Description

Test ....
* dweb-mirror#gun. running mirrorHttp
* GUN is enabled in configDefaults.yaml << this appears to work
* Delete /Volumes/*/archiveorg/commute/*json
* browser open http://localhost:4244/arc/archive.org/metadata/commute

Does the domain resolution correctly but then fails:
```
dweb-transports Fetching gun:/gun/arc/archive.org/metadata/commute via GUN failed: GUN unable to retrieve: gun:/gun/arc/archive.org/metadata/commute +9s
dweb-transports Fetching https://dweb.archive.org/metadata/commute via HTTP +0ms
```

Research direction

Start with the mirrorHttp reproduction in configDefaults.yaml: enable GUN, remove the commute JSON files, and request the metadata URL shown in the issue. Trace the GUN fetch failure and HTTP fallback in the reported dweb-transports path; done means the archive.org metadata request retrieves successfully through GUN.
