 # StateQL
 
 StateQL is a stateful database CLI and TypeScript library for AI agents and
-automation. It provides a safe interface for querying, changing, and inspecting
-SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis databases while keeping results
-reusable and operations traceable across commands.
+automation. Query, change, and inspect databases while keeping results reusable
+and operations traceable across commands.
 
-StateQL is built around durable handles:
+- **SQL:** SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
+- **Native commands:** MongoDB (EJSON) and Redis (JSON).
+- **Durable handles:** reuse, filter, page, count, alias, or export stored results
+  without rerunning the original query.
+- **Tracked writes:** inspect operations, review plans, and stage transactions
+  where supported by the database.
 
-1. Run a query and receive a result handle such as `q_k7m2v5x9c3d6f8h4j2n7p5r9tw`.
-2. Reuse, filter, page, count, alias, or export that stored result without
-   rerunning the original SQL.
-3. Use operation, plan, and transaction handles to inspect and control writes.

-
-## Connections and profiles
-
-A connection accepts exactly one source: a direct target, `--env`,
-`--credential-ref`, or `--profile`. Library and batch callers may additionally
-attach `passwordRef`/`password_ref` to a literal password-free remote target;
-it is not a fourth source.
-
-```bash
-stql connect <sqlite-path|postgres-url|mysql-url|mongodb-url> [--name NAME] [--read-write]
-stql connect --env ENV [--name NAME] [--read-write]
-stql connect --credential-ref REF [--name NAME] [--read-write]

 ```
 
-### Environment-backed credentials
-
-PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB credentials should come from environment
-variables. The variable must contain the complete connection URL, not only its
-password. Environment-backed SQLite paths require an explicit `sqlite:` prefix.
-
-```bash
-export APP_DATABASE_URL='postgres://user:password@host/app'
-stql connect --env APP_DATABASE_URL --name app --read-only
-
-export MYSQL_DATABASE_URL='mysql://user:password@host/app'
-stql connect --env MYSQL_DATABASE_URL --name mysql-app --read-only
-
-export MONGODB_URL='mongodb://user:password@host/app'
-stql connect --env MONGODB_URL --name mongo-app --read-only
-
-export SQLITE_DATABASE='sqlite:./app.sqlite'
-stql connect --env SQLITE_DATABASE --name local --read-only
-```
-
-StateQL stores no PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis password.
-Credential-bearing URLs must be supplied through `--env` or an opaque full-URL
-credential reference. SQLite paths remain persisted as connection metadata.
-
-### Local profiles
-
-Profiles store exactly one connection target, environment-variable name, or
-opaque credential reference together with read-only policy. A remote literal
-target may additionally store a `password_ref`; SQLite, environment-backed, and
-full-URL `credential_ref` profiles cannot. Credential values are never stored.
-Profiles persist under `STQL_HOME` with other StateQL metadata, and list/show
-responses include nullable `credential_ref` and `password_ref` fields.
-
-```bash
-stql profile add local ./app.sqlite --read-write
-stql profile add production --env PROD_DATABASE_URL --read-only
-stql profile add hosted --credential-ref 'vault://team/app' --read-only
-stql profile list
-stql profile show production
-stql connect local
-stql connect --profile production
-```
-
-Credential references are bounded nonempty opaque strings; StateQL does not
-apply environment-variable syntax or normalization to them. They can only be
-resolved by a trusted host `CredentialResolver`, so the standalone CLI may
-store them in profiles but cannot connect with them.
-
-Library callers can keep nonsecret endpoint, username, database, TLS, and CA
-options in the literal URL while resolving only its password:
-
-```ts
-await stateql.connect(
-  "postgres://app@db.example/app?sslmode=verify-full&sslrootcert=/etc/app-ca.pem",
-  { passwordRef: "vault://database/app/password", readOnly: true },
-);
-```
-
-The same field is accepted by `addProfile`, `updateProfile`, and batch
-`connect`/`profile.add`/`profile.update` commands (snake case in batch input).
-Targets with an embedded password or query parameters that override endpoint or
-credential fields are rejected before credential resolution or driver access.
-
-A bare connection target matching a profile name resolves to that profile;
-otherwise it remains a path or database URL.
-
-### Driver notes
-
-- **SQLite:** use a filesystem path for direct connections or `sqlite:` for an
-  environment-backed path.
-- **PostgreSQL:** StateQL preserves strict TLS verification by normalizing
-  `sslmode=prefer`, `require`, and `verify-ca` to `verify-full` before opening
-  the adapter. Use `sslmode=verify-full` explicitly for clarity. Setting
-  `uselibpqcompat=true` opts out and keeps libpq-compatible SSL semantics.
-- **MySQL:** uses positional `?` parameters. MariaDB compatibility is not
-  currently claimed.
-- **MongoDB:** supports `mongodb://` and `mongodb+srv://` URLs with an explicit
-  database path. SQL methods are rejected; use the native MongoDB methods below.

-
-### SQL parameters
-
-For shell-safe positional parameters, repeat `--param`. JSON scalars become
-their native types; other values remain strings.
-
-```powershell
-stql exec "INSERT INTO users (name, status) VALUES (?, ?)" `
-  --param Ada --param trial
-```
-
-Use `--params JSON` for a JSON array or named parameters. Use
-`--params-file FILE` when JSON is awkward to quote; `--params-file -` reads
-JSON from standard input.
-
-### PostgreSQL diagnostics and maintenance
-
-Run PostgreSQL plans through `query`:
-
-```bash
-stql query "EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS, FORMAT JSON) SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE id = 42"
-```
-
-Plain `EXPLAIN` may plan a structurally validated `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`,
-or `DELETE`. Because `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` executes its inner statement, StateQL
-accepts only a validated read-only `SELECT`; `SELECT INTO`, writing CTEs, and
-mutations are rejected. Diagnostics execute inside PostgreSQL `BEGIN READ ONLY`
-and are never reused from cache. `--cache require` therefore returns
-`CACHE_MISS` without executing the diagnostic.
-
-`VACUUM`, `ANALYZE`, `REINDEX`, and `CLUSTER` are PostgreSQL maintenance writes:
-
-```bash
-stql exec "VACUUM (ANALYZE) public.jobs" --allow-destructive
-stql plan "REINDEX TABLE public.jobs" --allow-destructive
-```
-
-They require a read-write connection and `--allow-destructive`, reject StateQL
-parameters, and run as individually tracked autocommit operations. They cannot
-be staged in a StateQL transaction. A timeout or cancellation after dispatch is
-reported as `OUTCOME_UNKNOWN`; inspect database state before replaying it. Raw
-`BEGIN`, `COMMIT`, `ROLLBACK`, savepoint, and other transaction-control SQL
-remain unsupported—use `stql transaction` commands instead. See
-[`SQL_COMMAND_ROADMAP.md`](SQL_COMMAND_ROADMAP.md) for the exact implemented
-boundary and deferred command categories.
-
-### Native MongoDB
-
-MongoDB commands use official Extended JSON (EJSON), so BSON values survive the
-CLI boundary:
-
-```bash
-stql mongo query '{"operation":"find","collection":"users","filter":{"_id":{"$oid":"507f1f77bcf86cd799439011"}}}'
-stql mongo exec '{"operation":"updateOne","collection":"users","filter":{"_id":{"$oid":"507f1f77bcf86cd799439011"}},"update":{"$set":{"seen_at":{"$date":"2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}}}'
-stql mongo plan '{"operation":"deleteMany","collection":"users","filter":{"disabled":true}}' --allow-destructive
-```
-
-The TypeScript equivalents are `mongoQuery(command)`, `mongoExec(command)`, and
-`mongoPlan(command)`. Supported reads are `find` and `aggregate`; writes are
-`insertOne`, `insertMany`, `updateOne`, `updateMany`, `replaceOne`, `deleteOne`,
-and `deleteMany`. Result documents are JSON-safe, order-preserving EJSON: for example,
-ObjectIds and dates appear as `{ "$oid": "..." }` and
-`{ "$date": { "$numberLong": "..." } }`.
-
-Empty update, replacement, or delete filters require `--allow-unbounded`;
-deletes and replacements also require `--allow-destructive`. Mongo inspection accepts `collections`,
-`collection`, `columns`, `indexes`, and `constraints` (`schema` and `table`
-remain aliases shared with SQL drivers). MongoDB cache confidence is TTL-based:
-external writes are not detected, so use `--cache bypass` for a fresh read.
-
-```ts
-const result = await stateql.mongoQuery({
-  operation: "find",
-  collection: "users",
-  filter: { active: true },
-  options: { sort: { _id: 1 }, limit: 50 },
-});
-```
-### Output modes
-
-CLI output defaults to compact, one-line `agent` JSON. Successful responses
-flatten useful data and expose the primary durable ID as `handle`. Errors retain
-their complete error object. Empty warnings and tracing metadata are omitted.
-
-```json
-{"ok":false,"error":{"code":"UNBOUNDED_MUTATION","message":"Mutation has no WHERE clause.","retryable":false,"executed":false,"override_flag":"--allow-unbounded"}}
-```
-
-Other modes are:
-
-- `--output json`: original pretty, verbose envelope.
-- `--output jsonl`: verbose envelope on one line.
-- `--output text`: short human-readable status.
-- `--output silent`: only a successful handle.
-
-Set `STQL_OUTPUT` to choose a mode globally. For `export`, `--output` names the
-file, so use `STQL_OUTPUT` to choose the command's response mode. Library
-responses always keep the full envelope.
-
-### Deadlines and cancellation
-
-Database commands accept `--timeout-ms N`; the default is 30,000 ms. `Ctrl+C`
-cancels active work.
-
-- SQLite runs in a killable child process so long synchronous statements cannot
-  block StateQL's event loop.
-- PostgreSQL combines server-side `statement_timeout` with client deadlines.
-- MySQL deadlines destroy the active connection.
-- MongoDB uses driver deadlines and closes stopped operations.
-
-A timed-out or cancelled write may return `OUTCOME_UNKNOWN` when its commit
-status cannot be proven. Cancellation stops that command's driver work; it does
-not close the `StateQL` actor, and later commands remain usable.
-
-## Durable state and result reuse
-
-State metadata lives under `STQL_HOME`, or the platform data directory when
-unset. StateQL keeps connections, sessions, handles, aliases, cache entries,
-plans, transactions, history, and receipts available across CLI invocations.
-
-### Sessions and actors
-
-Set `STQL_SESSION` to select a named session and `STQL_ACTOR` to select an
-attached actor. A session is a shared workspace: attached actors reuse its
-connection, handles, aliases, cache, and state version. Plans and staged
-transactions remain owned by the actor that created them.
-
-Callers that omit `actor` keep the legacy behavior where the actor ID is the
-session name.
-
-### Result lifetime and limits
-
-SQLite result rows are materialized locally for durable access. Read cache
-entries expire after five minutes, and materialized handles expire after 24
-hours. Expired results and plans are deleted the next time StateQL opens.
-
-Queries exceeding 10,000 rows or 16 MiB of serialized row data fail before
-persistence. Narrow the `WHERE` clause, add `LIMIT`, or select fewer columns.
-These caps bound persisted materialization; the independent deadline bounds
-execution time.
-
-Command history keeps the latest 10,000 entries per session. SQLite cache reuse
-also checks the database file signature. PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB cache
-reuse is labeled `ttl_based` and is never authoritative.
-
-StateQL limits persisted result payloads to 256 MiB by default. When that quota
-is reached it removes the oldest unaliased results; aliases remain protected. A
-single result that cannot fit fails with `STATE_QUOTA_EXCEEDED`. Configure the
-limit with `maxStateBytes` in the library or `--max-state-bytes` in the CLI.
-Cache and result retention can be configured with `cacheTtlSeconds` and
-`resultTtlSeconds`, or their `--cache-ttl-seconds` and
-`--result-ttl-seconds` CLI equivalents.
-
-`stql doctor` checks SQLite integrity and stored payload shapes without printing
-SQL, parameters, or result values. `stql purge` removes expired data by default;
-use `results`, `history`, or `all` for explicit session cleanup. On POSIX
-systems, StateQL removes group and world access from its state directory,
-database, and SQLite sidecar files.
-
-### Local filtering
-
-`filter` evaluates one scalar SQLite predicate against a stored result. It
-preserves source order, state metadata, and expiry, and never accesses the
-original database.
-
-Use parameters for values. Subqueries, query-shaping clauses, and
-non-allowlisted functions are rejected. Common deterministic functions such as
-`lower`, `upper`, `length`, and `coalesce` are supported.
-
-## Write safety
-
-Destructive and unbounded operations require `--allow-destructive` and
-`--allow-unbounded`, respectively. The flags are independent.
-
-`plan` validates and stores a write for later application. A plan persists only
-the flags explicitly supplied when it is created; `apply` never adds
-authorization.
-
-Use an idempotency key to protect retryable writes from duplicate execution:
+Use the handle returned by your query in place of the example handle below.
+Give the snapshot a readable alias, then work with the stored data:
 
 ```bash
-stql exec "UPDATE jobs SET claimed = 1 WHERE id = ?" \
-  --param 42 \
-  --idempotency-key claim-job-42
+stql alias set active-users q_k7m2v5x9c3d6f8h4j2n7p5r9tw
+stql rows active-users --offset 0 --limit 10
+stql count active-users
+stql export active-users --output active-users.csv --format csv
+stql filter active-users "email LIKE ?" --param "%@example.com"
 ```
 
-If a write starts but StateQL cannot safely record its final outcome, it returns
-`OUTCOME_UNKNOWN` and blocks automatic replay. Inspect database state before
-using `--replay`. Interrupted commits remain fail-closed; stale `committing`
-records become `outcome_unknown` after five minutes.
+These commands do not access the original database. `filter` creates a new
+snapshot with its own handle. Repeating a query can reuse a valid cached result;
+use `--cache bypass` when a fresh database read is required.
 
-### Transactions
+## Safety and state
 
-Transactions are staged in local state so they survive CLI invocations, then
-executed atomically on commit. While a transaction is active, StateQL rejects
-database reads, plans, connection changes, and disconnects. Commit or roll back
-first.
+- Connections are **read-only by default**. Writes require a read-write connection.
+- Destructive and unbounded SQL/MongoDB operations require independent
+  `--allow-destructive` and `--allow-unbounded` approvals, respectively.
+- `plan` stores a write for review; `apply` never adds authorization. Use
+  idempotency keys to protect retryable writes from duplicate execution.
+- A write reported as `OUTCOME_UNKNOWN` must be inspected at the database before
+  replaying it. Transactions are staged locally, not live interactive SQL
+  transactions.
+- Supply credential-bearing URLs through environment variables or a trusted
+  library credential resolver, not literal command arguments or profiles.
+- Results and history persist under `STQL_HOME` (or the platform data directory).
+  Treat that state as database data; retention and size limits are configurable.
 
-SQLite supports `serializable`. PostgreSQL and MySQL also support
-`repeatable read`, `read committed`, and `read uncommitted`. Server reads run
-inside database-enforced read-only transactions. MySQL staged transactions
-reject DDL because MySQL implicitly commits those statements.
-MongoDB transactions use `snapshot` isolation and require a replica set or
-sharded deployment; standalone servers do not support them.
+See [write safety](docs/usage.md#write-safety),
+[credentials](docs/usage.md#environment-backed-credentials), and
+[database restrictions](docs/databases.md) before using production data.
 
-## Batch and pipes
+## Documentation
 
-`batch` reads a JSON array from a `.json` file or JSONL from a `.jsonl` file.
-`pipe` reads JSONL from standard input. Commands run sequentially and stop on
-the first error unless `--continue-on-error` is set. Output defaults to one
-compact `agent` JSON object per line.

-  '{"command":"query","sql":"SELECT id, email FROM users ORDER BY id","as":"users"}' \

-  {
-    "command": "exec",
-    "sql": "UPDATE jobs SET claimed = 1 WHERE id = ?",
-    "params": [42],
-    "idempotency_key": "claim-job-42"
-  },
-  {
-    "command": "query",
-    "sql": "SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE id = ?",
-    "params": [42]
-  }
-]
-```
+## TypeScript installation
 
 ```bash
-stql batch commands.json
-```
-
-Batch fields use snake case. Supported command names match CLI paths, such as
-`filter`, `transaction.begin`, `session.summary`, `alias.set`, `plan`, and
-`apply`. Native MongoDB batches use `mongo.query`, `mongo.exec`, or `mongo.plan`
-with the command object in `mongo`; the same cache, replay, idempotency, safety,
-and timeout fields apply. Database commands may set `timeout_ms`; otherwise they
-use the 30-second default.
-
-## TypeScript library
-
-The package exports the same stateful operations for programmatic use. Library
-responses retain the full response envelope regardless of the configured CLI
-output mode.
-
-```ts
-import { StateQL } from "@fadhilp/stateql";
-
-const stateql = StateQL.forActor({
-  home: "./.stql",
-  actor: "pi-session-id",
-  timeoutMs: 30_000,
-  credentialTimeoutMs: 120_000,
-  maxResultBytes: 16 * 1024 * 1024,
-  maxStateBytes: 256 * 1024 * 1024,
-});
-
-const controller = new AbortController();
-const response = await stateql.query("SELECT * FROM users", {
-  signal: controller.signal,
-  timeoutMs: 5_000,
-});
-
-if (response.ok) {
-  const handle = (response.data as { result_id: string }).result_id;
-  await stateql.filter(handle, "email LIKE ?", {
-    params: ["%@example.com"],
-  });
-}
-```
-
-Hosts that dispatch batch-shaped commands can attach trusted metadata out of
-band. `origin` is audit/source metadata only; it never changes actor membership,
-workspace access, or write authorization.
-
-```ts
-const controller = new AbortController();
-await stateql.executeCommand(
-  { command: "query", sql: "SELECT * FROM users", cache: "bypass" },
-  { origin: "user", signal: controller.signal },
-);
-
-const userHistory = await stateql.history(50, { origin: "user" });
-await stateql.executeCommand(
-  { command: "history", limit: 50, history_origin: "user" },
-  { origin: "model" },
-);
-```
-
-Supported origins are `legacy`, `user`, `model`, `system`, and `api`. Existing
-direct calls and `executeCommand(command)` calls are recorded as `legacy`.
-`history_origin` is only a retrieval filter; putting an `origin` field in a
-`BatchCommand` cannot attribute the command. `batch` accepts the same trusted
-context as `options.executionContext` for all commands in that batch.
-
-### Actor workspaces
-
-`StateQL.forWorkspace(...)` is a trusted-host primitive that atomically creates
-or reopens a durable workspace, attaches the requested actor, and returns a
-client bound to that actor:
-
-```ts
-const stateql = StateQL.forWorkspace({
-  home: "./.stql",
-  workspace: "pylon-global",
-  actor: "pylon-session:abc123",
-  credentialResolver,
-  signal,
-});
-```
-
-Repeated opens of the same actor and workspace are idempotent. An actor already
-attached elsewhere fails with a `StateQLError` whose code is
-`PERMISSION_DENIED`; StateQL never moves or merges it. All actor options,
-including limits, credential resolution, cancellation, `home`, and `now`, are
-preserved. The workspace name also reserves a same-named actor identity for
-legacy compatibility, so workspace and actor identifiers must be globally
-collision-free. The returned client is still bound only to `actor`, preserving
-plan, transaction, operation, and history ownership.
-
-`StateQL.forActor(...)` retains its existing behavior: it resolves the actor's
-attached session directly from StateQL storage and creates a legacy-compatible
-session named after the actor on first use. Use `new StateQL({ session, actor })`
-when the session and membership are already known.
-
-Membership management and `forWorkspace` are library-only host capabilities,
-not batch or CLI commands. Existing member-authorized management remains
-available through `linkActor(session, actorId)`, `unlinkActor(session, actorId)`,
-`listActors(session)`, and `resolveActor(actorId)`. Integrations should ask for
-user confirmation before changing membership or the shared connection; a host
-calling `forWorkspace` is responsible for authorizing that workspace access.
-
-### Harness credential resolution
-
-Library integrations can resolve environment-variable names, opaque full-URL
-credential references, or password-only references through a trusted approval
-or secret-storage layer instead of mutating `process.env`:
-
-Integrations pinned to an older published package should gate setup before
-sending `password_ref`:
-
-```ts
-if ((StateQL.passwordReferenceVersion ?? 0) < 1) {
-  throw new Error("Installed StateQL does not support password references.");
-}

-
-`passwordReferenceVersion = 1` guarantees the password-only resolver request,
-validation, persistence, reconnect, and redaction contract documented below.
-
-```ts
-import {
-  CredentialResolutionError,
-  StateQL,
-  type CredentialRequest,
-} from "@fadhilp/stateql";
-
-async function resolveCredential(
-  request: CredentialRequest,
-): Promise<string | undefined> {
-  const approved = await credentialBroker.request({
-    reference: request.reference,
-    source: request.source ?? "secret_env",
-    actor: request.actorId,
-    session: request.session.id,
-    operation: request.operation,
-    access: request.access,
-    signal: request.signal,
-  });
-
-  if (approved.denied) throw new CredentialResolutionError("denied");
-  return approved.value;
-}
-
-const stateql = StateQL.forActor({
-  actor: "agent-session-id",
-  credentialResolver: resolveCredential,
-});
-```
-
-Credential resolution has its own two-minute default deadline
-(`credentialTimeoutMs`) and remains cancellable through `request.signal`.
-The database-operation timeout begins after a credential is resolved.
-
-When no custom resolver is configured, StateQL reads only `secret_env`
-references from `process.env`; `credential_ref` and `password_ref` never fall
-back to the environment. A configured resolver is authoritative for all
-sources: returning `undefined` produces `CREDENTIAL_UNAVAILABLE` and never falls
-back to the process environment. Resolver requests retain `reference` and
-include `source` (`secret_env`, `credential_ref`, or `password_ref`); source may
-be omitted only on legacy secret-environment request objects. A `password_ref`
-request additionally includes the exact password-free effective `target`.
-Resolvers may throw `CredentialResolutionError` with `denied`, `cancelled`,
-`timeout`, or `unavailable` to produce controlled, secret-free failures. Unknown
-resolver errors are replaced with a generic `CREDENTIAL_RESOLUTION_FAILED`
-response.
-
-StateQL calls the resolver only immediately before database access, after SQL
-safety and duplicate checks. Requests contain actor and session identity, the
-operation's effective read/write access, an abort signal, and sanitized
-connection metadata.
-
-For `secret_env` and `credential_ref`, returned values must be complete
-PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis URLs, or explicit `sqlite:` sources. For
-`password_ref`, the resolver returns only the password; an explicit empty string
-is a resolved password, while `undefined` fails closed. StateQL percent-encodes
-and injects only that password into the original target for adapter use, leaving
-all nonsecret URL/TLS/CA bytes unchanged. It persists only the original target
-and reference. Resolved credentials never enter connection metadata, history,
-snapshots, cache keys, responses, or stored errors.
-
-Harnesses remain responsible for approval policy, binding lifetime, revocation,
-and keeping values out of their own logs and model-visible data.
-
-For writes, credential resolution happens after StateQL atomically reserves the
-operation for duplicate protection. A resolution failure keeps a non-executed
-`failed` audit record, does not consume the idempotency key, and permits a safe
-retry.

-### Result identities and aliases
-
-Every materialized SQL, MongoDB, Redis, table, or derived result keeps its
-immutable canonical `q_*` `result_id`. New canonical resource IDs use a
-cryptographically random 26-character lowercase base32 suffix; existing
-incremental IDs such as `q_121` remain valid and are not rewritten. Results also
-receive a random 10-character lowercase base32 `display_alias`.
-`ResultData.alias` normally equals that alias. When a batch command supplies
-`as`, `alias` remains the caller alias for backward compatibility while
-`display_alias` remains canonical. Generated aliases are session-scoped,
-allocated atomically with the result, stable on cache reuse, and cannot be
-reassigned by `setAlias`; explicit aliases and all old handles continue to
-resolve.
-
-Connections likewise retain canonical `conn_*` IDs with random 26-character
-suffixes and receive persistent random 10-character lowercase base32 aliases,
-exposed as `alias` and `display_alias` by `connect()` and
-`snapshot().connection` (optional in snapshot types for older producers).
-Connection aliases are unique within the state store, allocated atomically with
-the connection, and backfilled for existing records on startup. They survive
-reopening; reconnecting creates a new ID and alias. They are display identities
-only, separate from result aliases; internal references and lookups continue to
-use canonical connection IDs.
-
-### Safe profile updates
-
-```ts
-updateProfile(name, {
-  target?: string | null,
-  secretEnv?: string | null,
-  credentialRef?: string | null,
-  passwordRef?: string | null,
-  readOnly?: boolean,
-})
-```
-
-Omitting all source and password-reference fields keeps the existing source and
-adjunct reference. Supplying any source field replaces the source atomically:
-exactly one non-null source is required and the other source columns are
-cleared. An omitted `passwordRef` is preserved when the existing literal target
-is unchanged; changing the target clears it unless the update explicitly supplies
-a replacement. Replacing the source with `secretEnv` or `credentialRef` clears
-it. An explicit non-null password reference combined with either
-reference-backed source is rejected. Direct URLs
-with embedded passwords or secret-like query parameters are rejected.
-`profile.list/show/update` return only
-`{profile,target,secret_env,credential_ref,password_ref,read_only}`. Profile
-changes affect subsequent `connect` calls and do not silently mutate an
-already-open connection.
-
-The `password_refs_v1` migration adds nullable `password_ref` columns to both
-profiles and connections and enforces that they accompany only literal target
-configuration. It rejects incompatible profile schemas/rows instead of dropping
-references. Downgrading a state home containing password references is
-unsupported: older binaries do not resolve this source and may attempt the
-password-free target using ambient/trust authentication; constraint-protected
-source replacements may also fail. Use the same or newer StateQL binary, or
-explicitly clear all password references before downgrade.
-
-### Bounded catalog
-
-```ts
-listObjects(
-  { kind?, schema?, search?, offset?, limit? },
-  { timeoutMs?, signal? },
-) -> { objects, next_offset, supported_kinds }
-
-describeObject(
-  { kind, schema?, name, identity? },
-  { timeoutMs?, signal? },
-) -> { object, definition? }
-```
-
-SQL/MongoDB offsets are non-negative numbers; limits default to 50 and are at
-most 200. Redis `offset` and `next_offset` are opaque numeric SCAN cursor strings;
-its limit is a SCAN `COUNT` hint with a hard 200-item response bound. Redis pages
-are not snapshots and can be empty or contain duplicates while keys change.
-Search is a case-insensitive name substring for SQL/MongoDB and escaped glob
-substring matching for Redis. No exact counts are forced.
-
-Supported kinds are returned on every page: SQLite `table,view,trigger`;
-PostgreSQL `table,view,function,trigger,enum`; MySQL
-`table,view,function,trigger`; MongoDB `collection,view`; Redis `key`.
-PostgreSQL function identities include identity arguments, so overloads remain
-distinct. `describeObject` is read-only and requires the structured identity;
-legacy `inspect` behavior is unchanged (and intentionally unavailable for Redis).
-
-### Reviewed multi-row table edits
-
-```ts
-planTableUpdates(
-  Array<{ row_token: string; changes: { set?: object; unset?: string[] } }>,
-  options?,
-) -> PlanData
-```
-
-Batches contain 1-100 distinct row identities and at most 256 KiB. All tokens,
-connection/state versions, expiries, metadata, editable columns, and values are
-validated before one plan is stored; expiry is the earliest token expiry.
-`apply(plan_id)` executes all conditional row updates in one SQLite/PostgreSQL/
-MySQL transaction and requires every row predicate to match, otherwise all are
-rolled back. MongoDB uses one snapshot transaction and rejects deployments that
-do not support transactions. Redis and active staged StateQL transactions are
-rejected. The existing `planTableUpdate` and `apply` APIs remain supported.
-Plans are actor-owned, claimed once, and retained as non-replayable when the
-remote commit outcome is uncertain.
-
-### Redis native commands
-
-Redis/Rediss URLs support URL database selection, password or ACL username,
-and TLS (`rediss`). Credential-bearing URLs must come from `secretEnv` or
-`credentialRef`. Native methods accept `{command: string, args?: string[]}`:
-
-- `redisQuery`: `GET`, `MGET`, `TYPE`, `EXISTS`, `TTL`, `PTTL`, `HGET`, `HMGET`,
-  bounded `LRANGE`, and bounded `SCAN`/`HSCAN`/`SSCAN`/`ZSCAN`.
-- `redisExec` and `redisPlan`: one-key `SET`, `DEL`, `HSET`, `HDEL`, `LPUSH`,
-  `RPUSH`, `SADD`, `SREM`, `ZADD`, or `ZREM` mutation.
-- `describeObject({kind:"key",name})`: bounded string/hash/list/set/zset value
-  inspection with TTL and continuation metadata where applicable.
-
-Arguments are UTF-8 strings, at most 100 values/256 KiB; materialized replies are
-at most 1 MiB. `KEYS`, scripts, modules, pub/sub, blocking commands, admin/flush,
-and arbitrary commands are rejected. Key discovery always uses SCAN. A Redis
-plan snapshots one bounded key and `apply` uses an isolated `WATCH` + one-command
-`MULTI/EXEC`; a pre-apply content or expiry change returns `ROW_CONFLICT` and is
-never retried automatically. Direct `redisExec` has Redis single-command
-atomicity only. Redis has no SQL rollback or StateQL staged transaction support;
-a lost write/EXEC reply is reported as `OUTCOME_UNKNOWN` and remains blocked.
-
-### Lean history
-
-```ts
-history(limit?, {
-  origin?,
-  category?: "statement" | "introspection" | "management",
-  internal?: boolean,
-  offset?: number,
-})
-```
-
-`category` and trusted-host `internal` filters are applied in SQLite before
-`ORDER BY`, `LIMIT`, and `OFFSET`, so introspection cannot starve statement
-history. `CommandExecutionContext.internal` is trusted host metadata and cannot
-be supplied inside a batch command. Existing calls and origin filtering remain
-compatible; old rows are classified from their command name and migrate as `internal: false`.
-
-The synchronous, non-mutating snapshot bridge accepts the same classification
-filters without entering the command queue or writing a history row:
-
-```ts
-stateql.snapshot({
-  historyLimit: 50,
-  historyCategory: "statement",
-  historyInternal: false,
-});
+npm install @fadhilp/stateql
 ```
 
-Both snapshot filters are applied by the store before `historyLimit`. Calling
-`snapshot()` with no options preserves the legacy 50-entry CLI snapshot.
+The package exports `StateQL` and public TypeScript types. Start with the
+[connected, cleanup-safe example](docs/library.md#getting-started).
