Default options applied to every IMQ service: the core queue defaults, plus cleanup enabled with a `'*:client'` filter, single-process mode, and one worker per core.

**Signature:**

```typescript
DEFAULT_IMQ_SERVICE_OPTIONS: IMQServiceOptions
```

## Remarks

Note the two deliberate overrides of the core defaults: `cleanup` is `true` (core defaults to `false`) and `cleanupFilter` is `'*:client'` (core `'*'`). So a starting service prunes abandoned client queue keys, and the filter deliberately excludes service queues.

Metrics-server defaults are not part of this object — they live in [DEFAULT\_IMQ\_METRICS\_SERVER\_OPTIONS](https://imqueue.org/api/rpc/latest/rpc.default_imq_metrics_server_options/) and are merged in separately by the service constructor.
