External client

Demonstrates a Client that reaches the actors of the cluster without hosting actors or storing their state. Two processes run the nodes, while a third sends votes for four options and asks for the count and the node responsible for each; the shared types are in app.py, and repeated votes from the same voter for the same option count only once.

Needs local TCP ports 7421 and 7422 to be free. Run each block in a separate terminal.

Terminal 1:

cd examples/07-client
uv run node.py 7421

Terminal 2:

cd examples/07-client
uv run node.py 7422

Once the nodes print is up, run in terminal 3:

cd examples/07-client
uv run client.py

Stop the nodes with Ctrl+C in their terminals.
