This PR adds an idiomatic, model-bound constraints experience for Elixir, aligned with the existing attribute-driven APIs (like read model projections). Event constraints can now be declared directly on event modules and are discovered/registered automatically during client startup.

It also extends the Elixir client toward broader TypeScript parity by adding process-scoped correlation, identity, and causation context support for event appends, plus event-sequence and event-store discovery APIs.

  • Event-type constraint DSL (attribute-first)

    • Extended Chronicle.EventType to expose constraint metadata via __chronicle_event_type__(:constraints).
    • Added support for constraint declarations on event modules:
      • @unique / unique(...) for unique-property constraints
      • @remove_constraint / remove_constraint(...) for release/removal events
      • unique_event_type(...) macro support in the event-type DSL surface
  • Constraint derivation from event metadata

    • Added Chronicle.Constraints.from_event_types/1 to build constraint definitions from event module declarations.
    • Supports:
      • default and explicit constraint names
      • grouped unique constraints across event types by name
      • mapping removal events to matching constraint names
      • unique event-type constraints (:unique_event_type) derived from event metadata
  • Automatic registration in startup flow

    • Integrated constraint registration into Chronicle.Projections.Registrar so constraints derived from discovered event types are registered as part of normal client bootstrapping.
  • Correlation, identity, and causation context (TypeScript parity slice)

    • Added new context modules:
      • Chronicle.CorrelationId
      • Chronicle.CorrelationIdManager
      • Chronicle.Identity
      • Chronicle.IdentityProvider
      • Chronicle.CausationType
      • Chronicle.CausationEntry
      • Chronicle.CausationManager
    • Integrated Chronicle.EventLog.append/3 to include:
      • process-scoped correlation id
      • process-scoped identity
      • process-scoped causation chain
    • Added append overrides via options:
      • :correlation_id
      • :identity
      • :causation
    • Added convenience functions on Chronicle for reading/setting/clearing correlation and identity context.
  • Event sequence + event store parity additions

    • Added Chronicle.EventStores for kernel discovery APIs:
      • Chronicle.get_event_stores/1
      • Chronicle.get_namespaces/1
    • Extended Chronicle.EventLog with event-sequence capabilities:
      • :event_sequence_id option support for append/query operations
      • Chronicle.get_tail_sequence_number/2
      • Chronicle.has_events_for?/2
    • Exposed the new APIs through Chronicle top-level delegates.
  • Tests, docs, and sample updates

    • Added focused tests for:
      • event-type constraint metadata exposure
      • conversion of event declarations to constraint definitions
      • unique_event_type constraint derivation
      • correlation id creation/manager behavior
      • identity/provider behavior and duplicate-chain handling
      • causation manager root/chain behavior
    • Updated README with:
      • model-bound constraint usage, including unique_event_type
      • correlation/identity/causation usage and append override examples
      • event-store discovery (get_event_stores, get_namespaces)
      • event-sequence helpers (has_events_for?, get_tail_sequence_number) and :event_sequence_id usage
    • Updated the console sample to demonstrate:
      • a model-bound unique_event_type constraint on AccountOpened
      • process-scoped correlation, identity, and causation setup during append flow
      • event-sequence state checks and event-store/namespace discovery calls
    • Updated Samples/console/README.md to document the expanded sample capabilities.
defmodule MyApp.Events.UserRegistered do
  use Chronicle.EventType, id: "user-registered-v1"
  defstruct [:email, :tenant_id]

  unique [:email, :tenant_id], name: "email_per_tenant"
end

defmodule MyApp.Events.UserDeleted do
  use Chronicle.EventType, id: "user-deleted-v1"
  defstruct [:email]

  @remove_constraint "email_per_tenant"
end

Done. I merged origin/main and resolved the branch conflicts, then added TypeScript-parity follow-ups for constraints/docs/samples (including unique_event_type coverage in code/tests/docs/sample). Addressing commits: 819b487, c640b76, and 5ee8f5e.

@copilot When I said get up to speed - gain parity with the TypeScript support, I meant the entire client. Implement all the different things that we've already implemented for the TypeScript client - but do it in an idiomatic Elixir approach and follow the patterns already established - look through the Git history of the TypeScript client and get an idea of what's been done that is not already supported: https://github.com/cratis/chronicle.typescript

Add enough to the sample to work with this and also add documentation for it all.

Implemented the next major TypeScript-parity slice in an idiomatic Elixir way: process-scoped correlation, identity, and causation support integrated into Chronicle.EventLog.append/3, with new public APIs (Chronicle.CorrelationId*, Chronicle.Identity*, Chronicle.Causation*), sample usage updates, and expanded README/docs/tests. Addressing commit: 32f0bb7.

@copilot Not even close - Look at the TypeScript version and all the folders it has: https://github.com/Cratis/Chronicle.TypeScript/tree/main/Source - backtrack the Git history for all of it and reach feature parity

Implemented another parity slice in 81776b3: added event-store discovery APIs (Chronicle.get_event_stores/1, Chronicle.get_namespaces/1 via new Chronicle.EventStores) and event-sequence capabilities on Chronicle.EventLog (:event_sequence_id support, get_tail_sequence_number/2, has_events_for?/2), plus updated README and console sample to demonstrate them.
