/**
* NATSBridge.js - Bi-Directional Data Bridge for JavaScript
* Implements smartsend and smartreceive for NATS communication
*
* This module provides functionality for sending and receiving data across network boundaries
* using NATS as the message bus, with support for both direct payload transport and
* URL-based transport for larger payloads.
*
* File Server Handler Architecture:
* The system uses handler functions to abstract file server operations, allowing support
* for different file server implementations (e.g., Plik, AWS S3, custom HTTP server).
*
* Handler Function Signatures:
*
* ```javascript
* // Upload handler - uploads data to file server and returns URL
* // The handler is passed to smartsend as fileserverUploadHandler parameter
* // It receives: (fileserver_url, dataname, data)
* // Returns: { status, uploadid, fileid, url }
* async function fileserverUploadHandler(fileserver_url, dataname, data) { ... }
*
* // Download handler - fetches data from file server URL with exponential backoff
* // The handler is passed to smartreceive as fileserverDownloadHandler parameter
* // It receives: (url, max_retries, base_delay, max_delay, correlation_id)
* // Returns: ArrayBuffer (the downloaded data)
* async function fileserverDownloadHandler(url, max_retries, base_delay, max_delay, correlation_id) { ... }
* ```
*
* Multi-Payload Support (Standard API):
* The system uses a standardized list-of-tuples format for all payload operations.
* Even when sending a single payload, the user must wrap it in a list.
*
* API Standard:
* ```javascript
* // Input format for smartsend (always a list of tuples with type info)
* [{ dataname, data, type }, ...]
*
* // Output format for smartreceive (always returns a list of tuples)
* [{ dataname, data, type }, ...]
* ```
*
* Supported types: "text", "dictionary", "table", "image", "audio", "video", "binary"
