Thank you — this is very helpful feedback.

You’re absolutely right that I led with terminology instead of value. A simpler way to describe it is:

Hibana helps prevent protocol drift bugs in distributed systems. You describe the interaction once as a global choreography, and each role gets a projected local API. Because steps are affine (consumed once), invalid transitions like skipping, reusing, or taking the wrong branch are rejected by the type/protocol model.

So the practical goal is fewer hidden state-machine bugs, with one global source of truth for interaction order.

I appreciate the suggestion, and I’ll explain it this way in the next write-up.
