+## 2025-11-24 - 5.0.2 - fix(DockerContainer)
+Fix getContainerById to return undefined for non-existent containers
+
+- Prevented creation of an invalid DockerContainer from Docker API error responses when a container does not exist.
+- Changed DockerContainer._fromId to use the list+find pattern and return Promise<DockerContainer | undefined>.
+- Updated DockerHost.getContainerById to return Promise<DockerContainer | undefined> for type safety and consistent behavior.
+- Added tests to verify undefined is returned for non-existent container IDs and that valid IDs return DockerContainer instances.
+- Bumped package version to 5.0.1 and updated changelog and readme hints to document the fix.
+
+## 2025-11-24 - 5.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(DockerHost)
+Rename array-returning get* methods to list* on DockerHost and related resource classes; update docs, tests and changelog
+
+- Renamed public DockerHost methods: getContainers → listContainers, getNetworks → listNetworks, getServices → listServices, getImages → listImages, getSecrets → listSecrets.
+- Renamed DockerNetwork.getContainersOnNetwork → DockerNetwork.listContainersOnNetwork and updated usages (e.g. getContainersOnNetworkForService).
+- Updated internal/static method docs/comments to recommend dockerHost.list*() usage and adjusted implementations accordingly.
+- Updated README, readme.hints.md, tests (test.nonci.node+deno.ts) and changelog to reflect the new list* method names.
+- Bumped package version to 4.0.0.
+- Migration note: replace calls to get*() with list*() for methods that return multiple items (arrays). Single-item getters such as getContainerById or getNetworkByName remain unchanged.
+
+## 2025-11-24 - 5.0.1 - fix(DockerContainer)
+Fix getContainerById() to return undefined instead of invalid container object when container doesn't exist
+
+**Bug Fixed:**
+- `getContainerById()` was creating a DockerContainer object from error responses when a container didn't exist
+- The error object `{ message: "No such container: ..." }` was being passed to the constructor
+- Calling `.logs()` on this invalid container returned "[object Object]" instead of logs
+
+**Solution:**
+- Changed `DockerContainer._fromId()` to use the list+filter pattern (consistent with all other resource getters)
+- Now returns `undefined` when container is not found (matches DockerImage, DockerNetwork, DockerService, DockerSecret behavior)
+- Updated return type to `Promise<DockerContainer | undefined>` for type safety
+- Added tests to verify undefined is returned for non-existent containers
+
+**Migration:**
+No breaking changes - users should already be checking for undefined/null based on TypeScript types and documentation.
+
+## 2025-11-24 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE: Rename list methods for consistency
+
+**Breaking Changes:**
+- Renamed all "get*" methods that return arrays to "list*" methods for better clarity:
+  - `getContainers()` → `listContainers()`
+  - `getNetworks()` → `listNetworks()`
+  - `getServices()` → `listServices()`
+  - `getImages()` → `listImages()`
+  - `getSecrets()` → `listSecrets()`
+  - `getContainersOnNetwork()` → `listContainersOnNetwork()` (on DockerNetwork class)
+
+**Migration Guide:**
+Update all method calls from `get*()` to `list*()` where the method returns an array of resources. Single-item getters like `getContainerById()`, `getNetworkByName()`, etc. remain unchanged.
+
+**Rationale:**
+The `list*` naming convention more clearly indicates that these methods return multiple items (arrays), while `get*` methods are reserved for retrieving single items by ID or name. This follows standard API design patterns and improves code readability.
+
+## 2025-11-24 - 3.0.2 - fix(readme)
+Update README to document 3.0.0+ changes: architecture refactor, streaming improvements, health check and circular dependency fixes
+
+- Documented major refactor to a Clean OOP / Facade pattern with DockerHost as the single entry point
+- Added/clarified real-time container streaming APIs: streamLogs(), attach(), exec()
+- Clarified support for flexible descriptors (accept both string references and class instances)
+- Documented complete container lifecycle API (start, stop, remove, logs, inspect, stats)
+- Documented new ping() health check method to verify Docker daemon availability
+- Noted fix for circular dependency issues in Node.js by using type-only imports
+- Mentioned improved TypeScript definitions and expanded examples, migration guides, and real-world use cases
+
+## 2025-11-24 - 3.0.1 - fix(classes.base)
+Use type-only import for DockerHost in classes.base to avoid runtime side-effects
+
+- Changed the import in ts/classes.base.ts to a type-only import: import type { DockerHost } from './classes.host.js';
+- Prevents a runtime import of classes.host when only the type is needed, reducing risk of circular dependencies and unintended side-effects during module initialization.
+- No behavior changes to the public API — TypeScript-only change; intended to improve bundling and runtime stability.
+
+## 2025-11-24 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(DockerHost)
+Refactor public API to DockerHost facade; introduce DockerResource base; make resource static methods internal; support flexible descriptors and stream compatibility
+
+- Refactored architecture: DockerHost is now the single public entry point (Facade) for all operations; direct static calls like DockerImage.createFromRegistry(...) are now internal and replaced by DockerHost.createImageFromRegistry(...) and similar factory methods.
+- Introduced DockerResource abstract base class used by all resource classes (DockerContainer, DockerImage, DockerNetwork, DockerSecret, DockerService) with a required refresh() method and standardized dockerHost property.
+- Static methods on resource classes were renamed / scoped as internal (prefixed with _): _list, _fromName/_fromId, _create, _createFromRegistry, _createFromTarStream, _build, etc. Consumers should call DockerHost methods instead.
+- Creation descriptor interfaces (container, service, etc.) now accept either string identifiers or resource instances (e.g. image: string | DockerImage, networks: (string | DockerNetwork)[], secrets: (string | DockerSecret)[]). DockerHost resolves instances internally.
+- DockerImageStore imageStore has been made private on DockerHost; new public methods DockerHost.storeImage(name, stream) and DockerHost.retrieveImage(name) provide access to the image store.
+- Streaming compatibility: updated requestStreaming to convert web ReadableStreams (smartrequest v5+) to Node.js streams via smartstream.nodewebhelpers, preserving backward compatibility for existing streaming APIs (container logs, attach, exec, image import/export, events).
+- Container enhancements: added full lifecycle and streaming/interactive APIs on DockerContainer: refresh(), inspect(), start(), stop(), remove(), logs(), stats(), streamLogs(), attach(), exec().
+- Service creation updated: resolves image/network/secret descriptors (strings or instances); adds labels.version from image; improved resource handling and port/secret/network resolution.
+- Network and Secret classes updated to extend DockerResource and to expose refresh(), remove() and lookup methods via DockerHost (createNetwork/listNetworks/getNetworkByName, createSecret/listSecrets/getSecretByName/getSecretById).
+- Tests and docs updated: migration guide and examples added (readme.hints.md, README); test timeout reduced from 600s to 300s in package.json.
+- BREAKING: Public API changes require consumers to migrate away from direct resource static calls and direct imageStore access to the new DockerHost-based factory methods and storeImage/retrieveImage APIs.
+
+## 2025-11-18 - 2.1.0 - feat(DockerHost)
+Add DockerHost.ping() to check Docker daemon availability and document health-check usage
+
+- Add DockerHost.ping() method that issues a GET to /_ping and throws an error if the response status is not 200
+- Update README: show ping() in Quick Start, add health check examples (isDockerHealthy, waitForDocker) and mention Health Checks in Key Concepts
+
+## 2025-11-18 - 2.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(DockerHost)
+Rename DockerHost constructor option 'dockerSockPath' to 'socketPath' and update internal socket path handling
+
+- Breaking: constructor option renamed from 'dockerSockPath' to 'socketPath' — callers must update their code.
+- Constructor now reads the provided 'socketPath' option first, then falls back to DOCKER_HOST, CI, and finally the default unix socket.
+- README examples and documentation updated to use 'socketPath'.
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 1.3.6 - fix(streaming)
+Convert smartrequest v5 web ReadableStreams to Node.js streams and update deps for streaming compatibility
+
+- Upgrade @push.rocks/smartrequest to ^5.0.1 and bump @git.zone dev tooling (@git.zone/tsbuild, tsrun, tstest).
+- requestStreaming now uses response.stream() (web ReadableStream) and converts it to a Node.js Readable via plugins.smartstream.nodewebhelpers.convertWebReadableToNodeReadable for backward compatibility.
+- Updated consumers of streaming responses (DockerHost.getEventObservable, DockerImage.createFromTarStream, DockerImage.exportToTarStream) to work with the converted Node.js stream and preserve event/backpressure semantics (.on, .pause, .resume).
+- Added readme.hints.md documenting the smartrequest v5 migration, conversion approach, modified files, and test/build status (type errors resolved and Node.js tests passing).
+- Removed project metadata file (.serena/project.yml) from the repository.
+
+## 2025-08-19 - 1.3.5 - fix(core)
+Stabilize CI/workflows and runtime: update CI images/metadata, improve streaming requests and image handling, and fix tests & package metadata
+
+- Update CI workflows and images: switch workflow IMAGE to code.foss.global/host.today/ht-docker-node:npmci, fix NPMCI_COMPUTED_REPOURL placeholders, and replace @shipzone/npmci with @ship.zone/npmci in workflows
+- Update npmextra.json gitzone metadata (githost -> code.foss.global, gitscope -> apiclient.xyz, npmPackagename -> @apiclient.xyz/docker) and npmdocker.baseImage -> host.today/ht-docker-node:npmci
+- Adjust package.json repository/bugs/homepage to code.foss.global, add pnpm overrides entry and normalize package metadata
+- Improve DockerHost streaming and request handling: reduce requestStreaming timeout to 30s, enable autoDrain for streaming requests, improve response parsing for streaming vs JSON endpoints to avoid hangs
+- Enhance DockerImage and DockerImageStore stream handling and tar processing: more robust import/export parsing, safer stream-to-file writes, repackaging steps, and error handling
+- Unskip and update tests: re-enable DockerImageStore integration test, change stored image name to 'hello2', add formatting fixes and ensure cleanup stops the test DockerHost
+- Miscellaneous code and docs cleanup: numerous formatting fixes and trailing-comma normalization across README and TS sources, update commitinfo and logger newline fixes, and add local tool ignores (.claude/.serena) to .gitignore
+
+## 2025-08-19 - 1.3.4 - fix(test)
+
+Increase test timeout, enable DockerImageStore test, update test image name, bump smartrequest patch, and add local claude settings
+
+- Increase tstest timeout from 120s to 600s in package.json to accommodate longer-running integration tests.
+- Unskip the DockerImageStore integration test and change stored image name from 'hello' to 'hello2' in test/test.nonci.node.ts.
+- Bump dependency @push.rocks/smartrequest from ^4.3.0 to ^4.3.1.
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json to allow local agent permissions for running tests and related tooling.
+
+## 2025-08-19 - 1.3.3 - fix(classes.host)
+
+Adjust requestStreaming timeout and autoDrain; stabilize tests
+
+- Reduced requestStreaming timeout from 10 minutes to 30 seconds to avoid long-running hanging requests.
+- Enabled autoDrain for streaming requests to ensure response streams are properly drained and reduce resource issues.
+- Marked the DockerImageStore S3 integration test as skipped to avoid CI dependence on external S3 and added a cleanup test to stop the test DockerHost.
+- Added local tool settings file (.claude/settings.local.json) with local permissions (development-only).
+
+## 2025-08-18 - 1.3.2 - fix(package.json)
+
+Fix test script timeout typo, update dependency versions, and add typings & project configs
+
+- Fix test script: correct 'tineout' -> 'timeout' for npm test command and set timeout to 120s
+- Add 'typings': 'dist_ts/index.d.ts' to package.json
+- Bump dependencies to newer compatible versions (notable packages: @push.rocks/lik, @push.rocks/smartarchive, @push.rocks/smartbucket, @push.rocks/smartfile, @push.rocks/smartlog, @push.rocks/smartpromise, @push.rocks/smartstream, rxjs)
+- Add project/config files: .serena/project.yml and .claude/settings.local.json (editor/CI metadata)
+- Include generated cache/metadata files (typescript document symbols cache) — not source changes but tooling/cache artifacts
+
+## 2025-08-18 - 1.3.1 - fix(test)
+
+Update test setup and devDependencies; adjust test import and add package metadata
+
+- Update test script to run with additional flags: --verbose, --logfile and --tineout 120
+- Bump devDependencies: @git.zone/tsbuild -> ^2.6.7, @git.zone/tsrun -> ^1.3.3, @git.zone/tstest -> ^2.3.5, @push.rocks/qenv -> ^6.1.3

+# Docker Module - Development Hints
+
+## getContainerById() Bug Fix (2025-11-24 - v5.0.1)
+
+### Problem
+The `getContainerById()` method had a critical bug where it would create a DockerContainer object from Docker API error responses when a container didn't exist.
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Calling `docker.getContainerById('invalid-id')` returned a DockerContainer object with `{ message: "No such container: invalid-id" }`
+- Calling `.logs()` on this invalid container returned "[object Object]" instead of logs or throwing an error
+- No way to detect the error state without checking for a `.message` property
+
+**Root Cause:**
+The `DockerContainer._fromId()` method made a direct API call to `/containers/{id}/json` and blindly passed `response.body` to the constructor, even when the API returned a 404 error response.
+
+### Solution
+Changed `DockerContainer._fromId()` to use the **list+filter pattern**, matching the behavior of all other resource getter methods (DockerImage, DockerNetwork, DockerService, DockerSecret):
+
+```typescript
+// Before (buggy):
+public static async _fromId(dockerHostArg: DockerHost, containerId: string): Promise<DockerContainer> {
+  const response = await dockerHostArg.request('GET', `/containers/${containerId}/json`);
+  return new DockerContainer(dockerHostArg, response.body); // Creates invalid object from error!
+}
+
+// After (fixed):
+public static async _fromId(dockerHostArg: DockerHost, containerId: string): Promise<DockerContainer | undefined> {
+  const containers = await this._list(dockerHostArg);
+  return containers.find((container) => container.Id === containerId); // Returns undefined if not found
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- 100% consistent with all other resource classes
+- Type-safe return signature: `Promise<DockerContainer | undefined>`
+- Cannot create invalid objects - `.find()` naturally returns undefined
+- Users can now properly check for non-existent containers
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+const container = await docker.getContainerById('abc123');
+if (container) {
+  const logs = await container.logs();
+  console.log(logs);
+} else {
+  console.log('Container not found');
+}
+```
+
+## OOP Refactoring - Clean Architecture (2025-11-24)
+
+### Architecture Changes
+The module has been restructured to follow a clean OOP Facade pattern:
+- **DockerHost** is now the single entry point for all Docker operations
+- All resource classes extend abstract `DockerResource` base class
+- Static methods are prefixed with `_` to indicate internal use
+- Public API is exclusively through DockerHost methods
+
+### Key Changes
+
+**1. Factory Pattern**
+- All resource creation/retrieval goes through DockerHost:
+  ```typescript
+  // Old (deprecated):
+  const container = await DockerContainer.getContainers(dockerHost);
+  const network = await DockerNetwork.createNetwork(dockerHost, descriptor);
+
+  // New (clean API):
+  const containers = await dockerHost.listContainers();
+  const network = await dockerHost.createNetwork(descriptor);
+  ```
+
+**2. Container Management Methods Added**
+The DockerContainer class now has full CRUD and streaming operations:
+
+**Lifecycle:**
+- `container.start()` - Start container
+- `container.stop(options?)` - Stop container
+- `container.remove(options?)` - Remove container
+- `container.refresh()` - Reload state
+
+**Information:**
+- `container.inspect()` - Get detailed info
+- `container.logs(options)` - Get logs as string (one-shot)
+- `container.stats(options)` - Get stats
+
+**Streaming & Interactive:**
+- `container.streamLogs(options)` - Stream logs continuously (follow mode)
+- `container.attach(options)` - Attach to main process (PID 1) with bidirectional stream
+- `container.exec(command, options)` - Execute commands in container interactively
+
+**Example - Stream Logs:**
+```typescript
+const container = await dockerHost.getContainerById('abc123');
+const logStream = await container.streamLogs({ timestamps: true });
+
+logStream.on('data', (chunk) => {
+  console.log(chunk.toString());
+});
+```
+
+**Example - Attach to Container:**
+```typescript
+const { stream, close } = await container.attach({
+  stdin: true,
+  stdout: true,
+  stderr: true
+});
+
+// Pipe to/from process
+process.stdin.pipe(stream);
+stream.pipe(process.stdout);
+
+// Later: detach
+await close();
+```
+
+**Example - Execute Command:**
+```typescript
+const { stream, close } = await container.exec('ls -la /app', {
+  tty: true
+});
+
+stream.on('data', (chunk) => {
+  console.log(chunk.toString());
+});
+
+stream.on('end', async () => {
+  await close();
+});
+```
+
+**3. DockerResource Base Class**
+All resource classes now extend `DockerResource`:
+- Consistent `dockerHost` property (not `dockerHostRef`)
+- Required `refresh()` method
+- Standardized constructor pattern
+
+**4. ImageStore Encapsulation**
+- `dockerHost.imageStore` is now private
+- Use `dockerHost.storeImage(name, stream)` instead
+- Use `dockerHost.retrieveImage(name)` instead
+
+**5. Creation Descriptors Support Both Primitives and Instances**
+Interfaces now accept both strings and class instances:
+```typescript
+// Both work:
+await dockerHost.createService({
+  image: 'nginx:latest',  // String
+  networks: ['my-network'],  // String array
+  secrets: ['my-secret']  // String array
+});
+
+await dockerHost.createService({
+  image: imageInstance,  // DockerImage instance
+  networks: [networkInstance],  // DockerNetwork array
+  secrets: [secretInstance]  // DockerSecret array
+});
+```
+
+### Migration Guide
+Replace all static method calls with dockerHost methods:
+- `DockerContainer.getContainers(host)` → `dockerHost.listContainers()`
+- `DockerImage.createFromRegistry(host, opts)` → `dockerHost.createImageFromRegistry(opts)`
+- `DockerService.createService(host, desc)` → `dockerHost.createService(desc)`
+- `dockerHost.imageStore.storeImage(...)` → `dockerHost.storeImage(...)`
+
+## smartrequest v5+ Migration (2025-11-17)
+
+### Breaking Change
+smartrequest v5.0.0+ returns web `ReadableStream` objects (Web Streams API) instead of Node.js streams.
+
+### Solution Implemented
+All streaming methods now convert web ReadableStreams to Node.js streams using:
+```typescript
+plugins.smartstream.nodewebhelpers.convertWebReadableToNodeReadable(webStream)
+```
+
+### Files Modified
+- `ts/classes.host.ts`:
+  - `requestStreaming()` - Converts web stream to Node.js stream before returning
+  - `getEventObservable()` - Works with converted Node.js stream
+
+- `ts/classes.image.ts`:
+  - `createFromTarStream()` - Uses converted Node.js stream for event handling
+  - `exportToTarStream()` - Uses converted Node.js stream for backpressure management
+
+### Testing
+- Build:  All 11 type errors resolved
+- Tests:  Node.js tests pass (DockerHost, DockerContainer, DockerImage, DockerImageStore)
+
+### Notes
+- The conversion maintains backward compatibility with existing code expecting Node.js stream methods (`.on()`, `.emit()`, `.pause()`, `.resume()`)
+- smartstream's `nodewebhelpers` module provides bidirectional conversion utilities between web and Node.js streams
