- ### `equals`
580
+ ### `equalsDeep`
581
+
582
+ Recursive structural array equality.
583
+
584
+ Two arrays are equal when they have the same length and each pair of
585
+ elements at the same index is structurally equal:
586
+ - Arrays recurse with `equalsDeep`.
587
+ - Plain objects recurse key-by-key with structural comparison.
588
+ - `Date` instances are compared by their epoch value.
589
+ - All other values use strict equality (`===`), which means `NaN !== NaN`
590
+ and special objects (Map, Set, RegExp, Promise, class instances\u2026) are
591
+ compared by reference.
592
+
593
+ For positional one-level comparison use equalsShallow. For
594
+ order-independent comparison use equalsUnordered.
595
+
596
+ ```typescript
597
+ import { equalsDeep } from '@helpers4/array';
598
+
599
+ equalsDeep<T>(arrA: readonly T[], arrB: readonly T[]): boolean
600
+ ```
601
+
602
+ **Parameters:**
603
+
604
+ - `arrA: readonly T[]` — First array to compare
605
+ - `arrB: readonly T[]` — Second array to compare
606
+
607
+ **Returns:** `boolean` — `true` if arrays are deeply equal, `false` otherwise.
608
+
609
+ **Examples:**
610
+
611
+ *Compare nested arrays*
612
+
613
+ Deeply compares two arrays including nested structures.
614
+
615

631
+ ### `equalsShallow`
500
632
 
501
- Simple helper that checks if two lists are identical.
502
- The order of elements in the list is not important.
633
+ Positional, one-level (shallow) array equality.
634
+
635
+ Two arrays are equal when they have the same length and each pair of
636
+ elements at the same index satisfies strict equality (`===`). No
637
+ recursion: nested arrays/objects are compared by reference.
638
+
639
+ For recursive structural comparison use equalsDeep. For
640
+ order-independent comparison use equalsUnordered.
503
641
 
504
642

505
- import { equals } from '@helpers4/array';
643

  ```
509
647
 
510
648
  **Parameters:**
511
649
 
512
- - `arr1: T[]` — One list
513
- - `arr2: T[]` — Another list
650
+ - `arrA: readonly T[]` — First array to compare
651
+ - `arrB: readonly T[]` — Second array to compare
514
652
 
515
- **Returns:** `boolean` — `true` if the list contain the same items, `false` otherwise.
653
+ **Returns:** `boolean` — `true` if every element matches by `===` at the same index, `false` otherwise.

  **Examples:**
518
656
 
519
657
  *Compare identical arrays*
520
658
 
521
- Returns true when both arrays contain the same elements, regardless of order.
659
+ Uses JSON.stringify for a fast shallow comparison.
660
+
661
+ ```typescript
662
+ equalsShallow([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3])
663
+ // => true
664
+ ```
665
+
666
+ *Detect order differences*
667
+
668
+ Unlike equals, equalsShallow is order-sensitive.
669
+
670
+ ```typescript
671
+ equalsShallow([1, 2], [2, 1])
672
+ // => false
673
+ ```
674
+
675
+ ---
676
+
677
+ ### `equalsUnordered`
678
+
679
+ Order-independent (set-style) array equality.
680
+
681
+ Two arrays are considered equal when they have the same length and every
682
+ element of `arr1` has at least one structural match in `arr2` (and vice
683
+ versa via the length check). Nested arrays are compared recursively with
684
+ the same order-independent semantics. Nested plain objects are compared
685
+ with equalsShallow from `object/`. All other values use strict
686
+ equality (`===`).
687
+
688
+ Use this when the inputs represent unordered collections (sets, tags…).
689
+ For positional equality use equalsShallow or equalsDeep
690
+ from this category.
691
+
692
+ ```typescript
693
+ import { equalsUnordered } from '@helpers4/array';
694
+

1411
+
1412
+ ### `analyzeCommits`
1413
+
1414
+ Analyses a list of commits to suggest a semantic version bump.
1415
+
1416
+ Each commit is parsed via `parseConventionalCommit`. The body is also
1417
+ scanned for `BREAKING CHANGE:` / `BREAKING-CHANGE:` markers. The bump rule
1418
+ is:
1419
+
1420
+ - any breaking change → `'major'`
1421
+ - otherwise any `feat` → `'minor'`
1422
+ - otherwise any `fix` → `'patch'`
1423
+ - otherwise (non-empty list of non-conventional commits) → `'patch'`
1424
+ - empty list → `'patch'` with reason "No commits to analyse"
1425
+
1426
+ ```typescript
1427
+ import { analyzeCommits } from '@helpers4/commit';
1428
+
1429
+ analyzeCommits(commits: readonly AnalyzableCommit[]): CommitAnalysis
1430
+ ```
1431
+
1432
+ **Parameters:**
1433
+
1434
+ - `commits: readonly AnalyzableCommit[]` — Iterable of commits to analyse. Only `subject` is required.
1435
+
1436
+ **Returns:** `CommitAnalysis` — Aggregated analysis with the suggested bump and reason.
1437
+
1438
+ **Examples:**
1439
+
1440
+ *Suggest a semver bump from a list of commits*
1441
+
1442
+ Walks through commits and suggests `major`, `minor`, or `patch` based on Conventional Commits.
1443
+
1444
+ ```typescript
1445
+ analyzeCommits([
1446
+ { subject: 'feat: add login' },
1447
+ { subject: 'fix: handle null' },
1448
+ ])
1449
+ // => { suggestedBump: 'minor', hasFeatures: true, hasFixes: true, ... }
1450
+ ```
1451
+
1452
+ *Promote to major on breaking change*
1453
+
1454
+ A `!` marker or a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer always promotes the suggestion to `major`.
1455
+
1456
+ ```typescript
1457
+ analyzeCommits([{ subject: 'feat!: drop v1 API' }]).suggestedBump
1458
+ // => 'major'
1459
+ ```

1463
+ ### `buildConventionalCommitRegex`
1464
+
1465
+ Builds a regular expression matching the **subject line** of a Conventional
1466
+ Commits message.
1467
+
1468
+ The returned regex exposes four capture groups:
1469
+
1470
+ 1. type
1471
+ 2. scope (or `undefined` when absent)
1472
+ 3. breaking marker (`'!'` or `undefined`)
1473
+ 4. description
1474
+
1475
+ ```typescript
1476
+ import { buildConventionalCommitRegex } from '@helpers4/commit';
1477

1492
+
1493
+ ```typescript
1494
+ const regex = buildConventionalCommitRegex();
1495
+ regex.test('feat(api): add endpoint') // => true
1496
+ regex.test('not a commit') // => false
1497
+ ```
1498
+
1499
+ *Restrict accepted types and require a scope*
1500
+
1501
+ Constrain accepted types and force the scope segment to be present.
1502
+
1503
+ ```typescript
1504
+ const regex = buildConventionalCommitRegex({
1505
+ types: ['feat', 'fix'],
1506
+ requireScope: true,
1507
+ });
1508
+ regex.test('feat(api): x') // => true

+ ### `curry`
3122
+
3123
+ Transforms a multi-argument function into a chain of single-argument functions
3124
+ (Haskell-style currying). Supports up to 5 arguments.
3125
+
3126
+ The inverse operation of applying all arguments at once:
3127
+ `curry(fn)(a)(b)` is equivalent to `fn(a, b)`.
3128
+
3129
+ ```typescript
3130
+ import { curry } from '@helpers4/function';
3131
+
3132

3214
+ clamp0to100(-5); // => 0
3215
+ clamp0to100(150); // => 100
3216
+ ```

3219
+
3220
+ ### `debounce`
3221
+
3222
+ Creates a debounced function that delays invoking func until after delay milliseconds have elapsed since the last time the debounced function was invoked
3223
+
3224
+ ```typescript
3225
+ import { debounce } from '@helpers4/function';
3226
+
3227

3233
+ - `delay: number` — The number of milliseconds to delay
3234
+
3235
+ **Returns:** `function` — The debounced function
3236
+
3237
+ **Examples:**
3238
+
3239
+ *Debounce a function*
3240
+
3241
+ The debounced function is only called once after the delay, even if invoked multiple times.
3242
+
3243
+ ```typescript
3244
+ const fn = debounce((x: number) => console.log(x), 100);
3245
+ fn(1);
3246
+ fn(2);
3247

+ ---
3252
+
3253
+ ### `flip`
3254
+
3255
+ Creates a function that invokes `fn` with the first two arguments swapped.
3256
+
3257
+ Useful when adapting a function for use in higher-order pipelines where the
3258
+ argument order is reversed (e.g. passing a binary callback to `reduce`).
3259
+
3260
+ ```typescript
3261
+ import { flip } from '@helpers4/function';
3262

+ flip(sub)(3, 10); // => 7 (10 - 3)
3281
+ ```
3282
+
3283
+ *Adapt a divide function*
3284
+
3285
+ Useful for adapting binary callbacks in higher-order functions.
3286
+
3287
+ ```typescript
3288
+ const divide = (a: number, b: number) => a / b;
3289
+ const divideInto = flip(divide);

3318
 
2571
3319
  ```typescript
2572
- ```ts
2573

3393
+ ```
3394
+
3395
+ *Use as a filter predicate*
3396

3881
+ // => "019077e0-5c70-7b3a-8a1f-3e4d5b6c7d8e"
3882
+ ```
3883
+
3884
+ *UUIDs are chronologically sortable*
3885
+
3886
+ UUID v7 values generated later are lexicographically greater, making them ideal for database primary keys.
3887
+
3888
+ ```typescript
3889
+ const id1 = uuid7();
3890
+ // ... later ...
3891
+ const id2 = uuid7();
3892
+ id1 < id2 // => true
3893
+ ```
3894
+
3895
+ *Each UUID is unique*
3896
+
3897
+ No two calls produce the same value.
3898
+
3899
+ ```typescript
3900
+ uuid7() !== uuid7() // => true
3901
+ ```

- ### `uuid7`
2714
-
2715
- Generates a UUID v7 string (RFC 9562).
2716
- UUID v7 embeds a Unix timestamp in milliseconds, making it
2717
- chronologically sortable while retaining randomness.
4070
+ Checks whether a number falls within `[min, max]` (both inclusive by default).
2718

2738
- *UUIDs are chronologically sortable*
4089
+ *Check if a value is within bounds (inclusive)*
2739
4090
 
2740

+ ### `equalsShallow`
4580
+
4581
+ One-level (shallow) object equality.
4582
+
4583
+ Two objects are equal when they share the exact same set of own
4584
+ enumerable string keys and each pair of values satisfies strict equality
4585
+ (`===`). No recursion: nested objects/arrays are compared by reference.
4586
+
4587
+ Falls back to strict equality when either input is `null`, `undefined`
4588
+ or not an object \u2014 so primitives match if and only if they are `===`.
4589
+ Arrays are not supported; they always return `false` (unless identical
4590
+ references). Use `array/equalsShallow` instead.

+ ### `groupBy`
4662
+
4663
+ Groups an array of items by a key derived from each item.
4664
+
4665
+ A thin, typed wrapper around `Object.groupBy` (ES2024) that works on
4666
+ older targets and provides stricter return-type inference.
4667
+
4668
+ ```typescript
4669
+ import { groupBy } from '@helpers4/object';
4670
+
4671
+ groupBy<T, K extends PropertyKey>(items: readonly T[], keyFn: function): Partial<Record<K, T[]>>
4672
+ ```
4673
+
4674
+ **Parameters:**
4675
+
4676
+ - `items: readonly T[]` — The array to group
4677
+ - `keyFn: function` — Function that returns the group key for each item
4678
+
4679
+ **Returns:** `Partial<Record<K, T[]>>` — A record mapping each key to the array of items with that key
4680
+
4681
+ **Examples:**
4682
+
4683
+ *Group numbers by parity*
4684
+
4685
+ Groups elements by the string key returned by the callback.
4686
+
4687
+ ```typescript
4688
+ groupBy([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n % 2 === 0 ? 'even' : 'odd')
4689
+ // => { odd: [1, 3], even: [2, 4] }
4690
+ ```
4691
+
4692
+ *Group objects by a property*
4693
+
4694
+ Use a property accessor as the grouping key.
4695
+
4696
+ ```typescript
4697
+ const users = [
4698
+ { name: 'Alice', role: 'admin' },
4699
+ { name: 'Bob', role: 'user' },
4700
+ { name: 'Carol', role: 'admin' },
4701

4734
+ ```
4735
+
4736

+ ### `defer`
5220
+
5221
+ Runs an async function and guarantees that all deferred callbacks are
5222
+ executed afterwards, in LIFO order (last registered = first executed),
5223
+ regardless of whether the main work succeeds or throws.
5224
+
5225
+ Inspired by Radashi's `defer`. Useful for resource cleanup, temporary file
5226
+ removal, or any "undo" logic that must run even on failure.
5227
+
5228
+ ```typescript
5229
+ import { defer } from '@helpers4/promise';
5230
+
5231
+ defer<T>(fn: function): Promise<T>
5232
+ ```
5233
+
5234
+ **Parameters:**
5235
+
5236
+ - `fn: function` — An async function that receives a `defer` registration function.
5237
+
5238
+ **Returns:** `Promise<T>` — The resolved value of `fn`.
5239
+
5240
+ **Examples:**
5241
+
5242
+ *Cleanup always runs*
5243
+
5244
+ Registered callbacks execute after the main function, even on success.
5245
+
5246
+ ```typescript
5247
+ const result = await defer(async (d) => {
5248
+ d(() => console.log('cleanup'));
5249
+ return 42;
5250
+ });
5251
+ // logs: 'cleanup' — result is 42
5252
+ ```
5253
+
5254
+ *LIFO order*
5255
+
5256
+ Multiple callbacks are called in reverse registration order.
5257
+
5258
+ ```typescript
5259
+ await defer(async (d) => {
5260
+ d(() => console.log('step 1'));
5261
+ d(() => console.log('step 2'));
5262
+ d(() => console.log('step 3'));
5263
+ });
5264
+ // logs: 'step 3', 'step 2', 'step 1'
5265
+ ```
5266
+
5267
+ *Cleanup runs even on failure*
5268
+
5269
+ Callbacks still execute when the main function throws; the error is re-thrown after.
5270
+
5271
+ ```typescript
5272
+ const releaseLock = () => console.log('lock released');
5273

+ ### `leadingSentence`
6123
+
6124
+ Extracts the leading sentence from a string.
6125
+
6126
+ A sentence boundary is detected at the first occurrence of `.`, `?`, `!`,
6127
+ `…`, or `;` followed by whitespace or end of string. Newlines are collapsed
6128
+ to spaces before matching.
6129
+
6130
+ If no boundary is found the entire (cleaned) string is returned.
6131
+
6132
+ To cap the result at a maximum length, combine with truncate:

6369
+ Interpolates `{{key}}` placeholders in a template string with values from
6370
+ a data record. Unknown keys are replaced with an empty string.
6371
+
6372
+ No `eval` or `Function` constructor is used — substitution is purely
