 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-12-13 - 3.1.3 - fix(npmextra)
+Align npmextra.json package name with package.json (@git.zone/tsbuild)
+
+- Corrected npmPackagename in npmextra.json from "@gitzone/tsbuild" to "@git.zone/tsbuild" to match package.json and README
+- Metadata-only change: no code or API behavior affected
+
+## 2025-11-28 - 3.1.2 - fix(TsBuild)
+Set default TypeScript target to ESNext
+
+- Default compiler target changed from ScriptTarget.ES2024 to ScriptTarget.ESNext in ts/tsbuild.classes.tsbuild.ts
+- Aligns the default compiler options with documentation and ensures use of the latest language features
+
+## 2025-11-27 - 3.1.1 - fix(compiler)
+Update default TypeScript target to ES2024
+
+- Default compiler option 'target' changed from ScriptTarget.ESNext to ScriptTarget.ES2024 in ts/tsbuild.classes.tsbuild.ts
+- Aligns emitted code to ES2024 language features by default
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 3.1.0 - feat(tsbuild.classes)
+Update default TypeScript lib to lib.esnext.d.ts
+
+- Changed default compilerOptions.lib from ['lib.dom.d.ts', 'lib.es2022.d.ts'] to ['lib.dom.d.ts', 'lib.esnext.d.ts'] in compilerOptionsDefault.
+- Allows newer ECMAScript/DOM features by default when compiling with tsbuild (affects emitted types and available globals).
+- Behavioral default change only — no public API changes; callers can still override lib via tsconfig, programmatic options, or CLI.
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(TsBuild)
+Stop forcing emitDecoratorMetadata in protected compiler defaults
+
+- Removed emitDecoratorMetadata from the set of protected/critical default compiler options.
+- Projects that relied on tsbuild automatically enabling emitDecoratorMetadata (for DI frameworks like NestJS, TypeORM, Inversify) must now enable it explicitly in their tsconfig.json or via programmatic/CLI options.
+- No other protected defaults were changed; outDir, noEmitOnError, declaration and inlineSourceMap remain enforced.
+- Behavior is now more permissive: decorator metadata generation is controlled by user configuration rather than being forced by tsbuild.
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 2.7.3 - fix(tsbuild.classes)
+Remove duplicate emitDecoratorMetadata from default compiler options and centralize it in protected defaults
+
+- Removed emitDecoratorMetadata from compilerOptionsDefault in ts/tsbuild.classes.tsbuild.ts to avoid duplicate configuration.
+- emitDecoratorMetadata remains enforced via getCriticalDefaults(), ensuring decorator metadata support is protected from tsconfig.json overrides.
+- Prevents inconsistencies during compiler option merging by centralizing the decorator-related setting.
+
+## 2025-11-17 - 2.7.2 - fix(compilerOptions)
+Remove experimentalDecorators and useDefineForClassFields from default TypeScript compiler options
+
+- Removed experimentalDecorators from compilerOptionsDefault in ts/tsbuild.classes.tsbuild.ts
+- Removed useDefineForClassFields from compilerOptionsDefault in ts/tsbuild.classes.tsbuild.ts
+- Default compiler options now rely on TypeScript's upstream defaults for decorator and class field behavior
+- If your project relies on these settings, re-enable them in your tsconfig.json or pass them via the programmatic API / CLI
+
+## 2025-11-02 - 2.7.1 - fix(readme)
+Update documentation: expand README with usage, CLI and API examples; add readme.hints.md project memory
+
+- Add readme.hints.md: new project memory / quick reference with public API and CLI summaries
+- Expand and restructure readme.md: more comprehensive Quick Start, CLI Commands, API Reference, configuration, examples and troubleshooting
+- Clarify protected compiler options, default compiler options, path transformation behavior and error-handling patterns
+- Docs-only change — no source code or behavioral changes
+
+## 2025-11-02 - 2.7.0 - feat(tsbuild)
+Add tsconfig.json support and safer compiler option merging; protect critical options; apply path and enum transforms; bump dependencies.
+
+- Add robust tsconfig.json reading with graceful fallback when no tsconfig is present or it is invalid
+- Merge compiler options in a clear priority order (defaults -> tsconfig -> protected defaults -> programmatic -> CLI flags)
+- Introduce protected (critical) compiler options that cannot be overridden by tsconfig.json: outDir, noEmitOnError, declaration, emitDecoratorMetadata, inlineSourceMap
+- Convert string values from tsconfig (target, module, moduleResolution) to TypeScript enum values where applicable; special-case NodeNext
+- Transform tsconfig path mappings by replacing './ts_' with './dist_ts_' to keep runtime path resolution consistent with compiled output
+- Expose getCriticalDefaults helper and adjust mergeCompilerOptions to apply protected defaults before programmatic and CLI overrides
+- Update README with documentation for tsconfig support, merge order, protected compiler options, and example tsconfig
+- Bump dependencies/devDependencies: @push.rocks/smartcli ^4.0.19, @push.rocks/smartlog ^3.1.10, typescript 5.9.3, @git.zone/tsrun ^1.6.2, @git.zone/tstest ^2.7.0
+
+## 2025-08-29 - 2.6.8 - fix(tsbuild)
+Avoid process.exit in library, add confirmskiplibcheck flag, improve CLI exit handling and JSON/quiet modes, update test script
+
+- Changed package.json test script from "tsrun test/test.ts --verbose" to "tstest test/test.ts --verbose".
+- Library no longer calls process.exit from compile and compileWithErrorTracking; errors are returned or thrown so callers can decide process termination.
+- skipLibCheck behavior updated: delay/warning only happens when --confirmskiplibcheck is present; otherwise a short informational note is printed (suppressed in --quiet/--json).
+- CLI now awaits compileGlobStringObject calls and inspects a final error summary attached to argv to decide process.exit(1) when errors occurred.
+- compileGlobStringObject/exports now respect --quiet and --json modes, emit a JSON summary when --json is used, and attach the final error summary to argv so the CLI can determine exit behavior.
+
+## 2025-08-18 - 2.6.7 - fix(tspublish)
+Bump @git.zone/tspublish dependency to ^1.10.3
+
+- Updated dependency @git.zone/tspublish from ^1.10.2 to ^1.10.3 in package.json
+
 ## 2025-08-18 - 2.6.6 - fix(dependencies)
 Update dependency @git.zone/tspublish to ^1.10.2

+
+## Architecture - Modular Structure
+
+### Module Organization
+```
+ts/
+  index.ts                      # Main entry, re-exports all modules
+  plugins.ts                    # Dependency imports only
+
+  mod_fs/
+    index.ts                    # exports
+    classes.fshelpers.ts        # FsHelpers - static filesystem utilities
+
+  mod_config/
+    index.ts                    # exports
+    classes.tsconfig.ts         # TsConfig - tsconfig.json handling
+    classes.tspublishconfig.ts  # TsPublishConfig - tspublish.json handling

+  mod_compiler/
+    index.ts                    # exports
+    classes.tscompiler.ts       # TsCompiler + legacy compatibility functions
+
+  mod_cli/
+    index.ts                    # exports
+    classes.tsbuildcli.ts       # TsBuildCli - CLI command handler
+```
+
+### Class Responsibilities
+
+**TsCompiler** (`mod_compiler/classes.tscompiler.ts`)
+- Core compilation with `compileFiles()`, `compileGlob()`
+- Type checking with `checkTypes()`, `checkEmit()`
+- Configuration via TsConfig
+- Automatic unpacking via TsUnpacker
+
+**TsConfig** (`mod_config/classes.tsconfig.ts`)
+- Load and parse tsconfig.json
+- Merge configuration with priority order
+- Protected defaults handling
+
+**TsPublishConfig** (`mod_config/classes.tspublishconfig.ts`)
+- Load and parse tspublish.json
+- `shouldUnpack` property (default true)
+- `order` property for tsfolders ordering
+
+**TsUnpacker** (`mod_unpack/classes.tsunpacker.ts`)
+- Detect nested output structure
+- Flatten output directories
+- Configurable via TsPublishConfig
+
+**FsHelpers** (`mod_fs/classes.fshelpers.ts`)
+- `listFilesWithGlob()` - Glob pattern file listing
+- `extractSourceFolder()` - Pattern parsing
+- File/directory existence checks
+- Directory operations
+
+**TsBuildCli** (`mod_cli/classes.tsbuildcli.ts`)
+- All CLI commands registered
+- Uses TsCompiler for compilation
+
+## Configuration Priority (5 levels)
+1. Default options (hardcoded in TsConfig)
+2. tsconfig.json (if exists)
+3. Protected defaults (ensure integrity)
+4. Programmatic options (function params)
+5. CLI flags (highest priority)
+
+### Protected Options
+Cannot be overridden by tsconfig.json alone:
+- `outDir: 'dist_ts/'` - Path transformation logic
+- `noEmitOnError: true` - Build integrity
+- `declaration: true` - Library support
+- `inlineSourceMap: true` - Debugging
+
+### Path Transformation
+- Automatic: `./ts_interfaces` → `./dist_ts_interfaces`
+- In tsconfig paths: `./ts_*` → `./dist_ts_*` (first array element only)
+
+## Default Compiler Options
+- Module: NodeNext (ESM with CommonJS fallback)
+- Target: ESNext (latest JavaScript)
+- Source Maps: Inline (no separate .map files)
+- Declaration Files: ALWAYS generated (protected)
+- Output: dist_ts/
+- Implicit any: ALLOWED by default
+- esModuleInterop: true
+- verbatimModuleSyntax: true
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Summary Structure
+```typescript
+interface IErrorSummary {
+  errorsByFile: Record<string, Diagnostic[]>
+  generalErrors: Diagnostic[]
+  totalErrors: number
+  totalFiles: number
+}
+```
+
+### Compile Result Structure
+```typescript
+interface ICompileResult {
+  emittedFiles: string[]
+  errorSummary: IErrorSummary
+}
+```
+
+## Dependencies Used
+- @git.zone/tspublish@^1.10.3 - Module ordering
+- @push.rocks/smartcli@^4.0.19 - CLI framework
+- @push.rocks/smartfile@^13.1.2 - File content handling
+- @push.rocks/smartfs@^1.2.0 - Filesystem operations
+- @push.rocks/smartpath@^6.0.0 - Path transformation utilities
+- @push.rocks/smartpromise@^4.2.3 - Promise utilities
+- @push.rocks/smartdelay@^3.0.5 - Delay utilities
+- typescript@5.9.3 - TypeScript compiler
+
+### smartfs Usage
+- File listing: `smartfs.directory(path).recursive().filter(pattern).list()`
+- File existence: `smartfs.file(path).exists()`
+- Directory existence: `smartfs.directory(path).exists()`
+- FsHelpers wraps smartfs for glob pattern support
+
+## Unpack Feature
+
+When TypeScript compiles files that import from sibling directories, it creates nested output:
+```
+dist_ts_core/
+  ts_core/        ← nested output
+  ts_shared/      ← pulled-in dependency
+```
+
+The unpack feature automatically flattens this to:
+```
+dist_ts_core/
+  index.js        ← flat
+```
+
+### Configuration
+- Reads `tspublish.json` from source folder
+- `unpack: true` (default if not present) → flatten output
+- `unpack: false` → skip unpacking
+
+### Implementation
+- `TsUnpacker` class in `mod_unpack/classes.tsunpacker.ts`
+- Called automatically after each successful compilation in `TsCompiler.compileGlob()`
+
+## Special Behaviors
+
+### tsfolders Command Ordering
+1. Always: ts_interfaces first (if no tspublish.json)
+2. Always: ts_shared second (if no tspublish.json)
+3. Then: Other folders by `order` property in their tspublish.json
+4. Finally: Folders without order property (Infinity)
+
+### check Command Default (No Arguments)
+Two-phase check:
+1. Phase 1: Type check ts/**/* (strict, include .d.ts)
+2. Phase 2: Type check test/**/* (relaxed, skipLibCheck: true)
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+1. **Empty file list** - Returns [], no error
+2. **Glob duplicates** - Files compile multiple times
+3. **Non-existent files** - TypeScript "file not found" errors
+4. **skipLibCheck warning** - 1-line default, 5s pause with --confirmskiplibcheck
+5. **Missing tsconfig.json** - Graceful fallback, no error
+6. **Module resolution** - --commonjs switches to NodeJs (not NodeNext)
+7. **Source maps** - Inline only (not separate .map files)
+8. **File filtering** - Only .ts and .tsx; .d.ts and .js ignored
+
+## Build Safety Features
+- `noEmitOnError: true` - Prevents broken builds
+- Error aggregation before final output
+- Protected options ensure integrity
+- Pre-emit checks before emit phase
+- CLI exit code handling (0=success, 1=error)
+
+## Recent Changes
+- 3.1.4+ - Major restructuring with mod_* modules
+- Full OO architecture with TsCompiler, TsConfig, TsPublishConfig, TsUnpacker, TsBuildCli, FsHelpers
+- Backward compatibility maintained for legacy functions
+- Automatic "unpack" feature for nested output directories
+- Migrated filesystem operations from smartfile to smartfs
