Expand description

The well-known header key for per-message routing / partitioning.

The partition key controls key-based fan-out when the runtime is configured with workers(N, by_key). The value is opaque bytes; the runtime hashes it to assign a dispatch lane. Redis has no native partition concept, so the key travels as this header value on all three transports.

A publish sets it with the partition_key step, which resolves into this header. Writing the header at the call site still works, and is the spelling that carries across brokers.
