+# @suaveplan/api-2pc - Two-phase commit coordinator for the Suaveplan API plugin system.
+
+Two-phase commit coordinator for the Suaveplan API plugin system. Drives Postgres PREPARE TRANSACTION / COMMIT PREPARED / ROLLBACK PREPARED across registered participants with a host-owned ledger in suaveplan_2pc_transactions. Refuses non-preparable engines as writers (SQLite, SurrealDB) but accepts them as read-only voters. Default timeoutMs 5000, hard ceiling 30000, default outstanding-prepared cap 256, all operator-tunable. Ships boot-time orphan resolution via pg_prepared_xacts, the full TWOPC_* error namespace, OTel transaction/prepare/commit/rollback spans plus prepare_duration_ms / commit_duration_ms histograms / transactions_total counter / outstanding_prepared gauge, and run2pcParticipantConformance on the ./testing subpath. Server-tier — Bun + Node.
+
+> **Postgres-only writer surface.** SQLite and SurrealDB cannot honour
+> `PREPARE TRANSACTION` and are refused as writers at install time.
+> They MAY participate as read-only voters that contribute a
+> `commit`/`abort` vote based on their own consistency check, but the
+> coordinator never sends them prepare / commit / rollback SQL.

+
+## Why
+
+Some cross-database workflows demand atomic visibility — no partial
+state, no eventual convergence. Per the API Plugin Foundation design
+doc §9.2 the coordinator runs phase-1 prepare across every registered
+participant, persists the vote tally to `suaveplan_2pc_transactions`
+on the host's metadata DB, then issues `COMMIT PREPARED` or
+`ROLLBACK PREPARED` against every writer participant. Recovery on the
+next boot resolves any prepared transactions left over from a host
+crash.
+
+## Modules
+
+- `coordinator/` — `createTwoPcCoordinator` + `run2pc` factory and
+  state machine.
+- `registry/` — `TwoPcParticipantRegistry` (admission control).
+- `phases/` — `preparePhaseOne`, `commitPhaseTwo`, `rollbackPhaseTwo`,
+  `gid` helpers.
+- `persistence/` — `TwoPcLedgerStore` over the host-owned
+  `suaveplan_2pc_transactions` table.
+- `recovery/` — boot-time orphan resolution via `pg_prepared_xacts`.
+- `limits/` — `OutstandingPreparedCap` (admission), `assertTimeoutBelowCeiling`
+  (per-call ceiling).
+- `instruments/` — OTel meter/tracer bundle.
+- `options/` — Zod-validated coordinator options + defaults.
+- `error-codes/` — 10 `TWOPC_*` codes + `TwoPcError`.
+- `types/` — `Run2PcInput`, `Run2PcOutcome`, participant + state types.
+- `testing/` — `run2pcParticipantConformance(factory)` suite.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```ts
+import { createTwoPcCoordinator } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc";
+
+const coordinator = createTwoPcCoordinator({
+    options: { hostInstanceId: "host-01" },
+    registry,
+    ledgerDb,
+    clock: () => Date.now(),
+    idGenerator: () => crypto.randomUUID(),
+});
+
+const outcome = await coordinator.run2pc({
+    participants: [
+        { id: "billing", input: { invoiceId: "inv-1" } },
+        { id: "inventory", input: { sku: "abc-9" } },
+    ],
+});
+// outcome.state is "committed" | "aborted" | "in_doubt"
+```
+
+## Defaults
+
+- `timeoutMs`: **5000** (operator-tunable per-call up to the
+  30000 ms ceiling).
+- `outstandingPreparedCap`: **256** (operator-tunable via host
+  config).
+
+## Error namespace
+
+Every production code path throws `TwoPcError` with one of the ten
+`TWOPC_*` codes. See `src/error-codes/error-codes.md` for the full
+catalogue.
+
+## Conformance
+
+Every adapter implementing a writer participant MUST run
+`run2pcParticipantConformance({ create: ... })` in a
+`tests/conformance/run-2pc-participant.test.ts` file. The harness
+pins prepare / commit / rollback semantics and the idempotency
+contract.

+# `coordinator/`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Top-level orchestration for the 2PC protocol. `createTwoPcCoordinator`
+builds a fully-wired coordinator that holds a participant registry, a
+ledger store, an admission counter, and an OTel instrument bundle.
+The `run2pc({ participants, timeoutMs? })` entry point owns the full
+state machine described in design doc §9.2:
+
+1. Admission via the outstanding-prepared cap.
+2. Ledger insert at `voting`.
+3. Phase-1 prepare per participant, with the
+   `2pc.prepare_duration_ms` histogram and a `2pc.prepare` span per
+   participant.
+4. Either unanimous commit → `markAllVotedCommit` → phase-2
+   `COMMIT PREPARED` per writer; OR any abort/error →
+   `markAborting` → phase-2 `ROLLBACK PREPARED` per prepared writer.
+5. Terminal ledger stamp (`committed` / `aborted` / `in_doubt`).
+
+The coordinator is the only path application code ever touches.
+Every smaller module (phases, persistence, recovery, limits) is
+internal plumbing this factory composes.
+
+## Features
+
+- Single public surface: `createTwoPcCoordinator(deps)` returns
+  `{ run2pc, outstandingCount, options }`.
+- Default `timeoutMs` from options (5000), per-call override accepted
+  up to the 30000 ceiling (enforced via
+  `limits/timeout-ceiling`).
+- Admission cap (default 256) enforced via
+  `limits/outstanding-cap`; over-cap calls fail with
+  `TWOPC_OUTSTANDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` before any participant is
+  contacted.
+- Hooks every documented OTel instrument (`2pc.transaction` span,
+  `2pc.prepare` / `2pc.commit` / `2pc.rollback` child spans,
+  `2pc.transactions_total` counter, `prepare`/`commit_duration_ms`
+  histograms, `outstanding_prepared` gauge).
+- Ledger persistence is bidirectional — every state transition writes
+  through `TwoPcLedgerStore`, so the recovery runner has a full audit
+  trail on restart.
+- Abort handling: vote_abort, prepare_failed, and timeout all funnel
+  to the rollback branch; rollback errors escalate to `in_doubt`
+  rather than failing the rollback path itself.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { createTwoPcCoordinator } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/coordinator";
+
+const coordinator = createTwoPcCoordinator({
+    options: { hostInstanceId: "host-01" },
+    registry,
+    ledgerDb,
+    clock: () => Date.now(),
+    idGenerator: () => crypto.randomUUID(),
+});
+
+const outcome = await coordinator.run2pc({
+    participants: [
+        { id: "billing", input: { invoiceId: "inv-1" } },
+        { id: "inventory", input: { sku: "abc-9" } },
+    ],
+});
+console.log(outcome.state); // "committed" | "aborted" | "in_doubt"
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Inject a custom instruments bundle to feed a hand-rolled
+MeterProvider, override the default timeout per call, and consume the
+per-participant vote summary on the outcome:
+
+```ts
+import { createTwoPcCoordinator } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/coordinator";
+import { createTwoPcInstruments } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/instruments";
+
+const instruments = createTwoPcInstruments({
+    meterProvider,
+    outstandingPreparedSnapshot: () => coordinator.outstandingCount(),
+});
+
+const coordinator = createTwoPcCoordinator({
+    options: {
+        hostInstanceId: "host-01",
+        defaultTimeoutMs: 10_000,
+        outstandingPreparedCap: 64,
+    },
+    registry,
+    ledgerDb,
+    clock: () => Date.now(),
+    idGenerator: () => crypto.randomUUID(),
+    instruments,
+});
+
+const outcome = await coordinator.run2pc({
+    participants: [
+        { id: "billing", input: { invoiceId } },
+        { id: "audit", input: { event: "invoice.created" } },
+    ],
+    timeoutMs: 2_500,
+});
+for (const v of outcome.votes) {
+    auditLog.append({
+        txId: outcome.txId,
+        participant: v.participantId,
+        vote: v.vote,
+    });
+}
+```

+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The function is structured as one large `try` / `finally` so cleanup
+(span end, deadline timer clear, admission release) runs regardless
+of which branch fires. The pattern keeps the happy path linear and
+the failure paths exhaustive without nested try blocks.
+
+The "any commit failure → in_doubt" escalation is deliberate. Once
+the coordinator has issued `COMMIT PREPARED` against at least one
+participant, the only correct follow-up is to keep trying — but the
+hot path cannot block on that. Instead, the row is marked `in_doubt`,
+the OTel counter ticks the `in_doubt` outcome, and the recovery
+runner picks it up on the next boot.
+
+Vote-abort and prepare-failed paths both call `ac.abort()` BEFORE
+running phase 2, so any prepared participants whose subsequent SQL
+hits the signal map to `TWOPC_TIMEOUT` rather than getting stuck. The
+deadline timer is cleared in the `finally` so a successful commit
+does not leave a dangling abort handle on the AbortController.

+# `error-codes/`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+This module owns the `TWOPC_*` error-code namespace and the `TwoPcError`
+concrete class for the `@suaveplan/api-2pc` package. The registry is the
+canonical contract every production code path in the coordinator throws
+against — observability dashboards, support runbooks, and integrating
+plugins all join on these stable string codes.
+
+The codes are intentionally enumerated up-front rather than grown
+ad-hoc: a missing code is a spec deviation that a CI gate can detect,
+and the closed set lets operators write alerting rules without
+constantly chasing schema drift.
+
+## Features
+
+- Ten stable codes (`TIMEOUT`, `VOTE_ABORT`, `PREPARE_FAILED`,
+  `COMMIT_FAILED`, `ROLLBACK_FAILED`, `IN_DOUBT`,
+  `PARTICIPANT_NOT_PREPARABLE`, `READ_ONLY_PARTICIPANT_CANNOT_WRITE`,
+  `OUTSTANDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`, `TIMEOUT_CEILING_EXCEEDED`).
+- Each code is exposed via `TWOPC_CODES.<NAME>` returning the prefixed
+  string `"TWOPC.<NAME>"` produced by `defineCodes`.
+- `TwoPcError` extends `SuaveplanError` so cause-chain traversal,
+  Zod-validated wire format, and the OTel span-event adapter from
+  `@suaveplan/error` all apply unchanged.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { TWOPC_CODES, TwoPcError } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/error-codes";
+
+throw new TwoPcError(
+    TWOPC_CODES.TIMEOUT,
+    "Phase-1 deadline elapsed",
+    { context: { txId, timeoutMs: 5000 } }
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Branching on error code at the boundary between coordinator and caller
+is the recommended consumer pattern. The narrowed `twoPcCode` field
+gives an exhaustive switch the compiler can check:
+
+```ts
+import { TWOPC_CODES, TwoPcError } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/error-codes";
+
+try {
+    await run2pc({ participants, timeoutMs: 5000 }, ctx);
+} catch (err) {
+    if (err instanceof TwoPcError) {
+        switch (err.twoPcCode) {
+            case TWOPC_CODES.TIMEOUT:
+                metrics.incr("billing.2pc.timeout");
+                return retryWithBackoff();
+            case TWOPC_CODES.VOTE_ABORT:
+                return surfaceUserError();
+            case TWOPC_CODES.IN_DOUBT:
+                pageOncall(err);
+                return;
+            default:
+                throw err;
+        }
+    }
+    throw err;
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `TWOPC_CODES` — frozen object `{ TIMEOUT: "TWOPC.TIMEOUT", ... }`.
+- `type TwoPcErrorCode` — string-literal union of every value in
+  `TWOPC_CODES`.
+- `class TwoPcError extends SuaveplanError<TwoPcErrorCode>` — exposes
+  `twoPcCode` as a same-typed accessor for ergonomic narrowing without
+  re-asserting at every catch site.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`defineCodes` from `@suaveplan/error` produces the prefixed values at
+runtime, so every code string starts with `"TWOPC."`. This matches the
+prefix convention used by sibling api-stack packages (`HOST.*`,
+`PLUGIN.*`, `RELOAD.*`, `LEDGER.*`). The `TwoPcError` class carries a
+redundant `twoPcCode` field — duplicating `code` — purely to give
+callers a name they don't have to import the generic
+`SuaveplanError<C>` type to narrow against. The duplication is
+deliberate and harmless because the base class makes `code` readonly.
+
+The registry is closed; adding a code requires an OpenSpec change so
+every consumer dashboard and runbook stays in sync. Coverage assertions
+ensure every code is actually thrown by a production path before this
+package can graduate to `1.0.0`.

+ *   coordinator rolled back every commit-voter.
+ * - `TWOPC_PREPARE_FAILED` — a participant raised during phase 1
+ *   (network drop, SQL error, capability check failure). Treated as an
+ *   implicit abort vote: rollback runs everywhere a prepare succeeded.
+ * - `TWOPC_COMMIT_FAILED` — at least one `COMMIT PREPARED` raised. The
+ *   transaction is `in_doubt`; the recovery runner is the only path
+ *   that can resolve it.
+ * - `TWOPC_ROLLBACK_FAILED` — at least one `ROLLBACK PREPARED` raised.
+ *   Recovery resolves it on next boot.
+ * - `TWOPC_IN_DOUBT` — terminal state surfacing a partially-committed
+ *   transaction whose follow-up requires the recovery runner.
+ * - `TWOPC_PARTICIPANT_NOT_PREPARABLE` — install-time refusal of a
+ *   write participant whose engine does not advertise `db.preparable`.
+ *   SQLite / SurrealDB SHALL hit this when registered as writers.
+ * - `TWOPC_READ_ONLY_PARTICIPANT_CANNOT_WRITE` — a read-only voter's
+ *   prepare callback returned a write-intent payload; the coordinator
+ *   refused the transaction before phase 2.
+ * - `TWOPC_OUTSTANDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` — admission control refused a
+ *   new `run2pc` call because the host has 256 prepared transactions
+ *   already in flight. The cap is operator-tunable but the default
+ *   ships at 256 per design doc §14.
+ * - `TWOPC_TIMEOUT_CEILING_EXCEEDED` — caller-supplied `timeoutMs`
+ *   exceeded the 30 000 ms hard ceiling. The call is refused at the
+ *   boundary (no participant is contacted).

+# `instruments/`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Builds the OTel instrument registry the 2PC coordinator emits against
+on every transaction. Each instrument's name follows design doc §9.2
+exactly so a missing entry is a spec deviation a CI gate could detect.
+Centralising creation keeps the coordinator code free of meter / tracer
+plumbing — every phase module simply records against the frozen
+bundle returned here.
+
+The observable gauge wires into the coordinator's outstanding-prepared
+counter via a snapshot callback, so dashboards see the live admission
+state without the coordinator pushing on every change.
+
+## Features
+
+- One span: `2pc.transaction` per transaction lifetime; per-phase
+  child spans `2pc.prepare`, `2pc.commit`, `2pc.rollback` (started by
+  the phase modules themselves, using the tracer this bundle exposes).
+- One counter: `2pc.transactions_total` labelled `{ outcome }`.
+- Two histograms: `2pc.prepare_duration_ms`, `2pc.commit_duration_ms`
+  labelled `{ outcome }`.
+- One observable gauge: `2pc.outstanding_prepared` wired to a
+  snapshot callback supplied at construction.
+- Provider defaults to the OTel globals (no-op when no SDK is
+  installed) so unit tests do not have to wire a provider.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { createTwoPcInstruments } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/instruments";
+
+const instruments = createTwoPcInstruments({
+    outstandingPreparedSnapshot: () => coordinator.outstandingCount(),
+});
+
+instruments.transactionsTotal.add(1, { outcome: "committed" });
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Inject a real OTel SDK and a custom snapshot to feed a live dashboard:
+
+```ts
+import { metrics, trace } from "@opentelemetry/api";
+import { MeterProvider } from "@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics";
+import { createTwoPcInstruments } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/instruments";
+
+const meterProvider = new MeterProvider({ /* readers/exporters */ });
+metrics.setGlobalMeterProvider(meterProvider);
+
+const instruments = createTwoPcInstruments({
+    meterProvider,
+    tracerProvider: trace.getTracerProvider(),
+    outstandingPreparedSnapshot: () => coordinator.outstandingCount(),
+});
+
+const span = instruments.tracer.startSpan("2pc.transaction", {
+    attributes: { "tx.id": txId, participant_count: 2 },
+});
+try {
+    // ...
+    instruments.prepareDurationMs.record(prepareElapsedMs, {
+        outcome: "committed",
+    });
+} finally {
+    span.end();
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `type TwoPcOutcome = "committed" | "aborted" | "in_doubt"` — values
+  attached to the `outcome` attribute on every counter / histogram
+  observation.
+- `interface TwoPcInstrumentsConfig`
+  - `meterProvider?: MeterProvider`
+  - `tracerProvider?: TracerProvider`
+  - `outstandingPreparedSnapshot: () => number`
+- `interface TwoPcInstruments` — frozen bundle exposing `meter`,
+  `tracer`, `transactionsTotal`, `prepareDurationMs`,
+  `commitDurationMs`, `outstandingPreparedGauge`.
+- `createTwoPcInstruments(config): TwoPcInstruments` — factory.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The observable gauge's callback fires whenever the SDK collects metrics
+(typically on a fixed interval driven by the exporter). The snapshot
+returned by `outstandingPreparedSnapshot` is therefore an
+eventually-consistent value — operators must not treat it as a strict
+upper bound for admission decisions. The strict upper bound is enforced
+inside `limits/outstanding-cap.ts`; the gauge is purely a dashboard
+signal.
+
+Histogram unit is set explicitly to `"ms"` per OTel naming convention.
+The two histograms are named after the phases they measure so a single
+dashboard panel can render side-by-side latency for prepare and commit
+without re-labelling — operators flagging long prepares typically
+care more about phase-1 latency because that is when row-level locks
+are held on every participant.

+## Purpose
+
+Admission control for in-flight 2PC transactions. The coordinator
+holds a fixed-size budget of "outstanding prepared transactions"; once
+the budget is exhausted new `run2pc` calls refuse rather than queue.
+The default is 256 (design doc §14's open question, pinned by this
+package's spec) and operators can tune it via host config.
+
+Refusing rather than queuing is intentional: Postgres holds row-level
+locks for every prepared transaction, so a backed-up coordinator
+would otherwise convert a transient overload into a global lock
+storm. Failing fast lets callers route to a degraded path
+(degraded-write, retry queue, etc.).
+
+## Features
+
+- `OutstandingPreparedCap` — synchronous counter with `admit()`,
+  `release()`, `snapshot()`, `capacity()`.
+- Constructor validates that the cap is a positive integer (rejects
+  zero, negatives, fractions, `NaN`).
+- `release()` is idempotent below zero — a buggy double-release in
+  caller code cannot silently expand the real cap.
+- Synchronous-only — relies on the event-loop atomicity guarantee
+  between `admit` / `release` pairs in JavaScript runtimes.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { OutstandingPreparedCap } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/limits";
+
+const cap = new OutstandingPreparedCap(256);
+
+cap.admit();
+try {
+    // run the 2PC transaction
+} finally {
+    cap.release();
+}
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Wrap admission inside the coordinator's public entry to centralise the
+release in one `finally`. The snapshot fuels the OTel gauge:
+
+```ts
+import { TWOPC_CODES, TwoPcError } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/error-codes";
+import { OutstandingPreparedCap } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/limits";
+
+class MiniCoordinator {
+    private readonly cap = new OutstandingPreparedCap(256);
+
+    snapshot() {
+        return this.cap.snapshot();
+    }
+
+    async run<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
+        try {
+            this.cap.admit();
+        } catch (err) {
+            if (
+                err instanceof TwoPcError &&
+                err.twoPcCode === TWOPC_CODES.OUTSTANDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
+            ) {
+                // route to degraded path
+                throw err;
+            }
+            throw err;
+        }
+        try {
+            return await fn();
+        } finally {
+            this.cap.release();
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `class OutstandingPreparedCap`
+  - `constructor(cap: number)` — throws
+    `TWOPC_OUTSTANDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` on invalid `cap`.
+  - `admit(): void` — throws
+    `TWOPC_OUTSTANDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` when at capacity.
+  - `release(): void` — idempotent below zero.
+  - `snapshot(): number` — current outstanding count.
+  - `capacity(): number` — configured cap.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Construction-time validation re-uses the same error code as the
+runtime cap-exceeded path. This is deliberate: operators tuning the
+cap via host config want one error string to alert on, regardless of
+whether the misconfiguration was a fractional value at startup or a
+real overload at steady state. The context object on the thrown
+`TwoPcError` distinguishes the two cases (`cap` only vs.
+`cap` + `outstanding`).
+
+The class is intentionally tiny — no async, no internal queue, no
+external dependencies. Adding a queue here would re-introduce the
+lock-storm risk the cap exists to prevent.

+# `limits/timeout-ceiling`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Enforces the hard 30 000 ms ceiling on caller-supplied `timeoutMs`
+values. The check fires at the public entry point of `run2pc` so
+above-ceiling calls never contact a participant; the operational
+warning in design doc §9.2 is that long prepares hold row-level locks,
+so surfacing the misuse loudly is more useful than silently clamping.
+
+This module is intentionally tiny — one function — because the
+behaviour is small but the gate is one of the most-asserted contracts
+in the spec.
+
+## Features
+
+- `assertTimeoutBelowCeiling(timeoutMs)` — throws
+  `TWOPC_TIMEOUT_CEILING_EXCEEDED` for above-ceiling, non-positive,
+  non-finite, or `NaN` inputs.
+- Re-uses the `TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS` constant from `options/` so the
+  ceiling stays a single source of truth.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { assertTimeoutBelowCeiling } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/limits";
+
+assertTimeoutBelowCeiling(5000); // ok
+assertTimeoutBelowCeiling(30001); // throws TWOPC_TIMEOUT_CEILING_EXCEEDED
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+The function is intentionally side-effect-free so callers can wrap it
+in a per-tenant override path:
+
+```ts
+import { TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/options";
+import { assertTimeoutBelowCeiling } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/limits";
+
+function resolveTimeout(
+    requested: number | undefined,
+    tenantMax: number
+): number {
+    const effective = requested ?? DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS;
+    assertTimeoutBelowCeiling(effective);
+    if (effective > tenantMax) {
+        return tenantMax;
+    }
+    if (effective > TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS) {
+        // unreachable given the assert above — included only to
+        // illustrate that the ceiling acts as the strict upper bound.
+        return TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS;
+    }
+    return effective;
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `function assertTimeoutBelowCeiling(timeoutMs: number): void`
+  - Throws `TwoPcError(TWOPC_CODES.TIMEOUT_CEILING_EXCEEDED)` for any
+    of: `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, values `<= 0`, values
+    `> TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The check rejects non-positive values for the same reason it rejects
+above-ceiling ones: an immediate or backwards-in-time deadline would
+collapse phase 1 to a single tick and the rollback path would fire
+before any participant could finish a real prepare. Treating that as
+the same misuse class as "30 minutes" is a deliberate ergonomic
+choice — operators get one error code to grep for.
+
+`Number.isFinite` is used in preference to `Number.isNaN` because the
+former covers `Infinity` and `-Infinity` in addition to `NaN`. The
+explicit `<= 0` check then excludes zero and negative-finite values.

+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Defines the boundary-validated option shape consumed by
+`createTwoPcCoordinator`. Every tunable that affects coordinator
+behaviour (host instance id, outstanding-prepared cap, default phase-1
+timeout) lives here, with Zod validation at the seam and explicit
+defaults pinned to the design doc §9.2 numbers.
+
+Centralising option resolution in one module keeps the coordinator
+free of conditional fallback logic — by the time it sees the resolved
+shape every field is concrete, so subsequent code never has to
+re-check `undefined`.
+
+## Features
+
+- `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS = 5000` — phase-1 deadline default per design
+  doc §9.2.
+- `TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS = 30000` — hard ceiling enforced at call time
+  (the coordinator's `limits/timeout-ceiling` module imports this).
+- `DEFAULT_OUTSTANDING_PREPARED_CAP = 256` — admission-control default
+  per design doc §14.
+- `twoPcCoordinatorOptionsSchema` — Zod schema, `strict()` so typos
+  surface as Zod errors instead of being silently ignored.
+- `resolveTwoPcCoordinatorOptions(raw)` — validates and fills in
+  defaults; returns the fully-populated `ResolvedTwoPcCoordinatorOptions`
+  shape the coordinator consumes.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS,
+    resolveTwoPcCoordinatorOptions,
+} from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/options";
+
+const resolved = resolveTwoPcCoordinatorOptions({
+    hostInstanceId: "host-01",
+});
+
+console.log(resolved.defaultTimeoutMs === DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS); // true
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Override every default — useful for canary hosts where operators want
+a tighter admission cap and a longer prepare window:
+
+```ts
+import { resolveTwoPcCoordinatorOptions } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/options";
+
+const resolved = resolveTwoPcCoordinatorOptions({
+    hostInstanceId: "canary-eu-west-1",
+    outstandingPreparedCap: 64,
+    defaultTimeoutMs: 15_000,
+});
+```
+
+Calls supplying `defaultTimeoutMs` above `TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS` raise a
+Zod error at this boundary — the coordinator's runtime ceiling check
+in `limits/timeout-ceiling.ts` then surfaces the misuse on per-call
+overrides as well.
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `const DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS: number` — 5000.
+- `const TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS: number` — 30000.
+- `const DEFAULT_OUTSTANDING_PREPARED_CAP: number` — 256.
+- `interface TwoPcCoordinatorOptions` — caller-supplied input shape.
+- `interface ResolvedTwoPcCoordinatorOptions` — internal shape after
+  defaults.
+- `const twoPcCoordinatorOptionsSchema: z.ZodType` — strict-shape
+  Zod schema.
+- `function resolveTwoPcCoordinatorOptions(raw): ResolvedTwoPcCoordinatorOptions`
+  — validates and resolves defaults.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The schema uses `.strict()` so unknown keys fail validation rather than
+silently being dropped. The default for `defaultTimeoutMs` is applied
+post-parse with `?? DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS` rather than via
+`z.default(...)` so the schema continues to reject above-ceiling
+values regardless of whether the caller supplied the field — Zod's
+`default` would short-circuit `.max()` checks when the field is
+omitted, which is the wrong shape for a ceiling-enforced option.
+
+The module deliberately does NOT re-throw Zod failures as
+`TwoPcError` — that's the responsibility of the coordinator's
+public entry points. Keeping this module pure of cross-package error
+mapping makes it reusable from tests that want a raw Zod surface for
+property-based shape testing.

+
+## Purpose
+
+Persists every coordinator state transition into the
+`suaveplan_2pc_transactions` ledger table. The table is owned by
+`@suaveplan/api-host` (migration id 2, `saga-2pc-reserved`); this
+module only reads and writes rows so the host stays the single source
+of truth for schema evolution.
+
+The ledger is what makes 2PC durable across coordinator restarts.
+Without it, a host that crashes mid-prepare would lose track of which
+participants were `PREPARE TRANSACTION`'d and could not safely choose
+between commit and rollback on the next boot.
+
+## Features
+
+- `TwoPcLedgerStore` — CRUD facade over `suaveplan_2pc_transactions`
+  with statements for every state transition (`insert`,
+  `markAllVotedCommit`, `markAborting`, `markCommitted`, `markAborted`,
+  `markInDoubt`).
+- `findById` — single-row lookup for state inspection.
+- `findRecoverable` — scan returning every non-terminal row for the
+  current host instance id. Drives `recovery/`.
+- `TwoPcLedgerStore.decodeParticipants` — static helper that parses the
+  `participants_json` blob back into a typed array.
+- Structural `LedgerDb` / `LedgerStatement` interfaces so the store
+  works with `bun:sqlite`, `@suaveplan/db-sqlite`'s thin wrapper, and
+  `better-sqlite3` without any concrete dependency.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { Database } from "bun:sqlite";
+import { TwoPcLedgerStore } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/persistence";
+
+const db = new Database(":memory:");
+// Schema is created by api-host's migration runner — see migrations.ts
+// migration id 2 (`saga-2pc-reserved`). In tests, run the host runner
+// against the same database.
+
+const store = new TwoPcLedgerStore(db as never);
+store.insert({
+    id: "tx-1",
+    coordinator: "host-instance-01",
+    participants: [
+        { participantId: "billing", voterMode: "writer", vote: null },
+    ],
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Walk the recovery candidates and decode each blob — the typical shape
+used inside `recovery/recovery.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import { TwoPcLedgerStore } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/persistence";
+
+function listRecoverable(store: TwoPcLedgerStore, hostId: string) {
+    const rows = store.findRecoverable(hostId);
+    return rows.map((row) => ({
+        id: row.id,
+        state: row.state,
+        participants: TwoPcLedgerStore.decodeParticipants(row),
+    }));
+}
+```
+
+The static `decodeParticipants` is deliberately exposed so callers
+working with raw rows (e.g. ad-hoc admin scripts) do not have to
+recreate the JSON contract themselves.
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `interface LedgerStatement` / `interface LedgerDb` — structural
+  SQLite-shaped views.
+- `interface TwoPcLedgerRow` — exact row shape returned by `findById`
+  / `findRecoverable`.
+- `interface LedgerParticipantEntry` — per-participant entry in
+  `participants_json`.
+- `class TwoPcLedgerStore`
+  - `constructor(db: LedgerDb)`
+  - `insert({ id, coordinator, participants })`
+  - `markAllVotedCommit({ id, participants, preparedAt })`
+  - `markAborting({ id, participants })`
+  - `markCommitted(id, committedAt)`
+  - `markAborted(id, abortedAt)`
+  - `markInDoubt(id)`
+  - `findById(id): TwoPcLedgerRow | null`
+  - `findRecoverable(coordinator): readonly TwoPcLedgerRow[]`
+  - `static decodeParticipants(row): readonly LedgerParticipantEntry[]`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Every UPDATE uses a single statement with the new `state` value
+matched against `TwoPcCoordinatorState`'s string-literal union — the
+`satisfies TwoPcCoordinatorState` annotation catches typos at compile
+time. The store does NOT enforce a state machine on top of the table;
+that responsibility belongs to the coordinator. Keeping the
+persistence layer state-machine-free lets recovery use the same store
+without conflating "what changed in this lifetime" with "what the row
+looked like after a crash".
+
+The `participants_json` blob is stored as a JSON string rather than a
+side table — the coordinator never queries by participant id, only by
+transaction id, so a JSON blob has zero indexing cost and survives
+schema evolution painlessly. `decodeParticipants` returns an empty
+array when the blob is not an array — defensive against rows
+hand-written by ad-hoc admin scripts.

+# `phases/commit`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Phase-2 commit for a single participant. Once every participant has
+returned `commit` from phase 1 and the coordinator has persisted the
+`all-voted-commit` state to the ledger, this module emits
+`COMMIT PREPARED '<gid>'` against each writer participant and records
+`2pc.commit_duration_ms`.
+
+Phase 2 is intentionally unbounded by timeout — the protocol cannot
+tolerate giving up on a commit-prepared mid-flight, because doing so
+would leave the system in `in_doubt` state and require the recovery
+runner to resolve it on the next boot.
+
+## Features
+
+- Skips participants that did not actually prepare (`outcome.prepared
+  === false`) — read-only voters and abort-voters never see commit
+  SQL.
+- Emits a `2pc.commit` span with `tx.id`, `participant.id`, and `gid`
+  attributes.
+- Records `2pc.commit_duration_ms` tagged with `outcome: "committed"`
+  on success.
+- Failure preserves the underlying cause on a thrown
+  `TwoPcError(TWOPC_COMMIT_FAILED)`; the coordinator escalates to
+  `TWOPC_IN_DOUBT` once it has tried every participant.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { commitPhaseTwo } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+
+await commitPhaseTwo({
+    txId,
+    participant,
+    outcome: preparedOutcome,
+    instruments,
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+The coordinator collects per-participant failures rather than
+short-circuiting — every participant gets attempted exactly once so
+operators can see the full picture in the ledger:
+
+```ts
+import { TWOPC_CODES, TwoPcError } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/error-codes";
+import { commitPhaseTwo } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+
+const failures: TwoPcError[] = [];
+for (const outcome of preparedOutcomes) {
+    if (!outcome.prepared) continue;
+    try {
+        await commitPhaseTwo({
+            txId,
+            participant: registry.get(outcome.participantId)!,
+            outcome,
+            instruments,
+        });
+    } catch (err) {
+        if (err instanceof TwoPcError) failures.push(err);
+        else throw err;
+    }
+}
+if (failures.length > 0) {
+    // ledger.markInDoubt(txId); recovery resolves on next boot
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `interface CommitPhaseInput`
+  - `txId: string`
+  - `participant: RegisteredTwoPcParticipant`
+  - `outcome: ParticipantPrepareOutcome` — the phase-1 result.
+  - `instruments: TwoPcInstruments`
+- `function commitPhaseTwo(input): Promise<void>`
+  - no-op for `outcome.prepared === false`
+  - throws `TwoPcError(TWOPC_COMMIT_FAILED)` on SQL failure.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The gid stored on the prepare outcome is the single source of truth —
+this module never rebuilds it. Reusing the prepare-time value
+defends against the unlikely case where a host-config change between
+phases would have produced a different gid: the SQL the coordinator
+needs to send is exactly the one it prepared with.
+
+The SQL escape (`replace(/'/g, "''")`) matches the prepare-phase
+treatment so a gid containing the unlikely quote character would
+still produce valid SQL. The escape is cheap; the defence-in-depth
+costs nothing on the happy path.

+# `phases/gid`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Builds and parses the global transaction id (gid) string passed to
+Postgres' `PREPARE TRANSACTION '<gid>'`. The format embeds the host
+instance id so the recovery scanner can filter `pg_prepared_xacts` to
+only the rows this coordinator owns — without that anchor, two
+coordinators sharing a Postgres host would clobber each other's
+recovery decisions.
+
+The module is intentionally pure: no SQL, no client. Centralising the
+gid format here makes the recovery filter and the per-participant
+prepare path share a single source of truth.
+
+## Features
+
+- `buildGid(hostInstanceId, txId, participantId)` — produces
+  `2pc-<host>-<tx>-<participant>`.
+- `parseGid(gid, hostInstanceId)` — extracts `{ txId, participantId }`
+  for gids written by the supplied host; returns `null` otherwise so
+  recovery skips foreign prepared transactions silently. The
+  hostInstanceId is supplied by the caller (the recovery runner)
+  because the host id itself may contain hyphens and the parser cannot
+  recover it unambiguously from the gid alone.
+- `gidPrefixFor(hostInstanceId)` — the prefix the recovery SQL filter
+  uses; centralised so SQL and parser never drift.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { buildGid, parseGid } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+
+const gid = buildGid("host-01", "tx-abc", "billing");
+// "2pc-host-01-tx-abc-billing"
+
+const parts = parseGid(gid, "host-01");
+// { txId: "tx-abc", participantId: "billing" }
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Recovery uses the prefix filter to ignore prepared transactions
+written by other components sharing the database:
+
+```ts
+import { gidPrefixFor, parseGid } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+
+const prefix = gidPrefixFor("host-01");
+const rows = await db.run<{ gid: string }>(
+    `SELECT gid FROM pg_prepared_xacts WHERE gid LIKE $1`,
+    [`${prefix}%`]
+);
+for (const row of rows) {
+    const parts = parseGid(row.gid, "host-01");
+    if (parts === null) continue; // foreign prepared transaction
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `buildGid(hostInstanceId: string, txId: string, participantId: string): string`
+- `parseGid(gid: string, hostInstanceId: string): { txId, participantId } | null`
+- `gidPrefixFor(hostInstanceId: string): string`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`parseGid` takes the caller-supplied `hostInstanceId` and strips the
+prefix `2pc-<host>-` before extracting `txId` and `participantId`.
+The host instance id is supplied explicitly because hyphens are
+allowed inside it (production hosts often look like `host-eu-west-1`)
+and the parser cannot recover the boundary from the gid alone. The
+recovery runner always knows its own host id, so this constraint is
+ergonomic in practice.
+
+Participant ids are constrained by the registry (and by host config)
+to not contain hyphens, so the LAST hyphen after the prefix
+unambiguously delimits the `participantId` from the `txId`.
+
+The function returns `null` rather than throwing on unrecognised gids
+because the recovery scan iterates over rows that may include prepared
+transactions written by code outside this package's control — Postgres
+has no participant-tag column, only the gid string itself, so the
+shared-database scenario is a legitimate concern.

+# `phases/prepare`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Implements phase 1 of the 2PC protocol for a single participant. The
+coordinator iterates participants and calls this module for each;
+unanimous commit votes trigger phase 2, any abort or prepare failure
+short-circuits to rollback. This module is the only place the
+`PREPARE TRANSACTION '<gid>'` SQL is emitted, so the gid format
+(`phases/gid`) and the SQL emission point stay co-located.
+
+Phase 1 is the latency-sensitive half of 2PC: every participant holds
+row-level locks for the duration. The module records
+`2pc.prepare_duration_ms` so operators can spot creeping lock holds
+before they cause throughput regressions.
+
+## Features
+
+- Runs the participant's `prepare` callback, then the
+  `PREPARE TRANSACTION` SQL when the vote is `commit` AND the
+  participant is a writer.
+- Skips the SQL for read-only voters — they participate in the vote
+  only.
+- Refuses a read-only voter that returned `writeIntent: true` with
+  `TWOPC_READ_ONLY_PARTICIPANT_CANNOT_WRITE`.
+- Honours an `AbortSignal` for the phase-1 deadline; aborted SQL is
+  remapped to `TWOPC_TIMEOUT`.
+- Emits a `2pc.prepare` span around the whole call and records a
+  `2pc.prepare_duration_ms` observation tagged with the outcome.
+- Failure cases preserve the underlying cause on the thrown
+  `TwoPcError`.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { preparePhaseOne } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+
+const outcome = await preparePhaseOne({
+    hostInstanceId: "host-01",
+    txId,
+    participant,
+    payload: { invoiceId: "inv-1" },
+    instruments,
+    signal: ac.signal,
+});
+if (outcome.vote === "abort") {
+    // run rollback for every participant that voted commit
+}
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+The coordinator runs this in a loop. Read-only voters interleave
+freely with writers — the outcome's `prepared` flag tells phase 2
+whether to send commit/rollback SQL:
+
+```ts
+import { preparePhaseOne } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+
+const outcomes: ParticipantPrepareOutcome[] = [];
+for (const p of registry.list()) {
+    const o = await preparePhaseOne({
+        hostInstanceId,
+        txId,
+        participant: p,
+        payload: payloadFor(p),
+        instruments,
+        signal,
+    });
+    outcomes.push(o);
+    if (o.vote === "abort") break; // short-circuit
+}
+
+// phase 2: commit only those with prepared === true
+const writers = outcomes.filter((o) => o.prepared);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `interface ParticipantPrepareOutcome` — `{ participantId, vote,
+  prepared, gid }`.
+- `interface PreparePhaseInput` — `{ hostInstanceId, txId,
+  participant, payload, instruments, signal }`.
+- `function preparePhaseOne(input): Promise<ParticipantPrepareOutcome>`
+  - throws `TWOPC_PREPARE_FAILED` when the participant callback or
+    SQL raises (signal not aborted),
+  - throws `TWOPC_TIMEOUT` when the signal aborted around the SQL,
+  - throws `TWOPC_READ_ONLY_PARTICIPANT_CANNOT_WRITE` when a read-only
+    voter returned `writeIntent: true`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The SQL escape strategy is conservative: gids are built from the host
+instance id, transaction id, and participant id — all three are
+already validated at host config / id-generator / registry time — but
+the function still calls `.replace(/'/g, "''")` before interpolating
+into the `PREPARE TRANSACTION` statement. The runtime cost is zero on
+the happy path and the defence-in-depth is cheap. The coordinator
+never accepts user-supplied SQL fragments.
+
+The span is started before the prepare callback so the participant's
+own work shows up in the trace as a child of the `2pc.prepare` span if
+the participant opens its own spans against the same tracer. The
+`finally`-block `span.end()` guarantees the span is closed regardless
+of which branch fires.

+# `phases/rollback`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Phase-2 rollback for a single participant. Used both by the
+coordinator's abort path (vote_abort or prepare failure) and by the
+recovery runner (orphan with no `all-voted-commit` ledger row).
+
+The function is idempotent at the protocol level: Postgres returns
+`42704` (`undefined_object`, "prepared transaction does not exist")
+for a gid that was already rolled back, and this module catches that
+specific error and treats it as a no-op. That property is what makes
+recovery safe to re-run on every boot.
+
+## Features
+
+- Emits `ROLLBACK PREPARED '<gid>'` against the participant's
+  connection.
+- Idempotent against Postgres `42704` — a second rollback against the
+  same gid is a no-op.
+- Skips participants that did not actually prepare (`outcome.prepared
+  === false`).
+- Emits a `2pc.rollback` span with `tx.id`, `participant.id`, and
+  `gid` attributes.
+- Failure preserves the underlying cause on a thrown
+  `TwoPcError(TWOPC_ROLLBACK_FAILED)`.
+- Exports `isUnknownPreparedTransaction(cause)` so the recovery
+  runner can apply the same idempotency check without duplicating the
+  SQLSTATE sniff.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { rollbackPhaseTwo } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+
+await rollbackPhaseTwo({
+    txId,
+    participant,
+    outcome: preparedOutcome,
+    instruments,
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Recovery uses the same idempotency check directly to short-circuit
+when the row was concurrently resolved:
+
+```ts
+import {
+    isUnknownPreparedTransaction,
+    rollbackPhaseTwo,
+} from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+
+try {
+    await rollbackPhaseTwo({ txId, participant, outcome, instruments });
+} catch (err) {
+    if (
+        err instanceof TwoPcError &&
+        err.twoPcCode === TWOPC_CODES.ROLLBACK_FAILED &&
+        isUnknownPreparedTransaction(err.cause)
+    ) {
+        // race: another process already rolled this back — treat as success
+    } else {
+        throw err;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `interface RollbackPhaseInput` — same fields as `CommitPhaseInput`.
+- `function rollbackPhaseTwo(input): Promise<void>`
+  - no-op for `outcome.prepared === false`
+  - throws `TwoPcError(TWOPC_ROLLBACK_FAILED)` on non-idempotency SQL
+    failure.
+- `function isUnknownPreparedTransaction(cause: unknown): boolean`
+  - matches SQLSTATE `42704` AND the substring `"does not exist"` as
+    a fallback for drivers that omit the SQLSTATE.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The idempotency check sniffs both `cause.code` and `cause.message`
+because the two postgres clients in use (`postgres`/porsager and
+`pg.Client`) surface the SQLSTATE differently. Using both lets the
+module work against either driver without a wrapper layer.
+
+The function is split into a small public `rollbackPhaseTwo` and an
+exported `isUnknownPreparedTransaction` helper so recovery can re-use
+the idempotency predicate without re-implementing it. Recovery sees
+this exact race regularly: the coordinator and the recovery runner
+both target the same prepared gid when a host restarts mid-rollback.

+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Boot-time orphan resolution for the 2PC coordinator. When a host
+crashes between phase 1 and phase 2, prepared transactions remain
+held in `pg_prepared_xacts` on every writer participant. The recovery
+runner sweeps those rows on the next boot, consults the host-owned
+ledger, and either commits or rolls back each one — guaranteeing the
+"once prepared, eventually resolved" half of the 2PC durability
+property.
+
+The runner is the only path that should ever resolve an in-doubt
+transaction. The coordinator's hot path NEVER auto-recovers; it
+escalates to `TWOPC_IN_DOUBT` and lets the next-boot recovery sweep
+handle it. That separation keeps the hot path's failure handling
+small and the recovery path testable in isolation.
+
+## Features
+
+- `resolveRecovery({ hostInstanceId, ledger, probes, onResolved })` —
+  the entry point. Returns a `RecoveryReport` enumerating committed,
+  rolled-back, skipped, and errored gids.
+- Idempotent — re-running the function on a host with no outstanding
+  prepared transactions is a no-op (the inner `queryOrphans` returns
+  an empty list).
+- Treats Postgres `42704` ("does not exist") as success during
+  rollback — covers the race where another process already resolved
+  the orphan.
+- Marks rows as `in_doubt` on unresolvable errors so the next sweep
+  can retry; errored gids are surfaced on the report rather than
+  thrown.
+- `buildProbeFromRegistry(registry)` — convenience adapter that
+  spins up one probe per writer participant.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    buildProbeFromRegistry,
+    resolveRecovery,
+} from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/recovery";
+
+const report = await resolveRecovery({
+    hostInstanceId: "host-01",
+    ledger,
+    probes: buildProbeFromRegistry(registry),
+});
+
+console.log(
+    `committed=${report.committed.length} ` +
+        `rolledBack=${report.rolledBack.length} ` +
+        `errors=${report.errors.length}`
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Wire a custom probe to feed an alternate identifier convention or a
+replicated-read connection — useful when the recovery sweep should
+hit a read replica to avoid contending with the live writer:
+
+```ts
+import { gidPrefixFor } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/phases";
+import { resolveRecovery, type RecoveryProbe } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/recovery";
+
+const probes: RecoveryProbe[] = [
+    {
+        participantId: "billing",
+        async queryOrphans(prefix) {
+            const rows = await readReplica.unsafe<{ gid: string }[]>(
+                `SELECT gid FROM pg_prepared_xacts WHERE gid LIKE $1`,
+                [`${prefix}%`]
+            );
+            return rows.map((r) => r.gid);
+        },
+        async commit(gid) {
+            await primary.unsafe(`COMMIT PREPARED $1`, [gid]);
+        },
+        async rollback(gid) {
+            await primary.unsafe(`ROLLBACK PREPARED $1`, [gid]);
+        },
+    },
+];
+
+const report = await resolveRecovery({
+    hostInstanceId: "host-01",
+    ledger,
+    probes,
+    onResolved: (e) => log.info(e),
+});
+```

+## Implementation Notes
+
+The ledger lookup uses the gid's parsed `txId` as the primary key —
+the gid format from `phases/gid.ts` is what makes that mapping
+unambiguous. Rows whose ledger state is `committing` OR `committed`
+trigger `COMMIT PREPARED`; everything else (including missing rows)
+triggers `ROLLBACK PREPARED`. That asymmetric default ("rollback by
+default") is the safe choice — committing a row whose ledger does
+not explicitly say "all voted commit" would violate the design
+guarantee.
+
+The `42704` swallow during rollback is what makes the runner safe to
+re-execute: if the previous sweep crashed AFTER rolling back the
+prepared transaction but BEFORE updating the ledger, the second
+sweep will see the orphan listed in `pg_prepared_xacts` (or not, if
+truly gone) and will not throw on the "does not exist" follow-up.
+Errors that cannot be classified as idempotency are captured per-gid
+and surfaced on the report — operators page-on `errors.length > 0`,
+not on a generic throw.

+# `registry/`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+The participant registry is the install-time admission control between
+plugins and the 2PC coordinator. Plugins declare
+`twoPhaseCommit.participates: true` in their manifest; the host
+registers them with this registry; the registry refuses any writer
+whose bound database engine cannot honour `PREPARE TRANSACTION`.
+
+This is where the design doc §9.2 rule "SQLite and SurrealDB MUST NOT
+participate as writers" is enforced. The capability check is injected
+as a callback so the registry stays decoupled from
+`@suaveplan/api-host`'s concrete `CapabilityRegistry`.
+
+## Features
+
+- `TwoPcParticipantRegistry.register(participant)` — refuses writers
+  without `db.preparable`; accepts read-only voters regardless of
+  engine.
+- `get(id)` / `list()` / `size()` / `unregister(id)` — standard
+  registry surface.
+- Injection seam: `PreparableCapabilityCheck` is a plain
+  `(id: string) => boolean` callback — zero coupling to api-host.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { TwoPcParticipantRegistry } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/registry";
+
+const isPreparable = (pluginId: string) =>
+    pluginId === "billing" || pluginId === "inventory";
+
+const registry = new TwoPcParticipantRegistry(isPreparable);
+registry.register({
+    id: "billing",
+    voterMode: "writer",
+    connection: { engine: "postgres", run: pg.unsafe.bind(pg) },
+    prepare: billingPrepareCallback,
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Refusing a SQLite-backed plugin as a writer happens at register-time
+— wrap the registration in a try/catch to surface the failure to the
+plugin loader without crashing the host boot:
+
+```ts
+import { TWOPC_CODES, TwoPcError } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/error-codes";
+import { TwoPcParticipantRegistry } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/registry";
+
+function safeRegisterParticipants(
+    registry: TwoPcParticipantRegistry,

+
+The same plugin can then re-register as a `read-only` voter — the
+registry accepts read-only voters regardless of engine, because the
+coordinator never sends them prepare/commit SQL.
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `type PreparableCapabilityCheck = (participantId: string) => boolean`
+  — capability resolver injected at construction.
+- `class TwoPcParticipantRegistry`
+  - `constructor(isPreparable: PreparableCapabilityCheck)`
+  - `register(participant): void` — throws
+    `TWOPC_PARTICIPANT_NOT_PREPARABLE` on writer refusal.
+  - `get(id): RegisteredTwoPcParticipant | undefined`
+  - `list(): readonly RegisteredTwoPcParticipant[]`
+  - `size(): number`
+  - `unregister(id): boolean`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The registry refuses a writer at `register`-time rather than at
+`run2pc`-time. This is deliberate — admission failures should surface
+during plugin install, not when the first 2PC transaction is attempted
+in production. The capability check fires only for writers; read-only
+voters are accepted unconditionally because the coordinator drops their
+connection from phase-2 SQL traffic. The second-half guard against
+read-only voters that try to write a payload lives in
+`phases/prepare.ts` (raising `TWOPC_READ_ONLY_PARTICIPANT_CANNOT_WRITE`
+when the participant returns `writeIntent: true`).
+
+`unregister` exists for hot-reload paths: when a plugin is removed
+from the running host, the registry drops its participant entry so
+subsequent `run2pc` calls cannot accidentally route to it.

+# `testing/`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Provides `run2pcParticipantConformance(factory)` — a runnable test
+suite that pins the contract every 2PC writer participant MUST honour.
+Adapter authors drop a single import + invocation into a
+`tests/conformance/run-2pc-participant.test.ts` file in their package;
+the harness handles the rest.
+
+Shipping the harness on this package's `./testing` subpath keeps
+participants accountable to the same prepare/commit/rollback semantics
+the coordinator depends on at runtime. Without this harness, drift
+between participant implementations would only surface during
+integration testing — too late.
+
+## Features
+
+- Six pinned invariants (engine identifier, voter mode, prepare-then-
+  prepare-SQL, commit-prepared, rollback-prepared, idempotency-on-
+  second-rollback).
+- Per-scenario factory: every test starts from a fresh participant +
+  teardown so the suite is isolation-safe under parallel runs.
+- Uses `@suaveplan/testing/runner` — works under both Vitest and
+  Bun:test without re-importing.
+- Generates unique gids per scenario so re-runs do not collide.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+// In an adapter package's tests/conformance/run-2pc-participant.test.ts
+import { run2pcParticipantConformance } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/testing";
+import { createMyParticipant, teardownMyParticipant } from "../helpers";
+
+run2pcParticipantConformance({
+    async create() {
+        const participant = await createMyParticipant();
+        return {
+            participant,
+            teardown: () => teardownMyParticipant(participant),
+        };
+    },
+});
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+The harness exposes no surface beyond `run2pcParticipantConformance` —
+deliberately. Adapter-specific assertions belong in adapter test
+files, not in the conformance harness. If your adapter needs to
+exercise behaviour the suite does not cover (e.g. cancellation,
+custom serialization), add a sibling test file:
+
+```ts
+import { describe, it } from "@suaveplan/testing/runner";
+import { run2pcParticipantConformance } from "@suaveplan/api-2pc/testing";
+
+describe("my-participant", () => {
+    run2pcParticipantConformance({ create: createMyParticipant });
+
+    it("cancels a stuck prepare on signal abort", { timeout: 30_000 }, async () => {
+        // adapter-specific assertion
+    });
+});
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `interface TwoPcParticipantFactory`
+  - `create(): Promise<{ participant: RegisteredTwoPcParticipant; teardown: () => Promise<void> }>`
+- `function run2pcParticipantConformance(factory): void`
+  - Registers six `describe`/`it` blocks against the surrounding
+    runner. Returns nothing.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The harness deliberately does NOT use a shared Postgres connection
+across scenarios. Each scenario calls `factory.create()` to get a
+fresh participant; the factory is expected to wire its own connection
+(directly to a Postgres container, against a shared pool, or against
+an `env-bridge` passthrough URL). This isolation prevents one
+scenario's leftover prepared transactions from contaminating the
+next.
+
+Gids embed `Date.now()` + a random suffix so re-runs within the same
+millisecond never collide on the underlying `pg_prepared_xacts`
+table. The cleanup `ROLLBACK PREPARED` at the end of the
+prepare-only scenario is best-effort: failure to roll back leaves
+the gid prepared until the next teardown sweep, but the harness's
+own teardown handle is the primary cleanup path.
+
+The harness is intentionally NOT exported from the package root (`./`
+subpath) — only `./testing`. This mirrors the convention used by
+sibling packages (`@suaveplan/i18n-shared/testing`,
+`@suaveplan/api-host/testing`) so production code can not accidentally
+depend on test-only symbols.

+# `types/`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Shared cross-module type definitions for the 2PC coordinator. Holds
+the `TwoPcCoordinatorState` state-machine alphabet, the
+`PreparableConnection` and `RegisteredTwoPcParticipant` participant
+shapes, the `Run2PcInput` / `Run2PcOutcome` public input/output
+contracts, and the `TwoPcPrepareResult` per-participant prepare
+return type.
+
+Centralising these types here prevents the cyclic-import smell that
+would otherwise emerge from `coordinator/`, `phases/`, `recovery/`,
+and `registry/` all needing to know the same wire shapes. The
+sibling modules import from this barrel and stay decoupled from each
+other at the type level.
+
+## Features
+
+- `TwoPcCoordinatorState` — string-literal union covering
+  `voting`, `committing`, `aborting`, `committed`, `aborted`,
+  `in_doubt`.
+- `PreparableConnection` — structural connection shape exposing
+  `engine` (a `DatabaseEngine` from `@suaveplan/api-types/db`) and
+  `run(sql, params?)` returning a `Promise<R>`.
+- `RegisteredTwoPcParticipant` — coordinator-side participant view
+  carrying `id`, `voterMode`, `connection`, and an async
+  `prepare(txId, payload) => TwoPcPrepareResult` callback.
+- `TwoPcPrepareResult` — `{ vote, writeIntent }` returned by a
+  participant's `prepare` callback.
+- `Run2PcInput` / `Run2PcOutcome` — public input/output contracts
+  accepted and returned by `run2pc`.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    Run2PcInput,
+    RegisteredTwoPcParticipant,
+} from "@suaveplan/api-2pc";
+
+const input: Run2PcInput = {
+    participants: [{ id: "billing", input: { invoiceId: "inv-1" } }],
+    timeoutMs: 5000,
+};
+
+const billing: RegisteredTwoPcParticipant = {
+    id: "billing",
+    voterMode: "writer",
+    connection: { engine: "postgres", run: pg.unsafe.bind(pg) },
+    prepare: async (_txId) => ({ vote: "commit", writeIntent: true }),
+};
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Read-only voter typing — combine `voterMode: "read-only"` with a
+`writeIntent: false` invariant on the `prepare` return shape:
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    RegisteredTwoPcParticipant,
+    TwoPcPrepareResult,
+} from "@suaveplan/api-2pc";
+
+async function auditPrepare(): Promise<TwoPcPrepareResult> {
+    const ok = await checkConsistency();
+    return { vote: ok ? "commit" : "abort", writeIntent: false };
+}
+
+const audit: RegisteredTwoPcParticipant = {
+    id: "audit",
+    voterMode: "read-only",
+    connection: { engine: "surrealdb", run: surrealUnsafe },
+    prepare: () => auditPrepare(),
+};
+```
+
+The coordinator refuses a read-only voter whose `prepare` returns
+`writeIntent: true` with `TWOPC_READ_ONLY_PARTICIPANT_CANNOT_WRITE`
+— the static type doesn't enforce that pairing, but the runtime
+boundary does.
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `type TwoPcCoordinatorState`
+- `interface PreparableConnection`
+- `interface RegisteredTwoPcParticipant`
+- `interface TwoPcPrepareResult`
+- `interface Run2PcInput`
+- `interface Run2PcOutcome`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Every interface is `readonly` on every field. This is deliberate —
+the coordinator caches inputs (participant lookups, ledger entries)
+and a mutation by accident would corrupt in-flight state. The
+strictness is enforced at the type level via `readonly` plus
+`ReadonlyArray<...>` and at the runtime level by the boundary Zod
+schemas in `options/` (for caller-facing inputs).
+
+The `Run2PcOutcome.state` field uses `Extract<TwoPcCoordinatorState,
+"committed" | "aborted" | "in_doubt">` so callers do not have to
+exhaustively switch over the in-flight states (`voting`,
+`committing`, `aborting`) that never appear on a returned outcome.
+The structural typing of `PreparableConnection` keeps the package
+independent of `pg` and `postgres` (porsager) — both clients can be
+adapted at the seam with a one-line wrapper.
