-## Status
-[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/pushrocks/smartcli.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/pushrocks/smartcli)
-[![Dependency Status](https://david-dm.org/pushrocks/smartcli.svg)](https://david-dm.org/pushrocks/smartcli)

-
-## Install the package
-    npm install smartcli --save
-
-## Usage
-
-this plugin tries to establish some logic in which CLI tools work.
-
-take the following commandline input:
-
-```
-mytool function argument1 argument2 --option1 option1Value --option2 option2Value
-```
-
-* 'mytool' obviously is the tool (like git)
-* function is the main thing the tool shall do (like commit)
-* option is an option you can add (like -m for message)
-* optionValue is the referenced option value (like a commit message)
-
-
-### The inner organization of smartcli
-**smartcli** exposes three major groups of functions:
-
-* check functions
-  * are grouped in **smartcli.checks** object
-* get functions
-  * are grouped in **smartcli.get** object
-* async interaction functions
-  * are grouped in **smartcli.interaction** object
-
-
-### Methods
-The examples are written in TypeScript
-```typescript
-import * as smartcli from  "smartcli"
-
-/* -------------- Check Functions -------------------*/
-smartcli.check.command("jazz"); // check  for a special command.
-smartcli.check.commandPresence() // check if any command is specified
-smartcli.check.commandArguemnt("myargument",1) // checks if a special argument is given, second argument is level
-smartcli.check.commandArguemntPresence // checks of any Argument is present
-smartcli.check.option("someoption") // checks for a specific option
-smartcli.check.optionPresence() // checks if any option is specified
-smartcli.get.option('myoption'); // 
-```

+# Changelog
+
+## Pending
+
+
+
+## 2026-05-13 - 4.2.0
+
+### Features
+
+- enhance terminal task rendering with progress, lifecycle helpers, and configurable output modes (terminal)
+  - add task progress reporting and task.run() helpers for automatic completion and failure handling
+  - support configurable unicode or ascii symbols, cleanup behavior, and throttled non-interactive lifecycle logs
+  - export new terminal task run and symbol mode types and document the updated terminal API
+
+## 2026-05-13 - 4.1.0
+
+### Features
+
+- add live terminal task rendering with interactive and non-interactive output modes (terminal)
+  - introduces SmartcliTerminal and SmartcliTerminalTask exports for fixed-row task rendering
+  - supports task updates, completion, failure handling, and persistent error output
+  - detects interactive terminals and falls back to append-only logs in CI or non-TTY environments
+  - adds tests covering interactive rendering, non-interactive logging, and error attachment behavior
+
+## 2026-04-30 - 4.0.21 - fix(smartcli)
+tighten command parsing and error handling while updating build and package configuration
+
+- throw an explicit error when triggering an unregistered command instead of failing on an undefined subject
+- make the cli version property optional to align with current typing expectations
+- update tests to use explicit argv input and export the tap startup call for runtime compatibility
+- enable stricter TypeScript configuration and refresh build, dependency, and package metadata files
+
+## 2025-10-28 - 4.0.19 - fix(license)
+Update license files and add local tool settings
+
+- Update LICENSE header to reference Task Venture Capital GmbH as copyright holder
+- Add a new license file containing the full MIT license text
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json to store local tool permission settings
+
+## 2025-10-28 - 4.0.18 - fix(smartcli)
+Allow passing argv to startParse and improve getUserArgs Deno/runtime handling; update tests and add license
+
+- Smartcli.startParse now accepts an optional testArgv parameter to bypass automatic runtime detection (makes testing deterministic).
+- getUserArgs logic refined: always prefer Deno.args when available (handles Deno run and compiled executables reliably) and improve execPath fallback and slicing behavior for Node/Bun/other launchers.
+- Tests updated: test/test.node+deno+bun.ts now passes process.argv explicitly to startParse to avoid Deno.args interference in test environments.
+- Added MIT LICENSE file and a local .claude/settings.local.json for environment/permission settings.
+
+## 2025-10-28 - 4.0.17 - fix(license)
+Add MIT license and local Claude settings
+
+- Add LICENSE file (MIT) to repository
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json with local permissions for tooling
+
+## 2025-10-28 - 4.0.16 - fix(smartcli.helpers)
+Improve CLI argument parsing and Deno runtime detection; use getUserArgs consistently
+
+- Enhance getUserArgs() to prefer Deno.args but detect when process.argv was manipulated (e.g. in tests) and fallback to manual parsing
+- Add robust handling of process.execPath / execPath basename and compute correct argv offset for known launchers vs. compiled executables
+- Call getUserArgs() (no explicit process.argv) from Smartcli.getOption and Smartcli.startParse to ensure consistent cross-runtime behavior
+- Expand readme.hints.md with detailed cross-runtime examples and explanation of Deno.args vs process.argv for compiled executables
+- Add local claude settings file for tooling configuration
+
+## 2025-10-28 - 4.0.15 - fix(smartcli.helpers)
+Add robust getUserArgs helper and refactor Smartcli to use it; add MIT license and update documentation
+
+- Add ts/smartcli.helpers.ts: getUserArgs to normalize user arguments across Node.js, Deno (run/compiled), and Bun, with safety checks for test environments
+- Refactor Smartcli (ts/smartcli.classes.smartcli.ts) to use getUserArgs in startParse and getOption for correct argument parsing and improved test compatibility
+- Update readme.hints.md with detailed cross-runtime CLI argument parsing guidance
+- Add LICENSE (MIT) file
+- Add .claude/settings.local.json (local settings)
+
+## 2025-10-28 - 4.0.14 - fix(license)
+Add MIT license file
+
+- Add MIT License file to repository to clarify licensing and copyright (Push.Rocks 2015).
+
+## 2025-10-27 - 4.0.13 - fix(smartcli)
+Improve CLI argument parsing, update deps and tests
+
+- Enhance startParse() to filter runtime executables and script paths (node, deno, bun, tsx, ts-node) so commands are detected correctly across runtimes.
+- Switch path import to node:path in plugins for ESM compatibility.
+- Bump various dependencies and devDependencies (including @push.rocks/lik, @push.rocks/smartlog, @push.rocks/smartpromise, @push.rocks/smartrx, yargs-parser, @git.zone tooling) and add packageManager field.
+- Replace / reorganize tests: add/modify test/test.node+deno+bun.ts, adjust test script to use --verbose.
+- Add deno.lock and include many resolved npm dependencies.
+- Add LICENSE file (MIT).
+
+## 2025-04-01 - 4.0.12 - fix(docs)
+Update documentation with comprehensive usage examples, improved command alias descriptions, and detailed configuration instructions
+
+- Revised readme.md with in-depth examples covering multiple CLI scenarios and RxJS integration
+- Updated package.json and npmextra.json descriptions and keywords to reflect enhanced functionality
+- Expanded usage guide with additional commands, error handling strategies, and testing guidelines

+## Cross-Runtime Compatibility
+
+### CLI Argument Parsing
+The module uses a robust cross-runtime approach for parsing command-line arguments through the `getUserArgs()` utility in `ts/smartcli.helpers.ts`.
+
+**Runtime-Specific Implementations:**
+
+| Runtime | process.argv Structure | Preferred API | Reason |
+|---------|------------------------|---------------|---------|
+| **Node.js** | `["/path/to/node", "/path/to/script.js", ...userArgs]` | Manual parsing | No native user-args API |
+| **Deno run** | `["deno", "/path/to/script.ts", ...userArgs]` | `Deno.args` ✅ | Pre-filtered by runtime |
+| **Deno compiled** | `["/path/to/binary", "/tmp/deno-compile-.../mod.ts", ...userArgs]` | `Deno.args` ✅ | Filters internal bundle path |
+| **Bun** | `["/path/to/bun", "/path/to/script.ts", ...userArgs]` | Manual parsing | Bun.argv not pre-filtered |
+
+**Why Deno.args is Critical for Compiled Executables:**
+
+Deno compiled executables insert an internal bundle path at `argv[1]`:
+```javascript
+process.argv = [
+  "/usr/local/bin/moxytool",              // argv[0] - executable
+  "/tmp/deno-compile-moxytool/mod.ts",    // argv[1] - INTERNAL bundle path
+  "scripts",                               // argv[2] - actual user command
+  "--option"                               // argv[3+] - user args
+]
+
+Deno.args = ["scripts", "--option"]  // ✓ Correctly filtered by Deno runtime
+```
+
+**getUserArgs() Logic:**
+
+1. **Prefer Deno.args** when available (unless process.argv appears manipulated for testing)
+2. **Fallback to manual parsing** for Node.js and Bun:
+   - Check `process.execPath` basename
+   - Known launchers (node, deno, bun, tsx, ts-node) → skip 2 args
+   - Unknown (compiled executables) → skip 1 arg
+3. **Test detection**: If `process.argv.length > 2` in Deno, use manual parsing (handles test manipulation)
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- ✅ Works with custom-named compiled executables
+- ✅ Handles Deno's internal bundle path automatically
+- ✅ Compatible with test environments
+- ✅ No heuristics needed for Deno (runtime does the work)

+# @push.rocks/smartcli
+
+Build small, reactive command-line tools in TypeScript without hand-rolling argument dispatch. `@push.rocks/smartcli` parses the current runtime's user arguments, dispatches the first positional command into an RxJS `Subject`, exposes the parsed `yargs-parser` result to your handler, and gives you a clean fallback path when no command is provided.
+
+It is ESM-first, ships TypeScript declarations, and handles user argument slicing across Node.js, Deno, Deno-compiled executables, Bun, `tsx`, and `ts-node`.
+

+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+pnpm add @push.rocks/smartcli
+```
+
+## Why Use Smartcli
+
+- Reactive command handlers: every command is an RxJS `Subject`, so command execution fits naturally into observable-based code.
+- Tiny API surface: register commands, subscribe handlers, and call `startParse()`.
+- Runtime-aware argument handling: Node.js, Deno, Deno-compiled binaries, Bun, `tsx`, and `ts-node` get user-only arguments consistently.
+- `yargs-parser` integration: flags and positional arguments arrive as a familiar parsed object.
+- Built-in standard command, help command, version output, manual triggering, and parse completion hooks.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Create a CLI entrypoint, for example `cli.ts`:
+
+```ts
+#!/usr/bin/env node
+import { Smartcli } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const cli = new Smartcli();
+
+cli.addVersion('1.0.0');
+
+cli.addHelp({
+  helpText: `
+Usage:
+  demo greet --name Ada
+  demo --version
+  demo help
+
+Commands:
+  greet    Print a greeting
+  help     Print this help text
+`,
+});
+
+cli.addCommand('greet').subscribe((argv) => {
+  const name = argv.name || 'World';
+  console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
+});
+
+cli.standardCommand().subscribe(() => {
+  console.log('Usage: demo greet --name Ada');
+  console.log('Run "demo help" for details.');
+});
+
+cli.startParse();
+```
+
+When exposed as a package `bin`, the CLI behaves like this:
+
+```sh
+demo greet --name Ada
+# Hello, Ada!
+
+demo --version
+# 1.0.0
+
+demo help
+# prints the configured help text
+```
+
+## Terminal Task Rendering
+
+Use `SmartcliTerminal` for long-running jobs that should render cleanly in both interactive and non-interactive environments. In a TTY, active tasks render below each other with a fixed row count, colored status symbols, and elapsed time. In CI, pipes, Docker logs, or `TERM=dumb`, the same calls become throttled append-only lifecycle logs.
+
+```ts
+import { SmartcliTerminal } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const terminal = new SmartcliTerminal();
+
+const buildTask = terminal.task('Build package', {
+  rows: 3,
+});
+
+buildTask.update('Installing dependencies');
+buildTask.setProgress(1, 2, 'Running tsbuild');
+buildTask.complete('Build finished');
+
+const publishTask = terminal.createProcess({
+  job: 'Publish package',
+  rows: 4,
+});
+
+try {
+  await publishPackage();
+  publishTask.complete('Published');
+} catch (error) {
+  publishTask.attachError(error);
+}
+```
+
+Completed tasks collapse into one permanent success line. Failed tasks collapse into one permanent failure line with error details. If an error should remain visible inside the live task area, use `attachError(error, { keepOpen: true })`.
+
+For scoped work, `task.run()` completes or fails automatically:
+
+```ts
+await terminal.task('Generate assets').run(async (task) => {
+  task.setProgress(1, 3, 'Reading source files');
+  await readSourceFiles();
+  task.setProgress(2, 3, 'Rendering assets');
+  await renderAssets();
+  task.setProgress(3, 3, 'Writing output');
+}, { successMessage: 'Assets generated' });
+```
+
+## Execution Model
+
+1. Create a `Smartcli` instance.
+2. Register all commands before parsing.
+3. Subscribe handlers to the returned command subjects.
+4. Call `startParse()` once to parse the current runtime arguments.
+5. `startParse()` parses user args with `yargs-parser`.
+6. The first positional argument, `argv._[0]`, is treated as the command name.
+7. A matching command subject receives the parsed `argv` object through `.next(argv)`.
+8. If no command is provided, the subject from `standardCommand()` is triggered when it exists.
+9. After normal dispatch, `parseCompleted.promise` resolves with the parsed argument object.
+
+`startParse()` dispatches synchronously. If a handler starts asynchronous work, manage that lifecycle in your application code.
+
+## Commands and Options
+
+Options are available directly on the parsed object handed to your subscription:
+
+```ts
+import { Smartcli } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const cli = new Smartcli();
+
+cli.addCommand('deploy').subscribe((argv) => {
+  const environment = argv.env || 'development';
+  const force = Boolean(argv.force);
+
+  console.log(`Deploying to ${environment}`);
+
+  if (force) {
+    console.log('Force mode enabled');
+  }
+});
+
+cli.standardCommand().subscribe(() => {
+  console.log('Usage: deployer deploy --env production [--force]');
+});
+
+cli.startParse();
+```
+
+Run it with:
+
+```sh
+deployer deploy --env production --force
+```
+
+The handler receives a `yargs-parser` result similar to:
+
+```ts
+{
+  _: ['deploy'],
+  env: 'production',
+  force: true
+}
+```
+
+## Positional Arguments
+
+The first positional argument selects the command. Additional positional values remain in `argv._`:
+
+```ts
+import { Smartcli } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const cli = new Smartcli();
+
+cli.addCommand('run').subscribe((argv) => {
+  const taskName = argv._[1];
+
+  if (!taskName) {
+    console.log('Usage: tool run <taskName>');
+    return;
+  }
+
+  console.log(`Running task: ${taskName}`);
+});
+
+cli.startParse();
+```
+
+```sh
+tool run build
+# Running task: build
+```
+
+## Standard Command
+
+Use `standardCommand()` for the no-command case:
+
+```ts
+import { Smartcli } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const cli = new Smartcli();
+
+cli.addCommand('status').subscribe(() => {
+  console.log('Everything is operational.');
+});
+
+cli.standardCommand().subscribe(() => {
+  console.log('Available commands: status');
+});
+
+cli.startParse();
+```
+
+If no standard command is registered and the user runs the CLI without a command, smartcli prints `no smartcli standard task was created or assigned.`.
+
+## Help and Version Output
+
+`addVersion()` enables `-v` and `--version` when no command is provided:
+
+```ts
+cli.addVersion('2.3.0');
+```
+
+```sh
+tool --version
+# 2.3.0
+```
+
+`addHelp()` registers a `help` command. It does not create a `--help` flag:
+
+```ts
+cli.addHelp({
+  helpText: `
+Usage:
+  tool build --target app
+  tool status
+`,
+});
+```
+
+```sh
+tool help
+```
+
+## Programmatic Dispatch
+
+Use `triggerCommand()` when you want to invoke a registered command yourself, for example in orchestration code or focused tests:
+
+```ts
+import { Smartcli } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const cli = new Smartcli();
+
+cli.addCommand('build').subscribe((argv) => {
+  console.log(`Building ${argv.target}`);
+});
+
+cli.triggerCommand('build', {
+  _: ['build'],
+  target: 'docs',
+});
+```
+
+`triggerCommand()` throws if the command has not been registered.
+
+## Testing CLIs
+
+`startParse()` accepts an optional `argv` override. Pass a full runtime-style argument array for deterministic tests:
+
+```ts
+import { Smartcli } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const cli = new Smartcli();
+const parsedPromise = cli.parseCompleted.promise;
+
+cli.addCommand('publish').subscribe((argv) => {
+  console.log(`Publishing with tag ${argv.tag}`);
+});
+
+cli.startParse(['node', 'test-cli.js', 'publish', '--tag', 'next']);
+
+const parsed = await parsedPromise;
+console.log(parsed.tag);
+// next
+```
+
+Create a fresh `Smartcli` instance per parse. `parseCompleted` is a single deferred value on the instance and resolves once.
+
+## Cross-Runtime Argument Handling
+
+smartcli uses `getUserArgs()` internally to remove runtime-specific executable and script entries before parsing:
+
+| Runtime mode | Argument strategy |
+| --- | --- |
+| Deno without an explicit test argv | Uses `Deno.args`, which is already user-only. |
+| Node.js | Uses `process.argv` and skips executable plus script path for known launchers. |
+| Bun | Uses `process.argv` and skips executable plus script path for known launchers. |
+| `tsx` and `ts-node` | Treated as known launchers and parsed like Node.js. |
+| Unknown compiled executable | Skips only the executable path, keeping the first user argument intact. |
+
+This matters for compiled CLIs where `process.argv[0]` is the binary itself and the first user argument should not be mistaken for a script path.
+
+## Aliases
+
+The class exposes `addCommandAlias(original, alias)` and the public `aliasObject` for keeping alias metadata:
+
+```ts
+cli.addCommandAlias('deploy', 'd');
+console.log(cli.aliasObject.deploy);
+// ['d']
+```
+
+Current command dispatch is exact-match based on `argv._[0]`. If you want executable aliases, register the alias as a command and subscribe it to the same handler:
+
+```ts
+import { Smartcli } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const cli = new Smartcli();
+
+const deploy = (argv: any) => {
+  console.log(`Deploying ${argv.target || 'default target'}`);
+};
+
+cli.addCommand('deploy').subscribe(deploy);
+cli.addCommand('d').subscribe(deploy);
+cli.addCommandAlias('deploy', 'd');
+
+cli.startParse();
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+| API | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `new Smartcli()` | Creates an isolated CLI parser and command registry. |
+| `addCommand(commandName)` | Registers a command and returns its RxJS `Subject`. If the command already exists, the existing subject is reused. |
+| `standardCommand()` | Registers and returns the fallback subject for runs without a command. |
+| `startParse(testArgv?)` | Parses current user args, or the provided full argv array, and dispatches to the matching command. |
+| `triggerCommand(commandName, argvObject)` | Manually emits an argv object into a registered command subject. |
+| `getCommandSubject(commandName)` | Returns the subject for a registered command or `null`. |
+| `getOption(optionName)` | Parses current runtime args and returns one option by name. Inside command handlers, prefer the provided `argv` object. |
+| `addHelp({ helpText })` | Registers a `help` command that logs the provided help text. |
+| `addVersion(version)` | Stores the version printed by `-v` or `--version` when no command is selected. |
+| `addCommandAlias(original, alias)` | Stores alias metadata in `aliasObject`. Register alias command names separately for direct dispatch. |
+| `parseCompleted.promise` | Resolves with the parsed argv object after normal `startParse()` dispatch. |
+
+## Practical Example
+
+This example wires a tiny task runner with commands, options, help, version output, and a standard fallback:
+
+```ts
+#!/usr/bin/env node
+import { Smartcli } from '@push.rocks/smartcli';
+
+const cli = new Smartcli();
+
+const tasks = new Map<string, () => Promise<void> | void>([
+  ['build', () => console.log('Building project...')],
+  ['test', () => console.log('Running tests...')],
+  ['release', () => console.log('Preparing release...')],
+]);
+
+cli.addVersion('1.4.0');
+
+cli.addHelp({
+  helpText: `
+Task Runner
+
+Usage:
+  tasker list
+  tasker run <taskName> [--dry]
+  tasker --version
+
+Available tasks:
+  build
+  test
+  release
+`,
+});
+
+cli.addCommand('list').subscribe(() => {
+  for (const taskName of tasks.keys()) {
+    console.log(taskName);
+  }
+});
+
+cli.addCommand('run').subscribe(async (argv) => {
+  const taskName = argv._[1];
+  const dryRun = Boolean(argv.dry);
+
+  if (!taskName) {
+    console.log('Usage: tasker run <taskName> [--dry]');
+    return;
+  }
+
+  const task = tasks.get(taskName);
+
+  if (!task) {
+    console.log(`Unknown task: ${taskName}`);
+    return;
+  }
+
+  if (dryRun) {
+    console.log(`Would run task: ${taskName}`);
+    return;
+  }
+
+  await task();
+});
+
+cli.standardCommand().subscribe(() => {
+  console.log('Usage: tasker <list|run|help>');
+});
+
+cli.startParse();
+```
+
+## Sharp Edges Worth Knowing
+
+- Register commands before calling `startParse()`.
+- `startParse()` dispatches once; create a new `Smartcli` instance for a second parse.
+- `addHelp()` registers the `help` command, not a `--help` option.
+- `addVersion()` prints only when no positional command is present.
+- `getOption()` reads the current runtime args. In command subscriptions, use the `argv` object you receive for the most testable code.
+- Alias metadata is stored, but aliases are not automatically dispatched unless you register the alias command name too.
+- smartcli does not validate option schemas. Add validation in your own command handlers when inputs matter.
