+# fp-go HTTP Requests
+
+## Overview
+
+fp-go wraps `net/http` in the `ReaderIOResult` monad, giving you composable, context-aware HTTP operations with automatic error propagation. The core package is:
+
+```
+github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult/http
+```
+
+All HTTP operations are lazy — they describe what to do but do not execute until you call the resulting function with a `context.Context`.
+
+## Core Types
+
+```go
+// Requester builds an *http.Request given a context.
+type Requester = ReaderIOResult[*http.Request]  // func(context.Context) func() result.Result[*http.Request]
+
+// Client executes a Requester and returns the response wrapped in ReaderIOResult.
+type Client interface {
+    Do(Requester) ReaderIOResult[*http.Response]
+}
+```
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### 1. Create a Client
+
+```go
+import (
+    HTTP "net/http"
+    H    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult/http"
+)
+
+client := H.MakeClient(HTTP.DefaultClient)
+
+// Or with a custom client:
+custom := &HTTP.Client{Timeout: 10 * time.Second}
+client := H.MakeClient(custom)
+```
+
+### 2. Build a Request
+
+```go
+// GET request (most common)
+req := H.MakeGetRequest("https://api.example.com/users/1")
+
+// Arbitrary method + body
+req := H.MakeRequest("POST", "https://api.example.com/users", bodyReader)
+```
+
+### 3. Execute and Parse
+
+```go
+import (
+    "context"
+    H "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult/http"
+)
+
+type User struct {
+    ID   int    `json:"id"`
+    Name string `json:"name"`
+}
+
+client := H.MakeClient(HTTP.DefaultClient)
+
+// ReadJSON validates status, Content-Type, then unmarshals JSON
+result := H.ReadJSON[User](client)(H.MakeGetRequest("https://api.example.com/users/1"))
+
+// Execute — provide context once
+user, err := result(context.Background())()
+```
+
+## Response Readers
+
+All accept a `Client` and return a function `Requester → ReaderIOResult[A]`:
+
+| Function | Returns | Notes |
+|----------|---------|-------|
+| `ReadJSON[A](client)` | `ReaderIOResult[A]` | Validates status + Content-Type, unmarshals JSON |
+| `ReadText(client)` | `ReaderIOResult[string]` | Validates status, reads body as UTF-8 string |
+| `ReadAll(client)` | `ReaderIOResult[[]byte]` | Validates status, returns raw body bytes |
+| `ReadFullResponse(client)` | `ReaderIOResult[FullResponse]` | Returns `Pair[*http.Response, []byte]` |
+
+`FullResponse = Pair[*http.Response, []byte]` — use `pair.First` / `pair.Second` to access components.
+
+## Composing Requests in Pipelines
+
+```go
+import (
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    H   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult/http"
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    IO  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/io"
+)
+
+client     := H.MakeClient(HTTP.DefaultClient)
+readPost   := H.ReadJSON[Post](client)
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe2(
+    H.MakeGetRequest("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"),
+    readPost,
+    RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[Post]("Got post: %v")),
+)
+
+post, err := pipeline(context.Background())()
+```
+
+## Parallel Requests — Homogeneous Types
+
+Use `RIO.TraverseArray` when all requests return the same type:
+
+```go
+import (
+    A   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/array"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    H   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult/http"
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    IO  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/io"
+)
+
+type PostItem struct {
+    UserID uint   `json:"userId"`
+    ID     uint   `json:"id"`
+    Title  string `json:"title"`
+}
+
+client     := H.MakeClient(HTTP.DefaultClient)
+readPost   := H.ReadJSON[PostItem](client)
+
+// Fetch 10 posts in parallel
+data := F.Pipe3(
+    A.MakeBy(10, func(i int) string {
+        return fmt.Sprintf("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/%d", i+1)
+    }),
+    RIO.TraverseArray(F.Flow3(
+        H.MakeGetRequest,
+        readPost,
+        RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[PostItem]("Post: %v")),
+    )),
+    RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[[]PostItem]("All posts: %v")),
+    RIO.Map(A.Size[PostItem]),
+)
+
+count, err := data(context.Background())()
+```
+
+## Parallel Requests — Heterogeneous Types
+
+Use `RIO.TraverseTuple2` (or `Tuple3`, etc.) when requests return different types:
+
+```go
+import (
+    T   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/tuple"
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    H   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult/http"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+type CatFact struct {
+    Fact string `json:"fact"`
+}
+
+client         := H.MakeClient(HTTP.DefaultClient)
+readPost       := H.ReadJSON[PostItem](client)
+readCatFact    := H.ReadJSON[CatFact](client)
+
+// Execute both requests in parallel with different response types
+data := F.Pipe3(
+    T.MakeTuple2(
+        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1",
+        "https://catfact.ninja/fact",
+    ),
+    T.Map2(H.MakeGetRequest, H.MakeGetRequest), // build both requesters
+    RIO.TraverseTuple2(readPost, readCatFact),  // run in parallel, typed
+    RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[T.Tuple2[PostItem, CatFact]]("Result: %v")),
+)
+
+both, err := data(context.Background())()
+// both.F1 is PostItem, both.F2 is CatFact
+```
+
+## Building Requests with the Builder API
+
+For complex requests (custom headers, query params, JSON body), use the builder:
+
+```go
+import (
+    B  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/http/builder"
+    RB "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult/http/builder"
+    F  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+// GET with query parameters
+req := F.Pipe2(
+    B.Default,
+    B.WithURL("https://api.example.com/items?page=1"),
+    B.WithQueryArg("limit")("50"),
+)
+requester := RB.Requester(req)
+
+// POST with JSON body
+req := F.Pipe3(
+    B.Default,
+    B.WithURL("https://api.example.com/users"),
+    B.WithMethod("POST"),
+    B.WithJSON(map[string]string{"name": "Alice"}),
+    // sets Content-Type: application/json automatically
+)
+requester := RB.Requester(req)
+
+// With authentication and custom headers
+req := F.Pipe3(
+    B.Default,
+    B.WithURL("https://api.example.com/protected"),
+    B.WithBearer("my-token"),           // sets Authorization: Bearer my-token
+    B.WithHeader("X-Request-ID")("123"),
+)
+requester := RB.Requester(req)
+
+// Execute
+result := H.ReadJSON[Response](client)(requester)
+data, err := result(ctx)()
+```
+
+### Builder Functions
+
+| Function | Effect |
+|----------|--------|
+| `B.WithURL(url)` | Set the target URL |
+| `B.WithMethod(method)` | Set HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, …) |
+| `B.WithJSON(v)` | Marshal `v` as JSON body, set `Content-Type: application/json` |
+| `B.WithBytes(data)` | Set raw bytes body, set `Content-Length` automatically |
+| `B.WithHeader(key)(value)` | Add a request header |
+| `B.WithBearer(token)` | Set `Authorization: Bearer <token>` |
+| `B.WithQueryArg(key)(value)` | Append a query parameter |
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Errors from request creation, HTTP status codes, Content-Type validation, and JSON parsing all propagate automatically through the `Result` monad. You only handle errors at the call site:
+
+```go
+// Pattern 1: direct extraction
+value, err := pipeline(ctx)()
+if err != nil { /* handle */ }
+
+// Pattern 2: Fold for clean HTTP handler
+RIO.Fold(
+    func(err error) { http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError) },
+    func(data MyType) { json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(data) },
+)(pipeline)(ctx)()
+```
+
+## Full HTTP Handler Example
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "encoding/json"
+    "net/http"
+    HTTP "net/http"

+)
+
+type Post struct {
+    ID    int    `json:"id"`
+    Title string `json:"title"`
+}
+
+var client = H.MakeClient(HTTP.DefaultClient)
+
+func fetchPost(id int) RIO.ReaderIOResult[Post] {
+    url := fmt.Sprintf("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/%d", id)
+    return F.Pipe2(
+        H.MakeGetRequest(url),
+        H.ReadJSON[Post](client),
+        RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[Post]("fetched: %v")),
+    )
+}
+
+func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    RIO.Fold(
+        func(err error) {
+            http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusBadGateway)
+        },
+        func(post Post) {
+            w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
+            json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(post)

+# fp-go Logging
+
+## Overview
+
+fp-go provides logging utilities that integrate naturally with functional pipelines. Logging is always a **side effect** — it should not change the value being processed. The library achieves this through `ChainFirst`-style combinators that thread the original value through unchanged while performing the log.
+
+## Packages
+
+| Package | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/logging` | Global logger, context-embedded logger, `LoggingCallbacks` |
+| `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/io` | `Logf`, `Logger`, `LogGo`, `Printf`, `PrintGo` — IO-level logging helpers |
+| `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/readerio` | `SLog`, `SLogWithCallback` — structured logging for ReaderIO |
+| `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerio` | `SLog`, `SLogWithCallback` — structured logging for context ReaderIO |
+| `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerresult` | `SLog`, `TapSLog`, `SLogWithCallback` — structured logging for ReaderResult |
+| `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult` | `SLog`, `TapSLog`, `SLogWithCallback`, `LogEntryExit`, `LogEntryExitWithCallback` — full suite for ReaderIOResult |
+
+## Logging Inside Pipelines
+
+The idiomatic way to log inside a monadic pipeline is `ChainFirstIOK` (or `ChainFirst` where the monad is already IO). These combinators execute a side-effecting function and pass the **original value** downstream unchanged.
+
+### With `IOResult` / `ReaderIOResult` — printf-style
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    IO  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/io"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe3(
+    fetchUser(42),
+    RIO.ChainEitherK(validateUser),
+    // Log after validation — value flows through unchanged
+    RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[User]("Validated user: %v")),
+    RIO.Map(enrichUser),
+)
+```
+
+`IO.Logf[A](format string) func(A) IO[A]` logs using `log.Printf` and returns the value unchanged. It's a Kleisli arrow suitable for `ChainFirst` and `ChainFirstIOK`.
+
+### With `IOEither` / plain `IO`
+
+```go
+import (
+    IOE "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/ioeither"
+    IO  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/io"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe3(
+    file.ReadFile("config.json"),
+    IOE.ChainEitherK(J.Unmarshal[Config]),
+    IOE.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[Config]("Loaded config: %v")),
+    IOE.Map[error](processConfig),
+)
+```
+
+### Logging Arrays in TraverseArray
+
+```go
+import (
+    A   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/array"
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    IO  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/io"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+// Log each item individually, then log the final slice
+pipeline := F.Pipe2(
+    A.MakeBy(3, idxToFilename),
+    RIO.TraverseArray(F.Flow3(
+        file.ReadFile,
+        RIO.ChainEitherK(J.Unmarshal[Record]),
+        RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[Record]("Parsed record: %v")),
+    )),
+    RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[[]Record]("All records: %v")),
+)
+```
+
+## IO Logging Functions
+
+All live in `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/io`:
+
+### `Logf` — printf-style
+
+```go
+IO.Logf[A any](format string) func(A) IO[A]
+```
+
+Uses `log.Printf`. The format string works like `fmt.Sprintf`.
+
+```go
+IO.Logf[User]("Processing user: %+v")
+IO.Logf[int]("Count: %d")
+```
+
+### `Logger` — with custom `*log.Logger`
+
+```go
+IO.Logger[A any](loggers ...*log.Logger) func(prefix string) func(A) IO[A]
+```
+
+Uses `logger.Printf(prefix+": %v", value)`. Pass your own `*log.Logger` instance.
+
+```go
+customLog := log.New(os.Stderr, "APP ", log.LstdFlags)
+logUser := IO.Logger[User](customLog)("user")
+// logs: "APP user: {ID:42 Name:Alice}"
+```
+
+### `LogGo` — Go template syntax
+
+```go
+IO.LogGo[A any](tmpl string) func(A) IO[A]
+```
+
+Uses Go's `text/template`. The template receives the value as `.`.
+
+```go
+type User struct{ Name string; Age int }
+IO.LogGo[User]("User {{.Name}} is {{.Age}} years old")
+```
+
+### `Printf` / `PrintGo` — stdout instead of log
+
+Same signatures as `Logf` / `LogGo` but use `fmt.Printf`/`fmt.Println` (no log prefix, no timestamp).
+
+```go
+IO.Printf[Result]("Result: %v\n")
+IO.PrintGo[User]("Name: {{.Name}}")
+```
+
+## Structured Logging in the `context` Package
+
+The `context/readerioresult`, `context/readerresult`, and `context/readerio` packages provide structured `slog`-based logging functions that are context-aware: they retrieve the logger from the context (via `logging.GetLoggerFromContext`) rather than using a fixed logger instance.
+
+### `TapSLog` — inline structured logging in a ReaderIOResult pipeline
+
+`TapSLog` is an **Operator** (`func(ReaderIOResult[A]) ReaderIOResult[A]`). It sits directly in a `F.Pipe` call on a `ReaderIOResult`, logs the current value or error using `slog`, and passes the result through unchanged.
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe4(
+    fetchOrder(orderID),
+    RIO.TapSLog[Order]("Order fetched"),        // logs value=<Order> or error=<err>
+    RIO.Chain(validateOrder),
+    RIO.TapSLog[Order]("Order validated"),
+    RIO.Chain(processPayment),
+)
+
+result, err := pipeline(ctx)()
+```
+
+- Logs **both** success values (`value=<A>`) and errors (`error=<err>`) using `slog` structured attributes.
+- Respects the logger level — if the logger is configured to discard Info-level logs, nothing is written.
+- Available in both `context/readerioresult` and `context/readerresult`.
+
+### `SLog` — Kleisli-style structured logging
+
+`SLog` is a **Kleisli arrow** (`func(Result[A]) ReaderResult[A]` / `func(Result[A]) ReaderIOResult[A]`). It is used with `Chain` when you want to intercept the raw `Result` directly.
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe3(
+    fetchData(id),
+    RIO.Chain(RIO.SLog[Data]("Data fetched")),    // log raw Result, pass it through
+    RIO.Chain(validateData),
+    RIO.Chain(RIO.SLog[Data]("Data validated")),
+    RIO.Chain(processData),
+)
+```
+
+**Difference from `TapSLog`:**
+- `TapSLog[A](msg)` is an `Operator[A, A]` — used directly in `F.Pipe` on a `ReaderIOResult[A]`.
+- `SLog[A](msg)` is a `Kleisli[Result[A], A]` — used with `Chain`, giving access to the raw `Result[A]`.
+
+Both log in the same format. `TapSLog` is more ergonomic in most pipelines.
+
+### `SLogWithCallback` — custom log level and logger source
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    "log/slog"
+)
+
+// Log at DEBUG level with a custom logger extracted from context
+debugLog := RIO.SLogWithCallback[User](
+    slog.LevelDebug,
+    logging.GetLoggerFromContext, // or any func(context.Context) *slog.Logger
+    "Fetched user",
+)
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe2(
+    fetchUser(123),
+    RIO.Chain(debugLog),
+    RIO.Map(func(u User) string { return u.Name }),
+)
+```
+
+### `LogEntryExit` — automatic entry/exit timing with correlation IDs
+
+`LogEntryExit` wraps a `ReaderIOResult` computation with structured entry and exit log messages. It assigns a unique **correlation ID** (`ID=<n>`) to each invocation so concurrent or nested operations can be correlated in logs.
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe3(
+    fetchUser(123),
+    RIO.LogEntryExit[User]("fetchUser"),   // wraps the operation
+    RIO.Chain(func(user User) RIO.ReaderIOResult[[]Order] {
+        return F.Pipe1(
+            fetchOrders(user.ID),
+            RIO.LogEntryExit[[]Order]("fetchOrders"),
+        )
+    }),
+)
+
+result, err := pipeline(ctx)()
+// Logs:
+// level=INFO msg="[entering]" name=fetchUser ID=1
+// level=INFO msg="[exiting ]" name=fetchUser ID=1 duration=42ms
+// level=INFO msg="[entering]" name=fetchOrders ID=2
+// level=INFO msg="[exiting ]" name=fetchOrders ID=2 duration=18ms
+```
+
+On error, the exit log changes to `[throwing]` and includes the error:
+
+```
+level=INFO msg="[throwing]" name=fetchUser ID=3 duration=5ms error="user not found"
+```
+
+Key properties:
+- **Correlation ID** (`ID=`) is unique per operation, monotonically increasing, and stored in the context so nested operations can access the parent's ID.
+- **Duration** (`duration=`) is measured from entry to exit.
+- **Logger is taken from the context** — embed a request-scoped logger with `logging.WithLogger` before executing the pipeline and `LogEntryExit` picks it up automatically.
+- **Level-aware** — if the logger does not have the log level enabled, the entire entry/exit instrumentation is skipped (zero overhead).
+- The original `ReaderIOResult[A]` value flows through **unchanged**.
+
+```go
+// Use a context logger so all log messages carry request metadata
+cancelFn, ctxWithLogger := pair.Unpack(
+    logging.WithLogger(
+        slog.Default().With("requestID", r.Header.Get("X-Request-ID")),
+    )(r.Context()),
+)
+defer cancelFn()
+
+result, err := pipeline(ctxWithLogger)()
+```
+
+### `LogEntryExitWithCallback` — custom log level
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    "log/slog"
+)
+
+// Log at DEBUG level instead of INFO
+debugPipeline := F.Pipe1(
+    expensiveComputation(),
+    RIO.LogEntryExitWithCallback[Result](
+        slog.LevelDebug,
+        logging.GetLoggerFromContext,
+        "expensiveComputation",
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+### `SLog` / `SLogWithCallback` in `context/readerresult`
+
+The same `SLog` and `TapSLog` functions are also available in `context/readerresult` for use with the synchronous `ReaderResult[A] = func(context.Context) (A, error)` monad:
+
+```go
+import RR "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerresult"
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe3(
+    queryDB(id),
+    RR.TapSLog[Row]("Row fetched"),
+    RR.Chain(parseRow),
+    RR.TapSLog[Record]("Record parsed"),
+)
+```
+
+## Global Logger (`logging` package)
+
+The `logging` package manages a global `*slog.Logger` (structured logging, Go 1.21+).
+
+```go
+import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/logging"
+
+// Get the current global logger (defaults to slog.Default())
+logger := logging.GetLogger()
+logger.Info("application started", "version", "1.0")
+
+// Replace the global logger; returns the old one for deferred restore
+old := logging.SetLogger(slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil)))
+defer logging.SetLogger(old)
+```
+
+## Context-Embedded Logger
+
+Embed a `*slog.Logger` in a `context.Context` to carry request-scoped loggers across the call stack. All context-package logging functions (`TapSLog`, `SLog`, `LogEntryExit`) pick up this logger automatically.
+
+```go
+import (
+    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/logging"
+    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/pair"
+    "log/slog"
+)
+
+// Create a request-scoped logger
+reqLogger := slog.Default().With("requestID", "abc-123")
+
+// Embed it into a context using the Kleisli arrow WithLogger
+cancelFn, ctxWithLogger := pair.Unpack(logging.WithLogger(reqLogger)(ctx))
+defer cancelFn()
+
+// All downstream logging (TapSLog, LogEntryExit, etc.) uses reqLogger
+result, err := pipeline(ctxWithLogger)()
+```
+
+`WithLogger` returns a `ContextCancel = Pair[context.CancelFunc, context.Context]`. The cancel function is a no-op — the context is only enriched, not made cancellable.
+
+`GetLoggerFromContext` falls back to the global logger if no logger is found in the context.
+
+## `LoggingCallbacks` — Dual-Logger Pattern
+
+```go
+import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/logging"
+
+// Returns (infoCallback, errorCallback) — both are func(string, ...any)
+infoLog, errLog := logging.LoggingCallbacks()                    // use log.Default() for both
+infoLog, errLog := logging.LoggingCallbacks(myLogger)            // same logger for both
+infoLog, errLog := logging.LoggingCallbacks(infoLog, errorLog)   // separate loggers
+```
+
+Used internally by `io.Logger` and by packages that need separate info/error sinks.
+
+## Choosing the Right Logging Function
+
+| Situation | Use |
+|-----------|-----|
+| Quick printf logging mid-pipeline | `IO.Logf[A]("fmt")` with `ChainFirstIOK` |
+| Go template formatting mid-pipeline | `IO.LogGo[A]("tmpl")` with `ChainFirstIOK` |
+| Print to stdout (no log prefix) | `IO.Printf[A]("fmt")` with `ChainFirstIOK` |
+| Structured slog — log value or error inline | `RIO.TapSLog[A]("msg")` (Operator, used in Pipe) |
+| Structured slog — intercept raw Result | `RIO.Chain(RIO.SLog[A]("msg"))` (Kleisli) |
+| Structured slog — custom log level | `RIO.SLogWithCallback[A](level, cb, "msg")` |
+| Entry/exit timing + correlation IDs | `RIO.LogEntryExit[A]("name")` |
+| Entry/exit at custom log level | `RIO.LogEntryExitWithCallback[A](level, cb, "name")` |
+| Structured logging globally | `logging.GetLogger()` / `logging.SetLogger()` |
+| Request-scoped logger in context | `logging.WithLogger(logger)` + `logging.GetLoggerFromContext(ctx)` |
+| Custom `*log.Logger` in pipeline | `IO.Logger[A](logger)("prefix")` with `ChainFirstIOK` |
+
+## Complete Example
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "log/slog"
+    "os"
+
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"

+# fp-go Monadic Operations
+
+## Overview
+
+`fp-go` (import path `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2`) brings type-safe functional programming to Go using generics. Every monad follows a **consistent interface**: once you know the pattern in one monad, it transfers to all others.
+
+All functions use the **data-last** principle: the data being transformed is always the last argument, enabling partial application and pipeline composition.
+
+## Core Types
+
+| Type | Package | Represents |
+|------|---------|------------|
+| `Option[A]` | `option` | A value that may or may not be present (replaces nil) |
+| `Either[E, A]` | `either` | A value that is either a left error `E` or a right success `A` |
+| `Result[A]` | `result` | `Either[error, A]` — shorthand for the common case |
+| `IO[A]` | `io` | A lazy computation that produces `A` (possibly with side effects) |
+| `IOResult[A]` | `ioresult` | `IO[Result[A]]` — lazy computation that can fail |
+| `ReaderIOResult[A]` | `context/readerioresult` | `func(context.Context) IOResult[A]` — context-aware IO with errors |
+| `Effect[C, A]` | `effect` | `func(C) ReaderIOResult[A]` — typed dependency injection + IO + errors |
+
+Idiomatic (high-performance, tuple-based) equivalents live in `idiomatic/`:
+- `idiomatic/option` — `(A, bool)` tuples
+- `idiomatic/result` — `(A, error)` tuples
+- `idiomatic/ioresult` — `func() (A, error)`
+- `idiomatic/context/readerresult` — `func(context.Context) (A, error)`
+
+## Standard Operations
+
+Every monad exports these operations (PascalCase for exported Go names):
+
+| fp-go | fp-ts / Haskell | Description |
+|-------|----------------|-------------|
+| `Of` | `of` / `pure` | Lift a pure value into the monad |
+| `Map` | `map` / `fmap` | Transform the value inside without changing the context |
+| `Chain` | `chain` / `>>=` | Sequence a computation that itself returns a monadic value |
+| `Ap` | `ap` / `<*>` | Apply a wrapped function to a wrapped value |
+| `Fold` | `fold` / `either` | Eliminate the context — handle every case and extract a plain value |
+| `GetOrElse` | `getOrElse` / `fromMaybe` | Extract the value or use a default (Option/Result) |
+| `Filter` | `filter` / `mfilter` | Keep only values satisfying a predicate |
+| `Flatten` | `flatten` / `join` | Remove one level of nesting (`M[M[A]]` → `M[A]`) |
+| `ChainFirst` | `chainFirst` / `>>` | Sequence for side effects; keeps the original value |
+| `Alt` | `alt` / `<\|>` | Provide an alternative when the first computation fails |
+| `FromPredicate` | `fromPredicate` / `guard` | Build a monadic value from a predicate |
+| `Sequence` | `sequence` | Turn `[]M[A]` into `M[[]A]` |
+| `Traverse` | `traverse` | Map and sequence in one step |
+
+Curried (composable) vs. monadic (direct) form:
+
+```go
+// Curried — data last, returns a transformer function
+option.Map(strings.ToUpper)              // func(Option[string]) Option[string]
+
+// Monadic — data first, immediate execution
+option.MonadMap(option.Some("hello"), strings.ToUpper)
+```
+
+Use curried form for pipelines; use `Monad*` form when you already have all arguments.
+
+## Key Type Aliases (defined per monad)
+
+```go
+// A Kleisli arrow: a function from A to a monadic B
+type Kleisli[A, B any] = func(A) M[B]
+
+// An operator: transforms one monadic value into another
+type Operator[A, B any] = func(M[A]) M[B]
+```
+
+`Chain` takes a `Kleisli`, `Map` returns an `Operator`. The naming is consistent across all monads.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Option — nullable values without nil
+
+```go
+import (
+    O "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/option"
+    F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    "strconv"
+)
+
+parseAndDouble := F.Flow2(
+    O.FromPredicate(func(s string) bool { return s != "" }),
+    O.Chain(func(s string) O.Option[int] {
+        n, err := strconv.Atoi(s)
+        if err != nil {
+            return O.None[int]()
+        }
+        return O.Some(n * 2)
+    }),
+)
+
+parseAndDouble("21")  // Some(42)
+parseAndDouble("")    // None
+parseAndDouble("abc") // None
+```
+
+### Result — error handling without if-err boilerplate
+
+```go
+import (
+    R  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/result"
+    F  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    "strconv"
+    "errors"
+)
+
+parse := R.Eitherize1(strconv.Atoi)  // lifts (int, error) → Result[int]
+
+validate := func(n int) R.Result[int] {
+    if n < 0 {
+        return R.Error[int](errors.New("must be non-negative"))
+    }
+    return R.Of(n)
+}
+
+pipeline := F.Flow2(parse, R.Chain(validate))
+
+pipeline("42")   // Ok(42)
+pipeline("-1")   // Error("must be non-negative")
+pipeline("abc")  // Error(strconv parse error)
+```
+
+### IOResult — lazy IO with error handling
+
+```go
+import (
+    IOE "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/ioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    J   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/json"
+    "os"
+)
+
+readConfig := F.Flow2(
+    IOE.Eitherize1(os.ReadFile),           // func(string) IOResult[[]byte]
+    IOE.ChainEitherK(J.Unmarshal[Config]), // parse JSON, propagate errors
+)
+
+result := readConfig("config.json")() // execute lazily
+```
+
+### ReaderIOResult — context-aware pipelines (recommended for services)
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    "context"
+)
+
+// type ReaderIOResult[A any] = func(context.Context) func() result.Result[A]
+
+fetchUser := func(id int) RIO.ReaderIOResult[User] {
+    return func(ctx context.Context) func() result.Result[User] {
+        return func() result.Result[User] {
+            // perform IO here
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+pipeline := F.Pipe3(
+    fetchUser(42),
+    RIO.ChainEitherK(validateUser),    // lift pure (User, error) function
+    RIO.Map(enrichUser),               // lift pure User → User function
+    RIO.ChainFirstIOK(IO.Logf[User]("Fetched: %v")), // side-effect logging
+)
+
+user, err := pipeline(ctx)() // provide context once, execute
+```
+
+### Traversal — process slices monadically
+
+```go
+import (
+    A   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/array"
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+// Fetch all users, stop on first error
+fetchAll := F.Pipe1(
+    A.MakeBy(10, userID),
+    RIO.TraverseArray(fetchUser),  // []ReaderIOResult[User] → ReaderIOResult[[]User]
+)
+```
+
+## Function Composition with Flow and Pipe
+
+```go
+import F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+
+// Flow: compose functions left-to-right, returns a new function
+transform := F.Flow3(
+    option.Map(strings.TrimSpace),
+    option.Filter(func(s string) bool { return s != "" }),
+    option.GetOrElse(func() string { return "default" }),
+)
+result := transform(option.Some("  hello  ")) // "hello"
+
+// Pipe: apply a value through a pipeline immediately
+result := F.Pipe3(
+    option.Some("  hello  "),
+    option.Map(strings.TrimSpace),
+    option.Filter(func(s string) bool { return s != "" }),
+    option.GetOrElse(func() string { return "default" }),
+)
+```
+
+## Lifting Pure Functions into Monadic Context
+
+fp-go provides helpers to promote non-monadic functions:
+
+| Helper | Lifts |
+|--------|-------|
+| `ChainEitherK` | `func(A) (B, error)` → works inside the monad |
+| `ChainOptionK` | `func(A) Option[B]` → works inside the monad |
+| `ChainFirstIOK` | `func(A) IO[B]` for side effects, keeps original value |
+| `Eitherize1..N` | `func(A) (B, error)` → `func(A) Result[B]` |
+| `FromPredicate` | `func(A) bool` + error builder → `func(A) Result[A]` |
+
+## Type Parameter Ordering Rule (V2)
+
+Non-inferrable type parameters come **first**, so the compiler can infer the rest:
+
+```go
+// B cannot be inferred from the argument — it comes first
+result := either.Ap[string](value)(funcInEither)
+
+// All types inferrable — no explicit params needed
+result := either.Map(transform)(value)
+result := either.Chain(validator)(value)
+```
+
+## When to Use Which Monad
+
+| Situation | Use |
+|-----------|-----|
+| Value that might be absent | `Option[A]` |
+| Operation that can fail with custom error type | `Either[E, A]` |
+| Operation that can fail with `error` | `Result[A]` |
+| Lazy IO, side effects | `IO[A]` |
+| IO that can fail | `IOResult[A]` |
+| IO + context (cancellation, deadlines) | `ReaderIOResult[A]` from `context/readerioresult` |
+| IO + context + typed dependencies | `Effect[C, A]` |
+| High-performance services | Idiomatic packages in `idiomatic/` |
+
+## Do-Notation: Accumulating State with `Bind` and `ApS`
+
+When a pipeline needs to carry **multiple intermediate results** forward — not just a single value — the `Chain`/`Map` style becomes unwieldy because each step only threads one value and prior results are lost. Do-notation solves this by accumulating results into a growing struct (the "state") at each step.
+
+Every monad that supports do-notation exports the same family of functions. The examples below use `context/readerioresult` (`RIO`), but the identical API is available in `result`, `option`, `ioresult`, `readerioresult`, and others.
+
+### The Function Family
+
+| Function | Kind | What it does |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| `Do(empty S)` | — | Lift an empty struct into the monad; starting point |
+| `BindTo(setter)` | monadic | Convert an existing `M[T]` into `M[S]`; alternative start |
+| `Bind(setter, f)` | monadic | Add a result; `f` receives the **current state** and returns `M[T]` |
+| `ApS(setter, fa)` | applicative | Add a result; `fa` is **independent** of the current state |
+| `Let(setter, f)` | pure | Add a value computed by a **pure function** of the state |
+| `LetTo(setter, value)` | pure | Add a **constant** value |
+
+Lens variants (`BindL`, `ApSL`, `LetL`, `LetToL`) accept a `Lens[S, T]` instead of a manual setter, integrating naturally with the optics system.
+
+### `Bind` — Sequential, Dependent Steps
+
+`Bind` sequences two monadic computations. The function `f` receives the **full accumulated state** so it can read anything gathered so far. Errors short-circuit automatically.
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    L   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/optics/lens"
+    "context"
+)
+
+type Pipeline struct {
+    User   User
+    Config Config
+    Posts  []Post
+}
+
+// Lenses — focus on individual fields; .Set is already func(T) func(S) S
+var (
+    userLens   = L.MakeLens(func(s Pipeline) User   { return s.User },   func(s Pipeline, u User)   Pipeline { s.User = u; return s })
+    configLens = L.MakeLens(func(s Pipeline) Config { return s.Config }, func(s Pipeline, c Config) Pipeline { s.Config = c; return s })
+    postsLens  = L.MakeLens(func(s Pipeline) []Post { return s.Posts },  func(s Pipeline, p []Post) Pipeline { s.Posts = p; return s })
+)
+
+result := F.Pipe3(
+    RIO.Do(Pipeline{}),                                                   // lift empty struct
+    RIO.Bind(userLens.Set,   func(_ Pipeline) RIO.ReaderIOResult[User] { return fetchUser(42) }),
+    RIO.Bind(configLens.Set, F.Flow2(userLens.Get, fetchConfigForUser)), // read s.User, pass to fetcher
+    RIO.Bind(postsLens.Set,  F.Flow2(userLens.Get, fetchPostsForUser)),  // read s.User, pass to fetcher
+)
+
+pipeline, err := result(context.Background())()
+// pipeline.User, pipeline.Config, pipeline.Posts are all populated
+```
+
+The setter signature is `func(T) func(S1) S2` — it takes the new value and returns a state transformer. `lens.Set` already has this shape, so no manual setter functions are needed. `F.Flow2(lens.Get, f)` composes the field getter with any Kleisli arrow `f` point-free.
+
+### `ApS` — Independent, Applicative Steps
+
+`ApS` uses **applicative** semantics: `fa` is evaluated without any access to the current state. Use it when steps have no dependency on each other — the library can choose to execute them concurrently.
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    L   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/optics/lens"
+)
+
+type Summary struct {
+    User    User
+    Weather Weather
+}
+
+var (
+    userLens    = L.MakeLens(func(s Summary) User    { return s.User },    func(s Summary, u User)    Summary { s.User = u; return s })
+    weatherLens = L.MakeLens(func(s Summary) Weather { return s.Weather }, func(s Summary, w Weather) Summary { s.Weather = w; return s })
+)
+
+// Both are independent — neither needs the other's result
+result := F.Pipe2(
+    RIO.Do(Summary{}),
+    RIO.ApS(userLens.Set,    fetchUser(42)),
+    RIO.ApS(weatherLens.Set, fetchWeather("NYC")),
+)
+```
+
+**Key difference from `Bind`:**
+
+| | `Bind(setter, f)` | `ApS(setter, fa)` |
+|-|---|---|
+| Second argument | `func(S1) M[T]` — a **function** of state | `M[T]` — a **fixed** monadic value |
+| Can read prior state? | Yes — receives `S1` | No — no access to state |
+| Semantics | Monadic (sequential) | Applicative (independent) |
+
+### `Let` and `LetTo` — Pure Additions
+
+`Let` adds a value computed by a **pure function** of the current state (no monad, cannot fail):
+
+```go
+import (
+    RIO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerioresult"
+    F   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    L   "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/optics/lens"
+)
+
+type Enriched struct {
+    User     User
+    FullName string
+}
+
+var (
+    userLens     = L.MakeLens(func(s Enriched) User   { return s.User },     func(s Enriched, u User)   Enriched { s.User = u; return s })
+    fullNameLens  = L.MakeLens(func(s Enriched) string { return s.FullName }, func(s Enriched, n string) Enriched { s.FullName = n; return s })
+)
+
+fullName := func(u User) string { return u.FirstName + " " + u.LastName }
+
+result := F.Pipe2(
+    RIO.Do(Enriched{}),
+    RIO.Bind(userLens.Set,     func(_ Enriched) RIO.ReaderIOResult[User] { return fetchUser(42) }),
+    RIO.Let(fullNameLens.Set,  F.Flow2(userLens.Get, fullName)), // read s.User, compute pure string
+)
+```
+
+`LetTo` adds a **constant** with no computation:
+
+```go
+RIO.LetTo(setVersion, "v1.2.3")
+```
+
+### `BindTo` — Starting from an Existing Value
+
+When you have an existing `M[T]` and want to project it into a state struct rather than starting from `Do(empty)`:
+
+```go
+type State struct{ User User }
+
+result := F.Pipe1(
+    fetchUser(42),                                           // ReaderIOResult[User]
+    RIO.BindTo(func(u User) State { return State{User: u} }),// ReaderIOResult[State]
+)
+```
+
+### Lens Variants (`ApSL`, `BindL`, `LetL`, `LetToL`)
+
+If you have a `Lens[S, T]` (from the optics system or code generation), you can skip writing the setter function entirely:
+
+```go
+import (
+    RO "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/readeroption"
+    F  "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+// Lenses generated by go:generate (see optics/README.md)
+// personLenses.Name : Lens[*Person, Name]
+// personLenses.Age  : Lens[*Person, Age]
+
+makePerson := F.Pipe2(
+    RO.Do[*PartialPerson](emptyPerson),
+    RO.ApSL(personLenses.Name, maybeName), // replaces: ApS(personLenses.Name.Set, maybeName)
+    RO.ApSL(personLenses.Age,  maybeAge),
+)
+```
+
+This exact pattern is used in [`samples/builder`](samples/builder/builder.go) to validate and construct a `Person` from an unvalidated `PartialPerson`.
+
+### Lifted Variants for Mixed Monads
+
+`context/readerioresult` provides `Bind*K` helpers that lift simpler computations directly into the do-chain:
+
+| Helper | Lifts |
+|--------|-------|
+| `BindResultK` / `BindEitherK` | `func(S1) (T, error)` — pure result |
+| `BindIOResultK` / `BindIOEitherK` | `func(S1) func() (T, error)` — lazy IO result |
+| `BindIOK` | `func(S1) func() T` — infallible IO |
+| `BindReaderK` | `func(S1) func(ctx) T` — context reader |
+
+```go
+RIO.BindResultK(setUser, func(s Pipeline) (User, error) {
+    return validateAndBuild(s)   // plain (value, error) function, no wrapping needed
+})
+```
+
+### Decision Guide
+
+```
+Does the new step need to read prior accumulated state?
+    YES  →  Bind   (monadic, sequential; f receives current S)
+    NO   →  ApS    (applicative, independent; fa is a fixed M[T])
+
+Is the new value derived purely from state, with no monad?
+    YES  →  Let    (pure function of S)
+
+Is the new value a compile-time or runtime constant?
+    YES  →  LetTo
+
+Starting from an existing M[T] rather than an empty struct?
+    YES  →  BindTo
+```
+
+### Complete Example — `result` Monad
+
+The same pattern works with simpler monads. Here with `result.Result[A]`:
+
+`Eitherize1` converts any standard `func(A) (B, error)` into `func(A) Result[B]`. Define these lifted functions once as variables. Then use lenses to focus on individual struct fields and compose with `F.Flow2(lens.Get, f)` — no inline lambdas, no manual error handling.
+
+```go
+import (
+    R    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/result"
+    F    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    L    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/optics/lens"
+    N    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/number"
+    "strconv"
+)
+
+type Parsed struct {
+    Raw    string
+    Number int
+    Double int
+}
+
+// Lenses — focus on individual fields of Parsed.
+var (
+    rawLens    = L.MakeLens(
+        func(s Parsed) string { return s.Raw },
+        func(s Parsed, v string) Parsed { s.Raw = v; return s },
+    )
+    numberLens = L.MakeLens(
+        func(s Parsed) int { return s.Number },
+        func(s Parsed, v int) Parsed { s.Number = v; return s },
+    )
+    doubleLens = L.MakeLens(
+        func(s Parsed) int { return s.Double },
+        func(s Parsed, v int) Parsed { s.Double = v; return s },
+    )
+)
+
+// Lifted functions — convert standard (value, error) functions into Result-returning ones.
+var (
+    atoi = R.Eitherize1(strconv.Atoi) // func(string) Result[int]
+)
+
+parse := func(input string) R.Result[Parsed] {
+    return F.Pipe3(
+        R.Do(Parsed{}),
+        R.LetTo(rawLens.Set, input),                      // set Raw to constant input
+        R.Bind(numberLens.Set, F.Flow2(rawLens.Get, atoi)),           // get Raw, parse → Result[int]
+        R.Let(doubleLens.Set, F.Flow2(numberLens.Get, N.Mul(2))),   // get Number, multiply → int
+    )
+}
+
+parse("21")  // Ok(Parsed{Raw:"21", Number:21, Double:42})
+parse("abc") // Error(strconv parse error)
+```
+
+`rawLens.Set` is already `func(string) func(Parsed) Parsed`, matching the setter signature `Bind` and `LetTo` expect — no manual setter functions to write. `F.Flow2(rawLens.Get, atoi)` composes the field getter with the eitherized parse function into a `Kleisli[Parsed, int]` without any intermediate lambda.

+## The Effect Package: Higher-Level Abstraction
+
+### What is Effect?
+
+The `effect` package provides a higher-level abstraction over `ReaderReaderIOResult`, offering a complete effect system for managing dependencies, errors, and side effects in a composable way. It's inspired by [effect-ts](https://effect.website/) and provides a cleaner API for complex workflows.
+
+### Core Type
+
+```go
+// Effect represents an effectful computation that:
+//   - Requires a context of type C (dependency injection)
+//   - Can perform I/O operations
+//   - Can fail with an error
+//   - Produces a value of type A on success
+type Effect[C, A any] = readerreaderioresult.ReaderReaderIOResult[C, A]
+```
+
+**Key difference from ReaderIOResult**: Effect adds an additional layer of dependency injection (the `C` type parameter) on top of the runtime `context.Context`, enabling type-safe dependency management.
+
+### When to Use Effect
+
+Use the Effect package when you need:
+
+1. **Type-Safe Dependency Injection**: Your application has typed dependencies (config, services, repositories) that need to be threaded through operations
+2. **Complex Workflows**: Multiple services and dependencies need to be composed
+3. **Testability**: You want to easily mock dependencies by providing different contexts
+4. **Separation of Concerns**: Clear separation between business logic, dependencies, and I/O
+
+### Effect vs ReaderIOResult
+
+```go
+// ReaderIOResult - depends only on runtime context
+type ReaderIOResult[A any] = func(context.Context) (A, error)
+
+// Effect - depends on typed context C AND runtime context
+type Effect[C, A any] = func(C) func(context.Context) (A, error)
+```
+
+**ReaderIOResult** is simpler and suitable when you only need runtime context (cancellation, deadlines, request-scoped values).
+
+**Effect** adds typed dependency injection, making it ideal for applications with complex service dependencies.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+#### Creating Effects
+
+```go
+type AppConfig struct {
+    DatabaseURL string
+    APIKey      string
+}
+
+// Create a successful effect
+successEffect := effect.Succeed[AppConfig, string]("hello")
+
+// Create a failed effect
+failEffect := effect.Fail[AppConfig, string](errors.New("failed"))
+
+// Lift a pure value
+pureEffect := effect.Of[AppConfig, int](42)
+```
+
+#### Integrating Standard Go Functions
+
+The `Eitherize` function makes it easy to integrate standard Go functions that return `(value, error)`:
+
+```go
+type Database struct {
+    conn *sql.DB
+}
+
+// Convert a standard Go function to an Effect using Eitherize
+func fetchUser(id int) effect.Effect[Database, User] {
+    return effect.Eitherize(func(db Database, ctx context.Context) (User, error) {
+        var user User
+        err := db.conn.QueryRowContext(ctx, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", id).Scan(&user)
+        return user, err
+    })
+}
+
+// Use Eitherize1 for Kleisli arrows (functions with an additional parameter)
+fetchUserKleisli := effect.Eitherize1(func(db Database, ctx context.Context, id int) (User, error) {
+    var user User
+    err := db.conn.QueryRowContext(ctx, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", id).Scan(&user)
+    return user, err
+})
+// fetchUserKleisli has type: func(int) Effect[Database, User]
+```
+
+#### Composing Effects
+
+```go
+type Services struct {
+    UserRepo UserRepository
+    EmailSvc EmailService
+}
+
+// Compose multiple effects with typed dependencies
+func processUser(id int, newEmail string) effect.Effect[Services, User] {
+    return F.Pipe3(
+        // Fetch user from repository
+        effect.Eitherize(func(svc Services, ctx context.Context) (User, error) {
+            return svc.UserRepo.GetUser(ctx, id)
+        }),
+        // Validate user (pure function lifted into Effect)
+        effect.ChainEitherK[Services](validateUser),
+        // Update email
+        effect.Chain[Services](func(user User) effect.Effect[Services, User] {
+            return effect.Eitherize(func(svc Services, ctx context.Context) (User, error) {
+                if err := svc.EmailSvc.SendVerification(ctx, newEmail); err != nil {
+                    return User{}, err
+                }
+                return svc.UserRepo.UpdateEmail(ctx, user.ID, newEmail)
+            })
+        }),
+    )
+}
+```
+
+#### Running Effects
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    // Set up typed dependencies once
+    services := Services{
+        UserRepo: &PostgresUserRepo{db: db},
+        EmailSvc: &SMTPEmailService{host: "smtp.example.com"},
+    }
+
+    // Build the effect pipeline (no execution yet)
+    userEffect := processUser(42, "new@email.com")
+
+    // Provide dependencies - returns a Thunk (ReaderIOResult)
+    thunk := effect.Provide(services)(userEffect)
+
+    // Run synchronously - returns a func(context.Context) (User, error)
+    readerResult := effect.RunSync(thunk)
+
+    // Execute with runtime context
+    user, err := readerResult(context.Background())
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+
+    fmt.Printf("Updated user: %+v\n", user)
+}
+```
+
+### Comparison: Traditional vs ReaderIOResult vs Effect
+
+| Aspect | Traditional | ReaderIOResult | Effect |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Error propagation | Manual | Automatic | Automatic |
+| Dependency injection | Function parameters | Closure / `context.Context` | Typed `C` parameter |
+| Testability | Requires mocking | Mock `ReaderIOResult` | Provide mock `C` |
+| Composability | Low | High | High |
+| Type-safe dependencies | No | No | Yes |
+| Complexity | Low | Medium | Medium-High |
+
+### Testing with Effect
+
+One of the key benefits of Effect is easy testing through dependency substitution:
+
+```go
+func TestProcessUser(t *testing.T) {
+    // Create mock services
+    mockServices := Services{
+        UserRepo: &MockUserRepo{
+            users: map[int]User{42: {ID: 42, Age: 25, Email: "old@email.com"}},
+        },
+        EmailSvc: &MockEmailService{},
+    }
+
+    // Run the effect with mock dependencies
+    user, err := effect.RunSync(
+        effect.Provide(mockServices)(processUser(42, "new@email.com")),
+    )(context.Background())
+
+    assert.NoError(t, err)
+    assert.Equal(t, "new@email.com", user.Email)
+}
+```
+
+No database or SMTP server needed — just provide mock implementations of the `Services` struct.

+// Package constant provides the Const functor, a phantom type that ignores its second type parameter.
+//
+// The Const functor is a fundamental building block in functional programming that wraps a value
+// of type E while having a phantom type parameter A. This makes it useful for:
+//   - Accumulating values during traversals (e.g., collecting metadata)
+//   - Implementing optics (lenses, prisms) where you need to track information
+//   - Building applicative functors that combine values using a semigroup
+//
+// # The Const Functor
+//
+// Const[E, A] wraps a value of type E and has a phantom type parameter A that doesn't affect
+// the runtime value. This allows it to participate in functor and applicative operations while
+// maintaining the wrapped value unchanged.
+//
+// # Key Properties
+//
+//   - Map operations ignore the function and preserve the wrapped value
+//   - Ap operations combine wrapped values using a semigroup
+//   - The phantom type A allows type-safe composition with other functors
+//
+// # Example Usage
+//
+//	// Accumulate string values
+//	c1 := Make[string, int]("hello")
+//	c2 := Make[string, int]("world")
+//
+//	// Map doesn't change the wrapped value

+// Package reader provides a specialization of the Reader monad for [context.Context].
+//
+// This package offers a context-aware Reader monad that simplifies working with
+// Go's [context.Context] in a functional programming style. It eliminates the need
+// to explicitly thread context through function calls while maintaining type safety
+// and composability.
+//
+// # Core Concept
+//
+// The Reader monad represents computations that depend on a shared environment.
+// In this package, that environment is fixed to [context.Context], making it
+// particularly useful for:
+//
+//   - Request-scoped data propagation
+//   - Cancellation and timeout handling
+//   - Dependency injection via context values
+//   - Avoiding explicit context parameter threading
+//
+// # Type Definitions
+//
+//   - Reader[A]: A computation that depends on context.Context and produces A
+//   - Kleisli[A, B]: A function from A to Reader[B] for composing computations
+//   - Operator[A, B]: A transformation from Reader[A] to Reader[B]
+//
+// # Usage Pattern
+//
+// Instead of passing context explicitly through every function:
+//
+//	func processUser(ctx context.Context, userID string) (User, error) {
+//	    user := fetchUser(ctx, userID)
+//	    profile := fetchProfile(ctx, user.ProfileID)
+//	    return enrichUser(ctx, user, profile), nil
+//	}
+//
+// You can use Reader to compose context-dependent operations:
+//
+//	fetchUser := func(userID string) Reader[User] {
+//	    return func(ctx context.Context) User {
+//	        // Use ctx for database access, cancellation, etc.
+//	        return queryDatabase(ctx, userID)
+//	    }
+//	}
+//
+//	processUser := func(userID string) Reader[User] {
+//	    return F.Pipe2(
+//	        fetchUser(userID),
+//	        reader.Chain(func(user User) Reader[Profile] {
+//	            return fetchProfile(user.ProfileID)
+//	        }),
+//	        reader.Map(func(profile Profile) User {
+//	            return enrichUser(user, profile)
+//	        }),
+//	    )
+//	}
+//
+//	// Execute with context
+//	ctx := context.Background()
+//	user := processUser("user123")(ctx)
+//
+// # Integration with Standard Library
+//
+// This package works seamlessly with Go's standard [context] package:
+//
+//   - Context cancellation and deadlines are preserved
+//   - Context values can be accessed within Reader computations
+//   - Readers can be composed with context-aware libraries
+//
+// # Relationship to Other Packages
+//
+// This package is a specialization of [github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/reader] where
+// the environment type R is fixed to [context.Context]. For more general
+// Reader operations, see the base reader package.
+//
+// For combining Reader with other monads:
+//   - [github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/context/readerio]: Reader + IO effects
+//   - [github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/readeroption]: Reader + Option
+//   - [github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/readerresult]: Reader + Result (Either)
+//

+//
+//	type RequestContext struct {
+//	    UserID    string
+//	    RequestID string

-// LogEntryExitF creates a customizable operator that wraps a ReaderIOResult computation with entry/exit callbacks.
-//
-// This is a more flexible version of LogEntryExit that allows you to provide custom callbacks for
-// entry and exit events. The onEntry callback receives the current context and can return a modified
-// context (e.g., with additional logging information). The onExit callback receives the computation
-// result and can perform custom logging, metrics collection, or cleanup.
-//
-// The function uses the bracket pattern to ensure that:
-//   - The onEntry callback is executed before the computation starts
-//   - The computation runs with the context returned by onEntry
-//   - The onExit callback is executed after the computation completes (success or failure)
-//   - The original result is preserved and returned unchanged
-//   - Cleanup happens even if the computation fails
-//
-// Type Parameters:
-//   - A: The success type of the ReaderIOResult
-//   - ANY: The return type of the onExit callback (typically any)
-//
-// Parameters:
-//   - onEntry: A ReaderIO that receives the current context and returns a (possibly modified) context.
-//     This is executed before the computation starts. Use this for logging entry, adding context values,
-//     starting timers, or initialization logic.
-//   - onExit: A Kleisli function that receives the Result[A] and returns a ReaderIO[ANY].
-//     This is executed after the computation completes, regardless of success or failure.
-//     Use this for logging exit, recording metrics, cleanup, or finalization logic.

+//
+// This type alias is provided in the monoid package for convenience when working with
+// VoidMonoid and other monoid operations that may use the unit type.
+//
+// Common use cases:
+//   - As a return type for functions that perform side effects but don't return meaningful data
+//   - As a placeholder type parameter when a type is required but no data needs to be passed
+//   - In monoid operations where you need to track that operations occurred without caring about results
+//
+// See also:
+//   - function.Void: The underlying type definition
+//   - function.VOID: The single inhabitant of the Void type
+//   - VoidMonoid: A monoid instance for the Void type
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	// Function that performs an action but returns no meaningful data
+//	func logMessage(msg string) Void {

+// Do creates the initial empty codec to be used as the starting point for

+//
+// This is the entry point for building up a struct codec field-by-field using
+// the applicative and monadic sequencing operators ApSL, ApSO, and Bind.
+// It wraps Empty and lifts a lazily-evaluated default Pair[O, A] into a
+// Type[A, O, I] that ignores its input and always succeeds with the default value.
+//
+// # Type Parameters
+//
+//   - I: The input type for decoding (what the codec reads from)
+//   - A: The target struct type being built up (what the codec decodes to)
+//   - O: The output type for encoding (what the codec writes to)
+//
+// # Parameters
+//
+//   - e: A Lazy[Pair[O, A]] providing the initial default values:
+//   - pair.Head(e()): The default encoded output O (e.g. an empty monoid value)
+//   - pair.Tail(e()): The initial zero value of the struct A (e.g. MyStruct{})
+//
+// # Returns
+//
+//   - A Type[A, O, I] that always decodes to the default A and encodes to the
+//     default O, regardless of input. This is then transformed by chaining
+//     ApSL, ApSO, or Bind operators to add fields one by one.

+// # How It Works
+//
+// 1. **Encoding**: When encoding a value of type S:

+//   - If present (Some(T)): Encode T to O using fa.Encode and combine with base using monoid
+//   - If absent (None): Return only the base encoding unchanged
+//
+// 2. **Validation**: When validating input I:
+//   - Validate the optional field using fa.Validate through o.Set

+//   - Encoding: Evaluates the Kleisli arrow f on the current struct value s to obtain
+//     the field codec, extracts the field T using the lens, encodes it with that codec,
+//     and combines it with the base encoding using the monoid.
+//   - Validation: Validates the base struct first (monadic sequencing), then uses the
+//     Kleisli arrow to obtain the field codec for the decoded struct value, and validates
+//     the field through the lens. Errors are propagated but NOT accumulated (fail-fast
+//     semantics, unlike ApSL which accumulates errors).
+//
+// # Type Parameters
+//
+//   - S: The source struct type (what we're building a codec for)
+//   - T: The field type accessed by the lens
+//   - O: The output type for encoding (must have a monoid)
+//   - I: The input type for decoding
+//
+// # Parameters
+//
+//   - m: A Monoid[O] for combining encoded outputs
+//   - l: A Lens[S, T] that focuses on a specific field in S
+//   - f: A Kleisli[S, T, O, I] — a function from S to Type[T, O, I] — that produces
+//     the field codec based on the current struct value
+//
+// # Returns
+//
+// An Operator[S, S, O, I] that transforms a base codec by adding the field
+// specified by the lens, where the field codec is determined by the Kleisli arrow.
+//
+// # How It Works
+//
+// 1. **Encoding**: When encoding a value of type S:
+//   - Evaluate f(s) to obtain the field codec fa
+//   - Extract the field T using l.Get
+//   - Encode T to O using fa.Encode
+//   - Combine with the base encoding using the monoid
+//
+// 2. **Validation**: When validating input I:
+//   - Run the base validation to obtain a decoded S (fail-fast: stop on base failure)
+//   - For the decoded S, evaluate f(s) to obtain the field codec fa
+//   - Validate the input I using fa.Validate
+//   - Set the validated T into S using l.Set
+//
+// 3. **Type Checking**: Preserves the base type checker
+//
+// # Difference from ApSL
+//
+// Unlike ApSL which uses a fixed field codec:
+//   - ApSL: Field codec is fixed at construction time; errors are accumulated
+//   - Bind: Field codec depends on the current struct value (Kleisli arrow); validation
+//     uses monadic sequencing (fail-fast on base failure)
+//   - Bind is more powerful but less parallel than ApSL
+//

+//
+// # Use Cases
+//
+//   - Building codecs where a field's codec depends on another field's value
+//   - Implementing discriminated unions or tagged variants
+//   - Context-sensitive validation (e.g., validate field B differently based on field A)

+//
+// # Notes
+//
+//   - The monoid determines how encoded outputs are combined
+//   - The lens must be total (handle all cases safely)
+//   - Validation uses monadic (fail-fast) sequencing: if the base codec fails,
+//     the Kleisli arrow is never evaluated

+// This codec is useful for:
+//   - Providing default values for optional fields
+//   - Creating placeholder codecs in generic contexts
+//   - Implementing constant codecs that always produce the same value
+//   - Building codecs for phantom types or unit-like types
+//
+// The codec uses a lazily-evaluated Pair[O, A] to provide both the default output

+// the defaults are only computed when needed.
+//
+// # Type Parameters
+//
+//   - A: The target type (what we decode to and encode from)
+//   - O: The output type (what we encode to)
+//   - I: The input type (what we decode from, but is ignored)
+//
+// # Parameters
+//
+//   - e: A Lazy[Pair[O, A]] that provides the default values:
+//   - pair.Head(e()): The default output value O used during encoding
+//   - pair.Tail(e()): The default decoded value A used during decoding
+//
+// # Returns
+//
+//   - A Type[A, O, I] that:
+//   - Decode: Always succeeds and returns the default value A, ignoring input I
+//   - Encode: Always returns the default output O, ignoring the input value A
+//   - Is: Checks if a value is of type A (standard type checking)

+// # Behavior
+//
+// Decoding:
+//   - Ignores the input value completely

+//   - Returns the default value from pair.Tail(e())
+//
+// Encoding:
+//   - Ignores the input value completely
+//   - Always returns the default output from pair.Head(e())
+//
+// # Example Usage
+//
+// Creating a codec with default values:
+//
+//	// Create a codec that always decodes to 42 and encodes to "default"
+//	defaultCodec := codec.Empty[int, string, any](lazy.Of(pair.MakePair("default", 42)))
+//
