+# Server-Sent Events in Dream
+
+Push real-time updates from server to client using typed SSE connections backed by dedicated OTP actors.
+
+This guide assumes you:
+
+- Know a little HTTP (requests, responses, status codes).
+- May be **new to Gleam** – examples are small and include imports and types.
+
+We will cover:
+
+- When to use SSE vs WebSockets vs HTTP streaming.
+- How Dream upgrades an HTTP request to an SSE connection.
+- Writing `on_init` and `on_message` handlers.
+- Building and sending events.
+- Broadcasting events from external code.
+- Connecting from JavaScript with `EventSource`.
+- Where to look for a full example and tests.
+
+## SSE vs WebSockets vs Streaming
+
+Dream supports three real-time patterns:
+
+- **Server-Sent Events (SSE)** – one-way event stream from server to browser.
+  Simple, automatic reconnection, works over plain HTTP.
+- **WebSockets** – bi-directional, long-lived connections. Both client and
+  server can send messages at any time.
+- **Streaming responses** – send large responses in chunks (files, CSV exports).
+
+Use SSE when:
+
+- The server pushes updates and the client only listens.
+- You want **automatic reconnection** (built into the browser's `EventSource`).
+- You need **event IDs** so the client can resume after disconnection.
+- You are building **live dashboards**, notification feeds, or progress indicators.
+
+If the client also needs to send messages, use
+[WebSockets](websockets.md) instead. For large file downloads or one-off
+streams, see the [Streaming Guide](streaming.md).
+
+## Overview: How Dream SSE Works
+
+Dream's SSE support lives in the Mist server adapter module:
+
+```gleam
+import dream/servers/mist/sse
+```
+
+From your application's point of view, you work with:
+
+- `sse.SSEConnection` – an opaque handle to the SSE connection.
+- `sse.Event` – a structured SSE event built with `event`, `event_name`,
+  `event_id`, and `event_retry`.
+- `sse.Action(state, message)` – what to do after handling a message.
+- `sse.upgrade_to_sse` – called from a controller to upgrade HTTP to SSE.
+
+The high-level flow is:
+
+1. A browser makes an HTTP request to a path in your app
+   (for example, `GET /events` with `Accept: text/event-stream`).
+2. Your Dream **router** sends that request to a controller.
+3. The controller calls `upgrade_to_sse` instead of returning a normal
+   HTTP response.
+4. Dream and Mist spawn a **dedicated OTP actor** for this connection.
+5. Dream calls your handler functions:
+   - `on_init` (once, when the actor starts — receives a `Subject(message)`).
+   - `on_message` (every time a message is received by the actor).
+
+Unlike the old `sse_response` function which used chunked encoding and
+would stall after a few events, `upgrade_to_sse` gives the SSE connection
+its own mailbox, completely avoiding TCP message contention.
+
+## Step 1: Define a Dependencies type
+
+Dream has a strong rule: **no closures in controllers or handlers**.
+Instead of capturing variables from outer scopes, you pass everything
+explicitly through function parameters.
+
+For SSE we usually create a small `Dependencies` type:
+
+```gleam
+pub type Dependencies {
+  Dependencies(counter_start: Int)
+}
+```
+
+## Step 2: Define an SSE route and controller
+
+Add a route in your router that points to a controller function:
+
+```gleam
+import dream/http/request.{Get}
+import dream/router.{route, router}
+import controllers/sse_controller
+
+pub fn create_router() {
+  router()
+  |> route(
+    method: Get,
+    path: "/events",
+    controller: sse_controller.handle_events,
+    middleware: [],
+  )
+}
+```
+
+An SSE controller has the same shape as a regular controller:
+
+```gleam
+import dream/http/request.{type Request}
+import dream/http/response.{type Response}
+import dream/servers/mist/sse
+
+pub fn handle_events(request: Request, _context, _services) -> Response {
+  let deps = Dependencies(counter_start: 0)
+
+  sse.upgrade_to_sse(
+    request,
+    dependencies: deps,
+    on_init: handle_init,
+    on_message: handle_message,
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Instead of returning a `Response` directly, the controller calls
+`upgrade_to_sse`. Dream returns a dummy HTTP response to satisfy the
+controller type, but the real work happens in the SSE actor.
+
+## Step 3: `on_init` – run when the actor starts
+
+`on_init` runs **once**, right after the SSE actor is created. It receives:
+
+- A `Subject(message)` – the actor's mailbox address. External code can
+  `process.send(subject, message)` to push messages into the actor.
+- Your `Dependencies`.
+
+It returns a tuple of initial state and an optional `Selector(message)`:
+
+```gleam
+import gleam/erlang/process
+import gleam/option.{None}
+
+pub type Tick {
+  Tick
+}
+
+pub type State {
+  State(count: Int, self: process.Subject(Tick))
+}
+
+fn handle_init(
+  subject: process.Subject(Tick),
+  deps: Dependencies,
+) -> #(State, option.Option(process.Selector(Tick))) {
+  // Send the first tick to start the loop
+  process.send(subject, Tick)
+  #(State(count: deps.counter_start, self: subject), None)
+}
+```
+
+The actor stores the subject in state so `on_message` can schedule
+future messages to itself.
+
+## Step 4: `on_message` – handle messages and send events
+
+Every time a message arrives, Dream calls your `on_message` function.
+It must return an `Action(state, message)` created by one of:
+
+- `sse.continue_connection(state)` – keep the actor running.
+- `sse.continue_connection_with_selector(state, selector)` – keep running
+  and change the message selector.
+- `sse.stop_connection()` – shut down the actor.
+
+```gleam
+import dream/servers/mist/sse
+import gleam/erlang/process
+import gleam/int
+
+fn handle_message(
+  state: State,
+  _message: Tick,
+  connection: sse.SSEConnection,
+  _deps: Dependencies,
+) -> sse.Action(State, Tick) {
+  let ev =
+    sse.event("{\"count\": " <> int.to_string(state.count) <> "}")
+    |> sse.event_name("tick")
+    |> sse.event_id(int.to_string(state.count))
+
+  let _ = sse.send_event(connection, ev)
+
+  // Schedule the next tick
+  process.send_after(state.self, 1000, Tick)
+  sse.continue_connection(State(..state, count: state.count + 1))
+}
+```
+
+## Step 5: Event builders
+
+SSE events are built with a pipeline of builder functions:
+
+```gleam
+// Minimal event (data only)
+sse.event("hello world")
+
+// Event with all optional fields
+sse.event("{\"count\": 42}")
+|> sse.event_name("tick")       // event: tick
+|> sse.event_id("42")           // id: 42
+|> sse.event_retry(5000)        // retry: 5000
+```
+
+- `event(data)` – creates an event. The only required field.
+- `event_name(event, name)` – sets the event type. Clients filter on this
+  with `EventSource.addEventListener("name", ...)`.
+- `event_id(event, id)` – sets the event ID. The browser sends
+  `Last-Event-ID` on reconnection so you can resume.
+- `event_retry(event, ms)` – tells the client how long to wait before
+  reconnecting after a connection loss.
+
+Send the event with:
+
+```gleam
+case sse.send_event(connection, ev) {
+  Ok(Nil) -> sse.continue_connection(state)
+  Error(Nil) -> sse.stop_connection()
+}
+```
+
+## Broadcasting with SSE
+
+For non-trivial apps, you often need external code (other controllers,
+background jobs, etc.) to push events into SSE connections. Use the
+`Subject(message)` received in `on_init`:
+
+1. Store the subject in a shared location (broadcaster, ETS, etc.).
+2. From anywhere in your app, `process.send(subject, your_message)`.
+3. The SSE actor's `on_message` receives it and sends an event to the client.
+
+Dream's `broadcaster` module works naturally with SSE:
+
+```gleam
+import dream/services/broadcaster
+import gleam/option.{Some}
+
+fn handle_init(
+  subject: process.Subject(AppEvent),
+  deps: Dependencies,
+) -> #(State, option.Option(process.Selector(AppEvent))) {
+  let channel = broadcaster.subscribe(deps.event_bus)
+  let selector = broadcaster.channel_to_selector(channel)
+  #(State(count: 0), Some(selector))
+}
+```
+
+Now any code that calls `broadcaster.publish(event_bus, event)` will
+deliver the event to all connected SSE clients.
+
+## Client-side: EventSource
+
+Browsers have built-in SSE support via `EventSource`:
+
+```javascript
+const source = new EventSource("/events");
+
+// Listen for all events (default event type is "message")
+source.onmessage = (event) => {
+  console.log("data:", event.data);
+};
+
+// Listen for named events
+source.addEventListener("tick", (event) => {
+  console.log("tick:", event.data, "id:", event.lastEventId);
+});
+
+// Handle errors (browser reconnects automatically)
+source.onerror = (event) => {
+  console.log("SSE connection lost, reconnecting...");
+};
+```
+
+The browser automatically reconnects if the connection drops, sending
+`Last-Event-ID` so your server can resume from the right point.
+
+## Testing SSE Apps
+
+The `examples/sse` project includes **full integration tests** written
+in Gherkin (Cucumber). These tests:
+
+- Start a real Dream server.
+- Connect with HTTPoison's async streaming mode.
+- Parse SSE events from the chunked HTTP response.
+- Assert that events stream continuously without stalling.
+
+To run them:
+
+```bash
+cd examples/sse
+make test-integration
+```
+
+For unit tests, keep your SSE handlers small and pure by extracting
+logic into separate functions. You can test event construction and
+state transitions without opening real connections.
+
+## Where to Go Next
+
+- Read the source for `src/dream/servers/mist/sse.gleam` to see the full
+  API (`SSEConnection`, `Event`, `Action`, `send_event`, etc.).
+- Explore `src/dream/services/broadcaster.gleam` for the pub/sub
+  implementation.
+- Run and modify the [`examples/sse/`](../../examples/sse/) example to
+  fit your own use case.
+- Revisit the [WebSocket Guide](websockets.md) to compare SSE with
+  bi-directional connections.
+- See the [Streaming Guide](streaming.md) for chunked transfer encoding
+  and file downloads.

+
+pub fn upgrade_to_sse(
+  request: Request,
+  dependencies deps: deps,
+  on_init: fn(Subject(message), deps) -> #(state, Option(Selector(message))),
+  on_message: fn(state, message, SSEConnection, deps) -> Action(state, message),
+) -> Response
+```
+
+Upgrade an HTTP request to a Server-Sent Events connection backed by a
+dedicated OTP actor.
 
 **Parameters:**
-- `status`: HTTP status code (usually `status.ok`)
-- `stream`: Yielder generating SSE-formatted events
-- `content_type`: Usually `"text/event-stream"`
+- `request`: The incoming HTTP request
+- `dependencies`: Application dependencies passed to all handlers
+- `on_init`: Called once when the actor starts. Receives the actor's
+  `Subject(message)` for external message sending. Returns initial state
+  and optional selector.
+- `on_message`: Called for each message. Returns the next action.
+
+**Example:**
+```gleam
+import dream/servers/mist/sse
+import gleam/erlang/process
+import gleam/option.{None}
+
+pub fn handle_events(request, _context, _services) {
+  sse.upgrade_to_sse(

+    },
+    on_message: fn(count, _msg, conn, _deps) {
+      let _ = sse.send_event(conn, sse.event("ping"))
+      sse.continue_connection(count + 1)
+    },
+  )
+}
+```
+
+#### send_event
 
-**Returns:** Response with:
-- `Content-Type: text/event-stream`
-- `Cache-Control: no-cache`
-- `Connection: keep-alive`
-- Stream body
+```gleam
+pub fn send_event(connection: SSEConnection, event: Event) -> Result(Nil, Nil)
+```
+
+Send an SSE event to the client.
+
+#### event / event_name / event_id / event_retry
+
+```gleam
+pub fn event(data: String) -> Event
+pub fn event_name(event: Event, name: String) -> Event
+pub fn event_id(event: Event, id: String) -> Event
+pub fn event_retry(event: Event, retry_ms: Int) -> Event
+```
+
+Build structured SSE events. Only `event(data)` is required.
 
 **Example:**
 ```gleam
-import dream/http/response.{sse_response}
-import dream/http/status
-import gleam/yielder
+sse.event("{\"count\": 42}")
+|> sse.event_name("tick")
+|> sse.event_id("42")
+|> sse.event_retry(5000)
+```
 
-pub fn events(request, context, services) {
-  let stream =
-    services.events.subscribe()
-    |> yielder.map(format_sse_event)
-  
-  sse_response(status.ok, stream, "text/event-stream")
-}
+#### continue_connection / stop_connection
 
-fn format_sse_event(event: String) -> BitArray {
-  <<"data: ", event:utf8, "\n\n":utf8>>
-}
+```gleam
+pub fn continue_connection(state: state) -> Action(state, message)
+pub fn continue_connection_with_selector(state: state, selector: Selector(message)) -> Action(state, message)
+pub fn stop_connection() -> Action(state, message)
 ```
 
+Control the SSE actor loop. `continue_connection` keeps the actor alive,
+`stop_connection` shuts it down.

+Feature: Server-Sent Events
+
+    Background:

+
+    Scenario: SSE endpoint streams events with correct headers
+        When I connect to SSE at "/events"
+        Then the SSE response header "content-type" should contain "text/event-stream"
+        And the SSE response header "cache-control" should contain "no-cache"
+        And I should receive at least 3 SSE events within 5 seconds
+        And each event should have a "data" field
+
+    Scenario: SSE events with names and IDs
+        When I connect to SSE at "/events/named"
+        Then I should receive an SSE event with name "tick"
+        And the event should have an "id" field
+
+    Scenario: SSE events do not stall after initial events
+        When I connect to SSE at "/events"
+        And I wait for 10 events
+        Then all 10 events should arrive within 15 seconds

+# Dream 2.4.0 Release Notes
+
+**Release Date:** March 10, 2026
+
+Dream 2.4.0 introduces native Server-Sent Events (SSE) support backed by dedicated OTP actors, fixing a critical bug where SSE streams would stall after a few events. The new `dream/servers/mist/sse` module follows the same stash-and-upgrade pattern as WebSockets, giving each SSE connection its own mailbox and eliminating TCP message contention.
+
+## Key Highlights
+
+- **Native SSE support** — `upgrade_to_sse` spawns a dedicated OTP actor per connection, replacing the broken chunked encoding approach
+- **Builder-style event API** — `event`, `event_name`, `event_id`, `event_retry` for structured SSE events
+- **No closures** — explicit `dependencies` parameter, consistent with Dream's WebSocket pattern
+- **Deprecation of `sse_response`** — old function kept for compatibility but marked deprecated with migration guidance
+- **Comprehensive testing** — unit tests, tested documentation snippets, and Cucumber integration tests
+- **Full documentation** — new SSE guide, updated streaming API reference, example application
+
+## What's New
+
+### Native SSE Module: `dream/servers/mist/sse`
+
+The new module provides Dream's SSE abstraction for the Mist server adapter. It upgrades an HTTP request to an SSE connection backed by a dedicated OTP actor, avoiding the stalling issues of chunked transfer encoding.
+
+```gleam
+import dream/servers/mist/sse
+
+pub fn handle_events(request, _context, _services) {
+  sse.upgrade_to_sse(
+    request,
+    dependencies: MyDeps,
+    on_init: handle_init,
+    on_message: handle_message,
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**New Types:**
+- `sse.SSEConnection` — opaque handle to the SSE connection
+- `sse.Event` — structured SSE event built with builder functions
+- `sse.Action(state, message)` — controls the SSE actor lifecycle
+
+**Event Builders:**
+
+```gleam
+sse.event("{\"count\": 42}")
+|> sse.event_name("tick")
+|> sse.event_id("42")
+|> sse.event_retry(5000)
+```
+
+**Action Helpers:**
+- `sse.continue_connection(state)` — keep the actor running
+- `sse.continue_connection_with_selector(state, selector)` — keep running with a new selector
+- `sse.stop_connection()` — shut down the actor
+
+### SSE Example Application
+
+Added `examples/sse/` with a complete ticker application:
+- Real-time counter events streamed to connected clients
+- Named events with IDs for client-side filtering and reconnection
+- Cucumber/Gherkin integration tests using HTTPoison's async streaming
+- Scenario verifying events stream continuously without stalling
+
+### SSE Documentation
+
+- New `docs/guides/sse.md` covering SSE vs WebSockets vs streaming, the full upgrade lifecycle, event builders, broadcasting with `Subject` and `broadcaster`, client-side `EventSource`, and testing
+- Updated `docs/reference/streaming-api.md` with `upgrade_to_sse` API reference, event builder signatures, and action helper documentation
+- Updated `docs/guides/streaming.md` to direct users to the new dedicated SSE guide
+
+## Bug Fix
+
+### SSE Streams Stalling After 2–3 Events
+
+**Bug:** `response.sse_response` used `Stream(yielder)` which Mist converted to chunked transfer encoding. The yielder blocked in the mist handler process's mailbox, competing with TCP messages (ACKs, window updates). After 2–3 events the mailbox would back up and the stream would stall.
+
+**Fix:** The new `sse.upgrade_to_sse` function calls Mist's native `server_sent_events` which spawns a dedicated OTP actor with its own mailbox. SSE events and TCP messages no longer contend for the same process, eliminating the stalling entirely.
+
+## Deprecated
+
+### `response.sse_response`
+
+The `sse_response` function is deprecated. It remains available for backward compatibility but its doc comment now includes a deprecation warning directing users to `dream/servers/mist/sse.upgrade_to_sse`.
+
+**Migration:** Replace `sse_response` with `upgrade_to_sse`:
+
+```gleam
+// Before (stalls after a few events)
+import dream/http/response
+
+pub fn handle_events(request, _context, _services) {
+  response.sse_response(200, my_yielder, "text/event-stream")
+}
+
+// After (dedicated actor, no stalling)
+import dream/servers/mist/sse
+
+pub fn handle_events(request, _context, _services) {
+  sse.upgrade_to_sse(
+    request,
+    dependencies: MyDeps,
+    on_init: handle_init,
+    on_message: handle_message,
+  )
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+- Unit tests for event builders and action wrappers in `test/dream/servers/mist/sse_test.gleam`
+- Tested documentation snippets in `test/snippets/` ensuring all code examples from docs compile and run
+- Cucumber integration tests in `examples/sse/` verifying:
+  - Correct SSE response headers (`Content-Type: text/event-stream`)
+  - Events stream with expected data payloads
+  - Named events include `event:` and `id:` fields
+  - Events do not stall (the original bug scenario)
+
+## Upgrading
+
+Update your dependencies:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+dream = ">= 2.4.0 and < 3.0.0"
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+gleam deps download
+```
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+**No breaking changes!** This release is fully backward compatible.
+
+If you are currently using `sse_response`, we strongly recommend migrating to the new SSE module:
+
+1. Import the SSE module:
+   ```gleam
+   import dream/servers/mist/sse
+   ```
+
+2. Define your message type and dependencies:
+   ```gleam
+   pub type MyMessage { Tick }
+   pub type MyDeps { MyDeps }
+   ```
+
+3. Replace `sse_response` with `upgrade_to_sse`:
+   ```gleam
+   pub fn handle_events(request, _context, _services) {
+     sse.upgrade_to_sse(
+       request,
+       dependencies: MyDeps,
+       on_init: handle_init,
+       on_message: handle_message,
+     )
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. See `examples/sse/` and `docs/guides/sse.md` for a complete walkthrough.

+//// Server-Sent Events support for Dream (Mist server adapter)
+////
+//// This module provides Dream's SSE abstraction for the Mist server adapter.
+//// It upgrades an HTTP request to an SSE connection backed by a dedicated OTP
+//// actor with its own mailbox, avoiding the stalling issues of chunked
+//// transfer encoding.
+////
+//// Most applications will import this module as:
+////
+//// ```gleam
+//// import dream/servers/mist/sse
+//// ```
+////
+//// ## Concepts
+////
+//// - `SSEConnection` – opaque handle to the SSE connection. Pass it to
+////   `send_event` to write events to the client.
+//// - `Event` – a structured SSE event with data, optional name, id, and retry.
+////   Built with the `event`, `event_name`, `event_id`, and `event_retry`
+////   functions.
+//// - `Action(state, message)` – the next step in the SSE state machine,
+////   returned from your `on_message` handler.
+////
+//// The typical lifecycle is:
+////
+//// 1. Router sends a request to a controller.
+//// 2. Controller calls `upgrade_to_sse`.
+//// 3. Mist spawns a dedicated OTP actor for this connection.
+//// 4. `on_init` runs once, receiving a `Subject(message)` that external
+////    code can use to send messages into the actor.
+//// 5. `on_message` runs for each message received by the actor.
+////
+//// Handlers follow Dream's "no closures" rule: instead of capturing
+//// dependencies, you define a `Dependencies` type and pass it explicitly
+//// into `upgrade_to_sse` so every handler receives what it needs.
+////
+//// ## Example (ticker)
+////
+//// ```gleam
+//// import dream/http/request.{type Request}
+//// import dream/http/response.{type Response}

+////   subject: process.Subject(Tick),
