Research direction
The issue references an external discussion about combining Broadcast and ConsistentHashableEnvelope. A first step would be to review that discussion (linked in the issue body) to understand the desired behavior and potential implementation approach. Then examine the current implementation of BroadcastRouter and ConsistentHashableEnvelope in the Akka codebase to identify where changes would be needed. The issue lacks detailed requirements, so clarifying the expected semantics is critical before coding.
