-
-mySmartChok.add(['/some/**/*.any']); // add files
-
-mySmartChok.remove('some/**/*.js');
-
-mySmartChok.start(); // starts the watch process
-
-mySmartChok.getObservableFor('change').then(observableArg => {
-  observableArg.subscribe(x => {
-    // do something here when a change is detected
-    // possible events are 'add' | 'addDir' | 'change' | 'error' | 'unlink' | 'unlinkDir' | 'ready' | 'raw'
-    // note that the observable is only created once you call .start() on the Smartchok instance
-    // hence the promise construction
-  });
-});
-
-mySmartChok.stop();

+# Changelog
+
+## 2025-11-30 - 4.0.1 - fix(readme)
+Update README: refine description and clarify trademark/legal information
+
+- Refined project description and tagline for clarity and brevity (adds lightweight wording and an emoji).
+- Updated Trademark section to explicitly mention third-party trademarks, add guidance about usage and approval, and clarify that trademarks are not covered by the MIT license.
+- Minor legal/company wording and formatting fixes (e.g. 'District Court' capitalization and contact sentence tweaks).
+- General README wording and formatting improvements for clearer instructions and feature descriptions.
+
+## 2025-11-30 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(watchers)
+Replace chokidar with native platform watchers and add cross-runtime support (Node.js, Deno, Bun); introduce write stabilization and internal glob matching
+
+- Replaced chokidar-based implementation with native file watching APIs (Node.js fs.watch, Deno.watchFs).
+- Added platform-specific watchers: NodeWatcher and DenoWatcher (Bun uses Node compatibility).
+- Implemented polling-based write stabilization (awaitWriteFinish replacement) to avoid duplicate events during writes.
+- Keep glob pattern support by matching events internally using picomatch; base-path extraction used to limit watch scope.
+- API/runtime requirement increased: Node.js >= 20.0.0 is required for native recursive fs.watch.
+- Package/documentation name and examples updated to @push.rocks/smartchok and export the Smartwatch class.
+
+## 2025-11-30 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(smartwatch)
+Introduce Smartwatch: cross-runtime native file watching for Node.js, Deno and Bun; rename smartchok to smartwatch and bump major version to 2.0.0
+
+- Rename public API and docs from Smartchok to Smartwatch and update package metadata for the new module name.
+- Replace chokidar with native watchers and picomatch-based glob filtering to enable cross-runtime support (Node.js, Deno, Bun).
+- Add watcher factory and runtime-specific implementations: watchers/index.ts, watcher.node.ts, watcher.deno.ts.
+- Add WriteStabilizer (ts/utils/write-stabilizer.ts) to provide awaitWriteFinish functionality via polling.
+- Introduce @push.rocks/smartenv for runtime detection and remove direct chokidar dependency; update dependencies accordingly.
+- Update tests (test/test.ts) and documentation (readme.md, readme.hints.md) to reflect API/name changes and new architecture.
+- Bump package version to 2.0.0 to mark breaking changes in API and behavior.
+
+## 2025-11-29 - 1.2.0 - feat(core)
+Migrate to chokidar 5.x, add picomatch filtering and update test/dev dependencies
+
+- Upgrade runtime dependencies: chokidar -> ^5.0.0 and picomatch -> ^4.0.3; bumped related @push.rocks packages versions.
+- Upgrade devDependencies: @git.zone/tsbuild, @git.zone/tsrun and @git.zone/tstest to newer v2/v3 releases; updated @types/node.
+- Updated README and readme.hints to document migration to chokidar 5.x and dev dependency changes.
+- Tests updated to use @git.zone/tstest/tapbundle (import change) and test runner start changed to export default tap.start().
+- Smartchok implementation updated to extract glob base paths, watch base directories and filter events via picomatch matchers (shouldWatchPath + event filtering).
+- Note: ts/00_commitinfo_data.ts still references chokidar 4.x in the description and should be updated to reflect the migration.
+
+## 2025-06-26 - 1.1.1 - fix(package.json)
+Add packageManager field to package.json for pnpm configuration
+
+- Added "packageManager": "pnpm@10.11.0+sha512.6540583f41cc5f628eb3d9773ecee802f4f9ef9923cc45b69890fb47991d4b092964694ec3a4f738a420c918a333062c8b925d312f42e4f0c263eb603551f977" to package.json
+
+## 2025-06-26 - 1.1.0 - feat(Smartchok)
+Migrate to chokidar 4.x with picomatch glob support, update documentation and tests
+
+- Removed deprecated @tempfix/watcher and added chokidar and picomatch as dependencies in package.json
+- Updated Smartchok class to extract base paths and apply custom glob filtering using picomatch
+- Revised readme and technical hints to reflect migration to chokidar 4.x and clarify glob pattern support

+# smartchok - Technical Hints
+
+## Native File Watching (v2.0.0+)
+
+The module now uses native file watching APIs instead of chokidar, providing cross-runtime support for Node.js, Deno, and Bun.
+
+### Exported Class
+
+The package exports the `Smartwatch` class (not `Smartchok`):
+```typescript
+import { Smartwatch } from '@push.rocks/smartchok';
+```
+
+### Architecture
+
+```
+ts/
+├── smartwatch.classes.smartwatch.ts   # Main Smartwatch class
+├── smartwatch.plugins.ts              # Dependencies (smartenv, picomatch, etc.)
+├── watchers/
+│   ├── index.ts                       # Factory with runtime detection
+│   ├── interfaces.ts                  # IWatcher interface and types
+│   ├── watcher.node.ts                # Node.js/Bun implementation (fs.watch)
+│   └── watcher.deno.ts                # Deno implementation (Deno.watchFs)
+└── utils/
+    └── write-stabilizer.ts            # awaitWriteFinish polling implementation
+```
+
+### Runtime Detection
+
+Uses `@push.rocks/smartenv` v6.x for runtime detection:
+- **Node.js/Bun**: Uses native `fs.watch()` with `{ recursive: true }`
+- **Deno**: Uses `Deno.watchFs()` async iterable
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- **picomatch**: Glob pattern matching (zero deps, well-maintained)
+- **@push.rocks/smartenv**: Runtime detection (Node.js, Deno, Bun)
+- **@push.rocks/smartrx**: RxJS Subject/Observable management
+- **@push.rocks/smartpromise**: Deferred promise utilities
+- **@push.rocks/lik**: Stringmap for pattern storage
+
+### Why picomatch?
+
+Native file watching APIs don't support glob patterns. Picomatch provides glob pattern matching with:
+- Zero dependencies
+- 164M+ weekly downloads
+- Excellent security profile
+- Full glob syntax support
+
+### Event Handling
+
+Native events are normalized to a consistent interface:
+
+| Node.js/Bun Event | Deno Event | Normalized Event |
+|-------------------|------------|------------------|
+| `rename` (file exists) | `create` | `add` |
+| `rename` (file gone) | `remove` | `unlink` |
+| `change` | `modify` | `change` |
+
+### awaitWriteFinish Implementation
+
+The `WriteStabilizer` class replaces chokidar's built-in write stabilization:
+- Polls file size until stable (configurable threshold: 300ms default)
+- Configurable poll interval (100ms default)
+- Handles file deletion during write detection
+
+### Platform Requirements
+
+- **Node.js 20+**: Required for native recursive watching on all platforms
+- **Deno**: Works on all versions with `Deno.watchFs()`
+- **Bun**: Uses Node.js compatibility layer
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+pnpm test
+```
+
+Tests verify:
+- Creating Smartwatch instance
+- Adding glob patterns
+- Receiving 'add' events for new files
+- Graceful shutdown
+
+## Dev Dependencies
+
+- Using `@git.zone/tstest` v3.x with tapbundle
+- Import from `@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle`

+# or
+pnpm add @push.rocks/smartchok
+```
+
+## Features
+
+🌐 **Cross-Runtime** — Works seamlessly on Node.js 20+, Deno, and Bun
+🔍 **Glob Pattern Support** — Watch files using familiar patterns like `**/*.ts` and `src/**/*.{js,jsx}`
+📡 **RxJS Observables** — Subscribe to file system events using reactive streams
+🔄 **Dynamic Watching** — Add or remove watch patterns at runtime
+⚡ **Native Performance** — Uses `fs.watch()` on Node.js/Bun and `Deno.watchFs()` on Deno
+✨ **Write Stabilization** — Built-in debouncing prevents duplicate events during file writes
+🎯 **TypeScript First** — Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
+📦 **Minimal Footprint** — No chokidar, no FSEvents bindings — just ~500 lines of focused code
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Setup
+
+```typescript
+import { Smartwatch } from '@push.rocks/smartchok';
+
+// Create a watcher with glob patterns
+const watcher = new Smartwatch([
+  './src/**/*.ts',           // Watch all TypeScript files in src
+  './public/assets/**/*'     // Watch all files in public/assets
+]);
+
+// Start watching
+await watcher.start();
+```
+
+### Subscribing to File Events
+
+Use RxJS observables to react to file system changes:
+
+```typescript
+// Get an observable for file changes
+const changeObservable = await watcher.getObservableFor('change');
+
+changeObservable.subscribe({
+  next: ([path, stats]) => {
+    console.log(`File changed: ${path}`);
+    console.log(`New size: ${stats?.size} bytes`);
+  },
+  error: (err) => {
+    console.error(`Error: ${err}`);
+  }
+});
+
+// Watch for new files
+const addObservable = await watcher.getObservableFor('add');
+addObservable.subscribe(([path]) => {
+  console.log(`File added: ${path}`);
+});
+
+// Watch for deleted files
+const unlinkObservable = await watcher.getObservableFor('unlink');
+unlinkObservable.subscribe(([path]) => {
+  console.log(`File deleted: ${path}`);
+});
+```
+
+### Supported Events
+
+| Event       | Description                    |
+|-------------|--------------------------------|
+| `add`       | File has been added            |
+| `addDir`    | Directory has been added       |
+| `change`    | File has been modified         |
+| `unlink`    | File has been removed          |
+| `unlinkDir` | Directory has been removed     |
+| `error`     | Error occurred                 |
+| `ready`     | Initial scan complete          |
+
+### Dynamic Watch Management
+
+Add or remove patterns while the watcher is running:
+
+```typescript
+const watcher = new Smartwatch(['./src/**/*.ts']);
+await watcher.start();
+
+// Add more patterns to watch
+watcher.add(['./tests/**/*.spec.ts', './config/*.json']);
+
+// Remove a pattern
+watcher.remove('./src/**/*.test.ts');
+```
+
+### Stopping the Watcher
+
+```typescript
+// Stop watching when done
+await watcher.stop();
+```
+
+### Complete Example
+
+```typescript
+import { Smartwatch } from '@push.rocks/smartchok';
+
+async function watchProject() {
+  // Initialize with patterns
+  const watcher = new Smartwatch([
+    './src/**/*.ts',
+    './package.json'
+  ]);
+
+  // Start the watcher
+  await watcher.start();
+  console.log('👀 Watching for changes...');
+
+  // Subscribe to changes
+  const changes = await watcher.getObservableFor('change');
+  changes.subscribe(([path, stats]) => {
+    console.log(`📝 Modified: ${path}`);
+    console.log(`   Size: ${stats?.size ?? 'unknown'} bytes`);
+  });
+
+  // Subscribe to new files
+  const additions = await watcher.getObservableFor('add');
+  additions.subscribe(([path]) => {
+    console.log(`✨ New file: ${path}`);
+  });
+
+  // Subscribe to deletions
+  const deletions = await watcher.getObservableFor('unlink');
+  deletions.subscribe(([path]) => {
+    console.log(`🗑️ Deleted: ${path}`);
+  });
+
+  // Handle graceful shutdown
+  process.on('SIGINT', async () => {
+    console.log('\n🛑 Stopping watcher...');
+    await watcher.stop();
+    process.exit(0);
+  });
+}
+
+watchProject();
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+smartchok uses native file watching APIs for each runtime:
+
+| Runtime         | API Used                         |
+|-----------------|----------------------------------|
+| **Node.js 20+** | `fs.watch({ recursive: true })`  |
+| **Deno**        | `Deno.watchFs()`                 |
+| **Bun**         | Node.js compatibility layer      |
+
+### Under the Hood
+
+Native file watching APIs don't support glob patterns directly, so smartchok handles pattern matching internally:
+
+1. **Base path extraction** — Extracts the static portion from each glob pattern (e.g., `./src/` from `./src/**/*.ts`)
+2. **Efficient watching** — Native watchers monitor only the base directories
+3. **Pattern filtering** — Events are filtered through [picomatch](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch) matchers before emission
+4. **Event deduplication** — Built-in throttling prevents duplicate events from rapid file operations
+
+### Write Stabilization
+
+smartchok includes built-in write stabilization (similar to chokidar's `awaitWriteFinish`). When a file is being written, events are held until the file size stabilizes, preventing multiple events for a single write operation.
+
+Default settings:
+- **Stability threshold**: 300ms
+- **Poll interval**: 100ms
+
+## Requirements
+
+| Runtime         | Version                                |
+|-----------------|----------------------------------------|
+| **Node.js**     | 20+ (required for native recursive watching) |
+| **Deno**        | Any version with `Deno.watchFs()` support |
+| **Bun**         | Uses Node.js compatibility             |
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `Smartwatch`
+
+#### Constructor
+
+```typescript
+new Smartwatch(patterns: string[])
+```
+

+# Migration Plan: smartchok to Chokidar 4.x
+
+Command to reread CLAUDE.md: `cat /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md`
+
+## MIGRATION COMPLETED ✅
+
+All phases of the migration have been successfully completed:
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+- **Current dependency**: `@tempfix/watcher` v2.3.0 (a fork of fabiospampinato/watcher)
+- **Target**: Chokidar v4.0.3
+- **Major challenge**: Chokidar 4.x removed glob support, but smartchok heavily uses glob patterns
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Preparation
+1. Install chokidar 4.x and glob library for pattern matching
+   - `pnpm install chokidar@^4.0.3`
+   - `pnpm install picomatch` (for glob pattern matching)
+   - `pnpm uninstall @tempfix/watcher`
+
+### Phase 2: Code Changes
+
+#### 2.1 Update Plugin Imports (ts/smartchok.plugins.ts)
+- Remove `@tempfix/watcher` import
+- Add `chokidar` import
+- Add `picomatch` for glob pattern matching
+
+#### 2.2 Update Smartchok Class (ts/smartchok.classes.smartchok.ts)
+- Replace watcher initialization with chokidar
+- Implement custom glob filtering using picomatch
+- Update event mapping to match chokidar's event names
+- Adjust watcher options to match chokidar's API
+
+#### 2.3 Handle Glob Patterns
+Since chokidar 4.x removed glob support, we need to:
+- Parse glob patterns to extract base directories
+- Use chokidar to watch base directories
+- Use picomatch to filter events based on glob patterns
+- Ensure backward compatibility with existing API
+
+#### 2.4 Event Mapping
+Map chokidar events to existing smartchok events:
+- Keep existing event names for backward compatibility
+- Ensure all current functionality is preserved
+
+### Phase 3: Testing
+1. Run existing tests to ensure backward compatibility
+2. Add new tests for glob pattern handling
+3. Test edge cases with complex glob patterns
+4. Verify performance with large file sets
+
+### Phase 4: Documentation
+1. Update readme.md to reflect the change to chokidar 4.x
+2. Document any API changes (if any)
+3. Update version number in package.json
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Key Differences to Handle:
+1. **Glob Support**: Implement custom glob filtering layer
+2. **API Changes**: Adapt initialization and option passing
+3. **Event Names**: Map between different event naming conventions
+4. **Minimum Node Version**: Ensure compatibility with Node 14+
+
+### Risk Mitigation:
+- Maintain backward compatibility with existing API
+- Extensive testing with current test suite
+- Consider keeping a legacy branch if breaking changes are unavoidable
