genro-asgi documentation

genro-asgi is a minimal ASGI server core: one instance-isolated server that mounts your applications, routes requests through genro-routes, and grows authentication, sessions, background tasks, OpenAPI and MCP by composition. No globals, no module state — the server is an object you build, run, and throw away.
