+# socktop_connector
+
+A WebSocket connector library for communicating with socktop agents.
+
+## Overview
+
+`socktop_connector` provides a high-level, type-safe interface for connecting to socktop agents over WebSocket connections. It handles connection management, TLS certificate pinning, compression, and protocol buffer decoding automatically.
+
+The library is designed for professional use with structured error handling that allows you to pattern match on specific error types, making it easy to implement robust error recovery and monitoring strategies.
+
+## Features
+
+- **WebSocket Communication**: Support for both `ws://` and `wss://` connections
+- **TLS Security**: Certificate pinning for secure connections with self-signed certificates
+- **Hostname Verification**: Configurable hostname verification for TLS connections
+- **Type Safety**: Strongly typed requests and responses
+- **Automatic Compression**: Handles gzip compression/decompression transparently
+- **Protocol Buffer Support**: Decodes binary process data automatically
+- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling with structured error types for pattern matching
+
+## Connection Types
+
+### Non-TLS Connections (`ws://`)
+Use `connect_to_socktop_agent()` for unencrypted WebSocket connections. 
+
+### TLS Connections (`wss://`) 
+Use `connect_to_socktop_agent_with_tls()` for encrypted connections with certificate pinning. You can control hostname verification with the `verify_hostname` parameter.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+socktop_connector = "0.1.5"
+tokio = { version = "1", features = ["rt", "rt-multi-thread", "net", "time", "macros"] }
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```rust
+use socktop_connector::{connect_to_socktop_agent, AgentRequest, AgentResponse};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Connect to a socktop agent (non-TLS connections are always unverified)
+    let mut connector = connect_to_socktop_agent("ws://localhost:3000/ws").await?;
+    
+    // Request metrics
+    match connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await? {
+        AgentResponse::Metrics(metrics) => {
+            println!("CPU: {}%, Memory: {}/{}MB", 
+                metrics.cpu_total,
+                metrics.mem_used / 1024 / 1024,
+                metrics.mem_total / 1024 / 1024
+            );
+        }
+        _ => unreachable!(),
+    }
+    
+    // Request process list
+    match connector.request(AgentRequest::Processes).await? {
+        AgentResponse::Processes(processes) => {
+            println!("Total processes: {}", processes.process_count);
+            for process in processes.top_processes.iter().take(5) {
+                println!("  {} (PID: {}) - CPU: {}%", 
+                    process.name, process.pid, process.cpu_usage);
+            }
+        }
+        _ => unreachable!(),
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling with Pattern Matching
+
+Take advantage of structured error types for robust error handling:
+
+```rust
+use socktop_connector::{connect_to_socktop_agent, ConnectorError, AgentRequest};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() {
+    // Handle connection errors specifically
+    let mut connector = match connect_to_socktop_agent("ws://localhost:3000/ws").await {
+        Ok(conn) => conn,
+        Err(ConnectorError::WebSocketError(e)) => {
+            eprintln!("Failed to connect to WebSocket: {}", e);
+            return;
+        }
+        Err(ConnectorError::UrlError(e)) => {
+            eprintln!("Invalid URL provided: {}", e);
+            return;
+        }
+        Err(e) => {
+            eprintln!("Connection failed: {}", e);
+            return;
+        }
+    };
+    
+    // Handle request errors specifically  
+    match connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await {
+        Ok(response) => println!("Success: {:?}", response),
+        Err(ConnectorError::JsonError(e)) => {
+            eprintln!("Failed to parse server response: {}", e);
+        }
+        Err(ConnectorError::WebSocketError(e)) => {
+            eprintln!("Communication error: {}", e);
+        }
+        Err(e) => eprintln!("Request failed: {}", e),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### TLS with Certificate Pinning
+
+```rust
+use socktop_connector::{connect_to_socktop_agent_with_tls, AgentRequest};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Connect with TLS certificate pinning and hostname verification
+    let mut connector = connect_to_socktop_agent_with_tls(
+        "wss://remote-host:8443/ws",
+        "/path/to/cert.pem",
+        false  // Enable hostname verification
+    ).await?;
+    
+    let response = connector.request(AgentRequest::Disks).await?;
+    println!("Got disk info: {:?}", response);
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+
+```rust
+use socktop_connector::{ConnectorConfig, SocktopConnector, AgentRequest};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Create a custom configuration
+    let config = ConnectorConfig::new("wss://remote-host:8443/ws")
+        .with_tls_ca("/path/to/cert.pem")
+        .with_hostname_verification(false);
+    
+    // Create and connect
+    let mut connector = SocktopConnector::new(config);
+    connector.connect().await?;
+    
+    // Make requests
+    let response = connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await?;
+    
+    // Clean disconnect
+    connector.disconnect().await?;
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### WebSocket Protocol Configuration
+
+For version compatibility (if applies), you can configure WebSocket protocol version and sub-protocols:
+
+```rust
+use socktop_connector::{ConnectorConfig, SocktopConnector, connect_to_socktop_agent_with_config};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Method 1: Using the convenience function
+    let connector = connect_to_socktop_agent_with_config(
+        "ws://localhost:3000/ws",
+        Some(vec!["socktop".to_string(), "v1".to_string()]), // Sub-protocols
+        Some("13".to_string()), // WebSocket version (13 is standard)
+    ).await?;
+    
+    // Method 2: Using ConnectorConfig builder
+    let config = ConnectorConfig::new("ws://localhost:3000/ws")
+        .with_protocols(vec!["socktop".to_string()])
+        .with_version("13");
+    
+    let mut connector = SocktopConnector::new(config);
+    connector.connect().await?;
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** WebSocket version 13 is the current standard and is used by default. The sub-protocols feature is useful for protocol negotiation with servers that support multiple protocols.
+
+## Continuous Updates
+
+The socktop agent provides real-time system metrics. Each request returns the current snapshot, but you can implement continuous monitoring by making requests in a loop:
+
+```rust
+use socktop_connector::{connect_to_socktop_agent, AgentRequest, AgentResponse, ConnectorError};
+use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    let mut connector = connect_to_socktop_agent("ws://localhost:3000/ws").await?;
+    
+    // Monitor system metrics every 2 seconds
+    loop {
+        match connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await {
+            Ok(AgentResponse::Metrics(metrics)) => {
+                // Calculate total network activity across all interfaces
+                let total_rx: u64 = metrics.networks.iter().map(|n| n.received).sum();
+                let total_tx: u64 = metrics.networks.iter().map(|n| n.transmitted).sum();
+                
+                println!("CPU: {:.1}%, Memory: {:.1}%, Network: ↓{} ↑{}", 
+                    metrics.cpu_total,
+                    (metrics.mem_used as f64 / metrics.mem_total as f64) * 100.0,
+                    format_bytes(total_rx),
+                    format_bytes(total_tx)
+                );
+            }
+            Err(e) => {
+                eprintln!("Error getting metrics: {}", e);
+                
+                // You can pattern match on specific error types for different handling
+                match e {
+                    socktop_connector::ConnectorError::WebSocketError(_) => {
+                        eprintln!("Connection lost, attempting to reconnect...");
+                        // Implement reconnection logic here
+                        break;
+                    }
+                    socktop_connector::ConnectorError::JsonError(_) => {
+                        eprintln!("Data parsing error, continuing...");
+                        // Continue with next iteration for transient parsing errors
+                    }
+                    _ => {
+                        eprintln!("Other error, stopping monitoring");
+                        break;
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+            _ => unreachable!(),
+        }
+        
+        sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+
+fn format_bytes(bytes: u64) -> String {
+    const UNITS: &[&str] = &["B", "KB", "MB", "GB"];
+    let mut size = bytes as f64;
+    let mut unit_index = 0;
+    
+    while size >= 1024.0 && unit_index < UNITS.len() - 1 {
+        size /= 1024.0;
+        unit_index += 1;
+    }
+    
+    format!("{:.1}{}", size, UNITS[unit_index])
+}
+```
+
+### Understanding Data Freshness
+
+The socktop agent implements intelligent caching to avoid overwhelming the system:
+
+- **Metrics**: Cached for ~250ms by default (cheap / fast-changing data like CPU, memory)
+- **Processes**: Cached for ~1500ms by default (exppensive / moderately changing data)  
+- **Disks**: Cached for ~1000ms by default (cheap / slowly changing data)
+
+These values have been generally tuned in advance. You should not need to override them. The reason for this cache is for the use case that multiple clients are requesting data. In general a single client should never really hit a cached response since the polling rates are slower that the cache intervals. Cache intervals have been tuned based on how much work the agent has to do in the case of reloading fresh data.
+
+
+This means:
+
+1. **Multiple rapid requests** for the same data type will return cached results
+2. **Different data types** have independent cache timers
+3. **Fresh data** is automatically retrieved when cache expires
+
+```rust
+use socktop_connector::{connect_to_socktop_agent, AgentRequest, AgentResponse};
+use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    let mut connector = connect_to_socktop_agent("ws://localhost:3000/ws").await?;
+    
+    // This demonstrates cache behavior
+    println!("Requesting metrics twice quickly...");
+    
+    // First request - fresh data from system
+    let start = std::time::Instant::now();
+    connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await?;
+    println!("First request took: {:?}", start.elapsed());
+    
+    // Second request immediately - cached data  
+    let start = std::time::Instant::now();
+    connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await?;
+    println!("Second request took: {:?}", start.elapsed()); // Much faster!
+    
+    // Wait for cache to expire, then request again
+    sleep(Duration::from_millis(300)).await;
+    let start = std::time::Instant::now();
+    connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await?;
+    println!("Third request (after cache expiry): {:?}", start.elapsed());
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+The WebSocket connection remains open between requests, providing efficient real-time monitoring without connection overhead.
+
+## Request Types
+
+The library supports three types of requests:
+
+- `AgentRequest::Metrics` - Get current system metrics (CPU, memory, network, etc.)
+- `AgentRequest::Disks` - Get disk usage information
+- `AgentRequest::Processes` - Get running process information
+
+## Response Types
+
+Responses are automatically parsed into strongly-typed structures:
+
+- `AgentResponse::Metrics(Metrics)` - System metrics with CPU, memory, network data
+- `AgentResponse::Disks(Vec<DiskInfo>)` - List of disk usage information
+- `AgentResponse::Processes(ProcessesPayload)` - Process list with CPU and memory usage
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+The library provides flexible configuration through the `ConnectorConfig` builder:
+
+- `with_tls_ca(path)` - Enable TLS with certificate pinning
+- `with_hostname_verification(bool)` - Control hostname verification for TLS connections
+  - `true` (recommended): Verify the server hostname matches the certificate  
+  - `false`: Skip hostname verification (useful for localhost or IP-based connections)
+- `with_protocols(Vec<String>)` - Set WebSocket sub-protocols for protocol negotiation
+- `with_version(String)` - Set WebSocket protocol version (default is "13", the current standard)
+
+**Note**: Hostname verification only applies to TLS connections (`wss://`). Non-TLS connections (`ws://`) don't use certificates, so hostname verification is not applicable.
+
+## WASM Compatibility (experimental)
+
+`socktop_connector` provides **full WebSocket support** for WebAssembly (WASM) environments, including complete networking functionality with automatic compression and protobuf decoding.
+
+### Quick Setup
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+socktop_connector = { version = "0.1.5", default-features = false, features = ["wasm"] }
+wasm-bindgen = "0.2"
+serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
+serde_json = "1.0"
+```
+
+### What Works
+- ✅ Full WebSocket connectivity (`ws://` connections)
+- ✅ All request types (`Metrics`, `Disks`, `Processes`)  
+- ✅ Automatic gzip decompression for metrics and disks
+- ✅ Automatic protobuf decoding for process data
+- ✅ All types (`ConnectorConfig`, `AgentRequest`, `AgentResponse`)
+- ✅ JSON serialization/deserialization  
+- ✅ Protocol and version configuration
+
+### What Doesn't Work  
+- ❌ TLS connections (`wss://`) - use `ws://` only
+- ❌ TLS certificate handling
+
+### Basic WASM Usage
+
+```rust
+use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
+use socktop_connector::{ConnectorConfig, SocktopConnector, AgentRequest};
+
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub async fn test_connection() {
+    let config = ConnectorConfig::new("ws://localhost:3000/ws");
+    let mut connector = SocktopConnector::new(config);
+    
+    match connector.connect().await {
+        Ok(()) => {
+            // Request metrics with automatic gzip decompression
+            let response = connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await.unwrap();
+            console_log!("Got metrics: {:?}", response);
+            
+            // Request processes with automatic protobuf decoding
+            let response = connector.request(AgentRequest::Processes).await.unwrap();
+            console_log!("Got processes: {:?}", response);
+        }
+        Err(e) => console_log!("Connection failed: {}", e),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Complete WASM Guide
+
+For detailed implementation examples, complete code samples, and a working test environment, see the **[WASM Compatibility Guide](../socktop_wasm_test/README.md)** in the `socktop_wasm_test/` directory.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- **Production TLS**: You can enable hostname verification (`verify_hostname: true`) for production systems, This will add an additional level of production of verifying the hostname against the certificate. Generally this is to stop a man in the middle attack, but since it will be the client who is fooled and not the server, the risk and likelyhood of this use case is rather low. Which is why this is disabled by default. 
+- **Certificate Pinning**: Use `with_tls_ca()` for self-signed certificates, the socktop agent will generate certificates on start. see main readme for more details. 
+- **Non-TLS**: Use only for development or trusted networks
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Currently no environment variables are used. All configuration is done through the API.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The library uses structured error types via `thiserror` for comprehensive error handling. You can pattern match on specific error types:
+
+```rust
+use socktop_connector::{connect_to_socktop_agent, ConnectorError, AgentRequest};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() {
+    match connect_to_socktop_agent("invalid://url").await {
+        Ok(mut connector) => {
+            // Handle successful connection
+            match connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await {
+                Ok(response) => println!("Got response: {:?}", response),
+                Err(ConnectorError::WebSocketError(e)) => {
+                    eprintln!("WebSocket communication failed: {}", e);
+                }
+                Err(ConnectorError::JsonError(e)) => {
+                    eprintln!("Failed to parse response: {}", e);
+                }
+                Err(e) => eprintln!("Other error: {}", e),
+            }
+        }
+        Err(ConnectorError::UrlError(e)) => {
+            eprintln!("Invalid URL: {}", e);
+        }
+        Err(ConnectorError::WebSocketError(e)) => {

+
+### Error Types
+
+The `ConnectorError` enum provides specific variants for different error conditions:
+
+- `ConnectorError::WebSocketError` - WebSocket connection or communication errors
+- `ConnectorError::TlsError` - TLS-related errors (certificate validation, etc.)
+- `ConnectorError::UrlError` - URL parsing errors
+- `ConnectorError::JsonError` - JSON serialization/deserialization errors
+- `ConnectorError::ProtocolError` - Protocol-level errors
+- `ConnectorError::CompressionError` - Gzip compression/decompression errors
+- `ConnectorError::IoError` - I/O errors
+- `ConnectorError::Other` - Other errors with descriptive messages
+
+All errors implement `std::error::Error` so they work seamlessly with `Box<dyn std::error::Error>`, `anyhow`, and other error handling crates.
+
+### Migration from Generic Errors
+
+If you were previously using the library with generic error handling, your existing code will continue to work:
+
+```rust
+// This continues to work as before
+async fn my_function() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    let mut connector = connect_to_socktop_agent("ws://localhost:3000/ws").await?;
+    let response = connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await?;
+    Ok(())
+}
+
+// But now you can also use structured error handling for better control
+async fn improved_function() -> Result<(), ConnectorError> {
+    let mut connector = connect_to_socktop_agent("ws://localhost:3000/ws").await?;
+    let response = connector.request(AgentRequest::Metrics).await?;
+    Ok(())
+}
+```

+# WASM Compatibility Guide for socktop_connector
+
+This directory contains a complete WebAssembly (WASM) compatibility test and implementation guide for the `socktop_connector` library.
+
+## Overview
+
+`socktop_connector` provides **full WebSocket networking support** for WebAssembly environments. The library includes complete connectivity functionality with automatic compression and protobuf decoding, making it easy to connect to socktop agents directly from browser applications.
+
+## What Works in WASM
+
+- ✅ **Full WebSocket connections** (`ws://` connections)
+- ✅ **All request types** (`AgentRequest::Metrics`, `AgentRequest::Disks`, `AgentRequest::Processes`)
+- ✅ **Automatic data processing**: Gzip decompression for metrics/disks, protobuf decoding for processes
+- ✅ Configuration types (`ConnectorConfig`) 
+- ✅ Request/Response types (`AgentRequest`, `AgentResponse`)  
+- ✅ JSON serialization/deserialization of all types
+- ✅ Protocol and version configuration builders
+- ✅ All type-safe validation and error handling
+
+## What Doesn't Work in WASM
+
+- ❌ TLS connections (`wss://`) - use `ws://` only
+- ❌ TLS certificate handling (use non-TLS endpoints)
+
+## Quick Start - WASM Test Page
+
+```bash
+# Please note that the test assumes you have and agent runnign on your local host at port 3000. If you would like to use an alternate configuration please update lib.rs prior to build. 
+
+# Build the WASM package
+wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir pkg
+
+# Serve the test page
+basic-http-server . --addr 127.0.0.1:8000
+
+# Open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser
+# Check the browser console for test results
+```
+
+<img src="./screenshot_09092025_134458.jpg" width="85%">
+
+
+## WASM Dependencies
+
+The test uses the WASM-compatible networking features:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+socktop_connector = { version = "0.1.5", default-features = false, features = ["wasm"] }
+serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
+serde_json = "1.0"
+wasm-bindgen = "0.2"
+console_error_panic_hook = "0.1"
+
+[dependencies.web-sys]
+version = "0.3"
+features = ["console"]
+```
+
+**Key**: Use `features = ["wasm"]` to enable full WebSocket networking support in WASM builds.
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### 1. Use socktop_connector Types for Configuration
+
+```rust
+use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
+use socktop_connector::{ConnectorConfig, AgentRequest, AgentResponse};
+
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub fn create_config() -> String {
+    // Use socktop_connector types for type-safe configuration
+    let config = ConnectorConfig::new("ws://localhost:3000/ws")
+        .with_protocols(vec!["socktop".to_string(), "v1".to_string()])
+        .with_version("13".to_string());
+    
+    // Return JSON for use with browser WebSocket API  
+    serde_json::to_string(&config).unwrap_or_default()
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Create Type-Safe Requests
+
+```rust
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub fn create_metrics_request() -> String {
+    let request = AgentRequest::Metrics;
+    serde_json::to_string(&request).unwrap_or_default()
+}
+
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub fn create_processes_request() -> String {
+    let request = AgentRequest::Processes;
+    serde_json::to_string(&request).unwrap_or_default()
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Parse Responses with Type Safety
+
+```rust
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub fn parse_metrics_response(json: &str) -> Option<String> {
+    match serde_json::from_str::<AgentResponse>(json) {
+        Ok(AgentResponse::Metrics(metrics)) => {
+            Some(format!("CPU: {}%, Memory: {}MB", 
+                metrics.cpu_total,
+                metrics.mem_used / 1024 / 1024))
+        }
+        _ => None
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Browser Integration
+
+Then in JavaScript:
+
+```javascript
+import init, { 
+    create_config, 
+    create_metrics_request, 
+    parse_metrics_response 
+} from './pkg/socktop_wasm_test.js';
+
+async function run() {
+    await init();
+    
+    // Use type-safe configuration
+    const configJson = create_config();
+    const config = JSON.parse(configJson);
+    
+    // Create WebSocket with proper protocols
+    const ws = new WebSocket(config.url, config.ws_protocols);
+    
+    ws.onopen = () => {
+        // Send type-safe requests
+        ws.send(create_metrics_request());
+    };
+    
+    ws.onmessage = (event) => {
+        // Handle responses with type safety
+        const result = parse_metrics_response(event.data);
+        if (result) {
+            console.log(result);
+        }
+    };
+}
+
+run();
+```

+# Zellij Socktop Plugin
+
+A Zellij plugin that displays real-time system metrics from a socktop agent.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. **Build the plugin:**
+   ```bash
+   cargo build --target wasm32-wasi --release
+   ```
+
+2. **Install in Zellij:**
+   ```bash
+   # Copy the WASM file to Zellij plugins directory
+   mkdir -p ~/.config/zellij/plugins
+   cp target/wasm32-wasi/release/zellij_socktop_plugin.wasm ~/.config/zellij/plugins/socktop.wasm
+   cp plugin.yaml ~/.config/zellij/plugins/
+   ```
+
+3. **Use in Zellij layout:**
+   ```yaml
+   # ~/.config/zellij/layouts/socktop.yaml
+   template:
+     direction: Horizontal
+     parts:
+       - direction: Vertical
+         borderless: true
+         split_size:
+           Fixed: 1
+         run:
+           plugin:
+             location: "file:~/.config/zellij/plugins/socktop.wasm"
+             configuration:
+               server_url: "ws://localhost:3000/ws"
+       - direction: Vertical
+   ```
+
+4. **Launch Zellij with the layout:**
+   ```bash
+   zellij --layout socktop
+   ```
+
+## Plugin Features
+
+- **Real-time Metrics**: Displays CPU and memory usage
+- **Auto-refresh**: Updates every 2 seconds
+- **Reconnection**: Press 'r' to reconnect to socktop agent
+- **Configurable**: Set custom server URL in plugin config
+- **Error Handling**: Shows connection status and errors
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+- `server_url`: WebSocket URL for socktop agent (default: `ws://localhost:3000/ws`)
+
+## Controls
+
+- **`r`** - Reconnect to socktop agent
+- Plugin updates automatically every 2 seconds
+
+## Development Notes
+
+This is a scaffold implementation. To make it fully functional:
+
+1. **Async Operations**: Zellij plugins have limitations with async operations. You may need to:
+   - Use a different async runtime or approach
+   - Handle WebSocket connections in a background thread
+   - Use message passing between threads
+
+2. **Error Handling**: Add more robust error handling for:
+   - Network connectivity issues
+   - Invalid server URLs
+   - Agent unavailability
+
+3. **UI Improvements**: 
+   - Add more detailed metrics display
+   - Implement scrolling for large datasets
+   - Add color coding for status indicators
+
+4. **Performance**: 
+   - Implement caching to reduce agent requests
+   - Add configurable update intervals
+   - Optimize WASM binary size
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `zellij-tile`: Zellij plugin framework
+- `socktop_connector`: WebSocket connector with WASM support
+- `serde`: JSON serialization
+- `chrono`: Time handling (WASM-compatible)
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+# Add WASM target
+rustup target add wasm32-wasi
+
+# Build for WASM
+cargo build --target wasm32-wasi --release
+
+# The plugin will be at: target/wasm32-wasi/release/zellij_socktop_plugin.wasm
+```
