 # Changelog

+## 2026-02-03 - 5.1.0 - feat(localtsmdb)
+export ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo and expand LocalTsmDb/TsmDB documentation and examples
+
+- Exported new type ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo from ts_local (ts/index.ts)
+- Added LocalTsmDb configuration example, methods table, and ConnectionInfo interface to README
+- Documented Unix socket vs TCP connection modes and updated usage examples (TCP and socket examples)
+- Expanded TsmDB docs: additional server properties, aggregation stages, regex examples, index operations, database ops, checksums, and wire protocol commands
+- Updated architecture notes to include Unix socket support and new engine components (QueryEngine, UpdateEngine, AggregationEngine)
+
+## 2026-02-03 - 5.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(localtsmdb)
+add Unix socket support and change LocalTsmDb API to return connection info instead of a MongoClient
+
+- LocalTsmDb.start() now returns ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo { socketPath, connectionUri } instead of a connected MongoClient
+- Removed internal MongoClient management: consumers must create/connect/close their own MongoClient using the returned connectionUri (close client before calling db.stop())
+- Added ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo type and getConnectionInfo() (replaces getClient())
+- TsmdbServer: added socketPath option to listen on Unix sockets, cleans up stale socket files on start/stop, and encodes socket paths in getConnectionUri()
+- LocalTsmDb can auto-generate socket paths in the OS temp dir; LocalTsmDb no longer depends on the mongodb package internally (lightweight Unix socket wrapper)
+- Updated docs and tests to use MongoClient externally and to demonstrate socketPath/connectionUri workflow
+- ts_local plugins no longer export net (net usage moved to server implementation)
+
+## 2026-02-03 - 4.3.0 - feat(docs)
+add LocalTsmDb documentation and examples; update README code samples and imports; correct examples and variable names; update package author
+
+- Introduce LocalTsmDb: zero-config local database with automatic persistence, auto port discovery, and pre-connected client (added Quick Start, API, Features, and testing examples).
+- Expand comparison table to include LocalTsmDb alongside SmartMongo and TsmDB.
+- Update README examples: new LocalTsmDb usage, reorder options (LocalTsmDb, TsmDB, SmartMongo), rename test DB variable (db -> testDb), and adjust test snippets for Jest/Mocha and tap. 
+- Adjust code snippets and API notes: switch some example imports to use tsmdb, replace FileStorageAdapter references, change planner.createPlan to await planner.plan, and use wal.getEntriesAfter(...) without awaiting. 
+- Update package.json author from 'Lossless GmbH' to 'Task Venture Capital GmbH'.
+
+## 2026-02-03 - 4.2.1 - fix(package.json)
+replace main and typings with exports field pointing to ./dist_ts/index.js
+
+- Added package.json exports field mapping "." to ./dist_ts/index.js to declare the package entrypoint.
+- Removed main (dist_ts/index.js) and typings (dist_ts/index.d.ts) entries.
+- Note: switching to exports improves Node resolution but removing the typings entry may affect TypeScript consumers expecting index.d.ts.
+
+## 2026-02-01 - 4.2.0 - feat(tsmdb)
+implement TsmDB Mongo-wire-compatible server, add storage/engine modules and reorganize exports
+
+- Add full TsmDB implementation under ts/ts_tsmdb: wire protocol, server, command router, handlers, engines (Query, Update, Aggregation, Index, Transaction, Session), storage adapters (Memory, File), OpLog, WAL, utils and types.
+- Remove legacy ts/tsmdb implementation and replace with new ts_tsmdb module exports.
+- Introduce ts/ts_mongotools module and move SmartMongo class there; update top-level exports in ts/index.ts to export SmartMongo, tsmdb (from ts_tsmdb) and LocalTsmDb.
+- Add LocalTsmDb convenience class (ts/ts_local) to start a file-backed TsmDB and return a connected MongoClient.
+- Refactor plugin imports into per-module plugins files and add utilities (checksum, persistence, query planner, index engine).
+
+## 2026-02-01 - 4.1.1 - fix(tsmdb)
+add comprehensive unit tests for tsmdb components: checksum, query planner, index engine, session, and WAL
+
+- Add new tests: test.tsmdb.checksum.ts — CRC32 and document checksum utilities (add/verify/remove)
+- Add new tests: test.tsmdb.queryplanner.ts — QueryPlanner plans, index usage, selectivity, explain output, and edge cases
+- Add new tests: test.tsmdb.indexengine.ts — Index creation, unique/sparse options, candidate selection, and constraints
+- Add new tests: test.tsmdb.session.ts — Session lifecycle, touch/refresh/close, extractSessionId handling
+- Add new tests: test.tsmdb.wal.ts — WAL initialization, LSN increments, logging/recovery for inserts/updates/deletes, binary and nested data handling
+- Tests only — no production API changes; increases test coverage
+- Recommend patch bump from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1
+
+## 2026-02-01 - 4.1.0 - feat(readme)
+expand README with storage integrity, WAL, query planner, session & transaction docs; update test script to enable verbose logging and increase timeout
+
+- Updated npm test script to run tstest with --verbose, --logfile and --timeout 60 to improve test output and avoid timeouts.
+- Extensive README additions: file storage adapter examples with checksum options, write-ahead logging (WAL) usage and recovery, query planner examples, index and query execution details, session and transaction examples and features.
+- Wire protocol / features table updated to include Transactions and Sessions and added admin commands (dbStats, collStats).
+- Architecture diagram and component list updated to include QueryPlanner, SessionEngine, TransactionEngine and WAL; storage layer annotated with checksums and WAL.
+- Minor example import tweak: MongoClient import now includes Db type in test examples.
+
 ## 2026-02-01 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(storage,engine,server)
 add session & transaction management, index/query planner, WAL and checksum support; integrate index-accelerated queries and update storage API (findByIds) to enable index optimizations

 ## 🚀 Quick Start

-### Option 1: SmartMongo (Real MongoDB)
+### Option 1: LocalTsmDb (Zero-Config Local Database) ⭐
+
+The easiest way to get started — just point it at a folder and you have a persistent MongoDB-compatible database using Unix sockets. No port conflicts, no MongoDB driver dependency in LocalTsmDb!
+
+```typescript
+import { LocalTsmDb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';
+
+// Create a local database backed by files
+const db = new LocalTsmDb({ folderPath: './my-data' });
+
+// Start and get connection info (Unix socket path + connection URI)
+const { connectionUri } = await db.start();
+
+// Connect with your own MongoDB client
+const client = new MongoClient(connectionUri, { directConnection: true });
+await client.connect();
+
+// Use exactly like MongoDB
+const users = client.db('myapp').collection('users');
+await users.insertOne({ name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' });
+
+const user = await users.findOne({ name: 'Alice' });
+console.log(user); // { _id: ObjectId(...), name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' }
+
+// Data persists to disk automatically!
+await client.close();
+await db.stop();
+
+// Later... data is still there
+const db2 = new LocalTsmDb({ folderPath: './my-data' });
+const { connectionUri: uri2 } = await db2.start();
+const client2 = new MongoClient(uri2, { directConnection: true });
+await client2.connect();
+const savedUser = await client2.db('myapp').collection('users').findOne({ name: 'Alice' });
+// savedUser exists!
+```
+
+### Option 2: TsmDB (Wire Protocol Server)
+
+A lightweight, pure TypeScript MongoDB-compatible server — use the official `mongodb` driver directly!
+
+```typescript
+import { tsmdb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';
+
+// Start TsmDB server (TCP mode)
+const server = new tsmdb.TsmdbServer({ port: 27017 });
+await server.start();
+
+// Connect with the official MongoDB driver
+const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017');
+await client.connect();
+
+// Use exactly like real MongoDB
+const db = client.db('myapp');
+await db.collection('users').insertOne({ name: 'Alice', age: 30 });
+
+const user = await db.collection('users').findOne({ name: 'Alice' });
+console.log(user); // { _id: ObjectId(...), name: 'Alice', age: 30 }
+
+// Clean up
+await client.close();
+await server.stop();
+```

-A lightweight, pure TypeScript MongoDB-compatible server that speaks the wire protocol — use the official `mongodb` driver directly!
+## 📖 LocalTsmDb API
+
+The simplest option for local development and prototyping — lightweight, Unix socket-based, and automatic persistence.
+
+### Configuration

 ```typescript
-import { tsmdb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
-import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';
+import { LocalTsmDb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+import type { ILocalTsmDbOptions, ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';

-// Start TsmDB server

+  folderPath: './data',           // Required: where to store data
+  socketPath: '/tmp/my.sock',     // Optional: custom socket path (default: auto-generated)
+};

-// Connect with the official MongoDB driver!
-const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017');
-await client.connect();
-
-// Use exactly like real MongoDB
-const db = client.db('myapp');
-await db.collection('users').insertOne({ name: 'Alice', age: 30 });
-
-const user = await db.collection('users').findOne({ name: 'Alice' });
-console.log(user); // { _id: ObjectId(...), name: 'Alice', age: 30 }
-
-// Clean up
-await client.close();
-await server.stop();
+const db = new LocalTsmDb(options);
 ```

+### Methods
+
+| Method | Returns | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `start()` | `Promise<ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo>` | Starts the server and returns connection info |
+| `stop()` | `Promise<void>` | Stops the server and cleans up the socket |
+| `getConnectionInfo()` | `ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo` | Returns current connection info |
+| `getConnectionUri()` | `string` | Returns the MongoDB connection URI |
+| `getServer()` | `TsmdbServer` | Returns the underlying TsmDB server instance |
+| `running` | `boolean` | Property indicating if the server is running |
+
+### Connection Info
+
+The `start()` method returns an `ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo` object:
+
+```typescript
+interface ILocalTsmDbConnectionInfo {
+  socketPath: string;      // The Unix socket file path, e.g., /tmp/smartmongo-abc123.sock
+  connectionUri: string;   // MongoDB URI, e.g., mongodb://%2Ftmp%2Fsmartmongo-abc123.sock
+}
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { LocalTsmDb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';
+
+const db = new LocalTsmDb({ folderPath: './data' });
+
+// Start and get connection info
+const { socketPath, connectionUri } = await db.start();
+console.log(socketPath);    // /tmp/smartmongo-abc123.sock (auto-generated)
+console.log(connectionUri); // mongodb://%2Ftmp%2Fsmartmongo-abc123.sock
+
+// Connect with your own MongoDB client
+const client = new MongoClient(connectionUri, { directConnection: true });
+await client.connect();
+
+// Use the client
+const users = client.db('mydb').collection('users');
+await users.insertOne({ name: 'Alice' });
+
+// Check status
+console.log(db.running); // true
+
+// Stop when done (close your client first!)
+await client.close();
+await db.stop();
+```
+
+### Features
+
+- 🔌 **Unix Sockets** — No port conflicts, faster IPC than TCP
+- 💾 **Automatic Persistence** — Data saved to files, survives restarts
+- 🪶 **Lightweight** — No MongoDB driver dependency in LocalTsmDb itself
+- 🎯 **Zero Config** — Just specify a folder path and you're good to go
+- 🔗 **Connection URI** — Ready-to-use URI for your own MongoClient

+---
+
+## ⚡ Performance & Reliability Features
+
+TsmDB includes enterprise-grade features for robustness:
+
+### 🔍 Index-Accelerated Queries
+
+Indexes are automatically used to accelerate queries:
+
+- **Hash indexes** for equality queries (`$eq`, `$in`)
+- **B-tree indexes** for range queries (`$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`)
+
+```typescript
+// Create an index
+await collection.createIndex({ email: 1 });
+await collection.createIndex({ age: 1 });
+
+// These queries will use the index (fast!)
+await collection.findOne({ email: 'alice@example.com' }); // Uses hash lookup
+await collection.find({ age: { $gte: 18, $lt: 65 } });    // Uses B-tree range scan
+```
+
+### 📊 Query Planner
+
+TsmDB includes a query planner that analyzes queries and selects optimal execution strategies:
+
+```typescript
+import { tsmdb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+
+// For debugging, you can access the query planner
+const planner = new tsmdb.QueryPlanner(indexEngine);
+const plan = await planner.plan(filter);
+
+console.log(plan);
+// {
+//   type: 'IXSCAN',           // or 'IXSCAN_RANGE', 'COLLSCAN'
+//   indexName: 'email_1',
+//   selectivity: 0.01,
+//   indexCovering: true
+// }
+```
+
+### 📝 Write-Ahead Logging (WAL)
+
+For durability, TsmDB supports write-ahead logging:
+
+```typescript
+import { tsmdb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+
+const wal = new tsmdb.WAL('./data/wal.log');
+await wal.initialize();
+
+// WAL entries include:
+// - LSN (Log Sequence Number)
+// - Timestamp
+// - Operation type (insert, update, delete, checkpoint)
+// - Document data (BSON serialized)
+// - CRC32 checksum for integrity
+
+// Recovery support
+const entries = wal.getEntriesAfter(lastCheckpointLsn);
+```
+
+### 🔐 Session Management
+
+TsmDB tracks client sessions with automatic timeout and transaction linking:
+
+```typescript
+// Sessions are automatically managed when using the MongoDB driver
+const session = client.startSession();
+
+try {
+  session.startTransaction();
+  await collection.insertOne({ name: 'Alice' }, { session });
+  await collection.updateOne({ name: 'Bob' }, { $inc: { balance: 100 } }, { session });
+  await session.commitTransaction();
+} catch (error) {
+  await session.abortTransaction();
+} finally {
+  session.endSession();
+}
+
+// Session features:
+// - Automatic session timeout (30 minutes default)
+// - Transaction auto-abort on session expiry
+// - Session activity tracking
+```
+
+### ✅ Data Integrity Checksums
+
+File-based storage supports CRC32 checksums to detect corruption:
+
+```typescript
+import { tsmdb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+
+// Checksums are used internally for WAL and data integrity
+// Documents are checksummed on write, verified on read
+const checksum = tsmdb.calculateDocumentChecksum(doc);
+const isValid = tsmdb.verifyChecksum(docWithChecksum);
+```
+
 ### 📋 Supported Wire Protocol Commands

 | Category | Commands |
 |----------|----------|
-| **Handshake** | `hello`, `isMaster` |
+| **Handshake** | `hello`, `isMaster`, `ismaster` |
 | **CRUD** | `find`, `insert`, `update`, `delete`, `findAndModify`, `getMore`, `killCursors` |
 | **Aggregation** | `aggregate`, `count`, `distinct` |
 | **Indexes** | `createIndexes`, `dropIndexes`, `listIndexes` |
-| **Admin** | `ping`, `listDatabases`, `listCollections`, `drop`, `dropDatabase`, `create`, `serverStatus`, `buildInfo` |
+| **Transactions** | `startTransaction`, `commitTransaction`, `abortTransaction` |
