Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 106: Update the PubNub delivery statement to qualify at-most-once
delivery as applying during a stable connection, and note that reconnect replay
may deliver a message again with the same timetoken.
- Around line 60-63: Update the README example’s pubnub.publish and subscription
flow to use one bounded wait that handles both publish rejection and missing
message delivery. Perform subscription, listener, and client cleanup in a
finally path so it runs on success, failure, or timeout.

Bound the example and clean up on every completion path.
pubnub.publish() can reject before onMessage runs. The suggested catch handles that path, but a successful publish does not guarantee message delivery. Without a timeout, the example can wait indefinitely with its subscription and client active. Route publish failures into one bounded wait, then perform cleanup in finally.

| ## Delivery | ||
|
|
||
| Live delivery through PubNub SDKs is at-most-once. A subscriber can miss messages if its buffer overflows or if it is disconnected when a message is published. For recovery after longer gaps, see [Message Persistence](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/javascript/api-reference/storage-and-playback). |

Qualify the at-most-once delivery statement.
Line 106 does not limit the guarantee to a stable connection. After reconnect, the SDK can replay a message with the same timetoken, so a handler may receive it again. State the stable-connection qualification and mention possible replay after reconnect. (pubnub.com)
