    def process_intent(intent, state) do
      case intent do
        %IncrementIntent{} ->
          new_state = %{state | count: state.count + 1}
          {:ok, new_state, []}
        %ResetIntent{} ->
          new_state = %{state | count: 0}
          {:ok, new_state, []}
        _ ->
          {:error, :unsupported_intent}
      end
    end
  end

  # Define effects
  defmodule CounterEffect do
    def increment(intent) do
      IO.puts("Incrementing counter for user: #{intent.user_id}")
      {:ok, :incremented}
    end

    def reset(intent) do
      IO.puts("Resetting counter for user: #{intent.user_id}")
      {:ok, :reset}
    end
  end
end
```

## Usage

### Basic DSL Macros

PacketFlow provides several DSL macros for common patterns:

#### Simple Capabilities

```elixir
defsimple_capability FileCap, [:read, :write, :admin] do
  @implications [
    {FileCap.admin, [FileCap.read, FileCap.write]},
    {FileCap.write, [FileCap.read]}
  ]
end

# Usage
read_cap = FileCap.read("/path/to/file")
admin_cap = FileCap.admin()
FileCap.implies?(admin_cap, read_cap) # true
```

#### Simple Contexts

```elixir
defsimple_context RequestContext, [:user_id, :session_id, :capabilities] do
  @propagation_strategy :inherit
end

# Usage
context = RequestContext.new(user_id: "user123", session_id: "session456")
propagated = RequestContext.propagate(context, SomeModule)
```

#### Simple Intents

```elixir
defsimple_intent FileReadIntent, [:path, :user_id] do
  @capabilities [FileCap.read]
  @effect FileSystemEffect.read_file
end

# Usage
intent = FileReadIntent.new("/path/to/file", "user123")
capabilities = FileReadIntent.required_capabilities(intent)
```

#### Simple Reactors

```elixir
defsimple_reactor FileReactor, [:files] do
  def process_intent(intent, state) do
    case intent do
      %FileReadIntent{path: path} ->
        content = "Content of #{path}"
        new_state = Map.put(state.files, path, content)
        {:ok, %{state | files: new_state}, []}
      _ ->
        {:error, :unsupported_intent}
    end
  end
end
```

### Advanced DSL Macros

For more complex scenarios, use the full DSL macros:

#### Capabilities

```elixir
defcapability FileSystemCap do
  @implications [
    {FileSystemCap.admin, [FileSystemCap.read, FileSystemCap.write, FileSystemCap.delete]},
    {FileSystemCap.delete, [FileSystemCap.read, FileSystemCap.write]},
    {FileSystemCap.write, [FileSystemCap.read]}
  ]

  def read(path), do: {:read, path}
  def write(path), do: {:write, path}
  def delete(path), do: {:delete, path}
  def admin(), do: {:admin}

  def implies?(cap1, cap2) do
    implications = @implications
    |> Enum.find(fn {cap, _} -> cap == cap1 end)
    |> case do
      {^cap1, implied_caps} -> Enum.any?(implied_caps, &(&1 == cap2))
      _ -> cap1 == cap2
    end
  end
end
```

#### Contexts

```elixir
defcontext UserContext do
  @propagation_strategy :inherit
  @composition_strategy :merge

  defstruct [:user_id, :session_id, :request_id, :capabilities, :trace]

  def new(attrs \\ []) do
    struct(__MODULE__, attrs)
    |> compute_capabilities()
    |> ensure_request_id()
  end

  def propagate(context, target_module) do
    case @propagation_strategy do
      :inherit ->
        %__MODULE__{
          user_id: context.user_id,
          session_id: context.session_id,
          request_id: generate_request_id(),
          capabilities: context.capabilities,
          trace: [target_module | (context.trace || [])]
        }
    end
  end

  def compose(context1, context2, strategy \\ @composition_strategy) do
    case strategy do
      :merge ->
        %__MODULE__{
          user_id: context2.user_id,
          session_id: context2.session_id,
          request_id: generate_request_id(),
          capabilities: MapSet.union(context1.capabilities, context2.capabilities),
          trace: (context1.trace || []) ++ (context2.trace || [])
        }
    end
  end

  defp compute_capabilities(context) do
    capabilities = case context.user_id do
      "admin" -> MapSet.new([FileSystemCap.admin()])
      "user" -> MapSet.new([FileSystemCap.read(:any), FileSystemCap.write(:any)])
      _ -> MapSet.new([FileSystemCap.read(:any)])
    end
    %{context | capabilities: capabilities}
  end

  defp generate_request_id, do: "req_#{:rand.uniform(1000)}"
  defp ensure_request_id(context) do
    if context.request_id == nil do
      %{context | request_id: generate_request_id()}
    else
      context
    end
  end
end
```

#### Intents

```elixir
defintent FileReadIntent do
  @capabilities [FileSystemCap.read]
  @effect FileSystemEffect.read_file

  defstruct [:path, :user_id, :session_id]

  def new(path, user_id, session_id) do
    %__MODULE__{
      path: path,
      user_id: user_id,
      session_id: session_id
    }
  end

  def required_capabilities(intent) do
    [FileSystemCap.read(intent.path)]
  end

  def to_reactor_message(intent, opts \\ []) do
    %PacketFlow.Reactor.Message{
      intent: intent,
      capabilities: required_capabilities(intent),
      context: opts[:context] || PacketFlow.Context.empty(),
      metadata: %{type: :file_read, timestamp: System.system_time()},
      timestamp: System.system_time()
    }
  end

  def to_effect(intent, opts \\ []) do
    PacketFlow.Effect.new(
      intent: intent,
      capabilities: required_capabilities(intent),
      context: opts[:context] || PacketFlow.Context.empty(),
      continuation: &FileSystemEffect.read_file/1
    )
  end
end
```

#### Reactors

```elixir
defreactor FileReactor do
  @initial_state %{files: %{}, operations: []}

  def start_link(opts \\ []) do
    GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, opts, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  def init(opts) do
    {:ok, Keyword.get(opts, :initial_state, @initial_state)}
  end

  def handle_call({:process_intent, intent}, _from, state) do
    case process_intent(intent, state) do
      {:ok, new_state, effects} ->
        schedule_effects(effects)
        {:reply, :ok, new_state}
      {:error, reason} ->
        {:reply, {:error, reason}, state}
    end
  end

  defp process_intent(intent, state) do
    case intent do
      %FileReadIntent{path: path} ->
        content = Map.get(state.files, path, "Content of #{path}")
        new_state = %{state | operations: [{:read, path} | state.operations]}
        {:ok, new_state, [{:file_read, path, content}]}
      _ ->
        {:error, :unsupported_intent}
    end
  end

  defp schedule_effects(effects) do
    Enum.each(effects, fn effect ->
      spawn(fn -> execute_effect(effect) end)
    end)
  end

  defp execute_effect(effect) do
    IO.puts("Executing effect: #{inspect(effect)}")
    PacketFlow.Effect.execute(effect)
  end
end
```

### Dynamic Intent System

PacketFlow includes a powerful dynamic intent system for runtime intent processing:

```elixir
# Create intents dynamically at runtime
intent = PacketFlow.Intent.Dynamic.create_intent(
  "FileReadIntent", 
  %{path: "/path/to/file", user_id: "user123"}, 
  [FileCap.read("/path/to/file")]
)

# Route intents dynamically
case PacketFlow.Intent.Dynamic.route_intent(intent) do
  {:ok, target_reactor} ->
    # Process with target reactor
  {:error, reason} ->
    # Handle routing error
end

# Compose intents with different patterns
result = PacketFlow.Intent.Dynamic.compose_intents([
  intent1, intent2, intent3
], :sequential)

# Validate and transform intents with plugins
case PacketFlow.Intent.Dynamic.validate_intent(intent) do
  {:ok, validated_intent} ->
    case PacketFlow.Intent.Dynamic.transform_intent(validated_intent) do
      {:ok, transformed_intent} ->
        # Process transformed intent
      {:error, reason} ->
        # Handle transformation error
    end
  {:error, validation_errors} ->
    # Handle validation errors
end
```

### Plugin System

Create custom intent types, routing strategies, and composition patterns:

```elixir
# Define custom intent plugin
defintent_plugin MyCustomIntentPlugin do
  @plugin_type :intent_validation
  @priority 10

  def validate(intent) do
    case intent.type do
      "MyCustomIntent" ->
        validate_custom_logic(intent)
      _ ->
        {:ok, intent}
    end
  end

  def transform(intent) do
    # Custom transformation logic
    {:ok, transform_custom_logic(intent)}
  end
end

# Register plugin
PacketFlow.Intent.Plugin.register_plugin(MyCustomIntentPlugin)
```

### Web Framework Integration

PacketFlow includes a modern web framework built on Temple with capability-aware components:

```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Web do
  use PacketFlow.Web

  # Define web capabilities
  defmodule UICap do
    def read(component), do: {:read, component}
    def write(component), do: {:write, component}
    def admin(component), do: {:admin, component}
    
    @implications [
      {{:admin, :any}, [{:read, :any}, {:write, :any}]},
      {{:write, :any}, [{:read, :any}]}
    ]
    
    def implies?(cap1, cap2) do
      if cap1 == cap2 do
        true
      else
        @implications
        |> Enum.find(fn {cap, _} -> cap == cap1 end)
        |> case do
          {^cap1, implied_caps} -> Enum.any?(implied_caps, &(&1 == cap2))
          _ -> false
        end
      end
    end
  end

  # Define capability-aware component
  defmodule AdminComponent do
    import Temple

    def render(assigns) do
      temple do
        div class: "admin-panel" do
          span do: "Admin Panel"
          
          if has_capability?(assigns.capabilities, UICap.admin(:any)) do
            div class: "admin-actions" do
              button do: "Delete All"
              button do: "Reset System"
            end
          end
        end
      end
      |> Phoenix.HTML.Safe.to_iodata()
      |> IO.iodata_to_binary()
    end

    defp has_capability?(user_capabilities, required_capability) do
      Enum.any?(user_capabilities, fn user_cap ->
        UICap.implies?(user_cap, required_capability)
      end)
    end
  end

  # Define capability-aware route
  def route("/api/admin", conn, _params) do
    conn
    |> put_status(200)
    |> json(%{message: "Admin endpoint working"})
  end
end
```

### Registry Integration

```elixir
# Register components
:ok = PacketFlow.Registry.register_reactor("file_reactor", %{id: "file_reactor"})
:ok = PacketFlow.Registry.register_capability("file_cap", %{id: "file_cap"})

# Look up components
reactor_info = PacketFlow.Registry.lookup_reactor("file_reactor")
capability_info = PacketFlow.Registry.lookup_capability("file_cap")

# List all components
reactors = PacketFlow.Registry.list_reactors()
capabilities = PacketFlow.Registry.list_capabilities()
```
