docs: complete project documentation and Gitea CI setup

Add STATUS.md (what's done, verification, future work), GITEA.md (act_runner,
master branch policy, pipeline), and CONTRIBUTING.md (dev guide, new language
checklist). Update README for all 28 validators, docs index, and project tree.

Align Gitea Actions with master as default branch; add PR and issue templates.
Expand .gitignore for debug artifacts and test binaries.

# Contributing to Nimcheck
Thanks for helping improve Nimcheck. This project is intentionally small: pure Nim stdlib, tokenizer-based validation, no external parser deps.
---
## Before you start
1. Read [docs/STATUS.md](docs/STATUS.md) — what's done and project scope.
2. Read [README.md](README.md) — architecture and API.
3. Default branch is **`master`**. Open PRs against `master`.
4. CI must pass: `make lint && make test` (see [docs/GITEA.md](docs/GITEA.md)).
---
## Development setup
```bash
git clone https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/nimcheck.git
cd nimcheck
nimble build
nimble test
```
Requires **Nim >= 2.0.0**.
---
## Code style
- Match existing naming and module layout.
- Keep validators simple: tokenize → analyze → report.
- **Never throw from validation paths** — catch and return `E9999`.
- No new external dependencies without discussion.
- Minimal comments; code should be self-explanatory.
---
## Adding a new language
### 1. Types and detection
In `src/nimcheck/core/types.nim`:
- Add `lfYourlang` to `LanguageFlavor` if missing.
- Add string conversion in `$` / `parseFlavor` helpers.
In `src/nimcheck/core/detector.nim`:
- Add extension mappings to `extensionMap`.
- Add shebang entries if applicable.
- Add content-scoring keywords (avoid false positives — see entropy/margin rules).
### 2. Tokenizer
Create `src/nimcheck/tokenizers/<lang>_tokenizer.nim` (or extend `extended_tokenizers.nim` / `cfamily_tokenizers.nim` for CLike langs):
```nim
type MyLangTokenizer* = ref object of TokenizerBase
method tokenize*(self: MyLangTokenizer) =
while self.hasMore():
let posBefore = self.pos
# ... lex next token ...
self.finishTokenizeStep(posBefore) # REQUIRED — prevents infinite loops
self.emitToken(tkEndOfFile, "", self.currentPos())
```
Rules:
- Always call `finishTokenizeStep(posBefore)` at end of each loop iteration.
- Use `closeBracket()` for `)`, `]`, `}` — it advances position.
- Record errors via `recordError()`, don't raise.
### 3. Validator
Create `src/nimcheck/languages/<lang>_validator.nim`:
```nim
type MyLangValidator* = ref object of ValidatorBase
method createTokenizer*(self: MyLangValidator): TokenizerBase = ...
method analyzeTokens*(self: MyLangValidator) =
procCall ValidatorBase(self).analyzeTokens() # bracket validation
# language-specific block/string/structure checks
```
Register in `init()`:
```nim
registerValidator("mylang", proc(...) = result = newMyLangValidator(...))
```
### 4. Wire up
- Import validator in `src/nimcheck.nim` (inside the validator import block).
- Add factory case in `src/nimcheck/core/validatorbase.nim` `createValidator()` if needed.
### 5. Tests
For each language add:
```
tests/fixtures/<lang>/valid.*
tests/fixtures/<lang>/invalid.*
tests/fixtures/<lang>/edge_cases.*
tests/test_<lang>.nim # basic: good code, bad code, files, detectFlavor
tests/test_<lang>_exhaustive.nim
```
Add shared snippets to `tests/test_common.nim` if other tests need them.
Import in `tests/test_all.nim`.
**Makefile tab pitfall:** In Nim `"""` strings, a line starting with `\t` is often backslash+t (ord 92+116), not TAB (ord 9). Use:
```nim
"""recipe line""" & "\t" & """command"""
```
### 6. Documentation
Update `README.md` language table and `docs/STATUS.md` if adding a flavor.
---
## Running tests
```bash
make test # everything
nim c -r tests/test_go.nim # single language
make test-nim # via Makefile shortcut
nimble test # via nimble task
```
---
## Pull request checklist
- [ ] `make lint` passes
- [ ] `make test` passes
- [ ] New language has fixtures + basic + exhaustive tests
- [ ] `detectFlavor` works for good-code sample in `test_common.nim`
- [ ] No debug binaries or `*.log` committed
- [ ] README / STATUS updated if behavior or flavors changed
---
## Reporting bugs
Include:
1. Nim version (`nim --version`)
2. Input source (minimal repro)
3. Expected vs actual `ValidationResult`
4. Whether it hangs (likely tokenizer loop — check `finishTokenizeStep`)

### LanguageFlavor (enum, pure)
All 28 flavors defined in `src/nimcheck/core/types.nim`. Flavors with validators (bold) are fully supported; the rest are detectable but have no dedicated validator.
All 28 flavors in `src/nimcheck/core/types.nim` have dedicated validators (v0.1.0). Registry aliases (e.g. `py`, `js`, `md`) map to the same validators — see `supportedFlavors()` or `bin/nimcheck help`.

## Contributing
Contributions are welcome. Open an issue to discuss your idea before submitting a pull request.
See **[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)** for the full guide (setup, adding languages, PR checklist).
### Adding a New Language
Design principles: KISS tokenizers, never crash, pure Nim stdlib, shared logic in `tokenizerbase.nim` / `validatorbase.nim`.
See `LESSONS_LEARNED.md` for the complete checklist (Section 14). The minimum steps are:
---
1. Create `src/nimcheck/tokenizers/<lang>_tokenizer.nim` inheriting from `TokenizerBase`
2. Implement the `tokenize()` method with language-specific lexing
3. Create `src/nimcheck/languages/<lang>_validator.nim` inheriting from `ValidatorBase`
4. Implement `createTokenizer()`, `analyzeTokens()`, and `buildModuleInfo()`
5. Add `registerValidator("flavor", constructor)` in the validator's `init()` proc
6. Import the validator in `src/nimcheck.nim`
7. Add extension mappings to `detector.nim`
8. Add test fixtures and test files under `tests/`
9. Update the test master runner `tests/test_all.nim`
## Documentation Index
### Design Principles
- **KISS**: Keep validators simple - tokenize, analyze brackets, report
- **Never crash**: Every validation path in a try/except
- **No external deps**: Pure Nim standard library
- **DRY**: Common logic in `tokenizerbase.nim` and `validatorbase.nim`

| [docs/STATUS.md](docs/STATUS.md) | **What's done**, verification steps, optional future work |

# Gitea CI Setup — Nimcheck
This repo runs CI through **Gitea Actions** (compatible with GitHub Actions workflow syntax). Workflows live in `.gitea/workflows/`.
---
## Repository settings
| Setting | Value |
|---------|-------|
| **Default branch** | `master` |
| **Remote URL** | `https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/nimcheck.git` |
| **Workflow file** | `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` |
If you create the repo fresh on Gitea, set **Default Branch** to `master` under **Settings → Repository → Default Branch**. The CI workflow already triggers on `master`; `main` and `develop` are also accepted for compatibility.
---
## Required: act_runner
CI jobs use `runs-on: ubuntu-latest`. You need a Gitea **act_runner** registered to your instance with that label.
### 1. Install act_runner (on a Linux host)
Follow [Gitea act_runner docs](https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/act-runner):
```bash
# Example: download release binary, register with your instance
./act_runner register --instance https://retoor.molodetz.nl --token <REGISTRATION_TOKEN>
./act_runner daemon
```
Get the registration token from: **Site Administration → Actions → Runners** (or repo-level if enabled).
### 2. Verify runner labels
The runner must expose `ubuntu-latest` (default for many setups). Check in Gitea UI: **Settings → Actions → Runners**.
### 3. Enable Actions on the repo
**Repository → Settings → Actions** — ensure workflows are enabled.

## Pipeline overview
```
push/PR to master (or main/develop)
┌───────┐
│ lint │ nim c --hints:on --warnings:on
└───┬───┘
┌───────┐
│ test │ matrix: Nim 2.0.8 + stable
└───┬───┘
┌───────┐
│ build │ release binary → artifact (7 days)
└───────┘
┌──────────┐
│ coverage │ manual / master only (optional)
└──────────┘
```
| Job | Trigger | What it does |
|-----|---------|--------------|
| `lint` | Every push/PR | Compile with all hints/warnings (`make lint`) |
| `test` | After lint | Full suite on Nim 2.0.8 and stable (`make test`) |
| `build` | After lint+test | Release build, upload `bin/nimcheck` artifact |
| `coverage` | Manual dispatch or push to `master` | Instrumented tests (optional, needs nimcoverage) |
Concurrency: one run per branch; newer pushes cancel in-progress runs.
---
## Branch policy
| Branch | Role |
|--------|------|
| `master` | **Production default** — merge here; CI must be green |
| `develop` | Optional integration branch (CI runs) |
| `main` | Alias support in CI only; not the repo default today |
### Typical workflow
```bash
git checkout master
git pull origin master
# ... work ...
git checkout -b feature/my-change
# commit, push
# Open PR → master on Gitea
# Merge when CI green
```
---
## Caching
CI caches:
- `~/.choosenim` — Nim toolchain per version
- `~/.nimble` — nimble packages (keyed on `nimcheck.nimble`)
First run is slower; subsequent runs reuse caches.
---
## Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Workflow never starts | Enable Actions; check act_runner is online |
| `runs-on: ubuntu-latest` no runner | Register runner with that label |
| `make: command not found` | Runner image must include `make` (ubuntu images do) |
| choosenim download fails | Runner needs outbound HTTPS to nim-lang.org |
| Tests timeout | Full suite ~15s; increase job timeout if runner is slow |
| Coverage job fails | Expected if `nimcoverage` unavailable — job uses `\|\| true` |
### Re-run CI manually
**Actions → CI → Run workflow** (workflow_dispatch).
---
## Local parity with CI
```bash
make lint
make test
make build
```
If these pass locally, CI should pass on `ubuntu-latest` with Nim stable.
---
## Artifacts
The `build` job uploads `nimcheck-<os>-<sha>` containing `bin/nimcheck`. Download from the workflow run page in Gitea (retention: 7 days).

Nimcheck is **feature-complete for v0.1.0**. All planned languages have tokenizers, validators, fixtures, and tests. Critical crash bugs (infinite tokenizer loops → OOM) are fixed. The project is ready to use as a library, CLI, or CI gate.

## What Is Done
### Core framework
| Component | Status | Notes |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| Tokenizer base (`tokenizerbase.nim`) | Done | Position tracking, bracket stack, `closeBracket` advance, `finishTokenizeStep` stall guard |
| Validator base (`validatorbase.nim`) | Done | Pipeline, factory, registry for all flavors |
| Detector (`detector.nim`) | Done | Extension, shebang, content scoring; false-positive filters (entropy, margin) |
| Public API (`nimcheck.nim`) | Done | `validateSource`, `validateFile`, `inspectSource`, `detectFlavor`, CLI |
| Error reporting (`reporting/errors.nim`) | Done | Human + JSON output |
| Never-crash guarantee | Done | All paths wrapped; fuzz-tested |
### Languages with full validator support (28 flavors, 40+ registry aliases)
| Group | Flavors | Tokenizer module | Validator module |
|-------|---------|------------------|------------------|
| Nim | `nim`, `nims`, `nimble` | `nim_tokenizer.nim` | `nim_validator.nim` |
| Shell | `bash`, `sh`, `shell` | `bash_tokenizer.nim` | `bash_validator.nim` |

| HTML / XML | `html`, `htm`, `xml`, `xsd`, `xslt`, `svg` | `html_tokenizer.nim`, `type_xml_tokenizer.nim` | `html_validator.nim`, `type_xml_validator.nim` |
| Jinja | `jinja`, `jinja2`, `j2` | `jinja_tokenizer.nim` | `jinja_validator.nim` |
| Config | `json`, `jsonc`, `yaml`, `yml`, `toml` | (parser / line-based) | `config_validators.nim` |
| C family | `c`, `h`, `cpp`, `cxx`, `hpp`, `java`, `csharp`, `cs` | `cfamily_tokenizers.nim` | `cfamily_validators.nim` |
| Systems / scripting | `go`, `rust`, `ruby`, `lua`, `swift`, `kotlin`, `kt` | `extended_tokenizers.nim`, `lang_tokenizers.nim` | `extended_validators.nim`, `lang_validators.nim` |
| Web / data / ops | `css`, `sql`, `markdown`, `md`, `dockerfile`, `makefile` | `extended_tokenizers.nim` | `extended_validators.nim` |
### Tests
| Suite | Count | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| Per-language basic + exhaustive | 30+ modules | All pass |
| Config (`test_config.nim`) | JSON/YAML/TOML | Pass |
| Mixed files (`test_mixed.nim`) | HTML+Jinja etc. | Pass |
| Fuzz (`test_fuzz.nim`) | Null bytes, 10k strings, 100-level nesting, concurrency | Pass |
| Fixtures | `tests/fixtures/<lang>/` valid, invalid, edge_cases | Present for all new langs |
### CI / Gitea
| Item | Status |
|------|--------|
| Workflow `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` | Done — lint, test matrix (Nim 2.0.8 + stable), build artifact |
| Default branch triggers | `master` (primary), `main` and `develop` also accepted |
| act_runner requirement | `ubuntu-latest` label — see [GITEA.md](GITEA.md) |
### Bug fixes shipped in v0.1.0
1. **`closeBracket()` did not advance `pos`** — caused infinite loops on `)`, `]`, `}` in CLike tokenizers → OOM kill.
2. **Jinja lone `{`** — text collector stalled without advancing.
3. **JS/TS double-advance** — caller + `closeBracket` both advanced.
4. **`finishTokenizeStep`** — safety net if tokenizer position stalls.
5. **Lua `for … do`**`do` incorrectly opened nested block.
6. **Ruby postfix `unless`** — modifier form incorrectly opened block.
7. **Makefile test tabs**`\t` in triple-quoted strings was backslash+t, not TAB.
8. **SQL trailing comma**`,\n)` not detected (whitespace between comma and paren).
9. **`detectFlavor` scoring** — C++, Kotlin, Swift, CSS, Markdown samples now detect correctly.

## How To Verify (local)
```bash
# From repo root
nimble build # or: make build
nimble test # or: make test (~11 seconds)
make lint # strict compile check
```
Expected: exit code 0, no `[FAILED]` lines.
---
## How To Use
### Library
```nim
import nimcheck
let r = validateFile("src/main.nim")
echo r.valid
```
### CLI
```bash
make build
bin/nimcheck validate --file=script.py
bin/nimcheck detect --file=unknown.txt
bin/nimcheck inspect --file=main.go --json
```
See [README.md](../README.md) for full API and JSON schemas.

## What Is NOT Done (optional / future)
These are **not blockers** for v0.1.0:
| Item | Priority | Notes |
|------|----------|-------|
| Compiler-grade semantics | Low | Validators are tokenizer/structure checks, not full parsers |
| `finishTokenizeStep` on every tokenizer | Low | Defense in depth; core paths covered |
| Semantic analysis (undefined vars, types) | Future | Error codes E1004E1009 reserved |
| Coverage job in CI | Optional | Requires `nimcoverage`; manual dispatch only |
| Rename `master``main` | Optional | Repo uses `master`; CI supports both |
| Published nimble package | Future | `nimble install` from git works today |
---
## Repository Hygiene
**Ignored by `.gitignore`:** compiled test binaries, `bin/`, `*.log`, `debug_*`, `test_hang*`, editor temp files.
**Do not commit:** local debug scripts, `test_run*.log`, choosenim caches.
---
## Release Checklist (when bumping version)
1. Update `version` in `nimcheck.nimble` and `nimcheckVersion` in `src/nimcheck.nim`
2. Update version line in `README.md` and this file
3. `nimble build && nimble test`
4. Tag: `git tag v0.2.0 && git push origin v0.2.0`
5. Confirm Gitea Actions green on `master`
