+# 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

+# GOLIB Rules
+
+1. All changes should be documented
+Documentation is done in a few ways:
+ - docstrings
+ - README.md
+ - doc.go
+ - wiki
+
+The README for each module should be laid out as follows:
+- Title and description with version number
+- Feature list (DO NOT USE EMOTICONS)
+- Installation (go get)
+- Quick Start (brief example of setting up and using)
+- Documentation links to the wiki (path is `../golib/wiki/<package>.md`)
+- Additional information (e.g. supported databases if package has database features)
+- License
+- Contributing
+- Related projects (if relevant)
+
+Docstrings and doc.go should conform to godoc standards.
+Any Config structs with environment variables should have their docstrings match the format
+`// ENV ENV_NAME: Description (required <optional condition>) (default: <default value>)`
+where the required and default fields are only present if relevant to that variable
+
+The wiki is located at ~/projects/golib-wiki and should be laid out as follows:
+- Link to wiki page from the Home page
+- Title and description with version number
+- Installation
+- Key Concepts and features
+- Quick start
+- Configuration (explicity prefer using ConfigFromEnv for packages that support it)
+- Detailed sections on how to use all the features
+- Integration (many of the packages in this repo are designed to work in tandem. any close integration with other packages should be mentioned here)
+- Best practices
+- Troubleshooting
+- See also (links to other related or imported packages from this repo)
+- Links (GoDoc api link, source code, issue tracker)
+
+2. All features should have tests.
+Any changes to existing features or additional features implemented should have tests created and/or updated
+
+3. Version control
+Do not make any changes to master. Checkout a branch to work on new features
+Version numbers are specified using git tags.
+Do not change version numbers. When updating documentation, append the branch name to the version number.
+Changes made to the golib-wiki repo should be made under the same branch name as the changes made in this repo
+
+4. Licencing
+All modules should have an 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

+//
+// The pagefrom functionality helps with user experience by remembering where a user

+// Example usage:
+//
+//	// Set a session cookie

+
+Environment variable utilities for Go applications with type safety and default values.
+
+## Features
+
+- Type-safe environment variable parsing
+- Support for all basic Go types (string, int variants, uint variants, bool, time.Duration)
+- Graceful fallback to default values
+- Comprehensive boolean parsing with multiple truthy/falsy values
+- Full test coverage
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/env
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "time"
+    "git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/env"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // String values
+    host := env.String("HOST", "localhost")
+    
+    // Integer values (all sizes supported)
+    port := env.Int("PORT", 8080)
+    timeout := env.Int64("TIMEOUT_SECONDS", 30)
+    
+    // Unsigned integer values
+    maxConnections := env.UInt("MAX_CONNECTIONS", 100)
+    
+    // Boolean values (supports many formats)
+    debug := env.Bool("DEBUG", false)
+    
+    // Duration values
+    requestTimeout := env.Duration("REQUEST_TIMEOUT", 30*time.Second)
+    
+    fmt.Printf("Server: %s:%d\n", host, port)
+    fmt.Printf("Debug: %v\n", debug)
+    fmt.Printf("Timeout: %v\n", requestTimeout)
+}

+// Package env provides utilities for reading environment variables with type safety

+//
+// The package follows a simple pattern where each function takes a key name and a

+// 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)

+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/ezconf
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Easy Integration (Recommended)
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"log"
+	"os"
+
+	"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/ezconf"
+	"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog"
+	"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hws"
+	"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hwsauth"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	// Create a new configuration loader
+	loader := ezconf.New()
+
+	// Register packages using built-in integrations
+	loader.RegisterIntegrations(
+		hlog.NewEZConfIntegration(),
+		hws.NewEZConfIntegration(),
+		hwsauth.NewEZConfIntegration(),
+	)
+
+	// Load all configurations
+	if err := loader.Load(); err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+
+	// Get configurations
+	hlogCfg, _ := loader.GetConfig("hlog")
+	cfg := hlogCfg.(*hlog.Config)
+
+	// Use configuration
+	logger, _ := hlog.NewLogger(cfg, os.Stdout)
+	logger.Info().Msg("Application started")
+}
+```
+
+### Manual Integration
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"log"
+	"os"
+
+	"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/ezconf"
+	"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog"
+	"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hws"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	// Create a new configuration loader
+	loader := ezconf.New()
+
+	// Add package paths to parse for ENV comments
+	loader.AddPackagePath("vendor/git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog")
+	loader.AddPackagePath("vendor/git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hws")
+
+	// Add configuration loaders
+	loader.AddConfigFunc("hlog", func() (interface{}, error) {
+		return hlog.ConfigFromEnv()
+	})
+	loader.AddConfigFunc("hws", func() (interface{}, error) {
+		return hws.ConfigFromEnv()
+	})
+
+	// Load all configurations
+	if err := loader.Load(); err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+
+	// Get a specific configuration
+	hlogCfg, ok := loader.GetConfig("hlog")
+	if ok {
+		cfg := hlogCfg.(*hlog.Config)
+		// Use configuration...
+	}
+
+	// Print all environment variables
+	if err := loader.PrintEnvVarsStdout(false); err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+
+	// Generate a .env file
+	if err := loader.GenerateEnvFile(".env", false); err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+For detailed documentation, see the [EZConf Wiki](../golib-wiki/EZConf.md).
+
+Additional API documentation is available at [GoDoc](https://pkg.go.dev/git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/ezconf).
+
+## ENV Comment Format
+
+EZConf parses struct field comments in the following format:
+
+```go
+type Config struct {
+	// ENV LOG_LEVEL: Log level for the application (default: info)
+	LogLevel string
+
+	// ENV DATABASE_URL: Database connection string (required)
+	DatabaseURL string
+	
+	// Inline comments also work
+	Port int // ENV PORT: Server port (default: 8080)
+}
+```
+
+The format is:
+- `ENV ENV_VAR_NAME: Description (optional modifiers)`
+- `(required)` or `(required if condition)` - marks variable as required
+- `(default: value)` - specifies default value

+// Package ezconf provides a unified configuration management system for loading
+// and managing environment-based configurations across multiple packages.
+//
+// ezconf allows you to:
+//   - Load configurations from multiple packages using their ConfigFromEnv functions
+//   - Parse config struct tags to extract environment variable documentation
+//   - Generate and update .env files with all required environment variables
+//   - Print environment variable lists with descriptions and current values
+//   - Track additional custom environment variables
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Create a configuration loader and register packages using built-in integrations (recommended):
+//
+//	import (
+//		"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/ezconf"
+//		"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog"
+//		"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hws"
+//		"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hwsauth"
+//	)
+//
+//	loader := ezconf.New()
+//
+//	// Register packages using built-in integrations
+//	loader.RegisterIntegrations(
+//		hlog.NewEZConfIntegration(),
+//		hws.NewEZConfIntegration(),
+//		hwsauth.NewEZConfIntegration(),
+//	)
+//
+//	// Load all configurations
+//	if err := loader.Load(); err != nil {
+//		log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+//	// Get a specific configuration
+//	hlogCfg, ok := loader.GetConfig("hlog")
+//	if ok {
+//		cfg := hlogCfg.(*hlog.Config)
+//		// Use configuration...
+//	}
+//
+// Alternatively, you can manually register config structs:
+//
+//	loader := ezconf.New()
+//
+//	// Add config struct for tag parsing
+//	loader.AddConfigStruct(&mypackage.Config{}, "MyPackage")
+//
+//	// Add configuration loaders
+//	loader.AddConfigFunc("mypackage", func() (interface{}, error) {
+//		return mypackage.ConfigFromEnv()
+//	})
+//
+//	loader.Load()
+//
+// # Printing Environment Variables
+//
+// Print all environment variables with their descriptions:
+//
+//	// Print without values (useful for documentation)
+//	if err := loader.PrintEnvVarsStdout(false); err != nil {
+//		log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+//	// Print with current values
+//	if err := loader.PrintEnvVarsStdout(true); err != nil {
+//		log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+// # Generating .env Files
+//
+// Generate a new .env file with all environment variables:
+//
+//	// Generate with default values
+//	err := loader.GenerateEnvFile(".env", false)
+//
+//	// Generate with current environment values
+//	err := loader.GenerateEnvFile(".env", true)
+//
+// Update an existing .env file:
+//
+//	// Update existing file, preserving existing values
+//	err := loader.UpdateEnvFile(".env", true)
+//
+// # Adding Custom Environment Variables
+//
+// You can add additional environment variables that aren't in package configs:
+//
+//	loader.AddEnvVar(ezconf.EnvVar{
+//		Name:        "DATABASE_URL",
+//		Description: "PostgreSQL connection string",
+//		Required:    true,
+//		Default:     "postgres://localhost/mydb",
+//	})
+//
+// # Struct Tag Format
+//
+// ezconf uses struct tags to define environment variable metadata:
+//
+//	type Config struct {
+//		LogLevel    string `ezconf:"LOG_LEVEL,description:Log level for the application,default:info"`
+//		DatabaseURL string `ezconf:"DATABASE_URL,description:Database connection string,required"`
+//		LogDir      string `ezconf:"LOG_DIR,description:Directory for log files,required:when LOG_OUTPUT is file"`
+//	}
+//
+// Tag components (comma-separated):
+//   - First value: environment variable name (required)
+//   - description:...: Description of the variable
+//   - default:...: Default value
+//   - required: Marks the variable as required
+//   - required:condition: Marks as required with a condition description
+//
+// # Integration
+//
+// Packages can implement the Integration interface to provide automatic
+// registration with ezconf. The interface requires:
+//   - Name() string: Registration key for the config
+//   - ConfigPointer() any: Pointer to config struct for tag parsing
+//   - ConfigFunc() func() (any, error): Function to load config from env
+//   - GroupName() string: Display name for grouping env vars
+//
+// ezconf integrates with:
+//   - All golib packages that follow the ConfigFromEnv pattern
+//   - Any custom configuration structs with ezconf struct tags
+//   - Standard .env file format

+- Unix timestamp format
+- Console-friendly output formatting
+- Multi-writer support for simultaneous console and file output
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"log"
+	"os"
+
+	"git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	// Load configuration from environment variables
+	cfg, err := hlog.ConfigFromEnv()
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+
+	// Create a new logger
+	logger, err := hlog.NewLogger(cfg, os.Stdout)
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+	defer logger.CloseLogFile()
+

+// Package hlog provides a structured logging solution built on top of zerolog.
+//
+// hlog supports multiple output modes (console, file, or both), configurable
+// log levels, and automatic log file management. It is designed to be simple
+// to configure via environment variables while remaining flexible for
+// programmatic configuration.
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Create a logger with environment-based configuration:
+//
+//	cfg, err := hlog.ConfigFromEnv()
+//	if err != nil {
+//		log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+//	logger, err := hlog.NewLogger(cfg, os.Stdout)
+//	if err != nil {
+//		log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//	defer logger.CloseLogFile()
+//
+//	logger.Info().Msg("Application started")
+//
+// # Configuration
+//
+// hlog can be configured via environment variables using ConfigFromEnv:
+//
+//	LOG_LEVEL=info             # trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic (default: info)
+//	LOG_OUTPUT=console         # console, file, or both (default: console)
+//	LOG_DIR=/var/log/app       # Required when LOG_OUTPUT is "file" or "both"
+//	LOG_FILE_NAME=server.log   # Required when LOG_OUTPUT is "file" or "both"
+//	LOG_APPEND=true            # Append to existing file or overwrite (default: true)
+//
+// Or programmatically:
+//
+//	cfg := &hlog.Config{
+//		LogLevel:    hlog.InfoLevel,
+//		LogOutput:   "both",
+//		LogDir:      "/var/log/myapp",
+//		LogFileName: "server.log",
+//		LogAppend:   true,
+//	}
+//
+// # Log Levels
+//
+// hlog supports the following log levels (from most to least verbose):
+//   - trace: Very detailed debugging information
+//   - debug: Detailed debugging information
+//   - info: General informational messages
+//   - warn: Warning messages for potentially harmful situations
+//   - error: Error messages for error events
+//   - fatal: Fatal messages that will exit the application
+//   - panic: Panic messages that will panic the application
+//
+// # Output Modes
+//
+//   - console: Logs to the provided io.Writer (typically os.Stdout or os.Stderr)
+//   - file: Logs to a file in the configured directory
+//   - both: Logs to both console and file simultaneously using zerolog.MultiLevelWriter
+//
+// # File Management
+//
+// When using file output, hlog creates a file with the specified name in the
+// configured directory. The file can be opened in append mode (default) to
+// preserve logs across application restarts, or in overwrite mode to start
+// fresh each time. Remember to call CloseLogFile() when shutting down your
+// application to ensure all logs are flushed to disk.
+//
+// # Error Stack Traces
+//
+// hlog automatically configures zerolog to include stack traces for errors
+// wrapped with github.com/pkg/errors. This provides detailed error context
+// when using errors.Wrap or errors.WithStack.
+//
+// # Integration
+//
+// hlog integrates with:
+//   - git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/env: For environment variable configuration
+//   - github.com/rs/zerolog: The underlying logging implementation
+//   - github.com/pkg/errors: For error stack trace support

+// Package hws provides a lightweight HTTP web server framework built on top of Go's standard library.
+//
+// HWS (H Web Server) is an opinionated framework that leverages Go 1.22+ routing patterns
+// with built-in middleware, structured error handling, and production-ready defaults. It
+// integrates seamlessly with other golib packages like hlog for logging and hwsauth for
+// authentication.
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Create a server with environment-based configuration:
+//
+//	cfg, err := hws.ConfigFromEnv()
+//	if err != nil {
+//		log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+//	server, err := hws.NewServer(cfg)
+//	if err != nil {
+//		log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+//	routes := []hws.Route{
+//		{
+//			Path:    "/",
+//			Method:  hws.MethodGET,
+//			Handler: http.HandlerFunc(homeHandler),
+//		},
+//	}
+//
+//	server.AddRoutes(routes...)
+//	server.AddMiddleware()
+//
+//	ctx := context.Background()
+//	server.Start(ctx)
+//
+//	<-server.Ready()
+//
+// # Configuration
+//
+// HWS can be configured via environment variables using ConfigFromEnv:
+//
+//	HWS_HOST=127.0.0.1                # Host to listen on (default: 127.0.0.1)
+//	HWS_PORT=3000                     # Port to listen on (default: 3000)
+//	HWS_GZIP=false                    # Enable GZIP compression (default: false)
+//	HWS_READ_HEADER_TIMEOUT=2         # Header read timeout in seconds (default: 2)
+//	HWS_WRITE_TIMEOUT=10              # Write timeout in seconds (default: 10)
+//	HWS_IDLE_TIMEOUT=120              # Idle connection timeout in seconds (default: 120)
+//
+// Or programmatically:
+//
+//	cfg := &hws.Config{
+//		Host:              "0.0.0.0",
+//		Port:              8080,
+//		GZIP:              true,
+//		ReadHeaderTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
+//		WriteTimeout:      15 * time.Second,
+//		IdleTimeout:       120 * time.Second,
+//	}
+//
+// # Routing
+//
+// HWS uses Go 1.22+ routing patterns with method-specific handlers:
+//
+//	routes := []hws.Route{
+//		{
+//			Path:    "/users/{id}",
+//			Method:  hws.MethodGET,
+//			Handler: http.HandlerFunc(getUser),
+//		},
+//		{
+//			Path:    "/users/{id}",
+//			Method:  hws.MethodPUT,
+//			Handler: http.HandlerFunc(updateUser),
+//		},
+//	}
+//
+// A single route can handle multiple HTTP methods using the Methods field:
+//
+//	routes := []hws.Route{
+//		{
+//			Path:    "/api/resource",
+//			Methods: []hws.Method{hws.MethodGET, hws.MethodPOST, hws.MethodPUT},
+//			Handler: http.HandlerFunc(resourceHandler),
+//		},
+//	}
+//
+// Note: The Methods field takes precedence over Method if both are provided.
+//
+// Path parameters can be accessed using r.PathValue():
+//
+//	func getUser(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+//		id := r.PathValue("id")
+//		// ... handle request
+//	}
+//
+// # Middleware
+//
+// HWS supports middleware with predictable execution order. Built-in middleware includes
+// request logging, timing, and GZIP compression:
+//
+//	server.AddMiddleware()
+//
+// Custom middleware can be added using standard http.Handler wrapping:
+//
+//	server.AddMiddleware(customMiddleware)
+//
+// # Error Handling
+//
+// HWS provides structured error handling with customizable error pages:
+//
+//	errorPageFunc := func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, status int) {
+//		w.WriteHeader(status)
+//		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Error: %d", status)
+//	}
+//
+//	server.AddErrorPage(errorPageFunc)
+//
+// # Logging
+//
+// HWS integrates with hlog for structured logging:
+//
+//	logger, _ := hlog.NewLogger(loggerCfg, os.Stdout)
+//	server.AddLogger(logger)
+//
+// The server will automatically log requests, errors, and server lifecycle events.
+//
+// # Static Files
+//
+// HWS provides safe static file serving that prevents directory listing:
+//
+//	server.AddStaticFiles("/static", "./public")
+//
+// # Graceful Shutdown
+//
+// HWS supports graceful shutdown via context cancellation:
+//
+//	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
+//	defer cancel()
+//
+//	server.Start(ctx)
+//
+//	// Wait for shutdown signal
+//	sigChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
+//	signal.Notify(sigChan, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
+//	<-sigChan
+//
+//	// Cancel context to trigger graceful shutdown
+//	cancel()
+//
+// # Integration
+//
+// HWS integrates with:
+//   - git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hlog: For structured logging with zerolog
+//   - git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/hwsauth: For JWT-based authentication
+//   - git.haelnorr.com/h/golib/jwt: For JWT token management

+# HWSAuth - v0.3.4
+
+JWT-based authentication middleware for the HWS web framework.
+
+## Features
+
+- JWT-based authentication with access and refresh tokens
+- Automatic token rotation and refresh
+- Generic over user model and transaction types
+- ORM-agnostic transaction handling (works with GORM, Bun, sqlx, database/sql)
+- Environment variable configuration with ConfigFromEnv
+- Middleware for protecting routes
+- SSL cookie security support
+- Type-safe with Go generics
+- Path ignoring for public routes
+- Automatic re-authentication handling
+
+## Installation

+// Package hwsauth provides JWT-based authentication middleware for the hws web framework.
+//
+// # Overview
+//
+// hwsauth integrates with the hws web server to provide secure, stateless authentication
+// using JSON Web Tokens (JWT). It supports both access and refresh tokens, automatic
+// token rotation, and flexible transaction handling compatible with any database or ORM.
+//
+// # Key Features
+//
+//   - JWT-based authentication with access and refresh tokens
+//   - Automatic token rotation and refresh
+//   - Generic over user model and transaction types
+//   - ORM-agnostic transaction handling
+//   - Environment variable configuration
+//   - Middleware for protecting routes
+//   - Context-based user retrieval
+//   - Optional SSL cookie security
+//
+// # Quick Start
+//
+// First, define your user model:
+//
+//	type User struct {
+//	    UserID   int
+//	    Username string
+//	    Email    string
+//	}
+//
+//	func (u User) ID() int {
+//	    return u.UserID
+//	}
+//
+// Configure the authenticator using environment variables or programmatically:
+//
+//	// Option 1: Load from environment variables
+//	cfg, err := hwsauth.ConfigFromEnv()
+//	if err != nil {
+//	    log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+//	// Option 2: Create config manually
+//	cfg := &hwsauth.Config{
+//	    SSL:                true,
+//	    TrustedHost:        "https://example.com",
+//	    SecretKey:          "your-secret-key",
+//	    AccessTokenExpiry:  5,     // 5 minutes
+//	    RefreshTokenExpiry: 1440,  // 1 day
+//	    TokenFreshTime:     5,     // 5 minutes
+//	    LandingPage:        "/dashboard",
+//	}
+//
+// Create the authenticator:
+//
+//	// Define how to begin transactions
+//	beginTx := func(ctx context.Context) (hwsauth.DBTransaction, error) {
+//	    return db.BeginTx(ctx, nil)
+//	}
+//
+//	// Define how to load users from the database
+//	loadUser := func(ctx context.Context, tx *sql.Tx, id int) (User, error) {
+//	    var user User
+//	    err := tx.QueryRowContext(ctx, "SELECT id, username, email FROM users WHERE id = ?", id).
+//	        Scan(&user.UserID, &user.Username, &user.Email)
+//	    return user, err
+//	}
+//
+//	// Create the authenticator
+//	auth, err := hwsauth.NewAuthenticator[User, *sql.Tx](
+//	    cfg,
+//	    loadUser,
+//	    server,
+//	    beginTx,
+//	    logger,
+//	    errorPage,
+//	)
+//	if err != nil {
+//	    log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+// # Middleware
+//
+// Use the Authenticate middleware to protect routes:
+//
+//	// Apply to all routes
+//	server.AddMiddleware(auth.Authenticate())
+//
+//	// Ignore specific paths
+//	auth.IgnorePaths("/login", "/register", "/public")
+//
+// Use route guards for specific protection requirements:
+//
+//	// LoginReq: Requires user to be authenticated
+//	protectedHandler := auth.LoginReq(myHandler)
+//
+//	// LogoutReq: Redirects authenticated users (for login/register pages)
+//	loginHandler := auth.LogoutReq(loginPageHandler)
+//
+//	// FreshReq: Requires fresh authentication (for sensitive operations)
+//	changePasswordHandler := auth.FreshReq(changePasswordHandler)
+//
+// # Login and Logout
+//
+// To log a user in:
+//
+//	func loginHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+//	    // Validate credentials...
+//	    user := getUserFromDatabase(username)
+//
+//	    // Log the user in (sets JWT cookies)
+//	    err := auth.Login(w, r, user, rememberMe)
+//	    if err != nil {
+//	        // Handle error
+//	    }
+//
+//	    http.Redirect(w, r, "/dashboard", http.StatusSeeOther)
+//	}
+//
+// To log a user out:
+//
+//	func logoutHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+//	    tx, _ := db.BeginTx(r.Context(), nil)
+//	    defer tx.Rollback()
+//
+//	    err := auth.Logout(tx, w, r)
+//	    if err != nil {
+//	        // Handle error
+//	    }
+//
+//	    tx.Commit()
+//	    http.Redirect(w, r, "/", http.StatusSeeOther)
+//	}
+//
+// # Retrieving the Current User
+//
+// Access the authenticated user from the request context:
+//
+//	func dashboardHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+//	    user := auth.CurrentModel(r.Context())
+//	    if user.ID() == 0 {
+//	        // User not authenticated
+//	        return
+//	    }
+//
+//	    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome, %s!", user.Username)
+//	}
+//
+// # ORM Support
+//
+// hwsauth works with any ORM that implements the DBTransaction interface.
+//
+// GORM Example:
+//
+//	beginTx := func(ctx context.Context) (hwsauth.DBTransaction, error) {
+//	    return gormDB.WithContext(ctx).Begin().Statement.ConnPool.(*sql.Tx), nil
+//	}
+//
+//	loadUser := func(ctx context.Context, tx *gorm.DB, id int) (User, error) {
+//	    var user User
+//	    err := tx.First(&user, id).Error
+//	    return user, err
+//	}
+//
+//	auth, err := hwsauth.NewAuthenticator[User, *gorm.DB](...)
+//
+// Bun Example:
+//
+//	beginTx := func(ctx context.Context) (hwsauth.DBTransaction, error) {
+//	    return bunDB.BeginTx(ctx, nil)
+//	}
+//
+//	loadUser := func(ctx context.Context, tx bun.Tx, id int) (User, error) {
+//	    var user User
+//	    err := tx.NewSelect().Model(&user).Where("id = ?", id).Scan(ctx)
+//	    return user, err
+//	}
+//
+//	auth, err := hwsauth.NewAuthenticator[User, bun.Tx](...)
+//
+// # Environment Variables
+//
+// The following environment variables are supported when using ConfigFromEnv:
+//
+//   - HWSAUTH_SSL: Enable SSL secure cookies (default: false)
+//   - HWSAUTH_TRUSTED_HOST: Full server address for SSL (required if SSL is true)
+//   - HWSAUTH_SECRET_KEY: Secret key for signing JWT tokens (required)
+//   - HWSAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRY: Access token expiry in minutes (default: 5)
+//   - HWSAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRY: Refresh token expiry in minutes (default: 1440)
+//   - HWSAUTH_TOKEN_FRESH_TIME: Token fresh time in minutes (default: 5)
+//   - HWSAUTH_LANDING_PAGE: Redirect destination for authenticated users (default: "/profile")
+//   - HWSAUTH_DATABASE_TYPE: Database type - postgres, mysql, sqlite, mariadb (default: "postgres")
+//   - HWSAUTH_DATABASE_VERSION: Database version string (default: "15")
+//   - HWSAUTH_JWT_TABLE_NAME: Custom JWT blacklist table name (default: "jwtblacklist")
+//
+// # Security Considerations
+//
+//   - Always use SSL in production (set HWSAUTH_SSL=true)
+//   - Use strong, randomly generated secret keys
+//   - Set appropriate token expiry times based on your security requirements
+//   - Use FreshReq middleware for sensitive operations (password changes, etc.)
+//   - Store refresh tokens securely in HTTP-only cookies
+//
+// # Type Parameters
+//
+// hwsauth uses Go generics for type safety:
+//
+//   - T Model: Your user model type (must implement the Model interface)
+//   - TX DBTransaction: Your transaction type (must implement DBTransaction interface)
+//
+// This allows compile-time type checking and eliminates the need for type assertions
+// when working with your user models.

+JWT (JSON Web Token) generation and validation with database-backed token revocation support.
+
+## Features
+
+- Access and refresh token generation
+- Token validation with expiration checking
+- Token revocation via database blacklist
+- Multi-database support (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MariaDB)
+- Compatible with database/sql, GORM, and Bun ORMs
+- Automatic table creation and management
+- Database-native automatic cleanup
+- Token freshness tracking for sensitive operations
+- "Remember me" functionality with session vs persistent tokens
+- Manual cleanup method for on-demand token cleanup

+// Package jwt provides JWT (JSON Web Token) generation and validation with token revocation support.
+//
+// This package implements JWT access and refresh tokens with the ability to revoke tokens
+// using a database-backed blacklist. It supports multiple database backends including
+// PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MariaDB, and works with both standard library database/sql
+// and popular ORMs like GORM and Bun.
+//
+// # Features
+//
+//   - Access and refresh token generation
+//   - Token validation with expiration checking
+//   - Token revocation via database blacklist
+//   - Support for multiple database types (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MariaDB)
+//   - Compatible with database/sql, GORM, and Bun ORMs
+//   - Automatic table creation and management
+//   - Database-native automatic cleanup (PostgreSQL functions, MySQL events)
+//   - Manual cleanup method for on-demand token cleanup
+//   - Token freshness tracking for sensitive operations
+//   - "Remember me" functionality with session vs persistent tokens
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Create a token generator with database support:
+//
+//	db, _ := sql.Open("postgres", "connection_string")
+//	gen, err := jwt.CreateGenerator(jwt.GeneratorConfig{
+//	    AccessExpireAfter:  15,   // 15 minutes
+//	    RefreshExpireAfter: 1440, // 24 hours
+//	    FreshExpireAfter:   5,    // 5 minutes
+//	    TrustedHost:        "example.com",
+//	    SecretKey:          "your-secret-key",
+//	    DB:                 db,
+//	    DBType:             jwt.DatabaseType{Type: jwt.DatabasePostgreSQL, Version: "15"},
+//	    TableConfig:        jwt.DefaultTableConfig(),
+//	})
+//
+// Generate tokens:
+//
+//	accessToken, accessExp, err := gen.NewAccess(userID, true, false)
+//	refreshToken, refreshExp, err := gen.NewRefresh(userID, false)
+//
+// Validate tokens (using standard library):
+//
+//	tx, _ := db.Begin()
+//	token, err := gen.ValidateAccess(tx, accessToken)
+//	if err != nil {
+//	    // Token is invalid or revoked
+//	}
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+// Validate tokens (using ORM like GORM):
+//
+//	tx := gormDB.Begin()
+//	token, err := gen.ValidateAccess(tx.Statement.ConnPool, accessToken)
+//	// or with Bun: gen.ValidateAccess(bunDB.BeginTx(ctx, nil), accessToken)
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+// Revoke tokens:
+//
+//	tx, _ := db.Begin()
+//	err := token.Revoke(tx)
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+// # Database Configuration
+//
+// The package automatically creates a blacklist table with the following schema:
+//
+//	CREATE TABLE jwtblacklist (
+//	    jti UUID PRIMARY KEY,      -- Token unique identifier
+//	    exp BIGINT NOT NULL,        -- Expiration timestamp
+//	    sub INT NOT NULL,           -- Subject (user) ID
+//	    created_at TIMESTAMP        -- When token was blacklisted
+//	);
+//
+// # Cleanup
+//
+// For PostgreSQL, the package creates a cleanup function that can be called manually
+// or scheduled with pg_cron:
+//
+//	SELECT cleanup_jwtblacklist();
+//
+// For MySQL/MariaDB, the package creates a database event that runs automatically
+// (requires event_scheduler to be enabled).
+//
+// Manual cleanup can be performed at any time:
+//
+//	err := gen.Cleanup(context.Background())
+//
+// # Using with ORMs
+//
+// The package works with popular ORMs by using raw SQL queries. For GORM and Bun,
+// wrap the underlying *sql.DB with NewDBConnection() when creating the generator:
+//
+//	// GORM example - can use GORM transactions directly
+//	gormDB, _ := gorm.Open(postgres.Open(dsn), &gorm.Config{})
+//	sqlDB, _ := gormDB.DB()
+//	gen, _ := jwt.CreateGenerator(jwt.GeneratorConfig{
+//	    // ... config ...
+//	    DB: sqlDB,
+//	})
+//	// Use GORM transaction
+//	tx := gormDB.Begin()
+//	token, _ := gen.ValidateAccess(tx.Statement.ConnPool, tokenString)
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+//	// Bun example - can use Bun transactions directly
+//	sqlDB, _ := sql.Open("postgres", dsn)
+//	bunDB := bun.NewDB(sqlDB, pgdialect.New())
+//	gen, _ := jwt.CreateGenerator(jwt.GeneratorConfig{
+//	    // ... config ...
+//	    DB: sqlDB,
+//	})
+//	// Use Bun transaction
+//	tx, _ := bunDB.BeginTx(context.Background(), nil)
+//	token, _ := gen.ValidateAccess(tx, tokenString)
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+// # Token Freshness
+//
+// Tokens can be marked as "fresh" for sensitive operations. Fresh tokens are typically
+// required for actions like changing passwords or email addresses:
+//
+//	token, err := gen.ValidateAccess(exec, tokenString)
+//	if time.Now().Unix() > token.Fresh {
+//	    // Token is not fresh, require re-authentication
+//	}
+//
+// # Custom Table Names
+//
+// You can customize the blacklist table name:
+//
+//	config := jwt.DefaultTableConfig()
+//	config.TableName = "my_token_blacklist"
+//
+// # Disabling Database Features
+//
+// To use JWT without revocation support (no database):
+//
+//	gen, err := jwt.CreateGenerator(jwt.GeneratorConfig{
+//	    AccessExpireAfter:  15,
+//	    RefreshExpireAfter: 1440,
+//	    FreshExpireAfter:   5,
+//	    TrustedHost:        "example.com",
+//	    SecretKey:          "your-secret-key",
+//	    DB:                 nil, // No database
+//	})
+//
+// When DB is nil, revocation features are disabled and token validation
+// will not check the blacklist.
