-## API Overview
+## Examples
 
-* **`Leader::new(bucket: &str, key: &str, client: async_nats::Client) -> Leader`**
-  Create a new election participant.
-* **`create_bucket(&self) -> anyhow::Result<()>`**
-  Ensures the KV bucket exists (no-op if already created).
-* **`start(&self, token: CancellationToken) -> anyhow::Result<()>`**
-  Begins the background leader-election loop; renews TTL on success or retries on failure.
-* **`do_while_leader<F, Fut>(&self, f: F) -> anyhow::Result<()>`**
-  Runs your closure as long as you hold leadership; cancels immediately on loss.
-* **`leader_id(&self) -> Uuid`**
-  Returns your unique candidate ID.
-* **`is_leader(&self) -> Status`**
-  Returns `Status::Leader` or `Status::Candidate`, taking shutdown into account.
+See the examples folder in ./crates/noleader/examples
 
-### Types
+## Architecture

+Noleader uses a simple election stealing
