  // IMPORTANT: Ensure a Valkey server is running on localhost (127.0.0.1:6379).
  //
  // You can easily start one using Docker:
  // docker run -d --name my-valkey -p 6379:6379 valkey/valkey:latest

  // 1. Create a new client instance.
  final client = ValkeyClient();

    // This future completes once the socket connection is established.

    // 3. (Preview for Chapter 2)
    // Once connected, you will be able to execute commands:
    //
    // print('Sending PING...');
    // final response = await client.ping();
    // print('Server response: $response'); // Expected output: PONG

  } catch (e) {
