+# @bymax-one/nest-storage — Architecture Deep Dive
+
+For a concise agent quick reference, see `CLAUDE.md`. This document explains the internal design decisions in sufficient depth for an AI agent (or human contributor) to make correct changes without misunderstanding the system.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Package Design
+
+### 1.1 Single-engine, provider-agnostic
+
+The entire library wraps a single `@aws-sdk/client-s3` `S3Client`. There is no provider-specific branching in the core services — the differences between AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, and Wasabi are expressed as `BymaxStorageModuleOptions` (configuration), not as code branches. Provider-specific config is produced by the `providerRecipes` helpers.
+
+### 1.2 Zero runtime dependencies
+
+`package.json` ships `"dependencies": {}`. Every runtime dependency is a `peerDependency` — the consumer application controls the versions. This minimises the library's supply-chain footprint.
+
+### 1.3 Two subpath exports
+
+| Subpath | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `.` (server) | NestJS module, services, provider recipes, DI tokens, interfaces, errors |
+| `./shared` | Framework-free types (`UploadResult`, `ObjectMetadata`, `ListedObject`, `SignedUrlResult`) + `STORAGE_ERROR_CODES` |
+
+The shared subpath has zero `@nestjs/*` imports — it can be used safely in edge workers, browser code, or other non-NestJS contexts.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Dynamic Module (`forRoot` / `forRootAsync`)
+
+`BymaxStorageModule` is a `@Global()` dynamic NestJS module. It exposes two static methods:
+
+### 2.1 `forRoot(options: BymaxStorageModuleOptions)`
+
+Synchronous configuration. Calls `validateOptions(options)` (throws `STORAGE_INVALID_CONFIG` on failure) and `applyDefaults(options)` to produce a `ResolvedStorageOptions` object. Returns a `DynamicModule` that registers all internal providers and exports the public ones.
+
+### 2.2 `forRootAsync(options: BymaxStorageModuleAsyncOptions)`
+
+Asynchronous configuration — supports `useFactory`, `useClass`, and `useExisting` patterns. The factory is resolved by the NestJS DI container at module init time. Internally, the async options are normalised into a provider that produces the same `ResolvedStorageOptions` as `forRoot`.
+
+### 2.3 `@Global()` scope
+
+The module is global so that `StorageService` and `SignedUrlService` can be injected into any module without re-importing `BymaxStorageModule`. This matches the `@nestjs/config` and `@nestjs/cache-manager` conventions.
+
+### 2.4 DI tokens (`Symbol`)
+
+All internal providers are registered behind `Symbol()` tokens defined in `bymax-storage.constants.ts`:
+
+| Token | Provides |
+|---|---|
+| `BYMAX_STORAGE_OPTIONS` | `ResolvedStorageOptions` |
+| `BYMAX_STORAGE_S3_CLIENT` | `S3Client` instance (raw — for advanced ops) |
+| `BYMAX_STORAGE_UPLOAD_VALIDATORS` | `IUploadValidator[]` |
+| `BYMAX_STORAGE_FILE_SCANNER` | `IFileScanner` (or `NoOpFileScanner`) |
+| `BYMAX_STORAGE_LOGGER` | `Logger` instance |
+| `BYMAX_STORAGE_IDEMPOTENCY_CACHE` | `IdempotencyCache` |
+
+`BYMAX_STORAGE_S3_CLIENT` is **exported** (public surface) so consumers can inject the raw client for provider-specific operations not covered by `StorageService`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. `S3ClientProvider` — Lifecycle
+
+`S3ClientProvider` is an internal `@Injectable()` class that owns the `S3Client` lifecycle.
+
+### 3.1 `onModuleInit`
+
+The `S3Client` is created lazily in `onModuleInit`, not in the constructor. This allows the module to register successfully even when credentials are absent (missing credentials at init time produce a warning log; the first operation will fail with `STORAGE_NOT_CONFIGURED` rather than crashing the application at startup — the "silent failure on init" principle from the original `SpacesService`).
+
+The S3Client config is built from `ResolvedStorageOptions`, including:
+- `endpoint`, `region`, `forcePathStyle`, `credentials`, `maxAttempts`
+- `requestChecksumCalculation`, `responseChecksumValidation` (the non-AWS checksum opt-out fields; see §7)
+
+### 3.2 `onApplicationShutdown`
+
+`s3Client.destroy()` is called in `onApplicationShutdown` to release the HTTP connection pool. This prevents file-descriptor leaks during graceful shutdown.
+
+### 3.3 `getClient()` — fail-closed
+
+`getClient()` throws `STORAGE_NOT_CONFIGURED` (HTTP 503) if the client was not initialised (credentials absent at startup). It never returns `undefined`.
+
+### 3.4 Retries
+
+Retry behaviour is controlled by `maxAttempts` (default `3`). This is the AWS SDK v3 knob; the v2 `maxRetries` option does not exist in v3 and is never used.
+
+---
+
+## 4. `KeyResolverService` — Path-Traversal Guard
+
+`KeyResolverService` is the security boundary between user-supplied key strings and the AWS SDK. It must be called for every key before that key reaches any SDK command.
+
+### 4.1 Normalisation
+
+1. Trim whitespace.
+2. Collapse multiple consecutive `/` separators to a single `/`.
+3. Resolve `./` prefixes (these are safe but normalised away for consistency).
+
+### 4.2 Guards (fail-closed)
+
+After normalisation:
+
+- Reject if the key is empty.
+- Reject if any path segment is `..` (path traversal).
+- Reject if the normalised key starts with `/`.
+
+All rejections throw `STORAGE_KEY_INVALID` (HTTP 400) with a `details.reason` describing the specific guard that fired.
+
+### 4.3 `keyPrefix` application
+
+If `keyPrefix` is set in `ResolvedStorageOptions`, it is prepended to the normalised key. The result is the final resolved key. `keyPrefix` itself is validated at module init time (the same guards apply — it must not traverse up).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Validation Pipeline
+
+The validation pipeline runs inside `StorageService.upload()` before any bytes are sent to the provider. It is composed of three sequential stages:
+
+```
+checkMime(contentType, mimeWhitelist)
+  → checkSize(size, maxSizeBytes)
+  → runCustomValidators(body, validators, readBytes)
+  → runPreUploadScanner(body, scanner)
+```
+
+### 5.1 `checkMime`
+
+Validates `contentType` against `mimeWhitelist` using `mime-match.ts`. Wildcards are supported (`'image/*'` matches `'image/jpeg'`, `'image/png'`, etc.). Throws `STORAGE_MIME_NOT_ALLOWED` (HTTP 415) on mismatch.
+
+### 5.2 `checkSize`
+
+Validates `size` (if provided) against `maxSizeBytes`. Throws `STORAGE_SIZE_EXCEEDED` (HTTP 413) when `size > maxSizeBytes`. Note: `size` is optional in `UploadOptions` — when absent, this check is skipped (the provider may still reject oversized objects).
+
+### 5.3 Custom `IUploadValidator`
+
+Each registered `IUploadValidator.validate(input)` is called with `{ body, readBytes }`. The `readBytes(n)` helper peeks at the first `n` bytes of the body stream without consuming it (uses a `PassThrough` tee). On failure, the validator returns `{ valid: false, reason: string }`; the pipeline throws `STORAGE_VALIDATION_FAILED` (HTTP 400).
+
+### 5.4 `IFileScanner` (pre-upload)
+
+If `scanner.mode` is `'pre-upload'` or `'both'`, the scanner runs before the upload. `'infected'` → `STORAGE_SCAN_INFECTED` (HTTP 422). `'unknown'` → `STORAGE_SCAN_INCONCLUSIVE` (HTTP 422) when `rejectOnUnknown: true`; otherwise logged and allowed through.
+
+### 5.5 Post-upload scanner
+
+If `scanner.mode` is `'post-upload'` or `'both'`, the scanner runs after a successful upload. On `'infected'`, the uploaded object is deleted and `STORAGE_SCAN_INFECTED` is thrown. On delete failure, the error is logged but the scan rejection is still surfaced.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Signed-URL TTL Clamp (`ttl-clamp.ts`)
+
+The SigV4 specification hard-limits presigned URL validity to 604 800 seconds (7 days). The clamp logic:
+
+1. At module init: `signedUrls.maxTtlSeconds` is clamped to `min(maxTtlSeconds, 604800)`. Values above 7 days are silently reduced.
+2. Per-request: if `ttlSeconds` is ≤ 0, throw `STORAGE_SIGNED_URL_TTL_INVALID` (HTTP 400).
+3. Per-request: if `ttlSeconds` > `maxTtlSeconds`, silently clamp to `maxTtlSeconds`. The caller receives a URL with a shorter TTL than requested without an error — the ceiling is an operational constraint, not a per-request contract.
+
+This asymmetry is intentional: rejecting TTL ≤ 0 prevents a degenerate (immediately-expired) URL; silently clamping high TTLs avoids breaking callers that request a long TTL on a system configured for a shorter maximum.
+
+---
+
+## 7. LRU Idempotency Cache (`idempotency-cache.ts`)
+
+The idempotency cache stores `UploadResult` objects keyed by `idempotencyKey`. It prevents duplicate uploads when the same logical object is submitted more than once (e.g. retry after a network timeout on the client side).
+
+| Property | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Max entries | 1 000 | LRU eviction when full |
+| TTL per entry | 24 h | Entries expire after 24 hours regardless of LRU position |
+| Scope | Per process instance | Not shared across replicas |
+
+**Multi-replica caveat:** two pods can each receive the same `idempotencyKey` simultaneously and both upload the object. A distributed `IIdempotencyStore` (backed by Redis or a DB) is planned for v0.2.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Provider Recipes
+
+`providerRecipes` is a plain object (`as const`) with one factory per provider. Each factory accepts a provider-specific input shape and returns a `BymaxStorageModuleOptions` ready to spread into `forRoot`/`forRootAsync`.
+
+### 8.1 The non-AWS checksum opt-out (the #1 provider-compat trap)
+
+`@aws-sdk/client-s3` ≥ 3.729.0 defaults `requestChecksumCalculation` to `'WHEN_SUPPORTED'`, adding CRC32 `x-amz-checksum-*` integrity headers on every `PutObject` and `UploadPart`. R2, B2, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Wasabi **reject** these headers.
+
+The shared constant:
+
+```typescript
+const NON_AWS_CHECKSUM = {
+  requestChecksumCalculation: 'WHEN_REQUIRED',
+  responseChecksumValidation: 'WHEN_REQUIRED',
+} as const
+```
+
+is spread into every non-AWS recipe. If you add a new provider recipe for an S3-compatible (non-AWS) provider, you must include this opt-out.
+
+### 8.2 Provider-specific notes
+
+| Recipe | Key specifics |
+|---|---|
+| `awsS3` | Keeps SDK default checksums; sets `serverSideEncryption: 'AES256'` by default; `publicBaseUrl` is the virtual-hosted bucket URL |
+| `cloudflareR2` | `region: 'auto'`; `publicBaseUrl` = `customDomain` (REQUIRED — the S3 API endpoint does not serve public reads); NON_AWS_CHECKSUM |
+| `backblazeB2` | `forcePathStyle: false` (B2 supports both styles but virtual-hosted is preferred); NON_AWS_CHECKSUM |
+| `digitalOceanSpaces` | Sets `cdnBaseUrl` to the `.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com` host; `defaultPublicRead: true`; NON_AWS_CHECKSUM |
+| `minio` | `forcePathStyle: true` (path-style is required for MinIO); `region` defaults to `'us-east-1'`; NON_AWS_CHECKSUM |
+| `wasabi` | Virtual-hosted; NON_AWS_CHECKSUM |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Error Catalog
+
+`StorageException extends HttpException`. All thrown errors carry:
+
+```json
+{ "error": { "code": "STORAGE_KEY_INVALID", "message": "...", "details": { ... } } }
+```
+
+`STORAGE_ERROR_CODES` (the constant object keyed by code name) is exported from `./shared`. `STORAGE_ERROR_MESSAGES` and `STORAGE_ERROR_STATUS` (the code → message and code → HttpStatus maps) are **internal** implementation details never exported.
+
+The full 17-code catalog is in `README.md` → Error Codes and `docs/technical_specification.md` §12.

+
+## 11. Testing Strategy
+
+### 11.1 Unit tests
+
+- Located alongside source files (`*.spec.ts`).
+- All use Jest + ts-jest; S3Client is mocked via `jest.fn()` / `jest.spyOn()` — no real network calls.
+- Coverage gate: **100% line/branch on every implemented file** (enforced by `jest.config.ts` global threshold).
+- Every `it()` / `test()` block carries an English block comment explaining the scenario and the rule it protects.
+
+### 11.2 E2E tests
+
+- Located in `test/e2e/`.
+- Spin a real MinIO instance via `@testcontainers/minio`; tests run against the real S3 API.
+- One container per run; `jest.e2e.config.ts` sets `testTimeout: 60000`.
+- Run with `pnpm test:e2e`; requires Docker.
+
+### 11.3 Mutation testing
+
+- Stryker with thresholds `high: 100 / low: 95 / break: 95`.
+- Run manually pre-release with `pnpm mutation` — not on every CI commit (takes 10–20 min).
+- Equivalent mutants are annotated inline with `// Stryker disable next-line <Mutator>: <reason>`.
+- Results documented in `docs/mutation_testing_results.md`.

+## [Unreleased]
+
+---
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-07-01
+
+### Added
+
+- **Initial release** of `@bymax-one/nest-storage` — provider-agnostic S3-compatible object storage for NestJS.
+- **Single `@aws-sdk/client-s3` engine** — works with AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, and Wasabi.
+- **`StorageService`** — full object lifecycle:
+  - `upload()` — single-shot PutObject or automatic multipart via `@aws-sdk/lib-storage` (with `leavePartsOnError: false` for automatic abort on failure), `onProgress` events, `idempotencyKey` cache
+  - `download()` — streaming `Readable` with metadata
+  - `downloadBuffer()` — buffered download (for files < 10 MiB)
+  - `head()` — object metadata without downloading
+  - `exists()` — non-throwing existence check
+  - `delete()` — idempotent (no error on 404)
+  - `deleteMany()` — batched (chunked ≤ 1 000 keys per S3 API call); returns `{ deleted, failed }`
+  - `list()` — paginated listing via `ContinuationToken`
+  - `copy()` — server-side copy (same or cross-bucket)
+  - `getPublicUrl()` — unsigned public URL (does not validate ACL or existence)
+- **`SignedUrlService`** — presigned URL generation:
+  - `getDownloadUrl()` — presigned GET with optional response headers
+  - `getUploadUrl()` — presigned PUT with Content-Length-Range policy
+  - `getMultipartUploadUrls()` — presigned multipart (InitiateMultipartUpload + per-part URLs)
+  - TTL clamped to `signedUrls.maxTtlSeconds`; `maxTtlSeconds` clamped to 604 800 s (7-day SigV4 ceiling) at init
+- **`IUploadValidator` hook** — pluggable pre-upload validator (MIME whitelist with wildcards, size limit, custom `readBytes` magic-byte checks); `NoOpUploadValidator` included
+- **`IFileScanner` hook** — pluggable virus-scan integration (`pre-upload` / `post-upload` / `both`; `rejectOnUnknown` policy); `NoOpFileScanner` included
+- **Six provider recipes** (`providerRecipes`):
+  - `awsS3` — AWS S3 with SSE-AES256; SDK default checksum mode
+  - `cloudflareR2` — region `'auto'`; `customDomain` required; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'`
+  - `backblazeB2` — virtual-hosted; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'`
+  - `digitalOceanSpaces` — with CDN base URL; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'`
+  - `minio` — `forcePathStyle: true`; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'`
+  - `wasabi` — virtual-hosted; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'`
+- **17-code `StorageException` catalog** — typed errors extending `HttpException` with `{ error: { code, message, details? } }` response body; `STORAGE_ERROR_CODES` exported from the `./shared` subpath
+- **`keyPrefix` multi-tenant isolation** — prepended to every resolved key; enforced by `KeyResolverService`
+- **Mandatory path-traversal guard** — `KeyResolverService` blocks `..`, leading `/`, and empty-after-normalize keys (`STORAGE_KEY_INVALID` / HTTP 400)
+- **In-memory LRU idempotency cache** — default 1 000 entries / 24 h; `idempotencyKey` per-upload
+- **Server-side encryption** — `serverSideEncryption: 'AES256'` or `'aws:kms'` globally or per-upload; `'NONE'` sentinel omits the header
+- **Subpath exports**:
+  - `.` — server runtime (NestJS module, services, provider recipes, DI tokens, interfaces)
+  - `./shared` — framework-free types and `STORAGE_ERROR_CODES`
+- **`forRoot` / `forRootAsync`** dynamic module API (`@Global()`; `Symbol()` DI tokens)
+- **`BYMAX_STORAGE_S3_CLIENT` DI token** — raw `S3Client` injection for provider-specific advanced operations (spec §11.2)
+- **Non-AWS checksum opt-out** — the five non-AWS recipes set `requestChecksumCalculation` / `responseChecksumValidation` to `'WHEN_REQUIRED'` to prevent the SDK's default CRC32 `x-amz-checksum-*` headers from being sent to providers that reject them

+
+## Critical Rules
+
+Follow these unconditionally. Violating any of them is a HIGH finding in code review.
+
+### 1 — S3 client lifecycle
+
+The `S3Client` instance is a **singleton** created in `onModuleInit` and destroyed in `onApplicationShutdown` (via `s3Client.destroy()`). Never instantiate a new `S3Client` per request or per operation. Never call `destroy()` before shutdown.
+
+### 2 — Signed URLs are secrets
+
+A presigned URL is a temporary credential. **Never log it**, never include it in `StorageException.details`, and never return it in a response that is itself logged. Treat it the same way you would treat an access key.
+
+### 3 — MIME validation is header-only
+
+`ValidationService.checkMime()` validates the `Content-Type` header supplied by the caller. It cannot detect a file whose true type differs from its declared type. Always plug an `IUploadValidator` with a `readBytes(n)` magic-byte check for untrusted upload sources.
+
+### 4 — Path-traversal guard is mandatory and non-negotiable
+
+`KeyResolverService` blocks `..`, leading `/`, and empty-after-normalize keys. It must be the first thing called before any key reaches the AWS SDK. Never bypass it; never relax its guards.
+
+### 5 — Idempotency cache is in-memory and per-instance
+
+The LRU idempotency cache is not shared across process replicas. Two pods can each accept the same `idempotencyKey` simultaneously. This is a documented v0.1 limitation; a cross-instance `IIdempotencyStore` is planned for v0.2.
+
+### 6 — Non-AWS providers MUST opt out of integrity checksums
+
+`@aws-sdk/client-s3` ≥ 3.729.0 sends `x-amz-checksum-crc32` headers by default. R2, B2, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Wasabi **reject** these headers. Every non-AWS provider recipe sets `requestChecksumCalculation`/`responseChecksumValidation` to `'WHEN_REQUIRED'`. If you touch a provider recipe or add a new one, this opt-out is not optional.
+
+### 7 — `publicRead` via ACL fails on modern AWS S3 and is a no-op on R2
+
+Do not route users to `publicRead: true` for general public access. Modern AWS S3 buckets return HTTP 400 `AccessControlListNotSupported`. R2 ignores ACLs. Steer to bucket policies, CDN, or signed URLs instead.
+
+### 8 — Use `maxAttempts`, never `maxRetries` or `signatureVersion`
+
+AWS SDK v3 is SigV4-only. There is no `signatureVersion` option. The retry knob is `maxAttempts` (default `3`), not `maxRetries` (SDK v2). Never introduce either removed name.
+
+### 9 — Internal services are internal
+
+`KeyResolverService`, `ValidationService`, `FileScannerService`, and `S3ClientProvider` are **not** exported from the package barrel. Only `StorageService`, `SignedUrlService`, `providerRecipes`, the DI tokens, the public types, `StorageException`, `NoOpUploadValidator`, and `NoOpFileScanner` are public.

+## Context7 Guidelines
+
+Use context7 (`mcp__context7__resolve-library-id` + `mcp__context7__query-docs`) to verify **any** library API before using it in code. Never write AWS SDK option names, NestJS DI patterns, Testcontainers APIs, or MinIO APIs from memory.
+
+| Library | When to query |
+|---|---|
+| `NESTJS` | Dynamic modules, DI tokens, lifecycle hooks, interceptors |
+| `TYPESCRIPT` | Complex generics, utility types, `exactOptionalPropertyTypes` edge cases |
+| `TESTING` | Jest matchers, `@nestjs/testing` `TestingModule`, supertest |
+| `AWS_SDK` | Any `S3Client` config field, `Upload`, `getSignedUrl`, presigner options |
+| `MINIO` | `MinioContainer` API in Testcontainers |
+| `TESTCONTAINERS` | Container lifecycle, network, `GenericContainer` |

+  Provider-agnostic S3-compatible object storage for NestJS.<br/>
+  Single <code>@aws-sdk/client-s3</code> engine — works with AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2,<br/>
+  DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, and Wasabi with zero runtime dependencies.
+</p>
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+`@bymax-one/nest-storage` is a NestJS dynamic module that wraps the AWS SDK v3 (`@aws-sdk/client-s3`) to provide a unified, provider-agnostic API for any S3-compatible object storage service. A single `StorageService` covers the full lifecycle — upload, download, signed URLs, listing, copy, and batch delete — while the pluggable `IUploadValidator` and `IFileScanner` hooks let you enforce your own MIME rules and virus-scan policies without coupling the library to any specific scanner.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multipart upload** via `@aws-sdk/lib-storage` with automatic abort on failure (`leavePartsOnError: false`), progress events, and a configurable part-size threshold
+- **Presigned GET / PUT / multipart URLs** with TTL clamping and a hard 7-day SigV4 ceiling
+- **MIME whitelist + size limit** (wildcards supported: `image/*`, `text/*`) with a pluggable `IUploadValidator` hook for magic-byte checks and custom business rules
+- **Pluggable `IFileScanner` hook** (pre- and/or post-upload) for ClamAV, AWS Macie, or any scanner that returns `'clean' | 'infected' | 'unknown'`
+- **Six ready-to-use provider recipes** — `awsS3`, `cloudflareR2`, `backblazeB2`, `digitalOceanSpaces`, `minio`, `wasabi`
+- **Path-traversal guard** in `KeyResolverService` — blocks `..`, leading `/`, and empty-after-normalize keys
+- **In-memory LRU idempotency cache** (default 1 000 entries / 24 h) — identical `idempotencyKey` returns the cached `UploadResult`
+- **Server-side encryption** (AES256 / aws:kms) configurable globally or per-upload
+- **`keyPrefix` multi-tenant isolation** — prepended to every resolved key
+- **`forRoot` / `forRootAsync`** dynamic module API; `@Global()` scope; `Symbol()` DI tokens
+- **`BYMAX_STORAGE_S3_CLIENT` token** for injecting the raw `S3Client` for provider-specific operations

+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1 — AWS S3
+
+```typescript
+import { Module } from '@nestjs/common'
+import { BymaxStorageModule, providerRecipes } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+@Module({
+  imports: [
+    BymaxStorageModule.forRoot({
+      ...providerRecipes.awsS3({
+        region: 'us-east-1',
+        bucket: 'my-bucket',
+        accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID!,
+        secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY!,
+      }),
+      // AWS keeps the SDK default checksum behaviour — no opt-out needed.
+    }),
+  ],
+})
+export class AppModule {}
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common'
+import { StorageService } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+@Injectable()
+export class AssetService {
+  constructor(private readonly storage: StorageService) {}
+
+  async uploadFile(key: string, buffer: Buffer, contentType: string) {
+    return this.storage.upload({ key, body: buffer, contentType, size: buffer.length })
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2 — Cloudflare R2
+
+```typescript
+import { BymaxStorageModule, providerRecipes } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+BymaxStorageModule.forRoot({
+  ...providerRecipes.cloudflareR2({
+    accountId: process.env.R2_ACCOUNT_ID!,
+    bucket: 'my-bucket',
+    accessKeyId: process.env.R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID!,
+    secretAccessKey: process.env.R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY!,
+    // Required — the *.r2.cloudflarestorage.com API host does not serve public reads.
+    // Configure a Custom Domain in the R2 dashboard and supply it here.
+    customDomain: 'https://cdn.example.com',
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+> **Note:** `customDomain` is the `publicBaseUrl` for R2 and is **required** — there is no working default because the S3 API endpoint (`*.r2.cloudflarestorage.com`) does not serve public object reads. The recipe also sets `requestChecksumCalculation`/`responseChecksumValidation` to `'WHEN_REQUIRED'` to prevent the SDK's default CRC32 headers from being sent (R2 rejects them — see [Provider Compatibility](#provider-compatibility-the-1-trap) below).
+
+### 3 — DigitalOcean Spaces with CDN
+
+```typescript
+import { BymaxStorageModule, providerRecipes } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+BymaxStorageModule.forRoot({
+  ...providerRecipes.digitalOceanSpaces({
+    region: 'nyc3',
+    bucket: 'my-bucket',
+    accessKeyId: process.env.DO_ACCESS_KEY_ID!,
+    secretAccessKey: process.env.DO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY!,
+  }),
+  // The recipe sets cdnBaseUrl to *.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com automatically.
+  // Override if you use a custom CDN domain:
+  // cdnBaseUrl: 'https://cdn.example.com',
+})
+```
+
+### 4 — MinIO (local development)
+
+```typescript
+import { BymaxStorageModule, providerRecipes } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+BymaxStorageModule.forRoot({
+  ...providerRecipes.minio({
+    endpoint: 'http://localhost:9000',
+    bucket: 'dev-bucket',
+    accessKeyId: 'minioadmin',
+    secretAccessKey: 'minioadmin',
+  }),
+  // forcePathStyle: true is set by the recipe automatically.
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+The full configuration reference lives in `docs/technical_specification.md` §4. Key options:
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `endpoint` | `string` | — | Required. S3-compatible endpoint URL |
+| `region` | `string` | — | Required. Provider region or `'auto'` (R2) |
+| `bucket` | `string` | — | Default bucket (can be overridden per-call) |
+| `credentials` | `{ accessKeyId, secretAccessKey, sessionToken? }` | — | Load from env / Secrets Manager |
+| `forcePathStyle` | `boolean` | `false` | Set to `true` for MinIO and self-hosted |
+| `publicBaseUrl` | `string` | — | Base URL for public `getPublicUrl()` results |
+| `cdnBaseUrl` | `string` | — | CDN edge URL (preferred over `publicBaseUrl`) |
+| `keyPrefix` | `string` | — | Prepended to every resolved key (multi-tenant) |
+| `maxAttempts` | `number` | `3` | SDK v3 retry count |
+| `serverSideEncryption` | `'AES256' \| 'aws:kms' \| 'NONE'` | — | Global SSE policy |
+| `requestChecksumCalculation` | `'WHEN_SUPPORTED' \| 'WHEN_REQUIRED'` | SDK default | Set to `'WHEN_REQUIRED'` for non-AWS providers |
+| `responseChecksumValidation` | `'WHEN_SUPPORTED' \| 'WHEN_REQUIRED'` | SDK default | Set to `'WHEN_REQUIRED'` for non-AWS providers |
+| `signedUrls.defaultTtlSeconds` | `number` | `3600` | Default signed-URL TTL |
+| `signedUrls.maxTtlSeconds` | `number` | `604800` | Hard ceiling; clamped to 7 days at init |
+| `multipart.thresholdBytes` | `number` | `10 MiB` | Switch to multipart above this size |
+| `multipart.partSizeBytes` | `number` | `8 MiB` | Part size (S3 minimum: 5 MiB) |
+| `validation.mimeWhitelist` | `string[]` | sensible defaults | Wildcards: `'image/*'` |
+| `validation.maxSizeBytes` | `number` | — | Maximum upload size in bytes |
+
+> **Do not use `maxRetries` or `signatureVersion`** — these are AWS SDK v2 options that do not exist in v3. The v3 SDK is SigV4-only. Use `maxAttempts` (default `3`) for retry configuration.
+
+---
+
+## Provider Recipes
+
+| Recipe | Provider | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `providerRecipes.awsS3(...)` | AWS S3 | Keeps the SDK default checksum mode (`'WHEN_SUPPORTED'`); sets SSE-AES256 |
+| `providerRecipes.cloudflareR2(...)` | Cloudflare R2 | `customDomain` required; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'`; `region: 'auto'` |
+| `providerRecipes.backblazeB2(...)` | Backblaze B2 | `forcePathStyle: false` (B2 supports virtual-hosted); checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'` |
+| `providerRecipes.digitalOceanSpaces(...)` | DigitalOcean Spaces | Sets `cdnBaseUrl` to `*.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com`; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'` |
+| `providerRecipes.minio(...)` | MinIO / self-hosted | `forcePathStyle: true`; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'`; region defaults to `'us-east-1'` |
+| `providerRecipes.wasabi(...)` | Wasabi Hot Cloud | Virtual-hosted; checksums `'WHEN_REQUIRED'` |
+
+### Provider Compatibility — The #1 Trap
+
+`@aws-sdk/client-s3` ≥ 3.729.0 defaults `requestChecksumCalculation` to `'WHEN_SUPPORTED'`, which causes the SDK to send `x-amz-checksum-crc32` integrity headers on every `PutObject` and `UploadPart` call. **Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Wasabi reject these headers** — the default upload path fails out of the box on exactly the providers this library targets.
+
+Every non-AWS provider recipe sets both `requestChecksumCalculation` and `responseChecksumValidation` to `'WHEN_REQUIRED'` to suppress the headers. If you build a custom config instead of using a recipe, you must add this opt-out manually:
+
+```typescript
+BymaxStorageModule.forRoot({
+  endpoint: 'https://...',
+  region: '...',
+  bucket: '...',
+  credentials: { ... },
+  requestChecksumCalculation: 'WHEN_REQUIRED',
+  responseChecksumValidation: 'WHEN_REQUIRED',
+})
+```
+
+### Public Access / ACLs
+
+`publicRead: true` (or `defaultPublicRead: true` in the config) sends `ACL: 'public-read'` on PutObject. However:
+
+- **Modern AWS S3 buckets** (Object Ownership = "Bucket owner enforced", the default since April 2023) return **HTTP 400 `AccessControlListNotSupported`** when an ACL header is present.
+- **Cloudflare R2** ignores ACLs entirely — `publicRead: true` is a **silent no-op**; configure a Custom Domain in the R2 dashboard for public delivery.
+
+For public access on either provider, use a **bucket policy**, a **CDN**, or **signed URLs** rather than ACLs.
+
+---
+
+## Upload
+
+### Single-shot / Buffer
+
+```typescript
+import { StorageService } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+import { randomUUID } from 'node:crypto'
+
+const result = await storage.upload({
+  key: `avatars/${randomUUID()}.jpg`,
+  body: fileBuffer,
+  contentType: 'image/jpeg',
+  size: fileBuffer.length,
+  metadata: { userId: '42' },
+  serverSideEncryption: 'AES256',
+})
+console.log(result.publicUrl) // https://...
+```
+
+### Stream with Progress
+
+```typescript
+import { createReadStream, statSync } from 'node:fs'
+
+await storage.upload({
+  key: 'videos/event-2026.mp4',
+  body: createReadStream('/tmp/video.mp4'),
+  contentType: 'video/mp4',
+  size: statSync('/tmp/video.mp4').size,
+  onProgress: (e) => console.log(`${e.loaded}/${e.total ?? '?'} bytes`),
+})
+```
+
+Uploads are automatically routed to multipart when `size >= multipart.thresholdBytes` (default 10 MiB). A `Readable` without a `size` always uses multipart. Multipart aborts automatically on failure (`leavePartsOnError: false`).
+
+### Idempotency
+
+```typescript
+const key = `uploads/${randomUUID()}.png`
+const opts = { key, body: buf, contentType: 'image/png', size: buf.length, idempotencyKey: 'order-42-avatar' }
+
+const r1 = await storage.upload(opts)
+const r2 = await storage.upload(opts) // returns cached result instantly
+console.log(r2.fromIdempotencyCache) // true
+```
+
+---
+
+## Download
+
+### As a Stream
+
+```typescript
+import { Controller, Get, Param, Res } from '@nestjs/common'
+import type { Response } from 'express'
+
+@Get(':key')
+async download(@Param('key') key: string, @Res() res: Response) {
+  const { stream, metadata } = await this.storage.download({ key })
+  res.setHeader('Content-Type', metadata.contentType)
+  res.setHeader('Content-Length', String(metadata.size))
+  stream.pipe(res)
+}
+```
+
+### As a Buffer
+
+```typescript
+// Use only for files < 10 MB — loads the entire object into memory.
+const { buffer, metadata } = await this.storage.downloadBuffer({ key: 'docs/report.pdf' })
+```
+
+---
+
+## Signed URLs (GET / PUT / Multipart)
+
+> **Security:** signed URLs are temporary credentials. **Never log them** — a logged signed URL is accessible to anyone with log access.
+
+### Presigned GET
+
+```typescript
+import { SignedUrlService } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+const result = await signedUrls.getDownloadUrl({
+  key: 'invoices/2026-001.pdf',
+  ttlSeconds: 900,
+  responseContentDisposition: 'attachment; filename="invoice.pdf"',
+})
+// result.url — share this with the client; expires at result.expiresAt
+```
+
+### Presigned PUT (direct browser upload)
+
+```typescript
+// Backend — issue a signed upload URL
+@Post('signed-put')
+async getSignedPut(@Body() body: { folder: string; contentType: string }) {
+  const key = `${body.folder}/${randomUUID()}`
+  const result = await this.signedUrls.getUploadUrl({
+    key,
+    contentType: body.contentType,
+    ttlSeconds: 600,
+    maxSizeBytes: 10 * 1024 * 1024,
+  })
+  // NEVER log result.url — it is a temporary credential
+  return { uploadUrl: result.url, key, expiresAt: result.expiresAt }
+}
+```
+
+> **Caveat:** a signed PUT bypasses the library's local MIME/size validation. Pair it with a presigner `maxSizeBytes` (Content-Length-Range policy), a `HEAD` check after upload, and an `IFileScanner` post-upload hook.
+
+```typescript
+// Frontend
+const { uploadUrl, key } = await fetchJson('/uploads/signed-put', { folder, contentType })
+await fetch(uploadUrl, { method: 'PUT', headers: { 'Content-Type': contentType }, body: file })
+await fetchJson('/uploads/confirm', { key }) // backend persists metadata
+```
+
+### Presigned Multipart
+
+```typescript
+const { uploadId, parts, key } = await signedUrls.getMultipartUploadUrls({
+  key: 'videos/large.mp4',
+  contentType: 'video/mp4',
+  partCount: 10,
+  ttlSeconds: 3600,
+})
+// Upload each part with the corresponding signed URL, then call CompleteMultipartUpload.
+```
+
+> **TTL clamp:** per-request `ttlSeconds` values above `signedUrls.maxTtlSeconds` are silently clamped; `maxTtlSeconds` is itself clamped to 604 800 s (7-day SigV4 ceiling) at module init. A `ttlSeconds` ≤ 0 throws `STORAGE_SIGNED_URL_TTL_INVALID`.
+
+---
+
+## Validation
+
+```typescript
+import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common'
+import type { IUploadValidator } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+/** Magic-byte PDF check — reads the first 4 bytes of the stream. */
+@Injectable()
+export class PdfValidator implements IUploadValidator {
+  async validate(input: { body: Buffer | NodeJS.ReadableStream; readBytes: (n: number) => Promise<Buffer> }) {
+    const header = await input.readBytes(4)
+    if (header.toString('ascii', 0, 4) !== '%PDF') {
+      return { valid: false, reason: 'Not a valid PDF (magic bytes mismatch)' }
+    }
+    return { valid: true }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Register it in the module:
+
+```typescript
+BymaxStorageModule.forRoot({
+  ...providerRecipes.awsS3({ ... }),
+  validation: {
+    mimeWhitelist: ['application/pdf'],
+    maxSizeBytes: 25 * 1024 * 1024,
+  },
+  validators: [{ useClass: PdfValidator }],
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Virus Scanning (`IFileScanner`)
+
+```typescript
+import type { IFileScanner, FileScanResult } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+/** ClamAV stub — delegate to clamd over a socket in production. */
+@Injectable()
+export class ClamAvScanner implements IFileScanner {
+  async scan(_input: unknown): Promise<FileScanResult> {
+    // Replace with real clamd socket call
+    return { status: 'clean', engine: 'clamav-0.103' }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```typescript
+BymaxStorageModule.forRoot({
+  ...providerRecipes.awsS3({ ... }),
+  scanner: {
+    impl: new ClamAvScanner(),
+    mode: 'pre-upload',       // 'pre-upload' | 'post-upload' | 'both'
+    rejectOnUnknown: false,   // treat inconclusive scans as pass (true = reject)
+  },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Lifecycle Operations
+
+### List / Paginate
+
+```typescript
+const page1 = await storage.list({ prefix: 'avatars/', maxKeys: 100 })
+// { objects: [...], nextContinuationToken?: '...' }
+if (page1.nextContinuationToken) {
+  const page2 = await storage.list({ prefix: 'avatars/', maxKeys: 100, continuationToken: page1.nextContinuationToken })
+}
+```
+
+### Copy (server-side)
+
+```typescript
+const { etag } = await storage.copy({
+  sourceKey: 'drafts/file.pdf',
+  destinationKey: 'published/file.pdf',
+})
+```
+
+### Delete / Batch Delete
+
+```typescript
+await storage.delete('temp/file.png') // idempotent — no error on 404
+
+const { deleted, failed } = await storage.deleteMany(['a.png', 'b.png', 'c.png'])
+```
+
+### Raw S3Client (Advanced)
+
+For provider-specific operations not covered by the public API, inject the raw client:
+
+```typescript
+import { Inject, Injectable } from '@nestjs/common'
+import { S3Client } from '@aws-sdk/client-s3'
+import { BYMAX_STORAGE_S3_CLIENT } from '@bymax-one/nest-storage'
+
+@Injectable()
+export class AdvancedStorageService {
+  constructor(@Inject(BYMAX_STORAGE_S3_CLIENT) private readonly s3: S3Client) {}
+
+  async customOperation() {
+    // Direct S3Client call — bypass the public API when needed.
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### `forRootAsync`
+
+```typescript
+import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config'
+
+BymaxStorageModule.forRootAsync({
+  imports: [ConfigModule],
+  inject: [ConfigService],
+  useFactory: (config: ConfigService) => ({
+    ...providerRecipes.awsS3({
+      region: config.getOrThrow('AWS_REGION'),
+      bucket: config.getOrThrow('AWS_BUCKET'),
+      accessKeyId: config.getOrThrow('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
+      secretAccessKey: config.getOrThrow('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
+    }),
+    keyPrefix: config.get('STORAGE_KEY_PREFIX'),
+    serverSideEncryption: 'AES256',
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Codes
+
+All errors are thrown as `StorageException extends HttpException`. The response body is `{ error: { code, message, details? } }`.
+
+| Code | HTTP | When |
+|---|---|---|
+| `STORAGE_NOT_CONFIGURED` | 503 | Credentials missing and an operation was called |
+| `STORAGE_KEY_INVALID` | 400 | Path traversal (`..`), key starts with `/`, or empty after normalization |
+| `STORAGE_BODY_MISSING` | 400 | `upload()` called without a body |
+| `STORAGE_CONTENT_TYPE_REQUIRED` | 400 | `upload()` called without `contentType` |
+| `STORAGE_MIME_NOT_ALLOWED` | 415 | `contentType` outside `mimeWhitelist` |

+# Security Policy — @bymax-one/nest-storage
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+| Version | Supported |
+|---|---|
+| 0.1.x | ✅ |
+
+Only the latest minor release receives security patches. Upgrade to the current version before reporting.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+**Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.**
+
+Email **[security@bymax.one](mailto:security@bymax.one)** with:
+
+- A clear description of the vulnerability and its impact
+- Steps to reproduce (minimal reproduction preferred)
+- The affected versions and component (`StorageService`, `KeyResolverService`, signed URLs, etc.)
+- Any relevant code, logs, or CVE references
+
+You will receive an acknowledgement within 72 hours. Coordinate disclosure timeline with the maintainers before publishing. Credit is given in the release notes upon fix.
+
+---
+
+## Security Goals
+
+The following properties are designed to hold in every supported release.
+
+### Path-traversal mitigation
+
+`KeyResolverService` normalises every caller-supplied key before it reaches the AWS SDK:
+
+- Rejects keys containing `..` segments (`STORAGE_KEY_INVALID` / HTTP 400)
+- Rejects keys that start with `/` after normalisation
+- Rejects keys that are empty after normalisation
+- Prepends `keyPrefix` to enforce multi-tenant isolation — callers cannot escape their own prefix
+
+Validate user-controlled input before passing it to `StorageService`; the library provides the last line of defence, not the only one.
+
+### Signed-URL secrecy
+
+- Per-request `ttlSeconds` values above `signedUrls.maxTtlSeconds` are **silently clamped**, not rejected (avoids leaking the server ceiling to the caller).
+- `signedUrls.maxTtlSeconds` is clamped to 604 800 s (the SigV4 7-day absolute ceiling) at module initialisation.
+- `ttlSeconds` ≤ 0 is rejected with `STORAGE_SIGNED_URL_TTL_INVALID` (HTTP 400).
+- A signed URL is a **temporary credential** — **never log it** (a logged signed URL is accessible to anyone with access to your log system). Never include a signed URL in `details` of a `StorageException`.
+
+### Signed PUT security considerations
+
+A presigned PUT bypasses the library's local MIME/size validation — bytes go directly to the provider. Mitigate by:
+
+1. Setting `maxSizeBytes` in `getUploadUrl()` (maps to a Content-Length-Range presigner policy).
+2. Running a `HEAD` check on the uploaded object to verify size and content-type.
+3. Using a post-upload `IFileScanner` to scan for malware after the bytes land.
+
+### Credentials handling
+
+- Pass AWS credentials via environment variables or AWS SDK credential providers, never hard-code them.
+- Use AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or Doppler in production.
+- Prefer IAM roles with STS temporary credentials (`credentials.sessionToken`) over long-lived access keys.
+- The `details` field of `StorageException` never carries a credential or signed URL.
+- Never put PII (email addresses, government IDs) in object keys — keys appear in provider logs, CDN access logs, and distributed traces.
+
+### Server-side encryption (SSE)
+
+- Enable `serverSideEncryption: 'AES256'` at a minimum in production environments.
+- For sensitive data, use `'aws:kms'` and ensure the IAM policy allows `kms:Encrypt` and `kms:Decrypt` on the target KMS key.
+- `serverSideEncryption: 'NONE'` is a library-only sentinel — it omits the SSE header without sending the string `'NONE'` to the provider.
+
+### MIME validation
+
+- The `mimeWhitelist` check is based on the `Content-Type` header supplied by the client; it is **header-only** and cannot detect a file whose true type differs from its declared type.
+- Plug an `IUploadValidator` that uses `readBytes(n)` for magic-byte verification when the content source is untrusted.
+
+---
+
+## Operational Hardening Notes
+
+### Non-AWS provider checksum opt-out
+
+`@aws-sdk/client-s3` ≥ 3.729.0 sends `x-amz-checksum-crc32` integrity headers by default (`requestChecksumCalculation: 'WHEN_SUPPORTED'`). Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Wasabi **reject** these headers. Every non-AWS provider recipe included in this library sets:
+
+```typescript
+requestChecksumCalculation: 'WHEN_REQUIRED',
+responseChecksumValidation: 'WHEN_REQUIRED',
+```
+
+If you build a custom configuration instead of using a recipe, you must add this opt-out manually. See `README.md` — Provider Compatibility for the full explanation.
+
+### Public access / ACL caveat
+
+`publicRead: true` (or `defaultPublicRead: true`) sends `ACL: 'public-read'` on PutObject. This fails on modern AWS S3 buckets (Object Ownership = "Bucket owner enforced") with HTTP 400 `AccessControlListNotSupported`, and is a **silent no-op** on Cloudflare R2. Use a **bucket policy**, a **CDN**, or **signed URLs** for public object delivery.
+
+---
+
+## Sensitive Code Paths
+
+The following files have elevated security relevance and warrant close review on any change:
+
+| File | Concern |
+|---|---|
+| `src/server/services/key-resolver.service.ts` | Path-traversal guard; keyPrefix isolation |
+| `src/server/utils/ttl-clamp.ts` | Signed-URL TTL clamping and SigV4 ceiling |
+| `src/server/utils/mime-match.ts` | MIME wildcard matching (mismatches could allow disallowed types) |
+| `src/server/utils/idempotency-cache.ts` | In-memory LRU; per-instance (not shared across replicas) |
+| `src/server/services/signed-url.service.ts` | Presigned URL generation; never log the output |
+| `src/server/config/validate-options.ts` | Module-options validation; malformed config must fail closed |

+# Mutation Testing Plan — @bymax-one/nest-storage
+
+## Strategy
+
+Mutation testing uses [StrykerJS](https://stryker-mutator.io/) configured in `stryker.config.json`. The goal is to verify that the test suite catches every real fault the library could ship — not just that coverage is 100%, but that every assertion is tight enough to detect a meaningful code change.
+
+### Thresholds
+
+```
+high:  100   (target — alert when the score drops below 100%)
+low:    95   (warning zone)
+break:  95   (the run fails below this score; a CI job or release gate that uses
+              this threshold will exit non-zero, blocking the release)
+```
+
+A mutation score of 100% means every mutant is either killed by an assertion or documented as a provable equivalent. The `break: 95` floor prevents a regression from shipping undetected.
+
+### When to run
+
+Mutation testing is **not** run on every CI commit — a full run takes 10–20 minutes and would bottleneck pull-request feedback. It runs:
+
+1. **Manually, pre-release** — before tagging `v*.*.*`, run `pnpm mutation` and confirm the score is at or above the break threshold.
+2. **After any change to a critical path** — when `key-resolver.service.ts`, `validate-options.ts`, `ttl-clamp.ts`, `mime-match.ts`, `idempotency-cache.ts`, or `header-utils.ts` are modified, run mutation testing before the PR merges.
+
+```bash
+# Full run (10–20 min):
+pnpm mutation
+
+# Incremental (re-checks only files changed since last run — much faster):
+pnpm mutation:incremental
+
+# Dry run (reports what would be mutated without running tests):
+pnpm mutation:dry-run
+```
+
+### HTML report
+
+After each run, StrykerJS generates a report at `reports/mutation/mutation.html`. Open it in a browser to inspect survivors and understand which assertions need strengthening.
+
+---
+
+## Equivalent Mutants
+
+When a mutation cannot be killed by any test — because no observable behaviour changes regardless of which path is taken — it is a **provable equivalent mutant**. These are not test gaps; they are cases where the mutated code and the original code are indistinguishable from the outside.
+
+Equivalent mutants are **never suppressed with a blanket disable**. Each is disabled at its exact source line using:
+
+```typescript
+// Stryker disable next-line <MutatorName>: <reason why this mutation is equivalent>
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```typescript
+// Stryker disable next-line ConditionalExpression: An empty normalized string can never contain '/'
+// so the second operand already covers the length-0 case — forcing this to false is equivalent.
+if (normalized.length === 0 || !normalized.includes('/')) { ... }
+```
+
+Suppressing a non-equivalent mutant to raise the score artificially is a critical finding in code review. Every suppression must include a written reason that explains why the mutation cannot change observable behaviour for any valid input.
+
+---
+
+## Critical Paths
+
+The following files are held at the highest scrutiny and are verified at or above the `break: 95` threshold:
+
+| File | Security / correctness concern |
+|---|---|
+| `src/server/services/key-resolver.service.ts` | Path-traversal guard; keyPrefix isolation; any survivor here could allow a security bypass |
+| `src/server/config/validate-options.ts` + `resolved-options.ts` | Module-options validation; a survivor could allow malformed config to pass through |
+| `src/server/utils/ttl-clamp.ts` | Signed-URL TTL enforcement; a survivor could allow an unbounded TTL |
+| `src/server/utils/mime-match.ts` | MIME whitelist matching; a survivor could allow a blocked type through |
+| `src/server/utils/idempotency-cache.ts` | Cache key lookup and eviction; a survivor could cause incorrect deduplication |
+| `src/server/utils/header-utils.ts` | Content-Type normalisation; a survivor could misclassify a MIME type |
+
+These files target 100% mutation score. Survivors in these files block a release regardless of the global score.
+
+---
+
+## Stryker Configuration
+
+```json
+// stryker.config.json (abbreviated)
+{
+  "mutate": ["src/server/**/*.ts", "!src/server/**/*.spec.ts"],
+  "testRunner": "jest",
+  "coverageAnalysis": "perTest",
+  "thresholds": { "high": 100, "low": 95, "break": 95 },
+  "reporters": ["html", "progress", "summary"],
+  "htmlReporter": { "fileName": "reports/mutation/mutation.html" }
+}
+```
+
+The TypeScript checker plugin runs alongside mutation testing to reject type-invalid mutants before they reach the test runner — this prevents false survivors caused by TypeScript type errors rather than missing assertions.
+
+---
+
+## Interpreting Results
+
+| Metric | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| **Killed** | Mutant was caught by at least one test — good |
+| **Survived** | Mutant ran but no test detected the change — needs a new assertion or is an equivalent |
+| **No coverage** | Mutant was not reached by any test — indicates a coverage gap (should not happen with the 100% coverage gate) |
+| **Timeout** | Test exceeded the timeout when the mutant was active — treated as detected |
+| **Ignored / Disabled** | Suppressed inline with a documented reason |
+
+A **Survived** result is always either:
+1. A real assertion gap → add or strengthen a test assertion.
+2. A provable equivalent → suppress inline with a written reason.
+
+Never raise the break threshold to accommodate a survivor. Fix the survivor instead.
