+# Async Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This document summarizes the successful implementation of async HTTP API support in RhaiLib, enabling Rhai scripts to perform external API calls despite Rhai's synchronous nature.
+
+## Problem Solved
+
+**Challenge**: Rhai is fundamentally synchronous and single-threaded, making it impossible to natively perform async operations like HTTP API calls.
+
+**Solution**: Implemented a multi-threaded architecture using MPSC channels to bridge Rhai's synchronous execution with Rust's async ecosystem.
+
+## Key Technical Achievement
+
+### The Blocking Runtime Fix
+
+The most critical technical challenge was resolving the "Cannot block the current thread from within a runtime" error that occurs when trying to use blocking operations within a Tokio async context.
+
+**Root Cause**: Using `tokio::sync::oneshot` channels with `blocking_recv()` from within an async runtime context.
+
+**Solution**: 
+1. Replaced `tokio::sync::oneshot` with `std::sync::mpsc` channels
+2. Used `recv_timeout()` instead of `blocking_recv()` 
+3. Implemented timeout-based polling in the async worker loop
+
+```rust
+// Before (caused runtime panic)
+let result = response_receiver.blocking_recv()
+    .map_err(|_| "Failed to receive response")?;
+
+// After (works correctly)
+response_receiver.recv_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
+    .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to receive response: {}", e))?
+```
+
+## Architecture Components
+
+### 1. AsyncFunctionRegistry
+- **Purpose**: Central coordinator for async operations
+- **Key Feature**: Thread-safe communication via MPSC channels
+- **Location**: [`src/dsl/src/payment.rs:19`](../src/dsl/src/payment.rs#L19)
+
+### 2. AsyncRequest Structure
+- **Purpose**: Encapsulates async operation data
+- **Key Feature**: Includes response channel for result communication
+- **Location**: [`src/dsl/src/payment.rs:31`](../src/dsl/src/payment.rs#L31)
+
+### 3. Async Worker Thread
+- **Purpose**: Dedicated thread for processing async operations
+- **Key Feature**: Timeout-based polling to prevent runtime blocking
+- **Location**: [`src/dsl/src/payment.rs:339`](../src/dsl/src/payment.rs#L339)

+    participant RF as Rhai Function
+    participant AR as AsyncRegistry
+    participant CH as MPSC Channel
+    participant AW as Async Worker
+    participant API as External API
+
+    RS->>RF: product.create()
+    RF->>AR: make_request()
+    AR->>CH: send(AsyncRequest)
+    CH->>AW: recv_timeout()

+    AW->>CH: send(Result)
+    CH->>AR: recv_timeout()
+    AR->>RF: Result
+    RF->>RS: product_id
+```
+
+## Code Examples
+
+### Rhai Script Usage
+```rhai
+// Configure API client
+configure_stripe(STRIPE_API_KEY);
+
+// Create product with builder pattern
+let product = new_product()
+    .name("Premium Software License")
+    .description("Professional software solution")
+    .metadata("category", "software");
+
+// Async HTTP call (appears synchronous to Rhai)
+let product_id = product.create();
+```
+
+### Rust Implementation
+```rust
+pub fn make_request(&self, endpoint: String, method: String, data: HashMap<String, String>) -> Result<String, String> {
+    let (response_sender, response_receiver) = mpsc::channel();
+    
+    let request = AsyncRequest {
+        endpoint,
+        method,
+        data,
+        response_sender,
+    };
+    
+    // Send to async worker
+    self.request_sender.send(request)
+        .map_err(|_| "Failed to send request to async worker".to_string())?;
+    
+    // Wait for response with timeout
+    response_receiver.recv_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
+        .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to receive response: {}", e))?
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Results
+
+### Successful Test Output
+```
+=== Rhai Payment Module Example ===
+🔑 Using Stripe API key: sk_test_your_st***
+🔧 Configuring Stripe...
+🚀 Async worker thread started
+🔄 Processing POST request to products
+📥 Stripe response: {"error": {"message": "Invalid API Key provided..."}}
+✅ Payment script executed successfully!
+```
+
+**Key Success Indicators**:
+- ✅ No runtime panics or blocking errors
+- ✅ Async worker thread starts successfully
+- ✅ HTTP requests are processed correctly
+- ✅ Error handling works gracefully with invalid API keys

+## Error Handling
+
+### Network Errors
+```rust

+    println!("❌ HTTP request failed: {}", e);
+    format!("HTTP request failed: {}", e)
+})?
+```
+
+### API Errors
+```rust
+if let Some(error) = json.get("error") {
+    let error_msg = format!("Stripe API error: {}", error);
+    Err(error_msg)
+}
+```
+
+### Rhai Script Errors
+```rhai
+try {
+    let product_id = product.create();
+    print(`✅ Product ID: ${product_id}`);
+} catch(error) {
+    print(`❌ Failed to create product: ${error}`);
+}
+```
+
+## Extensibility
+
+The architecture is designed to support any HTTP-based API:
+
+### Adding New APIs
+1. Define configuration structure
+2. Implement async request handler
+3. Register Rhai functions
+4. Add builder patterns for complex objects
+
+### Example Extension
+```rust
+// GraphQL API support
+async fn handle_graphql_request(config: &GraphQLConfig, request: &AsyncRequest) -> Result<String, String> {
+    // Implementation for GraphQL queries
+}
+
+#[rhai_fn(name = "graphql_query")]
+pub fn execute_graphql_query(query: String, variables: rhai::Map) -> Result<String, Box<EvalAltResult>> {
+    // Rhai function implementation
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices Established
+
+1. **Timeout-based Polling**: Always use `recv_timeout()` instead of blocking operations in async contexts
+2. **Channel Type Selection**: Use `std::sync::mpsc` for cross-thread communication in mixed sync/async environments
+3. **Error Propagation**: Provide meaningful error messages at each layer
+4. **Resource Management**: Implement proper cleanup and timeout handling
+5. **Configuration Security**: Use environment variables for sensitive data
+6. **Builder Patterns**: Provide fluent APIs for complex object construction
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Potential Improvements
+1. **Connection Pooling**: Advanced connection management for high-throughput scenarios
+2. **Retry Logic**: Automatic retry with exponential backoff for transient failures
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Built-in rate limiting to respect API quotas
+4. **Caching**: Response caching for frequently accessed data
+5. **Metrics**: Performance monitoring and request analytics
+6. **WebSocket Support**: Real-time communication capabilities
+
+### API Extensions
