 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-07 - 1.17.1 - fix(registrycopy)
+add fetchWithRetry wrapper to apply timeouts, retries with exponential backoff, and token cache handling; use it for registry HTTP requests
+
+- Introduces fetchWithRetry(url, options, timeoutMs, maxRetries) to wrap fetch with AbortSignal timeout, exponential backoff retries, and retry behavior only for network errors and 5xx responses
+- Replaces direct fetch calls for registry /v2 checks, token requests, and blob uploads with fetchWithRetry (30s for auth/token checks, 300s for blob operations)
+- Clears token cache entry when a 401 response is received so the next attempt re-authenticates
+- Adds logging on retry attempts and backoff delays to improve robustness and observability
+
+## 2026-02-07 - 1.17.0 - feat(tsdocker)
+add Dockerfile filtering, optional skip-build flow, and fallback Docker config credential loading
+
+- Add TsDockerManager.filterDockerfiles(patterns) to filter discovered Dockerfiles by glob-style patterns and warn when no matches are found
+- Allow skipping image build with --no-build (argvArg.build === false): discover Dockerfiles and apply filters without performing build
+- Fallback to load Docker registry credentials from ~/.docker/config.json via RegistryCopy.getDockerConfigCredentials when env vars do not provide credentials
+- Import RegistryCopy and add info/warn logs when credentials are loaded or missing
+
+## 2026-02-07 - 1.16.0 - feat(core)
+Introduce per-invocation TsDockerSession and session-aware local registry and build orchestration; stream and parse buildx output for improved logging and visibility; detect Docker topology and add CI-safe cleanup; update README with multi-arch, parallel-build, caching, and local registry usage and new CLI flags.
+
+- Add TsDockerSession to allocate unique ports, container names and builder suffixes for concurrent runs (especially in CI).
+- Make local registry session-aware: start/stop/use registry container and persistent storage per session; retry on port conflicts.
+- Inject session into Dockerfile instances and TsDockerManager; use session.config.registryHost for tagging/pushing and test container naming.
+- Stream and parse buildx/docker build output via createBuildOutputHandler for clearer step/platform/CACHED/DONE logging and --progress=plain usage.
+- Detect Docker topology (socket-mount, dind, local) in DockerContext and expose it in context info.
+- Add manager.cleanup to remove CI-scoped buildx builders and ensure CLI calls cleanup after build/push/test.
+- Update interfaces to include topology and adjust many Dockerfile/manager methods to be session-aware.
+- Large README improvements: multi-arch flow, persistent local registry, parallel builds, caching, new CLI and clean flags, and examples for CI integration.
+
+## 2026-02-07 - 1.15.1 - fix(registry)
+use persistent local registry and OCI Distribution API image copy for pushes
+
+- Adds RegistryCopy class implementing the OCI Distribution API to copy images (including multi-arch manifest lists) from the local registry to remote registries.
+- All builds now go through a persistent local registry at localhost:5234 with volume storage at .nogit/docker-registry/; Dockerfile.startLocalRegistry mounts this directory.
+- Dockerfile.push now delegates to RegistryCopy.copyImage; Dockerfile.needsLocalRegistry() always returns true and config.push is now a no-op (kept for backward compat).
+- Multi-platform buildx builds are pushed to the local registry (this.localRegistryTag) during buildx --push; code avoids redundant pushes when images are already pushed by buildx.
+- Build, cached build, test, push and pull flows now start/stop the local registry automatically to support multi-platform/image resolution.
+- Introduces Dockerfile.getDestRepo and support for config.registryRepoMap to control destination repository mapping.
+- Breaking change: registry usage and push behavior changed (config.push ignored and local registry mandatory) — bump major version.
+
+## 2026-02-07 - 1.15.0 - feat(clean)
+Make the `clean` command interactive: add smartinteract prompts, docker context detection, and selective resource removal with support for --all and -y auto-confirm
+
+- Adds dependency @push.rocks/smartinteract and exposes it from the plugins module
+- Refactors tsdocker.cli.ts clean command to list Docker resources and prompt checkbox selection for running/stopped containers, images, and volumes
+- Adds DockerContext detection and logging to determine active Docker context
+- Introduces auto-confirm (-y) and --all handling to either auto-accept or allow full-image/volume removal
+- Replaces blunt shell commands with safer, interactive selection and adds improved error handling and logging
+
+## 2026-02-07 - 1.14.0 - feat(build)
+add level-based parallel builds with --parallel and configurable concurrency
+
+- Introduces --parallel and --parallel=<n> CLI flags to enable level-based parallel Docker builds (default concurrency 4).
+- Adds Dockerfile.computeLevels() to group topologically-sorted Dockerfiles into dependency levels.
+- Adds Dockerfile.runWithConcurrency() implementing a bounded-concurrency worker-pool (fast-fail via Promise.all).
+- Integrates parallel build mode into Dockerfile.buildDockerfiles() and TsDockerManager.build() for both cached and non-cached flows, including tagging and pushing for dependency resolution after each level.
+- Adds options.parallel and options.parallelConcurrency to the build interface and wires them through the CLI and manager.
+- Updates documentation (readme.hints.md) with usage examples and implementation notes.
+
+## 2026-02-07 - 1.13.0 - feat(docker)
+add Docker context detection, rootless support, and context-aware buildx registry handling
+
+- Introduce DockerContext class to detect current Docker context and rootless mode and to log warnings and context info
+- Add IDockerContextInfo interface and a new context option on build/config to pass explicit Docker context
+- Propagate --context CLI flag into TsDockerManager.prepare so CLI commands can set an explicit Docker context
+- Make buildx builder name context-aware (tsdocker-builder-<sanitized-context>) and log builder name/platforms
+- Pass isRootless into local registry startup and build pipeline; emit rootless-specific warnings and registry reachability hint
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.12.0 - feat(docker)
+add detailed logging for buildx, build commands, local registry, and local dependency info
+
+- Log startup of local registry including a note about buildx dependency bridging
+- Log constructed build commands and indicate whether buildx or standard docker build is used (including platforms and --push/--load distinctions)
+- Emit build mode summary at start of build phase and report local base-image dependency mappings
+- Report when --no-cache is enabled and surface buildx setup readiness with configured platforms
+- Non-functional change: purely adds informational logging to improve observability during builds
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.11.0 - feat(docker)
+start temporary local registry for buildx dependency resolution and ensure buildx builder uses host network
+
+- Introduce a temporary local registry (localhost:5234) with start/stop helpers and push support to expose local images for buildx
+- Add Dockerfile.needsLocalRegistry to decide when a local registry is required (local base dependencies + multi-platform or platform option)
+- Push built images to the local registry and set localRegistryTag on Dockerfile instances for BuildKit build-context usage
+- Tag built images in the host daemon for dependent Dockerfiles to resolve local FROM references
+- Integrate registry lifecycle into Dockerfile.buildDockerfiles and TsDockerManager build flows (start before builds, stop after)
+- Ensure buildx builder is created with --driver-opt network=host and recreate existing builder if it lacks host network to allow registry access from build containers
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.10.0 - feat(classes.dockerfile)
+support using a local base image as a build context in buildx commands
+
+- Adds --build-context flag mapping base image to docker-image://<localTag> when localBaseImageDependent && localBaseDockerfile are set
+- Appends the build context flag to both single-platform and multi-platform docker buildx commands
+- Logs an info message indicating the local build context mapping
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.9.0 - feat(build)
+add verbose build output, progress logging, and timing for builds/tests
+
+- Add 'verbose' option to build/test flows (interfaces, CLI, and method signatures) to allow streaming raw docker build output or run silently
+- Log per-item progress for build and test phases (e.g. (1/N) Building/Testing <tag>) and report individual durations
+- Return elapsed time from Dockerfile.build() and Dockerfile.test() and aggregate total build/test times in manager
+- Introduce formatDuration(ms) helper in logging module to format timings
+- Switch from console.log to structured logger calls across cache, manager, dockerfile and push paths
+- Use silent exec variants when verbose is false and stream exec when verbose is true
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.8.0 - feat(build)
+add optional content-hash based build cache to skip rebuilding unchanged Dockerfiles
+
+- Introduce TsDockerCache to compute SHA-256 of Dockerfile content and persist cache to .nogit/tsdocker_support.json
+- Add ICacheEntry and ICacheData interfaces and a cached flag to IBuildCommandOptions
+- Integrate cached mode in TsDockerManager: skip builds on cache hits, verify image presence, record builds on misses, and still perform dependency tagging
+- Expose --cached option in CLI to enable the cached build flow
+- Cache records store contentHash, imageId, buildTag and timestamp
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.7.0 - feat(cli)
+add CLI version display using commitinfo
+
+- Imported commitinfo from './00_commitinfo_data.js' and called tsdockerCli.addVersion(commitinfo.version) to surface package/commit version in the Smartcli instance
+- Change made in ts/tsdocker.cli.ts — small user-facing CLI enhancement; no breaking changes
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.6.0 - feat(docker)
+add support for no-cache builds and tag built images for local dependency resolution
+
+- Introduce IBuildCommandOptions.noCache to control --no-cache behavior
+- Propagate noCache from CLI (via cache flag) through TsDockerManager to Dockerfile.build
+- Append --no-cache to docker build/buildx commands when noCache is true
+- After building an image, tag it with full base image references used by dependent Dockerfiles so their FROM lines resolve to the locally-built image
+- Log tagging actions and execute docker tag via smartshellInstance
+
+## 2026-02-06 - 1.5.0 - feat(build)
+add support for selective builds, platform override and build timeout
+
+- Introduce IBuildCommandOptions with patterns, platform and timeout to control build behavior
+- Allow manager.build() to accept options and build only matching Dockerfiles (including dependencies) preserving topological order
+- Add CLI parsing for build/push to accept positional Dockerfile patterns and --platform/--timeout flags
+- Support single-platform override via docker buildx and multi-platform buildx detection
+- Implement streaming exec with timeout to kill long-running builds and surface timeout errors
+
+## 2026-02-04 - 1.4.3 - fix(dockerfile)
+fix matching of base images to local Dockerfiles by stripping registry prefixes when comparing image references
+
+- Added Dockerfile.extractRepoVersion(imageRef) to normalize image references by removing registry prefixes (detects registries containing '.' or ':' or 'localhost').
+- Use extractRepoVersion when checking tagToDockerfile and when mapping local base dockerfiles to ensure comparisons use repo:tag keys rather than full registry-prefixed references.
+- Prevents mismatches when baseImage includes a registry (e.g. "host.today/repo:version") so it correctly matches a local cleanTag like "repo:version".
+
+## 2026-01-21 - 1.4.2 - fix(classes.dockerfile)
+use a single top-level fs import instead of requiring fs inside methods
+
+- Added top-level import: import * as fs from 'fs' in ts/classes.dockerfile.ts
+- Removed inline require('fs') calls and replaced with the imported fs in constructor and test() to keep imports consistent
+- No behavioral change expected; this is a cleanup/refactor to standardize module usage
+
+## 2026-01-20 - 1.4.1 - fix(docs)
+update README: expand usage, installation, quick start, features, troubleshooting and migration notes
+
+- Expanded README content: new Quick Start, Installation examples, and detailed Features section (containerized testing, smart Docker builds, multi-registry push, multi-architecture support, zero-config start)
+- Added troubleshooting and performance tips including registry login guidance and circular dependency advice
+- Updated migration notes from legacy npmdocker to @git.zone/tsdocker (command and config key changes, ESM guidance)
+- Documentation-only change — no source code modified
+
+## 2026-01-20 - 1.4.0 - feat(tsdocker)
+add multi-registry and multi-arch Docker build/push/pull manager, registry storage, Dockerfile handling, and new CLI commands
+
+- Introduce TsDockerManager orchestrator to discover, sort, build, test, push and pull Dockerfiles
+- Add Dockerfile class with dependency-aware build order, buildx support, push/pull and test flows (new large module)
+- Add DockerRegistry and RegistryStorage classes to manage registry credentials, login/logout and environment loading
+- Add CLI commands: build, push, pull, test, login, list (and integrate TsDockerManager into CLI)
+- Extend configuration (ITsDockerConfig) with registries, registryRepoMap, buildArgEnvMap, platforms, push and testDir; re-export as IConfig for backwards compatibility
+- Add @push.rocks/lik to dependencies and import it in tsdocker.plugins
+- Remove legacy speedtest command and related package.json script
+- Update README and readme.hints with new features, configuration examples and command list
+
 ## 2026-01-19 - 1.3.0 - feat(packaging)
 Rename package scope to @git.zone and migrate to ESM; rename CLI/config keys, update entrypoints and imports, bump Node requirement to 18, and adjust scripts/dependencies

 ## Module Purpose
 
-tsdocker is a tool for developing npm modules cross-platform using Docker. It allows testing in clean, reproducible Linux environments locally.
+tsdocker is a comprehensive Docker development and building tool. It provides:
+- Testing npm modules in clean Docker environments (legacy feature)
+- Building Dockerfiles with dependency ordering
+- Multi-registry push/pull support
+- Multi-architecture builds (amd64/arm64)
 
-## Recent Upgrades (2025-11-22)
+## New CLI Commands (2026-01-19)
 
-- Updated all @git.zone/_ dependencies to @git.zone/_ scope (latest versions)
+| Command | Description |
-- Updated all @pushrocks/_ dependencies to @push.rocks/_ scope (latest versions)
+|---------|-------------|
-- Migrated from smartfile v8 to smartfs v1.1.0
+| `tsdocker` | Run tests in container (legacy default behavior) |
-  - All filesystem operations now use smartfs fluent API
+| `tsdocker build` | Build all Dockerfiles with dependency ordering |
-  - Operations are now async (smartfs is async-only)
+| `tsdocker push [registry]` | Push images to configured registries |
-- Updated dev dependencies:
+| `tsdocker pull <registry>` | Pull images from registry |
-  - @git.zone/tsbuild: ^3.1.0
+| `tsdocker test` | Run container tests (test scripts) |
-  - @git.zone/tsrun: ^2.0.0
+| `tsdocker login` | Login to configured registries |
-  - @git.zone/tstest: ^3.1.3
+| `tsdocker list` | List discovered Dockerfiles and dependencies |
-- Removed @pushrocks/tapbundle (now use @git.zone/tstest/tapbundle)
+| `tsdocker clean --all` | Clean up Docker environment |
-- Updated @types/node to ^22.10.2
+| `tsdocker vscode` | Start VS Code in Docker |
-- Removed tslint and tslint-config-prettier (no longer needed)
 
-## SmartFS Migration Details
+## Configuration
 
-The following operations were converted:
+Configure in `package.json` under `@git.zone/tsdocker`:
 
-- `smartfile.fs.fileExistsSync()` → Node.js `fs.existsSync()` (for sync needs)
+```json
-- `smartfile.fs.ensureDirSync()` → Node.js `fs.mkdirSync(..., { recursive: true })`
+{
-- `smartfile.memory.toFsSync()` → `smartfs.file(path).write(content)` (async)
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
-- `smartfile.fs.removeSync()` → `smartfs.file(path).delete()` (async)
+    "registries": ["registry.gitlab.com", "docker.io"],
+    "registryRepoMap": {
+      "registry.gitlab.com": "host.today/ht-docker-node"
+    },
+    "buildArgEnvMap": {
+      "NODE_VERSION": "NODE_VERSION"
+    },
+    "platforms": ["linux/amd64", "linux/arm64"],
+    "push": false,
+    "testDir": "./test"
+  }
+}
+```
 
-## Test Status
+### Configuration Options
 
-- Build: ✅ Passes
+- `baseImage`: Base Docker image for testing (legacy)
-- The integration test requires cloning an external test repository (sandbox-npmts)
+- `command`: Command to run in container (legacy)
-- The external test repo uses top-level await which requires ESM module handling
+- `dockerSock`: Mount Docker socket (legacy)
-- This is not a tsdocker issue but rather the test repository's structure
+- `registries`: Array of registry URLs to push to
+- `registryRepoMap`: Map registry URLs to different repo paths
+- `buildArgEnvMap`: Map Docker build ARGs to environment variables
+- `platforms`: Target architectures for buildx
+- `push`: Auto-push after build
+- `testDir`: Directory containing test scripts
+
+## Registry Authentication
+
+Set environment variables for registry login:
+
+```bash
+# Pipe-delimited format (numbered 1-10)
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_1="registry.gitlab.com|username|password"
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_2="docker.io|username|password"
+
+# Or individual registry format
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_URL="registry.gitlab.com"
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_USER="username"
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="password"
+```

 ## Dependencies
 
-All dependencies are now at their latest versions compatible with Node.js without introducing new Node.js-specific dependencies.
+- `@push.rocks/lik`: Object mapping utilities
+- `@push.rocks/smartfs`: Filesystem operations
+- `@push.rocks/smartshell`: Shell command execution
+- `@push.rocks/smartcli`: CLI framework
+- `@push.rocks/projectinfo`: Project metadata
+
+## Parallel Builds
+
+`--parallel` flag enables level-based parallel Docker builds:
+
+```bash
+tsdocker build --parallel           # parallel, default concurrency (4)
+tsdocker build --parallel=8         # parallel, concurrency 8
+tsdocker build --parallel --cached  # works with both modes
+```
+
+Implementation: `Dockerfile.computeLevels()` groups topologically sorted Dockerfiles into dependency levels. `Dockerfile.runWithConcurrency()` provides a worker-pool pattern for bounded concurrency. Both are public static methods on the `Dockerfile` class. The parallel logic exists in both `Dockerfile.buildDockerfiles()` (standard mode) and `TsDockerManager.build()` (cached mode).
+
+## OCI Distribution API Push (v1.16+)
+
+All builds now go through a persistent local registry (`localhost:5234`) with volume storage at `.nogit/docker-registry/`. Pushes use the `RegistryCopy` class (`ts/classes.registrycopy.ts`) which implements the OCI Distribution API to copy images (including multi-arch manifest lists) from the local registry to remote registries. This replaces the old `docker tag + docker push` approach that only worked for single-platform images.
+
+Key classes:
+- `RegistryCopy` — HTTP-based OCI image copy (auth, blob transfer, manifest handling)
+- `Dockerfile.push()` — Now delegates to `RegistryCopy.copyImage()`
+- `Dockerfile.needsLocalRegistry()` — Always returns true
+- `Dockerfile.startLocalRegistry()` — Uses persistent volume mount
+
+The `config.push` field is now a no-op (kept for backward compat).
+
+## Build Status
+
+- Build: ✅ Passes
+- Legacy test functionality preserved

 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
+# Global installation (recommended for CLI usage)
 npm install -g @git.zone/tsdocker
-# or for project-local installation
+
+# Or project-local installation
 pnpm install --save-dev @git.zone/tsdocker
 ```
 
 ## Quick Start
 
-### 1. Configure Your Project
+### 🧪 Run Tests in Docker
 
-Create an `npmextra.json` file in your project root:
+The simplest use case — run your tests in a clean container:
+
+```bash
+tsdocker
+```
+
+This pulls your configured base image, mounts your project, and executes your test command in isolation.
+
+### 🏗️ Build Docker Images
+
+Got `Dockerfile` files? Build them all with automatic dependency ordering:
+
+```bash
+tsdocker build
+```
+
+tsdocker will:
+1. 🔍 Discover all `Dockerfile*` files in your project
+2. 📊 Analyze `FROM` dependencies between them
+3. 🔄 Sort them topologically
+4. 🏗️ Build each image in the correct order
+5. 📦 Push every image to a persistent local registry (`.nogit/docker-registry/`)
+
+### 📤 Push to Registries
+
+Ship your images to one or all configured registries:
+
+```bash
+# Push to all configured registries
+tsdocker push
+
+# Push to a specific registry
+tsdocker push --registry=registry.gitlab.com
+```
+
+Under the hood, `tsdocker push` uses the **OCI Distribution API** to copy images directly from the local registry to remote registries. This means multi-arch manifest lists are preserved end-to-end — no more single-platform-only pushes.

 }
 ```
 
-### 2. Run Your Tests
+### Configuration Options
 
-```bash
+#### Build & Push Options
-tsdocker
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `registries` | `string[]` | `[]` | Registry URLs to push to |
+| `registryRepoMap` | `object` | `{}` | Map registries to different repository paths |
+| `buildArgEnvMap` | `object` | `{}` | Map Docker build ARGs to environment variables |
+| `platforms` | `string[]` | `["linux/amd64"]` | Target architectures for multi-arch builds |
+| `testDir` | `string` | `./test` | Directory containing test scripts |
+
+#### Legacy Testing Options
+
+These options configure the `tsdocker` default command (containerized test runner):
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `baseImage` | `string` | `hosttoday/ht-docker-node:npmdocker` | Docker image for test environment |
+| `command` | `string` | `npmci npm test` | Command to run inside the container |

+
+## Architecture: How tsdocker Works
+
+tsdocker uses a **local OCI registry** as the canonical store for all built images. This design solves fundamental problems with Docker's local daemon, which cannot hold multi-architecture manifest lists.

+
+## Registry Authentication
 
 ### Environment Variables
 
-If you have a `qenv.yml` file in your project, tsdocker automatically loads and injects those environment variables into your test container.
+```bash
+# Pipe-delimited format (supports DOCKER_REGISTRY_1 through DOCKER_REGISTRY_10)
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_1="registry.gitlab.com|username|password"
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_2="docker.io|username|password"
 
-Example `qenv.yml`:
+# Individual registry format
-
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_URL="registry.gitlab.com"
-```yaml
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_USER="username"
-demoKey: demoValue
+export DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="password"
-API_KEY: your-key-here
 ```
 
-## CLI Commands
+### Docker Config Fallback
 
-### Standard Test Run
+When pushing, tsdocker will also read credentials from `~/.docker/config.json` if no explicit credentials are provided via environment variables. This means `docker login` credentials work automatically.
+
+### Login Command
 
 ```bash
-tsdocker
+tsdocker login
 ```
 
-Runs your configured test command in a fresh Docker container.
+Authenticates with all configured registries using the provided environment variables.
-
-### Clean Docker Environment
-
-```bash
-tsdocker clean --all
-```
-
-⚠️ **WARNING**: This aggressively cleans your Docker environment by:
-
-- Killing all running containers
-- Removing all stopped containers
-- Removing dangling images
-- Removing all images
-- Removing dangling volumes
-
-Use with caution!
-
-### VSCode in Docker
-
-```bash
-tsdocker vscode
-```
-
-Launches a containerized VS Code instance accessible via browser at `testing-vscode.git.zone:8443`.
-
-### Speed Test
-
-```bash
-tsdocker speedtest
-```
-
-Runs a network speed test inside a Docker container.
 
 ## Advanced Usage
 
-### Docker-in-Docker Testing
+### 🔀 Multi-Architecture Builds
 
-If you need to run Docker commands inside your test container (e.g., testing Docker-related tools):
+Build for multiple platforms using Docker Buildx:
+
+```json
+{
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+    "platforms": ["linux/amd64", "linux/arm64"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+tsdocker automatically:
+- Sets up a Buildx builder with `--driver-opt network=host` (so buildx can reach the local registry)
+- Pushes multi-platform images to the local registry via `buildx --push`
+- Copies the full manifest list (including all platform variants) to remote registries on `tsdocker push`
+
+### ⚡ Parallel Builds
+
+Speed up builds by building independent images concurrently:
+
+```bash
+# Default concurrency (4 workers)
+tsdocker build --parallel
+
+# Custom concurrency
+tsdocker build --parallel=8
+
+# Works with caching too
+tsdocker build --parallel --cached
+```
+
+tsdocker groups Dockerfiles into **dependency levels** using topological analysis. Images within the same level have no dependencies on each other and build in parallel. Each level completes before the next begins.
+
+### 📦 Dockerfile Naming Conventions
+
+tsdocker discovers files matching `Dockerfile*`:
+
+| File Name | Version Tag |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `Dockerfile` | `latest` |
+| `Dockerfile_v1.0.0` | `v1.0.0` |
+| `Dockerfile_alpine` | `alpine` |
+| `Dockerfile_##version##` | Uses `package.json` version |
+
+### 🔗 Dependency-Aware Builds
+
+If you have multiple Dockerfiles that depend on each other:
+
+```dockerfile
+# Dockerfile_base
+FROM node:20-alpine
+RUN npm install -g typescript
+
+# Dockerfile_app
+FROM myproject:base
+COPY . .
+RUN npm run build
+```
+
+tsdocker automatically detects that `Dockerfile_app` depends on `Dockerfile_base`, builds them in the correct order, and makes the base image available to dependent builds via the local registry (using `--build-context` for buildx).
+
+### 🧪 Container Test Scripts
+
+Create test scripts in your test directory:
+
+```bash
+# test/test_latest.sh
+#!/bin/bash
+node --version
+npm --version
+echo "Container tests passed!"
+```
+
+Run with:
+
+```bash
+tsdocker test
+```
+
+This builds all images, starts the local registry (so multi-arch images can be pulled), and runs each matching test script inside a container.
+
+### 🔧 Build Args from Environment
+
+Pass environment variables as Docker build arguments:
+
+```json
+{
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+    "buildArgEnvMap": {
+      "NPM_TOKEN": "NPM_TOKEN",
+      "NODE_VERSION": "NODE_VERSION"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```dockerfile
+ARG NPM_TOKEN
+ARG NODE_VERSION=20
+FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}
+RUN echo "//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}" > ~/.npmrc
+```
+
+### 🗺️ Registry Repo Mapping
+
+Use different repository names for different registries:
+
+```json
+{
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+    "registries": ["registry.gitlab.com", "docker.io"],
+    "registryRepoMap": {
+      "registry.gitlab.com": "mygroup/myproject",
+      "docker.io": "myuser/myproject"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When pushing, tsdocker maps the local repo name to the registry-specific path. For example, a locally built `myproject:latest` becomes `registry.gitlab.com/mygroup/myproject:latest` and `docker.io/myuser/myproject:latest`.
+
+### 🐳 Docker-in-Docker Testing
+
+Test Docker-related tools by mounting the Docker socket:
 
 ```json
 {
   "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
     "baseImage": "docker:latest",
-    "command": "docker run hello-world",
+    "command": "docker version && docker ps",
     "dockerSock": true
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Setting `"dockerSock": true` mounts the host's Docker socket into the container.
+### 📋 Listing Dockerfiles
 
-### Custom Base Images
+Inspect your project's Dockerfiles and their relationships:
 
-You can use any Docker image as your base:
+```bash
+tsdocker list
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+Discovered Dockerfiles:
+========================
+
+1. /path/to/Dockerfile_base
+   Tag: myproject:base
+   Base Image: node:20-alpine
+   Version: base
+
+2. /path/to/Dockerfile_app
+   Tag: myproject:app
+   Base Image: myproject:base
+   Version: app
+   Depends on: myproject:base
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Minimal Build & Push
 
 ```json
 {
   "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
-    "baseImage": "node:20-alpine",
+    "registries": ["docker.io"],
-    "command": "npm test"
+    "platforms": ["linux/amd64"]
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Popular choices:
+```bash
+tsdocker push
+```
 
-- `node:20` — Official Node.js images
+### Full Production Setup
-- `node:20-alpine` — Lightweight Alpine-based images
-- `node:lts` — Long-term support Node.js version
 
-### CI Integration
+```json
+{
+  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+    "registries": ["registry.gitlab.com", "ghcr.io", "docker.io"],
+    "registryRepoMap": {
+      "registry.gitlab.com": "myorg/myapp",
+      "ghcr.io": "myorg/myapp",
+      "docker.io": "myuser/myapp"
+    },
+    "buildArgEnvMap": {
+      "NPM_TOKEN": "NPM_TOKEN"
+    },
+    "platforms": ["linux/amd64", "linux/arm64"],
+    "testDir": "./docker-tests"
+  }
+}
+```
 
-tsdocker automatically detects CI environments (via `CI=true` env var) and adjusts behavior:
+### CI/CD Integration
 
-- Copies project files into container in CI (instead of mounting)
+**GitLab CI:**
-- Optimizes for CI execution patterns
 
-## Why tsdocker?
+```yaml
+build-and-push:
+  stage: build
+  script:
+    - npm install -g @git.zone/tsdocker
+    - tsdocker push
+  variables:
+    DOCKER_REGISTRY_1: "registry.gitlab.com|$CI_REGISTRY_USER|$CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD"
+```
 
-### The Problem
+**GitHub Actions:**
 
-Local development environments drift over time. You might have:
+```yaml
+- name: Build and Push
+  run: |
+    npm install -g @git.zone/tsdocker
+    tsdocker login
+    tsdocker push
+  env:
+    DOCKER_REGISTRY_1: "ghcr.io|${{ github.actor }}|${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
+```
 
-- Stale global packages
+## TypeScript API
-- Modified system configurations
-- Cached dependencies
-- Different Node.js versions
 
-Your tests pass locally but fail in CI — or vice versa.
+tsdocker can also be used programmatically:
-
-### The Solution
-
-tsdocker ensures every test run happens in a **clean, reproducible environment**, just like your CI pipeline. This means:
-
-✅ Consistent behavior between local and CI
-✅ No dependency pollution between test runs
-✅ Easy cross-platform testing
-✅ Reproducible bug investigations
-
-## TypeScript Usage
-
-tsdocker is built with TypeScript and provides full type definitions:
 
 ```typescript
-import type { IConfig } from '@git.zone/tsdocker/dist_ts/tsdocker.config.js';
+import { TsDockerManager } from '@git.zone/tsdocker/dist_ts/classes.tsdockermanager.js';
+import type { ITsDockerConfig } from '@git.zone/tsdocker/dist_ts/interfaces/index.js';
 
-const config: IConfig = {
+const config: ITsDockerConfig = {
   baseImage: 'node:20',
   command: 'npm test',
   dockerSock: false,
-  keyValueObject: {
+  keyValueObject: {},
-    NODE_ENV: 'test',
+  registries: ['docker.io'],
-  },
+  platforms: ['linux/amd64', 'linux/arm64'],
 };
+
+const manager = new TsDockerManager(config);
+await manager.prepare();
+await manager.build({ parallel: true });
+await manager.push();
 ```
 
 ## Requirements
 
-- **Docker**: Docker must be installed and accessible via CLI
+- **Docker** — Docker Engine 20+ or Docker Desktop
-- **Node.js**: Version 18 or higher (ESM support required)
+- **Node.js** — Version 18 or higher (for native `fetch` and ESM support)
-
+- **Docker Buildx** — Required for multi-architecture builds (included in Docker Desktop)
-## How It Works
-
-Under the hood, tsdocker:
-
-1. 📋 Reads your `npmextra.json` configuration
-2. 🔍 Optionally loads environment variables from `qenv.yml`
-3. 🐳 Generates a temporary Dockerfile
-4. 🏗️ Builds a Docker image with your base image
-5. 📦 Mounts your project directory (unless in CI)
-6. ▶️ Runs your test command inside the container
-7. 📊 Captures the exit code
-8. 🧹 Cleans up containers and images
-9. ✅ Exits with the same code as your tests
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### "docker not found on this machine"
+### "docker not found"
 
-Make sure Docker is installed and the `docker` command is in your PATH:
+Ensure Docker is installed and in your PATH:
 
 ```bash
 docker --version
 ```
 
-### Tests fail in container but work locally
+### Multi-arch build fails
 
-This often indicates environment-specific issues. Check:
+Make sure Docker Buildx is available. tsdocker will set up the builder automatically, but you can verify:
-
-- Are all dependencies in `package.json`? (not relying on global packages)
-- Does your code have hardcoded paths?
-- Are environment variables set correctly?
-
-### Permission errors with docker.sock
-
-If using `dockerSock: true`, ensure your user has permissions to access `/var/run/docker.sock`:
 
 ```bash
-sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+docker buildx version
-# Then log out and back in
 ```
 
-## Examples
+### Registry authentication fails
 
-### Basic npm test
+Check your environment variables are set correctly:
 
-```json
+```bash
-{
+echo $DOCKER_REGISTRY_1

-### Running pnpm tests
+tsdocker also falls back to `~/.docker/config.json` — ensure you've run `docker login` for your target registries.
 
-```json
+### Circular dependency detected
-{
+
-  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
+Review your Dockerfiles' `FROM` statements — you have images depending on each other in a loop.
-    "baseImage": "node:20",
+
-    "command": "corepack enable && pnpm install && pnpm test"
+### Build context too large
-  }
+
-}
+Use a `.dockerignore` file to exclude `node_modules`, `.git`, `.nogit`, and other large directories:
+
+```
+node_modules
+.git
+.nogit
+dist_ts
 ```
 
-### Testing Docker-based tools
+## Migration from Legacy
 
-```json
+Previously published as `npmdocker`, now `@git.zone/tsdocker`:
-{
-  "@git.zone/tsdocker": {
-    "baseImage": "docker:latest",
-    "command": "sh -c 'docker version && docker ps'",
-    "dockerSock": true
-  }
-}
-```
 
-## Performance Tips
+| Old | New |
-
+|-----|-----|
-🚀 **Use specific base images**: `node:20-alpine` is much faster to pull than `node:latest`
+| `npmdocker` command | `tsdocker` command |
-🚀 **Layer caching**: Docker caches image layers — your base image only downloads once
+| `"npmdocker"` config key | `"@git.zone/tsdocker"` config key |
-🚀 **Prune regularly**: Run `docker system prune` periodically to reclaim disk space
+| CommonJS | ESM with `.js` imports |
-
-## Migration from legacy npmdocker
-
-This package was previously published under the `npmdocker` name. It is now available as `@git.zone/tsdocker` with modernized ESM support and updated dependencies.
-
-Key changes:
-- Configuration key changed from `npmdocker` to `@git.zone/tsdocker` in `npmextra.json`
-- CLI command is now `tsdocker` instead of `npmdocker`
-- Full ESM support with `.js` extensions in imports
