# Workflow

* branch (from `main`)
* do the work in Next Step
* move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps
* move the top item of Future Steps into Next Step
* commit (`TODO.md` changes in the same commit as the work)
* merge to `main` if the branch is not protected, otherwise open a PR
* push

# Status

1.0+

Tagged v1.0.0 (2024-06-14) and 1.0.1 (2026-02-08). In post-1.0
maintenance; the library is referenced by the Go styleguide.

# Next Step

Bring the Makefile up to policy in one commit: add fmt-check, check, and
hooks targets (test/lint/fmt/docker exist) and add the missing policy
files it depends on: .golangci.yml, REPO_POLICIES.md, .editorconfig,
.dockerignore, and .gitea/workflows/check.yml running make check.

# Completed Steps

* 2026-02-08: fixed JSONHandler deadlock from recursive log.Println,
    with regression test; tagged 1.0.1
* 2024-06-14: 1.0 prep: lint and fmt enforced in Docker build, call
    stack depth fix so log locations report correctly, example script,
    removed non-building RELP code; tagged v1.0.0
* 2024-05-22: module path moved to sneak.berlin/go/simplelog
* 2024-05-14: initial library: slog-based console, JSON, webhook, and
    RELP handlers, MultiplexHandler, caller file/line info, UTC ISO
    timestamps, level-colored output

# Future Steps

* Rewrite the Dockerfile to run make check with sha256-pinned base
    images (currently golangci/golangci-lint:latest and golang:1.22,
    unpinned, duplicating Makefile logic instead of calling it)
* Restructure README.md into the standard sections: Description,
    Getting Started, Rationale, Design, TODO, License, Author
* Delete the old plain TODO file once this TODO.md lands
* Add .aider.* to .gitignore and remove the stray aider artifacts from
    the working tree
* Pick one tag scheme before the next release (v1.0.0 vs 1.0.1 are
    inconsistent)
* Fix RELP output to cache (from old TODO)
* Re-add RELP delivery over TCP to remote rsyslog imrelp; removed
    2024-06-14 because it did not build (README planned feature)
* Add regex filtering for webhook logs (from old TODO)
* Better console output format (from old TODO)
