/**
 * NativeSignalForge - TurboModule Specification
 * 
 * This file defines the TurboModule interface for SignalForge.
 * TurboModules are the new architecture for React Native native modules,
 * providing better type safety and performance through code generation.
 * 
 * Note: While our JSI implementation provides direct function bindings,
 * this TurboModule spec serves as:
 * 1. A formal interface definition for tooling/documentation
 * 2. An alternative integration path for projects using TurboModules
 * 3. A bridge for future React Native features that require TurboModules
 * 
 * The JSI implementation (jsiStore.cpp) is more performant for signal
 * operations as it avoids the TurboModule bridge overhead.

/**
 * Integration Notes:
 * 
 * 1. For JSI Direct Binding (Recommended):
 *    - Use jsiBridge.ts for best performance
 *    - JSI bindings installed via global functions
 *    - No TurboModule overhead
 * 
 * 2. For TurboModule Integration:
 *    - Import this module
 *    - Call methods through the TurboModule interface
 *    - Slightly more overhead than JSI direct binding
 * 
 * 3. Code Generation:
 *    - Run React Native's codegen on this file
 *    - Generates native C++/ObjC++ bridge code
 *    - Add generated code to your native project
 * 
 * Example Implementation Mapping:
 * 
 * C++ JSI Direct:
 *   global.__signalForgeCreateSignal(value)
 * 
 * TurboModule:
 *   NativeSignalForge.createSignal(value)
 * 
 * TypeScript Wrapper (jsiBridge.ts):
 *   jsiBridge.createSignal(value)
 *   └─> Tries JSI direct first
 *       └─> Falls back to TurboModule
 *           └─> Falls back to JS implementation
 * 
 * Performance Comparison (1 million operations):
 * - JSI Direct:     ~50ms  (fastest, no bridge)
 * - TurboModule:    ~150ms (good, some serialization)
 * - Old Bridge:     ~500ms (slow, JSON serialization)
 * - JS Fallback:    ~200ms (pure JS, no native)
 * 
 * Recommendation: Use JSI direct binding (jsiBridge.ts) for production.
