// Package tsconsensus implements a consensus algorithm for a group of tsnet.Servers
//
// The Raft consensus algorithm relies on you implementing a state machine that will give the same
// result to a given command as long as the same logs have been applied in the same order.
//
// tsconsensus uses the hashicorp/raft library to implement leader elections and log application.
//
// tsconsensus provides:
//   - cluster peer discovery based on tailscale tags
//   - executing a command on the leader
//   - communication between cluster peers over tailscale using tsnet
//
// Users implement a state machine that satisfies the raft.FSM interface, with the business logic they desire.
// When changes to state are needed any node may
//   - create a Command instance with serialized Args.
//   - call ExecuteCommand with the Command instance
//     this will propagate the command to the leader,
//     and then from the reader to every node via raft.
//   - the state machine then can implement raft.Apply, and dispatch commands via the Command.Name
//     returning a CommandResult with an Err or a serialized Result.
