+// Concat concatenates two arrays, appending the provided array to the end of the input array.
+// This is a curried function that takes an array to append and returns a function that
+// takes the base array and returns the concatenated result.
+//
+// The function creates a new array containing all elements from the base array followed
+// by all elements from the appended array. Neither input array is modified.
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - A: The type of elements in the arrays
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - as: The array to append to the end of the base array
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A function that takes a base array and returns a new array with `as` appended to its end
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Creates a new array with length equal to the sum of both input arrays
+//   - Copies all elements from the base array first
+//   - Appends all elements from the `as` array at the end
+//   - Returns the base array unchanged if `as` is empty
+//   - Returns `as` unchanged if the base array is empty
+//   - Does not modify either input array
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	base := []int{1, 2, 3}
+//	toAppend := []int{4, 5, 6}
+//	result := array.Concat(toAppend)(base)
+//	// result: []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
+//	// base: []int{1, 2, 3} (unchanged)
+//	// toAppend: []int{4, 5, 6} (unchanged)
+//
+// Example with empty arrays:
+//
+//	base := []int{1, 2, 3}
+//	empty := []int{}
+//	result := array.Concat(empty)(base)
+//	// result: []int{1, 2, 3}
+//
+// Example with strings:
+//
+//	words1 := []string{"hello", "world"}
+//	words2 := []string{"foo", "bar"}
+//	result := array.Concat(words2)(words1)
+//	// result: []string{"hello", "world", "foo", "bar"}
+//
+// Example with functional composition:
+//
+//	numbers := []int{1, 2, 3}
+//	result := F.Pipe2(
+//	    numbers,
+//	    array.Map(N.Mul(2)),
+//	    array.Concat([]int{10, 20}),
+//	)
+//	// result: []int{2, 4, 6, 10, 20}
+//
+// Use cases:
+//   - Combining multiple arrays into one
+//   - Building arrays incrementally
+//   - Implementing array-based data structures (queues, buffers)
+//   - Merging results from multiple operations
+//   - Creating array pipelines with functional composition
+//
+// Performance:
+//   - Time complexity: O(n + m) where n and m are the lengths of the arrays
+//   - Space complexity: O(n + m) for the new array
+//   - Optimized to avoid allocation when one array is empty
+//
+// Note: This function is immutable - it creates a new array rather than modifying
+// the input arrays. For appending a single element, consider using Append or Push.

+// BuilderPrism creates a [Prism] that converts between a builder and its built type.
+//
+// A Prism is an optic that focuses on a case of a sum type, providing bidirectional
+// conversion with the possibility of failure. This function creates a prism that:
+//   - Extracts: Attempts to build the object from the builder (may fail)
+//   - Constructs: Creates a builder from a valid object (always succeeds)
+//
+// The extraction direction (builder -> object) uses the Build method and converts

+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - T: The type of the object being built
+//   - B: The builder type that implements Builder[T]
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - creator: A function that creates a builder from a valid object of type T.

+// handleSuccessOnClosed creates a Reader that handles successful requests when the circuit is closed.
+// This function is used to update the circuit breaker state after a successful operation completes

 //
-// This function is part of the circuit breaker's state management for the closed state.
-// When a request succeeds in closed state:
-//  1. The current time is obtained
-//  2. The addSuccess function is called with the current time to update the ClosedState
-//  3. The updated ClosedState is wrapped in a Right (closed) BreakerState
-//  4. The breaker state is modified with the new state
+// The function takes a Reader that adds a success record to the ClosedState and lifts it to work
+// with BreakerState by mapping over the Right (closed) side of the Either type. This ensures that
+// success tracking only affects the closed state and leaves any open state unchanged.
 //
 // Parameters:
-//   - currentTime: An IO operation that provides the current time
-//   - addSuccess: A Reader that takes a time and returns an endomorphism for ClosedState,
-//     typically resetting failure counters or history
+//   - addSuccess: A Reader that takes the current time and returns an Endomorphism that updates
+//     the ClosedState by recording a successful operation. This typically increments a success
+//     counter or updates a success history.
 //
 // Returns:
-//   - An io.Kleisli that takes another io.Kleisli and chains them together.
-//     The outer Kleisli takes an Endomorphism[BreakerState] and returns BreakerState.
-//     This allows composing the success handling with other state modifications.

 //
-// This function is part of the circuit breaker's state management for the closed state.
-// When a request fails in closed state:
-//  1. The current time is obtained
-//  2. The addError function is called to record the failure in the ClosedState
-//  3. The checkClosedState function is called to determine if the failure threshold is exceeded
-//  4. If the threshold is exceeded (Check returns None):
-//     - The circuit transitions to open state using openCircuit
-//     - A new openState is created with resetAt time calculated from the retry policy
-//  5. If the threshold is not exceeded (Check returns Some):
-//     - The circuit remains closed with the updated failure tracking
+// The function orchestrates three key operations:
+//  1. Records the failure in the ClosedState using addError
+//  2. Checks if the failure threshold has been exceeded using checkClosedState
+//  3. If threshold exceeded, opens the circuit; otherwise, keeps it closed with updated error count
+//
+// The decision flow is:
+//   - Add the error to the closed state's error tracking
+//   - Check if the updated closed state exceeds the failure threshold
+//   - If threshold exceeded (checkClosedState returns None):

+//   - Transition the circuit to open state (Left side of Either)
+//   - If threshold not exceeded (checkClosedState returns Some):
+//   - Keep the circuit closed with the updated error count

 //
 // Parameters:
-//   - currentTime: An IO operation that provides the current time
-//   - addError: A Reader that takes a time and returns an endomorphism for ClosedState,
-//     recording a failure (incrementing counter or adding to history)
-//   - checkClosedState: A Reader that takes a time and returns an option.Kleisli that checks
-//     if the ClosedState should remain closed. Returns Some if circuit stays closed, None if it should open.
-//   - openCircuit: A Reader that takes a time and returns an openState with calculated resetAt time
+//   - addError: A Reader that takes the current time and returns an Endomorphism that updates
+//     the ClosedState by recording a failed operation. This typically increments an error
+//     counter or adds to an error history.
+//   - checkClosedState: A Reader that takes the current time and returns an option.Kleisli that
+//     validates whether the ClosedState is still within acceptable failure thresholds.
+//     Returns Some(ClosedState) if threshold not exceeded, None if threshold exceeded.
+//   - openCircuit: A Reader that takes the current time and creates a new openState with

+# Why Combining IO Operations with ReaderResult Makes Sense
+
+## Overview
+
+The `context/readerresult` package provides functions that combine IO operations (like `FromIO`, `ChainIOK`, `TapIOK`, etc.) with ReaderResult computations. This document explains why this combination is natural and appropriate, despite IO operations being side-effectful.
+
+## Key Insight: ReaderResult is Already Effectful
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Unlike pure functional Reader monads, `ReaderResult[A]` in this package is **already side-effectful** because it depends on `context.Context`.
+
+### Why context.Context is Effectful
+
+The `context.Context` type in Go is inherently effectful because it:
+
+1. **Can be cancelled**: `ctx.Done()` returns a channel that closes when the context is cancelled
+2. **Has deadlines**: `ctx.Deadline()` returns a time when the context expires
+3. **Carries values**: `ctx.Value(key)` retrieves request-scoped values
+4. **Propagates signals**: Cancellation signals propagate across goroutines
+5. **Has observable state**: The context's state can change over time (e.g., when cancelled)
+
+### Type Definition
+
+```go
+type ReaderResult[A any] = func(context.Context) Result[A]
+```
+
+This is **not** a pure function because:
+- The behavior can change based on the context's state
+- The context can be cancelled during execution
+- The context carries mutable, observable state
+
+## Comparison with Pure Reader Monads
+
+### Pure Reader (from `readerresult` package)
+
+```go
+type ReaderResult[R, A any] = func(R) Result[A]
+```
+
+- `R` can be any type (config, state, etc.)
+- The function is **pure** if `R` is immutable
+- No side effects unless explicitly introduced
+
+### Effectful Reader (from `context/readerresult` package)
+
+```go
+type ReaderResult[A any] = func(context.Context) Result[A]
+```
+
+- Always depends on `context.Context`
+- **Inherently effectful** due to context's nature
+- Side effects are part of the design
+
+## Why IO Operations Fit Naturally
+
+Since `ReaderResult` is already effectful, combining it with IO operations is a natural fit:
+
+### 1. Both Represent Side Effects
+
+```go
+// IO operation - side effectful
+io := func() int {
+    fmt.Println("Performing IO")
+    return 42
+}
+
+// ReaderResult - also side effectful (depends on context)
+rr := func(ctx context.Context) Result[int] {
+    // Can check if context is cancelled (side effect)
+    if ctx.Err() != nil {
+        return result.Error[int](ctx.Err())
+    }
+    return result.Of(42)
+}
+
+// Combining them is natural
+combined := FromIO(io)
+```
+
+### 2. Context-Aware IO Operations
+
+The combination allows IO operations to respect context cancellation:
+
+```go
+// IO operation that should respect cancellation
+readFile := func(path string) ReaderResult[[]byte] {
+    return func(ctx context.Context) Result[[]byte] {
+        // Check cancellation before expensive IO
+        if ctx.Err() != nil {
+            return result.Error[[]byte](ctx.Err())
+        }
+        
+        // Perform IO operation
+        data, err := os.ReadFile(path)
+        if err != nil {
+            return result.Error[[]byte](err)
+        }
+        return result.Of(data)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Practical Use Cases
+
+#### Logging with Side Effects
+
+```go
+// Log to external system (IO operation)
+logMetric := func(value int) func() string {
+    return func() string {
+        // Side effect: write to metrics system
+        metrics.Record("value", value)
+        return "logged"
+    }
+}
+
+// Use with ReaderResult
+pipeline := F.Pipe1(
+    readerresult.Of(42),
+    readerresult.TapIOK(logMetric),
+)
+```
+
+#### Database Operations
+
+```go
+// Database query (IO operation with context)
+queryDB := func(id int) ReaderResult[User] {
+    return func(ctx context.Context) Result[User] {
+        // Context used for timeout/cancellation
+        user, err := db.QueryContext(ctx, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", id)
+        if err != nil {
+            return result.Error[User](err)
+        }
+        return result.Of(user)
+    }
+}
+
+// Chain with other operations
+pipeline := F.Pipe2(
+    readerresult.Of(123),
+    readerresult.Chain(queryDB),
+    readerresult.TapIOK(func(user User) func() string {
+        return func() string {
+            log.Printf("Retrieved user: %s", user.Name)
+            return "logged"
+        }
+    }),
+)
+```
+
+#### HTTP Requests
+
+```go
+// HTTP request (IO operation)
+fetchData := func(url string) ReaderResult[Response] {
+    return func(ctx context.Context) Result[Response] {
+        req, _ := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, "GET", url, nil)
+        resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
+        if err != nil {
+            return result.Error[Response](err)
+        }
+        return result.Of(resp)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Functions That Combine IO with ReaderResult
+
+### Lifting Functions
+
+- **`FromIO[A]`**: Lifts a pure IO computation into ReaderResult
+- **`FromIOResult[A]`**: Lifts an IOResult (IO with error handling) into ReaderResult
+
+### Chaining Functions
+
+- **`ChainIOK[A, B]`**: Sequences a ReaderResult with an IO computation
+- **`ChainIOEitherK[A, B]`**: Sequences with an IOResult computation
+- **`ChainIOResultK[A, B]`**: Alias for ChainIOEitherK
+
+### Tapping Functions (Side Effects)
+
+- **`TapIOK[A, B]`**: Executes IO for side effects, preserves original value
+- **`ChainFirstIOK[A, B]`**: Same as TapIOK
+- **`MonadTapIOK[A, B]`**: Monadic version of TapIOK
+- **`MonadChainFirstIOK[A, B]`**: Monadic version of ChainFirstIOK
+
+### Error Handling with IO
+
+- **`TapLeftIOK[A, B]`**: Executes IO on error for side effects (logging, metrics)
+- **`ChainFirstLeftIOK[A, B]`**: Same as TapLeftIOK
+
+### Reading Context from IO
+
+- **`ReadIO[A]`**: Executes ReaderResult with context from IO
+- **`ReadIOEither[A]`**: Executes with context from IOResult
+- **`ReadIOResult[A]`**: Alias for ReadIOEither
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+### Embrace Effectfulness
+
+Rather than trying to maintain purity (which is impossible with `context.Context`), this package embraces the effectful nature of Go's context and provides tools to work with it safely and composably.
+
+### Composition Over Isolation
+
+The package allows you to compose effectful operations (ReaderResult + IO) in a type-safe, functional way, rather than isolating them.
+
+### Practical Go Idioms
+
+This approach aligns with Go's pragmatic philosophy:
+- Context is used everywhere in Go for cancellation and timeouts
+- IO operations are common and necessary
+- Combining them in a type-safe way improves code quality
+
+## Contrast with Pure Functional Packages
+
+### When to Use `context/readerresult` (This Package)
+
+Use when you need:
+- ✅ Context cancellation and timeouts
+- ✅ Request-scoped values
+- ✅ Integration with Go's standard library (http, database/sql, etc.)
+- ✅ IO operations with error handling
+- ✅ Practical, idiomatic Go code
+
+### When to Use `readerresult` (Pure Package)
+
+Use when you need:
+- ✅ Pure dependency injection
+- ✅ Testable computations with simple config objects
+- ✅ No context propagation
+- ✅ Generic environment types (not limited to context.Context)
+- ✅ Purely functional composition
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Combining IO operations with ReaderResult in the `context/readerresult` package makes sense because:
+
+1. **ReaderResult is already effectful** due to its dependency on `context.Context`
+2. **IO operations are also effectful**, making them a natural fit
+3. **The combination provides practical benefits** for real-world Go applications
+4. **It aligns with Go's pragmatic philosophy** of embracing side effects when necessary
+5. **It enables type-safe composition** of effectful operations
+
+The key insight is that `context.Context` itself is a side effect, so adding more side effects (IO operations) doesn't violate any purity constraints—because there were none to begin with. This package provides tools to work with these side effects in a safe, composable, and type-safe manner.

+// # Side Effects and Context
+//
+// IMPORTANT: In contrast to the functional readerresult package (readerresult.ReaderResult[R, A]),
+// this context/readerresult package has side effects by design because it depends on context.Context,
+// which is inherently effectful:
+//   - context.Context can be cancelled (ctx.Done() channel)
+//   - context.Context has deadlines and timeouts (ctx.Deadline())
+//   - context.Context carries request-scoped values (ctx.Value())
+//   - context.Context propagates cancellation signals across goroutines
+//
+// This means that ReaderResult[A] = func(context.Context) (A, error) represents an EFFECTFUL computation,
+// not a pure function. The computation's behavior can change based on the context's state (cancelled,
+// timed out, etc.), making it fundamentally different from a pure Reader monad.
+//
+// Comparison of packages:
+//   - readerresult.ReaderResult[R, A] = func(R) Result[A] - PURE (R can be any type, no side effects)
+//   - idiomatic/readerresult.ReaderResult[R, A] = func(R) (A, error) - EFFECTFUL (also uses context.Context)
+//   - context/readerresult.ReaderResult[A] = func(context.Context) (A, error) - EFFECTFUL (uses context.Context)
+//
+// Use this package (context/readerresult) when you need:
+//   - Cancellation support for long-running operations
+//   - Timeout/deadline handling
+//   - Request-scoped values (tracing IDs, user context, etc.)
+//   - Integration with Go's standard context-aware APIs
+//   - Idiomatic Go error handling with (value, error) tuples
+//
+// Use the functional readerresult package when you need:
+//   - Pure dependency injection without side effects
+//   - Testable computations with simple state/config objects
+//   - Functional composition without context propagation
+//   - Generic environment types (not limited to context.Context)
+//
 // # Pure vs Effectful Functions

-// Memoize converts a unary function into a unary function that caches the value depending on the parameter
+// Memoize converts a unary function into a memoized version that caches computed values.
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - On first call with a given input, the function executes and the result is cached
+//   - Subsequent calls with the same input return the cached result without re-execution
+//   - The cache uses the input parameter directly as the key (must be comparable)
+//   - The cache is thread-safe using mutex locks
+//   - The cache has no size limit and grows unbounded
+//   - Each unique input creates a new cache entry that persists for the lifetime of the memoized function
+//
+// Implementation Details:
+//   - Uses an internal map[K]func()T to store lazy values
+//   - The cached value is wrapped in a lazy function to defer computation until needed
+//   - Lock is held only to access the cache map, not during value computation
+//   - This allows concurrent computations for different keys
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - K: The type of the function parameter, must be comparable (used as cache key)
+//   - T: The return type of the function
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - f: The function to memoize
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A memoized version of the function that caches results by parameter value
+//
+// Example:

-// ContramapMemoize converts a unary function into a unary function that caches the value depending on the parameter
+// ContramapMemoize creates a higher-order function that memoizes functions using a custom key extraction strategy.
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Allows caching based on a derived key rather than the full input parameter
+//   - The key extraction function (kf) determines what constitutes a cache hit
+//   - Two inputs that produce the same key will share the same cached result
+//   - This enables caching for non-comparable types by extracting comparable keys
+//   - The cache is thread-safe and unbounded
+//
+// Use Cases:
+//   - Cache by a subset of struct fields (e.g., User.ID instead of entire User)
+//   - Cache by a computed property (e.g., string length, hash value)
+//   - Normalize inputs before caching (e.g., lowercase strings, rounded numbers)
+//
+// Implementation Details:
+//   - Internally uses the same caching mechanism as Memoize
+//   - The key function is applied to each input before cache lookup
+//   - Returns a function transformer that can be applied to any function with matching signature
+//
+// Type Parameters:

-// CacheCallback converts a unary function into a unary function that caches the value depending on the parameter
+// CacheCallback creates a higher-order function that memoizes functions using a custom cache implementation.
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Provides complete control over caching strategy through the getOrCreate callback
+//   - Separates cache key extraction (kf) from cache storage (getOrCreate)
+//   - The getOrCreate function receives a key and a lazy value generator
+//   - The cache implementation decides when to store, evict, or retrieve values
+//   - Enables advanced caching strategies: LRU, LFU, TTL, bounded size, etc.
+//
+// How It Works:
+//  1. When the memoized function is called with input A:
+//  2. The key function (kf) extracts a cache key K from A
+//  3. A lazy value generator is created that will compute f(A) when called
+//  4. The getOrCreate callback is invoked with the key and lazy generator
+//  5. The cache implementation returns a lazy value (either cached or newly created)
+//  6. The lazy value is evaluated to produce the final result T
+//
+// Cache Implementation Contract:
+//   - getOrCreate receives: (key K, generator func() func() T)
+//   - getOrCreate returns: func() T (a lazy value)
+//   - The generator creates a new lazy value when called
+//   - The cache should store and return lazy values, not final results
+//   - This allows deferred computation and proper lazy evaluation
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - T: The return type of the function to be memoized
+//   - A: The input type of the function to be memoized
+//   - K: The type of the cache key, must be comparable
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - kf: A function that extracts a cache key from the input parameter
+//   - getOrCreate: A cache implementation that stores and retrieves lazy values
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A function that takes a function (A) -> T and returns its memoized version

+//	    cache := make(map[int]func() string)

+//	            return existing // Cache hit
+//	        }
+//
+//	        // Evict oldest if at capacity
+//	        if len(keys) >= maxSize {

-// SingleElementCache creates a cache function for use with the [CacheCallback] method that has a maximum capacity of one single item
+// SingleElementCache creates a thread-safe cache implementation that stores at most one element.
+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - Stores only the most recently accessed key-value pair
+//   - When a new key is accessed, it replaces the previous cached entry
+//   - If the same key is accessed again, the cached value is returned
+//   - Thread-safe: uses mutex to protect concurrent access
+//   - Memory-efficient: constant O(1) space regardless of usage
+//
+// How It Works:
+//  1. Initially, the cache is empty (hasKey = false)
+//  2. On first access with key K1:
+//     - Calls the generator to create a lazy value
+//     - Stores K1 and the lazy value
+//     - Returns the lazy value
+//  3. On subsequent access with same key K1:
+//     - Returns the stored lazy value without calling generator
+//  4. On access with different key K2:
+//     - Calls the generator to create a new lazy value
+//     - Replaces K1 with K2 and updates the stored lazy value
+//     - Returns the new lazy value
+//  5. If K1 is accessed again, it's treated as a new key (cache miss)
+//
+// Use Cases:
+//   - Sequential processing where the same key is accessed multiple times in a row
+//   - Memory-constrained environments where unbounded caches are not feasible
+//   - Scenarios where only the most recent computation needs caching
+//   - Testing or debugging with controlled cache behavior
+//
+// Important Notes:
+//   - The cache stores the lazy value (func() T), not the computed result
+//   - Each time the returned lazy value is called, it may recompute (depends on lazy implementation)
+//   - For true result caching, combine with lazy memoization (as done in CacheCallback)
+//   - Alternating between two keys will cause constant cache misses
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - K: The type of the cache key, must be comparable
+//   - T: The type of the cached value
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A cache function suitable for use with CacheCallback
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	// Create a single-element cache
+//	cache := SingleElementCache[int, string]()
+//
+//	// Use with CacheCallback
+//	memoizer := CacheCallback[string, int, int](
+//	    Identity[int],  // Use input as key
+//	    cache,
+//	)
+//
+//	expensiveFunc := func(n int) string {
+//	    time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
+//	    return fmt.Sprintf("Result: %d", n)
+//	}
+//
+//	memoized := memoizer(expensiveFunc)
+//	result1 := memoized(42) // Computed (100ms) and cached
+//	result2 := memoized(42) // Instant - returns cached value

+//	result4 := memoized(99) // Instant - returns cached value
+//	result5 := memoized(42) // Computed (100ms) - cache was replaced, must recompute
+//
+// Performance Characteristics:
+//   - Space: O(1) - stores exactly one key-value pair
+//   - Time: O(1) - cache lookup and update are constant time
+//   - Best case: Same key accessed repeatedly (100% hit rate)
+//   - Worst case: Alternating keys (0% hit rate)

+// Package form provides functional utilities for working with HTTP form data (url.Values).
+//
+// This package offers a functional approach to building and manipulating HTTP form data
+// using lenses, endomorphisms, and monoids. It enables immutable transformations of
+// url.Values through composable operations.
+//
+// # Core Concepts
+//
+// The package is built around several key abstractions:
+//   - Endomorphism: A function that transforms url.Values immutably
+//   - Lenses: Optics for focusing on specific form fields
+//   - Monoids: For combining form transformations and values
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Create form data by composing endomorphisms:
+//
+//	form := F.Pipe3(
+//	    form.Default,
+//	    form.WithValue("username")("john"),
+//	    form.WithValue("email")("john@example.com"),
+//	    form.WithValue("age")("30"),
+//	)
+//
+// Remove fields from forms:
+//
+//	updated := F.Pipe1(
+//	    form,
+//	    form.WithoutValue("age"),
+//	)
+//
+// # Lenses
+//
+// The package provides two main lenses:
+//   - AtValues: Focuses on all values of a form field ([]string)
+//   - AtValue: Focuses on the first value of a form field (Option[string])
+//
+// Use lenses to read and update form fields:
+//
+//	lens := form.AtValue("username")
+//	value := lens.Get(form)  // Returns Option[string]
+//	updated := lens.Set(O.Some("jane"))(form)
+//
+// # Monoids
+//
+// Combine multiple form transformations:
+//
+//	transform := form.Monoid.Concat(
+//	    form.WithValue("field1")("value1"),
+//	    form.WithValue("field2")("value2"),
+//	)
+//	result := transform(form.Default)

+// Package file provides IO operations for file system interactions.
+//
+// This package offers functional wrappers around common file operations,
+// returning IO monads that encapsulate side effects. All operations are
+// lazy and only execute when the returned IO is invoked.
+//
+// # Core Operations
+//
+// The package provides two main operations:
+//   - Close: Safely close io.Closer resources
+//   - Remove: Remove files from the file system
+//
+// Both operations ignore errors and return the original input, making them
+// suitable for cleanup operations where errors should not interrupt the flow.
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+//	// Close a file
+//	file, _ := os.Open("data.txt")
+//	closeIO := file.Close(file)
+//	closeIO() // Closes the file, ignoring any error
+//
+//	// Remove a file
+//	removeIO := file.Remove("temp.txt")
+//	removeIO() // Removes the file, ignoring any error
+//
+// # Composition with IO
+//
+// These operations can be composed with other IO operations:
+//
+//	result := pipe.Pipe2(
+//	    openFile("data.txt"),
+//	    io.ChainFirst(processFile),
+//	    io.Chain(file.Close),
+//	)
+//
+// # Error Handling
+//
+// Both Close and Remove intentionally ignore errors. This design is suitable
+// for cleanup operations where:
+//   - The operation is best-effort
+//   - Errors should not interrupt the program flow
+//   - The resource state is not critical
+//
+// For operations requiring error handling, use ioeither or ioresult instead.

+// Package codec provides a functional approach to encoding and decoding data with validation.
+//
+// The codec package combines the concepts of encoders and decoders into a unified Type that can
+// both encode values to an output format and decode/validate values from an input format. This
+// is particularly useful for data serialization, API validation, and type-safe transformations.
+//
+// # Core Concepts
+//
+// Type[A, O, I]: A bidirectional codec that can:
+//   - Decode input I to type A with validation
+//   - Encode type A to output O
+//   - Check if a value is of type A
+//
+// Validation: Decoding returns Either[Errors, A] which represents:
+//   - Left(Errors): Validation failed with detailed error information
+//   - Right(A): Successfully decoded and validated value
+//
+// Context: A stack of ContextEntry values that tracks the path through nested structures
+// during validation, providing detailed error messages.
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Creating a simple type:
+//
+//	nilType := codec.MakeNilType[string]()
+//	result := nilType.Decode(nil) // Success
+//	result := nilType.Decode("not nil") // Failure
+//
+// Composing types with Pipe:
+//
+//	composed := codec.Pipe(typeB)(typeA)
+//	// Decodes: I -> A -> B
+//	// Encodes: B -> A -> O
+//
+// # Type Parameters
+//
+// Most functions use three type parameters:
+//   - A: The domain type (the actual Go type being encoded/decoded)
+//   - O: The output type for encoding
+//   - I: The input type for decoding
+//
+// # Validation Errors
+//
+// ValidationError contains:
+//   - Value: The actual value that failed validation
+//   - Context: The path to the value in nested structures
+//   - Message: Human-readable error description
+//
+// # Integration
+//
+// This package integrates with:
+//   - optics/decoder: For decoding operations
+//   - optics/encoder: For encoding operations
+//   - either: For validation results
+//   - option: For optional type checking
+//   - reader: For context-dependent operations

 // Package readerioeither provides a functional programming abstraction that combines
 // three powerful concepts: Reader, IO, and Either monads.
 //
+// # Type Parameter Ordering Convention
+//
+// This package follows a consistent convention for ordering type parameters in function signatures.
+// The general rule is: R -> E -> T (context, error, type), where:
+//   - R: The Reader context/environment type
+//   - E: The Either error type
+//   - T: The value type(s) (A, B, etc.)
+//
+// However, when some type parameters can be automatically inferred by the Go compiler from
+// function arguments, the convention is modified to minimize explicit type annotations:
+//
+// Rule: Undetectable types come first, followed by detectable types, while preserving
+// the relative order within each group (R -> E -> T).
+//
+// Examples:
+//
+//  1. All types detectable from first argument:
+//     MonadMap[R, E, A, B](fa ReaderIOEither[R, E, A], f func(A) B)
+//     - R, E, A are detectable from fa
+//     - B is detectable from f
+//     - Order: R, E, A, B (standard order, all detectable)
+//
+//  2. Some types undetectable:
+//     FromReader[E, R, A](ma Reader[R, A]) ReaderIOEither[R, E, A]
+//     - R, A are detectable from ma
+//     - E is undetectable (not in any argument)
+//     - Order: E, R, A (E first as undetectable, then R, A in standard order)
+//
+//  3. Multiple undetectable types:
+//     Local[E, A, R1, R2](f func(R2) R1) func(ReaderIOEither[R1, E, A]) ReaderIOEither[R2, E, A]
+//     - E, A are undetectable
+//     - R1, R2 are detectable from f
+//
+//  4. Functions returning Kleisli arrows:
+//     ChainReaderOptionK[R, A, B, E](onNone func() E) func(readeroption.Kleisli[R, A, B]) Operator[R, E, A, B]
+//     - Canonical order would be R, E, A, B
+//     - E is detectable from onNone parameter
+//     - R, A, B are not detectable (they're in the Kleisli argument type)
+//     - Order: R, A, B, E (undetectable R, A, B first, then detectable E)
+//
+// This convention allows for more ergonomic function calls:
+//
+//	// Without convention - need to specify all types:
+//	result := FromReader[context.Context, error, User](readerFunc)
+//
+//	// With convention - only specify undetectable type:
+//	result := FromReader[error](readerFunc)  // R and A inferred from readerFunc
+//
+// The reasoning behind this approach is to reduce the number of explicit type parameters
+// that developers need to specify when calling functions, improving code readability and
+// reducing verbosity while maintaining type safety.
+//
+// Additional examples demonstrating the convention:
+//
+//  5. FromReaderOption[R, A, E](onNone func() E) Kleisli[R, E, ReaderOption[R, A], A]
+//     - Canonical order would be R, E, A
+//     - E is detectable from onNone parameter
+//     - R, A are not detectable (they're in the return type's Kleisli)
+//     - Order: R, A, E (undetectable R, A first, then detectable E)
+//
+//  6. MapLeft[R, A, E1, E2](f func(E1) E2) func(ReaderIOEither[R, E1, A]) ReaderIOEither[R, E2, A]
+//     - Canonical order would be R, E1, E2, A
+//     - E1, E2 are detectable from f parameter
+//     - R, A are not detectable (they're in the return type)
+//     - Order: R, A, E1, E2 (undetectable R, A first, then detectable E1, E2)
+//
+// Additional special cases:
+//
+//   - Ap[B, R, E, A]: B is undetectable (in function return type), so B comes first
+//   - OrLeft[A, E1, R, E2]: A is undetectable, comes first before detectable E1, R, E2
+//   - ReadIO[E, A, R]: E and A are undetectable, R is detectable from IO[R]
+//   - ChainFirstLeft[A, R, EA, EB, B]: A is undetectable, comes first before detectable R, EA, EB, B
+//   - TapLeft[A, R, EB, EA, B]: Similar to ChainFirstLeft, A is undetectable and comes first
+//
+// All functions in this package follow this convention consistently.
