Map Rust errors to descriptive Elixir error tuples.</li>\n<li>Keep NIF functions fast (&lt;1ms) to avoid scheduler issues. Use <code>#[rustler::nif(schedule = \"DirtyCpu\")]</code> for long operations.</li>\n<li>Build with <code>mix compile</code> (Rustler compiler). Test from Elixir using ExUnit.</li>\n<li>Use <code>ResourceArc&lt;T&gt;</code> for sharing Rust state across NIF calls.
