+
+## 2025-11-20 - 4.3.0 - feat(listing)
+Add memory-efficient listing APIs: async generator, RxJS observable, and cursor pagination; export ListCursor and Minimatch; add minimatch dependency; bump to 4.2.0
+
+- Added memory-efficient listing methods on Bucket: listAllObjects (async generator), listAllObjectsObservable (RxJS Observable), createCursor (returns ListCursor) and listAllObjectsArray (convenience array collector).
+- New ListCursor class (ts/classes.listcursor.ts) providing page-based iteration: next(), hasMore(), reset(), getToken()/setToken().
+- Added glob matching helper findByGlob(pattern) using minimatch (exported via plugins.Minimatch).
+- Exported ListCursor from ts/index.ts and exported Minimatch via ts/plugins.ts.
+- Added minimatch dependency in package.json and bumped package version to 4.2.0; increased test timeout to 120s.
+- Updated tests to read S3_SECRETKEY, S3_PORT and to assert bucket name from env (test/test.node+deno.ts, test/test.trash.node+deno.ts).
+- No breaking changes: new APIs are additive and existing behavior preserved.
+
+## 2025-11-20 - 4.2.0 - feat(listing)
+Add memory-efficient listing with async generators, RxJS observables, and cursor pagination for huge buckets
+
+**New Memory-Efficient Listing Methods:**
+
+**Async Generator (Recommended for most use cases):**
+- `Bucket.listAllObjects(prefix?)` - Stream object keys one at a time using `for await...of`
+- `Bucket.findByGlob(pattern)` - Find objects matching glob patterns (e.g., `**/*.json`, `npm/packages/*/index.json`)
+- Memory efficient, supports early termination, composable
+
+**RxJS Observable (For complex reactive pipelines):**
+- `Bucket.listAllObjectsObservable(prefix?)` - Emit keys as Observable for use with RxJS operators (filter, map, take, etc.)
+- Perfect for complex data transformations and reactive architectures
+
+**Cursor Pattern (For manual pagination control):**
+- `Bucket.createCursor(prefix?, options?)` - Create cursor for explicit page-by-page iteration
+- `ListCursor.next()` - Fetch next page of results
+- `ListCursor.hasMore()` - Check if more results available
+- `ListCursor.reset()` - Reset to beginning
+- `ListCursor.getToken()` / `ListCursor.setToken()` - Save/restore pagination state
+- Ideal for UI pagination and resumable operations
+
+**Convenience Methods:**
+- `Bucket.listAllObjectsArray(prefix?)` - Collect all keys into array (WARNING: loads all into memory)
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Memory-efficient streaming for buckets with millions of objects
+- ✅ Three patterns for different use cases (generators, observables, cursors)
+- ✅ Support for early termination and incremental processing
+- ✅ Glob pattern matching with minimatch
+- ✅ Full TypeScript support with proper types
+- ✅ Zero breaking changes - all new methods
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- Added `minimatch` for glob pattern support
+
+**Files Changed:**
+- `ts/classes.bucket.ts` - Added all listing methods
+- `ts/classes.listcursor.ts` - NEW: Cursor implementation
+- `ts/plugins.ts` - Export Minimatch
+- `ts/index.ts` - Export ListCursor
+- `test/test.listing.node+deno.ts` - NEW: Comprehensive listing tests
+- `package.json` - Added minimatch dependency
+
+## 2025-11-20 - 4.1.0 - feat(core)
+Add S3 endpoint normalization, directory pagination, improved metadata checks, trash support, and related tests
+
+- Add normalizeS3Descriptor helper to sanitize and normalize various S3 endpoint formats and emit warnings for mismatches (helpers.ts).
+- Use normalized endpoint and credentials when constructing S3 client in SmartBucket (classes.smartbucket.ts).
+- Implement paginated listing helper listObjectsV2AllPages in Directory and use it for listFiles and listDirectories to aggregate Contents and CommonPrefixes across pages (classes.directory.ts).
+- Improve MetaData.hasMetaData to catch NotFound errors and return false instead of throwing (classes.metadata.ts).
+- Export metadata and trash modules from index (ts/index.ts) and add a Trash class with utilities for trashed files and key encoding (classes.trash.ts).
+- Enhance Bucket operations: fastCopy now preserves or replaces native metadata correctly, cleanAllContents supports paginated deletion, and improved fastExists error handling (classes.bucket.ts).
+- Fix Directory.getSubDirectoryByName to construct new Directory instances with the correct parent directory reference.
+- Add tests covering metadata absence and pagination behavior (test/test.local.node+deno.ts).
+
+## 2025-11-20 - 4.0.1 - fix(plugins)
+Use explicit node: imports for native path and stream modules in ts/plugins.ts
+
+- Replaced imports of 'path' and 'stream' with 'node:path' and 'node:stream' in ts/plugins.ts.
+- Ensures correct ESM resolution of Node built-ins when package.json type is 'module' and avoids accidental conflicts with userland packages.
+
+## 2025-11-20 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(core)
+Make API strict-by-default: remove *Strict variants, throw on not-found/exists conflicts, add explicit exists() methods, update docs/tests and bump deps
+
+- Breaking: Core API methods are strict by default and now throw errors instead of returning null when targets are missing or already exist (e.g. getBucketByName, getFile, getSubDirectoryByName, fastPut, fastPutStream).
+- Removed *Strict variants: fastPutStrict, getBucketByNameStrict, getFileStrict, getSubDirectoryByNameStrict — use the base methods which are now strict.
+- Added explicit existence checks: bucketExists (SmartBucket), fileExists (Directory/fileExists), directoryExists (Directory.directoryExists), and fastExists (Bucket.fastExists) to allow non-throwing checks before operations.
+- Return type updates: fastPut now returns Promise<File> (no null), getBucketByName/getFile/getSubDirectoryByName now return the respective objects or throw.
+- Improved error messages to guide callers (e.g. suggest setting overwrite:true on fastPut when object exists).
+- Updated README, changelog and tests to reflect the new strict semantics and usage patterns.
+- Developer/runtime dependency bumps: @git.zone/tsbuild, @git.zone/tsrun, @git.zone/tstest, @aws-sdk/client-s3, @push.rocks/smartstring, @tsclass/tsclass (version bumps recorded in package.json).
+- Major version bump to 4.0.0 to reflect breaking API changes.
+
+## 2025-11-20 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING: Strict by default + exists methods
+Complete API overhaul: all methods throw by default, removed all *Strict variants, added dedicated exists methods
+
+**Breaking Changes:**
+
+**Putters (Write Operations):**
+- `fastPut`: Return type `Promise<File | null>` → `Promise<File>`, throws when file exists and overwrite is false
+- `fastPutStream`: Now throws when file exists and overwrite is false (previously returned silently)
+- `fastPutStrict`: **Removed** - use `fastPut` directly
+
+**Getters (Read Operations):**
+- `getBucketByName`: Return type `Promise<Bucket | null>` → `Promise<Bucket>`, throws when bucket not found
+- `getBucketByNameStrict`: **Removed** - use `getBucketByName` directly
+- `getFile`: Return type `Promise<File | null>` → `Promise<File>`, throws when file not found
+- `getFileStrict`: **Removed** - use `getFile` directly
+- `getSubDirectoryByName`: Return type `Promise<Directory | null>` → `Promise<Directory>`, throws when directory not found
+- `getSubDirectoryByNameStrict`: **Removed** - use `getSubDirectoryByName` directly
+
+**New Methods (Existence Checks):**
+- `bucket.fastExists({ path })` - ✅ Already existed
+- `directory.fileExists({ path })` - **NEW** - Check if file exists
+- `directory.directoryExists(name)` - **NEW** - Check if subdirectory exists
+- `smartBucket.bucketExists(name)` - **NEW** - Check if bucket exists
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ **Simpler API**: Removed 4 redundant *Strict methods
+- ✅ **Type-safe**: No nullable returns - `Promise<T>` not `Promise<T | null>`
+- ✅ **Fail-fast**: Errors throw immediately with precise stack traces
+- ✅ **Consistent**: All methods behave the same way
+- ✅ **Explicit**: Use exists() to check, then get() to retrieve
+- ✅ **Better debugging**: Error location is always precise
+
+**Migration Guide:**

+  // use bucket
+}
+
+// After (v4.0):
+if (await smartBucket.bucketExists('my-bucket')) {
+  const bucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('my-bucket'); // guaranteed to exist
+  // use bucket
+}
+
+// ============================================
+// Pattern 2: Try/Catch
+// ============================================
+
+// Before (v3.x):
+const file = await directory.getFile({ path: 'file.txt' });
+if (!file) {
+  // Handle not found
+}
+
+// After (v4.0):
+try {
+  const file = await directory.getFile({ path: 'file.txt' });
+  // use file
+} catch (error) {
+  // Handle not found
+}
+
+// ============================================
+// Pattern 3: Remove *Strict calls
+// ============================================
+
+// Before (v3.x):
+const file = await directory.getFileStrict({ path: 'file.txt' });
+
+// After (v4.0):
+const file = await directory.getFile({ path: 'file.txt' }); // already strict
+
+// ============================================
+// Pattern 4: Write Operations
+// ============================================
+
+// Before (v3.x):
+const file = await bucket.fastPutStrict({ path: 'file.txt', contents: 'data' });
+
+// After (v4.0):
+const file = await bucket.fastPut({ path: 'file.txt', contents: 'data' }); // already strict

+
+### 🏁 Getting Started
+
+First, set up your storage connection:
+
+```typescript
+import { SmartBucket } from '@push.rocks/smartbucket';
+
+// Initialize with your cloud storage credentials
+const smartBucket = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: 'your-access-key',
+  accessSecret: 'your-secret-key',
+  endpoint: 's3.amazonaws.com', // Or your provider's endpoint
+  port: 443,
+  useSsl: true,
+  region: 'us-east-1' // Optional, defaults to 'us-east-1'
+});
+```
+
+**For MinIO or self-hosted S3:**
+```typescript
+const smartBucket = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: 'minioadmin',
+  accessSecret: 'minioadmin',
+  endpoint: 'localhost',
+  port: 9000,
+  useSsl: false // MinIO often runs without SSL locally
+});
+```
+
+### 🗂️ Working with Buckets
+
+#### Creating Buckets
+
+```typescript
+// Create a new bucket
+const myBucket = await smartBucket.createBucket('my-awesome-bucket');
+console.log(`✅ Bucket created: ${myBucket.name}`);
+```
+
+#### Getting Existing Buckets
+
+```typescript
+// Get a bucket reference (throws if not found - strict by default!)
+const existingBucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('existing-bucket');
+
+// Check first, then get (non-throwing approach)
+if (await smartBucket.bucketExists('maybe-exists')) {
+  const bucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('maybe-exists');
+  console.log('✅ Found bucket:', bucket.name);
+}
+```
+
+#### Removing Buckets
+
+```typescript
+// Delete a bucket (must be empty)
+await smartBucket.removeBucket('old-bucket');
+console.log('🗑️ Bucket removed');
+```
+
+### 📁 File Operations
+
+#### Upload Files
+
+```typescript
+const bucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('my-bucket');
+
+// Simple file upload (returns File object)
+const file = await bucket.fastPut({
+  path: 'documents/report.pdf',
+  contents: Buffer.from('Your file content here')
+});
+console.log('✅ Uploaded:', file.path);
+
+// Upload with string content
+await bucket.fastPut({
+  path: 'notes/todo.txt',
+  contents: 'Buy milk\nCall mom\nRule the world'
+});
+
+// Upload with overwrite control
+const uploadedFile = await bucket.fastPut({
+  path: 'images/logo.png',
+  contents: imageBuffer,
+  overwrite: true // Set to true to replace existing files
+});
+
+// Error handling: fastPut throws if file exists and overwrite is false
+try {
+  await bucket.fastPut({
+    path: 'existing-file.txt',
+    contents: 'new content'
+  });
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('❌ Upload failed:', error.message);
+  // Error: Object already exists at path 'existing-file.txt' in bucket 'my-bucket'.
+  // Set overwrite:true to replace it.
+}
+```
+
+#### Download Files
+
+```typescript
+// Get file as Buffer
+const fileContent = await bucket.fastGet({
+  path: 'documents/report.pdf'
+});
+console.log(`📄 File size: ${fileContent.length} bytes`);
+
+// Get file as string
+const textContent = fileContent.toString('utf-8');
+
+// Parse JSON files directly
+const jsonData = JSON.parse(fileContent.toString());
+```
+
+#### Check File Existence
+
+```typescript
+const exists = await bucket.fastExists({
+  path: 'documents/report.pdf'
+});
+console.log(`File exists: ${exists ? '✅' : '❌'}`);
+```
+
+#### Delete Files
+
+```typescript
+// Permanent deletion
+await bucket.fastRemove({
+  path: 'old-file.txt'
+});
+console.log('🗑️ File deleted permanently');
+```
+
+#### Copy & Move Files
+
+```typescript
+// Copy file within bucket
+await bucket.fastCopy({
+  sourcePath: 'original/file.txt',
+  destinationPath: 'backup/file-copy.txt'
+});
+console.log('📋 File copied');
+
+// Move file (copy + delete original)
+await bucket.fastMove({
+  sourcePath: 'temp/draft.txt',
+  destinationPath: 'final/document.txt'
+});
+console.log('📦 File moved');
+```
+
+### 📋 Memory-Efficient Listing
+
+SmartBucket provides three powerful patterns for listing objects, optimized for handling **millions of files** efficiently:
+
+#### Async Generators (Recommended) ⭐
+
+Memory-efficient streaming using native JavaScript async iteration:
+
+```typescript
+// List all objects with prefix - streams one at a time!
+for await (const key of bucket.listAllObjects('documents/')) {
+  console.log(`📄 Found: ${key}`);
+
+  // Process each file individually (memory efficient!)
+  const content = await bucket.fastGet({ path: key });
+  processFile(content);
+
+  // Early termination support
+  if (shouldStop()) break;
+}
+
+// List all objects (no prefix)
+const allKeys: string[] = [];
+for await (const key of bucket.listAllObjects()) {
+  allKeys.push(key);
+}
+
+// Find objects matching glob patterns
+for await (const key of bucket.findByGlob('**/*.json')) {
+  console.log(`📦 JSON file: ${key}`);
+}
+
+// Complex glob patterns
+for await (const key of bucket.findByGlob('npm/packages/*/index.json')) {
+  // Matches: npm/packages/foo/index.json, npm/packages/bar/index.json
+  console.log(`📦 Package index: ${key}`);
+}
+
+// More glob examples
+for await (const key of bucket.findByGlob('logs/**/*.log')) {
+  console.log('📋 Log file:', key);
+}
+
+for await (const key of bucket.findByGlob('images/*.{jpg,png,gif}')) {
+  console.log('🖼️  Image:', key);
+}
+```
+
+**Why use async generators?**
+- ✅ Processes one item at a time (constant memory usage)
+- ✅ Supports early termination with `break`
+- ✅ Native JavaScript - no dependencies
+- ✅ Perfect for large buckets with millions of objects
+- ✅ Works seamlessly with `for await...of` loops
+
+#### RxJS Observables
+
+Perfect for reactive pipelines and complex data transformations:
+
+```typescript
+import { filter, take, map } from 'rxjs/operators';
+
+// Stream keys as Observable with powerful operators
+bucket.listAllObjectsObservable('logs/')
+  .pipe(
+    filter(key => key.endsWith('.log')),
+    take(100),
+    map(key => ({ key, timestamp: Date.now() }))
+  )
+  .subscribe({
+    next: (item) => console.log(`📋 Log file: ${item.key}`),
+    error: (err) => console.error('❌ Error:', err),
+    complete: () => console.log('✅ Listing complete')
+  });
+
+// Simple subscription without operators
+bucket.listAllObjectsObservable('data/')
+  .subscribe({
+    next: (key) => processKey(key),
+    complete: () => console.log('✅ Done')
+  });
+
+// Combine with other observables
+import { merge } from 'rxjs';
+
+const logs$ = bucket.listAllObjectsObservable('logs/');
+const backups$ = bucket.listAllObjectsObservable('backups/');
+
+merge(logs$, backups$)
+  .pipe(filter(key => key.includes('2024')))
+  .subscribe(key => console.log('📅 2024 file:', key));
+```
+
+**Why use observables?**
+- ✅ Rich operator ecosystem (filter, map, debounce, etc.)
+- ✅ Composable with other RxJS streams
+- ✅ Perfect for reactive architectures
+- ✅ Great for complex transformations
+
+#### Cursor Pattern
+
+Explicit pagination control for UI and resumable operations:
+
+```typescript
+// Create cursor with custom page size
+const cursor = bucket.createCursor('uploads/', { pageSize: 100 });
+
+// Fetch pages manually
+while (cursor.hasMore()) {
+  const page = await cursor.next();
+  console.log(`📄 Page has ${page.keys.length} items`);
+
+  for (const key of page.keys) {
+    console.log(`  - ${key}`);
+  }
+
+  if (page.done) {
+    console.log('✅ Reached end');
+    break;
+  }
+}
+
+// Save and restore cursor state (perfect for resumable operations!)
+const token = cursor.getToken();
+// Store token in database or session...
+
+// ... later, in a different request ...
+const newCursor = bucket.createCursor('uploads/', { pageSize: 100 });
+newCursor.setToken(token); // Resume from saved position!
+const nextPage = await cursor.next();
+
+// Reset cursor to start over
+cursor.reset();
+const firstPage = await cursor.next(); // Back to the beginning
+```
+
+**Why use cursors?**
+- ✅ Perfect for UI pagination (prev/next buttons)
+- ✅ Save/restore state for resumable operations
+- ✅ Explicit control over page fetching
+- ✅ Great for implementing "Load More" buttons
+
+#### Convenience Methods
+
+```typescript
+// Collect all keys into array (⚠️ WARNING: loads everything into memory!)
+const allKeys = await bucket.listAllObjectsArray('images/');
+console.log(`📦 Found ${allKeys.length} images`);
+
+// Only use for small result sets
+const smallList = await bucket.listAllObjectsArray('config/');
+if (smallList.length < 100) {
+  // Safe to process in memory
+  smallList.forEach(key => console.log(key));
+}
+```
+
+**Performance Comparison:**
+
+| Method | Memory Usage | Best For | Supports Early Exit |
+|--------|-------------|----------|-------------------|
+| **Async Generator** | O(1) - constant | Most use cases, large datasets | ✅ Yes |
+| **Observable** | O(1) - constant | Reactive pipelines, RxJS apps | ✅ Yes |
+| **Cursor** | O(pageSize) | UI pagination, resumable ops | ✅ Yes |
+| **Array** | O(n) - grows with results | Small datasets (<10k items) | ❌ No |
+
+### 📂 Directory Management
+
+SmartBucket provides powerful directory-like operations for organizing your files:
+
+```typescript
+// Get base directory
+const baseDir = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
+
+// List directories and files
+const directories = await baseDir.listDirectories();
+const files = await baseDir.listFiles();
+
+console.log(`📁 Found ${directories.length} directories`);
+console.log(`📄 Found ${files.length} files`);
+
+// Navigate subdirectories
+const subDir = await baseDir.getSubDirectoryByName('projects/2024');
+
+// Create nested file
+await subDir.fastPut({
+  path: 'report.pdf',
+  contents: reportBuffer
+});
+
+// Get directory tree structure
+const tree = await subDir.getTreeArray();
+console.log('🌳 Directory tree:', tree);
+
+// Get directory path
+console.log('📂 Base path:', subDir.getBasePath()); // "projects/2024/"
+
+// Create empty file as placeholder
+await subDir.createEmptyFile('placeholder.txt');
+```
+
+### 🌊 Streaming Operations
+
+Handle large files efficiently with streaming support:
+
+#### Download Streams
+
+```typescript
+// Node.js stream (for file I/O, HTTP responses, etc.)
+const nodeStream = await bucket.fastGetStream(
+  { path: 'large-video.mp4' },
+  'nodestream'
+);
+
+// Pipe to file
+import * as fs from 'node:fs';
+nodeStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('local-video.mp4'));
+
+// Pipe to HTTP response
+app.get('/download', async (req, res) => {
+  const stream = await bucket.fastGetStream(
+    { path: 'file.pdf' },
+    'nodestream'
+  );
+  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
+  stream.pipe(res);
+});
+
+// Web stream (for modern browser/Deno environments)
+const webStream = await bucket.fastGetStream(
+  { path: 'large-file.zip' },
+  'webstream'
+);
+```
+
+#### Upload Streams
+
+```typescript
+import * as fs from 'node:fs';
+
+// Stream upload from file
+const readStream = fs.createReadStream('big-data.csv');
+await bucket.fastPutStream({
+  path: 'uploads/big-data.csv',
+  stream: readStream,
+  metadata: {
+    contentType: 'text/csv',
+    userMetadata: {
+      uploadedBy: 'data-team',
+      version: '2.0'
+    }
+  }
+});
+console.log('✅ Large file uploaded via stream');
+```
+
+#### Reactive Streams with RxJS
+
+```typescript
+// Get file as ReplaySubject for reactive programming
+const replaySubject = await bucket.fastGetReplaySubject({
+  path: 'data/sensor-readings.json',
+  chunkSize: 1024
+});
+
+// Multiple subscribers can consume the same data
+replaySubject.subscribe({
+  next: (chunk) => processChunk(chunk),
+  complete: () => console.log('✅ Stream complete')
+});
+
+replaySubject.subscribe({
+  next: (chunk) => logChunk(chunk)
+});
+```
+
+### 🔒 File Locking
+
+Prevent concurrent modifications with built-in file locking:
+
+```typescript
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFile({ path: 'important-config.json' });
+
+// Lock file for 10 minutes
+await file.lock({ timeoutMillis: 600000 });
+console.log('🔒 File locked');
+
+// Try to modify locked file (will throw error)
+try {
+  await file.delete();
+} catch (error) {
+  console.log('❌ Cannot delete locked file');
+}
+
+// Check lock status
+const isLocked = await file.isLocked();
+console.log(`Lock status: ${isLocked ? '🔒 Locked' : '🔓 Unlocked'}`);
+
+// Unlock when done
+await file.unlock();
+console.log('🔓 File unlocked');
+```
+
+**Lock use cases:**
+- 🔄 Prevent concurrent writes during critical updates
+- 🔐 Protect configuration files during deployment
+- 🚦 Coordinate distributed workers
+- 🛡️ Ensure data consistency
+
+### 🏷️ Metadata Management
+
+Attach and manage rich metadata for your files:
+
+```typescript
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFile({ path: 'document.pdf' });
+
+// Get metadata handler
+const metadata = await file.getMetaData();
+
+// Set custom metadata
+await metadata.setCustomMetaData({
+  key: 'author',
+  value: 'John Doe'
+});
+
+await metadata.setCustomMetaData({
+  key: 'department',
+  value: 'Engineering'
+});
+
+await metadata.setCustomMetaData({
+  key: 'version',
+  value: '1.0.0'
+});
+
+// Retrieve metadata
+const author = await metadata.getCustomMetaData({ key: 'author' });
+console.log(`📝 Author: ${author}`);
+
+// Get all metadata
+const allMeta = await metadata.getAllCustomMetaData();
+console.log('📋 All metadata:', allMeta);
+// { author: 'John Doe', department: 'Engineering', version: '1.0.0' }
+
+// Check if metadata exists
+const hasMetadata = await metadata.hasMetaData();
+console.log(`Has metadata: ${hasMetadata ? '✅' : '❌'}`);
+```
+
+**Metadata use cases:**
+- 👤 Track file ownership and authorship
+- 🏷️ Add tags and categories for search
+- 📊 Store processing status or workflow state
+- 🔍 Enable rich querying and filtering
+- 📝 Maintain audit trails
+
+### 🗑️ Trash & Recovery
+
+SmartBucket includes an intelligent trash system for safe file deletion and recovery:
+
+```typescript
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFile({ path: 'important-data.xlsx' });
+
+// Move to trash instead of permanent deletion
+await file.delete({ mode: 'trash' });
+console.log('🗑️ File moved to trash (can be restored!)');
+
+// Permanent deletion (use with caution!)
+await file.delete({ mode: 'permanent' });
+console.log('💀 File permanently deleted (cannot be recovered)');
+
+// Access trash
+const trash = await bucket.getTrash();
+const trashDir = await trash.getTrashDir();
+const trashedFiles = await trashDir.listFiles();
+console.log(`📦 ${trashedFiles.length} files in trash`);
+
+// Restore from trash
+const trashedFile = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFile({
+    path: 'important-data.xlsx',
+    getFromTrash: true
+  });
+
+await trashedFile.restore({ useOriginalPath: true });
+console.log('♻️ File restored to original location');
+
+// Or restore to a different location
+await trashedFile.restore({
+  useOriginalPath: false,
+  restorePath: 'recovered/important-data.xlsx'
+});
+console.log('♻️ File restored to new location');
+
+// Empty trash permanently
+await trash.emptyTrash();
+console.log('🧹 Trash emptied');
+```
+
+**Trash features:**
+- ♻️ Recover accidentally deleted files
+- 🏷️ Preserves original path in metadata
+- ⏰ Tracks deletion timestamp
+- 🔍 List and inspect trashed files
+- 🧹 Bulk empty trash operation
+
+### ⚡ Advanced Features
+
+#### File Statistics
+
+```typescript
+// Get detailed file statistics
+const stats = await bucket.fastStat({ path: 'document.pdf' });
+console.log(`📊 Size: ${stats.size} bytes`);
+console.log(`📅 Last modified: ${stats.lastModified}`);
+console.log(`🏷️ ETag: ${stats.etag}`);
+console.log(`🗂️ Storage class: ${stats.storageClass}`);
+```
+
+#### Magic Bytes Detection
+
+Detect file types by examining the first bytes (useful for validation):
+
+```typescript
+// Read first bytes for file type detection
+const magicBytes = await bucket.getMagicBytes({
+  path: 'mystery-file',
+  length: 16
+});
+console.log(`🔮 Magic bytes: ${magicBytes.toString('hex')}`);
+
+// Or from a File object
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFile({ path: 'image.jpg' });
+const magic = await file.getMagicBytes({ length: 4 });
+
+// Check file signatures
+if (magic[0] === 0xFF && magic[1] === 0xD8) {
+  console.log('📸 This is a JPEG image');
+} else if (magic[0] === 0x89 && magic[1] === 0x50) {
+  console.log('🖼️  This is a PNG image');
+}
+```
+
+#### JSON Data Operations
+
+```typescript
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFile({ path: 'config.json' });
+
+// Read JSON data
+const config = await file.getJsonData();
+console.log('⚙️ Config loaded:', config);
+
+// Update JSON data
+config.version = '2.0';
+config.updated = new Date().toISOString();
+config.features.push('newFeature');
+
+await file.writeJsonData(config);
+console.log('💾 Config updated');
+```
+
+#### Directory & File Type Detection
+
+```typescript
+// Check if path is a directory
+const isDir = await bucket.isDirectory({ path: 'uploads/' });
+
+// Check if path is a file
+const isFile = await bucket.isFile({ path: 'uploads/document.pdf' });
+
+console.log(`Is directory: ${isDir ? '📁' : '❌'}`);
+console.log(`Is file: ${isFile ? '📄' : '❌'}`);
+```
+
+#### Clean Bucket Contents
+
+```typescript
+// Remove all files and directories (⚠️ use with caution!)
+await bucket.cleanAllContents();
+console.log('🧹 Bucket cleaned');
+```
+
+### ☁️ Cloud Provider Support
+
+SmartBucket works seamlessly with all major S3-compatible providers:
+
+| Provider | Status | Notes |
+|----------|--------|-------|
+| **AWS S3** | ✅ Full support | Native S3 API |
+| **MinIO** | ✅ Full support | Self-hosted, perfect for development |
+| **DigitalOcean Spaces** | ✅ Full support | Cost-effective S3-compatible |
+| **Backblaze B2** | ✅ Full support | Very affordable storage |
+| **Wasabi** | ✅ Full support | High-performance hot storage |
+| **Google Cloud Storage** | ✅ Full support | Via S3-compatible API |
+| **Cloudflare R2** | ✅ Full support | Zero egress fees |
+| **Any S3-compatible** | ✅ Full support | Works with any S3-compatible provider |
+
+The library automatically handles provider quirks and optimizes operations for each platform while maintaining a consistent API.
+
+**Configuration examples:**
+
+```typescript
+// AWS S3
+const awsStorage = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
+  accessSecret: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
+  endpoint: 's3.amazonaws.com',
+  region: 'us-east-1',
+  useSsl: true
+});
+
+// MinIO (local development)
+const minioStorage = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: 'minioadmin',
+  accessSecret: 'minioadmin',
+  endpoint: 'localhost',
+  port: 9000,
+  useSsl: false
+});
+
+// DigitalOcean Spaces
+const doStorage = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: process.env.DO_SPACES_KEY,
+  accessSecret: process.env.DO_SPACES_SECRET,
+  endpoint: 'nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com',
+  region: 'nyc3',
+  useSsl: true
+});
+
+// Backblaze B2
+const b2Storage = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: process.env.B2_KEY_ID,
+  accessSecret: process.env.B2_APPLICATION_KEY,
+  endpoint: 's3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com',
+  region: 'us-west-002',
+  useSsl: true
+});
+```
+
+### 🔧 Advanced Configuration
+
+```typescript
+// Environment-based configuration with @push.rocks/qenv
+import { Qenv } from '@push.rocks/qenv';
+
+const qenv = new Qenv('./', './.nogit/');
+
+const smartBucket = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: await qenv.getEnvVarOnDemandStrict('S3_ACCESS_KEY'),
+  accessSecret: await qenv.getEnvVarOnDemandStrict('S3_SECRET'),
+  endpoint: await qenv.getEnvVarOnDemandStrict('S3_ENDPOINT'),
+  port: parseInt(await qenv.getEnvVarOnDemandStrict('S3_PORT')),
+  useSsl: await qenv.getEnvVarOnDemandStrict('S3_USE_SSL') === 'true',
+  region: await qenv.getEnvVarOnDemandStrict('S3_REGION')
+});
+```
+
+### 🧪 Testing
+
+SmartBucket is thoroughly tested with 82 comprehensive tests covering all features:
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pnpm test
+
+# Run specific test file
+pnpm tstest test/test.listing.node+deno.ts --verbose
+
+# Run tests with log file
+pnpm test --logfile
+```
+
+### 🛡️ Error Handling Best Practices
+
+SmartBucket uses a **strict-by-default** approach - methods throw errors instead of returning null:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good: Check existence first
+if (await bucket.fastExists({ path: 'file.txt' })) {
+  const content = await bucket.fastGet({ path: 'file.txt' });
+  process(content);
+}
+
+// ✅ Good: Try/catch for expected failures
+try {
+  const file = await bucket.fastGet({ path: 'might-not-exist.txt' });
+  process(file);
+} catch (error) {
+  console.log('File not found, using default');
+  useDefault();
+}
+
+// ✅ Good: Explicit overwrite control
+try {
+  await bucket.fastPut({
+    path: 'existing-file.txt',
+    contents: 'new data',
+    overwrite: false // Explicitly fail if exists
+  });
+} catch (error) {
+  console.log('File already exists');
+}
+
+// ❌ Bad: Assuming file exists without checking
+const content = await bucket.fastGet({ path: 'file.txt' }); // May throw!
+```
+
+### 💡 Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use strict mode** for critical operations to catch errors early
+2. **Check existence first** with `fastExists()`, `bucketExists()`, etc. before operations
+3. **Implement proper error handling** for network and permission issues
+4. **Use streaming** for large files (>100MB) to optimize memory usage
+5. **Leverage metadata** for organizing and searching files
+6. **Enable trash mode** for important data to prevent accidental loss
+7. **Lock files** during critical operations to prevent race conditions
+8. **Use async generators** for listing large buckets to avoid memory issues
+9. **Set explicit overwrite flags** to prevent accidental file overwrites
+10. **Clean up resources** properly when done
+
+### 📊 Performance Tips
+
+- **Listing**: Use async generators or cursors for buckets with >10,000 objects
+- **Uploads**: Use streams for files >100MB
+- **Downloads**: Use streams for files you'll process incrementally
+- **Metadata**: Cache metadata when reading frequently
+- **Locking**: Keep lock durations as short as possible
+- **Glob patterns**: Be specific to reduce objects scanned
