 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-08-28 - 3.1.0 - feat(daemon)
+Reorganize and refactor core into client/daemon/shared modules; add IPC protocol and tests
+
+- Reorganized core code: split daemon and client logic into ts/daemon and ts/client directories
+- Moved process management into ProcessManager, ProcessMonitor and ProcessWrapper under ts/daemon
+- Added a dedicated IPC client and service manager under ts/client (tspm.ipcclient, tspm.servicemanager)
+- Introduced shared protocol and error handling: ts/shared/protocol/ipc.types.ts, protocol.version.ts and ts/shared/common/utils.errorhandler.ts
+- Updated CLI to import Logger from shared/common utils and updated related helpers
+- Added daemon entrypoint at ts/daemon/index.ts and reorganized daemon startup/shutdown/heartbeat handling
+- Added test assets (test/testassets/simple-test.ts, simple-script2.ts) and expanded test files under test/
+- Removed legacy top-level class files (classes.*) in favor of the new structured layout
+
+## 2025-08-28 - 3.0.2 - fix(daemon)
+Ensure TSPM runtime dir exists and improve daemon startup/debug output
+
+- Create ~/.tspm directory before starting the daemon to avoid missing-directory errors
+- Start daemon child process with stdio inherited when TSPM_DEBUG=true to surface startup errors during debugging
+- Add warning and troubleshooting guidance when daemon process starts but does not respond (suggest checking socket file and using TSPM_DEBUG)
+- Bump package version to 3.0.1
+
+## 2025-08-28 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(daemon)
+Refactor daemon and service management: remove IPC auto-spawn, add TspmServiceManager, tighten IPC/client/CLI behavior and tests
+
+- Remove automatic daemon spawn from the IPC client — clients now error with guidance and require the daemon to be started manually or enabled as a system service
+- Add TspmServiceManager to manage the daemon as a systemd service (enable/disable/reload/status)
+- Update IPC server/client to use SmartIpc.createServer/createClient with heartbeat defaults and explicit onMessage handlers
+- Daemon publishes per-process logs to topics (logs.<processId>) and re-emits ProcessMonitor logs for pub/sub
+- CLI updated: add enable/disable service commands, adjust daemon start/stop/status workflows and improve user hints when daemon is not running
+- Add/adjust integration and unit tests to cover daemon lifecycle, IPC client behavior, log streaming, heartbeat and resource reporting
+- Documentation expanded (README, readme.plan.md, changelog) to reflect the refactor and migration notes
+- Various code cleanups, formatting fixes and defensive checks across modules
+
+## 2025-08-28 - 2.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(daemon)
+
+Refactor daemon lifecycle and service management: remove IPC auto-spawn, add TspmServiceManager and CLI enable/disable
+
+- Do not auto-spawn the daemon from the IPC client anymore — attempts to connect will now error with instructions to start the daemon manually or enable the system service (breaking change).
+- Add TspmServiceManager to manage the daemon as a systemd service via smartdaemon (enable/disable/reload/status helpers).
+- CLI: add 'enable' and 'disable' commands to install/uninstall the daemon as a system service and add 'daemon start-service' entrypoint used by systemd.
+- CLI: improve error handling and user hints when the daemon is not running (suggests `tspm daemon start` or `tspm enable`).
+- IPC client: removed startDaemon() and related auto-reconnect/start logic; request() no longer auto-reconnects or implicitly start the daemon.
+- Export TspmServiceManager from the package index so service management is part of the public API.
+- Updated development plan/readme (readme.plan.md) to reflect the refactor toward proper SmartDaemon integration and migration notes.
+
+## 2025-08-26 - 1.8.0 - feat(daemon)
+
+Add real-time log streaming and pub/sub: daemon publishes per-process logs, IPC client subscribe/unsubscribe, CLI --follow streaming, and sequencing for logs
+
+- Upgrade @push.rocks/smartipc dependency to ^2.1.2
+- Daemon: initialize SmartIpc server with heartbeat and publish process logs to topic `logs.<processId>`; write PID file and start heartbeat monitoring
+- Tspm: re-emit monitor log events as 'process:log' so daemon can broadcast logs
+- ProcessWrapper: include seq and runId on IProcessLog entries and maintain nextSeq/runId (adds sequencing to logs); default log buffer size applied
+- TspmIpcClient: improved connect options (retries, timeouts, heartbeat handling), add subscribe/unsubscribe for real-time logs, and use SmartIpc.waitForServer when starting daemon
+- CLI: add --follow flag to `logs` command to stream live logs, detect sequence gaps/duplicates, and handle graceful cleanup on Ctrl+C
+- ProcessMonitor: now extends EventEmitter and re-emits process logs for upstream consumption
+- Standardized heartbeat and IPC timing defaults (heartbeatInterval: 5000ms, heartbeatTimeout: 20000ms, heartbeatInitialGracePeriodMs: 10000ms)
+
+## 2025-08-25 - 1.7.0 - feat(readme)
+
+Add comprehensive README with detailed usage, command reference, daemon management, architecture and development instructions
+
+- Expanded README from a short placeholder to a full documentation covering: Quick Start, Installation, Command Reference, Daemon Management, Monitoring & Information, Batch Operations, Architecture, Programmatic Usage, Advanced Features, Development, Debugging, Performance, and Legal information
+- Included usage examples and CLI command reference for start/stop/restart/delete/list/describe/logs and batch/daemon commands
+- Added human-friendly memory formatting and examples, process and daemon status outputs, and programmatic TypeScript usage snippet
+- Improved onboarding instructions: cloning, installing, testing, building, and running the project
+
+## 2025-08-25 - 1.6.1 - fix(daemon)
+
+Fix smartipc integration and add daemon/ipc integration tests
+
+- Replace direct smartipc server/client construction with SmartIpc.createServer/createClient and set heartbeat: false
+- Switch IPC handler registration to use onMessage and add explicit Request/Response typing for handlers
+- Update IPC client to use SmartIpc.createClient and improve daemon start/connect logic
+- Add comprehensive tests: unit tests for TspmDaemon and TspmIpcClient and full integration tests for daemon lifecycle, process management, error handling, heartbeat and resource reporting
+
+## 2025-08-25 - 1.6.0 - feat(daemon)
+
+Add central TSPM daemon and IPC client; refactor CLI to use daemon and improve monitoring/error handling
+
+- Add central daemon implementation (ts/classes.daemon.ts) to manage all processes via a single background service and Unix socket.
+- Introduce IPC client and typed IPC contracts (ts/classes.ipcclient.ts, ts/ipc.types.ts) so CLI communicates with the daemon.
+- Refactor CLI to use the daemon for commands (ts/cli.ts): start/stop/restart/delete/list/describe/logs/start-all/stop-all/restart-all and new daemon start/stop/status commands.
+- Enhance process monitoring and wrapping: ProcessMonitor and ProcessWrapper improvements (ts/classes.processmonitor.ts, ts/classes.processwrapper.ts) with better logging, memory checks, and restart behavior.
+- Improve centralized error handling and Logger behavior (ts/utils.errorhandler.ts).
+- Persist and load process configurations via TspmConfig and config storage changes (ts/classes.config.ts, ts/classes.tspm.ts).
+- Bump dependency and devDependency versions and add packageManager entry in package.json.
+- Add ts/daemon entrypoint and export daemon/ipc types from ts/index.ts; add paths for tspm runtime dir (ts/paths.ts).
+- Update tests and test tooling imports (test/test.ts) and adjust commitinfo and readme hints.
+
+## 2025-03-10 - 1.5.1 - fix(core)

+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+TSPM uses a three-tier architecture for maximum reliability:
+
+1. **ProcessWrapper** - Low-level process management with stream handling
+2. **ProcessMonitor** - Adds monitoring, memory limits, and auto-restart logic
+3. **Tspm Core** - High-level orchestration with configuration persistence
+
+The daemon architecture ensures your processes keep running even after you close your terminal. All process communication happens through a robust IPC (Inter-Process Communication) system.
+
+## 🎮 Programmatic Usage
+
+TSPM can also be used as a library in your Node.js applications:
+
+```typescript
+import { Tspm } from '@git.zone/tspm';
+
+const manager = new Tspm();
+
+// Start a process
+const processId = await manager.start({
+  id: 'worker',
+  name: 'Background Worker',
+  command: 'node worker.js',
+  projectDir: process.cwd(),
+  memoryLimitBytes: 512 * 1024 * 1024, // 512MB
+  autorestart: true,
+  watch: false,
+});
+
+// Monitor process
+const info = await manager.getProcessInfo(processId);
+console.log(`Process ${info.id} is ${info.status}`);
+
+// Stop process
+await manager.stop(processId);
+```
+
+## 🔧 Advanced Features
+
+### Memory Limit Enforcement
+
+TSPM tracks memory usage including all child processes spawned by your application. When a process exceeds its memory limit, it's gracefully restarted.
+
+### Process Group Tracking
+
+Using `ps-tree`, TSPM monitors not just your main process but all child processes it spawns, ensuring complete cleanup on stop/restart.
+
+### Intelligent Logging
+
+Logs are buffered and managed efficiently, preventing memory issues from excessive output while ensuring you don't lose important information.
+
+### Graceful Shutdown
+
+Processes receive SIGTERM first, allowing them to clean up. After a timeout, SIGKILL ensures termination.
+
+### Configuration Persistence
+
+Process configurations are saved, allowing you to restart all processes after a system reboot with a single command.
+
+## 🛠️ Development
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://code.foss.global/git.zone/tspm.git
+
+# Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# Run tests
+pnpm test
+
+# Build the project
+pnpm build
+
+# Start development
+pnpm start
+```
+
+## 🐛 Debugging
+
+Enable debug mode for verbose logging:
+
+```bash
+export TSPM_DEBUG=true
+tspm list
+```
+
+## 📊 Performance
+
+TSPM is designed to be lightweight and efficient:
+
+- Minimal CPU overhead (typically < 0.5%)
+- Small memory footprint (~30-50MB for the daemon)
+- Fast process startup and shutdown
+- Efficient log buffering and rotation
+
+## 🤝 Why TSPM?
+
+Unlike general-purpose process managers, TSPM is built specifically for the TypeScript/Node.js ecosystem:
+
+- **TypeScript First** - Written in TypeScript, for TypeScript projects
+- **ESM Native** - Full support for ES modules
+- **Developer Friendly** - Beautiful CLI output and helpful error messages
+- **Production Ready** - Battle-tested memory management and error handling
+- **No Configuration Required** - Sensible defaults that just work
+- **Modern Architecture** - Async/await throughout, no callback hell

+# TSPM Architecture Refactoring Plan
+
+## Current Problems
+The current architecture has several issues that make the codebase confusing:
+
+1. **Flat structure confusion**: All classes are mixed together in the `ts/` directory with a `classes.` prefix naming convention
+2. **Unclear boundaries**: It's hard to tell what code runs in the daemon vs the client
+3. **Misleading naming**: The `Tspm` class is actually the core ProcessManager, not the overall system
+4. **Coupling risk**: Client code could accidentally import daemon internals, bloating bundles
+5. **No architectural enforcement**: Nothing prevents cross-boundary imports
+
+## Goal
+Refactor into a clean 3-folder architecture (daemon/client/shared) with proper separation of concerns and enforced boundaries.
+
+## Key Insights from Architecture Review
+
+### Why This Separation Makes Sense
+After discussion with GPT-5, we identified that:
+
+1. **ProcessManager/Monitor/Wrapper are daemon-only**: These classes actually spawn and manage processes. Clients never need them - they only communicate via IPC.
+
+2. **The client is just an IPC bridge**: The client (CLI and library users) only needs to send messages to the daemon and receive responses. It should never directly manage processes.
+
+3. **Shared should be minimal**: Only the IPC protocol types and pure utilities should be shared. No Node.js APIs, no file system access.
+
+4. **Protocol is the contract**: The IPC types are the only coupling between client and daemon. This allows independent evolution.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Folder Structure
+- **ts/daemon/** - Process orchestration (runs in daemon process only)
+  - Contains all process management logic
+  - Spawns and monitors actual system processes
+  - Manages configuration and state
+  - Never imported by client code
+
+- **ts/client/** - IPC communication (runs in CLI/client process)
+  - Only knows how to talk to the daemon via IPC
+  - Lightweight - no process management logic
+  - What library users import when they use TSPM
+  - Can work in any Node.js environment (or potentially browser)
+
+- **ts/shared/** - Minimal shared contract (protocol & pure utilities)
+  - **protocol/** - IPC request/response types, error codes, version
+  - **common/** - Pure utilities with no environment dependencies
+  - No fs, net, child_process, or Node-specific APIs
+  - Keep as small as possible to minimize coupling
+
+## File Organization Rationale
+
+### What Goes in Daemon
+These files are daemon-only because they actually manage processes:
+- `processmanager.ts` (was Tspm) - Core process orchestration logic
+- `processmonitor.ts` - Monitors memory and restarts processes
+- `processwrapper.ts` - Wraps child processes with logging
+- `tspm.config.ts` - Persists process configurations to disk
+- `tspm.daemon.ts` - Wires everything together, handles IPC requests
+
+### What Goes in Client  
+These files are client-only because they just communicate:
+- `tspm.ipcclient.ts` - Sends requests to daemon via Unix socket
+- `tspm.servicemanager.ts` - Manages systemd service (delegates to smartdaemon)
+- CLI files - Command-line interface that uses the IPC client
+
+### What Goes in Shared
+Only the absolute minimum needed by both:
+- `protocol/ipc.types.ts` - Request/response type definitions
+- `protocol/error.codes.ts` - Standardized error codes
+- `common/utils.errorhandler.ts` - If it's pure (no I/O)
+- Parts of `paths.ts` - Constants like socket path (not OS-specific resolution)
+- Plugin interfaces only (not loading logic)
+
+### Critical Design Decisions
+
+1. **Rename Tspm to ProcessManager**: The class name should reflect what it does
+2. **No process management in shared**: ProcessManager, ProcessMonitor, ProcessWrapper are daemon-only
+3. **Protocol versioning**: Add version to allow client/daemon compatibility
+4. **Enforce boundaries**: Use TypeScript project references to prevent violations
+5. **Control exports**: Package.json exports map ensures library users can't import daemon code
+

+- [ ] Run linter and fix any issues
+- [ ] Commit with message: "refactor(architecture): reorganize into daemon/client/shared structure"
+
+## Benefits After Completion
+
+### Immediate Benefits
+- **Clear separation**: Instantly obvious what runs where (daemon vs client)
+- **Smaller client bundles**: Client code won't accidentally include ProcessMonitor, ProcessWrapper, etc.
+- **Better testing**: Can test client and daemon independently
+- **Cleaner imports**: No more confusing `classes.` prefix on everything
+
+### Architecture Benefits  
+- **Enforced boundaries**: TypeScript project references prevent cross-imports
+- **Protocol as contract**: Client and daemon can evolve independently
+- **Version compatibility**: Protocol versioning allows client/daemon version skew
+- **Security**: Internal daemon errors don't leak to clients over IPC
+
+### Future Benefits
+- **Browser support**: Clean client could potentially work in browser
+- **Embedded mode**: Could add option to run ProcessManager in-process
+- **Plugin system**: Clear boundary for plugin interfaces vs implementation
+- **Multi-language clients**: Other languages only need to implement IPC protocol
+
+## Implementation Safeguards (from GPT-5 Review)
+
+### Boundary Enforcement
+- **TypeScript project references**: Separate tsconfig files prevent illegal imports
+- **ESLint rules**: Use `import/no-restricted-paths` to catch violations
+- **Package.json exports**: Control what external consumers can import
+
+### Keep Shared Minimal
+- **No Node.js APIs**: No fs, net, child_process in shared
+- **No environment access**: No process.env, no OS-specific code
+- **Pure functions only**: Shared utilities must be environment-agnostic
+- **Protocol-focused**: Mainly type definitions and constants
+
+### Prevent Environment Bleed
+- **Split paths.ts**: Constants (shared) vs OS-specific resolution (daemon)
+- **Plugin interfaces only**: Loading/discovery stays in daemon
+- **No dynamic imports**: Keep shared statically analyzable
+
+### Future-Proofing
+- **Protocol versioning**: Add version field for compatibility
+- **Error codes**: Standardized errors instead of string messages
+- **Capability negotiation**: Client can query daemon capabilities
+- **Subpath exports**: Different entry points for different use cases
