🔬 COMPLETE COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS - HONEST FINDINGS

Cloned all 15 competitors into OSS-REF/ folder and analyzed:

CRITICAL DISCOVERIES:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔴 TWO MAJOR DIRECT COMPETITORS FOUND:

1. RTK (rtk-ai/rtk)
   - Language: Rust
   - Last commit: 8 hours ago (VERY ACTIVE!)
   - Type: CLI proxy (exactly like TokMan)
   - Reduction: 60-90% (same claim)
   - Features: 100+ commands, Homebrew, Discord, website
   - Docs: 6 languages
   - Maturity: VERY MATURE
   - Verdict: 🔴 MAJOR COMPETITOR - More mature than TokMan

2. Snip (edouard-claude/snip)
   - Language: Go (SAME as TokMan!)
   - Last commit: 29 hours ago (VERY ACTIVE!)
   - Type: CLI proxy (exactly like TokMan)
   - Reduction: 60-90% (same claim)
   - Features: YAML pipelines, Homebrew, dashboard

🎣 PHASE 2 COMPLETE - HOOK SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS

Implemented delegating hook pattern where all rewrite logic lives in
the binary instead of shell scripts, just like RTK!

1. ✅ ENHANCED tokman rewrite COMMAND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

   Modified: internal/commands/output/rewrite.go (5.9KB)

   Features Added:
   - Exit code protocol (0-7 codes for different scenarios)
   - Safety checks (isDenied, isUnsafe, requiresConfirmation)
   - Resource-intensive detection
   - Disabled command support (from config)

   Exit Codes:
   0 - Rewrite found, auto-allow
   1 - No tokman equivalent, pass-through
   2 - Deny rule matched (dangerous command)
   3 - Rewrite found, ask user
   4 - Invalid input
   5 - Command disabled
   6 - Unsafe operation
   7 - Resource-intensive

   Safety Rules:
   - Denies: rm, dd, mkfs, fdisk, rm -rf /, etc.
   - Unsafe: curl | sh, wget | bash, etc.
   - Ask: sudo, systemctl, --force flags
   - Intensive: find /, grep -r, etc.

2. ✅ DELEGATING HOOK SCRIPT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

   Created: hooks/tokman-delegating-hook.sh (3.7KB)

   Features:
   - Thin shell script (logic in binary)
   - Delegates to tokman rewrite
   - Interprets exit codes
   - Version guard (requires >= 0.1.0)
   - Dependency checks (jq, tokman)
   - JSON input/output for AI assistants

   Benefits:
   - Single source of truth (rewrite.go)
   - Easy to maintain (edit Go, not shell)
   - Testable (unit tests in Go)
   - Version-safe (warns if binary too old)
   - More reliable

3. ✅ COMPREHENSIVE TESTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

   Created: internal/commands/output/rewrite_test.go (6.8KB)

   Test Coverage:
   - TestIsDenied (5 scenarios)
   - TestIsUnsafe (4 scenarios)
   - TestRequiresConfirmation (5 scenarios)
   - TestIsResourceIntensive (5 scenarios)
   - TestRewriteLogic (5 scenarios)

approach to ensure filter quality and reliability.

1. ✅ INLINE TESTS FOR TOML FILTERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

   Created: internal/toml/test.go (5.9KB)

   Features:
   - TOMLFilterTest struct for test definitions
   - FilterTestSuite for managing test collections
   - Test parsing from [[tests.filtername]] sections
   - Test execution with filter functions
   - Comprehensive result reporting

   Example test format:
   [[tests.git_status]]
   name = "clean working tree"
   input = """
   On branch main
   nothing to commit
   """
   expected = "nothing to commit"

2. ✅ TOKMAN FILTER TESTS COMMAND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

   Created: internal/commands/filtercmd/tests.go (8.7KB)

   Features:
   - Run all tests or specific filter tests
   - Verbose and compact output modes
   - Color-coded results (✓ ✗ ⏭)
   - Comprehensive summary
   - Exit code 1 on failures

   Usage:
   tokman tests                  # All tests
   tokman tests git_status       # Specific filter
   tokman tests -v               # Verbose output

3. ✅ TOKMAN FILTER VALIDATE COMMAND
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

   Created: internal/commands/filtercmd/validate.go (9.3KB)

   Validation Checks:
   - TOML syntax validation
   - Schema version compatibility
   - Regex pattern validity (match_command, strip/keep patterns)
   - Required field presence
   - Test case validity
   - Conflicting configuration detection
   - Reasonable limit warnings

   Usage:
   tokman validate               # All filters
   tokman validate git.toml      # Specific file
   tokman validate --all         # Builtin + user filters
   tokman validate -v            # Verbose output

   Output:
   ✓ git.toml [git_status] (6 tests)
   ✗ broken.toml [broken]
     ✗ [broken] invalid match_command regex
     ⚠ No tests defined

4. ✅ ADDED INLINE TESTS TO GIT.TOML
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

   Modified: internal/toml/builtin/git.toml (3.4KB)

   Added 6 comprehensive tests:
   - git_status: clean working tree
   - git_status: modified files
   - git_status: untracked files
   - git_log: strips metadata
   - git_diff: shows additions/deletions
   - git_branch: strips empty lines
   - git_remote: lists remotes

5. ✅ FIXED TOML FILTER SYNTAX
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

   Modified: 23 builtin filter files

   Fixed: Changed 'match = ' to 'match_command = '
   - bun.toml, turbo.toml, uv.toml
   - bundle-install.toml, curl.toml, eslint.toml
   - fd.toml, gcc-filter.toml, jest.toml
   - kotlinc.toml, kubectl-*.toml
   - npm-test.toml, pip-install.toml
   - playwright.toml, rg.toml, rustc.toml
   - terraform-*.toml, trivy.toml
   - vitest.toml, webpack.toml, yarn.toml

   Fixed: apt.toml (expected_contains → expected)

TESTING RESULTS:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Manual Testing:
  ✅ tokman tests git_status → 3 tests found and executed
  ✅ tokman validate → 96 filters validated
  ✅ Syntax validation working (catches invalid regex)
  ✅ Test parsing working (parses [[tests.filtername]])
  ✅ Warning system working (missing tests, conflicts)

Validation Sample Output:
  ✓ ansible-playbook.toml [ansible_playbook] (2 tests)
  ✓ apt.toml [apt] (2 tests)
  ✓ git.toml [git_status] (6 tests)
  ✓ bun.toml [bun-install]
    ⚠ No tests defined
  ✓ cargo.toml [cargo_test]
    ⚠ [cargo_test] both head and tail specified

- Updated config paths: ~/.config/tok/ and ~/.local/share/tok/
- Updated module path: github.com/lakshmanpatel/tok
- Added unified CLI with input/output/both/doctor/status commands
- Working commands:
  - tok compress -mode ultra -input "text"
  - tok on/terse/compact/mode/off/statusline
  - tok commit (generate from git diff)
  - tok review (analyze staged changes)
  - tok output <any-command> (100+ filtered commands)
  - tok doctor (unified diagnostics)
  - tok status (unified status)

Single 41MB binary with no external dependencies.
Removed analysis reports and implementation docs from tokman era:
- AGENTS.md, ANALYSIS_REPORT.md, BUILD_SUCCESS.md
- COMPLETION_REPORT.md, EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY.md, FIXES_IMPLEMENTED.md
- IMPLEMENTATION_*.md files
- PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md, VERIFICATION_REPORT.md
- All TOKMAN_ANALYSIS_PART*.md files
- TOKMAN_COMPLETE_ANALYSIS_INDEX.md, TOKMAN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md

Kept essential docs:
- README.md, CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
- AUTHORS.md, SECURITY.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md
Restructured application following standard Go project layout:

- cmd/tok/main.go: Reduced from 509 lines to 28 lines
  - Now just creates app and runs it
  - All business logic moved to internal/app/

- internal/app/: New application layer
  - app.go: Main coordinator, routing, and command dispatch
  - input/: All input compression commands (compress, mode, on/off, commit, review)
  - output/: Output filtering wrapper (delegates to pkg/cli)
  - unified/: Cross-cutting commands (doctor, status, version, both)

- Clear separation of concerns:
  - cmd/: Entry points only
  - internal/app/: Application logic
  - internal/: Domain packages (compressor, git, hooks, review)
  - pkg/: Public API (cli package)

Benefits:
- Easier to test (each handler is independent)
- Easier to maintain (single responsibility)
- Easier to extend (add new handlers)
- Follows Go best practices for project structure
…ture, add output abstraction layer

- Consolidate dual architecture: main.go now calls commands.Execute() (cobra-based 100+ commands)
- Merge all tokman and tork features into unified tok CLI
- Add output abstraction layer (internal/output) replacing 1,328+ fmt.Print* calls
- Add fuzz tests for TOML parsing and pipeline input
- Implement stub code: DAGOptimizer (Kahn's algo), DifferentialCompressor, PerplexityOptimizer
- Add tok completion, tok man, tok self-update commands
- Add input size guards (50MB limit) and signal handling for graceful shutdown
- Add Dockerfile (multi-stage alpine build)
- Add SBOM generation to release pipeline
- Unify coverage thresholds to 60% across all CI files
- Remove all tokman/tork references (GrayCodeAI → lakshmanpatel)
- Add shell script path validation (absolute, traversal, world-writable checks)
- Add agents/ directory with 12 agent rule files
- Add hooks/ directory with bash/PowerShell install scripts
- Fix module path consistency throughout codebase
Bumps [docker/login-action](https://github.com/docker/login-action) from 3 to 4.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
