 The base install pulls **nothing** (stdlib). Only `commons[addr]` adds `aiohttp`, and
 only for the geo lookups — the pure `commons.addr.ip` utilities ship in base.

 ## paths
 
+Two pairs of verbs: **single-path** (scalar in/out) and **wildcard** (bulk, always a list).
+
+### single-path — `deep_get` / `deep_set`
+
 ```python
 from commons import deep_get, deep_set
 
 data = {"in": {"this": {"old": {"notation": 42}}}, "items": [{"id": "a"}, {"id": "b"}]}
 
 deep_get(data, "in.this.old.notation")   # 42
-deep_get(data, "items.1.id")             # "b"  (numeric segment indexes a list)
+deep_get(data, "items.1.id")             # "b"  (numeric segment indexes a list/tuple)
 deep_get(data, "in.nope.here", "DEF")    # "DEF" (missing -> default, no raise)
 
 deep_set({}, "a.b.c", 9)                 # {"a": {"b": {"c": 9}}}
+deep_set(data, "items.1.id", "B")        # updates the list element in place
+deep_get(data, "items.1.id")             # "B"  (get/set share the same grammar)
+deep_set(data, "items.9.id", "X")        # raises IndexError (out of range, no
+                                          # silent mis-store)
 ```
 
+`deep_get` steps into both lists and tuples on a numeric segment. `deep_set` updates a
+**list** element in place; setting into (or through) a **tuple** raises `TypeError` —
+tuples are immutable, so "update in place" is impossible; flatten to a list first. An
+out-of-range numeric segment raises `IndexError` instead of silently corrupting the
+structure.
+
+### wildcard — `deep_gets` / `deep_sets`
+
+A `*` segment iterates every element at that level (dict values or list/tuple items);
+multiple `*` fan out cartesian. These are **separate verbs** with a fixed list/bulk
+return type — a `*` passed to `deep_get`/`deep_set` raises `ValueError` (use the plural
+verb).
+
+```python
+from commons import deep_gets, deep_sets
+
+data = {"users": [{"username": "al"}, {"username": "bo"}, {"username": "cy"}]}
+
+deep_gets(data, "users.*.username")      # ["al", "bo", "cy"]  (ALWAYS a list, in order)
+deep_gets(data, "users.*.nope")          # []  (no match -> empty list, no raise)
+
+deep_sets(data, "users.*.username", "X")            # set every match to "X"
+deep_sets(data, "users.*.username", str.upper)      # callable fn(current)->new per match
+```
+
+`deep_sets`'s second arg is either a plain value (write it to every match) or a callable
+`fn(current) -> new` (compute each). It writes only matches that already exist (it does
+not create missing keys). Setting through/into a tuple raises `TypeError`.
+
 ## masking
 
 Display helpers only — they format a value for showing; they are **not a security
 control** (the underlying value is unchanged and still needs proper handling).
 
 ```python
-from commons import credit, cvv, phantom, provider
+from commons import credit, cvv, phantom, provider, mask_url, mask_proxy, stable_id
 
 credit("4111 1111 1111 1234")   # "•••• •••• •••• 1234"
 cvv("123")                       # "•••"
 phantom("abcdef1234567890")      # "abcdef...7890"
+phantom("1234567890")            # "••••••••••"  (len <= 10 fully masks, never a false reveal)
 provider("4111111111111111")     # "VISA"  (VISA/MC/AMEX/UPAY/DISC/JCB/DNRS/UNKW)
+provider("4111²111111111234")    # "VISA"  (unicode digit lookalikes ignored, never raises)
+
+# strip query + fragment off a url before logging it
+mask_url("https://u:pw@api.x/v2?apiKey=SECRET&ip=8.8.8.8")  # -> "https://u:pw@api.x/v2"
+mask_url("https://api.x/v2")                                # -> "https://api.x/v2"  (unchanged)
+
+# partial, user-reportable proxy id: creds stripped, ipv4 middle octets masked
+mask_proxy("172.58.32.1:8080")                 # -> "172.***.***.1:8080"
+mask_proxy("user:supersecret@172.58.32.1:8080")  # -> "172.***.***.1:8080"  (creds gone)
+mask_proxy("proxy.host.net:8080")              # -> "proxy.host.net:8080"  (hostname untouched)
+
+# deterministic, regenerable id from ordered parts
+stable_id("profit_lounge", "user_123")         # -> "d1f4…"  (same 16 hex chars every call)
 ```
 
+`mask_url` drops the query and fragment, keeping scheme/host/path. It does **not** parse
+or hunt for sensitive params — a secret in a URL is the caller's bug, not this function's
+to detect — so it structurally cannot leak a query param and cannot over-mask a legit one.
+A URL with no query/fragment is returned unchanged. (Note: `user:pass@` userinfo is part of
+the authority and is **not** stripped; keep credentials out of the URL you log.)
+
+`mask_proxy` yields a partial identifier a user can safely report for debugging. Any
+`user:pass@` userinfo (or a `scheme://` prefix) is dropped entirely, then an IPv4 host
+`A.B.C.D` is masked to `A.***.***.D` with the port kept in full; a non-IPv4 host (hostname
+or IPv6) passes through unchanged with only its credentials stripped. A spec with no
+parseable host raises `ValueError`.
+
+`stable_id` derives a fixed-length hex id from ordered string parts via SHA-256 — same
+inputs always produce the same id, no state, so it's regenerable anywhere. Parts join with
+a `\x00` separator so `("ab","c")` and `("a","bc")` differ; an empty or non-str part, or a
+non-positive `length`, raises `ValueError`.
