Code Review
This pull request adds a comprehensive documentation walkthrough (open_object_walkthrough.md) for the Storage::open_object bidirectional streaming RPC in the google-cloud-storage crate. The document details the architectural mental model, call graphs, linear execution traces, channel multiplexing, and the client-side resilience machinery such as redirects and reconnects. As there are no review comments associated with this pull request, I have no further feedback to provide.

gRPC streams halves are not "sent over the network".... If anything, they send and receive messages to and from the network.

| Because every dial is completely self-contained, any backend can serve any | ||

Personally, I cannot stand the sycophantic verbiage produced by LLMs 🤷 The comment ("... holding a copy prevents ...") gives you all the information you need.
