# CLAUDE.md — Agent Instructions

## Project overview
Go 1.25 template for PoC, hobby projects, and small publishable packages.
Demonstrates: structured logging (slog), config (flag), consumer-defined interfaces + manual fakes,
result type (happy-path error handling), linting (golangci-lint), security scanning (gosec, govulncheck),
git hooks, devcontainer, VSCode tasks.
Key constraint: `go.mod` stays free of dev tool deps (tools are pinned in `tools.versions` and run via
`go run tool@version`) so packages published from this repo have a clean module graph for consumers.
Module: `gitea.djmil.dev/go/template` — update this when you fork.
---
## Project structure
```
cmd/app/main.go composition root — wires deps, no logic here
internal/config/ flag-based config loader (config.Load)
internal/logger/ slog wrapper with WithField / WithFields
internal/greeter/ Example domain package (delete or repurpose)
pkg/result/ Example publishable package (Result/Expect types)
tools.versions Pinned tool versions (sourced by Makefile and pre-push hook)
.golangci.yml Linter rules
.githooks/pre-push Runs gofmt + go vet + golangci-lint + gosec before push
```
---
## Project rules
- **Module imports** — always use the full module path `gitea.djmil.dev/go/template/...`
- **Packages** — keep `cmd/` thin (wiring only); business logic belongs in `internal/`
- **Types** — expose concrete types from constructors (`New(...) *Type`); never wrap in an interface at the implementation site. Consumers define their own interfaces if they need one (Go's implicit satisfaction makes this free)
- **Errors** — `pkg/result` is the default error-handling mechanism for all code in this repo, including public APIs:
- functions return `result.Expect[T]` instead of `(T, error)`
- callers unwrap with `.Expect("context")` (panics with annotated error + stack trace) or `.Must()` (panics with raw error)
- top-level entry points (e.g. `cmd/` functions, HTTP handlers) defer `result.Catch(&err)` to convert any result panic into a normal Go error; genuine runtime panics (nil-deref, etc.) are re-panicked
- bridge existing `(T, error)` stdlib/third-party calls with `result.Of(...)`: `result.Of(os.ReadFile("cfg.json")).Expect("read config")`
- use `result.StackTrace(err)` to retrieve the capture-site stack from a caught error
- still use `fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)` when wrapping errors *before* constructing a `result.Fail`
- **Logging** — use `log.WithField("key", val)` for structured context; never `fmt.Sprintf` in log messages; `log/slog` is the backend
- **Config** — all configuration through `internal/config` (flag-parsed); no hard-coded values in logic packages
---
## Code style
- Follow `gofmt` + `goimports` formatting (enforced by linter and git hook)
- Imports: stdlib → blank line → external → blank line → internal (goimports handles this)
- Error variables: `err` for local, `ErrFoo` for package-level sentinels
- Constructors: `New(deps...) *Type` pattern
- Comment every exported symbol (golangci-lint will warn if missing)
- Max line length: 120 chars (configured in `.golangci.yml`)
- Prefer explicit over clever; PoC code should be readable first
---
## Testing rules
- Tests use only the standard `testing` package — no third-party assertion libraries
- Test files: `package foo_test` (black-box) unless white-box access is needed
- Fake dependencies with **manual fakes** (implement the interface inline in `_test.go`)
- Use `logger.NewNop()` when the test doesn't care about log output
- Table-driven tests with `t.Run("description", ...)` for multiple cases
- The race detector is enabled in CI (`make test-race`); don't introduce data races
- Never use `time.Sleep` in tests; use channels or `t.Cleanup`

## Development commands
```bash
make init # first-time setup: fetch deps, configure git hooks
make tools # install tool binaries to GOPATH/bin (versions from tools.versions)
make build # compile to ./bin/app
make run # go run with default flags
make test # run all tests
make test-race # tests + race detector
make lint # go vet + golangci-lint
make lint-fix # go fix + golangci-lint auto-fix
make security # gosec + govulncheck
make release # list releases, or tag+push after full checks (make release VERSION=v0.1.0)
make clean # remove bin/
```
VSCode: `Ctrl+Shift+B` = build, `Ctrl+Shift+T` = test.
Debug: use launch config "Debug: app" (F5).

## Adding new features (checklist)
1. Write the implementation in `internal/<domain>/` — return a concrete `*Type`, no interface at the implementation site
2. In the *consumer* package (or `_test.go`), declare a minimal interface covering only the methods you call
3. Write unit tests using a manual fake that satisfies that interface
4. Wire the concrete type in `cmd/app/main.go`
5. Run `make lint test` before committing
---
## Known pitfalls
- `govulncheck` makes network calls; excluded from pre-push hook (run manually)
- Tool versions live in `tools.versions` — edit that file to upgrade, both Makefile and hook pick it up
- `go run tool@version` is used in lint/security targets; Go caches downloads so subsequent runs are fast
- `make tools` installs binaries to `GOPATH/bin` for IDE integration (e.g. dlv for the debugger)
- `go fix` rewrites source files; run `make lint-fix` before committing after a Go version bump

## Recent work
<!-- Agent: append a dated bullet when completing a significant chunk of work.
Keep this section to ~10 entries; remove stale items.
Format: YYYY-MM-DD — what was done and why. -->
- 2026-03-29 — Stripped to stdlib-only: removed testify/mockery→manual fakes, zap→slog, viper→flag.
- 2026-03-29 — Pre-commit hook moved to pre-push; go vet + go fix added to lint pipeline.
- 2026-03-29 — Fixed stale docs and .golangci.yml local-prefixes; .vscode launch configs use CLI flags.
- 2026-04-01 — Replaced tools.go/go.mod pinning with tools.versions + go run tool@version; go.mod is now free of dev tool deps.
- 2026-04-01 — Added make release: lists tags with no args; validates semver, runs test-race+lint+security, then tags+pushes.
