adapters, and a React hydration hook. Store-agnostic via a structural `PersistableSource`; every "can it do X?" is a one-line composition instead of a feature request.
+**Any store, any storage, one middleware — no flash.**
+
+Hydration-aware persistence for any reactive store — no hydrate flash, no SSR mismatch. Store-agnostic via a structural `PersistableSource` (TanStack Store, zustand, jotai, valtio, mobx, or a hand-rolled atom); three composable seams (backend × codec × source) so you swap storage, serialization, or framework without rewriting. A first-class hydration signal gates UI on async backends; opt-in cross-tab sync, versioned migrations, encrypted/compressed backends, and retry-on-quota. Framework adapters for React, Solid, Vue, Svelte, Angular, and Preact.
