Subject: [PATCH 01/10] feat: Overhaul CLI, add extensive testing, and improve
 safety
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit introduces a major refactor of the `dontrm` CLI, adding comprehensive unit and E2E tests to ensure correctness and safety.

Key changes:
- Refactored `main.go` to be more modular and testable.
- Added a full unit test suite in `main_test.go` with Docker-based safety checks.
- Introduced E2E tests (`e2e_test.sh`) to validate the compiled binary in real-world scenarios.
- Created extensive documentation (README, TESTING.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md).
- Added CI/CD workflows for automated testing and releases.
- Implemented a `justfile` for streamlined development tasks.

The new test suites cover dangerous path detection, glob expansion, CLI arguments, and multi-shell compatibility, significantly improving the project's reliability.

+# Contributing to dontrm
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to dontrm! This project implements a safe wrapper around the `rm` command to prevent catastrophic system deletions.
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+Be respectful, constructive, and professional in all interactions.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.25 or later
+- Docker (required for testing)
+- `just` command runner (recommended) - Install: `cargo install just` or see [justfile.systems](https://github.com/casey/just)
+- golangci-lint - Install: `curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s`
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/Fuabioo/dontrm.git
+cd dontrm
+
+# Install dependencies
+go mod download
+
+# Verify setup by running tests (in Docker)
+just test
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Making Changes
+
+1. **Fork and clone** the repository
+2. **Create a branch** for your changes:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+   ```
+3. **Make your changes** following our coding standards
+4. **Write tests** for new functionality (both unit and E2E if applicable)
+5. **Run unit tests** to ensure logic correctness:
+   ```bash
+   just test
+   ```
+6. **Run E2E tests** to validate real-world behavior:
+   ```bash
+   just e2e
+   ```
+   Or run all tests at once:
+   ```bash
+   just test-all
+   ```
+7. **Check coverage** meets 85% threshold:
+   ```bash
+   just coverage
+   ```
+8. **Lint your code**:
+   ```bash
+   just lint
+   ```
+9. **Commit your changes** with a clear commit message
+10. **Push to your fork** and create a Pull Request
+
+### Commit Messages
+
+Write clear, descriptive commit messages:
+
+```
+Add protection for /opt/* wildcard patterns
+
+- Extend system path detection to include /opt
+- Add test cases for /opt directory operations
+- Update documentation with new protection details
+```
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+**CRITICAL**: This project has strict testing requirements for safety reasons.
+
+### Test Safety
+
+- **NEVER** run `go test` directly on your host machine
+- **ALWAYS** use `just test` which runs tests in Docker
+- Tests will panic if run outside Docker (by design)
+- See [TESTING.md](TESTING.md) for detailed testing guide
+
+### Coverage Requirements
+
+- All code must maintain **85% test coverage** minimum (accounts for untestable main() wrapper)
+- Run `just coverage` to check current coverage
+- CI will fail if coverage drops below 85%
+- Focus on testing edge cases and error paths
+
+### Writing Tests
+
+#### Unit Tests (main_test.go)
+
+```go
+func TestYourFunction(t *testing.T) {
+    // Tests automatically check for Docker environment via TestMain
+    // Focus on logic validation, not actual file operations
+
+    tests := []struct {
+        name     string
+        input    string
+        expected string
+    }{
+        {"test case 1", "input1", "expected1"},
+        {"test case 2", "input2", "expected2"},
+    }
+
+    for _, tt := range tests {
+        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
+            result := yourFunction(tt.input)
+            if result != tt.expected {
+                t.Errorf("got %q, want %q", result, tt.expected)
+            }
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### E2E Tests (e2e_test.sh)
+
+Add new test functions to `e2e_test.sh` for testing real binary behavior:
+
+```bash
+test_your_feature() {
+    test_header "Your Feature Name"
+
+    cleanup_test
+
+    # Create test file
+    local test_file="/tmp/dontrm-e2e-test-yourfeature.txt"
+    create_test_file "$test_file"
+
+    # Test your feature
+    output=$(dontrm --your-flag "$test_file" 2>&1)
+    exit_code=$?
+
+    if [ $exit_code -eq 0 ]; then
+        pass "Your feature works"
+    else
+        fail "Your feature failed" "Exit code: $exit_code"
+    fi
+
+    cleanup_test
+}
+```
+
+Then add `test_your_feature` to the `main()` function.
+
+**E2E Test Guidelines:**
+- Always use `/tmp/dontrm-e2e-test-*` for file operations
+- Use `pass()` and `fail()` helpers for consistent output
+- Call `cleanup_test` at start and end of your test
+- Test actual binary behavior, not Go functions
+- Test cross-shell compatibility if relevant (bash/zsh/fish)
+
+## Code Style
+
+### Go Standards
+
+- Follow standard Go formatting: `gofmt`
+- Use `goimports` for import organization
+- Follow Go naming conventions
+- Document exported functions and types
+
+### Linting
+
+All code must pass golangci-lint:
+
+```bash
+just lint
+```
+
+Common issues to avoid:
+- Unchecked errors
+- Unused variables
+- Inefficient assignments
+- Missing documentation on exported symbols
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+This project deals with dangerous file operations. When contributing:
+
+1. **Never bypass safety checks** - All system path protections must remain intact
+2. **Test dangerous patterns thoroughly** - Add tests for any new protection logic
+3. **Document security implications** - Explain why protection is needed
+4. **Use DRY_RUN for manual testing** - Always test with `DRY_RUN=1` first
+
+## Pull Request Process
+
+1. **Ensure all checks pass**:
+   - Tests pass in Docker (unit + E2E)
+   - Coverage meets 85%
+   - Linting passes
+   - Build succeeds
+
+2. **Update documentation** if needed:
+   - Update README.md for user-facing changes
+   - Update TESTING.md for test changes
+   - Add comments for complex logic
+
+3. **Describe your changes**:
+   - What problem does this solve?
+   - How does it work?
+   - Are there breaking changes?
+   - Have you tested it thoroughly?
+
+4. **Request review** and address feedback
+
+5. **Squash commits** if requested before merge

+
+**A safe wrapper around `rm` that prevents catastrophic system deletions.**
+
+Tired of fearing every `rm -rf` command? `dontrm` is a drop-in replacement for `rm` that blocks dangerous operations like `rm -rf /` or `rm -rf /etc/*` while allowing normal file deletions to proceed safely.
+
+## What It Protects
+
+### ✅ Blocks These Dangerous Operations
+
+- **Top-level system directories**: `/`, `/bin`, `/boot`, `/dev`, `/etc`, `/lib`, `/lib64`, `/opt`, `/proc`, `/root`, `/run`, `/sbin`, `/srv`, `/sys`, `/usr`, `/var`
+- **System directory wildcards**: `/usr/bin/*`, `/etc/*`, etc.
+- **Works even with sudo**: Protection cannot be bypassed with elevated privileges
+- **Works with common flags**: `-rf`, `--no-preserve-root`, etc.
+
+### ⚠️ Does NOT Protect
+
+- **User home directories**: `/home/user` can be deleted (by design)
+- **Data directories**: `/data`, `/mnt`, `/media` directories
+- **Specific files**: Individual files in system directories like `/etc/passwd`
+- **Subdirectories**: Subdirectories like `/usr/bin/go/*`
+- **Symlink following**: Symlinks that resolve to protected paths
+
+See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for complete details on protection scope and limitations.
 
 ## Installation
 
-https://dontrm.fuabioo.com/#installation
+### Quick Install (Recommended)
+
+Visit https://dontrm.fuabioo.com/#installation for the latest installation script.
 
-## Build from source
+### Build from Source
+
+**Prerequisites**: Go 1.25+
 
 ```sh
-go install
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/Fuabioo/dontrm.git
+cd dontrm
+
+# Build and install
+go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o dontrm .
+sudo mv dontrm /usr/bin/dontrm
+
+# Or use just (if installed)
+just build
+just install
 ```
 
-Or
+### Alias Setup (Optional but Recommended)
 
-```sh
-go build && sudo mv dontrm /usr/bin/dontrm
+To make `rm` use `dontrm` automatically:
+
+```bash
+# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
+alias rm='dontrm'
+
+# Keep access to real rm if needed (use with EXTREME caution)
+alias unsafe-rm='/usr/bin/rm'
 ```
 
-## Usage
+## Quick Start
 
-Executing the following should be safe:
-(don't test it on your system though)
+### Basic Usage
 
 ```sh
+# Check version
 dontrm version
+
+# Delete a file normally
+dontrm file.txt
+
+# Delete directory recursively
+dontrm -rf ./old-project/
+
+# This will be BLOCKED
+dontrm -rf /etc
+# Error: ⛔ Blocked dangerous operation: known top level match: /etc
+
+# This will also be BLOCKED
+sudo dontrm -rf /
+# Error: ⛔ Blocked dangerous operation: known top level match: /
 ```
 
+### DRY_RUN Mode
+
+Always test dangerous-looking commands with `DRY_RUN` first:
+
 ```sh
-sudo dontrm -fr /*
+# Test mode - checks safety but doesn't actually delete
+DRY_RUN=1 dontrm -rf /some/path/
+
+# If no error, run for real
+dontrm -rf /some/path/
 ```
 
+`DRY_RUN` accepts `1`, `true`, or any truthy value.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Argument Validation**: Before executing any deletion, `dontrm` inspects all arguments
+2. **Pattern Matching**: Checks arguments against known dangerous system paths
+3. **Glob Expansion**: Evaluates wildcards to detect if they expand to system directories
+4. **Safety First**: If any dangerous pattern is detected, operation is blocked with clear error
+5. **Otherwise, Execute**: If safe, passes arguments directly to `/usr/bin/rm`
+
+```

+## Development
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.25+
+- Docker (required for testing)
+- [`just`](https://github.com/casey/just) command runner (recommended)
+- [golangci-lint](https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/install/)
+
+### Testing
+
+**CRITICAL**: All tests run in Docker containers for safety. Never run `go test` directly.
+
 ```sh
-dontrm ./path/or/file/to/remove
+# Run unit tests (Go tests in Docker)
+just test
+
+# Run E2E tests (tests actual binary in bash/zsh/fish)
+just e2e
+
+# Run all tests (unit + E2E)
+just test-all
+
+# Check coverage (requires 85% minimum)
+just coverage
+
+# Run linting
+just lint
 ```
 
-You can also use a `DRY_RUN` environment variable
-to prevent any changes from happening.
+See [TESTING.md](TESTING.md) for comprehensive testing documentation.
+
+### Building
 
 ```sh
-DRY_RUN=1 dontrm ./path/or/file/to/remove
+# Build binary
+just build
+
+# Clean artifacts
+just clean
+
+# Rebuild Docker test images
+just rebuild-test-image
+just rebuild-e2e-image
 ```
 
-## TODO
+## Testing Philosophy
+
+This project employs **defense-in-depth testing**:
+
+- **Unit Tests**: Go tests validate logic correctness (87.3% coverage)
+  - Run in Docker with control file safety check
+  - Test argument parsing, pattern matching, edge cases
+
+- **E2E Tests**: Bash script tests validate real-world usage
+  - Tests actual compiled binary in Ubuntu environment
+  - Validates bash, zsh, and fish compatibility
+  - Tests sudo usage, exit codes, error messages
+  - Creates and deletes real files (safely in Docker)
+
+Both test suites run exclusively in Docker and cannot execute on host machines (enforced by control file checks).

+
+## FAQ
+
+### Can I bypass dontrm's protection?
+
+Yes, by calling `/usr/bin/rm` directly. `dontrm` is designed to prevent **accidents**, not malicious actions. If you really need to delete system files, use the real `rm` directly (but please don't).
+
+### Does this slow down file deletion?
+
+Negligibly. Validation adds ~1-2ms overhead for simple operations. For recursive operations on thousands of files, the actual deletion time far exceeds validation time.
+
+### Why not protect user home directories?
+
+By design, users should have full control over their home directories. The goal is to prevent **system-destroying** operations, not restrict legitimate user file management.
+
+### Can I configure which paths are protected?
+
+Not currently. Protection list is hardcoded based on standard Linux FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard). See the [TODO](#roadmap) section for planned features.
+
+## Roadmap
+

+# Security Policy
+
+## Overview
+
+`dontrm` is a safety wrapper around the `rm` command designed to prevent catastrophic system deletions. Security is our highest priority.
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+| Version | Supported          |
+| ------- | ------------------ |
+| Latest  | :white_check_mark: |
+| < 1.0   | :x:                |
+
+## What dontrm Protects Against
+
+### Protected Operations
+
+dontrm blocks these dangerous patterns:
+
+1. **Top-level system paths**
+   - `/`, `/bin`, `/boot`, `/dev`, `/etc`, `/lib`, `/lib64`, `/opt`, `/proc`, `/root`, `/run`, `/sbin`, `/srv`, `/sys`, `/usr`, `/var`
+   - Example: `dontrm -rf /` → **BLOCKED**
+
+2. **Wildcard operations on system directories**
+   - `/usr/bin/*`, `/etc/*`, etc.
+   - Example: `dontrm -rf /etc/*` → **BLOCKED**
+
+3. **Recursive glob patterns**
+   - `/**/*` and similar patterns that expand to system paths
+   - Example: `dontrm /**/*` → **BLOCKED**
+
+### What dontrm DOES NOT Protect
+
+dontrm is not a comprehensive safety solution. It does **NOT** protect against:
+
+- **User home directories**: `/home/user` can be deleted (intentional design)
+- **Data directories**: `/data`, `/mnt`, `/media` wildcards are allowed
+- **Specific files**: `/etc/passwd` (individual files in system dirs)
+- **Subdirectories**: `/usr/bin/go/*` (subdirectories of system dirs)
+- **Non-standard system paths**: Custom installation directories
+- **Network/remote filesystems**: NFS, SMB mounts
+- **Symlink exploitation**: Following symlinks to protected paths
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Use Cases
+
+dontrm is designed for:
+- Preventing accidental `sudo rm -rf /` disasters
+- Catching copy-paste errors from internet commands
+- Protecting against typos in wildcard patterns
+
+dontrm is **NOT** designed for:
+- Preventing malicious actions by authorized users
+- Filesystem access control (use proper permissions instead)
+- Comprehensive system protection (use backups, snapshots, immutable infrastructure)
+
+### DRY_RUN Mode
+
+Always test dangerous commands with `DRY_RUN` first:
+
+```bash
+# Test before running
+DRY_RUN=1 dontrm -rf /some/path
+
+# If safe, run for real
+dontrm -rf /some/path
+```
+
+### Sudo Usage
+
+dontrm requires sudo for operations that need elevated privileges. Be aware:
+- Running with sudo bypasses user-level protections
+- Always double-check commands before using sudo
+- Consider using `DRY_RUN=1` even with sudo
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+1. **Symlink Following**: dontrm checks the provided path, not what symlinks resolve to
+2. **Race Conditions**: File system state can change between check and execution
+3. **Glob Expansion**: Shell expands globs before dontrm sees them (usually safe, but be aware)
+4. **Custom System Paths**: If you've installed system software in non-standard locations, those aren't protected
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+### What to Report
+
+Please report:
+- Bypasses of safety checks
+- Ways to delete protected paths
+- Race conditions in protection logic
+- Misleading error messages that could cause dangerous operations
+- Security issues in test infrastructure
+
+### What NOT to Report
+
+These are known and expected:
+- User home directories can be deleted (by design)
+- Specific files in system directories can be deleted (by design)
+- The tool can be bypassed by using `/usr/bin/rm` directly (by design)
+
+### How to Report
+
+**For security vulnerabilities, please email:** fabio@fuabioo.com
+
+**DO NOT** open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.
+
+Include in your report:
+1. Description of the vulnerability
+2. Steps to reproduce
+3. Potential impact
+4. Suggested fix (if you have one)
+
+### Response Timeline
+
+- **Initial Response**: Within 48 hours
+- **Status Update**: Within 7 days
+- **Fix Timeline**: Depends on severity
+  - Critical: Within 7 days
+  - High: Within 14 days
+  - Medium: Within 30 days
+  - Low: Next release cycle
+
+## Security Testing
+
+### Test Safety
+
+Our test infrastructure prioritizes safety:
+
+1. **Docker Isolation**: All tests run in Docker containers (unit + E2E)
+2. **Control File Mechanism**: Tests verify they're in safe environment
+3. **No Local Execution**: Tests cannot run on host machine
+4. **85% Coverage**: Comprehensive test coverage ensures protection works (accounts for untestable main() wrapper)
+
+See [TESTING.md](TESTING.md) for details.
+
+### Continuous Integration
+
+Every commit is automatically tested for:
+- Protection logic correctness (unit tests)
+- Real-world binary behavior (E2E tests in bash/zsh/fish)
+- Code quality via linting
+- Race conditions via race detector
+- Coverage maintenance (85% minimum)
+
+## Best Practices for Users
+
+### General Safety
+
+1. **Always use DRY_RUN first** for untested patterns
+2. **Read error messages carefully** - they explain what was blocked and why
+3. **Use absolute paths** when possible for clarity
+4. **Verify wildcards expand correctly** before running
+5. **Maintain backups** - dontrm is not a backup solution
+
+### Integration Safety
+
+If integrating dontrm into scripts or tools:
+
+```bash
+# Good: Check exit status
+if dontrm "$file"; then
+    echo "Deleted successfully"
+else
+    echo "Deletion blocked or failed"
+fi
+
+# Good: Use DRY_RUN for validation
+if DRY_RUN=1 dontrm "$path" 2>/dev/null; then
+    # Path is safe to delete
+    dontrm "$path"
+fi
+```
+
+### Alias Configuration
+
+If aliasing `rm` to `dontrm`:
+
+```bash
+# In .bashrc or .zshrc
+alias rm='dontrm'
+
+# Keep a way to access real rm if needed
+alias dangerrm='/usr/bin/rm'  # Use with extreme caution
+```

+# Testing Guide
+
+## Critical Safety Requirement
+
+**TESTS MUST ONLY RUN IN DOCKER CONTAINERS**
+
+This project deals with dangerous file operations (`rm` commands). To prevent accidental file deletion on your host machine, all tests are designed to run exclusively in Docker containers.
+
+## Safety Mechanisms
+
+We employ multiple layers of defense to ensure tests never run on your host machine:
+
+### 1. Control File Detection
+The Docker test container creates a special control file at `/tmp/.docker-test-safe-env`. Tests check for this file at startup and immediately fail if it's not found:
+
+```go
+// Tests will panic if control file is missing
+func requireDockerEnv() {
+    if _, err := os.Stat(dockerTestControlFile); os.IsNotExist(err) {
+        panic("FATAL: Tests MUST run in Docker container for safety!")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. No Local Test Commands
+The `justfile` deliberately does NOT include a local test command. The only way to run tests is through Docker.
+
+### 3. Smart Docker Image Caching
+The test infrastructure uses intelligent caching to avoid unnecessary rebuilds while maintaining safety:
+- Calculates SHA256 hash of `Dockerfile.test`
+- Stores hash in `.dockertest.hash` (gitignored)
+- Only rebuilds when Dockerfile changes
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Docker installed and running
+- `just` command runner (optional, but recommended)
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+just test
+
+# Run tests with coverage report
+just coverage
+
+# Force rebuild of test image
+just rebuild-test-image
+```
+
+### Without Just
+
+If you don't have `just` installed:
+
+```bash
+# Build test image
+docker build -f Dockerfile.test -t dontrm-test:latest .
+
+# Run tests
+docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app dontrm-test:latest go test -v ./...
+
+# Run with coverage
+docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app dontrm-test:latest go test -v -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+```
+
+## Coverage Requirements
+
+This project enforces **85% code coverage** as a minimum threshold (accounting for the untestable main() wrapper function). The `just coverage` command will:
+1. Run all tests with coverage profiling
+2. Generate a coverage report
+3. Check if coverage meets the 85% threshold
+4. Fail if coverage is below threshold
+
+```bash
+$ just coverage
+Running tests with coverage in Docker...
+...
+✅ Coverage is 87.3% - meets required 85%
+```
+
+## End-to-End Testing
+
+In addition to unit tests, this project includes comprehensive **End-to-End (E2E) tests** that test the actual compiled binary as users would use it in production.
+
+### Running E2E Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run E2E tests only
+just e2e
+
+# Run both unit tests and E2E tests
+just test-all
+
+# Force rebuild E2E Docker image
+just rebuild-e2e-image
+```
+
+### Key Differences: Unit Tests vs E2E Tests
+
+| Aspect | Unit Tests | E2E Tests |
+|--------|-----------|-----------|
+| **What's tested** | Go functions and logic | Actual compiled binary |
+| **Environment** | Go test framework | Real Linux (Ubuntu) with bash/zsh/fish |
+| **Test language** | Go | Bash scripts |
+| **Control file** | `/tmp/.docker-test-safe-env` | `/tmp/.docker-e2e-safe-env` |
+| **Dockerfile** | `Dockerfile.test` | `Dockerfile.e2e` (multi-stage) |
+| **Purpose** | Validate logic correctness | Validate real-world usage |
+
+### E2E Test Coverage
+
+The E2E test suite (`e2e_test.sh`) validates:
+
+- ✅ **Version command** - `dontrm version` works correctly
+- ✅ **Dangerous path blocking** - Blocks `/`, `/etc`, `/usr/bin/*`, etc.
+- ✅ **Safe deletions** - Actually creates and deletes files in test directories
+- ✅ **DRY_RUN mode** - Verifies files are NOT deleted with `DRY_RUN=1`
+- ✅ **sudo usage** - Tests `sudo dontrm` blocks dangerous paths
+- ✅ **Shell compatibility** - Works in bash, zsh, and fish
+- ✅ **Exit codes** - Correct exit codes (0 for success, 1 for blocked)
+- ✅ **Error messages** - Proper error output to stderr
+- ✅ **Flag parsing** - Tests `-rf`, `--no-preserve-root`, `--`, etc.
+
+### E2E Safety Mechanisms
+
+The E2E tests employ the same defense-in-depth safety approach:
+
+1. **Control File Check**: First thing `e2e_test.sh` does is check for `/tmp/.docker-e2e-safe-env`
+2. **Multi-stage Build**: Binary built in stage 1, tested in stage 2 - never touches host
+3. **Docker-Only Execution**: No local e2e command - only runs via Docker
+4. **Isolated Test Directory**: All file operations in `/tmp/dontrm-e2e-test-*` within container
+5. **Separate Namespace**: Different control file and Docker image than unit tests
+
+### E2E Test Environment
+
+- **Base Image**: Ubuntu latest (realistic production environment)
+- **Shells Installed**: bash, zsh, fish
+- **Binary**: Statically compiled from source in multi-stage build
+- **sudo**: Configured for testing (passwordless within container)
+- **Test User**: Non-root user with sudo privileges
+
+### Manual E2E Testing Without Just
+
+If you don't have `just` installed:
+
+```bash
+# Build E2E image
+docker build -f Dockerfile.e2e -t dontrm-e2e:latest .
+
+# Run E2E tests
+docker run --rm dontrm-e2e:latest
+```
+
+### Example E2E Test Output
+
+```

+```
+
+## What Happens If You Try to Run Tests Locally?
+
+### Unit Tests
+If you accidentally run `go test` on your host machine, the tests will immediately panic with:
+
+```
+FATAL: Tests MUST run in Docker container for safety!
+The control file /tmp/.docker-test-safe-env was not found.
+Use 'just test' to run tests safely in Docker.
+```
+
+### E2E Tests
+If you try to run `./e2e_test.sh` on your host machine, it will immediately exit with:
+
+```
+==========================================
+FATAL: E2E tests MUST run in Docker!
+==========================================
+The control file /tmp/.docker-e2e-safe-env was not found.
+This safety mechanism prevents accidental execution on your host PC.
+Use 'just e2e' to run tests safely in Docker.
+```
+
+These safety mechanisms prevent any potentially dangerous operations from executing on your system.

+
+### Adding New Tests
+
+**Unit Tests:**
+1. All new tests automatically inherit the Docker-only requirement via `TestMain`
+2. Tests should focus on logic validation, not actual file operations
+3. Use temporary files for testing (automatically cleaned up)
+4. Ensure new code maintains 85%+ coverage
+
+**E2E Tests:**
+1. Add new test functions to `e2e_test.sh`
+2. Always use `/tmp/dontrm-e2e-test-*` directories for file operations
+3. Use `pass()` and `fail()` helper functions for consistent output
+4. Test real binary behavior, not Go functions
+5. Add `cleanup_test` at the start and end of your test function
+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+GitHub Actions automatically runs tests in Docker on every push and pull request:
+
+**Lint Job:**
+- Runs go fmt
+- Runs golangci-lint with 25+ linters
+
+**Unit Test Job:**
+- Builds fresh Docker test image
+- Runs all unit tests with race detector
+- Verifies coverage meets 85% threshold
+- Uploads coverage to Codecov
+
+**E2E Test Job:**
+- Builds multi-stage E2E Docker image
+- Runs comprehensive E2E test suite
+- Tests actual binary in realistic environment
+- Validates bash/zsh/fish compatibility
+
+**Build Job:**
+- Builds the binary
+- Verifies binary executes correctly
+
+All jobs must pass for CI to succeed. See `.github/workflows/test.yml` for details.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Docker Image Won't Build
+
+```bash
+# Check Docker is running
+docker ps
+
+# Try force rebuilding unit test image
+just rebuild-test-image
+
+# Try force rebuilding E2E test image
+just rebuild-e2e-image
+```
+
+### "Image not found" Error
+
+Test images are built automatically on first run. If you see this error:
+
+```bash
+# For unit tests
+just rebuild-test-image
+
+# For E2E tests
+just rebuild-e2e-image
+```
+
+### Coverage Below 85%
+
+If coverage drops below 85%:
+1. Review what code is untested: `go tool cover -html=coverage.out`
+2. Add tests for uncovered code paths
+3. Ensure edge cases are covered
+
+### E2E Tests Failing
+
+If E2E tests fail:
+1. Check the output for specific test failures
+2. Rebuild the E2E image: `just rebuild-e2e-image`
+3. Verify Docker has enough resources (memory/disk)
+4. Check if shells (bash/zsh/fish) are properly installed in the image
+
+## Philosophy
+
+This project demonstrates defense-in-depth for dangerous operations:
+- **Prevention**: Tests can't run locally by design
+- **Detection**: Control file must exist
+- **Validation**: Multiple test layers ensure protection works
+- **Isolation**: Docker provides complete filesystem isolation
+
+Never compromise on test safety for convenience.

Subject: [PATCH 07/10] refactor: streamline CI and remove nolint directives
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add a `lint-ci` command to the justfile to run linting with a specific version of golangci-lint in Docker, ensuring consistent linting across environments.
- Update the `.golangci.yml` configuration to remove the `gosimple` and `stylecheck` linters, simplifying the linting ruleset.
- Remove several `nolint:errcheck` directives from `main.go` and `main_test.go`, improving code clarity and ensuring proper error handling is considered.
- Update `.claude/settings.local.json` to allow new `just` commands.

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] feat: Add Dockerfile for testing environment
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit introduces a new Dockerfile specifically for running tests in a containerized environment. This will help ensure that tests are run in a consistent and reproducible manner.

The .gitignore file has been updated to ensure that this new Dockerfile is not ignored.

+#### Making the Alias Work with Sudo
+
+By default, `sudo rm` won't use your alias because sudo runs commands in a clean environment. To make `sudo rm` use `dontrm`:
+
+**Option 1: Add alias to root's bashrc (Recommended)**
+
+```bash
+# Edit root's bashrc
+sudo nano /root/.bashrc
+
+# Add the alias
+alias rm='dontrm'
+
+# Reload root's bashrc
+sudo bash -c "source /root/.bashrc"
+```
+
+**Option 2: Use sudo with alias expansion**
+
+```bash
+# Add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
+alias sudo='sudo '  # Note the trailing space - this makes sudo expand aliases
+
+# Now 'sudo rm' will use your alias
+# But this affects ALL sudo commands, not just rm
+```
+
+**Option 3: Create a wrapper script**
+
+```bash
+# Create a wrapper script
+sudo tee /usr/local/bin/rm-safe >/dev/null <<'EOF'
+#!/bin/bash
+exec /usr/bin/dontrm "$@"
+EOF
+
+sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rm-safe
+
+# Add to root's bashrc
+sudo bash -c "echo 'alias rm=\"/usr/local/bin/rm-safe\"' >> /root/.bashrc"
+```
+
+**Testing sudo alias:**
+
+```bash
+# Test if sudo uses dontrm
+sudo rm --version  # Should show "DON'T rm!" not GNU rm version
+
+# If it shows GNU rm version, the alias isn't active for sudo
+```
+
