+# AGENTS.md - Coding Agent Guidelines for golib
+
+## Project Overview
+This is a Go library repository containing multiple independent packages:
+- **cookies**: HTTP cookie utilities
+- **env**: Environment variable helpers
+- **ezconf**: Configuration loader with ENV parsing
+- **hlog**: Logging with zerolog
+- **hws**: HTTP web server
+- **hwsauth**: Authentication middleware for hws
+- **jwt**: JWT token generation and validation
+- **tmdb**: The Movie Database API client
+
+Each package has its own `go.mod` and can be used independently.
+
+## Interactive Questions
+All questions in plan mode should use the opencode interactive question prompter for user interaction.
+
+## Build, Test, and Lint Commands
+
+### Running Tests
+```bash
+# Test all packages from repo root
+go test ./...
+
+# Test a specific package
+cd <package> && go test
+
+# Run a single test function
+cd <package> && go test -run TestFunctionName
+
+# Run tests with verbose output
+cd <package> && go test -v
+
+# Run tests matching a pattern
+cd <package> && go test -run "TestName.*"
+```
+
+### Building
+```bash
+# Each package is a library - no build needed
+# Verify code compiles:
+go build ./...
+
+# Or for specific package:
+cd <package> && go build
+```
+
+### Linting
+```bash
+# Use standard go tools
+go vet ./...
+go fmt ./...
+
+# Check formatting without changing files
+gofmt -l .
+```
+
+## Code Style Guidelines
+
+### Package Structure
+- Each package must have its own `go.mod` with module path: `git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/<package>`
+- Go version should be current (1.23.4+)
+- Each package should have a `doc.go` file with package documentation
+
+### Imports
+- Use standard library imports first
+- Then third-party imports
+- Then local imports from this repo (e.g., `git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog`)
+- Group imports with blank lines between groups
+- Example:
+```go
+import (
+    "context"
+    "net/http"
+    
+    "github.com/pkg/errors"
+    "github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
+    
+    "git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog"
+)
+```
+
+### Formatting
+- Use `gofmt` standard formatting
+- No tabs for alignment, use spaces inside structs
+- Line length: no hard limit, but prefer readability
+
+### Types
+- Use explicit types for struct fields
+- Config structs must have ENV comments (see below)
+- Prefer named return values for complex functions
+- Use generics where appropriate (see `hwsauth.Authenticator[T Model, TX DBTransaction]`)
+
+### Naming Conventions
+- Packages: lowercase, single word (e.g., `cookies`, `ezconf`)
+- Exported functions: PascalCase (e.g., `NewServer`, `ConfigFromEnv`)
+- Unexported functions: camelCase (e.g., `isValidHostname`, `waitUntilReady`)
+- Test functions: `Test<FunctionName>` or `Test<FunctionName>_<Case>` (underscore for sub-cases)
+- Variables: camelCase, descriptive names
+- Constants: PascalCase or UPPER_CASE depending on scope
+
+### Error Handling
+- Use `github.com/pkg/errors` for error wrapping
+- Wrap errors with context: `errors.Wrap(err, "context message")`
+- Return errors, don't panic (except in truly exceptional cases)
+- Validate inputs and return descriptive errors
+- Example:
+```go
+if config == nil {
+    return nil, errors.New("Config cannot be nil")
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration Pattern
+- Each package with config should have a `Config` struct
+- Provide `ConfigFromEnv() (*Config, error)` function
+- ENV comment format for Config struct fields:
+```go
+type Config struct {
+    Host string // ENV HWS_HOST: Host to listen on (default: 127.0.0.1)
+    Port uint64 // ENV HWS_PORT: Port to listen on (default: 3000)
+    SSL  bool   // ENV HWS_SSL: Enable SSL (required when using production)
+}
+```
+- Format: `// ENV ENV_NAME: Description (required <condition>) (default: <value>)`
+- Include "required" only if no default
+- Include "default" only if one exists
+
+### Testing
+- Use `testing` package from standard library
+- Use `github.com/stretchr/testify` for assertions (`require`, `assert`)
+- Table-driven tests for multiple cases:
+```go
+tests := []struct {
+    name    string
+    input   string
+    wantErr bool
+}{
+    {"valid case", "input", false},
+    {"error case", "", true},
+}
+```
+- Test files use `<package>_test` for black-box tests or `<package>` for white-box
+- Helper functions should use `t.Helper()`
+
+### Documentation
+- All exported functions, types, and constants must have godoc comments
+- Comments should start with the name being documented
+- Example: `// NewServer returns a new hws.Server with the specified configuration.`
+- Keep doc.go files up to date with package overview
+- Follow RULES.md for README and wiki documentation
+
+## Version Control (from RULES.md)
+- Do NOT make changes to master branch
+- Checkout a branch for new features
+- Version numbers use git tags - do NOT change manually
+- When updating docs, append branch name to version
+- Changes to golib-wiki repo should use same branch name
+
+## Testing Requirements (from RULES.md)
+- All features MUST have tests
+- Update existing tests when modifying features
+- New features require new tests
+
+## Documentation Requirements (from RULES.md)
+- Document via: docstrings, README.md, doc.go, wiki
+- README structure: Title+version, Features (NO EMOTICONS), Installation, Quick Start, Docs links, Additional info, License, Contributing, Related projects
+- Wiki location: `~/projects/golib-wiki`
+- Docstrings must conform to godoc standards
+
+## License
+- All modules use MIT License

+// Package cookies provides utilities for handling HTTP cookies in Go web applications.
+// It includes functions for setting secure cookies, deleting cookies, and managing

+//
+// The package follows security best practices by setting the HttpOnly flag on all
+// cookies to prevent XSS attacks. The SetCookie function allows you to specify the
+// name, path, value, and max-age for cookies.
+//
+// The pagefrom functionality helps with user experience by remembering where a user
+// was before being redirected to login/register pages, then redirecting them back
+// after successful authentication.
+//
+// Example usage:
+//
+//	// Set a session cookie
+//	cookies.SetCookie(w, "session", "/", "abc123", 3600)
+//
+//	// Delete a cookie
+//	cookies.DeleteCookie(w, "old_session", "/")

+//	// Handle pagefrom tracking

+// Package env provides utilities for reading environment variables with type safety
+// and default values. It supports common Go types including strings, integers (all sizes),
+// unsigned integers (all sizes), booleans, and time.Duration values.
+//
+// The package follows a simple pattern where each function takes a key name and a
+// default value, returning the parsed environment variable or the default if the
+// variable is not set or cannot be parsed.
+//
+// Example usage:
+//
+//	port := env.Int("PORT", 8080)
+//	debug := env.Bool("DEBUG", false)
+//	timeout := env.Duration("TIMEOUT", 30*time.Second)
+//
+// All functions gracefully handle missing environment variables by returning the
+// provided default value. They also handle parsing errors by falling back to the
+// default value.

+# notify
+
+Thread-safe pub/sub notification system for Go applications.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Thread-Safe**: All operations are safe for concurrent use
+- **Configurable Buffering**: Set custom buffer sizes per notifier
+- **Targeted & Broadcast**: Send to specific subscribers or broadcast to all
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: Built-in Close() for clean resource cleanup
+- **Idempotent Operations**: Safe to call Unsubscribe() and Close() multiple times
+- **Zero Dependencies**: Uses only Go standard library
+- **Comprehensive Tests**: 95%+ code coverage with race detector clean
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/notify
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/notify"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Create a notifier with 50-notification buffer per subscriber
+    n := notify.NewNotifier(50)
+    defer n.Close()
+
+    // Subscribe to receive notifications
+    sub, err := n.Subscribe()
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+    defer sub.Unsubscribe()
+
+    // Listen for notifications
+    go func() {
+        for notification := range sub.Listen() {
+            fmt.Printf("[%s] %s: %s\n", 
+                notification.Level, 
+                notification.Title, 
+                notification.Message)
+        }
+        fmt.Println("Listener exited")
+    }()
+
+    // Send a notification
+    n.Notify(notify.Notification{
+        Target:  sub.ID,
+        Level:   notify.LevelSuccess,
+        Title:   "Welcome",
+        Message: "You're now subscribed!",
+    })
+
+    // Broadcast to all subscribers
+    n.NotifyAll(notify.Notification{
+        Level:   notify.LevelInfo,
+        Title:   "System Status",
+        Message: "All systems operational",
+    })
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Creating a Notifier
+
+The buffer size determines how many notifications can be queued per subscriber:
+
+```go
+// Unbuffered - sends block until received
+n := notify.NewNotifier(0)
+
+// Small buffer - low memory, may drop if slow readers
+n := notify.NewNotifier(25)
+
+// Recommended - balanced approach
+n := notify.NewNotifier(50)
+
+// Large buffer - handles bursts well
+n := notify.NewNotifier(500)
+```
+
+### Subscribing
+
+Each subscriber receives a unique ID and a buffered notification channel:
+
+```go
+sub, err := n.Subscribe()
+if err != nil {
+    // Handle error (e.g., notifier is closed)
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+
+fmt.Println("Subscriber ID:", sub.ID)
+```
+
+### Listening for Notifications
+
+Use a for-range loop to process notifications:
+
+```go
+for notification := range sub.Listen() {
+    switch notification.Level {
+    case notify.LevelSuccess:
+        fmt.Println("✓", notification.Message)
+    case notify.LevelError:
+        fmt.Println("✗", notification.Message)
+    default:
+        fmt.Println("ℹ", notification.Message)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Sending Targeted Notifications
+
+Send to a specific subscriber:
+
+```go
+n.Notify(notify.Notification{
+    Target:  sub.ID,
+    Level:   notify.LevelWarn,
+    Title:   "Account Warning",
+    Message: "Password expires in 3 days",
+    Details: "Please update your password",
+})
+```
+
+### Broadcasting to All Subscribers
+
+Send to all current subscribers:
+
+```go
+n.NotifyAll(notify.Notification{
+    Level:   notify.LevelInfo,
+    Title:   "Maintenance",
+    Message: "System will restart in 5 minutes",
+})
+```
+
+### Unsubscribing
+
+Clean up when done (safe to call multiple times):
+
+```go
+sub.Unsubscribe()
+```
+
+### Graceful Shutdown
+
+Close the notifier to unsubscribe all and prevent new subscriptions:
+
+```go
+n.Close()
+// After Close():
+// - All subscribers are removed
+// - All notification channels are closed
+// - Future Subscribe() calls return error
+// - Notify/NotifyAll are no-ops

+
+## Notification Levels
+
+Four predefined levels are available:
+
+| Level | Constant | Use Case |
+|-------|----------|----------|
+| Success | `notify.LevelSuccess` | Successful operations |
+| Info | `notify.LevelInfo` | General information |
+| Warning | `notify.LevelWarn` | Non-critical warnings |
+| Error | `notify.LevelError` | Errors requiring attention |
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Action Data
+
+The `Action` field can hold any data type:
+
+```go
+type UserAction struct {
+    URL    string
+    Method string
+}
+
+n.Notify(notify.Notification{
+    Target:  sub.ID,
+    Level:   notify.LevelInfo,
+    Message: "New update available",
+    Action: UserAction{
+        URL:    "/updates/download",
+        Method: "GET",
+    },
+})
+
+// In listener:
+for notif := range sub.Listen() {
+    if action, ok := notif.Action.(UserAction); ok {
+        fmt.Printf("Action: %s %s\n", action.Method, action.URL)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Multiple Subscribers
+
+Create a notification hub for multiple clients:
+
+```go
+n := notify.NewNotifier(100)
+defer n.Close()
+
+// Create 10 subscribers
+subscribers := make([]*notify.Subscriber, 10)
+for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
+    sub, _ := n.Subscribe()
+    subscribers[i] = sub
+    
+    // Start listener for each
+    go func(id int, s *notify.Subscriber) {
+        for notif := range s.Listen() {
+            log.Printf("Sub %d: %s", id, notif.Message)
+        }
+    }(i, sub)
+}
+
+// Broadcast to all
+n.NotifyAll(notify.Notification{
+    Level:   notify.LevelSuccess,
+    Message: "All subscribers active",
+})
+```
+
+### Concurrent-Safe Operations
+
+All operations are thread-safe:
+
+```go
+n := notify.NewNotifier(50)
+
+// Safe to subscribe from multiple goroutines
+for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
+    go func() {
+        sub, _ := n.Subscribe()
+        defer sub.Unsubscribe()
+        // ...
+    }()
+}
+
+// Safe to notify from multiple goroutines
+for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
+    go func() {
+        n.NotifyAll(notify.Notification{
+            Level:   notify.LevelInfo,
+            Message: "Concurrent notification",
+        })
+    }()
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use defer for Cleanup
+
+```go
+n := notify.NewNotifier(50)
+defer n.Close()
+
+sub, _ := n.Subscribe()
+defer sub.Unsubscribe()
+```
+
+### 2. Check Errors
+
+```go
+sub, err := n.Subscribe()
+if err != nil {
+    log.Printf("Subscribe failed: %v", err)
+    return
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Buffer Size Recommendations
+
+| Scenario | Buffer Size |
+|----------|------------|
+| Real-time chat | 10-25 |
+| General app notifications | 50-100 |
+| High-throughput logging | 200-500 |
+| Testing/debugging | 0 (unbuffered) |
+
+### 4. Listener Goroutines
+
+Always use goroutines for listeners to prevent blocking:
+
+```go
+// Good ✓
+go func() {
+    for notif := range sub.Listen() {
+        process(notif)
+    }
+}()
+
+// Bad ✗ - blocks main goroutine
+for notif := range sub.Listen() {
+    process(notif)
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Detect Channel Closure
+
+```go
+for notification := range sub.Listen() {
+    // Process notifications
+}
+// When this loop exits, the channel is closed
+// Either subscriber unsubscribed or notifier closed
+fmt.Println("No more notifications")
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Subscribe**: O(1) average case (random ID generation)
+- **Notify**: O(1) lookup + O(1) channel send (non-blocking)
+- **NotifyAll**: O(n) where n is number of subscribers
+- **Unsubscribe**: O(1) map deletion + O(1) channel close
+- **Close**: O(n) where n is number of subscribers
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+Typical performance on modern hardware:
+
+- Subscribe: ~5-10µs per operation
+- Notify: ~1-2µs per operation  
+- NotifyAll (10 subs): ~10-20µs
+- Buffer full handling: ~100ns (TryLock drop)
+
+## Thread Safety
+
+All public methods are thread-safe:
+
+- ✅ `NewNotifier()` - Safe
+- ✅ `Subscribe()` - Safe, concurrent calls allowed
+- ✅ `Unsubscribe()` - Safe, idempotent
+- ✅ `Notify()` - Safe, concurrent calls allowed
+- ✅ `NotifyAll()` - Safe, concurrent calls allowed
+- ✅ `Close()` - Safe, idempotent
+- ✅ `Listen()` - Safe, returns read-only channel
+
+## Testing
+
+Run tests:
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+go test
+
+# With race detector
+go test -race
+
+# With coverage
+go test -cover
+
+# Verbose output
+go test -v
+```
+
+Current test coverage: **95.1%**

+// Package notify provides a thread-safe pub/sub notification system.
+//
+// The notify package implements a lightweight, in-memory notification system
+// where subscribers can register to receive notifications. Each subscriber
+// receives notifications through a buffered channel, allowing them to process
+// messages at their own pace.
+//
+// # Features
+//
+//   - Thread-safe concurrent operations
+//   - Configurable notification buffer size per Notifier
+//   - Unique subscriber IDs using cryptographic random generation
+//   - Targeted notifications to specific subscribers
+//   - Broadcast notifications to all subscribers
+//   - Idempotent unsubscribe operations
+//   - Graceful shutdown with Close()
+//   - Zero external dependencies (uses only Go standard library)
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Create a notifier and subscribe:
+//
+//	// Create notifier with 50-notification buffer per subscriber
+//	n := notify.NewNotifier(50)
+//	defer n.Close()
+//
+//	// Subscribe to receive notifications
+//	sub, err := n.Subscribe()
+//	if err != nil {
+//	    log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//	defer sub.Unsubscribe()
+//
+//	// Listen for notifications
+//	go func() {
+//	    for notification := range sub.Listen() {
+//	        fmt.Printf("Received: %s - %s\n", notification.Level, notification.Message)
+//	    }
+//	}()
+//
+//	// Send a targeted notification
+//	n.Notify(notify.Notification{
+//	    Target:  sub.ID,
+//	    Level:   notify.LevelInfo,
+//	    Message: "Hello subscriber!",
+//	})
+//
+// # Broadcasting
+//
+// Send notifications to all subscribers:
+//
+//	// Broadcast to all subscribers
+//	n.NotifyAll(notify.Notification{
+//	    Level:   notify.LevelSuccess,
+//	    Title:   "System Update",
+//	    Message: "All systems operational",
+//	})
+//
+// # Notification Levels
+//
+// The package provides predefined notification levels:
+//
+//   - LevelSuccess: Success messages
+//   - LevelInfo: Informational messages
+//   - LevelWarn: Warning messages
+//   - LevelError: Error messages
+//
+// # Buffer Sizing
+//
+// The buffer size controls how many notifications can be queued per subscriber:
+//
+//   - Small (10-25): Low latency, minimal memory, may drop messages if slow readers
+//   - Medium (50-100): Balanced approach (recommended for most applications)
+//   - Large (200-500): High throughput, handles bursts well
+//   - Unbuffered (0): No queuing, sends block until received
+//
+// # Thread Safety
+//
+// All operations are thread-safe and can be called from multiple goroutines:
+//
+//   - Subscribe() - Safe to call concurrently
+//   - Unsubscribe() - Safe to call concurrently and multiple times
+//   - Notify() - Safe to call concurrently
+//   - NotifyAll() - Safe to call concurrently
+//   - Close() - Safe to call concurrently and multiple times
+//
+// # Graceful Shutdown
+//
+// Close the notifier to unsubscribe all subscribers and prevent new subscriptions:
+//
+//	n := notify.NewNotifier(50)
+//	defer n.Close()  // Ensures cleanup
+//
+//	// Use notifier...
+//	// On defer or explicit Close():
+//	//   - All subscribers are removed
+//	//   - All notification channels are closed
+//	//   - Future Subscribe() calls return error
+//	//   - Notify() and NotifyAll() are no-ops
+//
+// # Notification Delivery
+//
+// Notifications are delivered using a TryLock pattern:
+//
+//   - If the subscriber is available, the notification is queued
+//   - If the subscriber is busy unsubscribing, the notification is dropped
+//   - This prevents blocking on subscribers that are shutting down
+//
+// Buffered channels allow multiple notifications to queue, so subscribers
+// don't need to read immediately. Once the buffer is full, subsequent
+// notifications may be dropped if the subscriber is slow to read.
+//
+// # Example: Multi-Subscriber System
+//
+//	func main() {
+//	    n := notify.NewNotifier(100)
+//	    defer n.Close()
+//
+//	    // Create multiple subscribers
+//	    for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
+//	        sub, _ := n.Subscribe()
+//	        go func(id int, s *notify.Subscriber) {
+//	            for notif := range s.Listen() {
+//	                log.Printf("Subscriber %d: %s", id, notif.Message)
+//	            }
+//	        }(i, sub)
+//	    }
+//
+//	    // Broadcast to all
+//	    n.NotifyAll(notify.Notification{
+//	        Level:   notify.LevelInfo,
+//	        Message: "Server starting...",
+//	    })
+//
+//	    time.Sleep(time.Second)
+//	}
+//
+// # Error Handling
+//
+// Subscribe() returns an error in these cases:
+//
+//   - Notifier is closed (error: "notifier is closed")
+//   - Failed to generate unique ID after 10 attempts (extremely rare)
+//
+// Other operations (Notify, NotifyAll, Unsubscribe) do not return errors
+// and handle edge cases gracefully (e.g., notifying non-existent subscribers
+// is silently ignored).
