But the true genius—and the true terror—of the Bronson API lies in its state management. Bronson abhors shared mutable state. Instead of a distributed cache or a centralized database, each request carries its own necessary context in a signed JWT-like structure called a Bubble . The API processes the request, mutates the Bubble, and returns it to the client. The server itself persists nothing. This "client-carried state" pattern eliminates the need for sticky sessions or distributed transactions, but it places an immense burden on the consumer. A single corrupted bit in a Bubble can lead to the infamous Bubble Burst error, which requires a full state reconciliation from a cold start. Bronson abhors shared mutable state
