-    public: 'somestring', // optional
-    host: 'github.com',
-    encoding: 'base64' // optional, defaults to "utf8", can be "utf8" or "base64", useful for reading ssh keys from environment variables
-  })
-);
-

-
-sshInstance.createKey({
-  host: 'gitlab.com' // returns new key in the form sshKey, read more about the sshKey class below
-});
-
-sshInstance.getKey({
-  // returns ssh key in the form sshKey, read more about the sshKey class below
-  host: 'github.com'
-});
-
-sshInstance.getKeys(); // returns array of all available getKeys. Each key is in form of class sshKey

+# @push.rocks/smartssh
+
+Secure SSH configuration, key management, and remote machine control for modern TypeScript projects. `@push.rocks/smartssh` gives you two things in one focused package: safe local OpenSSH config/key orchestration and a promise-first SSH client for executing commands, opening shells, transferring files, and forwarding ports.
+
+Built on top of the pure JavaScript `ssh2` engine, it keeps the low-level protocol details out of your application while still exposing the control you need for serious automation.
+
+## Issue Reporting and Security
+
+For reporting bugs, issues, or security vulnerabilities, please visit [community.foss.global/](https://community.foss.global/). This is the central community hub for all issue reporting. Developers who sign and comply with our contribution agreement and go through identification can also get a [code.foss.global/](https://code.foss.global/) account to submit Pull Requests directly.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pnpm add @push.rocks/smartssh
+```
+
+## What It Does
+
+- Manage SSH keys as typed `SshKey` objects.
+- Generate OpenSSH-compatible config files with secure defaults.
+- Read managed key material back from disk.
+- Connect to remote machines with `SshClient`.
+- Execute commands and collect stdout, stderr, exit code, and signal.
+- Stream long-running commands or start interactive shells.
+- Use SFTP for uploads, downloads, file reads, writes, stats, permissions, and directory operations.
+- Forward TCP connections through SSH.
+- Verify host keys by SHA256 or MD5 fingerprints, with explicit opt-out for disposable test systems.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { SshClient, SshKey } from '@push.rocks/smartssh';
+
+const privateKey = SshKey.fromFile('/home/deploy/.ssh/id_ed25519');
+
+const sshClient = await SshClient.connect({
+  host: 'server.example.com',
+  username: 'deploy',
+  privateKey,
+  trustedHostFingerprints: ['SHA256:replaceWithYourKnownHostFingerprint'],
+});
+
+const result = await sshClient.exec('uname -a');
+
+console.log(result.code);
+console.log(result.stdout);
+console.error(result.stderr);
+
+await sshClient.close();
+```
+
+## Secure Defaults
+
+`smartssh` is intentionally conservative:
+
+- SSH config generation writes `StrictHostKeyChecking yes` by default.
+- `SshClient.connect()` requires host validation by default.
+- Private key files are written with `0600` permissions.
+- Public key files are written with `0644` permissions.
+- SSH directories are created with `0700` permissions.
+- Host aliases are validated before they are used as filenames or config entries.
+
+For local throwaway test servers you can explicitly opt out of host checking:
+
+```typescript
+const sshClient = await SshClient.connect({
+  host: '127.0.0.1',
+  username: 'tester',
+  password: 'secret',
+  strictHostKeyChecking: false,
+});
+```
+
+Do not disable host checking for production infrastructure unless another trust layer is already enforcing host identity.
+
+## Key Management
+
+Create keys in memory:
+
+```typescript
+import { SshKey } from '@push.rocks/smartssh';
+
+const githubKey = new SshKey({
+  host: 'github.com',
+  private: process.env.GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY,
+  public: process.env.GITHUB_PUBLIC_KEY,
+});
+
+console.log(githubKey.type); // 'duplex', 'private', 'public', or undefined
+console.log(githubKey.privKeyBase64);
+```
+
+Load keys from files:
+
+```typescript
+const deployKey = SshKey.fromFile('/home/deploy/.ssh/id_ed25519');
+
+const combinedKey = SshKey.fromFiles({
+  host: 'production-app',
+  privateKeyPath: '/home/deploy/.ssh/production-app',
+  publicKeyPath: '/home/deploy/.ssh/production-app.pub',
+});
+```
+
+Store keys safely:
+
+```typescript
+await combinedKey.store('/home/deploy/.ssh');
+```
+
+## OpenSSH Config Management
+
+Use `SshInstance` when you want to manage a whole SSH directory and config file.
+
+```typescript
+import { SshInstance, SshKey } from '@push.rocks/smartssh';
+
+const sshInstance = new SshInstance({
+  sshDirPath: '/home/deploy/.ssh',
+  strictHostKeyChecking: true,
+});
+
+sshInstance.addKey(
+  new SshKey({
+    host: 'git.example.com',
+    private: process.env.GIT_PRIVATE_KEY,
+    public: process.env.GIT_PUBLIC_KEY,
+  })
+);
+
+sshInstance.writeToDisk();
+```
+
+Generated config example:
+
+```sshconfig
+Host git.example.com
+  HostName git.example.com
+  IdentityFile /home/deploy/.ssh/git.example.com
+  StrictHostKeyChecking yes
+```
+
+Read keys back from disk:
+
+```typescript
+const existingSsh = new SshInstance({
+  sshDirPath: '/home/deploy/.ssh',
+});
+
+existingSsh.readFromDisk();
+
+const key = existingSsh.getKey('git.example.com');
+console.log(key?.pubKey);
+```
+
+## Remote Command Execution
+
+`exec()` waits for the remote command to finish and returns a structured result.
+
+```typescript
+const result = await sshClient.exec('systemctl is-active nginx', {
+  timeout: 10_000,
+});
+
+if (result.code !== 0) {
+  throw new Error(result.stderr);
+}
+
+console.log(result.stdout.trim());
+```
+
+Send input to a command:
+
+```typescript
+const result = await sshClient.exec('cat > /tmp/message.txt', {
+  input: 'hello from smartssh\n',
+});
+```
+
+Abort or time-limit a command:
+
+```typescript
+const abortController = new AbortController();
+
+setTimeout(() => abortController.abort(), 5_000);
+
+await sshClient.exec('sleep 60', {
+  signal: abortController.signal,
+});
+```
+
+## Streaming Commands and Shells
+
+Use `stream()` for long-running commands where you want to handle output as it arrives.
+
+```typescript
+const stream = await sshClient.stream('tail -f /var/log/syslog');
+
+stream.on('data', (chunk) => {
+  process.stdout.write(chunk);
+});
+
+stream.stderr.on('data', (chunk) => {
+  process.stderr.write(chunk);
+});
+```
+
+Start an interactive shell:
+
+```typescript
+const shell = await sshClient.shell({
+  window: {
+    rows: 40,
+    cols: 120,
+    term: 'xterm-256color',
+  },
+});
+
+shell.write('whoami\n');
+shell.write('exit\n');
+```
+
+## SFTP
+
+Create an SFTP client from an active SSH connection:
+
+```typescript
+const sftp = await sshClient.sftp();
+```
+
+Upload and download files:
+
+```typescript
+await sftp.upload({
+  localPath: './dist/app.tar.gz',
+  remotePath: '/tmp/app.tar.gz',
+});
+
+await sftp.download({
+  remotePath: '/var/log/app.log',
+  localPath: './app.log',
+});
+```
+
+Read and write remote files:
+
+```typescript
+const osRelease = await sftp.readFile('/etc/os-release', 'utf8');
+
+await sftp.writeFile('/tmp/deploy.json', JSON.stringify({
+  version: '1.2.3',
+}));
+```
+
+Inspect and manage remote paths:
+
+```typescript
+const files = await sftp.readdir('/var/www');
+const stats = await sftp.stat('/var/www/app');
+
+await sftp.mkdir('/tmp/smartssh');
+await sftp.chmod('/tmp/smartssh', 0o755);
+await sftp.rename('/tmp/old-name', '/tmp/new-name');
+await sftp.remove('/tmp/new-name');
+```
+
+## Port Forwarding
+
+Open a direct TCP channel through the SSH server:
+
+```typescript
+const channel = await sshClient.forwardOut({
+  destinationHost: '127.0.0.1',
+  destinationPort: 5432,
+});
+
+channel.write('raw tcp payload');
+```
+
+Ask the remote SSH server to listen and forward incoming TCP connections:
+
+```typescript
+const forward = await sshClient.forwardIn({
+  remoteHost: '127.0.0.1',
+  remotePort: 0,
+});
+
+console.log(`Remote port: ${forward.remotePort}`);
+
+await forward.close();
+```
+
+## API Overview
+
+### `SshClient`
+
+- `SshClient.connect(profile)` creates and connects a client in one step.
+- `connect()` opens the SSH connection for an existing instance.
+- `exec(command, options)` runs a command and returns `ISshExecResult`.
+- `stream(command, options)` opens a command channel for streaming output.
+- `shell(options)` starts an interactive shell channel.
+- `sftp()` returns a typed `SshSftpClient`.
+- `forwardOut(options)` opens a direct TCP channel through SSH.
+- `forwardIn(options)` creates a remote listener and returns a closeable handle.
+- `close()` ends the connection.
+- `fingerprintSha256(key)` and `fingerprintMd5(key)` generate comparable host key fingerprints.
+
+### `SshSftpClient`
+
+- `upload({ localPath, remotePath })`
+- `download({ remotePath, localPath })`
+- `readFile(remotePath, encoding?)`
+- `writeFile(remotePath, data)`
+- `readdir(remotePath)`
+- `stat(remotePath)` and `lstat(remotePath)`
+- `mkdir(remotePath, attributes?)`
+- `chmod(remotePath, mode)`
+- `rename(sourcePath, destinationPath)`
+- `remove(remotePath)` and `rmdir(remotePath)`
+
+### `SshKey`
+
+- Construct with `{ host, private, public, authorized }`.
+- Read and write private/public key strings.
+- Encode and decode key material with `privKeyBase64` and `pubKeyBase64`.
+- Load keys from disk with `fromFile()` or `fromFiles()`.
+- Store keys to disk with safe permissions via `store()`.
+- Inspect `type` as `duplex`, `private`, `public`, or `undefined`.
+
+### `SshInstance`
+
+- `addKey(key)`, `removeKey(key)`, and `replaceKey(oldKey, newKey)` manage key collections.
+- `getKey(host)` retrieves a managed key by host alias.
+- `sshKeys` exposes the current key array.
+- `writeToDisk(dirPath?)` writes keys and config.
+- `readFromDisk(dirPath?)` reads key files from an SSH directory.
+- `sshSync: true` keeps disk state in sync on key changes.
+
+### `SshConfig`
+
+- `store(dirPath)` writes an OpenSSH config file.
+- `read(dirPath)` reads the config file.
+- `parse(dirPath)` parses host blocks from a config file.
+- `SshConfig.parse(configString)` parses host blocks from a string.
+
+## Types You Will Usually Import
+
+```typescript
+import type {
+  ISshProfile,
+  ISshExecOptions,
+  ISshExecResult,
+  ISshUploadOptions,
+  ISshDownloadOptions,
+  ISshForwardInHandle,
+  ISshForwardInOptions,
+  ISshForwardOutOptions,
+  ISshShellOptions,
+  TSshHostVerifier,
+} from '@push.rocks/smartssh';
+```
+
+## Real-World Flow
+
+```typescript
+import { SshClient, SshKey } from '@push.rocks/smartssh';
+
+const key = SshKey.fromFile('/home/deploy/.ssh/production');
+
+const server = await SshClient.connect({
+  host: 'app-01.example.com',
+  username: 'deploy',
+  privateKey: key,
+  trustedHostFingerprints: ['SHA256:replaceWithTheRealFingerprint'],
+  keepaliveInterval: 30_000,
+});
+
+try {
+  const sftp = await server.sftp();
+
+  await sftp.upload({
+    localPath: './release.tar.gz',
+    remotePath: '/tmp/release.tar.gz',
+  });
+
+  const deploy = await server.exec([
+    'set -e',
+    'mkdir -p /srv/app',
+    'tar -xzf /tmp/release.tar.gz -C /srv/app',
+    'systemctl restart app',
+  ].join(' && '), {
+    timeout: 120_000,
+  });
+
+  if (deploy.code !== 0) {
+    throw new Error(deploy.stderr);
+  }
+} finally {
+  await server.close();
+}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- The package is ESM-first and intended for TypeScript projects.
+- `ssh2` is used directly as the SSH protocol engine.
+- Config generation is intentionally simple and focused on managed host/key entries.
+- `readFromDisk()` reads key files from the SSH directory; it does not attempt to preserve or rewrite arbitrary user-managed config comments.
+- Host aliases are intentionally restricted to filename-safe values to avoid path traversal and config injection.
