# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Build & Test Commands
This project uses the Core CLI (`core` binary), not `go` directly.
```bash
core go test # run all tests
core go test --run TestConfig_Get_Good # run a single test
core go cov # test with coverage
core go cov --open # coverage + open HTML report
core go qa # format, vet, lint, test
core go qa full # adds race detector, vuln scan, security audit
core go fmt # format
core go vet # vet
core go lint # lint
```
This is a library package — there is no binary to build or run.
## Architecture
**Dual-Viper pattern**: `Config` holds two `*viper.Viper` instances:
- `v` (full) — file + env + defaults; used for all reads (`Get`, `All`)
- `f` (file-only) — file + explicit `Set()` calls; used for persistence (`Commit`)
This prevents environment variables from leaking into saved config files. When implementing new features, maintain this invariant: writes go to both `v` and `f`; reads come from `v`; persistence comes from `f`.
**Resolution priority** (ascending): defaults → file → env vars (`CORE_CONFIG_*`) → `Set()`
**Service wrapper**: `Service` in `service.go` wraps `Config` with framework lifecycle (`core.Startable`). Both `Config` and `Service` satisfy `core.Config`, enforced by compile-time assertions.
**Storage abstraction**: All file I/O goes through `coreio.Medium` (from `go-io`). Tests use `coreio.NewMockMedium()` with an in-memory `Files` map — never touch the real filesystem.
## Conventions
- **UK English** in comments and documentation (colour, organisation, centre)
- **Error wrapping**: `coreerr.E(caller, message, underlying)` from `go-log`
- **Test naming**: `_Good` (happy path), `_Bad` (expected errors), `_Ugly` (panics/edge cases)
- **Functional options**: `New()` takes `...Option` (e.g. `WithMedium`, `WithPath`, `WithEnvPrefix`)
- **Conventional commits**: `type(scope): description`
- **Go workspace**: module is part of `~/Code/go.work`
## Dependencies

- `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-log``coreerr.E()` error helper
- `forge.lthn.ai/core/go/pkg/core``core.Config`, `core.Startable`, `core.ServiceRuntime` interfaces
- `github.com/spf13/viper` — configuration engine
- `github.com/stretchr/testify` — test assertions
