+## Install
+
+```bash
+bun add @suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback
+```
+
+## URI grammar
+
+```text
+fallback://?u=<pct-encoded-uri>&u=<pct-encoded-uri>[&u=...]
+```
+
+- Always empty authority and empty path.
+- One or more ordered `u=` parameters.
+- Encoding via `URLSearchParams` (RFC 3986-compliant).
+- Default `maxCandidates` is 16; hard ceiling 64.
+- Each candidate may itself be a `fallback://` URI (nested up to
+  `policy.maxDepth`, default 4 / hard ceiling 8).
+
+Use the bundled `buildFallbackUri` helper rather than handcrafting:
+
+```ts
+import { buildFallbackUri } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback";
+
+const uri = buildFallbackUri([
+    "cdn://zone-eu/avatars/alice.jpg",
+    "drive://primary/avatars/alice.jpg",
+]);
+```
+
+## Simple example
+
+```ts
+import { createStorageUriResolver } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri";
+import {
+    buildFallbackUri,
+    fallbackUriPlugin,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback";
+
+// Late-bind the resolver so the fallback plugin can recurse through it.
+let resolver: ReturnType<typeof createStorageUriResolver> | undefined;
+const lazy = new Proxy({}, {
+    get(_t, prop) {
+        const v = (resolver as unknown as Record<string, unknown>)[prop as string];
+        return typeof v === "function" ? v.bind(resolver) : v;
+    },
+}) as ReturnType<typeof createStorageUriResolver>;
+
+resolver = createStorageUriResolver([
+    cdnPlugin,
+    drivePlugin,
+    fallbackUriPlugin({ resolver: lazy }),
+]);
+
+const uri = buildFallbackUri([
+    "cdn://zone-eu/avatars/alice.jpg",
+    "drive://primary/avatars/alice.jpg",
+]);
+const bytes = await resolver.read(uri);
+```
+
+## Advanced example — mirror writes + dedup list
+
+```ts
+import { createEventBus } from "@suaveplan/events";
+import {
+    buildFallbackUri,
+    fallbackUriPlugin,
+    type FallbackEventMap,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback";
+
+const bus = createEventBus<FallbackEventMap>();
+bus.on("storage-uri.fallback.write-mirror-partial", (p) => {
+    console.warn("mirror drift:", p);
+});
+
+const plugin = fallbackUriPlugin({
+    resolver,
+    policy: {
+        writeMode: "all",
+        listFailureMode: "partial",
+        maxParallel: 2,
+    },
+    events: bus,
+});
+
+const uri = buildFallbackUri([
+    "cdn://zone-eu/photos/2026/",
+    "drive://primary/photos/2026/",
+]);
+await resolver.write(uri, photoBytes);   // mirrors to both
+const { uris } = await resolver.list(uri); // union, deduped
+```

+## Policy reference
+
+| Knob | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `errorClass` | `"transient"` | `"any"` re-classifies semantic errors as fall-through |
+| `maxParallel` | `1` | `>1` enables `Promise.any`-style race |
+| `stopOnAbort` | `true` | `false` lets the current candidate finish before throwing `ABORTED` |
+| `writeMode` | `"all"` | `"first-success"` returns on first ok + background remainder |
+| `deleteMode` | `"any-success"` | `"all"` raises `WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED` on any reject |
+| `listMode` | `"union"` | `"concat"` returns raw concatenation |
+| `listFailureMode` | `"throw"` | `"partial"` skips failed legs |
+| `maxDepth` | `4` | Hard ceiling 8 |
+| `maxCandidates` | `16` | Hard ceiling 64 |
+
+## Error codes
+
+`FALLBACK_URI.NO_CANDIDATES`, `INVALID_URI`, `ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED`,
+`WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED`, `LIST_UNION_FAILED`, `ABORTED`,
+`MAX_DEPTH_EXCEEDED`, `CIRCULAR_REFERENCE` — every code is reachable
+from a real call site exercised by the test suite.
+
+## Complementarity with `@suaveplan/storage-mux`
+
+`storage-mux` composes pre-constructed `StorageLike` backends at the
+adapter layer; `storage-uri-plugin-fallback` composes URI strings at the
+scheme layer. They share a classification table so transient/semantic/
+abort semantics line up across the stack. Use `storage-mux` when you
+own the backend instances; use `fallback://` when callsites receive
+URIs from manifests, config, or the wire.

+# classify
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `classify` module hosts the pure error-classification function that
+governs fall-through eligibility for every walk strategy. It maps an
+arbitrary throwable into one of three classes — `"transient"`,
+`"semantic"`, or `"abort"` — based on the error's namespaced code, its
+shape (`AbortError` name), and the configured `FallbackPolicy.errorClass`
+knob. The function is deterministic and side-effect-free.
+
+## Features
+
+- Recognises `STORAGE_URI.ABORTED` and `FALLBACK_URI.ABORTED` as
+  `"abort"`.
+- Treats `MAX_DEPTH_EXCEEDED` and `CIRCULAR_REFERENCE` as `"semantic"`
+  regardless of policy (programmer-bug surfaces must not silently fall
+  through).
+- Maps `STORAGE_URI.ADAPTER_ERROR` and `STORAGE_URI.NOT_FOUND` to
+  `"transient"` by default.
+- Treats other `STORAGE_URI.*` semantic codes (UNKNOWN_SCHEME,
+  INVALID_URI, WRITE_UNSUPPORTED, LIST_UNSUPPORTED, SCHEME_CONFLICT) as
+  `"semantic"` under default policy and `"transient"` under
+  `errorClass: "any"`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { classify } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/classify";
+
+const klass = classify(err, policy);
+if (klass === "abort") throw err;
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { classify } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/classify";
+import { FallbackPolicySchema } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/types";
+
+const relaxed = FallbackPolicySchema.parse({ errorClass: "any" });
+for (const err of collected) {
+    if (classify(err, relaxed) === "transient") continue;
+    throw err;
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `ErrorClass` — `"transient" | "semantic" | "abort"`.
+- `classify(err: unknown, policy: FallbackPolicy): ErrorClass`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The classifier never re-throws; callers own the decision to surface or
+swallow. Unknown thrown values default to `"transient"` because the
+resolver normalises foreign throwables into `STORAGE_URI.ADAPTER_ERROR`
+upstream of the walk, so the unknown branch is a safety net for
+deliberately bypassed paths (e.g. a candidate plugin that throws a plain
+`Error` synchronously inside its `parse`).
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# conformance/fallback-conformance
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `fallback-conformance` module exports `runFallbackConformance`, a
+black-box harness consumers call from their own integration tests to
+prove their wiring honours the `fallback://` plugin's contract end-to-
+end. The harness exercises the K-fail-then-success path, the
+all-candidates-fail path, pre-aborted signal short-circuit, cycle
+detection, and mirror-write fan-out — the five end-to-end invariants
+every consumer should keep green.
+
+## Features
+
+- Asserts presence of the `fallback` scheme on the supplied resolver.
+- Verifies first-success on a mixed walk.
+- Verifies `ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED` with N entries on full failure.
+- Verifies `ABORTED` on a pre-aborted signal.
+- Verifies cycle / recursion-protection surfaces a structured error.
+- Verifies mirror writes propagate to every leg via direct reads.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { runFallbackConformance } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/conformance";
+
+await runFallbackConformance(resolver, {
+    successCandidates: ["mem://k/seed", "mem2://k/v"],
+    failureCandidates: ["mem://k/missing", "mem://k/also-missing"],
+    expectedSecondBytes: new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]),
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    FallbackConformanceFailure,
+    runFallbackConformance,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/conformance";
+
+try {
+    await runFallbackConformance(resolver, fixtures);
+} catch (e) {
+    if (e instanceof FallbackConformanceFailure) {
+        console.error("wiring drift:", e.message);
+        process.exitCode = 1;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `runFallbackConformance(resolver, fixtures): Promise<void>`
+- `FallbackConformanceFixtures` — `{ successCandidates, failureCandidates,
+  expectedSecondBytes, events? }`.
+- `FallbackConformanceFailure` — thrown when an expectation is violated.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The harness is intentionally lenient on the cycle-detection path: an
+implementation may surface either `CIRCULAR_REFERENCE` or
+`ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED` depending on whether the cycling candidates
+resolve through a transient walker first. Consumers needing strict
+behaviour can wrap the harness call with stricter assertions of their
+own.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# error-codes

+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `error-codes` module hosts the structured-error registry for the
+`@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback` package. It declares the eight
+canonical `FALLBACK_URI.*` codes via `defineCodes` and exposes a single
+`FallbackUriError` subclass that any walk, ops, or recursion failure can
+throw. The registry is the source of truth for how the package surfaces
+failures to consumers and to OpenSpec gates.
+
+## Features
+
+- Eight canonical, fully-qualified error codes (`NO_CANDIDATES`,
+  `INVALID_URI`, `ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED`, `WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED`,
+  `LIST_UNION_FAILED`, `ABORTED`, `MAX_DEPTH_EXCEEDED`, `CIRCULAR_REFERENCE`).
+- Typed discriminants: `uri`, `candidateIndex`, `candidateUri`,
+  `candidateErrors`, `mirrorOutcomes`, `cycleChain`, `depth`.
+- Side-effect-free constants suitable for tree-shaking via the package's
+  `"sideEffects": false` flag.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    FALLBACK_URI_CODES,
+    FallbackUriError,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/error-codes";
+
+throw new FallbackUriError(
+    FALLBACK_URI_CODES.ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED,
+    "every candidate failed",
+    { uri: "fallback://?u=https%3A%2F%2Fa", candidateErrors: [] },
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    FALLBACK_URI_CODES,
+    FallbackUriError,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/error-codes";
+
+function handle(err: unknown): void {
+    if (err instanceof FallbackUriError) {
+        if (err.code === FALLBACK_URI_CODES.WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED) {
+            for (const o of err.mirrorOutcomes ?? []) {
+                console.error(o.uri, o.status, o.error?.code);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `FALLBACK_URI_CODES` — frozen record of `<reason → "FALLBACK_URI.<reason>">`.
+- `FallbackUriError extends SuaveplanError<FallbackUriErrorCode>` — error
+  carrying every optional discriminant.
+- `FallbackUriErrorOptions` — extension of `SuaveplanErrorOptions`
+  exposing the per-code discriminant fields.
+- `CandidateErrorOption`, `MirrorOutcomeOption` — payload shapes attached
+  to per-leg failure reports.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The codes registry uses `defineCodes` so every reason yields the
+fully-qualified namespaced string at compile time. Discriminants are
+declared optional because no single code populates all of them — the
+constructor copies only those supplied by the caller. The class name is
+set verbatim for stable structured logging and serialization. The
+registry is consumed by the OpenSpec reachability sweep and by the
+package's side-effect import in `src/index.ts`.

+# observability/events
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `observability/events` module exposes thin emit helpers that forward
+the package's five canonical event topics to a caller-supplied
+`EventBusLike`. Each helper accepts an optional bus argument so the
+plugin can be constructed without one — the helpers are no-ops in that
+case. The helpers exist so the rest of the package never reaches for the
+bus directly; topic strings live alongside the payload types in
+`policy.types`.
+
+## Features
+
+- Five emit helpers — `attempt-failed`, `attempt-succeeded`,
+  `write-mirror-partial`, `cycle-detected`, `depth-exceeded`.
+- Each helper is a no-op when no bus is provided.
+- Topic strings centralised in `FALLBACK_TOPICS` for tree-shake-safe
+  string sharing.
+- Type-safe payloads via `FallbackEventMap`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    emitAttemptFailed,
+    emitAttemptSucceeded,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/observability";
+
+emitAttemptFailed(bus, {
+    uri,
+    candidateIndex: 0,
+    candidateUri: "https://a/x",
+    code: "STORAGE_URI.NOT_FOUND",
+});
+emitAttemptSucceeded(bus, {
+    uri,
+    candidateIndex: 1,
+    candidateUri: "drive://primary/x",
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    emitCycleDetected,
+    emitDepthExceeded,
+    emitWriteMirrorPartial,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/observability";
+
+emitWriteMirrorPartial(bus, { uri, successCount: 1, failureCount: 1 });
+emitCycleDetected(bus, { uri, cycleChain: [canonical] });
+emitDepthExceeded(bus, { uri, depth: 5 });
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `emitAttemptFailed(bus, payload)`
+- `emitAttemptSucceeded(bus, payload)`
+- `emitWriteMirrorPartial(bus, payload)`
+- `emitCycleDetected(bus, payload)`
+- `emitDepthExceeded(bus, payload)`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The helpers do not buffer or retry — they fire synchronously and forget.
+A misbehaving subscriber that throws will propagate, so consumers should
+wrap risky handlers themselves. The plugin never assumes the bus is
+present; passing `undefined` is the supported way to silence the
+observability surface entirely.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+The `observability/otel` module owns the OpenTelemetry instrument bundle
+for the package: the per-candidate `storage_uri.fallback_total` counter,
+the per-walk `storage_uri.fallback_walk_ms` histogram, and the parent +
+per-attempt span helpers. Instruments are lazily allocated against the
+active `MeterProvider`; a test seam (`setFallbackMeterProvider`,
+`resetFallbackInstruments`) lets test suites swap providers without a
+process restart.
+
+## Features
+
+- Lazy instrument acquisition with force-refresh seam for tests.
+- `recordAttempt(index, scheme, outcome)` + `recordWalk(durationMs, outcome)`.
+- Parent span helper (`startParentSpan`) with caller-provided attribute
+  bag and per-attempt child span helper (`startAttemptSpan`).
+- Provider override via `setFallbackMeterProvider(provider | undefined)`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    recordAttempt,
+    recordWalk,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/observability";
+
+const start = Date.now();
+recordAttempt(0, "https", "transient");
+recordAttempt(1, "drive", "ok");
+recordWalk(Date.now() - start, "ok");
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    setFallbackMeterProvider,
+    startAttemptSpan,
+    startParentSpan,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/observability";
+
+setFallbackMeterProvider(myMeterProvider);
+const parent = startParentSpan("read", {
+    "fallback.policy.max_parallel": 2,
+});
+try {
+    const child = startAttemptSpan(0, "https");
+    try {
+        await dispatch();
+    } finally {
+        child.end();
+    }
+} finally {
+    parent.end();
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `getFallbackInstruments(force?: boolean): FallbackInstruments`
+- `resetFallbackInstruments()`
+- `setFallbackMeterProvider(provider | undefined)`
+- `recordAttempt(candidateIndex, scheme, outcome)`
+- `recordWalk(durationMs, outcome)`
+- `startParentSpan(op, attrs): Span`
+- `startAttemptSpan(candidateIndex, scheme): Span`
+- `CandidateOutcome`, `WalkOutcome`, `FallbackInstruments`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Counters and histograms attach attribute bags so consumers can slice by
+candidate index, scheme, and outcome without separate metrics per
+combination. The tracer name and meter name share the package name
+verbatim so an OTel pipeline configured for `@suaveplan/*` picks them up
+without additional wiring.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# ops/delete
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `ops/delete` module implements `fallbackDelete`, the mirror-aware
+removal operation. It dispatches `remove` to every candidate via
+`Promise.allSettled`. Under the default `deleteMode: "any-success"` it
+returns `true` when at least one candidate confirmed removal; under
+`"all"` it throws `WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED` if any candidate rejects. The
+result matches `StorageLike.delete`'s boolean contract while preserving
+structured failure metadata.
+
+## Features
+
+- Mirror fan-out via `Promise.allSettled`.
+- `deleteMode: "any-success"` (default) and `"all"` matrix.
+- Pre-aborted signal short-circuit under `stopOnAbort`.
+- Foreign throwables wrapped in `MirrorOutcome.error` per leg.
+- Surfaces total failure with `WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED` when every leg fails.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackDelete } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+const removed = await fallbackDelete(
+    uri,
+    { resolver, policy, events },
+    signal,
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackDelete } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+try {
+    await fallbackDelete(
+        uri,
+        {
+            resolver,
+            policy: { ...policy, deleteMode: "all" },
+            events,
+        },
+        signal,
+    );
+} catch (e) {
+    if ((e as { code?: string }).code === "FALLBACK_URI.WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED") {
+        console.error("delete left a stale mirror behind");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `fallbackDelete(uri, deps, signal): Promise<boolean>`
+- `DeleteDeps` — `{ resolver, policy, events }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`any-success` resolves `false` when every candidate cleanly reported the
+key was absent (no failures, no removals). It only throws when every leg
+actively rejects. `deleteMode: "all"` upgrades any leg failure to a
+structured throw so callers needing strict mirror parity can pattern
+match on the code.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# ops/list
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `ops/list` module implements `fallbackList`, the enumeration
+operation for `fallback://` URIs. It invokes `list` on every candidate
+via `Promise.allSettled`, then either unions the resulting URI sets with
+first-occurrence dedup (default `listMode: "union"`) or returns the raw
+concatenation (`"concat"`). Per-candidate failures escalate to
+`LIST_UNION_FAILED` under `listFailureMode: "throw"` (default) or are
+excluded from the partial union under `"partial"`.
+
+## Features
+
+- Concurrent fan-out over every candidate.
+- Stable dedup by canonical URI string, first-occurrence wins.
+- `hasMore` propagated as the logical OR across candidates.
+- `continuationToken` deliberately omitted (per-adapter, non-mergeable).
+- Failure modes: `throw` (raise structured) or `partial` (emit warning).
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackList } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+const result = await fallbackList(
+    uri,
+    { limit: 100 },
+    { resolver, policy, events },
+    signal,
+);
+console.log(result.uris.length, result.hasMore);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackList } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+const partial = await fallbackList(
+    uri,
+    undefined,
+    {
+        resolver,
+        policy: {
+            ...policy,
+            listMode: "concat",
+            listFailureMode: "partial",
+        },
+        events,
+    },
+    signal,
+);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `fallbackList(uri, options, deps, signal): Promise<ListUriResult>`
+- `ListDeps` — `{ resolver, policy, events }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Dedup occurs only under `listMode: "union"`; `"concat"` preserves every
+candidate's keys verbatim so callers counting per-candidate hits can
+distinguish duplicates. Failures are wrapped in
+`FALLBACK_URI.LIST_UNION_FAILED` so consumers can pattern-match without
+having to introspect each `MirrorOutcome.error`.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# ops/metadata
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `ops/metadata` module hosts `fallbackExists` and `fallbackStat`, the
+metadata-side adapter operations. Both walk the candidate list
+sequentially and return as soon as a candidate produces an authoritative
+answer. Failures fall through cleanly: `exists` resolves `false` when no
+candidate confirms presence, and `stat` resolves `undefined` when no
+candidate can answer cheaply.
+
+## Features
+
+- Sequential walk with first-truthy semantics for `exists`.
+- Sequential walk returning the first defined `StatResult` for `stat`.
+- Soft failures: aggregate exhaustion does not raise, mirroring the
+  semantics of `StorageLike.exists`.
+- Recursion-context propagation via the shared `DepthContext`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    fallbackExists,
+    fallbackStat,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+const present = await fallbackExists(uri, ctx, deps, signal);
+const meta = await fallbackStat(uri, ctx, deps, signal);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackStat } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+const meta = await fallbackStat(
+    uri,
+    ctx,
+    { resolver, policy: { ...policy, errorClass: "any" }, events },
+    signal,
+);
+if (meta?.etag) console.log("etag:", meta.etag);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `fallbackExists(uri, ctx, deps, signal): Promise<boolean>`
+- `fallbackStat(uri, ctx, deps, signal): Promise<StatResult | undefined>`
+- `MetadataDeps` — `{ resolver, policy, events }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Both functions internally throw a sentinel error when a candidate
+answers "no" or "no-stat" so the shared walk machinery treats the leg as
+a transient failure and continues. The outer `try/catch` collapses the
+walk-exhausted `ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED` into the soft return values the
+`StorageLike` contract expects from these methods.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# ops/read
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `ops/read` module implements the read-side of the fallback adapter
+surface. It wires the `fallback://` URI parser, the recursion-depth
+context, and the configured walk strategy (sequential or parallel) into
+two adapter methods: `fallbackGet` (returns `Uint8Array`) and
+`fallbackOpen` (returns `ReadableStream<Uint8Array>`). Both delegate
+per-candidate dispatch to the bound `StorageUriResolver`.
+
+## Features
+
+- Sequential default + parallel race based on `policy.maxParallel`.
+- Honours `policy.stopOnAbort` on pre-aborted signals for `open`.
+- Delegates per-candidate failures to the configured walk's classifier.
+- Foreign throwables wrapped via the walk's standard cause chain.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackGet } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+const bytes = await fallbackGet(
+    uri,
+    ctx,
+    { resolver, policy, events },
+    signal,
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackOpen } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+const stream = await fallbackOpen(
+    uri,
+    ctx,
+    { resolver, policy: { ...policy, maxParallel: 3 }, events },
+    signal,
+);
+for await (const chunk of streamAsyncIterable(stream)) {
+    process(chunk);
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `fallbackGet(uri, ctx, deps, signal): Promise<Uint8Array>`
+- `fallbackOpen(uri, ctx, deps, signal): Promise<ReadableStream<Uint8Array>>`
+- `ReadDeps` — `{ resolver, policy, events }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`fallbackOpen` short-circuits on a pre-aborted caller signal with
+`FALLBACK_URI.ABORTED` before parsing the URI; `fallbackGet` relies on
+the walk to surface the same error mid-walk. Range reads are forwarded
+verbatim because the resolver already exposes range parameters to each
+candidate's adapter; the fallback walk is transparent on that axis.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# ops/write
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `ops/write` module implements the write-side semantics of the
+fallback adapter: `fallbackSet` for byte writes and `fallbackWriteStream`
+for streamed writes. Under `policy.writeMode: "all"` (default) the
+operation fans out to every candidate via `Promise.allSettled` so reads
+from any leg subsequently observe the same content; under
+`"first-success"` it walks sequentially and returns on the first leg to
+succeed, letting remaining writes settle in the background.
+
+## Features
+
+- Mirror fan-out with structured `WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED` on any leg failure.
+- `first-success` mode with background remainder + best-effort partial
+  emission on the event bus.
+- AbortSignal short-circuit before dispatch under `stopOnAbort`.
+- Stream-input variant buffers chunks then routes through `fallbackSet`.
+- Foreign throwables wrapped per leg in `MirrorOutcome.error`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackSet } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+await fallbackSet(
+    uri,
+    new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]),
+    ctx,
+    { resolver, policy, events },
+    signal,
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackWriteStream } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/ops";
+
+await fallbackWriteStream(
+    uri,
+    body,
+    ctx,
+    {
+        resolver,
+        policy: { ...policy, writeMode: "first-success" },
+        events,
+    },
+    signal,
+);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `fallbackSet(uri, bytes, ctx, deps, signal): Promise<void>`
+- `fallbackWriteStream(uri, body, ctx, deps, signal): Promise<void>`
+- `WriteDeps` — `{ resolver, policy, events }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Mirror writes preserve every leg's structured error inside
+`mirrorOutcomes[i].error` — foreign throwables are wrapped in
+`FALLBACK_URI.WRITE_MIRROR_FAILED` so consumers always receive a
+`SuaveplanError`. `first-success` mode emits a single
+`write-mirror-partial` event when at least one background remainder
+write fails so operators can detect mirror drift.

+# abort-any
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `abort-any` module provides a universal `AbortSignal`
+composition helper. It prefers the native `AbortSignal.any` (ES2024) when
+the runtime offers it; otherwise it transparently falls back to an
+`AbortController`-driven implementation that listens on each input
+signal. The fallback path lets the package keep its tier-purity contract
+on runtimes that have not yet shipped `AbortSignal.any`.
+
+## Features
+
+- Detects native `AbortSignal.any` and forwards verbatim when present.
+- Pure-DOM fallback that respects already-aborted inputs.
+- Cleans up its listeners on first abort to avoid leaks.
+- Accepts `undefined` entries so callers can pass partial signal arrays
+  (`[callerSignal, perCandidateTimeoutSignal]`).
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { anySignal } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/parse-uri";
+
+const ctrlA = new AbortController();
+const ctrlB = new AbortController();
+const composed = anySignal([ctrlA.signal, ctrlB.signal]);
+ctrlA.abort();
+console.log(composed.aborted); // true
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { anySignal } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/parse-uri";
+
+function withTimeout(
+    callerSignal: AbortSignal | undefined,
+    timeoutMs: number,
+): AbortSignal {
+    const timer = new AbortController();
+    setTimeout(() => timer.abort(new Error("timeout")), timeoutMs);
+    return anySignal([callerSignal, timer.signal]);
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `anySignal(signals: ReadonlyArray<AbortSignal | undefined>): AbortSignal`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The fallback path inspects every input for `aborted === true` before
+attaching listeners — a pre-aborted input aborts the composite
+immediately and skips the listener setup. On normal abort, the helper
+removes every registered listener so signals that outlive the composite
+(e.g. a long-lived caller signal) do not retain a reference back to the
+composite controller.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# parse-fallback-uri
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `parse-fallback-uri` module owns the canonical grammar for the
+`fallback://` URI scheme. It parses input strings into ordered candidate
+URI lists, rejects malformed inputs with structured `FALLBACK_URI.*`
+errors, builds canonical URIs from candidate arrays, and exposes helpers
+to attach or strip the internal recursion-context query parameter used
+for cycle detection across resolver re-entries.
+
+## Features
+
+- `parseFallbackUri(uri, maxCandidates?)` — split into candidates +
+  canonical re-serialisation; throws `NO_CANDIDATES` / `INVALID_URI`.
+- `buildFallbackUri(uris, maxCandidates?)` — construct a canonical URI
+  using stdlib `URLSearchParams`; rejects empty / oversized inputs.
+- `stripContext(uri)` / `withContextId(uri, id)` — manipulate the
+  internal `__fbctx=<id>` recursion-context marker.
+- Hard ceilings (`MAX_URI_LEN` 4096, `MAX_CANDIDATES_HARD` 64) enforced
+  even when a more permissive policy value is supplied.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    buildFallbackUri,
+    parseFallbackUri,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/parse-uri";
+
+const uri = buildFallbackUri([
+    "https://cdn.example.com/foo",
+    "drive://primary/foo",
+]);
+const { candidates } = parseFallbackUri(uri);
+console.log(candidates);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    parseFallbackUri,
+    withContextId,
+    stripContext,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/parse-uri";
+
+const decorated = withContextId(uri, "ctx-42");
+const parsed = parseFallbackUri(decorated);
+if (parsed.contextId === "ctx-42") {
+    const canonical = stripContext(decorated);
+    console.log("recursion key:", canonical);
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `parseFallbackUri(uri: string, maxCandidates?: number): ParsedFallbackUri`
+- `buildFallbackUri(uris: readonly string[], maxCandidates?: number): string`
+- `stripContext(uri: string): string`
+- `withContextId(uri: string, contextId: string): string`
+- `FB_CTX_PARAM` — `"__fbctx"` marker name.
+- `MAX_URI_LEN` — 4096.
+- `MAX_CANDIDATES_HARD` — 64.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Parsing is delegated entirely to the Web-standard `URL` and
+`URLSearchParams` constructors, eliminating every custom regex outside
+syntactic guards. Candidate ordering is preserved because
+`URLSearchParams.getAll` is ordered. Round-trip safety is verified by a
+fast-check property test in the sibling `.test.ts` file. The
+`__fbctx` parameter is stripped from the canonicalised visited-set key so
+nested re-entries cannot defeat cycle detection by carrying different
+context ids.

+# plugin
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `plugin` module hosts the `fallbackUriPlugin` factory — the public
+entry point of the package. The factory validates its options via Zod,
+binds the supplied `StorageUriResolver` for recursive dispatch, builds a
+streaming-extended adapter implementing every `StorageLike` method, and
+returns a frozen `UriPlugin` ready for registration alongside other
+scheme handlers. The plugin's adapter routes every operation through the
+walk + ops modules, threading a per-call `DepthContext` so nested
+`fallback://` URIs remain bounded.
+
+## Features
+
+- Boundary Zod validation of options + policy.
+- Frozen `UriPlugin` with explicit `parse` / `build` round-trip.
+- Full streaming-extended `StorageLike` adapter: `get`, `set`, `delete`,
+  `exists`, `list`, `clear`, `createReadStream`, `createWriteStream`,
+  `getMetadata`, plus `listUri` for raw `ListUriResult`.
+- Recursion-safe via `DepthContext` registered through the parsed
+  `__fbctx` query parameter.
+- Refuses `clear()` (heterogeneous-mirror semantics not well-defined).
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    createStorageUriResolver,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri";
+import { fallbackUriPlugin } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/plugin";
+
+const resolver = createStorageUriResolver([
+    httpPlugin,
+    drivePlugin,
+    fallbackUriPlugin({
+        resolver: () => resolver, // late-bound via a proxy in real wiring
+    } as never),
+]);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { fallbackUriPlugin } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/plugin";
+
+const plugin = fallbackUriPlugin({
+    resolver,
+    policy: {
+        maxParallel: 2,
+        writeMode: "all",
+        listFailureMode: "partial",
+    },
+    events: bus,
+});
+console.log(plugin.scheme); // "fallback"
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `fallbackUriPlugin(options: FallbackPluginOptions): UriPlugin`
+- `FallbackAdapter` — adapter shape attached to `plugin.adapter`.
+- `buildFallbackUri` / `parseFallbackUri` re-exports for caller
+  convenience.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The plugin holds the resolver by reference, allowing late binding via a
+proxy when the resolver instance has not yet been constructed. Each
+operation parses the input URI to discover any embedded context id; when
+present, it rehydrates the parent `DepthContext` from the registry,
+otherwise it creates a fresh root context. The root context is cleaned
+up in the `finally` block to keep the registry leak-free.

+# depth-context
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `depth-context` module tracks the recursion state threaded through
+nested `fallback://` dispatches: the per-call depth counter, the visited
+set used for cycle detection, and the process-wide context registry that
+lets recursive resolver re-entries rehydrate their parent context purely
+from the URI string (via the `__fbctx` marker). It is the cornerstone of
+the package's two recursion safeguards.
+
+## Features
+
+- `DepthContext` value carrying `id`, `depth`, `maxDepth`, `visited`.
+- `enterDepth` / `leaveDepth` lifecycle with depth-cap enforcement.
+- `hasVisited` canonicalises URIs via `stripContext` so context-id
+  variations of the same `fallback://` URI deduplicate correctly.
+- Process-wide registry (`registerContext`, `lookupContext`,
+  `unregisterContext`) keyed by `ctx.id` so child dispatches survive a
+  full resolver round trip.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    createDepthContext,
+    enterDepth,
+    leaveDepth,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/recursion";
+
+const ctx = createDepthContext(4);
+enterDepth(ctx, "fallback://?u=mem%3A%2F%2Fa");
+try {
+    // walk candidates
+} finally {
+    leaveDepth(ctx);
+}
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    createDepthContext,
+    lookupContext,
+    registerContext,
+    unregisterContext,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/recursion";
+
+const ctx = createDepthContext(6);
+registerContext(ctx);
+try {
+    // Pass ctx.id via the URI's __fbctx parameter so recursive resolver
+    // dispatches re-enter the same context state.
+    await dispatchWithContextId(uri, ctx.id);
+} finally {
+    unregisterContext(ctx);
+}
+
+console.log(lookupContext(ctx.id)); // undefined post-cleanup
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `createDepthContext(maxDepth: number): DepthContext`
+- `enterDepth(ctx, uri)` — throws `MAX_DEPTH_EXCEEDED` past cap.
+- `leaveDepth(ctx)` — decrements; safe to over-call.
+- `hasVisited(ctx, uri): boolean`
+- `registerContext(ctx)` / `unregisterContext(ctx)` / `lookupContext(id)`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Depth contexts are mutable inside one walk and never shared across
+unrelated calls — the registry is keyed by an opaque id so concurrent
+walks remain isolated. The visited set retains entries across
+`leaveDepth` because cycle detection cares about whether a URI has been
+seen anywhere in the call chain, not just whether it is currently on the
+stack.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# candidate.types
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `candidate.types` module defines structural records that flow through
+the fallback walk and fan-out paths but are not part of the public policy
+boundary. Walk strategies and ops modules collect `CandidateError` and
+`MirrorOutcome` instances to assemble the structured errors raised at the
+edges of the package.
+
+## Features
+
+- `CandidateError` — one candidate's per-leg failure (`uri`, `error`).
+- `CandidateAttempt` — trace record for an attempt (`index`, `uri`,
+  `scheme`, `outcome`, `durationMs`).
+- `MirrorOutcome` — per-leg result of a mirror-fan-out write or delete.
+- All types are `readonly` to keep walk state immutable.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    CandidateError,
+    MirrorOutcome,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/types";
+
+const errors: CandidateError[] = [];
+errors.push({ uri: "https://a/x", error: someErr });
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    CandidateAttempt,
+    MirrorOutcome,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/types";
+
+function summarise(
+    attempts: readonly CandidateAttempt[],
+    outcomes: readonly MirrorOutcome[],
+): { failed: number; mirrored: number } {
+    return {
+        failed: attempts.filter((a) => a.outcome === "transient").length,
+        mirrored: outcomes.filter((o) => o.status === "fulfilled").length,
+    };
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `CandidateError` — `{ uri: string; error: SuaveplanError }`.
+- `CandidateAttempt` — `{ index: number; uri: string; scheme: string;
+  outcome: "ok" | "transient" | "semantic" | "abort"; durationMs: number;
+  error?: SuaveplanError }`.
+- `MirrorOutcome` — `{ uri: string; status: "fulfilled" | "rejected";
+  error?: SuaveplanError }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+These records are deliberately leaf-structural so producers (`walk/`,
+`ops/`) and consumers (`error-codes`, observability emitters) can share
+them without coupling. The `error` field is typed as `SuaveplanError`
+because foreign throwables are normalised upstream by the resolver or
+wrapped by the walk before populating these records.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# policy.types
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `policy.types` module defines the user-facing knobs governing how the
+`fallback://` plugin walks candidates, classifies errors, mirrors writes,
+unions lists, and caps recursion. It also declares the event-bus payload
+shapes emitted by the observability surface. These types are the only
+public boundary configuration consumers reach for when constructing the
+plugin.
+
+## Features
+
+- `FallbackPolicy` — every walk + fan-out knob with documented defaults.
+- `FallbackPluginOptions` — factory-input bundle including the resolver,
+  policy overrides, logger, event bus, and clock.
+- `FALLBACK_TOPICS` — frozen topic-string constants for the event bus.
+- Typed payload interfaces for every emitted event topic.
+- `FallbackEventMap` — type-map intersected with `Record<string, unknown>`
+  for `EventBusLike<FallbackEventMap>` compatibility.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    FallbackPluginOptions,
+    FallbackPolicy,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/types";
+
+const policy: Partial<FallbackPolicy> = {
+    maxParallel: 1,
+    writeMode: "all",
+};
+const options: FallbackPluginOptions = { resolver, policy };
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    type FallbackEventMap,
+    FALLBACK_TOPICS,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/types";
+import { createEventBus } from "@suaveplan/events";
+
+const bus = createEventBus<FallbackEventMap>();
+bus.on(FALLBACK_TOPICS.attemptFailed, (p) =>
+    console.warn(`candidate ${p.candidateIndex} failed: ${p.code}`),
+);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `FallbackPolicy` — `errorClass`, `maxParallel`, `stopOnAbort`,
+  `writeMode`, `deleteMode`, `listMode`, `listFailureMode`, `maxDepth`,
+  `maxCandidates`.
+- `FallbackPluginOptions` — `{ resolver, policy?, logger?, events?, clock? }`.
+- `FALLBACK_TOPICS` — `attemptFailed`, `attemptSucceeded`,
+  `writeMirrorPartial`, `cycleDetected`, `depthExceeded`.
+- `AttemptFailedPayload`, `AttemptSucceededPayload`,
+  `WriteMirrorPartialPayload`, `CycleDetectedPayload`,
+  `DepthExceededPayload`, `FallbackEventMap`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Defaults live on the Zod schemas in `policy.schemas.ts`; this file is
+type-only. `FallbackEventMap` is declared as a type intersection with
+`Record<string, unknown>` so it satisfies the `TMap extends Record<string,
+unknown>` constraint on `EventBusLike` without losing per-topic narrowing.

+# walk/parallel
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `walk/parallel` module implements the `Promise.any`-style race
+strategy activated when `policy.maxParallel > 1`. It dispatches up to
+`maxParallel` candidates concurrently, returns the first to resolve, and
+aborts every pending candidate via a composed `AbortSignal` so they can
+release any held resources. Failures arriving before the first success
+are collected; if every candidate ends in transient failure, the walk
+throws `ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED` with the per-leg cause chain populated.
+
+## Features
+
+- Concurrency cap honouring `policy.maxParallel` and the candidate count.
+- Composed abort propagation via `anySignal([callerSignal, internal])`.
+- Per-candidate counter and `attempt-failed` / `attempt-succeeded` events.
+- Semantic failures surface immediately, halting the race.
+- Honours `policy.stopOnAbort` on pre-aborted caller signals.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { walkParallel } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/walk";
+
+const bytes = await walkParallel(
+    {
+        uri,
+        candidates,
+        ctx,
+        policy: { ...policy, maxParallel: 3 },
+        events,
+        signal,
+    },
+    async (candidate, s) => resolver.read(candidate, s),
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import { walkParallel } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/walk";
+
+await walkParallel(
+    { uri, candidates, ctx, policy, events, signal },
+    async (candidate, s) => {
+        const res = await fetch(candidate, { signal: s });
+        if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${res.status}`);
+        return new Uint8Array(await res.arrayBuffer());
+    },
+);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `walkParallel<T>(opts: ParallelWalkOptions, dispatch: Dispatch<T>): Promise<T>`
+- `ParallelWalkOptions` — `{ uri, candidates, ctx, policy, events, signal }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The walk uses an internal `AbortController` that fires as soon as one
+candidate resolves; pending candidates observing the composed signal
+abort cooperatively. Completion bookkeeping (`completed >= total`) is the
+only path that throws `ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED` after exhausting the work
+queue, ensuring the structured error always carries one entry per
+attempted candidate.
+
+This module is part of the universal fallback URI plugin family. It coordinates with the recursion, walk, ops, observability, and classification modules through small, narrowly-typed value contracts. The implementation deliberately keeps surface area small so each piece can be substituted or instrumented independently without touching consumers. Refer to the package README for the end-to-end picture and to the spec delta for the requirement matrix this module helps satisfy.

+# walk/sequential
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `walk/sequential` module implements the default ordered
+fall-through walk strategy. It iterates the candidate list in declaration
+order, dispatches each candidate via a caller-supplied dispatcher, and
+returns the first successful result. Transient failures fall through to
+the next candidate; semantic failures surface immediately; aborts cut the
+walk per policy. On exhaustion it throws `ALL_CANDIDATES_FAILED` with
+every per-leg error preserved, or `CIRCULAR_REFERENCE` when every
+candidate cycles back to an already-visited URI.
+
+## Features
+
+- Ordered fall-through with `EventBusLike` `attempt-failed` /
+  `attempt-succeeded` emissions per candidate.
+- Cycle skipping via `hasVisited` + `cycle-detected` event emission.
+- Per-candidate OTel counter increments (`fallback_total`).
+- Foreign throwable wrapping into structured `FallbackUriError`.
+- `decorateRecursive` injects the recursion-context id into nested
+  `fallback://` candidates so re-entries see the parent context.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { walkSequential } from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/walk";
+
+const value = await walkSequential(
+    {
+        uri,
+        candidates,
+        ctx,
+        policy,
+        events,
+        signal,
+    },
+    async (candidate, s) => resolver.read(candidate, s),
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    candidateScheme,
+    decorateRecursive,
+    walkSequential,
+} from "@suaveplan/storage-uri-plugin-fallback/walk";
+
+const decorated = candidates.map((c) => decorateRecursive(c, ctx));
+console.log(candidateScheme(decorated[0]));
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `walkSequential<T>(opts: SequentialWalkOptions, dispatch: Dispatch<T>): Promise<T>`
+- `SequentialWalkOptions` — `{ uri, candidates, ctx, policy, events, signal }`.
+- `Dispatch<T>` — `(candidateUri, signal) => Promise<T>`.
+- `candidateScheme(uri)` — extracts the lowercased scheme.
+- `decorateRecursive(candidate, ctx)` — appends `__fbctx=<ctx.id>` to
+  `fallback://` candidates.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The walk respects `policy.stopOnAbort`: when `true` (default), an aborted
+caller signal is checked before each candidate and throws
+`FALLBACK_URI.ABORTED` immediately. The recorded counter outcome for
+cycle-skipped candidates is `"semantic"` to align with the classifier's
+treatment of cycle detection as a non-transient surface.
