Interesting, I remember seeing somewhere you said that messenger library arch wasn't designed for gRPC. I am personally a great lover of messenger over the common preference of actor, DQMH, QMH.... etc
I have two questions.

Do you know of a network streams implementations of messenger? I can see it being possible but haven't personally implemented it. I have used the TCP messenger but due to a flaky WIFI connection I have a lot of packet loss which can't be recovered due to TCP protocol.

I don't know if you have seen DQMH Lumos? I tried to add a trace follower to messenger. The sending was trivial but the receive was less so. My initial attempt was read label but that seems to picked up in multiple places.
