-Overview
+# Overview
---------
-
 This project is a very simple gemini server which only serves static files,
 nothing else. It is meant to be generic so other people can use it.
 
-Setup
+# Build/Test/Lint Commands
-=====
 
-This is a modern Rust project with the default rust setup.
+## Core Commands
+- `cargo build` - Build the project
+- `cargo build --release` - Build optimized release version
+- `cargo run` - Run the server with default config
+- `cargo test` - Run all unit tests
+- `cargo test <test_name>` - Run a specific test
+- `cargo test <module>::tests` - Run tests in a specific module
+- `cargo clippy` - Run linter checks for code quality
+- `cargo clippy --fix` - Automatically fix clippy suggestions
+- `cargo clippy --bin <name>` - Check specific binary
+- `cargo fmt` - Format code according to Rust standards
+- `cargo check` - Quick compile check without building
 
-Security
+## Common Test Patterns
-========
+- `cargo test config::tests` - Run config module tests
+- `cargo test request::tests` - Run request handling tests
+- `cargo test -- --nocapture` - Show println output in tests
 
-In this project cyber security is very important because we are implementing
+# Code Style Guidelines
-a server which reads arbitrary data from other computers and we need to make
-sure that bad actors can't break it and read random things from outside
-the directory, or even worse write things.
 
-Testing
+## Imports
-=======
+- Group imports: std libs first, then external crates, then local modules
-We have UnitTests which should be kept up to date before committing any new code. 
+- Use `use crate::module::function` for internal imports
+- Prefer specific imports over `use std::prelude::*`
+- Keep imports at module level, not inside functions
 
-Fix every compiler warning before committing.
+## Code Structure
+- Use `#[tokio::main]` for async main function
+- Keep functions small and focused (single responsibility)
+- Use `const` for configuration values that don't change
+- Error handling with `Result<T, E>` and `?` operator
+- Use `tracing` for logging, not `println!` in production code
 
-### Certificate Management
+## Naming Conventions
+- `PascalCase` for types, structs, enums
+- `snake_case` for functions, variables, modules
+- `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` for constants
+- Use descriptive names that indicate purpose
 
-Development
+## Error Handling
-- Generate self-signed certificates for local testing
+- Use `io::Result<()>` for I/O operations
-- Store in `certs/` directory (gitignored)
+- Convert errors to appropriate types with `map_err` when needed
+- Use `unwrap()` only in tests and main() for unrecoverable errors
+- Use `expect()` with meaningful messages for debugging
+- Return early with `Err()` for validation failures
+
+## Security Requirements
+- **Critical**: Always validate file paths with `path_security::validate_path`
+- Never construct paths from user input without validation
+- Use timeouts for network operations (`tokio::time::timeout`)
+- Limit request sizes (see `MAX_REQUEST_SIZE` constant)
+- Validate TLS certificates properly
+- Never expose directory listings
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+- Use `tempfile::TempDir` for temporary directories in tests
+- Test both success and error paths
+- Use `#[cfg(test)]` for test modules
+- Create temporary test files in `tmp/` directory
+- Test security boundaries (path traversal, invalid inputs)
+- Use `assert_eq!` and `assert!` for validations
+
+## Lint Checking
+- `cargo clippy` - Run linter checks for code quality
+- `cargo clippy --fix` - Automatically fix clippy suggestions
+- `cargo clippy --bin <name>` - Check specific binary
+- `cargo fmt` - Format code to match Rust standards
+- **Run clippy before every commit** - Address all warnings before pushing code
+- Current clippy warnings (2025-01-15):
+  - src/server.rs:16-17 - Unnecessary borrows on file_path
+  - src/logging.rs:31 - Match could be simplified to let statement
+
+## Testing
+- Run `cargo test` before every commit to prevent regressions
+- Pre-commit hook automatically runs full test suite
+- Rate limiting integration test uses separate port for isolation
+- All tests must pass before commits are allowed
+- Test suite includes: unit tests, config validation, rate limiting under load
+
+## Async Patterns
+- Use `.await` on async calls
+- Prefer `tokio::fs` over `std::fs` in async contexts
+- Handle timeouts for network operations
+- Use `Arc<Clone>` for shared data across tasks
+
+## Gemini Protocol Specific
+- Response format: "STATUS META\r\n"
+- Status 20: Success (follow with MIME type)
+- Status 41: Server unavailable (timeout, overload)
+- Status 51: Not found (resource doesn't exist)
+- Status 59: Bad request (malformed URL, protocol violation)
+- Default MIME: "text/gemini" for .gmi files
+- Default file: "index.gmi" for directory requests
+
+## Error Handling
+- **Concurrent request limit exceeded**: Return status 41 "Server unavailable"
+- **Timeout**: Return status 41 "Server unavailable" (not 59)
+- **Request too large**: Return status 59 "Bad request"
+- **Empty request**: Return status 59 "Bad request"
+- **Invalid URL format**: Return status 59 "Bad request"
+- **Hostname mismatch**: Return status 59 "Bad request"
+- **Path resolution failure**: Return status 51 "Not found" (including security violations)
+- **File not found**: Return status 51 "Not found"
+- Reject requests > 1024 bytes (per Gemini spec)
+- Reject requests without proper `\r\n` termination
+- Use `tokio::time::timeout()` for request timeout handling
+- Configurable concurrent request limit: `max_concurrent_requests` (default: 1000)
+
+## Configuration
+- TOML config files with `serde::Deserialize`
+- CLI args override config file values
+- Required fields: root, cert, key, host
+- Optional: port, log_level, max_concurrent_requests
+
+# Development Notes
+- Generate self-signed certificates for local testing in `tmp/` directory
 - Use CN=localhost for development
+- Fix every compiler warning before committing any code
+- Create temporary files in the tmp/ directory for your tests like .gem files
+  or images, etc., so they are gitignored
+- Use `path-security` crate for path validation
+- Default port: 1965 (standard Gemini port)
+- Default host: 0.0.0.0 for listening
+- Log level defaults to "info"
 
-Production
+## Environment Setup
-- Use Let's Encrypt or CA-signed certificates
+- Install clippy: `rustup component add clippy`
-- Store certificates outside repository
+- Ensure `~/.cargo/bin` is in PATH (add `source "$HOME/.cargo/env"` to `~/.bashrc`)
-- Set appropriate file permissions (600 for keys, 644 for certs)
+- Verify setup: `cargo clippy --version`
-- Implement certificate renewal monitoring
-- Never include private keys in documentation or commits
-
-Deployment Security
-- Certificate files should be owned by service user
-- Use systemd service file with proper User/Group directives
-- Consider using systemd's `LoadCredential` for certificate paths

-# Pollux Gemini Server - Logging Implementation Complete
-
-## Summary
-Successfully implemented Apache/Nginx-style logging for the Pollux Gemini server with the following features:
-
-### ✅ Implemented Features
-
-1. **Plain Text Log Format** - As requested, compatible with standard log analysis tools
-2. **Consistent Field Order** - `<IP> "<URL>" <status> ["<message>"]` for both success and error logs
-3. **stdout/stderr Output** - Ready for systemd integration
-4. **Client IP Extraction** - Extracts IP from TLS connections
-5. **Gemini Status Codes** - Logs actual Gemini protocol status codes (20, 51, 59, etc.)
-6. **Error Messages** - Detailed error descriptions for troubleshooting
-
-### 📋 Log Format
-
-**Access Logs (stdout):**
-```
-127.0.0.1 "gemini://jeena.net/" 20
-192.168.1.100 "gemini://jeena.net/posts/vibe-coding.gmi" 20
-```
-
-**Error Logs (stderr):**
-```
-192.168.1.100 "gemini://jeena.net/posts/nonexistent.gmi" 51 "File not found"
-192.168.1.100 "gemini://jeena.net/../etc/passwd" 59 "Path traversal attempt"
-```
-
-### 🖥️ systemd Integration
-
-When run as a systemd service:
-- **Access logs**: `journalctl -u pollux` 
-- **Error logs**: `journalctl -u pollux -p err`
-- **Timestamps**: Automatically added by systemd
-- **Rotation**: Handled by journald configuration
-- **Filtering**: Standard journalctl filtering works
-
-### 📁 Files Modified
-
-- `src/logging.rs` - New logging module with RequestLogger
-- `src/server.rs` - Integrated logging into connection handling
-- `src/main.rs` - Added log level configuration
-- `src/config.rs` - Added log_level config option
-- `Cargo.toml` - Added tracing dependencies
-
-### ⚙️ Configuration
-
-```toml
-log_level = "info"  # debug, info, warn, error
-```
-
-### 🧪 Gemini Protocol Considerations
-
-- **No User-Agent**: Gemini protocol doesn't have HTTP-style User-Agent headers
-- **No Referer**: Not part of Gemini specification (privacy-focused design)
-- **Client IP**: Extracted from TLS connection (best available)
-- **Status Codes**: Uses actual Gemini protocol codes
-
-### ✅ Testing
-
-- All 14 tests pass
-- Server compiles cleanly (no warnings)
-- Logging verified to produce correct format
-- Compatible with systemd journalctl
-
-### 🚀 Ready for Production
-
-The server now has production-grade logging that:
-- Works with existing log analysis tools (grep, awk, logrotate)
-- Integrates seamlessly with systemd
-- Provides essential debugging information
-- Follows Apache/Nginx conventions
-- Supports the Gemini protocol appropriately
-
-### Usage Examples
-
-```bash
-# View live logs
-journalctl -u pollux -f
-
-# Filter access logs  
-journalctl -u pollux | grep -v "ERROR"
-
-# Filter error logs
-journalctl -u pollux -p err
-
-# Time range filtering
-journalctl -u pollux --since "1 hour ago"
-```
-
-Implementation complete and ready for deployment!

-## Certificate Setup
+## Development Setup
-
-### Development
-Generate self-signed certificates for local testing:
 
+### Quick Start with Self-Signed Certs
 ```bash
-mkdir -p certs
+mkdir -p tmp
-openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout certs/key.pem -out certs/cert.pem -days 365 -nodes -subj "/CN=localhost"

+  -keyout tmp/key.pem \
+  -out tmp/cert.pem \
+  -days 365 \
+  -nodes \
+  -subj "/CN=localhost"
 ```
 
 Update `config.toml`:
 ```toml
-cert = "certs/cert.pem"
+cert = "tmp/cert.pem"
-key = "certs/key.pem"
+key = "tmp/key.pem"
 ```
 
-### Production
-Use Let's Encrypt for production:
-
-```bash
-sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d yourdomain.com
-```
-
-Then update config.toml paths to your certificate locations.
-
 Run the server:
 
 ```bash
 ./pollux --config /path/to/config.toml
 ```
 
-Or specify options directly (overrides config):
-
-```bash
-./pollux --root /path/to/static/files --cert cert.pem --key key.pem --host yourdomain.com --port 1965
-```
-
 Access with a Gemini client like Lagrange at `gemini://yourdomain.com/`.
 
+### Development Notes
+
+- These certificates are for local testing only
+- Browsers will show security warnings with self-signed certs
+- Certificates in the `dev/` directory are gitignored for security
+
 ## Options
 
-- `--config`: Path to config file (default `/etc/pollux/config.toml`)
+- `--config` (`-C`): Path to config file (default `/etc/pollux/config.toml`)
-- `--root`: Directory to serve files from (required)
+- `--test-processing-delay` (debug builds only): Add delay before processing requests (seconds) - for testing rate limiting
-- `--cert`: Path to certificate file (required)
-- `--key`: Path to private key file (required)
-- `--host`: Hostname for validation (required)
-- `--port`: Port to listen on (default 1965)
-
-## Security
-
-Uses path validation to prevent directory traversal. Validate hostnames for production use.
 
 ### Certificate Management
+
 - Never commit certificate files to version control
 - Use development certificates only for local testing
 - Production certificates should be obtained via Let's Encrypt or your CA
 
 ## Testing
 
-Run `cargo test` for unit tests. Fix warnings before commits.
+Run `cargo test` for the full test suite, which includes integration tests that require Python 3.
+
+**Note**: Integration tests use Python 3 for Gemini protocol validation. If Python 3 is not available, integration tests will be skipped automatically.

+# Installing Pollux Gemini Server
+
+This guide covers installing and configuring the Pollux Gemini server for production use.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Linux system with systemd
+- Rust toolchain (for building from source)
+- Domain name with DNS configured
+- Let's Encrypt account (for certificates)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build and install
+cargo build --release
+sudo cp target/release/pollux /usr/local/bin/
+
+# 2. Get certificates
+sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d example.com
+
+# 3. Create directories and user
+sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false pollux
+sudo usermod -a -G ssl-cert pollux
+sudo mkdir -p /etc/pollux /var/www/example.com
+sudo chown -R pollux:pollux /var/www/example.com
+
+# 4. Install config
+sudo cp dist/config.toml /etc/pollux/
+
+# 5. Add your Gemini content
+sudo cp -r your-content/* /var/www/example.com/
+
+# 6. Install and start service
+sudo cp dist/pollux.service /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable pollux
+sudo systemctl start pollux
+
+# 7. Check status
+sudo systemctl status pollux
+sudo journalctl -u pollux -f
+```
+
+## Detailed Installation
+
+### Building from Source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/pollux.git
+cd pollux
+cargo build --release
+sudo cp target/release/pollux /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+### Certificate Setup
+
+#### Certificate Setup
+
+**For Production:** Obtain certificates from your preferred Certificate Authority and place them in `/etc/pollux/`. Ensure they are readable by the pollux user.
+
+**For Development/Testing:** Generate self-signed certificates (see Quick Start section).
+
+**Note:** Let's Encrypt certificates can be used but their installation and permission setup is beyond the scope of this documentation.
+
+```bash
+# Generate certificates
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 \
+  -keyout /etc/pollux/key.pem \
+  -out /etc/pollux/cert.pem \
+  -days 365 -nodes \
+  -subj "/CN=example.com"
+
+# Set permissions
+sudo chown pollux:pollux /etc/pollux/*.pem
+sudo chmod 644 /etc/pollux/cert.pem
+sudo chmod 600 /etc/pollux/key.pem
+```
+
+### User and Directory Setup
+
+```bash
+# Create service user
+sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false pollux
+
+# Add to certificate group (varies by distro)
+sudo usermod -a -G ssl-cert pollux    # Ubuntu/Debian
+# OR
+sudo usermod -a -G certbot pollux     # Some systems
+
+# Create directories
+sudo mkdir -p /etc/pollux /var/www/example.com
+sudo chown -R pollux:pollux /var/www/example.com
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Edit `/etc/pollux/config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+root = "/var/www/example.com"
+cert = "/etc/pollux/cert.pem"
+key = "/etc/pollux/key.pem"
+bind_host = "0.0.0.0"
+hostname = "example.com"
+port = 1965
+max_concurrent_requests = 1000
+log_level = "info"
+```
+
+### Content Setup
+
+```bash
+# Copy your Gemini files
+sudo cp -r gemini-content/* /var/www/example.com/
+
+# Set permissions
+sudo chown -R pollux:pollux /var/www/example.com
+sudo find /var/www/example.com -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
+sudo find /var/www/example.com -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
+```
+
+### Service Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install service file
+sudo cp dist/pollux.service /etc/systemd/system/
+
+# If your paths differ, edit the service file
+sudo editor /etc/systemd/system/pollux.service
+# Update ReadOnlyPaths to match your config
+
+# Enable and start
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable pollux
+sudo systemctl start pollux
+```
+
+### Verification
+
+```bash
+# Check service status
+sudo systemctl status pollux
+
+# View logs
+sudo journalctl -u pollux -f
+
+# Test connection
+openssl s_client -connect example.com:1965 -servername example.com <<< "gemini://example.com/\r\n" | head -1
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Permission Issues
+```bash
+# Check certificate access
+sudo -u pollux cat /etc/pollux/cert.pem
+
+# Check content access
+sudo -u pollux ls -la /var/www/example.com/
+```
+
+### Port Issues
+```bash
+# Check if port is in use
+sudo netstat -tlnp | grep :1965
+
+# Test binding
+sudo -u pollux /usr/local/bin/pollux  # Should show startup messages
+```
+
+### Certificate Issues
+```bash
+# Renew certificates
+sudo certbot renew
+
+# Reload service after cert renewal
+sudo systemctl reload pollux
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+See `config.toml` for all available options. Key settings:
+
+- `root`: Directory containing your .gmi files
+- `cert`/`key`: TLS certificate paths
+- `bind_host`: IP/interface to bind to
+- `hostname`: Domain name for URI validation
+- `port`: Listen port (1965 is standard)
+- `max_concurrent_requests`: Connection limit
+- `log_level`: Logging verbosity
+
+## Certificate Management
+
+The server uses standard systemd restart for certificate updates. Restart time is less than 1 second.
+
+### Let's Encrypt Integration
+
+For automatic certificate renewal with certbot:
+
+```bash
+# Create post-renewal hook
+sudo tee /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/post/restart-pollux.sh > /dev/null << 'EOF'
+#!/bin/bash
+# Restart Pollux after Let's Encrypt certificate renewal
+
+systemctl restart pollux
+logger -t certbot-pollux-restart "Restarted pollux after certificate renewal"
+EOF
+
+# Make it executable
+sudo chmod +x /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/post/restart-pollux.sh
+
+# Test the hook
+sudo /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/post/restart-pollux.sh
+```
+
+### Manual Certificate Update
+
+```bash
+# Restart server to load new certificates
+sudo systemctl restart pollux
+
+# Check restart in logs
+sudo journalctl -u pollux -f
+```
+
+## Upgrading
+
+```bash
+# Stop service
+sudo systemctl stop pollux
+
+# Install new binary
+sudo cp target/release/pollux /usr/local/bin/
+
+# Start service
+sudo systemctl start pollux
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Certificates are read-only by the service user
+- Content directory is read-only
+- No temporary file access
+- Systemd security hardening applied
+- Private keys have restricted permissions
+- URI validation prevents domain confusion attacks
