-<!-- ABOUT THE PROJECT -->
-
-## 📖 **About**
-
-Eases NodeJS <b>environment variable handling</b>, like [env-cmd](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-cmd) or [dotenv](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv), but with <b>powerfull features and extensibility</b> for adding custom providers (as plugins) for <u>load</u>, <u>pull</u> and <u>push</u> the variables from different stores.
-

-<!-- COMMANDS AND OPTIONS -->
-
-## ⚙️ **Commands & Options**
-
-Options handling has the ability of **replace arguments itself**, using `[[` and `]]` as delimiters.
-So, in example for define your config file path, you must use your _root_ argument,
-supposing root has the value of "config", this definition _`[[root]]/any-config-file.json`_ will be
-_`config/any-config-file.json`_, or if your _env_ argument is "dev", this definition
-_`[[root]]/config-file.[[env]].json`_ will be _`config/config-file.dev.json`_.

-
-## ✒ **Creating Custom Providers**
-
-You can create your custom providers, in two ways:
-
--   **Local Script**: you must create a JavaScript file (.js), exporting by default your "provider" following standard interface exported by this lib.
--   **NPM Package**: you must create your custom NPM library and export by default your "provider" using standard interface exported by this lib.
-
-How to load your provider is shown in Config Section.
-
-In example, a provider exported by your NPM package written in TypeScript should be like:
-
-```typescript
-import { CommandArguments, EnvProvider } from '@calvear/env';
-import { logger, readJson, writeJson } from '@calvear/env/utils';
-
-const KEY = 'my-unique-provider-key';
-
-interface MyProviderCommandArguments extends CommandArguments {
-	anyExtraOption: boolean;
-}
-
-export const MyProvider: EnvProvider<MyProviderCommandArguments> = {
-	// unique identifier for provider
-	key: KEY,
-
-	// (optional) allows to provider adds new arguments/options
-	// to commands using yargs for builder
-	builder: (builder) => {
-		builder.options({
-			anyExtraOption: {
-				group: KEY,
-				alias: ['a', 'aeo'],
-				type: 'boolean',
-				default: false,
-				describe: 'Any option description',
-			},
-		});
-	},
-
-	// call on environment variables loading,
-	// may be a Promise
-	load: ({ env, modes, ...options }) => {
-		if (env === 'dev')
-			return {
-				NODE_ENV: 'development',
-			};
-
-		// you can return a list of JSON environment variables for merge
-		return [
-			{
-				NODE_ENV: 'production',
-				ANY_VAR: 'ABC', // will be replaced by value below
-			},
-			{
-				ANY_VAR: 'ANY_VALUE',
-				ANY_GROUP: {
-					INNER_VAR: 12,
-				},
-			},
-		];
-	},
-
-	// (optional) call on pulling variables from provider store,
-	// config may pass in your config file
-	pull: ({ env, modes, ...options }, config) => {
-		// anyway you want for pulling variables to cache
-	},
-
-	// (optional) call on pushing/updating variables to provider store,
-	// config may pass in your config file
-	push: ({ env, modes, ...options }, config) => {
-		// anyway you should do for pushing or updating your variables
-	},
-};
-```
-
-<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p>
-
-<!-- CONFIG -->
-
-## 📥 **Config**
-
-You can configure any config argument inside you config file, but commonly providers are designed for this purpose.
-
-```javascript
-{
-	"log": "silly",
-	// will hide values of keys SECRET and MY_API_KEY in logging
-	"logMaskValuesOfKeys": ["SECRET", "MY_API_KEY"],
-	// integrated providers and custom providers together
-	"providers": [
-		{
-			"path": "package-json",
-			"type": "integrated"
-		},
-		{
-			"path": "app-settings",
-			"type": "integrated"
-		},
-		{
-			"path": "secrets",
-			"type": "integrated"
-		},
-		{
-			"path": "local",
-			"type": "integrated"
-		},
-		{
-			// custom NPM package
-			"path": "@npm-package",
-			"type": "module",
-			"config": {
-				"any-config": "any value"
-			}
-		},
-		{
-			// custom script inside project
-			"path": "scripts/custom-loader.js",
-			"type": "script"
-		}
-	]
-}

+<!-- ABOUT -->
+
+## 📖 About
+
+`@calvear/env` eases **environment variable handling** for NodeJS apps — like
+[env-cmd](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-cmd) or
+[dotenv](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv), but with **powerful, extensible
+features**: pluggable **providers** to `load`, `pull` and `push` variables from
+different stores, **JSON Schema validation**, value **interpolation**, secret
+**masking** and nested/shared keys.
+
+### ✨ Features
+
+- 🧩 **Provider plugins** — bundled `package-json`, `app-settings`, `secrets`
+  and `local` providers, plus your own (NPM package or local script).
+- 💉 **Injection** — load variables into `process.env` and run any command.
+- ✅ **JSON Schema** — auto-generate and validate variables before injecting.
+- 🪆 **Nested & shared keys** — `GROUP__VAR` flattening and `$`-prefixed shared
+  keys.
+- 🧵 **Interpolation** — reference other args/vars with `[[ ]]` delimiters.
+- 🙈 **Masking** — hide secret values in logs.
+- 📤 **Export** — write the unified environment to a `.env` or JSON file.

+## 📡 Providers
+
+Providers are the core of this library. It ships with **four integrated
+providers**, and you can add your own.
+
+### `package-json`
+
+Loads project info from your `package.json` (`version`, `project`, `name`,
+`title`, `description`) into `ENV`, `VERSION`, `PROJECT`, `NAME`, `TITLE`,
+`DESCRIPTION`.
+
+| Option              | Description                     | Type     | Default |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------- | -------- | ------- |
+| `--vp, --varPrefix` | Prefix for the loaded variables | `string` | `""`    |
+
+```bash
+# i.e. expose them as REACT_APP_* for CRA
+> env -e dev -m build : react-scripts build : --vp REACT_APP_
+```
+
+### `app-settings`
+
+Non-secret loader for `appsettings.json`, organized by sections:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+	"|DEFAULT|": { "VAR1": "v1_default" },
+	"|MODE|": {
+		"build": { "NODE_ENV": "production" },
+		"debug": { "NODE_ENV": "development" },

+			"C1": "V1",
+			"GROUP1": { "VAR2": "G1V2", "GROUP2": { "VAR1": "G1G2V1" } },
+		},
+	},
+	"|LOCAL|": { "dev": { "LOCAL_VAR": "only-local" } },
+}
+```
+
+| Option            | Description                   | Type     | Default                     |
+| ----------------- | ----------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------- |
+| `--ef, --envFile` | Non-secret settings file path | `string` | `[[root]]/appsettings.json` |
+
+### `secrets`
+
+Loads secret variables from a per-environment JSON file
+(`[[root]]/[[env]].env.json`). Keep this file out of version control.
+
+| Option                | Description                | Type     | Default                     |
+| --------------------- | -------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------- |
+| `--sf, --secretsFile` | Secret variables file path | `string` | `[[root]]/[[env]].env.json` |

+
+Loads local-only variables (never loaded in `--ci`). The file is auto-created
+if missing.
+
+| Option              | Description               | Type     | Default                           |

+
+<!-- CUSTOM PROVIDERS -->
+
+## ✒️ Creating custom providers
+
+Create a provider in two ways:
+
+- **Local script** — a `.js` file that `export default`s your provider.
+- **NPM package** — a published module that `export default`s your provider.
+
+Both are wired in the [config file](#-config) via the `providers` list. A custom
+provider can also implement `pull`/`push` to fetch and publish variables from a
+remote store (i.e. a vault, a secrets manager or an API).
+
+```typescript
+import type { CommandArguments, EnvProvider } from '@calvear/env';
+import { logger, readJson, writeJson } from '@calvear/env/utils';
+
+const KEY = 'my-unique-provider-key';
+
+interface MyProviderArguments extends CommandArguments {
+	anyExtraOption: boolean;
+}
+
+const MyProvider: EnvProvider<MyProviderArguments> = {
+	// unique identifier
+	key: KEY,
+
+	// (optional) add custom options to the CLI via yargs
+	builder: (builder) => {
+		builder.options({
+			anyExtraOption: {
+				group: KEY,
+				alias: ['a', 'aeo'],
+				type: 'boolean',
+				default: false,
+				describe: 'Any option description',
+			},
+		});
+	},
+
+	// called on load — may be sync or async, and may return a list to merge
+	load: ({ env }) => {
+		if (env === 'dev') return { NODE_ENV: 'development' };
+
+		return [{ NODE_ENV: 'production' }, { ANY_GROUP: { INNER_VAR: 12 } }];
+	},
+
+	// (optional) called on `env pull`
+	pull: (argv, config) => {
+		/* fetch variables into your local cache */
+	},
+
+	// (optional) called on `env push`
+	push: (argv, config) => {
+		/* publish/update your variables */
+	},
+};
+
+export default MyProvider;
+```
+
+<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p>
+
+<!-- CONFIG -->
+
+## 📥 Config
+
+Any CLI argument can be set in your config file
+(`[[root]]/settings/settings.json` by default), but it is mainly used to declare
+**providers**:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+	"log": "silly",
+	// hide values of these keys in the logs
+	"logMaskValuesOfKeys": ["SECRET", "MY_API_KEY"],
+	"providers": [
+		{ "path": "package-json" },
+		{ "path": "app-settings" },
+		{ "path": "secrets" },
+		{ "path": "local" },
+		// custom NPM package
+		{ "path": "@my-scope/my-provider", "type": "module", "config": {} },
+		// custom local script
+		{ "path": "scripts/custom-loader.js", "type": "script" },
+	],
+}
+```
+
+> **Provider order matters** — providers are merged in declaration order, so
+> later providers override earlier ones (`package-json` is the base, `local`
+> wins).
+
+<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p>
+
+<!-- SHARED / NESTED -->
+
+## 🪆 Shared & nested keys
+
+Organize keys in nested objects. Declare **shared** keys (skipping group
+separation) by prefixing them with `$`:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+	"$SHARED": "sharedValue",
+	"GROUP1": {
+		"$SHARED": "sharedValue2",
+		"VAR": "anyValue1",
+	},
+	"GROUP2": { "SUBGROUP1": { "VAR": "anyValue1" } },
+	"VAR3": "anyValue3",
+}
+```
+
+Consumed in your app as flattened keys (`__` separator by default):
+
+```javascript
+process.env.GROUP1__VAR; // "anyValue1"
+process.env.GROUP2__SUBGROUP1__VAR; // "anyValue1"
+process.env.VAR3; // "anyValue3"
+// shared keys drop the `$` and the group prefix
+process.env.SHARED; // "sharedValue"
+process.env.GROUP1__SHARED; // "sharedValue2"
+```
+
+### Priority (lowest → highest)
+
+1. `package-json` info
+2. `appsettings.json` (`app-settings`)
+3. `<env>.env.json` (`secrets`)
+4. `<env>.local.env.json` (`local`, skipped in `--ci`)
+
+<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p>
