feat: Implement cross-compilation with target inheritance and host defaults

- Updated build and run commands to accept a --target option for specifying target platforms.
- Enhanced documentation to include cross-compilation usage and supported targets.
- Modified configuration to allow target-specific settings and toolchains.
- Introduced a new test command to run project tests with specified profiles and targets.
- Improved handling of target directories and output structure for different platforms.
- Added support for multiple targets in the configuration file.
- Implemented inheritance for workspace and dependencies based on target and profile.

+
+### Key Concepts
+
+- **`dcr.toml`** — конфигурационный файл проекта (аналог `Cargo.toml`). Секции: `[package]`, `[build]`, `[toolchain]`, `[dependencies]`, `[workspace]`.
+- **Профили сборки**: `debug` (по умолчанию) и `release`. Встроенные флаги зависят от компилятора. Пользовательские флаги через `build.cflags` / `build.ldflags`.
+- **Инкрементальная сборка**: объектные файлы кешируются по mtime. Отслеживание заголовков пока не реализовано (см. `TODO.md`).
+- **Workspace**: корневой `dcr.toml` с секцией `[workspace]` описывает member-проекты и их зависимости; сборка происходит в топологическом порядке.
+- **Path dependencies**: зависимости по путям автоматически добавляют include/lib-пути; генерируется `dcr.lock`.
+- **Build kinds**: `bin` (бинарник), `staticlib` (`.a`), `sharedlib` (`.so`/`.dylib`/`.dll`).
+
+## Supported Platforms
+
+| Platform | Target triple |
+|---|---|
+| Linux | `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` |
+| macOS Intel | `x86_64-apple-darwin` |
+| macOS ARM | `aarch64-apple-darwin` |
+| Windows | `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` |
+
+## Dependencies (Cargo)
+
+| Crate | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `reqwest` | HTTP-запросы для `--update` (blocking, rustls-tls) |
+| `serde` | Сериализация/десериализация |
+| `toml` | Парсинг `dcr.toml` |
+| `sha2` | Хеширование при обновлении |
+| `self-replace` | Замена бинарника при `--update` |
+
+## Development
+
+### Build & Run
+
+```bash
+cargo build             # debug build
+cargo build --release   # release build
+cargo run -- new hello  # создать проект "hello"
+```
+
+### Code Quality
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all
+cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
+cargo check
+cargo test
+```
+
+### CI/CD
+
+- **CI**: `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — проверки при PR/push
+- **Release**: `.github/workflows/release.yml` — сборка бинарников при пуше тега `v*`
+
+### Tests
+
+- Интеграционные CLI-тесты: `tests/cli_basic.rs`
+
+## Code Conventions
+
+- Rust stable edition 2024
+- Форматирование: `cargo fmt`
+- Линтинг: `cargo clippy` без warnings
+- Функции — маленькие и сфокусированные
+- Имена — понятные и описательные
+- Пользовательские сообщения CLI — на английском языке
+- Вывод ошибок/предупреждений через `utils::log::{error, warn}`

 # Changelog
 
+## [0.5.1] - 2026-04-12
+
+Fixed:
+
+- Windows compatibility for target-specific config without --target flag
+
+Added:
+
+- Default host target detection for automatic target overrides
+- Unit tests for target normalization
+
+Improved:
+
+- Config value lookup optimization
+- Documentation for Windows cross-compilation
+
+## [0.5.0] - 2026-04-10
+
+Added:
+
+- Full inheritance system for all config sections: `build`, `toolchain`, `run`, `workspace`, `dependencies`
+  - Order: `section.target.profile` → `section.profile.target` → `section.target` → `section.profile` → `section`
+  - `inherit = false` to disable inheritance completely
+  - Target-specific overrides: `[build.linux]`, `[toolchain.windows]`, `[run.macos]`, etc.
+- Cross-compilation support with `--target <triple>`
+  - Full target triples and short names (`linux`, `macos`, `windows`)
+  - Target-specific config sections: `[build.<target>]`, `[toolchain.<target>]`, `[run.<target>]`
+- Workspace and dependencies support target/profile inheritance
+- Multiple targets build: `[build.targets]` to build for multiple targets simultaneously
+- Target directory structure: `target/<target>/<profile>/` (native or triple)
+- Updated documentation with cross-compilation guide and Arch Linux examples
+
+## [0.4.0] - 2026-04-10
+
+Added:
+
+- Test command: `dcr test` and `dcr tests`
+  - Automatic compilation and linking for tests without manual configuration
+  - `dcr test --init` creates test template and header
+  - Test framework with EXPECT/SKIP macros in `dcr_test.h`
+- Improved test integration: added test CLI module and basic test suite
+- Documentation updates for testing functionality
+
+## [0.3.0] - 2026-03-18
+
+Added:
+
+- `dcr gen` command for IDE integration and build tool support
+    - `dcr gen project-info`: Output project metadata as JSON
+    - `dcr gen compile-commands`: Generate `compile_commands.json` for clangd and clang-tidy
+    - `dcr gen vscode`: Generate VS Code `.vscode/` integration (launch.json, tasks.json, settings.json)
+    - `dcr gen clion`: Generate JetBrains CLion `.idea/` integration (run configurations, build targets)
+- Full workspace support for all `gen` subcommands
+
+## [0.2.10] - 2026-03-16
+
+Added:
+
+- `build.steps` for pre-build generators (e.g., `moc`/`uic`/`rcc`)
+- `build.pkg_config` for `pkg-config`-driven cflags/ldflags resolution
+- `[toolchain]` support for `uic`, `moc`, `rcc`
+- Step command variables (`{uic}`, `{moc}`, `{rcc}`, `{cflags}`, `{stem}`, `{in}`, `{out}`)
+- `{profile}` placeholder support for dependency paths
+
+## [0.2.9] - 2026-03-14
+
+Added:
+
+- Header dependency tracking for fine-grained incremental builds (rebuilds when `#include` files change)
+- Complete internal rewrite of the builder module: merged duplicate compilation backends
+
+Changed:
+
+- `cflags` and `default_flags` no longer incorrectly leak to the linker stage in GCC/Clang
+- Reduced builder codebase size by over 20% while increasing reliability
+- Greatly expanded test suite with 34 new tests covering configuration, CLI errors, and path operations
+
+## [0.2.8] - 2026-03-06
+
+Added:
+
+- Workspace support (`[workspace]` with deps ordering)
+- `clean --all` for workspace members
+  Changed:
+- Project root discovery for `build/run/clean` (searches parent dirs)
+- Workspace paths are excluded from root source scan
+- Build output now uses a Cargo-style `Compiling <name> v<version>` line
+- Build time now reports total time for the whole build stage (workspace included)
+- Cache hits are silent (no compile line when nothing is rebuilt)
+- Safer build cache: fingerprints include headers and resolved library files
+
+## [0.2.7] - 2026-03-03
+

+# Contributing
+
+Thanks for your interest in the project.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Use Rust stable.
+- Before opening a PR, the code must pass formatting, linting, and build.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dexoron/dcr.git
+cd dcr
+cargo check
+```
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Format code with `cargo fmt`.
+- Check warnings with `cargo clippy`.
+- Keep functions small and focused.
+- Prefer clear names over clever ones.
+
+## Target System
+
+DCR supports cross-compilation via `--target <triple>` or short names:
+
+- `dcr build --target linux --release` (maps to `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`)
+- `dcr build --target macos --release` (maps to `x86_64-apple-darwin`)
+- `dcr build --target windows --release` (maps to `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`)
+- Full triples: `dcr build --target aarch64-linux-gnu --release`
+- Configure multiple targets in `dcr.toml`:
+  ```
+  [build.targets]
+  targets = ["linux", "macos"]
+
+  [build.linux]
+  compiler = "gcc"
+
+  [build.macos]
+  compiler = "clang"
+  ```
+- If no `--target`, builds for targets in `build.targets` or native if empty.
+
+## Checks
+
+Before PR, run:
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt --all
+cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
+cargo check
+cargo test
+```
+
+## CI/CD and Releases
+
+- CI: `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
+- Release: `.github/workflows/release.yml`
+- Releases are triggered by tags `v*` and publish binaries for:
+- `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+- `x86_64-apple-darwin`
+- `aarch64-apple-darwin`
+- `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`
+
+## Commits and PRs
+
+- Write clear commit messages.
+- In PRs, include a short description and rationale.
+- Update documentation when behavior changes.

+# FAQ
+
+## What is this project about?
+`dcr` is a tool for managing C/C++ projects and their dependencies.
+It is inspired by Cargo, but it is not a direct equivalent of Makefile, CMake, or other classic build systems.
+
+The goal is to provide a simpler and easier-to-configure development workflow.
+
+## How is the project developed?
+The project is written in Rust and is primarily developed by one maintainer, Dexoron.
+
+AI tools are used during development, but they do not write the project end-to-end. Their role is limited to supporting specific tasks (for example, suggestions, wording checks, and translations).
+
+## Which tools are used for development?
+Main development stack:
+- `RustRover` 2025 - development IDE.
+- `Codex` (`GPT-5.3-Codex (medium)`) - primary AI tool, integrated via JetBrains AI Chat.
+- `Rust` - main project language.
+- `Cargo` - tool for building, testing, and dependency management in Rust projects.
+
+## Is the project open source?
+Yes, the project is open source.
+You can propose ideas, report issues, and contribute code changes.
+
+The project is distributed under the MIT license (see `LICENSE`).
+
+## How can I contribute?
+Thank you for contributing.
+You can:
+- help with code;
+- help with translations;
+- help with documentation;
+- suggest an idea or report a bug.
+
+### If you want to submit changes (code, translation, documentation)
+1. Fork the required repository: `dexoron/dcr` (main project) or `dexoron/dcr-site` (project website).
+2. Make your changes following the rules in `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
+3. Push changes to your fork.
+4. Open a Pull Request.
+5. Wait for review.
+
+### If you want to report a problem or suggest an idea
+1. Open the relevant repository: `dexoron/dcr` or `dexoron/dcr-site`.
+2. Go to the `Issues` tab.
+3. Create an Issue and specify its type (bug, suggestion, question/help).
+4. Describe the problem or idea clearly and concisely.
+5. Wait for feedback.
+
+## How do I install `dcr`?
+Available installation methods may vary by project version.
+Recommended path:
+- check instructions in `README.md`;
+- if there is no prebuilt package for your platform, build from source using `cargo build --release`.
+
+## How can I get started quickly?
+Minimal workflow:
+1. Install `dcr`.
+2. Create a project (or open an existing C/C++ project).
+3. Initialize `dcr` configuration.
+4. Add project dependencies.
+5. Build using `dcr`.
+
+For detailed commands and examples, see `README.md` and the project documentation.
+
+## What is the project status?
+`dcr` is under active development.
+This means some interfaces and behaviors may change between versions.
+
+Before upgrading, check the changelog and release notes.
+
+## Which systems does `dcr` support?
+`dcr` targets modern C/C++ development environments.
+Actual compatibility depends on the `dcr` version, operating system, and toolchain.
+
+Before starting, check documentation for:
+- supported operating systems;
+- supported compilers and linkers;
+- version-specific limitations.
+
+## How is `dcr` different from Make/CMake?
+`dcr` does not aim to be a direct replacement for Make/CMake.
+Its main focus is simplifying project and dependency management with a Cargo-like experience.
+
+If you need low-level, full control over build steps, classic tools may be a better fit.
+If you want a simpler and more uniform configuration model, `dcr` may be more convenient.
+
+## Where can I find documentation and examples?
+Primary sources:
+- `README.md` in the repository;
+- project documentation (see the project website);
+- `Issues` for known problems and discussions.
+
+## How do I report a bug properly?
+To make a bug report easy to reproduce, include:
+1. `dcr` version.
+2. OS and compiler/toolchain version.
+3. Steps to reproduce.
+4. Expected behavior.
+5. Actual behavior and error output.
+6. Minimal project example (if possible).
+
+Submit bugs and issues through `Issues` in the relevant repository.

 # DCR (Dexoron Cargo Realization)
 
-DCR — это утилита для управления проектами на C. Она задает единый формат проекта, дает команды для создания, сборки и запуска, и использует один конфигурационный файл `dcr.toml`.
+DCR is a utility for managing C/C++ projects in a Cargo-like style.
 
-Проект находится на стадии MVP. Текущая реализация написана на Python и в будущем будет переписана.
+The current implementation is written in Rust.
 
-## Зачем DCR
-- Единая структура проекта без ручной настройки
-- Простые команды для типовых задач
-- Прозрачная компиляция и предсказуемые профили сборки
+## Why DCR
+- Unified project structure without manual setup
+- Simple commands for common tasks
+- Transparent compilation and predictable build profiles
 
-## Возможности
-- Создание нового проекта или инициализация текущей директории
-- Сборка проекта в профилях `debug` и `release`
-- Запуск собранного бинарника
-- Очистка результатов сборки
-- Генерация минимального шаблона C-проекта
+## Features
+- Create a new project or initialize the current directory
+- Build a project with `debug` and `release` profiles
+- Run the compiled binary
+- Clean build artifacts
+- Generate IDE integration files (VS Code, CLion) and compilation databases
+- Generate a minimal C project template
+- Build static and shared libraries
+- ASM projects with NASM/GAS or via GCC/Clang
+- Mixed language projects (`language = ["c", "asm"]` and similar)
+- Cross-compilation with `--target` (short names: `linux`, `macos`, `windows`)
+- Target-specific configurations and inheritance
+- Update the binary via `dcr --update` (GitHub Releases, not for pacman/AUR installs)
 
-## Быстрый старт
-Создать новый проект:
+## Supported Platforms
+- Linux: `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+- macOS Intel: `x86_64-apple-darwin`
+- macOS Apple Silicon: `aarch64-apple-darwin`
+- Windows: `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`
+
+## Installation
+
+### Package Manager
+
+**Arch Linux**
+```sh
+yay -S dcr # or paru and other AUR package managers
+```
+
+### From Source
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/dexoron/dcr.git
+cd dcr
+cargo build --release
+mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
+ln -sf "$PWD/target/release/dcr" ~/.local/bin/dcr
+```
+
+### Via `install.sh` (Linux/macOS)
+
+```sh
+curl -fsSL https://dcr.dexoron.su/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+### Via `install.ps1` (Windows)
+
+```powershell
+irm https://dcr.dexoron.su/install.ps1 | iex
+```
+
+When executed, both scripts ask whether to:
+- download a prebuilt binary from GitHub Releases
+- or build the project from `git`
+
+Release assets:
+- `dcr-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+- `dcr-x86_64-apple-darwin`
+- `dcr-aarch64-apple-darwin`
+- `dcr-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe`
+
+## Update
+
+- If DCR was installed from GitHub release assets, `install.sh`, `install.ps1`, or built manually:
+  - use `dcr --update`
+- If DCR is installed via `pacman/AUR`:
+  - update with your package manager: `paru/yay -Syu dcr` or `sudo pacman -Syu dcr`
+  - `dcr --update` detects package-managed installs and asks you to update via package manager
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Create a new project:
 `dcr new hello`
 
-Или инициализировать текущую директорию (директория должна быть пустой):
+Or initialize the current directory (the directory must be empty):
 `dcr init`
 
-Структура проекта:
-```
+Project structure:
+
+```txt
 hello/
 - src/
 - - main.c
 - dcr.toml
 ```
 
-## Команды
+Build and run the project:
+`dcr run` or `dcr run --release`
+
+## Commands
 
 ### `dcr new <name>`
-Создает проект в текущей директории с указанным именем.
+Creates a project with the specified name in the current directory.
 
 ### `dcr init`
-Создает проект в текущей директории. Имя проекта будет равно имени директории. Директория должна быть пустой.
+Creates a project in the current directory. The project name is taken from the directory name. The directory must be empty.
 
 ### `dcr build [profile]`
-Собирает проект. Если профиль не указан, используется `--debug`.
+Builds the project. If no profile is specified, `--debug` is used.
+Use `--force` to rebuild without cache, `--clean` to clean before build.
 
 ### `dcr run [profile]`
-Собирает проект и запускает бинарник. Если профиль не указан, используется `--debug`.
+Builds the project and runs the binary. If no profile is specified, `--debug` is used.
+Use `--force` to rebuild without cache, `--clean` to clean before build.
 
-Запуск вручную:
-`./target/<profile>/main`
+Run manually:
+`./target/<profile>/<name>`
 
 ### `dcr clean`
-Удаляет папку `target` в корне проекта.
+Removes the `target` directory in the project root.
+Use `dcr clean --all` in a workspace root to clean all member projects.
 
-## Профили сборки
-Поддерживаются два профиля:
-- `--debug` (по умолчанию) — флаги: `-O0 -g -Wall -Wextra -fno-omit-frame-pointer -DDEBUG`
-- `--release` — флаги: `-O3 -DNDEBUG -march=native`
+### `dcr gen`
+Generates IDE integration files and build tools.
+- `dcr gen vscode`: VS Code workspace config
+- `dcr gen clion`: CLion project files
+- `dcr gen compile-commands`: `compile_commands.json` for clang tools
 
-## Конфигурация
-Основной файл проекта — `dcr.toml`. Сейчас он создается автоматически и служит точкой входа для будущих настроек.
+### `dcr test`
+Runs the test suite.
+Use `dcr test --init` to create test files.
 
-Пример `dcr.toml`:
+## Build Profiles
+Two profiles are supported:
+- `--debug` (default) - built-in flags per compiler
+- `--release` - built-in flags per compiler
+
+Custom flags can be added in `dcr.toml` via `build.cflags` and `build.ldflags`.
+Profile-specific flags can be added via `[build.debug]` and `[build.release]`.
+You can also set `build.target` to override the output directory (profile-independent).
+You can set `build.platform` to pass `-march=<platform>` (GCC/Clang) or `/arch:*` (MSVC) where supported.
+Use `build.kind = "staticlib"` to build a static library instead of a binary.
+Use `build.kind = "sharedlib"` to build a shared library (`.so`/`.dylib`/`.dll`).
+`dcr run` is only for `build.kind = "bin"` and will fail for libraries.
+Use `build.exclude`/`build.include` to control source/header collection.
+Use `build.roots` and `build.src_disable` to replace the default `src/` root.
+Use `build.steps` and `build.post_steps` to run custom commands.
+Use `build.clean` for extra cleanup paths and `[run].cmd` to override run command.
+
+## Cross-compilation
+
+DCR supports cross-compilation via `--target <triple>` or short names:
+
+```sh
+dcr build --target linux --release    # x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+dcr build --target macos --release    # x86_64-apple-darwin
+dcr build --target windows --release  # x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
+dcr run --target aarch64-linux-gnu
 ```
+
+Configure multiple targets and target-specific settings in `dcr.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[build.targets]
+targets = ["linux", "windows"]
+
+[build.linux]
+compiler = "gcc"
+cflags = ["-O2"]
+
+[build.windows]
+compiler = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
+```
+
+See [Cross-compilation guide](docs/dependencies-and-build/cross-compilation.md) for details.
+
+## Configuration
+The main project file is `dcr.toml`.
+
+Example `dcr.toml`:
+
+```toml
 [package]
 name = "hello"
 version = "0.1.0"
+
+[build]
 language = "c"
+standard = "c11"
 compiler = "clang"
+# Optional platform hint
+# platform = "x86_64"
+# Optional custom flags
+cflags = ["-Wall", "-Wextra"]
+ldflags = ["-lm"]
+#
+# Optional include/exclude:
+# exclude = ["src/vendor", "src/legacy/**"]
+# include = ["src/boot/arch/**"]
+
+[toolchain]
+# Optional tool overrides:
+# cc = "clang"
+# cxx = "clang++"
+# as = "as"
+# ar = "ar"
+# ld = "ld"
+# uic = "uic"
+# moc = "moc"
+# rcc = "rcc"
 
 [dependencies]
 ```
 
-## Установка в PATH
-Чтобы вызывать `dcr` из любой директории, можно сделать symlink в `~/.local/bin`:
-```sh
-ln -s "$PWD/dcr" ~/.local/bin/dcr
-```
-Убедитесь, что `~/.local/bin` находится в `PATH`.
+Workspace example:
 
-## Пример проекта
-`src/main.c` содержит минимальный `Hello, World!`:
-```c
-#include <stdio.h>
-
-int main(void) {
-    puts("Hello, World!");
-    return 0;
-}
+```toml
+[workspace]
+kernel = { path = "src/kernel", deps = ["core", "userspace"] }
+core = { path = "src/core", deps = ["userspace"] }
+userspace = { path = "src/userspace" }
 ```
 
-## Требования
-- C-компилятор (например, `gcc` или `clang`)
-- Python 3.14.2 (для текущей версии DCR)
-- uv (менеджер проекта для Python)
+Path dependencies are supported. DCR will resolve them on build and generate `dcr.lock`.
 
-## Статус и планы
-Проект в стадии MVP. Планируется переписывание на более подходящий язык и расширение функциональности:
-- более гибкая конфигурация через `dcr.toml`
-- расширяемые профили сборки
-- менеджер пакетов
+Incremental build note: object files are rebuilt when source `.c/.cpp` files change. Header dependency tracking is not implemented yet.
 
-## Лицензия
-См. файл `LICENSE`.
+## Requirements
+- Rust toolchain (`rustc`, `cargo`) - for building DCR from source
+- C compiler (`clang`, `gcc`, or 'cl'(msvc))
+
+## Releases
+Releases are built automatically via GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/release.yml`) when a tag matching `v*` is pushed.
+
+## License
+See `LICENSE`.

+# Introduction
+
+DCR (Dexoron Cargo Realization) is a Cargo-style CLI for C/C++ projects.
+
+Current DCR focuses on a simple, predictable workflow:
+
+- create or initialize a project (`dcr new`, `dcr init`)
+- build with `debug` or `release` profiles (`dcr build`)
+- run binaries (`dcr run`)
+- clean artifacts (`dcr clean`)
+- update the installed binary (`dcr --update`)
+
+## What is implemented in this version
+
+- Project configuration in `dcr.toml` with `[package]`, `[build]`, `[dependencies]`.
+- Recursive source discovery in `src/`:
+  - C: `*.c`
+  - C++: `*.cpp`, `*.cxx`, `*.cc`
+- Compiler selection from `dcr.toml` (`clang`, `gcc`, `cl`, `clang-cl`, etc.).
+- ASM support via `language = "asm"` (GCC/Clang, NASM, GAS).
+- Mixed language builds via `language = ["c", "asm"]` and similar combinations.
+- Three build kinds:
+  - `bin` (default)
+  - `staticlib`
+  - `sharedlib`
+- Optional custom output directory via `build.target`.
+- Optional `build.platform` to pass architecture hints (`-march` / `/arch`).
+- Optional `build.exclude`/`build.include` for source/header selection.
+- Optional `build.roots`/`build.src_disable` to replace the default `src/` root.
+- Optional build steps with `build.steps` and `build.post_steps`.
+- Optional `build.pkg_config` integration.
+- Optional `build.clean` and `build.expect`.
+- Optional `[run].cmd` to override run command.
+- Workspace builds via `[workspace]` with per-project `dcr.toml`.
+- Path dependencies with include/lib resolution and `dcr.lock` generation.
+
+## Important behavior notes
+
+- `dcr.toml` is required for `build`, `run`, and `clean`.
+- `run` works only with `build.kind = "bin"`.
+- Incremental rebuild tracks source file timestamps and header dependencies (rebuilds when either source or included headers change).
+- Object files are always created under `target/<profile>/obj/`.

+dcr build --target linux --release
+dcr build --release --force
+dcr build --debug --clean
+```
+
+## What `build` does
+
+1. Checks that `dcr.toml` exists and is valid.
+2. Reads build settings from `[build]`.
+3. Resolves path dependencies from `[dependencies]`.
+4. Creates required output directories.
+5. Recursively compiles sources from `src/`.
+6. Links final artifact (binary or library).

+- Profile flag (`--debug` / `--release`) can appear in any argument position (duplicates are rejected).
+- Unknown profile flags return an error.
+- `--target <triple>` builds for specified target (short names: `linux`, `macos`, `windows`).
+- If no `--target`, builds for `build.targets` or native.
+- Incremental rebuild checks source/object mtime and tracked header dependencies.
+- `--force` skips build cache checks and recompiles.
+- `--clean` removes `target/<profile>` and `build.clean` paths before building.
+- Default GCC/Clang profile flags: `debug` -> `-O0 -g -Wall -Wextra -fno-omit-frame-pointer -DDCR_DEBUG`, `release` -> `-O3 -DNDEBUG`.
+- For `language = "asm"` with `compiler = "as"`/`"gas"`, use `.s` files (no preprocessing). For `.S`, use `gcc` or `clang`.
+- In workspace root, `dcr build` builds all members in dependency order.
+- `build.exclude` removes paths from source/header collection; `build.include` re-allows matching paths and has priority over `exclude`.
+- `build.steps` run before compilation; `build.post_steps` run after linking.
+- `build.generated` is cleaned when `build.steps` need to rerun; `build.expect` is verified after post-steps.

+# dcr clean
+
+Removes build artifacts in `target/`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```sh
+dcr clean
+dcr clean --debug
+dcr clean --release
+dcr clean --all
+dcr clean --release --all
+```
+
+## Behavior
+
+- Without arguments: removes entire `target/`.
+- With profile: removes only `target/<profile>/`.
+- With `--all`: also cleans all workspace members.
+- Additionally removes paths from `build.clean` if configured.
+- `build.clean` supports `{profile}` and version placeholders.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `dcr.toml` must exist.
+- Unknown flags are treated as error.
+- If `target` or selected profile directory does not exist, command prints a warning.

+# dcr gen
+
+Generates IDE and build tool integration files for C/C++ development environments.
+
+## Usage
+
+```sh
+dcr gen project-info
+dcr gen project-info --release
+dcr gen compile-commands
+dcr gen compile-commands --debug
+dcr gen vscode
+dcr gen vscode --release
+dcr gen clion
+dcr gen clion --debug
+```
+
+## Subcommands
+
+### `dcr gen project-info`
+
+Outputs project metadata as JSON array.
+
+```sh
+dcr gen project-info [--debug | --release]
+```
+
+Outputs structured information about the project (root project + all workspace members if present):
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "name": "my-project",
+    "version": "1.0.0",
+    "root": "/path/to/root",
+    "profile": "debug",
+    "language": "c++",
+    "standard": "c++17",
+    "compiler": "g++",
+    "kind": "bin",
+    "sources": ["/path/to/root/src/main.cpp", ...],
+    "include_dirs": ["/path/to/dep/include", ...],
+    "lib_dirs": ["/path/to/dep/lib", ...],
+    "libs": ["somelib", ...],
+    "cflags": ["-Wall", ...],
+    "ldflags": ["-lm", ...]
+  }
+]
+```
+
+This is useful for integrating DCR projects with custom build tools or scripts.
+
+### `dcr gen compile-commands`
+
+Generates `compile_commands.json` for use by `clangd`, `clang-tidy`, and other tools.
+
+```sh
+dcr gen compile-commands [--debug | --release]
+```
+
+Writes `./compile_commands.json` containing compilation database entries for all source files. This file is recognized by:
+- LSP servers (`clangd`, `clang-tools-extra`)
+- Linters (`clang-tidy`)
+- Format tools (`clang-format`)
+
+The entries include:
+- Full compiler command with flags
+- Source file path
+- Object file output path
+- Project root as working directory
+
+### `dcr gen vscode`
+
+Generates Visual Studio Code integration files.
+
+```sh
+dcr gen vscode [--debug | --release]
+```
+
+Creates `.vscode/` directory with:
+
+- **`launch.json`**: Debug configurations (one per binary target, debug + release variants)
+- **`tasks.json`**: Build/run/clean tasks using `dcr` commands
+- **`settings.json`**: Clangd configuration pointing to `compile_commands.json`
+- **`extensions.json`**: Recommends `clangd`, disables `cpptools`
+- **`compile_commands.json`**: Compilation database (same as `dcr gen compile-commands`)
+
+Usage in VSCode:
+- Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P`) and select **"Debug: Start Debugging"** to run debugger
+- Press `Ctrl+Shift+B` to run the build task
+- Clangd will provide IntelliSense and diagnostics based on `compile_commands.json`
+- Generated `launch.json` uses CodeLLDB (`type: "lldb"`), so install `vadimcn.vscode-lldb`
+
+### `dcr gen clion`
+
+Generates JetBrains CLion integration files.
+
+```sh
+dcr gen clion [--debug | --release]
+```
+
+Creates `.idea/` directory with:
+
+- **`externalTools.xml`**: Registers DCR build/clean/gen commands as external tools
+- **`customTargets.xml`**: Defines build targets for debug and release
+- **`misc.xml`**: Points CLion to `compile_commands.json` for compilation database
+- **`.idea/.gitignore`**: Ignores auto-generated files
+- **`runConfigurations/*.xml`**: Debug run configs (one per binary target)
+- **`compile_commands.json`**: Compilation database (same as `dcr gen compile-commands`)
+
+Usage in CLion:
+- Build/clean via **Tools → DCR → Build Debug/Release/Clean**
+- Run/debug via **Run → Run Configurations** (dropdown) → select generated config
+- Code completion and diagnostics come from the compilation database
+
+## Config values used
+
+- `package.name`
+- `build.compiler`
+- `build.language`
+- `build.standard`
+- `build.kind`
+- `build.target`
+- `build.platform`
+- `build.cflags`
+- `build.ldflags`
+- `build.debug` / `build.release`
+- `build.exclude`
+- `build.include`
+- `build.pkg_config`
+- `build.roots`
+- `build.src_disable`
+- Workspace members (if `[workspace]` is present)
+
+## Workspace support
+
+When running `dcr gen` in a workspace root, all commands process both the root project and all workspace members:
+
+- `project-info` returns an array with entries for each member + root
+- `compile-commands` includes entries from all members
+- `vscode` and `clion` generate unified configurations that work across all members
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Clangd not picking up includes
+
+- Ensure `compile_commands.json` exists in the workspace root
+- In VSCode settings, verify `clangd.arguments` includes `--compile-commands-dir=<workspace-root>`
+- Rebuild via `dcr gen compile-commands` if sources or dependencies changed
+
+### Debug configuration not working
+
+- Verify binary paths in `launch.json` match actual build output (`target/<profile>/binary-name`)
+- For workspace projects, each member's debug config uses its own `target/` directory
+- Ensure GDB/LLDB is installed: `gdb --version` or `lldb --version`
+- If VSCode reports unsupported debugger type, install the extension that matches `launch.json` type (`vadimcn.vscode-lldb` for `lldb`)
+
+### CLion not recognizing includes
+
+- Regenerate via `dcr gen clion --debug`
+- File → Invalidate Caches → Invalidate and Restart
+- Verify `.idea/misc.xml` points to correct `compile_commands.json` path
+
+## Notes
+
+- Profiles default to `debug` if not specified
+- Generation does not require the project to be built first
+- Generated files are safe to commit; they are generated from `dcr.toml` and thus repeatable
+- IDE configurations may be customized after generation, but changes will be overwritten on next `dcr gen` run
+- For multi-binary projects, `vscode` and `clion` generate debug configs for all binaries (both debug + release variants)

+dcr run
+dcr run --debug
+dcr run --release
+dcr run --target linux --release
+dcr run --release --force
+dcr run --debug --clean
+```

+5. If `[run].cmd` is set, runs that command instead of the built binary.
+
+## Restrictions
+
+- If `build.kind = "staticlib"` or `build.kind = "sharedlib"`, `run` exits with error.
+- The profile is selected from the first argument.
+- `--target <triple>` runs the binary for specified target (short names: `linux`, `macos`, `windows`).
+- `--force` skips build cache checks and recompiles.
+- `--clean` removes `target/<profile>` and `build.clean` paths before building.
+
+## `run.cmd` variables
+
+`run.cmd` supports the same variables as build steps: `{profile}`, `{version}`, `{version_major}`,
+`{version_minor}`, `{version_patch}`, `{version_suffix}`, `{version_suffix_dash}`.
+The command runs via `sh -c` on Unix and `cmd /C` on Windows.

+## Usage
+
+```sh
+dcr test
+dcr test --release
+dcr test --target linux
+dcr test --init
+```
+
+## What `test` does
+
+1. Builds the project with the specified profile/target.
+2. Compiles test files in `tests/` (e.g., `tests/test.c`) into a test binary.
+3. Runs the test binary and parses output for PASS/SKIP/FAIL results.
+4. Reports summary with colored output.
+
+## Test Structure
+
+DCR uses a simple test framework:
+
+- Header: `tests/dcr_test.h` (generated by `dcr test --init`)
+- Test file: `tests/test.c` (template generated by `dcr test --init`)
+- Macros: `TEST(name)`, `TEST_CASE(name)`, `EXPECT(condition)`, `SKIP(reason)`

+- `build.compiler`, `build.language`, `build.standard`
+- `build.cflags`, `build.ldflags`
+- `build.debug` / `build.release`
+- `build.targets` (if specified)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Test binary is linked with the main project (for lib projects) or standalone.
+- `--init` creates `tests/dcr_test.h` and `tests/test.c` if missing.
+- Tests run in release mode by default for performance.
+- Custom test logic can be added by editing `tests/test.c`.

+
+## Fields
+
+- `language` (string or array, required): `c`, `c++`, `cpp`, `cxx`, or `asm`.
+  Mixed languages can be specified as an array, for example `["c", "c++", "asm"]`.
+- `standard` (string, required): language standard passed to compiler.
+- `compiler` (string, required): compiler command (for example `clang`, `gcc`, `cl`).
+- `kind` (string, required): `bin`, `staticlib`, or `sharedlib`.
+- `inherit` (bool, optional): inherit settings from base `[build]` (default `true`). If `false`, only use target/profile specific settings.
+- `targets` (string array, optional): list of targets to build simultaneously. Supports short names (`linux`, `macos`, `windows`).
+- `target` (string, optional): custom output directory for final artifact.
+- `platform` (string, optional): architecture hint for compiler (used for `-march` or `/arch`).
+- `cflags` (string array, optional): extra compile flags.
+- `ldflags` (string array, optional): extra link flags.
+- `exclude` (string array, optional): paths or glob patterns to skip during source/header collection.
+- `include` (string array, optional): allowlist paths or globs that override `exclude`.
+- `include` directory entries (non-glob) are also passed to the compiler as `-I` include paths.
+- `roots` (string array, optional): additional source roots to scan instead of `src/`.
+- `src_disable` (bool, optional): disables default `src/` root when true.
+- `pkg_config` (string array, optional): packages used to append `pkg-config --cflags/--libs`.
+- `generated` (string array, optional): generated files to delete when build steps rerun.
+- `expect` (string array, optional): artifacts that must exist after build/post-steps.
+- `clean` (string array, optional): additional paths removed by `dcr clean` and `--clean`.
+
+Notes for `exclude`/`include`:
+- Supports `*` and `**` glob patterns.
+- If `include` is set, it has priority over `exclude`.
+- Use `include` to re-allow nested paths, for example exclude `src/boot` but allow `src/boot/arch/**`.
+When using glob patterns in `exclude`, DCR converts them internally, so `exclude` globs still work as expected.
+
+### Build steps
+
+Build steps run shell commands before compilation. Post steps run after linking.
+
+```toml
+[[build.steps]]
+name = "uic"
+in = "src/ui/*.ui"
+out = "src/ui/{stem}.h"
+cmd = "{uic} {in} -o {out}"
+
+[[build.post_steps]]
+name = "image"
+in = "target/{profile}/boot/*.bin"
+out = "/tmp/image/os-{version}.img"
+cmd = "dd if=/dev/zero of={out} bs=1M count=8"
+```
+
+Step notes:
+- `in` supports glob patterns.
+- If `in` expands to multiple files, `out` must include `{stem}`.
+- Steps run only when inputs are newer than outputs.
+- Variables: `{in}`, `{out}`, `{stem}`, `{cflags}`, `{uic}`, `{moc}`, `{rcc}`, `{profile}`,
+  `{version}`, `{version_major}`, `{version_minor}`, `{version_patch}`, `{version_suffix}`, `{version_suffix_dash}`.
+
+`build.clean` supports `{profile}` and version placeholders (`{version}`, `{version_major}`, ...).
+
+### Profile overrides
+
+Profile tables inherit all values from `[build]`. Any field present in the profile table replaces the base value.
+Array fields (like `cflags`/`ldflags`) are appended to the base array.
+
+Target tables override profile and base settings for specific targets. Full inheritance order:
+1. `[build.<target>.<profile>]`
+2. `[build.<profile>.<target>]`
+3. `[build.<target>]`
+4. `[build.<profile>]`
+5. `[build]`
+
+If custom `cflags` are set (non-empty), default compiler flags are disabled.
+
+```toml
+[build.debug]
+cflags = ["-g3"]
+
+[build.release]
+cflags = ["-O3"]
+ldflags = ["-s"]
+
+# Target-specific overrides (applied after profile)

+compiler = "gcc"
+cflags = ["-march=x86_64"]
+
+[build.macos]
+compiler = "clang"
+cflags = ["-arch", "x86_64"]
+
+# Full inheritance example
+[build.linux.release]
+cflags = ["-O3", "-march=native"]  # Overrides profile and base
+
+[build.release.linux]
+ldflags = ["-static"]  # Alternative order
+
+[build.windows.debug]
+compiler = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
+cflags = []  # Empty to disable defaults
+
+[build.release]
+inherit = false  # No inheritance, only explicit settings
+```
+
+## Toolchain section
+
+```toml
+[toolchain]
+cc = "clang"
+cxx = "clang++"
+as = "as"
+ar = "ar"
+ld = "ld"
+uic = "uic"
+moc = "moc"
+rcc = "rcc"
+```
+
+## Behavior notes
+
+- Compiler backend is selected by compiler string (`gcc`, `clang`, `cl`, `clang-cl`).
+- Empty or unknown compiler value falls back to clang-like build path.
+- `run` is not allowed for library kinds (`staticlib`, `sharedlib`).

+- equals `cl` or contains `msvc` -> MSVC backend
+- contains `nasm` -> NASM backend
+- otherwise -> Clang backend fallback
+
+## Compilation model
+
+- Source files are found recursively in `src/` based on `build.language`.
+- `build.roots` and `build.src_disable` can replace the default `src/` root.
+- Mixed language builds use arrays, for example `build.language = ["c", "asm"]`.
+- Each source is compiled to `target/<target>/<profile>/obj/<relative-path>.o` (`.obj` on MSVC, where `<target>` is `native` or target triple).
+- Recompile happens when source mtime is newer than object mtime.
+- `build.exclude` removes paths from source/header collection; `build.include` re-allows matching paths and has priority over `exclude`.
+
+## Default build flags
+
+These flags are applied automatically based on profile and compiler backend.
+
+GCC/Clang:
+
+- `debug`: `-O0 -g -Wall -Wextra -fno-omit-frame-pointer -DDCR_DEBUG`
+- `release`: `-O3 -DNDEBUG`
+
+MSVC:
+
+- `debug`: `/Od /Zi /W4 /DDCR_DEBUG /Oy-`
+- `release`: `/O2 /DNDEBUG`
+
+Note: If custom `cflags` are set in `dcr.toml`, default profile flags are disabled to allow full control.
+
+## Platform hint
+
+If `build.platform` is set, DCR passes it as an architecture hint:
+
+- GCC/Clang: `-march=<platform>`
+- MSVC: maps to `/arch:*` for known values (`x86`, `i386`, `i486`, `i586`, `i686`, `sse2`, `avx`, `avx2`)
+
+## Toolchain overrides
+
+If `[toolchain]` is set, DCR uses its values to override compiler/linker tools:
+
+- `cc`, `cxx`, `as` override compilers for C/C++/ASM
+- `ar` overrides the archiver (used for `staticlib`)
+- `ld` overrides the linker (used by GCC/Clang/NASM/GAS backends)
+- `uic`, `moc`, `rcc` override Qt tools used in `build.steps`
+
+Environment overrides (highest priority):
+- `DCR_COMPILER` (all languages)
+- `DCR_CC`, `DCR_CXX`, `DCR_AS`, `DCR_AR`, `DCR_LD`
+- `DCR_DEBUG` enables verbose build logging
+
+## Linking
+
+For `kind = "bin"`:
+
+- Object files are linked into executable artifact.
+- Dependency lib dirs and library names are passed to linker.
+- `build.ldflags` are appended to link command.
+
+For `kind = "staticlib"`:
+
+- Linux/macOS (GCC/Clang): `ar rcs` creates `.a` archive.
+- Windows (MSVC): `lib` creates `.lib` archive.
+
+For `kind = "sharedlib"`:
+
+- Linux (GCC/Clang): `-shared` with output `.so`.
+- macOS (Clang): `-dynamiclib` with output `.dylib`.
+- Windows (MSVC): `/LD` with output `.dll`.

+# Cross-compilation and Targets
+
+DCR supports cross-compilation to different platforms using the `--target` flag. This allows building your project for architectures and operating systems different from the host.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Build for a specific target
+dcr build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --release
+
+# Short names for common platforms
+dcr build --target linux --release    # x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+dcr build --target macos --release    # x86_64-apple-darwin
+dcr build --target windows --release  # x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
+
+# Run for a specific target
+dcr run --target linux --release
+```
+
+## Supported Targets
+
+### Short Names
+- `linux` → `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+- `macos` → `x86_64-apple-darwin`
+- `windows` → `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`
+
+### Full Target Triples
+DCR supports any valid target triple in the format `<arch>-<vendor>-<os>-<abi>`. Common examples:
+- `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+- `aarch64-linux-gnu`
+- `x86_64-apple-darwin`
+- `aarch64-apple-darwin`
+- `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`
+- `i686-pc-windows-gnu`
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Multiple Targets
+
+Configure multiple targets to build simultaneously:
+
+```toml
+[build.targets]
+targets = ["linux", "macos", "windows"]
+
+# Or per profile
+[build.release.targets]
+targets = ["linux", "macos"]
+```
+
+If no `--target` is specified, DCR builds for all targets in `build.targets` (or native if empty).
+
+### Target-Specific Settings
+
+Override settings for specific targets:
+
+```toml
+[build.linux]
+compiler = "gcc"
+cflags = ["-Wall", "-O2"]
+
+[build.macos]
+compiler = "clang"
+cflags = ["-Wall", "-O2", "-arch", "x86_64"]
+
+[build.windows]
+compiler = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
+ldflags = ["-static"]
+```
+
+### Target-Specific Toolchain
+
+Configure toolchain per target:
+
+```toml
+[toolchain.linux]
+cc = "gcc"
+ld = "ld"
+
+[toolchain.macos]
+cc = "clang"
+ld = "ld"
+
+[toolchain.windows]
+cc = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
+ld = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld"
+```
+
+### Target-Specific Run Commands
+
+Use custom run commands per target:
+
+```toml
+[run.linux]
+cmd = "./target/linux/release/myapp"
+
+[run.macos]
+cmd = "open ./target/macos/release/myapp.app"
+
+[run.windows]
+cmd = "wine ./target/windows/release/myapp.exe"
+```
+
+## Workspace and Dependencies Inheritance
+
+Workspace and dependencies sections also support target/profile inheritance:
+
+```toml
+[workspace.linux]
+members = [
+  { name = "lib1", path = "libs/lib1" },
+]
+
+[dependencies.linux]
+sdl2 = { system = true, include = ["/usr/include/SDL2"] }
+
+[dependencies.windows]
+sdl2 = { system = true, include = ["C:/SDL2/include"] }
+```
+
+Order: `workspace.target.profile` → `workspace.profile.target` → `workspace.target` → `workspace.profile` → `workspace`.
+
+Add `inherit = false` to disable inheritance in any section.
+
+Settings are applied in order:
+1. `[build.<target>]`
+2. `[build.<profile>]`
+3. `[build]`
+
+### Toolchain Configuration
+
+For cross-compilation, configure toolchains:
+
+```toml
+[toolchain]
+cc = "aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc"
+cxx = "aarch64-linux-gnu-g++"
+ar = "aarch64-linux-gnu-ar"
+ld = "aarch64-linux-gnu-ld"
+```
+
+## Output Structure
+
+Build outputs are organized by target:
+
+```
+target/
+├── native/
+│   ├── debug/
+│   └── release/
+├── x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/
+│   ├── debug/
+│   └── release/
+└── aarch64-linux-gnu/
+    ├── debug/
+    └── release/
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Cross-compilation requires appropriate toolchains installed (e.g., `aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc` on Arch Linux).
+- For Windows targets on Linux, install MinGW: `pacman -S mingw-w64-gcc`.
+- For macOS targets on Linux, use `osxcross` or similar.
+
+## Examples
+
+### ARM Linux Build
+
+```bash
+# Install toolchain (Arch Linux)
+pacman -S aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc
+
+# Configure
+echo '[build.aarch64-linux-gnu]
+compiler = "aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc"' >> dcr.toml
+
+# Build
+dcr build --target aarch64-linux-gnu --release
+```
+
+### Windows Build on Linux
+
+```bash
+# Install toolchain (Arch Linux)
+pacman -S mingw-w64-gcc
+
+# Configure
+echo '[build.windows]
+compiler = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"' >> dcr.toml
+
+# Build
+dcr build --target windows --release
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Toolchain not found**: Ensure the compiler is installed and in PATH, or configure `[toolchain]` in `dcr.toml`. For Arch Linux: `pacman -S aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc` for ARM, `pacman -S mingw-w64-gcc` for Windows cross-compilation.
+- **Linking errors**: Check `ldflags` and library paths for cross-compilation.
+- **Header issues**: Include paths may differ; use target-specific `cflags`.
+
+For more help, see [Troubleshooting map](troubleshooting-map.md).

+# Dependency format

+Dependencies are defined in `dcr.toml` under `[dependencies]`.
+

+```toml
+[dependencies]
+fmt = { path = "./third_party/fmt", include = ["include"], lib = ["lib"], libs = ["fmt"] }

+
+## Field reference
+
+- `path`: required dependency root path.
+- `include`: optional include subpaths (absolute or relative to dep root).
+- `lib`: optional library subpaths (absolute or relative to dep root).
+- `libs`: optional linker library names.
+
+## Common valid compact form
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+mylib = { path = "./libs/mylib" }
+```
+
+In this form DCR will try defaults for include/lib dirs and use `mylib` as the linker library name.

+# Local dependencies
+
+## Resolution flow during build
+
+For each dependency in `[dependencies]`, DCR:
+
+1. Resolves `path` (absolute or project-relative).
+2. Resolves include dirs (`include` or default `include`).
+3. Resolves lib dirs (`lib` or defaults `lib`, `lib64`).
+4. Resolves link libs (`libs` or dependency name).
+5. Synchronizes dependency files to `target/<profile>/deps/<dep-name>/`.
+6. Adds include/lib/link options to compile/link commands.
+
+### Profile placeholders
+
+`path`, `include`, and `lib` entries may use `{profile}` which expands to the active profile
+(`debug` or `release`).
+
+## Failure cases
+
+- Dependency path is missing or not a directory.
+- No valid include/lib directories were found.
+- Any configured include/lib path does not exist.
+- Invalid field types in dependency config.

+# Target directory
+
+By default, DCR writes final artifacts to `target/<target>/<profile>/` (where `<target>` is `native` or target triple).
+
+You can override this with `build.target`:

+```toml
+[build]
+target = "./dist"

+
+## Behavior
+
+- Binary mode:
+  - Linux/macOS: `<target>/<name>`
+  - Windows: `<target>/<name>.exe`
+- Static library mode:
+  - Linux/macOS: `<target>/lib<name>.a`

+## Important detail

+`build.target` changes only the final artifact location. Object cache and dependency sync directories still use `target/<target>/<profile>/...`.

+# Versioning & lock file
+
+DCR generates `dcr.lock` when dependency resolution succeeds and at least one dependency exists.
+
+## What is stored
+
+- Project entry (`name`, `version`, dependency names).
+- One entry per resolved dependency:
+  - `name`
+  - `version` (from dependency `dcr.toml`, fallback `0.0.0`)
+  - `source` (`path+...`)
+  - `checksum` (SHA-256 over dependency files, excluding nested `target/`).

+[[package]]
+name = "my-app"
+version = "0.1.0"
+dependencies = ["fmt"]

+## Notes

+- `dcr.lock` is rewritten on successful dependency resolution.
+- If `[dependencies]` is empty, lock generation is skipped.

+
+## Option 3: Arch Linux (AUR)
+
+```sh
+yay -S dcr
+```
+
+(You can also use `paru` or other AUR helpers.)
+
+## Verify installation
+
+```sh
+dcr --version
+```
+
+Expected format:

+
+## Update policy
+
+- If DCR was installed from GitHub releases, scripts, or manual build: use `dcr --update`.
+- If DCR is managed by `pacman/AUR`: update via package manager. On Linux, `dcr --update` detects pacman-owned binaries and prints a package-manager hint.

+# FAQ
+
+## What commands are available?
+
+`new`, `init`, `build`, `run`, `clean`, `gen`, `--help`, `--version`, `--update`.
+
+## Is `dcr.toml` mandatory?
+
+Yes, for `build`, `run`, and `clean`.
+
+## What source files are compiled?
+
+DCR scans `src/` recursively:
+
+- for C: `*.c`
+- for C++: `*.cpp`, `*.cxx`, `*.cc`
+
+## Can I switch compiler?
+
+Yes. Set `build.compiler` in `dcr.toml` (for example `gcc`, `clang`, `cl`, `clang-cl`).
+
+## How does incremental rebuild work?
+
+It compares source file mtime with object file mtime.
+Header dependencies are tracked too: if an included header changes (or disappears), rebuild is triggered.
+
+## What does `dcr run` do if build fails?
+
+It tries to run an existing binary from the selected profile; if none exists, it reports an error.
+
+## How do I update DCR?
+
+Use `dcr --update` for non-package-managed installs.
+
+If installed through pacman/AUR, update via package manager.

+# Troubleshooting map
+
+Fast mapping from symptom to likely cause and first action.
+
+## `dcr.toml file not found`
+
+Likely cause:
+- you are outside project root (or member root).
+
+First action:
+```sh
+pwd
+ls
+```
+Run DCR from directory that contains `dcr.toml`.
+
+## `Invalid config: missing [package]` / `missing [build]`
+
+Likely cause:
+- incomplete config in root project.
+
+First action:
+- ensure root `dcr.toml` includes `[package]`, `[build]`, and `[dependencies]`.
+- for workspace setups, keep these sections in root and add `[workspace]` additionally.
+
+## `Unknown build flag` or profile-flag errors
+
+Likely cause:
+- typo in flag or duplicate profile flag.
+
+First action:
+```sh
+dcr --help
+```
+Use only supported flags and at most one of `--debug` / `--release`.
+
+## Dependency include/lib path errors
+
+Likely cause:
+- path in `[dependencies]` does not exist.
+
+First action:
+- verify `path`, `include`, `lib` values.
+- if using profile placeholders, confirm expanded paths exist for selected profile.
+
+## `Cannot run library build`
+
+Likely cause:
+- `build.kind` is `staticlib` or `sharedlib`.
+
+First action:
+- switch `build.kind` to `bin`, or set `[run].cmd` if you intentionally need custom run command.
+
+## Build succeeds but output is stale
+
+Likely cause:
+- stale artifacts or generated files from previous runs.
+
+First action:
+```sh
+dcr clean --all
+dcr build --force
+```
+
+## `dcr --update` suggests package manager update
+
+Likely cause:
+- DCR binary is managed by pacman/AUR.
+
+First action:
+```sh
+yay -Syu dcr
+# or
+paru -Syu dcr
+```

+# Workspace guide
+
+`[workspace]` lets you build related DCR projects in dependency order from one root.
+
+## Important rule
+
+Workspace root still needs a valid root project config:
+
+- `[package]`
+- `[build]`
+- `[dependencies]`
+
+`[workspace]` augments that root config; it does not replace required root sections.
+
+## Minimal example
+
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "root-app"
+version = "0.1.0"
+
+[build]
+language = "c"
+standard = "c11"
+compiler = "clang"
+kind = "bin"
+
+[dependencies]
+
+[workspace]
+core = { path = "./modules/core", deps = [] }
+net = { path = "./modules/net", deps = ["core"] }
+app = { path = "./modules/app", deps = ["core", "net"] }
+```
+
+Each member path must point to a directory containing its own `dcr.toml`.
+
+## Build behavior
+
+- Running `dcr build` in workspace root builds members in topological dependency order, then builds the root project.
+
+- Running `dcr clean --all` in workspace root cleans all members too.
+
+- `dcr gen` in workspace root includes root + members in generated outputs.
+
+## Common errors
+
+- `workspace.<name>.path does not contain dcr.toml`:
+  member path is wrong or config is missing.
+- `workspace dependency '<name>' not found`:
+  `deps` references unknown member.
+- `workspace dependency cycle at <name>`:
+  cyclic dependencies in member graph.

+# AUR publishing
+
+This repository includes an automated AUR publish workflow:
+- package files: `packaging/aur/dcr/PKGBUILD`, `packaging/aur/dcr/.SRCINFO`
+- workflow: `.github/workflows/aur.yml`
+
+## One-time setup
+
+1. Create the `dcr` package on AUR and initialize its git repository.
+2. Create an SSH key pair for CI.
+3. Add the public key to your AUR account.
+4. Add the private key to GitHub Actions secret `AUR_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`.
+
+## Release flow
+
+1. Bump project version in `Cargo.toml`.
+2. Push tag `v<version>` (example: `v0.2.2`).
+3. GitHub Actions will:
+- compute source tarball SHA256
+- render `PKGBUILD` and `.SRCINFO`
+- push updates to `ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/dcr.git`
