### Feature Details

#### 1. Basic Pub/Sub
- **Kafka Implementation**: Full async producer/consumer with aiokafka
- **InMemory Implementation**: Deque-based event history with callback invocation
- **Subscriber Registry**: Topic-based subscription with group ID support
- **Fan-out Delivery**: Multiple subscribers per topic supported

#### 2. Message Categories
Three fundamental message categories defined in `EnumMessageCategory`:

```
EVENT   - Domain events representing facts (immutable, past tense)
COMMAND - Instructions to perform actions (imperative)
INTENT  - User intents requiring interpretation (declarative)
```

**Note**: `PROJECTION` is NOT a message category. It exists only in `EnumNodeOutputType` for REDUCER node validation.

#### 3. Header Support
`ModelEventHeaders` provides 22 structured header fields:

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `correlation_id` | UUID | Yes (auto-generated) | Request correlation for tracing |
| `message_id` | UUID | Yes (auto-generated) | Unique message identifier |
| `timestamp` | datetime | Yes (auto-generated) | Message creation timestamp |
| `source` | str | Yes | Service that produced the message |
| `event_type` | str | Yes | Type identifier for the event |
| `content_type` | str | No | MIME type (default: application/json) |
| `schema_version` | str | No | Version of message schema |
| `destination` | str | No | Optional target destination |
| `trace_id` | str | No | Distributed tracing trace ID |
| `span_id` | str | No | Distributed tracing span ID |
| `parent_span_id` | str | No | Parent span for trace hierarchy |
| `operation_name` | str | No | Name of the operation being traced |
| `priority` | Literal | No | Message priority (low/normal/high/critical) |
| `routing_key` | str | No | Key for message routing |
| `partition_key` | str | No | Key for partition assignment |
| `retry_count` | int | No | Current retry attempt number |
| `max_retries` | int | No | Maximum retry attempts allowed |
| `ttl_seconds` | int | No | Message time-to-live |

#### 4. Correlation ID Tracking
- **Auto-generation**: UUID4 generated by default if not provided
- **Propagation**: Passed through all operations for distributed tracing
- **Error Context**: Included in all `ModelInfraErrorContext` instances
- **Logging**: Structured logging includes `correlation_id` in extras

#### 5. Circuit Breaker
`MixinAsyncCircuitBreaker` provides:
- **3-State Pattern**: CLOSED (normal) -> OPEN (blocked) -> HALF_OPEN (testing)
- **Thread-Safe**: Uses `asyncio.Lock` for concurrent access
- **Configurable Thresholds**: `circuit_breaker_threshold` (default: 5)
- **Auto-Reset**: `circuit_breaker_reset_timeout` (default: 30.0 seconds)
- **Transport-Aware**: Supports all `EnumInfraTransportType` values

#### 6. Retry with Exponential Backoff
- **Configurable Attempts**: `max_retry_attempts` (default: 3, range: 0-10)
- **Backoff Base**: `retry_backoff_base` (default: 1.0 seconds)
- **Jitter**: Random jitter (0.5-1.5x) to prevent thundering herd
- **Formula**: `delay = base * (2^attempt) * jitter`

#### 7. Dead Letter Queue
- **Configuration**: `KAFKA_DEAD_LETTER_TOPIC` environment variable
- **Failure Metadata**: Original topic, message, failure reason, timestamp, correlation_id, retry_count, error_type
- **Best-Effort**: DLQ publish failures are logged but don't crash consumer
- **Headers**: Extended with `original_topic`, `failure_reason`, `failure_timestamp`

#### 8. InMemory Implementation
Designed for local development and testing:
- **Event History**: Configurable deque-based circular buffer (default: 1000 messages)
- **FIFO Ordering**: Messages delivered in order per subscriber
- **Circuit Breaker**: Per-subscriber failure tracking with circuit open on threshold
- **No External Dependencies**: Pure Python implementation

#### 9. Kafka Implementation
Production-grade with resilience patterns:
- **aiokafka**: Async Kafka client for Python
- **Producer Settings**: acks, idempotence, partitioning
- **Consumer Settings**: auto_offset_reset, enable_auto_commit
- **Environment-Aware**: Environment/group-based topic routing
