+# Changelog
+
+## 2026-02-15 - 4.2.2 - fix(npmextra)
+restructure npmextra.json: flatten @git.zone/cli and tsdoc to top-level, add Verdaccio registry and @ship.zone/szci entry, remove deprecated npmci and gitzone keys

+
+- CronManager: add wakeCycle (Deferred) to wake the sleeping cycle immediately when jobs change
+- CronManager: refactor runCronCycle to compute the soonest next execution (soonestMs), await timeout or wake signal, handle overdue jobs without waiting, and cancel timeouts to avoid lingering timers

+- Stop logic: safely cancel executionTimeout only if present and ensure the cycle is woken when stopping
+- Tests: switch test imports to @git.zone/tstest/tapbundle
+- Dependencies: bump several devDependencies and dependencies (tsbuild, tsbundle, tstest, croner, smartpromise, dayjs, pretty-ms, etc.)
+- Docs/config: expand README with examples and security/reporting info; add @git.zone/cli release config to npmextra.json

 ## Usage
 
-Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.
+`@push.rocks/smarttime` is a comprehensive TypeScript-first toolkit for working with time. It covers everything from cron-based scheduling and extended date manipulation to high-resolution measurements, timers, intervals, and human-readable time formatting.
 
-Smarttime offers smart ways to deal with time.
+All examples below use ESM imports and TypeScript.
 
-### class CronManager
+### ⏱️ Time Units & Calculations
 
-This class provides scheduling of functions with a cron syntax
+Convert human-readable time durations into milliseconds using the `units` helpers and `getMilliSecondsFromUnits`:
 
 ```typescript
-import { CronManager } from '@pushrocks/smarrtime';
-const cronManagerInstance = new CronManager();
-cronManagerInstance.addConrjob('* * * * * *', async () => {
-  console.log('hello'); // will log 'hello' to console once every second;
+import { units, getMilliSecondsFromUnits } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+// Individual unit conversions
+const oneDay = units.days(1);       // 86400000
+const twoHours = units.hours(2);    // 7200000
+const thirtySeconds = units.seconds(30); // 30000
+
+// Combined duration — great for timeouts, TTLs, cache expiration, etc.
+const duration = getMilliSecondsFromUnits({
+  years: 1,
+  months: 2,
+  weeks: 3,
+  days: 4,
+  hours: 5,
+  minutes: 6,
+  seconds: 7,
 });
-cronManagerInstance.start();
+
+console.log(`Duration: ${duration}ms`);
 ```
 
-### class ExtendedDate
+### 🗓️ Human-Readable Time Formatting
 
-This class offers static functions to create zone specific JavaScript dates from European formated time strings.
+Turn raw milliseconds into a friendly string, or get a relative "time ago" description:
 
-```TypeScript
-import { ExtendedDate } from '@pushrocks/smarttime'
-const myDate: Date = ExtendedDate.fromEuropeanDate('8.6.2018')
+```typescript
+import {
+  getMilliSecondsAsHumanReadableString,
+  getMilliSecondsAsHumanReadableAgoTime,
+} from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+// "2h 30m"
+console.log(getMilliSecondsAsHumanReadableString(9_000_000));
+
+// "5 minutes ago" style output
+const fiveMinutesAgo = Date.now() - 5 * 60 * 1000;
+console.log(getMilliSecondsAsHumanReadableAgoTime(fiveMinutesAgo));
 ```
 
+### 🔄 CronManager — Scheduled Task Execution
 
-## Contribution
+The `CronManager` lets you register and run multiple cron jobs using standard 6-field cron syntax (seconds included). Powered by [croner](https://github.com/Hexagon/croner).
 
-We are always happy for code contributions. If you are not the code contributing type that is ok. Still, maintaining Open Source repositories takes considerable time and thought. If you like the quality of what we do and our modules are useful to you we would appreciate a little monthly contribution: You can [contribute one time](https://lossless.link/contribute-onetime) or [contribute monthly](https://lossless.link/contribute). :)
+```typescript
+import { CronManager } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme.
+const cronManager = new CronManager();
 
-> MIT licensed | **©** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh)
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
+// Run every 10 seconds
+const job1 = cronManager.addCronjob('*/10 * * * * *', async (triggerTime) => {
+  console.log(`Job 1 triggered at ${new Date(triggerTime).toISOString()}`);
+});
 
-[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com)
+// Run every full minute
+const job2 = cronManager.addCronjob('0 * * * * *', async () => {
+  console.log('Full minute tick!');
+});
+
+// Start all registered jobs
+cronManager.start();
+
+// Later: remove a specific job
+cronManager.removeCronjob(job1);
+
+// Stop all jobs
+cronManager.stop();
+```
+
+The `CronManager` automatically calculates the shortest sleep interval between jobs and efficiently schedules wake-ups — no polling required.
+
+### 📅 ExtendedDate — Enhanced Date Handling
+
+`ExtendedDate` extends the native JavaScript `Date` with factory methods for common date formats and useful inspection methods:
+
+```typescript
+import { ExtendedDate } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+// From European format: "DD.MM.YYYY"
+const date1 = ExtendedDate.fromEuropeanDate('25.12.2024');
+
+// From European date + time with timezone context
+const date2 = ExtendedDate.fromEuropeanDateAndTime('25.12.2024', '14:30:00', 'Europe/Berlin');
+
+// From hyphenated date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+const date3 = ExtendedDate.fromHyphedDate('2024-12-25');
+
+// From milliseconds
+const date4 = ExtendedDate.fromMillis(Date.now());
+
+// From an existing Date object
+const date5 = ExtendedDate.fromDate(new Date());
+
+// Export back to various formats
+console.log(date1.exportToEuropeanDate());         // "25.12.2024"
+console.log(date1.exportToHyphedSortableDate());   // "2024-12-25"
+
+// Get structured date units
+const units = date1.exportToUnits();
+console.log(units.monthName);         // "December"
+console.log(units.dayOfTheWeekName);  // "Wednesday"
+
+// Custom formatting (via dayjs)
+console.log(date1.format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm'));
+
+// Boolean checks
+console.log(date4.isToday());  // true
+
+// Time comparison: has less than 1 hour passed since this date?
+console.log(date4.lessTimePassedToNow({ hours: 1 }));  // true
+console.log(date4.moreTimePassedToNow({ days: 1 }));   // false
+```
+
+### ⏱️ HrtMeasurement — High-Resolution Timing
+
+Measure the duration of operations with precision:
+
+```typescript
+import { HrtMeasurement } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+const measurement = new HrtMeasurement();
+measurement.start();
+
+// ... perform some operation ...
+
+measurement.stop();
+console.log(`Took ${measurement.milliSeconds}ms`);
+console.log(`Took ${measurement.nanoSeconds}ns`);
+
+// Reset and reuse
+measurement.reset();
+measurement.start();
+// ...
+```
+
+### ⏲️ Timer — Pausable Countdown
+
+A promise-based timer with pause, resume, and reset capabilities:
+
+```typescript
+import { Timer } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+const timer = new Timer(5000); // 5-second countdown
+timer.start();
+
+// Await completion
+await timer.completed;
+console.log('Timer finished!');
+
+// Or use pause/resume
+const timer2 = new Timer(10000);
+timer2.start();
+
+// Pause after 3 seconds
+setTimeout(() => timer2.pause(), 3000);
+
+// Resume later
+setTimeout(() => timer2.resume(), 6000);
+
+await timer2.completed;
+
+// Reset completely and start over
+timer2.reset();
+timer2.start();
+```
+
+Check remaining time with `timer.timeLeft`.
+
+### 🔁 Interval — Repeating Jobs
+
+Run functions at a fixed interval with start/stop control:
+
+```typescript
+import { Interval } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+const interval = new Interval(2000); // Every 2 seconds
+
+interval.addIntervalJob(() => {
+  console.log('Tick!', new Date().toISOString());
+});
+
+interval.addIntervalJob(() => {
+  console.log('Another parallel job');
+});
+
+interval.start();
+
+// Stop later
+setTimeout(() => interval.stop(), 10000);
+```
+
+### 🕰️ TimeStamp — Comparison & Tracking
+
+The `TimeStamp` class captures a moment in time and provides comparison utilities:
+
+```typescript
+import { TimeStamp } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+const stamp1 = new TimeStamp();
+// ... some time passes ...
+const stamp2 = new TimeStamp();
+
+console.log(stamp1.milliSeconds);  // Unix ms
+console.log(stamp1.epochtime);     // Unix seconds
+
+// Comparison
+console.log(stamp1.isOlderThan(stamp2));                  // true
+console.log(stamp2.isYoungerThanOtherTimeStamp(stamp1));   // true
+
+// Derived timestamps track change
+const derived = TimeStamp.fromTimeStamp(stamp1);
+console.log(`${derived.change}ms have passed since stamp1`);
+
+// From known milliseconds
+const known = TimeStamp.fromMilliSeconds(1700000000000);
+```
