 ## Project Overview

 - Project initialization and templating (via smartscaf)
 - Code formatting and standardization
 - Version control and commit management

 ## Architecture
 
 ### Core Structure
+
 - Main CLI entry: `cli.ts` / `cli.child.ts`
 - Modular architecture with separate modules in `ts/mod_*` directories
 - Each module handles specific functionality (format, commit, docker, etc.)
 - Extensive use of plugins pattern via `plugins.ts` files
 
 ### Configuration Management
-- Uses `npmextra.json` for all tool configuration
+
-- Configuration stored under `gitzone` key in npmextra
+- Uses `.smartconfig.json` for tool configuration
-- No separate `.gitzonerc` file - everything in npmextra.json
+- CLI settings live under the `@git.zone/cli` namespace
-- Project type and module metadata also stored in npmextra
+- Agent and non-interactive defaults now belong under `@git.zone/cli.cli`
+- Project type, module metadata, release settings, commit defaults, and format settings live in the same file
 
 ### Format Module (`mod_format`) - SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED
 
 The format module is responsible for project standardization:
 
 #### Current Modules:
+
 1. **cleanup** - Removes obsolete files (yarn.lock, tslint.json, etc.)
 2. **copy** - File copying with glob patterns (fully implemented)
 3. **gitignore** - Creates/updates .gitignore from templates

 5. **Performance Optimizations**: Parallel execution and caching
 6. **Reporting**: Diff views, statistics, verbose logging
 7. **Architecture**: Clean separation of concerns with new classes
+8. **Split Commit/Release Workflows**: `commit` creates source commits; `release` owns versioning, tags, and artifact publishing
+
+### Commit/Release Workflow Refactor (Latest)
+
+The commit module no longer bumps versions, creates tags, or publishes packages. Release work now belongs to `gitzone release`:
+
+**Changes:**
+
+- `gitzone commit` analyzes changes, updates `changelog.md` `Pending`, commits, and optionally pushes.
+- `gitzone release` reads `Pending`, bumps versions, moves changelog entries into a version section, tags, pushes, and publishes configured artifacts.
+- Commit workflow steps are configured in `.smartconfig.json` under `@git.zone/cli.commit.steps`.
+- Smartconfig schema versioning lives at `@git.zone/cli.schemaVersion`; run `gitzone config migrate <version>` for targeted migrations.
+- Release publishing is target-based under `@git.zone/cli.release.targets`.
+- NPM registries only live under `@git.zone/cli.release.targets.npm.registries`.
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Commit is safer and has no publishing side effects.
+- Multiple source commits can accumulate into one release via `Pending`.
+- Per-artifact release results can distinguish published, already-published, skipped, and failed targets.
+
+### Auto-Accept Flag for Commits
+
+The commit module now supports `-y/--yes` flag for non-interactive commits:
+
+**Usage:**
+
+- `gitzone commit -y` - Auto-accepts AI recommendations without prompts
+- `gitzone commit -yp` - Auto-accepts and pushes to origin
+- Separate `-p/--push` flag controls push behavior
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- Creates AnswerBucket programmatically when `-y` flag detected
+- Preserves all UI output for transparency
+- Fully backward compatible with interactive mode
+- CI/CD friendly for automated workflows
 
 ## Development Tips
 
 - Always check readme.plan.md for ongoing improvement plans
-- Use npmextra.json for any new configuration options
+- Use `.smartconfig.json` for any new configuration options
 - Keep modules focused and single-purpose
 - Maintain the existing plugin pattern for dependencies
 - Test format operations on sample projects before deploying

 ## API Changes
 
-- smartfile API updated to use fs.* and memory.* namespaces
+### Smartfile v13 Migration (Latest - Completed)
+
+The project has been fully migrated from @push.rocks/smartfile v11 to v13, which introduced a major breaking change where filesystem operations were split into two separate packages:
+
+**Packages:**
+
+- `@push.rocks/smartfile` v13.0.1 - File representation classes (SmartFile, StreamFile, VirtualDirectory)
+- `@push.rocks/smartfs` v1.1.0 - Filesystem operations (read, write, exists, stat, etc.)
+
+**Key API Changes:**
+
+1. **File Reading**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.toStringSync(path)` or `plugins.smartfile.fs.toObjectSync(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.file(path).encoding('utf8').read()` + JSON.parse if needed
+   - Important: `read()` returns `string | Buffer` - use `as string` type assertion when encoding is set
+
+2. **File Writing**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.memory.toFs(content, path)` or `plugins.smartfile.memory.toFsSync(content, path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.file(path).encoding('utf8').write(content)`
+
+3. **File Existence**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.fileExists(path)` or `plugins.smartfile.fs.fileExistsSync(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.file(path).exists()`
+
+4. **Directory Operations**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.ensureDir(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.directory(path).recursive().create()`
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.remove(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.directory(path).recursive().delete()` or `await plugins.smartfs.file(path).delete()`
+
+5. **Directory Listing**:
+   - Old: `plugins.smartfile.fs.listFolders(path)` or `plugins.smartfile.fs.listFoldersSync(path)`
+   - New: `await plugins.smartfs.directory(path).list()` then filter by `stats.isDirectory`
+   - Note: `list()` returns `IDirectoryEntry[]` with `path` and `name` properties - use `stat()` to check if directory
+
+6. **File Stats**:
+   - Old: `stats.isDirectory()` (method)
+   - New: `stats.isDirectory` (boolean property)
+   - Old: `stats.mtimeMs`
+   - New: `stats.mtime.getTime()`
+
+7. **SmartFile Factory**:
+   - Old: Direct SmartFile instantiation
+   - New: `plugins.smartfile.SmartFileFactory.nodeFs()` then factory methods
+
+**Migration Pattern:**
+All sync methods must become async. Functions that were previously synchronous (like `getProjectName()`) now return `Promise<T>` and must be awaited.
+
+**Affected Modules:**
+
+- ts/mod_format/\* (largest area - 15+ files)
+- ts/mod_commit/\* and ts/mod_release/\* (commit/release workflows)
+- ts/mod_services/\* (configuration management)
+- ts/mod_meta/\* (meta repository management)
+- ts/mod_standard/\* (template listing)
+- ts/mod_template/\* (template operations)
+
+**Previous API Changes:**
+
 - smartnpm requires instance creation: `new NpmRegistry()`
-- All file operations now use updated APIs
+- Type imports use `import type` for proper verbatim module syntax
-- Type imports use `import type` for proper verbatim module syntax

 # @git.zone/cli 🚀
 
-**The ultimate CLI toolbelt for modern TypeScript development workflows**
+`@git.zone/cli` is the development workflow CLI behind the `gitzone` and `gzone` commands. It helps TypeScript-heavy teams keep projects tidy, create semantic source commits, manage local Docker-backed services, scaffold new modules, and release software through explicit, target-based release configuration.
 
-[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@git.zone/cli.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@git.zone/cli)
+It is opinionated where that saves time: source commits and releases are separate, changelog entries flow through a standard `Pending` section, project config lives in `.smartconfig.json`, and release targets make side effects visible before they happen.

-## 🏃‍♂️ Quick Start
+## Install
-
-### Installation
 
 ```bash
-# Install globally via npm
-npm install -g @git.zone/cli
-
-# Or with pnpm (recommended)
 pnpm add -g @git.zone/cli
 ```
 
-Once installed, you can use either `gitzone` or the shorter `gzone` command from anywhere in your terminal.
+After installation, both binaries point to the same CLI:
-
-### Your First Command
 
 ```bash
-# Create a new TypeScript npm package
+gitzone --help
-gitzone template npm
+gzone --help
+```
 
-# Format your entire codebase
+## The Big Idea
+
+`gitzone commit` handles source history.
+
+`gitzone release` handles release transactions.
+
+That split is intentional. A commit should not unexpectedly publish npm packages, push Docker images, or trigger remote release pipelines. A release should clearly show which targets it will publish to.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Preview project standardization work
 gitzone format
 
-# Create a semantic commit
+# Apply formatting changes
+gitzone format --write
+
+# Create a semantic source commit
 gitzone commit
+
+# Preview the configured release transaction
+gitzone release --plan
+
+# Release pending changelog entries to configured targets
+gitzone release
 ```
 
-## 🛠️ Core Features
+## Commands
 
-### 📦 Project Templates
+| Command | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `commit` | Analyze changes and create one semantic source commit |
+| `release` | Turn pending changelog entries into a versioned release and publish targets |
+| `format` | Plan or apply project formatting and standardization |
+| `config` | Inspect, update, and migrate `.smartconfig.json` |
+| `services` | Manage local MongoDB, MinIO, and Elasticsearch containers |
+| `tools` | Manage the global `@git.zone` toolchain |
+| `template` | Scaffold projects from built-in templates |
+| `meta` | Manage multi-repository workspaces |
+| `open` | Open repository assets like CI pages |
+| `docker` | Run Docker maintenance tasks |
+| `deprecate` | Deprecate npm packages across registries |
+| `start` | Prepare an existing project for local work |
+| `helpers` | Run small helper utilities |
 
-Instantly scaffold production-ready projects with best practices built-in:
+Global flags include `--help`, `--json`, `--plain`, `--agent`, `--no-interactive`, and `--no-check-updates`.
+
+## Toolchain Management
+
+`gitzone tools` replaces the former `gtools` command from `@git.zone/tools`. It manages globally installed `@git.zone` development tools through pnpm.
 
 ```bash
-gitzone template [template-name]
+# Check installed @git.zone tools and update outdated packages
+gitzone tools update
+
+# Update without prompts
+gitzone tools update -y
+
+# Install missing managed @git.zone tools
+gitzone tools install
 ```
 
-**Available templates:**
+`gitzone tools update` checks `@git.zone/cli` first. If the CLI itself needs an update, it updates `@git.zone/cli` and asks you to rerun the command before updating the rest of the toolchain.
-- **`npm`** - TypeScript npm package with testing, CI/CD, and full tooling
-- **`service`** - Microservice architecture with Docker support
-- **`website`** - Modern web application with LitElement and service workers  
-- **`wcc`** - Web Component Collection for reusable UI components
 
-Each template comes pre-configured with:
+## Commit Workflow
-- ✅ TypeScript with modern configurations
-- ✅ Automated testing setup
-- ✅ CI/CD pipelines (GitLab/GitHub)
-- ✅ Code formatting and linting
-- ✅ Documentation structure
 
-### 🎨 Intelligent Code Formatting
+`gitzone commit` creates one semantic source commit. It does not bump versions, create tags, publish packages, or push Docker images.
-
-The most powerful feature of gitzone - automatically format and standardize your entire codebase:
-
-```bash
-# Preview changes without applying them
-gitzone format --dry-run
-
-# Format with automatic approval
-gitzone format --yes
-
-# Save formatting plan for later execution
-gitzone format --save-plan format-plan.json
-
-# Execute a saved plan
-gitzone format --from-plan format-plan.json
-
-# Enable verbose output for debugging
-gitzone format --verbose
-```
-
-**Format features:**
-- 🔄 **Smart caching** - Only processes changed files
-- 🛡️ **Rollback support** - Undo formatting changes if needed
-- 📊 **Detailed reporting** - See exactly what changed
-- ⚡ **Parallel execution** - Format multiple files simultaneously
-- 🎯 **Module-specific formatting** - Target specific formatters
-
-**Rollback capabilities:**
-```bash
-# List all available backups
-gitzone format --list-backups
-
-# Rollback to the last operation
-gitzone format --rollback
-
-# Rollback to a specific operation
-gitzone format --rollback [operation-id]
-
-# Clean old backups
-gitzone format --clean-backups
-```
-
-**Formatters included:**
-- **Prettier** - JavaScript/TypeScript code formatting
-- **License** - Ensure proper licensing
-- **Package.json** - Standardize package configurations
-- **Tsconfig** - TypeScript configuration optimization
-- **Readme** - Documentation formatting
-- **Gitignore** - Repository ignore rules
-- **Templates** - Project template updates
-- **Npmextra** - Extended npm configurations
-
-### 🔀 Semantic Commits & Versioning
-
-Create standardized commits that automatically handle versioning:
 
 ```bash
+# Interactive semantic commit
 gitzone commit
+
+# Read-only AI recommendation
+gitzone commit recommend --json
+
+# Auto-accept safe recommendations
+gitzone commit -y
+
+# Auto-accept, test, build, and push
+gitzone commit -ytbp
+
+# Show the resolved workflow without mutating anything
+gitzone commit --plan
 ```
 
-Features:
+The commit flow:
-- 📝 Interactive commit message builder
-- 🏷️ Automatic version bumping (major/minor/patch)
-- 📜 Changelog generation
-- 🚀 Optional auto-push to origin
-- 🎯 Conventional commit compliance
 
-The commit wizard guides you through:
+1. Analyze the working tree.
-1. **Type selection** (feat/fix/docs/style/refactor/perf/test/chore)
+2. Suggest commit type, scope, and message.
-2. **Scope definition** (component/module affected)
+3. Write a human-readable entry into `changelog.md` under `## Pending`.
-3. **Description crafting**
+4. Stage and create one semantic source commit.
-4. **Breaking change detection**
+5. Optionally run formatting, tests, build, and push based on flags or config.
-5. **Version bump determination**
 
-### 🏗️ Meta Repository Management
+Commit flags:
 
-Manage multiple related repositories as a cohesive unit:
+| Flag | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `-y`, `--yes` | Auto-accept safe recommendations |
+| `-t`, `--test` | Add test step |
+| `-b`, `--build` | Add build step |
+| `-p`, `--push` | Push after the source commit |
+| `-f`, `--format` | Run `gitzone format --write` before commit |
+| `--plan` | Show resolved workflow only |
+
+`-r` is intentionally not part of commit anymore. Use `gitzone release`.
+
+## Release Workflow
+
+`gitzone release` performs the release core once, then publishes to configured targets.
+
+The release core is not configurable plumbing. It always follows the same professional release transaction:
+
+1. Run configured preflight checks.
+2. Read `changelog.md` `## Pending` entries.
+3. Infer or accept a semver bump.
+4. Update version files and baked commit info.
+5. Move pending changelog entries into the new version section.
+6. Create the local release commit.
+7. Create the local release tag.
+
+Targets decide what happens after that:
+
+| Target | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `git` | Pushes the release commit and tags, often triggering remote CI release builds |
+| `npm` | Publishes the package to configured npm registries |
+| `docker` | Builds and pushes configured Docker images |
 
 ```bash
-# Initialize a meta repository
+# Preview the resolved release plan
-gitzone meta init
+gitzone release --plan
 
-# Add a sub-project
+# Release to configured targets
-gitzone meta add [name] [git-url]
+gitzone release
 
-# Update all sub-projects
+# Release only to npm
-gitzone meta update
+gitzone release --target npm
 
-# Remove a sub-project
+# Release only to git and Docker
-gitzone meta remove [name]
+gitzone release --target git,docker
+
+# Skip package/container publishing and keep only git target
+gitzone release --no-publish
+
+# Override inferred semver level
+gitzone release --minor
 ```
 
-Perfect for:
+Release flags:
-- Monorepo management
-- Multi-package projects
-- Coordinated deployments
-- Synchronized versioning
 
-### 🐳 Docker Management
+| Flag | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `-y`, `--yes` | Run without interactive confirmation |
+| `-t`, `--test` | Enable preflight tests |
+| `-b`, `--build` | Enable preflight build |
+| `-p`, `--push` | Enable the `git` target |
+| `--target <csv>` | Use only selected targets, e.g. `git,npm` |
+| `--npm` | Enable the `npm` target |
+| `--docker` | Enable the `docker` target |
+| `--no-publish` | Keep release core and `git` target only |
+| `--no-build` | Disable preflight build for this run |
+| `--major`, `--minor`, `--patch` | Override inferred semver level |
+| `--plan` | Show resolved workflow only |
 
-Streamline your Docker workflow:
+## Standard Changelog
 
-```bash
+The changelog is convention-based and intentionally not configured.
-# Clean up all Docker resources

-### Environment Variables
+NPM registries belong only here:
 
-- `CI` - Detect CI environment for automated workflows
+```text
-- `DEBUG` - Enable debug output
+@git.zone/cli.release.targets.npm.registries
-- `GITZONE_FORMAT_PARALLEL` - Control parallel formatting
+```
 
-## 🏆 Best Practices
+Useful config commands:
 
-### For New Projects
-1. Start with a template: `gitzone template npm`
-2. Customize the generated structure
-3. Run initial format: `gitzone format`
-4. Set up CI/CD: `gitzone open ci`
-
-### For Existing Projects
-1. Initialize: `gitzone start`
-2. Format codebase: `gitzone format --dry-run` (preview first!)
-3. Apply formatting: `gitzone format --yes`
-4. Commit changes: `gitzone commit`
-
-### For Teams
-1. Document format preferences in `npmextra.json`
-2. Use `--save-plan` for reviewable format changes
-3. Enable rollback for safety
-4. Standardize commit conventions
-
-## 🎯 Common Workflows
-
-### Clean Development Cycle
 ```bash
-# 1. Start fresh
+# Show current @git.zone/cli config
-gitzone start
+gitzone config show --json
 
-# 2. Make changes
+# Configure project basics, CLI behavior, and release targets interactively
-# ... your development work ...
+gitzone config project
+gitzone config cli
+gitzone config release
 
-# 3. Format code
+# Validate schema, legacy keys, release targets, registries, and npm auth
+gitzone config doctor
+
+# Read the npm release target registries
+gitzone config get release.targets.npm.registries
+
+# Add an npm release target registry
+gitzone config add https://registry.npmjs.org
+
+# Set npm target access level
+gitzone config access public
+
+# Run schema migration to v2
+gitzone config migrate 2
+```
+
+## Formatting
+
+`gitzone format` is dry-run by default. That makes it safe to run in any repo.
+
+```bash
+# Preview changes
 gitzone format
 
-# 4. Commit with semantic versioning
+# Emit a machine-readable plan
-gitzone commit
+gitzone format plan --json
 
-# 5. Deploy (if CI/CD configured)
+# Apply changes
-# Automatic via git push
+gitzone format --write
+
+# Apply without prompt
+gitzone format --write --yes
 ```
 
-### Multi-Repository Management
+Formatters include cleanup, smartconfig normalization, dependency license checks, package metadata normalization, template updates, `.gitignore`, TypeScript config, Prettier, README existence checks, and configured copy operations.
+
+## Development Services
+
+`gitzone services` manages local Docker-backed services for development projects.
+
+Supported services:
+
+| Service | Aliases |
+| --- | --- |
+| MongoDB | `mongo`, `mongodb` |
+| MinIO | `minio`, `s3` |
+| Elasticsearch | `elasticsearch`, `es` |
+
+```bash
+# Start configured services
+gitzone services start
+
+# Enable specific services non-interactively
+gitzone services set mongodb,minio
+
+# Check status
+gitzone services status
+
+# Print MongoDB Compass connection string
+gitzone services compass
+
+# Show logs
+gitzone services logs mongo 50
+
+# Stop containers but keep data
+gitzone services stop
+
+# Remove containers and data
+gitzone services clean
+```
+
+Service config is stored in `.nogit/env.json`. Data is stored below `.nogit/`, so it stays out of Git.
+
+## Templates
+
+Start new projects with built-in scaffolds:
+
+```bash
+gitzone template npm
+gitzone template service
+gitzone template website
+gitzone template wcc
+```
+
+Templates are rendered through SmartScaf and then can be normalized with `gitzone format`.
+
+## Meta Repositories
+
+Use `gitzone meta` when one workspace coordinates multiple repositories.
+
 ```bash
-# 1. Set up meta repository
 gitzone meta init
-
+gitzone meta add frontend https://example.com/org/frontend.git
-# 2. Add all related projects
-gitzone meta add frontend https://github.com/org/frontend.git
-gitzone meta add backend https://github.com/org/backend.git
-gitzone meta add shared https://github.com/org/shared.git
-
-# 3. Synchronize updates
 gitzone meta update
+gitzone meta remove frontend
 ```
 
-### Safe Formatting with Rollback
+## Other Utilities
+
 ```bash
-# 1. Preview changes
+# Docker cleanup
-gitzone format --dry-run
+gitzone docker prune
 
-# 2. Save plan for review
+# Open GitLab CI settings or pipelines for the current repo
-gitzone format --save-plan format-changes.json
+gitzone open ci
+gitzone open pipelines
 
-# 3. Apply formatting
+# Deprecate an old npm package interactively
-gitzone format --from-plan format-changes.json
+gitzone deprecate
 
-# 4. If something goes wrong, rollback
+# Prepare a project for local work
-gitzone format --rollback
+gitzone start
+
+# Generate a short unique ID
+gitzone helpers shortid
 ```
 
-## 🔌 Integrations
+## Troubleshooting
 
-### CI/CD Platforms
+Format only previews changes:
-- **GitLab CI** - Full pipeline support with templates
-- **GitHub Actions** - Automated workflows
-- **Docker** - Container-based deployments
 
-### Development Tools
+```bash
-- **TypeScript** - First-class support
+gitzone format --write
-- **Prettier** - Code formatting
+```
-- **ESLint** - Linting (via format modules)
-- **npm/pnpm** - Package management
 
-### Version Control
+Release says there is nothing to release:
-- **Git** - Deep integration
-- **Semantic Versioning** - Automatic version bumping
-- **Conventional Commits** - Standardized commit messages
 
-## 💡 Pro Tips
+```bash
+# Make sure commits have populated the Pending changelog section
+gitzone commit
+```
 
-1. **Use aliases**: Add `alias gz='gitzone'` to your shell profile
+Docker services fail to start:
-2. **Combine commands**: `gitzone format --yes && gitzone commit`
-3. **Leverage templates**: Start projects right with proven structures
-4. **Enable caching**: Dramatically speeds up formatting operations
-5. **Save format plans**: Review changes before applying in production
 
-## 🐛 Troubleshooting
-
-### Format Command Shows "Cancelled"
-If the format command shows cancelled even after confirming:
-- Check your `npmextra.json` configuration
-- Try with `--yes` flag to skip confirmation
-- Use `--verbose` for detailed output
-
-### Docker Commands Fail
-Ensure Docker daemon is running:
 ```bash
 docker info
+gitzone services status
+gitzone services reconfigure
 ```
 
-### Template Creation Issues
+Config looks outdated:
-Verify npm/pnpm is properly configured:
+
 ```bash
-npm config get registry
+gitzone config migrate 2
+gitzone config show --json
 ```
 
-## 📈 Performance
-
-gitzone is optimized for speed:
-- **Parallel processing** for format operations
-- **Smart caching** to avoid redundant work
-- **Incremental updates** for meta repositories
-- **Minimal dependencies** for fast installation
