Function connect

connect(opts: NatsConnectOptions): Promise<NatsConnection>
Connects to a NATS server, authenticates, and returns a live connection.

Dials the core transport (implicit TLS when tls: 'implicit', otherwise plaintext that may be upgraded), reads the server INFO, performs a STARTTLS-style upgrade when requested or required, sends CONNECT + PING, and waits for PONG so an auth failure surfaces here as AuthError. A background pump then routes incoming messages to subscriptions.
Parameters
- opts: NatsConnectOptions
  Connection and credential options.
Returns Promise<NatsConnection>
The live connection.
Throws
If the server rejects the credentials.

Throws
If the connection cannot be established.

Throws
If the server speaks the protocol incorrectly.

Throws
If the handshake exceeds the deadline.

Since
1.0.0
Example
```
import { connect } from 'edgeport/nats';

await using nc = await connect({ hostname: 'nats.example.com', token: 'secret' });
await using sub = nc.subscribe('updates.>');
await nc.publish('updates.temp', '21.5');
for await (const msg of sub) {
	console.log(msg.subject, new TextDecoder().decode(msg.data));
	break;
}
```
