+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+`tmpltool` is a fast, single-binary command-line template rendering tool built in Rust. It uses MiniJinja (Jinja2-compatible) templates with environment variables and provides extensive custom functions for hash generation, filesystem operations, data parsing, and validation.
+
+## Common Commands
+
+**Note:** This project uses `cargo-make` for task automation. Install it once with:
+```bash
+cargo install --force cargo-make
+```
+
+### Building
+```bash
+# Debug build
+cargo make build
+
+# Release build (optimized)
+cargo make build-release
+# Binary location: ./target/release/tmpltool
+
+# Fast compile check (no binary)
+cargo make check
+
+# Clean build artifacts
+cargo make clean
+```
+
+### Testing
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+cargo make test
+
+# Run with verbose output
+cargo make test-verbose
+
+# Run specific test (use cargo directly)
+cargo test test_name
+
+# Test all example templates
+cargo make test-examples
+```
+
+### Code Quality
+```bash
+# Format code (auto-fix)
+cargo make format
+
+# Check formatting without changes
+cargo make format-check
+
+# Run linter
+cargo make clippy
+
+# Run linter with auto-fix
+cargo make clippy-fix
+
+# Full QA check (format + clippy + test)
+cargo make qa
+
+# CI checks (format-check + clippy + test)
+cargo make ci
+
+# Pre-commit checks
+cargo make pre-commit
+```
+
+### Running the Tool
+```bash
+# Run with example (uses cargo make)
+cargo make run
+
+# From source with custom template (use cargo directly)
+cargo run -- examples/greeting.tmpl
+
+# From release binary
+./target/release/tmpltool examples/greeting.tmpl
+
+# With environment variables
+NAME="Alice" ./target/release/tmpltool examples/greeting.tmpl
+
+# With trust mode (allows filesystem access outside CWD)
+./target/release/tmpltool --trust system_info.tmpl
+
+# Output to file
+./target/release/tmpltool template.tmpl -o output.txt
+
+# Read from stdin
+echo 'Hello {{ get_env(name="USER") }}!' | ./target/release/tmpltool
+```
+
+### Documentation
+```bash
+# Generate and open documentation
+cargo make docs
+
+# Generate documentation without opening
+cargo make docs-build
+```
+
+### Utilities
+```bash
+# Install binary to ~/.cargo/bin
+cargo make install
+
+# Uninstall binary
+cargo make uninstall
+
+# Security audit of dependencies
+cargo make audit
+
+# Check for outdated dependencies
+cargo make outdated
+
+# Update dependencies
+cargo make update
+```
+
+### Cross-Platform Builds
+```bash
+cargo make build-linux-x86_64      # Linux x86_64
+cargo make build-linux-musl        # Linux (static)
+cargo make build-macos-x86_64      # macOS Intel
+cargo make build-macos-aarch64     # macOS Apple Silicon
+cargo make build-windows-x86_64    # Windows
+cargo make build-all-platforms     # All platforms
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### High-Level Structure
+
+The codebase follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:
+
+```
+src/
+├── main.rs           - Entry point (CLI parsing, error handling)
+├── lib.rs            - Public API exports
+├── cli.rs            - Command-line argument definitions (Clap)
+├── context.rs        - Template execution context (base path, trust mode)
+├── renderer.rs       - Core template rendering logic (MiniJinja setup)
+├── functions/        - Custom template functions (modular)
+│   ├── mod.rs        - Function registration with MiniJinja
+│   ├── environment.rs
+│   ├── hash.rs
+│   ├── filesystem.rs
+│   ├── data_parsing.rs
+│   ├── validation.rs
+│   ├── datetime.rs
+│   ├── random.rs
+│   └── uuid_gen.rs
+└── filters/          - Custom template filters
+    ├── mod.rs
+    ├── formatting.rs
+    └── string.rs
+```
+
+### Key Architectural Patterns
+
+**1. Template Context (`TemplateContext`)**
+- Manages base directory for relative path resolution
+- Enforces security restrictions (trust mode vs. restricted mode)
+- Shared across all filesystem functions via `Arc<TemplateContext>`
+- Created in `renderer.rs`, passed to function registration
+
+**2. Function Registration Pattern**
+- All functions registered in `functions::mod.rs::register_all()`
+- Simple functions (no context): Direct function references
+- Context-aware functions: Factory pattern using closures with `Arc<TemplateContext>`
+- MiniJinja's `Kwargs` pattern for named arguments: `kwargs.get("arg_name")?`
+
+**3. Security Model**
+- Default mode: Only relative paths within CWD allowed
+- Trust mode (`--trust` flag): Unrestricted filesystem access
+- Path validation in `TemplateContext::validate_and_resolve_path()`
+- Security checks: Absolute paths (`/`), parent traversal (`..`)
+
+**4. Rendering Flow**
+```
+main.rs → render_template() → read_template() → render() → write_output()
+                                                    ↓
+                              Environment::new() + functions::register_all()
+                                                    ↓
+                              Template parsing + rendering with context
+```
+
+### Adding New Functions
+
+When adding new template functions:
+
+1. **Create function file** in `src/functions/` (e.g., `network.rs`)
+2. **Implement function** using MiniJinja patterns:
+   ```rust
+   use minijinja::value::Kwargs;
+   use minijinja::{Error, Value};
+
+   pub fn my_function(kwargs: Kwargs) -> Result<Value, Error> {
+       let arg: String = kwargs.get("arg_name")?;
+       // Implementation
+       Ok(Value::from(result))
+   }
+   ```
+3. **Add module declaration** in `src/functions/mod.rs`: `pub mod network;`
+4. **Register function** in `register_all()`: `env.add_function("my_function", network::my_function);`
+5. **Write tests** in `tests/test_my_function.rs`. IMPORTANT: always in tests folder write tests. src folder should be clean from the tests.
+6. **Document** in README.md with examples
+
+**For context-aware functions (filesystem access):**
+```rust
+use std::sync::Arc;
+use crate::TemplateContext;
+
+pub fn create_my_fn(context: Arc<TemplateContext>) -> impl Fn(Kwargs) -> Result<Value, Error> {
+    move |kwargs: Kwargs| {
+        let path: String = kwargs.get("path")?;
+        let resolved = context.validate_and_resolve_path(&path)?;
+        // Use resolved path
+        Ok(Value::from(result))
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Philosophy
+
+- Unit tests in `tests/` directory
+- Integration tests use actual template rendering
+- Security tests verify trust mode restrictions
+- Example templates in `examples/` serve as integration tests
+- Test helper pattern: `render_template_from_string()` in test files
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Before Committing
+
+```bash
+# Run full QA check (recommended)
+cargo make qa
+
+# Or use pre-commit task
+cargo make pre-commit
+
+# Quick development check
+cargo make dev
+```
+
+### Release Preparation
+
+```bash
+# Prepare for release (clean + format + clippy + test + build-release)
+cargo make release-prepare
+
+# Full build and test suite
+cargo make all
+```
+
+**Commit message format:** This project uses [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
+- `feat: description` - New feature (minor version bump)
+- `fix: description` - Bug fix (patch version bump)
+- `feat!: description` - Breaking change (major version bump)
+- `docs:`, `refactor:`, `perf:` - Other changes (patch bump)
+- `style:`, `test:`, `chore:`, `ci:` - No version bump
+
+Husky pre-commit hooks validate commit message format.
+
+### Debugging Template Rendering
+
+When debugging template issues:
+1. Check MiniJinja error output (detailed with line/column info)
+2. Test with minimal template first
+3. Use `--trust` for filesystem debugging
+4. Verify environment variables: `env | grep VAR_NAME`
+5. Test functions in isolation (unit tests)
+
+## Important Implementation Details
+
+### MiniJinja vs. Tera
+- Previously used Tera, migrated to MiniJinja
+- MiniJinja is more lightweight, faster, better maintained
+- Syntax is Jinja2-compatible
+- Built-in filters available: `upper`, `lower`, `trim`, `slugify`, `filesizeformat`, `date`, etc.
+
+### Environment Variables
+- **NOT** automatically available in templates (unlike shell scripts)
+- Must use `get_env(name="VAR", default="value")` function
+- Design decision: Explicit is safer than implicit
+
+### Path Resolution
+- Templates can include other templates: `{% include "partial.tmpl" %}`
+- Paths resolved relative to template's directory (or CWD if stdin)
+- Lazy loading via `Environment::set_loader()`
+
+### Error Handling
+- Use descriptive error messages with context
+- Include path information in filesystem errors
+- MiniJinja provides excellent error formatting (use it)
+- Return `Box<dyn std::error::Error>` from public APIs
+
+## File Organization
+
+### Examples Directory
+`examples/` contains demonstration templates:
+- `greeting.tmpl` - Simple variable substitution
+- `basic.tmpl` - Environment variable filtering
+- `config-with-defaults.tmpl` - Default values
+- `docker-compose.tmpl` - Real-world Docker Compose generation
+- `comprehensive-app-config.tmpl` - All features showcase
+
+### Tests Organization
+- `tests/test_*_unit.rs` - Unit tests for specific functions
+- `tests/test_*_functions.rs` - Integration tests for function categories
+- `tests/test_successful_rendering.rs` - End-to-end rendering tests
+- `tests/test_invalid_template_syntax.rs` - Error handling tests
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Core dependencies:
+- `minijinja` - Template engine (Jinja2-compatible)
+- `clap` - CLI argument parsing (derive API)
+- `serde` / `serde_json` - Serialization
+- `regex` - Pattern matching
+- `md-5`, `sha1`, `sha2` - Cryptographic hashing
+- `uuid` - UUID generation
+- `rand` - Random number/string generation
+- `glob` - File pattern matching
+- `serde_yaml`, `toml` - YAML/TOML parsing
+- `chrono` - Date/time handling
+
+## CI/CD
+
+GitHub Actions workflows:
+- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` - Format, clippy, tests, coverage
+- `.github/workflows/release.yml` - Automated releases with semantic-release
+
+Releases are automated:
+1. Commit with conventional format
+2. Push to `master`
+3. `semantic-release` determines version
+4. Updates `Cargo.toml`, generates `CHANGELOG.md`
+5. Builds multi-platform binaries
+6. Creates GitHub release
+7. Publishes Docker images to GHCR
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+When working on filesystem functions:
+- **Always** validate paths through `TemplateContext::validate_and_resolve_path()`
+- Check trust mode before allowing absolute/parent paths
+- Use descriptive security error messages (mention `--trust` flag)
+- Test both restricted and trust modes
+- Consider symlink attacks in path validation
+
+When adding crypto functions:
+- Document appropriate use cases (checksums vs. password hashing)
+- Use established crates (`md-5`, `sha2`) not custom implementations
+- Generate secure random values with `rand::thread_rng()`
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+See `TODO.md` for comprehensive list of proposed features organized by category:
+- Network & System Functions (hostname, IP, DNS resolution)
+- Math & Calculation Functions (min, max, round, percentage)
+- Enhanced String Manipulation (case conversion, padding)
+- Advanced Date/Time Functions (parsing, timezone conversion)
+- Security & Encoding (base64, bcrypt, HMAC)
+- Container/Orchestration Helpers (Kubernetes label sanitization)
+
+When implementing features from TODO.md:
+- Follow existing patterns (modular function files)
+- Add comprehensive tests
+- Document with real-world examples
+- Consider security implications
+- Update README.md with usage examples

+Docker images are available for extracting the binary into your own images (similar to gomplate pattern):
 
-```bash
-docker pull ghcr.io/bordeux/tmpltool:latest
+**In Your Dockerfile:**
+```dockerfile
+# Multi-stage build to copy tmpltool binary
+FROM ghcr.io/bordeux/tmpltool:latest AS tmpltool
+
+FROM alpine:latest
+# Copy the binary from the tmpltool image
+COPY --from=tmpltool /tmpltool /usr/local/bin/tmpltool
+
+# Now use tmpltool in your build process
+COPY config.tmpl /app/
+RUN tmpltool /app/config.tmpl -o /app/config.json --validate json
 ```
 
-Create a shell alias for convenience:
+**Available Tags:**
+- `latest` - Latest stable release
+- `v1.x.x` - Specific version tags
+- Multi-arch support: `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64`
 
+**For Local Testing:**
 ```bash
-alias tmpltool='docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace -w /workspace ghcr.io/bordeux/tmpltool:latest'
+# Extract binary to local system

-**Common filters:**
+**Built-in MiniJinja filters:**
 - `upper`, `lower`, `title` - Case conversion
 - `trim`, `truncate` - String operations
-- `slugify` - Convert to URL-friendly slug
-- `urlencode` - URL encoding
-- `filesizeformat` - Format bytes (e.g., "1.5 KB")
 - `date(format="%Y-%m-%d")` - Date formatting
 - `split(pat=",")` - Split string into array
 - `length` - Get array/string length
 
+**Custom string manipulation filters:**
+- `slugify` - Convert to URL-friendly slug (e.g., "Hello World" → "hello-world")
+- `indent(spaces=4)` - Indent text by N spaces (useful for YAML/configs)
+- `dedent` - Remove common leading whitespace
+- `quote(style="double")` - Quote string (single/double/backtick)
+- `escape_quotes` - Escape quotes in string
+- `to_snake_case` - Convert to snake_case (e.g., "HelloWorld" → "hello_world")
+- `to_camel_case` - Convert to camelCase (e.g., "hello_world" → "helloWorld")
+- `to_pascal_case` - Convert to PascalCase (e.g., "hello_world" → "HelloWorld")
+- `to_kebab_case` - Convert to kebab-case (e.g., "HelloWorld" → "hello-world")
+- `pad_left(length, char=" ")` - Pad string on left
+- `pad_right(length, char=" ")` - Pad string on right
+- `repeat(count)` - Repeat string N times

+### Encoding & Security Functions
 
-All filesystem functions enforce security restrictions to prevent unauthorized access. Only relative paths within the current working directory are allowed unless `--trust` mode is enabled.
+Functions for encoding, decoding, password hashing, and escaping data for various contexts.
 
-**Security Restrictions:**
-- ✗ No absolute paths (e.g., `/etc/passwd`)
-- ✗ No parent directory traversal (e.g., `../../secret.txt`)
-- ✓ Only relative paths within current directory
+#### `base64_encode(string)`
 
-**Trust Mode:** Use `--trust` flag to bypass these restrictions for trusted templates.
+Encode a string to Base64 format.
 
-```bash
-tmpltool --trust template.tmpl  # Can access any file
+**Arguments:**
+- `string` (required) - String to encode
+
+**Returns:** Base64-encoded string
+
+**Examples:**
+```jinja
+{{ base64_encode(string="Hello World") }}
+{# Output: SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ= #}
+

+  total_capacity: {{ cpu_count * 2000 }}
+```
+
+**Security Considerations:**
+
+⚠️ **Command Injection Risk:** Never use untrusted input in commands
+```jinja
+{# ❌ DANGEROUS - DO NOT DO THIS #}
+{% set user_input = get_env(name="USER_INPUT") %}
+{{ exec(command="echo " ~ user_input) }}  {# COMMAND INJECTION! #}
+
+{# ✓ SAFE - Use only hardcoded, trusted commands #}
+{{ exec(command="hostname") }}
+{{ exec(command="date") }}
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Commands are executed via the system shell (`sh -c` on Unix, `cmd /C` on Windows)
+- All shell features work: pipes (`|`), redirections (`>`, `2>&1`), command substitution (`$()`)
+- Use `exec()` for simple cases where you just want output
+- Use `exec_raw()` when you need to check exit codes or handle errors
+- Always use `2>/dev/null || echo 'fallback'` patterns for robust error handling
+- Keep commands fast - they block template rendering
+
+### Filesystem Functions
+
+All filesystem functions enforce security restrictions to prevent unauthorized access. Only relative paths within the current working directory are allowed unless `--trust` mode is enabled.
+
+**Security Restrictions:**
+- ✗ No absolute paths (e.g., `/etc/passwd`)
+- ✗ No parent directory traversal (e.g., `../../secret.txt`)
+- ✓ Only relative paths within current directory
+
+**Trust Mode:** Use `--trust` flag to bypass these restrictions for trusted templates.

+### Object Manipulation Functions
+
+Work with objects (maps/dictionaries) to merge, access nested values, and inspect structure. These functions are essential for complex configuration generation and data transformation.
+
+#### `object_merge(obj1, obj2)`
+
+Deep merge two objects. When keys conflict, values from `obj2` override values from `obj1`. Nested objects are merged recursively.

+- `obj2` (required) - Second object (overlay, takes precedence)
+
+**Returns:** New object with merged values

+
+**Arguments:**
+- `message` (required) - Error message
+
+**Returns:** Never returns (always throws error)
+
+**Examples:**
+```jinja
+{# Abort if critical file missing #}

+  {{ abort(message="Critical configuration file 'critical.conf' is missing") }}
+{% endif %}
+
+{# Abort if environment is invalid #}
+{% set env = get_env(name="APP_ENV", default="") %}
+{% if env not in ["development", "staging", "production"] %}
+  {{ abort(message="Invalid APP_ENV: must be development, staging, or production, got: " ~ env) }}
+{% endif %}
+
+{# Abort on validation failure #}
+{% set port = get_env(name="PORT", default="8080") | int %}
+{% if port < 1024 or port > 65535 %}
+  {{ abort(message="Invalid PORT: must be between 1024 and 65535, got: " ~ port) }}
+{% endif %}
+
+{# Abort if required secrets are missing #}
+{% set api_key = get_env(name="API_KEY", default="") %}
+{% set db_password = get_env(name="DB_PASSWORD", default="") %}
+{% if api_key == "" or db_password == "" %}
+  {{ abort(message="Missing required secrets: API_KEY and DB_PASSWORD must be set") }}
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+**Error output:**
+```
+Error: Critical configuration file 'critical.conf' is missing
+```
+
+**Practical Example - Configuration Validation:**
+```yaml
+# Production Configuration Template
+
+# Validate critical environment
+{% set env = get_env(name="APP_ENV", default="") %}
+{{ assert(condition=env in ["staging", "production"], message="APP_ENV must be staging or production") }}
+
+# Validate required secrets
+{% set db_url = get_env(name="DATABASE_URL", default="") %}
+{{ assert(condition=db_url != "", message="DATABASE_URL is required") }}
+
+{% set api_key = get_env(name="API_KEY", default="") %}
+{{ assert(condition=api_key != "", message="API_KEY is required") }}
+
+# Warn about debug mode
+{% set debug = get_env(name="DEBUG", default="false") %}
+{% if debug == "true" %}
+  {{ warn(message="DEBUG mode is enabled in " ~ env) }}
+{% endif %}
+
+# Debug configuration for troubleshooting
+{% set config = {
+  "environment": env,
+  "database": db_url,
+  "debug": debug
+} %}
+{{ inspect(value=config) }}
+
+# Type-safe port configuration
+{% set port = get_env(name="PORT", default="8080") %}
+{% if type_of(value=port) == "string" %}
+  {% set port = port | int %}
+{% endif %}
+{{ assert(condition=port > 0 and port < 65536, message="PORT must be valid") }}
+
+application:
+  environment: {{ env }}
+  port: {{ port }}
+  debug: {{ debug }}
+  database_url: {{ db_url }}
+  api_key: {{ api_key }}
+```
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- ✅ **Development**: Debug complex data structures with `debug()` and `inspect()`
+- ✅ **Validation**: Ensure configuration correctness with `assert()`
+- ✅ **Type Safety**: Check value types with `type_of()` before operations
+- ✅ **Graceful Degradation**: Use `warn()` for non-critical issues
+- ✅ **Fail Fast**: Use `abort()` for critical failures requiring immediate attention

-## 📝 Implementation Notes
-
-### Function Categories Priority
-1. **High Priority**: Network, Math, String manipulation (covers 80% of use cases)
-2. **Medium Priority**: Advanced filesystem, Date/time, Encoding
-3. **Low Priority**: Statistical, i18n, Debugging (nice-to-have)
-
-### Security Considerations
-- All filesystem operations must respect `--trust` mode
-- Path functions must validate against directory traversal
-- Shell escaping must be secure and tested
-- Encoding/decoding must handle errors gracefully
-
-### Testing Requirements
-- Each new function must have unit tests
-- Integration tests for security features
-- Example templates demonstrating usage
-- Documentation with use cases
-
-### Documentation Structure
-For each new function, document:
-- Purpose and use case
-- Parameters with types
-- Return value
-- Examples (minimum 2)
-- Security considerations (if applicable)
-- Related functions
-
----
-
-## 🔄 Ongoing Improvements

-### Performance Optimizations
-- [ ] Optimize glob operations for large directories (reduce syscalls)
-- [ ] Add benchmarks for all functions (identify bottlenecks)
-- [ ] Profile template rendering performance (measure overhead)
-- [ ] Lazy-load dependencies (faster startup time)
-- [ ] Parallel file operations for glob/list_dir (when safe)
-
-### Developer Experience
-- [ ] Better error messages with line numbers
-- [ ] Template validation mode (dry-run)
-- [ ] Auto-completion for functions in IDEs
-- [ ] Template debugging mode with step-through

+# Date and Time Functions Demonstration
+# ========================================
+
+{% set test_timestamp = 1704067200 %}
+{% set test_timestamp2 = 1704153600 %}
+
+## Date Formatting
+
+### format_date() - Format Unix timestamps
+
+Default format:
+{{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp) }}
+
+Custom formats:
+  ISO date:        {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+  US format:       {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%m/%d/%Y") }}
+  Full month:      {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%B %d, %Y") }}
+  With time:       {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") }}
+  12-hour format:  {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%I:%M %p") }}
+  Day of week:     {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%A, %B %d, %Y") }}
+
+## Date Parsing
+
+### parse_date() - Parse date strings to Unix timestamps
+
+{% set parsed = parse_date(string="2024-01-01 12:00:00", format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") %}
+Parsed timestamp: {{ parsed }}
+Verify: {{ format_date(timestamp=parsed) }}
+
+Parse US format:
+{% set us_date = parse_date(string="12/25/2024", format="%m/%d/%Y") %}
+  Input: 12/25/2024
+  Output: {{ format_date(timestamp=us_date, format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+
+## Date Arithmetic
+
+### date_add() - Add/subtract days
+
+Original: {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+  +7 days:  {{ format_date(timestamp=date_add(timestamp=test_timestamp, days=7), format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+  +30 days: {{ format_date(timestamp=date_add(timestamp=test_timestamp, days=30), format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+  -7 days:  {{ format_date(timestamp=date_add(timestamp=test_timestamp, days=-7), format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+  +365 days: {{ format_date(timestamp=date_add(timestamp=test_timestamp, days=365), format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+
+### date_diff() - Calculate difference in days
+
+Date 1: {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+Date 2: {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp2, format="%Y-%m-%d") }}
+Difference: {{ date_diff(timestamp1=test_timestamp2, timestamp2=test_timestamp) }} days
+
+## Date Component Extraction
+
+Timestamp: {{ test_timestamp }} ({{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp) }})
+
+  Year:   {{ get_year(timestamp=test_timestamp) }}
+  Month:  {{ get_month(timestamp=test_timestamp) }}
+  Day:    {{ get_day(timestamp=test_timestamp) }}
+  Hour:   {{ get_hour(timestamp=test_timestamp) }}
+  Minute: {{ get_minute(timestamp=test_timestamp) }}
+
+## Timezone Conversion
+
+### timezone_convert() - Convert between timezones
+
+UTC timestamp: {{ test_timestamp }}
+  UTC time:     {{ format_date(timestamp=test_timestamp, format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z") }}
+
+Note: timezone_convert returns the same Unix timestamp, but it's useful when
+formatting times in different timezones. Unix timestamps are timezone-independent.
+
+## Leap Year Check
+
+### is_leap_year() - Check if a year is a leap year
+
+{% set years = [2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2000, 1900, 2100] %}

+# Command Execution Examples
+# ==========================================
+# SECURITY WARNING: This template requires --trust mode
+# Run with: tmpltool --trust examples/exec-functions.tmpl
+
+## Two Functions Available
+
+# exec(command)      - Simple: returns stdout, throws error on failure
+# exec_raw(command)  - Advanced: returns object with exit_code, stdout, stderr
+
+## Simple exec() - For Common Cases
+
+### Basic usage - output goes directly to template
+Hostname: {{ exec(command="hostname") }}
+
+### Use in variable
+{% set git_hash = exec(command="git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo 'unknown'") %}
+Git commit: {{ git_hash | trim }}
+
+### Multiple simple commands
+System: {{ exec(command="uname -s") | trim }}
+Kernel: {{ exec(command="uname -r") | trim }}
+
+## Advanced exec_raw() - For Full Control
+
+### Check exit code and handle different cases
+{% set result = exec_raw(command="grep -q 'root' /etc/passwd") %}
+{% if result.exit_code == 0 %}
+✓ Root user found in /etc/passwd
+{% elif result.exit_code == 1 %}
+✗ Root user not found
+{% else %}
+⚠ Error checking /etc/passwd: {{ result.stderr }}
+{% endif %}
+
+### Handle commands that might fail
+{% set result = exec_raw(command="which docker") %}
+{% if result.success %}
+Docker installed at: {{ result.stdout | trim }}
+{% else %}
+Docker not found (exit {{ result.exit_code }})
+{% endif %}
+
+### Access stderr for debugging
+{% set result = exec_raw(command="ls /nonexistent_path 2>&1") %}
+Exit code: {{ result.exit_code }}
+Stdout: {{ result.stdout }}
+Stderr: {{ result.stderr }}
+Success: {{ result.success }}
+
+## Comparison: exec() vs exec_raw()
+
+### exec() - Throws error on failure
+{# This works fine #}
+CPU cores: {{ exec(command="nproc 2>/dev/null || echo '2'") | trim }}
+
+{# This would throw an error if the file doesn't exist #}
+{# Content: {{ exec(command="cat /etc/nonexistent") }} #}
+
+### exec_raw() - Never throws, you handle errors
+{% set result = exec_raw(command="cat /etc/hosts") %}
+{% if result.success %}
+Hosts file (first 100 chars):
+{{ result.stdout[:100] }}
+{% else %}
+Failed to read /etc/hosts (exit {{ result.exit_code }})
+{% endif %}
+
+## Real-World Use Cases
+
+### 1. Build Info with exec()
+```yaml
+build:
+  commit: {{ exec(command="git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo 'dev'") | trim }}
+  branch: {{ exec(command="git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo 'unknown'") | trim }}
+  date: {{ exec(command="date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") | trim }}
+  user: {{ exec(command="whoami") | trim }}
+```
+
+### 2. Conditional Configuration with exec_raw()
+{% set docker_check = exec_raw(command="which docker") %}
+{% set node_check = exec_raw(command="which node") %}
+
+services:
+  docker_enabled: {{ docker_check.success | lower }}
+  {% if docker_check.success %}
+  docker_path: {{ docker_check.stdout | trim }}
+  {% endif %}
+
+  node_enabled: {{ node_check.success | lower }}
+  {% if node_check.success %}
+  node_version: {{ exec(command="node --version") | trim }}
+  {% endif %}
+
+### 3. Dynamic Worker Count
+{% set cpu_count = exec(command="nproc 2>/dev/null || sysctl -n hw.ncpu 2>/dev/null || echo '2'") | trim | int %}
+
+workers:
+  count: {{ cpu_count * 2 }}
+  per_worker_connections: 1000
+  total_capacity: {{ cpu_count * 2 * 1000 }}
+
+### 4. SSL Certificate Check with exec_raw()
+{% set cert_check = exec_raw(command="openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in /etc/ssl/cert.pem 2>/dev/null") %}
+{% if cert_check.success %}
+ssl:
+  status: active
+  expires: {{ cert_check.stdout | trim }}
+{% else %}
+ssl:
+  status: unavailable
+  reason: {{ cert_check.stderr | trim if cert_check.stderr else "Certificate file not found" }}
+{% endif %}
+
+### 5. Version Detection
+{% set node = exec_raw(command="node --version 2>/dev/null") %}
+{% set python = exec_raw(command="python3 --version 2>/dev/null") %}
+{% set ruby = exec_raw(command="ruby --version 2>/dev/null") %}
+{% set go = exec_raw(command="go version 2>/dev/null") %}
+

+{% set result = exec_raw(command="ls -1 /etc/*.conf 2>/dev/null | head -n 5") %}
+{% if result.success %}
+Configuration files:
+{{ result.stdout }}
+{% endif %}
+
+### 7. Disk Space Warning
+{% set disk_result = exec_raw(command="df / | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $5}' | tr -d '%'") %}
+{% if disk_result.success %}
+{% set disk_usage = disk_result.stdout | trim | int %}

+  {% elif disk_usage > 75 %}
+  status: WARNING
+  action: monitor_closely
+  {% else %}
+  status: OK
+  {% endif %}
+{% endif %}
+
+### 8. Service Health Check
+{% set services = ["sshd", "nginx", "postgresql"] %}
+
+service_health:
+{% for service in services %}
+  {{ service }}:
+    {% set check = exec_raw(command="systemctl is-active " ~ service ~ " 2>/dev/null") %}

+    status: running
+    {% else %}
+    status: stopped
+    exit_code: {{ check.exit_code }}
+    {% endif %}
+{% endfor %}
+
+### 9. Network Interface Discovery
+{% set iface_result = exec_raw(command="ip -o link show | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d ':' | grep -v '^lo$' | head -n 1") %}
+{% if iface_result.success %}
+{% set primary_interface = iface_result.stdout | trim %}

+  {% if ip_result.success %}
+  ip_address: {{ ip_result.stdout | trim }}
+  {% endif %}
+{% endif %}
+
+### 10. Fallback Pattern with exec()
+{# exec() makes fallback chains easy #}
+{% set hostname = exec(command="hostname -f 2>/dev/null || hostname 2>/dev/null || echo 'localhost'") | trim %}
+{% set ip = exec(command="hostname -I 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $1}' || echo '127.0.0.1'") | trim %}
+
+server:
+  name: {{ hostname }}
+  address: {{ ip }}
+
+## Error Handling Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Simple with fallback in command
+Memory: {{ exec(command="free -h 2>/dev/null | grep Mem | awk '{print $2}' || echo 'unknown'") | trim }}
+
+### Pattern 2: Check result with exec_raw()
+{% set mem_result = exec_raw(command="free -h | grep Mem | awk '{print $2}'") %}
+Memory: {% if mem_result.success %}{{ mem_result.stdout | trim }}{% else %}unknown{% endif %}
+
+### Pattern 3: Try-catch style with exec_raw()
+{% set db_check = exec_raw(command="pg_isready -h localhost") %}
+{% if db_check.exit_code == 0 %}
+  database: ready
+{% elif db_check.exit_code == 1 %}
+  database: rejecting_connections
+{% elif db_check.exit_code == 2 %}
+  database: connection_failed
+{% else %}
+  database: unknown_error
+  details: {{ db_check.stderr }}
+{% endif %}
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+{# ✓ GOOD: Hardcoded, trusted commands #}
+Date: {{ exec(command="date") | trim }}
+Hostname: {{ exec(command="hostname") | trim }}
+
+{# ⚠️ WARNING: Be extremely careful with any form of user input
+   NEVER do this with untrusted input:
+   {% set user_input = get_env(name="USER_INPUT") %}
+   {{ exec(command="echo " ~ user_input) }}  ← COMMAND INJECTION!
+
+   Even with quotes, shell metacharacters can break out:
+   Input: foo; rm -rf /
+   Result: echo foo; rm -rf /  ← VERY BAD!
+
+   ✓ BETTER: If you must use variables, sanitize heavily or use exec_raw()
+   and check the result carefully #}
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+{# Commands are executed sequentially, each one blocks
+   Keep commands fast:
+   ✓ Good: date, hostname, uname
+   ⚠ Slow: ping with high count, long-running scripts
+   ✗ Bad: sleep 100, infinite loops #}
+
+## Timeout (documented but not yet enforced)
+
+{# The timeout parameter is accepted but not yet enforced in this version: #}
+{% set result = exec_raw(command="echo hello", timeout=5) %}
+Timeout test: {{ result.stdout | trim }}
+
+{# In a future version, this will kill the command after 5 seconds.
+   For now, use quick-running commands. #}

+# String Filters Demonstration
+# ===========================
+
+## Case Conversion Filters
+
+### to_snake_case
+Input: "HelloWorld"
+Output: {{ "HelloWorld" | to_snake_case }}
+
+Input: "hello-world"
+Output: {{ "hello-world" | to_snake_case }}
+
+### to_camel_case
+Input: "hello_world"
+Output: {{ "hello_world" | to_camel_case }}
+
+Input: "hello-world"
+Output: {{ "hello-world" | to_camel_case }}
+
+### to_pascal_case
+Input: "hello_world"
+Output: {{ "hello_world" | to_pascal_case }}
+
+Input: "hello-world"
+Output: {{ "hello-world" | to_pascal_case }}
+
+### to_kebab_case
+Input: "HelloWorld"
+Output: {{ "HelloWorld" | to_kebab_case }}
+
+Input: "hello_world"
+Output: {{ "hello_world" | to_kebab_case }}
+
+## Indentation Filters
+
+### indent (default 4 spaces)
+Input: "line1\nline2"
+Output:
+{{ "line1\nline2" | indent }}
+
+### indent (custom 2 spaces)
+Input: "host: localhost\nport: 8080"
+Output:
+{{ "host: localhost\nport: 8080" | indent(2) }}
+
+### dedent
+Input: "  line1\n  line2"
+Output:
+{{ "  line1\n  line2" | dedent }}
+
+## Quote Filters
+
+### quote (default double)
+Input: "hello world"
+Output: {{ "hello world" | quote }}
+
+### quote (single)
+Input: "hello world"
+Output: {{ "hello world" | quote("single") }}
+
+### quote (backtick)
+Input: "hello world"
+Output: {{ "hello world" | quote("backtick") }}
+
+### escape_quotes
+Input: It's a "test"
+Output: {{ "It's a \"test\"" | escape_quotes }}
+
+## Padding Filters
+
+### pad_left (default space)
+Input: "42"
+Output: {{ "42" | pad_left(5) }}|
+
+### pad_left (with zero)
+Input: "1"
+Output: {{ "1" | pad_left(4, "0") }}
+
+### pad_right (default space)
+Input: "42"
+Output: |{{ "42" | pad_right(5) }}|
+
+### pad_right (with dash)
+Input: "test"
+Output: {{ "test" | pad_right(10, "-") }}
+
+## Repeat Filter
+
+### repeat (3 times)
+Input: "ab"
+Output: {{ "ab" | repeat(3) }}
+
+### repeat (separator)
+Input: "="
+Output: {{ "=" | repeat(40) }}
+
+## Reverse Filter
+
+### reverse
+Input: "hello"
+Output: {{ "hello" | reverse }}
+
+Input: "12345"
+Output: {{ "12345" | reverse }}
+
+## Filter Chaining Examples
+
+### Example 1: Convert and reverse
+Input: "hello_world"
+Steps: to_pascal_case → reverse
+Output: {{ "hello_world" | to_pascal_case | reverse }}
+
+### Example 2: Repeat and quote
+Input: "test"
+Steps: repeat(3) → quote("single")
+Output: {{ "test" | repeat(3) | quote("single") }}
+
+### Example 3: Convert and pad
+Input: "api_key"
+Steps: to_camel_case → pad_right(15, "_")
+Output: {{ "api_key" | to_camel_case | pad_right(15, "_") }}
+
+## Real-World Use Cases
+
+### 1. Generating Code Identifiers
+{% set field_name = "user_email_address" %}
+Database column: {{ field_name }}
+Python variable: {{ field_name }}
+JavaScript variable: {{ field_name | to_camel_case }}
+Class name: {{ field_name | to_pascal_case }}
+CSS class: {{ field_name | to_kebab_case }}
+
+### 2. YAML Configuration Indentation
+server:
+{{ "host: localhost" | indent(2) }}
+{{ "port: 8080" | indent(2) }}
+database:
+{{ "host: postgres" | indent(2) }}
+{{ "port: 5432" | indent(2) }}
+
+### 3. Padding for Alignment
+{% set items = ["1", "42", "999"] %}
+Item IDs:
+{% for item in items %}
+  ID: {{ item | pad_left(5, "0") }}
+{% endfor %}
+
+### 4. Creating Separators
+{{ "=" | repeat(50) }}
+SECTION HEADER
+{{ "=" | repeat(50) }}
+
+{{ "-" | repeat(50) }}
+SUBSECTION
+{{ "-" | repeat(50) }}

+//! This is a powerful but potentially dangerous feature, so it requires trust mode.

+//! - `exec(command)` - Simple execution, returns stdout, throws on error
+//! - `exec_raw(command)` - Full control, returns object with exit code, stdout, stderr

+```
+
+## Purpose
+
+While unit tests (`cargo test`) validate the code logic, these integration tests ensure that:
+- The binary builds correctly across platforms
+- The binary executes without errors
+- All features work as expected in the compiled artifact
+- CLI arguments and options function properly
+- Real-world usage scenarios work end-to-end
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Locally
+
+```bash
+# Build the release binary first
+cargo build --release
+
+# Run all tests with the release binary
+bash tests/integration/test_binary.sh
+
+# Or specify a custom binary path
+bash tests/integration/test_binary.sh /path/to/tmpltool
+
+# Run a specific test file
+source tests/integration/common.sh
+export BINARY=./target/release/tmpltool
+export TEST_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
+bash tests/integration/tests/01_binary_execution.sh
+```
+
+### In CI/CD
+
+The tests run automatically in GitHub Actions for every PR and push:
+- Builds binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows
+- Runs 28 integration tests on each platform
+- Uploads binaries as artifacts (available for 7 days)
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+The integration test suite (`test_binary.sh`) includes 28 tests covering:
+
+### Core Functionality
+1. Binary execution and version info
+2. Help output
+3. Simple template rendering
+4. Environment variable substitution
+5. Default values for missing env vars
+6. Conditional logic
+7. Loop iteration
+
+### Functions
+8. Hash functions (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512)
+9. UUID generation (format validation)
+10. Timestamp functions (ISO8601 format)
+11. Random number generation
+12. Object manipulation (object_keys, object_values, etc.)
+13. JSON serialization (to_json)
+14. Filesystem functions (read_file)
+15. JSON parsing (parse_json)
+
+### Features
+16. Output to file (`-o` flag)
+17. Stdin input
+18. Filters (upper, lower, etc.)
+19. Multiple environment variables
+20. Validation option (`--validate json/yaml/toml`)
+
+### Error Handling
+21. Invalid template syntax
+22. Missing template files
+23. Invalid JSON validation
+
+### Real-World Scenarios
+24. Complex configuration templates with conditionals and env vars
+
+## Test Structure
+
+Each test follows this pattern:
+
+```bash
+# Create test template
+cat > "$TEST_DIR/test.tmpl" << 'EOF'
+{{ template content }}
+EOF
+
+# Run binary and capture output
+OUTPUT=$("$BINARY" "$TEST_DIR/test.tmpl" 2>&1)
+
+# Assert expected result
+assert_equals "expected" "$OUTPUT" "test description"
+```
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+To add a new integration test:
+
+1. Create a new file in `tests/integration/tests/` with a descriptive name (use number prefix for ordering):
+   ```bash
+   # Example: tests/integration/tests/15_my_new_feature.sh
+   #!/usr/bin/env bash
+   # Test: My new feature description
+
+   echo "Test: My new feature"
+
+   # Test 1: Description
+   create_template "mytest.tmpl" 'Template content here'
+   OUTPUT=$(run_binary "mytest.tmpl")
+   assert_equals "expected output" "$OUTPUT" "Test passes when..."
+   ```
+
+2. Make it executable:
+   ```bash
+   chmod +x tests/integration/tests/15_my_new_feature.sh
+   ```
+
+3. Test locally:
+   ```bash
+   bash tests/integration/test_binary.sh
+   ```
+
+4. CI will automatically discover and run the new test
+
+## Helper Functions (from common.sh)
+
+### Assertion Functions
+
+- `assert_equals expected actual description` - Check exact match
+- `assert_contains haystack needle description` - Check substring
+- `assert_matches text pattern description` - Check regex pattern match
+- `assert_exit_code expected actual description` - Check exit code
+- `assert_file_exists file description` - Check file exists
+- `assert_in_range value min max description` - Check value in range
+- `pass description` - Mark test as passed
+- `fail description details` - Mark test as failed
+
+### Template Helper Functions
+
+- `create_template filename content` - Create a template file in TEST_DIR
+- `run_binary template [args...]` - Run binary with template from TEST_DIR
+- `run_binary_in_dir dir template [args...]` - Run binary from specific directory
+- `run_binary_stdin input [args...]` - Run binary with stdin input
+- `run_binary_exit_code template [args...]` - Run binary and return exit code
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+All test files have access to:
+- `$BINARY` - Path to the binary being tested
+- `$TEST_DIR` - Temporary directory for test files
+- `$TESTS_RUN` - Number of tests executed
+- `$TESTS_PASSED` - Number of tests passed
+- `$TESTS_FAILED` - Number of tests failed
+
+## Platform Differences
+
+The tests are designed to work cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows):
+
+- Use `bash` for Windows compatibility (Git Bash or WSL)
+- Avoid platform-specific commands
+- Use portable patterns for temp files (`mktemp -d`)
+- Handle path separators appropriately
+
+## Debugging Failed Tests
+
+If a test fails:
+
+1. Run the test locally with the same binary:
+   ```bash
+   bash tests/integration/test_binary.sh
+   ```
+
+2. Run with debug output:
+   ```bash
+   bash -x tests/integration/test_binary.sh 2>&1 | grep "FAIL" -A 5
+   ```
+
+3. Test individual commands manually:
+   ```bash
+   ./target/release/tmpltool examples/greeting.tmpl
+   ```
+
+4. Check the test's expected vs actual output in the failure message
+
+## CI Artifacts
+
+GitHub Actions uploads the built binaries as artifacts:
+- Retention: 7 days
+- Available for download from the Actions run
+- Useful for testing PR changes manually
+- Platform-specific naming: `tmpltool-linux-x86_64`, `tmpltool-macos`, `tmpltool-windows.exe`
+
+## Test Philosophy
+
+These integration tests complement unit tests by:
+
+- **Unit tests**: Test individual functions and code paths
+- **Integration tests**: Test the complete user experience with the actual binary
+
+Both are necessary for comprehensive quality assurance.
