Segment 14

In this sub-session, the assistant resolved a critical production issue where CIDgravity's GBAP API returned no providers by introducing a configurable fallback provider list (`RIBS_DEAL_FALLBACK_PROVIDERS`), which immediately enabled three providers to accept deals for Group 1, and committed the fix as `ba62e5b`. Subsequently, a systematic test coverage initiative was executed, creating a detailed testing plan and implementing 164 new unit tests across eight new test files covering configuration, CIDgravity client, deal repair, fallback parsing, S3 authentication and handlers, wallet management, and HTTP retrieval. Several bugs were discovered and fixed, including duplicate Prometheus metrics registration and a CQL migration issue. All tests pass and were committed as `5344f33`, significantly improving the robustness and reliability of the distributed storage system.
