+# Dynamic File Suggestion Generator (`commands/core/filegen.go`)
+
+The `FileGenerator` is a dynamic suggestion engine that bridges the gap between static command specs and your live filesystem.
+
+## How it works
+
+The generator is assigned to commands or options that expect file paths (e.g., `git add`, `cat`, `go run`).
+
+### Path Resolution
+It handles both local and nested paths:
+- `cat m` -> Scans `./` for entries starting with `m`.
+- `cat src/` -> Scans `src/` for all entries.
+- `cat src/main` -> Scans `src/` for entries starting with `main`.
+
+### Intelligence Features
+
+1. **Extension Filtering**: You can restrict the generator to specific files.
+   - `FileGenerator(".go")` -> Only shows `.go` files (used in `go build`).
+2. **Directory Suffixing**: When a directory is suggested, Iris appends a `/` to the command string. This allows you to immediately continue typing to dive into the next level of the folder tree.
+3. **Descriptions**: It automatically converts common extensions into human-readable labels (e.g., `.mp4` -> `video`, `.zip` -> `archive`).
+4. **Directory-Only Mode**: Commands like `cd` use a special filter to hide all files and only show folders.
+
+## Code Example
+```go
+// Registration for 'go run'
+Generator: core.FileGenerator(".go")
+```
+When typing `go run `, Iris will scan the current directory, filter for `.go` extensions, and ignore images, binaries, or other unrelated files.

+# Shell History Integration (`integration/history.go`)
+
+The `history` module provides the Ctrl+R fuzzy search functionality by reading the user's persistent shell command history.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Zsh Extended Support**: Specifically parses the `: <timestamp>;<command>` format common in Zsh.
+- **Lazy Loading**: Doesn't read the disk until the user actually requests history. This keeps startup time instantaneous.
+- **Fuzzy Search**: Integrated with the `fuzzyvn` search engine.
+- **Deduplication**: Automatically hides duplicate entries, showing only the most unique command variants.
+
+## Data Flow
+
+1. User presses `Ctrl+R`.
+2. `root` sets `mode = "history"`.
+3. `SearchHistory("")` is called.
+4. If `cache` is empty:
+   - Reads `~/.zsh_history`.
+   - Strips metadata using `;` delimiter.
+   - Populates a slice of commands.
+5. Search matches are sorted by the `fuzzyvn` engine.
+6. Suggestions are returned to the `overlay` for rendering.
+
+## Configuration
+It currently looks for `.zsh_history` in the user's home directory.

+# Overlay Rendering UI (`integration/overlay.go`)
+
+The `overlay` package handles the visual representation of suggestions. It is designed to be "non-destructive," meaning it draws over the shell without corrupting the prompt or the scrollback buffer.
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+- **ANSI ESC Everywhere**: It uses CSI (Command Sequence Introducer) codes to manipulate the terminal.
+- **Save/Restore**: It uses `\0337` (DECSC) and `\0338` (DECRC) to jump back to the prompt after drawing the menu.
+- **Fixed Width**: The box is exactly 72 characters wide (`boxWidth`) to ensure a consistent, premium feel.
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Terminal Scrolling Protection
+When rendering near the bottom of the screen, simply printing lines would cause the terminal to scroll and bury the prompt. Iris solves this by:
+1. Moving to the prompt.
+2. Printing N empty newlines.
+3. Moving back up N lines.
+4. Saving the cursor *again* at this new, stabilized location.
+
+### Styling with Lipgloss
+While Iris handles the positioning via raw ANSI codes, it uses **Lipgloss** for the "interior design":
+- **Colors**: Dracula-inspired palette (`#BD93F9`, `#6272A4`).
+- **Icons**: Fixed-width columns for badges.
+- **Selection**: Highlights the active item with a background color (`#44475A`).
+
+## Example Logic
+To draw line 1 of the menu:
+1. `\0338` (Jump to prompt anchor).
+2. `\033[2B` (Move 2 lines down).
+3. `\033[K` (Clear the entire line).
+4. Print `│ [Icon] Command name... │`.

+# IRIS: Central Integration & Event Loop (`root/`)
+
+The `root` package is the entry point and the orchestration layer of IRIS. It handles the low-level terminal manipulation and the main interaction loop.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. **PTY Wrapper**: When you run `iris`, it starts a Pseudo-Terminal (PTY) and launches `bash` inside it.
+2. **IO Interception**: It creates two "pumps":
+   - **Output Pump**: Forwards everything from Bash to your screen using `TermWrite` (synchronized to prevent UI glitches).
+   - **Input Pump**: Listens to your keyboard. If it detects you are typing a command, it records it in a `naiveBuffer` and triggers the suggestion engine.
+3. **State Management**: It tracks whether you are in `spec` mode (command suggestions) or `history` mode (Ctrl+R).
+
+## Key Components
+
+### `root.go`
+Contains the `runWrapper()` function which:
+- Sets the terminal to **Raw Mode** so Iris can capture keys like `Tab`, `Esc`, or `Ctrl+C` before the shell does.
+- Manages the `naiveBuffer`: a string that tracks exactly what you see on your prompt.
+- Handles **Selection Logic**: When you press `Tab`, it modifies the Bash line using the `Ctrl+U` (clear line) + `selected command` sequence.
+
+### `term_sync.go`
+Provides `TermWrite`, a thread-safe wrapper around `os.Stdout`. It uses a `sync.Mutex` to ensure that if Bash and the Iris Overlay try to write at the exact same millisecond, the output doesn't get garbled.
+
+## Example Flow
+1. User types `g`.
+2. `root` captures `g`, appends to `naiveBuffer`.
+3. `root` calls `renderOverlay()`.
+4. `renderOverlay` calls `Lookup("g")`.
+5. `overlay` renders the result `git`.
+6. User presses `Tab`.
+7. `root` sends `Ctrl+U` to Bash, then sends `git ` (the completion).

+# Command Specification & Navigation (`commands/core/spec.go`)
+
+The `spec` module is the "language parser" of IRIS. it understands the relationship between commands, subcommands, and flags.
+
+## Data Structures
+
+- **`Spec`**: The top-level definition (e.g., for `git`).
+- **`Subcommand`**: Recursively defined children (e.g., `commit` under `git`).
+- **`Generator`**: A function that provides dynamic content (like files or docker IDs).
+
+## The `Lookup` Algorithm
+
+This is the most critical function in IRIS. It follows these steps:
+
+1. **Tokenization**: Splits `"git commit -m"` into `["git", "commit", "-m"]`. 
+   - *Empty tokens* (from a trailing space) indicate the user is ready for the next level of suggestions.
+2. **Tree Walking**: It starts at the root (`git`) and tries to match each following token against the current node's subcommands.
+3. **Context Identification**: Once it can't walk any further (e.g., a partial word or an option), it defines:
+   - `prefix`: The path already traveled.
+   - `partial`: The word currently being typed.
+4. **Result Collection**: It gathers all valid subcommands and options that match the `partial` prefix.
+
+## Example
+Input: `git com`
+1. Tokens: `["git", "com"]`
+2. Walk: Root is `git`.
+3. Next token `com` doesn't exactly match `commit`.
+4. Stop walking. `partial` = `com`.
+5. Suggestions: Look for subcommands of `git` starting with `com`.
+6. Return: `git commit`.
