Protocols Redis RESP, Bolt, HTTP/REST
Core queries use Redis RESP (port 6379) with experimental, not-production-ready Bolt support (port 7687); accepted pass_B's addition of HTTP/REST since FalkorDB's docs list a REST API as an official integration path recommended for web applications, served by the bundled FalkorDB Browser component (port 3000) rather than the core RESP/Bolt server.
