+"""Pipeline orchestration module for W2T-BKIN (Phase 2 - Orchestration Layer).
+
+This module provides the high-level orchestration API that owns Config and Session
+and coordinates all pipeline stages. It translates Session/Config into primitive
+arguments for low-level tools, orchestrates execution order, and collects results
+into structured outputs.
+
+Architecture:
+-------------
+Phase 2 establishes a clear layering:
+- **Orchestration layer** (this module): Owns Config/Session, coordinates stages
+- **Mid-level helpers**: Optional wrappers with _from_session/_from_config suffixes
+- **Low-level tools**: Accept primitives only (paths, dicts, lists, scalars)
+
+This module is the ONLY place where Config/Session flow into the pipeline. All
+downstream modules receive primitives derived from Session/Manifest at this layer.
+
+Key Functions:
+--------------
+- run_session: Complete session processing workflow
+- run_validation: NWB validation using nwbinspector
+
+Result Structure:
+-----------------
+RunResult contains:
+- manifest: File discovery and counts
+- alignment_stats: Timebase alignment quality metrics (if computed)
+- task_recording: Behavioral task recording with ndx-structured-behavior (if Bpod files present)
+- trials_table: Trials table with behavior data (if Bpod files present)
+- facemap_bundle: Facial motion signals (if computed)
+- transcoded_videos: Mezzanine format videos (if transcoding enabled)
+- nwb_path: Path to assembled NWB file (if assembly completes)
+
+Requirements:
+-------------
+- FR-1..17: Coordinate all pipeline stages
+- NFR-1: Deterministic processing with provenance
+- NFR-3: Clear error messages and logging
+- NFR-11: Configuration-driven execution
+
+Example:
+--------
+>>> from pathlib import Path
+>>> from w2t_bkin.pipeline import run_session
+>>>
+>>> # Run complete session processing
+>>> result = run_session(
+...     config_path="config.toml",
+...     session_id="Session-000001",
+...     options={"skip_nwb": False, "skip_validation": False}
+... )
+>>>
+>>> print(f"Manifest: {len(result['manifest'].cameras)} cameras")
+>>> print(f"Alignment: {result['alignment_stats'].max_jitter_s:.6f}s max jitter")
+>>> print(f"NWB: {result['nwb_path']}")
+>>>
+>>> # Validate NWB output
+>>> validation = run_validation(result['nwb_path'])
+>>> print(f"Validation: {validation['status']}")
