 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-08-18 - 5.16.4 - fix(classes.doc (convertFilterForMongoDb))
+Improve filter conversion: handle logical operators, merge operator objects, add nested filter tests and docs, and fix test script
+
+- Fix package.json test script: remove stray dot in tstest --verbose argument to ensure tests run correctly
+- Enhance convertFilterForMongoDb in ts/classes.doc.ts to properly handle logical operators ($and, $or, $nor, $not) and return them recursively
+- Merge operator objects for the same field path (e.g. combining $gte and $lte) to avoid overwriting operator clauses when object and dot-notation are mixed
+- Add validation/guards for operator argument types (e.g. $in, $nin, $all must be arrays; $size must be numeric) and preserve existing behavior blocking $where for security
+- Add comprehensive nested filter tests in test/test.filters.ts to cover deep nested object queries, $elemMatch, array size, $all, $in on nested fields and more
+- Expand README filtering section with detailed examples for basic filtering, deep nested filters, comparison operators, array operations, logical and element operators, and advanced patterns
+
+## 2025-08-18 - 5.16.3 - fix(docs)
+Add local Claude settings and remove outdated codex.md
+
+- Added .claude/settings.local.json to store local Claude/assistant permissions and configuration.
+- Removed codex.md (project overview) — documentation file deleted.
+- No runtime/library code changes; documentation/configuration-only update, bump patch version.
+
 ## 2025-08-18 - 5.16.2 - fix(readme)
 Update README: clarify examples, expand search/cursor/docs and add local Claude settings

-# SmartData Project Overview
-
-This document provides a high-level overview of the SmartData library (`@push.rocks/smartdata`), its architecture, core components, and key features—including recent enhancements to the search API.
-
-## 1. Project Purpose
-- A TypeScript‑first wrapper around MongoDB that supplies:
-  - Strongly‑typed document & collection classes
-  - Decorator‑based schema definition (no external schema files)
-  - Advanced search capabilities with Lucene‑style queries
-  - Built‑in support for real‑time data sync, distributed coordination, and key‑value EasyStore
-
-## 2. Core Concepts & Components
-- **SmartDataDb**: Manages the MongoDB connection, pooling, and initialization of collections.
-- **SmartDataDbDoc**: Base class for all document models; provides CRUD, upsert, and cursor APIs.
-- **Decorators**:
-  - `@Collection`: Associates a class with a MongoDB collection
-  - `@svDb()`: Marks a field as persisted to the DB
-  - `@unI()`: Marks a field as a unique index
-  - `@index()`: Adds a regular index
-  - `@searchable()`: Marks a field for inclusion in text searches or regex queries
-- **SmartdataCollection**: Wraps a MongoDB collection; auto‑creates indexes based on decorators.
-- **Lucene Adapter**: Parses a Lucene query string into an AST and transforms it to a MongoDB filter object.
-- **EasyStore**: A simple, schema‑less key‑value store built on top of MongoDB for sharing ephemeral data.
-- **Distributed Coordinator**: Leader election and task‑distribution API for building resilient, multi‑instance systems.
-- **Watcher**: Listens to change streams for real‑time updates and integrates with RxJS.
-
-## 3. Search API
-SmartData provides a unified `.search(query[, opts])` method on all models with `@searchable()` fields:
-
-- **Supported Syntax**:
-  1. Exact field:value (e.g. `field:Value`)
-  2. Quoted phrases (e.g. `"exact phrase"` or `'exact phrase'`)
-  3. Wildcards: `*` (zero or more chars) and `?` (single char)
-  4. Boolean operators: `AND`, `OR`, `NOT`
-  5. Grouping: parenthesis `(A OR B) AND C`
-  6. Range queries: `[num TO num]`, `{num TO num}`
-  7. Multi‑term unquoted: terms AND’d across all searchable fields
-  8. Empty query returns all documents
-
-- **Fallback Mechanisms**:
-  1. Text index based `$text` search (if supported)
-  2. Field‑scoped and multi‑field regex queries
-  3. In‑memory filtering for complex or unsupported cases
-
-### New Security & Extensibility Hooks
-The `.search(query, opts?)` signature now accepts a `SearchOptions<T>` object:
-```ts
-interface SearchOptions<T> {
-  filter?: Record<string, any>;        // Additional MongoDB filter AND‑merged
-  validate?: (doc: T) => boolean;      // Post‑fetch hook to drop results
-}
-```
-- **filter**: Enforces mandatory constraints (e.g. multi‑tenant isolation) directly in the Mongo query.
-- **validate**: An async function that runs after fetching; return `false` to exclude a document.
-
-## 4. Testing Strategy
-- Unit tests in `test/test.search.ts` cover basic search functionality and new options:
-  - Exact, wildcard, phrase, boolean and grouping cases
-  - Implicit AND and mixed free‑term + field searches
-  - Edge cases (non‑searchable fields, quoted wildcards, no matches)
-  - `filter` and `validate` tests ensure security hooks work as intended
-- Advanced search scenarios are covered in `test/test.search.advanced.ts`.
-
-## 5. Usage Example
-```ts
-// Basic search
-const prods = await Product.search('wireless earbuds');
-
-// Scoped search (only your organization’s items)
-const myItems = await Product.search('book', { filter: { ownerId } });
-
-// Post‑search validation (only cheap items)
-const cheapItems = await Product.search('', { validate: p => p.price < 50 });
-```

 SmartData provides the most advanced type-safe filtering system for MongoDB, supporting all operators while maintaining full IntelliSense:
 
+#### Basic Filtering
+
 ```typescript
+// Simple equality
+const john = await User.getInstances({ name: 'John Doe' });
+
+// Multiple fields (implicit AND)
+const activeAdults = await User.getInstances({
+  status: 'active',
+  age: { $gte: 18 }
+});
+
 // Union types work perfectly
 const users = await User.getInstances({
   status: { $in: ['active', 'pending'] }  // TypeScript validates these values!
 });
+```
 
-// Comparison operators with type checking
+#### Deep Nested Object Filtering
+
+SmartData supports **both** nested object notation and dot notation for querying nested fields, with intelligent merging when both are used:
+
+```typescript
+// Nested object notation - natural TypeScript syntax
+const users = await User.getInstances({
+  metadata: {
+    loginCount: { $gte: 5 }
+  }
+});
+
+// Dot notation - MongoDB style
+const sameUsers = await User.getInstances({
+  'metadata.loginCount': { $gte: 5 }
+});
+
+// POWERFUL: Combine both notations - operators are merged!
+const filtered = await User.getInstances({
+  metadata: { loginCount: { $gte: 3 } },      // Object notation
+  'metadata.loginCount': { $lte: 10 }         // Dot notation
+  // Result: metadata.loginCount between 3 and 10
+});
+
+// Deep nesting with full type safety
+const deepQuery = await User.getInstances({
+  profile: {
+    settings: {
+      notifications: {
+        email: true,
+        frequency: { $in: ['daily', 'weekly'] }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+});
+
+// Mix styles for complex queries
+const advanced = await User.getInstances({
+  // Object notation for structure
+  profile: {
+    age: { $gte: 21 },
+    verified: true
+  },
+  // Dot notation for specific overrides
+  'profile.settings.theme': 'dark',
+  'profile.lastSeen': { $gte: new Date('2024-01-01') }
+});
+```
+
+#### Comparison Operators
+
+```typescript
+// Numeric comparisons with type checking
 const adults = await User.getInstances({
   age: { $gte: 18, $lt: 65 }  // Type-safe numeric comparisons
 });
 
+// Date comparisons
+const recentUsers = await User.getInstances({
+  createdAt: { $gte: new Date('2024-01-01') }
+});
+
+// Not equal
+const nonAdmins = await User.getInstances({
+  role: { $ne: 'admin' }
+});
+```
+
+#### Array Operations
+
+```typescript
 // Array operations with full type safety
 const experts = await User.getInstances({
   tags: { $all: ['typescript', 'mongodb'] },  // Must have all tags
   skills: { $size: 5 }  // Exactly 5 skills
 });
 
-// Complex nested queries
+// Array element matching
+const results = await Order.getInstances({
+  items: { 
+    $elemMatch: {  // Match array elements
+      product: 'laptop',
+      quantity: { $gte: 2 }
+    }
+  }
+});
+
+// Check if value exists in array field
+const nodeUsers = await User.getInstances({
+  skills: { $in: ['nodejs'] }  // Has nodejs in skills array
+});
+```
+
+#### Logical Operators
+
+```typescript
+// Complex nested queries with $and
 const results = await Order.getInstances({
   $and: [
     { status: { $in: ['pending', 'processing'] } },
-    { 'items.price': { $gte: 100 } },  // Dot notation for nested fields
+    { 'items.price': { $gte: 100 } },
-    { 
+    { customer: { verified: true } }
-      items: { 
-        $elemMatch: {  // Array element matching
-          product: 'laptop',
-          quantity: { $gte: 2 }
-        }
-      }
-    }
   ]
 });

+// $or operator

   $or: [
     { priority: 'urgent' },
@@ -185,8 +275,94 @@ const urgentOrHighValue = await Order.getInstances({

 });
 
-// Security: $where is automatically blocked
+// $nor operator - none of the conditions
+const excluded = await User.getInstances({
+  $nor: [
+    { status: 'banned' },
+    { role: 'guest' }
+  ]
+});
+
+// Combine logical operators
+const complex = await Order.getInstances({
+  $and: [
+    { status: 'active' },
+    {
+      $or: [
+        { priority: 'high' },
+        { value: { $gte: 1000 } }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+#### Element Operators
+
+```typescript
+// Check field existence
+const withEmail = await User.getInstances({
+  email: { $exists: true }
+});
+
+// Check for null or missing nested fields
+const noPreferences = await User.getInstances({
+  'profile.preferences': { $exists: false }
+});
+```
+
+#### Text and Pattern Matching
+
+```typescript
+// Regex patterns
+const gmailUsers = await User.getInstances({
+  email: { $regex: '@gmail\\.com$', $options: 'i' }
+});
+
+// Starts with pattern
+const johnUsers = await User.getInstances({
+  name: { $regex: '^John' }
+});
+```
+
+#### Security Features
+
+```typescript
+// Security: $where is automatically blocked for injection protection
 // await User.getInstances({ $where: '...' });  // ❌ Throws security error
+
+// Invalid operators are caught
+// await User.getInstances({ $badOp: 'value' });  // ⚠️ Warning logged
+```
+
+#### Advanced Patterns
+
+```typescript
+// Combine multiple filtering approaches
+const advancedQuery = await User.getInstances({
+  // Direct field matching
+  status: 'active',
+  
+  // Nested object with operators
+  profile: {
+    age: { $gte: 18, $lte: 65 },
+    verified: true
+  },
+  
+  // Dot notation for deep paths
+  'settings.notifications.email': true,
+  'metadata.lastLogin': { $gte: new Date(Date.now() - 30*24*60*60*1000) },
+  
+  // Array operations
+  roles: { $in: ['admin', 'moderator'] },
+  tags: { $all: ['verified', 'premium'] },
+  
+  // Logical grouping
+  $or: [
+    { 'subscription.plan': 'premium' },
+    { 'subscription.trial': true }
+  ]
+});
