+# Coding Standards for npmextra
+
+## Naming Conventions
+- **Interfaces**: Prefix with `I` (e.g., `IAppDataOptions`, `ITestOptions`)
+- **Types**: Prefix with `T` (e.g., `TKeyValueStore`)
+- **Filenames**: Always lowercase (e.g., `npmextra.classes.appdata.ts`)
+- **Module structure**: `npmextra.<type>.<name>.ts` pattern
+
+## Import/Export Patterns
+- Use ES module syntax (`import`/`export`)
+- Import all dependencies through `npmextra.plugins.ts`
+- Reference with full path: `plugins.moduleName.className()`
+- Export all public APIs through `index.ts`
+
+## TypeScript Patterns
+- Use generic types for flexibility (`<T = any>`)
+- Leverage TypeScript utility types from `@tsclass/tsclass`
+- Use async/await for asynchronous operations
+- Use Promises with smartpromise utilities
+
+## Testing Standards
+- Import expect from `@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle`
+- Test files end with `export default tap.start()`
+- Use descriptive test names with `tap.test()`
+- Test file naming: `test.*.ts` pattern
+
+## Code Quality
+- Make focused, goal-oriented changes
+- Preserve necessary complexity
+- Remove redundancy carefully
+- Keep async patterns where they add value
+- No comments unless explicitly requested

+# npmextra Project Overview
+
+## Purpose
+npmextra is a utility library that enhances npm with additional configuration and tool management capabilities. It provides a key-value store for project setups and centralized configuration management through npmextra.json files.
+
+## Tech Stack
+- TypeScript (ES modules)
+- Node.js
+- Dependencies:
+  - @push.rocks/qenv - Environment variable management
+  - @push.rocks/smartfile - File system operations
+  - @push.rocks/smartjson - JSON handling
+  - @push.rocks/smartlog - Logging
+  - @push.rocks/smartpath - Path utilities
+  - @push.rocks/smartpromise - Promise utilities
+  - @push.rocks/smartrx - Reactive programming
+  - @push.rocks/taskbuffer - Task management
+  - @tsclass/tsclass - TypeScript utilities
+
+## Main Components
+1. **Npmextra** - Main class for managing npmextra.json configurations
+2. **KeyValueStore** - Persistent key-value storage system
+3. **AppData** - Advanced data management with environment variable mapping
+
+## Project Structure
+- `ts/` - TypeScript source files
+- `test/` - Test files using @git.zone/tstest
+- `dist_ts/` - Compiled JavaScript output
+- `npmextra.json` - Project configuration
+- `package.json` - Node.js package configuration

.serena/memories/suggested_commands.md

@@ -0,0 +1,31 @@
+# Suggested Commands for npmextra Development
+
+## Build Commands
+- `pnpm run build` - Build the TypeScript project (uses tsbuild)
+- `pnpm test` - Run tests using tstest
+
+## Development Commands
+- `pnpm install` - Install dependencies
+- `pnpm install --save-dev <package>` - Add development dependencies  
+- `tsx <script>` - Run TypeScript files directly (tsx is globally available)
+
+## Git Commands
+- `git status` - Check current changes
+- `git add .` - Stage changes
+- `git commit -m "message"` - Commit changes (only when explicitly requested)
+- `git mv` - Move/rename files to preserve history
+
+## Testing
+- `pnpm test` - Run all tests
+- `tstest test/test.some.ts --verbose` - Run specific test file
+- Tests use @git.zone/tstest framework with tap-based structure
+
+## Type Checking
+- `pnpm run build` - Type check and build the project
+- `tsbuild check test/**/* --skiplibcheck` - Type check test files only
+
+## Directory Structure
+- Source code in `ts/` directory
+- Tests in `test/` directory  
+- Built output in `dist_ts/` directory
+- Temporary/debug files in `.nogit/` directory

+```bash
+# Using npm
+npm install @push.rocks/npmextra --save
 
-## Usage
+# Using pnpm (recommended)
+pnpm add @push.rocks/npmextra
+```
 
-Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+## Overview 🎯
 
-## Using npmextra for managing toolconfigs
+`@push.rocks/npmextra` is your Swiss Army knife for npm project configuration. It eliminates configuration sprawl by centralizing tool settings, providing intelligent key-value storage, and offering powerful environment variable mapping with automatic type conversions.
 
-The main purpose of npmextra is to configure different tools using one npmextra.json. This way complex setups avoid additional complexity caused by too many configuration files.
+### Why npmextra? 
 
-npmextra.json
+- **🎛️ Centralized Configuration**: Manage all your tool configs in one `npmextra.json` file
+- **💾 Persistent Storage**: Smart key-value store with multiple storage strategies
+- **🔐 Environment Mapping**: Sophisticated env var handling with automatic type conversion
+- **🏗️ TypeScript First**: Full type safety and IntelliSense support
+- **⚡ Zero Config**: Works out of the box with sensible defaults
+- **🔄 Reactive**: Built-in change detection and observables
 
+## Core Concepts 🏗️
+
+### 1. Npmextra Configuration Management
+
+Stop scattering configuration across dozens of files. Centralize everything in `npmextra.json`:
+
+```typescript
+import { Npmextra } from '@push.rocks/npmextra';
+
+// Initialize with current directory
+const npmextra = new Npmextra();
+
+// Or specify a custom path
+const npmextra = new Npmextra('/path/to/project');
+
+// Get merged configuration for any tool
+const eslintConfig = npmextra.dataFor<EslintConfig>('eslint', {
+  // Default values if not in npmextra.json
+  extends: 'standard',
+  rules: {}
+});
+```
+
+**npmextra.json example:**
 ```json
 {
-  "sometool": {
-    "defaultKey1": "awesomeValueFromConfig"
+  "eslint": {
+    "extends": "@company/eslint-config",
+    "rules": {
+      "no-console": "warn"
+    }
+  },
+  "prettier": {
+    "semi": false,
+    "singleQuote": true
   }
 }
 ```
 
-```typescript
-import { Npmextra } from 'npmextra';
+### 2. KeyValueStore - Persistent Data Storage
 
-let myNpmExtra = new Npmextra('my/path/to/cwd'); // cwd argument is optional
-mergedData = myNpmExtra.dataFor('sometool', {
-  // gets merged with whatever is in the configfile
-  defaultKey1: 'defaultValue1', // so this will get overwritten with "awesomeValueFromConfig"
-  defaultKey2: 'defaultValue2', // this one will pass through unaltered
+A flexible key-value store that persists data between script executions:
+
+```typescript
+import { KeyValueStore } from '@push.rocks/npmextra';
+
+interface UserSettings {
+  username: string;
+  apiKey: string;
+  preferences: {
+    theme: 'light' | 'dark';
+    notifications: boolean;
+  };
+}
+
+// Different storage strategies
+const kvStore = new KeyValueStore<UserSettings>({
+  typeArg: 'userHomeDir',  // Store in user's home directory
+  identityArg: 'myApp',
+  mandatoryKeys: ['username', 'apiKey']
+});
+
+// Write operations
+await kvStore.writeKey('username', 'john_doe');
+await kvStore.writeKey('preferences', {
+  theme: 'dark',
+  notifications: true
+});
+
+// Read operations
+const username = await kvStore.readKey('username');
+const allData = await kvStore.readAll();
+
+// Check for missing mandatory keys
+const missingKeys = await kvStore.getMissingMandatoryKeys();
+if (missingKeys.length > 0) {
+  console.log('Missing required configuration:', missingKeys);
+}
+
+// Wait for keys to be present
+await kvStore.waitForKeysPresent(['apiKey']);
+```
+
+**Storage Types:**
+- `userHomeDir`: Store in user's home directory
+- `custom`: Specify your own path
+- `ephemeral`: In-memory only (perfect for testing)
+
+### 3. AppData - Advanced Environment Management 🌟
+
+The crown jewel of npmextra - sophisticated environment variable mapping with automatic type conversion:
+
+```typescript
+import { AppData } from '@push.rocks/npmextra';
+
+interface AppConfig {
+  apiUrl: string;
+  apiKey: string;
+  port: number;
+  features: {
+    analytics: boolean;
+    payment: boolean;
+  };
+  cache: {
+    ttl: number;
+    redis: {
+      host: string;
+      password: string;
+    };
+  };
+}
+
+const appData = await AppData.createAndInit<AppConfig>({
+  dirPath: '/app/config',  // Optional: defaults to smart path selection
+  requiredKeys: ['apiKey', 'apiUrl'],
+  envMapping: {
+    apiUrl: 'API_URL',                    // Simple mapping
+    apiKey: 'hard:development-key-123',   // Hardcoded value
+    port: 'hard:3000',                     // Hardcoded number
+    features: {
+      analytics: 'boolean:ENABLE_ANALYTICS',  // Force boolean conversion
+      payment: 'hard_boolean:true'            // Hardcoded boolean
+    },
+    cache: {
+      ttl: 'json:CACHE_CONFIG',  // Parse JSON from env var
+      redis: {
+        host: 'REDIS_HOST',
+        password: 'base64:REDIS_PASSWORD_B64'  // Decode base64
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  overwriteObject: {
+    // Force these values regardless of env vars
+    port: 8080
+  }
+});
+
+const store = await appData.getKvStore();
+const apiUrl = await store.readKey('apiUrl');
+```
+
+## AppData Special Cases & Conversions 🎯
+
+### Environment Variable Prefixes
+
+AppData supports sophisticated type conversion through prefixes:
+
+| Prefix | Description | Example | Result |
+|--------|-------------|---------|--------|
+| `hard:` | Hardcoded value | `hard:myvalue` | `"myvalue"` |
+| `hard_boolean:` | Hardcoded boolean | `hard_boolean:true` | `true` |
+| `hard_json:` | Hardcoded JSON | `hard_json:{"key":"value"}` | `{key: "value"}` |
+| `hard_base64:` | Hardcoded base64 | `hard_base64:SGVsbG8=` | `"Hello"` |
+| `boolean:` | Env var as boolean | `boolean:FEATURE_FLAG` | `true/false` |
+| `json:` | Parse env var as JSON | `json:CONFIG_JSON` | Parsed object |
+| `base64:` | Decode env var from base64 | `base64:SECRET_B64` | Decoded string |
+
+### Automatic Suffix Detection
+
+Variables ending with certain suffixes get automatic conversion:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  envMapping: {
+    // Automatically parsed as JSON if MY_CONFIG_JSON="{"enabled":true}"
+    config: 'MY_CONFIG_JSON',
+    
+    // Automatically decoded from base64 if SECRET_KEY_BASE64="SGVsbG8="
+    secret: 'SECRET_KEY_BASE64'
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Complex Examples
+
+```typescript
+const appData = await AppData.createAndInit({
+  envMapping: {
+    // Simple environment variable
+    apiUrl: 'API_URL',
+    
+    // Hardcoded values with type conversion
+    debugMode: 'hard_boolean:false',
+    maxRetries: 'hard:5',
+    defaultConfig: 'hard_json:{"timeout":30,"retries":3}',
+    
+    // Environment variables with conversion
+    features: 'json:FEATURE_FLAGS',  // Expects: {"feature1":true,"feature2":false}
+    isProduction: 'boolean:IS_PROD', // Expects: "true" or "false"
+    apiSecret: 'base64:API_SECRET',  // Expects: base64 encoded string
+    
+    // Nested structures
+    database: {
+      host: 'DB_HOST',
+      port: 'hard:5432',
+      credentials: {
+        user: 'DB_USER',
+        password: 'base64:DB_PASSWORD_ENCODED',
+        ssl: 'boolean:DB_USE_SSL'
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  
+  // Override any env mappings
+  overwriteObject: {
+    debugMode: true,  // Force debug mode regardless of env
+    database: {
+      host: 'localhost'  // Force localhost for development
+    }
+  }
 });
 ```

-- [npmci](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npmci)
-- [npmdocker](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npmdocker)
+AppData intelligently handles boolean conversions:
 
-## Using the KeyValueStore
+1. **String "true"/"false"**: Converted to boolean
+2. **With `boolean:` prefix**: Any env var value is converted (`"true"` → `true`, anything else → `false`)
+3. **With `hard_boolean:` prefix**: Hardcoded boolean value
+4. **Regular env vars**: Strings remain strings unless prefixed
 
+```typescript
+// Environment: FEATURE_A="true", FEATURE_B="yes", FEATURE_C="1"
+{
+  envMapping: {
+    featureA: 'FEATURE_A',           // Result: "true" (string)
+    featureB: 'boolean:FEATURE_B',   // Result: false (only "true" → true)
+    featureC: 'boolean:FEATURE_C',   // Result: false (only "true" → true)
+    featureD: 'hard_boolean:true'    // Result: true (hardcoded)
+  }
+}
+```
 
-## Contribution
+## Advanced Patterns 🎨
 
-We are always happy for code contributions. If you are not the code contributing type that is ok. Still, maintaining Open Source repositories takes considerable time and thought. If you like the quality of what we do and our modules are useful to you we would appreciate a little monthly contribution: You can [contribute one time](https://lossless.link/contribute-onetime) or [contribute monthly](https://lossless.link/contribute). :)
+### Reactive Configuration
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme.
+Subscribe to configuration changes:
 
-> MIT licensed | **&copy;** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh)
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
+```typescript
+const kvStore = new KeyValueStore<Config>({
+  typeArg: 'custom',
+  identityArg: 'myApp'
+});
 
-[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com)
+// Subscribe to changes
+kvStore.changeSubject.subscribe((newData) => {
+  console.log('Configuration changed:', newData);
+});
+
+// Changes trigger notifications
+await kvStore.writeKey('theme', 'dark');
+```
+
+### Testing with Ephemeral Storage
+
+Perfect for unit tests - no file system pollution:
+
+```typescript
+const testStore = new KeyValueStore<TestData>({
+  typeArg: 'ephemeral',
+  identityArg: 'test'
+});
+
+// All operations work normally, but nothing persists to disk
+await testStore.writeKey('testKey', 'testValue');
+```
+
+### Smart Path Resolution
+
+AppData automatically selects the best storage location:
+
+1. Checks for `/app/data` (containerized environments)
+2. Falls back to `/data` (alternate container path)
+3. Uses `.nogit/appdata` (local development)
+
+```typescript
+// Automatic path selection
+const appData = await AppData.createAndInit({
+  // No dirPath specified - smart detection
+  requiredKeys: ['apiKey']
+});
+
+// Or force ephemeral for testing
+const testData = await AppData.createAndInit({
+  ephemeral: true,  // No disk persistence
+  requiredKeys: ['testKey']
+});
+```
+
+### Waiting for Configuration
+
+Block until required configuration is available:
+
+```typescript
+const appData = await AppData.createAndInit<Config>({
+  requiredKeys: ['apiKey', 'apiUrl']
+});
+
+// Wait for specific key
+const apiKey = await appData.waitForAndGetKey('apiKey');
+
+// Check missing keys
+const missingKeys = await appData.logMissingKeys();
+// Logs: "The following mandatory keys are missing in the appdata:
+//        -> apiKey,
+//        -> apiUrl"
+```
+
+## Real-World Example 🌍
+
+Here's a complete example of a CLI tool using npmextra:
+
+```typescript
+import { Npmextra, AppData, KeyValueStore } from '@push.rocks/npmextra';
+
+interface CliConfig {
+  githubToken: string;
+  openaiKey: string;
+  model: 'gpt-3' | 'gpt-4';
+  cache: {
+    enabled: boolean;
+    ttl: number;
+  };
+}
+
+class MyCLI {
+  private npmextra: Npmextra;
+  private appData: AppData<CliConfig>;
+  private cache: KeyValueStore<{[key: string]: any}>;
+
+  async initialize() {
+    // Load tool configuration
+    this.npmextra = new Npmextra();
+    const config = this.npmextra.dataFor<any>('mycli', {
+      defaultModel: 'gpt-3'
+    });
+
+    // Setup app data with env mapping
+    this.appData = await AppData.createAndInit<CliConfig>({
+      requiredKeys: ['githubToken', 'openaiKey'],
+      envMapping: {
+        githubToken: 'GITHUB_TOKEN',
+        openaiKey: 'base64:OPENAI_KEY_ENCODED',
+        model: 'hard:gpt-4',
+        cache: {
+          enabled: 'boolean:ENABLE_CACHE',
+          ttl: 'hard:3600'
+        }
+      }
+    });
+
+    // Initialize cache
+    this.cache = new KeyValueStore({
+      typeArg: 'userHomeDir',
+      identityArg: 'mycli-cache'
+    });
+
+    // Check for missing configuration
+    const missingKeys = await this.appData.logMissingKeys();
+    if (missingKeys.length > 0) {
+      console.error('Please configure the missing keys');
+      process.exit(1);
+    }
+  }
+
+  async run() {
+    await this.initialize();
+    
+    const config = await this.appData.getKvStore();
+    const settings = await config.readAll();
+    
+    console.log(`Using model: ${settings.model}`);
+    console.log(`Cache enabled: ${settings.cache.enabled}`);
+    
+    // Use the configuration...
+  }
+}
+
+// Run the CLI
+const cli = new MyCLI();
+cli.run();
+```
