How to build apps with the Francis distributed-actor framework (Go). Covers virtual actors, durable state, alarms, jobs, cron jobs, rate limiters, singleton actors, and host/topology setup. Use this whenever the user is writing or modifying Francis actors, wiring up a host, adding durable state/alarms/jobs, using the built-in cron or rate-limiter actors, choosing between local and remote topologies, or asks how to do any of these — even if they don't name "Francis" but are clearly working in this repo (imports of github.com/italypaleale/francis, actor.Client, RegisterActor, etc.).
