 The following intentionally differ:
 
 - **Configuration**: `lite-bootstrap` uses frozen `dataclass` configs (no `pydantic` / `pydantic-settings` runtime dependency), which is what makes it "lite". `microbootstrap` configures everything through `pydantic-settings` models.
-- **Granular extras**: `lite-bootstrap` has exactly **one** mandatory runtime dependency, the pure-Python `typing-extensions`; every instrument (`sentry`, `otl`, `logging`, `pyroscope`) and every framework (`fastapi`, `litestar`, `faststream`, `fastmcp`) is its own extra, plus an opt-in `orjson` speedup for logging, per-pair combos (`fastapi-sentry`, `litestar-otl`, `faststream-metrics`, …) and `*-all` rollups. You install only what you actually use. It also runs on free-threaded CPython (3.13t/3.14t): every extra whose dependencies are pure Python installs there, and the ones that don't are blocked upstream — `orjson` and `pyroscope` have no free-threaded wheels, and `otl` needs `grpcio`, so use `otl-http` instead. `microbootstrap` bundles the full observability stack (opentelemetry, sentry-sdk, structlog, pyroscope-io, rich, pydantic-settings, …) as base dependencies and only splits framework packages into extras.

 - **Scope**: `lite-bootstrap` is deliberately narrow — only instrument wiring. It does not include a Granian server runner or a console writer.
