| Expert combines several sources of code-intelligence data: | ||
|
|
||
| - ElixirSense provides request-time suggestions, hover information, and fallback definition lookup. |

For hover data, ElixirSense is also just a fallback IIRC, similar to definition
|
|
||
| Expert starts the engine node as a separate OS process and communicates with it through distributed Erlang RPC. | ||
|
|
||
| Some distributed Erlang setups rely on the Erlang Port Mapper Daemon (EPMD), but Expert uses an EPMDless setup. `Forge.EPMD` avoids the system EPMD daemon, and `Forge.NodePortMapper` lets project nodes register their distribution ports with the manager node. This prevents stale EPMD entries and prevents nodes from different Expert instances from discovering each other accidentally. |

I wonder if we should rename Forge.EPMD to Forge.FakeEPMD or something. But it's not really related to this PR.
