+# @suaveplan/network-transport-standby - Pre-emptive WebRTC standby transport: warm-slot connection pool with health scoring and auto-reconnect for sub-100ms peer attach
+
+## Summary
+
+Pre-emptive WebRTC standby transport for `@suaveplan/network`. Maintains
+a pool of warm `RTCPeerConnection`-like slots so peer attach completes
+in ~10 ms instead of the typical 1-3 s ICE/DTLS handshake.

+# errors
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+This module defines the structured error vocabulary for
+`@suaveplan/network-transport-standby`. Every public boundary that can
+fail surfaces an instance of `NetStandbyError` carrying one of six
+fixed codes, so consumers branch on `error.code` rather than parsing
+free-form messages. The registry is created via `defineCodes` from
+`@suaveplan/error` so the codes are typed at the call site and the
+literal strings (`"NET_STANDBY.POOL_EXHAUSTED"` and friends) are
+guaranteed unique across the project.
+
+## Features
+
+- Six frozen, type-safe codes covering pool, slot, configuration and
+  lifecycle failure modes.
+- `NetStandbyError` extends `SuaveplanError` so cause chains, message
+  keys, context dictionaries and OTel span-event adapters work out of
+  the box.
+- Class `name` is set explicitly so logs and crash reports can tell
+  this error class apart from sibling network errors.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { NET_STANDBY_CODES, NetStandbyError } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+throw new NetStandbyError(
+    NET_STANDBY_CODES.POOL_EXHAUSTED,
+    "standby.pool-exhausted",
+    { context: { maxSlots: 8 } }
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+try {
+    await pool.promote("peer-7");
+} catch (err) {
+    if (err instanceof NetStandbyError) {
+        switch (err.code) {
+            case NET_STANDBY_CODES.POOL_EXHAUSTED:
+                metrics.exhausted.inc();
+                break;
+            case NET_STANDBY_CODES.PROMOTION_FAILED:
+                logger.warn({ cause: err.cause }, "promotion failed");
+                break;
+            default:
+                throw err;
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `NET_STANDBY_CODES` — `Readonly<Record<Code, string>>` registry of
+  the six codes.
+- `type NetStandbyErrorCode` — string-literal union of the registry
+  values.
+- `class NetStandbyError extends SuaveplanError<NetStandbyErrorCode>`
+  with `constructor(code, messageKey, options?)` where `options`
+  matches `SuaveplanErrorOptions` (`cause`, `context`).
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The codes are deliberately small and orthogonal. `POOL_EXHAUSTED`
+fires when no slot can be allocated; `SLOT_UNHEALTHY` covers per-slot
+health degradation; `PROMOTION_FAILED` is reserved for the moment
+between "slot exists" and "slot is bound to a peer";
+`INVALID_OPTIONS` wraps Zod parse failures; `DISPOSED` and
+`NOT_RUNNING` model lifecycle violations. Add new codes sparingly —
+each new code is a public contract the entire ecosystem branches on,
+and removing one is a breaking change.

+# health/monitor
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+This module is the health-scoring kernel for `StandbyPool`. It owns
+an exponentially-weighted moving-average (EMA) state tied to every
+slot and translates raw round-trip-time / jitter / loss samples into a
+single 0–100 quality score the pool can threshold against. Keeping the
+scorer side-effect-free means the pool can call it from synchronous
+code paths (`recordSample`, scheduled sweeps) and the same arithmetic
+can be exercised under `fast-check` property tests without dragging
+the transport, scheduler or any I/O into the loop.
+
+## Features
+
+- Pure-function EMA combinator with a frozen `α = 0.3` smoothing
+  factor — responsive enough to catch sustained degradation, stable
+  enough to ignore single-sample spikes.
+- Input clamping so a malformed sample (negative RTT, loss > 1)
+  cannot corrupt the state.
+- Composite scorer that weights RTT 60%, jitter 20%, loss 20% and
+  caps every penalty so the score stays in `[0, 100]`.
+- Deep-frozen result objects — callers may safely retain references
+  across update cycles.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { applyHealthSample, initialHealthState, isHealthy } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+let state = initialHealthState();
+state = applyHealthSample(state, { rttMs: 35, jitterMs: 3, lossRate: 0 });
+console.log(isHealthy(state, 50));  // true
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+function scoreStream(samples: HealthSample[], threshold: number): boolean {
+    let state = initialHealthState();
+    for (const sample of samples) {
+        state = applyHealthSample(state, sample);
+        if (!isHealthy(state, threshold)) {
+            return false;
+        }
+    }
+    return true;
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `initialHealthState(): HealthState` — frozen seed (`quality = 100`).
+- `applyHealthSample(prev, sample): HealthState` — apply one sample
+  and return a fresh frozen snapshot.
+- `isHealthy(state, threshold): boolean` — compare `state.quality`
+  against the integer threshold.
+- `interface HealthSample` and `interface HealthState` — both
+  readonly.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The EMA is initialised at zero — not at the first sample — so a
+freshly-warmed slot's quality is 100 right out of the gate and a
+single high-RTT sample cannot evict it. The first three samples
+typically suffice to push the EMA into a representative steady state.
+The composite scorer's weights are tuned for typical WebRTC data
+channels; consumers with different transport characteristics should
+fork the scorer rather than override the weights at runtime.

+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+This module hosts every OpenTelemetry instrument the standby package
+emits. Centralising the tracer, meter and instrument handles in a
+single module gives the package one definitive list of observable
+signals and lets the pool, transport and reconnect modules add to the
+metrics surface without each rebuilding its own meter. The gauge,
+counters and histogram align with the metric names declared in the
+parent change proposal so dashboards and alerts can be defined once
+across every transport in the network family.
+
+## Features
+
+- Up-down counter `standby.warm_slots` tracking the live count of
+  warm-but-not-active slots.
+- Counter `standby.promotions_total` labelled by `outcome ∈
+  {"ok","error"}` for the success rate of promotions.
+- Counter `standby.evictions_total` labelled by free-form `reason` so
+  consumers can split by `"unhealthy"`, `"shutdown"`, `"manual"`,
+  `"idle"`.
+- Histogram `standby.warmup_duration_ms` capturing the wall-clock
+  cost of every warm-up handshake.
+- `withStandbySpan` helper that starts an active span, runs an async
+  body, and ends the span on both success and failure.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { recordPromotion, withStandbySpan } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+await withStandbySpan("standby.promote", async (span) => {
+    span.setAttribute("peer.id", "peer-7");
+    recordPromotion("ok");
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    adjustWarmSlots,
+    recordEviction,
+    recordWarmupDuration,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+function onSlotWarmed(durationMs: number): void {
+    recordWarmupDuration(durationMs);
+    adjustWarmSlots(+1);
+}
+
+function onSlotDropped(reason: "unhealthy" | "shutdown" | "manual"): void {
+    adjustWarmSlots(-1);
+    recordEviction(reason);
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `withStandbySpan(name, fn)` — wraps an async body in an active
+  span; rethrows any error after ending the span.
+- `adjustWarmSlots(delta)` — adjust the warm-slots gauge.
+- `recordPromotion(outcome)` — increment the promotions counter.
+- `recordEviction(reason)` — increment the evictions counter.
+- `recordWarmupDuration(ms)` — record a non-negative sample on the
+  warmup histogram (negative input is clamped to zero).
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Span attributes are set by callers, not here, so each call site can
+record the most relevant context (`peer.id`, `slot.id`). Counter
+labels are kept low-cardinality on purpose: `outcome` is binary and
+`reason` is drawn from a small fixed enum. Adding wide-cardinality
+labels (peer ids, slot ids) would explode the metrics index and
+should be done with a span attribute instead.

+# plugin
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+`StandbyPlugin` is the `NetworkPlugin` wrapper for `StandbyTransport`.
+It mirrors the `WebRTCPlugin` and `WebSocketPlugin` shapes from the
+sibling transport packages exactly so that the
+`network-plugin-transport-manager` and any other plugin host treats
+the standby transport uniformly with every other transport in the
+network family. The wrapper is intentionally thin — it owns no state
+beyond the node reference and a `disposed` flag.
+
+## Features
+
+- Stable `name = "standby"` — the value the host node keys plugins by.
+- `install(node)` registers the underlying `StandbyTransport` with
+  the node's router so the unicast path can find it by id.
+- `start()` warms the pool to `minSlots` lazily; consumers may also
+  start the transport directly.
+- `stop()` closes the transport and unregisters it from the node so
+  the next `install` is idempotent.
+- `dispose()` releases the node reference; safe to call multiple
+  times.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { NetworkNode } from "@suaveplan/network";
+import { StandbyPlugin } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+const node = new NetworkNode();
+const plugin = new StandbyPlugin({
+    pool: { config, rtcFactory },
+});
+node.use(plugin);
+await node.start();
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const standby = new StandbyPlugin({
+    pool: {
+        config,
+        rtcFactory: makeRtcConnection,
+        onWarm: (slot) => bus.emit("transport:standby:warm", slot.id),
+    },
+});
+
+node.use(standby);
+await node.start();
+
+// Later — graceful shutdown propagates through node -> plugin -> transport.
+await node.stop();
+standby.dispose();
+await node.dispose();
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `new StandbyPlugin(config: StandbyTransportConfig)` — same config
+  shape as `StandbyTransport`. The constructor builds the transport
+  immediately so `plugin.transport` is observable before `install`.
+- `name: "standby"` — read-only.
+- `transport: StandbyTransport` — public so consumers can wire
+  bus events or inspect the pool.
+- `install(node): void` — registers the transport with the node's
+  router.
+- `start(): Promise<void>` — warms the pool.
+- `stop(): Promise<void>` — closes the transport and unregisters.
+- `dispose(): void` — releases the node reference (idempotent).
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`install` stores the node reference and registers the transport in a
+single synchronous call so `start()` can run as part of the host's
+plugin-lifecycle batch without retrying. `stop()` deliberately does
+NOT call `dispose()` — the lifecycle separation matches the
+`NetworkPlugin` contract: `stop` halts active work, `dispose`
+relinquishes resources. The wrapper holds no extra state beyond the
+node reference, so the pool / transport remain the canonical source
+of truth for slot data.

+# pool
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+`StandbyPool` is the connection-pool engine at the heart of this
+package. It maintains a configurable number of warm WebRTC-like
+slots so a downstream consumer can promote one to an active peer
+in well under 100 ms, sidestepping the typical 1–3 s ICE/DTLS
+handshake. The pool is transport-agnostic — it accepts an injectable
+`RtcConnectionFactory` so the same code drives production
+`RTCPeerConnection` factories and deterministic test fakes built on
+plain JavaScript objects.
+
+## Features
+
+- Configurable `minSlots` / `maxSlots` with cross-field invariant
+  validation via Zod.
+- Promotion-friendly fast path: `pool.promote(peerId)` first looks for
+  a warm slot, then warms a cold one if capacity remains.
+- EMA-smoothed per-slot health scoring via the `health/monitor`
+  module; samples below `qualityThreshold` evict inline.
+- Mutex-serialised top-up so two concurrent eviction events cannot
+  over-warm past `maxSlots`.
+- Auto-eviction observer wired into every connection's
+  `onstatechange` so slots whose channel goes to `failed` / `closed`
+  / `disconnected` are removed without polling.
+- Periodic idle sweep over the injected `Scheduler` from
+  `@suaveplan/timing` (interval configurable; `0` disables).
+- Optional `onWarm`, `onPromoted`, `onEvicted` hooks for callers that
+  want to wire bus events or extra telemetry.
+- Full OTel surface — gauge, counters, histogram, span helper.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { StandbyPool } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+const pool = new StandbyPool({
+    config: {
+        minSlots: 4,
+        maxSlots: 8,
+        warmupTimeoutMs: 5_000,
+        healthCheckIntervalMs: 30_000,
+        qualityThreshold: 50,
+        maxReconnectAttempts: 3,
+        reconnectBaseDelayMs: 1_000,
+        reconnectMaxDelayMs: 30_000,
+    },
+    rtcFactory: async (slotId) => makeRealPeerConnection(slotId),
+});
+
+await pool.start();
+const slot = await pool.promote("peer-42");
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const pool = new StandbyPool({
+    config,
+    rtcFactory,
+    clock: () => testClock.nowMs(),
+    scheduler: testScheduler,
+    onWarm: (slot) => bus.emit("transport:standby:warm", slot.id),
+    onPromoted: (slot) => bus.emit("transport:standby:promoted", slot),
+    onEvicted: (id, reason) => bus.emit("transport:standby:evicted", id, reason),
+});
+
+await pool.start(ac.signal);
+pool.recordSample(slot.id, { rttMs: 35, jitterMs: 3, lossRate: 0 });
+pool.runIdleSweepNow();
+await pool.dispose();
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `new StandbyPool(options)` — validates config via Zod; throws
+  `INVALID_OPTIONS` on parse failure.
+- `start(signal?): Promise<void>`, `stop(): Promise<void>`,
+  `dispose(): Promise<void>` — lifecycle, all idempotent.
+- `promote(peerId): Promise<StandbySlot>` — returns active slot;
+  throws `POOL_EXHAUSTED` or `PROMOTION_FAILED`.
+- `release(slotId): void` — return active slot to warm; graceful
+  no-op when pool stopped or slot unknown.
+- `recordSample(slotId, sample): StandbySlot | null` — apply health
+  sample; returns `null` if the slot was evicted inline.
+- `runIdleSweepNow(): void` — synchronous sweep over all slots.
+- `evict(slotId, reason?): void`, `getStats(): PoolStats`,
+  `warmSlots()`, `activeSlots()`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Eviction is the trickiest path. Re-entrancy via the connection's
+`onstatechange` observer is neutralised by deleting from the slot
+map AND detaching the observer before invoking `connection.close()`.
+The mutex on `#topUpInflight` is critical: without it, two
+back-to-back evictions would each launch a parallel ensureMinimum,
+both observing the same stale warm count and over-allocating. The
+pool exposes both warm and active sets so consumers can compute
+load-balancing decisions without recomputing state.

+# reconnect
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+This module wraps `@suaveplan/retry`'s exponential-backoff policy in
+an `AbortSignal`-aware retry loop tuned for the standby transport's
+reconnect requirements. Rather than re-implement the canonical
+backoff + jitter loop, it delegates the delay calculation to the
+shared `createExponentialBackoff` helper and focuses on the cancel
+semantics: any abort during execution, inside a sleep, or just after
+a thrown attempt must short-circuit the loop without spending another
+attempt budget.
+
+## Features
+
+- Equal-jitter exponential backoff via the canonical retry package —
+  no ad-hoc `Math.min(base * 2^n, cap)` reimplementation.
+- AbortSignal honoured at every checkpoint (entry, after a failed
+  attempt, during the sleep between attempts).
+- On exhaustion, throws a typed `NetStandbyError` with code
+  `PROMOTION_FAILED` and the original cause preserved.
+- Pure function — no internal timers retained after return, so the
+  loop is safe to invoke from any caller stack.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { runReconnectLoop } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+const ac = new AbortController();
+await runReconnectLoop(
+    async (attempt) => {
+        await dialPeer(`peer-1`);
+    },
+    { maxAttempts: 5, baseDelayMs: 200, maxDelayMs: 5_000 },
+    ac.signal
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+async function reconnectWithReseed(
+    seed: () => Promise<void>,
+    signal: AbortSignal
+): Promise<void> {
+    let attempts = 0;
+    try {
+        await runReconnectLoop(
+            async (n) => {
+                attempts = n;
+                await seed();
+            },
+            { maxAttempts: 8, baseDelayMs: 500, maxDelayMs: 30_000 },
+            signal
+        );
+    } catch (err) {
+        log.warn({ attempts, err }, "reconnect exhausted");
+        throw err;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `interface ReconnectOptions` — `{ maxAttempts, baseDelayMs,
+  maxDelayMs }`. All non-negative integers; `baseDelayMs <=
+  maxDelayMs` for monotonic growth.
+- `type ReconnectWork` — `(attempt, signal) => Promise<void>`.
+- `runReconnectLoop(work, options, signal): Promise<void>` — drives
+  `work` with exponential-backoff between failures.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The internal `sleep` helper is intentionally narrow: it adds a single
+`abort` listener with `{ once: true }` so the listener self-cleans
+when the timer fires first. Because the outer loop pre-checks
+`signal.aborted` we never enter `sleep` with an already-aborted
+signal — the helper trusts that invariant rather than re-checking and
+opening a branch the test suite cannot reach. The cause chain on
+`PROMOTION_FAILED` preserves the most-recent thrown error so
+observers can distinguish a network-level failure from a
+configuration-level one.

+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+`StandbyTransport` is the `Transport` adapter from `@suaveplan/network`
+backed by a `StandbyPool`. Every `connect(peerId, address)` either
+promotes a warm slot to active (the hot path, sub-100 ms) or warms a
+cold one through the pool if no warm slot exists and capacity remains.
+The transport layers message encoding, peer-event fan-out and
+graceful eviction handling on top of the pool's lifecycle so the
+upstream `NetworkNode` router can treat the standby transport
+identically to `WebRTCTransport` or `WebSocketTransport`.
+
+## Features
+
+- Implements every method of `Transport` (`connect`, `disconnect`,
+  `send`, `onMessage`, `onPeerEvent`, `getConnectedPeers`, `close`).
+- Pluggable `encode` / `decode` hooks — defaults are `JSON.stringify`
+  / `JSON.parse`, drop-in replacements (msgpack, protobuf) wire in
+  via constructor options.
+- Forwards `onPromoted` / `onEvicted` from the pool, mirroring them
+  as `"connected"` / `"disconnected"` peer events so router-level
+  topology updates fire as soon as the slot transitions.
+- Idempotent `connect(peerId)` — repeated calls for the same peer
+  return without warming an additional slot.
+- `close()` disposes the underlying pool, clears every handler and
+  emits a final `disconnected` for each active peer.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { StandbyTransport } from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+const transport = new StandbyTransport({
+    pool: {
+        config: { /* StandbyPoolConfig */ },
+        rtcFactory: makeRtcConnection,
+    },
+});
+await transport.start();
+await transport.connect("peer-7", "stun:example.com");
+await transport.send("peer-7", envelope);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+const transport = new StandbyTransport({
+    pool: {
+        config,
+        rtcFactory,
+        onPromoted: (slot) => audit.log({ event: "promoted", slot }),
+    },
+    encode: (envelope) => msgpack.encode(envelope),
+    decode: (raw) =>
+        raw instanceof Uint8Array ? (msgpack.decode(raw) as MessageEnvelope) : null,
+});
+
+const offMsg = transport.onMessage((peerId, env) => router.dispatch(peerId, env));
+const offPeer = transport.onPeerEvent((peerId, ev) => topology.update(peerId, ev));
+await transport.start();
+// ... later
+offMsg();
+offPeer();
+await transport.close();
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `new StandbyTransport(config: StandbyTransportConfig)` — `config.pool`
+  is forwarded verbatim to `StandbyPool`; `config.encode` / `decode`
+  are optional.
+- `start(signal?): Promise<void>` — warms the pool.
+- `connect(peerId, address): Promise<void>` — promotes a warm slot.
+- `disconnect(peerId): Promise<void>` — releases the slot and emits
+  the disconnect event.
+- `send(peerId, envelope): Promise<void>` — encodes and forwards
+  over the slot's connection.
+- `onMessage(handler)` / `onPeerEvent(handler)` — return unsubscribe
+  functions.
+- `getConnectedPeers(): readonly PeerId[]`.
+- `close(): Promise<void>` — terminal teardown.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The transport never holds a stale `onmessage` closure on the
+underlying connection: each `connect` saves the previous handler and
+restores it on `disconnect`. Eviction events from the pool are
+routed through `#handleEviction`, which removes the matching peer
+from the registry and emits the disconnect event so the router does
+not need to poll. The error envelope is intentionally narrow — every
+boundary failure raises `NetStandbyError`, never a raw `Error` — so
+the consumer never has to introspect free-form messages.

+# types
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+## Purpose
+
+This module is the single home of every shared type the standby
+transport publishes. Keeping the type surface in a leaf module lets
+the implementation files import only the names they need, keeps the
+public API discoverable at a glance, and gives downstream consumers a
+single import target for ambient declarations and discriminated
+unions.
+
+## Features
+
+- `SlotState` discriminated union — `"warming" | "warm" | "active" |
+  "unhealthy" | "closed"` — drives every state-machine branch in the
+  pool.
+- `RtcConnectionLike` / `RtcConnectionFactory` — minimal mockable
+  WebRTC peer-connection shape so production wires to
+  `RTCPeerConnection` and tests wire to deterministic fakes built on
+  plain objects.
+- `StandbySlot` — frozen record carrying every per-slot field the
+  pool tracks (state, connection handle, EMA health, peer binding).
+- `StandbyPoolConfig` — exhaustive configuration shape paired with a
+  Zod schema (see `types/standby.schemas.ts`).
+- `ConnectionRequest`, `PoolStats`, `StandbyBusEvent`, `StandbyDeps`
+  and the four handler-typedef aliases (`PromotionHandler`,
+  `EvictionHandler`, `MessageHandler`, `PeerEventHandler`).
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    StandbySlot,
+    StandbyPoolConfig,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+const config: StandbyPoolConfig = {
+    minSlots: 4,
+    maxSlots: 8,
+    warmupTimeoutMs: 5_000,
+    healthCheckIntervalMs: 30_000,
+    qualityThreshold: 50,
+    maxReconnectAttempts: 3,
+    reconnectBaseDelayMs: 1_000,
+    reconnectMaxDelayMs: 30_000,
+};
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    RtcConnectionFactory,
+    PromotionHandler,
+    EvictionHandler,
+} from "@suaveplan/network-transport-standby";
+
+const factory: RtcConnectionFactory = async (slotId, signal) => {
+    signal?.throwIfAborted();
+    return makePeerConnection(slotId);
+};
+
+const onPromoted: PromotionHandler = (slot) => audit.log(slot.peerId);
+const onEvicted: EvictionHandler = (id, reason) =>
+    audit.log({ slot: id, reason });
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `type SlotState` — discriminated union of slot lifecycle states.
+- `interface RtcConnectionLike` — `close` / `send` / `connectionState`
+  / `onmessage` / `onstatechange`.
+- `type RtcConnectionFactory` — async constructor accepting `slotId`
+  and optional `AbortSignal`.
+- `interface StandbySlot` — read-only public projection of every
+  slot in the pool.
+- `interface StandbyPoolConfig` — eight required numeric fields.
+- `interface ConnectionRequest` — `peerId` plus optional `priority`
+  and `metadata`.
+- `interface PoolStats` — snapshot stats from `pool.getStats()`.
+- `type StandbyBusEvent` — discriminated union of optional bus
+  payloads.
+- `interface StandbyDeps` — injectable collaborators (`clock`,
+  `rtcFactory`).
+- `type PromotionHandler`, `EvictionHandler`, `MessageHandler`,
+  `PeerEventHandler` — callback signatures.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+All record shapes are declared `readonly` so consumers cannot mutate
+slots they hold a reference to. `RtcConnectionLike` is the narrowest
+subset of `RTCPeerConnection` that the pool needs — keeping the shim
+small means tests stay tiny and the production adapter is a thin
+wrapper, not a translation layer. The `StandbyDeps` bundle is the
+canonical seam for dependency injection; new collaborators should be
+added here so every internal module gains them in one place.
