+### lyng.io.fs — async filesystem access for Lyng scripts
+
+This module provides a uniform, suspend-first filesystem API to Lyng scripts, backed by Kotlin Multiplatform implementations.
+
+- JVM/Android/Native: Okio `FileSystem.SYSTEM` (non-blocking via coroutine dispatcher)
+- JS/Node: Node filesystem (currently via Okio node backend; a native `fs/promises` backend is planned)
+- JS/Browser and Wasm: in-memory virtual filesystem for now
+
+It exposes a Lyng class `Path` with methods for file and directory operations, including streaming readers for large files.
+
+---
+
+#### Add the library to your project (Gradle)
+
+If you use this repository as a multi-module project, add a dependency on `:lyngio`:
+
+```kotlin
+dependencies {
+    implementation(project(":lyngio"))
+}
+```
+
+If you consume it as a published artifact (group and version may vary):
+
+```kotlin
+dependencies {
+    implementation("net.sergeych:lyngio:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
+}
+```
+
+This brings in:
+- `:lynglib` (Lyng engine)
+- Okio (`okio`, `okio-fakefilesystem`, and `okio-nodefilesystem` for JS)
+- Kotlin coroutines
+
+---
+
+#### Install the module into a Lyng Scope
+
+The filesystem module is not installed automatically. You must explicitly register it in the scope’s `ImportManager` using the installer. You can customize access control via `FsAccessPolicy`.
+
+Kotlin (host) bootstrap example (imports omitted for brevity):
+
+```kotlin
+val scope: Scope = Scope.new()
+val installed: Boolean = createFs(PermitAllAccessPolicy, scope)
+// installed == true on first registration in this ImportManager, false on repeats
+
+// In scripts (or via scope.eval), import the module to use its symbols:
+scope.eval("import lyng.io.fs")
+```
+
+You can install with a custom policy too (see Access policy below).
+
+---
+
+#### Using from Lyng scripts
+
+```lyng
+val p = Path("/tmp/hello.txt")
+
+// Text I/O
+p.writeUtf8("Hello Lyng!\n")
+println(p.readUtf8())
+
+// Binary I/O
+val data = Buffer.fromHex("deadbeef")
+p.writeBytes(data)
+
+// Existence and directories
+assertTrue(p.exists())
+Path("/tmp/work").mkdirs()
+
+// Listing
+for (entry in Path("/tmp").list()) {
+    println(entry)
+}
+
+// Globbing
+val txts = Path("/tmp").glob("**/*.txt").toList()
+
+// Copy / Move / Delete
+Path("/tmp/a.txt").copy("/tmp/b.txt", overwrite=true)
+Path("/tmp/b.txt").move("/tmp/c.txt", overwrite=true)
+Path("/tmp/c.txt").delete()
+
+// Streaming large files (does not load whole file into memory)
+var bytes = 0
+val it = Path("/tmp/big.bin").readChunks(1_048_576) // 1MB chunks
+val iter = it.iterator()
+while (iter.hasNext()) {
+    val chunk = iter.next()
+    bytes = bytes + chunk.size()
+}
+
+// Text chunks and lines
+for (s in Path("/tmp/big.txt").readUtf8Chunks(64_000)) {
+    // process each string chunk
+}
+
+for (ln in Path("/tmp/big.txt").lines()) {
+    // process line by line
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+#### API (Lyng class `Path`)
+
+Constructor:
+- `Path(path: String)` — creates a Path object
+- `Paths(path: String)` — alias
+
+File and directory operations (all suspend under the hood):
+- `name`: name, `String`
+- `segments`: list of parsed path segments (directories)
+- `parent`: parent directory, `Path?`; null if root
+- `exists(): Bool`
+- `isFile(): Bool` — true if the path points to a regular file (cached metadata)
+- `isDirectory(): Bool` — true if the path points to a directory (cached metadata)
+- `size(): Int?` — size in bytes or null if unknown (cached metadata)
+- `createdAt(): Instant?` — creation time as Lyng `Instant`, or null (cached metadata)
+- `createdAtMillis(): Int?` — creation time in epoch milliseconds, or null (cached metadata)
+- `modifiedAt(): Instant?` — last modification time as Lyng `Instant`, or null (cached metadata)
+- `modifiedAtMillis(): Int?` — last modification time in epoch milliseconds, or null (cached metadata)
+- `list(): List<Path>` — children of a directory
+- `readBytes(): Buffer`
+- `writeBytes(bytes: Buffer)`
+- `appendBytes(bytes: Buffer)`
+- `readUtf8(): String`
+- `writeUtf8(text: String)`
+- `appendUtf8(text: String)`
+- `metadata(): Map` — keys: `isFile`, `isDirectory`, `size`, `createdAtMillis`, `modifiedAtMillis`, `isSymlink`
+- `mkdirs(mustCreate: Bool = false)`
+- `move(to: Path|String, overwrite: Bool = false)`
+- `delete(mustExist: Bool = false, recursively: Bool = false)`
+- `copy(to: Path|String, overwrite: Bool = false)`
+- `glob(pattern: String): List<Path>` — supports `**`, `*`, `?` (POSIX-style)
+
+Streaming readers for big files:
+- `readChunks(size: Int = 65536): Iterator<Buffer>` — iterate fixed-size byte chunks
+- `readUtf8Chunks(size: Int = 65536): Iterator<String>` — iterate text chunks by character count
+- `lines(): Iterator<String>` — line iterator built on `readUtf8Chunks`
+
+Notes:
+- Iterators implement Lyng iterator protocol. If you break early from a loop, the runtime will attempt to call `cancelIteration()` when available.
+- Current implementations chunk in memory. The public API is stable; internals will evolve to true streaming on all platforms.
+- Attribute accessors (`isFile`, `isDirectory`, `size`, `createdAt*`, `modifiedAt*`) cache a metadata snapshot inside the `Path` instance to avoid repeated filesystem calls during a sequence of queries. `metadata()` remains available for bulk access.
+
+---
+
+#### Access policy (security)
+
+Access control is enforced by `FsAccessPolicy`. You pass a policy at installation time. The module wraps the filesystem with a secured decorator that consults the policy for each primitive operation.
+
+Main types:
+- `FsAccessPolicy` — your policy implementation
+- `PermitAllAccessPolicy` — allows all operations (default for testing)
+- `AccessOp` (sealed) — operations the policy can decide on:
+  - `ListDir(path)`
+  - `CreateFile(path)`
+  - `OpenRead(path)`
+  - `OpenWrite(path)`
+  - `OpenAppend(path)`
+  - `Delete(path)`
+  - `Rename(from, to)`
+  - `UpdateAttributes(path)` — defaults to write-level semantics
+
+Minimal denying policy example (imports omitted for brevity):
+
+```kotlin
+val denyWrites = object : FsAccessPolicy {
+    override suspend fun check(op: AccessOp, ctx: AccessContext): AccessDecision = when (op) {
+        is AccessOp.OpenRead, is AccessOp.ListDir -> AccessDecision(Decision.Allow)
+        else -> AccessDecision(Decision.Deny, reason = "read-only policy")
+    }
+}
+
+createFs(denyWrites, scope)
+scope.eval("import lyng.io.fs")
+```
+
+Composite operations like `copy` and `move` are checked as a set of primitives (e.g., `OpenRead(src)` + `Delete(dst)` if overwriting + `CreateFile(dst)` + `OpenWrite(dst)`).
+
+---
+
+#### Errors and exceptions
+
+Policy denials are surfaced as Lyng runtime errors, not raw Kotlin exceptions:
+- Internally, a denial throws `AccessDeniedException`. The module maps it to `ObjIllegalOperationException` wrapped into an `ExecutionError` visible to scripts.
+
+Examples (Lyng):
+
+```lyng
+import lyng.io.fs
+val p = Path("/protected/file.txt")
+try {
+    p.writeUtf8("x")
+    fail("expected error")
+} catch (e) {
+    // e is an ExecutionError; message contains the policy reason
+}
+```
+
+Other I/O failures (e.g., not found, not a directory) are also raised as Lyng errors (`ObjIllegalStateException`, `ObjIllegalArgumentException`, etc.) depending on context.
+
+---
+
+#### Platform notes
+
+- JVM/Android/Native: synchronous Okio calls are executed on `Dispatchers.IO` (JVM/Android) or `Dispatchers.Default` (Native) to avoid blocking the main thread.
+- NodeJS: currently uses Okio’s Node backend. For heavy I/O, a native `fs/promises` backend is planned to fully avoid event-loop blocking.
+- Browser/Wasm: uses an in-memory filesystem for now. Persistent backends (IndexedDB or File System Access API) are planned.
+
+---
+
+#### Roadmap
+
+- Native NodeJS backend using `fs/promises`
+- Browser persistent storage (IndexedDB)
+- Streaming readers/writers over real OS streams
+- Attribute setters and richer metadata
+
+If you have specific needs (e.g., sandboxing, virtual roots), implement a custom `FsAccessPolicy` or ask us to add a helper.
