Bootstrap the direct RPC bridge using explicit credentials.

static func bootstrap(url: URL, username: String, password: String, timeout: Duration = .seconds(30)) async throws

Parameters

username: RPC username.
password: RPC password.
timeout: Maximum time to wait for the RPC server (default 30s).

Discussion

Polls until the RPC server is ready, then calls the hidden _bridge_init RPC via HTTP to capture the NodeContext for direct dispatch. After this method returns, the auto-detecting transport inside RPCClient(url:username:password:) routes non-wallet RPCs through DirectTransport automatically.

Throws

The last transport error if the timeout expires, or CancellationError if the task is cancelled.
