 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-04-30 - 1.4.0 - feat(package)
+improve package metadata and standardize project configuration
+
+- replace npmextra.json with .smartconfig.json and expand project metadata
+- add package publishing metadata including files, keywords, homepage, repository, bugs, and packageManager
+- tighten TypeScript configuration with noImplicitAny and explicit node types
+- update build tooling dependencies and remove the allowimplicitany build flag
+- add a license file and align readme references and install instructions
+
+## 2026-03-14 - 1.3.2 - fix(rustbinarylocator)
+support resolving platform-suffixed local Rust binaries
+
+- Checks local Rust build paths for binaries with platform suffixes such as _linux_amd64 in addition to unsuffixed names
+- Adds platform and architecture suffix mapping for linux, darwin, windows, x64, and arm64
+
+## 2026-02-26 - 1.3.1 - fix(readme)
+document socket transport and clarify stdio/socket differences in README
+
+- Add 'Two Transport Modes' section documenting stdio (spawn) and socket (connect) modes
+- Add examples for connect(), socket usage, and auto-reconnect with exponential backoff
+- Clarify protocol is transport-agnostic and update ready/stream/event descriptions
+- Update event docs: mark stderr as stdio-only and add 'reconnected' event for socket transports
+- Clarify kill() behavior for both stdio and socket transports
+- Add API reference entries for SocketTransport, StdioTransport, ISocketConnectOptions, IRustTransport, and LineScanner
+- Add platform notes, architecture diagram, and minimal Rust/socket usage guidance
+
+## 2026-02-26 - 1.3.0 - feat(transport)
+introduce transport abstraction and socket-mode support for RustBridge
+
+- Add IRustTransport interface and two transport implementations: StdioTransport (spawns child process and uses stdin/stdout) and SocketTransport (connects to Unix socket / Windows named pipe).
+- Refactor RustBridge to use a transport abstraction (connectWithTransport) and add connect(socketPath) to attach to an existing daemon via socket.
+- Introduce LineScanner: a buffer-based newline scanner used by both transports to handle large/newline-delimited messages and avoid OOMs.
+- Add socket connection options (autoReconnect, reconnectBaseDelayMs, reconnectMaxDelayMs, maxReconnectAttempts) and implement auto-reconnect/backoff behavior in SocketTransport.
+- Implement backpressure-aware write semantics and proper disconnect/cleanup for both transports; RustBridge.kill() now disconnects the transport instead of directly managing processes.
+- Add tests and tooling: socket transport tests, line scanner tests, and a mock-socket-server.mjs helper script for testing socket mode.
+- Export new symbols (StdioTransport, SocketTransport, LineScanner) and update plugins to expose net; update interfaces to export transport types.
+
+## 2026-02-12 - 1.2.1 - fix(rust-binary-locator)
+auto-fix missing execute permission for located Rust binaries
+
+- If a located binary exists but lacks the execute bit, attempt to chmod it to 0o755 and treat it as executable.
+- Logs an info message when the auto-fix is applied: 'Auto-fixed missing execute permission on: <filePath>'.
+- Addresses cases where npm/pnpm installs remove the execute permission from bundled binaries.
+
 ## 2026-02-11 - 1.2.0 - feat(rustbridge)
 add streaming responses and robust large-payload/backpressure handling to RustBridge

 ## Overview 🔭
 
-`@push.rocks/smartrust` provides a complete bridge for TypeScript applications that need to communicate with Rust binaries.

+`@push.rocks/smartrust` provides a complete bridge for TypeScript applications that need to communicate with Rust binaries. It handles the entire lifecycle — binary discovery, process spawning **or socket connection**, request/response correlation, **streaming responses**, event pub/sub, and graceful shutdown — so you can focus on your command definitions instead of IPC plumbing.
+
+### Two Transport Modes 🔌
+
+| Mode | Method | Use Case |
+|------|--------|----------|
+| **Stdio** | `bridge.spawn()` | Spawn the Rust binary as a child process. Communicate via stdin/stdout. |
+| **Socket** | `bridge.connect(path)` | Connect to an **already-running** Rust daemon via Unix socket or Windows named pipe. |
+
+The JSON protocol is identical in both modes — only the transport layer changes. Socket mode enables use cases where the Rust binary runs as a **privileged system service** (e.g., a VPN daemon needing root for TUN devices, a network proxy binding to privileged ports) while the TypeScript app connects to it unprivileged.
 
 ### Why? 🤔
 
 If you're integrating Rust into a Node.js project, you'll inevitably need:
 - A way to **find** the compiled Rust binary across different environments (dev, CI, production, platform packages)
-- A way to **spawn** it and establish reliable two-way communication
+- A way to **spawn it** or **connect to it** and establish reliable two-way communication
 - **Type-safe** request/response patterns with proper error handling
 - **Streaming responses** for progressive data processing, log tailing, or chunked transfers
 - **Event streaming** from Rust to TypeScript
-- **Graceful lifecycle management** (ready detection, clean shutdown, force kill)
+- **Graceful lifecycle management** (ready detection, clean shutdown, auto-reconnection)
 
-`smartrust` wraps all of this into three classes: `RustBridge`, `RustBinaryLocator`, and `StreamingResponse`.
+`smartrust` wraps all of this into a clean API: `RustBridge`, `RustBinaryLocator`, `StreamingResponse`, and pluggable transports.
 
 ## Usage 🚀
 
 ### The IPC Protocol

 ```
 
+### Socket Mode — Connect to a Running Daemon 🔗
+
+When the Rust binary runs as a system service (e.g., via `systemd`, `launchd`, or a Windows Service), use `connect()` to talk to it over a Unix socket or named pipe:
+
+```typescript
+const bridge = new RustBridge<TMyCommands>({
+  binaryName: 'my-daemon',  // used for logging / error messages
+});
+
+// Connect to the daemon's management socket
+const ok = await bridge.connect('/var/run/my-daemon.sock');
+if (!ok) {
+  console.error('Failed to connect to daemon');
+  process.exit(1);
+}
+
+// Same API as stdio mode — completely transparent!
+const { pid } = await bridge.sendCommand('start', { port: 8080, host: '0.0.0.0' });
+const metrics = await bridge.sendCommand('getMetrics', {});
+
+// kill() closes the socket — it does NOT kill the daemon
+bridge.kill();
+```
+
+#### Auto-Reconnect
+
+For long-running applications, enable automatic reconnection with exponential backoff:
+
+```typescript
+const ok = await bridge.connect('/var/run/my-daemon.sock', {
+  autoReconnect: true,          // reconnect on unexpected disconnect
+  reconnectBaseDelayMs: 100,    // initial retry delay (doubles each attempt)
+  reconnectMaxDelayMs: 30000,   // max retry delay cap
+  maxReconnectAttempts: 10,     // give up after 10 attempts
+});
+
+// Listen for reconnection events
+bridge.on('reconnected', () => {
+  console.log('Reconnected to daemon!');
+});
+```
+
+#### Platform Notes
+
+| Platform | Socket Path Format | Example |
+|----------|-------------------|---------|
+| **Linux** | `/var/run/<name>.sock` or `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/<name>.sock` | `/var/run/my-daemon.sock` |
+| **macOS** | `/var/run/<name>.sock` | `/var/run/my-daemon.sock` |
+| **Windows** | `\\.\pipe\<name>` | `\\.\pipe\my-daemon` |
+
+Node.js `net.connect()` handles all formats transparently — no platform-specific code needed.
+
 ### Streaming Commands 🌊
 
 For commands where the Rust binary sends a series of chunks before a final result, use `sendCommandStreaming`. This is perfect for progressive data processing, log tailing, search results, or any scenario where you want incremental output.
