pipe-io 1.0.0

Typed source-transform-sink pipelines with backpressure, batching, windowing, and per-stage error isolation. A lightweight runtime-agnostic stream processor for in-process workloads. The missing middle ground between raw iterators and full distributed stream processing.

//! The [`Stage`] trait.
//!
//! Stages receive items one at a time and emit zero or more outputs via
//! an [`Emit`] handle. The closure-based adapters (`map`, `filter`, ...)
//! are exposed as methods on [`crate::PipelineBuilder`].

/// batching/windowing emit 0+ per input and additionally use
