streams: source not supported

Error message

streams: source not supported

What it means

Stream construction (New) rejects a source when HasProducer reports no producer available for its scheme — no handler is registered for that URL type. Unlike the handlers.go error, this is the streams-level gate: New validates every source up front and refuses to create the stream if any source cannot be produced.

Solutions

1. Verify each source URL scheme is spelled correctly and is supported
2. Import/register the producer module for that scheme
3. Remove the unsupported source from the New(...) arguments

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at internal/streams/streams.go:56 when the library encounters an invalid state.
