-# Admin Generator
-
-Generate a complete admin CRUD interface for an existing model. The generator introspects the model at runtime to produce type-aware views, a namespaced controller with CSRF protection, and scoped routes.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- The model must already exist and be loadable by the running Wheels application
-- The Wheels application server must be running
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-wheels generate admin User
-wheels generate admin Product --force
-wheels generate admin Post --noRoutes
-```
-
-**Alias**: `wheels g admin User`
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Required | Default | Description |
-|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `name` | Yes | — | Model name (singular PascalCase, e.g., "User", "Product") |
-| `--force` | No | false | Overwrite existing files |
-| `--noRoutes` | No | false | Skip route injection into config/routes.cfm |
-
-## What It Generates
-
-For `wheels generate admin User`:
-
-1. **Controller**: `app/controllers/admin/Users.cfc`
-   - Full CRUD actions (index, show, new, create, edit, update, delete)
-   - CSRF protection via `protectsFromForgery()`
-   - Scoped under `admin` namespace
-
-2. **Views**: `app/views/admin/users/`
-   - `index.cfm` — List view with pagination
-   - `show.cfm` — Detail view
-   - `new.cfm` — New record form
-   - `edit.cfm` — Edit record form
-   - `_form.cfm` — Shared form partial (type-aware fields based on model introspection)
-
-3. **Routes** (unless `--noRoutes`): Injects scoped routes into `config/routes.cfm`
-   ```cfm
-   .namespace(name="admin")
-       .resources("users")
-   .end()
-   ```
-
-## Model Introspection
-
-The generator reads the model's properties and associations at runtime to produce type-appropriate form fields:
-- String properties → text fields
-- Text/long properties → textareas
-- Boolean properties → checkboxes
-- Date/datetime properties → date fields
-- Numeric properties → number fields
-- BelongsTo associations → select dropdowns

-# Controller Generation
-
-## Description
-Generate controller files with standard CRUD actions and proper REST structure using Wheels CLI commands.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `wheels g controller` to generate controller files
-- Specify actions to include in controller
-- Automatic REST action structure
-- Creates controller in `/app/controllers/` directory
-- Generates corresponding view templates
-
-## Code Sample
-```bash
-# Basic controller with standard REST actions
-wheels g controller Users index,show,new,create,edit,update,delete
-
-# Controller with custom actions
-wheels g controller Posts index,show,new,create,edit,update,delete,publish,archive
-
-# API-only controller
-wheels g controller Api::Users index,show,create,update,delete
-
-# Generated file: /app/controllers/Users.cfc
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Parameter verification
-        verifies(params="key", paramsTypes="integer", only="show,edit,update,delete");
-
-        // Content types
-        provides("html");
-    }
-
-    function index() {
-        users = model("User").findAll();
-    }
-
-    function show() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-    }
-
-    function new() {
-        user = model("User").new();
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        user = model("User").new(params.user);
-
-        if (user.save()) {
-            redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id, success="User created!");
-        } else {
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function edit() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-    }
-
-    function update() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-
-        if (user.update(params.user)) {
-            redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id, success="User updated!");
-        } else {
-            renderView(action="edit");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function delete() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-        user.delete();
-        redirectTo(route="users", success="User deleted!");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Run `wheels g controller ControllerName action1,action2,action3`
-2. Use plural controller names (Users, Posts, Products)
-3. Standard REST actions: index, show, new, create, edit, update, delete
-4. Edit generated file to customize logic
-5. Add filters, validations, and custom methods
-
-## Related
-- [MVC Controllers](../../core-concepts/mvc-architecture/controllers.md)
-- [Routing Resources](../../core-concepts/routing/resources.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Controller names should be plural (Users, not User)
-- Generates basic CRUD structure - customize for your needs
-- Creates corresponding view templates automatically
-- Includes parameter verification and error handling
-- Add authentication and authorization as needed

-# Migration Generation
-
-## Description
-Generate database migration files for schema changes, table creation, and data transformations using Wheels CLI.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `wheels g migration` to generate migration files
-- Descriptive names become migration class names
-- Automatic timestamp prefix for ordering
-- Support for table, column, and data migrations
-- Includes up() and down() methods for reversibility
-
-## Code Sample
-```bash
-# Create new table migration
-wheels g migration CreateUsersTable
-
-# Add column migration
-wheels g migration AddEmailToUsers --attributes="email:string:unique"
-
-# Remove column migration
-wheels g migration RemovePhoneFromUsers
-
-# Create index migration
-wheels g migration AddIndexToUsersEmail
-
-# Generated migration: /app/migrator/migrations/20240125143022_create_users_table.cfc
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            t = createTable(name="users", force=false);
-            t.string(columnNames="firstName,lastName", null=false);
-            t.string(columnNames="email", limit=100, null=false);
-            t.boolean(columnNames="active", default=true);
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-
-            addIndex(table="users", columnNames="email", unique=true);
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            dropTable("users");
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-# Column addition migration
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            addColumn(table="users", column="phoneNumber", type="string", limit=15);
-            addIndex(table="users", columnNames="phoneNumber");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            removeIndex(table="users", columnNames="phoneNumber");
-            dropColumn(table="users", columnNames="phoneNumber");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Run `wheels g migration MigrationName`
-2. Use descriptive names: `CreateUsersTable`, `AddEmailToUsers`
-3. Use `--attributes` for column specifications
-4. Edit generated file to add specific changes
-5. Always implement both up() and down() methods

-- [Column Types](../../database/migrations/column-types.md)
-- [Running Migrations](../../database/migrations/running-migrations.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Migration names become CFC class names
-- Always use transactions for data integrity
-- Test both up and down migrations
-- Use descriptive names for maintainability
-- Down method must reverse up method exactly

-// Email settings in /config/settings.cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // SMTP Configuration
-    set(mailServer="smtp.gmail.com");
-    set(mailPort=587);
-    set(mailUsername="your-email@gmail.com");
-    set(mailPassword="your-app-password");
-    set(mailUseTLS=true);
-    set(mailUseSSL=false);
-
-    // Default email settings
-    set(sendEmailOnError=true);
-    set(errorEmailAddress="admin@example.com");
-    set(sendEmailFromAddress="noreply@example.com");
-    set(sendEmailSubjectPrefix="[MyApp] ");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Configure SMTP settings in `/config/settings.cfm`
-2. Create email templates in `/app/views/[controller]/[template].cfm`
-3. Call `sendEmail()` with required parameters in controller actions
-4. Use dynamic content by passing variables to templates
-5. Handle email sending errors appropriately
-
-## Parameters
-- `to` (required) - Recipient email address(es), comma-separated
-- `subject` (required) - Email subject line
-- `template` (required) - Template path (controller/action format)
-- `from` - Sender email address (uses default if not specified)
-- `cc` - Carbon copy recipients
-- `bcc` - Blind carbon copy recipients
-- `replyTo` - Reply-to email address
-- `attachment` - File path(s) for attachments, comma-separated
-- Additional variables passed to template
-
-## Related
-- [View Templates](../views/layouts/structure.md)
-- [Configuration](../configuration/environments.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Templates support both HTML (.cfm) and plain text (.txt) versions
-- SMTP credentials should be stored securely (use environment variables)
-- Large attachments may cause timeout issues
-- Test email delivery in development with mail catcher tools
-- Use queuing systems for bulk email sending
-- Always validate email addresses before sending
-
-## Error Handling
-```cfm
-try {
-    sendEmail(
-        to=user.email,
-        subject="Important Notification",
-        template="notifications/important",
-        user=user
-    );
-
-    flashInsert(success="Email sent successfully");
-} catch (any e) {
-    // Log error and show user-friendly message
-    WriteLog(file="email", text="Failed to send email to #user.email#: #e.message#");
-    flashInsert(error="Unable to send email. Please try again later.");
-}
-```
-
-## Testing
-```cfm
-// Disable email sending in test environment
-if (get("environment") == "testing") {
-    set(sendEmailOnError=false);
-    set(mailServer=""); // Prevents actual email sending
-}
-
-// Use mail catcher in development
-if (get("environment") == "development") {
-    set(mailServer="localhost");
-    set(mailPort=1025);
-    set(mailUseTLS=false);
-}
-```
-
-## Security Best Practices
-- Validate all email addresses before sending
-- Sanitize user input in email content
-- Use authentication for SMTP servers
-- Implement rate limiting for email sending
-- Never expose SMTP credentials in code
-- Use secure connections (TLS/SSL) for SMTP

-        username: 'sa'
-    };
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Session Configuration
-
-### Basic Session Settings
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Enable session management
-    this.sessionManagement = true;
-    this.sessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0); // 30 minutes
-
-    // Session storage
-    this.sessionStorage = "memory"; // or "database", "registry"
-
-    // Session cookies
-    this.sessionCookie = {
-        httpOnly: true,
-        secure: true,
-        sameSite: "strict"
-    };
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Client Management
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Enable client management
-    this.clientManagement = true;
-    this.clientTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(90,0,0,0); // 90 days
-    this.clientStorage = "database"; // or "registry", "cookie"
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Security Settings
-
-### JSON Security
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Secure JSON responses
-    this.secureJSON = true;
-    this.secureJSONPrefix = "//";
-
-    // Script protection
-    this.scriptProtect = "all"; // or "none", "cgi", "form", "url", "cookie"
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### CSRF Protection
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Generate CSRF tokens
-    this.generateCSRFTokens = true;
-    this.csrfGenerateUniqueTokens = true;
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Path Mappings
-
-### Custom Tag Paths
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Add custom tag directories
-    this.customTagPaths = ListAppend(
-        this.customTagPaths,
-        ExpandPath("../customtags")
-    );
-    this.customTagPaths = ListAppend(
-        this.customTagPaths,
-        ExpandPath("../vendor/tags")
-    );
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Component Paths
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Add component directories
-    this.componentPaths = [
-        ExpandPath("../lib"),
-        ExpandPath("../vendor/components")
-    ];
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Application Mappings
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Create virtual mappings
-    this.mappings["/lib"] = ExpandPath("../lib");
-    this.mappings["/vendor"] = ExpandPath("../vendor");
-    this.mappings["/shared"] = ExpandPath("../shared");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Environment-Specific Configuration
-
-### Using Environment Variables
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Database configuration from environment variables
-    this.datasources['myapp'] = {
-        class: GetEnvironmentValue("DB_CLASS", "org.h2.Driver"),
-        connectionString: GetEnvironmentValue("DB_URL", "jdbc:h2:file:./db/app"),
-        username: GetEnvironmentValue("DB_USER", "sa"),
-        password: GetEnvironmentValue("DB_PASSWORD", "")
-    };
-
-    // Application name with environment suffix
-    this.name = "MyApp_" & GetEnvironmentValue("ENVIRONMENT", "dev");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Conditional Configuration
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Different settings based on server
-    if (FindNoCase("localhost", CGI.SERVER_NAME)) {
-        // Development settings
-        this.datasources['myapp'] = {
-            class: 'org.h2.Driver',
-            connectionString: 'jdbc:h2:file:./db/dev'
-        };
-    } else {
-        // Production settings
-        this.datasources['myapp'] = {
-            class: 'com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver',
-            connectionString: 'jdbc:mysql://prod-db:3306/myapp'
-        };
-    }
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use Environment Variables for Sensitive Data
-
-```cfm
-// Don't hardcode passwords
-this.datasources['myapp'].password = GetEnvironmentValue("DB_PASSWORD");
-```
-
-### 2. Set Appropriate Timeouts
-
-```cfm
-// Reasonable session timeout
-this.sessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0); // 30 minutes
-
-// Application timeout for memory management
-this.applicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0); // 1 day
-```
-
-### 3. Enable Security Features
-
-```cfm
-// Secure session cookies
-this.sessionCookie.httpOnly = true;
-this.sessionCookie.secure = true;
-
-// Secure JSON
-this.secureJSON = true;
-```
-
-### 4. Organize Multiple Datasources
-
-```cfm
-// Use descriptive names
-this.datasources['primary'] = { /* main app db */ };
-this.datasources['analytics'] = { /* reporting db */ };
-this.datasources['cache'] = { /* cache db */ };
-```

-
-## Configuration Best Practices
-
-### 1. Environment-Appropriate Settings
-
-```cfm
-// Different settings per environment
-// Development: debugging on, caching off
-// Production: debugging off, caching on, error emails
-// Testing: production-like caching with development-like error reporting
-```
-
-### 2. Secure Sensitive Data
-
-```cfm
-// Use environment variables for sensitive config
-set(dataSourcePassword = GetEnvironmentValue("DB_PASSWORD"));
-set(reloadPassword = GetEnvironmentValue("RELOAD_PASSWORD"));
-
-// Or use encrypted configuration files
-```
-
-### 3. Database Configuration Patterns
-
-```cfm
-// Multiple datasources
-this.datasources['primary'] = { /* main db */ };
-this.datasources['analytics'] = { /* analytics db */ };
-this.datasources['cache'] = { /* cache db */ };
-
-// Environment-specific datasources
-this.datasources['myapp'] = {
-    class: GetEnvironmentValue("DB_CLASS", "org.h2.Driver"),
-    connectionString: GetEnvironmentValue("DB_URL", "jdbc:h2:file:./db/app"),
-    username: GetEnvironmentValue("DB_USER", "sa"),
-    password: GetEnvironmentValue("DB_PASSWORD", "")
-};
-```
-
-### 4. Performance Tuning
-
-```cfm
-// Production performance settings
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(defaultCacheTime = 60);
-set(maximumItemsToCache = 10000);
-
-// Development convenience settings
-set(cacheActions = false);
-set(cacheControllerConfig = false);
-set(cacheModelConfig = false);
-```
-
-### 5. Function Defaults Organization
-
-```cfm
-// Group related function defaults
-// Form defaults
-set(functionName = "textField", class = "form-control");
-set(functionName = "textArea", class = "form-control");
-set(functionName = "select", class = "form-select");
-
-// Pagination defaults
-set(functionName = "findAll", perPage = 25);
-set(functionName = "paginationLinks", class = "pagination");
-
-// Link defaults
-set(functionName = "linkTo", encode = true);
-set(functionName = "buttonTo", class = "btn btn-primary");
-```
-
-## Configuration Organization
-
-### Logical Grouping
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-// === DATABASE CONFIGURATION ===
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp");
-set(dataSourceUserName = "dbuser");
-set(dataSourcePassword = "dbpass");
-set(tableNamePrefix = "");
-
-// === CACHING CONFIGURATION ===
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-set(defaultCacheTime = 60);
-
-// === SECURITY CONFIGURATION ===
-set(reloadPassword = "securePassword");
-set(csrfStore = "session");
-set(allowCorsRequests = false);
-
-// === ERROR HANDLING ===
-set(showDebugInformation = true);
-set(sendEmailOnError = false);
-set(errorEmailAddress = "admin@example.com");
-
-// === FORM DEFAULTS ===
-set(functionName = "textField", class = "form-control");
-set(functionName = "textArea", class = "form-control");
-set(functionName = "select", class = "form-select");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Documentation and Comments
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-// Custom application settings with detailed explanations
-set(enableAdvancedFeatures = true); // Enable beta features for testing
-set(maxFileUploadSize = 10); // Maximum file upload size in MB
-set(apiRateLimit = 1000); // API requests per hour per user
-set(sessionWarningTime = 5); // Minutes before session expiry to show warning
-set(passwordExpiryDays = 90); // Days before password must be changed
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Environment-Specific Best Practices
-
-### Development Environment
-
-```cfm
-// /config/development/settings.cfm
-<cfscript>
-// === DEBUGGING ===
-set(showDebugInformation = true);
-set(showErrorInformation = true);
-set(sendEmailOnError = false);
-
-// === CACHING (disabled for easier development) ===
-set(cacheActions = false);
-set(cachePages = false);
-set(cachePartials = false);
-set(cacheControllerConfig = false);
-set(cacheModelConfig = false);
-
-// === DATABASE ===
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_dev");
-
-// === ASSETS ===
-set(assetQueryString = false); // Disable for easier debugging
-set(compressCss = false);
-set(compressJs = false);
-
-// === DEVELOPMENT FEATURES ===
-set(allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl = true);
-set(reloadPassword = "dev123"); // Simple password for development
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Production Environment
-
-```cfm
-// /config/production/settings.cfm
-<cfscript>
-// === PERFORMANCE ===
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(defaultCacheTime = 120); // Longer cache time for production
-
-// === SECURITY ===
-set(showDebugInformation = false);
-set(showErrorInformation = false);
-set(allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl = false);
-set(reloadPassword = GetEnvironmentValue("PROD_RELOAD_PASSWORD"));
-
-// === ERROR HANDLING ===
-set(sendEmailOnError = true);
-set(errorEmailAddress = "alerts@myapp.com");
-set(excludeFromErrorEmail = "password,ssn,creditCard");
-
-// === DATABASE ===
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_prod");
-set(dataSourcePassword = GetEnvironmentValue("PROD_DB_PASSWORD"));
-
-// === CDN CONFIGURATION ===
-set(assetPaths = {
-    http: "cdn.myapp.com",
-    https: "secure-cdn.myapp.com"
-});
-
-// === MONITORING ===
-set(enablePerformanceMonitoring = true);
-set(logLevel = "ERROR"); // Only log errors in production
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Testing Environment
-
-```cfm
-// /config/testing/settings.cfm
-<cfscript>
-// === TESTING OPTIMIZATIONS ===
-set(cacheActions = true); // Cache for speed
-set(cacheQueries = true); // Cache queries for faster tests
-set(cachePages = false); // Don't cache pages (might interfere with tests)
-
-// === DATABASE ===
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_test");
-set(transactionMode = "rollback"); // Automatic rollback for test isolation
-
-// === DEBUGGING ===
-set(showDebugInformation = true); // Show debug info for test failures
-set(sendEmailOnError = false); // Don't send emails during testing
-
-// === TESTING FEATURES ===
-set(allowTestDataGeneration = true);
-set(resetDatabaseBetweenTests = true);
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-### Password Protection
-
-```cfm
-// Use strong, unique passwords
-set(reloadPassword = "ComplexPassword123!@#");
-
-// Use environment variables for production
-set(reloadPassword = GetEnvironmentValue("RELOAD_PASSWORD"));
-```
-
-### Database Security
-
-```cfm
-// Never hardcode database passwords
-set(dataSourcePassword = GetEnvironmentValue("DB_PASSWORD"));
-
-// Use read-only users for analytics
-this.datasources['analytics'] = {
-    username: GetEnvironmentValue("ANALYTICS_USER", "readonly_user"),
-    password: GetEnvironmentValue("ANALYTICS_PASSWORD")
-};
-```
-
-### Session Security
-
-```cfm
-// Secure session configuration
-this.sessionCookie = {
-    httpOnly: true,
-    secure: true,
-    sameSite: "strict"
-};
-
-// CSRF protection
-set(csrfStore = "session");
-set(csrfCookieEncryptionAlgorithm = "AES");
-```
-
-## Performance Best Practices
-
-### Caching Strategy
-
-```cfm
-// Aggressive caching for production
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(cacheRoutes = true);
-
-// Longer cache times for static content
-set(defaultCacheTime = 120); // 2 hours
-set(maximumItemsToCache = 10000);
-```
-
-### Database Optimization
-
-```cfm
-// Connection pooling
-this.datasources['myapp'].connectionLimit = 100;
-this.datasources['myapp'].connectionTimeout = 30;
-
-// Query optimization
-set(cacheQueriesDuringRequest = true);
-set(cacheQueryDataDuringRequest = true);
-```
-
-### Asset Optimization
-
-```cfm
-// CDN configuration
-set(assetPaths = {
-    http: "assets1.example.com,assets2.example.com",
-    https: "secure-assets.example.com"
-});
-
-// Compression
-set(compressCss = true);
-set(compressJs = true);
-set(assetQueryString = true); // Cache busting
-```
-
-## Maintenance and Monitoring
-
-### Error Handling
-
-```cfm
-// Comprehensive error reporting
-set(sendEmailOnError = true);
-set(errorEmailAddress = "alerts@myapp.com");
-set(errorEmailSubject = "[MyApp] Application Error");
-
-// Exclude sensitive data from error reports
-set(excludeFromErrorEmail = "password,creditCard,ssn,apiKey");
-```
-
-### Logging Configuration
-
-```cfm
-// Environment-specific logging levels
-// Development: DEBUG
-// Testing: INFO
-// Production: ERROR
-
-if (get("environment") == "production") {
-    set(logLevel = "ERROR");
-} else {
-    set(logLevel = "DEBUG");
-}
-```
-
-### Health Checks
-
-```cfm
-// Enable health check endpoints
-set(enableHealthChecks = true);
-set(healthCheckPassword = GetEnvironmentValue("HEALTH_CHECK_PASSWORD"));
-
-// Monitor critical systems
-set(monitorDatabase = true);
-set(monitorCache = true);
-set(monitorDiskSpace = true);
-```
-
-## Documentation Best Practices
-
-### Configuration Documentation
-
-```cfm
-/*
-=== MYAPP CONFIGURATION DOCUMENTATION ===
-
-This file contains the core configuration for the MyApp application.
-
-IMPORTANT SETTINGS:
-- dataSourceName: Must match the datasource defined in Application.cfc
-- reloadPassword: Required for application reloads in production

-
-ENVIRONMENT OVERRIDES:
-- development/settings.cfm: Disables caching, enables debugging
-- production/settings.cfm: Enables full caching, disables debugging
-- testing/settings.cfm: Optimized for automated testing
-
-LAST UPDATED: 2024-01-15
-MAINTAINED BY: Development Team
-*/
-```
-
-### Change Management
-
-```cfm
-// Version your configuration changes
-/*
-CONFIGURATION CHANGELOG:

-# Dependency Injection Container
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### Registration (config/services.cfm)
-```cfm
-var di = injector();
-di.map("name").to("dotted.component.Path");              // transient
-di.map("name").to("dotted.component.Path").asSingleton(); // singleton
-di.map("name").to("dotted.component.Path").asRequestScoped(); // per-request
-di.bind("IName").to("dotted.component.Path");             // interface alias (= map)
-```
-
-### Resolution
-```cfm
-service("name");                         // global helper — resolves from container
-injector();                              // returns the DI container reference
-injector().getInstance("name");          // direct container resolution
-injector().getInstance(name="x", initArguments={key: val}); // with explicit init args
-```
-
-### Controller inject()
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        inject("svcA, svcB");            // comma-delimited list
-    }
-    function myAction() {
-        this.svcA.doWork();              // resolved per-request on this.*
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Scopes
-
-| Scope | Chained Method | Cache Location | Lifetime |
-|-------|---------------|----------------|----------|
-| Transient | *(none)* | No cache | Per-call |
-| Singleton | `.asSingleton()` | `variables.singletons` | Application |
-| Request | `.asRequestScoped()` | `request.$wheelsDICache` | Single HTTP request |
-
-## Auto-Wiring
-
-When `initArguments` is empty, the container inspects `init()` parameter names via `getMetaData()`. If a parameter name matches a registered mapping (`containsInstance(paramName)`), it auto-resolves and injects it.
-
-**Precedence:** Explicit `initArguments` > auto-wired > plain `init()` with no args.
-
-## Error Types
-
-| Type | When |
-|------|------|
-| `Wheels.DI.NotInitialized` | `service()` or `injector()` called before app start |
-| `Wheels.DI.ServiceNotFound` | `service("name")` where name is not registered |
-| `Wheels.DI.CircularDependency` | Auto-wiring detects A→B→A cycle |
-| `Wheels.Injector` | `to()` called without preceding `map()` |
-
-## Introspection API
-
-```cfm
-di.containsInstance("name")   // boolean — mapping exists?
-di.isSingleton("name")        // boolean
-di.isRequestScoped("name")    // boolean
-di.getMappings()               // struct {name: componentPath, ...}
-```
-
-## Environment Overrides
-
-```
-config/services.cfm                          # base
-config/<environment>/services.cfm            # override (loaded after base)
-```
-
-## File Locations
-
-| File | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `vendor/wheels/Injector.cfc` | Container implementation |
-| `vendor/wheels/Global.cfc` | `service()` and `injector()` helpers |
-| `vendor/wheels/controller/services.cfc` | `inject()`, `injectedServices()`, `$resolveInjectedServices()` |
-| `vendor/wheels/Controller.cfc` | Initializes `$class.services`, calls `$resolveInjectedServices()` |
-| `vendor/wheels/events/onapplicationstart.cfc` | Loads `config/services.cfm` |
-| `config/services.cfm` | User service registrations |
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Service with dependencies (auto-wired)
-```cfm
-// app/lib/OrderService.cfc — init params match registered names
-component {
-    public OrderService function init(required any emailService, required any logger) {
-        variables.emailService = arguments.emailService;
-        variables.logger = arguments.logger;
-        return this;
-    }
-}
-
-// config/services.cfm
-di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService").asSingleton();
-di.map("logger").to("app.lib.AppLogger").asSingleton();
-di.map("orderService").to("app.lib.OrderService"); // auto-wires emailService + logger
-```
-
-### Testing with mock services
-```cfm
-// config/testing/services.cfm
-var di = injector();
-di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.MockEmailService").asSingleton();
-```

-# Environment Configuration
-
-## Description
-Configure different settings for development, testing, and production environments in Wheels applications.
-
-## Key Points
-- Set environment in `/config/environment.cfm`
-- Available environments: development, testing, production, maintenance
-- Override settings in `/config/[environment]/settings.cfm`
-- Environment-specific configuration for databases, debugging, caching
-- Use environment variables for sensitive information
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-<!-- /config/environment.cfm -->
-<cfscript>
-    // Set current environment
-    set(environment="development");
-
-    // Or set based on server conditions
-    if (FindNoCase("production", cgi.server_name)) {
-        set(environment="production");
-    } else if (FindNoCase("staging", cgi.server_name)) {
-        set(environment="testing");
-    } else {
-        set(environment="development");
-    }
-</cfscript>
-
-<!-- /config/settings.cfm - Global settings -->
-<cfscript>
-    // Database configuration
-    set(dataSourceName="myapp-dev");
-    set(dataSourceUserName="username");
-    set(dataSourcePassword="password");
-
-    // URL rewriting
-    set(URLRewriting="On");
-
-    // Debugging
-    set(showErrorInformation=true);
-    set(sendEmailOnError=false);
-
-    // Reload password
-    set(reloadPassword="mypassword");
-</cfscript>
-
-<!-- /config/development/settings.cfm -->
-<cfscript>
-    // Development-specific settings
-    set(dataSourceName="myapp-dev");
-    set(showErrorInformation=true);
-    set(showDebugInformation=true);
-    set(cachePages=false);
-    set(cachePartials=false);
-    set(cacheQueries=false);
-
-    // Migration settings
-    set(autoMigrateDatabase=true);
-    set(allowMigrationDown=true);
-</cfscript>
-
-<!-- /config/testing/settings.cfm -->
-<cfscript>
-    // Testing-specific settings
-    set(dataSourceName="myapp-test");
-    set(showErrorInformation=false);
-    set(showDebugInformation=false);
-    set(cachePages=false);
-
-    // Disable email in tests
-    set(sendEmailOnError=false);
-</cfscript>
-
-<!-- /config/production/settings.cfm -->
-<cfscript>
-    // Production-specific settings
-    set(dataSourceName="myapp-prod");
-    set(showErrorInformation=false);
-    set(showDebugInformation=false);
-    set(sendEmailOnError=true);
-
-    // Enable caching
-    set(cachePages=true);
-    set(cachePartials=true);
-    set(cacheQueries=true);
-
-    // Migration settings
-    set(autoMigrateDatabase=false);
-    set(allowMigrationDown=false);
-
-    // Security
-    set(csrfProtection=true);
-    set(obfuscateUrls=true);
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Set environment in `/config/environment.cfm`
-2. Configure global settings in `/config/settings.cfm`
-3. Override settings in environment-specific files
-4. Use environment variables for sensitive data
-5. Test configuration in each environment
-
-## Related
-- [Security Configuration](./security.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Environment determines which override settings load
-- Use environment variables for passwords and API keys
-- Test all environments before deployment
-- Production should disable debugging and enable caching
-- Keep sensitive data out of version control

-set(functionName = "paginationLinks", class = "pagination");
-
-// Form defaults
-set(functionName = "textField", class = "form-control");

-set(functionName = "select", class = "form-select");
-
-// Link defaults
-set(functionName = "linkTo", encode = true);
-set(functionName = "buttonTo", class = "btn btn-primary");
-
-// Image defaults
-set(functionName = "imageTag", class = "img-fluid");
-```
-
-## Environment-Specific Overrides
-
-### Development Settings Example
-
-```cfm
-// In /config/development/settings.cfm
-<cfscript>
-// Disable caching for development
-set(cacheActions = false);
-set(cachePages = false);
-set(cachePartials = false);
-
-// Show all debug information
-set(showDebugInformation = true);
-set(showErrorInformation = true);
-
-// Don't send error emails
-set(sendEmailOnError = false);
-
-// Development database
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_dev");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Production Settings Example
-
-```cfm
-// In /config/production/settings.cfm
-<cfscript>
-// Enable all caching
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(defaultCacheTime = 120);
-
-// Hide debug information
-set(showDebugInformation = false);
-set(showErrorInformation = false);
-
-// Send error emails
-set(sendEmailOnError = true);
-set(errorEmailAddress = "alerts@myapp.com");
-
-// Production database
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_prod");
-
-// Secure settings
-set(allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl = false);
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Group Related Settings
-
-```cfm
-// Group related function defaults
-// Form defaults
-set(functionName = "textField", class = "form-control");
-set(functionName = "textArea", class = "form-control");
-set(functionName = "select", class = "form-select");
-
-// Pagination defaults
-set(functionName = "findAll", perPage = 25);
-set(functionName = "paginationLinks", class = "pagination");
-```
-
-### 2. Use Environment Variables for Sensitive Data
-
-```cfm
-// Use environment variables for passwords
-set(dataSourcePassword = GetEnvironmentValue("DB_PASSWORD"));
-set(reloadPassword = GetEnvironmentValue("RELOAD_PASSWORD"));
-```
-
-### 3. Performance Tuning by Environment
-
-```cfm
-// Development: No caching for easier development
-// Testing: Minimal caching for faster feedback
-// Production: Full caching for performance
-```
-
-### 4. Security Hardening
-
-```cfm
-// Production security settings
-set(allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl = false);
-set(showDebugInformation = false);
-set(showErrorInformation = false);
-set(reloadPassword = "VerySecureRandomPassword");
-```

-# Multi-Tenancy
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### Tenant Struct Shape
-```cfm
-request.wheels.tenant = {
-    id: "acme",                    // string — tenant identifier
-    dataSource: "acme_ds",         // string — CFML datasource name (required)
-    config: {appName: "Acme Co"}, // struct — per-tenant setting overrides
-    $locked: true                  // boolean — set by middleware, prevents mid-request switching
-};
-```
-
-### Helper Functions
-
-| Function | Returns | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `tenant()` | struct | Current tenant struct, or `{}` if none active |
-| `$tenantDataSource()` | string | Tenant datasource, or app default if none active |
-| `switchTenant(tenant, force)` | void | Switch tenant mid-request; throws `Wheels.TenantLocked` if locked unless `force=true` |
-
-### Minimal Setup
-```cfm
-// config/settings.cfm
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="slug='#ListFirst(cgi.server_name, '.')#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Request Flow
-```
-HTTP Request
-  → TenantResolver.handle()
-      → $resolveTenant() via strategy (custom/header/subdomain)
-      → Sets request.wheels.tenant (with $locked=true)
-      → next(request) — controller dispatch
-          → model("X").findAll()
-              → $performQuery() checks request.wheels.tenant.dataSource
-              → Query runs against tenant DS (unless sharedModel)
-      → finally: StructDelete(request.wheels, "tenant")
-```
-
-### Database-Per-Tenant Model
-Each tenant gets its own database (or datasource). All models automatically route queries to the active tenant's datasource. Models marked with `sharedModel()` bypass this and always use the application default datasource.
-
-### The `$locked` Flag
-TenantResolver sets `$locked = true` to prevent accidental mid-request tenant switching. `switchTenant()` respects this flag unless called with `force=true`. This ensures queries within a single request are consistent.
-
-## Setup — Resolution Strategies
-
-### Custom Strategy (Default)
-Full control — your closure receives the request struct and returns a tenant struct.
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            var slug = ListFirst(cgi.server_name, ".");
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="slug='#slug#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) return {
-                id: t.id,
-                dataSource: t.dsName,
-                config: {appName: t.name, rewriteUrls: t.customDomain}
-            };
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-### Header Strategy
-Reads tenant identifier from an HTTP header. Requires a resolver to map the header value to a tenant struct.
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        strategy = "header",
-        headerName = "X-Tenant-ID",
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            var tenantId = req.cgi.http_x_tenant_id;
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="externalId='#tenantId#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-The header name is normalized to CGI format: `X-Tenant-ID` → `http_x_tenant_id`.
-
-### Subdomain Strategy
-Extracts the first subdomain segment from `cgi.server_name`. Requires at least 3 domain segments (e.g., `acme.myapp.com`). Pass a resolver to map the subdomain to a tenant struct.
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        strategy = "subdomain",
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            var subdomain = ListFirst(cgi.server_name, ".");
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="subdomain='#subdomain#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-Without a resolver, the subdomain strategy returns `{}` (no-op). The strategy determines *when* the resolver fires (only when subdomain conditions are met), while the resolver does the actual lookup.
-
-## Shared Models
-
-Models that live in a central database (not per-tenant) should call `sharedModel()` in their `config()`. See [Shared Models](../models/shared-models.md) for details.
-
-```cfm
-// app/models/Tenant.cfc
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();
-        hasMany(name="users");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Per-Tenant Config Overrides
-
-Include a `config` struct in the tenant to override application settings on a per-tenant basis. These keys take precedence over `$get()` for non-function settings.
-
-```cfm
-// In your resolver
-return {
-    id: t.id,
-    dataSource: t.dsName,
-    config: {
-        appName: t.companyName,
-        showDebugOutput: false,
-        perPage: 50
-    }
-};
-```
-
-Any call to `get("appName")` during that request returns the tenant-specific value instead of the application default. Function-scoped settings (e.g., `get(name="x", functionName="findAll")`) are not overridden.
-
-**Security denylist**: The following settings cannot be overridden per-tenant: `encryptionAlgorithm`, `encryptionSecretKey`, `encryptionEncoding`, `CSRFProtection`, `csrfStore`, `reloadPassword`, `obfuscateUrls`. Attempts to override these are silently ignored.
-
-## Accessing Tenant Context
-
-### `tenant()`
-Returns the current tenant struct, or `{}` if no tenant is active.
-
-```cfm
-// In a controller or view
-if (!StructIsEmpty(tenant())) {
-    writeOutput("Current tenant: #tenant().id#");
-}
-```
-
-### `$tenantDataSource()`
-Returns the current tenant's datasource name, or the application default if no tenant is active.
-
-```cfm
-var ds = $tenantDataSource(); // "acme_ds" or application default
-```
-
-### `switchTenant()`
-Switches the active tenant mid-request. Throws `Wheels.TenantLocked` if the current tenant was set by middleware, unless `force=true`.
-
-```cfm
-// Switch to a different tenant (e.g., for admin cross-tenant operations)
-switchTenant(tenant={id: "other", dataSource: "other_ds"}, force=true);
-```
-
-Throws `Wheels.InvalidTenant` if the struct is missing a `dataSource` key.
-
-## Gotchas
-
-1. **Resolver must return `dataSource`** — If the returned struct has no `dataSource` key (or it's empty), no tenant context is set. The request proceeds with the application default datasource.
-
-2. **Empty struct = no tenant** — Return `{}` from your resolver for unrecognized tenants. Don't throw — let the request proceed tenant-free.
-
-3. **Shared models need explicit marking** — Any model that lives in the central database must call `sharedModel()`. Without it, the model's queries route to the tenant datasource and may fail if the table doesn't exist there.
-
-4. **Associations don't cross datasources** — The calling model's datasource is used for the entire query, including JOINs. Don't `include` a shared model from a tenant model if they're in different databases.
-
-5. **`$locked` prevents switching** — `switchTenant()` throws unless you pass `force=true`. This is intentional — mid-request switching can cause data inconsistencies.
-
-6. **Cleanup is automatic** — TenantResolver uses a `finally` block to remove `request.wheels.tenant` after each request, even on errors.
-
-7. **Config overrides are non-function only** — `tenant.config` keys override `$get(name)` but not `$get(name, functionName)`. Function-scoped defaults remain unchanged.

-# Configuration Overview
-
-## Overview
-
-The `/config` directory contains all configuration files for your Wheels application. In Wheels 3.1.0+, configuration was moved from `/app/config` to the root-level `/config` directory for better organization and clearer separation of concerns. These files control application behavior, database connections, routing, environment settings, and framework-wide defaults.
-
-## File Structure and Purpose
-
-### Core Configuration Files
-
-```
-/config/
-├── app.cfm                    (Application.cfc this scope settings)
-├── environment.cfm            (Current environment setting)
-├── routes.cfm                 (URL routing configuration)
-├── settings.cfm               (Global framework settings)
-└── [environment]/
-    ├── development/
-    │   └── settings.cfm       (Development environment overrides)
-    ├── testing/
-    │   └── settings.cfm       (Testing environment overrides)
-    ├── maintenance/
-    │   └── settings.cfm       (Maintenance mode overrides)
-    └── production/
-        └── settings.cfm       (Production environment overrides)
-```
-
-### File Descriptions
-
-#### `app.cfm`
-Contains `this` scope variables for Application.cfc (application name, session settings, datasources, etc.)
-
-#### `environment.cfm`
-Sets the current environment (`development`, `testing`, `maintenance`, `production`)
-
-#### `settings.cfm`
-Global framework settings and defaults that apply across all environments
-
-#### `routes.cfm`
-URL routing configuration using the mapper DSL
-
-#### `[environment]/settings.cfm`
-Environment-specific overrides for global settings
-
-## Configuration Loading Order
-
-Wheels loads configuration in this order:
-
-1. **Framework defaults** - Built-in Wheels defaults
-2. **`/config/settings.cfm`** - Global application settings
-3. **`/config/[environment]/settings.cfm`** - Environment-specific overrides
-4. **URL parameters** - Temporary overrides via `?reload=environment`
-
-Later settings override earlier ones.
-
-## Accessing Configuration Values
-
-### In Controllers/Models/Views
-
-```cfm
-// Get configuration values
-environment = get("environment");
-datasource = get("dataSourceName");
-debugMode = get("showDebugInformation");
-
-// Conditional logic based on environment
-if (get("environment") == "development") {
-    // Development-only code
-}
-
-// Check if setting exists
-if (hasSettingValue("customSetting")) {
-    customValue = get("customSetting");
-}
-```
-
-### In Application Events
-
-```cfm
-// In /app/events/onapplicationstart.cfm
-if (get("environment") == "production") {
-    // Initialize production services
-    initializeLogging();
-    initializeMonitoring();
-}
-```
-
-## Migration from Pre-3.0
-
-### Breaking Change in Wheels 3.1.0
-
-Configuration moved from `/app/config` to `/config` at root level.
-
-### Automated Migration
-
-```bash
-# Use CommandBox recipe to migrate automatically
-box recipe https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wheels-dev/wheels/develop/cli/recipes/config-migration.boxr
-```
-
-### Manual Migration Steps
-
-1. Move `/app/config` to `/config`
-2. Update `Application.cfc` path references
-3. Update any hardcoded paths in application code
-4. Update deployment scripts and documentation
-5. Test that configuration loads correctly
-
-## Debug Configuration
-
-```cfm
-// Dump all settings (development only)
-<cfdump var="#application.wheels.settings#" label="Wheels Settings">
-
-// Check specific setting
-<cfoutput>Environment: #get("environment")#</cfoutput>
-<cfoutput>Datasource: #get("dataSourceName")#</cfoutput>
-<cfoutput>Debug Mode: #get("showDebugInformation")#</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Configuration Categories
-
-### Application Settings
-- Application identity and session management
-- Database connections and datasources
-- Security settings and CSRF protection
-
-### Framework Settings
-- Caching configuration
-- ORM and validation settings
-- Function defaults and global overrides
-
-### Routing Configuration
-- URL patterns and route mappings
-- Resource routing and custom routes
-- Route helpers and parameters
-
-### Environment Settings
-- Environment-specific overrides
-- Development vs production configurations
-- Feature flags and conditional settings
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use Environment Variables for Sensitive Data
-
-```cfm
-// Use environment variables for passwords
-set(dataSourcePassword = GetEnvironmentValue("DB_PASSWORD"));
-set(reloadPassword = GetEnvironmentValue("RELOAD_PASSWORD"));
-```
-
-### 2. Organize Settings Logically
-
-```cfm
-// Group related settings together
-// Database settings
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp");
-set(dataSourceUserName = "user");
-set(dataSourcePassword = "pass");
-
-// Caching settings
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-```
-
-### 3. Use Environment-Specific Overrides
-
-```cfm
-// Base configuration in /config/settings.cfm
-set(showDebugInformation = false);
-
-// Development override in /config/development/settings.cfm
-set(showDebugInformation = true);
-```
-
-### 4. Document Custom Settings
-
-```cfm
-// Custom application settings with comments
-set(enableAdvancedFeatures = true); // Enable beta features
-set(maxFileUploadSize = 10); // Maximum file upload size in MB
-set(apiRateLimit = 1000); // API requests per hour per user
-```
-
-## Common Configuration Patterns
-
-### Multi-Environment Database Setup
-
-```cfm
-// In /config/settings.cfm (base config)
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp");
-
-// In /config/development/settings.cfm
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_dev");
-
-// In /config/testing/settings.cfm
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_test");
-
-// In /config/production/settings.cfm
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_prod");
-```
-
-### Feature Flags
-
-```cfm
-// In /config/settings.cfm
-set(enableNewFeature = false);
-
-// In /config/development/settings.cfm
-set(enableNewFeature = true);
-
-// In controllers/views
-if (get("enableNewFeature")) {
-    // Show new feature
-}
-```
-
-### Performance Configuration
-
-```cfm
-// Development: No caching
-set(cacheActions = false);
-set(cachePages = false);
-
-// Production: Full caching
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(defaultCacheTime = 120);
-```

-# Routing Configuration
-
-## 🔴 CRITICAL ROUTING ANTI-PATTERNS (MOST COMMON CONFIG ERRORS)
-
-**Before writing ANY routing code, verify you will NOT:**
-- [ ] ❌ Use Rails-style inline function: `.resources("posts", function(r) { r.resources("comments"); })`
-- [ ] ❌ Put wildcard route before other routes
-- [ ] ❌ Mix argument styles in route definitions
-- [ ] ❌ Forget to call `.end()` to close mapper
-
-**And you WILL:**
-- [ ] ✅ Use `callback` for nested resources: `.resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) { map.resources("comments"); })`
-- [ ] ✅ Or use `nested=true` with manual `.end()`: `.resources(name="posts", nested=true).resources("comments").end()`
-- [ ] ✅ Put routes in correct order: resources → custom → root → wildcard
-- [ ] ✅ Use consistent argument syntax throughout
-- [ ] ✅ Always close mapper with `.end()`
-
-## 📋 ROUTING IMPLEMENTATION TEMPLATE (MANDATORY STARTING POINT)
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-mapper()
-    // 1. Resource routes FIRST (with nested resources using callback)
-    .resources("users")
-    .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) {
-        map.resources("comments");
-    })
-
-    // 2. Custom routes SECOND
-    .get(name="login", to="sessions##new")
-    .post(name="authenticate", to="sessions##create")
-    .delete(name="logout", to="sessions##delete")
-
-    // 3. Root route THIRD
-    .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
-
-    // 4. Wildcard route LAST (ALWAYS LAST)
-    .wildcard()
-.end(); // CRITICAL: Always end with .end()
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Routing Configuration (`routes.cfm`)
-
-Define URL patterns and map them to controller actions:
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Use this file to add routes to your application
-    // Don't forget to reload after changes: ?reload=true
-    // See https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing
-
-    mapper()
-        // Resource-based routing (recommended)
-        .resources("users")
-        .resources("posts")
-        .resources("comments")  // Nested resources use separate declarations
-
-        // Singular resource (no primary key in URL)
-        .resource("profile")
-        .resource("cart")
-
-        // Custom routes
-        .get(name="search", pattern="search", to="search##index")
-        .get(name="about", pattern="about", to="pages##about")
-        .post(name="contact", pattern="contact", to="contact##create")
-
-        // API routes with namespace
-        .namespace("api", {
-            resources: ["users", "posts"]
-        })
-
-        // Catch-all wildcard routing
-        .wildcard()
-
-        // Root route (homepage)
-        .root(to="home##index", method="get")
-    .end();
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Routing Patterns
-
-### Resource Routing
-
-```cfm
-.resources("products")
-// Creates: index, show, new, create, edit, update, delete actions
-
-.resources("categories", {
-    except: ["delete"]
-})
-.resources("products")  // Nested resources declared separately
-```
-
-### Custom Routes
-
-```cfm
-.get(name="productSearch", pattern="products/search", to="products##search")
-.post(name="newsletter", pattern="newsletter/signup", to="newsletter##signup")
-.patch(name="activate", pattern="users/[key]/activate", to="users##activate")
-.delete(name="clearCart", pattern="cart/clear", to="cart##clear")
-```
-
-### Route Constraints
-
-```cfm
-.get(name="userPosts", pattern="users/[userId]/posts/[postId]", to="posts##show", {
-    constraints: {
-        userId: "\d+",
-        postId: "\d+"
-    }
-})
-```
-
-### Route Parameters
-
-- **`[key]`** - Primary key parameter (maps to `params.key`)
-- **`[slug]`** - URL-friendly identifier
-- **`[any-name]`** - Custom parameter name
-- **Optional parameters**: Use `?` suffix like `[category?]`
-
-## Route Helper Usage
-
-After defining routes, use them in views:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Resource routes --->
-#linkTo(route="products", text="All Products")#
-#linkTo(route="newProduct", text="New Product")#
-#linkTo(route="product", key=product.id, text="View Product")#
-#linkTo(route="editProduct", key=product.id, text="Edit")#
-
-<!--- Custom routes --->
-#linkTo(route="search", text="Search Products")#
-#linkTo(route="about", text="About Us")#
-
-<!--- With parameters --->
-#linkTo(route="userPosts", userId=user.id, postId=post.id)#
-```
-
-## Routing Best Practices
-
-### Route Ordering
-
-Routes are processed in order - first match wins. Order routes from most specific to most general:
-
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    // 1. Resource routes first
-    .resources("posts")
-    .resources("comments")
-
-    // 2. Custom routes
-    .get(name="search", pattern="search", to="search##index")
-    .get(name="admin", pattern="admin", to="admin##dashboard")
-
-    // 3. Root route
-    .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
-
-    // 4. Wildcard routing last
-    .wildcard()
-.end();
-```
-
-## Common Routing Mistakes
-
-### ❌ Incorrect nested resource syntax (Rails-style inline):
-
-```cfm
-// WRONG — passing closure as second positional argument
-.resources("posts", function(nested) {
-    nested.resources("comments");
-})
-```
-
-### ✅ Correct approach — callback parameter:
-
-```cfm
-// Callback syntax (recommended)
-.resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) {
-    map.resources("comments");
-})
-
-// Or manual nested=true + end()
-.resources(name="posts", nested=true)
-    .resources("comments")
-.end()
-
-// Or flat separate declarations (no URL nesting)
-.resources("posts")
-.resources("comments")
-```
-
-### ❌ Wrong route ordering:
-
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .wildcard()        // Too early - catches everything
-    .resources("posts") // Never reached
-.end();
-```
-
-### ✅ Correct ordering:
-
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources("posts") // Specific routes first
-    .wildcard()         // Catch-all last
-.end();
-```
-
-## Route Testing
-
-Always test routes after changes:
-
-1. Use `?reload=true` to reload configuration
-2. Check the debug footer "Routes" link to view all routes
-3. Test both positive and negative cases
-4. Verify route helpers generate correct URLs
-
-## 🔍 POST-IMPLEMENTATION VALIDATION (REQUIRED BEFORE COMPLETION)
-
-**After writing configuration code, you MUST:**
-
-```bash
-# 1. Syntax validation
-wheels server start --validate
-
-# 2. Route testing
-wheels server start
-# Test routes in browser to ensure they work
-
-# 3. Manual verification
-# Check that routes.cfm follows correct ordering
-# Verify all mappers end with .end()
-```
-
-**Manual checklist verification:**
-- [ ] Nested resources use `callback` parameter or `nested=true` (not Rails-style inline)
-- [ ] Routes in correct order (resources, custom, root, wildcard)
-- [ ] Mapper closed with .end()
-- [ ] No mixed argument styles
-- [ ] Wildcard route is last

-# Configuration Troubleshooting
-
-## Troubleshooting Configuration
-
-### Common Issues
-
-#### Configuration not loading
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- Settings don't take effect
-- Application behaves as if using defaults
-- No errors displayed
-
-**Solutions:**
-- Check file syntax for CFML errors
-- Verify file permissions (files must be readable)
-- Ensure proper `<cfscript>` tags
-- Confirm file paths are correct
-
-**Debug Steps:**
-```cfm
-// Check if configuration file exists
-<cfif FileExists(ExpandPath("/config/settings.cfm"))>
-    <cfoutput>Configuration file found</cfoutput>
-<cfelse>
-    <cfoutput>Configuration file NOT found</cfoutput>
-</cfif>
-
-// Dump current settings
-<cfdump var="#application.wheels.settings#" label="Current Settings">
-```
-
-#### Settings not taking effect
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- Configuration appears to load but settings don't work
-- Old settings still active after changes
-
-**Solutions:**
-- Issue reload: `?reload=true`
-- Check environment-specific overrides in `/config/[environment]/settings.cfm`
-- Verify setting name spelling (case-sensitive)
-- Clear application scope if necessary
-
-**Debug Steps:**
-```cfm
-// Check specific setting value
-<cfoutput>Environment: #get("environment")#</cfoutput>
-<cfoutput>Show Debug: #get("showDebugInformation")#</cfoutput>
-<cfoutput>Cache Actions: #get("cacheActions")#</cfoutput>
-
-// Check if environment override exists
-<cfset environmentFile = "/config/" & get("environment") & "/settings.cfm">
-<cfif FileExists(ExpandPath(environmentFile))>
-    <cfoutput>Environment override file exists: #environmentFile#</cfoutput>
-<cfelse>
-    <cfoutput>No environment override file found</cfoutput>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-#### Route conflicts
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- URLs don't resolve to expected controllers/actions
-- Wrong controller actions are called
-- 404 errors for valid URLs
-
-**Solutions:**
-- Check route order (first match wins)
-- Use route debugging: Click "Routes" in debug footer
-- Verify pattern syntax
-- Ensure `.end()` is called on mapper
-
-**Debug Steps:**
-```cfm
-// Enable route debugging in footer
-set(showDebugInformation = true);
-
-// Check route order in browser debug footer
-// Look for "Routes" link at bottom of page
-
-// Test specific route matching
-<cfset routeExists = application.wheels.routes.findRoute(
-    controller = "users",
-    action = "show"
-)>
-<cfif IsStruct(routeExists)>
-    <cfoutput>Route found: #routeExists.pattern#</cfoutput>
-<cfelse>
-    <cfoutput>Route not found</cfoutput>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-#### Database connection issues
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- Database errors on application start
-- "Datasource not found" errors
-- Connection timeout errors
-
-**Solutions:**
-- Verify datasource configuration in `app.cfm`
-- Check database driver availability
-- Test connection in ColdFusion Administrator
-- Ensure database server is running
-
-**Debug Steps:**
-```cfm
-// Test database connection
-<cftry>
-    <cfquery name="testQuery" datasource="#get('dataSourceName')#">
-        SELECT 1 as test
-    </cfquery>
-    <cfoutput>Database connection successful</cfoutput>
-<cfcatch>
-    <cfoutput>Database connection failed: #cfcatch.message#</cfoutput>
-</cfcatch>
-</cftry>
-
-// Check datasource configuration
-<cfdump var="#application.datasources#" label="Configured Datasources">
-```
-
-## Environment-Specific Issues
-
-### Development Environment Problems
-
-#### Caching interfering with development
-
-**Problem:** Changes not reflected immediately
-**Solution:**
-```cfm
-// In /config/development/settings.cfm
-set(cacheActions = false);
-set(cachePages = false);
-set(cachePartials = false);
-set(cacheControllerConfig = false);
-set(cacheModelConfig = false);
-```
-
-#### Debug information not showing
-
-**Problem:** Can't see debug panel or error details
-**Solution:**
-```cfm
-// Enable all debug features
-set(showDebugInformation = true);
-set(showErrorInformation = true);
-
-// Check if debug panel is being hidden by CSS
-// Look for debug-footer CSS classes
-```
-
-### Production Environment Problems
-
-#### Performance issues
-
-**Problem:** Slow page loads, high memory usage
-**Solutions:**
-```cfm
-// Enable aggressive caching
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(defaultCacheTime = 120);
-
-// Increase cache limits
-set(maximumItemsToCache = 10000);
-
-// Monitor memory usage
-<cfoutput>
-Java Free Memory: #NumberFormat(GetMemoryUsage().free / 1024 / 1024, "0.00")# MB<br>
-Java Used Memory: #NumberFormat(GetMemoryUsage().used / 1024 / 1024, "0.00")# MB<br>
-Java Max Memory: #NumberFormat(GetMemoryUsage().max / 1024 / 1024, "0.00")# MB
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-#### Error emails not being sent
-
-**Problem:** Not receiving error notifications
-**Solutions:**
-```cfm
-// Verify email configuration
-set(sendEmailOnError = true);
-set(errorEmailAddress = "alerts@myapp.com");
-
-// Test email functionality
-<cfmail to="test@myapp.com" from="noreply@myapp.com" subject="Test Email">
-This is a test email to verify mail configuration.
-</cfmail>
-
-// Check mail logs
-<cflog file="mail" text="Testing mail configuration">
-```
-
-### Testing Environment Problems
-
-#### Tests running slowly
-
-**Problem:** Test suite takes too long to execute
-**Solutions:**
-```cfm
-// Optimize test environment caching
-set(cacheQueries = true); // Cache queries for speed
-set(cacheActions = true); // Cache actions
-set(cachePages = false); // Don't cache pages (might interfere)
-
-// Use in-memory database for tests
-this.datasources['test'] = {
-    class: 'org.h2.Driver',
-    connectionString: 'jdbc:h2:mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1',
-    username: 'sa'
-};
-```
-
-## Route Debugging
-
-### Common Route Issues
-
-#### Routes not working after reload
-
-**Problem:** Routes worked before but stopped after reload
-**Debug:**
-```cfm
-// Check for syntax errors in routes.cfm
-// Verify all mappers end with .end()
-// Look for missing commas or brackets
-```
-
-#### Nested resource routing errors
-
-**Problem:** Trying to use Rails-style nested resources
-**Incorrect:**
-```cfm
-.resources("posts", function(nested) {
-    nested.resources("comments"); // This doesn't work
-})
-```
-
-**Correct:**
-```cfm
-.resources("posts")
-.resources("comments") // Separate declarations
-```
-
-#### Wildcard route catching everything
-
-**Problem:** Custom routes never reached
-**Solution:**
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    // Put specific routes BEFORE wildcard
-    .resources("posts")
-    .get(name="search", pattern="search", to="search##index")
-
-    // Wildcard MUST be last
-    .wildcard()
-.end();
-```
-
-### Route Testing Tools
-
-#### Debug Route Resolution

-# Controller Architecture
-
-## Description
-Wheels controller fundamentals, including structure, conventions, basic patterns, and the MVC request lifecycle.
-
-## Controller Overview
-
-Controllers in Wheels handle incoming HTTP requests and coordinate between models (data) and views (presentation). They are the "C" in the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern and are responsible for:
-
-- Processing incoming requests and routing them to appropriate actions
-- Interacting with models to retrieve or modify data
-- Preparing data for views and rendering responses
-- Handling user input validation and error handling
-- Managing redirects and HTTP responses
-- Implementing business logic flow control
-
-## Controller File Structure
-
-Controllers are stored in `/app/controllers/` and follow these conventions:
-- **File naming**: PascalCase, typically plural (e.g., `Products.cfc`, `Users.cfc`)
-- **Base class**: All controllers extend `Controller.cfc` (which extends `wheels.Controller`)
-- **Actions**: Public methods that handle specific requests
-- **Configuration**: Use `config()` method for initialization (NOT `init()`)
-
-## Basic Controller Template
-
-Every controller extends `Controller` and uses `config()` for initialization:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    /**
-     * Controller configuration - runs once when controller is loaded
-     */
-    function config() {
-        // Call parent config to inherit base functionality
-        super.config();
-
-        // Controller-specific configuration goes here
-        // Examples: filters, format support, verification rules
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Default action - typically lists all records
-     */
-    function index() {
-        // Load data and prepare for view
-        products = model("Product").findAll();
-        // View automatically rendered: /app/views/products/index.cfm
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Show specific record
-     */
-    function show() {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-        if (!IsObject(product)) {
-            redirectTo(action="index", error="Product not found");
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## CLI Commands for Controllers
-
-### Creating Controllers
-```bash
-# Basic controller
-wheels generate controller products
-wheels g controller products
-
-# Controller with specific actions
-wheels g controller products actions="index,show,new,create,edit,update,delete"
-
-# RESTful controller (full CRUD)
-wheels g controller products --rest
-
-# API controller (JSON responses, no views)
-wheels g controller api/products --api
-
-# Custom actions
-wheels g controller reports actions="dashboard,monthly,yearly,export"
-```
-
-### Testing Controllers
-```bash
-wheels generate test controller products
-wheels test run --directory=tests/specs/controllers
-```
-
-## Controller Configuration (`config()` method)
-
-The `config()` method is where you configure controller behavior. **CRITICAL**: Use `config()`, NOT `init()`.
-
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    // Always call parent config first
-    super.config();
-
-    // Authentication filters
-    filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
-    filters(through="loadUser", only="show,edit,update,delete");
-
-    // Format support
-    provides("html,json,xml");
-
-    // Verification rules
-    verifies(except="index,new,create", params="key", paramsTypes="integer", handler="objectNotFound");
-
-    // CSRF protection (automatic in base Controller.cfc)
-    protectsFromForgery();
-
-    // Pagination defaults
-    set(defaultPerPage=25);
-}
-```
-
-## Standard CRUD Actions Pattern
-
-### Basic CRUD Implementation
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function config() {
-        super.config();
-        verifies(except="index,new,create", params="key", paramsTypes="integer", handler="objectNotFound");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * GET /products - List all products
-     */
-    function index() {
-        products = model("Product").findAll(
-            page=params.page ?: 1,
-            perPage=25,
-            order="createdAt DESC"
-        );
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * GET /products/[key] - Show specific product
-     */
-    function show() {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * GET /products/new - New product form
-     */
-    function new() {
-        product = model("Product").new();
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * POST /products - Create product
-     */
-    function create() {
-        product = model("Product").create(params.product);
-        if (product.hasErrors()) {
-            renderView(action="new");
-        } else {
-            redirectTo(action="index", success="Product created successfully");
-        }
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * GET /products/[key]/edit - Edit product form
-     */
-    function edit() {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * PATCH/PUT /products/[key] - Update product
-     */
-    function update() {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-        if (product.update(params.product)) {
-            redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Product updated successfully");
-        } else {
-            renderView(action="edit");
-        }
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * DELETE /products/[key] - Delete product
-     */
-    function delete() {
-        product = model("Product").deleteByKey(params.key);
-        redirectTo(action="index", success="Product deleted successfully");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Handle verification failures
-     */
-    function objectNotFound() {
-        redirectTo(action="index", error="Product not found");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## RESTful Action Standards
-
-### Standard Action Mappings
-- `index()` - List resources (GET /users)
-- `show()` - Display single resource (GET /users/12)
-- `new()` - Show creation form (GET /users/new)
-- `create()` - Process creation (POST /users)
-- `edit()` - Show edit form (GET /users/12/edit)
-- `update()` - Process updates (PUT /users/12)
-- `delete()` - Remove resource (DELETE /users/12)
-
-### URL-to-Action Mapping
-| HTTP Method | URL Pattern | Action | Purpose |
-|-------------|-------------|--------|---------|
-| GET | `/products` | index | List all products |
-| GET | `/products/new` | new | Show creation form |
-| POST | `/products` | create | Create new product |
-| GET | `/products/123` | show | Display product 123 |
-| GET | `/products/123/edit` | edit | Show edit form for product 123 |
-| PUT/PATCH | `/products/123` | update | Update product 123 |
-| DELETE | `/products/123` | delete | Delete product 123 |
-
-## Argument Consistency Rules
-
-**🚨 CRITICAL**: NEVER mix positional and named arguments in ANY Wheels function call.
-
-### ❌ WRONG - Mixed Arguments (WILL CAUSE ERRORS)
-```cfm
-// Model methods - MIXING CAUSES ERRORS
-post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key, include="comments"); // ERROR!
-users = model("User").findAll("active = 1", order="name"); // ERROR!
-
-// Rendering methods
-renderText("Not found", status=404); // ERROR!
-redirectTo("index", error="Failed"); // ERROR!
-```
-
-### ✅ CORRECT - All Named Arguments (RECOMMENDED)
-```cfm
-// Model methods - ALWAYS use named arguments for clarity
-post = model("Post").findByKey(key=params.key, include="comments");
-users = model("User").findAll(where="active = 1", order="name");
-
-// Rendering methods
-renderText(text="Not found", status=404);
-redirectTo(action="index", error="Failed");
-```
-
-### ✅ ALSO CORRECT - All Positional Arguments
-```cfm
-// Model methods - positional only when simple
-post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
-users = model("User").findAll();
-```
-
-## The `params` Struct
-
-The `params` struct combines URL, form, and route parameters:
-
-### Accessing Parameters
-```cfm
-function show() {
-    // Route parameter: /products/123
-    productId = params.key; // "123"
-
-    // URL parameter: /products/123?format=json
-    format = params.format; // "json"
-
-    // Always available
-    controller = params.controller; // "products"
-    action = params.action; // "show"
-}
-
-function search() {
-    // URL parameters: /products?q=laptop&category=electronics&page=2
-    searchTerm = params.q ?: "";
-    categoryId = params.category ?: "";
-    page = params.page ?: 1;
-
-    // Form parameters (from POST request)
-    if (StructKeyExists(params, "product")) {
-        productData = params.product;
-        name = params.product.name;
-        price = params.product.price;
-    }
-}
-
-function create() {
-    // Nested parameters from form
-    // <input name="product[name]" value="Laptop">
-    // <input name="product[price]" value="999.99">
-
-    product = model("Product").create(params.product);
-    // params.product = {name: "Laptop", price: "999.99"}
-}
-```
-
-## Request Lifecycle
-
-### 1. Route Resolution
-Wheels matches the incoming URL to a route pattern:
-```
-http://localhost:8080/products/show/123
-                     ↓
-{controller: "products", action: "show", key: "123"}
-```
-
-### 2. Controller Instantiation
-Creates an instance of the appropriate controller (Products.cfc)
-
-### 3. Filter Execution
-Runs any before filters defined for the action
-
-### 4. Action Execution
-Calls the specified action method (show())
-
-### 5. View Rendering
-Renders the corresponding view (unless redirected or explicitly rendered)
-
-### 6. Response
-Sends the final output to the browser
-
-## Naming Conventions
-
-### Controllers
-- **File names**: PascalCase (e.g., `Users.cfc`, `SiteMap.cfc`)
-- **URL mapping**: Hyphenated lowercase (e.g., `/users`, `/site-map`)
-
-### Actions
-- **Method names**: camelCase (e.g., `index()`, `searchEngines()`)
-- **URL mapping**: Hyphenated lowercase (e.g., `/index`, `/search-engines`)
-
-### Views
-- **Directory names**: Lowercase controller name (e.g., `/users`, `/sitemap`)
-- **File names**: Lowercase action name (e.g., `index.cfm`, `searchengines.cfm`)
-
-## Nested Controllers and Namespaces
-
-### Namespace Controllers (Admin Example)
-```cfm
-// File: /app/controllers/admin/Products.cfc
-component extends="wheels.Controller" {
-
-    function config() {
-        super.config();
-        filters(through="requireAdmin");
-    }
-
-    function index() {
-        products = model("Product").findAll(include="category");
-    }
-
-    private function requireAdmin() {
-        if (!session.user.isAdmin()) {
-            redirectTo(controller="home", action="index", error="Access denied");
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-### Routes for Nested Controllers
-```cfm
-// In /config/routes.cfm
-mapper()
-    .namespace("admin")
-        .resources("products")
-        .resources("users")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-## Common Controller Patterns
-
-### Authentication Controller
-```cfm
-// /app/controllers/Sessions.cfc
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function new() {
-        // Show login form
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        user = model("User").findOne(where="email = :email", params={email: params.email});
-
-        if (IsObject(user) && user.authenticate(params.password)) {
-            session.userId = user.id;
-
-            // Redirect to intended destination or default
-            redirectUrl = session.returnTo ?: "/dashboard";
-            StructDelete(session, "returnTo");
-
-            location(url=redirectUrl, addToken=false);
-        } else {
-            flashInsert(error="Invalid email or password");
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function delete() {
-        StructClear(session);
-        redirectTo(action="new", success="You have been logged out");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use Descriptive Action Names
-```cfm
-// Good - clear intent
-function activate() { }
-function deactivate() { }
-function search() { }
-function export() { }
-
-// Avoid - unclear purpose
-function doStuff() { }
-function handle() { }
-function process() { }
-```
-
-### 2. Keep Actions Focused
-```cfm
-// Good - single responsibility
-function create() {
-    product = model("Product").create(params.product);
-    handleCreateResponse(product);
-}
-
-// Avoid - doing too much
-function createOrUpdate() {
-    // Complex logic mixing create and update
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Handle Errors Gracefully
-```cfm
-function show() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (!IsObject(product)) {
-        // Redirect with helpful message instead of throwing error
-        redirectTo(action="index", error="The requested product could not be found");
-        return;
-    }
-
-    // Continue with normal flow
-}
-```
-
-## Important Notes
-
-- **Use `config()`, not `init()`**: Controllers use the `config()` method for initialization, never `init()`
-- **Always call `super.config()`**: When implementing `config()`, call the parent method first
-- **Actions are public methods**: Any public method can be called as an action via URL
-- **Private methods for helpers**: Use `private` access for filter methods and internal helpers
-- **Automatic view rendering**: Views are automatically rendered unless you explicitly render or redirect
-- **The `params` struct**: Contains all request parameters (URL, form, route) and is available throughout the controller
-- **CSRF protection**: Automatically enabled in base `Controller.cfc` via `protectsFromForgery()`

-# Controller Filters
-
-## Description
-Wheels filters allow you to run code before or after actions without explicit calls, enabling cross-cutting concerns like authentication, logging, data loading, and authorization.
-
-## Filter Basics
-
-Filters allow you to run code before or after actions without explicit calls in each method. They're perfect for:
-- Authentication and authorization
-- Loading common data
-- Logging and auditing
-- Setting up request context
-- Cleaning up after requests
-
-## Basic Filter Setup
-
-### Before Filters (Default)
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Before filters (default type)
-    filters(through="authenticate");
-    filters(through="loadUser", only="show,edit,update,delete");
-    filters(through="adminRequired", except="index,show");
-}
-
-/**
- * Authentication filter
- */
-private function authenticate() {
-    if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
-        redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new", error="Please log in");
-    }
-}
-
-/**
- * Load user for actions that need it
- */
-private function loadUser() {
-    user = model("User").findByKey(session.userId);
-    if (!IsObject(user)) {
-        redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new", error="Invalid session");
-    }
-}
-
-/**
- * Admin access required
- */
-private function adminRequired() {
-    if (!user.isAdmin()) {
-        redirectTo(back=true, error="Access denied");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### After Filters
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // After filters
-    filters(through="logAccess", type="after");
-    filters(through="cleanup", type="after", only="create,update,delete");
-}
-
-private function logAccess() {
-    writeLog(
-        file="access",
-        text="User #session.userId ?: 'anonymous'# accessed #params.controller#.#params.action#"
-    );
-}
-
-private function cleanup() {
-    // Clean up temporary files, clear caches, etc.
-    clearTempFiles();
-    clearObjectCache();
-}
-```
-
-## Filter Targeting
-
-### Including/Excluding Actions
-```cfm
-function config() {

-```
-
-## Error Handling in Filters
-
-### Graceful Filter Errors
-```cfm
-private function authenticateWithErrorHandling() {
-    try {
-        if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new", error="Please log in");

-
-### Filter Chain Debugging

-    super.config();
-
-    if (application.environment == "development") {
-        filters(through="debugFilters", type="before");
-    }
-}
-
-private function debugFilters() {
-    writeOutput("<!-- Filter chain: #params.controller#.#params.action# at #now()# -->");
-}
-```
-
-## Testing Filters
-
-### Filter Testing
-```cfm
-// In test file
-function testAuthenticationFilter() {
-    // Test without session
-    params = {controller: "products", action: "edit", key: 1};
-    result = processAction(params);
-
-    // Should redirect to login
-    assert("IsRedirect()");
-    assert("result.location CONTAINS 'sessions'");
-}
-
-function testAuthenticationFilterWithValidSession() {
-    // Set up valid session
-    session.userId = createTestUser().id;
-
-    params = {controller: "products", action: "edit", key: 1};
-    result = processAction(params);
-
-    // Should proceed normally
-    assert("!IsRedirect()");
-}
-```
-
-## Advanced Filter Patterns
-
-### Conditional Filters
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Only apply filters based on conditions
-    if (application.environment == "production") {
-        filters(through="requireSSL");
-    }
-
-    if (application.features.auditingEnabled) {
-        filters(through="auditActivity", type="after");
-    }
-}
-
-private function requireSSL() {
-    if (!cgi.https) {
-        location(url="https://#cgi.server_name##cgi.script_name#?#cgi.query_string#");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Filter Inheritance
-```cfm
-// Base controller with common filters
-component name="AdminController" extends="Controller" {
-
-    function config() {
-        super.config();
-
-        filters(through="requireAuth");
-        filters(through="requireAdmin");
-        filters(through="loadAdminData");
-    }
-
-    private function requireAdmin() {
-        if (!currentUser.isAdmin()) {
-            redirectTo(controller="home", action="index", error="Admin access required");
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-
-// Inherits admin filters
-component extends="AdminController" {
-
-    function config() {
-        super.config();
-
-        // Additional filters for this controller
-        filters(through="loadReports", only="reports,analytics");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Order Filters Correctly
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Order matters - authentication before authorization
-    filters(through="authenticate");      // Must come first
-    filters(through="loadUser");         // Needs authentication
-    filters(through="checkPermissions"); // Needs user loaded
-    filters(through="loadCommonData");   // Last - depends on user context
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Keep Filters Focused
-```cfm
-// Good - single responsibility
-private function authenticate() {
-    if (!isLoggedIn()) {
-        redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new");
-    }
-}
-
-// Avoid - doing too much
-private function authenticateAndLoadDataAndCheckPermissions() {
-    // Too much responsibility in one filter
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Handle Errors Gracefully
-```cfm
-private function loadUser() {
-    try {
-        currentUser = model("User").findByKey(session.userId);
-        if (!IsObject(currentUser)) {
-            StructDelete(session, "userId");
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new", error="Invalid session");
-        }
-    } catch (any e) {
-        writeLog(file="errors", text=e.message);
-        redirectTo(controller="home", action="index", error="System error");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Use Descriptive Filter Names
-```cfm
-// Good - clear purpose
-filters(through="requireAuthentication");
-filters(through="loadCurrentUser");
-filters(through="checkResourceOwnership");
-
-// Avoid - unclear purpose
-filters(through="doStuff");
-filters(through="check");
-filters(through="filter1");
-```

-# Authentication Filters
-
-## Description
-Common pattern for implementing user authentication checks before allowing access to protected controller actions.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use before filters to check authentication status
-- Redirect unauthenticated users to login
-- Store authentication state in session
-- Apply to specific actions or exclude public actions
-- Provide helpful flash messages
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Authenticate all actions except public ones
-        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
-
-        // More granular authentication
-        filters(through="requireLogin", only="edit,update,delete,create,new");
-    }
-
-    // Public actions don't require authentication
-    function index() {
-        posts = model("Post").findAll(where="published = 1");
-    }
-
-    function show() {
-        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
-    }
-
-    // Protected actions require authentication
-    function new() {
-        post = model("Post").new();
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        post = model("Post").create(params.post);
-        // ... rest of action
-    }
-
-    // Private filter methods
-    private function authenticate() {
-        if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId") || !session.userId) {
-            flashInsert(error="Please login to continue");
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    private function requireLogin() {
-        if (!isLoggedIn()) {
-            flashInsert(error="You must be logged in to access this page");
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new", returnUrl=cgi.request_url);
-        }
-    }
-
-    // Helper method
-    private function isLoggedIn() {
-        return StructKeyExists(session, "userId") && IsNumeric(session.userId);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Create private authentication filter methods
-2. Check session for user ID or authentication token
-3. Redirect to login page if not authenticated
-4. Use `except` for public actions or `only` for protected ones
-5. Store return URL for post-login redirects
-

-- [Authorization Filters](./authorization.md)
-- [Session Management](../../patterns/authentication.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Always use private methods for filters
-- Check both existence and validity of session data
-- Provide clear error messages for users
-- Store return URLs for better user experience
-- Consider token-based authentication for APIs

-# Authorization Filters
-
-## Description
-Implement role-based access control and permissions checking after authentication to restrict access based on user privileges.
-
-## Key Points
-- Run after authentication filters
-- Check user roles and permissions
-- Restrict access based on resource ownership
-- Support admin, moderator, and custom roles
-- Provide appropriate error messages
-

-    }
-
-    // Filter methods for different authorization levels
-    private function requireAdmin() {
-        if (!currentUser().isAdmin()) {
-            flashInsert(error="Administrator privileges required");
-            redirectTo(action="index");

-    }
-
-    private function requireOwnership() {

-            redirectTo(action="index");
-        }
-        // Store for use in action
-        variables.post = post;
-    }
-
-    private function requireModeratorOrOwner() {

-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Define authorization filters after authentication filters
-2. Check user roles, permissions, or ownership
-3. Use helper methods to get current user
-4. Store found resources in variables for action use
-5. Provide specific error messages for different restrictions

-## Important Notes
-- Always run authorization after authentication
-- Cache current user to avoid multiple database calls
-- Check both resource existence and ownership
-- Use descriptive error messages
-- Consider using role-based or permission-based systems

-# Before and After Filters
-
-## Description
-Filters run code before or after controller actions to avoid repetition and implement cross-cutting concerns.
-
-## Key Points
-- Define filters in controller's `config()` method
-- Use `filters()` for before filters, `filters(through="method", type="after")` for after filters
-- Filter methods should be private
-- Support `only` and `except` to control which actions run filters
-- Filters can redirect or abort action execution
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Before filters (default type)
-        filters(through="authenticate");
-        filters(through="findUser", only="show,edit,update,delete");
-        filters(through="requireAdmin", except="index,show");
-
-        // After filters
-        filters(through="logAccess", type="after");
-        filters(through="cleanup", type="after", only="create,update,delete");
-    }
-
-    // Action methods
-    function index() {
-        users = model("User").findAll();
-    }
-
-    function show() {
-        // user already found by findUser filter
-    }
-
-    // Private filter methods
-    private function authenticate() {
-        if (!session.authenticated) {
-            flashInsert(error="Please login first");
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    private function findUser() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-        if (!IsObject(user)) {
-            flashInsert(error="User not found");
-            redirectTo(action="index");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `filters()` calls in controller's `config()` method
-2. Create private methods for filter logic
-3. Use `only="action1,action2"` to limit scope
-4. Use `except="action1,action2"` to exclude actions
-5. Use `type="after"` for after filters
-
-## Related
-- [Parameter Verification](../params/verification.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Filter methods must be private for security
-- Filters run in order they're defined
-- Before filters can prevent action execution
-- Use filters for authentication, logging, setup
-- Keep filter logic focused and reusable

-# HTTP Method Detection
-
-## Description
-Detect HTTP request methods and AJAX requests for implementing conditional logic, REST API endpoints, and request-specific handling.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `isGet()`, `isPost()`, `isPut()`, `isPatch()`, `isDelete()`, `isHead()` for HTTP method detection
-- Use `isAjax()` to detect AJAX/XMLHttpRequest calls
-- Implement REST-like behavior in single controller actions
-- Conditional processing based on request type
-- API endpoint method validation
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Method-specific filters
-        filters(through="requirePOST", only="create,update,delete");
-        filters(through="allowAjaxOnly", only="quickUpdate,liveSearch");
-    }

-    // REST-like action handling multiple HTTP methods
-    function user() {

-## Usage
-1. Use method detection functions in controller actions for conditional logic
-2. Implement REST-like endpoints that handle multiple HTTP methods
-3. Create AJAX-specific actions with `isAjax()` validation
-4. Build API endpoints with proper HTTP method support
-5. Use filters to enforce method requirements
-
-## Available Methods
-- `isGet()` - Returns true if request method is GET
-- `isPost()` - Returns true if request method is POST
-- `isPut()` - Returns true if request method is PUT
-- `isPatch()` - Returns true if request method is PATCH
-- `isDelete()` - Returns true if request method is DELETE
-- `isHead()` - Returns true if request method is HEAD
-- `isAjax()` - Returns true if request is XMLHttpRequest (AJAX)

-- [Controller Filters](./filters/before-after.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- All methods return boolean true/false values
-- `isAjax()` checks for XMLHttpRequest header
-- Method detection works with method override techniques
-- Use appropriate HTTP status codes in responses
-- Consider security implications of method-based logic
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### REST API Controller
-```cfm
-function restAction() {
-    // Route: /api/users/123
-    switch(true) {
-        case isGet():
-            renderWith(data=model("User").findByKey(params.key));
-            break;
-        case isPut():
-            user = model("User").updateByKey(params.key, params.user);
-            renderWith(data=user);
-            break;
-        case isDelete():
-            model("User").deleteByKey(params.key);
-            renderWith(data={success=true}, status=204);
-            break;
-        default:
-            renderWith(data={error="Method not allowed"}, status=405);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Progressive Enhancement
-```cfm
-function update() {
-    user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (user.update(params.user)) {
-        if (isAjax()) {
-            // AJAX response
-            renderWith(data={success=true, user=user});
-        } else {
-            // Traditional form response
-            flashInsert(success="User updated");

-### API Versioning
-```cfm

-## Security Considerations
-- Validate HTTP methods for sensitive operations
-- Use CSRF protection for state-changing methods (POST, PUT, DELETE)
-- Implement proper authentication for API endpoints
-- Consider rate limiting for different request types
-- Log suspicious method usage patterns

-# Controller Model Interactions
-
-## Description
-Comprehensive guide to how controllers interact with models in Wheels, including CRUD operations, association handling, validation, and data loading patterns.
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL REMINDERS
-
-**Model Argument Consistency:**
-ALL model method calls in controllers MUST use consistent argument syntax - either all named OR all positional arguments. Mixed arguments will cause "Missing argument name" errors.
-
-**Association Return Types:**
-Model associations return QUERY objects, not arrays. Use `.recordCount` for counts and `<cfloop query="...">` for iteration in views.
-
-## Basic Model Operations in Controllers
-
-### Index Action - Listing Records
-```cfm
-function index() {
-    // Find all records with common controller patterns
-    products = model("Product").findAll(
-        page=params.page ?: 1,
-        perPage=25,
-        order="createdAt DESC"
-    );
-
-    // With search filtering
-    if (StructKeyExists(params, "q") && len(params.q)) {
-        products = model("Product").findAll(
-            where="name LIKE '%#params.q#%' OR description LIKE '%#params.q#%'",
-            page=params.page ?: 1,
-            perPage=25
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Show Action - Finding Single Record
-```cfm
-function show() {
-    // Find by primary key with error handling
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (!IsObject(product)) {
-        redirectTo(action="index", error="Product not found");
-        return;
-    }
-
-    // Load related data for display
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(
-        key=params.key,
-        include="category,reviews.user"
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### New Action - Creating Form Objects
-```cfm
-function new() {
-    // Create new model instance for form
-    product = model("Product").new();
-
-    // Load related data for form dropdowns
-    categories = model("Category").findAll(order="name");
-}
-```
-
-### Create Action - Processing Form Data
-```cfm
-function create() {
-    // Create with form data and handle validation
-    product = model("Product").create(params.product);
-
-    if (product.hasErrors()) {
-        // Re-display form with errors
-        categories = model("Category").findAll(order="name");
-        renderView(action="new");
-    } else {
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Product created successfully");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Edit Action - Loading for Editing
-```cfm
-function edit() {
-    // Load record for editing
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-    categories = model("Category").findAll(order="name");
-}
-```
-
-### Update Action - Modifying Records
-```cfm
-function update() {
-    // Update existing record
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (product.update(params.product)) {
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Product updated successfully");
-    } else {
-        categories = model("Category").findAll(order="name");
-        renderView(action="edit");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Delete Action - Removing Records
-```cfm
-function delete() {
-    // Delete record with confirmation
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-    product.delete();
-    redirectTo(action="index", success="Product deleted successfully");
-}
-```
-
-## Pagination in Controllers
-
-### Standard Pagination Pattern
-```cfm
-function index() {
-    // Standard pagination pattern
-    products = model("Product").findAll(
-        page=params.page ?: 1,
-        perPage=params.perPage ?: 25,
-        order="name"
-    );
-
-    // Make pagination info available to view
-    pagination = {
-        currentPage: products.currentPage,
-        totalPages: products.pageCount,
-        totalRecords: products.totalRecords
-    };
-}
-```
-
-### Pagination with Search
-```cfm
-function search() {
-    local.searchOptions = {
-        page: params.page ?: 1,
-        perPage: 20,
-        order: "createdAt DESC"
-    };
-
-    // Add search conditions
-    if (len(params.q ?: "")) {
-        local.searchOptions.where = "name LIKE '%#params.q#%' OR description LIKE '%#params.q#%'";
-    }
-
-    products = model("Product").findAll(argumentCollection=local.searchOptions);
-}
-```
-
-## Search and Filtering
-
-### Building Dynamic Where Clauses
-```cfm
-function search() {
-    local.where = "";
-    local.conditions = [];
-
-    // Build where clause dynamically
-    if (Len(params.q ?: "")) {
-        arrayAppend(local.conditions, "name LIKE '%#params.q#%' OR description LIKE '%#params.q#%'");
-    }
-
-    if (IsNumeric(params.categoryId ?: "")) {
-        arrayAppend(local.conditions, "categoryId = #params.categoryId#");
-    }
-
-    if (IsNumeric(params.minPrice ?: "")) {
-        arrayAppend(local.conditions, "price >= #params.minPrice#");
-    }
-
-    if (IsNumeric(params.maxPrice ?: "")) {
-        arrayAppend(local.conditions, "price <= #params.maxPrice#");
-    }
-
-    // Combine conditions
-    if (arrayLen(local.conditions)) {
-        local.where = arrayToList(local.conditions, " AND ");
-    }
-
-    products = model("Product").findAll(
-        where=local.where,
-        page=params.page ?: 1,
-        perPage=25
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### Advanced Search with Parameterized Queries
-```cfm
-function advancedSearch() {
-    local.where = "";
-    local.params = {};
-
-    // Use parameterized queries for security
-    if (len(params.q ?: "")) {
-        local.where = "name LIKE :search OR description LIKE :search";
-        local.params.search = "%#params.q#%";
-    }
-
-    if (IsNumeric(params.categoryId ?: "")) {
-        if (len(local.where)) {
-            local.where &= " AND ";
-        }
-        local.where &= "categoryId = :categoryId";
-        local.params.categoryId = params.categoryId;
-    }
-
-    products = model("Product").findAll(
-        where=local.where,
-        params=local.params,
-        page=params.page ?: 1,
-        perPage=25
-    );
-}
-```
-
-## Association Loading
-
-### Eager Loading to Avoid N+1 Queries
-```cfm
-function dashboard() {
-    // Load multiple models efficiently
-    recentProducts = model("Product").findAll(
-        limit=5,
-        order="createdAt DESC",
-        include="category"  // Avoid N+1 queries
-    );
-
-    topCategories = model("Category").findAll(
-        joins="INNER JOIN products p ON categories.id = p.categoryId",
-        group="categories.id",
-        order="COUNT(p.id) DESC",
-        limit=10
-    );
-
-    // Use statistical functions
-    totalProducts = model("Product").count();
-    averagePrice = model("Product").average("price");
-}
-```
-
-### Complex Association Loading
-```cfm
-function userProfile() {
-    user = model("User").findByKey(
-        key=params.key,
-        include="profile,posts.comments.author,orders.items.product"
-    );
-
-    if (!IsObject(user)) {
-        redirectTo(action="index", error="User not found");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Handling Association Queries
-```cfm
-function showPost() {
-    post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (!IsObject(post)) {
-        redirectTo(action="index", error="Post not found");
-    }
-
-    // Get comments (returns QUERY, not array)
-    comments = post.comments();
-
-    // Get comment count
-    commentCount = comments.recordCount;
-
-    // Check if has comments
-    hasComments = comments.recordCount > 0;
-}
-```
-
-## Validation Handling
-
-### Standard Validation Pattern
-```cfm
-function create() {
-    product = model("Product").new(params.product);
-
-    if (product.save()) {
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Created successfully");
-    } else {
-        // Make errors available to view
-        errors = product.allErrors();
-
-        // Reload supporting data
-        categories = model("Category").findAll(order="name");
-
-        renderView(action="new");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Advanced Validation Handling
-```cfm
-function update() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (product.update(params.product)) {
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Updated successfully");
-    } else {
-        // Handle specific validation errors
-        if (product.hasErrors("name")) {
-            flashInsert(error="Product name is required and must be unique");
-        }
-
-        if (product.hasErrors("price")) {
-            flashInsert(error="Price must be a positive number");
-        }
-
-        // Reload form data
-        categories = model("Category").findAll(order="name");
-        renderView(action="edit");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Bulk Operations with Validation
-```cfm
-function bulkUpdate() {
-    errors = [];
-    successes = 0;
-
-    for (productId in params.selectedIds) {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(productId);
-
-        if (IsObject(product)) {
-            if (product.update(params.bulkData)) {
-                successes++;
-            } else {
-                arrayAppend(errors, "Product ##productId##: #arrayToList(product.errorMessages())#");
-            }
-        }
-    }
-
-    if (successes > 0) {
-        flashInsert(success="#successes# products updated");
-    }
-    if (arrayLen(errors) > 0) {
-        flashInsert(error="Errors: #arrayToList(errors, '; ')#");
-    }
-
-    redirectTo(action="index");
-}
-```
-
-## Dynamic Finders in Controllers
-
-### Basic Dynamic Finders
-```cfm
-function findByEmail() {
-    // Use dynamic finders for specific searches
-    user = model("User").findOneByEmail(params.email);
-
-    if (IsObject(user)) {
-        renderWith(user);
-    } else {
-        renderWith(data={error: "User not found"}, status=404);
-    }
-}
-
-function filterByStatus() {
-    // Dynamic finder with additional parameters
-    products = model("Product").findAllByStatus(
-        value=params.status,
-        order="createdAt DESC",
-        page=params.page ?: 1
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### Multiple Property Finders
-```cfm
-function findByLocation() {
-    // Find by multiple properties
-    users = model("User").findAllByCityAndState(
-        values="#params.city#,#params.state#",
-        order="lastName",
-        page=params.page ?: 1
-    );
-}
-```
-
-## Statistical Queries in Controllers
-
-### Basic Statistics
-```cfm
-function reports() {
-    // Use model statistical functions
-    totalRevenue = model("Order").sum("total", where="status = 'completed'");
-    averageOrderValue = model("Order").average("total", where="status = 'completed'");
-    orderCount = model("Order").count(where="status = 'completed'");
-
-    // Complex statistics with raw SQL
-    local.sql = "SELECT p.*, COUNT(oi.id) as orderCount
-        FROM products p
-        INNER JOIN orderItems oi ON p.id = oi.productId
-        GROUP BY p.id
-        ORDER BY orderCount DESC
-        LIMIT 10";
-
-    topProducts = queryExecute(local.sql, {}, {datasource = application.datasource});
-}
-```
-
-### Dashboard Statistics
-```cfm
-function dashboard() {
-    // Current user's statistics
-    userStats = {
-        postCount = model("Post").count(where="authorId = #currentUser.id#"),
-        commentCount = model("Comment").count(where="userId = #currentUser.id#"),
-        totalViews = model("Post").sum("viewCount", where="authorId = #currentUser.id#"),
-        averageRating = model("Post").average("rating", where="authorId = #currentUser.id#")
-    };
-
-    // System-wide statistics
-    systemStats = {
-        totalUsers = model("User").count(),
-        activeUsers = model("User").count(where="lastLoginAt > '#dateAdd("d", -30, now())#'"),
-        totalPosts = model("Post").count(),
-        publishedPosts = model("Post").count(where="status = 'published'")
-    };
-}
-```
-
-## Change Tracking in Controllers
-
-### Detecting Changes
-```cfm
-function update() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-    originalPrice = product.price;
-
-    if (product.update(params.product)) {
-        // Use dirty tracking to detect changes
-        if (product.hasChanged("price")) {
-            // Log price change
-            writeLog("Price changed for product #product.id#: #originalPrice# to #product.price#");
-        }
-
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Updated successfully");
-    } else {

-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Tracking All Changes
-```cfm
-function auditedUpdate() {

-        changedProps = product.changedProperties();
-
-        for (prop in changedProps) {
-            oldValue = product.changedFrom(prop);
-            newValue = product[prop];

-
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Updated successfully");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Nested Properties in Controllers
-
-### One-to-One Nested Properties
-```cfm
-function new() {
-    // Create user with nested profile
-    newProfile = model("Profile").new();
-    user = model("User").new(profile=newProfile);

-    } else {
-        // Reload form with errors
-        renderView(action="new");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Transaction Handling
-
-### Manual Transactions
-```cfm

-                arrayAppend(errorMessages, error.message);
-            }
-
-            flashInsert(error="Please correct these errors: #arrayToList(errorMessages, ', ')#");
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    } catch (any e) {
-        writeLog("Error creating product: #e.message#");
-        flashInsert(error="An unexpected error occurred while creating the product");
-        renderView(action="new");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Performance Optimization
-
-### Efficient Query Patterns
-```cfm
-function optimizedIndex() {
-    // Use specific columns to reduce memory usage
-    products = model("Product").findAll(
-        select="id,name,price,createdAt",
-        order="createdAt DESC",
-        page=params.page ?: 1,
-        perPage=25
-    );
-
-    // Use count for pagination instead of loading all records
-    totalProducts = model("Product").count();
-}
-```
-
-### Caching Model Results
-```cfm
-function cachedReports() {
-    cacheKey = "monthly_report_#dateFormat(now(), 'yyyy-mm')#";
-
-    if (!cacheKeyExists(cacheKey)) {
-        reportData = {
-            totalSales = model("Order").sum("total", where="status = 'completed'"),
-            orderCount = model("Order").count(where="status = 'completed'"),
-            topProducts = getTopProducts()
-        };
-
-        cachePut(cacheKey, reportData, createTimeSpan(0, 6, 0, 0)); // Cache for 6 hours
-    }
-
-    reportData = cacheGet(cacheKey);
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use Consistent Argument Syntax
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: All named arguments
-product = model("Product").findByKey(key=params.key, include="category");
-
-// ❌ BAD: Mixed arguments
-product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key, include="category");
-```
-
-### 2. Handle Missing Records Gracefully
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Check for null and redirect
-product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-if (!IsObject(product)) {
-    redirectTo(action="index", error="Product not found");
-    return;
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Use Eager Loading for Performance
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Load associations upfront
-products = model("Product").findAll(include="category,reviews");
-
-// ❌ BAD: Causes N+1 queries
-products = model("Product").findAll();
-// Then accessing product.category() in view causes N+1 queries
-```
-
-### 4. Validate Input Properly
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Proper validation handling
-if (product.save()) {
-    redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Created");
-} else {
-    renderView(action="new");
-}
-```

-# Parameter Verification
-
-## Description
-Ensure required parameters exist and have correct types before controller actions execute to prevent errors and security issues.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `verifies()` in controller's `config()` method
-- Check parameter existence and types
-- Specify which actions require verification
-- Automatic error handling with helpful messages
-- Prevents actions from running with invalid parameters
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Basic parameter verification
-        verifies(params="key", paramsTypes="integer", only="show,edit,update,delete");
-
-        // Multiple parameters with types
-        verifies(
-            params="userId,postId",
-            paramsTypes="integer,integer",
-            only="addComment"
-        );
-
-        // Complex verification
-        verifies(
-            params="key,slug",
-            paramsTypes="integer,string",
-            only="showBySlug",
-            handler="handleMissingParams"
-        );
-
-        // Required struct parameters
-        verifies(
-            params="user",
-            paramsTypes="struct",
-            only="create,update"
-        );
-    }
-
-    function show() {
-        // params.key guaranteed to be integer
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-    }
-
-    function addComment() {
-        // Both params.userId and params.postId guaranteed to be integers
-        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.postId);
-        // ... rest of action
-    }
-
-    // Custom error handler
-    private function handleMissingParams() {
-        flashInsert(error="Invalid or missing parameters");
-        redirectTo(action="index");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `verifies()` calls in controller's `config()` method
-2. Specify required parameters with `params` argument
-3. Define expected types with `paramsTypes` argument
-4. Limit to specific actions with `only` or `except`
-5. Optionally provide custom error handler
-
-## Related
-- [Before and After Filters](../filters/before-after.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Verification runs before filters and actions
-- Failed verification prevents action execution
-- Supports types: integer, string, struct, array, boolean
-- Use for all actions that depend on specific parameters
-- Custom handlers allow for better error messages

-# Controller Rendering and Response Methods
-
-## Description
-Comprehensive guide to rendering views, handling different response formats, redirects, and managing HTTP responses in Wheels controllers.
-
-## Rendering Views
-
-### Automatic View Rendering
-```cfm
-function show() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    // Automatic rendering - renders /app/views/products/show.cfm
-    // No explicit renderView() call needed
-}
-```
-
-### Explicit View Rendering
-```cfm
-function show() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    // Explicit rendering with different template
-    renderView(action="display", layout="custom");
-
-    // Render with caching
-    renderView(cache=60); // Cache for 60 minutes
-
-    // Return as string instead of rendering
-    content = renderView(returnAs="string");
-}
-```
-
-### Rendering Different Templates
-```cfm
-function dashboard() {
-    // Render different action template
-    renderView(action="admin_dashboard");
-
-    // Render from different controller
-    renderView(controller="admin", action="dashboard");
-
-    // Render with custom layout
-    renderView(layout="admin");
-
-    // Render without layout
-    renderView(layout=false);
-}
-```
-
-## Multiple Format Support
-
-### Format Configuration
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-    provides("html,json,xml");
-}
-```
-
-### Automatic Format Handling with renderWith
-```cfm
-function index() {
-    products = model("Product").findAll();
-
-    // Automatic format handling
-    renderWith(products);
-    // - HTML: renders /app/views/products/index.cfm
-    // - JSON: automatically converts to JSON
-    // - XML: automatically converts to XML
-}
-
-function show() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (IsObject(product)) {
-        renderWith(product);
-    } else {
-        renderWith(data={error: "Not found"}, status=404);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Format Handling
-```cfm
-function download() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    switch (params.format ?: "html") {
-        case "json":
-            renderWith(data={product: product});
-            break;
-        case "xml":
-            renderWith(data={product: product}, format="xml");
-            break;
-        case "csv":
-            renderCsv(product);
-            break;
-        default:
-            renderView();
-    }
-}
-
-private function renderCsv(required product) {
-    csvContent = "Name,Price,Category" & chr(13) & chr(10);
-    csvContent &= "#arguments.product.name#,#arguments.product.price#,#arguments.product.category.name#";
-
-    renderText(
-        text=csvContent,
-        contentType="text/csv",
-        fileName="product_#arguments.product.id#.csv"
-    );
-}
-```
-
-## Other Rendering Methods
-
-### Plain Text Response
-```cfm
-function apiStatus() {
-    // Render plain text
-    renderText("OK");
-
-    // With custom content type
-    renderText(
-        text="Custom response",
-        contentType="text/plain",
-        status=200
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### Partial Template Rendering
-```cfm
-function ajaxUpdate() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    // Render partial template
-    renderPartial(partial="productRow", data=product);
-
-    // Render partial with layout
-    renderPartial(partial="productCard", layout="ajax");
-}
-```
-
-### No Content Response
-```cfm
-function hidden() {
-    // Render nothing (useful for AJAX endpoints)
-    renderNothing();
-}
-
-function apiDelete() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-    product.delete();
-
-    // Return 204 No Content
-    renderNothing(status=204);
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Content Type
-```cfm
-function customApi() {
-    data = {message: "Hello", timestamp: now()};
-
-    // Render with custom content type
-    renderText(
-        text=SerializeJSON(data),
-        contentType="application/vnd.api+json"
-    );
-}
-```

-    } else {
-        // Redirect to action
-        redirectTo(action="index", success="Product created");
-
-        // Redirect to specific record
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id);
-
-        // Redirect to different controller
-        redirectTo(controller="dashboard", action="index");
-    }
-}
-```

-```cfm
-function update() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (product.update(params.product)) {
-        // Redirect with flash messages
-        redirectTo(
-            action="show",
-            key=params.key,
-            success="Product updated successfully"

-        data={error: "Rate limit exceeded", retryAfter: 3600},
-        status=429
-    );
-}
-```
-
-## Response Headers
-
-### Setting Custom Headers
-```cfm
-function downloadFile() {

-    // Set download headers
-    header name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=product-#product.id#.pdf";
-    header name="Content-Type" value="application/pdf";
-
-    // Render file content
-    renderBinary(fileContent);
-}
-
-function corsHeaders() {
-    // CORS headers for API
-    header name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*";
-    header name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,OPTIONS";
-    header name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Content-Type,Authorization";
-
-    renderWith(data={message: "CORS enabled"});
-}
-```
-
-### Cache Headers
-```cfm
-function publicData() {
-    // Set cache headers
-    header name="Cache-Control" value="public, max-age=3600";
-    header name="Expires" value=dateFormat(dateAdd("h", 1, now()), "ddd, dd mmm yyyy HH:nn:ss") & " GMT";
-
-    data = model("Product").findAll();
-    renderWith(data);
-}

-    header name="Pragma" value="no-cache";
-    header name="Expires" value="0";
-
-    userData = getCurrentUserData();
-    renderWith(userData);
-}
-```
-
-## Caching Responses
-
-### View Caching
-```cfm
-function index() {
-    products = model("Product").findAll(order="name");
-
-    // Cache the rendered view for 30 minutes
-    renderView(cache=30);
-}
-
-function show() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key, include="category,reviews");
-
-    // Cache based on product and last modified time
-    cacheKey = "product_#params.key#_#product.updatedAt#";
-    renderView(cache=60, cacheKey=cacheKey);
-}
-```
-
-### Conditional Caching
-```cfm
-function cachedData() {
-    // Only cache for authenticated users
-    if (isLoggedIn()) {
-        renderView(cache=15);
-    } else {
-        renderView();
-    }
-}
-
-function dynamicCache() {
-    cacheTime = application.environment == "production" ? 60 : 0;
-    renderView(cache=cacheTime);
-}
-```
-
-## Flash Messages
-
-### Setting Flash Messages
-```cfm
-function update() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (product.update(params.product)) {
-        // Flash message with redirect (shortcut)
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=product.id, success="Product updated successfully");
-    } else {
-        // Flash message without redirect
-        flashInsert(error="Please correct the errors below");
-        renderView(action="edit");
-    }
-}
-
-function delete() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (product.delete()) {
-        flashInsert(success="Product deleted successfully");
-    } else {
-        flashInsert(error="Could not delete product");
-    }
-
-    redirectTo(action="index");
-}
-```
-
-### Advanced Flash Usage
-```cfm
-function complexOperation() {
-    // Multiple flash messages
-    flashInsert(info="Processing your request...");
-
-    try {
-        // Complex operation
-        result = performComplexOperation();

-        }
-    } catch (any e) {
-        flashInsert(error="Operation failed: #e.message#");
-    }
-
-    redirectTo(action="dashboard");
-}
-
-function multiStep() {
-    // Flash with custom keys
-    flashInsert(step="Validating data...");
-    flashInsert(progress="25%");
-
-    redirectTo(action="stepTwo");
-}
-```
-
-## Error Handling in Rendering
-
-### Graceful Error Responses
-```cfm
-function apiShow() {
-    try {

-            status=500
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Format-Specific Error Handling
-```cfm
-function handleError(required any exception) {
-    switch (params.format ?: "html") {
-        case "json":
-            renderWith(
-                data={

-            flashInsert(error="An error occurred: #arguments.exception.message#");
-            redirectTo(action="index");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## File Downloads and Uploads
-
-### File Download Response
-```cfm
-function download() {

-    // Send file download
-    sendFile(
-        file=filePath,
-        name="Product #product.id# Manual.pdf",
-        type="application/pdf",
-        disposition="attachment"
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### Image Response
-```cfm
-function thumbnail() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (IsObject(product) && len(product.imagePath)) {
-        imagePath = expandPath(product.imagePath);
-
-        if (fileExists(imagePath)) {

-
-## Advanced Rendering Patterns
-
-### Conditional Rendering
-```cfm
-function show() {

-
-    if (!IsObject(product)) {
-        // Handle missing product based on format
-        if (params.format == "json") {
-            renderWith(data={error: "Not found"}, status=404);
-        } else {
-            redirectTo(action="index", error="Product not found");
-        }
-        return;
-    }
-
-    // Normal rendering
-    if (params.format == "json") {
-        renderWith(data={product: product});
-    } else {
-        renderView();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Layout Selection
-```cfm
-function show() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    // Choose layout based on user type or context
-    if (isAdmin()) {
-        renderView(layout="admin");
-    } else if (isMobile()) {
-        renderView(layout="mobile");
-    } else {
-        renderView(layout="application");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Partial Rendering for AJAX
-```cfm
-function updateCart() {
-    cart = getCurrentCart();
-
-    if (isAjaxRequest()) {
-        // Return just the cart partial
-        renderPartial(partial="cart", data=cart);
-    } else {
-        // Full page reload
-        redirectTo(action="show");
-    }
-}
-
-private function isAjaxRequest() {
-    return StructKeyExists(cgi, "http_x_requested_with") &&
-           cgi.http_x_requested_with == "XMLHttpRequest";
-}
-```
-
-## Testing Rendering
-
-### Testing View Rendering
-```cfm
-// In test
-function testShowRendersCorrectView() {
-    product = createTestProduct();
-
-    params = {controller: "products", action: "show", key: product.id};
-    result = processAction(params);
-
-    // Check that view was rendered
-    assert("IsStruct(result)");
-    assert("result.view == 'products/show'");
-}
-```
-
-### Testing JSON Responses
-```cfm
-function testApiShowReturnsJson() {
-    product = createTestProduct();
-
-    params = {
-        controller: "products",
-        action: "show",
-        key: product.id,
-        format: "json"
-    };
-
-    result = processAction(params);
-
-    assert("result.contentType == 'application/json'");
-    assert("isJSON(result.content)");
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use Appropriate Response Formats
-```cfm
-// Good - format-specific responses
-function show() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (params.format == "json") {
-        renderWith(data={product: product});
-    } else {
-        renderView();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Handle Errors Gracefully
-```cfm
-// Good - graceful error handling
-function show() {
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (!IsObject(product)) {
-        if (params.format == "json") {
-            renderWith(data={error: "Not found"}, status=404);
-        } else {
-            redirectTo(action="index", error="Product not found");
-        }
-        return;
-    }
-
-    renderWith(product);
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Use Flash Messages Appropriately
-```cfm
-// Good - informative flash messages
-redirectTo(action="index", success="Product updated successfully");
-redirectTo(action="index", error="Product could not be deleted");
-redirectTo(action="index", info="Product archived");
-```
-
-### 4. Cache When Appropriate
-```cfm
-// Good - cache expensive operations
-function expensiveReport() {
-    report = generateExpensiveReport();
-
-    // Cache for 1 hour in production, no cache in development
-    cacheTime = application.environment == "production" ? 60 : 0;
-    renderView(cache=cacheTime);
-}
-```
-
-## Server-Sent Events (SSE)
-
-Wheels includes built-in support for SSE responses. Use `renderSSE()` for single-event responses or `initSSEStream()` for streaming multiple events.
-
-### Single SSE Event
-```cfm
-function notifications() {
-    var data = model("Notification").findAll(where="userId=#params.userId# AND sent=0");
-    renderSSE(data=SerializeJSON(data), event="notifications", id=params.lastId);
-}
-```
-
-### Multi-Event Streaming
-```cfm
-function stream() {
-    var writer = initSSEStream();
-    var items = model("Activity").findAll(where="new=1");
-    for (var item in items) {
-        sendSSEEvent(writer=writer, data=SerializeJSON(item), event="update", id=item.id);
-    }
-    closeSSEStream(writer=writer);
-}
-```
-
-### Content Negotiation
-```cfm
-function updates() {
-    if (isSSERequest()) {
-        renderSSE(data=SerializeJSON(getLatestData()), event="data");
-    } else {
-        renderView();
-    }
-}
-```
-

-# JSON Rendering
-
-## Description
-Render JSON responses for API endpoints and AJAX requests using Wheels' built-in serialization.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `renderWith()` method for automatic format detection
-- Use `provides()` in config to specify supported formats
-- Automatic JSON serialization of objects and queries
-- Support for custom serialization and error responses
-- Content-type headers set automatically
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Specify supported formats
-        provides("html,json,xml");
-
-        // JSON-only endpoints
-        filters(through="setJsonFormat", only="api");
-    }
-
-    function index() {
-        users = model("User").findAll();
-
-        // Automatic format detection from URL or Accept header
-        // /users.json or Accept: application/json
-        renderWith(users);
-    }
-
-    function show() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-
-        if (IsObject(user)) {
-            renderWith(user);
-        } else {
-            // JSON error response
-            renderWith(data={error: "User not found"}, status=404);
-        }
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        user = model("User").new(params.user);
-
-        if (user.save()) {
-            // Return created object with 201 status
-            renderWith(user, status=201);
-        } else {
-            // Return validation errors
-            renderWith(data={errors: user.allErrors()}, status=422);
-        }
-    }
-
-    // API-specific actions
-    function api() {
-        data = {
-            version: "1.0",
-            timestamp: Now(),
-            users: model("User").findAll(select="id,firstName,lastName")
-        };
-
-        renderWith(data);
-    }
-
-    // Custom JSON formatting
-    function customFormat() {
-        users = model("User").findAll();
-        formattedData = {
-            success: true,
-            count: users.recordCount,
-            data: users
-        };
-
-        renderWith(formattedData);
-    }
-
-    private function setJsonFormat() {
-        params.format = "json";
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `provides("json")` to controller config
-2. Use `renderWith(data)` for automatic format detection
-3. Access via `.json` extension or Accept header
-4. Include status codes for proper HTTP responses
-5. Handle errors with appropriate JSON structure
-
-## Related
-- [Rendering Views](./views.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- `renderWith()` handles format detection automatically
-- Status codes important for API consumers
-- Use structured error responses with validation details
-- JSON format available at `/action.json` or via Accept header
-- Objects and queries serialized automatically

-# Redirects
-
-## Description
-Redirect users to different URLs after successful operations or when access control is required.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `redirectTo()` method for all redirects
-- Support for named routes, controller/action pairs, and URLs
-- Include flash messages for user feedback
-- Prevent double rendering with automatic action termination
-- Support for return URLs and relative redirects
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function create() {
-        user = model("User").new(params.user);
-
-        if (user.save()) {
-            // Redirect to show page with success message
-            redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id, success="User created successfully!");
-        } else {
-            // Re-render form with errors (no redirect)
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function update() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-
-        if (user.update(params.user)) {
-            // Redirect back with flash message
-            redirectTo(back=true, success="Profile updated!");
-        } else {
-            renderView(action="edit");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function delete() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-        user.delete();
-
-        // Redirect to index with different message types
-        redirectTo(action="index", success="User deleted", warning="Data permanently removed");
-    }
-
-    function login() {
-        // Redirect to return URL or default location
-        returnUrl = params.returnUrl ?: urlFor(action="dashboard");
-        redirectTo(url=returnUrl, success="Welcome back!");
-    }
-
-    // Different redirect patterns
-    function examples() {
-        // Named route with parameters
-        redirectTo(route="editUser", key=5);
-
-        // Controller and action
-        redirectTo(controller="posts", action="index");
-
-        // External URL
-        redirectTo(url="https://example.com");
-
-        // Back to previous page
-        redirectTo(back=true);
-
-        // Relative redirect
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=params.key);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Use `redirectTo()` after successful operations
-2. Include flash messages: `success`, `error`, `warning`, `info`
-3. Use named routes for maintainable URLs
-4. Use `back=true` to return to previous page
-5. Store return URLs for complex navigation flows

-- [Routing](../../core-concepts/routing/basics.md)
-- [Flash Messages](../../views/helpers/forms.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Redirects automatically terminate action execution
-- Don't call `renderView()` after `redirectTo()`
-- Flash messages survive the redirect
-- Use POST-redirect-GET pattern for form submissions
-- Always redirect after successful data modifications

-# Rendering Views
-
-## Description
-Control which view templates are rendered and how data is passed to views from controller actions.
-
-## Key Points
-- Views render automatically based on controller/action names
-- Use `renderView()` to override default view selection
-- Set instance variables to pass data to views
-- Support for different layouts and partial rendering
-- Can render views from other controllers/actions
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function index() {
-        // Data available in view as 'users'
-        users = model("User").findAll(order="lastName");
-        // Renders /app/views/users/index.cfm automatically
-    }
-
-    function show() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-
-        if (!IsObject(user)) {
-            // Render different view for error
-            flashInsert(error="User not found");
-            renderView(action="notFound");
-        }
-        // Otherwise renders /app/views/users/show.cfm
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        user = model("User").new(params.user);
-
-        if (user.save()) {
-            redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id, success="User created!");
-        } else {
-            // Render the form again with errors
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function dashboard() {
-        stats = getUserStats();
-        recentActivity = getRecentActivity();
-
-        // Render custom view with custom layout
-        renderView(template="admin/dashboard", layout="admin");
-    }
-
-    function export() {
-        data = model("User").findAll();
-
-        // Render without layout for API/export
-        renderView(template="users/csv", layout=false);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Set instance variables in controller actions for view access
-2. Use `renderView()` to override default view selection
-3. Specify `action`, `template`, or `controller` for custom views
-4. Use `layout` parameter to change or disable layouts
-5. Variables set in controller available in view templates

-
-## Important Notes
-- Instance variables automatically available in views
-- Default view: `/app/views/[controller]/[action].cfm`
-- Use `renderView()` for custom templates or error handling
-- Set `layout=false` for partial content or API responses
-- Can render views from other controllers with full paths

-# Controller Security
-
-## Description
-Comprehensive guide to securing Wheels controllers including parameter verification, CSRF protection, authentication patterns, input validation, and security best practices.
-
-## Parameter Verification
-
-Parameter verification ensures that required parameters are present and of the correct type before actions are executed.
-
-### Basic Parameter Verification
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Verify required parameters
-    verifies(
-        except="index,new,create",
-        params="key",
-        paramsTypes="integer",
-        handler="objectNotFound"
-    );
-
-    // Multiple parameter verification
-    verifies(
-        only="create,update",
-        params="product.name,product.price",
-        handler="invalidProduct"
-    );
-}
-
-function objectNotFound() {
-    redirectTo(action="index", error="Record not found");
-}
-
-function invalidProduct() {
-    flashInsert(error="Invalid product data");
-    redirectTo(action="new");
-}
-```
-
-### Advanced Parameter Verification
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Verify multiple parameters with specific types
-    verifies(
-        only="show,edit,update,delete",
-        params="key",
-        paramsTypes="integer",
-        handler="handleMissingKey"
-    );
-
-    // Verify nested parameters
-    verifies(
-        only="create,update",
-        params="product.categoryId,product.price",
-        paramsTypes="integer,numeric",
-        handler="handleInvalidData"
-    );
-
-    // Custom verification with conditions
-    verifies(
-        only="adminAction",
-        handler="requireAdminAccess"
-    );
-}
-
-private function handleMissingKey() {
-    if (params.format == "json") {
-        renderWith(data={error: "Invalid or missing ID"}, status=400);
-    } else {
-        redirectTo(action="index", error="Invalid record ID");
-    }
-}
-
-private function handleInvalidData() {
-    flashInsert(error="Required product information is missing or invalid");
-    redirectTo(action="new");
-}
-
-private function requireAdminAccess() {
-    if (!session.user.isAdmin()) {
-        redirectTo(back=true, error="Admin access required");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Parameter Validation
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Custom validation logic
-    verifies(only="transfer", handler="validateTransferParams");
-    verifies(only="upload", handler="validateFileUpload");
-}
-
-private function validateTransferParams() {
-    // Validate transfer amount
-    if (!IsNumeric(params.amount ?: "") || params.amount <= 0) {
-        redirectTo(back=true, error="Invalid transfer amount");
-    }
-
-    // Validate account IDs
-    if (!IsNumeric(params.fromAccountId ?: "") || !IsNumeric(params.toAccountId ?: "")) {
-        redirectTo(back=true, error="Invalid account information");
-    }
-
-    // Prevent self-transfer
-    if (params.fromAccountId == params.toAccountId) {
-        redirectTo(back=true, error="Cannot transfer to the same account");
-    }
-}
-
-private function validateFileUpload() {
-    local.uploadData = getHttpRequestData();
-
-    if (!StructKeyExists(form, "uploadFile") || !len(form.uploadFile)) {
-        redirectTo(back=true, error="No file selected for upload");
-    }
-
-    // Check file size (example: 10MB limit)
-    if (len(local.uploadData.content) > 10485760) {
-        redirectTo(back=true, error="File size too large (maximum 10MB)");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## CSRF Protection
-
-Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection prevents malicious sites from performing actions on behalf of authenticated users.
-
-### Basic CSRF Protection
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // CSRF protection (enabled by default in base Controller.cfc)
-    protectsFromForgery();
-
-    // Exclude specific actions from CSRF
-    protectsFromForgery(except="webhook,api");
-}
-```
-
-### Advanced CSRF Configuration
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // CSRF protection with custom settings
-    protectsFromForgery(
-        with="exception",  // Throw exception on CSRF failure
-        only="create,update,delete"  // Only protect state-changing actions
-    );
-}
-
-// Custom CSRF failure handler
-function handleCsrfFailure() {
-    if (params.format == "json") {
-        renderWith(
-            data={error: "CSRF token invalid or missing"},
-            status=403
-        );
-    } else {
-        flashInsert(error="Security token invalid. Please try again.");
-        redirectTo(back=true);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### CSRF Token Usage in Views
-```cfm
-<!-- Include CSRF meta tags in layout -->
-#csrfMetaTags()#
-
-<!-- Use in forms -->
-#startFormTag(route="product", method="post")#
-    #hiddenFieldTag("authenticityToken", authenticityToken())#
-    <!-- form fields -->
-#endFormTag()#
-
-<!-- AJAX requests -->
-<script>
-    // Get CSRF token from meta tag
-    var csrfToken = $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content');
-
-    $.ajaxSetup({
-        beforeSend: function(xhr) {
-            xhr.setRequestHeader('X-CSRF-Token', csrfToken);
-        }
-    });
-</script>
-```
-
-## Authentication Patterns
-
-### Session-Based Authentication
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Require authentication for all actions except public ones
-    filters(through="requireAuth", except="index,show");
-}
-
-private function requireAuth() {
-    if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId") || !IsNumeric(session.userId)) {
-        // Store intended destination
-        session.returnTo = cgi.request_url;
-        redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new", error="Please log in to continue");
-    }
-}
-
-private function loadCurrentUser() {
-    if (StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
-        currentUser = model("User").findByKey(session.userId);
-        if (!IsObject(currentUser)) {
-            StructDelete(session, "userId");
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new", error="Invalid session");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Enhanced Session Security
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-    filters(through="validateSession");
-}
-
-private function validateSession() {
-    if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
-        return; // Not authenticated, skip validation
-    }
-
-    // Check session timeout
-    if (StructKeyExists(session, "lastActivity")) {
-        local.sessionTimeout = 30; // 30 minutes
-        if (dateDiff("n", session.lastActivity, now()) > local.sessionTimeout) {
-            StructClear(session);
-            flashInsert(error="Your session has expired. Please log in again.");
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new");
-            return;
-        }
-    }

-    // Should redirect with error
-    assert("IsRedirect()");

-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Defense in Depth
-```cfm
-// Multiple layers of security
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Layer 1: HTTPS enforcement
-    filters(through="requireSSL");
-
-    // Layer 2: Authentication
-    filters(through="requireAuth");
-
-    // Layer 3: Authorization
-    filters(through="checkPermissions");
-
-    // Layer 4: Input validation
-    filters(through="validateInput");
-
-    // Layer 5: CSRF protection
-    protectsFromForgery();
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Secure by Default
-```cfm
-// Deny access by default, allow explicitly
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-
-    // Require authentication for all actions
-    filters(through="requireAuth");
-
-    // Only allow specific public actions
-    filters(through="requireAuth", except="index,show");
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Logging and Monitoring
-```cfm
-// Log all security-relevant events
-private function logSecurityEvent(required string event, struct details = {}) {
-    local.logEntry = {
-        event = arguments.event,
-        timestamp = now(),
-        ip = cgi.remote_addr,
-        userAgent = cgi.http_user_agent ?: "",
-        userId = currentUser.id ?: 0,
-        details = arguments.details
-    };
-
-    writeLog(
-        file="security",
-        text=serializeJSON(local.logEntry)
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Regular Security Updates
-```cfm
-// Keep framework and dependencies updated
-// Monitor security advisories
-// Implement security patches promptly
-// Regular security audits and penetration testing
-```

-# Server-Sent Events (SSE)
-
-## Description
-Wheels provides built-in support for Server-Sent Events, enabling real-time server-to-client communication. SSE is ideal for live notifications, activity feeds, progress updates, and any scenario where the server needs to push data to the browser.
-
-## Key Points
-- `renderSSE()` sends a single SSE event as the controller response
-- `initSSEStream()` / `sendSSEEvent()` / `closeSSEStream()` enable multi-event streaming
-- `isSSERequest()` detects EventSource clients for content negotiation
-- SSE headers (`Content-Type: text/event-stream`, `Cache-Control: no-cache`) are set automatically
-- Works with the standard Wheels controller pipeline
-
-## Single Event Response
-
-The simplest pattern: respond to an EventSource request with one SSE event per request. The client automatically reconnects to get the next event.
-
-```cfm
-// Controller action
-function notifications() {
-    var data = model("Notification").findAll(
-        where="userId=#params.userId# AND sent=0",
-        order="createdAt DESC",
-        maxRows=10
-    );
-    renderSSE(
-        data=SerializeJSON(data),
-        event="notifications",
-        id=data.recordCount ? data.id[1] : ""
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### renderSSE() Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
-|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| `data` | string | Yes | Event data (typically JSON). Multi-line strings are handled correctly. |
-| `event` | string | No | Event type name. Client listens with `addEventListener(event, ...)`. |
-| `id` | string | No | Event ID. Sent back as `Last-Event-ID` on reconnect. |
-| `retry` | numeric | No | Reconnection interval in milliseconds. |
-
-## Streaming Multiple Events
-
-For sending multiple events over a single connection, use the streaming API. This bypasses the normal Wheels rendering pipeline and writes directly to the response output.
-
-```cfm
-function stream() {
-    var writer = initSSEStream();
-
-    // Send a series of events
-    var items = model("Activity").findAll(where="createdAt > '#params.since#'", order="createdAt");
-    for (var item in items) {
-        sendSSEEvent(
-            writer=writer,
-            data=SerializeJSON({id: item.id, message: item.message, time: item.createdAt}),
-            event="activity",
-            id=item.id
-        );
-    }
-
-    // Send a keep-alive comment
-    sendSSEComment(writer=writer, comment="done");
-
-    closeSSEStream(writer=writer);
-}
-```
-
-### Streaming API
-
-| Function | Description |
-|----------|-------------|
-| `initSSEStream()` | Sets SSE headers, gets the response writer. Returns a writer object. |
-| `sendSSEEvent(writer, data, event, id, retry)` | Writes and flushes one SSE event to the stream. |
-| `sendSSEComment(writer, comment)` | Writes a comment line (`:comment`). Useful for keep-alive pings. |
-| `closeSSEStream(writer)` | Flushes and closes the connection. |
-
-## Content Negotiation
-
-Detect whether the current request comes from an EventSource client:
-
-```cfm
-function updates() {
-    if (isSSERequest()) {
-        var data = model("Update").findAll(where="new=1");
-        renderSSE(data=SerializeJSON(data), event="updates");
-    } else {
-        // Normal HTML response
-        updates = model("Update").findAll(order="createdAt DESC");
-        renderView();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Client-Side Usage
-
-### Basic EventSource
-```javascript
-const es = new EventSource('/controller/notifications?userId=42');
-
-es.onmessage = function(event) {
-    console.log('Message:', event.data);
-};
-
-es.addEventListener('notifications', function(event) {
-    const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
-    // Update the UI with notification data
-});
-
-es.onerror = function(event) {
-    console.error('SSE connection error');
-};
-```
-
-### With Last-Event-ID
-```javascript
-// The browser automatically sends Last-Event-ID on reconnect.
-// Access it in your controller via:
-// GetHTTPRequestData().headers["Last-Event-ID"]
-```
-
-## SSE Event Format
-
-The SSE protocol uses a simple text format. Wheels handles formatting automatically:
-
-```
-id: 42
-event: notification
-retry: 5000
-data: {"message":"New order received","orderId":123}
-
-```
-
-- Each field is on its own line (`field: value`)
-- Multi-line data gets multiple `data:` lines
-- Events are terminated by a blank line (`\n\n`)
-- Comment lines start with `:` (used for keep-alive)
-
-## Routing for SSE Endpoints
-
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="notifications", only="index")
-    .get(name="notificationStream", pattern="notifications/stream", to="notifications##stream")
-    .wildcard()
-.end();
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Keep events small** — Send only the data the client needs
-2. **Use event types** — Let clients subscribe to specific events with `addEventListener()`
-3. **Include event IDs** — Enables automatic resume after disconnection
-4. **Set reasonable retry intervals** — Default browser retry is ~3 seconds
-5. **Use `renderSSE()` for simple cases** — Polling-based SSE is simpler and more reliable
-6. **Use streaming for burst updates** — `initSSEStream()` is ideal for sending a batch of events
-7. **Add keep-alive comments** — Prevents proxy timeouts on long-lived connections

-# Controller Testing
-
-## Description
-Comprehensive guide to testing Wheels controllers using WheelsTest with modern BDD (Behavior Driven Development) syntax. Wheels uses WheelsTest for testing controllers with `describe()`, `it()`, and `expect()` patterns.

-        categoryId: testCategory.id
-    });
-}
-```
-
-## WheelsTest BDD Best Practices
-
-### 1. Write Focused, Descriptive Tests
-```cfm
-// Good - focused BDD test
-it("should redirect after successful product creation", () => {
-    cfhttp(
-        url=variables.baseUrl & "/products/create",
-        method="POST",
-        result="response"
-    ) {
-        cfhttpparam(type="formfield", name="name", value="Valid Product");
-        cfhttpparam(type="formfield", name="price", value="99.99");
-        cfhttpparam(type="formfield", name="csrf_token", value=session.csrf_token);
-    }
-
-    expect([201, 302]).toInclude(response.status_code);
-});
-
-// Avoid - testing multiple concerns in one test
-// Instead, break into separate it() blocks
-```
-
-### 2. Use Descriptive BDD Descriptions
-```cfm
-// Good - clear BDD descriptions
-describe("Product Creation", () => {
-    it("should redirect to product detail after successful creation", () => { ... });
-    it("should display validation errors when data is invalid", () => { ... });
-    it("should require authentication for product creation", () => { ... });
-});
-
-// Avoid - vague descriptions
-describe("Products", () => {
-    it("should work", () => { ... });
-    it("should do stuff", () => { ... });
-});
-```
-
-### 3. Test Error Conditions with BDD
-```cfm
-describe("Error Handling", () => {
-
-    it("should handle missing data gracefully", () => {
-        cfhttp(
-            url=variables.baseUrl & "/products/create",
-            method="POST",
-            result="response"
-        ) {
-            // Send empty data
-            cfhttpparam(type="formfield", name="csrf_token", value=session.csrf_token);
-        }
-
-        expect(response.status_code).toBe(400);
-    });
-
-    it("should reject unauthorized access", () => {
-        // Don't login first
-        cfhttp(
-            url=variables.baseUrl & "/products/create",
-            method="GET",
-            result="response"
-        );
-
-        expect(response.status_code).toBe(302); // Redirect to login
-    });
-});
-```
-
-### 4. Use MockBox for External Dependencies
-```cfm
-describe("Email Integration", () => {
-
-    beforeEach(() => {
-        // Create mock email service
-        variables.mockEmailService = createMock("EmailService");
-        variables.mockEmailService.$(
-            method="sendWelcomeEmail",
-            returns=true
-        );
-
-        // Inject mock into application
-        application.emailService = variables.mockEmailService;
-    });
-
-    it("should send welcome email after user creation", () => {
-        cfhttp(
-            url=variables.baseUrl & "/users/create",
-            method="POST",
-            result="response"
-        ) {
-            cfhttpparam(type="formfield", name="username", value="newuser");
-            cfhttpparam(type="formfield", name="email", value="new@example.com");
-            cfhttpparam(type="formfield", name="csrf_token", value=session.csrf_token);
-        }
-
-        expect([201, 302]).toInclude(response.status_code);
-        expect(variables.mockEmailService.$once("sendWelcomeEmail")).toBeTrue();
-    });
-});
-```

-# MVC Controllers
-
-## Description
-Controllers handle HTTP requests, coordinate with models, and render views in Wheels' MVC architecture.
-
-## Key Points
-- Extend `Controller.cfc` base class
-- Located in `/app/controllers/` directory
-- Use plural names (UsersController.cfc)
-- Handle request parameters and user input
-- Coordinate between models and views
-- Implement filters for common functionality
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// /app/controllers/Users.cfc
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Filters for authentication/authorization
-        filters(through="authenticate", except="index");
-        filters(through="findUser", only="show,edit,update,delete");
-
-        // Parameter verification
-        verifies(except="index,new,create", params="key", paramsTypes="integer");
-
-        // Content type support
-        provides("html,json");
-    }
-
-    function index() {
-        users = model("User").findAll(order="createdAt DESC");
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        user = model("User").new(params.user);
-
-        if (user.save()) {
-            redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id, success="User created!");
-        } else {
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    private function authenticate() {
-        if (!session.authenticated) {
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-- Create `.cfc` files in `/app/controllers/`
-- Use plural names matching route resources
-- Define public methods for actions
-- Use private methods for filters and helpers
-- Set instance variables for views to access
-
-## Related
-- [Models](./models.md)
-- [Views](./views.md)
-- [Routing](../routing/basics.md)
-- [Filters](../../controllers/filters/before-after.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Keep controllers thin - delegate to models
-- Use filters for common functionality
-- Verify parameters to prevent errors
-- Handle both success and error cases

-# MVC Conventions
-
-## Description
-Wheels follows convention-over-configuration principles with specific naming and organizational patterns for MVC components.
-
-## Key Points
-- Models: singular names (User.cfc → users table)
-- Controllers: plural names (Users.cfc handles users)
-- Views: organized by controller (users/index.cfm)
-- Files follow PascalCase for classes, lowercase for views
-- Database tables use plural, lowercase names
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// File structure conventions
-/app/models/User.cfc              // Singular model name
-/app/controllers/Users.cfc        // Plural controller name
-/app/views/users/index.cfm        // Controller/action path
-/app/views/users/show.cfm
-/app/views/layout.cfm             // Default layout
-
-// Naming patterns
-model("user")                     // Lowercase reference
-Users.index()                     // Controller.action
-users table                       // Plural table name
-```
-
-## Usage
-- Follow naming conventions for automatic mapping
-- Override with configuration when needed
-- Use generators to ensure proper conventions
-- Maintain consistency across application
-
-## Related
-- [Models](./models.md)
-- [Controllers](./controllers.md)
-- [Views](./views.md)
-- [Routing Conventions](../routing/basics.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Conventions reduce configuration overhead
-- Generators follow conventions automatically
-- Breaking conventions requires explicit mapping
-- Consistency improves maintainability
-- REST conventions align with HTTP verbs

-# MVC Models
-
-## Description
-Models represent the data layer in Wheels' MVC architecture, handling database interactions, validations, and business logic.
-
-## Key Points
-- Extend `Model.cfc` for database-backed models
-- Located in `/app/models/` directory
-- Handle data validation and business rules
-- Support associations (relationships) between models
-- Include callbacks for lifecycle events
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// /app/models/User.cfc
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Associations
-        hasMany("orders");
-        belongsTo("role");
-
-        // Validations
-        validatesPresenceOf("firstName,lastName,email");
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
-        validatesFormatOf(property="email", regEx="^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$");
-
-        // Callbacks
-        beforeSave("hashPassword");
-        afterCreate("sendWelcomeEmail");
-    }
-
-    function fullName() {
-        return trim("#firstName# #lastName#");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-- Create `.cfc` files in `/app/models/`
-- Use singular names (User.cfc for users table)
-- Add validations and associations in `config()`
-- Define custom methods for business logic
-- Access via `model("user")` in controllers
-
-## Related
-- [Controllers](./controllers.md)
-- [Views](./views.md)
-- [ORM Mapping](../orm/mapping-basics.md)
-- [Associations](../../database/associations/has-many.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Models contain business logic, not just data
-- Keep controllers thin, models fat
-- Use descriptive method names
-- Validate all user input at model level

-# MVC Views
-
-## Description
-Views handle the presentation layer in Wheels' MVC architecture, rendering HTML templates with data from controllers.
-
-## Key Points
-- Located in `/app/views/` directory
-- Use `.cfm` template files
-- Access controller instance variables directly
-- Support layouts, partials, and helpers
-- Automatic view selection based on controller/action
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-<!-- /app/views/users/index.cfm -->
-<cfparam name="users">
-<cfoutput>
-#contentFor("title", "Users")#
-
-<h1>Users</h1>
-#linkTo(route="newUser", text="New User", class="btn btn-primary")#
-
-<cfif users.recordCount>
-    <table class="table">
-        <cfloop query="users">
-        <tr>
-            <td>#linkTo(route="user", key=users.id, text=users.firstName)#</td>
-            <td>#users.email#</td>
-            <td>
-                #linkTo(route="editUser", key=users.id, text="Edit")#
-                #buttonTo(route="user", method="delete", key=users.id,
-                         text="Delete", confirm="Are you sure?")#
-            </td>
-        </tr>
-        </cfloop>
-    </table>
-<cfelse>
-    <p>No users found.</p>
-</cfif>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Usage
-- Create `.cfm` files in `/app/views/[controller]/[action].cfm`
-- Use `<cfparam>` to define expected variables from controller
-- Wrap dynamic content in `<cfoutput>` tags
-- Use view helpers for forms, links, and formatting
-- Leverage layouts for consistent page structure
-
-## Related
-- [Controllers](./controllers.md)
-- [Models](./models.md)
-- [Layouts](../../views/layouts/structure.md)
-- [View Helpers](../../views/helpers/forms.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Views should contain minimal logic
-- Use helpers for complex formatting
-- Always validate data from controllers
-- Escape output to prevent XSS attacks

-Wheels maps database tables to CFC classes, records to objects, and columns to properties using convention-based ORM.
-
-## Key Points
-- Tables map to classes (plural table name, singular class name)
-- Records map to object instances
-- Columns map to object properties in `this` scope
-- No getters/setters needed
-- Database schema is introspected automatically
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Author.cfc maps to 'authors' table
-component extends="Model" {
-}
-
-// Usage - class method returns object instance
-author = model("author").findByKey(1);
-
-// Properties available directly in this scope
-author.firstName = "Joe";
-author.save();
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Create `.cfc` file in `/app/models` folder
-2. Extend `Model.cfc`
-3. Use `model("className")` to get class reference
-4. Call methods to create/find/update records

-- [Tableless Models](./tableless-models.md)
-- [MVC Models](../mvc-architecture/models.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- First method call triggers database introspection
-- Model files can be empty - methods inherited from Model.cfc
-- File naming: `Author.cfc` maps to `authors` table by default
-- Requires appropriate database permissions for schema reading

-# Primary Keys
-
-## Description
-Wheels supports flexible primary key configurations including auto-incrementing integers, natural keys, and composite keys.
-
-## Key Points
-- Default: `id` column, integer, auto-incrementing
-- Supports natural keys (varchar, etc.)
-- Supports composite keys (multiple columns)
-- Database creates key automatically or you create in code
-- Wheels introspects database to determine key configuration
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Default auto-incrementing integer 'id'
-component extends="Model" {
-}
-
-// Custom primary key column name
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        property(name="userId", column="user_id");
-    }
-}
-
-// Usage with different key types
-user = model("user").findByKey(12345);           // Integer key
-product = model("product").findByKey("ABC123");  // Natural key
-```
-
-## Usage
-- No configuration needed for default `id` integer keys
-- Use `property()` method in `config()` for custom mappings
-- Wheels automatically detects key type and behavior
-- Works with database-generated or application-generated keys
-
-## Related
-- [ORM Mapping Basics](./mapping-basics.md)
-- [Properties](./properties.md)
-- [Database Queries](../../database/queries/finding-records.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Composite keys supported but less common
-- Natural keys should be immutable
-- Performance: integer keys generally faster than varchar keys
-- Database permissions required for introspection

-# Properties
-
-## Description
-Object properties correspond directly to database columns and are available in the `this` scope without getters/setters.
-
-## Key Points
-- Properties mapped automatically from database columns
-- Available directly in `this` scope
-- Use `property()` method to customize column mapping
-- No getters/setters required
-- Blank strings converted to NULL on save
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Map property to different column name
-        property(name="firstName", column="tbl_auth_f_name");
-    }
-}
-
-// Usage
-user = model("user").findByKey(1);
-user.firstName = "John";      // Direct property access
-user.email = "john@test.com";
-user.save();
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Properties auto-mapped from database columns
-2. Access directly: `object.propertyName`
-3. Override mapping with `property(name="prop", column="col_name")`
-4. Set values directly, call `save()` to persist
-

-- [Creating Records](../../database/queries/creating-records.md)
-- [Updating Records](../../database/queries/updating-records.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- No concept of `null` in CFML - blank strings become NULL
-- Avoid storing blank strings in database
-- Properties reflect database column types
-- First model access triggers schema introspection

-# Tableless Models
-
-## Description
-Models that don't map to database tables but still provide validation, callbacks, and object lifecycle features.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `table(false)` to disable database mapping
-- Supports properties, validations, and callbacks
-- Lifecycle methods still run (save, create, update, delete)
-- Useful for forms, APIs, email processing
-- Override persistence methods for custom storage
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        table(false);
-
-        // Manual property definitions
-        property(name="name", type="string");
-        property(name="email", type="string");
-
-        // Validations still work
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,email");
-        validatesFormatOf(property="email", regEx="^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$");
-    }
-
-    // Override save for custom persistence
-    function save() {
-        if (valid()) {
-            // Custom save logic (email, session, external API)
-            return true;
-        }
-        return false;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Set `table(false)` in `config()` method
-2. Define properties manually with `property()`
-3. Add validations as needed
-4. Override persistence methods for custom storage
-5. Use normally - validations and callbacks work
-
-## Related
-- [ORM Mapping Basics](./mapping-basics.md)
-- [Object Validation](../../database/validations/presence.md)
-- [Form Helpers](../../views/helpers/forms.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Perfect for contact forms and search forms
-- Still supports full object lifecycle
-- No automatic persistence - you control storage
-- Validations and callbacks function normally
-- See blog post: "Building search forms with tableless models"

-# Rails vs Wheels Comparison
-
-## Description
-Key differences between Ruby on Rails and Wheels frameworks to help Rails developers transition to Wheels development.
-
-## Language Fundamentals
-| Aspect | Rails (Ruby) | Wheels (CFML) |
-|--------|--------------|------------------|
-| **Syntax** | Ruby blocks, symbols | CFScript, tag-based templates |
-| **Variables** | Instance variables `@user` | Regular variables `user` |
-| **Comments** | `# Comment` | `// Comment` or `<!-- Comment -->` |
-| **Strings** | `"Hello #{name}"` | `"Hello #name#"` |
-
-## Model Associations
-
-### Basic Associations
-| Rails | Wheels |
-|-------|----------|
-| `has_many :comments` | `hasMany("comments")` |
-| `belongs_to :user` | `belongsTo("user")` |
-| `has_one :profile` | `hasOne("profile")` |
-
-### Association Options
-**Rails:**
-```ruby
-has_many :comments, dependent: :destroy, class_name: "Comment"
-belongs_to :user, foreign_key: "author_id"
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete"); // Named parameters required for options
-belongsTo(name="user", foreignKey="authorId");
-```
-
-**Key Differences:**
-- Wheels supports `dependent` options but requires consistent named parameter syntax
-- Use `foreignKey` instead of `foreign_key` (camelCase)
-- No `class_name` option - uses `modelName` instead
-- Cannot mix positional and named parameters
-
-## Form Helpers
-
-### Available Helpers
-| Rails | Wheels | Notes |
-|-------|----------|-------|
-| `text_field` | `textField()` | ✅ Available |
-| `email_field` | ❌ Not available | Use `textField(type="email")` |
-| `password_field` | `passwordField()` | ✅ Available |
-| `text_area` | `textArea()` | ✅ Available |
-| `label` with text | ❌ Limited | Use HTML `<label>` tags |
-
-### Form Syntax
-**Rails:**
-```erb
-<%= form_with model: @user do |form| %>
-  <%= form.label :name, "Full Name" %>
-  <%= form.email_field :email %>
-<% end %>
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-#startFormTag(route="user", method="put", key=user.id)#
-  <label for="user-name">Full Name</label>
-  #textField(objectName="user", property="email", type="email")#
-#endFormTag()#
-```
-
-## Routing
-
-### Resource Routes
-**Rails:**
-```ruby
-Rails.application.routes.draw do
-  resources :posts do
-    resources :comments
-  end
-  root 'posts#index'
-end
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-mapper()
-  .resources("posts")
-  .resources("comments")  // Separate declaration - nested syntax differs
-  .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
-.end();
-```
-
-**Important:** Wheels nested resource syntax is different from Rails. Use separate `.resources()` declarations instead of nested functions.
-
-### Custom Routes
-**Rails:**
-```ruby
-get '/login', to: 'sessions#new', as: 'login'
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-.get(name="login", pattern="/login", to="sessions##new")
-```
-
-## Controllers
-
-### Basic Structure
-**Rails:**
-```ruby
-class PostsController < ApplicationController
-  before_action :authenticate_user!, except: [:index, :show]
-  before_action :find_post, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
-
-  def index
-    @posts = Post.all
-  end
-end
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-  function config() {
-    filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
-    filters(through="findPost", only="show,edit,update,delete");
-  }
-
-  function index() {
-    posts = model("Post").findAll();
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Parameter Handling
-**Rails:**
-```ruby
-def create
-  @user = User.new(user_params)
-end
-
-private
-
-def user_params
-  params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email)
-end
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-function create() {
-  user = model("User").new(params.user);
-}
-```
-
-## Models
-
-### Model Definition
-**Rails:**
-```ruby
-class Post < ApplicationRecord
-  has_many :comments, dependent: :destroy
-  validates :title, presence: true, uniqueness: true
-
-  before_save :generate_slug
-end
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-  function config() {
-    hasMany("comments"); // No dependent parameter
-    validatesPresenceOf("title");
-    validatesUniquenessOf(property="title");
-    beforeSave("generateSlug");
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Validations
-| Rails | Wheels |
-|-------|----------|
-| `validates :email, presence: true` | `validatesPresenceOf("email")` |
-| `validates :email, uniqueness: true` | `validatesUniquenessOf(property="email")` |
-| `validates :email, format: { with: /regex/ }` | `validatesFormatOf(property="email", regEx="regex")` |
-
-## Views
-
-### Template Syntax
-**Rails (ERB):**
-```erb
-<h1><%= @post.title %></h1>
-<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(@post), class: 'btn' %>
-<% @posts.each do |post| %>
-  <div><%= post.title %></div>
-<% end %>
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-<h1>#post.title#</h1>
-#linkTo(route="editPost", key=post.id, text="Edit", class="btn")#
-<cfloop query="posts">
-  <div>#posts.title#</div>
-</cfloop>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Layout Structure
-**Rails:**
-```erb
-<!-- app/views/layouts/application.html.erb -->
-<%= yield %>
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-<!-- app/views/layout.cfm -->
-#includeContent()#
-```
-
-## Database Migrations
-
-### Migration Structure
-**Rails:**
-```ruby
-class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.0]
-  def change
-    create_table :posts do |t|
-      t.string :title, null: false
-      t.text :body
-      t.timestamps
-    end
-  end
-end
-```
-
-**Wheels:**
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-  function up() {
-    t = createTable(name="posts");
-    t.string(columnNames="title", allowNull=false);
-    t.text(columnNames="body");
-    t.timestamps();
-    t.create();
-  }
-
-  function down() {
-    dropTable("posts");
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Running Migrations
-| Rails | Wheels |
-|-------|----------|
-| `rails db:migrate` | `wheels dbmigrate latest` |
-| `rails db:rollback` | `wheels dbmigrate down` |
-| `rails db:reset` | `wheels dbmigrate reset` |
-
-## Key Differences Summary
-
-1. **Association Options**: Wheels doesn't support Rails-style `dependent` options
-2. **Form Helpers**: More limited in Wheels - supplement with HTML
-3. **Parameter Names**: Rails uses underscores, Wheels uses camelCase
-4. **Syntax Style**: Rails uses symbols and blocks, Wheels uses strings and functions
-5. **Variable Scope**: Rails uses instance variables, Wheels uses regular variables
-6. **Migration Binding**: Wheels migration parameter binding can be unreliable
-
-## Migration Tips for Rails Developers
-
-1. **Start Simple**: Begin with basic Wheels patterns before adding complexity
-2. **Check Documentation**: Don't assume Rails conventions work in Wheels
-3. **Use HTML Fallbacks**: When form helpers are limited, use standard HTML
-4. **Test Incrementally**: Test each component before combining features
-5. **Leverage Conventions**: Wheels has strong conventions - follow them

-## Important Notes
-- Wheels is inspired by Rails but has different limitations and capabilities
-- Always consult Wheels documentation rather than assuming Rails patterns
-- CFML syntax and conventions differ significantly from Ruby
-- Some Rails features don't have Wheels equivalents - use workarounds

-# Routing Basics
-
-## Description
-Wheels routing system matches HTTP requests to controller actions based on URL patterns and HTTP verbs.
-
-## Key Points
-- Routes defined in `/config/routes.cfm`
-- Matches HTTP verb + URL pattern to controller/action
-- Uses `mapper()...end()` chain syntax
-- First matching route wins
-- Route names used for link generation
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// /config/routes.cfm
-mapper()
-    .get(name="product", pattern="products/[key]", to="products##show")
-    .post(name="products", pattern="products", to="products##create")
-    .patch(name="product", pattern="products/[key]", to="products##update")
-    .delete(name="product", pattern="products/[key]", to="products##delete")
-.end();
-
-// Usage in views/controllers
-#linkTo(route="product", key=5, text="View Product")# // /products/5
-#startFormTag(route="products", method="post")#       // /products
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Configure routes in `/config/routes.cfm`
-2. Use HTTP verb methods: `get()`, `post()`, `patch()`, `delete()`
-3. Define patterns with `[parameters]` for dynamic segments
-4. Map to controller using `to="controller##action"`
-5. Reference by name in links and forms

-- [MVC Controllers](../mvc-architecture/controllers.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Routes processed in order - specific routes first
-- Use debugging footer "Routes" link to view all routes
-- Parameter values available as `params.key` in controllers
-- Avoid `.` in route patterns (use query strings instead)

-# HTTP Methods
-
-## Description
-Wheels routes map specific HTTP verbs to actions following REST conventions for safe and unsafe operations.
-
-## Key Points
-- GET: Safe operations (display data)
-- POST: Create new resources
-- PATCH/PUT: Update existing resources
-- DELETE: Remove resources
-- Method determines action type, not just URL
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    // Safe operations (GET)
-    .get(name="products", to="products##index")        // List
-    .get(name="product", pattern="products/[key]", to="products##show")  // Show
-
-    // Unsafe operations (require CSRF protection)
-    .post(name="products", to="products##create")      // Create
-    .patch(name="product", pattern="products/[key]", to="products##update") // Update
-    .delete(name="product", pattern="products/[key]", to="products##delete") // Delete
-
-    // Form helpers automatically use correct method
-    .get(name="newProduct", pattern="products/new", to="products##new")
-    .get(name="editProduct", pattern="products/[key]/edit", to="products##edit")
-.end();
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Use GET for displaying data (lists, forms, individual records)
-2. Use POST for creating new resources
-3. Use PATCH for updating resources (preferred over PUT)
-4. Use DELETE for removing resources
-5. Form helpers automatically set correct HTTP method
-
-## Related
-- [Routing Basics](./basics.md)
-- [Resources](./resources.md)
-- [CSRF Protection](../../configuration/security.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Never use GET for data modification (security risk)
-- PATCH preferred over PUT for updates
-- Form helpers handle method overrides automatically
-- CSRF protection required for POST/PATCH/DELETE
-- Resources generate all HTTP methods automatically

-# Route Patterns
-
-## Description
-URL patterns define the structure of routes with optional parameters that map to controller actions.
-
-## Key Points
-- Parameters enclosed in `[squareBrackets]`
-- Parameters become available in `params` struct
-- First matching route wins
-- More specific patterns should come first
-- Avoid using `.` in patterns
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    // Parameters: key and slug required
-    .get(name="postWithSlug", pattern="posts/[key]/[slug]", to="posts##show")
-
-    // Parameter: key only
-    .get(name="post", pattern="posts/[key]", to="posts##show")
-
-    // No parameters
-    .get(name="posts", pattern="posts", to="posts##index")
-
-    // Optional parameters with constraints
-    .get(name="search", pattern="search/[category]/[page]", to="search##index")
-.end();
-
-// In controller - parameters available as:
-// params.key, params.slug, params.category, params.page
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Define patterns with literal strings and `[parameters]`
-2. Parameters become keys in `params` struct
-3. Order patterns from most to least specific
-4. Use descriptive parameter names
-5. Access in controller via `params.parameterName`
-
-## Related
-- [Routing Basics](./basics.md)
-- [HTTP Methods](./http-methods.md)
-- [Controller Parameters](../../controllers/params/verification.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Route matching stops at first match
-- Parameters are always strings
-- Special characters like `.` should be avoided
-- Use query strings for complex parameter patterns
-- Pattern `/posts/[key]/[slug]` won't match `/posts/123`

-# Resource Routing
-
-## Description
-RESTful resource routing automatically creates conventional routes for CRUD operations on models.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `resources("name")` for full CRUD routes (7 routes: index, show, new, create, edit, update, delete)
-- Use `resource("name")` for singular resources without a key (6 routes: show, new, create, edit, update, delete)
-- Supports nested resources via `callback` parameter or `nested=true`
-- Follows REST conventions for HTTP verbs
-- Restrict actions with `only` or `except` options
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Plural resource - creates 7 routes
-mapper()
-    .resources("products")
-.end();
-
-// Generates these routes:
-// GET    /products              → products.index
-// GET    /products/[key]        → products.show
-// GET    /products/new          → products.new
-// POST   /products              → products.create
-// GET    /products/[key]/edit   → products.edit
-// PATCH  /products/[key]        → products.update
-// DELETE /products/[key]        → products.delete
-
-// Singular resource - creates 6 routes (no index, no key in URL)
-mapper()
-    .resource("cart")
-.end();
-```
-
-## Nested Resources
-
-Nest child resources within a parent to generate URL patterns like `/posts/[postKey]/comments/[key]`.
-
-### Callback Syntax (Recommended)
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) {
-        map.resources("comments");
-        map.resources("tags");
-    })
-.end();
-```
-
-This generates parent routes for `posts` AND nested routes for `comments` and `tags`:
-- `GET /posts/[postKey]/comments` → comments.index
-- `POST /posts/[postKey]/comments` → comments.create
-- `GET /posts/[postKey]/comments/[key]` → comments.show
-- `GET /posts/[postKey]/comments/[key]/edit` → comments.edit
-- `PATCH /posts/[postKey]/comments/[key]` → comments.update
-- `DELETE /posts/[postKey]/comments/[key]` → comments.delete
-
-Named routes are prefixed with the parent name: `postComments`, `postComment`, `editPostComment`, etc.
-
-### Manual Nested Syntax
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="posts", nested=true)
-        .resources("comments")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-### Multiple Levels of Nesting
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) {
-        map.resources(name="comments", callback=function(map2) {
-            map2.resources("replies");
-        });
-    })
-.end();
-```
-
-Keep nesting shallow (2 levels max recommended) for cleaner URLs.
-
-### Nested with Options
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="users", callback=function(map) {
-        // Only index and create for nested orders
-        map.resources(name="orders", only="index,create");
-        // Singular nested resource
-        map.resource("profile");
-    })
-.end();
-```
-
-### Nesting with Namespaces
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .namespace(name="api")
-        .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) {
-            map.resources("comments");
-        })
-    .end()
-.end();
-// Generates: /api/posts/[postKey]/comments/[key]

-## Restricting Routes
-```cfm
-// Only specific actions
-.resources(name="products", only="index,show")
-
-// Exclude specific actions
-.resources(name="products", except="delete")
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `resources("modelName")` in routes.cfm
-2. Create corresponding controller with standard actions
-3. Use generated route names in links: `linkTo(route="product", key=1)`
-4. For nested resources, include the parent key: `linkTo(route="postComment", postKey=post.id, key=comment.id)`

-
-## Root Route Configuration
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources("posts")
-    .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
-.end();
-```
-
-The root route should come after resource definitions and before the wildcard route.
-
-## Important Notes
-- Resources are the primary convention in Wheels
-- Controller names are always plural even for singular resources
-- Both PUT and PATCH map to the update action
-- The parent resource key uses the pattern `[singularNameKey]` (e.g., `postKey`, `userKey`)
-- Callback syntax automatically calls `end()` — no need to close manually

-# Route Model Binding
-
-Auto-resolves model instances from `params.key` during dispatch.
-
-## Enable
-
-```cfm
-// Per-route
-.resources(name="users", binding=true)
-
-// Global
-set(routeModelBinding=true);
-
-// Explicit model name
-.resources(name="writers", binding="Author")
-```
-
-## Behavior
-
-- Convention: controller `posts` → model `Post` → `params.post`
-- Calls `model("Post").findByKey(params.key)`
-- Throws `Wheels.RecordNotFound` if record not found (renders 404)
-- Silently skips if model class doesn't exist
-- Skips routes without `params.key` (index, create)
-- `params.key` is preserved alongside the resolved model
-- Per-route `binding=false` overrides global `true`
-
-## Setting
-
-`routeModelBinding` — default: `false`
-
-## Where in dispatch
-
-Runs in `$createParams()` after `$deobfuscateParams`, before `$createNestedParamStruct`.
-Method: `$resolveRouteModelBinding(params, route)` in `Dispatch.cfc`.

-# Belongs To Association
-
-## Description
-Defines a many-to-one relationship where the current model belongs to another model via a foreign key.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `belongsTo()` in model's `config()` method
-- Use singular form for association name
-- Foreign key column must exist in current model's table
-- Generates convenience methods for accessing parent record
-- Typically paired with hasMany in related model
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Comment model - a comment belongs to a post
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        belongsTo("post");
-
-        // Custom foreign key
-        belongsTo("author", modelName="user", foreignKey="authorId");
-
-        // Multiple belongs to relationships
-        belongsTo("category");
-        belongsTo("user");
-    }
-}
-
-// Usage in controllers/views
-comment = model("comment").findByKey(1);
-post = comment.post();                   // Get associated post
-author = comment.author();               // Get associated author
-
-// Create comment with association
-comment = model("comment").new();
-comment.postId = 5;                      // Set foreign key
-comment.post(model("post").findByKey(5)); // Or set object directly
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `belongsTo("associationName")` in model's `config()` method
-2. Use singular association name (post, user, category)
-3. Ensure foreign key column exists in current table
-4. Access via generated method: `object.associationName()`
-5. Set association: `object.associationName(otherObject)`
-

-- [Finding Records](../queries/finding-records.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Always use singular form for belongsTo associations
-- Foreign key must exist in current model's table
-- Use `modelName` parameter if association name differs from model
-- Use `foreignKey` parameter for non-standard foreign key names
-- Supports polymorphic associations with `type` column

-# Has Many Association
-
-## Description
-Defines a one-to-many relationship where the current model owns multiple records of another model.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `hasMany()` in model's `config()` method
-- Use plural form for association name
-- Foreign key assumed to be `modelName + "Id"`
-- Generates convenience methods for accessing related records
-- Supports through associations for many-to-many relationships
-- **CRITICAL**: Association methods return Query objects, not arrays
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Post model - a post has many comments
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasMany("comments");
-
-        // Custom foreign key
-        hasMany("reviews", foreignKey="postId");
-
-        // Many-to-many through join table
-        hasMany("tags", through="posttags");
-
-        // With conditions
-        hasMany("publishedComments",
-               modelName="comment",
-               where="published = 1");
-    }
-}
-
-// Usage in controllers/views
-post = model("post").findByKey(1);
-comments = post.comments();              // Returns QUERY object, not array
-newComment = post.newComment();          // Create associated comment
-post.addComment(comment);                // Add existing comment
-post.removeComment(comment);             // Remove association
-hasComments = post.hasComments();        // Check if has comments
-
-// ❌ WRONG - Treating query as array
-commentCount = ArrayLen(post.comments());  // ERROR!
-<cfloop array="#post.comments()#" index="comment">  // ERROR!
-
-// ✅ CORRECT - Using query methods
-commentCount = post.comments().recordCount;
-<cfloop query="post.comments()">
-    #post.comments().content#
-</cfloop>
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `hasMany("associationName")` in model's `config()` method
-2. Use plural association name (comments, orders, tags)
-3. Access via generated methods: `object.associationName()`
-4. Create new associated objects: `object.newAssociationName()`
-5. Add/remove associations: `addAssociationName()`, `removeAssociationName()`
-
-## Related
-- [Belongs To Association](./belongs-to.md)
-- [Has One Association](./has-one.md)
-- [Nested Properties](./nested-properties.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Always use plural form for hasMany associations
-- Corresponding belongsTo should exist in related model
-- Foreign key must exist in related table
-- Use `through` parameter for many-to-many relationships
-
-## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Association Parameter Syntax
-
-**The Real Issue: Mixed Positional and Named Parameters**
-Wheels DOES support the `dependent` parameter, but requires consistent parameter syntax:
-
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ INCORRECT - Mixed positional and named parameters -->
-hasMany("comments", dependent="delete");    <!-- Error: can't mix parameter styles -->
-hasMany("orders", dependent="destroy");     <!-- Error: can't mix parameter styles -->
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT - Consistent named parameters -->
-hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
-hasMany(name="orders", dependent="deleteAll");
-
-<!-- ✅ ALSO CORRECT - All positional parameters (no dependent options) -->
-hasMany("comments");
-hasMany("orders");
-```
-
-**Available dependent options:**
-- `dependent="delete"` - Delete associated records when parent is deleted
-- `dependent="deleteAll"` - Delete all associated records (faster, no callbacks)
-- `dependent="nullify"` - Set foreign key to NULL when parent is deleted
-
-**Alternative Cascade Delete Approaches:**
-
-When not using the `dependent` parameter, you have these options:
-
-1. **Database-level cascade**: Set up foreign key constraints with CASCADE DELETE
-2. **Model callbacks**: Implement deletion logic in `beforeDelete` callbacks
-3. **Controller logic**: Handle related record deletion in controller actions
-
-```cfm
-// Option 2: Model callback approach
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasMany("comments");
-        beforeDelete("deleteAssociatedComments");
-    }
-
-    private function deleteAssociatedComments() {
-        // Delete associated comments before post deletion
-        model("Comment").deleteAll(where="postId = #this.id#");
-    }
-}
-
-// Option 3: Controller approach
-function delete() {
-    post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    // Delete comments first
-    model("Comment").deleteAll(where="postId = #post.id#");
-
-    // Then delete post
-    post.delete();
-
-    redirectTo(route="posts", success="Post deleted successfully!");
-}
-```
-
-## Rails vs Wheels Association Differences
-
-Wheels associations are simpler than Rails but lack some advanced features:
-
-```cfm
-// ✅ Wheels - Simple and clean
-hasMany("comments");
-hasMany("tags", through="postTags");
-hasMany("activeComments", modelName="Comment", where="approved = 1");
-
-// ❌ Rails syntax that doesn't work in Wheels
-hasMany("comments", dependent: :destroy, validate: false, autosave: true);
-hasMany("comments", -> { where(approved: true) }, dependent: :delete_all);
-```

-# Has One Association
-
-## Description
-Defines a one-to-one relationship where the current model owns exactly one record of another model.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `hasOne()` in model's `config()` method
-- Use singular form for association name
-- Foreign key exists in related model's table
-- Less common than hasMany but useful for table splits
-- Generates convenience methods for accessing related record
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// User model - a user has one profile
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasOne("profile");
-
-        // Custom foreign key
-        hasOne("account", foreignKey="userId");
-
-        // With conditions
-        hasOne("activeProfile",
-               modelName="profile",
-               where="active = 1");
-    }
-}
-
-// Profile model - a profile belongs to a user
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        belongsTo("user");
-    }
-}
-
-// Usage in controllers/views
-user = model("user").findByKey(1);
-profile = user.profile();                // Get associated profile
-newProfile = user.newProfile();          // Create associated profile
-user.setProfile(profile);                // Set association
-hasProfile = user.hasProfile();          // Check if has profile
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `hasOne("associationName")` in model's `config()` method
-2. Use singular association name (profile, account, setting)
-3. Ensure foreign key exists in related model's table
-4. Access via generated method: `object.associationName()`
-5. Create new associated object: `object.newAssociationName()`

-
-## Important Notes
-- Use singular form for hasOne associations
-- Foreign key must exist in related model's table
-- Typically paired with belongsTo in related model
-- Common for table splits and optional data
-- Less frequently used than hasMany associations

-# Nested Properties
-
-## Description
-Allows saving associated models through nested attributes from form submissions and complex data structures.
-
-## Key Points
-- Enable with `nestedProperties()` in model configuration
-- Supports hasMany, hasOne, and belongsTo associations
-- Handles create, update, and delete of associated records
-- Automatic validation of nested objects
-- Useful for complex forms with multiple models
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Post model with nested comments
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasMany("comments");
-        nestedProperties(association="comments", allowDelete=true);
-
-        // Multiple nested properties
-        hasOne("author");
-        nestedProperties(association="author");
-    }
-}
-
-// Controller handling nested form submission
-function create() {
-    post = model("post").new(params.post);
-
-    // params.post might contain:
-    // {
-    //   title: "My Post",
-    //   body: "Content...",
-    //   comments: [
-    //     {body: "Great post!", authorName: "John"},
-    //     {body: "Thanks!", authorName: "Jane"}
-    //   ]
-    // }
-
-    if (post.save()) {
-        redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
-    } else {
-        renderView(action="new");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `nestedProperties(association="name")` in model's `config()`
-2. Use `allowDelete=true` to enable record deletion
-3. Submit nested data as arrays (hasMany) or structs (hasOne/belongsTo)
-4. Call `save()` on parent object to save all nested data
-5. Handle validation errors for both parent and nested objects
-
-## Related
-- [Has Many Association](./has-many.md)
-- [Form Helpers](../../views/helpers/forms.md)
-- [Object Validation](../validations/presence.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Nested properties require existing associations
-- Use `allowDelete=true` carefully - enables record deletion
-- Validations run on all nested objects
-- Complex forms benefit from nested properties
-- Transaction safety - all or nothing saves

-# Advanced Migration Operations
-
-## Description
-Advanced database migration operations for complex schema changes, data manipulation, and custom SQL execution in Wheels migrations.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `removeTable()` to drop entire tables
-- Use `renameTable()` to rename existing tables
-- Use `execute()` to run custom SQL commands
-- Support for views, triggers, and stored procedures
-- Data migration and transformation operations
-- Batch operations for large datasets

-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Use `removeTable(tableName)` to drop complete tables
-2. Use `renameTable(oldName, newName)` to rename tables
-3. Use `execute(sql)` for custom SQL commands
-4. Always wrap operations in transactions
-5. Test both up and down operations thoroughly
-
-## Advanced Operations
-- **`removeTable(name)`** - Drops a table completely
-- **`renameTable(oldName, newName)`** - Renames an existing table
-- **`execute(sql)`** - Executes raw SQL commands
-- **`addForeignKey()`** - Adds foreign key constraints
-- **`removeForeignKey()`** - Removes foreign key constraints
-- **`changeColumn()`** - Modifies existing column properties

-## Important Notes
-- Always test migrations on development data first
-- Use transactions to ensure atomicity
-- Consider performance impact of large data migrations
-- Database-specific SQL may not be portable
-- Backup data before running destructive operations
-- Test rollback scenarios thoroughly
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Data Migration Safety
-```cfm
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Create backup before major changes
-        execute("CREATE TABLE users_backup AS SELECT * FROM users");
-
-        // Perform migration
-        // ... migration code ...
-
-        // Verify migration success
-        local.originalCount = queryExecute("SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt FROM users_backup").cnt;
-        local.newCount = queryExecute("SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt FROM users").cnt;
-
-        if (local.originalCount != local.newCount) {
-            throw("Data migration failed: record count mismatch");
-        }
-
-        // Drop backup on success
-        execute("DROP TABLE users_backup");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Conditional Operations
-```cfm
-function up() {
-    // Check if table exists before dropping
-    if (tableExists("legacy_table")) {
-        removeTable("legacy_table");
-    }
-
-    // Check if column exists before adding
-    if (!columnExists("users", "email_verified")) {
-        addColumn(table="users", columnType="boolean", columnName="email_verified", default=false);
-    }
-}
-
-private function tableExists(required string tableName) {
-    local.result = queryExecute("
-        SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt
-        FROM information_schema.tables
-        WHERE table_name = ?
-    ", [arguments.tableName]);
-
-    return local.result.cnt > 0;
-}
-```
-
-### Batch Processing
-```cfm
-function up() {
-    // Process large datasets in batches
-    local.batchSize = 1000;
-    local.offset = 0;
-
-    do {
-        local.processed = queryExecute("
-            UPDATE users
-            SET normalized_email = LOWER(email)
-            WHERE id IN (
-                SELECT id FROM users
-                WHERE normalized_email IS NULL
-                ORDER BY id
-                LIMIT ?
-                OFFSET ?
-            )
-        ", [local.batchSize, local.offset]);
-
-        local.offset += local.batchSize;
-    } while (local.processed.recordCount > 0);
-}
-```
-
-## Security Considerations
-- Validate all user input in custom SQL
-- Use parameterized queries when possible
-- Avoid concatenating user data directly into SQL
-- Be cautious with `execute()` - it bypasses Wheels' SQL injection protection
-- Review custom SQL for potential vulnerabilities
-- Test migrations with malicious data scenarios

-# Migration Best Practices
-
-## Working with Existing Database Schemas
-
-### Pre-Migration Schema Check (CRITICAL)
-
-**Before creating ANY migration, always check for existing tables:**
-
-```bash
-# Check current migration status
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Verify existing tables in database
-# (Check your database directly or use database tools)
-```
-
-### Common Scenario: Tables Already Exist
-
-**Situation:** Installation already has tables from previous work
-
-**Problem:** Attempting to create new migrations for existing tables causes errors:
-```
-Error migrating: Table "POSTS" already exists
-Error migrating: Object "COMMENTS_POSTID_FK" already exists
-```
-
-### Solutions for Existing Schemas
-
-#### Option 1: Use Existing Tables (Recommended)
-```cfm
-// Instead of creating new migration for existing table
-// Verify table structure matches your model needs
-// Only create migrations for missing columns/tables
-
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        // Add only NEW columns to existing table
-        t = changeTable(name="posts");
-        t.text(columnNames="excerpt");  // Add missing column
-        t.change();
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        t = changeTable(name="posts");
-        t.removeColumn(columnNames="excerpt");
-        t.change();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-#### Option 2: Check Before Creating
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        // Check if table exists before creating
-        var tables = getAvailableTables();
-
-        if (!arrayContains(tables, "posts")) {
-            t = createTable(name="posts");
-            t.string(columnNames="title");
-            t.text(columnNames="content");
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-#### Option 3: Clean Up Conflicting Migrations
-```bash
-# Remove migrations that try to recreate existing tables
-rm app/migrator/migrations/[timestamp]_CreatePostsTable.cfc
-rm app/migrator/migrations/[timestamp]_CreateCommentsTable.cfc
-```
-
-### Schema Mismatch Resolution
-
-**Problem:** Seed migration expects columns that don't exist in existing table
-
-**Example Error:**
-```
-Column "excerpt" not found in table "posts"
-```
-
-**Solution:** Modify migrations to match actual schema:
-
-```cfm
-// ❌ BEFORE (fails with existing schema):
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, slug, content, excerpt, ...)
-         VALUES ('Title', 'slug', 'Content', 'Excerpt', ...)");
-
-// ✅ AFTER (works with existing schema):
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, slug, content, ...)
-         VALUES ('Title', 'slug', 'Content', ...)");
-// Removed excerpt column from INSERT
-```
-
-### Schema Inspection Best Practices
-
-**Always inspect existing schema before writing migrations:**
-
-```cfm
-// Method 1: Use database info functions
-var tables = getAvailableTables();
-var columns = getTableInfo("posts");
-
-// Method 2: Query information schema
-<cfquery name="tableInfo" datasource="#get('dataSourceName')#">
-    SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, IS_NULLABLE
-    FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
-    WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'posts'
-    ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION
-</cfquery>
-
-// Method 3: Test with simple query
-<cfquery name="testSchema" datasource="#get('dataSourceName')#">
-    SELECT * FROM posts WHERE 1=0
-</cfquery>
-<cfset availableColumns = ListToArray(testSchema.columnList)>
-```
-
-## Data Seeding Best Practices
-
-### Direct SQL for Reliability
-
-**Use direct SQL statements, not parameter binding:**
-
-```cfm
-// ✅ RELIABLE: Direct SQL
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, content, createdAt, updatedAt)
-         VALUES ('Sample Post', 'Content here...', NOW(), NOW())");
-
-// ❌ UNRELIABLE: Parameter binding in migrations
-execute(
-    sql="INSERT INTO posts (title, content) VALUES (?, ?)",
-    parameters=[
-        {value=title, cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"},
-        {value=content, cfsqltype="cf_sql_longvarchar"}
-    ]
-);
-```
-
-### Database-Agnostic Date Handling
-
-**Use CFML date functions for portability:**
-
-```cfm
-// ✅ PORTABLE: Works with H2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server
-var now = Now();
-var day7 = DateAdd("d", -7, now);
-
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt) VALUES (
-    'Recent Post',
-    TIMESTAMP '#DateFormat(day7, "yyyy-mm-dd")# #TimeFormat(day7, "HH:mm:ss")#',
-    TIMESTAMP '#DateFormat(now, "yyyy-mm-dd")# #TimeFormat(now, "HH:mm:ss")#'
-)");
-
-// ❌ DATABASE-SPECIFIC: Only works with MySQL
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 7 DAY))");
-```
-
-### Incremental Data Seeding
-
-**Break large data sets into manageable chunks:**
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            // Define data array
-            var posts = [
-                {title: "Post 1", date: "2025-09-01 10:00:00"},
-                {title: "Post 2", date: "2025-09-02 11:00:00"},
-                {title: "Post 3", date: "2025-09-03 12:00:00"}
-            ];
-
-            // Insert each post
-            for (var post in posts) {
-                execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-                    '#post.title#',
-                    '#post.date#',
-                    '#post.date#',
-                    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-                )");
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Transaction Management
-
-### Always Wrap Operations in Transactions
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            try {
-                // All migration operations
-                t = createTable(name="posts");
-                t.string(columnNames="title");
-                t.create();
-
-                execute("INSERT INTO posts (title) VALUES ('First Post')");
-
-            } catch (any e) {
-                local.exception = e;
-            }
-
-            if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-                transaction action="rollback";
-                Throw(
-                    errorCode = "1",
-                    detail = local.exception.detail,
-                    message = local.exception.message,
-                    type = "any"
-                );
-            } else {
-                transaction action="commit";
-            }
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            try {
-                dropTable("posts");
-            } catch (any e) {
-                local.exception = e;
-            }
-
-            if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-                transaction action="rollback";
-                Throw(
-                    errorCode = "1",
-                    detail = local.exception.detail,
-                    message = local.exception.message,
-                    type = "any"
-                );
-            } else {
-                transaction action="commit";
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Migration Workflow Best Practices
-
-### 1. Plan Before Creating
-
-**Checklist before generating migration:**
-- [ ] Check if tables already exist
-- [ ] Verify current schema matches needs
-- [ ] Identify only NEW changes needed
-- [ ] Plan both `up()` and `down()` methods
-- [ ] Consider data seeding requirements
-
-### 2. One Logical Change Per Migration
-
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Single focused migration
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="AddExcerptToPosts" {
-    function up() {
-        t = changeTable(name="posts");
-        t.text(columnNames="excerpt");
-        t.change();
-    }
-}
-
-// ❌ BAD: Multiple unrelated changes
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="MiscChanges" {
-    function up() {
-        // Multiple unrelated table changes
-        t = changeTable(name="posts");
-        t.text(columnNames="excerpt");
-        t.change();
-
-        t = createTable(name="comments");
-        // ...
-        t.create();
-
-        execute("INSERT INTO users ...");  // Unrelated data seeding
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Always Implement down() Method
-
-**Every migration must be reversible:**
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        addIndex(table="posts", columnNames="slug", unique=true);
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        removeIndex(table="posts", indexName="posts_slug");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Test Migrations Both Ways
-
-```bash
-# Test up migration
-wheels dbmigrate up
-
-# Verify changes in database
-
-# Test down migration
-wheels dbmigrate down
-
-# Verify rollback worked
-
-# Re-run up migration
-wheels dbmigrate up
-```
-
-### 5. Never Modify Completed Migrations
-
-**If migration is already run in production:**
-- ❌ Don't edit the existing migration
-- ✅ Create a NEW migration to make changes
-
-```cfm
-// ❌ DON'T edit 20250901120000_CreatePostsTable.cfc
-
-// ✅ CREATE new migration: 20250902140000_AddExcerptToPosts.cfc
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        t = changeTable(name="posts");
-        t.text(columnNames="excerpt");
-        t.change();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Testing Migrations
-
-### Verify Data After Migration
-
-```cfm
-// After running migration, verify in controller or view
-posts = model("Post").findAll(order="createdAt DESC");
-
-// Check data loaded correctly
-<cfloop query="posts">
-    <p>#posts.title# - Published: #DateFormat(posts.publishedAt, "mmm d, yyyy")#</p>
-</cfloop>
-```
-
-### Debug Migration Issues
-
-```cfm
-// Add temporary debug output (remove before production)
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, createdAt) VALUES ('Test Post', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)");
-WriteOutput("Inserted test post successfully<br>");
-
-// Check database state
-<cfquery name="checkPosts" datasource="#get('dataSourceName')#">
-    SELECT COUNT(*) as postCount FROM posts
-</cfquery>
-WriteOutput("Total posts: #checkPosts.postCount#<br>");
-```
-
-### Test in Development First
-
-**Migration testing workflow:**
-
-1. **Development**: Test migration with dev database
-2. **Staging**: Test migration with production-like data
-3. **Production**: Deploy with confidence
-
-```bash
-# Development testing
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-# Verify functionality
-wheels dbmigrate down
-wheels dbmigrate up
-
-# Staging testing
-# (repeat same tests with larger dataset)
-
-# Production deployment
-# (coordinate with team, have rollback plan)
-```
-
-## Common Pitfalls to Avoid

-1. **Don't assume clean slate** - Always check for existing schema
-2. **Don't use database-specific functions** - Use CFML for portability
-3. **Don't skip transactions** - Always wrap operations for safety
-4. **Don't forget down() method** - Every migration must be reversible
-5. **Don't modify completed migrations** - Create new ones instead
-6. **Don't skip testing** - Test both up and down migrations
-7. **Don't use complex parameter binding** - Direct SQL is more reliable

-# Migration Column Types
-
-## Description
-Wheels migrations support various column types with options for constraints, defaults, and database-specific features.
-
-## Key Points
-- Standard SQL types with CFML-friendly names
-- Options for length, precision, null constraints
-- Default values and auto-increment support
-- Database-specific type variations supported
-- Timestamps helper for audit fields
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        t = createTable(name="products", force=false);
-
-        // String types
-        t.string(columnNames="name", limit=100, allowNull=false);
-        t.text(columnNames="description");
-
-        // Numeric types
-        t.integer(columnNames="quantity", allowNull=false, default=0);
-        t.bigInteger(columnNames="views");
-        t.decimal(columnNames="price", precision=10, scale=2);
-        t.float(columnNames="rating");
-
-        // Date/time types
-        t.date(columnNames="releaseDate");
-        t.datetime(columnNames="lastModified");
-        t.timestamps(); // Creates createdAt, updatedAt, deletedAt
-
-        // Other types
-        t.boolean(columnNames="active", default=true);
-        t.binary(columnNames="image");
-
-        t.create();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-- Use type methods on table builder: `t.string()`, `t.integer()`
-- Specify constraints: `allowNull=false`, `default=value`
-- Set limits: `limit=255`, `precision=10, scale=2`
-- Use `timestamps()` for automatic audit fields
-
-## Related
-- [Creating Migrations](./creating-migrations.md)
-- [Running Migrations](./running-migrations.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- `timestamps()` creates createdAt, updatedAt, deletedAt
-- `text(size="longtext")` for MySQL large text
-- Use appropriate precision for decimal financial data
-- Database introspection shows actual column types

-# Creating Migrations
-
-## Description
-Database migrations are version-controlled scripts that modify database schema systematically and reversibly.
-
-## Key Points
-- Generated via CLI commands in `/app/migrator/migrations/`
-- Named with timestamp prefix: `[YYYYMMDDHHmmss]_description.cfc`
-- Must extend `wheels.migrator.Migration`
-- Every migration has `up()` and `down()` methods
-- Always wrap operations in transactions
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Generate migration
-wheels dbmigrate create table create_users_table
-
-// Generated file: 20240125143022_create_users_table.cfc
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            t = createTable(name="users", force=false);
-            t.string(columnNames="firstName,lastName", allowNull=false);
-            t.string(columnNames="email", limit=100, allowNull=false);
-            t.boolean(columnNames="active", default=true);
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-
-            addIndex(table="users", columnNames="email", unique=true);
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            dropTable("users");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Use CLI: `wheels dbmigrate create [type] [name]`
-2. Types: `blank`, `table`, `column`
-3. Edit generated file to add schema changes
-4. Implement both `up()` and `down()` methods
-5. Run with `wheels dbmigrate latest`

-
-## Data Seeding in Migrations
-Migrations can also be used for data seeding, especially for initial application data:
-
-```cfm
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Create table first
-        t = createTable(name="posts", force=false);
-        t.string(columnNames="title", limit=255, allowNull=false);
-        t.text(columnNames="body", allowNull=false);
-        t.timestamps();
-        t.create();
-
-        // Seed initial data - use direct SQL for reliability
-        execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, body, createdAt, updatedAt)
-                 VALUES ('Sample Post', 'This is sample content.', NOW(), NOW())");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Note:** For complex data seeding, use direct SQL statements with `execute()` rather than parameter binding, which can be unreliable in migration context.
-
-## Important Notes
-- One logical change per migration
-- Never modify completed migrations
-- Test both up and down operations
-- Always use transactions for atomicity
-- For data seeding, prefer direct SQL over complex parameter binding
-- Can combine schema creation and data seeding in single migration

-# Wheels Migration Date Function Issues
-
-## Critical Problem: CFML Date Functions in Migrations
-
-### ❌ **The Problem**
-```cfm
-<!-- This causes migration failures -->
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt) VALUES (
-            'My Post',
-            '" & DateFormat(DateAdd('d', -10, Now()), 'yyyy-mm-dd') & "',
-            '" & DateFormat(Now(), 'yyyy-mm-dd') & "'
-        )");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Error Messages:**
-- `Variable [NOW] doesn't exist`
-- `Function [DATEFORMAT] not found`
-- Migration execution failures
-
-### ✅ **The Solution**
-```cfm
-<!-- Use static date strings instead -->
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt) VALUES (
-            'My Post',
-            '2025-09-08 10:00:00',
-            '2025-09-18 20:00:00'
-        )");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Why This Happens
-
-**Root Cause**: The migration execution context has limited access to CFML functions, and string concatenation with date functions often fails during SQL execution.
-
-**Migration Context Limitations:**
-- Restricted function scope
-- SQL string parsing issues
-- Date format inconsistencies
-- Transaction rollback complications
-
-## Safe Migration Patterns
-
-### ✅ **Static Date Values**
-```cfm
-<!-- Best practice: Use ISO format static dates -->
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-    'Machine Learning in Web Development',
-    '2025-09-08 10:00:00',
-    '2025-09-08 10:00:00',
-    '2025-09-18 20:00:00'
-)");
-```
-
-### ✅ **Database-Native Functions**
-```cfm
-<!-- Use database-specific date functions -->
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-    'Current Post',
-    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
-    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
-    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-)");
-
-<!-- For H2 database -->
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-    'Recent Post',
-    DATEADD('DAY', -7, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),
-    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
-    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-)");
-```
-
-### ✅ **Loop-Based Data Generation**
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            try {
-                // Define static data array
-                var posts = [
-                    {title: "Post 1", date: "2025-09-08 10:00:00"},
-                    {title: "Post 2", date: "2025-09-09 11:00:00"},
-                    {title: "Post 3", date: "2025-09-10 12:00:00"}
-                ];
-
-                // Insert each post
-                for (var post in posts) {
-                    execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-                        '#post.title#',
-                        '#post.date#',
-                        '#post.date#',
-                        CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-                    )");
-                }
-            } catch (any e) {
-                local.exception = e;
-            }
-
-            if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-                transaction action="rollback";
-                Throw(errorCode = "1", detail = local.exception.detail, message = local.exception.message, type = "any");
-            } else {
-                transaction action="commit";
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Database-Agnostic Date Handling (RECOMMENDED)
-
-### ✅ **Best Practice: Use CFML Date Functions**
-
-**For maximum portability across databases (H2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server), use CFML date math:**
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        var now = Now();
-        var day1 = DateAdd("d", -1, now);
-        var day7 = DateAdd("d", -7, now);
-        var month1 = DateAdd("m", -1, now);
-
-        execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-            'Recent Post',
-            TIMESTAMP '#DateFormat(day1, "yyyy-mm-dd")# #TimeFormat(day1, "HH:mm:ss")#',
-            TIMESTAMP '#DateFormat(day1, "yyyy-mm-dd")# #TimeFormat(day1, "HH:mm:ss")#',
-            TIMESTAMP '#DateFormat(now, "yyyy-mm-dd")# #TimeFormat(now, "HH:mm:ss")#'
-        )");
-
-        execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-            'Week Old Post',
-            TIMESTAMP '#DateFormat(day7, "yyyy-mm-dd")# #TimeFormat(day7, "HH:mm:ss")#',
-            TIMESTAMP '#DateFormat(day7, "yyyy-mm-dd")# #TimeFormat(day7, "HH:mm:ss")#',
-            TIMESTAMP '#DateFormat(now, "yyyy-mm-dd")# #TimeFormat(now, "HH:mm:ss")#'
-        )");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Advantages:**
-- Works consistently across all databases
-- Easier to test and debug
-- More readable CFML date math
-- Avoids database-specific function differences
-- Better for team collaboration
-
-## Database-Specific Date Handling (If Needed)
-
-**⚠️ Only use database-specific functions if you're locked into one database platform.**
-
-### H2 Database (Development)
-```cfm
-<!-- H2 date functions -->
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)");
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (DATEADD('DAY', -30, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))");
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (PARSEDATETIME('2025-09-18 10:00:00', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'))");
-```
-
-### MySQL
-```cfm
-<!-- MySQL date functions -->
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (NOW())");
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY))");
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (STR_TO_DATE('2025-09-18 10:00:00', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s'))");
-```
-
-### PostgreSQL
-```cfm
-<!-- PostgreSQL date functions -->
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)");
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '30 days')");
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (TO_TIMESTAMP('2025-09-18 10:00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'))");
-```
-
-### SQL Server
-```cfm
-<!-- SQL Server date functions -->
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (GETDATE())");
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (DATEADD(DAY, -30, GETDATE()))");
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (publishedAt) VALUES (CONVERT(DATETIME, '2025-09-18 10:00:00', 120))");
-```
-
-## Safe Migration Template
-
-### Complete Migration Example
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="SeedBlogPosts" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            try {
-                // Insert posts with static dates
-                execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, content, slug, published, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-                    'Getting Started with Wheels',
-                    '<p>Wheels is a powerful CFML framework...</p>',
-                    'getting-started-Wheels',
-                    1,

-                    '2025-09-01 09:00:00',
-                    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-                )");
-
-                execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, content, slug, published, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES (
-                    'Advanced Wheels Patterns',

-                    '2025-09-02 10:00:00',
-                    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-                )");
-
-            } catch (any e) {
-                local.exception = e;
-            }
-
-            if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-                transaction action="rollback";
-                Throw(errorCode = "1", detail = local.exception.detail, message = local.exception.message, type = "any");
-            } else {
-                transaction action="commit";
-            }
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            try {
-                execute("DELETE FROM posts WHERE slug IN (
-                    'getting-started-Wheels',
-                    'advanced-Wheels-patterns'
-                )");
-            } catch (any e) {
-                local.exception = e;
-            }
-
-            if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-                transaction action="rollback";
-                Throw(errorCode = "1", detail = local.exception.detail, message = local.exception.message, type = "any");
-            } else {
-                transaction action="commit";
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Migration Best Practices
-
-### 1. Date Format Standards
-```cfm
-<!-- Always use ISO 8601 format -->
-'2025-09-18 20:00:00'  <!-- YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS -->
-
-<!-- Avoid these formats in migrations -->
-'9/18/2025'            <!-- Ambiguous -->
-'18-Sep-2025'          <!-- Text month -->
-'2025.09.18'           <!-- Non-standard separator -->
-```
-
-### 2. Transaction Safety
-```cfm
-<!-- Always wrap in transactions -->
-transaction {
-    try {
-        // Migration operations
-    } catch (any e) {
-        local.exception = e;
-    }
-
-    if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-        transaction action="rollback";
-        Throw(errorCode = "1", detail = local.exception.detail, message = local.exception.message, type = "any");
-    } else {
-        transaction action="commit";
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Error Handling
-```cfm
-<!-- Include detailed error information -->
-catch (any e) {
-    WriteLog(
-        file="migration-errors",
-        text="Migration failed: #e.message# - #e.detail#",
-        type="error"
-    );
-    local.exception = e;
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Data Validation
-```cfm
-<!-- Validate data before insertion -->
-if (len(trim(postTitle)) AND len(trim(postContent))) {
-    execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, content) VALUES ('#postTitle#', '#postContent#')");
-} else {
-    Throw(message="Invalid post data: title and content required");
-}
-```
-
-## Testing Migration Data
-
-### Verify Data After Migration
-```cfm
-<!-- After running migration, verify in controller or view -->
-posts = model("Post").findAll(order="createdAt DESC");
-WriteDump(var=posts, label="Migrated Posts");
-
-<!-- Check date formats -->
-<cfloop query="posts">
-    <p>#posts.title# - Published: #DateFormat(posts.publishedAt, "mmm d, yyyy")#</p>
-</cfloop>
-```
-
-### Debug Migration Issues
-```cfm
-<!-- Add debug output to migrations (remove before production) -->
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, publishedAt) VALUES ('Test Post', '2025-09-18 10:00:00')");
-WriteOutput("Inserted test post successfully<br>");
-
-<!-- Check database state -->
-<cfquery name="checkPosts" datasource="#get('dataSourceName')#">
-    SELECT COUNT(*) as postCount FROM posts
-</cfquery>
-WriteOutput("Total posts: #checkPosts.postCount#<br>");
-```
-
-## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
-
-1. **Don't use CFML date functions** in SQL strings within migrations
-2. **Don't rely on server timezone** - use explicit dates
-3. **Don't use complex date calculations** - keep it simple
-4. **Don't forget transaction handling** for data integrity
-5. **Don't skip the down() method** - always provide rollback
-
-This pattern was discovered during actual blog development when date function migrations consistently failed until switching to static date strings.

-# Migration Rollback
-
-## Description
-Reverse database migrations using the `down()` method to undo schema changes systematically.
-
-## Key Points
-- `wheels dbmigrate down` rolls back last migration
-- `wheels dbmigrate reset` rolls back all migrations
-- `down()` method must reverse `up()` exactly
-- Use transactions to ensure atomicity
-- Production rollbacks should be restricted
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            addColumn(table="users", column="phoneNumber", type="string", limit=15);
-            addIndex(table="users", columnNames="phoneNumber");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            removeIndex(table="users", columnNames="phoneNumber");
-            dropColumn(table="users", columnNames="phoneNumber");
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-// Commands
-wheels dbmigrate down     // Rollback last migration
-wheels dbmigrate reset    // Rollback ALL migrations (caution!)
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Ensure `down()` method reverses `up()` operations
-2. Test rollback in development: up → down → up
-3. Use `down` for single migration rollback
-4. Use `reset` only in development (destroys all data)
-5. Disable in production with `allowMigrationDown=false`
-

-
-## Important Notes
-- Down must exactly reverse up operations
-- Order matters: reverse the sequence of up operations
-- Always test rollback before deploying
-- Production rollbacks risk data loss
-- Some operations cannot be reversed (data deletion)

-# Running Migrations
-
-## Description
-Execute database migrations to apply schema changes using Wheels CLI commands.
-
-## Key Points
-- `wheels dbmigrate info` shows current status
-- `wheels dbmigrate latest` runs all pending migrations
-- `wheels dbmigrate up` runs next migration only
-- Migrations tracked in `c_o_r_e_migrator_versions` table
-- Can automate in production with settings
-
-## Code Sample
-```bash
-# Check migration status
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Run all pending migrations (most common)
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-
-# Run one migration at a time
-wheels dbmigrate up
-
-# Run specific migration version
-wheels dbmigrate exec 20240125143022
-
-# Production automation in settings.cfm
-set(autoMigrateDatabase=true);        // Auto-run on app start
-set(allowMigrationDown=false);        // Prevent rollbacks
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Check status: `wheels dbmigrate info`
-2. Run pending: `wheels dbmigrate latest`
-3. Monitor output for errors
-4. Verify changes in database
-5. Use automation for production deployments

-- Always backup production before migrations
-- Test migrations in development first
-- Migration versions stored in database
-- Failed migrations may leave partial changes
-- Use `latest` for production deployments

-# Tenant Migrations
-
-## Description
-
-`TenantMigrator` runs the standard Wheels migrator against multiple tenant datasources in sequence. It temporarily sets `request.wheels.tenant` for each tenant so the migration uses the correct datasource.
-
-## `migrateAll()` API
-
-```cfm
-var tm = new wheels.migrator.TenantMigrator();
-var results = tm.migrateAll(
-    action = "latest",           // string — "latest", "up", "down", or "info"
-    tenants = [],                // array of structs — static tenant list
-    tenantProvider = function(){},// closure — returns array of tenant structs (used if tenants is empty)
-    stopOnError = true           // boolean — stop on first failure (default: true)
-);
-```
-
-### Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
-|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `action` | string | `"latest"` | Migration action to perform |
-| `tenants` | array | `[]` | Static list of tenant structs (each needs `dataSource`, optionally `id` and `config`) |
-| `tenantProvider` | closure | — | Called when `tenants` is empty; must return array of tenant structs |
-| `stopOnError` | boolean | `true` | If true, stops iterating on first failure |
-
-### Return Struct
-
-```cfm
-{
-    success: [
-        {tenant: "acme", dataSource: "acme_ds", output: "..."},
-        {tenant: "globex", dataSource: "globex_ds", output: "..."}
-    ],
-    failed: [
-        {tenant: "initech", dataSource: "initech_ds", error: "Table already exists"}
-    ],
-    total: 3
-}
-```
-
-## Static vs Dynamic Tenant Lists
-
-### Static List
-```cfm
-var results = tm.migrateAll(
-    action = "latest",
-    tenants = [
-        {id: "acme", dataSource: "acme_ds"},
-        {id: "globex", dataSource: "globex_ds"}
-    ]
-);
-```
-
-### Dynamic Provider
-```cfm
-var results = tm.migrateAll(
-    action = "latest",
-    tenantProvider = function() {
-        return model("Tenant").findAll(returnAs="structs", select="id, dsName AS dataSource");
-    }
-);
-```
-
-The provider closure is called once at the start. Use this when tenants are stored in a database and the list changes over time.
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### `stopOnError = true` (Default)
-Stops iterating on the first tenant that fails. Already-succeeded tenants are not rolled back. The `failed` array contains at most one entry.
-
-### `stopOnError = false`
-Continues to all remaining tenants. Collects all errors in the `failed` array. Use this for "migrate as many as possible" scenarios.
-
-### Validation
-Tenant structs without a `dataSource` key (or with an empty value) are added to `failed` with error: `"Tenant struct missing required 'dataSource' key"`.
-
-## How It Works Internally
-
-For each tenant:
-1. Set `request.wheels.tenant` to the tenant context
-2. Call `$createMigrator(dataSource)`:
-   - Temporarily set `application.wheels.dataSourceName` to tenant's datasource
-   - Instantiate `wheels.migrator.Migrator()` (picks up the temporary DS)
-   - Restore original `application.wheels.dataSourceName`
-3. Call `migrator.migrate(action)` — runs against tenant DS
-4. On success, append to `results.success`
-5. On failure, append to `results.failed`; break if `stopOnError`
-6. Always clean up `request.wheels.tenant` in `finally` block

-# Creating Records
-
-## Description
-Create new database records using `new()` and `save()` methods or the shorthand `create()` method.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `new()` to create object in memory, `save()` to persist
-- Use `create()` to create and save in one step
-- Pass struct of attributes to populate object
-- Primary key auto-populated after save
-- Support for database and model defaults
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Create empty object, set properties, save
-newAuthor = model("author").new();
-newAuthor.firstName = "John";
-newAuthor.lastName = "Doe";
-newAuthor.save();
-
-// Create from struct (form params)
-newAuthor = model("author").new(params.author);
-newAuthor.save();
-
-// Create and save in one step
-author = model("author").create(params.author);
-
-// Access auto-generated primary key after save
-newAuthor = model("author").new(firstName="Jane", lastName="Smith");
-newAuthor.save();
-newID = newAuthor.id; // Available after save
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Create object: `model("name").new()`
-2. Set properties: `object.property = value`
-3. Save to database: `object.save()`
-4. Or use shorthand: `model("name").create(struct)`
-5. Access generated keys after save

-## Important Notes
-- Objects exist in memory until `save()` called
-- Primary keys available immediately after save
-- Use `reload=true` to get database defaults
-- Validations run automatically on save
-- Failed saves return false, successful saves return true

-# Deleting Records
-
-## Description
-Delete records from the database using object methods or bulk deletion with criteria matching.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `delete()` method on objects for single record deletion
-- Use `deleteAll()` for bulk deletion with WHERE criteria
-- Soft delete supported with `softDelete()` method
-- Callbacks and validations run on deletion
-- Associated records handled based on association settings
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Delete single record by object
-author = model("author").findByKey(1);
-author.delete();
-
-// Delete single record directly
-model("author").deleteByKey(1);
-
-// Bulk delete with criteria
-model("user").deleteAll(where="active = 0 AND lastLoginAt < '2022-01-01'");
-
-// Soft delete (marks as deleted, doesn't remove)
-author = model("author").findByKey(1);
-author.softDelete();
-
-// Check if deletion was successful
-author = model("author").findByKey(1);
-if (author.delete()) {
-    flashInsert(success="Author deleted successfully");
-} else {
-    flashInsert(error="Could not delete author");
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Find record to delete
-2. Call `delete()` method on object
-3. Or use `deleteByKey()` with primary key
-4. Use `deleteAll()` for bulk operations
-5. Handle return value (true/false)
-
-## Related
-- [Finding Records](./finding-records.md)
-- [Associations](../associations/has-many.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Deletion callbacks run before/after deletion
-- Associated records handled per association settings
-- `deleteAll()` bypasses individual object callbacks
-- Soft delete preserves data with deleted flag
-- Always handle potential deletion failures

-# Finding Records
-
-## Description
-Wheels provides several finder methods to retrieve records from the database as objects or query results with various criteria and options.
-
-## Key Points
-- `findByKey()` - finds single record by primary key
-- `findOne()` - finds single record by criteria, returns object
-- `findAll()` - finds multiple records, returns query result
-- `findFirst()` - finds first record ordered by specified property
-- `reload()` - refreshes object with current database values
-- Supports complex WHERE conditions, ordering, pagination
-- Automatic column mapping and table prefixing
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Find by primary key - returns object or false
-author = model("author").findByKey(5);
-if (IsObject(author)) {
-    // Use author object
-}
-
-// Find one record by criteria - returns object or false
-latestOrder = model("order").findOne(order="datePurchased DESC");
-
-// Find multiple records - returns query result
-activeUsers = model("user").findAll(where="active = 1", order="lastName ASC");
-
-// Complex queries with associations
-articlesWithAuthors = model("article").findAll(
-    where="publishedAt IS NOT NULL",
-    include="author",
-    order="publishedAt DESC",
-    page=1,
-    perPage=10
-);
-
-// Find first record ordered by property
-firstUser = model("user").findFirst(); // Orders by primary key ASC by default
-oldestUser = model("user").findFirst(property="createdAt", $sort="ASC");
-newestUser = model("user").findFirst(property="createdAt", $sort="DESC");
-
-// Reload object to get fresh database values
-user = model("user").findByKey(5);
-// ... user object may be modified elsewhere ...
-user.reload(); // Refreshes all properties from database
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Use `findByKey(id)` for single records by primary key
-2. Use `findOne()` for single records with criteria
-3. Use `findAll()` for multiple records or lists
-4. Use `findFirst(property, $sort)` for first record ordered by property
-5. Use `reload()` to refresh object with current database values
-6. Add WHERE conditions with operators: `=, !=, <>, <, <=, >, >=, LIKE, IN`
-7. Order results with `order="column ASC/DESC"`
-8. Paginate with `page` and `perPage` arguments
-
-## Related
-- [Creating Records](./creating-records.md)
-- [Updating Records](./updating-records.md)
-- [Associations](../associations/has-many.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Strings must be in single quotes in WHERE clauses
-- SQL keywords must be uppercase (ASC, DESC, AND, OR)
-- Automatic conversion to cfqueryparam for security
-- Include associations to avoid N+1 query problems
-- `findFirst()` defaults to primary key ordering if no property specified
-- `reload()` discards any unsaved changes to the object
-- Use `reload()` after external database modifications

-# Updating Records
-
-## Description
-Update existing database records by modifying object properties and saving, or using direct update methods.
-
-## Key Points
-- Modify properties directly, call `save()` to persist
-- Use `update()` method to update and save in one step
-- `updateAll()` for bulk updates matching criteria
-- Validations run automatically on updates
-- Optimistic locking supported with version columns
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Find, modify properties, save
-author = model("author").findByKey(1);
-author.firstName = "Jane";
-author.email = "jane@example.com";
-author.save();
-
-// Update with struct in one step
-author = model("author").findByKey(1);
-author.update(firstName="Jane", email="jane@example.com");
-
-// Bulk update matching criteria
-model("user").updateAll(
-    where="lastLoginAt < '2023-01-01'",
-    values={active: false, notes: "Inactive user"}
-);
-
-// Update with validation handling
-if (author.update(params.author)) {
-    redirectTo(route="author", key=author.id, success="Author updated!");
-} else {
-    // Handle validation errors
-    renderView(action="edit");
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Find record: `model().findByKey()` or `findOne()`
-2. Modify properties: `object.property = newValue`
-3. Save changes: `object.save()` or `object.update(struct)`
-4. Handle validation results (true/false return)
-5. Use `updateAll()` for bulk operations
-
-## Related
-- [Finding Records](./finding-records.md)
-- [Creating Records](./creating-records.md)
-- [Object Validation](../validations/presence.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Changes not persisted until `save()` or `update()` called
-- Validations and callbacks run on updates
-- Use transactions for multiple related updates
-- `updateAll()` bypasses validations and callbacks
-- Check return value for success/failure

-# Database Seeding
-
-Convention-based, idempotent seeding system with CLI and programmatic support.
-
-## File Conventions
-
-| File | Purpose | When it runs |
-|------|---------|-------------|
-| `app/db/seeds.cfm` | Shared seeds (all environments) | Always first |
-| `app/db/seeds/development.cfm` | Dev-only seeds | After seeds.cfm, in development |
-| `app/db/seeds/production.cfm` | Production seeds | After seeds.cfm, in production |
-
-Execution is wrapped in a transaction. Shared seeds run first, then environment-specific seeds.
-
-## seedOnce() — Idempotent Insert
-
-`seedOnce()` checks for existing records via `uniqueProperties` before inserting. Re-running seeds is always safe.
-
-```cfm
-// app/db/seeds.cfm — Shared seeds
-seedOnce(modelName="Role", uniqueProperties="name", properties={
-    name: "admin", description: "Administrator"
-});
-seedOnce(modelName="Role", uniqueProperties="name", properties={
-    name: "member", description: "Regular member"
-});
-
-// app/db/seeds/development.cfm — Dev-only seeds
-seedOnce(modelName="User", uniqueProperties="email", properties={
-    firstName: "Dev", lastName: "User", email: "dev@example.com"
-});
-```
-
-**How it works**: calls `findOne()` with the `uniqueProperties` fields. If no match, creates the record. If a match exists, skips silently.
-
-## CLI Commands
-
-```bash
-wheels db:seed                          # Run convention seeds (auto-detect)
-wheels db:seed --environment=production # Seed for specific environment
-wheels db:seed --generate               # Generate random test data (legacy)
-wheels db:seed --generate --count=10    # Generate 10 records per model
-wheels generate seed                    # Create app/db/seeds.cfm
-wheels generate seed --all              # Create seeds.cfm + dev/prod stubs
-```
-
-## Programmatic Access
-
-The seeder component is available at `application.wheels.seeder`:
-
-```cfm
-application.wheels.seeder.runSeeds();
-```
-
-## Migration Seed Data
-
-For seed data inside migrations, use direct SQL (not `seedOnce()`):
-
-```cfm
-// Parameter binding is unreliable in migrations — use inline SQL
-execute("INSERT INTO roles (name, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES ('admin', NOW(), NOW())");
-```
-
-See `.ai/wheels/database/migrations/best-practices.md` for migration-specific guidance.

-# Custom Validation
-
-## Description
-Create custom validation logic using the `validate()`, `validateOnCreate()`, and `validateOnUpdate()` methods.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `validate()` for all operations, `validateOnCreate()` and `validateOnUpdate()` for specific operations
-- Custom methods should call `addError()` when validation fails
-- Can access object properties and external resources
-- Supports conditional validation with model state
-- Runs after built-in validations
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Run on all save operations
-        validate("validateBusinessRules");
-
-        // Run only on create
-        validateOnCreate("validateNewUserRequirements");
-
-        // Run only on update
-        validateOnUpdate("validatePasswordChange");
-    }
-
-    private function validateBusinessRules() {
-        // Custom business logic validation
-        if (this.age < 18 && this.accountType == "premium") {
-            addError(property="age", message="Premium accounts require age 18+");
-        }
-
-        // Cross-field validation
-        if (this.startDate > this.endDate) {
-            addError(property="endDate", message="End date must be after start date");
-        }
-
-        // External validation (API, service, etc.)
-        if (!isValidCreditCard(this.creditCardNumber)) {
-            addError(property="creditCardNumber", message="Invalid credit card number");
-        }
-    }
-
-    private function validatePasswordChange() {
-        // Only run on updates if password changed
-        if (hasChanged("password") && Len(this.password) < 8) {
-            addError(property="password", message="Password must be at least 8 characters");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `validate()`, `validateOnCreate()`, or `validateOnUpdate()` in `config()`
-2. Create private methods for validation logic
-3. Use `addError(property, message)` to register validation failures
-4. Access object properties with `this.propertyName`
-5. Use `hasChanged()` to check if properties were modified
-
-## Related

-## Important Notes
-- Custom validations run after built-in validations
-- Use `addError()` to add validation failures
-- Access to full object state and external resources
-- Can validate relationships and business rules
-- Should be private methods for security

-# Format Validation
-
-## Description
-Validates that property values match specific regular expression patterns or formats.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `validatesFormatOf()` with regular expression patterns
-- Common for email, phone, URL, and custom format validation
-- Supports both `regEx` and `type` parameters
-- Built-in types: email, URL, numeric, creditcard
-- Case-sensitive matching by default
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Email format validation
-        validatesFormatOf(
-            property="email",
-            regEx="^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$",
-            message="Please enter a valid email address"
-        );
-
-        // Built-in email type
-        validatesFormatOf(property="email", type="email");
-
-        // Phone number format
-        validatesFormatOf(
-            property="phoneNumber",
-            regEx="^\(\d{3}\) \d{3}-\d{4}$",
-            message="Format: (555) 123-4567"
-        );
-
-        // URL validation
-        validatesFormatOf(property="website", type="url");
-
-        // Custom format with conditions
-        validatesFormatOf(
-            property="socialSecurityNumber",
-            regEx="^\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}$",
-            when="onCreate",
-            allowBlank=true
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `validatesFormatOf()` in model's `config()` method
-2. Use `regEx` parameter for custom patterns
-3. Use `type` parameter for built-in formats
-4. Set `allowBlank=true` to skip validation on empty values
-5. Add helpful error messages for user guidance
-
-## Related

-- Use `allowBlank=true` for optional formatted fields
-- Combine with presence validation for required formatted fields

-# Presence Validation
-
-## Description
-Ensures that specified properties have non-blank values before saving to the database.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `validatesPresenceOf()` in model's `config()` method
-- Automatically applied to NOT NULL database columns
-- Checks for empty strings, null values, and whitespace-only strings
-- Multiple properties can be validated in single call
-- Can be conditional with `when`, `condition`, or `unless`
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Basic presence validation
-        validatesPresenceOf("firstName,lastName,email");
-
-        // Single property
-        validatesPresenceOf(property="username");
-
-        // Conditional validation
-        validatesPresenceOf(
-            property="phoneNumber",
-            when="onUpdate",
-            message="Phone number is required for updates"
-        );
-
-        // Custom condition
-        validatesPresenceOf(
-            property="companyName",
-            condition="this.userType == 'business'"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `validatesPresenceOf()` in model's `config()` method
-2. Specify single property or comma-separated list
-3. Add conditions if validation only applies in certain scenarios
-4. Custom error messages with `message` argument
-

-# Uniqueness Validation
-
-## Description
-Ensures that property values are unique across all records in the database table.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `validatesUniquenessOf()` for unique constraints
-- Performs database query to check for existing values
-- Supports scoped uniqueness (unique within a subset)
-- Case-sensitive by default, can be made case-insensitive
-- Should be paired with database unique indexes
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Basic uniqueness validation
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
-
-        // Case-insensitive uniqueness
-        validatesUniquenessOf(
-            property="username",
-            caseSensitive=false
-        );
-
-        // Scoped uniqueness (unique within a group)
-        validatesUniquenessOf(
-            property="name",
-            scope="categoryId",
-            message="Product name must be unique within category"
-        );
-
-        // Multiple scoped uniqueness
-        validatesUniquenessOf(
-            property="email",
-            scope="tenantId,status"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Add `validatesUniquenessOf()` in model's `config()` method
-2. Specify property to check for uniqueness
-3. Use `scope` for uniqueness within a subset
-4. Set `caseSensitive=false` for case-insensitive checks
-5. Always add corresponding database unique index

-- [Format Validation](./format.md)
-- [Database Indexes](../migrations/creating-migrations.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Requires database query - has performance impact
-- Race condition possible - use database unique constraints
-- Case-sensitive by default
-- Scope limits uniqueness to subset of records
-- Update operations ignore current record in uniqueness check

-# File Downloads
-
-## Description
-Serve files for download using Wheels' `sendFile()` method with support for secure file serving, custom headers, and content type detection.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `sendFile()` to serve files for download
-- Automatic content type detection
-- Custom filename and headers support
-- Secure file access with authentication
-- Streaming for large files
-- Error handling for missing files
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {

-
-## Usage
-1. Call `sendFile()` with file path and optional parameters
-2. Handle authentication and authorization before serving files
-3. Validate file paths and extensions for security
-4. Clean up temporary files after sending
-5. Log downloads for audit purposes
-
-## Parameters
-- `file` (required) - Absolute path to the file
-- `name` (optional) - Custom filename for download
-- `type` (optional) - MIME type (auto-detected if not provided)
-- `disposition` (optional) - "attachment" (download) or "inline" (display)
-
-## Related
-- [Security](../security/https-detection.md)
-- [Controller Filters](../controllers/filters/authentication.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Always validate file paths to prevent directory traversal attacks
-- Use absolute paths with `expandPath()` for file locations
-- Check file existence before attempting to serve
-- Implement proper access control for sensitive files
-- Clean up temporary files to prevent disk space issues
-- Consider streaming for very large files
-
-## Security Best Practices
-```cfm
-// Validate file path to prevent directory traversal
-private function isValidFilePath(required string filename) {
-    // Remove any path separators and parent directory references
-    local.cleanName = Replace(arguments.filename, "..", "", "ALL");
-    local.cleanName = Replace(local.cleanName, "/", "", "ALL");
-    local.cleanName = Replace(local.cleanName, "\", "", "ALL");
-
-    return local.cleanName == arguments.filename;
-}
-
-// Check file extension whitelist
-private function isAllowedFileType(required string filename) {
-    local.allowedExtensions = "pdf,doc,docx,txt,jpg,png,gif,zip";
-    local.extension = LCase(ListLast(arguments.filename, "."));
-
-    return ListFindNoCase(local.allowedExtensions, local.extension);
-}
-
-// Rate limiting for downloads
-private function checkDownloadLimit() {
-    local.userDownloads = model("DownloadLog").count(
-        where="userId = #session.userId# AND downloadedAt > #DateAdd('h', -1, Now())#"
-    );
-
-    if (local.userDownloads > 10) {
-        flashInsert(error="Download limit exceeded. Please try again later.");
-        redirectTo(action="index");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-- Use `cfcontent` with `cfheader` for more control over large files
-- Implement resume support for large downloads
-- Consider CDN integration for frequently downloaded files
-- Cache file metadata to avoid repeated database queries
-- Use appropriate buffer sizes for file streaming

-## Component Patterns
-
-### 1. Responsive Grid Layout (Tailwind CSS)
-```cfm
-<!-- Blog posts grid that adapts to screen size -->
-<div class="grid gap-8 lg:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3">
-    <cfif posts.recordCount>
-        <cfloop query="posts">
-            <article class="bg-white rounded-lg shadow-sm border hover:shadow-md transition-shadow">

-
-## Performance Optimizations
-
-### CSS Optimizations
-```html
-<!-- Custom CSS for better performance -->
-<style>
-    /* Line clamping for consistent layouts */
-    .line-clamp-2 {
-        display: -webkit-box;
-        -webkit-line-clamp: 2;
-        -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
-        overflow: hidden;
-    }
-
-    .line-clamp-3 {
-        display: -webkit-box;
-        -webkit-line-clamp: 3;
-        -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
-        overflow: hidden;
-    }
-
-    /* HTMX loading states */
-    .htmx-indicator {
-        display: none;
-    }
-
-    .htmx-request .htmx-indicator {
-        display: block;
-    }
-
-    /* Smooth transitions */
-    .transition-all {
-        transition: all 0.3s ease;
-    }
-</style>
-```
-
-### JavaScript Optimizations
-```html
-<!-- Defer non-critical JavaScript -->
-<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/alpinejs@3.x.x/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>
-
-<!-- Configure HTMX for better UX -->
-<script>
-    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
-        // Global HTMX configuration
-        htmx.config.globalViewTransitions = true;
-        htmx.config.scrollBehavior = 'smooth';
-
-        // Custom HTMX events
-        document.body.addEventListener('htmx:beforeSwap', function(evt) {
-            if (evt.detail.xhr.status === 422) {
-                // Handle validation errors
-                evt.detail.shouldSwap = true;
-                evt.detail.isError = false;
-            }
-        });
-    });
-</script>
-```
-
-## Integration with Wheels Features
-
-### Flash Messages with Tailwind Styling

-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. CDN vs Local Assets
-```cfm
-<!-- Development: Use CDN for faster iteration -->
-<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
-
-<!-- Production: Download and serve locally -->
-<!-- <link href="/stylesheets/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> -->
-```
-
-### 2. Progressive Enhancement
-```cfm
-<!-- Ensure basic functionality works without JavaScript -->
-<noscript>
-    <style>
-        [x-cloak] { display: none !important; }
-        .htmx-indicator { display: none !important; }
-    </style>
-</noscript>
-
-<!-- Hide Alpine.js components until loaded -->
-<div x-data="{ loaded: false }" x-init="loaded = true" x-cloak>
-    <div x-show="loaded">
-        <!-- Content here -->
-    </div>
-</div>
-```
-
-### 3. Accessibility Considerations
-```cfm
-<!-- ARIA labels and roles -->
-<button @click="showMenu = !showMenu"
-        :aria-expanded="showMenu"
-        aria-label="Toggle navigation menu"
-        class="md:hidden">
-    <span class="sr-only">Open main menu</span>
-    <!-- Icon -->
-</button>
-
-<!-- Semantic HTML structure -->
-<main role="main" aria-label="Main content">
-    <cfoutput>#includeContent()#</cfoutput>
-</main>
-```
-
-This integration pattern was successfully tested in a real Wheels blog application, demonstrating seamless compatibility between traditional server-side rendering and modern frontend technologies.

-1. **No Build Process Required**: All three technologies (Tailwind, Alpine.js, HTMX) work perfectly via CDN without any build configuration
-2. **Zero Conflicts**: Alpine.js directives (`x-data`, `@click`, `x-show`) don't conflict with CFML templating
-3. **CFML Integration**: Tailwind utility classes work seamlessly within `<cfoutput>` blocks
-4. **Form Enhancement**: Wheels form helpers integrate smoothly with Tailwind styling
-5. **Responsive Design**: Tailwind's responsive classes work out-of-the-box for mobile/desktop views
-
-### 🎯 Best Practices Validated
-
-**From Multiple Production Implementations:**
-
-- **Layout Structure**: Single `<cfoutput>` block wrapping entire HTML ensures all expressions evaluate
-- **CDN Approach**: Perfect for rapid development and prototyping
-- **Progressive Enhancement**: Start with server-side rendering, add interactivity incrementally
-- **Component Reusability**: Alpine.js components work consistently across all views
-- **HTMX + Wheels**: Natural fit for partial updates and form submissions
-
-### 📊 Performance Characteristics
-
-- **Initial Load**: Fast with CDN caching (Tailwind ~50KB gzipped, Alpine.js ~15KB, HTMX ~14KB)
-- **Runtime Performance**: Minimal JavaScript overhead, most work done server-side
-- **Developer Experience**: Rapid iteration without build steps or compilation delays
-- **SEO Friendly**: Full server-side rendering maintains excellent SEO
-
-### 🚀 Production Recommendations
-
-**For Development:**
-- Use CDN versions for all libraries
-- Leverage Tailwind's JIT (Just-In-Time) mode via CDN
-- Keep Alpine.js logic simple and declarative
-
-**For Production:**
-- Consider downloading and serving libraries locally for reliability
-- Use production CDN URLs with SRI (Subresource Integrity) hashes
-- Implement caching headers for static assets
-
-### 💡 Common Integration Patterns
-
-1. **Mobile-First Navigation**: Alpine.js for mobile menu, Tailwind for responsive layout
-2. **Form Validation**: Wheels validation + Tailwind error states
-3. **Dynamic Content**: HTMX for partial updates, Alpine.js for UI state
-4. **Flash Messages**: Wheels flash system + Tailwind alert styling
-
-This approach enables modern, interactive UIs while maintaining Wheels' server-side strengths.

-# Background Jobs
-
-## Description
-Wheels provides a database-backed job queue system for running tasks asynchronously. Jobs are persisted to a `wheels_jobs` table, processed in priority order, and automatically retried with exponential backoff on failure.
-
-## Key Points
-- Jobs extend `wheels.Job` and implement a `perform()` method
-- Database-backed persistence ensures jobs survive server restarts
-- Automatic retry with exponential backoff (2^n seconds)
-- Priority queues with named queue support
-- Dead letter handling for permanently failed jobs
-- Queue stats, retry, and purge management
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### 1. Run the Migration
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-This creates the `wheels_jobs` table. The migration is at `app/migrator/migrations/20260221000001_createwheels_jobs_table.cfc`.
-
-### 2. Create a Job
-```cfm
-// app/jobs/SendWelcomeEmailJob.cfc
-component extends="wheels.Job" {
-
-    function config() {
-        super.config();
-        this.queue = "mailers";
-        this.maxRetries = 5;
-    }
-
-    public void function perform(struct data = {}) {
-        sendEmail(
-            to=data.email,
-            from="noreply@example.com",
-            subject="Welcome!",
-            template="/emails/welcome"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Enqueue the Job
-```cfm
-// In a controller action
-job = new app.jobs.SendWelcomeEmailJob();
-job.enqueue(data={email: user.email, name: user.firstName});
-```
-
-### 4. Process Jobs
-```cfm
-// In a scheduled task, CLI command, or controller
-job = new wheels.Job();
-result = job.processQueue(queue="mailers", limit=10);
-// result = {processed: 5, failed: 1, errors: [...]}
-```
-
-## Job Configuration
-
-Override defaults in your job's `config()` method:
-
-| Property | Default | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `this.queue` | `"default"` | Queue name for routing jobs |
-| `this.priority` | `0` | Priority (higher = processed first) |
-| `this.maxRetries` | `3` | Max retry attempts before marking as failed |
-| `this.retryBackoff` | `"exponential"` | Backoff strategy |
-| `this.timeout` | `300` | Job timeout in seconds |
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.Job" {
-    function config() {
-        super.config();
-        this.queue = "critical";
-        this.priority = 10;
-        this.maxRetries = 5;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Enqueueing Jobs
-
-### Immediate Processing
-```cfm
-job = new app.jobs.ProcessOrderJob();
-result = job.enqueue(data={orderId: 123});
-// result.id = "UUID", result.status = "pending"
-```
-
-### Delayed Processing
-```cfm
-// Process after 5 minutes
-job.enqueueIn(seconds=300, data={orderId: 123});
-
-// Process after 1 hour
-job.enqueueIn(seconds=3600, data={report: "daily"});
-```
-
-### Scheduled Processing
-```cfm
-// Process at a specific time
-job.enqueueAt(
-    runAt=CreateDateTime(2026, 3, 1, 9, 0, 0),
-    data={type: "monthly_report"}
-);
-```
-
-### Override Queue and Priority
-```cfm
-job.enqueue(data={}, queue="high_priority", priority=100);
-```
-
-## Processing Jobs
-
-### Basic Processing
-```cfm
-job = new wheels.Job();
-result = job.processQueue();
-// Processes up to 10 pending jobs from all queues
-```
-
-### Filtered Processing
-```cfm
-// Process only from a specific queue
-result = job.processQueue(queue="mailers", limit=20);
-```
-
-### Processing Flow
-1. Jobs with `status='pending'` and `runAt <= NOW()` are selected
-2. Ordered by `priority DESC, runAt ASC` (highest priority, oldest first)
-3. Each job is marked `status='processing'` and `attempts` incremented
-4. The job's `perform()` method is called with the stored data
-5. On success: `status='completed'`, `completedAt` set
-6. On failure:
-   - If attempts < maxRetries: `status='pending'`, `runAt` set to future (exponential backoff)
-   - If attempts >= maxRetries: `status='failed'`, `failedAt` set (dead letter)
-
-### Retry Backoff Schedule
-| Attempt | Delay |
-|---------|-------|
-| 1st retry | 4 seconds |
-| 2nd retry | 8 seconds |
-| 3rd retry | 16 seconds |
-| 4th retry | 32 seconds |
-| 5th retry | 64 seconds |
-
-## Queue Management
-
-### Queue Statistics
-```cfm
-job = new wheels.Job();
-stats = job.queueStats();
-// {pending: 12, processing: 2, completed: 458, failed: 3, total: 475}
-
-// Filter by queue
-stats = job.queueStats(queue="mailers");
-```
-
-### Retry Failed Jobs
-```cfm
-// Retry all failed jobs (resets attempts, sets status to pending)
-count = job.retryFailed();
-
-// Retry only a specific queue
-count = job.retryFailed(queue="mailers");
-```
-
-### Purge Completed Jobs
-```cfm
-// Delete completed jobs older than 7 days
-count = job.purgeCompleted(days=7);
-
-// Delete completed jobs older than 30 days from a specific queue
-count = job.purgeCompleted(days=30, queue="reports");
-```
-
-## Database Schema
-
-The `wheels_jobs` table has these columns:
-
-| Column | Type | Description |
-|--------|------|-------------|
-| `id` | VARCHAR(36) | UUID primary key |
-| `jobClass` | VARCHAR(255) | Fully qualified CFC path |
-| `queue` | VARCHAR(100) | Queue name |
-| `data` | TEXT | JSON-serialized job data |
-| `priority` | INTEGER | Processing priority |
-| `status` | VARCHAR(20) | pending, processing, completed, failed |
-| `attempts` | INTEGER | Number of execution attempts |
-| `maxRetries` | INTEGER | Max allowed retries |
-| `lastError` | TEXT | Last error message |
-| `runAt` | DATETIME | When to process |
-| `completedAt` | DATETIME | When completed |
-| `failedAt` | DATETIME | When permanently failed |
-| `createdAt` | DATETIME | When enqueued |
-| `updatedAt` | DATETIME | Last status change |
-
-## Running Workers
-
-### Job Worker Daemon (Recommended)
-Use the CLI worker daemon for persistent job processing:
-
-```bash
-# Start a worker for all queues
-wheels jobs work
-
-# Process specific queues with custom interval
-wheels jobs work --queue=mailers,default --interval=3
-
-# Run multiple workers for parallelism
-wheels jobs work --queue=mailers &
-wheels jobs work --queue=default &
-```
-
-Workers claim jobs using optimistic locking (`UPDATE WHERE status='pending' AND id=:id`), so multiple workers can safely run concurrently without processing duplicates.
-
-### CLI Management Commands
-```bash
-wheels jobs status              # Per-queue breakdown
-wheels jobs status --format=json # JSON output
-wheels jobs retry               # Reset failed jobs to pending
-wheels jobs retry --queue=mailers --limit=10
-wheels jobs purge               # Purge completed jobs > 7 days
-wheels jobs purge --completed --failed --older-than=30
-wheels jobs monitor             # Live dashboard
-```
-
-### Scheduled Task (Alternative)
-Set up a CFML scheduled task to call `processQueue()` periodically:
-
-```cfm
-// In a controller or scheduled task runner
-function processJobs() {
-    var job = new wheels.Job();
-
-    // Process each queue
-    var result = job.processQueue(queue="default", limit=25);
-    var mailResult = job.processQueue(queue="mailers", limit=10);
-
-    // Clean up old completed jobs
-    job.purgeCompleted(days=7);
-
-    renderWith(data={
-        default: result,
-        mailers: mailResult
-    });
-}
-```
-
-## JobWorker Engine
-The `wheels.JobWorker` CFC provides the core worker logic:
-- `processNext(queues, timeout)` — Claim and process one job with optimistic locking
-- `checkTimeouts(timeout)` — Recover jobs stuck in 'processing'
-- `getStats(queue)` — Per-queue breakdown with totals
-- `getMonitorData(queue, minutes)` — Throughput, error rates, recent jobs
-- `retryFailed(queue, limit)` — Reset failed jobs to pending
-- `purge(status, days, queue)` — Delete old completed/failed jobs
-
-## Configurable Backoff
-Jobs support configurable exponential backoff via `this.baseDelay` and `this.maxDelay`:
-```cfm
-this.baseDelay = 2;     // Base delay in seconds (default: 2)
-this.maxDelay = 3600;   // Maximum delay cap (default: 3600)
-// Formula: Min(baseDelay * 2^attempt, maxDelay)
-```
-
-## Multi-Tenant Jobs
-
-Jobs automatically capture and restore tenant context. When a job is enqueued within a tenant request, the current `request.wheels.tenant` is serialized into the job's data as `$wheelsTenantContext`. When the job processes, the context is restored before `perform()` runs and removed from the data struct.
-
-### Capture (on enqueue)
-```cfm
-// In Job.cfc $insertJob() — automatic, no user code needed
-if (IsDefined("request.wheels.tenant.dataSource") && Len(request.wheels.tenant.dataSource)) {
-    arguments.data["$wheelsTenantContext"] = {
-        id: request.wheels.tenant.id,
-        dataSource: request.wheels.tenant.dataSource,
-        config: request.wheels.tenant.config
-    };
-}
-```
-
-### Restore (on process)
-```cfm
-// In Job.cfc $processJob() — automatic
-// 1. Deserialize job data
-// 2. If $wheelsTenantContext exists, set request.wheels.tenant
-// 3. Remove $wheelsTenantContext from data before calling perform()
-// 4. Call perform(data)
-// 5. Clean up request.wheels.tenant in finally block
-```
-
-### Example
-```cfm
-// Enqueued within a tenant request — context captured automatically
-job = new app.jobs.GenerateInvoiceJob();
-job.enqueue(data={userId: user.id});
-
-// When processed, perform() runs with the tenant's datasource active
-// model("Invoice").create(...) hits the correct tenant database
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Keep `perform()` idempotent** — Jobs may be retried, so handle duplicate execution gracefully
-2. **Use specific queues** — Separate `mailers`, `reports`, `default` to control throughput
-3. **Set appropriate retries** — Transient failures (network) deserve more retries than logic errors
-4. **Pass minimal data** — Store IDs, not entire objects. Look up fresh data in `perform()`
-5. **Handle errors** — Let exceptions propagate for automatic retry; catch only for graceful handling
-6. **Purge regularly** — Schedule `purgeCompleted()` to prevent table bloat
-7. **Monitor stats** — Use `queueStats()` to track queue health

-# Wheels MCP Server
-
-Wheels ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so AI coding agents — Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Continue, Windsurf — can call the CLI's generators, runners, and introspection tools directly. The canonical surface is the LuCLI stdio MCP server, invoked as `wheels mcp wheels`.
-
-## Architecture
-
-The Wheels CLI binary (`wheels`) is a renamed LuCLI. When an AI IDE is configured with `.mcp.json`, it launches `wheels mcp wheels` as a stdio subprocess on demand. LuCLI's `McpCommand` handles the JSON-RPC transport; tools are auto-discovered from the public functions in `cli/lucli/Module.cfc`.
-
-```
-AI IDE (Claude Code / Cursor / ...)
-        │
-        ▼  stdio subprocess (JSON-RPC)
-  wheels mcp wheels
-        │
-        ▼
-  LuCLI McpCommand.java
-        │
-        ▼  getComponentMetadata("modules.wheels.Module")
-  cli/lucli/Module.cfc   ← tool inventory + schemas
-```
-
-**Key properties:**
-
-- **No port**, no dev server required for tool discovery or invocation
-- **Auto-discovered schemas**: LuCLI reads each public function's parameter metadata (name, type, hint, default, required) and emits JSONSchema per tool
-- **Curated surface**: `mcpHiddenTools()` returns a list of public functions to hide from MCP `tools/list` (stateful, interactive, or meta commands stay CLI-only)
-- **Dev server bridge**: tools that inspect live app state (`routes`, `info`, `reload`) HTTP-bridge to a running Wheels dev server. Tools that operate on the filesystem (`generate`, `stats`, `notes`) run in-process without a server
-
-## Tool inventory (16 MCP-exposed)
-
-| Tool | What it does |
-|---|---|
-| `wheels_generate` | Scaffold components (model, controller, view, migration, scaffold, api-resource, route, test, property, helper, snippets, admin) |
-| `wheels_migrate` | Run database migrations (latest / up / down / info) |
-| `wheels_seed` | Run convention-based or generated seeds |
-| `wheels_test` | Run the WheelsTest suite (optional filter + reporter + db) |
-| `wheels_reload` | Reload the running Wheels app |
-| `wheels_analyze` | Static analysis for anti-patterns, complexity, code smells |
-| `wheels_validate` | Validate app structure for common errors |
-| `wheels_routes` | List configured routes (method, path, controller#action) |
-| `wheels_info` | Framework version, environment, config summary |
-| `wheels_destroy` | Remove generated components (inverse of generate) |
-| `wheels_doctor` | Health checks (directories, files, config, permissions, database) |
-| `wheels_stats` | Code statistics (files, LOC, comments) |
-| `wheels_notes` | Extract TODO / FIXME / OPTIMIZE annotations |
-| `wheels_db` | Database management (reset, status, version) |
-| `wheels_upgrade` | Pre-upgrade breaking-change check |
-| `wheels_create` | Create application components (`create app <name>`) |
-
-## Tools hidden from MCP
-
-These remain CLI-only via `mcpHiddenTools()`:
-
-- `mcp` — meta command (shows MCP setup instructions)
-- `d` — alias for `destroy` (avoids duplicate surface)
-- `new` — scaffolds a whole new Wheels project (too destructive for an agent to do unprompted)
-- `console` — interactive CFML REPL (not usable over stdio JSON-RPC)
-- `start` / `stop` — dev server process lifecycle (stateful, side-effectful)
-- `browser` — multi-step browser testing flow
-
-All are reachable as CLI subcommands (`wheels start`, `wheels new myapp`, etc.) — this filter is purely about which tools an AI agent sees.
-
-## Auto-discovery: how schemas are generated
-
-LuCLI walks each public function's parameter metadata and emits a JSONSchema. Example:
-
-```cfm
-/**
- * hint: Generate Wheels components (model, controller, view, ...)
- * @type Component type
- * @name Component name
- * @attributes Space-separated attributes
- */
-public string function generate(
-    string type = "",
-    string name = "",
-    string attributes = ""
-) { ... }
-```
-
-becomes:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "generate",
-  "description": "Generate Wheels components (model, controller, view, ...)",
-  "inputSchema": {
-    "type": "object",
-    "properties": {
-      "type": {"type": "string", "description": "Component type"},
-      "name": {"type": "string", "description": "Component name"},
-      "attributes": {"type": "string", "description": "Space-separated attributes"}
-    },
-    "additionalProperties": false
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Required parameters (CFML `required` attribute) appear in the `required` array. Defaults appear as `default` on each property.
-
-## Transport details
-
-- **Stdio JSON-RPC**: one message per line, newline-delimited. Server must never emit non-protocol data to stdout.
-- **Output capture**: LuCLI redirects `System.out` / `System.err` / its own `StringOutput` streams to a buffer during each tool call. `BaseModule.out()` writes via dynamic `createObject("java","java.lang.System").out.println(...)` so the capture sees the output.
-- **Initialize handshake**: protocol version `2024-11-05`; server advertises `tools` capability only (no `resources` or `prompts`).
-
-## Legacy HTTP MCP (deprecated)
-
-A legacy HTTP endpoint at `http://localhost:<port>/wheels/mcp` still exists for backward compatibility but is deprecated. It emits a one-time warning to the `wheels_mcp` log on first request and advertises `deprecated: true` in its `serverInfo` handshake. Use `wheels mcp setup --force` to migrate projects from HTTP to stdio config.

-# MCP Setup
-
-Configure your AI IDE to use the Wheels MCP server. The same stdio config works for Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, and Windsurf; OpenCode uses a slightly different shape.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Install the `wheels` CLI on PATH: `brew install wheels` (macOS) or the Chocolatey equivalent on Windows
-- Confirm with: `wheels --version` (should show 0.3.8 or later — 0.3.7 and earlier miss the output-capture fix)
-
-## Fast path
-
-From your Wheels project root:
-
-```bash
-wheels mcp setup
-```
-
-This writes `.mcp.json` + `.opencode.json` with the stdio config. Restart your AI IDE to pick them up.
-
-To migrate an existing project away from the legacy HTTP config:
-
-```bash
-wheels mcp setup --force
-```
-
-## Manual config
-
-### `.mcp.json` (Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf)
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "wheels",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-If you want the Browser MCP alongside Wheels:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "wheels",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    },
-    "browsermcp": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["@browsermcp/mcp@latest"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### `.opencode.json` (OpenCode)
-
-```json
-{
-  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
-  "mcp": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "type": "local",
-      "command": ["wheels", "mcp", "wheels"],
-      "enabled": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Verify the connection
-
-After restarting the IDE, open its MCP panel and confirm 16 tools are visible:
-
-```
-wheels_generate    wheels_migrate    wheels_seed       wheels_test
-wheels_reload      wheels_analyze    wheels_validate   wheels_routes
-wheels_info        wheels_destroy    wheels_doctor     wheels_stats
-wheels_notes       wheels_db         wheels_upgrade    wheels_create
-```
-
-Ask the agent to run a safe read-only tool like `wheels_info` or `wheels_routes` to confirm the bridge works end-to-end.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Tools list is empty or wrong count
-
-- Older LuCLI (<0.3.4) doesn't honor `mcpHiddenTools()` — you'd see 23–24 tools including `mcp`, `d`, `new`, `console`, `start`, `stop`, `browser`, `mcphiddentools`. Upgrade: `brew upgrade wheels`.
-- Older LuCLI (<0.3.7) has broken MCP output capture — tools return empty content. Same fix: upgrade.
-
-### `command not found: wheels` from the IDE
-
-The IDE may not inherit your shell PATH. Either:
-
-- Use an absolute path: `"command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/wheels"` (macOS) or the equivalent path from `which wheels`
-- Configure the IDE's MCP integration to source your shell profile before launching subprocesses
-
-### Agent sees empty input schemas
-
-- The function's signature is untyped (`public string function foo()` with no declared parameters). Rich schemas require typed signatures — see [overview.md](overview.md) for the pattern.
-- Requires LuCLI ≥ v0.3.8 for CLI positional args to bind to typed params. MCP named args work on any version.
-
-### Tool runs but response is truncated or incomplete
-
-- Deprecation notice from the HTTP endpoint? You're still pointed at the old HTTP MCP. Run `wheels mcp setup --force` and restart the IDE.
-- Stdio output capture issue: upgrade to LuCLI ≥ v0.3.7.

-# Middleware Pipeline
-
-## Architecture
-
-Middleware runs at the dispatch level in `Dispatch.cfc`, wrapping controller execution. The pipeline uses nested closures (onion model) — first registered = outermost layer.
-
-```
-Dispatch.$request()
-  → $buildMiddlewarePipeline()        # on $init(), from application.wheels.middleware
-  → $getRouteMiddleware(params)       # per-request, from matched route
-  → Pipeline.run(request, coreHandler)
-      → middleware[1].handle(request, next)
-          → middleware[2].handle(request, next)
-              → coreHandler(request)   # controller() + processAction()
-```
-
-## Key Files
-
-| File | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `vendor/wheels/middleware/MiddlewareInterface.cfc` | Contract: `handle(request, next)` |
-| `vendor/wheels/middleware/Pipeline.cfc` | Chains middleware via nested closures |
-| `vendor/wheels/middleware/RequestId.cfc` | Adds `X-Request-Id` header + `request.wheels.requestId` |
-| `vendor/wheels/middleware/Cors.cfc` | CORS headers + OPTIONS preflight |
-| `vendor/wheels/middleware/SecurityHeaders.cfc` | OWASP security headers |
-| `vendor/wheels/middleware/TenantResolver.cfc` | Multi-tenant resolution + datasource switching |
-| `vendor/wheels/Dispatch.cfc` | `$buildMiddlewarePipeline()`, `$getRouteMiddleware()`, modified `$request()` |
-| `vendor/wheels/mapper/scoping.cfc` | `middleware` param on `scope()`, parent-child merging |
-| `vendor/wheels/mapper/matching.cfc` | Copies `middleware` from scope stack to matched route |
-| `vendor/wheels/events/onapplicationstart.cfc` | Initializes `application.$wheels.middleware = []` |
-
-## Pipeline.cfc Internals
-
-`Pipeline.run(request, coreHandler)` iterates middleware in reverse, wrapping each around the next handler:
-
-```cfm
-// Build chain from inside out
-local.next = arguments.coreHandler;
-for (local.i = ArrayLen(variables.middleware); local.i >= 1; local.i--) {
-    local.next = $wrapMiddleware(variables.middleware[local.i], local.next);
-}
-return local.next(arguments.request);
-```
-
-**CFML closure scoping gotcha:** `$wrapMiddleware` uses a shared `var ctx = {}` struct because closures in CFML have their own `local` scope. Writing `local.mw` inside a closure creates a new variable, not a reference to the enclosing function's `local.mw`.
-
-```cfm
-private any function $wrapMiddleware(required any mw, required any nextFn) {
-    var ctx = {mw = arguments.mw, nextFn = arguments.nextFn};
-    return function(required struct request) {
-        return ctx.mw.handle(request = arguments.request, next = ctx.nextFn);
-    };
-}
-```
-
-## Registration
-
-### Global (config/settings.cfm)
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.RequestId(),
-    new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders(),
-    new wheels.middleware.Cors(allowOrigins="https://myapp.com")
-]);
-```
-
-Accepts instances or string CFC paths (auto-instantiated with `init()`).
-
-### Route-scoped (config/routes.cfm)
-
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .scope(path="/api", middleware=["app.middleware.ApiAuth"])
-        .resources("users")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-Route middleware runs after global middleware. Nested scopes inherit parent middleware.
-
-## Dispatch.cfc Integration
-
-In `$request()`, the controller dispatch is wrapped in a `coreHandler` closure:
-
-```cfm
-local.coreHandler = function(required struct request) {
-    local.ctrl = controller(name=request.params.controller, params=request.params);
-    local.ctrl.processAction();
-    if (local.ctrl.$performedRedirect()) {
-        $location(argumentCollection=local.ctrl.getRedirect());
-    }
-    local.ctrl.$flashClear();
-    return local.ctrl.response();
-};
-```
-
-If route-scoped middleware exists, a merged pipeline (global + route) is created per-request. Otherwise the pre-built global pipeline is used.
-
-## Request Context Struct
-
-The `request` struct passed through middleware contains:
-
-| Key | Description |
-|-----|-------------|
-| `params` | Merged URL/form/route params (same as controller `params`) |
-| `route` | The matched route struct from `request.wheels.currentRoute` |
-| `pathInfo` | Raw path info string |
-| `method` | HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.) |
-
-Middleware can add arbitrary keys (e.g., `request.currentUser`) for downstream access.
-
-## Built-in Middleware Reference
-
-### RequestId
-- No constructor args
-- Sets `request.wheels.requestId = CreateUUID()`
-- Adds `X-Request-Id` response header
-
-### Cors
-- `allowOrigins` (default `"*"`) — comma-delimited origins
-- `allowMethods` (default `"GET,POST,PUT,PATCH,DELETE,OPTIONS"`)
-- `allowHeaders` (default `"Content-Type,Authorization,X-Requested-With"`)
-- `allowCredentials` (default `false`)
-- `maxAge` (default `86400`) — preflight cache seconds
-- Short-circuits on OPTIONS with empty response
-
-### SecurityHeaders
-- `frameOptions` (default `"SAMEORIGIN"`)
-- `contentTypeOptions` (default `"nosniff"`)
-- `xssProtection` (default `"1; mode=block"`)
-- `referrerPolicy` (default `"strict-origin-when-cross-origin"`)
-- Set any to `""` to disable that header
-- Runs after `next()` (post-processing pattern)
-
-### TenantResolver
-- `resolver` — closure(request) => struct `{id, dataSource, config}`; return `{}` for no-op
-- `strategy` (default `"custom"`) — `"custom"`, `"header"`, or `"subdomain"`
-- `headerName` (default `"X-Tenant-ID"`) — header to read when strategy is `"header"`
-- Sets `request.wheels.tenant` with `$locked=true`; cleaned up in `finally` block
-- See [Multi-Tenancy Configuration](../configuration/multi-tenancy.md) and [TenantResolver Reference](tenant-resolver.md)

-# Rate Limiting Middleware — AI Reference
-
-## Constructor API
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
-    maxRequests = 60,         // numeric — max requests per window
-    windowSeconds = 60,       // numeric — window duration in seconds
-    strategy = "fixedWindow", // string — fixedWindow | slidingWindow | tokenBucket
-    storage = "memory",       // string — memory | database
-    keyFunction = "",         // closure(request) => string, or empty for IP-based
-    headerPrefix = "X-RateLimit", // string — response header prefix
-    trustProxy = true         // boolean — use X-Forwarded-For
-)
-```
-
-Throws `Wheels.RateLimiter.InvalidStrategy` or `Wheels.RateLimiter.InvalidStorage` on bad input.
-
-## Strategy Algorithms
-
-### Fixed Window
-- Discrete time buckets: `windowId = Int(now / windowSeconds)`
-- Store key: `clientKey:windowId`
-- Counter incremented per request
-- Resets when windowId changes
-
-### Sliding Window
-- Timestamp log per client key
-- Prune entries older than `now - windowSeconds`
-- Count remaining entries vs maxRequests
-- More memory per client, more accurate
-
-### Token Bucket
-- Bucket with `capacity = maxRequests`
-- Refill rate: `maxRequests / windowSeconds` tokens/sec
-- Each request consumes 1 token
-- Allows bursts up to capacity
-
-## Method Inventory
-
-| Method | Visibility | Purpose |
-|--------|-----------|---------|
-| `init()` | public | Constructor — validates strategy/storage, initializes store |
-| `handle()` | public | MiddlewareInterface — check limit, set headers, pass/block |
-| `$resolveKey()` | private | Client identification from keyFunction or IP |
-| `$getClientIp()` | private | IP from request struct, X-Forwarded-For, or CGI |
-| `$checkFixedWindow()` | private | Fixed window algorithm |
-| `$checkSlidingWindow()` | private | Sliding window with timestamp log |
-| `$checkTokenBucket()` | private | Token bucket algorithm |
-| `$maybeCleanup()` | private | Throttled memory cleanup (1x/min) |
-| `$dbIncrement()` | private | DB: fixed window counter |
-| `$dbSlidingWindow()` | private | DB: sliding window entries |
-| `$dbTokenBucket()` | private | DB: token bucket state |
-| `$ensureTable()` | private | Auto-create wheels_rate_limits table |
-
-## Storage
-
-### Memory
-- `java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap`
-- Per-key `cflock` (name=`wheels-ratelimit-{key}`, timeout=1, exclusive)
-- Fail-open on lock timeout
-- Cleanup throttled to 1x/min
-
-### Database
-- Table: `wheels_rate_limits` (auto-created)
-- Columns: `id`, `store_key`, `counter`, `expires_at`
-- Parameterized queries via `QueryExecute()`
-- Try-insert/catch-update for portability
-
-## Response Headers
-
-Always set:
-- `{prefix}-Limit` — maxRequests
-- `{prefix}-Remaining` — requests left
-- `{prefix}-Reset` — Unix timestamp of window reset
-
-On 429:
-- `Retry-After` — seconds until reset
-- Status: 429 Too Many Requests
-- Body: "Rate limit exceeded. Try again later."
-
-## Usage Patterns
-
-```cfm
-// Global — 60 req/min per IP
-set(middleware = [new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter()]);
-
-// Route-scoped — strict auth limit
-.scope(path="/auth", middleware=[
-    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(maxRequests=10, windowSeconds=60)
-])
-
-// API key-based limiting
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
-    keyFunction=function(req) { return req.cgi.http_x_api_key; }
-)
-
-// Multi-server with DB storage
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(storage="database")

-# TenantResolver Middleware — AI Reference
-
-## Constructor API
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-    resolver = "",           // closure(request) => struct {id, dataSource, config} — or empty for no-op
-    strategy = "custom",     // string — "custom" | "header" | "subdomain"
-    headerName = "X-Tenant-ID" // string — header to read when strategy="header"
-)
-```
-
-The `resolver` closure receives the middleware request struct and must return a struct with at minimum a `dataSource` key. Return `{}` for unrecognized tenants.
-
-## Resolution Strategies
-
-### Custom (Default)
-Delegates entirely to the resolver closure. If no resolver is provided, returns `{}` (no tenant set).
-
-### Header
-1. Normalizes `headerName` to CGI format: `X-Tenant-ID` → `http_x_tenant_id`
-2. Reads from `request.cgi[headerKey]` or falls back to `cgi[headerKey]`
-3. If empty, returns `{}`
-4. Sets `request.$tenantHeaderValue` to the extracted value (available to resolver)
-5. If resolver provided, calls `resolver(request)` and returns result
-6. Without resolver, returns `{}` (header alone is not enough — no datasource)
-
-### Subdomain
-1. Reads `server_name` from `request.cgi` or `cgi` scope
-2. If fewer than 3 domain segments, returns `{}` (e.g., `myapp.com` has no subdomain)
-3. Extracts first segment: `acme.myapp.com` → `"acme"`
-4. Sets `request.$tenantSubdomain` to the extracted value (available to resolver)
-5. If resolver provided, calls `resolver(request)` and returns result
-6. Without resolver, returns `{}`
-
-## Method Inventory
-
-| Method | Visibility | Purpose |
-|--------|-----------|---------|
-| `init(resolver, strategy, headerName)` | public | Constructor — stores config |
-| `handle(request, next)` | public | MiddlewareInterface — resolve → set → next → cleanup |
-| `$resolveTenant(request)` | private | Dispatches to strategy-specific method |
-| `$resolveFromCustom(request)` | private | Calls resolver closure directly |
-| `$resolveFromHeader(request)` | private | Reads header, then calls resolver |
-| `$resolveFromSubdomain(request)` | private | Extracts subdomain, then calls resolver |
-
-## Tenant Lifecycle
-
-### Set Phase (in `handle()`)
-1. Call `$resolveTenant(request)` → returns struct
-2. Validate: must be non-empty struct with a non-empty `dataSource` key
-3. Default missing keys: `id=""`, `config={}`
-4. Set `$locked = true` to prevent mid-request switching
-5. Assign to `request.wheels.tenant` (the built-in `request` scope, not `arguments.request`)
-
-### Cleanup Phase (in `finally` block)
-- Always runs, even on errors
-- Removes `request.wheels.tenant` via `StructDelete(request.wheels, "tenant")`
-- Ensures no tenant leakage between requests
-
-### Scope Note
-CFML's `request` keyword always refers to the built-in request scope, even inside a function with a parameter named `request`. The middleware uses `arguments.request` for the pipeline struct but sets tenant state on the bare `request` scope, because that's what `$performQuery()` and `$get()` read from.
-
-## Usage Patterns
-
-### Database Lookup (Most Common)
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-    resolver = function(req) {
-        var host = cgi.server_name;
-        var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="domain='#host#'");
-        if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName, config: {appName: t.name}};
-        return {};
-    }
-)
-```
-
-### API Gateway with Header
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-    strategy = "header",
-    headerName = "X-Tenant-ID",
-    resolver = function(req) {
-        var tenantId = req.cgi.http_x_tenant_id;
-        var ds = application.tenantMap[tenantId] ?: "";
-        if (Len(ds)) return {id: tenantId, dataSource: ds};
-        return {};
-    }
-)
-```
-
-### SaaS Subdomain
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-    strategy = "subdomain",
-    resolver = function(req) {
-        // req.$tenantSubdomain is pre-populated by the strategy
-        var slug = req.$tenantSubdomain;
-        var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="slug='#slug#'");
-        if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-        return {};
-    }
-)
-```
-
-### Route-Scoped (Tenant Only for API)
-```cfm
-// config/routes.cfm
-mapper()
-    .scope(path="/api", middleware=[
-        new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-            strategy="header",
-            headerName="X-Tenant-ID",
-            resolver=myResolverFunction
-        )
-    ])
-        .resources("users")
-        .resources("products")
-    .end()
-    .resources("pages")  // no tenant resolution here
-.end();
-```

-# Advanced Model Features
-
-## Description
-Advanced Wheels model features including timestamps, statistics, calculated properties, change tracking, dynamic finders, nested properties, transactions, and other sophisticated functionality.
-
-## Automatic Time Stamps
-
-Wheels automatically handles time stamping of records when you have the proper columns in your database.
-
-### Time Stamp Columns
-- **`createdat`** - Automatically set to current date/time when record is created
-- **`updatedat`** - Automatically set to current date/time when record is updated
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Enable automatic timestamps
-        set(timeStampOnCreateProperty="createdAt");  // Sets createdAt on creation
-        set(timeStampOnUpdateProperty="updatedAt");  // Sets updatedAt on modification
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Time Zone Configuration
-Time stamps use UTC by default, but you can configure to use local time:
-```cfm
-// In /config/settings.cfm
-set(timeStampMode="local");
-```
-
-### Database Column Requirements
-- Columns must accept date/time values (`datetime` or `timestamp`)
-- Columns should allow `null` values
-- Use exact column names: `createdat` and `updatedat`
-
-## Column Statistics
-
-Wheels provides built-in statistical functions for performing aggregate calculations on your data.
-
-### Basic Statistical Methods
-```cfm
-// Count records
-authorCount = model("Author").count();
-authorCount = model("Author").count(where="lastname LIKE 'A%'");
-
-// Get average value
-avgSalary = model("Employee").average(property="salary", where="departmentId=1");
-
-// Get minimum and maximum values
-highestSalary = model("Employee").maximum("salary");
-lowestSalary = model("Employee").minimum("salary");
-
-// Calculate sum
-totalRevenue = model("Invoice").sum("billedAmount");
-```
-
-### Advanced Statistical Queries
-```cfm
-// With associations
-authorCount = model("Author").count(include="profile", where="countryId=1");
-
-// With grouping (returns query result set)
-avgSalaries = model("Employee").average(property="salary", group="departmentId");
-
-// Using distinct values
-uniqueAverage = model("Product").average(property="price", distinct=true);
-```
-
-### Statistics with Associations
-```cfm
-// Count with hasMany association (uses DISTINCT automatically)
-authorCount = model("Author").count(include="books", where="title LIKE 'Wheels%'");
-
-// Complex joins
-authorCount = model("Author").count(
-    include="profile(country)",
-    where="countries.name='USA' AND lastname LIKE 'A%'"
-);
-```
-
-## Calculated Properties
-
-Generate additional properties dynamically using SQL calculations without storing redundant data.
-
-### Basic Calculated Properties
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Full name calculation
-        property(
-            name="fullName",
-            sql="RTRIM(LTRIM(ISNULL(users.firstname, '') + ' ' + ISNULL(users.lastname, '')))"
-        );
-
-        // Age calculation from birthdate
-        property(
-            name="age",
-            sql="(CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112) AS INT) -
-                  CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(8), users.birthDate, 112) AS INT)) / 10000"
-        );
-
-        // Virtual property (not from database)
-        property(name="displayName", sql=false);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Using Calculated Properties in Queries
-```cfm
-// Use calculated properties in WHERE clauses
-youngAdults = model("User").findAll(
-    where="age >= 18 AND age < 30",
-    order="age DESC"
-);
-
-// Use in SELECT statements
-users = model("User").findAll(select="id, fullName, age");
-```
-
-### Specifying Data Types
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        property(
-            name="createdatAlias",
-            sql="posts.createdat",
-            dataType="datetime"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Dirty Records (Change Tracking)
-
-Track changes to model objects to know what has been modified since loading from the database.
-
-### Change Tracking Methods
-```cfm
-post = model("Post").findByKey(1);
-
-// Check if any property has changed
-result = post.hasChanged();  // false (just loaded)
-
-// Make a change
-post.title = "New Title";
-result = post.hasChanged();  // true
-
-// Check specific property
-result = post.hasChanged("title");  // true
-result = post.titleHasChanged();    // Dynamic method - true
-
-// Get previous value
-oldTitle = post.changedFrom("title");
-oldTitle = post.titleChangedFrom();  // Dynamic method
-
-// Get all changes
-changedProps = post.changedProperties();  // Array of property names
-allChanges = post.allChanges();          // Struct with old/new values
-```
-
-### Change Tracking Lifecycle
-```cfm
-post = model("Post").new();
-result = post.hasChanged();  // true (new objects are always "changed")
-result = post.isNew();       // true (hasn't been saved yet)
-
-post.save();
-result = post.hasChanged();  // false (cleared after save)
-
-// Revert changes
-post.title = "Changed Title";
-post.reload();  // Reloads from database, loses changes
-```
-
-### Practical Usage in Callbacks
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        beforeSave("trackImportantChanges");
-    }
-
-    private void function trackImportantChanges() {
-        if (hasChanged("email")) {
-            // Send email verification when email changes
-            this.emailVerified = false;
-            this.emailVerificationToken = createUUID();
-        }
-
-        if (hasChanged("price") && this.price > changedFrom("price")) {
-            // Log price increases
-            writeLog("Price increase for product #this.id#: #changedFrom('price')# to #this.price#");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Dynamic Finders
-
-Use method names to define search criteria instead of passing arguments.
-
-### Basic Dynamic Finders
-```cfm
-// Instead of findOne(where="email='me@example.com'")
-user = model("User").findOneByEmail("me@example.com");
-
-// Instead of findAll(where="status='active'")
-users = model("User").findAllByStatus("active");
-```
-
-### Multiple Property Finders
-```cfm
-// Find by multiple properties (note: single argument with comma-separated values)
-user = model("User").findOneByUsernameAndPassword("bob,secretpass");
-
-// With named parameters when using additional arguments
-users = model("User").findAllByState(
-    value="NY",
-    order="lastname",
-    page=2
-);
-
-// Multiple values with named parameter
-users = model("User").findAllByCityAndState(
-    values="Buffalo,NY",
-    order="lastname DESC"
-);
-```
-
-### Dynamic Finder Guidelines
-```cfm
-// Good - clear column names
-users = model("User").findAllByFirstNameAndLastName("John,Smith");
-
-// Bad - avoid "And" in column names (breaks parsing)
-// Don't name columns like: "firstandlastname"
-
-// Works with all finder arguments
-users = model("User").findAllByState(
-    value="CA",
-    include="profile",
-    order="lastname",
-    page=3,
-    perPage=25
-);
-```
-
-## Nested Properties
-
-Save parent and associated child models in a single operation using nested properties.
-
-### One-to-One Nested Properties
-```cfm
-// User model with profile association
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasOne("profile");
-        nestedProperties(associations="profile");
-    }
-}
-
-// Controller setup
-function new() {
-    newProfile = model("Profile").new();
-    user = model("User").new(profile=newProfile);
-}
-
-// View form with association
-#textField(objectName="user", property="firstname")#
-#textField(
-    objectName="user",
-    association="profile",
-    property="bio"
-)#
-
-// Save both user and profile
-user = model("User").new(params.user);
-user.save();  // Saves both user and profile in transaction
-```
-
-### One-to-Many Nested Properties
-```cfm
-// User with multiple addresses
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasMany("addresses");
-        nestedProperties(associations="addresses", allowDelete=true);
-    }
-}
-
-// Controller setup
-function new() {
-    newAddresses = [model("Address").new()];
-    user = model("User").new(addresses=newAddresses);
-}
-
-// Partial view for addresses (_address.cfm)
-#textField(
-    objectName="user",
-    association="addresses",
-    position=arguments.current,
-    property="street"
-)#
-
-// Form includes addresses
-<div id="addresses">
-    #includePartial(user.addresses)#
-</div>
-```
-
-### Many-to-Many with Nested Properties
-```cfm
-// Customer with publication subscriptions
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasMany(name="subscriptions", shortcut="publications");
-        nestedProperties(associations="subscriptions", allowDelete=true);
-    }
-}
-
-// Form with checkboxes for many-to-many
-<cfloop query="publications">
-    #hasManyCheckBox(
-        label=publications.title,
-        objectName="customer",
-        association="subscriptions",
-        keys="#customer.key()#,#publications.id#"
-    )#
-</cfloop>
-```
-
-### Nested Properties Benefits
-- Automatic transaction wrapping
-- Single save operation for complex data
-- Maintains referential integrity
-- Supports validation across all models
-- Handles creates, updates, and deletes
-
-## Transactions
-
-Wheels automatically manages database transactions for data integrity and provides manual transaction control.
-
-### Automatic Transactions
-```cfm
-// All callbacks run in single transaction
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        afterCreate("createFirstPost");
-    }
-
-    function createFirstPost() {
-        post = model("Post").new(
-            authorid=this.id,
-            title="My First Post"
-        );
-        post.save();  // If this fails, author creation rolls back
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Manual Transaction Control
-```cfm
-// Disable automatic transactions
-model("Author").create(name="John", transaction=false);
-
-// Force rollback for testing
-model("Author").create(name="John", transaction="rollback");
-```
-
-### Global Transaction Configuration
-```cfm
-// In /config/settings.cfm
-set(transactionMode=false);      // Disable all transactions
-set(transactionMode="rollback"); // Rollback all transactions
-```
-
-### Nested Transaction Support
-```cfm
-// Use invokeWithTransaction for nested transaction support
-invokeWithTransaction(
-    method="transferFunds",
-    personFrom=david,
-    personTo=mary,
-    amount=100
-);
-
-function transferFunds(required personFrom, required personTo, required numeric amount) {
-    arguments.personFrom.update(balance=personFrom.balance - arguments.amount);
-    arguments.personTo.update(balance=personTo.balance + arguments.amount);
-}
-```
-
-## Multiple Data Sources
-
-Configure models to use different databases for data distribution or legacy system integration.
-
-### Per-Model Data Source Configuration
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        dataSource("mySecondDatabase");  // Must be configured in CFML engine
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Data Source Limitations
-```cfm
-// Main model determines data source for entire query
-// Photo uses "myFirstDatabase", PhotoGallery uses "mySecondDatabase"
-// But this query uses Photo's data source for the entire join
-myPhotos = model("Photo").findAll(include="photoGalleries");
-```
-
-### Multi-Database Architecture Example
-```cfm
-// User data in primary database
-component name="User" extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        dataSource("primaryDB");
-        hasMany("orders");
-    }
-}
-
-// Analytics data in separate database
-component name="UserAnalytics" extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        dataSource("analyticsDB");
-        table("user_analytics");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Pagination
-
-Efficiently handle large datasets by breaking results into pages.
-
-### Basic Pagination
-```cfm
-// Get records 26-50 (page 2, 25 per page)
-authors = model("Author").findAll(page=2, perPage=25, order="lastname");
-
-// Pagination is object-based, not record-based
-authorsWithBooks = model("Author").findAll(
-    include="books",
-    page=2,
-    perPage=25  // 25 authors, but may return more records due to books
-);
-
-// For record-based pagination, flip the relationship
-booksWithAuthors = model("Book").findAll(
-    include="author",
-    page=2,
-    perPage=25  // Always returns exactly 25 records
-);
-```
-
-### Pagination Metadata
-```cfm
-// Get pagination information
-users = model("User").findAll(page=params.page, perPage=20);
-paginationInfo = pagination();
-
-// Available metadata
-currentPage = paginationInfo.currentPage;
-totalPages = paginationInfo.totalPages;
-totalRecords = paginationInfo.totalRecords;
-```
-
-### Advanced Pagination Examples
-```cfm
-// Paginated search results
-searchResults = model("Product").findAll(
-    where="name LIKE '%#params.q#%' OR description LIKE '%#params.q#%'",
-    page=params.page ?: 1,
-    perPage=24,
-    order="name"
-);
-
-// Paginated with complex associations
-posts = model("Post").findAll(
-    include="author,category,comments",
-    where="posts.status = 'published'",
-    page=params.page ?: 1,
-    perPage=10,
-    order="posts.publishedAt DESC"
-);
-```
-
-## Soft Delete
-
-Implement logical deletion where records are marked as deleted rather than physically removed from the database.
-
-### How Soft Delete Works in Wheels
-
-Soft delete is enabled automatically when you add a `deletedat` column to your database table. No configuration is needed in your model.
-
-### Database Column Requirements
-- Column name: `deletedat` (exact case)
-- Column type: `date`, `datetime`, or `timestamp` (depends on your database)
-- Should allow `NULL` values
-
-### Soft Delete Behavior
-```cfm
-// When deletedat column exists, delete() sets timestamp instead of removing record
-user = model("User").findByKey(1);
-user.delete();  // Sets deletedat to current timestamp, record stays in database
-
-// Normal finders automatically exclude soft-deleted records
-users = model("User").findAll();  // Won't include records where deletedat IS NOT NULL
-
-// Include soft-deleted records explicitly
-allUsers = model("User").findAll(includeSoftDeletes=true);
-
-// Manual queries need to exclude soft deletes explicitly
-activeUsers = model("User").findAll(where="deletedat IS NULL");
-```
-
-### Benefits of Soft Delete
-- Keep deleted data for audit trails
-- Maintain referential integrity
-- Allow data recovery if needed
-- Business logic can treat data as deleted while preserving it
-- No application code changes needed once column exists
-
-## Advanced Query Methods
-
-### Raw SQL Queries
-```cfm
-// Execute custom SQL
-sql = "SELECT c.*, COUNT(o.id) as orderCount, SUM(o.total) as totalSpent
-    FROM customers c
-    INNER JOIN orders o ON c.id = o.customerId
-    WHERE c.active = :active
-    GROUP BY c.id
-    ORDER BY totalSpent DESC
-    LIMIT 10";
-
-topCustomers = queryExecute(sql, { active = { value = "1", cfsqltype = "cf_sql_integer" } }, { datasource = "yourDatasourceName" });
-```
-
-### Boolean Existence Checks
-```cfm
-// More efficient than count() > 0
-hasOrders = model("Customer").exists(where="id = '#customerId#'");
-hasRecentActivity = model("User").posts().exists(where="createdat > '#lastWeek#'");
-```
-
-### Query Optimization with Includes and Select
-```cfm
-// Eager load associations to avoid N+1 queries
-posts = model("Post").findAll(include="author,category,tags");
-
-// Limit columns to reduce data transfer
-recentTitles = model("Post").findAll(
-    select="id, title, createdat",
-    where="createdat > '#dateAdd("d", -7, now())#'",
-    order="createdat DESC"
-);
-```
-
-## Wheels vs Ruby on Rails - Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
-**❌ INCORRECT (Rails-style):**
-```cfm
-// These Rails patterns DO NOT work in Wheels:
-scope(name="active", where="isactive = 1");           // ❌ No scope() in models
-function scopeActive() { return this.where(...); }   // ❌ No scopeXXX() methods
-User.active.published                                 // ❌ No chainable scopes
-has_many :posts, dependent: :destroy                 // ❌ Wrong syntax
-```
-
-**✅ CORRECT (Wheels-style):**
-```cfm
-// Use custom finder methods instead:
-function findActive() {
-    return findAll(where="isactive = 1");
-}
-
-function findPublished() {
-    return findAll(where="status = 'published'");
-}
-
-// Proper Wheels associations:
-hasMany("posts");                                   // ✅ Correct syntax - positional parameters
-hasMany(name="posts", dependent="delete");         // ✅ Correct syntax - named parameters with options
-```
-
-## Model Feature Comparison
-
-### Wheels Model Features
-
-**✅ Available in Wheels:**
-- Active Record pattern
-- Associations (belongsTo, hasMany, hasOne)
-- Validations (presence, format, uniqueness, etc.)
-- Callbacks (before/after save, create, update, delete)
-- Change tracking (dirty records)
-- Automatic timestamps
-- Soft deletes (automatic with deletedat column)
-- Pagination
-- Caching
-- Transactions
-- Dynamic finders
-- Nested properties
-- Calculated properties
-- Statistical functions
-- Multiple data sources
-
-**❌ NOT Available in Wheels:**
-- ActiveRecord scopes (use custom finder methods)
-- Chainable query methods (use single findAll call)
-- Migration rollback (Wheels has up/down methods)
-- Polymorphic associations (work around with conventions)
-
-## Usage Patterns
-
-### Model Initialization
-```cfm
-// Create new instance
-user = model("User").new();
-user = model("User").new(name="John", email="john@example.com");
-
-// Create and save
-user = model("User").create(name="John", email="john@example.com");
-
-// Find existing
-user = model("User").findByKey(1);
-user = model("User").findOne(where="email = 'john@example.com'");
-users = model("User").findAll();
-```
-
-### Data Manipulation
-```cfm
-// Update single record
-user.update(name="Jane");
-
-// Update multiple records
-model("User").updateAll(isActive=true, where="lastLogin > '#dateAdd("d", -30, now())#'");
-
-// Delete records
-user.delete();
-model("User").deleteAll(where="isActive = 0");
-```
-
-### Query Building
-```cfm
-// Complex queries
-users = model("User").findAll(
-    where="isActive = 1 AND age >= 18",
-    include="profile,orders",
-    order="lastName, firstName",
-    page=2,
-    perPage=25
-);
-
-// Statistical queries
-avgAge = model("User").average("age", where="isActive = 1");
-userCount = model("User").count(where="lastLogin > '#dateAdd("d", -7, now())#'");
-```

-# Model Architecture
-
-## Description
-Wheels model architecture, structure patterns, and basic implementation guidelines.
-
-## Key Points
-- Models implement the Active Record pattern
-- All models extend `wheels.Model` for ORM functionality
-- Models represent both data structure and business logic
-- Follow naming conventions: singular file names, plural table names
-
-## Model Architecture Overview
-
-### Base Model Structure
-All models extend `wheels.Model`, which provides:
-- Database interaction methods (CRUD operations)
-- Validation framework
-- Association management
-- Callback system
-- Query building and caching
-- Transaction support
-
-### Why Use Models
-- Implement the Active Record pattern for database interactions
-- Define business logic and data validation rules
-- Establish relationships between different data entities
-- Provide a clean interface for database operations
-- Enable automatic query generation and caching
-- Support advanced features like callbacks, soft deletes, and dirty tracking
-
-**Key Concept:** Models represent both the structure (database schema) and behavior (business logic) of your data.
-
-## Basic Model Structure
-
-### Simple Model Template
-```cfm
-/**
- * User Model - Represents application users
- * Table: users
- * Primary Key: id
- */
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * Model configuration - associations, validations, properties
-     */
-    function config() {
-        // Table configuration (if different from convention)
-        // table("custom_users_table");
-
-        // Associations
-        hasMany("posts");
-        hasMany("comments");
-        hasOne("profile");
-
-        // Validations
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,email");
-        validatesUniquenessOf("email");
-        validatesLengthOf(property="name", minimum=2, maximum=100);
-        validatesFormatOf(property="email", with="^[^@]+@[^@]+\.[^@]+$");
-
-        // Custom properties
-        property(name="fullName", sql=false); // Virtual property
-
-        // Callbacks
-        beforeSave("encryptPassword");
-        afterCreate("sendWelcomeEmail");
-
-        // Soft delete enabled automatically if deletedat column exists
-    }
-
-    // Custom business logic methods go here
-
-    /**
-     * Get user's full display name
-     */
-    function getFullName() {
-        return trim(this.firstname & " " & this.lastname);
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Check if user has specific role
-     */
-    function hasRole(required string roleName) {
-        return listFindNoCase(this.roles, arguments.roleName) > 0;
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Callback: Encrypt password before saving
-     */
-    private void function encryptPassword() {
-        if (hasChanged("password") && len(this.password)) {
-            this.password = hash(this.password, "SHA-256");
-        }
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Callback: Send welcome email after user creation
-     */
-    private void function sendWelcomeEmail() {
-        // Queue welcome email job
-        local.mailer = createObject("component", "mailers.UserMailer");
-        local.mailer.welcomeEmail(to=this.email, user=this);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Model Generation
-
-### CLI Generator
-Use the Wheels CLI to generate model classes and optionally create database migrations:
-
-```bash
-# Basic model
-wheels g model User
-
-# Model with properties
-wheels g model User name:string,email:string,age:integer
-
-# Model with associations
-wheels g model Post belongsTo=User hasMany=Comments
-
-# Model with custom table name
-wheels g model Product tableName=tbl_products
-
-# Model without migration
-wheels g model Category migration=false
-```
-
-### Generator Options
-- **`name`** - Model name (singular form, becomes class name)
-- **`properties`** - Column definitions (name:type,name2:type2)
-- **`belongsTo`** - Parent model relationships (comma-separated)
-- **`hasMany`** - Child model relationships (comma-separated)
-- **`hasOne`** - One-to-one relationships (comma-separated)
-- **`primaryKey`** - Primary key column name (default: id)
-- **`tableName`** - Custom database table name
-- **`migration`** - Generate database migration (default: true)
-- **`force`** - Overwrite existing files
-
-## Naming Conventions
-
-- **Model files**: Singular PascalCase (User.cfc, OrderItem.cfc)
-- **Database tables**: Plural lowercase (users, orderitems)
-- **Primary keys**: id (integer, auto-increment)
-- **Foreign keys**: modelname + "id" (userid, postid)
-- **Timestamps**: createdat, updatedat, deletedat (lowercase)

-# Model Associations
-
-## Critical Understanding
-
-**🚨 CRITICAL**: Association methods in Wheels return QUERY objects, not arrays. This is essential to understand for views and controllers.
-
-## Association Return Types and Usage
-
-### Understanding Query Returns
-```cfm
-// All association methods return QUERIES
-user = model("User").findByKey(1);
-posts = user.posts();           // Returns QUERY, not array
-comments = post.comments();     // Returns QUERY, not array
-
-// Use query methods and properties
-postCount = user.posts().recordCount;        // ✅ CORRECT
-commentCount = post.comments().recordCount;  // ✅ CORRECT
-
-// NOT array methods
-postCount = ArrayLen(user.posts());          // ❌ ERROR!
-commentCount = ArrayLen(post.comments());    // ❌ ERROR!
-
-// Loop as queries, not arrays
-<cfloop query="user.posts()">               // ✅ CORRECT
-    #user.posts().title#
-</cfloop>
-
-<cfloop array="#user.posts()#" index="post"> // ❌ ERROR!
-    #post.title#
-</cfloop>
-```
-
-## Association Types
-
-### belongsTo (Many-to-One)
-
-Defines a relationship where this model belongs to another model. Used when this model's table contains a foreign key.
-
-**Basic Syntax:**
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Post belongs to User (author)
-        belongsTo("author", modelName="User", foreignKey="authorid");
-
-        // Order belongs to Customer (uses convention: customerid)
-        belongsTo("customer");
-
-        // Comment belongs to Post (uses convention: postid)
-        belongsTo("post");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Usage Examples:**
-```cfm
-// Get the associated parent
-post = model("Post").findByKey(1);
-author = post.author();  // Returns User object or null
-
-// Check if association exists
-if (isObject(post.author())) {
-    authorName = post.author().name;
-}
-
-// Use in queries
-posts = model("Post").findAll(include="author");
-```
-
-### hasMany (One-to-Many)
-
-Defines a relationship where this model has many of another model. The other model's table contains the foreign key.
-
-**Basic Syntax:**
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // User has many Posts (posts table has authorid)
-        hasMany("posts", foreignKey="authorid");
-
-        // Category has many Products (products table has categoryid)
-        hasMany("products");
-
-        // Post has many Comments with dependent delete
-        hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Usage Examples:**
-```cfm
-// Get associated records
-user = model("User").findByKey(1);
-posts = user.posts();  // Returns QUERY of posts
-
-// Count associated records
-postCount = user.posts().recordCount;
-
-// Get with conditions
-recentPosts = user.posts(where="createdat > '#dateAdd("d", -30, now())#'");
-
-// Check if has any
-if (user.posts().recordCount > 0) {
-    // User has posts
-}
-```
-
-### hasOne (One-to-One)
-
-Defines a relationship where this model has exactly one of another model.
-
-**Basic Syntax:**
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // User has one Profile
-        hasOne(name="profile", dependent="delete");
-
-        // Product has one Inventory record
-        hasOne("inventory");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Usage Examples:**
-```cfm
-// Get the associated record
-user = model("User").findByKey(1);
-profile = user.profile();  // Returns Profile object or null
-
-// Check if exists
-if (isObject(user.profile())) {
-    bio = user.profile().bio;
-}
-```
-
-### Many-to-Many Associations
-
-Wheels handles many-to-many relationships through join tables and shortcut associations.
-
-**Setup with Join Table:**
-```cfm
-// User model
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Direct relationship to join table
-        hasMany("userRoles");
-
-        // Shortcut to final destination
-        hasMany(name="userRoles", shortcut="roles");
-    }
-}
-
-// Role model
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasMany("userRoles");
-        hasMany(name="userRoles", shortcut="users");
-    }
-}
-
-// UserRole join model
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        belongsTo("user");
-        belongsTo("role");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Usage Examples:**
-```cfm
-// Get many-to-many associated records
-user = model("User").findByKey(1);
-roles = user.roles();  // Returns QUERY of roles through userRoles
-
-// Check for specific association
-hasAdminRole = user.roles().exists(where="name = 'admin'");
-
-// Add association (create join record)
-adminRole = model("Role").findByName("admin");
-if (isObject(adminRole)) {
-    model("UserRole").create(userid=user.id, roleid=adminRole.id);
-}
-```
-
-## Dynamic Association Methods
-
-Wheels automatically creates dynamic methods for each association:
-
-### hasMany Dynamic Methods
-```cfm
-// Given: Post hasMany("comments")
-post = model("Post").findByKey(1);
-
-// Get all comments
-comments = post.comments();
-
-// Get comments with conditions
-recentComments = post.comments(where="createdat > '#dateAdd("d", -7, now())#'");
-
-// Count comments
-commentCount = post.commentCount();
-
-// Check if has comments
-hasComments = post.hasComments();
-
-// Create new comment
-newComment = post.createComment(content="Great post!", authorName="John");
-
-// Add existing comment (sets foreign key)
-post.addComment(existingComment);
-
-// Remove comment (sets foreign key to null)
-post.removeComment(comment);
-
-// Delete comment (removes from database)
-post.deleteComment(comment);
-```
-
-### belongsTo Dynamic Methods
-```cfm
-// Given: Comment belongsTo("post")
-comment = model("Comment").findByKey(1);
-
-// Get associated post
-post = comment.post();
-
-// Check if has post
-hasPost = comment.hasPost();
-
-// Set associated post
-comment.setPost(newPost);
-```
-
-### hasOne Dynamic Methods
-```cfm
-// Given: User hasOne("profile")
-user = model("User").findByKey(1);
-
-// Get profile
-profile = user.profile();
-
-// Check if has profile
-hasProfile = user.hasProfile();
-
-// Create profile
-newProfile = user.createProfile(bio="User bio", location="City");
-
-// Set profile
-user.setProfile(existingProfile);
-
-// Remove profile (sets foreign key to null)
-user.removeProfile();
-
-// Delete profile (removes from database)
-user.deleteProfile();
-```
-
-## Association Options
-
-### Common Options for All Associations
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    // Custom model name
-    belongsTo(name="author", modelName="User");
-
-    // Custom foreign key
-    hasMany(name="posts", foreignKey="authorid");
-
-    // Custom join type for includes
-    hasMany(name="comments", joinType="LEFT OUTER JOIN");
-}
-```
-
-### Dependent Options
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    // Delete associated records when parent is deleted
-    hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
-    hasOne(name="profile", dependent="delete");
-
-    // Set foreign key to null when parent is deleted
-    hasMany(name="posts", dependent="nullify");
-}
-```
-
-### Advanced Association Configuration
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    // Complex association with conditions
-    hasMany(
-        name="publishedPosts",
-        modelName="Post",
-        foreignKey="authorid",
-        where="status = 'published'"
-    );
-
-    // Association with custom order
-    hasMany(
-        name="recentComments",
-        modelName="Comment",
-        foreignKey="postid",
-        order="createdat DESC"
-    );
-}
-```
-
-## Eager Loading with Includes
-
-Prevent N+1 query problems by loading associations upfront:
-
-### Basic Includes
-```cfm
-// Load posts with their authors
-posts = model("Post").findAll(include="author");
-
-// Load users with their posts and comments
-users = model("User").findAll(include="posts,comments");
-
-// Load with nested associations
-posts = model("Post").findAll(include="author(profile)");
-```
-
-### Complex Includes
-```cfm
-// Multiple levels of nesting
-posts = model("Post").findAll(
-    include="author(profile(country)),category,comments(author)"
-);
-
-// Include with conditions
-posts = model("Post").findAll(
-    include="comments",
-    where="posts.status = 'published' AND comments.approved = 1"
-);
-```
-
-## Association Best Practices
-
-### 1. Argument Consistency
-```cfm
-// ✅ CORRECT: All named arguments
-hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete", foreignKey="postid");
-
-// ✅ CORRECT: All positional arguments
-hasMany("comments");
-
-// ❌ INCORRECT: Mixed argument styles
-hasMany("comments", dependent="delete");  // This will cause errors
-```
-
-### 2. Understanding Return Types
-```cfm
-// ✅ CORRECT: Use query methods
-postCount = user.posts().recordCount;
-if (user.posts().recordCount > 0) { /* */ }
-
-// ❌ INCORRECT: Treat as arrays
-postCount = ArrayLen(user.posts());     // ERROR!
-if (ArrayLen(user.posts()) > 0) { /* */ }  // ERROR!
-```
-
-### 3. Efficient Querying
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Use includes to avoid N+1 queries
-posts = model("Post").findAll(include="author,comments");
-
-// ❌ BAD: Causes N+1 queries
-posts = model("Post").findAll();
-for (post in posts) {
-    author = post.author();  // Separate query for each post
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Proper Loop Syntax
-```cfm
-// ✅ CORRECT: Store query result before looping
-<cfset comments = post.comments()>
-<cfloop query="comments">
-    <p>#comments.content#</p>
-</cfloop>
-
-// ❌ INCORRECT: Method call in loop attribute
-<cfloop query="post.comments()">  // Will cause errors
-    <p>#post.comments().content#</p>
-</cfloop>
-```
-
-## Common Errors and Solutions
-
-### Error: "Invalid variable declaration"
-```cfm
-// ❌ PROBLEM
-<cfloop query="user.posts()">
-    #user.posts().title#
-</cfloop>
-
-// ✅ SOLUTION
-<cfset posts = user.posts()>
-<cfloop query="posts">
-    #posts.title#
-</cfloop>
-```
-
-### Error: "Component has no accessible Member with name [ARRAYLEN]"
-```cfm
-// ❌ PROBLEM
-postCount = ArrayLen(user.posts());
-
-// ✅ SOLUTION
-postCount = user.posts().recordCount;
-```
-
-### Error: "Missing argument name"
-```cfm
-// ❌ PROBLEM: Mixed argument styles
-hasMany("comments", dependent="delete");
-
-// ✅ SOLUTION: Consistent argument style
-hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
-// OR
-hasMany("comments");
-```
-
-## Testing Associations
-
-### Basic Association Tests
-```cfm
-function testUserHasManyPosts() {
-    user = model("User").create(name="John", email="john@example.com");
-    post1 = model("Post").create(title="Post 1", authorid=user.id);
-    post2 = model("Post").create(title="Post 2", authorid=user.id);
-
-    posts = user.posts();
-    assert(posts.recordCount == 2, "User should have 2 posts");
-}
-
-function testPostBelongsToUser() {
-    user = model("User").create(name="John", email="john@example.com");
-    post = model("Post").create(title="My Post", authorid=user.id);
-
-    author = post.author();
-    assert(isObject(author), "Post should have an author");
-    assert(author.id == user.id, "Post author should be the correct user");
-}
-```

-# Batch Processing
-
-## Description
-
-Batch processing methods let you work with large result sets memory-efficiently. Instead of loading thousands of records into memory at once, `findEach()` and `findInBatches()` paginate through the data internally and hand you records in manageable chunks. This is essential for background jobs, data migrations, bulk emails, and any operation that touches many records.
-
-## Key Points
-
-- `findEach()` — processes one record at a time (callback receives a single object or struct)
-- `findInBatches()` — processes groups of records (callback receives a query/array batch)
-- Both use pagination internally, fetching `batchSize` records per database query
-- Support all standard finder arguments: `where`, `order`, `include`, `select`, `parameterize`, `includeSoftDeletes`
-- Compose with query scopes and the chainable query builder
-- Default ordering is primary key ascending (for consistent pagination)
-
-## findEach()
-
-Iterates through records one at a time. Internally loads records in batches (default 1,000) but invokes the callback for each individual record.
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```cfm
-// Send a reminder email to every active user
-model("User").findEach(
-    where="status = 'active'",
-    batchSize=500,
-    callback=function(user) {
-        sendEmail(
-            to=user.email,
-            subject="Monthly Reminder",
-            from="app@example.com"
-        );
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### With Scopes
-
-```cfm
-// Using a scope to filter
-model("User").active().findEach(
-    batchSize=1000,
-    callback=function(user) {
-        user.lastNotifiedAt = Now();
-        user.save();
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### With the Query Builder
-
-```cfm
-model("Order")
-    .where("status", "pending")
-    .where("createdAt", "<", DateAdd("d", -30, Now()))
-    .findEach(batchSize=200, callback=function(order) {
-        order.status = "expired";
-        order.save();
-    });
-```
-
-### Returning Structs Instead of Objects
-
-By default `findEach()` yields model objects. Set `returnAs="struct"` if you only need data and want to avoid object creation overhead:
-
-```cfm
-model("User").findEach(
-    returnAs="struct",
-    batchSize=1000,
-    callback=function(user) {
-        writeOutput("Processing: #user.email#<br>");
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### findEach() Reference
-
-| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
-|----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `batchSize` | numeric | `1000` | Records to load per internal query. |
-| `callback` | function | *required* | Closure called for each record. Receives one argument: the record (object or struct). |
-| `where` | string | `""` | WHERE clause to filter records. |
-| `order` | string | PK ASC | ORDER BY clause. Defaults to primary key for consistent pagination. |
-| `include` | string | `""` | Associations to JOIN. |
-| `select` | string | `""` | Column list (default: all). |
-| `parameterize` | any | — | Whether to use `cfqueryparam`. |
-| `includeSoftDeletes` | boolean | `false` | Include soft-deleted records. |
-| `returnAs` | string | `"object"` | `"object"` or `"struct"`. |
-
-## findInBatches()
-
-Processes records in groups. The callback receives the entire batch (query result set, array of objects, or array of structs) rather than individual records. Useful when the operation benefits from bulk processing (e.g., batch API calls, bulk inserts into another system).
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```cfm
-// Export users in CSV batches
-model("User").findInBatches(
-    batchSize=500,
-    callback=function(users) {
-        // 'users' is a query result set (default returnAs="query")
-        writeBatchToCSV(users);
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### With Objects
-
-```cfm
-model("Order").findInBatches(
-    where="status = 'pending'",
-    batchSize=100,
-    returnAs="objects",
-    callback=function(orders) {
-        // 'orders' is an array of model objects
-        for (var order in orders) {
-            order.process();
-        }
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### With Scopes
-
-```cfm
-model("Product").active().findInBatches(
-    batchSize=200,
-    returnAs="structs",
-    callback=function(products) {
-        // 'products' is an array of structs
-        syncToExternalCatalog(products);
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### With the Query Builder
-
-```cfm
-model("LogEntry")
-    .where("createdAt", "<", DateAdd("m", -6, Now()))
-    .findInBatches(batchSize=1000, callback=function(logs) {
-        archiveLogBatch(logs);
-    });
-```
-
-### findInBatches() Reference
-
-| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
-|----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `batchSize` | numeric | `500` | Records per batch. |
-| `callback` | function | *required* | Closure called for each batch. Receives one argument: the batch. |
-| `where` | string | `""` | WHERE clause to filter records. |
-| `order` | string | PK ASC | ORDER BY clause. |
-| `include` | string | `""` | Associations to JOIN. |
-| `select` | string | `""` | Column list (default: all). |
-| `parameterize` | any | — | Whether to use `cfqueryparam`. |
-| `includeSoftDeletes` | boolean | `false` | Include soft-deleted records. |
-| `returnAs` | string | `"query"` | `"query"`, `"objects"`, or `"structs"`. |
-
-## Choosing Between findEach() and findInBatches()
-
-| Use case | Method | Why |
-|----------|--------|-----|
-| Send individual emails | `findEach()` | One email per record |
-| Update records one by one | `findEach()` | Each record saved individually |
-| Export data to CSV in chunks | `findInBatches()` | Write many rows at once |
-| Sync batch to external API | `findInBatches()` | API accepts arrays |
-| Aggregate/report generation | `findInBatches()` | Process sets of data |
-| Simple per-record logic | `findEach()` | Cleaner callback |
-
-## Choosing batchSize
-
-| Scenario | Recommended batchSize |
-|----------|-----------------------|
-| Simple reads (few columns) | 1000–5000 |
-| Object creation (many columns) | 200–1000 |
-| Heavy processing per record | 50–200 |
-| External API calls per record | 10–50 |
-| Memory-constrained environment | 100–500 |
-
-The default values (1000 for `findEach`, 500 for `findInBatches`) are good starting points for most applications.
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Data Migration
-
-```cfm
-// Backfill a new column
-model("User").findEach(
-    batchSize=500,
-    callback=function(user) {
-        if (!Len(user.displayName)) {
-            user.displayName = user.firstName & " " & user.lastName;
-            user.save(callbacks=false);
-        }
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### Bulk Email
-
-```cfm
-// Send newsletter to subscribers
-model("Subscriber").active().findEach(
-    batchSize=200,
-    callback=function(subscriber) {
-        sendEmail(
-            to=subscriber.email,
-            subject="Weekly Newsletter",
-            from="newsletter@example.com",
-            template="emails/newsletter"
-        );
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### Cleanup Old Records
-
-```cfm
-// Archive old log entries in batches
-model("AuditLog")
-    .where("createdAt", "<", DateAdd("yyyy", -1, Now()))
-    .findInBatches(batchSize=1000, callback=function(logs) {
-        // Move to archive table, then delete
-        for (var i = 1; i <= logs.recordCount; i++) {
-            archiveLog(logs.id[i], logs.action[i], logs.createdAt[i]);
-        }
-    });
-
-// Then delete the originals
-model("AuditLog").deleteAll(where="createdAt < '#DateAdd('yyyy', -1, Now())#'");
-```
-
-### Progress Reporting
-
-```cfm
-local.processed = 0;
-local.total = model("User").active().count();
-
-model("User").active().findEach(
-    batchSize=500,
-    callback=function(user) {
-        // ... process user ...
-        local.processed++;
-        if (local.processed MOD 100 == 0) {
-            writeLog(text="Processed #local.processed# / #local.total# users", type="information");
-        }
-    }
-);
-```

-# Model Best Practices
-
-## Description
-Essential best practices for developing maintainable, secure, and performant Wheels models.
-
-## Model Organization and Structure
-
-### 1. Logical config() Method Organization
-```cfm
-/**
- * Organize config() method logically for maintainability
- */
-function config() {
-    // 1. Table configuration (if different from convention)
-    table("custom_table_name");
-
-    // 2. Associations (grouped by type)
-    belongsTo("category");
-    belongsTo("author", modelName="User", foreignKey="authorid");
-    hasMany("comments");
-    hasOne("profile");
-
-    // 3. Validations (grouped by type)
-    validatesPresenceOf("name,email");
-    validatesUniquenessOf("email");
-    validatesLengthOf(property="name", maximum=100);
-    validatesFormatOf(property="email", with="^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$");
-
-    // 4. Custom properties
-    property(name="customField", type="string");
-    property(name="fullName", sql=false); // Virtual property
-
-    // 5. Callbacks (in lifecycle order)
-    beforeValidation("normalizeData");
-    beforeSave("updateTimestamps");
-    afterCreate("sendNotification");
-
-    // 6. Other configuration
-    set(timeStampOnCreateProperty="createdAt");
-    set(timeStampOnUpdateProperty="updatedAt");
-    // Note: Soft delete enabled automatically if deletedat column exists
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Clear Method Organization
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        // Configuration here
-    }
-
-    // === CLASS METHODS (Static-like) ===
-
-    /**
-     * Custom finder methods
-     */
-    function findByEmail(required string email) {
-        return findOne(where="email = '#arguments.email#'");
-    }
-
-    function findActive() {
-        return findAll(where="isactive = 1");
-    }
-
-    // === INSTANCE METHODS ===
-
-    /**
-     * Business logic methods
-     */
-    function getFullName() {
-        return trim("#this.firstname# #this.lastname#");
-    }
-
-    function isAdmin() {
-        return this.role.name == "administrator";
-    }
-
-    // === CALLBACK METHODS (Private) ===
-
-    /**
-     * Callback implementations
-     */
-    private void function normalizeData() {
-        if (len(this.email)) {
-            this.email = lCase(trim(this.email));
-        }
-    }
-
-    // === VALIDATION METHODS (Private) ===
-
-    /**
-     * Custom validation methods
-     */
-    private void function validatePasswordStrength() {
-        // Password strength validation logic
-    }
-
-    // === HELPER METHODS (Private) ===
-
-    /**
-     * Internal helper methods
-     */
-    private string function generateSlug(required string text) {
-        // Slug generation logic
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Business Logic Placement
-
-### 1. Keep Complex Business Logic in Models
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Complex business logic belongs in models
-     */
-    function calculateShippingCost(required string shippingMethod) {
-        switch (arguments.shippingMethod) {
-            case "standard":
-                return this.weight * 0.5 + 5.99;
-            case "express":
-                return this.weight * 1.0 + 12.99;
-            case "overnight":
-                return this.weight * 2.0 + 24.99;
-            default:
-                return 0;
-        }
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Provide clear interfaces for complex operations
-     */
-    function processOrder() {
-        transaction {
-            this.status = "processing";
-            this.processedAt = now();
-
-            // Update inventory
-            for (local.item in this.orderItems()) {
-                local.item.product().decrementStock(local.item.quantity);
-            }
-
-            // Send confirmation
-            this.sendConfirmationEmail();
-
-            this.save();
-        }
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Encapsulate business rules
-     */
-    function canBeModified() {
-        return this.status == "draft" || this.status == "pending";
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Domain-specific calculations
-     */
-    function getDiscountedPrice() {
-        if (this.salePrice > 0 && this.salePrice < this.price) {
-            return this.salePrice;
-        }
-        return this.price;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Use Service Objects for Very Complex Operations
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Move extremely complex logic to services
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function processComplexOrder() {
-        // Delegate to service for complex operations
-        local.orderService = createObject("component", "services.OrderService");
-        return local.orderService.processOrder(this);
-    }
-
-    function generateReport() {
-        local.reportService = createObject("component", "services.ReportService");
-        return local.reportService.generateOrderReport(this);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-### 1. Mass Assignment Protection
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        // ✅ RECOMMENDED: Protect sensitive properties
-        protectedProperties("isAdmin,createdat,updatedat,passwordHash");
-
-        // ✅ ALTERNATIVE: Whitelist approach (more secure)
-        accessibleProperties("name,email,bio,phone");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Input Sanitization and Validation
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        // Always validate input
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,email");
-        validatesFormatOf(property="email", with="^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$");
-
-        // Custom validation for complex rules
-        validate(method="sanitizeInput");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Sanitize input data
-     */
-    private void function sanitizeInput() {
-        if (len(this.bio)) {
-            // Remove potentially harmful HTML
-            this.bio = reReplace(this.bio, "<script[^>]*>.*?</script>", "", "all");
-            this.bio = reReplace(this.bio, "javascript:", "", "all");
-            this.bio = htmlEditFormat(this.bio);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Secure Password Handling
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        beforeCreate("generateSalt");
-        beforeSave("hashPasswordIfChanged");
-
-        // Protect password fields
-        protectedProperties("passwordHash,salt");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Secure password hashing
-     */
-    private void function hashPasswordIfChanged() {
-        if (hasChanged("password") && len(this.password)) {
-            this.passwordHash = hash(this.password & this.salt, "SHA-256");
-            // Clear plain text password
-            this.password = "";
-        }
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Secure password verification
-     */
-    function verifyPassword(required string password) {
-        return hash(arguments.password & this.salt, "SHA-256") == this.passwordHash;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Permission Checking
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Validate permissions before sensitive operations
-     */
-    function deleteWithPermissionCheck(required numeric currentUserId) {
-        if (this.userid != arguments.currentUserId && !hasAdminRole(arguments.currentUserId)) {
-            throw(type="PermissionDenied", message="Cannot delete another user's record");
-        }
-
-        return this.delete();
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Role-based access control
-     */
-    function canEdit(required user) {
-        return this.userid == arguments.user.id || arguments.user.hasRole("admin");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### 1. Graceful Error Handling in Models
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Return structured results for complex operations
-     */
-    function processPayment(required struct paymentData) {
-        try {
-            transaction {
-                local.result = chargeCard(arguments.paymentData);
-
-                if (local.result.success) {
-                    this.paymentStatus = "paid";
-                    this.transactionId = local.result.transactionId;
-                    this.save();
-                    return {success: true, transactionId: local.result.transactionId};
-                } else {
-                    throw(type="PaymentError", message=local.result.error);
-                }
-            }
-        } catch (any e) {
-            // Log error
-            writeLog(text="Payment failed for order #this.id#: #e.message#", file="payments");
-
-            // Return structured error
-            return {
-                success: false,
-                error: e.message,
-                errorType: e.type
-            };
-        }
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Fail gracefully in callbacks
-     */
-    private void function sendNotificationEmail() {
-        try {
-            local.mailer = createObject("component", "mailers.UserMailer");
-            local.mailer.welcomeEmail(this);
-        } catch (any e) {
-            // Log but don't fail the save operation
-            writeLog(file="notifications", text=e.message, type="error");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Validation Error Management
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Provide helpful validation methods
-     */
-    function hasValidationErrors() {
-        return this.hasErrors();
-    }
-
-    function getValidationErrorsAsString() {
-        local.errors = this.allErrors();
-        local.messages = [];
-
-        for (local.error in local.errors) {
-            arrayAppend(local.messages, local.error.message);
-        }
-
-        return arrayToList(local.messages, "; ");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Clear, descriptive error messages
-     */
-    private void function validateBusinessRules() {
-        if (this.startDate >= this.endDate) {
-            addError(
-                property="endDate",
-                message="End date must be after start date"
-            );
-        }
-
-        if (this.discountPercent > 100) {
-            addError(
-                property="discountPercent",
-                message="Discount cannot exceed 100%"
-            );
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Performance Best Practices
-
-### 1. Efficient Query Patterns
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Use includes to prevent N+1 queries
-     */
-    function getPostsWithAuthors() {
-        return this.findAll(
-            include="author",
-            order="createdat DESC"
-        );
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Limit data with select
-     */
-    function getPostTitles() {
-        return this.findAll(
-            select="id, title, createdat",
-            order="createdat DESC"
-        );
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Use exists() for boolean checks
-     */
-    function hasRecentActivity() {
-        return this.posts().exists(
-            where="createdat > '#dateAdd("d", -30, now())#'"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Smart Caching
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        afterSave("clearRelatedCaches");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Cache expensive calculations
-     */
-    function getStatistics() {
-        local.cacheKey = "user_#this.id#_stats";
-
-        if (!cacheKeyExists(local.cacheKey)) {
-            local.stats = {
-                postCount = this.posts().count(),
-                totalViews = this.posts().sum("viewCount")
-            };
-            cachePut(local.cacheKey, local.stats, createTimeSpan(0, 1, 0, 0));
-        }
-
-        return cacheGet(local.cacheKey);
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * ✅ GOOD: Clear related caches when data changes
-     */
-    private void function clearRelatedCaches() {
-        cacheRemove("user_#this.id#_stats");
-        cacheRemove("recent_posts");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Testing Best Practices
-
-### 1. Comprehensive Model Testing
-```cfm
-component extends="tests.Test" {
-
-    function setup() {
-        // ✅ GOOD: Set up clean test data
-        variables.validUserData = {
-            name = "Test User",
-            email = "test@example.com",
-            password = "SecurePassword123!"
-        };
-    }
-
-    function teardown() {
-        // ✅ GOOD: Clean up after tests
-        model("User").deleteAll(where="email LIKE '%test%'");
-    }

-     */

-        assert(local.user.getFullName() == "John Doe", "Should generate correct full name");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Naming and Convention Best Practices
-
-### 1. Follow Wheels Conventions
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Proper naming conventions
-
-// Model files: Singular, PascalCase
-User.cfc
-OrderItem.cfc
-ProductCategory.cfc
-
-// Table names: Plural, lowercase
-users
-orderitems
-productcategories
-
-// Column names: Lowercase
-first_name, email, created_at
-
-// Foreign keys: Singular model name + "id"
-userid, categoryid, orderitemid
-```
-
-### 2. Descriptive Method Names
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    // ✅ GOOD: Clear, descriptive method names
-    function findActiveUsers() { }
-    function findRecentPosts() { }
-    function calculateTotalPrice() { }
-    function canBeModified() { }
-    function hasPermissionToEdit() { }
-
-    // ❌ BAD: Unclear method names
-    function getStuff() { }
-    function doAction() { }
-    function check() { }
-}
-```
-
-## Documentation Best Practices
-
-### 1. Document Complex Logic
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * Calculate the user's credit score based on multiple factors
-     *
-     * @returns numeric Credit score between 300-850
-     */
-    function calculateCreditScore() {
-        // Payment history (35% of score)
-        local.paymentScore = this.getPaymentHistoryScore() * 0.35;
-
-        // Credit utilization (30% of score)
-        local.utilizationScore = this.getCreditUtilizationScore() * 0.30;
-
-        // Length of credit history (15% of score)
-        local.historyScore = this.getCreditHistoryScore() * 0.15;
-
-        // Types of credit (10% of score)
-        local.creditTypesScore = this.getCreditTypesScore() * 0.10;
-
-        // New credit inquiries (10% of score)
-        local.inquiriesScore = this.getInquiriesScore() * 0.10;
-
-        return local.paymentScore + local.utilizationScore + local.historyScore +
-               local.creditTypesScore + local.inquiriesScore;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Document Model Relationships
-```cfm
-/**
- * User Model - Represents application users
- *
- * Relationships:
- * - hasMany: posts, comments, orders
- * - hasOne: profile
- * - hasMany: roles (through userRoles)
- *
- * Key Features:
- * - Authentication and password hashing
- * - Role-based permissions
- * - Email verification workflow
- * - Account locking after failed login attempts
- */
-component extends="Model" {
-    // Model implementation
-}
-```
-
-## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
-
-### 1. Mixed Argument Styles
-```cfm
-// ❌ BAD: Mixing positional and named arguments
-hasMany("comments", dependent="delete");
-
-// ✅ GOOD: Consistent argument style
-hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
-// OR
-hasMany("comments");
-```
-
-### 2. Business Logic in Controllers
-```cfm
-// ❌ BAD: Business logic in controller
-function create() {
-    user = model("User").new(params.user);
-
-    // This calculation belongs in the model
-    if (user.age >= 18) {
-        user.canVote = true;
-    }
-
-    user.save();
-}
-
-// ✅ GOOD: Business logic in model
-component extends="Model" {
-    private void function setVotingEligibility() {
-        this.canVote = (this.age >= 18);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Fat Models
-```cfm
-// ❌ BAD: Model with too many responsibilities
-component extends="Model" {
-    // 500+ lines of code handling:
-    // - User management
-    // - Email sending
-    // - Report generation
-    // - Payment processing
-    // - File uploads
-}
-
-// ✅ GOOD: Focused model with service delegation
-component extends="Model" {
-    function sendWelcomeEmail() {
-        emailService.sendWelcomeEmail(this);
-    }
-
-    function processPayment(paymentData) {
-        return paymentService.processPayment(this, paymentData);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Development Workflow Best Practices
-
-### 1. Model Development Process
-1. **Design the database schema** with proper indexes and constraints
-2. **Generate the model** using Wheels CLI
-3. **Add associations** based on your schema relationships
-4. **Implement validations** for data integrity
-5. **Add business logic methods** for domain operations
-6. **Write comprehensive tests** for all functionality
-7. **Optimize performance** with caching and query optimization
-
-### 2. Code Review Checklist
-- [ ] Follows Wheels naming conventions
-- [ ] Uses consistent argument styles
-- [ ] Includes appropriate validations
-- [ ] Has proper error handling
-- [ ] Includes security considerations
-- [ ] Has adequate test coverage
-- [ ] Documents complex business logic
-- [ ] Follows performance best practices
-
-### 3. Refactoring Guidelines
-- Extract complex business logic into separate methods
-- Move very complex operations to service objects
-- Cache expensive calculations
-- Optimize queries with includes and selects
-- Remove duplicate validation logic
-- Consolidate similar finder methods

-# Model Callbacks
-
-## Description
-Wheels model callbacks allow you to execute code at specific points in a model's lifecycle, enabling automatic data processing, validation, logging, and business logic execution.
-
-## Available Callback Points
-
-### Before Callbacks
-Callbacks that execute before an operation:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Before validation runs
-        beforeValidation("normalizeData");
-
-        // Before save (create or update)
-        beforeSave("updateTimestamps");
-
-        // Before create only
-        beforeCreate("generateId");
-
-        // Before update only
-        beforeUpdate("trackChanges");
-
-        // Before delete
-        beforeDelete("checkReferences");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### After Callbacks
-Callbacks that execute after an operation:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // After validation passes
-        afterValidation("processData");
-
-        // After save (create or update)
-        afterSave("clearCache");
-
-        // After create only
-        afterCreate("sendNotifications");
-
-        // After update only
-        afterUpdate("logChanges");
-
-        // After delete

-## Testing Callbacks
-
-### Callback Testing Examples
-```cfm
-component extends="tests.Test" {
-
-    function testBeforeCreateCallback() {
-        user = model("User").new(name="John", email="john@example.com");
-
-        // Ensure UUID is not set before save
-        assert(!len(user.id), "ID should not be set before save");
-
-        user.save();
-
-        // Ensure UUID was generated by callback
-        assert(len(user.id) > 0, "ID should be set after save");
-        assert(isValid("uuid", user.id), "ID should be valid UUID");
-    }
-
-    function testSlugGeneration() {
-        post = model("Post").create(title="This is a Test Post");
-
-        assert(post.slug == "this-is-a-test-post", "Slug should be generated from title");
-    }
-
-    function testPasswordHashing() {
-        user = model("User").new(name="John", email="john@example.com", password="plaintext");
-
-        user.save();
-
-        // Password should be cleared and hash should be set
-        assert(user.password == "", "Plain text password should be cleared");
-        assert(len(user.passwordHash) > 0, "Password hash should be set");
-        assert(user.passwordHash != "plaintext", "Hash should be different from original");
-    }
-
-    function testChangeTracking() {
-        user = model("User").create(name="John", email="john@example.com");
-        originalName = user.name;
-
-        // Update name
-        user.update(name="Jane");
-
-        // Check audit log was created
-        auditLogs = model("AuditLog").findAll(
-            where="tableName = 'users' AND recordId = '#user.id#' AND fieldName = 'name'"
-        );
-
-        assert(auditLogs.recordCount > 0, "Audit log should be created");
-        assert(auditLogs.oldValue == originalName, "Old value should be recorded");
-        assert(auditLogs.newValue == "Jane", "New value should be recorded");
-    }
-
-    function testCacheClearing() {
-        // Set up cache
-        cachePut("recent_posts", "test data");
-
-        post = model("Post").create(title="Test Post", content="Test content");
-
-        // Cache should be cleared by callback
-        assert(!cacheKeyExists("recent_posts"), "Cache should be cleared after save");
-    }
-
-    function testErrorHandlingInCallback() {
-        // Mock a service that will fail
-        application.mockService = createObject("component", "tests.mocks.FailingService");
-
-        // Save should still succeed even if callback fails
-        post = model("Post").create(title="Test Post", content="Test content");
-
-        assert(isObject(post), "Post should be created despite callback error");
-        assert(post.id > 0, "Post should have valid ID");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Callback Best Practices
-
-### 1. Keep Callbacks Simple and Fast
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Simple, quick operations
-private void function normalizeEmail() {
-    if (len(this.email)) {
-        this.email = lCase(trim(this.email));
-    }
-}
-
-// ❌ BAD: Expensive operations that block
-private void function processLargeFile() {
-    // Don't do heavy processing in callbacks
-    imageResize(this.imagePath, 1000, 1000); // Could take seconds
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Handle Errors Gracefully
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Error handling that doesn't break saves
-private void function sendNotification() {
-    try {
-        emailService.sendNotification(this);
-    } catch (any e) {
-        writeLog(file="notifications", text=e.message, type="error");
-        // Don't re-throw - let save continue
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Use Callbacks for Data Integrity
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Ensuring data consistency
-private void function updateCounters() {
-    if (this.categoryid) {
-        this.category().incrementPostCount();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Avoid Complex Business Logic
-```cfm
-// ✅ GOOD: Move complex logic to services
-private void function processOrder() {
-    orderService = createObject("component", "services.OrderService");
-    orderService.processOrder(this);
-}
-
-// ❌ BAD: Complex logic directly in callback
-private void function processOrder() {
-    // 50 lines of complex business logic...
-}
-```
-
-### 5. Test Callback Behavior
-```cfm
-// Always test that callbacks work as expected
-function testCallbackChain() {
-    // Test that all callbacks in chain execute
-    // Test callback order
-    // Test error scenarios
-}
-```
-
-## Common Callback Use Cases
-
-1. **Data Normalization**: Clean and format data before validation
-2. **Slug Generation**: Create URL-friendly slugs from titles
-3. **Password Hashing**: Secure password storage
-4. **Timestamp Management**: Track creation and modification times
-5. **Cache Management**: Clear relevant caches when data changes
-6. **Audit Logging**: Track changes for compliance and debugging
-7. **File Management**: Handle file uploads and cleanup
-8. **Notifications**: Send emails or trigger events
-9. **Search Indexing**: Update search indexes when content changes
-10. **Counter Updates**: Maintain denormalized counters

-# Enums
-
-## Description
-
-Enums map a model property to a fixed set of named values — similar to database enums but defined at the application level. When you declare an enum, Wheels automatically generates boolean checker methods (`is<Value>()`), query scopes for each value, and an inclusion validation ensuring only valid values can be saved.
-
-## Key Points
-
-- Defined in `config()` using the `enum()` function
-- Accepts a comma-delimited list of values **or** a struct mapping names to stored values
-- Auto-generates `is<Value>()` boolean instance methods on model objects
-- Auto-generates query scopes for each value (e.g., `model("Post").draft()`)
-- Auto-registers a `validatesInclusionOf()` validation
-- Works with both string-based and numeric-backed enums
-
-## Defining Enums
-
-### String-Based Enums
-
-When values are a simple comma-delimited list, each name is also the stored database value:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-This stores literal strings `"draft"`, `"published"`, and `"archived"` in the `status` column.
-
-### Numeric-Backed Enums
-
-When values are a struct, the keys are human-readable names and the values are what gets stored in the database:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        enum(property="priority", values={low: 0, medium: 1, high: 2});
-    }
-}
-```
-
-This stores `0`, `1`, or `2` in the `priority` column, but you interact with them by name.
-
-### Multiple Enums per Model
-
-You can define as many enums as you need:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
-        enum(property="visibility", values="public,private,unlisted");
-        enum(property="priority", values={low: 0, medium: 1, high: 2});
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Auto-Generated Methods
-
-### Boolean Checkers: `is<Value>()`
-
-For each enum value, Wheels generates a boolean checker method on model instances. The method name is `is` followed by the capitalized value name.
-
-```cfm
-// Given: enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived")
-post = model("Post").findByKey(1);
-
-post.isDraft();      // true if post.status == "draft"
-post.isPublished();  // true if post.status == "published"
-post.isArchived();   // true if post.status == "archived"
-```
-
-For numeric-backed enums, the checker compares against the stored value:
-
-```cfm
-// Given: enum(property="priority", values={low: 0, medium: 1, high: 2})
-task = model("Task").findByKey(1);
-
-task.isLow();    // true if task.priority == 0
-task.isMedium(); // true if task.priority == 1
-task.isHigh();   // true if task.priority == 2
-```
-
-**Use in views:**
-
-```cfm
-<cfparam name="post" default="">
-
-<cfif post.isPublished()>
-    <span class="badge badge-success">Published</span>
-<cfelseif post.isDraft()>
-    <span class="badge badge-warning">Draft</span>
-<cfelse>
-    <span class="badge badge-secondary">Archived</span>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-### Auto-Generated Scopes
-
-Each enum value becomes a query scope, letting you filter records by value:
-
-```cfm
-// Given: enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived")
-
-// Find all published posts
-published = model("Post").published().findAll();
-
-// Find all drafts, ordered by creation date
-drafts = model("Post").draft().findAll(order="createdAt DESC");
-
-// Count archived posts
-archiveCount = model("Post").archived().count();
-
-// Chain with other scopes or query builder
-model("Post").published().where("authorId", 5).get();
-```
-
-For numeric-backed enums, the scope matches the stored value:
-
-```cfm
-// Given: enum(property="priority", values={low: 0, medium: 1, high: 2})
-
-highPriorityTasks = model("Task").high().findAll();
-lowPriorityCount  = model("Task").low().count();
-```
-
-### Automatic Validation
-
-Enums automatically register a `validatesInclusionOf()` on the property, restricting it to the defined values. The validation allows blank values (so you can combine with `validatesPresenceOf()` if you want to require the field).
-
-```cfm
-// Given: enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived")
-
-post = model("Post").new(status="invalid_value");
-post.valid();  // false
-post.errorsOn("status");  // "is not included in the list"
-
-post.status = "draft";
-post.valid();  // true (for this validation)
-```
-
-To also require the property, add an explicit presence validation:
-
-```cfm
-function config() {
-    enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
-    validatesPresenceOf("status");
-}
-```
-
-## enum() Reference
-
-| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
-|----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| `property` | string | Yes | The model property to map as an enum. |
-| `values` | string or struct | Yes | Comma-delimited list of value names (string-based) or a struct mapping names to stored values (numeric-backed). |
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Status Workflow
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        enum(property="status", values="pending,approved,rejected");
-
-        // Callbacks based on status changes
-        beforeSave("notifyOnApproval");
-    }
-
-    private function notifyOnApproval() {
-        if (hasChanged("status") && this.isApproved()) {
-            // Send approval notification
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Conditional Logic in Controllers
-
-```cfm
-function publish() {
-    post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
-    if (post.isDraft()) {
-        post.status = "published";
-        post.save();
-        redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
-    } else {
-        flashInsert(error="Only drafts can be published.");
-        redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Select Dropdown from Enum Values
-
-Since enum values are defined in the model, you can build form selects from them:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- In the controller --->
-function edit() {
-    post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
-    statusOptions = "draft,published,archived";
-}
-
-<!--- In the view --->
-<cfparam name="post" default="">
-<cfparam name="statusOptions" default="">
-
-#selectTag(
-    name="post[status]",
-    options=statusOptions,
-    selected=post.status,
-    label="Status"
-)#
-```
-
-### Combining Enums with Query Builder
-
-```cfm
-// Use enum scopes as starting points for complex queries
-model("Task")
-    .high()
-    .where("assignedTo", currentUser.id)
-    .whereNull("completedAt")
-    .orderBy("dueDate")
-    .get();
-```

-# Model Methods Reference
-
-## Description
-Comprehensive reference for all Wheels model methods including CRUD operations, associations, validations, and advanced features.
-
-## Key Points
-- All models extend `wheels.Model` for ORM functionality
-- Methods are categorized by usage: class methods, instance methods, configuration methods
-- Use consistent argument syntax (all named OR all positional)
-- Associations return QUERY objects, not arrays
-
-## Core Model Methods
-
-### Class Methods (called on model class)
-- **`findAll()`** - Find multiple records with conditions
-- **`findByKey(key)`** - Find single record by primary key
-- **`findOne()`** - Find single record with conditions
-- **`create(properties)`** - Create and save new record
-- **`new(properties)`** - Create new unsaved record
-- **`updateAll()`** - Update multiple records
-- **`deleteAll()`** - Delete multiple records
-- **`count()`** - Count records matching conditions
-- **`exists()`** - Check if records exist
-
-### Instance Methods (called on model object)
-- **`save()`** - Save changes to database
-- **`update(properties)`** - Update and save record
-- **`delete()`** - Delete record from database
-- **`valid()`** - Check if record passes validation
-- **`hasErrors()`** - Check if record has validation errors
-- **`reload()`** - Reload record from database
-
-### Configuration Methods (used in config())
-- **`property()`** - Define custom properties and mappings
-- **`table()`** - Specify database table name
-- **`dataSource()`** - Specify custom data source for this model
-- **`belongsTo(name="model name", foreignKey="")`** - Define parent relationship
-- **`hasMany()`** - Define child collection relationship
-- **`hasOne()`** - Define one-to-one relationship
-- **`validate*()`** - Define validation rules
-- **`validate(method="")`** - Define custom validation methods
-- **`nestedProperties()`** - Enable saving of associated models in single operation
-- **`timeStampOnCreateProperty`** - Enable automatic createdAt timestamp using `set` function
-- **`timeStampOnUpdateProperty`** - Enable automatic updatedAt timestamp using `set` function
-- **`protectedProperties()`** - Protect properties from mass assignment
-- **`accessibleProperties()`** - Allow specific properties for mass assignment
-
-### Query and Statistical Methods
-- **`sum(property)`** - Calculate sum of property values
-- **`average(property)`** - Calculate average of property values
-- **`minimum(property)`** - Find minimum property value
-- **`maximum(property)`** - Find maximum property value
-- **`invokeWithTransaction()`** - Execute method within transaction
-
-### Change Tracking Methods
-- **`hasChanged(property="")`** - Check if object/property has changed
-- **`changedFrom(property)`** - Get previous value of property
-- **`changedProperties()`** - Get list of changed property names
-- **`allChanges()`** - Get struct of all changes (names and values)
-- **`isNew()`** - Check if object is new (not yet saved to database)
-
-### Dynamic Finder Methods
-- **`findOneBy[Property](value)`** - Dynamic finder for single property
-- **`findAllBy[Property](value)`** - Dynamic finder for single property
-- **`findOneBy[Property]And[Property](values)`** - Dynamic finder for multiple properties
-- **`[property]HasChanged()`** - Dynamic change check for specific property
-- **`[property]ChangedFrom()`** - Dynamic previous value check for specific property
-
-## Important Notes
-- Wheels models do NOT have a `scope()` function (use custom finder methods)
-- Associations return QUERY objects, use `.recordCount` not `ArrayLen()`
-- Always use consistent argument syntax in method calls
-- Model names are SINGULAR (User.cfc → users table)

-```
-
-### Selective Column Loading
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * Use specific selects to reduce data transfer
-     */
-    function getRecentPostTitles(numeric days = 7) {

-            where="status = 'published'",
-            order="title"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Efficient Pagination
-```cfm

-
-    /**
-     * Paginate large datasets efficiently
-     */
-    function getPostsPaginated(numeric page = 1, numeric perPage = 10) {
-        return this.findAll(
-            page=arguments.page,
-            perPage=arguments.perPage,
-            order="createdat DESC",
-            include="author"  // Load author data to avoid N+1
-        );
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Count records efficiently for pagination
-     */
-    function getPostCount() {
-        return this.count();
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Get pagination metadata
-     */
-    function getPaginationInfo(numeric page = 1, numeric perPage = 10) {
-        local.totalRecords = this.count();
-        local.totalPages = ceiling(local.totalRecords / arguments.perPage);
-
-        return {

-            hasPreviousPage = arguments.page > 1
-        };
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Boolean Existence Checks
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    /**
-     * Use exists() instead of count() for boolean checks
-     */
-    function hasRecentActivity(numeric days = 30) {

-            where="createdat > '#dateAdd("d", -arguments.days, now())#'"
-        );
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Check for related records efficiently
-     */
-    function hasPublishedPosts() {
-        return this.posts().exists(where="status = 'published'");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Efficient user verification
-     */
-    function userExists(required string email) {
-        return model("User").exists(where="email = '#arguments.email#'");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Caching Strategies
-
-### Query Result Caching
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        // Enable automatic query caching
-        afterFind("enableQueryCache");
-        afterSave("clearRelatedCache");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * Cache expensive calculations
-     */
-    function getStatistics() {
-        local.cacheKey = "user_#this.id#_stats";
-
-        if (!cacheKeyExists(local.cacheKey)) {
-            local.stats = {
-                postCount = this.posts().count(),
-                commentCount = this.comments().count(),
-                totalViews = this.posts().sum("viewCount"),
-                averageRating = this.posts().average("rating")
-            };

-## Performance Best Practices
-
-### 1. Query Optimization
-- Use `include` to avoid N+1 queries
-- Select only necessary columns
-- Use indexed columns in WHERE clauses
-- Implement proper pagination for large datasets
-- Use `exists()` instead of `count()` for boolean checks
-
-### 2. Caching Strategy
-- Cache expensive calculations and queries
-- Implement smart cache invalidation
-- Use cache dependencies for related data
-- Monitor cache hit rates and effectiveness
-
-### 3. Database Design
-- Create appropriate indexes on frequently queried columns
-- Use composite indexes for multi-column queries
-- Consider denormalization for read-heavy applications
-- Implement proper foreign key constraints
-
-### 4. Memory Management
-- Use lazy loading for expensive operations
-- Process large datasets in batches
-- Clear unused object references
-- Monitor memory usage in production
-
-### 5. Connection Management
-- Use database transactions appropriately
-- Avoid long-running transactions
-- Pool database connections effectively
-- Monitor connection usage and limits
-
-### 6. Monitoring and Profiling
-- Log slow queries for investigation
-- Monitor application performance metrics
-- Use profiling tools to identify bottlenecks
-- Implement performance alerts and notifications
-
-## Common Performance Anti-Patterns
-
-### ❌ N+1 Query Problem
-```cfm
-// BAD: Causes N+1 queries
-posts = model("Post").findAll();
-for (post in posts) {
-    author = post.author(); // Separate query for each post
-}
-```
-
-### ✅ Solution: Use Includes
-```cfm
-// GOOD: Single query with join
-posts = model("Post").findAll(include="author");
-```
-
-### ❌ Loading Unnecessary Data
-```cfm
-// BAD: Loading all columns when only need title
-posts = model("Post").findAll();
-```
-
-### ✅ Solution: Select Specific Columns
-```cfm
-// GOOD: Only load necessary data
-posts = model("Post").findAll(select="id, title, createdat");
-```
-
-### ❌ Inefficient Counting
-```cfm
-// BAD: Counting with count() when you just need boolean
-if (user.posts().count() > 0) {
-    // User has posts
-}
-```
-
-### ✅ Solution: Use Exists
-```cfm
-// GOOD: Boolean check with exists()
-if (user.posts().exists()) {
-    // User has posts
-}
-```

-# Chainable Query Builder
-
-## Description
-
-The chainable query builder provides a fluent, object-oriented alternative to the traditional `findAll(where="...")` string-based approach. Instead of manually constructing SQL strings, you build queries by chaining method calls. All values are automatically quoted using the model's database adapter, preventing SQL injection.
-
-## Key Points
-
-- Start a chain by calling `.where()`, `.orderBy()`, `.limit()`, etc. directly on a model
-- All values are auto-quoted based on the column's data type — injection-safe by default
-- Finish the chain with a terminal method: `.get()`, `.first()`, `.count()`, `.exists()`, etc.
-- Composes with query scopes: `model("User").active().where("age", ">", 18).get()`
-- Supports all standard SQL comparison operators
-- Ultimately delegates to the model's standard finder methods (`findAll`, `findOne`, etc.)
-
-## Building Queries
-
-### Starting a Chain
-
-Call any builder method directly on a model to start a chain:
-
-```cfm
-// These all start a QueryBuilder chain
-model("User").where("status", "active")
-model("User").whereNotNull("emailVerifiedAt")
-model("User").orderBy("name")
-model("User").limit(10)
-```
-
-### where() — Equality and Comparison
-
-The `where()` method supports three calling conventions:
-
-```cfm
-// 2-argument form: property + value (assumes = operator)
-model("User").where("status", "active")
-// Generates: status = 'active'
-
-// 3-argument form: property + operator + value
-model("User").where("age", ">", 18)
-// Generates: age > 18
-
-// 1-argument form: raw WHERE string (passthrough)
-model("User").where("status = 'active' AND role = 'admin'")
-// Generates: status = 'active' AND role = 'admin'
-```
-
-**Supported operators (3-argument form):** `=`, `!=`, `<>`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `LIKE`, `NOT LIKE`
-
-### orWhere() — OR Conditions
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .where("role", "admin")
-    .orWhere("role", "moderator")
-    .get();
-// Generates: role = 'admin' OR role = 'moderator'
-```
-
-`orWhere()` supports the same 1-, 2-, and 3-argument forms as `where()`.
-
-### whereNull() / whereNotNull()
-
-```cfm
-// Find users who haven't verified their email
-model("User").whereNull("emailVerifiedAt").get();
-// Generates: emailVerifiedAt IS NULL
-
-// Find users who have verified their email
-model("User").whereNotNull("emailVerifiedAt").get();
-// Generates: emailVerifiedAt IS NOT NULL
-```
-
-### whereBetween()
-
-```cfm
-model("Product").whereBetween("price", 10, 100).get();
-// Generates: price BETWEEN 10 AND 100
-```
-
-### whereIn() / whereNotIn()
-
-Accepts either an array or a comma-delimited list of values:
-
-```cfm
-// Array of values
-model("User").whereIn("role", ["admin", "editor", "author"]).get();
-// Generates: role IN ('admin','editor','author')
-
-// Comma-delimited list
-model("User").whereNotIn("status", "banned,suspended").get();
-// Generates: status NOT IN ('banned','suspended')
-```
-
-### orderBy()
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .where("status", "active")
-    .orderBy("lastName", "ASC")
-    .orderBy("firstName", "ASC")
-    .get();
-// Generates: ORDER BY lastName ASC, firstName ASC
-```
-
-The second argument defaults to `"ASC"` if omitted:
-
-```cfm
-model("User").orderBy("createdAt").get();       // ASC
-model("User").orderBy("createdAt", "DESC").get(); // DESC
-```
-
-### limit() and offset()
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .where("status", "active")
-    .orderBy("createdAt", "DESC")
-    .limit(25)
-    .offset(50)
-    .get();
-```
-
-### select()
-
-Choose specific columns instead of `SELECT *`:
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .select("id,firstName,lastName,email")
-    .where("status", "active")
-    .get();
-```
-
-### include()
-
-Eagerly load associations (generates JOINs):
-
-```cfm
-model("Post")
-    .include("author,comments")
-    .where("status", "published")
-    .orderBy("publishedAt", "DESC")
-    .get();
-```
-
-### group()
-
-```cfm
-model("Order")
-    .select("status, COUNT(*) AS orderCount")
-    .group("status")
-    .get();
-```
-
-### distinct()
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .select("role")
-    .distinct()
-    .get();
-```
-
-## Combining Multiple Conditions
-
-Chain multiple `where()` calls — they are joined with `AND`:
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .where("status", "active")
-    .where("role", "admin")
-    .where("age", ">=", 21)
-    .whereNotNull("emailVerifiedAt")
-    .orderBy("lastName")
-    .limit(50)
-    .get();
-// WHERE status = 'active' AND role = 'admin' AND age >= 21 AND emailVerifiedAt IS NOT NULL
-// ORDER BY lastName ASC
-// LIMIT 50
-```
-
-Mix `AND` and `OR`:
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .where("status", "active")
-    .where("role", "admin")
-    .orWhere("role", "superadmin")
-    .get();
-// WHERE status = 'active' AND role = 'admin' OR role = 'superadmin'
-```
-
-> **Note:** Complex grouping with parentheses (e.g., `WHERE a AND (b OR c)`) is not currently supported by the builder. For those cases, use the 1-argument `where()` passthrough form or the traditional `findAll(where="...")`.
-
-## Terminal Methods
-
-Nothing hits the database until you call a terminal method:
-
-| Method | Returns | Equivalent to |
-|--------|---------|---------------|
-| `.get()` | Query/Array | `findAll()` |
-| `.findAll()` | Query/Array | `findAll()` |
-| `.first()` | Object/false | `findOne()` |
-| `.findOne()` | Object/false | `findOne()` |
-| `.count()` | Numeric | `count()` |
-| `.exists()` | Boolean | `exists()` |
-| `.updateAll()` | Numeric | `updateAll()` |
-| `.deleteAll()` | Numeric | `deleteAll()` |
-| `.findEach()` | void | `findEach()` |
-| `.findInBatches()` | void | `findInBatches()` |
-
-Terminal methods accept the same optional arguments as their model equivalents:
-
-```cfm
-// Pass finder options to the terminal method
-model("User")
-    .where("status", "active")
-    .get(page=2, perPage=25, returnAs="structs");
-
-// Delete with soft-delete awareness
-model("User")
-    .where("status", "banned")
-    .deleteAll(includeSoftDeletes=true);
-```
-
-## Composing with Scopes
-
-The query builder and scopes work together seamlessly. You can start with a scope and continue with builder methods, or vice versa:
-
-```cfm
-// Scope first, then builder
-model("User")
-    .active()
-    .where("age", ">", 21)
-    .orderBy("name")
-    .get();
-
-// Multiple scopes, then builder
-model("User")
-    .active()
-    .recent()
-    .where("role", "admin")
-    .limit(10)
-    .get();
-
-// Scope + builder + terminal with extra args
-model("User")
-    .active()
-    .where("role", "admin")
-    .findAll(page=1, perPage=25);
-```
-
-## SQL Injection Safety
-
-The query builder automatically quotes values based on the column's data type as defined in the database schema. String values are quoted, numeric values are cast appropriately, and special characters are escaped.
-
-```cfm
-// Safe — the value "admin" is auto-quoted as a string
-model("User").where("role", "admin").get();
-
-// Safe — numeric value is validated against the column type
-model("User").where("age", ">", 18).get();
-
-// Safe — each value in the list is individually quoted
-model("User").whereIn("status", ["active", "pending"]).get();
-```
-
-> **Note:** The 1-argument raw string form (`.where("raw SQL here")`) passes the string through unchanged. If you use that form, you are responsible for preventing injection.
-
-## Complete Example
-
-```cfm
-// Controller action: search with filters
-function index() {
-    local.query = model("Product");
-
-    // Apply filters conditionally
-    if (StructKeyExists(params, "category")) {
-        local.query = local.query.where("categoryId", params.category);
-    }
-    if (StructKeyExists(params, "minPrice")) {
-        local.query = local.query.where("price", ">=", params.minPrice);
-    }
-    if (StructKeyExists(params, "maxPrice")) {
-        local.query = local.query.where("price", "<=", params.maxPrice);
-    }
-    if (StructKeyExists(params, "inStock") && params.inStock) {
-        local.query = local.query.where("quantity", ">", 0);
-    }
-
-    products = local.query
-        .include("category")
-        .orderBy("name")
-        .get(page=params.page, perPage=20);
-}
-```

-# Query Scopes
-
-## Description
-
-Query scopes let you define reusable query fragments in your model's `config()` method and compose them together using a fluent, chainable API. Instead of repeating the same `where`, `order`, or `include` arguments across your controllers, you define them once as named scopes and call them like methods on the model.
-
-## Key Points
-
-- Defined in `config()` using the `scope()` function
-- Called as methods directly on the model: `model("User").active()`
-- Chainable: `model("User").active().recent().findAll()`
-- Support static arguments (`where`, `order`, `select`, `include`, `maxRows`)
-- Support dynamic arguments via a `handler` function
-- Compose with all terminal finder methods: `findAll()`, `findOne()`, `count()`, `exists()`, `sum()`, `average()`, `minimum()`, `maximum()`, `updateAll()`, `deleteAll()`, `findEach()`, `findInBatches()`
-- Multiple `where` clauses are combined with `AND`
-- Multiple `order` clauses are appended together
-- Multiple `include` clauses are merged
-
-## Defining Scopes
-
-### Static Scopes
-
-Static scopes use fixed query arguments that don't change at call time.
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Filter by a WHERE condition
-        scope(name="active", where="status = 'active'");
-
-        // Order results
-        scope(name="recent", order="createdAt DESC");
-
-        // Combine WHERE + ORDER
-        scope(name="recentlyActive", where="status = 'active'", order="createdAt DESC");
-
-        // Limit results
-        scope(name="topTen", order="score DESC", maxRows=10);
-
-        // Select specific columns
-        scope(name="nameOnly", select="id,firstName,lastName");
-
-        // Eagerly load associations
-        scope(name="withOrders", include="orders");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Dynamic Scopes
-
-Dynamic scopes accept parameters at call time. Define them with the `handler` argument pointing to a private method on your model. The handler receives whatever arguments the caller passes and must return a struct with valid query keys (`where`, `order`, `select`, `include`, `maxRows`).
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        scope(name="byRole", handler="scopeByRole");
-        scope(name="createdAfter", handler="scopeCreatedAfter");
-        scope(name="search", handler="scopeSearch");
-    }
-
-    private struct function scopeByRole(required string role) {
-        return {where: "role = '#arguments.role#'"};
-    }
-
-    private struct function scopeCreatedAfter(required date startDate) {
-        return {
-            where: "createdAt >= '#DateFormat(arguments.startDate, 'yyyy-mm-dd')#'",
-            order: "createdAt ASC"
-        };
-    }
-
-    private struct function scopeSearch(required string term) {
-        return {
-            where: "firstName LIKE '%#arguments.term#%' OR lastName LIKE '%#arguments.term#%' OR email LIKE '%#arguments.term#%'"
-        };
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Using Scopes
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```cfm
-// In a controller action
-function index() {
-    // Single scope
-    users = model("User").active().findAll();
-
-    // Chain multiple scopes — WHERE clauses are AND'd, ORDER BY clauses are appended
-    users = model("User").active().recent().findAll();
-
-    // Dynamic scope with parameter
-    admins = model("User").byRole("admin").findAll();
-
-    // Scopes with additional finder arguments
-    users = model("User").active().findAll(page=params.page, perPage=25);
-}
-```
-
-### Chaining Scopes Together
-
-When you chain scopes, their query fragments are merged:
-
-```cfm
-// Given these scopes:
-//   active  -> where="status = 'active'"
-//   recent  -> order="createdAt DESC"
-//   topTen  -> order="score DESC", maxRows=10
-
-// This:
-model("User").active().recent().findAll();
-
-// Produces a query equivalent to:
-model("User").findAll(where="status = 'active'", order="createdAt DESC");
-```
-
-**Merge rules:**
-- `where` clauses are combined with `AND`: `(scope1.where) AND (scope2.where)`
-- `order` clauses are appended: `scope1.order, scope2.order`
-- `include` clauses are appended: `scope1.include, scope2.include`
-- `select` takes the last scope's value (overrides earlier scopes)
-- `maxRows` takes the smallest value when multiple scopes specify it
-
-### Terminal Methods
-
-Scope chains are lazy — nothing hits the database until you call a terminal method:
-
-```cfm
-// Retrieve records
-users = model("User").active().findAll();
-user  = model("User").active().findOne();
-user  = model("User").active().findByKey(42);
-user  = model("User").active().findFirst();
-
-// Aggregations
-total   = model("User").active().count();
-found   = model("User").active().exists();
-avgAge  = model("User").active().average(property="age");
-total   = model("User").active().sum(property="balance");
-oldest  = model("User").active().minimum(property="createdAt");
-newest  = model("User").active().maximum(property="createdAt");
-
-// Bulk operations
-model("User").active().updateAll(status="archived");
-model("User").active().deleteAll();
-
-// Batch processing
-model("User").active().findEach(batchSize=500, callback=function(user) {
-    user.sendReminder();
-});
-```
-
-### Combining Scopes with the Query Builder
-
-Scopes and the chainable query builder work together. Start with a scope, then add builder conditions:
-
-```cfm
-// Start with scope, then add query builder conditions
-model("User")
-    .active()
-    .where("age", ">", 21)
-    .orderBy("lastName", "ASC")
-    .get();
-```
-
-## scope() Reference
-
-| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
-|----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `name` | string | *required* | The scope name. Becomes a callable method on the model. |
-| `where` | string | `""` | A WHERE clause fragment. |
-| `order` | string | `""` | An ORDER BY clause fragment. |
-| `select` | string | `""` | A SELECT clause override. |
-| `include` | string | `""` | Associations to include (join). |
-| `maxRows` | numeric | `0` | Maximum records to return (0 = unlimited). |
-| `handler` | string | `""` | Name of a private model method for dynamic scopes. |
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Default Scope via Controller Filter
-
-```cfm
-// In your controller
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        filters(through="loadActiveUsers", only="index");
-    }
-
-    function index() {
-        // users already scoped to active by the filter
-    }
-
-    private function loadActiveUsers() {
-        users = model("User").active().recent().findAll(page=params.page, perPage=25);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Scope per Status
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        scope(name="draft", where="status = 'draft'");
-        scope(name="published", where="status = 'published'");
-        scope(name="archived", where="status = 'archived'");
-    }
-}
-
-// Usage
-drafts    = model("Post").draft().findAll();
-published = model("Post").published().recent().findAll();
-```
-
-> **Tip:** If you're defining scopes for every value of a property, consider using `enum()` instead — it generates scopes automatically. See the [Enums documentation](enums.md).

-# Shared Models (Multi-Tenancy)
-
-## Automatic Datasource Switching
-
-When a tenant is active (`request.wheels.tenant` exists), every model query automatically routes to the tenant's datasource. This happens in `$performQuery()` (in `vendor/wheels/databaseAdapters/Base.cfc`):
-
-```cfm
-if (
-    !variables.$sharedModel
-    && arguments.dataSource == variables.dataSource
-    && IsDefined("request.wheels.tenant.dataSource")
-    && Len(request.wheels.tenant.dataSource)
-) {
-    arguments.dataSource = request.wheels.tenant.dataSource;
-}
-```
-
-The override triggers only when:
-1. The model is **not** shared (`$sharedModel = false`)
-2. The query uses the model's default datasource (not an explicit override)
-3. A tenant is active with a non-empty datasource
-
-## `sharedModel()`
-
-Call `sharedModel()` in a model's `config()` to exclude it from tenant datasource switching. The model always uses the application default datasource.
-
-```cfm
-// app/models/Tenant.cfc
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();
-        hasMany(name="subscriptions");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### How It Works
-1. `sharedModel()` sets `variables.wheels.class.sharedModel = true` on the model
-2. After adapter assignment in `Model.cfc`, the flag propagates: `adapter.$setSharedModel(true)`
-3. `$performQuery()` checks `variables.$sharedModel` and skips the DS override
-
-### Propagation Chain
-```
-Model config() → sharedModel() → wheels.class.sharedModel = true
-Model $wheels() → $assignAdapter() → adapter.$setSharedModel(true)
-Query time → $performQuery() → checks adapter.$sharedModel → skips override
-```
-
-## Decision Matrix
-
-| Model | Shared? | Why |
-|-------|---------|-----|
-| Tenant | Yes | Central registry of all tenants |
-| Plan / Subscription | Yes | Billing data in central DB |
-| SystemConfig | Yes | Global app configuration |
-| AuditLog (central) | Yes | Cross-tenant audit trail |
-| User | Depends | Per-tenant if users belong to one tenant; shared if users span tenants |
-| Product | No | Tenant-specific catalog |
-| Order | No | Tenant-specific transactions |
-| Invoice | No | Tenant-specific billing records |
-
-**Rule of thumb:** If the table exists in every tenant database, don't share it. If it exists only in the central database, share it.
-
-## Example — SaaS Model Structure
-
-```cfm
-// app/models/Tenant.cfc — SHARED (central DB)
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();
-        hasMany(name="users");
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,slug,dsName");
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="slug");
-    }
-}
-
-// app/models/Plan.cfc — SHARED (central DB)
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();
-        hasMany(name="tenants");
-    }
-}
-
-// app/models/User.cfc — TENANT-SPECIFIC (per-tenant DB)
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        belongsTo(name="role");
-        validatesPresenceOf("email,firstName");
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
-    }
-}
-
-// app/models/Product.cfc — TENANT-SPECIFIC (per-tenant DB)
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        hasMany(name="orders");
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,price");
-    }
-}
-```

-        it("should authenticate valid credentials", () => { ... });
-        it("should reject invalid passwords", () => { ... });
-    });
-});
-```
-
-### 2. Use Lifecycle Methods for Clean Tests
-```cfm
-beforeEach(() => {
-    // Fresh data for each test
-    variables.testUser = createUser();
-});
-
-afterEach(() => {
-    // Clean up after each test
-    if (structKeyExists(variables, "testUser")) {
-        variables.testUser.delete();
-    }
-});
-```
-
-### 3. Test Edge Cases with Clear Expectations
-```cfm
-it("should handle edge case with null values", () => {
-    var user = model("User").new({ email: null });
-    expect(user.valid()).toBeFalse();
-    expect(user.hasErrors("email")).toBeTrue();
-});
-```
-
-### 4. Use MockBox for External Dependencies
-```cfm
-beforeEach(() => {
-    variables.mockEmailService = createMock("EmailService");
-    variables.mockEmailService.$("sendEmail").returns(true);
-    application.emailService = variables.mockEmailService;
-});
-```
-
-### 5. Focus on Business Logic
-- Test model methods, not framework features
-- Test validations, associations, and custom logic
-- Use clear, readable expectations
-- Group related functionality with nested describe blocks

-
-## Key Features Demonstrated
-
-### Advanced Security
-- Password hashing with salt
-- Account locking after failed attempts
-- Email verification workflow
-- Password reset with token expiration
-- Role-based permissions
-- Audit logging for profile changes
-
-### Comprehensive Validation
-- Built-in validations (presence, uniqueness, format)
-- Custom password strength validation
-- Username format validation
-- Reserved username prevention
-
-### User Management
-- Authentication with email or username
-- Role assignment and permission checking
-- Profile management with change tracking
-- Login attempt tracking and statistics
-
-### Database Design
-Virtual properties for calculated fields and complex associations through join tables for role management.
-
-## Usage Examples
-
-### Authentication
-```cfm
-// In controller
-result = model("User").authenticate(params.email, params.password);
-if (result.success) {
-    session.user = result.user;
-    redirectTo(route="dashboard");
-} else {
-    flash.error = result.error;
-    renderView(action="login");
-}
-```
-
-### Role Management
-```cfm
-user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-user.addRole("administrator");
-if (user.hasPermission("users.delete")) {
-    // Allow user deletion
-}
-```
-
-### Password Reset
-```cfm
-user = model("User").findByEmail(params.email);
-user.generatePasswordResetToken();
-// Send reset email with token
-```

-    }
-}
-```
-

-
-### Inline Custom Validations
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {

-        validate(
-            property="email",

-}
-```
-
-## Validation Lifecycle and Methods
-
-### Validation Checking Methods
-```cfm
-// Check if model is valid
-user = model("User").new(params.user);
-if (user.valid()) {
-    user.save();
-} else {
-    // Handle validation errors
-    errors = user.allErrors();
-}
-
-// Check for specific property errors
-if (user.hasErrors("email")) {
-    emailErrors = user.errorsOn("email");
-}
-
-// Get all error messages
-allErrors = user.allErrors();
-
-// Get errors for specific property
-emailErrors = user.errorsOn("email");
-
-// Add custom error
-user.addError(property="custom", message="Custom error message");
-```
-
-### Validation Context
-```cfm
-// Validate in specific context
-user.valid(mode="onCreate");
-user.valid(mode="onUpdate");
-
-// Skip validations
-user.save(validate=false);
-
-// Validate without saving
-if (user.valid()) {
-    // Proceed with business logic
-}
-```
-
-## Advanced Validation Patterns
-
-### Conditional Validation Based on Other Fields
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        validate(method="validateShippingInfo");
-    }
-
-    private void function validateShippingInfo() {
-        if (this.requiresShipping) {
-            if (!len(this.shippingAddress)) {
-                addError(property="shippingAddress", message="Shipping address is required");
-            }
-            if (!len(this.shippingMethod)) {
-                addError(property="shippingMethod", message="Shipping method is required");
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Cross-Model Validation
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        validate(method="validateOrderItems");
-    }
-
-    private void function validateOrderItems() {
-        local.items = this.orderItems();
-
-        if (local.items.recordCount == 0) {
-            addError(message="Order must have at least one item");
-        }
-
-        // Check inventory for each item
-        for (local.item in local.items) {
-            if (local.item.quantity > local.item.product().inventory) {
-                addError(
-                    property="items",
-                    message="Insufficient inventory for #local.item.product().name#"
-                );
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Validation Groups
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Basic validations
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,email");
-
-        // Extended validations for complete profile
-        validate(method="validateCompleteProfile", condition="this.validationGroup == 'complete'");
-    }
-
-    private void function validateCompleteProfile() {
-        validatesPresenceOf("phone,address,city,state,zipCode");
-        validatesLengthOf(property="bio", minimum=50);
-    }
-}
-
-// Usage
-user.validationGroup = "complete";
-if (user.valid()) {
-    // Complete profile validation passed
-}
-```
-
-## Error Handling and Display
-
-### Controller Error Handling
-```cfm
-// In controller
-function create() {
-    user = model("User").new(params.user);
-
-    if (user.save()) {
-        redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id, success="User created successfully!");
-    } else {
-        // Store model with errors for view
-        renderView(action="new");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### View Error Display
-```cfm
-<!-- Display all errors for object -->
-#errorMessagesFor("user")#
-
-<!-- Display errors for specific property -->
-#errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="email")#
-
-<!-- Manual error display -->
-<cfif user.hasErrors()>
-    <div class="alert alert-danger">
-        <h4>Please correct the following errors:</h4>
-        <ul>
-            <cfloop array="#user.allErrors()#" index="error">
-                <li>#error.message#</li>
-            </cfloop>
-        </ul>
-    </div>
-</cfif>
-
-<!-- Property-specific error styling -->
-<div class="form-group <cfif user.hasErrors('email')>has-error</cfif>">
-    #label(objectName="user", property="email")#
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="email", class="form-control")#
-    #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="email")#
-</div>
-```
-
-## Testing Validations
-
-### Validation Test Examples
-```cfm
-component extends="tests.Test" {
-
-    function testValidatesPresenceOfName() {
-        user = model("User").new();
-        assert(!user.valid(), "User should be invalid without name");

-    }
-
-    function testValidatesEmailFormat() {
-        user = model("User").new(name="John", email="invalid-email");
-        assert(!user.valid(), "User should be invalid with bad email");
-        assert(user.hasErrors("email"), "User should have email format error");
-
-        user.email = "john@example.com";
-        assert(user.valid(), "User should be valid with good email");
-    }
-
-    function testValidatesUniquenessOfEmail() {
-        // Create first user
-        user1 = model("User").create(name="John", email="john@example.com");
-        assert(user1.valid(), "First user should be valid");
-
-        // Try to create second user with same email
-        user2 = model("User").new(name="Jane", email="john@example.com");
-        assert(!user2.valid(), "Second user should be invalid with duplicate email");
-        assert(user2.hasErrors("email"), "Second user should have email uniqueness error");
-    }
-
-    function testCustomPasswordValidation() {
-        user = model("User").new(name="John", email="john@example.com");
-
-        // Test weak password
-        user.password = "weak";
-        assert(!user.valid(), "User should be invalid with weak password");
-        assert(user.hasErrors("password"), "User should have password strength error");
-
-        // Test strong password
-        user.password = "StrongPass123!";
-        assert(user.valid(), "User should be valid with strong password");
-    }
-
-    function testConditionalValidation() {
-        order = model("Order").new(requiresShipping=false);
-        assert(order.valid(), "Order should be valid without shipping when not required");
-
-        order.requiresShipping = true;
-        assert(!order.valid(), "Order should be invalid without shipping when required");
-
-        order.shippingAddress = "123 Main St";
-        order.shippingMethod = "standard";
-        assert(order.valid(), "Order should be valid with shipping info when required");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Common Validation Patterns
-
-### User Registration
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        validatesPresenceOf("username,email,password");
-        validatesUniquenessOf("username,email");
-        validatesLengthOf(property="username", minimum=3, maximum=50);
-        validatesLengthOf(property="password", minimum=8);
-        validatesFormatOf(property="email", with="^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$");
-        validatesConfirmationOf("password");
-        validate(method="validatePasswordStrength");
-        validate(method="validateUsernameFormat");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Product Catalog
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,price,categoryid");
-        validatesNumericalityOf("price", greaterThan=0);
-        validatesNumericalityOf("weight", greaterThan=0, allowBlank=true);
-        validatesLengthOf(property="name", minimum=3, maximum=255);
-        validatesUniquenessOf("sku", allowBlank=true);
-        validatesInclusionOf(property="status", in="active,inactive,discontinued");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Content Management
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        validatesPresenceOf("title,content,authorid");
-        validatesLengthOf(property="title", minimum=5, maximum=255);
-        validatesLengthOf(property="content", minimum=50);
-        validatesUniquenessOf("slug");
-        validatesInclusionOf(property="status", in="draft,published,archived");
-        validate(method="validatePublishDate");
-        validate(method="validateSlugFormat");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use Built-in Validations**: Prefer built-in validations over custom ones when possible
-2. **Consistent Error Messages**: Use clear, consistent error messages across your application
-3. **Conditional Validations**: Use conditional validations for complex business rules
-4. **Test Thoroughly**: Write comprehensive tests for all validation scenarios
-5. **Group Related Validations**: Organize validations logically in the config() method
-6. **Performance**: Custom validations should be efficient, especially for large datasets
-7. **User Experience**: Provide helpful error messages that guide users to correct input

-# Wheels Packages
-
-Packages are first-party optional modules that ship in the Wheels monorepo. They replace the legacy `plugins/` folder introduced pre-3.0 with a cleaner activation model: packages live in `packages/` (not auto-loaded) and are copied or symlinked to `vendor/` to activate.

-
-```
-packages/              ← source / staging (never auto-loaded)
-  sentry/              ← wheels-sentry package
-  hotwire/             ← wheels-hotwire package
-  basecoat/            ← wheels-basecoat package
-vendor/                ← runtime auto-discovery at app startup
-  wheels/              ← framework core (excluded from package discovery)
-  sentry/              ← activated package (copied from packages/sentry)
-plugins/               ← DEPRECATED; legacy plugins still load with warning
-```
-
-On startup, Wheels's `PackageLoader.cfc` scans `vendor/*/package.json` and activates each discovered package in its own try/catch (so a broken package is logged and skipped rather than crashing the app).
-
-## Activating a package
-
-```bash
-# Copy
-cp -r packages/sentry vendor/sentry
-
-# Or symlink (easier for development)
-ln -s ../../packages/sentry vendor/sentry
-```
-
-Then restart or reload the app. Deactivate by removing the `vendor/<package>` directory.
-
-## `package.json` manifest
-
-Every package declares a `package.json` at its root:
-
-```json
-{
-    "name": "wheels-sentry",
-    "version": "1.0.0",
-    "author": "PAI Industries",
-    "description": "Sentry error tracking for Wheels",
-    "wheelsVersion": ">=3.0",
-    "provides": {
-        "mixins": "controller",
-        "services": [],
-        "middleware": []
-    },
-    "dependencies": {}
-}
-```
-
-**`provides.mixins`** determines which framework components receive the package's public methods:
-
-- `controller` — mix into controllers
-- `view` — mix into views
-- `model` — mix into models
-- `global` — mix into all three
-- `none` (default) — no mixin; the package provides services/middleware only
-
-The default is `none` (explicit opt-in). Legacy plugins defaulted to `global`, which was part of why they were hard to reason about.
-
-## First-party packages shipping with Wheels
-
-| Package | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `sentry/` | Error tracking — captures exceptions with framework context and ships to Sentry |
-| `hotwire/` | Turbo + Stimulus integration for server-driven UI |
-| `basecoat/` | UI component library (forms, buttons, layouts) styled for Wheels conventions |
-
-Each has its own `CLAUDE.md` with usage instructions. Check `packages/<name>/CLAUDE.md` for package-specific details.
-
-## Error isolation
-
-Each package loads inside its own try/catch. Common failure modes:
-
-- **Missing `package.json`**: the package is silently skipped
-- **Invalid JSON**: logged to `wheels` log, package skipped
-- **Wheels version mismatch** (`wheelsVersion` range fails): logged, package skipped
-- **Exception during load**: logged with stack, package skipped
-
-A broken package never crashes the host app.
-
-## Testing a package
-
-Once a package is activated in `vendor/`, run its tests via:
-
-```bash
-curl "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json&directory=vendor.sentry.tests"
-```
-
-The `directory` parameter names the package under `vendor/` and scopes the TestBox run to that subdirectory.
-
-## Legacy plugins
-
-The `plugins/` folder still works, but emits a deprecation warning on app startup. New work should use `packages/`. Existing plugins continue to function but should be migrated to the package format when touched.

-# Authentication Patterns
-
-## Description
-Common patterns for implementing user authentication and session management in Wheels applications.
-
-## Key Points
-- Store user ID in session after successful login
-- Use filters to protect controller actions
-- Implement secure password handling
-- Provide login/logout functionality
-- Handle authentication state throughout application
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-// Sessions Controller - handles login/logout
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        filters(through="redirectIfAuthenticated", only="new,create");
-    }
-
-    // Show login form
-    function new() {
-        user = model("User").new();
-    }
-
-    // Process login
-    function create() {
-        user = model("User").findOne(where="email = '#params.email#'");
-
-        if (IsObject(user) && user.authenticate(params.password)) {
-            session.userId = user.id;
-            session.authenticated = true;
-
-            flashInsert(success="Welcome back, #user.firstName#!");
-
-            // Redirect to return URL or dashboard
-            returnUrl = params.returnUrl ?: urlFor(action="dashboard", controller="home");
-            redirectTo(url=returnUrl);
-        } else {
-            flashInsert(error="Invalid email or password");
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    // Process logout
-    function delete() {
-        StructClear(session);
-        flashInsert(success="You have been logged out");
-        redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new");
-    }
-
-    private function redirectIfAuthenticated() {
-        if (isLoggedIn()) {
-            redirectTo(controller="home", action="dashboard");
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-// User Model with authentication
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        validatesPresenceOf("email,password");
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
-
-        beforeSave("hashPassword");
-    }
-
-    // Check if provided password matches stored hash
-    function authenticate(required string password) {
-        return BCrypt.checkpw(arguments.password, this.passwordHash);
-    }
-
-    // Hash password before saving
-    private function hashPassword() {
-        if (hasChanged("password") && Len(this.password)) {
-            this.passwordHash = BCrypt.hashpw(this.password, BCrypt.gensalt());
-            // Clear plain text password
-            this.password = "";
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-// Application Controller - base class with authentication helpers
-component extends="Controller" {
-    // Get current user
-    function currentUser() {
-        if (!StructKeyExists(variables, "currentUser") && isLoggedIn()) {
-            variables.currentUser = model("User").findByKey(session.userId);
-        }
-        return StructKeyExists(variables, "currentUser") ? variables.currentUser : false;
-    }
-
-    // Check if user is logged in
-    function isLoggedIn() {
-        return StructKeyExists(session, "userId") &&
-               StructKeyExists(session, "authenticated") &&
-               session.authenticated;
-    }
-
-    // Authentication filter
-    private function authenticate() {
-        if (!isLoggedIn()) {
-            flashInsert(error="Please login to continue");
-            redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new", returnUrl=cgi.request_url);
-        }
-    }
-
-    // Authorization filter
-    private function requireAdmin() {
-        user = currentUser();
-        if (!IsObject(user) || !user.isAdmin()) {
-            flashInsert(error="Administrator privileges required");
-            redirectTo(controller="home", action="index");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Create sessions controller for login/logout
-2. Store user ID in session after authentication
-3. Use password hashing (BCrypt) for security
-4. Create authentication filters for protected actions
-5. Provide helper methods for current user access
-
-## Related
-- [User Management](../database/validations/presence.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Never store passwords in plain text
-- Use BCrypt or similar for password hashing
-- Clear sessions completely on logout
-- Store minimal data in sessions
-- Handle authentication state consistently

-# CRUD Patterns
-
-## Description
-Standard Create, Read, Update, Delete patterns for managing resources in Wheels applications.
-
-## Key Points
-- Follow RESTful conventions for CRUD operations
-- Use standard HTTP verbs for different actions
-- Implement proper error handling and validation
-- Provide user feedback with flash messages
-- Handle both successful and failed operations
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Parameter verification for actions requiring ID
-        verifies(params="key", paramsTypes="integer", only="show,edit,update,delete");
-
-        // Authentication for protected actions
-        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
-    }
-
-    // READ - List all resources
-    function index() {
-        products = model("Product").findAll(
-            order="name ASC",
-            page=params.page,
-            perPage=20
-        );
-    }
-
-    // READ - Show single resource
-    function show() {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-        if (!IsObject(product)) {
-            flashInsert(error="Product not found");
-            redirectTo(action="index");
-        }
-    }
-
-    // CREATE - Show form for new resource
-    function new() {
-        product = model("Product").new();
-        categories = model("Category").findAll();
-    }
-
-    // CREATE - Process form submission
-    function create() {
-        product = model("Product").new(params.product);
-
-        if (product.save()) {
-            flashInsert(success="Product created successfully!");
-            redirectTo(route="product", key=product.id);
-        } else {
-            categories = model("Category").findAll();
-            flashInsert(error="Please fix the errors below");
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    }
-
-    // UPDATE - Show form for editing resource
-    function edit() {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-        categories = model("Category").findAll();
-
-        if (!IsObject(product)) {
-            flashInsert(error="Product not found");
-            redirectTo(action="index");
-        }
-    }
-
-    // UPDATE - Process form submission
-    function update() {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-        if (!IsObject(product)) {
-            flashInsert(error="Product not found");
-            redirectTo(action="index");
-            return;
-        }
-
-        if (product.update(params.product)) {
-            flashInsert(success="Product updated successfully!");
-            redirectTo(route="product", key=product.id);
-        } else {
-            categories = model("Category").findAll();
-            flashInsert(error="Please fix the errors below");
-            renderView(action="edit");
-        }
-    }
-
-    // DELETE - Remove resource
-    function delete() {
-        product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-        if (!IsObject(product)) {
-            flashInsert(error="Product not found");
-            redirectTo(action="index");
-            return;
-        }
-
-        if (product.delete()) {
-            flashInsert(success="Product deleted successfully!");
-        } else {
-            flashInsert(error="Unable to delete product");
-        }
-
-        redirectTo(action="index");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Use RESTful route conventions (resources)
-2. Verify parameters for actions requiring IDs
-3. Handle not found conditions gracefully
-4. Provide clear success/error messages
-5. Redirect after successful POST operations (PRG pattern)

-
-## Important Notes
-- Always verify object existence before operations
-- Use POST-redirect-GET pattern for form submissions
-- Provide meaningful flash messages for user feedback
-- Handle validation errors by re-rendering forms
-- Consider soft delete for important data

-# Validation Templates
-
-## Description
-Pre-code validation checklists, code review templates, and anti-pattern detection for ensuring Wheels code quality.
-
-## Key Points
-- Mandatory validation checklists for each component type
-- Code review templates that must be completed before implementation
-- Common anti-patterns with examples
-- Post-implementation validation scripts
-
-## Pre-Code Validation Checklists
-
-### Model Validation Checklist
-**Before writing ANY model code, verify:**
-
-✅ **Documentation Loaded:**
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/database/associations/has-many.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/mvc-architecture/models.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/database/validations/presence.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/troubleshooting/common-errors.md`
-
-✅ **Anti-Pattern Check:**
-- [ ] Will NOT mix argument styles: `hasMany("comments", dependent="delete")` ❌
-- [ ] Will use consistent naming: Model names are SINGULAR
-- [ ] Will NOT treat associations as arrays: `ArrayLen(model.association())` ❌
-
-✅ **Implementation Pattern:**
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // ALL NAMED arguments
-        hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
-        belongsTo(name="user");
-
-        // OR ALL POSITIONAL arguments
-        hasMany("comments");
-        belongsTo("user");
-
-        // Validations
-        validatesPresenceOf("title,content");
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="slug");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Controller Validation Checklist
-**Before writing ANY controller code, verify:**
-
-✅ **Documentation Loaded:**
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/controllers/rendering/views.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/controllers/filters/authentication.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/controllers/params/verification.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/troubleshooting/common-errors.md`
-
-✅ **Anti-Pattern Check:**
-- [ ] Will NOT mix argument styles: `renderText("error", status=404)` ❌
-- [ ] Will use correct naming: Controller names are PLURAL
-- [ ] Will NOT treat model results as arrays
-- [ ] Will merge parameters for nested model creation ✅
-
-✅ **Implementation Pattern:**
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Filters
-        filters(through="authenticate");
-        verifies(params="key", paramsTypes="integer");
-    }
-
-    function show() {
-        // ALL NAMED arguments
-        post = model("Post").findByKey(key=params.key, include="comments");
-
-        if (!isObject(post)) {
-            renderText(text="Not found", status=404);
-        }
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        // For nested parameters, merge into structure first
-        commentData = params.comment;
-        commentData.postId = params.postId;
-
-        comment = model("Comment").new(commentData);
-
-        if (comment.save()) {
-            redirectTo(controller="posts", action="show", key=params.postId);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### View Validation Checklist
-**Before writing ANY view code, verify:**
-
-✅ **Documentation Loaded:**
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/views/layouts/structure.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/views/helpers/forms.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/cfml/control-flow/loops.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/troubleshooting/common-errors.md`
-
-✅ **Anti-Pattern Check:**
-- [ ] Will NOT loop queries as arrays: `<cfloop array="#query#">` ❌
-- [ ] Will NOT use `ArrayLen()` on queries: `ArrayLen(post.comments())` ❌
-- [ ] Will NOT call association methods inside loops: `post.comments().author` ❌
-- [ ] Will use null coalescing for new models: `post.title ?: ""` ✅
-- [ ] Will use correct query syntax
-
-✅ **Implementation Pattern:**
-```cfm
-<cfparam name="posts">
-<cfoutput>
-<!-- Count records correctly -->
-<cfif posts.recordCount gt 0>
-    <!-- Loop queries correctly -->
-    <cfloop query="posts">
-        <h2>#posts.title#</h2>
-        <!-- Store association result first -->
-        <cfset comments = posts.comments()>
-        <p>Comments: #comments.recordCount#</p>
-
-        <!-- Loop nested associations correctly -->
-        <cfloop query="comments">

-### Migration Validation Checklist
-**Before writing ANY migration code, verify:**
-
-✅ **Documentation Loaded:**
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/database/migrations/creating-migrations.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/database/migrations/column-types.md`
-- [ ] Read `.ai/wheels/troubleshooting/common-errors.md`
-
-✅ **Anti-Pattern Check:**
-- [ ] Will NOT use complex parameter binding for data seeding
-- [ ] Will use direct SQL for reliability
-- [ ] Will wrap operations in transactions
-
-✅ **Implementation Pattern:**
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            t = createTable(name="posts", force=false);
-            t.string(columnNames="title", allowNull=false);
-            t.text(columnNames="content");
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-
-            // Data seeding with direct SQL
-            execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, content, createdAt, updatedAt)
-                     VALUES ('Sample Post', 'Content here...', NOW(), NOW())");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Code Review Templates
-
-### Model Review Template
-```
-BEFORE COMMITTING MODEL CODE, VERIFY:
-
-□ Argument Consistency Check:
-  - All hasMany/belongsTo calls use same argument style
-  - No mixing of positional and named arguments
-
-□ Association Pattern Check:
-  - Model name is SINGULAR (User.cfc, not Users.cfc)
-  - Table name in database is PLURAL (users, not user)
-  - Association names follow conventions
-
-□ Validation Check:
-  - Required validations present
-  - No Rails-style validation options that don't exist in Wheels
-
-□ File Location Check:
-  - File in /app/models/ directory
-  - Filename matches class name exactly
-```
-
-### Controller Review Template
-```
-BEFORE COMMITTING CONTROLLER CODE, VERIFY:
-
-□ Argument Consistency Check:
-  - All model() calls use consistent argument style
-  - All renderText/renderView calls use consistent argument style
-
-□ Naming Pattern Check:
-  - Controller name is PLURAL (PostsController.cfc)
-  - Actions follow RESTful conventions
-
-□ Query Handling Check:
-  - No ArrayLen() calls on model results
-  - Correct handling of query objects from associations
-
-□ Error Handling Check:
-  - Proper 404 handling for missing records
-  - Consistent error response format
-```
-
-### View Review Template
-```
-BEFORE COMMITTING VIEW CODE, VERIFY:
-
-□ Query Loop Check:
-  - All query loops use <cfloop query="..."> syntax
-  - No <cfloop array="..."> on query objects
-
-□ Record Count Check:
-  - Using .recordCount property, not ArrayLen()
-  - Proper empty state handling
-
-□ Form Helper Check:
-  - Using available Wheels form helpers correctly
-  - No Rails-style helpers that don't exist
-
-□ Output Escaping Check:
-  - Proper HTML escaping in cfoutput blocks
-  - CSRF protection in forms
-```
-
-## Anti-Pattern Detection Rules
-
-### Critical Anti-Patterns (WILL BREAK)
-
-**1. Mixed Arguments (Fatal)**
-```cfm
-❌ BAD:
-hasMany("comments", dependent="delete")
-model("Post").findByKey(params.key, include="comments")
-renderText("Error", status=404)
-
-✅ GOOD:
-hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete")
-model("Post").findByKey(key=params.key, include="comments")
-renderText(text="Error", status=404)
-```
-
-**2. Query as Array (Fatal)**
-```cfm
-❌ BAD:
-ArrayLen(post.comments())
-<cfloop array="#comments#" index="comment">
-for (comment in post.comments()) {
-
-✅ GOOD:
-post.comments().recordCount
-<cfloop query="comments">
-post.comments().each(function(comment) {
-```
-
-**3. Incorrect Naming (Will Cause Issues)**
-```cfm
-❌ BAD:
-Models: Users.cfc, Posts.cfc (should be singular)
-Controllers: UserController.cfc, PostController.cfc (should be plural)
-
-✅ GOOD:
-Models: User.cfc, Post.cfc
-Controllers: UsersController.cfc, PostsController.cfc
-```
-
-### Warning Anti-Patterns (May Break)
-
-**1. Rails-Style Associations**
-```cfm
-❌ AVOID:
-hasMany("comments", className="Comment", foreignKey="post_id")
-
-✅ PREFER:
-hasMany("comments") // Wheels handles conventions
-```
-
-**2. Complex Migration Parameters**
-```cfm
-❌ AVOID:
-execute(sql="INSERT INTO posts (title) VALUES (?)", parameters=[{value=title}])
-
-✅ PREFER:
-execute("INSERT INTO posts (title, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES ('Title', NOW(), NOW())")
-```
-
-## Post-Implementation Validation Scripts
-
-### Manual Validation Checklist
-```bash
-# 1. Syntax Check
-wheels server start --validate
-
-# 2. Test Run
-wheels test run
-
-# 3. Manual Pattern Check
-# Search for anti-patterns in code:
-grep -r "hasMany(" app/models/ # Check for consistent arguments
-grep -r "ArrayLen(" app/views/ # Check for query/array confusion
-grep -r "renderText(" app/controllers/ # Check for consistent arguments
-```
-
-### Validation Commands for CI/CD
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-# Pre-commit validation script
-
-echo "🔍 Checking for Wheels anti-patterns..."

-
-## Integration with Development Workflow
-
-### IDE Integration
-Configure your IDE to show warnings for:
-- Mixed argument patterns
-- ArrayLen() calls in view files
-- Plural model names
-- Query loops using array syntax
-
-### Pre-Commit Hooks
-Add validation script to git pre-commit hook:
-```bash
-#!/bin/sh
-# .git/hooks/pre-commit
-./validate-Wheels-patterns.sh
-```
-
-### Documentation References
-When validation fails, direct developers to:
-- `.ai/wheels/troubleshooting/common-errors.md` for error solutions
-- `.ai/wheels/patterns/` for correct implementation patterns
-- `.ai/wheels/snippets/` for code examples

-
-## Important Notes
-- These validations are MANDATORY, not optional
-- Each component type has specific anti-patterns to avoid
-- Post-implementation validation should be automated where possible
-- New anti-patterns discovered should be added to this document immediately

-# Comprehensive Browser Testing Automation Patterns
-
-## Overview
-
-This document provides systematic browser testing patterns for Wheels applications using the Puppeteer MCP tools. These patterns ensure every user interaction is tested automatically as part of the enhanced `mcp__wheels__develop` workflow.
-
-## Core Testing Principles
-
-1. **Complete Coverage**: Every button, form, link, and interactive element must be tested
-2. **User Flow Validation**: Test complete user journeys, not just individual pages
-3. **Error Scenario Testing**: Test failure cases and edge conditions
-4. **Responsive Testing**: Validate across multiple viewport sizes
-5. **Performance Validation**: Check load times and responsiveness
-6. **Accessibility Testing**: Ensure keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility
-

-## Application Type Testing Patterns
-
-### Blog Application Testing Pattern
-
-#### Phase 1: Navigation Testing
-```javascript
-async function testBlogNavigation() {
-    // Homepage load
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate(url="http://localhost:PORT/");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="01_nav_homepage_load");
-
-    // Main navigation menu
-    const navLinks = [
-        {selector: "a[href='/']", name: "home"},
-        {selector: "a[href='/posts']", name: "posts"},
-        {selector: "a[href='/about']", name: "about"},
-        {selector: "a[href='/contact']", name: "contact"}
-    ];
-
-    for (let i = 0; i < navLinks.length; i++) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector=navLinks[i].selector);
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`01_nav_${navLinks[i].name}_page`);
-
-        // Verify page loaded correctly
-        const pageTitle = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-            script: "document.title"
-        });
-
-        // Check for error indicators
-        const errorCount = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-            script: "document.querySelectorAll('.error, .alert-danger, .exception').length"
-        });
-
-        if (errorCount > 0) {
-            await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`01_nav_${navLinks[i].name}_ERROR`);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-#### Phase 2: Blog CRUD Operations

-```
-
-### Admin/Dashboard Application Testing Pattern
-
-#### Phase 1: Admin Authentication
-```javascript
-async function testAdminAuth() {
-    // Test admin access without authentication

-        script: "window.location.href"
-    });
-
-    if (currentUrl.includes('login') || currentUrl.includes('signin')) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="04_admin_login_redirect");
-    }
-
-    // Test admin login
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_fill(selector="input[name*='username'], input[name*='email'], #username, #email", value="admin@example.com");

-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="04_admin_dashboard");
-}
-```
-
-#### Phase 2: Admin CRUD Operations
-```javascript
-async function testAdminCRUD() {
-    // Test each admin section
-    const adminSections = [
-        {name: "users", url: "/admin/users"},
-        {name: "posts", url: "/admin/posts"},
-        {name: "categories", url: "/admin/categories"},
-        {name: "settings", url: "/admin/settings"}
-    ];
-
-    for (const section of adminSections) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate(url=`http://localhost:PORT${section.url}`);
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`05_admin_${section.name}_index`);

-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Form Testing Patterns
-
-### Standard Form Testing
-```javascript
-async function testFormValidation(formName, formSelector) {
-    // Test empty form submission (should show validation errors)
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector=`${formSelector} input[type='submit']`);
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`06_form_${formName}_validation_empty`);
-
-    // Count validation errors
-    const errorCount = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-        script: "document.querySelectorAll('.error, .field-error, .invalid-feedback').length"
-    });
-
-    if (errorCount === 0) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`06_form_${formName}_validation_ERROR_NO_ERRORS`);
-    }
-
-    // Test partial form submission
-    const firstInput = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-        script: `document.querySelector('${formSelector} input[type=\"text\"], ${formSelector} input[type=\"email\"]')`
-    });
-
-    if (firstInput) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_fill(selector=`${formSelector} input:first-of-type`, value="test");
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector=`${formSelector} input[type='submit']`);
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`06_form_${formName}_validation_partial`);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Contact Form Testing
-```javascript
-async function testContactForm() {
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate(url="http://localhost:PORT/contact");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="06_form_contact_page");
-
-    // Test validation
-    await testFormValidation("contact", "#contact-form, .contact-form");
-
-    // Test complete submission
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_fill(selector="input[name*='name'], #name", value="John Doe");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_fill(selector="input[name*='email'], #email", value="john@example.com");

-
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="input[type='submit'], .btn-send");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="06_form_contact_submitted");
-}
-```
-
-## Interactive Element Testing Patterns
-
-### JavaScript/Alpine.js Testing
-```javascript
-async function testInteractiveElements() {
-    // Test Alpine.js components
-    const alpineElements = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-        script: "document.querySelectorAll('[x-data], [x-show], [x-if]').length"
-    });
-
-    if (alpineElements > 0) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="07_interactive_alpine_initial");
-
-        // Test Alpine.js click events
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="[x-on\\:click], [@click]");
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="07_interactive_alpine_clicked");
-    }
-
-    // Test modals
-    const hasModals = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-        script: "!!document.querySelector('[data-modal], .modal-trigger, .btn-modal')"
-    });
-
-    if (hasModals) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="[data-modal], .modal-trigger, .btn-modal");
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="07_interactive_modal_open");
-
-        // Close modal
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector=".modal-close, .close, [data-dismiss='modal']");
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="07_interactive_modal_closed");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### HTMX Testing
-```javascript
-async function testHTMXElements() {
-    const htmxElements = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-        script: "document.querySelectorAll('[hx-get], [hx-post], [hx-put], [hx-delete]').length"
-    });
-
-    if (htmxElements > 0) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="07_interactive_htmx_initial");
-
-        // Test HTMX requests
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="[hx-get]:first, [hx-post]:first");
-
-        // Wait for HTMX request to complete
-        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
-
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="07_interactive_htmx_updated");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Responsive Design Testing Patterns
-
-### Multi-Viewport Testing
-```javascript
-async function testResponsiveDesign() {
-    const viewports = [
-        {name: "mobile", width: 375, height: 667},
-        {name: "tablet", width: 768, height: 1024},
-        {name: "desktop", width: 1920, height: 1080},
-        {name: "wide", width: 2560, height: 1440}
-    ];
-
-    for (const viewport of viewports) {
-        // Navigate to homepage
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate(url="http://localhost:PORT/");
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(
-            name=`08_responsive_homepage_${viewport.name}`,
-            width=viewport.width,
-            height=viewport.height
-        );
-
-        // Test navigation menu on mobile
-        if (viewport.name === "mobile") {
-            const hasMobileMenu = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-                script: "!!document.querySelector('.menu-toggle, .hamburger, .mobile-menu-button')"
-            });
-
-            if (hasMobileMenu) {
-                await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector=".menu-toggle, .hamburger, .mobile-menu-button");
-                await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(
-                    name=`08_responsive_menu_mobile`,
-                    width=viewport.width,
-                    height=viewport.height
-                );
-            }
-        }
-
-        // Test key pages at this viewport
-        const keyPages = ["/posts", "/about", "/contact"];
-        for (const page of keyPages) {
-            await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate(url=`http://localhost:PORT${page}`);
-            await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(
-                name=`08_responsive${page.replace('/', '_')}_${viewport.name}`,
-                width=viewport.width,
-                height=viewport.height
-            );
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Error Scenario Testing Patterns
-
-### 404 and Error Page Testing
-```javascript
-async function testErrorScenarios() {
-    // Test 404 pages
-    const notFoundUrls = [
-        "/nonexistent",
-        "/posts/99999",
-        "/users/invalid",
-        "/admin/forbidden"
-    ];
-
-    for (const url of notFoundUrls) {
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate(url=`http://localhost:PORT${url}`);
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`09_error_404_${url.replace(/\//g, '_')}`);

-## Performance Testing Patterns
-
-### Load Time Testing
-```javascript
-async function testPagePerformance() {
-    const pages = [
-        {name: "homepage", url: "/"},
-        {name: "posts_index", url: "/posts"},
-        {name: "post_detail", url: "/posts/1"},
-        {name: "contact", url: "/contact"}
-    ];
-
-    for (const page of pages) {
-        const startTime = Date.now();
-
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate(url=`http://localhost:PORT${page.url}`);
-
-        // Wait for page to fully load
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-            script: "document.readyState"
-        });
-
-        const loadTime = Date.now() - startTime;
-
-        await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`10_performance_${page.name}_${loadTime}ms`);
-
-        // Check for performance issues
-        if (loadTime > 3000) { // More than 3 seconds
-            await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name=`10_performance_SLOW_${page.name}_${loadTime}ms`);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Integration Testing Patterns
-
-### Complete User Journey Testing
-```javascript
-async function testCompleteUserJourney() {
-    // Test complete blog interaction journey
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate(url="http://localhost:PORT/");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="11_journey_01_homepage");
-
-    // Browse to posts
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="a:contains('Posts'), a[href='/posts']");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="11_journey_02_posts_list");
-
-    // Read a post
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="article:first-child h2 a");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="11_journey_03_read_post");
-
-    // Navigate to contact
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="a:contains('Contact')");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="11_journey_04_contact_page");
-
-    // Fill and submit contact form
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_fill(selector="input[name*='name']", value="Journey Tester");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_fill(selector="input[name*='email']", value="journey@example.com");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_fill(selector="textarea[name*='message']", value="This is a complete user journey test.");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="input[type='submit']");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="11_journey_05_contact_submitted");
-
-    // Return to homepage
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_click(selector="a:contains('Home'), .logo, a[href='/']");
-    await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="11_journey_06_back_home");

-## Test Result Validation
-
-### Automated Test Result Analysis
-```javascript
-async function validateTestResults() {
-    // Check for error screenshots
-    const errorScreenshots = await mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_evaluate({
-        script: `
-            // This would be implemented to check screenshot directory
-            // for files containing "ERROR" in the name
-            return 0; // Placeholder
-        `
-    });
-
-    if (errorScreenshots > 0) {
-        console.log(`⚠️ Found ${errorScreenshots} error screenshots - manual review required`);
-    }
-
-    // Generate test report
-    const testReport = {
-        navigation: "✅ All navigation links tested",
-        crud: "✅ All CRUD operations tested",
-        forms: "✅ All forms tested",
-        interactive: "✅ All interactive elements tested",
-        responsive: "✅ All viewports tested",
-        errors: "✅ All error scenarios tested",
-        performance: "✅ All pages load within acceptable time",

-    };
-
-    return testReport;
-}

-## Usage Guidelines
-
-### When to Use Each Pattern
-
-1. **Blog Pattern**: Content-focused applications with posts, comments, categories
-2. **E-commerce Pattern**: Shopping applications with products, cart, checkout
-3. **Admin Pattern**: Administrative interfaces with user management
-4. **Custom Pattern**: Combine elements from multiple patterns for unique applications
-
-### Test Customization
-
-1. **Selector Adaptation**: Modify selectors to match your application's HTML structure
-2. **Flow Customization**: Add or remove steps based on your application's features
-3. **Viewport Adjustment**: Modify viewport sizes based on your target devices
-4. **Performance Thresholds**: Adjust load time expectations based on requirements
-
-### Integration with Development Workflow
-
-1. **Run after each component creation**: Test immediately after generating models, controllers, views
-2. **Run before deployment**: Comprehensive testing before production deployment
-3. **Run on schedule**: Regular testing to catch regressions
-4. **Run on demand**: Manual testing for specific features or bug investigation
-
-This comprehensive browser testing framework ensures that every aspect of your Wheels application is thoroughly tested automatically, providing confidence that all user interactions work correctly across all devices and scenarios.

-# Browser Testing (`wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest`)
-
-Native browser testing added in Wheels v4.0 via Playwright Java. Specs extend `wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest` and drive a real Chromium browser through a fluent DSL that mirrors the shape of `wheels.wheelstest.TestClient` (HTTP integration testing): chainable actions return `this`, terminals return values.
-
-## Status: Complete (v4.0)
-
-Shipped across four PRs (#2113, #2115, #2116, and the CI/docs PR). Full DSL, CLI commands, CI integration, and fixture route support.
-
-## Installation
-
-```bash
-wheels browser:install              # recommended (LuCLI or CommandBox)
-bash tools/install-playwright.sh    # legacy fallback (deprecated)
-```
-
-Idempotent. Downloads seven JARs totalling ~192 MB (client + driver + driver-bundle + gson + Java-WebSocket + slf4j-api + slf4j-simple) from Maven Central, SHA-verifies each, then runs `playwright install chromium` which drops ~170 MB of Chromium under `~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/` (macOS) or `~/.cache/ms-playwright/` (Linux). Re-running is a no-op once the SHAs match.
-
-## CLI Commands
-
-```bash
-wheels browser:install              # download JARs + browser binaries
-wheels browser:install --force      # re-download even if SHAs match
-wheels browser:install --browser=firefox
-
-wheels browser:test                 # run browser test suite
-wheels browser:test --verbose       # show full spec names
-wheels browser:test --format=json   # JSON output for CI
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-Three CFCs under `vendor/wheels/wheelstest/`:
-
-1. **`BrowserLauncher.cfc`** — process-level owner of the Playwright instance. Reads `vendor/wheels/browser-manifest.json`, walks the `classpath[]` array to compute JAR paths, loads them into a `URLClassLoader` with `PlatformClassLoader` as parent (critical — see Gotchas below), acquires one `Browser` per engine, caches it. State machine: `uninitialized → ready → shut-down`.
-2. **`BrowserClient.cfc`** — the DSL. Takes a `Page`, a `BrowserContext`, and a base URL; wraps Playwright's locator/page APIs with the ~40 chainable methods enumerated below.
-3. **`BrowserTest.cfc`** — WheelsTest BDD base class. `beforeAll` lazy-initializes an application-scoped launcher so all spec CFCs in a test run share one Chromium startup (~1.7 s). Provides `browserDescribe(title, body)` which wraps `describe()` with per-`it` beforeEach/afterEach that create a fresh `BrowserContext` and inject it as `this.browser`.
-
-## Spec structure
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
-
-    this.browserEngine = "chromium";   // chromium is the only engine in PR 1
-
-    function run() {
-        // browserDescribe === describe + per-it browser lifecycle.
-        // Mix with plain describe() blocks for non-browser tests.
-        browserDescribe("My feature", () => {
-
-            it("renders the welcome page", () => {
-                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;  // see "CI / skip logic"
-                this.browser
-                    .visitUrl("data:text/html,<h1>Hello</h1>")
-                    .assertSee("Hello");
-            });
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Why `browserDescribe` instead of `beforeEach` on the class
-
-WheelsTest BDD treats `beforeAll`/`afterAll` as class-level lifecycle hooks but `beforeEach`/`afterEach` as *registration* functions that must be called from inside a `describe` body. So the natural "add a method named `beforeEach` to the parent class and let inheritance do its thing" pattern doesn't work. `browserDescribe` sidesteps this by calling `describe(...)` internally and registering the hooks from within the suite body.
-
-## CI / skip logic
-
-`beforeAll` calls `$ensureLauncher()`, which throws `Wheels.BrowserNotInstalled` when any classpath JAR is missing. `BrowserTest` catches that and sets `this.browserTestSkipped = true`; `browserDescribe`'s hooks then short-circuit. Every `it` should start with:
-
-```cfm
-if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
-```
-
-**CI behavior:** The `pr.yml` and `snapshot.yml` workflows install Playwright JARs + Chromium via a cached step (keyed on `browser-manifest.json` hash). When the cache is warm, restore takes ~10s. When cold, downloads ~370MB of JARs + Chromium (~2-3 min). The `WHEELS_BROWSER_TEST_BASE_URL` env var is set to `http://localhost:60007` so browser specs can make HTTP requests to the running Lucee server.
-
-Browser specs are **skipped by default in CI** because the fixture server (routes loaded into `application.wo`, dialog proxy via `createDynamicProxy`) is not yet reliable under LuCLI Express. Set `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE=true` in the job env once the fixture infrastructure is verified. The install step stays in place so enabling is a one-line change. See `BrowserTest.$isCiSkipEnabled()` for the exact check.
-
-**Local behavior:** If you haven't run `wheels browser:install`, browser specs skip silently. Run `wheels browser:install` once to enable them locally.
-
-## Implemented DSL methods
-
-### Navigation
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .visit("/login")                  // baseUrl + path; requires leading slash
-    .visitUrl("data:text/html,<h1/>") // absolute URL; any scheme
-    .visitRoute("user", {key: 42})    // uses Wheels urlFor() via application.wo
-    .back()
-    .forward()
-    .refresh();
-
-this.browser.currentUrl();  // terminal → string
-```
-
-### Interaction
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .click("##signin-button")            // CSS selector
-    .press("Sign in")                    // visible text (getByText().first())
-    .fill("##email", "alice@example.com")
-    .type("##search", "wheels")          // char-by-char (triggers autocomplete handlers)
-    .clear("##email")
-    .select("##country", "US")
-    .check("##terms")
-    .uncheck("##newsletter")
-    .attach("##upload", "/path/to/file.txt")
-    .dragAndDrop("##source", "##target");
-```
-
-`press()` matches by visible text (Playwright `getByText(...).first()`). If you need role-specific matching (e.g., button-only, ignoring same-text headings), use `click("button:has-text('Save')")` instead.
-
-### Keyboard
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .keys("##email", "Control+A")       // any key combination
-    .pressEnter("##password")            // shorthand; selector optional
-    .pressTab()                          // no selector → sends to focused element
-    .pressEscape();
-```
-
-### Waiting
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .waitFor("##late-loaded-element")   // waits up to Playwright's default (30s)
-    .waitFor("##late-element", 5)       // custom timeout in seconds
-    .waitForText("Loading complete")
-    .waitForUrl("**/dashboard", 5);     // glob pattern + timeout
-```
-
-### Scoping
-
-```cfm
-// Same `#email` selector in two different forms — within() disambiguates.
-this.browser.within("form##signin", (scoped) => {
-    scoped.fill("##email", "alice@example.com")
-          .fill("##password", "secret")
-          .click("button[type=submit]");
-});
-```
-
-Inside the callback, `scoped` is a BrowserClient whose selectors resolve relative to the `form#signin` subtree.
-
-### Viewport
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .resize(1024, 768)
-    .resizeToMobile()      // 375 x 667
-    .resizeToTablet()      // 768 x 1024
-    .resizeToDesktop();    // 1440 x 900
-```
-
-### Script + Pause
-
-```cfm
-var title = this.browser.script("() => document.title");
-var count = this.browser.script("() => document.querySelectorAll('li').length");
-this.browser.pause(500);  // prints a warning; use waitFor instead for sync
-```
-
-### Assertions
-
-All throw `Wheels.BrowserAssertionFailed` on mismatch and return `this` on success.
-
-**Text / visibility / presence:**
-- `assertSee(text)` / `assertDontSee(text)` — page-wide substring (case-insensitive)
-- `assertSeeIn(selector, text)` — scoped substring
-- `assertVisible(selector)` — rendered + not `display:none`
-- `assertMissing(selector)` / `assertPresent(selector)` / `assertNotPresent(selector)` — DOM count checks
-
-**URL / title / query:**
-- `assertUrlIs(expected)` — path-only compare when arg starts with `/`, otherwise full URL
-- `assertUrlContains(substring)` — substring check (more forgiving for dynamic URLs)
-- `assertTitleContains(text)` — case-insensitive
-- `assertQueryStringHas(key [, value])` / `assertQueryStringMissing(key)`
-- `assertRouteIs(name [, params])` — matches current URL against Wheels `urlFor()` output
-
-**Form:**
-- `assertInputValue(selector, value)`
-- `assertChecked(selector)`
-- `assertHasClass(selector, class)` — space-separated list match
-
-### Terminals
-
-```cfm
-this.browser.currentUrl();           // string
-this.browser.title();                // <title> content
-this.browser.pageSource();           // full HTML
-this.browser.text("h1");             // textContent of first match
-this.browser.value("##email");       // input/textarea/select value
-this.browser.screenshot("/tmp/x.png"); // writes PNG; returns this for chaining
-```
-
-### Cookies
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .setCookie(name="session", value="abc123", url="http://localhost:8080")
-    .deleteCookie("session");
-
-var c = this.browser.cookie("session");  // returns struct {name, value, domain, ...}
-```
-
-Cookies require a real HTTP origin — `data:` URLs are opaque origins.
-
-### Auth
-
-```cfm
-// loginAs sends POST to /_browser/login-as with the given identifier
-this.browser.loginAs("admin");        // sets session via fixture route
-this.browser.logout();                // sends POST to /_browser/logout
-```
-
-Requires fixture routes mounted in `config/routes.cfm` (added automatically by the framework in test mode). The `/_browser/login-as` route accepts a `POST` with `identifier` param and sets `session.currentUser`. The `/_browser/logout` route clears the session.
-
-### Dialogs (Lucee-only)
-
-```cfm
-// Must be called BEFORE the action that triggers the dialog
-this.browser.acceptDialog();                  // accept next alert/confirm/prompt
-this.browser.acceptDialog("prompt answer");   // accept with text for prompt
-this.browser.dismissDialog();                 // dismiss/cancel next dialog
-
-// Read the dialog message (call after dialog was handled)
-var msg = this.browser.dialogMessage();       // terminal → string
-```
-
-Dialog handling uses `createDynamicProxy` to implement Playwright's `Consumer<Dialog>` Java interface. This is a Lucee-only feature — on other engines, dialog methods throw `Wheels.BrowserDialogNotSupported` and specs should be skipped with an engine check.
-
-### Configurable Timeouts
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .waitFor("##late-element", 5)      // 5-second timeout (default: 30)
-    .waitForText("Loaded", 10)
-    .waitForUrl("**/dashboard", 5);
-```
-
-### Screenshot Options
-
-```cfm
-this.browser.screenshot("/tmp/page.png");                           // basic
-this.browser.screenshot(path="/tmp/full.png", fullPage=true);       // full page
-this.browser.screenshot(path="/tmp/q.png", quality=80);             // JPEG quality
-```
-
-### Viewport Config (BrowserTest Level)
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
-    this.browserViewport = "mobile";           // preset: mobile/tablet/desktop
-    // or: this.browserViewport = {width: 1024, height: 768};
-}
-```
-
-Presets: `"mobile"` (375x667), `"tablet"` (768x1024), `"desktop"` (1440x900).
-
-### Auto-Screenshot on Failure
-
-When a browser test fails, a screenshot and HTML dump are automatically saved to `tests/_output/browser/`. Disable per-spec:
-
-```cfm
-this.browserScreenshotOnFailure = false;
-```
-
-Configure artifact directory:
-```cfm
-this.browserArtifactPath = expandPath("/custom/path");
-```
-
-## Gotchas (keep these in working memory when writing browser specs)
-
-### `##` in CFML strings
-
-CFML treats `#` as an expression delimiter inside double-quoted strings. To emit a literal `#` (for CSS ID selectors), escape as `##`. So `"##email"` compiles to the runtime string `"#email"`.
-
-### `client` is a reserved Lucee scope
-
-Declaring `var client = ...` inside a closure throws "client scope is not enabled". Use `var c`, `var bc`, or `variables.bc` instead. Same goes for `session`, `application`, `request`, `form`, `url`, `arguments`, `local`, `variables`, `this` — avoid as local variable names.
-
-### Data URLs for most tests
-
-Many DSL methods can be tested against inline `data:text/html,...` URLs without any server running. This is the pattern used throughout `BrowserIntegrationSpec.cfc`. Data URLs can carry query strings (`data:text/html,<h1/>?foo=bar`) and fragments, but **cannot set HTTP cookies or localStorage** — Chromium treats them as opaque origins. For anything involving cookies or server-driven redirects, you need a real fixture server running at `baseUrl`.
-
-### URLClassLoader + Playwright's inner-class options
-
-`createObject("java", "com.microsoft.playwright.Locator$WaitForOptions")` fails under Lucee when the class lives inside a URLClassLoader — Lucee's class-resolver tries to treat the loader as an OSGi bundle and can't. Workaround (not yet implemented as a DSL helper; apply by hand if you need a specific option):
-
-```cfm
-var cl = variables.$browser.getClass().getClassLoader();
-var klass = cl.loadClass("com.microsoft.playwright.Locator$WaitForOptions");
-var opts = klass.getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance();
-opts.setTimeout(javaCast("double", 5000));
-```
-
-A `$buildOption(className, ...)` helper on `BrowserLauncher` is planned — when it lands, configurable-timeout `waitFor`, `waitForUrl`, full screenshot options, and cookie manipulation all unblock.
-
-### `PlatformClassLoader` as parent
-
-If you're building another URLClassLoader-backed Java library on top of the manifest install, parent it to `ClassLoader.getPlatformClassLoader()` rather than `getSystemClassLoader()` / TCCL. AppClassLoader-as-parent causes cross-JAR superclass resolution to fail at `defineClass` time with `NoClassDefFoundError` — even when the superclass IS on the URLClassLoader's own URLs. This was the most painful trap in the Task 4 implementation.
-
-### Thread context classloader during Playwright calls
-
-Playwright's `DriverJar.getDriverResourceURI()` uses `Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()` to locate the bundled Node runtime inside `driver-bundle.jar`. Default TCCL is the AppClassLoader, which doesn't see our JARs — so the lookup returns null and `Playwright.create()` fails with an NPE that Lucee swallows silently (looks like a hang — it's not). `BrowserLauncher.acquireBrowser()` swaps TCCL to our URLClassLoader for the duration of the Playwright call chain. If you call Playwright methods outside the DSL (directly via `this.browser.getPage()`), you may need `$pushTCCL()` / `$popTCCL()` manually.
-
-### `createDynamicProxy` requires a CFC instance on Lucee 7
-
-Dialog handling implements Playwright's `Consumer<Dialog>` Java interface via `createDynamicProxy`. Two constraints:
-
-1. **Engine support**: Lucee only. Adobe CF and BoxLang don't support `createDynamicProxy`. `BrowserClient.$requireDialogSupport()` probes the engine on first use and throws `Wheels.BrowserDialogNotSupported` on unsupported engines; specs can check `server.lucee` or rely on that probe.
-
-2. **Lucee 7 tightened the first-argument type**: Lucee 6 accepted a struct of handler functions; Lucee 7 requires a Component instance. Passing a struct fails with the misleading error `"Can't cast Complex Object Type Struct to String"` as Lucee 7 tries the CFC-path-string overload. Fix: wrap the handler logic in a CFC with an `init()` that captures shared state via variables. See [`vendor/wheels/wheelstest/DialogConsumer.cfc`](../../../vendor/wheels/wheelstest/DialogConsumer.cfc) for the canonical pattern. Both the probe and the real call now pass a CFC instance so compatibility is verified on the same code path. See also the cross-engine-compatibility doc's entry on this.
-
-### Fixture routes: two places, both required
-
-The `/_browser/*` fixture routes (home, login, login-as, dashboard, authenticate, logout) must be registered in BOTH:
-
-- **`config/routes.cfm`** — for app-level tests (`/wheels/app/tests`) and any time the app is run in a dev/test environment without the core test runner. Must come before `.wildcard()` or the wildcard catches them first.
-- **`vendor/wheels/tests/routes.cfm`** — for core tests (`/wheels/core/tests`). The core test runner swaps the route table when `$_setTestboxEnv()` runs, so app-level route declarations are not visible. Without this, `BrowserRouteSpec` throws `"Could not find the browserTestHome route"`.
-
-The fixture **controllers + views** likewise live in two places:
-- `app/controllers/BrowserTestHome.cfc` + `app/views/browsertesthome/*.cfm` for app tests.
-- `vendor/wheels/tests/_assets/controllers/BrowserTestHome.cfc` + `vendor/wheels/tests/_assets/views/browsertesthome/*.cfm` for core tests (the test runner sets `controllerPath` / `viewPath` to the `_assets` tree).
-
-Both sets must be kept in sync when the fixture surface changes.
-
-### Sibling specs wipe routes without restoring
-
-Several specs (`mapperSpec`, `security/PaginationXssSpec`, `view/linksSpec`, `view/formsSpec`) legitimately call `$clearRoutes()` in their `beforeEach` / `beforeAll` to test route-registration behavior. They do **not** restore the route table afterwards. Because bundles run alphabetically, any spec that depends on named routes and runs after these will find an empty `application.wheels.namedRoutePositions`.
-
-Defensive fix for route-dependent specs: re-include `/wheels/tests/routes.cfm` and call `$setNamedRoutePositions()` in your own `beforeAll`. `BrowserTest.beforeAll` already does this — new route-dependent specs should follow the same pattern.
-
-### Fat arrow closures in WheelsTest suites
-
-CFML fat arrow syntax (`() => { ... }`) works in most contexts, but closure semantics can differ from `function() { ... }` in edge cases related to `this` binding and component scope. In browser test specs, fat arrows work well for `describe`/`it` callbacks because `this` refers to the spec CFC instance. If you encounter scope issues, switch to explicit `function()` syntax.

-# Unit & Integration Testing in Wheels
-
-## Two Test Frameworks
-
-Wheels has two test frameworks. **All new tests must use WheelsTest.**
-
-| | WheelsTest (current) | RocketUnit (legacy) |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Syntax** | `describe`/`it`/`expect` (BDD) | `test_methodName()` + `assert()` |
-| **Base class** | `wheels.WheelsTest` | `wheels.Test` |
-| **Location** | `vendor/wheels/tests/specs/` | `vendor/wheels/rocketunit_tests/` |
-| **Runner URL** | `/wheels/app/tests` | `/wheels/tests/core` |
-| **Status** | Active, all new tests | Legacy, backwards-compat only |
-
-## WheelsTest Test Structure
-
-### File Layout
-
-```
-tests/
-  _assets/
-    models/         <- Test-only model CFCs (not app models)
-      Model.cfc     <- Base model (extends wheels.Model)
-      Author.cfc    <- Test model with table() override
-      Post.cfc
-  specs/
-    models/          <- Model specs
-      BatchProcessingSpec.cfc
-      QueryBuilderSpec.cfc
-    controllers/     <- Controller specs
-    functional/      <- End-to-end specs
-  populate.cfm       <- Creates/seeds test tables (runs before every test suite)
-  runner.cfm         <- WheelsTest runner (web entry point)
-```
-
-### Writing a Spec
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-    function run() {
-        describe("Feature Name", () => {
-
-            it("does something specific", () => {
-                var result = model("author").findAll();
-                expect(result.recordcount).toBeGT(0);
-            });
-
-            it("returns a model object", () => {
-                var obj = model("author").findOne(order="id");
-                expect(IsObject(obj)).toBeTrue();
-                expect(obj.firstName).toBe("Per");
-            });
-
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Key Points
-
-- **Extend `wheels.WheelsTest`** — this injects all `application.wo` methods (like `model()`) into the test scope automatically.
-- **Use `function run()`** — WheelsTest calls this to discover specs. Not `init()`, not `config()`.
-- **Arrow functions work** — `() => {}` is fine for `describe`/`it`/`beforeEach`.
-
-## Test Models
-
-Test models live in `tests/_assets/models/` and extend the local `Model.cfc` (which extends `wheels.Model`). They use `table()` to map to test tables created by `populate.cfm`.
-
-```cfm
-// tests/_assets/models/Author.cfc
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        table("c_o_r_e_authors");
-        hasMany("posts");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-The test environment sets `modelPath` to `tests/_assets/models/` so `model("author")` resolves to your test model, not an app model.
-
-## Test Data (populate.cfm)
-
-`tests/populate.cfm` runs before every test suite invocation. It creates tables and seeds data.
-
-**Always use DROP + CREATE, never IF NOT EXISTS:**
-
-```cfm
-<!--- DROP first — IF NOT EXISTS misses schema changes --->
-<cftry>
-    <cfquery datasource="#application.wheels.dataSourceName#">
-        DROP TABLE IF EXISTS c_o_r_e_posts
-    </cfquery>
-    <cfcatch></cfcatch>
-</cftry>
-
-<!--- Then CREATE --->
-<cfquery datasource="#application.wheels.dataSourceName#">
-CREATE TABLE c_o_r_e_posts (
-    id #local.identityColumnType#,
-    title varchar(250) NOT NULL,
-    ...
-    PRIMARY KEY(id)
-) #local.storageEngine#
-</cfquery>
-```
-
-**Why not IF NOT EXISTS?** If you add a column (like `status`) to a table that already exists from a previous test run, IF NOT EXISTS skips the CREATE and the column is missing. DROP + CREATE guarantees a clean schema every time.
-
-## Running Tests
-
-### Via URL (most reliable)
-
-```
-# All specs in a directory
-/wheels/app/tests?format=json&directory=tests.specs.models
-
-# Single spec bundle
-/wheels/app/tests?format=json&bundles=tests.specs.models.BatchProcessingSpec
-
-# HTML output (for browser)
-/wheels/app/tests?format=html&directory=tests.specs.models
-
-# Force model cache reload (needed after adding new model CFCs)
-/wheels/app/tests?format=json&directory=tests.specs.models&reload=true
-```
-
-### Via curl + node (for CLI parsing)
-
-```bash
-curl -sL "http://localhost:60006/wheels/app/tests?format=json&directory=tests.specs.models&reload=true" \
-  > /tmp/testbox_results.json && node -e "
-const j = JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('/tmp/testbox_results.json', 'utf8'));
-console.log('Passed:', j.totalPass, '| Failed:', j.totalFail, '| Errors:', j.totalError);
-for (const b of j.bundleStats) {
-  console.log('\n' + b.name + ' (' + b.totalPass + '/' + b.totalSpecs + ')');
-  function printSuite(s, indent) {
-    for (const sp of (s.specStats || [])) {
-      if (sp.status !== 'Passed') console.log(indent + '[FAIL] ' + sp.name + ': ' + sp.failMessage);
-    }
-    for (const ns of (s.suiteStats || [])) printSuite(ns, indent + '  ');
-  }
-  for (const s of b.suiteStats) printSuite(s, '  ');
-}
-"
-```
-
-**Why node instead of jq?** The WheelsTest JSON response contains unquoted `true`/`false` booleans that break strict JSON parsers. Node's `JSON.parse` handles them.
-
-## Common Gotchas
-
-### 1. CFML Closure Scoping
-
-Closures in CFML have their own `local` scope. You **cannot** read/write outer `local` variables from inside a closure.
-
-```cfm
-// WRONG — `local.count` inside the closure is a DIFFERENT variable
-var count = 0;
-model("author").findEach(callback = function(author) {
-    count++; // This modifies the closure's local.count, not the outer one
-});
-expect(count).toBe(10); // FAILS — count is still 0
-
-// RIGHT — use a shared struct (structs are passed by reference)
-var result = {count: 0};
-model("author").findEach(callback = function(author) {
-    result.count++; // Modifies the shared struct
-});
-expect(result.count).toBe(10); // PASSES
-```
-
-### 2. Model Cache After Adding New CFCs
-
-After adding a new model CFC to `tests/_assets/models/`, the first test run may fail with errors like `table 'authorscopeds' not found` — Wheels is using default table name conventions because it hasn't loaded your `config()` yet.
-
-**Fix:** Add `&reload=true` to the test runner URL to clear the model cache.
-
-### 3. Table Naming in Test Models
-
-Always call `table()` in your test model's `config()` to map to the test table name. Without it, Wheels pluralizes the model name (e.g., `AuthorScoped` -> `authorscopeds`).
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        table("c_o_r_e_authors"); // Explicit table name
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Drop Order for Foreign Keys
-
-Drop child tables before parent tables in `populate.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-DROP TABLE IF EXISTS c_o_r_e_posts   <!--- child (has authorid FK) --->
-DROP TABLE IF EXISTS c_o_r_e_authors <!--- parent --->
-```
-
-### 5. Pre-existing Test Failures
-
-The `vendor/wheels/rocketunit_tests/` legacy RocketUnit suite has some pre-existing failures (e.g., in `model.errors`). Don't chase these — they're known issues in the legacy suite. The RocketUnit test files have been removed; only infrastructure (Test.cfc, populate.cfm, _assets/) remains for backwards compatibility. Focus on making your WheelsTest specs green.

-# View Architecture and Structure
-
-## Overview
-
-Views in Wheels are template files that generate the HTML (or other content) that users see in their browsers. They follow the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern where the controller sets up data and the view handles presentation. Views are written in CFML and can include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and any other content type.
-
-## File Structure and Conventions
-
-### View File Location
-
-- All view files are stored in `/app/views/`
-- Each controller gets its own subfolder: `/app/views/[controller-name]/`
-- View files use `.cfm` extension (not `.cfc`)
-- Standard action views are named after the action: `/app/views/users/show.cfm`
-
-### Naming Conventions
-
-- **Actions**: Named after controller actions (`index.cfm`, `show.cfm`, `new.cfm`, `edit.cfm`)
-- **Partials**: Start with underscore (`_form.cfm`, `_user.cfm`, `_navigation.cfm`)
-- **Layouts**: Named `layout.cfm` (controller-specific) or placed in `/app/views/layout.cfm` (global)
-- **Shared views**: Place in `/app/views/shared/` for cross-controller use
-
-### File Structure Example
-
-```
-/app/views/
-├── layout.cfm                 (global layout)
-├── helpers.cfm               (global view helpers)
-├── users/
-│   ├── layout.cfm            (users controller layout)
-│   ├── index.cfm             (users#index action)
-│   ├── show.cfm              (users#show action)
-│   ├── new.cfm               (users#new action)
-│   ├── edit.cfm              (users#edit action)
-│   └── _form.cfm             (partial for user form)
-├── shared/
-│   ├── _navigation.cfm       (shared navigation partial)
-│   └── _footer.cfm           (shared footer partial)
-└── emails/
-    └── usermailer/
-        └── welcome.cfm       (email template)
-```
-
-## Basic View Structure
-
-### Simple View Example
-
-```cfm
-<!--- /app/views/users/show.cfm --->
-<cfparam name="user">
-<cfoutput>
-<h1>User Profile</h1>
-<div class="user-details">
-    <h2>#EncodeForHtml(user.name)#</h2>
-    <p>Email: #EncodeForHtml(user.email)#</p>
-    <p>Created: #DateFormat(user.createdAt, "mmmm dd, yyyy")#</p>
-</div>
-
-<div class="actions">
-    #linkTo(text="Edit User", route="editUser", key=user.id)#
-    #linkTo(text="All Users", route="users")#
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Basic HTML Structure
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Always wrap output in cfoutput tags --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <!-- Your HTML content here -->
-    <h1>#pageTitle#</h1>
-    <p>#user.description#</p>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Content Types and Format-Specific Views
-
-### Multiple Format Support
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Controller provides formats --->
-function config() {
-    provides("html,json,xml");
-}
-
-<!--- Default view: show.cfm --->
-<cfoutput>
-<h1>User: #user.name#</h1>
-<p>Email: #user.email#</p>
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- JSON view: show.json.cfm --->
-<cfoutput>
-#renderWith(user)#
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- XML view: show.xml.cfm --->
-<cfoutput>
-#renderWith(user, xml=true)#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Always Use cfoutput
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Correct --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <h1>#user.name#</h1>
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- Incorrect --->
-<h1><cfoutput>#user.name#</cfoutput></h1>
-```
-
-### 2. Encode User Data
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Always encode user-generated content --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <h1>#EncodeForHtml(user.name)#</h1>
-    <p>#EncodeForHtml(user.bio)#</p>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### 3. Use Partials for Reusability
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Extract repeated code into partials --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <cfloop query="users">
-        #includePartial(partial="userCard", user=users)#
-    </cfloop>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### 4. Organize Views Logically
-
-- Group related partials in controller folders
-- Use `/shared/` for cross-controller partials
-- Name partials descriptively (`_userCard.cfm`, not `_card.cfm`)
-
-### 5. Use Wheels Helpers
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Prefer Wheels helpers over raw HTML --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <!--- Good --->
-    #linkTo(text="Edit", route="editUser", key=user.id)#
-
-    <!--- Avoid when possible --->
-    <a href="/users/#user.id#/edit">Edit</a>
-</cfoutput>
-```

-# View Best Practices
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL: Pre-View Implementation Checklist
-
-### 🛑 MANDATORY DOCUMENTATION READING (COMPLETE BEFORE ANY CODE)
-
-**YOU MUST READ THESE FILES IN ORDER:**
-
-✅ **Step 1: Error Prevention (ALWAYS FIRST)**
-- [ ] `.ai/wheels/troubleshooting/common-errors.md` - PREVENT FATAL ERRORS
-- [ ] `.ai/wheels/patterns/validation-templates.md` - VIEW CHECKLIST
-
-✅ **Step 2: View-Specific Documentation**
-- [ ] `.ai/wheels/views/data-handling.md` - CRITICAL query vs array patterns
-- [ ] `.ai/wheels/views/architecture.md` - View structure and conventions
-- [ ] `.ai/wheels/views/forms.md` - Form helper limitations and patterns
-
-### 🔴 CRITICAL ANTI-PATTERN CHECK (MUST VERIFY BEFORE WRITING)
-
-**Before writing ANY view code, verify you will NOT:**
-- [ ] ❌ Use ArrayLen() on queries: `ArrayLen(posts)` or `ArrayLen(post.comments())`
-- [ ] ❌ Loop queries as arrays: `<cfloop array="#posts#" index="post">`
-- [ ] ❌ Treat model results as arrays in any context
-- [ ] ❌ Mix loop types (array syntax on queries)
-- [ ] ❌ Add HTML to view helper text without `encode=false`: `linkTo(text="<span>Blog</span>")`
-- [ ] ❌ Use buttonTo() for DELETE without method parameter: `buttonTo(action="delete", key=id)`
-
-**And you WILL:**
-- [ ] ✅ Use .recordCount for query counts: `posts.recordCount`
-- [ ] ✅ Use query loops: `<cfloop query="posts">`
-- [ ] ✅ Understand associations return QUERIES
-- [ ] ✅ Check data types before processing
-- [ ] ✅ Use method parameter for buttonTo() HTTP verbs: `buttonTo(action="delete", method="delete", key=id)`
-- [ ] ✅ Use `encode=false` for HTML in helpers: `linkTo(text="<span>Blog</span>", encode=false)`
-
-### 📋 VIEW IMPLEMENTATION TEMPLATE (MANDATORY STARTING POINT)
-
-```cfm
-<cfparam name="posts">
-<cfoutput>
-
-<!-- Check record count correctly -->
-<cfif posts.recordCount gt 0>
-    <!-- Loop query correctly -->
-    <cfloop query="posts">
-        <h2>#posts.title#</h2>
-        <!-- Access associations correctly -->
-        <p>Comments: #posts.comments().recordCount#</p>
-
-        <!-- Loop nested associations correctly -->
-        <cfif posts.comments().recordCount gt 0>
-            <cfloop query="posts.comments()">
-                <div>#posts.comments().content#</div>
-            </cfloop>
-        </cfif>
-    </cfloop>
-<cfelse>
-    <p>No posts found.</p>
-</cfif>
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Core Best Practices
-
-### 1. Always Use cfoutput
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Correct --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <h1>#user.name#</h1>
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- Incorrect --->
-<h1><cfoutput>#user.name#</cfoutput></h1>
-```
-
-### 2. Encode User Data
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Always encode user-generated content --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <h1>#EncodeForHtml(user.name)#</h1>
-    <p>#EncodeForHtml(user.bio)#</p>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### 3. Use Partials for Reusability
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Extract repeated code into partials --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <cfloop query="users">
-        #includePartial(partial="userCard", user=users)#
-    </cfloop>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### 4. Parameter Validation
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Always validate expected variables --->
-<cfparam name="user">
-<cfparam name="showActions" default="true">
-```
-
-### 5. Consistent Error Handling
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Standard error display pattern --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #errorMessagesFor("user")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### 6. Use Wheels Helpers
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Prefer Wheels helpers over raw HTML --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <!--- Good --->
-    #linkTo(text="Edit", route="editUser", key=user.id)#
-
-    <!--- Avoid when possible --->
-    <a href="/users/#user.id#/edit">Edit</a>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-### HTML Encoding
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Always encode user data for HTML output --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <h1>#EncodeForHtml(user.name)#</h1>
-    <p>Bio: #EncodeForHtml(user.bio)#</p>
-
-    <!--- For URLs --->
-    <a href="mailto:#EncodeForUrl(user.email)#">Contact</a>
-
-    <!--- For HTML attributes --->
-    <div title="#EncodeForHtmlAttribute(user.bio)#">User Info</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### CSRF Protection
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Include CSRF tokens in forms --->
-<cfoutput>
-#startFormTag(route="user", method="put", key=user.id)#
-    <!--- CSRF token automatically included --->
-    #includePartial("form")#
-    #submitTag(value="Update User")#
-#endFormTag()#
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- In layout head --->
-<cfoutput>#csrfMetaTags()#</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Input Sanitization
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Wheels helpers handle encoding automatically --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #linkTo(text=user.name, route="user", key=user.id)# <!--- Automatically encoded --->
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="name")# <!--- Automatically encoded --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Performance Best Practices
-
-### Query Optimization
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Store query results to avoid multiple executions --->
-<cfset comments = post.comments()>
-<cfif comments.recordCount gt 0>
-    <h3>Comments (#comments.recordCount#)</h3>
-    <cfloop query="comments">
-        <div class="comment">
-            #comments.content#
-        </div>
-    </cfloop>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-### Caching
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Cache expensive partials --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #includePartial(partial="expensiveReport", cache=60)# <!--- Cache for 60 minutes --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Asset Optimization
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Bundle CSS and JavaScript --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #styleSheetLinkTag("reset.css,typography.css,application.css")#
-    #javaScriptIncludeTag("jquery.js,application.js")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Organization Best Practices
-
-### 7. Organize Views Logically
-
-- Group related partials in controller folders
-- Use `/shared/` for cross-controller partials
-- Name partials descriptively (`_userCard.cfm`, not `_card.cfm`)
-
-### File Structure Best Practices
-
-```
-/app/views/
-├── layout.cfm                 (global layout)
-├── helpers.cfm               (global view helpers)
-├── shared/                   (cross-controller partials)
-│   ├── _navigation.cfm
-│   ├── _footer.cfm
-│   └── _flash_messages.cfm
-├── users/
-│   ├── layout.cfm            (controller-specific layout)
-│   ├── index.cfm
-│   ├── show.cfm
-│   ├── _form.cfm             (form partial)
-│   └── _user_card.cfm        (display partial)
-└── errors/
-    ├── 404.cfm
-    ├── 500.cfm
-    └── forbidden.cfm
-```
-
-### Naming Conventions
-
-- **Views**: Lowercase action names (`index.cfm`, `show.cfm`)
-- **Partials**: Underscore prefix, descriptive names (`_user_card.cfm`)
-- **Layouts**: `layout.cfm` in appropriate directory
-- **Shared**: Use `/shared/` directory for cross-controller components
-
-## Argument Passing Rules
-
-**CRITICAL**: Helper functions require either positional arguments OR named arguments, but CANNOT mix both.
-
-### Correct Usage
-
-```cfm
-<!--- All positional arguments --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #linkTo("Home", "users", "index")#
-    #textField("user", "name")#
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- All named arguments --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #linkTo(text="Home", controller="users", action="index")#
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="name")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Incorrect Usage (Will Cause Errors)
-
-```cfm
-<!--- NEVER mix positional and named arguments --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #linkTo("Home", controller="users", action="index")# <!--- ERROR --->
-    #textField("user", property="name")# <!--- ERROR --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## 🔍 POST-IMPLEMENTATION VALIDATION (REQUIRED BEFORE COMPLETION)
-
-**After writing view code, you MUST run these checks:**
-
-```bash
-# 1. Syntax validation
-wheels server start --validate
-
-# 2. Anti-pattern detection
-grep -r "ArrayLen(" app/views/  # Check for array operations on queries
-grep -r "<cfloop array=" app/views/  # Check for array loops on queries
-```
-
-**Manual checklist verification:**
-- [ ] No ArrayLen() calls anywhere in views
-- [ ] No array loop syntax on query objects
-- [ ] All query counts use .recordCount
-- [ ] All loops use appropriate syntax for data type
-- [ ] Proper HTML escaping in output
-
-## Testing Best Practices
-
-### Test Your Views
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Test partial rendering --->
-component extends="wheels.Test" {
-    function testUserCardPartial() {
-        user = model("User").new(name="John Doe", email="john@example.com");
-        result = includePartial(partial="userCard", user=user);
-
-        assert("Find('John Doe', result) GT 0");
-        assert("Find('john@example.com', result) GT 0");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Test Error Cases
-
-```cfm
-function testEmptyQueryDisplay() {
-    emptyUsers = QueryNew("id,firstname,lastname,email");
-    content = includePartial(partial="userList", users=emptyUsers);
-    assert("Find('No users found', content) GT 0");
-}
-```
-
-## Documentation and Maintenance
-
-### Comment Complex Logic
-
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-<!--- Complex conditional logic should be documented --->
-<cfif user.isAdmin() AND user.hasPermission("users.manage") AND NOT user.isSystemAccount()>
-    <!--- Only non-system admin users with user management permissions can access these controls --->
-    <div class="admin-controls">
-        #includePartial("admin/userControls", user=user)#
-    </div>
-</cfif>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Keep Views Simple
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Good: Simple view logic --->
-<cfoutput>
-<cfif user.isActive()>
-    <span class="status active">Active</span>
-<cfelse>
-    <span class="status inactive">Inactive</span>
-</cfif>
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- Better: Move complex logic to helpers --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #userStatusBadge(user)#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-This comprehensive approach ensures your views are secure, performant, maintainable, and follow Wheels best practices.

-# Data Handling in Views
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL: Wheels Data Types
-
-**Wheels associations and model methods return QUERIES, not ARRAYS. This is the #2 most common view error.**
-
-### ❌ WRONG - Treating Queries as Arrays
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Model associations return queries, NOT arrays --->
-<cfset commentCount = ArrayLen(post.comments())>  <!-- ERROR! -->
-<cfset userCount = ArrayLen(model("User").findAll())>  <!-- ERROR! -->
-
-<!--- Can't loop queries as arrays --->
-<cfloop array="#post.comments()#" index="comment">  <!-- ERROR! -->
-    #comment.content#
-</cfloop>
-```
-
-### ✅ CORRECT - Using Query Methods and Loops
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Use .recordCount for query record counts --->
-<cfset commentCount = post.comments().recordCount>
-<cfset userCount = model("User").findAll().recordCount>
-
-<!--- Loop queries with query="..." --->
-<cfset comments = post.comments()>
-<cfloop query="comments">
-    #comments.content#  <!--- Access fields directly from query --->
-</cfloop>
-
-<!--- Check if query has records --->
-<cfif post.comments().recordCount gt 0>
-    <cfloop query="post.comments()">
-        <p>#post.comments().content#</p>
-    </cfloop>
-<cfelse>
-    <p>No comments found.</p>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-### 📊 Query vs Array Reference
-
-| **Data Type** | **Count Method** | **Loop Method** | **Check if Empty** |
-|---------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------------|
-| **Query** | `.recordCount` | `<cfloop query="...">` | `query.recordCount gt 0` |
-| **Array** | `ArrayLen()` | `<cfloop array="...">` | `ArrayLen(array) gt 0` |
-
-### Common View Patterns - CORRECT Examples
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Association counts --->
-<cfset postCount = user.posts().recordCount>
-<cfset commentCount = post.comments().recordCount>
-
-<!--- Association loops --->
-<cfloop query="user.posts()">
-    <h3>#user.posts().title#</h3>
-</cfloop>
-
-<!--- Model finder results --->
-<cfset users = model("User").findAll()>
-<cfif users.recordCount gt 0>
-    <cfloop query="users">
-        <p>#users.name# - #users.email#</p>
-    </cfloop>
-</cfif>
-
-<!--- Conditional display based on associations --->
-<cfif post.comments().recordCount gt 0>
-    <h3>Comments (#post.comments().recordCount#)</h3>
-    <cfloop query="post.comments()">
-        <div class="comment">
-            <strong>#post.comments().author#:</strong>
-            #post.comments().content#
-        </div>
-    </cfloop>
-<cfelse>
-    <p>No comments yet.</p>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-**⚡ MEMORY RULE**: In Wheels views, if it comes from a model (associations, finders), it's a QUERY. Use `.recordCount` and `<cfloop query="...">`.
-
-## Variable Scoping
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Variables set in controller are available unscoped --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <h1>#pageTitle#</h1>  <!--- Set as variables.pageTitle in controller --->
-    <p>User: #user.name#</p>  <!--- Set as variables.user in controller --->
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- Access params struct (though controller should handle this) --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <p>Current page: #params.page#</p>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Data Validation and Security
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Always encode user data for HTML output --->
-<cfoutput>
-    <h1>#EncodeForHtml(user.name)#</h1>
-    <p>Bio: #EncodeForHtml(user.bio)#</p>
-
-    <!--- For URLs --->
-    <a href="mailto:#EncodeForUrl(user.email)#">Contact</a>
-
-    <!--- For HTML attributes --->
-    <div title="#EncodeForHtmlAttribute(user.bio)#">User Info</div>
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- Wheels helpers handle encoding automatically --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #linkTo(text=user.name, route="user", key=user.id)# <!--- Automatically encoded --->
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="name")# <!--- Automatically encoded --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Parameter Validation
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Always validate expected variables --->
-<cfparam name="user">
-<cfparam name="showActions" default="true">
-```

-### CRUD View Structure
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Index view - /app/views/users/index.cfm --->
-<cfparam name="users">
-<cfoutput>
-<h1>Users</h1>
-<p>#linkTo(route="newUser", text="Create New User", class="btn btn-primary")#</p>

-        </tbody>
-    </table>
-<cfelse>
-    <p>No users found.</p>
-</cfif>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Form Partial Pattern
-
-```cfm
-<!--- _form.cfm partial --->
-<cfparam name="user">
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="form-group">
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="name", label="Name:", class="form-control")#
-</div>
-<div class="form-group">
-    #emailField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email:", class="form-control")#
-</div>

-## Form Helpers
-
-### Basic Form Structure
-
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-#startFormTag(route="users", method="post")#
-
-    <!-- Text inputs -->
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="name", label="Full Name:")#
-    #emailField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email Address:")#
-    #passwordField(objectName="user", property="password", label="Password:")#
-    #hiddenField(objectName="user", property="id")#
-
-    <!-- Text areas -->
-    #textArea(objectName="user", property="bio", label="Biography:")#
-
-    <!-- Checkboxes and radios -->
-    #checkBox(objectName="user", property="active", label="Active User")#
-    #radioButton(objectName="user", property="type", tagValue="admin", label="Administrator")#
-    #radioButton(objectName="user", property="type", tagValue="user", label="Regular User")#
-
-    <!-- Select dropdowns -->
-    #select(objectName="user", property="countryId",
-            options=countries, textField="name", valueField="id",
-            label="Country:")#
-
-    <!-- File uploads -->
-    #fileField(objectName="user", property="avatar", label="Profile Picture:")#
-
-    <!-- Submit button -->
-    #submitTag(value="Save User", class="btn btn-primary")#
-
-#endFormTag()#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Form Helper Limitations
-
-**Duplicate Label Prevention:**
-Wheels form helpers automatically generate labels. When using custom HTML labels, you MUST disable automatic labels to prevent duplication.
-
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ INCORRECT - Creates duplicate labels -->
-<div>
-    <label for="post-title">Title</label>
-    #textField(objectName="post", property="title")#  <!-- Also generates a label -->
-</div>
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT - Use label=false with custom labels -->
-<div>
-    <label for="post-title" class="custom-style">Title</label>
-    #textField(objectName="post", property="title", label=false)#
-</div>
-
-<!-- ✅ ALTERNATIVE - Use Wheels' built-in labels -->
-<div>
-    #textField(objectName="post", property="title", label="Title")#
-</div>
-```
-
-**Label Helper Issues:**
-The `label()` helper in Wheels does NOT accept a `text` parameter like in Rails:
-
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ INCORRECT - This will cause errors -->
-#label(objectName="user", property="email", text="Email Address")#
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT - Use standard HTML labels with label=false -->
-<label for="user-email">Email Address</label>
-#textField(objectName="user", property="email", label=false)#
-```
-
-**Email Field Limitation:**
-Wheels does NOT have an `emailField()` helper:
-
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ INCORRECT - emailField() doesn't exist -->
-#emailField(objectName="user", property="email")#
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT - Use textField() for all input types -->
-#textField(objectName="user", property="email")#
-
-<!-- ✅ ALTERNATIVE - Add HTML5 type attribute if needed -->
-#textField(objectName="user", property="email", type="email")#
-```
-
-**Password Field Limitation:**
-Wheels does NOT have a `passwordField()` helper:
-
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ INCORRECT - passwordField() doesn't exist -->
-#passwordField(objectName="user", property="password")#
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT - Use textField() with type attribute -->
-#textField(objectName="user", property="password", type="password")#
-```
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL: HTML Encoding in Form Labels
-
-**When adding HTML content to form labels (icons, styling, etc.), use `encode=false`:**
-
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ WRONG: Shows literal HTML text -->
-#textField(objectName="user", property="email", label="<i class='icon-email'></i> Email Address")#
-<!-- Output label: <i class='icon-email'></i> Email Address -->
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT: Renders HTML in label -->
-#textField(objectName="user", property="email", label="<i class='icon-email'></i> Email Address", encode=false)#
-<!-- Output label: [EMAIL_ICON] Email Address -->
-```
-
-**This applies to ALL form helpers with labels:**
-- `textField()`, `textArea()`, `checkBox()`, `radioButton()`, `select()`, etc.
-
-**See complete documentation:** [View Helpers - HTML Encoding](./helpers.md#🚨-critical-html-encoding-in-view-helpers)
-
-## Recommended Form Helper Pattern
-
-For maximum compatibility and to prevent duplicate labels, use this pattern:
-
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-#startFormTag(route="users", method="post")#
-
-    <!-- Use HTML labels with label=false to prevent duplicates -->
-    <div class="form-group">
-        <label for="user-firstName">First Name *</label>
-        #textField(objectName="user", property="firstName", label=false, class="form-control")#
-        #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="firstName")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div class="form-group">
-        <label for="user-email">Email Address *</label>
-        #textField(objectName="user", property="email", label=false, type="email", class="form-control")#
-        #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="email")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div class="form-group">
-        <label for="user-password">Password *</label>
-        #textField(objectName="user", property="password", label=false, type="password", class="form-control")#
-        #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="password")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div class="form-group">
-        <label for="user-bio">Biography</label>
-        #textArea(objectName="user", property="bio", label=false, class="form-control", rows="5")#
-        #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="bio")#
-    </div>
-
-    #submitTag(value="Save User", class="btn btn-primary")#
-
-#endFormTag()#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Error Handling in Forms
-
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-<!-- Display all errors for an object -->
-#errorMessagesFor("user")#
-
-<!-- Display error for specific property -->
-#errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="email")#
-
-<!-- Custom error styling -->
-<div class="form-group #errorClass(objectName='user', property='name')#">
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="name", label="Name:")#
-    #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="name")#
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Argument Passing Rules
-
-**CRITICAL**: Helper functions require either positional arguments OR named arguments, but CANNOT mix both.
-
-### Correct Usage
-
-```cfm
-<!--- All positional arguments --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #linkTo("Home", "users", "index")#
-    #textField("user", "name")#
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- All named arguments --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #linkTo(text="Home", controller="users", action="index")#
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="name")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Incorrect Usage (Will Cause Errors)
-
-```cfm
-<!--- NEVER mix positional and named arguments --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #linkTo("Home", controller="users", action="index")# <!--- ERROR --->
-    #textField("user", property="name")# <!--- ERROR --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-This is a Wheels framework requirement that applies to all helper functions including form helpers, link helpers, and custom application helpers.
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL: buttonTo() HTTP Method Requirements
-
-**The `buttonTo()` helper REQUIRES explicit `method` parameter for non-GET requests to generate proper HTTP verbs.**
-
-### Common Delete Button Error Pattern
-
-**❌ INCORRECT - Missing method parameter (causes RouteNotFound errors):**
-```cfm
-<!-- This generates POST request, not DELETE -->
-#buttonTo(controller="posts", action="delete", key=post.id, text="Delete", confirm="Are you sure?")#
-
-<!-- Error: "Wheels.RouteNotFound - path does not allow POST requests, only GET, PATCH, PUT, DELETE" -->
-```
-
-**✅ CORRECT - Include method="delete" parameter:**
-```cfm
-<!-- This generates proper DELETE request -->
-#buttonTo(controller="posts", action="delete", method="delete", key=post.id, text="Delete", confirm="Are you sure?")#
-```
-
-### HTTP Method Requirements for buttonTo()
-
-```cfm
-<!-- POST requests (default if no method specified) -->
-#buttonTo(controller="posts", action="create", text="Create Post")#
-
-<!-- PUT/PATCH requests -->
-#buttonTo(controller="posts", action="update", method="put", key=post.id, text="Update")#
-#buttonTo(controller="posts", action="update", method="patch", key=post.id, text="Update")#
-
-<!-- DELETE requests -->
-#buttonTo(controller="posts", action="delete", method="delete", key=post.id, text="Delete")#
-#buttonTo(controller="comments", action="delete", method="delete", key=comment.id, text="Delete")#
-```
-
-### Why This Matters
-
-Wheels resource routing expects specific HTTP methods:
-- `GET /posts` → `index()` action
-- `POST /posts` → `create()` action
-- `GET /posts/1` → `show()` action
-- `PUT/PATCH /posts/1` → `update()` action
-- `DELETE /posts/1` → `delete()` action
-
-**Without the `method` parameter, `buttonTo()` defaults to POST, causing route mismatches.**
-
-### Testing Delete Functionality
-
-Always test delete functionality in the browser to ensure:
-- [ ] No "RouteNotFound" errors occur
-- [ ] Proper flash messages appear ("Post deleted successfully!")
-- [ ] Correct redirects happen (back to index or show page)
-- [ ] Confirmation dialogs work (`confirm="Are you sure?"` parameter)

-
-### Global View Helpers
-
-Place common helpers in `/app/views/helpers.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- /app/views/helpers.cfm --->
-<cfscript>

-    }
-}
-
-function timeAgo(required date datetime) {
-    local.diff = DateDiff("n", arguments.datetime, Now());
-
-    if (local.diff < 1) {
-        return "just now";
-    } else if (local.diff < 60) {
-        return "#local.diff# minute#(local.diff == 1 ? '' : 's')# ago";
-    } else if (local.diff < 1440) {
-        local.hours = Int(local.diff / 60);

-    }
-}
-
-function pluralize(required numeric count, required string singular, string plural = "") {
-    if (arguments.count == 1) {
-        return arguments.singular;
-    } else {
-        return Len(arguments.plural) ? arguments.plural : arguments.singular & "s";
-    }
-}

-
-### HTML5 Form Helpers
-
-Wheels includes dedicated HTML5 input helpers for common input types:
-
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-    #emailField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email")#
-    #urlField(objectName="user", property="website", label="Website")#

-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-Tag-based variants are also available: `emailFieldTag()`, `numberFieldTag()`, `dateFieldTag()`, etc.
-
-See [Form Helpers](./helpers/forms.md) for the complete reference.
-
-### Form Helper Extensions
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-function requiredField(required string objectName, required string property, string label = "", string type = "text") {
-    local.labelText = Len(arguments.label) ? arguments.label : Humanize(arguments.property);
-    local.fieldHtml = textField(objectName=arguments.objectName, property=arguments.property, type=arguments.type, class="form-control");
-    local.errorHtml = errorMessageOn(objectName=arguments.objectName, property=arguments.property);
-
-    return '<div class="form-group">
-        <label for="#arguments.objectName#-#arguments.property#">#local.labelText# *</label>
-        #local.fieldHtml#
-        #local.errorHtml#
-    </div>';
-}
-
-function optionalField(required string objectName, required string property, string label = "", string type = "text") {
-    local.labelText = Len(arguments.label) ? arguments.label : Humanize(arguments.property);
-    local.fieldHtml = textField(objectName=arguments.objectName, property=arguments.property, type=arguments.type, class="form-control");
-    local.errorHtml = errorMessageOn(objectName=arguments.objectName, property=arguments.property);
-
-    return '<div class="form-group">
-        <label for="#arguments.objectName#-#arguments.property#">#local.labelText#</label>
-        #local.fieldHtml#
-        #local.errorHtml#
-    </div>';
-}
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Status Helper
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-function statusBadge(required string status) {
-    switch (arguments.status) {
-        case "active":
-            return "<span class='badge badge-success'>Active</span>";
-        case "inactive":
-            return "<span class='badge badge-secondary'>Inactive</span>";

-        default:
-            return "<span class='badge badge-light'>#arguments.status#</span>";
-    }
-}
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL: HTML Encoding in View Helpers
-
-### Understanding the `encode` Attribute
-
-**Most Wheels view helpers have an `encode` attribute that controls HTML rendering:**
-
-- **`encode=true`** (DEFAULT): HTML tags are escaped and displayed as literal text
-- **`encode=false`**: HTML tags are rendered as actual HTML
-
-### Common Use Cases for `encode=false`
-
-#### 1. Links with HTML Content
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ WRONG: Shows literal HTML text -->
-#linkTo(controller="posts", action="index", text="<span class='logo'>My Blog</span>")#
-<!-- Output: <span class='logo'>My Blog</span> -->
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT: Renders HTML properly -->
-#linkTo(controller="posts", action="index", text="<span class='logo'>My Blog</span>", encode=false)#
-<!-- Output: My Blog (with logo styling) -->
-```
-
-#### 2. Form Labels with Icons
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ WRONG: Shows literal HTML -->
-#textField(objectName="user", property="email", label="<i class='icon-email'></i> Email Address")#
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT: Renders icon -->
-#textField(objectName="user", property="email", label="<i class='icon-email'></i> Email Address", encode=false)#
-```
-
-#### 3. Buttons with HTML Content
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ WRONG: Shows literal HTML -->
-#buttonTo(text="<i class='icon-delete'></i> Delete", controller="posts", action="delete", key=post.id)#
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT: Renders icon in button -->
-#buttonTo(text="<i class='icon-delete'></i> Delete", controller="posts", action="delete", key=post.id, encode=false)#
-```
-
-#### 4. Submit Tags with Icons
-```cfm
-<!-- ❌ WRONG: Shows literal HTML -->
-#submitTag(value="<i class='icon-save'></i> Save Post")#
-
-<!-- ✅ CORRECT: Renders icon -->
-#submitTag(value="<i class='icon-save'></i> Save Post", encode=false)#
-```
-
-### 🔍 View Helpers That Support `encode` Attribute
-
-**Common helpers with `encode` support:**
-- `linkTo()` - Links and navigation
-- `buttonTo()` - Form buttons
-- `submitTag()` - Submit buttons
-- `textField()` - Input labels
-- `textArea()` - Textarea labels
-- `checkBox()` - Checkbox labels
-- `radioButton()` - Radio button labels
-- `select()` - Select field labels
-
-### ⚠️ Security Considerations
-
-**When using `encode=false`, ensure HTML content is safe:**
-
-```cfm
-<!-- ✅ SAFE: Static HTML from developer -->
-#linkTo(text="<span class='brand'>Tech Blog</span>", encode=false)#
-
-<!-- ⚠️ DANGEROUS: User-provided content (potential XSS) -->
-#linkTo(text="<span>#user.displayName#</span>", encode=false)# <!-- DON'T DO THIS -->
-
-<!-- ✅ SAFE: Sanitize user content first -->
-#linkTo(text="<span>#HTMLEditFormat(user.displayName)#</span>", encode=false)#
-```
-
-### 🧪 Testing HTML Encoding
-
-**Always test HTML rendering with browser testing:**
-
-```javascript
-// Test that HTML renders correctly
-mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot(name="html_rendering_test")
-
-// Verify no literal HTML tags are visible
-// Check that styling/icons appear as expected
-```
-
-### 📋 Quick Reference Checklist
-
-**When adding HTML to view helper `text` or `value` attributes:**
-
-- [ ] Are you using static HTML (safe) or user content (potentially unsafe)?
-- [ ] Have you added `encode=false` to render the HTML?
-- [ ] If using user content, have you sanitized it with `HTMLEditFormat()`?
-- [ ] Have you tested the rendering with browser testing?
-- [ ] Does the HTML display correctly (not as literal text)?
-
-### Common Patterns
-
-#### Navigation with Icons
-```cfm
-<nav>
-    #linkTo(text="<i class='home-icon'></i> Home", controller="home", encode=false)#
-    #linkTo(text="<i class='blog-icon'></i> Blog", controller="posts", encode=false)#
-    #linkTo(text="<i class='contact-icon'></i> Contact", controller="contact", encode=false)#
-</nav>
-```
-
-#### Form Buttons with Icons
-```cfm
-#startFormTag()#
-    <!-- Form fields -->
-    <div class="form-actions">
-        #submitTag(value="<i class='save-icon'></i> Save", class="btn btn-primary", encode=false)#
-        #linkTo(text="<i class='cancel-icon'></i> Cancel", controller="posts", class="btn btn-secondary", encode=false)#
-    </div>
-#endFormTag()#
-```
-
-#### Branded Links
-```cfm
-<header>
-    #linkTo(controller="posts", action="index", text="<span class='logo-text'>My Amazing Blog</span>", encode=false)#
-</header>
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Keep helpers simple**: Each helper should do one thing well
-2. **Use meaningful names**: `formatCurrency()` instead of `format()`
-3. **Provide defaults**: Use default parameters for optional arguments
-4. **Return safe HTML**: Encode user input within helpers, use `encode=false` for trusted HTML
-5. **Document complex helpers**: Add comments for non-obvious functionality

-# Custom View Helpers
-
-## Description
-Create reusable view helper functions to reduce code duplication and standardize common formatting across your application.
-
-## Key Points
-- Create helper functions in `/app/global/functions.cfm`
-- Available in all views automatically
-- Keep presentation logic out of controllers
-- Encapsulate complex formatting and display logic
-- Support parameters for flexibility
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-<!-- /app/global/functions.cfm -->
-<cfscript>
-    // Format currency with consistent styling
-    function formatCurrency(required numeric amount) {
-        return DollarFormat(arguments.amount);
-    }
-
-    // Display user avatar with fallback
-    function userAvatar(required user, size="medium") {
-        local.sizes = {small: 32, medium: 64, large: 128};
-        local.imageSize = local.sizes[arguments.size];
-
-        if (Len(arguments.user.avatarUrl)) {
-            return '<img src="#arguments.user.avatarUrl#" width="#local.imageSize#" height="#local.imageSize#" alt="#arguments.user.fullName()#" class="avatar avatar-#arguments.size#">';
-        } else {
-            return '<div class="avatar avatar-#arguments.size# avatar-placeholder">#Left(arguments.user.firstName, 1)##Left(arguments.user.lastName, 1)#</div>';
-        }
-    }
-
-    // Format status badges
-    function statusBadge(required string status) {
-        local.classes = {
-            active: "badge-success",
-            inactive: "badge-secondary",
-            pending: "badge-warning",
-            suspended: "badge-danger"
-        };
-
-        local.class = local.classes[arguments.status] ?: "badge-primary";
-        return '<span class="badge #local.class#">#UCase(arguments.status)#</span>';
-    }
-
-    // Truncate text with ellipsis
-    function truncate(required string text, length=100, suffix="...") {
-        if (Len(arguments.text) <= arguments.length) {
-            return arguments.text;
-        }
-        return Left(arguments.text, arguments.length) & arguments.suffix;
-    }
-
-    // Generate breadcrumb navigation
-    function breadcrumbs(required array items) {
-        local.output = '<nav aria-label="breadcrumb"><ol class="breadcrumb">';
-
-        for (local.i = 1; local.i <= ArrayLen(arguments.items); local.i++) {
-            local.item = arguments.items[local.i];
-            local.isLast = (local.i == ArrayLen(arguments.items));
-
-            local.output &= '<li class="breadcrumb-item' & (local.isLast ? ' active' : '') & '">';
-            if (!local.isLast && StructKeyExists(local.item, "url")) {
-                local.output &= linkTo(url=local.item.url, text=local.item.text);
-            } else {
-                local.output &= local.item.text;
-            }
-            local.output &= '</li>';
-        }
-
-        return local.output & '</ol></nav>';
-    }
-</cfscript>

-# Date and Time Helpers
-
-## Description
-Format and display dates, times, and relative time information in views with consistent formatting.
-
-## Key Points
-- Built-in date and time formatting functions
-- Relative time display (time ago, distance of time)
-- Customizable format masks
-- Timezone handling support
-- Consistent date presentation across application
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-<!-- Basic date formatting -->
-#dateFormat(user.createdAt, "mm/dd/yyyy")#
-#timeFormat(user.lastLoginAt, "h:mm tt")#
-
-<!-- Relative time display -->
-#distanceOfTimeInWords(user.createdAt, Now())# <!-- "3 days ago" -->
-#timeAgoInWords(user.lastLoginAt)# <!-- "2 hours ago" -->
-
-<!-- Custom date formats -->
-#dateFormat(post.publishedAt, "mmmm dd, yyyy")# <!-- "January 15, 2024" -->
-#dateFormat(event.startDate, "dddd, mmmm dd")# <!-- "Monday, March 25" -->
-
-<!-- Date and time combined -->
-#dateTimeFormat(comment.createdAt, "mm/dd/yyyy h:nn tt")#
-
-<!-- Conditional date display -->
-<cfif IsDate(user.lastLoginAt)>
-    Last login: #timeAgoInWords(user.lastLoginAt)#
-<cfelse>
-    Never logged in
-</cfif>
-
-<!-- Formatted date ranges -->
-<cfif DateCompare(event.startDate, event.endDate) EQ 0>
-    #dateFormat(event.startDate, "mmmm dd, yyyy")#
-<cfelse>
-    #dateFormat(event.startDate, "mmmm dd")# - #dateFormat(event.endDate, "dd, yyyy")#
-</cfif>
-
-<!-- ISO 8601 dates for HTML5/JavaScript -->
-<time datetime="#dateFormat(post.createdAt, 'yyyy-mm-dd')#">
-    #timeAgoInWords(post.createdAt)#
-</time>
-
-<!-- Timezone considerations -->
-#dateFormat(DateConvert("utc2Local", user.createdAt), "mm/dd/yyyy h:nn tt")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Use `dateFormat()` for date-only formatting
-2. Use `timeFormat()` for time-only formatting
-3. Use `timeAgoInWords()` for relative time display
-4. Use `distanceOfTimeInWords()` to compare two dates
-5. Apply timezone conversions when needed
-
-## Related
-- [Custom Helpers](./custom.md)
-- [Form Helpers](./forms.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Check for valid dates with `IsDate()` before formatting
-- Consider timezone differences in global applications
-- Use relative time for recent activities
-- Consistent date formats improve user experience
-- HTML5 `<time>` elements improve accessibility

-# Form Helpers
-
-## Description
-Wheels form helpers generate HTML form elements tied to model objects with automatic value binding and error display.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `startFormTag()` and `endFormTag()` to wrap forms
-- Form helpers bind to model objects and properties
-- Automatic value population and error display
-- Support for all standard and HTML5 form elements
-- Tag-based variants available for non-object-bound forms
-- Consistent naming conventions across helpers
-
-## Object-Bound Form Helpers
-
-Object-bound helpers automatically bind to model properties, populate values, and display validation errors.
-
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-#startFormTag(route="user", method="patch", key=user.id)#
-
-    <!-- Text field -->
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="firstName", label="First Name")#
-
-    <!-- Password field -->
-    #passwordField(objectName="user", property="password", label="Password")#
-
-    <!-- Email field (HTML5) -->
-    #emailField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email Address")#
-
-    <!-- URL field (HTML5) -->
-    #urlField(objectName="user", property="website", label="Website")#
-
-    <!-- Telephone field (HTML5) -->
-    #telField(objectName="user", property="phone", label="Phone Number")#
-
-    <!-- Number field (HTML5) with constraints -->
-    #numberField(objectName="product", property="quantity", label="Quantity", min="1", max="100", step="1")#
-
-    <!-- Date field (HTML5) -->
-    #dateField(objectName="event", property="startDate", label="Start Date")#
-
-    <!-- Color picker (HTML5) -->
-    #colorField(objectName="theme", property="primaryColor", label="Primary Color")#
-
-    <!-- Range slider (HTML5) -->
-    #rangeField(objectName="settings", property="volume", label="Volume", min="0", max="100")#
-
-    <!-- Search field (HTML5) -->
-    #searchField(objectName="search", property="query", label="Search")#
-
-    <!-- Select dropdown -->
-    #select(objectName="user", property="roleId", options=roles, label="Role")#
-
-    <!-- Checkbox -->
-    #checkBox(objectName="user", property="active", label="Active User")#
-
-    <!-- Radio button -->
-    #radioButton(objectName="user", property="accountType", tagValue="premium", label="Premium Account")#
-
-    <!-- Text area -->
-    #textArea(objectName="user", property="bio", label="Biography")#
-
-    #submitTag(value="Save User")#
-#endFormTag()#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Complete List of Object-Bound Helpers
-
-| Helper | HTML Input Type | Extra Attributes |
-|--------|----------------|-----------------|
-| `textField()` | `text` | `type` (overridable) |
-| `passwordField()` | `password` | — |
-| `emailField()` | `email` | — |
-| `urlField()` | `url` | — |
-| `numberField()` | `number` | `min`, `max`, `step` |
-| `telField()` | `tel` | — |
-| `dateField()` | `date` | `min`, `max` |
-| `colorField()` | `color` | — |
-| `rangeField()` | `range` | `min`, `max`, `step` |
-| `searchField()` | `search` | — |
-| `hiddenField()` | `hidden` | — |
-| `fileField()` | `file` | — |
-| `textArea()` | `<textarea>` | — |
-| `select()` | `<select>` | `options`, `includeBlank` |
-| `checkBox()` | `checkbox` | `checkedValue`, `uncheckedValue` |
-| `radioButton()` | `radio` | `tagValue` |
-
-## Tag-Based Form Helpers
-
-Tag-based helpers accept `name` and `value` instead of `objectName` and `property`. Every object-bound helper has a corresponding tag version with a `Tag` suffix.
-
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-#startFormTag(route="search", method="get")#
-
-    <!-- Text input -->
-    #textFieldTag(name="query", value=params.query, label="Search")#
-
-    <!-- Email input -->
-    #emailFieldTag(name="email", value="", label="Email")#
-
-    <!-- Number input with constraints -->
-    #numberFieldTag(name="quantity", value="1", min="0", max="99", step="1")#
-
-    <!-- Date input -->
-    #dateFieldTag(name="startDate", value="", min="2020-01-01")#
-
-    <!-- Range slider -->
-    #rangeFieldTag(name="rating", value="5", min="1", max="10")#
-
-    <!-- Color picker -->
-    #colorFieldTag(name="color", value="##336699")#
-
-    <!-- Search input -->
-    #searchFieldTag(name="q", value="")#
-
-    <!-- URL input -->
-    #urlFieldTag(name="website", value="")#
-
-    <!-- Telephone input -->
-    #telFieldTag(name="phone", value="")#
-
-    #submitTag(value="Search")#
-#endFormTag()#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## HTML5 Form Helpers in Detail
-
-### emailField / emailFieldTag
-Generates `<input type="email">`. Triggers email-specific keyboard on mobile and built-in browser validation.
-
-```cfm
-<!-- Object-bound -->
-#emailField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email Address")#
-
-<!-- Tag-based -->
-#emailFieldTag(name="email", value="user@example.com", placeholder="you@example.com")#
-```
-
-### numberField / numberFieldTag
-Generates `<input type="number">` with optional `min`, `max`, and `step` constraints.
-
-```cfm
-#numberField(objectName="product", property="quantity", min="1", max="100", step="1")#
-#numberFieldTag(name="price", value="9.99", min="0", step="0.01")#
-```
-
-### dateField / dateFieldTag
-Generates `<input type="date">` with optional `min` and `max` constraints. Values use `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
-
-```cfm

-#dateFieldTag(name="birthday", value="2000-01-15")#
-```
-
-### rangeField / rangeFieldTag
-Generates `<input type="range">` slider with `min`, `max`, and `step`.
-
-```cfm
-#rangeField(objectName="settings", property="volume", min="0", max="100", step="5")#
-#rangeFieldTag(name="brightness", value="50", min="0", max="100")#
-```
-
-### colorField / colorFieldTag
-Generates `<input type="color">` for color picker. Value should be a hex color code.
-
-```cfm
-#colorField(objectName="theme", property="primaryColor")#
-#colorFieldTag(name="bgColor", value="##ff0000")#
-```
-
-### telField / telFieldTag
-Generates `<input type="tel">`. Triggers telephone-specific keyboard on mobile.
-
-```cfm
-#telField(objectName="user", property="phone", label="Phone")#

-```cfm
-#searchField(objectName="search", property="query", label="Search")#
-#searchFieldTag(name="q", value="", placeholder="Search...")#
-```
-
-## Common Parameters
-
-All form helpers accept these common parameters:
-
-| Parameter | Description |
-|-----------|-------------|
-| `label` | Text for the `<label>` element |
-| `labelPlacement` | Where to place the label: `before`, `after`, `around` |
-| `prepend` | HTML to prepend before the field |
-| `append` | HTML to append after the field |
-| `prependToLabel` | HTML to prepend before the label |

-
-## Form Structure Best Practices
-
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-#startFormTag(route="users", method="post")#
-
-    <div class="form-group">
-        #emailField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email *", class="form-control")#
-        #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="email")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div class="form-group">
-        #passwordField(objectName="user", property="password", label="Password *", class="form-control")#
-        #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="password")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div class="form-group">
-        #numberField(objectName="user", property="age", label="Age", class="form-control", min="13", max="120")#
-        #errorMessageOn(objectName="user", property="age")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div class="form-group">
-        #telField(objectName="user", property="phone", label="Phone", class="form-control")#
-    </div>
-
-    #submitTag(value="Create Account", class="btn btn-primary")#
-#endFormTag()#
-</cfoutput>
-```

-# Link Helpers
-
-## Description
-Generate HTML links using Wheels routing system with automatic URL building and parameter handling.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `linkTo()` for all internal links
-- Automatic URL generation from routes
-- Support for named routes and controller/action pairs
-- Automatic HTML encoding and parameter handling
-- Support for additional HTML attributes
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-<cfoutput>
-<!-- Named route links -->
-#linkTo(route="user", key=user.id, text="View Profile")#
-#linkTo(route="editUser", key=user.id, text="Edit User")#
-
-<!-- Controller/action links -->
-#linkTo(controller="posts", action="index", text="All Posts")#
-#linkTo(controller="users", action="show", key=5, text="User #5")#
-
-<!-- Links with additional attributes -->
-#linkTo(
-    route="user",
-    key=user.id,
-    text="View Profile",
-    class="btn btn-primary",
-    title="Click to view full profile"
-)#
-
-<!-- Confirmation links -->
-#linkTo(
-    route="user",
-    method="delete",
-    key=user.id,
-    text="Delete User",
-    confirm="Are you sure you want to delete this user?"
-)#
-
-<!-- External links -->
-#linkTo(href="https://wheels.dev", text="Wheels Framework")#
-
-<!-- Mail and telephone links -->
-#mailTo("user@example.com", "Send Email")#
-#linkTo(href="tel:+1234567890", text="Call Us")#
-
-<!-- Links with complex parameters -->
-#linkTo(
-    controller="search",
-    action="results",
-    params={category: "books", sort: "title"},
-    text="Search Books"
-)#
-
-<!-- Conditional linking -->
-<cfif user.canEdit>
-    #linkTo(route="editUser", key=user.id, text="Edit")#
-<cfelse>
-    <span class="disabled">Edit</span>
-</cfif>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Use `linkTo()` for internal application links
-2. Specify `route` for named routes or `controller`/`action` for direct links
-3. Include required route parameters (`key`, custom params)
-4. Add `text` parameter for link content
-5. Include HTML attributes as additional parameters

-# Pagination View Helpers
-
-Composable helpers for building custom pagination UIs. All read from pagination metadata set by `findAll(page=...)` or `setPagination()`.
-
-## Helpers
-
-### paginationInfo(handle, format, encode)
-Text summary. Default format: `"Showing [startRow]-[endRow] of [totalRecords] records"`.
-Tokens: `[startRow]`, `[endRow]`, `[totalRecords]`, `[currentPage]`, `[totalPages]`.
-Returns `"No records found"` when totalRecords is 0.
-
-### previousPageLink(text, handle, name, class, disabledClass, showDisabled, pageNumberAsParam, encode)
-Link to previous page. Renders `<span class="disabled">` on first page (or empty string if `showDisabled=false`).
-
-### nextPageLink(text, handle, name, class, disabledClass, showDisabled, pageNumberAsParam, encode)
-Link to next page. Renders disabled span on last page.
-
-### firstPageLink(text, handle, name, class, disabledClass, showDisabled, pageNumberAsParam, encode)
-Link to first page. Disabled when already on page 1.
-
-### lastPageLink(text, handle, name, class, disabledClass, showDisabled, pageNumberAsParam, encode)
-Link to last page. Disabled when already on last page.
-
-### pageNumberLinks(windowSize, handle, name, class, classForCurrent, linkToCurrentPage, prependToPage, appendToPage, pageNumberAsParam, encode)
-Windowed page numbers. Current page renders as `<span class="current">` unless `linkToCurrentPage=true`.
-
-### paginationNav(handle, navClass, showFirst, showLast, showPrevious, showNext, showInfo, showSinglePage, encode)
-Complete `<nav class="pagination">` composing all above helpers. Returns empty string for single page unless `showSinglePage=true`.
-
-## Defaults (config/settings.cfm)
-```cfm
-set(functionName="previousPageLink", text="&laquo; Prev");
-set(functionName="nextPageLink", text="Next &raquo;");
-set(functionName="paginationInfo", format="Page [currentPage] of [totalPages]");
-set(functionName="pageNumberLinks", windowSize=5);
-```
-
-## Multiple Handles
-```cfm
-// Controller
-users = model("User").findAll(page=params.userPage, perPage=10, handle="users", order="name");
-// View
-#paginationNav(handle="users")#
-```
-
-## Relationship to paginationLinks()
-These helpers complement (not replace) the existing `paginationLinks()` monolithic helper. Use `paginationLinks()` for quick defaults; use these composable helpers when you need custom layouts.
-
-## Implementation
-- File: `vendor/wheels/view/pagination.cfc`
-- Defaults: `vendor/wheels/events/init/functions.cfm`
-- Tests: `tests/specs/view/PaginationHelpersSpec.cfc`
-- All helpers use `$args()` for defaults, `pagination()` for metadata, and `linkTo()` for link generation.

-# Layouts in Wheels
-
-## Layout System Overview
-
-Layouts in Wheels provide a way to wrap your view content with common HTML structure, navigation, headers, and footers. The layout system supports global layouts, controller-specific layouts, and nested layouts.
-
-## Global Layout
-
-The default layout at `/app/views/layout.cfm` wraps all views unless overridden:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- /app/views/layout.cfm --->
-<cfif application.contentOnly>
-    <cfoutput>
-        #flashMessages()#
-        #includeContent()#

-    </head>
-    <body>
-        <nav>
-            <a href="#urlFor(controller='home', action='index')#">Home</a>
-        </nav>
-
-        #flashMessages()#
-
-        <main>
-            #includeContent()#
-        </main>
-
-        <footer>
-            &copy; #Year(Now())# My App
-        </footer>
-    </body>
-</html>
-</cfoutput>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-**Critical Rules:**
-- ✅ **Open `<cfoutput>` immediately after `<cfelse>`** - wraps entire HTML
-- ✅ **Close `</cfoutput>` immediately before `</cfif>`** - at end of layout
-- ❌ **Do NOT nest `<cfoutput>` blocks** - single block for all HTML
-- ✅ **All CFML expressions must be inside the cfoutput block** (`#urlFor()#`, `#Year()#`, etc.)
-
-**Why This Structure:**
-- The `application.contentOnly` branch handles API/JSON responses (no HTML wrapper)
-- The main HTML branch needs all dynamic content in one `<cfoutput>` block
-- Nested cfoutput blocks are redundant and can cause issues
-
-## Controller-Specific Layout
-
-Create `/app/views/[controller]/layout.cfm` to override global layout:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- /app/views/admin/layout.cfm --->
-<cfoutput>
-<html>
-    <head>
-        <title>Admin Panel</title>
-        #csrfMetaTags()#
-    </head>
-    <body class="admin">
-        <nav class="admin-nav">
-            #includePartial("/shared/adminNav")#
-        </nav>
-        <main>
-            #flashMessages()#
-            #includeContent()#
-        </main>
-    </body>
-</html>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Using Different Layouts
-
-Override layout in controller action:
-
-```cfm
-// In controller
-function display() {
-    renderView(layout="visitorLayout");
-}
-```
-
-## Nested Layouts
-
-Use `includeLayout()` and `contentFor()` for layout inheritance:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Child layout --->
-<cfscript>
-    contentFor(pageTitle="My Custom Title");
-</cfscript>
-<cfoutput>#includeLayout("layout")#</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- Parent layout --->
-<html>
-    <head>
-        <title><cfoutput>#includeContent("pageTitle")#</cfoutput></title>
-    </head>
-    <body>
-        <cfoutput>#includeContent()#</cfoutput>
-    </body>
-</html>
-```
-
-## Content Sections
-
-Define content sections in views for use in layouts:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Define content sections in views --->
-<cfscript>
-    contentFor(head="<link rel='stylesheet' href='user-styles.css'>");
-    contentFor(pageTitle="User Profile - " & user.name);
-</cfscript>
-
-<!--- Use in layout --->
-<html>
-    <head>
-        <title><cfoutput>#includeContent("pageTitle")#</cfoutput></title>
-        <cfoutput>#includeContent("head")#</cfoutput>
-    </head>
-    <body>
-        <cfoutput>#includeContent()#</cfoutput>
-    </body>
-</html>
-```
-
-## Complete Layout Example
-
-```cfm
-<!--- /app/views/layout.cfm --->
-<cfoutput>
-<!DOCTYPE html>
-<html lang="en">
-<head>
-    <meta charset="utf-8">
-    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
-    #csrfMetaTags()#
-    <title>#contentFor("title", "MyApp")#</title>
-
-    #styleSheetLinkTag("application")#
-    #javaScriptIncludeTag("application")#
-
-    #contentFor("head")#
-</head>
-<body>
-    <nav class="navbar">
-        <div class="container">
-            #linkTo(route="root", text="MyApp", class="navbar-brand")#
-            <ul class="nav">
-                <li>#linkTo(route="users", text="Users")#</li>
-                <li>#linkTo(route="orders", text="Orders")#</li>
-            </ul>
-        </div>
-    </nav>
-
-    <main class="container">
-        #flashMessages()#
-        #includeContent()#
-    </main>
-
-    <footer>
-        #contentFor("footer")#
-    </footer>
-</body>
-</html>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Layout Usage in Views
-
-```cfm
-<!--- In a view file --->
-<cfscript>
-    contentFor("title", "User List - MyApp");
-    contentFor("head", "<link rel='stylesheet' href='/css/users.css'>");
-</cfscript>
-
-<cfoutput>
-<h1>Users</h1>
-<div class="user-list">
-    <!-- User list content -->
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```

-# Content For
-
-## Description
-Allow views to populate specific sections of layouts, enabling flexible page structure and dynamic content insertion.
-
-## Key Points
-- Use `contentFor("sectionName", "content")` in views
-- Reference sections in layouts with `contentFor("sectionName")`
-- Support for both simple text and complex HTML
-- Can set default values in layout
-- Useful for page titles, scripts, stylesheets
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-<!-- In view: /app/views/users/show.cfm -->
-<cfoutput>
-#contentFor("title", "User Profile - #user.fullName()#")#
-
-#contentFor("stylesheets", styleSheetLinkTag("profiles"))#
-
-#contentFor("javascript", javaScriptIncludeTag("user-profile"))#
-
-#contentFor("breadcrumbs", '
-<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
-    <ol class="breadcrumb">
-        <li class="breadcrumb-item">' & linkTo(controller="home", action="index", text="Home") & '</li>
-        <li class="breadcrumb-item">' & linkTo(controller="users", action="index", text="Users") & '</li>
-        <li class="breadcrumb-item active">#user.fullName()#</li>
-    </ol>
-</nav>')#
-
-<div class="user-profile">
-    <h1>#user.fullName()#</h1>
-    <p>Email: #user.email#</p>
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!-- In layout: /app/views/layout.cfm -->
-<!DOCTYPE html>
-<html>
-<head>
-    <title>#contentFor("title", "My Application")#</title>
-    #styleSheetLinkTag("application")#
-
-    <!-- Page-specific styles -->
-    #contentFor("stylesheets")#
-</head>
-<body>
-    <!-- Breadcrumb navigation -->
-    #contentFor("breadcrumbs")#
-
-    <main>
-        #includeContent()#
-    </main>
-
-    #javaScriptIncludeTag("application")#
-
-    <!-- Page-specific JavaScript -->
-    #contentFor("javascript")#
-</body>
-</html>
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Call `contentFor("section", "content")` in views
-2. Reference sections in layouts with `contentFor("section")`
-3. Provide default values: `contentFor("section", "default")`
-4. Use for page titles, meta tags, scripts, stylesheets
-5. Can include complex HTML and helper function calls
-

-- [Partials](./partials.md)
-- [Custom Helpers](../helpers/custom.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Content must be set before layout is rendered
-- Can override default values set in layout
-- Useful for SEO meta tags and page-specific resources
-- Content is not escaped - handle security appropriately
-- Multiple calls to same section will concatenate content

-# Partials
-
-## Description
-Reusable view components that can be included in multiple templates to reduce duplication and improve maintainability.
-
-## Key Points
-- Create partial files with underscore prefix: `_partial.cfm`
-- Use `includePartial()` to render partials
-- Pass local variables to partials
-- Can include partials from other controllers
-- Useful for repeated UI components
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-<!-- Create partial: /app/views/shared/_user_card.cfm -->
-<cfparam name="user">
-<cfparam name="showActions" default="true">
-
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="user-card">
-    <div class="user-avatar">
-        #userAvatar(user, "medium")#
-    </div>
-    <div class="user-info">
-        <h3>#user.fullName()#</h3>
-        <p>#user.email#</p>
-        <p>Joined #timeAgoInWords(user.createdAt)#</p>
-    </div>
-    <cfif showActions>
-        <div class="user-actions">
-            #linkTo(route="user", key=user.id, text="View", class="btn btn-sm")#
-            #linkTo(route="editUser", key=user.id, text="Edit", class="btn btn-sm")#
-        </div>
-    </cfif>

-    #includePartial("form", user=user)#
-    #submitTag(value="Update User")#
-#endFormTag()#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Create partial files with underscore prefix in `/app/views/`
-2. Use `includePartial("partialName")` to render
-3. Pass variables: `includePartial("partial", var1=value1, var2=value2)`
-4. Reference partials from other controllers: `includePartial("controller/partial")`
-5. Use `<cfparam>` to define expected variables

-# Layout Structure
-
-## Description
-Layouts provide the common HTML structure that wraps individual view templates, reducing duplication and ensuring consistency.
-
-## Key Points
-- Default layout is `/app/views/layout.cfm`
-- Use `includeContent()` to render view content
-- Support multiple layouts for different sections
-- `contentFor()` allows views to set layout sections
-- Can be disabled for AJAX/API responses
-
-## Code Sample
-```cfm
-<!-- /app/views/layout.cfm - Default layout -->
-<!DOCTYPE html>
-<html lang="en">
-<head>
-    <meta charset="utf-8">
-    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
-    <title>#contentFor("title", "My Application")#</title>
-
-    #csrfMetaTags()#
-    #styleSheetLinkTag("application")#
-
-    <!-- Page-specific stylesheets -->
-    #contentFor("stylesheets")#
-</head>
-<body>
-    <header class="navbar">
-        #linkTo(controller="home", action="index", text="Home")#
-        <nav>
-            <!-- Navigation items -->
-        </nav>
-    </header>
-
-    <main class="container">
-        <!-- Flash messages -->
-        #flashMessages()#
-
-        <!-- Page content from individual views -->
-        #includeContent()#
-    </main>
-
-    <footer>
-        <p>&copy; #Year(Now())# My Company</p>
-    </footer>
-
-    #javaScriptIncludeTag("application")#
-
-    <!-- Page-specific JavaScript -->
-    #contentFor("javascript")#
-</body>
-</html>
-
-<!-- /app/views/admin/layout.cfm - Admin layout -->
-<!DOCTYPE html>
-<html>
-<head>
-    <title>Admin - #contentFor("title", "Dashboard")#</title>
-    #styleSheetLinkTag("admin")#
-</head>
-<body class="admin-layout">

-    </aside>
-
-    <main class="admin-content">
-        #includeContent()#
-    </main>
-</body>
-</html>
-```
-
-## Usage
-1. Create layout files in `/app/views/`
-2. Use `includeContent()` where view content should appear
-3. Use `contentFor()` in views to populate layout sections
-4. Specify custom layouts in controller with `renderView(layout="admin")`
-5. Disable layouts with `layout=false` for partial content

-- [Rendering Views](../../controllers/rendering/views.md)
-
-## Important Notes
-- Default layout automatically applied to all views
-- Custom layouts stored in subfolders or with descriptive names
-- CSRF protection should be included in layout head
-- Flash messages typically displayed in layout
-- Disable layouts for AJAX responses and API endpoints

-# Partials in Wheels
-
-## Overview
-
-Partials are reusable view components that help keep code DRY and organized. They allow you to extract common UI elements into separate files that can be included in multiple views.
-
-## Basic Partial Usage
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Include a partial --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #includePartial("form")#
-    #includePartial("/shared/navigation")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Partial with Data
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Pass data to partial --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #includePartial(partial="userCard", user=currentUser, showActions=true)#
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- _userCard.cfm partial --->
-<cfparam name="arguments.user">
-<cfparam name="arguments.showActions" default="false">
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="user-card">
-    <h3>#EncodeForHtml(arguments.user.name)#</h3>
-    <p>#EncodeForHtml(arguments.user.email)#</p>
-    <cfif arguments.showActions>
-        <div class="actions">
-            #linkTo(text="Edit", route="editUser", key=arguments.user.id)#
-        </div>
-    </cfif>
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Partials with Objects
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Pass object to partial - automatically creates variables --->
-<cfset user = model("user").findByKey(params.key)>
-<cfoutput>#includePartial(user)#</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- _user.cfm partial can access user properties directly --->
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="user">
-    <h3>#EncodeForHtml(name)#</h3>
-    <p>#EncodeForHtml(email)#</p>
-    <!-- arguments.object also available for direct access -->
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Partials with Queries
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Loop through query with partial --->
-<cfset users = model("user").findAll()>
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="users">
-    #includePartial(partial="user", query=users)#
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- With spacer between items --->
-<cfoutput>
-<ul>
-    <li>#includePartial(partial="user", query=users, spacer="</li><li>")#</li>
-</ul>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Partials with Layouts
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Partial with its own layout --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #includePartial(partial="newsItem", layout="/boxes/blue")#
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- /app/views/boxes/_blue.cfm --->
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="news-box blue">
-    #includeContent()#
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## AJAX and Partial Updates
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Render partial for AJAX responses --->
-<!--- In controller action --->
-function updateUser() {
-    user = model("user").findByKey(params.id);
-    user.update(params.user);
-    renderPartial(user); // Returns just the partial HTML
-}
-
-<!--- _user.cfm partial for AJAX updates --->
-<cfparam name="arguments.user">
-<cfoutput>
-<div id="user-#arguments.user.id#" class="user-card">
-    <h3>#EncodeForHtml(arguments.user.name)#</h3>
-    <p>#EncodeForHtml(arguments.user.email)#</p>
-    <p>Last updated: #TimeFormat(Now())#</p>
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Caching Partials
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Cache expensive partials --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #includePartial(partial="expensiveReport", cache=60)# <!--- Cache for 60 minutes --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Common Partial Patterns
-
-### Navigation Partial
-
-```cfm
-<!--- /app/views/shared/_navigation.cfm --->
-<cfoutput>
-<nav class="main-navigation">
-    <ul>
-        <li>#linkTo(route="root", text="Home")#</li>
-        <li>#linkTo(route="users", text="Users")#</li>
-        <li>#linkTo(route="products", text="Products")#</li>
-        <cfif session.authenticated>
-            <li>#linkTo(route="logout", text="Logout")#</li>
-        <cfelse>
-            <li>#linkTo(route="login", text="Login")#</li>
-        </cfif>
-    </ul>
-</nav>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Form Partial
-
-```cfm
-<!--- /app/views/users/_form.cfm --->
-<cfparam name="user">
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="form-group">
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="name", label="Name:", class="form-control")#
-</div>
-<div class="form-group">
-    #emailField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email:", class="form-control")#
-</div>
-<div class="form-group">
-    #textArea(objectName="user", property="bio", label="Bio:", class="form-control")#
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Card Partial
-
-```cfm
-<!--- /app/views/shared/_card.cfm --->
-<cfparam name="arguments.title">
-<cfparam name="arguments.content">
-<cfparam name="arguments.actions" default="">
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="card">
-    <div class="card-header">
-        <h3>#EncodeForHtml(arguments.title)#</h3>
-    </div>
-    <div class="card-body">
-        #arguments.content#
-    </div>
-    <cfif Len(arguments.actions)>
-        <div class="card-footer">
-            #arguments.actions#
-        </div>
-    </cfif>
-</div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use descriptive names**: `_userCard.cfm` instead of `_card.cfm`
-2. **Validate parameters**: Use `<cfparam>` for required variables
-3. **Keep partials focused**: Each partial should have a single responsibility
-4. **Use arguments scope**: Access passed variables via `arguments.` for clarity
-5. **Consider caching**: Cache expensive partials to improve performance

-## WheelsTest BDD Best Practices for View Testing
-
-### 1. Test Isolation with BDD Lifecycle
-
-```cfm
-describe("View Component Tests", () => {
-
-    beforeEach(() => {
-        // Setup fresh data for each test
-        variables.testUser = model("User").new({
-            firstname: "Test",
-            lastname: "User"
-        });
-    });
-
-    afterEach(() => {
-        // Clean up after each test
-        if (structKeyExists(variables, "testUser") &&
-            isObject(variables.testUser) &&
-            variables.testUser.isPersisted()) {
-            variables.testUser.delete();
-        }
-    });
-
-});
-```
-
-### 2. BDD Test Data Management
-
-```cfm
-// Use helper functions for consistent test data
-function createTestUser(struct attributes = {}) {
-    var defaultAttributes = {
-        firstname: "Test",
-        lastname: "User",
-        email: "test_" & createUUID() & "@example.com"
-    };
-
-    structAppend(defaultAttributes, arguments.attributes, true);
-
-    return model("User").create(defaultAttributes);
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Testing Edge Cases with BDD
-
-```cfm
-describe("Edge Case Handling", () => {
-
-    it("should handle empty data gracefully", () => {
-        var emptyUsers = queryNew("id,firstname,lastname,email");
-        var content = includePartial(partial="userList", users=emptyUsers);

-        expect(content).toInclude("No users found");
-    });
-
-    it("should handle large data sets with acceptable performance", () => {
-        // Create test users

-            model("User").create({
-                firstname: "User",

-
-        // Clean up test data
-        model("User").deleteAll(where="email LIKE '%@example.com'");
-    });
-
-});
-```
-
-### 4. Mock External Dependencies with MockBox
-
-```cfm
-describe("External Service Integration", () => {
-
-    beforeEach(() => {
-        // Create mock weather service
-        variables.mockWeatherService = createMock("WeatherService");

-            returns={
-                temperature: 72,
-                condition: "Sunny"
-            }
-        );

-    });
-
-});
-```
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL: Content Verification, Not Just Status Codes
-
-### ❌ **Insufficient Testing**
-```bash
-# This only checks HTTP status - NOT actual content
-curl -s http://localhost:8080 -I | head -1  # HTTP/1.1 200 OK
-```
-
-**Problem:** HTTP 200 doesn't mean content is correct. Pages with errors can still return 200.
-
-### ✅ **Proper Content Verification**
-```bash
-# Verify actual content renders correctly
-curl -s http://localhost:8080 | grep "Latest Tech Posts"  # Confirms content rendered
-curl -s http://localhost:8080 | grep -c "article class"   # Counts posts displayed
-curl -s http://localhost:8080 | grep '#urlFor'           # Should return empty (no literal expressions)
-```
-
-### Testing Checklist for Views
-
-**After implementing ANY view changes, verify:**
-
-1. **Status Code**: Page returns 200 OK
-2. **Content Rendering**: Expected text appears in HTML
-3. **CFML Expression Evaluation**: No literal `#expression#` in output
-4. **Dynamic Data**: Database content displays correctly
-5. **Links Generate**: Navigation URLs are valid paths, not expressions
-6. **No Errors**: Console and logs show no errors
-
-### Integration Testing Pattern
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-    function run() {
-        describe("Content Verification Tests", () => {
-
-            it("should render actual content, not just return 200", () => {
-                cfhttp(url="http://localhost:8080/posts", method="GET", result="response");
-
-                // ❌ NOT ENOUGH
-                expect(response.status_code).toBe(200);
-
-                // ✅ VERIFY ACTUAL CONTENT
-                expect(response.filecontent).toInclude("Latest Posts");
-                expect(response.filecontent).toInclude("<article");
-                expect(response.filecontent).notToInclude("##urlFor");  // No literal expressions
-                expect(response.filecontent).notToInclude("##flashMessages");
-            });
-
-            it("should verify CFML expressions evaluate correctly", () => {
-                cfhttp(url="http://localhost:8080", method="GET", result="response");
-
-                // Check expressions were evaluated
-                expect(response.filecontent).toInclude('href="/posts"');  // Not href="##urlFor..."
-                expect(response.filecontent).toMatch("\d{4}");  // Year displayed, not ##Year(Now())##
-            });
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Command-Line Testing Strategy
-
-**Incremental testing after each component:**
-
-```bash
-# 1. After model generation
-curl "http://localhost:8080?reload=true" && echo "✓ Model loaded"
-
-# 2. After controller generation
-curl -I http://localhost:8080/posts 2>&1 | grep "200 OK" && echo "✓ Controller responds"
-
-# 3. After view creation
-curl -s http://localhost:8080/posts | grep -q "Expected Heading" && echo "✓ View renders"
-
-# 4. Verify no literal expressions
-curl -s http://localhost:8080 | grep -c '#urlFor' || echo "✓ No literal expressions"
-
-# 5. Count data items
-curl -s http://localhost:8080/posts | grep -c '<article' && echo "posts displayed"
-```
-
-### Why This Matters
-
-**Real-world example of status code false positive:**
-
-```cfm
-<!-- Layout with cfoutput error -->
-<html>
-<head>
-    #csrfMetaTags()#  <!-- Outside cfoutput block -->
-</head>
-<body>
-    <a href="#urlFor(controller='posts')#">Posts</a>  <!-- Literal text -->
-</body>
-</html>
-```
-
-**Result:**
-- HTTP Status: `200 OK` ✓
-- Content: Shows `#urlFor(controller='posts')#` as literal text ✗
-- Functionality: Completely broken navigation ✗
-
-**Without content verification, this error goes undetected!**

+# fix(cfml): return exit 1 when expression execution fails
+
+## Problem
+
+`lucli cfml '<expr>'` swallows CFML execution errors. The catch block at
+`src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/cli/commands/CfmlCommand.java:68-71` logs
+the error to stderr but doesn't return — control falls through to
+`return result`, where `result` is still `null`.
+
+`CfmlCommand.call()` is typed `Callable<Object>`. picocli's
+exit-code-from-Callable rule only triggers when the return value is an
+`Integer`. A `null` Object return maps to exit code 0. So:
+
+```bash
+$ lucli cfml 'throw(message="boom")'
+Error in cfml command: boom
+$ echo $?
+0                                       # ← wrong
+```
+
+This silently defeats every caller that checks exit codes:
+- Shell pipelines (`lucli cfml '…' && next-step`)
+- CI jobs (failed expressions pass the build)
+- Pre-commit hooks
+- Doctest harnesses — including the Wheels 4.0 guides `verify-docs`
+  harness, where this PR is motivated from
+
+## Fix
+
+One line: `return 1;` at the end of the catch block.
+
+```diff
+         catch (Exception e) {
+             System.err.println("Error in cfml command: " + e.getMessage());
+             LuCLI.debugStack(e);
++            return 1;
+         }
+```
+
+After the change, picocli sees `Integer 1` from `call()` and exits with
+code 1. The `finally` block still runs (`Timer.stop`), and the
+`setExecutionResult(result)` / `return result` block after the catch is
+skipped — which is correct, since there's nothing useful to expose to
+programmatic callers on failure.
+
+## Testing
+
+Before:
+```bash
+$ lucli cfml 'throw(message="boom")'; echo "exit=$?"
+Error in cfml command: boom
+exit=0
+```
+
+After:
+```bash
+$ lucli cfml 'throw(message="boom")'; echo "exit=$?"
+Error in cfml command: boom
+exit=1
+```
+
+Success path unchanged:
+```bash
+$ lucli cfml '1 + 2'; echo "exit=$?"
+3
+exit=0
+```
+
+## Scope notes
+
+I audited `RunCommand.java` at the same time because the same failure mode
+was reported there. Each catch in `RunCommand` already contains
+`return 1;`:
+
+- `src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/cli/commands/RunCommand.java:96`
+- `src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/cli/commands/RunCommand.java:105`
+- `src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/cli/commands/RunCommand.java:118`
+
+So `lucli run bad.cfm` should already exit non-zero on any exception
+propagating out of `engine.executeCFMFile()` / `executeCFSFile()` /
+`executeLucliScript()`. If empirical testing shows `lucli run bad.cfm`
+still exits 0 on CFML parse errors, the swallow is happening inside the
+script engine (compile-time errors not propagating as exceptions) and
+needs a separate fix at that layer — not in `RunCommand`.
+
+## Changelog
+
+```
+### Fixed
+- `lucli cfml` now exits with code 1 when the CFML expression throws. It
+  was previously swallowing errors and reporting success to the caller.
+```
+
+## Commits
+
+One commit, conventional-commit style:
+
+```
+fix(cfml): return exit 1 when expression execution fails
+```
+
+## Follow-up (separate PR)
+
+A proposal issue is filed separately for a dedicated `lucli parse`
+subcommand — parse-only, no side effects, JSON diagnostics — to serve
+LSP, pre-commit hooks, and doctest harnesses without spinning up the
+script engine.

+Subject: [PATCH] fix(cfml): return exit 1 when expression execution fails
+
+`lucli cfml '<expr>'` currently swallows CFML execution errors: the catch
+block logs to stderr but falls through to `return result`, where `result`
+is still `null`. picocli maps a null Object return to exit code 0, so every

+Add `return 1;` in the catch so the command exits with a non-zero code on

+# Proposal: `lucli parse <file-or-expression> [--json]` — parse-only CFML check
+
+## Summary
+
+Add a new subcommand, `lucli parse`, that reports whether a given CFML
+file or expression would compile — without executing it, without booting
+an app context, and without side effects. Output is a single JSON object
+(when `--json`) or a short human-readable report (default), and exit
+code reflects pass/fail.
+
+This fills a gap today where the only way to know "does this CFML
+compile?" is to run it via `lucli cfml '…'` or `lucli run file.cfm`,
+which fully evaluates the code (and therefore has side effects, loads
+the script engine, mounts application state, etc.). Parsing should be
+cheap, side-effect-free, and scriptable.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Four concrete use cases, all currently awkward or impossible with the
+existing toolchain:
+
+### 1. Editor / LSP integration
+
+An LSP server for CFML wants to surface parse errors as the user types,
+without running their code. Invoking `lucli cfml` risks state mutation;
+invoking `lucli run` requires a file on disk and runs the template.
+`lucli parse -` (stdin) with `--json` gives a fast, structured
+diagnostic stream that an LSP can consume directly.
+
+### 2. Pre-commit hooks
+
+```bash
+# .git/hooks/pre-commit
+for f in $(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | grep -E '\.(cfc|cfm|cfs)$'); do
+    lucli parse "$f" --json || exit 1
+done
+```
+
+Catches syntax errors before they ever land in `develop`. No server,
+no app context, no test run — just "is this parseable?"
+
+### 3. Doctest harnesses (the direct motivator)
+
+The Wheels 4.0 guides ship a [verify-docs harness](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/tree/develop/web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs)
+that extracts `{test:*}`-tagged code blocks from MDX and validates them.
+The `{test:compile}` driver currently has no good target: `lucli cfml`
+runs the code, `lucli run` needs a real file and runs it, and CFCs have
+no run-in-isolation path at all. `lucli parse` with JSON diagnostics is
+exactly the primitive the harness needs — one invocation per block,
+structured pass/fail, no fixture app required.
+
+### 4. CI guard on generated files
+
+Generators (`wheels generate model`, etc.) occasionally emit invalid
+CFML on edge cases. A CI step that parses every generator's output
+protects against regressions without running the entire test suite.
+
+## Proposed surface
+
+### Invocation
+
+```
+lucli parse <PATH | ->  [--json] [--fail-on=error|warning|info]
+lucli parse --expr '<CFML>'  [--json]
+```
+
+- `<PATH>` — file path (relative resolved via `getEffectiveRuntimeCwd()`,
+  same rules as `lucli run`). Extensions supported: `.cfc`, `.cfm`,
+  `.cfs`. Unknown extension: error.
+- `-` — read source from stdin. Treated as `.cfs` by default; `--ext=cfc`
+  overrides.
+- `--expr '<CFML>'` — inline expression mode. Parses as if wrapped in a
+  minimal `.cfs` script.
+- `--json` — emit JSON diagnostics on stdout (see schema below).
+  Default is a one-line human-readable summary.
+- `--fail-on=<level>` — exit non-zero if any diagnostic at this level or
+  higher appears. Default: `error`. Set to `warning` for stricter CI.
+
+### Exit codes
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| 0 | Parsed cleanly, no diagnostics at `--fail-on` level or higher |
+| 1 | Parse failed OR diagnostics at `--fail-on` level present |
+| 2 | Invocation error (file not found, bad flag, unreadable stdin) |
+
+### JSON schema (when `--json`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "ok": false,
+  "file": "/abs/path/to/file.cfc",
+  "language": "cfc",
+  "duration_ms": 42,
+  "diagnostics": [
+    {
+      "level": "error",
+      "category": "syntax",
+      "message": "Expected '}' to close block",
+      "line": 17,
+      "column": 3,
+      "length": 1,
+      "snippet": "    return result\n}"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- `ok` — boolean, `true` iff no diagnostics at or above `--fail-on`.
+- `file` — absolute path, or `"<stdin>"`, or `"<expr>"`.
+- `language` — `"cfc" | "cfm" | "cfs"`.
+- `duration_ms` — integer, parse wall-time.
+- `diagnostics[]` — ordered by file position. Always present (empty
+  array on clean parse).
+- `diagnostics[].level` — `"error" | "warning" | "info"`.
+- `diagnostics[].category` — freeform short string from Lucee's
+  compiler (`"syntax"`, `"semantic"`, `"deprecation"`, etc.).
+- `diagnostics[].line`, `column` — 1-based, referring to the source
+  exactly as provided.
+- `diagnostics[].length` — optional, characters underlined.
+- `diagnostics[].snippet` — optional, short source excerpt around the
+  error (useful for LSP hover cards and terminal pretty-printing).
+
+### Default (non-JSON) output
+
+```
+$ lucli parse app/models/User.cfc
+OK  app/models/User.cfc  (42ms)
+
+$ lucli parse app/models/Broken.cfc
+FAIL  app/models/Broken.cfc  (38ms)
+  error:syntax  line 17, col 3: Expected '}' to close block
+    |     return result
+    | 17: }
+```
+
+## Implementation sketch
+
+Lucee's compiler API (`lucee.runtime.compiler.CFMLCompilerImpl` and
+related classes) is the right entry point — it parses to AST without
+executing. The trick is surfacing structured diagnostics; Lucee's
+current compile path throws `PageException` with line/column metadata
+accessible via `getLine()` / `getCatch()` / `getSource()`.
+
+Proposed file layout (matching existing LuCLI conventions):
+
+```
+src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/
+├── cli/commands/
+│   └── ParseCommand.java         # picocli @Command, flag handling, output
+└── parser/
+    ├── CfmlParser.java           # thin wrapper around Lucee compiler API
+    ├── Diagnostic.java           # record: level, category, msg, line, col, len, snippet
+    └── DiagnosticJson.java       # serialises to the JSON shape above
+```
+
+Approximate LOC: ~250 excluding tests. Picocli wiring is ~50 LOC
+(mirroring `CfmlCommand`/`RunCommand`); the parser wrapper is the meat.
+
+### Open implementation questions
+
+1. **Which Lucee compile entry point exactly?** Needs a spike against
+   the current bundled Lucee version to confirm which API gives
+   structured diagnostics for all three file types (`.cfc`, `.cfm`,
+   `.cfs`) without requiring a full `ConfigWeb` / app context.
+2. **CFC semantic checks** — `extends="Model"` with no `Model.cfc` on
+   the mapping: parse error or semantic warning? Initial proposal:
+   parse-only means "lexically and syntactically valid"; semantic
+   resolution (component resolution, mapping lookup) is out of scope
+   for v1. If the compiler API surfaces those as diagnostics for free,
+   emit them at `level: "warning"` with `category: "semantic"`.
+3. **Inclusion of non-error diagnostics** — Lucee emits deprecation
+   warnings through the same pipeline. Surface them as `level:
+   "warning"` / `category: "deprecation"`. `--fail-on=warning` lets
+   strict CI promote them to failures.
+4. **Stdin EOF behaviour** — block on read until EOF, same as standard
+   Unix filters. Empty input: exit 0 with `diagnostics: []`.
+
+## Non-goals for v1
+
+- **Running the code.** If you want execution + error reporting, use
+  `lucli cfml` or `lucli run`.
+- **Formatting or linting.** Style rules belong in a separate linter
+  (e.g. a future `lucli fmt` or `lucli lint`). `parse` only answers
+  "does this compile."
+- **Cross-file resolution.** A CFC that `extends="app.models.Foo"`
+  parses in isolation even if `Foo` doesn't exist. That's a semantic
+  check, not a parse check, and belongs in a later pass.
+- **Performance tuning.** v1 can spin up the Lucee classloader per
+  invocation (same cost as `lucli cfml`); batching and daemon-mode
+  speedups come later.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+1. **Repurpose `lucli cfml` with a `--no-exec` flag.** Conflates two
+   concepts on one surface; harder for LSP/IDE users to discover.
+   Rejected.
+2. **Wrap the existing `lucli validate` (Wheels-specific).** That
+   command is tied to a Wheels app context. The need here is generic
+   CFML. Rejected.
+3. **Ship this as a Wheels-specific CLI subcommand.** The motivation
+   starts with Wheels docs but the primitive is purely CFML. Putting
+   it in LuCLI serves every downstream CFML tool (Wheels, Preside,
+   Mura, raw CFML projects) with one implementation.
+
+## Rollout
+
+1. **Issue (this)** — agree the surface.
+2. **PR #1: minimal implementation** — `ParseCommand` + `CfmlParser`
+   wrapper, `.cfm` + `.cfs` file parsing, `--json` output, 20+ unit
+   tests covering the diagnostic shapes. Ships without `--expr` and
+   without `.cfc`-specific handling.
+3. **PR #2: CFC + stdin + `--expr`** — extend coverage once v1 lands.
+4. **Wheels 4.0 docs harness picks it up** — `{test:compile}` driver
+   in the guides harness swaps from placeholder pattern-match to real
+   `lucli parse --json` calls.

+
+### Deliverables checklist
+
+- [x] New IA scaffold at `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/` with placeholders per top-level section.
+- [x] Hand-authored sidebar `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`.
+- [x] Writing style guide.
+- [x] verify-docs harness:
+  - `extract.mjs` — MDX walker (regex-based)
+  - `exec.mjs` — safe spawn wrapper (no shell)
+  - `cli.mjs` driver — `{test:cli}` with stdout/stderr/output asserts
+  - Orchestrator + report + dispatcher
+  - 11 passing `node:test` specs under `scripts/verify-docs/test/`
+- [x] Four sample pages, one per Diátaxis type:
+  - Tutorial — [Part 1: Hello, Wheels](../../../web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/01-hello-wheels.mdx)
+  - How-to — [Sending Email](../../../web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/sending-email.mdx)
+  - Concept — [The Request Lifecycle](../../../web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/request-lifecycle.mdx)
+  - Reference — [`wheels info`](../../../web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/cli-reference/info.mdx)
+- [x] CI workflow at `.github/workflows/docs-verify.yml`.
+
+### Verification
+
+- `pnpm verify:docs` → **2 passed, 0 failed**. The two `{test:cli}` blocks (`wheels --version` on the tutorial, `wheels info` on the reference) both execute cleanly against a real fresh fixture app.
+- `pnpm test:docs-harness` → **11 passed, 0 failed** across extract, cli, and orchestrator suites.
+- `pnpm --filter @wheels-dev/site-guides build` → **266 pages built** without errors or broken links. All four sample pages resolve from the sidebar.
+
+## What changed from the plan
+
+Three deviations, all intentional and discussed during execution:
+
+### 1. Compile driver deferred (plan Task 6 → skipped)
+
+The plan assumed `wheels check <file>` exists as a standalone CFML syntax-check subcommand. It doesn't — `wheels` 4.0 ships `validate`, `analyze`, `doctor`, `console`, and `migrate`, but nothing that compiles an isolated file without an app context.
+
+**Decision (with Peter):** drop `{test:compile}` from Phase 0 entirely. Sample pages that would have used it (Tutorial Part 1, Sending Email) now mark their CFC fragments as illustrative (`title="app/controllers/Home.cfc"`) rather than `{test:compile}`. The harness's extract step still parses `{test:compile}` tags; the orchestrator reports "no driver for kind 'compile'" if it encounters one.
+
+**Follow-up:** file an issue against the Wheels CLI proposing `wheels check <file>` as a parse-only subcommand. Once shipped, implement the compile driver (~30 lines) and re-tag illustrative blocks. This is purely additive — nothing to unwind.
+
+### 2. Reference page changed from `wheels dbmigrate latest` to `wheels info`
+
+The plan used `wheels dbmigrate latest` as the Phase 0 reference sample. Two problems:
+- The 4.0 CLI renamed it to `wheels migrate latest`.
+- Any `wheels migrate` subcommand requires a running server, which the harness's isolated fixture doesn't have.
+
+`wheels info` is a better reference target: it works without a running server, produces real output, and has sensible options + exit codes to document. Page renamed and sidebar updated.
+
+### 3. cli driver gained `asserts-stderr` and `asserts-output` attrs
+
+Discovered during Task 12 that `wheels info` writes its report to stderr (while `wheels --version` writes to stdout). Added two attrs so authors aren't coupled to the stream distinction:
+
+- `asserts-stderr="..."` — substring must appear in stderr
+- `asserts-output="..."` — substring must appear in stdout OR stderr (the forgiving default)
+
+All three assertions run together if specified. Documented in `VALIDATION.md`.
+
+## Known gaps / follow-ups for Phase 1
+
+- **Compile driver.** Needs `wheels check <file>` or equivalent. Sample pages using illustrative CFC blocks should be re-tagged once that driver lands.
+- **Tutorial driver.** Not implemented; `{test:tutorial}` tags report "no driver for kind" at run time. Plan target: Phase 1 Task 1.
+- **CI install path for `wheels`.** The workflow uses `brew install wheels` on `macos-latest`; tap name `wheels-dev/wheels` is a placeholder pending confirmation. Linux-runner support is a meaningful Phase 2 follow-up — macOS runners are 10× more expensive on GitHub, and there's no reason the CLI can't target Linux.
+- **Test runner script.** `test:docs-harness` uses `scripts/verify-docs/test/*.test.mjs` explicit glob because Node 24 stopped accepting bare directory targets for `node --test`. Works, but if we pick up nested test dirs later, widen to `**/*.test.mjs`.
+- **pnpm workspace scripts directory.** `web/sites/guides/scripts/` didn't exist before Phase 0; it does now. Nothing else should live in it besides the verify-docs harness — if visual-regression tests ever move from `web/scripts/` to a per-site layout, rename conventions need thinking.
+
+## Architectural notes worth preserving
+
+### Why authoring in Starlight-native MDX
+
+Original plan called for GitBook-flavored markdown, translated by `generate-guides.mjs` into Starlight content. For v4 we skip the translator entirely — MDX is the source, Starlight reads it directly. Pipeline is simpler, edit links point at the real source, Starlight components (`<Aside>`, `<Steps>`, `<FileTree>`, etc.) are available. v2.5 and v3.0 keep using `generate-guides.mjs` since their source stays frozen in GitBook format.
+
+### Why regex MDX parsing
+
+A real MDX parser (`@mdx-js/mdx`) would be more robust, but Phase 0 Meta strings are simple: `{test:kind attr="value" attr2="value2"}`. The regex handles every tagged block the samples generated. If Phase 1 or Phase 2 hits an edge case (multi-line meta, nested braces), upgrade then — the extract module is 40 lines.
+
+### Why fixture-per-example
+
+Every `{test:cli}` block creates a fresh fixture app via `wheels new`. It's ~1.5s per fixture, but it guarantees isolation: one example's migrations, generated files, or state can't contaminate another's. Parallel execution in the orchestrator cuts total wall-time.
+
+## What to review
+
+1. **Tone & structure** — read the four sample pages in order (tutorial → how-to → concept → reference). Does the voice feel right? Is tutorial hand-holding vs. reference dryness crisp enough?
+2. **[STYLE.md](../../../web/sites/guides/STYLE.md)** — 73 lines, every rule enforceable. Anything missing or wrong?
+3. **IA** — the sidebar JSON declares the full v4 information architecture. 11 top-level groups. Anything to rename/regroup before Phase 1 starts populating?
+4. **Harness code** — `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/`. Short enough to read end-to-end. Key files: `lib/exec.mjs` (safe spawn), `lib/extract.mjs` (MDX walker), `drivers/cli.mjs` (driver with output asserts).
+5. **Preview** — boot the site locally: `pnpm --filter @wheels-dev/site-guides dev`, then hit `http://localhost:4323/v4-0-0-snapshot/`. Navigate via the sidebar.
+
+## Open decisions before Phase 1
+
+These deferred from the spec and/or surfaced during Phase 0:
+
+1. **Compile driver path.** File the `wheels check` CLI issue, or invent an alternative (e.g. temp-app + `wheels validate`)?
+2. **CI install mechanism.** Confirm the brew tap name in `.github/workflows/docs-verify.yml`.
+3. **Kamal deployment adoption.** Still pending — decision is Phase 1's deployment section.
+4. **`.ai/` reference docs.** Leave alone, merge into guides, or keep parallel? No action needed yet; flagging for the end-of-Phase-2 decision.
+5. **Tutorial domain check-in.** Still a blog? If Peter wants a different app for the tutorial (task list, polls, etc.), say so before Phase 1 Part 2.
+
+Once approved: Phase 1 begins — the full 7-part tutorial (Parts 2–7) plus the supporting Start Here pages (Welcome, Why Wheels?, Installing, First 15 Minutes).

+# Guides Rewrite — Phase 0 (Foundations) Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ship the foundations for the Wheels 4.0 guides rewrite: sidebar scaffold with placeholder pages, writing style guide, doctest harness (compile + CLI drivers), four sample pages (one per Diátaxis type), and CI wiring. No tutorial content yet — that lands in Phase 1.
+
+**Architecture:** Authored MDX lives directly at `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/` (bypassing `generate-guides.mjs` for v4). A Node.js harness under `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/` walks MDX files, extracts fenced code blocks with `{test:*}` metadata, and validates them by invoking the `wheels` CLI via `spawn()` with an args array (no shell). Output is a pass/fail report with line-precise failure messages. CI runs the harness on every PR touching the guides.
+
+**Tech Stack:**
+- Astro 5 + Starlight 0.34 (existing)
+- Node 22+ (existing, from `web/package.json` engines)
+- pnpm 10.23 (existing)
+- Node's built-in `node:test` runner (no new test framework)
+- `wheels` CLI (must be installed locally; CI installs it)
+- Regex-based MDX parsing for Phase 0 (good enough; upgrade to `@mdx-js/mdx` later if needed)
+
+**Spec:** [docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-18-guides-rewrite-v4-design.md](../specs/2026-04-18-guides-rewrite-v4-design.md)
+
+**Security note:** The harness never invokes a shell. All process launches use `spawn(program, args, opts)` where `program` and `args` are parsed out of metadata — no `sh -c`, no template-string concatenation. Commands in `{test:cli cmd="..."}` are whitespace-tokenized; authors who need shell features (pipes, `&&`, redirects) must write an equivalent without them or mark the block illustrative.

+
+### CI
+
+- `.github/workflows/docs-verify.yml` — runs on PRs touching `web/sites/guides/` or the harness.
+
+### Deletions in Phase 0
+
+- `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/` — prior auto-generated output from `generate-guides.mjs`, wiped and rebuilt.
+- `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json` — prior auto-generated sidebar replaced with hand-authored version.
+
+---
+
+## Conventions used in this plan
+
+- Every code change is followed by a verification step (run dev server, run tests, or build) and a commit.
+- Every new test uses Node's built-in `node:test` runner and `node:assert/strict`.
+- Commit messages follow the repo's commitlint scopes. Docs work uses `docs(docs): ...`. Tooling/config work uses `chore(config): ...`. Per the repo CLAUDE.md: `security` is NOT a valid scope; use the layer it touches.
+- All paths are relative to the repo root unless noted.
+- When a step says "run dev server," the worker keeps it in the background and hits it with `curl`, not a browser.
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Clear stale v4 content
+
+**Files:**
+- Delete: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/`
+- Delete: `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`
+
+The existing v4-0-0-snapshot directory contains auto-generated content from a prior run of `generate-guides.mjs docs/src v4-0-0-snapshot`. We are replacing it with hand-authored MDX.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Confirm the content is generated, not hand-edited**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+git log --oneline -- web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/ | head -5
+```
+
+Expected: recent commits show `generate-guides.mjs` or "regenerate" in the message. Confirms we're not throwing away hand edits.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Delete the directory and sidebar**
+
+```bash
+rm -rf web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/
+rm -f web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
+docs(docs): clear auto-generated v4-0-0-snapshot for hand-authored rewrite
+
+Replaces the generate-guides.mjs output with hand-authored MDX per the
+v4 guides rewrite spec.

+## Task 2: Scaffold the v4 directory + sidebar with placeholders
+
+**Files:** all under `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/` plus the sidebar JSON. See File Structure above for the exact tree.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create the v4 landing `index.mdx`**

+
+## Task 3: Write the style guide
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/STYLE.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the style guide**
+
+Write `web/sites/guides/STYLE.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# Wheels Guides — Writing Style Guide
+
+Governs every page in `src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/`. Contributors writing or reviewing docs treat it as enforceable.
+
+## Voice & tone
+
+- Second person ("you"), active voice. Never "we" except tutorial welcomes.
+- No marketing copy ("powerful," "robust," "effortless"). Describe what the feature does.
+- Short sentences. Split two-idea sentences.
+- Assume the reader is smart and busy.
+
+## Audience assumptions
+
+Every non-intro page declares assumptions in a "You should already know" `<Aside>` when relevant.
+
+- **Tutorial:** zero Wheels, zero CFML, some programming.
+- **Core Concepts:** finished tutorial or equivalent.
+- **How-tos:** finished tutorial; may require specific concept section.
+- **Reference:** familiarity with the feature; no teaching.
+
+## Code examples
+
+- Complete and runnable wherever possible. Show context even if it's 10 extra lines.
+- Real names (`Post`, `user.email`, `publishedAt`), not `foo`/`bar`/`someField`.
+- Every code block declares its file path: ` ```cfm title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc" `.
+- No placeholder comments like `// your code here`. Show the code or remove the block.
+- Every non-illustrative block is tagged for the verify-docs harness (`{test:compile}`, `{test:cli}`, or `{test:tutorial}`). See `scripts/verify-docs/VALIDATION.md`.
+- Illustrative blocks that cannot compile: ` ```cfm title="illustrative — do not type" `.
+
+## Page structure
+
+- Every page opens with a 1-sentence summary + 3-line "You'll learn" list.
+- Tutorials end with "Checkpoint" and "Troubleshooting" (three common failure modes).
+- How-tos end with "Related guides" `<CardGrid>`.
+- Concepts end with "See also" link block.
+- Reference pages: tables, lists, parameters — no narrative.
+
+## Vocabulary
+
+- "Wheels," never "CFWheels."
+- "the `wheels` CLI," never "LuCLI" in user-facing docs. LuCLI appears only in contributor/internal docs.
+- "migration," not "db migration." "Model," not "ORM model."
+- Function names in code voice: `findAll()`, `hasMany()`. Concept in prose voice: "finders," "associations."
+
+## Diátaxis purity
+
+Every page frontmatter carries `type: tutorial | howto | concept | reference`. A future Vale rule rejects mixed types.
+
+- **Tutorial** — learning-oriented. Hand-held. You build something.
+- **How-to** — task-oriented. "How to X." You already know what you want.
+- **Concept** — understanding-oriented. "Why Wheels does X." No commands, no steps.
+- **Reference** — information-oriented. Dry. Tables and lists.
+
+## Linking discipline
+
+- Internal links relative to site root: `/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/request-lifecycle/`.
+- External links checked by the link checker in CI.
+- Every CLI command links to its reference page the first time it appears in a page.
+
+## Starlight components to prefer
+
+- `<Aside type="note|tip|caution|danger">` for callouts — not blockquotes.
+- `<Tabs>` for OS-specific or engine-specific variations.
+- `<Steps>` for numbered procedural lists.
+- `<Card>` / `<CardGrid>` / `<LinkCard>` for "what to read next" blocks.
+- `<FileTree>` for project structure diagrams.
+
+## What we don't write
+
+- No emojis.
+- No "Note:" or "Important:" prefixed paragraphs — use `<Aside>`.
+- No headings deeper than `###`. If a page needs `####`, split it.
+- No tables of contents at the top — Starlight renders one on the right.
+```

+ * Why no shell: the harness runs command strings pulled from MDX metadata.
+ * Using `sh -c` would be a shell-injection surface. All callers must

+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Create VALIDATION.md**
+
+Write `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/VALIDATION.md`:
+
+````markdown
+# verify-docs — Metadata Reference
+
+Every non-illustrative code block in the v4 guides carries a `{test:*}` meta
+string the harness uses to validate it. Three flavors.
+
+## `{test:compile}`
+
+The block is written to a temp file and compiled against Lucee 7 via the
+`wheels` CLI. Pass if compilation succeeds.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+  function config() {
+    validatesPresenceOf("title");
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## `{test:cli cmd="..."}`
+
+The `cmd` is tokenized on whitespace and executed in a fresh fixture app.
+Optional attrs:
+
+- `asserts-stdout="text"` — stdout must contain `text`.
+- `asserts-exit=N` — process must exit with code `N` (default 0).
+- `step=N` — cumulative ordering within a file.
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels dbmigrate latest" asserts-stdout="Migrating up"}
+wheels dbmigrate latest
+```
+
+**Shell features not supported.** No pipes, redirects, `&&`, or quoted args
+with spaces. The harness spawns the program directly. Authors who need
+shell features must restructure the example or mark it illustrative.
+
+## `{test:tutorial step=N file="path"}` — lands in Phase 1
+
+Contents of the block are written to `file` inside the tutorial's fixture
+app at step N. Follow-up CLI commands (`{test:cli step=N}`) see this state.
+Phase 0 does not implement this driver; documented here so Phase 0 sample
+content can forward-reference it.
+
+## Shared attrs
+
+- `step=N` — cumulative state ordering. Lower N runs first.
+- `title="..."` — consumed by Starlight for code-block titles; ignored by the harness.
+
+## Illustrative blocks
+
+Blocks that cannot or should not compile:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type"
+someAPI.callThat.doesntExistYet();
+```
+
+The harness ignores blocks without a `{test:*}` meta flag.
+````
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add scripts to `web/sites/guides/package.json`**
+
+Current `scripts` section:

+
+- How to install Wheels on your machine
+- What `wheels new` scaffolds
+- How to add a route, controller, and view
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  This is Part 1 of the [Build a Blog tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/). You don't need any Wheels or CFML experience — just general programming.
+</Aside>
+
+## Install the Wheels CLI
+
+If you haven't installed Wheels yet, see [Installing Wheels](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/installing/) for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
+
+Verify your install:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+You should see a Wheels version number. If not, revisit the install guide.
+
+## Create the app
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create a new app called `blog`:
+
+   ```bash title="run in a fresh directory"
+   wheels new blog
+   ```
+
+   This scaffolds a Wheels 4.0 app with Turbo and Basecoat pre-activated.
+
+2. Move into the new directory:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   cd blog
+   ```
+
+3. Start the dev server:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels server start
+   ```
+
+   You'll see `Wheels server running at http://localhost:3000`.
+
+</Steps>
+
+Open `http://localhost:3000` in your browser. You'll see the Wheels welcome page.
+
+## What got created?
+
+<FileTree>
+- blog
+  - app
+    - controllers/
+    - models/
+    - views/
+  - config
+    - routes.cfm
+    - settings.cfm
+  - vendor
+    - wheels/
+    - hotwire/
+    - basecoat/
+  - box.json
+</FileTree>
+
+Three directories matter right now:
+
+- `app/controllers/` — request-handling code
+- `app/views/` — templates
+- `config/routes.cfm` — URL-to-controller mapping
+
+## Add a `/hello` route
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Open `config/routes.cfm`. You'll see:
+
+   ```cfm title="config/routes.cfm (illustrative — do not type)"
+   mapper()
+       .root(to="home##index", method="get")
+       .wildcard()
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+2. Add a new line before `.wildcard()`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm"
+   mapper()
+       .root(to="home##index", method="get")
+       .get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="home##hello")
+       .wildcard()
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+   `.get(...)` declares: when a GET hits `/hello`, run the `hello` action on the `Home` controller.
+
+3. Open `app/controllers/Home.cfc`. Add a `hello` action:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Home.cfc"
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function index() {}
+       function hello() {}
+   }
+   ```
+
+   Wheels renders the view at `app/views/home/hello.cfm`.
+
+4. Create `app/views/home/hello.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/home/hello.cfm"
+   <h1>Hello, World</h1>
+   ```
+
+5. Reload:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels reload
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Your app should now respond to `/hello`:
+
+```bash title="verify"
+curl -s http://localhost:3000/hello
+```
+
+Expected: `<h1>Hello, World</h1>` in the response.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  Click between the welcome page and `/hello`. No page flash — that's Turbo Drive handling page transitions without a reload.
+</Aside>
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`wheels: command not found`** — PATH doesn't see the CLI. See [Installing Wheels](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/installing/).
+
+**`Route '/hello' not found`** — you added the route but didn't reload. Run `wheels reload`.
+
+**Blank page at `/hello`** — the view file is in the wrong place. It must be at `app/views/home/hello.cfm` (lowercase `home`).
+
+## What's next
+
+In Part 2 (lands in Phase 1), you'll add your first model, run a migration, and seed real data.

+
+## Configure SMTP
+
+Open `config/settings.cfm` and set your SMTP credentials:

+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+set(mailerSettings = {
+    server: "smtp.example.com",
+    port: 587,
+    username: "you@example.com",
+    password: application.wo.env("SMTP_PASSWORD")

+
+Use an environment variable loader for secrets — don't commit passwords to source.
+
+## Generate a mailer
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels generate mailer WelcomeMailer welcome
+```
+
+Creates `app/mailers/WelcomeMailer.cfc` and `app/views/welcomemailer/welcome.cfm`.

+title: The Request Lifecycle
+description: What Wheels does between an incoming HTTP request and the response your user sees.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+
+import { Aside } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+When a request arrives at your Wheels app, it flows through five stages before your controller action runs — and three more before the response goes back. Understanding this pipeline tells you where to put code for every problem: auth goes in middleware, request-shape changes go in filters, view decoration goes in helpers.
+
+**You should already know:** what a controller action is, what a filter is. If not, finish the [tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/) first.
+
+## The pipeline
+
+```text
+HTTP request
+    │
+    ▼
+(1) Middleware              — before controller exists
+    │
+    ▼
+(2) Dispatch + route match  — pick controller + action
+    │
+    ▼
+(3) Controller instantiation — config() runs, filters registered
+    │
+    ▼
+(4) beforeAction filters    — load records, enforce ownership
+    │
+    ▼
+(5) Controller action       — your code
+    │
+    ▼
+(6) afterAction filters
+    │
+    ▼
+(7) View rendering          — layouts, partials, helpers
+    │
+    ▼
+(8) Response sent
+```
+
+## Why this order matters
+
+**Middleware runs before the controller exists.** That's why rate limiting and auth go there — they can short-circuit without paying the cost of instantiating a controller.
+
+**`beforeAction` filters run after `config()`.** That's why they can rely on injected services (`this.emailService`) — the DI container has already resolved them.
+
+**View rendering is inside the controller's request.** Helpers called from views access the same `params`, `flash`, and `session` that the action saw. The view is not a separate process.
+
+## A concrete request
+
+An authenticated user posts a new comment:
+
+1. **Middleware.** RequestId stamps a correlation ID. Cors validates the Origin. SecurityHeaders prepares response headers.
+2. **Dispatch.** `POST /posts/42/comments` matches `comments#create`.
+3. **Instantiation.** `Comments.cfc` instantiated; `config()` registers `authenticate` filter, injects `commentService`.
+4. **Filter.** `authenticate` checks the session; user is logged in, does nothing.
+5. **Action.** `create()` reads `params.comment`, builds a Comment, saves it.
+6. **afterAction.** A filter logs the event.
+7. **Rendering.** `redirectTo(post)` short-circuits rendering, returns a 302.
+8. **Response.** Correlation ID + CORS + security headers from step 1 applied.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  When deciding where to put new code, picture this pipeline and ask: when does this need to run? Before the controller exists? Middleware. Before every action in a controller? `beforeAction`. Once for a specific action? Action code.

+## Self-review
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+
+- ✅ Starlight-native MDX at `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/` — Tasks 2, 9–12
+- ✅ Style guide — Task 3
+- ✅ Directory scaffold with placeholder MDX per IA section — Task 2
+- ✅ Harness v1 with compile + cli drivers (tutorial driver deferred to Phase 1 per spec) — Tasks 4–8
+- ✅ One sample page per Diátaxis type — Tasks 9–12
+- ✅ CI integration — Task 14
+- ✅ Phase 0 completion report — Task 15
+
+**Placeholder scan:** none found. Discovery steps (Tasks 6.1, 7.1) explicitly ask the worker to confirm CLI command surface rather than hardcode assumptions — that's intentional, not a placeholder.
+
+**Type consistency:** example object `{file, line, language, kind, attrs, body}` stable across extract → drivers → orchestrator. Driver return shape `{ok, message?}` stable across compile + cli.
+
+**Ambiguity:** The Wheels CLI install URL in Task 14 is a placeholder (`install.wheels.dev/linux.sh`); flagged inline with guidance to substitute.
+
+**Security:** No shell invocation anywhere. All process launches go through `runExec(program, args, opts)` in `lib/exec.mjs`, which uses `spawn` with an args array. `tokenize()` documents that shell features are explicitly unsupported.

+## Deliverables checklist
+
+- [x] **Task 1** — Tutorial driver + `TutorialSession` class + fixture lib + orchestrator (code). Subagent ceremony: implementer → spec review → code review. Round 2 review fixes landed in `4ed05113c`.
+- [x] **Task 2** — Compile driver (native + fallback modes) + re-tag existing Phase 0 sample pages. Subagent ceremony as above. Plus an unscheduled-but-required fix to `lib/extract.mjs` to match indented fences inside `<Steps>` components. Minor nit (cache `detectMode` promise instead of value) fixed inline.
+- [x] **Task 3** — Welcome to Wheels (orientation concept page).
+- [x] **Task 4** — Why Wheels? (Rails / Laravel / Django comparison with when-not-to).
+- [x] **Task 5** — Installing Wheels (macOS / Windows / Linux tabs, one harness-checked `wheels --version`).
+- [x] **Task 6** — Your First 15 Minutes (skim-level zero-to-running-page).
+- [x] **Task 7** — Tutorial index + Part 1 rewrite (Main controller, not Home; note Hotwire/Basecoat activate in Part 3; dropped false "Turbo Drive active from page 1" aside).
+- [x] **Task 8** — Tutorial Part 2: first model (Post + migration + seeds + controller + views + routes).
+- [x] **Task 9** — Tutorial Part 3: CRUD scaffold (7-action controller + `_form.cfm` + 4 views + full `resources("posts")` + package-activation explainer).
+- [x] **Task 10** — Tutorial Part 4: validations + Turbo Frames (validations, CDN Turbo, frame-wrapped form, partial-render on invalid).
+- [x] **Task 11** — Tutorial Part 5: comments + Turbo Streams (Comment model + hasMany/belongsTo, nested routes via callback syntax, stream append on create).
+- [x] **Task 12** — Tutorial Part 6: authentication (6a hand-rolled with SHA-256 + salt, 6b with `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy`).
+- [x] **Task 13** — Tutorial Part 7: testing + deploying (model spec, controller spec, one browser spec, Kamal-first deployment overview, CardGrid to next sections).
+- [x] **Task 14** — Full harness run + build + report (this file).
+- [ ] **Task 15** — Final code review across Phase 1 diff. Remaining.

+- `pnpm --filter @wheels-dev/site-guides build` — **272 pages built** in ~4.7s. 266 was the Phase 0 baseline; +6 = 4 Start Here pages + tutorial index + 6 new tutorial parts minus adjustments.
+- All harness blocks validated against the real `wheels` CLI v0.3.5-SNAPSHOT. Compile driver runs in **fallback mode** (LuCLI PR #1 not yet merged); fallback catches bracket balance only. `wheels --version` smoke test per-page confirms CLI presence.
+
+## Deviations from the plan
+
+The Phase 1 plan was written against an aspirational view of the Wheels 4.0 CLI and package surface. Sandbox probing against the actual installed `wheels` v0.3.5-SNAPSHOT revealed a number of spec-vs-reality gaps. Rather than documenting features that don't work yet, the tutorial adapts to what ships today and notes the gaps explicitly. The decisions below are documented here so Peter can audit and roll them forward if he prefers.
+
+### 1. Default controller is `Main`, not `Home`
+
+Phase 0 Part 1 and the Phase 1 plan assumed the scaffolded app had a `Home` controller. `wheels new <app>` actually scaffolds `Main.cfc` with a single `index` action at `app/views/main/index.cfm`. Part 1 was rewritten to add a `hello` action to the existing `Main` controller rather than invent a `Home`.
+
+### 2. Hotwire and Basecoat are NOT activated by default
+
+Phase 0 Part 1's FileTree showed `vendor/hotwire/` and `vendor/basecoat/`; its closing aside claimed "click between pages — Turbo Drive handling transitions." Neither is true. A fresh `wheels new` app has only `vendor/wheels/`. The packages exist at `packages/hotwire/` and `packages/basecoat/` in the framework source tree, but the scaffold does not copy them into new apps, and a fresh user has no `packages/` directory at all to copy from.
+
+**Adaptation:** Part 1 drops the "Turbo Drive active from page 1" claim. Part 3 introduces the package-activation model conceptually (`cp -r packages/X vendor/X`) and notes that fresh apps don't ship with the packages/ dir yet. Part 4 adds Turbo via a CDN `<script>` tag in `layout.cfm` — an honest workaround that teaches readers how Turbo integrates, pending a `wheels package install hotwire` command in a future CLI release.
+
+### 3. `wheels generate model|controller|scaffold` is broken on v0.3.5-SNAPSHOT
+
+A fresh `wheels new` app creates an empty `app/snippets/` directory. The generators look for templates there (e.g. `ModelContent.txt`) and error with "Template not found: ModelContent.txt" if they're missing. Copying the framework's own `app/snippets/*.txt` into the app makes the generator work, but that's not a discoverable path for a new user.
+
+**Adaptation:** Parts 2-7 teach via hand-written files. Each part shows the full contents of each new CFC or CFM. An illustrative `wheels generate model Post ...` command appears in Part 2 with a "you may see `Template not found` on your CLI — hand-write the following if so" note. This is educational (readers see what a scaffold produces) and works today.
+
+### 4. Password hashing: no bcrypt on bundled Lucee
+
+Phase 1 Task 12 (Part 6) assumed `hashBCrypt()` / `bcryptHash()` existed. They don't. Lucee's bundled Java stack reports "bcrypt MessageDigest not available" when attempting `hash(pw, "BCRYPT")`.
+
+**Adaptation:** Part 6 teaches salted SHA-256 (`Hash(pw & salt, "SHA-256")` with `generateSecretKey("AES")` for the salt). An `<Aside type="caution">` explains SHA-256 is educational-only and points at bcrypt via CFX / Java libs / future `wheels-security` package for production. The mental model (salt + hash + compare) stays identical.
+
+### 5. CLI command names
+
+- `wheels dbmigrate` → actual is `wheels migrate`
+- `wheels db:seed` → actual is `wheels seed`
+- `wheels server start/stop` → actual is `wheels start` / `wheels stop`
+
+All tutorial pages use the actual command names. Task 1's `tutorial-fixture.mjs` was already fixed to use `wheels start` during Task 1 implementation (noted in the Task 1 implementer report).
+
+### 6. `wheels migrate` requires a running dev server
+
+Unlike most frameworks where migrations run against a DB connection, `wheels migrate latest` calls into the running app via HTTP. Without `wheels start` first, it errors with "No running Wheels server detected." This is noted in Part 2's migration step.
+
+### 7. `{test:tutorial}` cumulative state not used in tutorial parts
+
+The plan prescribed using `{test:tutorial step=N file="..."}` blocks so the harness would build up the blog app end-to-end. With the CLI's generator gaps and the package system's bootstrap issue, the cumulative shared-fixture path is too fragile for Phase 1. Tutorial parts instead use:
+
+- `{test:compile}` for every CFC / `config/routes.cfm` block — catches bracket errors in fallback mode, will become full parse checks once LuCLI PR #1 merges
+- `{test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}` as a per-page smoke test
+- `title="app/views/..."` (illustrative) for HTML views — views aren't reliably parseable via `wheels cfml`
+
+The reader's hands-on walkthrough is the end-to-end validation loop. The harness validates that the CFML code parses and that the `wheels` CLI is reachable.
+
+### 8. Unscheduled scope expansion: `extract.mjs` indented fences
+
+Task 2's re-tag work revealed that `FENCE_RE` in `lib/extract.mjs` required fences at column 0. MDX inside `<Steps>` components indents fences 3 spaces (list-item content). The existing regex silently skipped indented fences — 2 of `01-hello-wheels.mdx`'s re-tagged blocks never reached the harness, and every tutorial part using `<Steps>` would have had the same problem.
+
+Fix: extend `FENCE_RE` to capture leading whitespace and require the same indent on the closing fence (via backreference `\1`). Add a `stripIndent` helper to remove the indent from body content. Ships with 3 new extract tests; Phase 0's 5 tests remain green unchanged.
+
+## Architectural additions
+
+Task 1 shipped three new modules in `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/`:
+
+- **`drivers/tutorial.mjs`** (~190 lines) — `TutorialSession` class managing a persistent blog-tutorial fixture + server lifecycle. HTTP assertion parser (`parseHttpAssert`), DB row assertion via `wheels cfml` one-liner, safe spawn via existing `runExec`. The full tutorial driver is implemented but not used by Phase 1 content per Deviation #7; it stays ready for Phase 2 end-to-end assertions.
+- **`lib/tutorial-fixture.mjs`** — persistent fixture lifecycle (`resetFixture` / `writeFixtureFile` / `appendFixtureFile` / `readFixtureFile` / `runInFixture`). Path-traversal guards reject `../` and absolute paths.
+- **`lib/orchestrator.mjs`** — partitions examples into cumulative (tutorial + step-numbered cli) vs per-block (everything else). Orders cumulative examples by `(sidebarOrder, step, line)`.
+
+Task 2 shipped:
+- **`drivers/compile.mjs`** — `detectMode()` probes `wheels cfml 'throw()'` once per process; falls back to bracket-balance check when LuCLI PR #1 hasn't merged. Promise-cache avoids concurrent double-probe under `Promise.all`.
+- **`lib/cli-assert.mjs`** — shared `assertCliResult(result, attrs)` between `cli.mjs` and the tutorial driver's cli path.
+
+VALIDATION.md documents all three drivers (cli, compile, tutorial) with stable semantics.
+
+## Known gaps / Phase 2 follow-ups
+
+### Ready-to-file LuCLI issues
+
+1. **LuCLI PR #1** (already drafted; see `docs/superpowers/artifacts/lucli-pr-1/`) — `wheels cfml` exits 0 on CFML errors. Once merged, the compile driver auto-promotes from fallback to native mode with no code changes.
+2. **LuCLI `parse` proposal** (drafted as issue markdown; see `docs/superpowers/artifacts/lucli-pr-2/`) — dedicated `lucli parse <file-or-expr> [--json]` for side-effect-free parse checks. Would give the doctest harness proper structured diagnostics.
+3. **`wheels generate` on fresh apps** — snippets aren't bundled by the CLI into new scaffolds. Fix should either (a) have `wheels new` copy snippets from the framework source, or (b) have `wheels generate` find them in the framework source when missing from the app. This is blocking for anyone actually running the tutorial commands today.
+4. **`wheels package install <name>`** — no current mechanism to install Hotwire/Basecoat/etc. on a fresh app. Today requires manually copying from framework source, which most users don't have.
+5. **Parallel `wheels new` flakiness** — the harness's cli driver creates fresh fixtures in parallel. Occasionally (intermittent, one in ~20 runs) LuCLI engine init races produce "Can't cast String [] to a value of type [Struct]" / "Cannot invoke ScriptEngine.put because engine is null". Rerunning passes. Worth investigating via LuCLI logs. Workaround in Task 14: just rerun when it flakes.
+6. **No bcrypt on bundled Lucee.** Part 6 uses salted SHA-256. Either bundle a bcrypt-capable MessageDigest provider, or ship a `wheels-security` package with a proper hash helper.
+
+### Documentation follow-ups
+
+7. **`.ai/` decision** (deferred from Phase 0) — still unreached. Revisit at end of Phase 2.
+8. **Part 2's migration filename timestamps** are hand-chosen to be stable across the tutorial. In a real user's run, timestamps differ by the second they ran the generator. Once `wheels generate migration` works cleanly, we can replace hand-written timestamps with illustrative ones and show the actual generated filename format.
+9. **CI workflow `JAVA_HOME`** — `.github/workflows/docs-verify.yml` (Phase 0) doesn't export `JAVA_HOME`. Locally the `wheels start` in the tutorial driver test fails silently without it. Likely needs `env: JAVA_HOME: ...` in the workflow. Flagged in Task 1's report; haven't landed a fix yet.
+10. **Kamal walkthrough** — Part 7 mentions Kamal as the primary deploy path. Phase 2's Deployment section needs to write the actual walkthrough.
+
+### Harness follow-ups
+
+11. **`asserts-db-rows` untested in practice.** No tutorial page uses it; first real use may reveal needed fixes in the `wheels cfml` invocation. Documented as such in VALIDATION.md.
+12. **Fixture flakiness under high parallelism.** `cli` driver creates a fresh fixture per block; 4+ blocks in parallel occasionally races on LuCLI engine init. Mitigations to consider: fixture pool + reuse, retry-with-backoff on `createFixture`, or serial-fallback when >N blocks per run.
+13. **Tutorial driver not exercised by tutorial content.** The `TutorialSession` class + `{test:tutorial}` block syntax are fully implemented and unit-tested via the mini-tutorial fixture. No real tutorial page uses them yet, per Deviation #7. Phase 2 may revisit this when the CLI gaps close.
+
+## What to review before Phase 2 starts
+
+1. **Tone and voice of the 4 Start Here pages** — are Welcome, Why Wheels?, Installing, and First 15 Minutes the right front door? Specific feedback welcomed on Why Wheels? comparisons.
+2. **Tutorial Part 1 rewrite** — the old Phase 0 version was wrong about the default controller and package activation. The new version is honest about the CLI's current state. Does the "Hotwire/Basecoat arrive later" framing land?
+3. **Parts 2–7 accuracy** — these were probed against the installed `wheels` CLI but depend on APIs and conventions I read from the framework source, not end-to-end executed against a running app. A hands-on run-through by a real user (or Peter) is the best way to catch gaps.
+4. **Part 6 auth flow** — SHA-256 + salt instead of bcrypt is a compromise. Happy to rewrite Part 6 once a bcrypt path ships (package, CFX, or Java lib doc).
+5. **`{test:compile}` fallback mode's blind spots** — it catches bracket mismatches, nothing else. Mixed-arg-style errors pass, wrong function names pass, anything semantic passes. Once LuCLI PR #1 merges, native mode catches all of these with no code changes. Worth reviewing any CFML block for correctness — I've tried hard to match patterns from `vendor/wheels/auth/`, `vendor/wheels/migrator/`, the framework's own examples, and CLAUDE.md's anti-pattern guide.
+6. **The extract.mjs indent fix** — regex backreference plus `stripIndent`. Edge cases: tabs vs spaces (handled), mixed indent (rejected, correct), blockquote-inside-fence (not handled; not a realistic case).
+
+## Open decisions before Phase 2 starts
+
+1. **LuCLI PR filing.** Do you want to file the PR (ready-to-apply diff at `docs/superpowers/artifacts/lucli-pr-1/`) and the companion issue (`docs/superpowers/artifacts/lucli-pr-2/`) from this session, or save for a later session?
+2. **Tutorial rework after CLI fixes.** Once `wheels generate` works on fresh apps and Hotwire/Basecoat are installable, the tutorial should replace hand-written files with generator commands. Plan: audit and rewrite as a dedicated task in Phase 2, or wait for Wheels 4.1?
+3. **`{test:tutorial}` cumulative state.** The driver is built. Should Phase 2 retry wiring it up once the CLI's generator gaps close? Or is per-block testing enough for ongoing maintenance?
+4. **Kamal vs. other deploy paths.** Part 7 names Kamal as primary. Phase 2's Deployment section needs to either commit to Kamal or present multiple options.
+5. **Sidebar polish.** Start Here's `items` list now has 5 top-level entries plus the 7-part tutorial nested under "Tutorial: Build a Blog." Consider whether the nested tutorial items should collapse by default or stay expanded.
+
+## Summary
+
+Phase 1 ships two new harness drivers (tutorial + compile), both well-tested; four orientation pages (Welcome, Why Wheels?, Installing, First 15 Minutes); a rewritten Part 1; and the seven-part Build a Blog tutorial — 2,000+ lines of MDX narrative, 46 harness-validated code blocks, 29 unit tests, 272 pages building clean. Where the installed `wheels` CLI doesn't match the Phase 1 plan's aspirations, the tutorial adapts to current reality and explicitly notes the gaps. The scaffolding is in place to upgrade blocks to richer testing once LuCLI PR #1 lands and the CLI's generator/package gaps close.

+# Wheels 4.0 Guides — Phase 1 Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ship the full 7-part "Build a Blog" tutorial plus the Start Here support pages (Welcome, Why Wheels?, Installing Wheels, Your First 15 Minutes) — every tutorial code block executed end-to-end by the verify-docs harness against a real `wheels` CLI.
+
+**Architecture:** Extend the verify-docs harness with two new drivers (`tutorial` + `compile`). The `tutorial` driver maintains one long-lived blog-tutorial fixture app, walking all `{test:tutorial}` and step-numbered `{test:cli}` blocks across the 7 tutorial parts in cumulative order — writing file contents into the fixture and running CLI commands between them, asserting HTTP/DB state along the way. The `compile` driver uses `wheels cfml` with LuCLI PR #1's exit-code semantics, with a pattern-match fallback for environments where that PR hasn't merged. Content pages follow the STYLE.md voice and Diátaxis structure rules from Phase 0.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Node 22+ (ESM, `node:test`), Astro 5 + Starlight 0.34, MDX, `wheels` CLI (v0.3.5-SNAPSHOT+, framework v4.0.0), SQLite, `wheels-hotwire` + `wheels-basecoat` packages.
+
+**Base:** Branch `claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121` at Phase 0 head `ee2ad45bd` (merge base onto develop happens at end of Phase 2).
+
+**Review model (pragmatic split established in Phase 0):**
+- **Code tasks (1, 2)** — full subagent ceremony: TDD implementer → spec review → code-quality review.
+- **Content tasks (3-13)** — inline execution with self-review against [STYLE.md](../../web/sites/guides/STYLE.md) + harness-passing as the review gate. The harness executing each page's code end-to-end *is* the correctness test.
+- **Integration task (14)** — inline: full harness run + astro build + Cloudflare preview URL + completion report.
+- **Final review task (15)** — dispatch a single pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer subagent across the full Phase 1 diff.

+## Task 1: Tutorial driver
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/drivers/tutorial.mjs`
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/lib/tutorial-fixture.mjs`
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/lib/orchestrator.mjs`
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/test/tutorial.test.mjs`
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/test/fixtures/mini-tutorial/step-1.mdx`

+- Create: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/fixtures/.gitignore`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/verify-docs.mjs` (register driver, route through orchestrator)
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/VALIDATION.md` (mark `{test:tutorial}` as stable, document `asserts-http` / `asserts-status` / `asserts-db` attrs)
+
+**Design summary:**
+
+The tutorial driver differs fundamentally from the cli driver: cli creates a fresh fixture per block and throws it away; tutorial maintains ONE persistent fixture across all blocks from all tutorial files, walked in deterministic cumulative order. The orchestrator partitions examples into:
+- **Per-block examples** (`{test:compile}`, `{test:cli}` without `step`) — run in parallel, isolated fixture each.
+- **Cumulative examples** (`{test:tutorial step=N ...}`, `{test:cli step=N ...}`) — run sequentially, shared fixture.
+
+Cumulative ordering rule: sort by `(sidebarOrder, stepNumber, fileLine)`. Sidebar order comes from parsing each MDX file's frontmatter `sidebar.order`; ties break by step then by position in file.
+
+`{test:tutorial}` block semantics:
+- `step=N` — required. Integer ordinal.
+- `file="relative/path"` — required. Relative path inside the fixture app where the block body is written (clobbering any existing file).
+- `mode="write"` (default) or `mode="append"` — write the body or append to existing file (append is rare; useful for adding to `config/routes.cfm`).
+- `asserts-http="GET /posts → 200"` — after writing the file (and after any `{test:cli step=N}` at the same step), the driver hits the URL and asserts the status code. Format: `METHOD PATH → STATUS` or `METHOD PATH → STATUS "body substring"`.
+- `asserts-db-rows="posts=3"` — optional. SQLite query `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <table>` must equal N. Multiple tables separated by commas.
+- `title="..."` — ignored by harness, consumed by Starlight.
+
+`{test:cli step=N}` block semantics:
+- Already supported by the existing cli driver. The orchestrator routes step-numbered cli blocks through the shared fixture instead of creating a fresh one per block. Asserts already supported: `asserts-stdout`, `asserts-stderr`, `asserts-output`, `asserts-exit`.
+
+Fixture lifecycle:
+- Fixture root: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/fixtures/blog-tutorial/`.
+- Gitignored.
+- On each `pnpm verify:docs` run that includes any tutorial file: the driver *resets* the fixture by deleting it and re-running `wheels new blog-tutorial --no-open-browser`. Deterministic and isolated across runs.
+- Server lifecycle: for `asserts-http`, the driver boots `wheels server start` on a free port once per run, tears it down at the end. One server, many requests.
+
+Wall-time budget: fresh `wheels new` (~1.5s) + migration runs (~300ms each, N of them) + server start (~3-5s) + ~150 HTTP asserts (~10ms each) + server stop. Target: ≤90s for the full 7-part tutorial.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing unit test for tutorial-fixture lifecycle**
+
+Create `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/test/tutorial.test.mjs`:
+
+```js
+import { test } from 'node:test';
+import { strict as assert } from 'node:assert';

+
+The block body is written to `file` inside the tutorial's shared fixture app
+at step N. The fixture is one long-lived `blog-tutorial` app reset at the
+start of each harness run; all tutorial blocks (from all tutorial files) and
+all `{test:cli step=N}` blocks see the same fixture state in cumulative
+step order.
+
+Required attrs:
+
+- `step=N` — integer ordinal. Lower N runs first within a file; tie-break by
+  file line.
+- `file="relative/path"` — path inside the fixture (relative to the app
+  root). Paths that escape the fixture root are rejected.
+
+Optional attrs:
+
+- `mode="write"` (default) — write the body, clobbering any existing file.
+- `mode="append"` — append the body to the existing file.
+- `asserts-http="METHOD PATH → STATUS"` — after the file is written, boot the
+  app server (once per run) and hit this URL, asserting the status code.
+- `asserts-http="METHOD PATH → STATUS \"body substring\""` — also asserts the
+  response body contains the substring.
+- `asserts-db-rows="table1=N,table2=M"` — after the file is written, assert
+  `SELECT COUNT(*)` equals N for each table.
+
+Ordering across files is by (frontmatter sidebar.order, step, file line).

+- [ ] **Step 21: Commit tutorial driver**
+
+```bash

+git commit -m "feat(docs): tutorial driver for cumulative blog-tutorial fixture"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Compile driver + re-tag existing sample pages
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/drivers/compile.mjs` (replace stub)
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/test/compile.test.mjs`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/verify-docs.mjs` (register compile driver)
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/01-hello-wheels.mdx` (re-tag CFC blocks)
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/sending-email.mdx` (re-tag CFC blocks)
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/VALIDATION.md` (mark compile stable, document fallback)
+
+**Design summary:**
+
+`wheels cfml '<body>'` takes an arbitrary CFML expression or script. With LuCLI PR #1 landed, a compile/runtime failure exits 1. The compile driver:
+1. Takes the block body.
+2. If the block starts with `component`, wraps it for parse-only-ish execution (`writeOutput("ok");` after the closing brace is a workaround to force parse-through without instantiation).
+3. Otherwise wraps as a script body.
+4. Invokes `wheels cfml '<wrapped>'`.
+5. Pass if exit 0. Fail if exit 1.
+
+**Fallback for pre-PR-#1 environments:** detect whether the installed `wheels cfml 'throw()'` exits non-zero. If it always exits 0, fall back to a pattern-match validator that checks for:
+- Unbalanced `{` / `}` / `(` / `)` in the body
+- Known anti-pattern: mixed argument styles (positional + named in one call) — skip this; too error-prone to detect reliably.
+
+The fallback is deliberately minimal — its job is to catch the most obvious typos. The real check is the post-PR-#1 mode. Cache the mode-detection result across the harness run (one probe per invocation).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing test for exit-code detection**
+
+Create `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/test/compile.test.mjs`:
+
+```js
+import { test } from 'node:test';
+import { strict as assert } from 'node:assert';
+import { runCompile, detectMode } from '../drivers/compile.mjs';
+
+const TIMEOUT = 60_000;
+
+test('detectMode returns "native" when wheels cfml returns non-zero on failure', { timeout: TIMEOUT }, async () => {
+  const mode = await detectMode();
+  assert.ok(mode === 'native' || mode === 'fallback', `unexpected mode: ${mode}`);
+});
+
+test('runCompile passes a valid CFC block', { timeout: TIMEOUT }, async () => {
+  const result = await runCompile({
+    file: 'test:inline',
+    line: 1,
+    language: 'cfm',
+    kind: 'compile',
+    attrs: {},
+    body: 'component extends="Model" { function config() { validatesPresenceOf("title"); } }',
+  });
+  assert.equal(result.ok, true, `compile failed: ${result.message ?? ''}`);
+});
+
+test('runCompile fails on syntactically invalid CFML', { timeout: TIMEOUT }, async () => {
+  const result = await runCompile({
+    file: 'test:inline',
+    line: 1,
+    language: 'cfm',
+    kind: 'compile',
+    attrs: {},
+    body: 'component { function broken( { }',
+  });
+  assert.equal(result.ok, false);
+});
+
+test('runCompile passes a valid script snippet', { timeout: TIMEOUT }, async () => {
+  const result = await runCompile({
+    file: 'test:inline',
+    line: 1,
+    language: 'cfm',
+    kind: 'compile',
+    attrs: {},
+    body: 'x = 1 + 2; writeOutput(x);',
+  });
+  assert.equal(result.ok, true, `compile failed: ${result.message ?? ''}`);
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to confirm failure**
+
+```bash
+cd web/sites/guides
+pnpm test:docs-harness -- --test-name-pattern=detectMode\\|runCompile
+```
+
+Expected: failure — `detectMode` / `runCompile` not exported (stub still in place).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement compile driver**
+
+Replace `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/drivers/compile.mjs`:
+
+```js
+import { runExec } from '../lib/exec.mjs';
+
+let _mode = null;
+
+export async function detectMode() {
+  if (_mode) return _mode;
+  const probe = await runExec('wheels', ['cfml', 'throw(message="probe")']);
+  _mode = probe.code === 0 ? 'fallback' : 'native';
+  return _mode;
+}
+
+function balanced(body) {
+  const pairs = { '(': ')', '{': '}', '[': ']' };
+  const stack = [];
+  let inStr = false;
+  let strCh = '';
+  let inLineComment = false;
+  let inBlockComment = false;
+  for (let i = 0; i < body.length; i++) {
+    const c = body[i];
+    const nx = body[i + 1];
+    if (inLineComment) {
+      if (c === '\n') inLineComment = false;
+      continue;
+    }
+    if (inBlockComment) {
+      if (c === '*' && nx === '/') { inBlockComment = false; i++; }
+      continue;
+    }
+    if (inStr) {
+      if (c === '\\') { i++; continue; }
+      if (c === strCh) inStr = false;
+      continue;
+    }
+    if (c === '"' || c === "'") { inStr = true; strCh = c; continue; }
+    if (c === '/' && nx === '/') { inLineComment = true; i++; continue; }
+    if (c === '/' && nx === '*') { inBlockComment = true; i++; continue; }
+    if (pairs[c]) stack.push(pairs[c]);
+    else if (Object.values(pairs).includes(c)) {
+      if (stack.pop() !== c) return false;
+    }
+  }
+  return stack.length === 0;
+}
+
+async function runNative(body) {
+  // Try body as-is first (works for script fragments).
+  const direct = await runExec('wheels', ['cfml', body]);
+  if (direct.code === 0) return { ok: true };
+  // If body starts with `component`, wrap to force instantiation attempt.
+  if (/^\s*component\b/.test(body)) {
+    const wrapped = `savecontent variable="_"{ include template="ram:///compile-probe.cfc"; } writeOutput("ok");`;
+    // Can't easily do filesystem mounts from here; accept that component
+    // bodies rely on the direct test above. If `wheels cfml` can't parse a
+    // bare component, treat that as a compile failure.
+  }
+  return {
+    ok: false,
+    message: `wheels cfml exited ${direct.code}\n--- stderr ---\n${direct.stderr}\n--- stdout ---\n${direct.stdout}`,
+  };
+}
+
+function runFallback(body) {
+  if (!balanced(body)) {
+    return { ok: false, message: 'fallback: unbalanced brackets/braces/parens' };
+  }
+  return { ok: true };
+}
+
+export async function runCompile(example) {
+  const mode = await detectMode();
+  if (mode === 'native') return await runNative(example.body);
+  return runFallback(example.body);
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run compile tests**
+
+```bash
+cd web/sites/guides
+pnpm test:docs-harness -- --test-name-pattern=runCompile\\|detectMode
+```
+
+Expected: 4 tests pass (regardless of whether LuCLI PR #1 has merged).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Wire compile driver into verify-docs.mjs**
+
+Modify `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/verify-docs.mjs`. Inside the `perBlock.map` callback, change:
+
+```js
+const perBlockResults = await Promise.all(perBlock.map(async (ex) => {
+    if (ex.kind === 'cli') return { ...ex, ...(await runCli(ex)) };
+    return { ...ex, ok: false, message: `no driver for kind "${ex.kind}"` };
+}));
+```
+
+…to:
+
+```js
+import { runCompile } from './drivers/compile.mjs';
+// …
+const perBlockResults = await Promise.all(perBlock.map(async (ex) => {
+    if (ex.kind === 'cli') return { ...ex, ...(await runCli(ex)) };
+    if (ex.kind === 'compile') return { ...ex, ...(await runCompile(ex)) };
+    return { ...ex, ok: false, message: `no driver for kind "${ex.kind}"` };
+}));
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Re-tag existing sample pages**
+
+Modify `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/01-hello-wheels.mdx`:
+
+Find the CFC block at lines ~116-121 currently tagged `title="app/controllers/Home.cfc"`. Replace with:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {}
+    function hello() {}
+}
+```
+
+(Keep Starlight-visible title via a separate code block annotation if needed; the `{test:compile}` meta replaces the `title="..."` for the harness. Remove the existing `title="app/controllers/Home.cfc"` and reintroduce it via a preceding prose "Create `app/controllers/Home.cfc`:" line.)
+
+Do the same for the view block at ~127-128 (`app/views/home/hello.cfm`) — it's a tiny HTML block; mark it `{test:compile}`.
+
+Modify `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/sending-email.mdx`:
+
+The four CFC-style blocks at ~27-34 (`settings.cfm`), ~48-56 (`WelcomeMailer.cfc`), ~62-67 (`welcome.cfm`), and ~71-83 (`Users.cfc`) all currently have `title="..."` only. Change each to `{test:compile}` — they should all parse against a bare `wheels cfml` invocation, and the prose above each block already names the target file path.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run verify-docs against the re-tagged pages**
+
+```bash
+cd web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/01-hello-wheels.mdx \
+                 src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/sending-email.mdx
+```
+
+Expected: "N passed, 0 failed" where N is the count of re-tagged blocks (plus the 2 pre-existing cli blocks).
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Update VALIDATION.md**
+
+Modify `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/VALIDATION.md`. Replace the `{test:compile}` section with:
+
+````markdown
+## `{test:compile}`
+
+The body is handed to `wheels cfml <body>`. Pass if exit code 0. Fail if
+non-zero. Requires [LuCLI PR #1](https://github.com/lucee/lucli/pull/TBD)
+which makes `wheels cfml` exit non-zero on execution failures.
+
+On older LuCLI versions (where `wheels cfml` always exits 0), the driver
+falls back to a pattern-match validator — currently just bracket balance.
+The mode is detected once per harness run.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+  function config() {
+    validatesPresenceOf("title");
+  }
+}
+```
+````
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit compile driver + re-tags**
+
+```bash
+git add web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/drivers/compile.mjs \
+        web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/test/compile.test.mjs \

+title: Welcome to Wheels
+description: A quick orientation to Wheels, CFML, and how these guides are organized.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+```
+
+Required sections:
+1. **Opening** — 1-sentence summary + 3-line "You'll learn" block. Assumptions aside in `<Aside type="note">`.
+2. **What Wheels is** — 2-3 short paragraphs. Full-stack MVC for CFML. Convention over configuration. Postgres/MySQL/MS SQL/SQLite support. Inspired by Rails but its own thing.
+3. **Who these guides are for** — explicit audience declaration. Primary: developers new to Wheels (often new to CFML) coming from Rails/Laravel/Django. Secondary: existing Wheels users upgrading from 3.x. Not for: framework contributors (→ CONTRIBUTING.md) or method-by-method API reference (→ api.wheels.dev).
+4. **How these guides are organized** — overview of Diátaxis split:
+    - Start Here → orientation + tutorial
+    - Core Concepts → explanations
+    - The Basics + Digging Deeper → task-oriented how-tos
+    - Testing, Deployment → operational how-tos
+    - CLI Reference, Glossary → lookup
+5. **The fastest path in** — `<CardGrid>` with 3 cards: Install · First 15 Minutes · Tutorial.
+6. **See also** — link block with Why Wheels?, Core Concepts, CLI Reference.
+
+Constraints:
+- No code blocks (concept page, orientation only).
+- No marketing adjectives ("powerful", "robust"). Describe what the feature does.
+- Second person throughout.
+- Components allowed: `<Aside>`, `<CardGrid>`, `<Card>`, `<LinkCard>`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create the page file**
+
+Create `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/welcome.mdx` following the specification above. Expected length: ~80-120 lines of MDX.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run verify-docs on the new page**
+
+```bash
+cd web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/welcome.mdx
+```
+
+Expected: "0 passed, 0 failed" (no `{test:*}` blocks in a concept page). Exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run astro build to confirm it renders**
+
+```bash
+cd web/sites/guides
+pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -10

+
+Expected: build succeeds, page count goes from 266 → 267.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Self-review against STYLE.md**
+
+Re-read [STYLE.md](../../web/sites/guides/STYLE.md) and check:
+- Voice (second person, no marketing copy) ✓
+- "You'll learn" block present ✓
+- Audience assumptions declared ✓
+- No headings deeper than `###` ✓
+- No emojis ✓
+- Internal links use registry-style paths `/v4-0-0-snapshot/...` ✓

+title: Why Wheels?
+description: A head-to-head comparison of Wheels with Rails, Laravel, and Django.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+```
+
+Required sections:
+1. **Opening** — 1-sentence summary + "You'll learn" block. Assumption aside: basic familiarity with at least one of Rails, Laravel, or Django.
+2. **What CFML is (briefly)** — 2 short paragraphs. Server-side scripting language, Java-hosted, mature (22+ years), two active engines (Lucee open-source + Adobe ColdFusion commercial). Syntax is like JavaScript + Ruby's readability. Critical point: CFML is not ColdFusion-the-product; Wheels runs on Lucee (open source, free).
+3. **What Wheels is relative to Rails** — table or prose comparison. Similarities (ActiveRecord-style ORM, convention-over-config, opinionated scaffold). Differences (CFML vs Ruby runtime; built-in `wheels` CLI wrapping LuCLI; Turbo via `wheels-hotwire` package vs Rails' bundled Hotwire).
+4. **What Wheels is relative to Laravel** — similar comparison. Eloquent analog is Wheels `Model`; Blade analog is `.cfm` views; Artisan analog is `wheels` CLI; Livewire has no direct analog (but Turbo Frames fill the same niche).
+5. **What Wheels is relative to Django** — differences are starker: Wheels is ActiveRecord (models carry behavior), Django is DataMapper (views + serializers + ORM split). Wheels has no admin panel generator; use `wheels generate admin ModelName` for a scaffolded one.
+6. **When Wheels is a bad choice** — honest limits: GraphQL-heavy APIs, realtime-first apps (SSE works but WebSockets are bolt-on), cloud-native serverless (CFML is JVM-hosted, cold starts are slow).
+7. **When Wheels shines** — database-heavy line-of-business apps, teams with existing CFML/Java infrastructure, apps where "scaffold + ship" speed matters more than cutting-edge runtime features.
+8. **See also** — link block with Welcome, Installing, Tutorial.
+
+Constraints:
+- No code blocks. Comparisons are prose + tables.
+- Comparisons must be specific (name the framework's feature), not vague.
+- No "Wheels is best" language. State facts; let the reader decide.
+- Components: `<Aside>`, `<Tabs>` (per-framework tabs for the comparisons).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create page per spec**
+
+Length: ~200-300 lines.

+
+Expected: success, 268 pages.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Self-review against STYLE.md**

+title: Installing Wheels
+description: Install the wheels CLI on macOS, Windows, or Linux.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+```
+
+Required sections:
+1. **Opening** — 1-sentence summary + "You'll learn" block. Assumption aside: Java 21+ is required (link out to adoptium.net).
+2. **Prerequisites** — Java 21+. Show the check command as a `{test:cli cmd="java -version"}` if the harness can run it on the CI platform; otherwise illustrative.
+3. **macOS** — `<Tabs>` inside `<Steps>`:
+    ```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+    brew tap wheels-dev/wheels
+    brew install wheels
+    wheels --version
+    ```
+    (Note: the first two lines are illustrative since the CI runner has wheels pre-installed; only `wheels --version` is tested. Verify this is true by running the task — in CI, the workflow pre-installs wheels via brew. The test block runs only the `wheels --version` line.)
+4. **Windows** — `<Steps>` with `choco install wheels` + verify. Blocks are illustrative (no Windows CI runner).
+5. **Linux** — `<Steps>` with install script (`curl -fsSL https://get.wheels.dev/install.sh | sh`) + verify. Illustrative (unless a Linux CI path is added mid-Phase-1; Phase 0 report flags this).
+6. **Verify** — one shared verification section:
+    ```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+    wheels --version
+    ```
+7. **Upgrading** — `brew upgrade wheels` / `choco upgrade wheels` / re-run install script.
+8. **Troubleshooting** — three common failure modes:
+    - `wheels: command not found` — PATH issue, platform-specific fixes
+    - `Error: unable to find Java runtime` — install Java 21+
+    - `brew: cask 'wheels' has no formulae to install from` — tap not added
+9. **Related guides** — CardGrid linking First 15 Minutes, Tutorial Part 1, Upgrading Wheels.
+
+Constraints:
+- Every test-tagged block must work against the installed `wheels` CLI.
+- Use `<Tabs>` for OS switching.
+- Commands per OS must be real (verify against homebrew/chocolatey/get.wheels.dev — the current Phase 0 work noted "`wheels-dev/wheels` tap confirmed real"; use that exact tap name).
+

+description: Zero-to-running-page in fifteen minutes. No concepts explained — just get something working.
+type: tutorial
+sidebar:

+---
+```
+
+Required sections:
+1. **Opening** — 1-sentence summary. "You'll learn" block: install confidence, scaffold a page, see it in the browser. Assumption aside: you've installed wheels.
+2. **Step 1 (3 min): Create an app**
+    ```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+    wheels new hello
+    cd hello
+    ```
+    (Harness runs `wheels new` inside the cli driver's fixture anyway; the explicit `wheels new hello` line in the doc is illustrative since the cli driver doesn't persist across blocks. Use `{test:cli cmd="wheels --version"}` as the verification block.)
+3. **Step 2 (2 min): Start the server** — illustrative `wheels server start`.
+4. **Step 3 (5 min): Add a page** — three sub-steps:
+    - Add route to `config/routes.cfm`
+    - Add controller action
+    - Add view
+   Each shown with a CFC/CFM block tagged `{test:compile}`.
+5. **Step 4 (2 min): Reload and verify** — illustrative `wheels reload` + `curl`.
+6. **Step 5 (3 min): What just happened** — 3-paragraph explainer linking to Core Concepts pages. No new code.
+7. **Where to next** — CardGrid: Tutorial Part 1 · Core Concepts · CLI Reference.
+
+Constraints:
+- Keep it fast: a reader MUST be able to finish in 15 minutes.
+- No "optional" detours.
+- Every non-illustrative block tagged for the harness.
+- No Troubleshooting section — Tutorial Part 1 has one; this page is meant to be skim-level.

+## Task 7: Tutorial index + Part 1 resume-banner backfill
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/index.mdx`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/01-hello-wheels.mdx` (add "Where we left off" section — since Part 1 is the first, this is a "Starting point" blurb that introduces the cumulative-fixture model)
+
+**Tutorial index page specification:**
+
+Type: `tutorial`.
+
+Frontmatter:
+```yaml
+---
+title: "Tutorial: Build a Blog"
+description: A 7-part narrative tutorial. Build a complete Wheels 4.0 blog with Turbo, Basecoat, and built-in auth. Takes about 3.5 hours.
+type: tutorial
+sidebar:
+  order: 5
+---
+```
+
+Required sections:
+1. **Opening** — What you'll build (a blog with posts, comments, auth), what you need (installed `wheels`, a text editor, ~3.5h).
+2. **What you'll build** — screenshot or description of final state: post index, single post view with comments, signup/login, admin's own post editing.
+3. **Technologies you'll use** — bullet list: CFML + Lucee 7, SQLite, Turbo Drive/Frames/Streams, Basecoat UI, built-in authentication.
+4. **Parts overview** — 7-row table: part, topic, time estimate.
+5. **Cross-cutting conventions** — 3-paragraph explainer:
+    - SQLite throughout, zero setup.
+    - "Where we left off" resume banner at top of each part — FileTree + DB schema summary.
+    - Checkpoint + Troubleshooting at bottom of each part.
+6. **Part CardGrid** — 7 `<LinkCard>` entries, one per part.
+
+**Part 1 backfill:**
+
+Add a "Where we left off" section right after the opening `<Aside>`:
+
+```markdown
+## Where we left off
+
+This is Part 1 — you're starting with nothing. By the end you'll have a
+working Wheels app responding to `/hello`. Each subsequent part begins with
+a file tree and schema summary so you can resume without reading Part N-1.
+```
+
+Constraints:
+- Use `<LinkCard>` for all 7 parts. 6 of them will be broken links until their respective tasks land — that's fine, Starlight renders them anyway.
+- The index itself has no tagged code blocks; Parts 2-7 are the ones with cumulative harness blocks.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create the tutorial index page**
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add "Where we left off" backfill to Part 1**
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Modify sidebar to add tutorial index link**
+
+Modify `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json` — the existing tutorial entry already points at `/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/`. No change needed; Starlight will pick up the new index.mdx.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: verify-docs + build**
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/
+git commit -m "docs(docs): tutorial index + part 1 resume banner"

+## Task 8: Tutorial Part 2 — First Model
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/02-first-model.mdx`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json` — add Part 2 under tutorial items
+
+**Coverage per spec Part 2 (≈20 min):**
+
+Frontmatter:
+```yaml
+---
+title: "Part 2: Your First Model"
+description: Generate a Post model, run a migration, seed sample posts, and build the index/show actions by hand.
+type: tutorial
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+```
+
+(Note: `sidebar.order: 2` places it second under the tutorial sub-group. The tutorial index is order 5 at the Start Here level.)
+
+Required sections:
+1. **Opening** — 1-sentence summary + "You'll learn" (generators, migrations, seeds, finders).
+2. **Where we left off** — FileTree showing Part 1 state + note "no database yet".
+3. **Generate the Post model** — explain what the generator does:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=10 cmd="wheels generate model Post title:string body:text status:enum publishedAt:datetime"}
+    wheels generate model Post title:string body:text status:enum publishedAt:datetime
+    ```
+   Then show the generated files briefly.
+4. **Anatomy of a migration** — open the generated `app/migrator/migrations/NNN_CreatePosts.cfc`; explain `t.string`, `t.text`, `t.integer("status")` (because enums are stored as integers), `t.datetime`, `t.timestamps()`. Show the actual generated content as `{test:tutorial step=11 file="app/migrator/migrations/..."}` with the known-good migration body (note: migration filename has a timestamp prefix — use a stable fixed filename for tagging).
+5. **Run the migration**:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=12 cmd="wheels dbmigrate latest" asserts-stdout="Migrating up"}
+    wheels dbmigrate latest
+    ```
+6. **Configure the enum and validations**:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=13 file="app/models/Post.cfc"}
+    component extends="Model" {
+        function config() {
+            enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
+            validatesPresenceOf("title,body");
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+7. **Seeds** — explain `seedOnce()`:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=14 file="app/db/seeds.cfm"}
+    seedOnce(modelName="Post", uniqueProperties="title", properties={
+        title: "Hello world",
+        body: "My first Wheels post.",
+        status: "published",
+        publishedAt: Now()
+    });
+    seedOnce(modelName="Post", uniqueProperties="title", properties={
+        title: "Learning Wheels",
+        body: "Working through the tutorial.",
+        status: "published",
+        publishedAt: Now()
+    });
+    ```
+8. **Run the seed**:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=15 cmd="wheels db:seed" asserts-output="seeded"}
+    wheels db:seed
+    ```
+9. **Build the Posts controller by hand** (index + show — no scaffold yet, so readers build the mental model):
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=16 file="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function index() {
+            posts = model("Post").published().findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+        }
+        function show() {
+            post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+   Explain the enum-scope (`published()`) auto-generated by the enum declaration.
+10. **Add routes**:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=17 file="config/routes.cfm"}
+    mapper()
+        .resources(name="posts", only="index,show")
+        .get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="home##hello")
+        .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+        .wildcard()
+    .end();
+    ```
+11. **Write the index view**:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=18 file="app/views/posts/index.cfm"}
+    <cfparam name="posts" default="">
+    <h1>Posts</h1>
+    <cfloop query="posts">
+        <article>
+            <h2>#linkTo(route="post", key=posts.id, text=posts.title)#</h2>
+            <p>#posts.body#</p>
+        </article>
+    </cfloop>
+    ```
+12. **Write the show view**:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=19 file="app/views/posts/show.cfm"}
+    <cfparam name="post" default="">
+    <h1>#post.title#</h1>
+    <p>#post.body#</p>
+    <p>#linkTo(route="posts", text="← all posts")#</p>
+    ```
+13. **Checkpoint** — harness-executable:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=20 cmd="wheels reload"}
+    wheels reload
+    ```
+    Then a tutorial block with `asserts-http` to confirm the app serves `/posts` and `/posts/1`:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=21 file="app/controllers/Posts.cfc" mode="write" asserts-http="GET /posts → 200 \"Hello world\""}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function index() {
+            posts = model("Post").published().findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+        }
+        function show() {
+            post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+    (Same body as step 16 — this is a write-no-op that triggers the HTTP assert. Alternatively: `asserts-http` could be attached to an earlier `{test:tutorial}` at step 16 if the server is guaranteed reloaded between step 18 and step 21. Prefer the explicit reload-then-assert pattern for clarity.)
+14. **Troubleshooting** — 3 failure modes:
+    - "Data source wheelstestdb not found" → migration didn't run
+    - "model 'Post' is undefined" → wheels reload missed
+    - "no rows" → seed didn't run; check `wheels db:seed` output
+
+Step ordering: use step=10 through step=21 for Part 2 to leave slack before and after. Part 1 has no tutorial steps (covered by Part 7's "build up from scratch" assumption); Part 2 can start at step=10.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create the page per spec, with all harness tags**
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add Part 2 to sidebar**
+
+Modify `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json` — add to the tutorial items array:
+
+```json
+{ "label": "2. Your First Model", "link": "/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/02-first-model/" }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the full tutorial driver against Parts 1-2**
+
+```bash
+cd web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/
+```
+
+Expected: the harness boots the fixture, walks steps 1-21, all pass. Duration ~60-90s.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Fix any failures**
+
+Common failure modes to expect:
+- Enum column type wrong (expected `integer`, got `string` from the generator) — adjust generator invocation or migration.
+- Seed data not showing due to enum string vs integer confusion — check Post model enum mapping.
+- Route ordering — `resources` before `root` before `wildcard`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/02-first-model.mdx \

+## Task 9: Tutorial Part 3 — CRUD Scaffold + Turbo Drive
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/03-crud-scaffold.mdx`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`
+
+**Coverage per spec Part 3 (≈25 min):**
+
+Key narrative: delete the hand-rolled controller + views from Part 2, run `wheels generate scaffold Post ...`, and show that the Basecoat-styled forms + Turbo-Drive views emit a full CRUD flow that feels SPA-ish with zero page flash.
+
+Steps (using step=30+ for Part 3):
+1. "Where we left off" — FileTree including `app/models/Post.cfc`, `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`, views, migration, 2 seed rows.
+2. Delete Part 2's hand-built files:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=30 cmd="wheels destroy controller Posts"}
+    wheels destroy controller Posts
+    ```
+    (If `wheels destroy` doesn't handle this, manually delete via `{test:tutorial file="..." mode="write"}` writing an empty placeholder — TBD, check available CLI.)
+3. Run the scaffold generator:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=31 cmd="wheels generate scaffold Post title:string body:text status:enum"}
+    wheels generate scaffold Post title:string body:text status:enum
+    ```
+4. Tour every generated file — controller actions (`index`/`show`/`new`/`create`/`edit`/`update`/`delete`), views (`index`/`show`/`new`/`edit`/`_form`), routes entry. Show the content of each with `title="..."` (illustrative — don't re-tag as tutorial since the scaffold generator writes them directly).
+5. Explain route model binding — `params.post` already resolved in `show`/`edit`/`update`/`delete` actions.
+6. Show Turbo Drive in action — navigate from index to new-post form; no page flash. Screenshot placeholder.
+7. Checkpoint:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=32 cmd="wheels reload"}
+    wheels reload
+    ```
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=33 file="config/routes.cfm" mode="write" asserts-http="GET /posts → 200"}
+    mapper()
+        .resources("posts")
+        .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+        .wildcard()
+    .end();
+    ```
+    (Scaffold generator will have already emitted `.resources("posts")` — this is a safety overwrite before the HTTP assert.)
+8. Troubleshooting — 3 failure modes:
+    - Basecoat styles not loaded → `vendor/basecoat` missing; re-run `wheels new` or activate package
+    - 404 on `/posts/new` → route order; scaffold entries must precede `.wildcard()`
+    - Form submission returns HTML string instead of redirect → Turbo Drive needs `data-turbo="true"` on body (Basecoat layout handles this)

+## Task 10: Tutorial Part 4 — Validations + Turbo Frames
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/04-validations-frames.mdx`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`
+
+**Coverage per spec Part 4 (≈30 min):**
+
+Key narrative: the "whoa" moment. Wrap the scaffold's form in `<turbo-frame>`; validation errors come back inline without a page reload. Auto-generated enum scopes filter the index.
+
+Steps (step=40-50):
+1. "Where we left off" — post model exists, scaffold views exist, 2 posts seeded.
+2. Add validations:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=40 file="app/models/Post.cfc"}
+    component extends="Model" {
+        function config() {
+            enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
+            validatesPresenceOf("title,body");
+            validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120);
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+3. Wrap the scaffold's form partial in a turbo-frame:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=41 file="app/views/posts/_form.cfm"}
+    <turbo-frame id="post_form">
+        <cfoutput>
+            #errorMessagesFor("post")#
+            #startFormTag(route="posts")#
+                <label>Title #textField(objectName="post", property="title")#</label>
+                <label>Body #textArea(objectName="post", property="body")#</label>
+                <label>Status #select(objectName="post", property="status", options="draft,published,archived")#</label>
+                <button type="submit">Save</button>
+            #endFormTag()#
+        </cfoutput>
+    </turbo-frame>
+    ```
+4. Modify `create()` to render the form partial back when invalid — so Turbo replaces only the frame:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=42 file="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function index() {
+            posts = model("Post").published().findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+        }
+        function show() {}
+        function new() { post = model("Post").new(); }
+        function create() {
+            post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+            if (post.save()) {
+                redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+            } else {
+                renderPartial("form");
+            }
+        }
+        function edit() {}
+        function update() {
+            if (params.post.update(params.post)) {
+                redirectTo(route="post", key=params.post.id);
+            } else {
+                renderPartial("form");
+            }
+        }
+        function delete() {
+            params.post.delete();
+            redirectTo(route="posts");
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+    (Note: params.post is route-model-bound from `resources("posts")` — verify this works in the fixture. If not, use `findByKey(params.key)` explicitly.)
+5. Add "Publish" / "Save as Draft" buttons:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=43 file="app/views/posts/_form.cfm" mode="append"}
+    
+    <cfoutput>
+        <button type="submit" name="post[status]" value="draft">Save Draft</button>
+        <button type="submit" name="post[status]" value="published">Publish</button>
+    </cfoutput>
+    ```
+6. Filter index to exclude drafts from public view (already done — `.published()` scope).
+7. Show in a separate view that admins see all:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=44 file="app/views/posts/admin.cfm"}
+    <cfparam name="posts" default="">
+    <h1>All Posts (admin)</h1>
+    <cfloop query="posts">
+        #posts.title# — #posts.status#
+    </cfloop>
+    ```
+8. Checkpoint — harness asserts that posting an invalid form returns the partial with error messages:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=45 cmd="wheels reload"}
+    wheels reload
+    ```
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=46 file="config/routes.cfm" mode="write" asserts-http="POST /posts → 422"}
+    mapper()
+        .resources("posts")
+        .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+        .wildcard()
+    .end();
+    ```
+    (422 is Wheels' default for invalid form POST when rendering a partial back. If it's a different status — 200 with a Turbo-Stream response, depending on Wheels 4.0's Turbo integration — adjust the assert accordingly.)
+9. Troubleshooting:
+    - Form reloads the whole page instead of only the frame → missing `<turbo-frame>` wrapper or Turbo Drive not loaded
+    - Validation errors don't appear → `errorMessagesFor()` not called or partial not wrapping the error region
+    - 500 on POST → route to the wrong action; check `resources("posts")` generated a POST /posts
+

+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/05-comments-streams.mdx`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`
+
+**Coverage per spec Part 5 (≈35 min):**
+
+Steps (step=50-65):
+1. "Where we left off" — post CRUD works, validations inline.
+2. Generate Comment model:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=50 cmd="wheels generate model Comment postId:integer author:string body:text"}
+    wheels generate model Comment postId:integer author:string body:text
+    ```
+3. Run migration:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=51 cmd="wheels dbmigrate latest" asserts-stdout="Migrating up"}
+    wheels dbmigrate latest
+    ```
+4. Wire associations — Comment belongsTo Post, Post hasMany Comments:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=52 file="app/models/Comment.cfc"}
+    component extends="Model" {
+        function config() {
+            belongsTo(name="post");
+            validatesPresenceOf("author,body");
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=53 file="app/models/Post.cfc"}
+    component extends="Model" {
+        function config() {
+            enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
+            hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
+            validatesPresenceOf("title,body");
+            validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120);
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+5. Nested routes via callback syntax:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=54 file="config/routes.cfm"}
+    mapper()
+        .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) {
+            map.resources(name="comments", only="create");
+        })
+        .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+        .wildcard()
+    .end();
+    ```
+6. Generate comments controller:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=55 cmd="wheels generate controller Comments create"}
+    wheels generate controller Comments create
+    ```
+7. Implement create with Turbo Stream response:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=56 file="app/controllers/Comments.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function create() {
+            post = model("Post").findByKey(params.postId);
+            comment = post.createComment(params.comment);
+            if (comment.hasErrors()) {
+                renderPartial(partial="form", layout=false);
+            } else {
+                renderPartial(partial="comment", comment=comment, layout=false);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+8. Show view with comments + form:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=57 file="app/views/posts/show.cfm"}
+    <cfparam name="post" default="">
+    <h1>#post.title#</h1>
+    <p>#post.body#</p>
+    <section id="comments">
+        <h2>Comments</h2>
+        <cfloop query="post.comments()">
+            <turbo-frame id="comment_#post.comments.id#">
+                <p><strong>#post.comments.author#</strong>: #post.comments.body#</p>
+            </turbo-frame>
+        </cfloop>
+    </section>
+    <turbo-frame id="new_comment">
+        #renderPartial("comments/form", post=post)#
+    </turbo-frame>
+    ```
+9. Comments form partial:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=58 file="app/views/comments/_form.cfm"}
+    <cfoutput>
+        #startFormTag(route="postComments", postKey=post.id)#
+            <input name="comment[author]" placeholder="Your name">
+            <textarea name="comment[body]" placeholder="Your comment"></textarea>
+            <button type="submit">Post comment</button>
+        #endFormTag()#
+    </cfoutput>
+    ```
+10. Update index to avoid N+1:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=59 file="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function index() {
+            posts = model("Post").published().findAll(include="comments", order="publishedAt DESC");
+        }
+        function show() {}
+        function new() { post = model("Post").new(); }
+        function create() {
+            post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+            if (post.save()) { redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id); }
+            else { renderPartial("form"); }
+        }
+        function edit() {}
+        function update() {
+            if (params.post.update(params.post)) { redirectTo(route="post", key=params.post.id); }
+            else { renderPartial("form"); }
+        }
+        function delete() {
+            params.post.delete();
+            redirectTo(route="posts");
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+11. Checkpoint — comment POST succeeds and cascading delete works:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=60 cmd="wheels reload"}
+    wheels reload
+    ```
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=61 file="config/routes.cfm" mode="write" asserts-http="GET /posts/1 → 200"}
+    mapper()
+        .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) {
+            map.resources(name="comments", only="create");
+        })
+        .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+        .wildcard()
+    .end();
+    ```
+    Additionally, an HTTP POST test would assert `POST /posts/1/comments` → 200 and that comments row count increments. Add an extra step=62 tutorial block with `asserts-http="POST /posts/1/comments → 200"` and `asserts-db-rows="comments=1"` — note that the POST needs form body, which `fetch()` can do. (If the driver doesn't support body injection yet, the `asserts-http` parser needs extending — leave that as a known gap and rely on the GET assertion only for Phase 1.)
+12. Troubleshooting:
+    - Nested route 404 → nested resource inside non-callback syntax
+    - `post.createComment` not found → Comment model's `belongsTo(name="post")` + Post model's `hasMany(name="comments")` mismatch (name must match)
+    - N+1 queries → missing `include="comments"` in index finder

+## Task 12: Tutorial Part 6 — Authentication (6a hand-rolled + 6b built-in)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/06-authentication.mdx`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`
+
+**Coverage per spec Part 6 (≈45 min, 6a + 6b):**
+
+This is the longest part. Structure:
+- Intro (3 min)
+- 6a: Roll Your Own (25 min) — teaches mental model
+- 6b: The Built-in Way (20 min) — shortcut reveal
+- Compare results, checkpoint, troubleshooting
+
+Steps (step=70-90 for 6a, step=91-99 for 6b):
+
+**Part 6a (Roll Your Own):**
+1. Generate User model:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=70 cmd="wheels generate model User email:string passwordHash:string"}
+    wheels generate model User email:string passwordHash:string
+    ```
+2. Run migration:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=71 cmd="wheels dbmigrate latest" asserts-stdout="Migrating up"}
+    wheels dbmigrate latest
+    ```
+3. User model with BCrypt via `beforeSave`:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=72 file="app/models/User.cfc"}
+    component extends="Model" {
+        function config() {
+            validatesPresenceOf("email");
+            validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
+            beforeSave("hashPassword");
+        }
+        private function hashPassword() {
+            if (StructKeyExists(this, "password") && Len(this.password)) {
+                this.passwordHash = hashBCrypt(this.password);
+                StructDelete(this, "password");
+            }
+        }
+        public boolean function authenticate(required string password) {
+            return verifyBCrypt(arguments.password, this.passwordHash);
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+    (Note: `hashBCrypt`/`verifyBCrypt` — verify exact function names in Wheels 4.0; may be `bcryptHash`/`bcryptVerify` or similar. Update to the actual names.)
+4. Generate sessions controller by hand:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=73 file="app/controllers/Sessions.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function new() {}
+        function create() {
+            user = model("User").findOne(where="email = '#params.session.email#'");
+            if (IsObject(user) && user.authenticate(params.session.password)) {
+                session.userId = user.id;
+                redirectTo(route="posts");
+            } else {
+                flashInsert(error="Invalid credentials");
+                redirectTo(route="login");
+            }
+        }
+        function delete() {
+            StructDelete(session, "userId");
+            redirectTo(route="login");
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+5. Signup controller:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=74 file="app/controllers/Users.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function new() { user = model("User").new(); }
+        function create() {
+            user = model("User").new(params.user);
+            user.password = params.user.password;
+            if (user.save()) {
+                session.userId = user.id;
+                redirectTo(route="posts");
+            } else {
+                renderView(action="new");
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+6. authenticate filter as a private method:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=75 file="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function config() {
+            filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+        }
+        function index() {
+            posts = model("Post").published().findAll(include="comments", order="publishedAt DESC");
+        }
+        function show() {}
+        function new() { post = model("Post").new(); }
+        function create() {
+            post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+            post.userId = session.userId;
+            if (post.save()) { redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id); }
+            else { renderPartial("form"); }
+        }
+        function edit() { ownershipCheck(); }
+        function update() { ownershipCheck(); if (params.post.update(params.post)) { redirectTo(route="post", key=params.post.id); } else { renderPartial("form"); } }
+        function delete() { ownershipCheck(); params.post.delete(); redirectTo(route="posts"); }
+        private function authenticate() {
+            if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
+                flashInsert(error="Please log in first");
+                redirectTo(route="login");
+            }
+        }
+        private function ownershipCheck() {
+            if (params.post.userId != session.userId) { redirectTo(route="posts"); }
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+7. Migration to add `userId` column to posts:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=76 cmd="wheels generate migration AddUserToPosts"}
+    wheels generate migration AddUserToPosts
+    ```
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=77 file="app/migrator/migrations/NNN_AddUserToPosts.cfc"}
+    component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Add userId to posts" {
+        function up() { addColumn(table="posts", columnType="integer", columnName="userId"); }
+        function down() { removeColumn(table="posts", columnName="userId"); }
+    }
+    ```
+8. Routes for login/logout/signup:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=78 file="config/routes.cfm"}
+    mapper()
+        .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) { map.resources(name="comments", only="create"); })
+        .resources("users")
+        .get(name="login", pattern="/login", to="sessions##new")
+        .post(name="authenticate", pattern="/login", to="sessions##create")
+        .delete(name="logout", pattern="/logout", to="sessions##delete")
+        .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+        .wildcard()
+    .end();
+    ```
+9. Run migration:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=79 cmd="wheels dbmigrate latest" asserts-stdout="Migrating up"}
+    wheels dbmigrate latest
+    ```
+10. Checkpoint 6a: login flow works, unauthenticated create returns redirect:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=80 cmd="wheels reload"}
+    wheels reload
+    ```
+    Skip HTTP POST for Phase 1 if body injection isn't supported; assert redirect-on-GET instead:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=81 file="config/routes.cfm" mode="write" asserts-http="GET /posts/new → 302"}
+    mapper()
+        .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) { map.resources(name="comments", only="create"); })
+        .resources("users")
+        .get(name="login", pattern="/login", to="sessions##new")
+        .post(name="authenticate", pattern="/login", to="sessions##create")
+        .delete(name="logout", pattern="/logout", to="sessions##delete")
+        .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+        .wildcard()
+    .end();
+    ```
+
+**Part 6b (Built-in):** Replace 6a's hand-rolled pieces with DI-resolved built-ins.
+11. Register SessionStrategy in services.cfm:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=91 file="config/services.cfm"}
+    var di = injector();
+    di.map("authenticator").to("wheels.auth.SessionStrategy").asRequestScoped();
+    ```
+    (Verify exact class name and mapping — Wheels 4.0 ships `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` per the spec; confirm against `vendor/wheels/auth/`.)
+12. Replace hand-rolled sessions controller with one that calls the authenticator service:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=92 file="app/controllers/Sessions.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function config() {
+            inject("authenticator");
+        }
+        function new() {}
+        function create() {
+            result = this.authenticator.authenticate(request);
+            if (result.success) { redirectTo(route="posts"); }
+            else { flashInsert(error=result.error); redirectTo(route="login"); }
+        }
+        function delete() {
+            this.authenticator.logout(request);
+            redirectTo(route="login");
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+13. Replace authenticate filter with middleware:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=93 file="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"}
+    component extends="Controller" {
+        function config() {
+            filters(through="$auth.requireUser", except="index,show");
+        }
+        // ... same actions as 6a but without the private authenticate method
+    }
+    ```
+    (Check exact integration: Wheels 4.0 may expose this as a built-in filter on `Controller`. Adjust syntax accordingly.)
+14. Compare: show side-by-side that 6a and 6b produce the same behavior.
+15. Checkpoint 6b — harness re-asserts same HTTP behavior as step 81.
+16. Troubleshooting:
+    - "authenticator not resolved" → services.cfm not loaded; check app boot order
+    - "filter not found" → 6b filter syntax mismatch
+    - 500 on login POST → body parser missing; check Wheels CSRF token handling
+
+- [ ] **Steps 1-5** — standard template.
+
+**Budget note:** Part 6 is long. If the harness takes >3 minutes on Part 6, consider splitting 6a and 6b into separate files (which would mean 8 parts not 7 — check with Peter before doing that).
+
+```bash
+git commit -m "docs(docs): tutorial part 6 — authentication (hand-rolled + built-in)"

+## Task 13: Tutorial Part 7 — Testing, Deploying, What's Next
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/07-testing-deploying.mdx`
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`
+
+**Coverage per spec Part 7 (≈35 min):**
+
+Steps (step=100-115):
+1. "Where we left off" — full auth'd blog app with posts, comments, users.
+2. Why test — 1 paragraph on the value + the Wheels reference platform (SQLite, Lucee 7).
+3. First model spec:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=100 file="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"}
+    component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+        function run() {
+            describe("Post", () => {
+                it("requires a title", () => {
+                    var post = model("Post").new(body="some body");
+                    expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+                    expect(post.errorsOn("title")).toBeTruthy();
+                });
+                it("rejects titles over 120 chars", () => {
+                    var post = model("Post").new(title=repeatString("x", 121), body="body");
+                    expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+                });
+            });
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+4. First controller spec:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=101 file="tests/specs/controllers/PostsControllerSpec.cfc"}
+    component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+        function run() {
+            describe("Posts#index", () => {
+                it("shows published posts only", () => {
+                    // populate fixture + visit '/posts' via testable request, assert response
+                });
+            });
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+5. Run the test suite:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=102 cmd="wheels test run" asserts-output="pass"}
+    wheels test run
+    ```
+6. One browser test with Playwright:
+    ```cfm {test:tutorial step=103 file="tests/specs/browser/SignupFlowSpec.cfc"}
+    component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+        this.browserEngine = "chromium";
+        function run() {
+            browserDescribe("Full signup flow", () => {
+                it("signs up, creates a post, adds a comment", () => {
+                    if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                    this.browser.visitRoute("signup")
+                        .fill("##email", "alice@example.com")
+                        .fill("##password", "hunter2")
+                        .click("button[type=submit]")
+                        .assertUrlContains("/posts");
+                });
+            });
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+    (Note: this spec requires `wheels browser:install` — mention it and tag as illustrative if the harness CI runner doesn't have Playwright; Phase 0 installed it, so this may be testable end-to-end.)
+7. `bash tools/test-local.sh` — illustrative (harness runs in its own fixture, not the main wheels repo).
+8. Deployment overview — 2-paragraph intro linking to Deployment & Operations. Two paths: Docker + VM. Kamal is recommended (per user direction). Don't walk through the full deploy here; Phase 2's Deployment section does that.
+9. What to read next — `<CardGrid>` with 3 `<LinkCard>`: Core Concepts · Digging Deeper · Testing.
+10. Checkpoint:
+    ```bash {test:cli step=110 cmd="wheels test run" asserts-output="pass"}
+    wheels test run
+    ```
+11. Troubleshooting:
+    - "test suite not found" → tests/ dir missing; scaffold didn't include it
+    - Browser test skipped → `wheels browser:install` needed
+    - Tests fail intermittently → race condition; use `beforeEach` fixtures

+description: Phase 1 guides rewrite review
+prompt: |
+  Review the Wheels 4.0 guides Phase 1 diff at /tmp/phase1.diff. Context:
+
+  - This is branch claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121, diffed against the Phase 0
+    base at ee2ad45bd. Not yet merged to develop — final merge is end of
+    Phase 2.
+  - Phase 1 ships: (a) two new verify-docs drivers (tutorial, compile) with
+    unit tests, (b) 12 new/modified MDX pages (4 Start Here + tutorial index
+    + 7 tutorial parts), (c) sidebar updates, (d) VALIDATION.md additions.
+  - Style constraints: see web/sites/guides/STYLE.md. Diátaxis purity, no
+    marketing copy, second-person voice, real names (not foo/bar), every
+    code block either {test:*}-tagged or explicitly marked illustrative.
+  - Tutorial driver architecture: one persistent fixture for all cumulative
+    examples (tutorial + step-numbered cli); orchestrator sorts by
+    (sidebar.order, step, line).
+  - All harness blocks were validated end-to-end before this review (see
+    Phase 1 report).
+
+  Review focus:
+  1. Code correctness in drivers/tutorial.mjs, drivers/compile.mjs,
+     lib/tutorial-fixture.mjs, lib/orchestrator.mjs. Security (fixture path
+     escapes, command injection), error handling, resource cleanup
+     (fixture teardown, server lifecycle), test coverage.
+  2. Content quality: flag any instance of marketing language, first-person,
+     or broken Diátaxis boundaries (e.g. a how-to that teaches concepts).
+  3. Tutorial cross-file consistency: does Part N build correctly on Part

+| Cloudflare Pages preview URL for review | 14 |
+
+All spec requirements have at least one task. No gaps.
+
+**Placeholder scan:**
+- "TBD" appears intentionally in Task 2 Step 3 (uncertainty around `wheels destroy`/component handling — called out as a spike rather than a placeholder) and Task 12 (bcrypt function names — called out as "verify before writing, adjust to match"). These are legitimate "confirm on implementation" markers, not placeholder content.
+- No "implement later," "fill in details," or "similar to Task N" patterns.
+
+**Type / method consistency:**
+- Fixture lib exports: `fixturePath`, `resetFixture`, `writeFixtureFile`, `appendFixtureFile`, `readFixtureFile`, `runInFixture` — same names used in Task 1 tests and driver.
+- Driver exports: `TutorialSession` class with `ensureInitialised`, `ensureServer`, `stopServer`, `applyTutorialExample`, `applyCliExample` — same used in verify-docs.mjs wiring (Task 1 Step 17) and end-to-end test (Task 1 Step 15).
+- Orchestrator exports: `readSidebarOrder`, `enrichWithSidebarOrder`, `partitionAndOrder` — same used in tests and entrypoint.
+- Compile driver exports: `runCompile`, `detectMode` — same used in tests and entrypoint.
+
+All consistent.
+
+**One known friction point:** the MDX content tasks (3-13) don't inline the full prose content in the plan — the plan gives structural specs + required harness tags and relies on the implementing agent to compose prose during execution against STYLE.md and the spec. This is deliberate (writing full MDX verbatim inside the plan would 10x its length) and matches the pragmatic split the user specified. If an inline-executing agent wants more scaffolding before writing a given page, they should read the spec's corresponding section + STYLE.md + the Phase 0 sample pages (tutorial/01-hello-wheels.mdx and digging-deeper/sending-email.mdx) for tone reference.
+

+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-18-guides-rewrite-phase-1.md`.
+
+**Per user direction (pragmatic split from Phase 0):**
+
+- **Tasks 1, 2 (code)** — run via Subagent-Driven execution: `superpowers:subagent-driven-development`. Fresh implementer per task, then spec-review and code-quality review subagents between tasks. Fast iteration, isolated context.
+- **Tasks 3-13 (content)** — run inline using `superpowers:executing-plans`. Self-review against STYLE.md and harness-passing is the review gate. No subagent ceremony per page.
+- **Task 14 (integration)** — inline.
+- **Task 15 (final review)** — single `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent dispatch across the full Phase 1 diff.
+
+Ready to begin Task 1.

+
+## P0 — Blocks the tutorial for real users
+
+### [x] 1. `wheels generate` fails on fresh apps — snippet templates not bundled — **shipped in `b9b165731`**
+
+**Problem.** On a fresh `wheels new <app>`, `wheels generate model|controller|scaffold|migration` errors with `Template not found: ModelContent.txt` (or equivalent for other commands). The generators look in `app/snippets/*.txt` but the scaffolder creates an empty `app/snippets/` directory.
+
+**Repro.**
+```bash
+wheels new g-probe --no-open-browser
+cd g-probe
+wheels generate model Post title:string body:text
+# → Template not found: ModelContent.txt
+```
+
+**Evidence.** Templates exist at:
+- `app/snippets/*.txt` (framework source)
+- `cli/src/templates/*.txt`
+- `cli/lucli/templates/snippets/*.txt` (some of them)
+
+Copying `app/snippets/*.txt` from the framework source into the fresh app makes `wheels generate model` work (verified).
+
+**Impact.** Every `wheels generate *` command in the tutorial breaks for first-time users. Forced the guides-Phase-1 tutorial to teach by hand-writing files instead of generators.
+
+**Proposed fix.** Options in rough ascending order of effort:
+- **Option A:** `wheels new` copies `app/snippets/*.txt` templates into the new app at scaffold time. Simplest; directly mirrors what a user has to do manually today.
+- **Option B:** `wheels generate` falls back to framework-source templates when the app's local `app/snippets/` is missing a required file. More forgiving but assumes the framework source is reachable.
+- **Option C:** move template lookup entirely into the CLI (not the app); `app/snippets/` becomes user override territory only.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.**
+- `wheels new foo && cd foo && wheels generate model Post title:string body:text` succeeds and creates `app/models/Post.cfc` + `app/migrator/migrations/<timestamp>_create_posts_table.cfc`
+- Same for `wheels generate controller`, `wheels generate scaffold`, `wheels generate migration`
+- `wheels new` now either copies the snippets (Option A) or the generator works without them (Option B/C)
+
+**Files likely involved.**
+- `cli/src/templates/` (CLI scaffold templates)
+- `cli/lucli/templates/snippets/` (LuCLI generator templates)
+- `app/snippets/` (what ends up in user apps)
+- The `wheels new` command implementation in LuCLI
+
+---
+
+### [ ] 2. Hotwire / Basecoat / Sentry packages not installable in fresh apps
+
+**Problem.** The first-party packages (`hotwire`, `basecoat`, `sentry`, `legacyadapter`) live at `packages/<name>/` in the framework source. Fresh `wheels new` apps don't include a `packages/` directory. CLAUDE.md documents the activation model as `cp -r packages/<name> vendor/<name>`, but a user has nothing to copy from.
+
+No `wheels package install <name>` / `wheels package list` / `wheels package activate` command exists.
+
+**Repro.**
+```bash
+wheels new pkg-probe --no-open-browser
+cd pkg-probe
+ls packages/ 2>&1       # doesn't exist
+ls vendor/              # wheels/ only
+```
+
+**Impact.** The guides tutorial (Parts 3–5) centers on Turbo Drive / Frames / Streams. Without a way to install the `hotwire` package, Part 4 falls back to loading Turbo from a CDN via `<script>` tag. Part 3's "activate Hotwire and Basecoat" story is entirely theoretical. Basecoat-styled scaffolds don't exist for real users.
+
+**Proposed fix.**
+- **Option A (minimum viable):** `wheels new` bundles the four first-party packages into `packages/` in the new app. Users activate with `cp -r packages/hotwire vendor/hotwire`. No new commands needed.
+- **Option B (better UX):** Add CLI subcommands:
+  - `wheels package list` — show available vs activated
+  - `wheels package install <name>` — copies from the framework's source tree (or downloads) into `packages/<name>` in the app
+  - `wheels package activate <name>` — copies from `packages/<name>` to `vendor/<name>` and reloads
+  - `wheels package deactivate <name>` — removes `vendor/<name>`
+- **Option C (furthest):** a package registry concept (like `npm`) with versioning. Probably overkill for 4.0.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.**
+- A fresh app can activate Hotwire in ≤2 commands
+- Documentation for package activation matches actual user experience
+- Guides Phase 2 can stop using CDN-loaded Turbo
+
+**Files likely involved.**
+- `cli/lucli/` command definitions
+- `vendor/wheels/PackageLoader.cfc` (the auto-discovery logic)
+- The `wheels new` scaffolder
+
+---
+
+### [x] 3. `wheels cfml` exits 0 when CFML execution fails — **shipped in LuCLI `dc3e20d`**
+
+**Status.** Patch ready. See [docs/superpowers/artifacts/lucli-pr-1/](../artifacts/lucli-pr-1/).
+
+**Problem.** `lucli cfml '<expr>'` catches execution errors, logs them, and falls through to `return result` with `result == null`. picocli maps null Object-returns to exit 0.
+
+**Impact.** Every caller checking exit codes silently accepts failure: shell pipelines, CI, pre-commit hooks, the guides doctest harness. Guides Phase 1's compile driver runs in a bracket-balance fallback mode because of this.
+
+**Fix.** One line in `src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/cli/commands/CfmlCommand.java`:
+
+```diff
+         catch (Exception e) {
+             System.err.println("Error in cfml command: " + e.getMessage());
+             LuCLI.debugStack(e);
++            return 1;
+         }
+```
+
+**Acceptance criteria.**
+- `wheels cfml 'throw(message="boom")'` exits 1
+- `wheels cfml '1 + 2'` still exits 0
+- Guides harness's compile driver's `detectMode()` flips from `fallback` to `native` automatically on next run
+
+**Files.** `src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/cli/commands/CfmlCommand.java` in the LuCLI repo (~/GitHub/bpamiri/LuCLI).
+
+---
+
+## P1 — Polishes the happy path
+
+### [ ] 4. No bcrypt in bundled Lucee
+
+**Problem.** `hashBCrypt()`, `bcryptHash()` don't exist. `hash(pw, "BCRYPT")` throws `bcrypt MessageDigest not available`. Every auth tutorial on the internet assumes bcrypt.
+
+**Repro.**
+```bash
+wheels cfml 'writeOutput(hash("pw" & "salt", "BCRYPT"))'
+# → Error: bcrypt MessageDigest not available
+```
+
+**Impact.** Guides Part 6 (authentication) ships salted SHA-256 with a caution aside. Not production-grade. Readers who want to ship a real app have to research and assemble their own hashing layer.
+
+**Proposed fix.** Options in order of reach:
+- **Option A:** bundle a bcrypt `MessageDigest` provider (e.g. jBCrypt) with the bundled Lucee so `hash(pw, "BCRYPT")` works. Minimal API change; transparent to users.
+- **Option B:** ship a `wheels.security` namespace with helpers:
+  ```cfm
+  wheels.security.hashPassword(password)  // returns struct {hash, salt}
+  wheels.security.verifyPassword(password, hash, salt)  // returns boolean
+  ```
+  Documented as "the right way"; guides and examples reference it.
+- **Option C:** new first-party package `wheels-security` containing both the bundled bcrypt bits and the helpers. Package-system-native.
+
+Recommend A+B together. C is overkill.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.**
+- Guides Part 6 can swap SHA-256 for bcrypt in a 1-line change
+- Tutorial's caution aside becomes a brief "use `wheels.security.hashPassword`" line
+
+**Files likely involved.** Lucee distribution (bundling), or `vendor/wheels/security/*.cfc` (if helper path).
+
+---
+
+### [x] 5. Route model binding requires explicit `binding=true` but failure is silent — **shipped in `875639f59`** (dev warning; default stays false)
+
+**Problem.** `.resources(name="posts")` does NOT enable route model binding by default. Readers who write `post = params.post;` in show/edit/update/delete get `params.post is undefined`. The framework doesn't warn or error — it just silently passes a missing variable.
+
+**Evidence.** Final Phase 1 code review caught this after all 7 tutorial parts were written. Would've broken the tutorial for every reader.
+
+**Impact.** The "convenience" of route model binding is undercut by the requirement to remember a flag. Tutorials elsewhere (Rails) default-enable this behavior.
+
+**Proposed fix.** Options:
+- **Option A:** default `binding=true` when the resource name singularizes to an existing model class. Matches Rails' convention. Users opt out with `binding=false` if they don't want the lookup.
+- **Option B:** runtime warning when `params.<singular>` is referenced in an action on a bound-capable route and binding is off. "Did you mean to set `binding=true` on `resources('posts')`?"
+- **Option C:** rename the flag to something self-documenting: `autoLoadModel=true`, or split into `loadBy=key` for explicit control.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.**
+- Tutorial readers who copy the Part 2 hand-written controller into a Part 3 scaffold pattern don't silently break
+- Existing 4.0 apps that relied on `binding` being off opt-out explicitly if A is chosen
+
+**Files likely involved.** `vendor/wheels/mapper/resources.cfc`, route model binding dispatcher in `vendor/wheels/controller/`.
+
+---
+
+### [ ] 6. Wheels Auth requires 3-step manual wiring; no convenience helper
+
+**Problem.** Using `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` in an app requires:
+1. Create `Authenticator` and register it as a service
+2. Create `SessionStrategy` and register it as a service
+3. Call `registerStrategy()` on the Authenticator at init
+
+Plus the controller code to call `service("authenticator").authenticate(request)`.
+
+**Impact.** Guides Part 6b takes ~50 lines just to wire auth up before any logic runs. A one-line enable would dramatically simplify the tutorial and real-world adoption.
+
+**Proposed fix.** A convenience helper:
+```cfm
+// config/app.cfm
+wheels.auth.enableSession();       // session auth with defaults
+wheels.auth.enableSession(sessionKey="myapp.session");  // customized
+```
+
+Or a module-level pattern:
+```cfm
+// config/services.cfm
+wheels.auth.configure({
+    strategies: ["session"],
+    defaultStrategy: "session"
+});
+```
+
+**Acceptance criteria.**
+- Guides Part 6b shrinks from ~50 lines of wiring to ~3
+- Advanced users can still go manual (current path stays working)
+
+**Files likely involved.** `vendor/wheels/auth/` — add a facade/bootstrap module.
+
+---
+
+### [ ] 7. `config/services.cfm` load behavior is unclear
+
+**Problem.** The DI container is documented assuming `config/services.cfm` is auto-loaded at app init. Fresh `wheels new` apps don't create this file, and there's no comment anywhere indicating it's expected.
+
+**Impact.** Guides Part 6b hand-waves the loading step. Readers who follow the tutorial may create `config/services.cfm` and have it silently not load, or may have it load and not know when.
+
+**Proposed fix.** Options:
+- **Option A:** `wheels new` creates `config/services.cfm` with a template comment explaining the DI container:
+  ```cfm
+  // This file is auto-loaded at app init and every reload.
+  // Register services for dependency injection. Example:
+  //   injector().map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService").asSingleton();
+  ```
+- **Option B:** Document the auto-discovery rule prominently in the DI guide (Core Concepts section).
+
+Recommend both.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.**
+- A fresh app has a discoverable stub for services.cfm
+- Load ordering (is it before or after `config/settings.cfm`? before or after package load?) is documented
+
+**Files likely involved.** `cli/lucli/` scaffolder, `vendor/wheels/` DI bootstrap, Core Concepts docs.
+
+---
+
+### [x] 8. Empty `app/snippets/` and `app/plugins/` directories in fresh apps — **shipped in `584f04d48`** (also covers `mailers/`, `lib/`, `jobs/`)
+
+**Problem.** Fresh `wheels new` creates these directories with no README, no example, no indication of purpose. Users see empty folders and wonder if they should delete them.
+
+Note: `app/snippets/` is actively used by generators (see item #1). The fact that it's empty in fresh apps is both a UX bug and the root cause of #1.
+
+**Proposed fix.** Each directory gets a `README.md` stub:
+- `app/snippets/README.md` — "Template overrides for `wheels generate`. Copy a template from the framework source here to customize."
+- `app/plugins/README.md` — "Legacy plugin drop-in directory (deprecated; see `vendor/` for packages)."
+
+Or, per #1, `app/snippets/` gets populated with default templates at `wheels new` time and the README explains how to override them.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.** A first-time user can open the scaffolded directory tree and understand each top-level directory's purpose from its contents.
+
+**Files.** `cli/lucli/` scaffolder or a `app/*/README.md` seed set.
+
+---
+
+### [x] 9. `wheels migrate` error message uses old command name — **shipped in `2827c61f2`**
+
+**Problem.** Running `wheels migrate latest` without a running server prints:
+```
+No running Wheels server detected.
+Migrations require a running server. Start with: wheels server start
+```
+
+But the current CLI command is `wheels start`, not `wheels server start`. Stale string from an earlier CLI version.
+
+**Impact.** Reader copies the suggested command, gets "command not found," has to look up the right one.
+
+**Fix.** Replace `wheels server start` with `wheels start` in the error message. Then sweep the rest of the codebase for other stale references.
+
+**Grep suggestion.**
+```bash
+grep -rn "wheels server start\|wheels server stop" cli/ vendor/wheels/ --include="*.cfc"
+```
+
+**Files likely involved.** `cli/lucli/` or `vendor/wheels/migrator/` — wherever the migrate command emits this message.
+
+---
+
+### [ ] 10. `wheels migrate` requires a running HTTP server
+
+**Problem.** Unlike most frameworks, `wheels migrate latest` talks to the app via HTTP instead of directly to the database. Creates a chicken-and-egg for:
+- CI pipelines (need to boot a server just to apply schema)
+- Scripted provisioning
+- One-shot migration runners
+- Docker builds
+
+**Impact.** Deployment sections of the guides become more complex. Kamal's `kamal deploy` can't trivially run migrations as a separate step without an extra boot-then-migrate-then-teardown dance.
+
+**Proposed fix.** Add an offline migration path:
+- `wheels migrate latest --offline` — opens a direct DB connection using the same datasource configuration, runs migrations, exits
+- Keep the current HTTP-backed path as the default for dev (because it auto-reloads the running app)
+
+**Acceptance criteria.** CI workflow can run `wheels migrate latest --offline` between clone and test-suite-run without booting a dev server.
+
+**Files.** `vendor/wheels/migrator/` — add a standalone-mode execution path; `cli/lucli/` — add the `--offline` flag.
+
+---
+
+### [ ] 11. Intermittent race when spawning `wheels new` in parallel
+
+**Problem.** When the guides doctest harness runs multiple `wheels new` invocations in parallel (via `Promise.all`), ~1 in 20 runs fails with:
+```
+Can't cast String [] to a value of type [Struct]
+```
+or
+```
+Cannot invoke "javax.script.ScriptEngine.put(String, Object)" because "engine" is null
+```
+
+Rerunning passes. Appears to be a LuCLI engine init race when multiple JVM instances spin up at once.
+
+**Impact.** CI flakes. The guides harness has to either retry-with-backoff or serialize.
+
+**Fix.** Lives in LuCLI — likely a locking or single-init issue in the ScriptEngine bootstrap path.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.** 100 parallel `wheels new`s pass without flakes.
+
+**Files.** `src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/LuceeScriptEngine.java` (or wherever the engine is initialized) in ~/GitHub/bpamiri/LuCLI.
+
+---
+
+### [x] 12. `wheels start` silently fails when `JAVA_HOME` is unset — **shipped in LuCLI `0d5b0ca`**
+
+**Problem.** Without `JAVA_HOME` exported, `wheels start` spawns a child that exits before binding. The main process stderr shows a misleading error:
+```
+❌ Command failed: Cannot start server - port conflicts detected:
+```
+The real error (Java not found) only appears in `~/.wheels/servers/<name>/server.err`, which the user has to know to look at.
+
+**Impact.** Hours of debugging the wrong thing. Especially painful in CI, where JAVA_HOME setup is the kind of thing workflow authors forget.
+
+**Fix.** Detect a missing/invalid `JAVA_HOME` up front and exit with an actionable error:
+```
+Error: JAVA_HOME is not set (or does not point at a JDK).
+Wheels needs Java 21 or newer.
+Install: https://adoptium.net/
+Then: export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk-21
+```
+
+**Acceptance criteria.** Running `unset JAVA_HOME && wheels start` prints the actionable error instead of the port-conflict red herring.
+
+**Files.** LuCLI entry point (probably `src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/LuCLI.java`) in ~/GitHub/bpamiri/LuCLI.
+
+---
+
+### [x] 13. Form-helper id convention (`post-title` with dash) is non-obvious — **shipped in `7fc905a79`** (Option C: dual `data-auto-id` emission; default on)
+
+**Problem.** `textField(objectName="post", property="title")` emits `id="post-title"` (joined with a dash). Conventions in Rails (`post_title`), Laravel, Django, and HTML-form tutorials elsewhere uniformly use underscore. Browser specs written against `#post_title` silently fail.
+
+**Evidence.** Guides Part 7 browser spec was originally written against `#post_title` and `#user_email`; final code review caught it.
+
+**Impact.** Every browser/E2E test written by a newcomer fails on first run. Debugging is tedious because the form renders correctly — the selector just doesn't match.
+
+**Proposed fix.** Options:
+- **Option A:** document the dash convention with a loud callout in the form-helper reference and browser-testing guide. Non-breaking; expectations set.
+- **Option B:** change the default to underscore; add a config flag to keep dash for backward compat. Breaking change.
+- **Option C:** emit both as `id="post-title" data-auto-id="post_title"` (or equivalent). Tests can target either. Non-breaking.
+
+Recommend A at minimum. C is a nice enhancement.
+
+**Files likely involved.** `vendor/wheels/view/miscellaneous.cfc` (specifically `$tagId`); form helper docs.
+
+---
+
+## P2 — Nice-to-have polish
+
+### [ ] 14. No `wheels generate <thing> --dry-run`
+
+**Problem.** To preview what a scaffold would produce without touching files, you have no option. Rails ships `rails g ... --pretend`.
+
+**Fix.** Add `--dry-run` (or `--pretend`) flag to every `wheels generate *` subcommand. Print the file paths and bodies, don't write to disk.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.** `wheels generate scaffold Post title:string --dry-run` prints what would be created; repo is untouched.
+
+---
+
+### [ ] 15. `wheels test run` output format needs verification
+
+**Problem.** Guides Part 7 describes the expected output of `wheels test run` without ever executing the command end-to-end in the probe environment. The tutorial's "Expected output (illustrative)" placeholder is a hand-wave.
+
+**Fix.** After items #1–#2 land, validate the full test-running flow end-to-end and update the tutorial with real output.
+
+**Files likely involved.** `cli/lucli/` test-runner command, guides Part 7.
+
+---
+
+### [ ] 16. BDD test fixture setup (`tests/populate.cfm`) not documented at tutorial level
+
+**Problem.** CLAUDE.md documents the fixture-setup pattern, but that's contributor-facing. Guides Part 7 mentions it only in troubleshooting.
+
+**Fix.** Phase 2's Testing section should walk through `tests/populate.cfm`, how test isolation works, and when to use it. Captured here for scoping.
+
+**Files.** Guides Phase 2 Testing section (future work).
+
+---
+
+## Additional gaps surfaced during Phase 2b-Advanced (2026-04-20)
+
+### [ ] 17. `cli/lucli/templates/snippets/user-mailer.txt` references nonexistent `wheels.Mailer`
+Anyone running `wheels snippet install user-mailer` gets a template that extends a class that doesn't exist. Delete the stale snippet or rewrite to match the real mailer pattern documented at [digging-deeper/sending-email](../../web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/sending-email.mdx). Surfaced during Task 5 (sending-email rewrite).
+
+### [ ] 18. Promote `wheels-dev/wheels-i18n` plugin to a first-party package
+The `wheels-i18n` plugin exists at [wheels-dev/wheels-i18n](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels-i18n) as a 3.x-era drop-in. Works today via `app/plugins/` but should be converted to a 4.0 package alongside `hotwire`, `basecoat`, `sentry`, `legacyadapter`. Once converted, the internationalization guide gets rewritten to treat it as canonical (like auth Patterns treats `SessionStrategy`). Surfaced during Task 8.
+
+### [ ] 19. Route model binding lacks custom binding field (`bindBy=`)
+Binding always uses `findByKey(params.key)` against the primary key. For slug-based URLs (`/posts/my-great-post`), there's no way to say "bind by slug, not id." Candidate addition: `.resources(name="posts", binding=true, bindBy="slug")` that calls `findOne(where="slug='#params.key#'")` instead. Surfaced during Task 11.
+
+### [ ] 20. DI container lacks `toFactory()` registration
+When construction needs custom logic (e.g., read env vars, compose from other services), the current workaround is a plain wrapper CFC with a `build()` method. A first-class `toFactory(function)` on the fluent API would simplify secret-driven registrations (JWT strategy with env-var secret is the canonical example). Surfaced during Task 14.
+
+### [ ] 21. First-class i18n primitives (beyond the plugin-to-package conversion in #18)
+Full i18n support goes beyond repackaging `wheels-i18n`: CLDR-aware pluralization, locale-aware `errorMessagesFor()`, a `LocaleResolver` middleware with built-in session/URL/header precedence, locale-to-Lucee-locale-string mapping. Tracked as the roadmap item the Internationalization guide references.
+
+---
+
+## What's explicitly not on this list
+
+Items surfaced during Phase 1 that are working-as-intended or out-of-scope:
+
+- The CFML tag-comment (`<!--- --->`) gap in the compile driver's fallback mode. Theoretical; no current content hits it.
+- Occasional flakiness of parallel `wheels verify:docs` runs with multiple cli blocks — same root as #11.
+- The `.ai/` reference docs decision (deferred to end of Phase 2c).
+
+---
+
+## How to use this doc
+
+Pick any `[ ]` item, open a fresh session (or worktree), and fix it. Each card has the context needed — problem, repro, impact, proposed fix, acceptance criteria. No need to re-read the Phase 1 report unless you want background.
+
+When fixed: tick the box, add the PR/commit link inline, and optionally move to a `## Shipped` section.

+### Deliverables checklist
+
+**Core Concepts — 8 pages (concept type):**
+- [x] The Request Lifecycle
+- [x] MVC in Wheels
+- [x] Conventions over Configuration
+- [x] ORM Philosophy
+- [x] The Dependency Injection Container
+- [x] Middleware Pipeline
+- [x] How Routing Works
+- [x] Environments and Configuration
+
+**The Basics — 11 pages (howto type):**
+- [x] Routing
+- [x] Controllers and Actions
+- [x] Views, Layouts, Partials
+- [x] Forms and Form Helpers
+- [x] Validation and Error Display
+- [x] Models and the ORM
+- [x] Associations
+- [x] Migrations
+- [x] Seeding
+- [x] Query Builder and Scopes
+- [x] Database and Multiple Datasources
+
+**Testing — 1 landing page:**
+- [x] Testing (overview)
+
+**Integration:**
+- [x] Tutorial Parts 2-6 cross-linked into Phase 2a pages
+- [x] Sidebar populated for Core Concepts (8 entries) and The Basics (11 entries)
+- [x] Code-block contrast fix (github-dark-high-contrast + github-light theme pair)
+- [x] `.ai/` stragglers audit — 3 clearly-redundant files deleted; 36 Phase 2b/2c targets kept
+- [x] CLAUDE.md reconciliations landed — `wheels seed`, `wheels start`, `timestamps()` three columns
+
+## Verification
+
+- **`pnpm verify:docs`** — 142 tagged blocks across 44 files. **142 passed, 0 failed.** Runtime ~1 min.
+- **`pnpm test:docs-harness`** — 29/29 unit tests pass. Runtime ~30s.
+- **`pnpm build`** — 290 pages build clean, no broken-link errors.
+- **Compile driver mode:** still `fallback` (LuCLI PR [cybersonic/LuCLI#56](https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/pull/56) not yet merged). Once it merges, every `{test:compile}` block — there are 90+ of them now across tutorial + Phase 2a basics — auto-upgrades to real parse checking with zero harness code changes.
+
+## What changed from the plan
+
+**Seven deviations, all forced by framework reality (drift caught during execution):**
+
+### 1. Path convention: `config/environments/<env>.cfm` → `config/<env>/settings.cfm`
+Task 8 verified against scaffold source and framework boot order. Plan had the Rails-style path; Wheels uses `config/production/settings.cfm` etc. Fixed in the Environments page and in Tutorial Part 6 (commit `dc13fab88`).
+
+### 2. `LUCLI_ENV` doesn't exist
+Task 8 confirmed only `WHEELS_ENV` is referenced in framework code. Documented `WHEELS_ENV` only.
+
+### 3. `renderJSON` doesn't exist — use `renderWith(data=...)`
+Task 10 found the real content-negotiation API. Rails naming didn't transfer.
+
+### 4. View-side is `includePartial`, controller-side is `renderPartial`
+Task 11 corrected plan's reversed terminology.
+
+### 5. No `this.layout = "admin"` — use `usesLayout(template="admin")` in `config()`
+Task 11 corrected phantom API.
+
+### 6. Form helper gaps caught across multiple tasks
+- `dateTimeField` doesn't exist — only `dateField` and `dateTimeSelect` (select-group)
+- `label()` / `labelTag()` don't exist as standalone — `label=` is an argument on each helper
+- `contentTag` doesn't exist as a public helper
+
+### 7. Model/association API drifts
+- **Counter caches don't exist in Wheels.** Plan invented them from Rails.
+- `dependent=` accepts `delete`, `deleteAll`, `remove`, `removeAll`, `false` — NOT `destroy`, `deny`, `nullify`.
+- Many-to-many uses `shortcut="roles"`, NOT `through="bookings"`.
+- `$query()` doesn't exist — raw SQL path is native CFML `queryExecute()` with explicit datasource.
+- Read-replica feature: NOT shipped. Manual two-datasource pattern documented honestly.
+
+### 8. Column builder args: `columnNames` (plural) + `allowNull`
+Task 16: verified against `TableDefinition.cfc`. Plan used Rails-style `columnName` + `null`.
+
+### 9. `t.timestamps()` creates three columns, not two
+Adds `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, AND `deletedAt` (soft-delete marker). CLAUDE.md anti-pattern #7 updated.
+
+### 10. Bonus correction: enum list-form stores STRING, not integer
+Task 18: `enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived")` stores the literal name. Only struct-form (`values={low: 0, medium: 1, high: 2}`) maps to integers.
+
+## Known gaps / Phase 2b follow-ups
+
+The subagents flagged real API drifts worth filing separately:
+
+1. **Cors default is `""` not `"*"`** — Task 6 flagged the `.ai/` middleware doc had the default wrong (framework default is fail-closed). User doc is correct.
+2. **SecurityHeaders ships more headers than old `.ai/` docs claimed** — `contentSecurityPolicy`, `strictTransportSecurity`, `permissionsPolicy` exist. Documented in the concept page.
+3. **`addForeignKey()` lacks `onDelete`/`onUpdate` options** — only on `t.references()`. A real framework gap; filing as a Phase 2c Wheels improvement candidate.
+4. **`tutorial Part 7` may still reference `config/environments/production.cfm`** (Task 20 only fixed Part 6 explicitly). Worth a grep pass in Phase 2b or 2c opening.
+5. **Tutorial uses `application.wo.service(...)` in 6b but concept page shows `service(...)`** — both work (the `wo` prefix is the explicit long form). No fix needed for Phase 2a, but Phase 2b Digging Deeper Auth page should resolve which is canonical.
+6. **36 `.ai/wheels/` files remain** — every one is a Phase 2b or 2c target. The file-by-file deletion pattern established in Phase 2a continues through those phases.
+
+## Architectural notes worth preserving
+
+### The consolidation pressure caught real bugs
+
+Across 20 subagent dispatches, the content-writer subagents flagged **30+ distinct API drifts** between my plan, the old `.ai/` docs, and framework source. Each drift became a correction in the user doc and — where relevant — a CLAUDE.md update.
+
+The pattern was consistent: subagent reads `.ai/` + reads `vendor/wheels/`, discovers the two disagree, documents the verified reality in the user doc, flags the mismatch in its report. Over 20 pages, this caught counter-caches (nonexistent), read replicas (nonexistent), `renderJSON` (nonexistent), `$query` (nonexistent), plus naming drifts for `dependent=`, `through=`, column builders, environment paths, and form helpers.
+
+The `.ai/` folder wasn't just redundant — it was actively wrong in places. Consolidation with a "verify against source" loop is a one-time correction opportunity that merging-without-verifying would have silently propagated.
+
+### Why concept pages all came in short
+
+Every Core Concepts page landed 50-80 lines despite the plan suggesting 90-140. The subagents consistently invoked STYLE.md's "short sentences, no filler, no marketing copy" rule to resist padding. The result is pages that read tight and honest rather than bloated. This is correct; the plan's length ranges were guidance, not floors.
+
+### Why the Basics how-to pages all passed the harness
+
+11 how-to pages with 90+ `{test:compile}` blocks landed with 100% pass rate on first try. The compile driver's bracket-balance fallback is weak — catches typos only — but discipline in the subagents' block construction made the fallback sufficient. Once LuCLI PR #56 merges and the driver upgrades to real `wheels cfml` parse checking, these blocks get real validation for free. That's the point of the two-mode design.
+
+### The code-block contrast fix was a hidden foundation cost
+
+Task 1's observed "blue text hard to see" interrupt led to commit `f2cefa003` — a 17-line change to `@wheels-dev/ui/styles/starlight-theme.css` and `astro.config.mjs`. The root cause was `background: #111` forced on all `<pre>` in both light and dark mode, combined with no expressive-code theme configuration. Fix: set `expressiveCode.themes: ['github-dark-high-contrast', 'github-light']` and remove the background override. Affects guides, api, and landing sites (all consume the shared UI package).
+
+## Open decisions for Phase 2b
+
+1. **Package installation.** Tutorial Part 4 falls back to loading Turbo from a CDN because there's no `wheels package install hotwire` command. Framework gap #2 in the tracker. Blocks clean Phase 2b Digging Deeper Packages page.
+
+2. **bcrypt availability.** Tutorial Part 6 ships salted SHA-256 with a caution aside because no bcrypt helper exists. Framework gap #4. Phase 2b Auth pages should either ship bcrypt or document SHA-256 as the official guidance.
+
+3. **MCP documentation placement.** `.ai/wheels/mcp/{overview,setup,tool-reference}.md` remain. MCP is a CLI-Reference-style concern or a dedicated Phase 2c page. Decide early.
+
+4. **`agent-context/` folder.** Phase 2a kept `.ai/wheels/cross-engine-compatibility.md`, `snippets/`, `patterns/` intact — all agent-operational content that doesn't have a user-doc home. Phase 2c's final audit decides: absorb into CLAUDE.md, create a dedicated `agent-context/` folder, or keep `.ai/` as the agent-facing namespace.
+
+5. **Tutorial Part 7's stale `config/environments/production.cfm` reference** (if any still exists). A grep pass at Phase 2b start, or fold into Phase 2c polish.
+
+## Next moves
+
+Phase 2b: Advanced + Reference. Scope per Phase 1 plan: Digging Deeper (~14 pages), CLI Reference (~110 pages migrated + enhanced). Writing a Phase 2b plan doc is the natural start.
+
+Before Phase 2b starts:
+- **Rebuild + reinstall wheels CLI** to pick up merged [wheels#2168](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2168) (framework gaps batch 1) — snippet templates, route binding warning, form-helper `data-auto-id`, etc.
+- **Chase [LuCLI #56](https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/pull/56)** — once merged, harness compile driver upgrades from fallback to native mode automatically.
+- **File Wheels framework issues** for the three remaining-gap follow-ups worth turning into tracked work (addForeignKey cascades, package install command, bcrypt helper).

+# Wheels 4.0 Guides — Phase 2a Implementation Plan (Foundations)
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ship the Core Concepts section (8 pages), The Basics section (11 pages), and the Testing Overview landing page — the foundation layer that every other Phase 2 section will cross-link into. Consolidate each section's `.ai/` equivalent into user docs as it lands.
+
+**Architecture:** Each page is authored directly in Starlight-native MDX at `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/`. Concept pages use prose + diagrams (no code harness blocks); how-to pages use `{test:compile}` on CFML snippets and `{test:cli}` for CLI commands. Sidebar updated incrementally per page. For each section that lands, the corresponding `.ai/wheels/<subdir>/` is audited and deleted — user docs become the single source of truth.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Astro 5 + Starlight 0.34 + MDX. Node 22+ ESM harness. `wheels` CLI v0.3.5-SNAPSHOT+ (framework v4.0.0). Existing Phase 1 verify-docs harness with three drivers (cli, compile, tutorial).
+
+**Base:** Branch `claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121` at Phase 1 head `bba06cda5`. Phase 2a commits land here. The branch stays open through Phase 2b and 2c; the single final merge to develop happens at the end of Phase 2c (per the original spec).
+
+**Review model (pragmatic split established in Phase 1):**
+- Concept + how-to content pages — inline execution with self-review against STYLE.md + harness-passing as the review gate
+- Any harness changes needed mid-phase — full subagent ceremony (implementer → spec review → code review)
+- Section-boundary integration (sidebar, build check, `.ai/` deletion) — inline
+- End-of-phase final review — single pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer subagent across the full Phase 2a diff
+
+**Prologue — policy decisions in force for Phase 2:**
+
+1. **Kamal is the committed deploy path.** No "TBD" / "being evaluated" language anywhere. Phase 2c's Deployment section writes the full Kamal walkthrough; Phase 2a's pages don't touch deployment but should name Kamal if they need to reference deploy (e.g., How Routing Works → "in production the router delegates to the Kamal-managed Lucee container…").
+
+2. **`.ai/` folder consolidates into user docs.** Every Phase 2 section has a corresponding `.ai/wheels/<subdir>/`. As each user page or subsection lands, its `.ai/` equivalent is DELETED in the same commit — no drift window. Content that is genuinely agent-specific (operational runbooks for Claude, Lucee/Adobe cross-engine gotchas that only agents care about) gets promoted into CLAUDE.md or a narrowly-scoped `agent-context/` directory at the repo root. User-facing content becomes the new single source of truth.

+
+### Deleted files — `.ai/` consolidation
+
+| Deleted as part of | What gets removed |
+|---------------------|-------------------|
+| Task 2 (MVC in Wheels) | `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/mvc-architecture/` (all files) |
+| Task 4 (ORM Philosophy) | `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/orm/` (all files), `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/rails-comparison.md` (merge into Why Wheels? if gap found; otherwise delete) |
+| Task 7 (How Routing Works) | `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/routing/` |
+| Task 8 (Environments and Configuration) | `.ai/wheels/configuration/{application,environments,framework-settings,overview,best-practices,troubleshooting}.md` |
+| Task 9 (Routing — Basics) | `.ai/wheels/configuration/routing.md` |
+| Task 10 (Controllers and Actions) | `.ai/wheels/controllers/{architecture,filters,model-interactions,rendering,params,http-detection,security}.md` + subdirs (except api.md which defers to Phase 2b) |
+| Task 11 (Views, Layouts, Partials) | `.ai/wheels/views/{architecture,layouts,partials,data-handling,best-practices,advanced-patterns}.md` + subdirs (except helpers.md which belongs with the forms page) |
+| Task 12 (Forms and Form Helpers) | `.ai/wheels/views/forms.md`, `.ai/wheels/views/helpers.md`, `.ai/wheels/views/helpers/` |
+| Task 13 (Validation and Error Display) | `.ai/wheels/database/validations/` |
+| Task 14 (Models and the ORM) | `.ai/wheels/models/{architecture,methods-reference,callbacks,performance,best-practices,advanced-features,advanced-patterns}.md` |
+| Task 15 (Associations) | `.ai/wheels/models/associations.md`, `.ai/wheels/database/associations/` |
+| Task 16 (Migrations) | `.ai/wheels/database/migrations/` |
+| Task 17 (Seeding) | `.ai/wheels/database/seeding.md` |
+| Task 18 (Query Builder and Scopes) | `.ai/wheels/models/{query-builder,scopes,enums,batch-processing}.md` |
+| Task 19 (Database and Multiple Datasources) | `.ai/wheels/database/queries/` |
+| Task 21 (Testing Overview) | `.ai/wheels/testing/README.md` (if applicable; don't touch subdirs — rest to 2b) |
+
+`.ai/wheels/core-concepts/README.md`, `.ai/wheels/models/testing.md`, `.ai/wheels/models/user-authentication.md`, `.ai/wheels/models/shared-models.md` — evaluate in Task 22 (`.ai/` audit); may relocate, may delete.
+
+Note: the `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/` directory also contains supporting files (`mvc-architecture/`, `orm/`, etc. have subdirectories). Each task's deletion is "the whole subtree unless there's a specific exception." Do not carry forward content that has been captured in the user docs; do not delete content that hasn't. When in doubt, read the `.ai/` file and compare against the user doc — the user doc must cover everything user-facing before the delete happens.

+24 tasks. Expected wall time: 4-6 sessions assuming ~4-5 pages per session at content-writer subagent pace.
+
+---
+
+## Shared conventions for every content task
+
+To avoid repetition across 20 nearly-identical tasks, here are the conventions every task inherits. Each task brief below points at this section.
+
+### Frontmatter template
+
+Every page has frontmatter of this shape:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: <Human Title>
+description: <one-sentence description, 80-140 chars, no trailing period>
+type: concept | howto | reference
+sidebar:
+  order: N
+---
+```
+
+`type` matches Diátaxis — concept pages explain, how-to pages perform a task, reference pages are dry tables/lists.
+
+### Opening section (every page)
+
+- Starlight component imports line (at minimum: `Aside`, plus whatever else the page uses):
+  ```mdx
+  import { Aside, Steps, CardGrid, LinkCard, FileTree, Tabs, TabItem } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+  ```
+  Only import what the page actually uses.
+
+- One-sentence summary paragraph.
+
+- **"You'll learn"** bullet block (3-5 items), formatted:
+  ```mdx
+  **You'll learn:**
+
+  - First thing
+  - Second thing
+  - Third thing
+  ```
+
+- Optional `<Aside type="note">` declaring audience assumptions when relevant (per STYLE.md).
+
+### Closing section (concept pages)
+
+Concept pages end with a **"See also"** block — plain bulleted list, not a CardGrid:
+
+```mdx
+## See also
+
+- [Related Concept](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/related/) — one-line hook
+- [Related How-to](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/related/) — one-line hook
+```
+
+### Closing section (how-to pages)
+
+How-to pages end with a **"Related guides"** CardGrid:
+
+```mdx
+## Related guides
+
+<CardGrid>
+  <LinkCard title="X" href="/v4-0-0-snapshot/..." description="Y" />
+  <LinkCard title="X" href="/v4-0-0-snapshot/..." description="Y" />
+</CardGrid>
+```
+
+### Code block tagging rules (from STYLE.md)
+
+- **Illustrative** (can't or shouldn't compile): `title="path/to/file.cfm"` or `title="illustrative — do not type"`. No `{test:*}` tag.
+- **CFML that should parse**: `{test:compile}`. Verify bracket balance — fallback mode checks this.
+- **CLI commands that should run**: `{test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}`. Only use `wheels --version` as the test target unless you've personally verified another command works reliably in isolation against the installed CLI.
+- **HTML fragments**: `title="path/to/view.cfm"` (illustrative, not compile-tagged).
+- **Output blocks** (showing what a command prints): `title="expected output"` or just no meta.
+
+### Voice + prose rules
+
+- Second person ("you"), active voice
+- No marketing copy ("powerful", "robust", "effortless")
+- No headings deeper than `###`
+- Short sentences
+- Function names in code voice (`findAll()`), concepts in prose voice ("finders")
+- Real names (`Post`, `user.email`), not `foo`/`bar`
+
+### Verification template (every page)
+
+After writing a page, these three steps always run:
+
+```bash
+export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/21.0.8/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
+cd /Users/peter/GitHub/wheels-dev/wheels/.claude/worktrees/lucid-thompson-b8c121/web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/<section>/<page>.mdx
+pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+Expected: verify:docs all-pass; build page count increases by 1 over the previous state.
+
+### Sidebar update pattern
+
+Each new page gets added to `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json` inside the section's `items` array. Order is specified per-page in the task brief.
+
+### `.ai/` deletion pattern
+
+For each task that owns a `.ai/` deletion per the File Structure table:
+
+1. **Before writing the user doc**: read the corresponding `.ai/` files to understand their content. Capture anything genuinely user-useful into the user doc outline.
+2. **Before committing the user doc**: verify the user doc covers the user-facing material from `.ai/`. Anything that's agent-operational (cross-engine gotchas, runbooks, Claude-implementation-specific context) gets moved to CLAUDE.md or flagged for Task 22 to place in `agent-context/`.
+3. **In the same commit**: `git rm -r .ai/wheels/<subdir>/` (or the specific files). The user doc and the `.ai/` deletion ship together.
+
+### Commit messages
+
+`docs(docs): <section>/<page> — <imperative phrase>`
+
+Examples:
+- `docs(docs): core-concepts/request-lifecycle — rewrite from phase 0 stub`
+- `docs(docs): basics/associations — add full associations how-to + drop .ai/database/associations`
+- `docs(docs): testing/index — landing page for testing section`
+
+Scope is `docs`. Subject starts lowercase. Footer references the issue/plan if useful.
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Request Lifecycle (Core Concept)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/request-lifecycle.mdx` (rewrite existing Phase 0 stub).
+
+**Type:** `concept`. **Sidebar order:** 1 within Core Concepts.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None this task.
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Frontmatter:
+```yaml
+---
+title: The Request Lifecycle
+description: How an HTTP request flows through a Wheels app — from the JVM socket to the rendered response.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+```
+
+Required sections:
+
+1. **Opening** — one-sentence summary. "You'll learn" block: the four request phases, what each phase can do, where your code hooks in. `<Aside type="note">` noting this is conceptual — the [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/) page has the hands-on version.
+
+2. **The four phases** — a section per phase:
+    - **Phase 1: The JVM receives the request.** Lucee's servlet container accepts the TCP connection, parses the HTTP request into a `request` struct. The `onRequestStart()` event fires.
+    - **Phase 2: The middleware pipeline.** Each registered middleware inspects/mutates the request struct and can short-circuit the response. Order matters. Wheels' built-in middleware (CSRF, security headers, rate limiter) runs first unless re-ordered.
+    - **Phase 3: Routing and dispatch.** The router matches the URL against `config/routes.cfm`. A match selects a controller + action + route params. Route model binding (when enabled) loads `params.<singular>` from the DB. Filters fire: `before` filters (including `authenticate`), then the action, then `after` filters.
+    - **Phase 4: View rendering and response.** The action sets instance variables, Wheels looks up the matching view under `app/views/<controller>/<action>.cfm`, renders it through the layout, serializes to HTTP, and writes to the socket.
+
+3. **Visual diagram** — ASCII or Mermaid. Keep it simple:
+    ```
+    HTTP request
+        ↓
+    Middleware → [CSRF] → [Headers] → [Rate limit] → [Custom] 
+        ↓
+    Router → match route → set params
+        ↓
+    beforeAction filters → authenticate → ownership checks
+        ↓
+    Controller action
+        ↓
+    afterAction filters
+        ↓
+    View render (action view → layout)
+        ↓
+    HTTP response
+    ```
+
+4. **Where your code hooks in** — short prose listing the hook points:
+    - `config/app.cfm` — once per process init
+    - `config/routes.cfm` — route definitions, ran at init + reload
+    - `config/settings.cfm` — the `set(...)` calls for middleware + defaults
+    - `config/services.cfm` — DI container registration
+    - `app/events/onRequestStart.cfm`, `onRequestEnd.cfm` — per-request hooks
+    - `config/environment.cfm` — environment-specific overrides
+    - Controller `config()` — filter declarations
+    - Private filter methods — per-request logic before actions
+
+5. **When something breaks** — three common symptoms and where in the pipeline they originate:
+    - 500 with "route not found" → router, Phase 3
+    - 422 with inline validation errors → Phase 4, view rendered the partial instead of redirecting
+    - Blank page → Phase 4, view file missing or named wrong
+
+6. **See also** block:
+    - How Routing Works
+    - Middleware Pipeline
+    - Controllers and Actions
+    - The Dependency Injection Container
+
+Constraints:
+- No CFML code blocks on this page. It's pure explanation.
+- Diagram must be accurate — trace it against the real dispatch code in `vendor/wheels/Dispatch.cfc` before writing.
+- Length: ~200-300 lines of MDX.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read the existing stub and the real dispatch code**
+
+```bash
+cat web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/request-lifecycle.mdx
+head -100 vendor/wheels/Dispatch.cfc
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Rewrite the page per the specification above**
+
+Write the full MDX content.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify**
+
+```bash
+export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/21.0.8/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
+cd web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/request-lifecycle.mdx
+pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+Expected: verify:docs reports "0 passed, 0 failed" (no harness blocks on a pure concept page); build produces 272+ pages.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Self-review against STYLE.md**
+
+Particular focus: no marketing copy, diagram is accurate, every "See also" link resolves to an existing or Phase 2a-scoped page.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/request-lifecycle.mdx
+git commit -m "docs(docs): core-concepts/request-lifecycle — rewrite from phase 0 stub"
+```

+## Task 2: MVC in Wheels (Core Concept)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/mvc-in-wheels.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `concept`. **Sidebar order:** 2 within Core Concepts.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/mvc-architecture/` (entire subdir).
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Frontmatter (title "MVC in Wheels", description "How Wheels interprets Model-View-Controller — where behavior lives, what controllers should never do, and why Wheels models are fat on purpose.", sidebar.order 2).
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (the MVC boundary lines, what each layer owns, common violations).
+2. **The three layers** — one subsection per layer:
+   - **Model** — domain logic, validations, callbacks, database access, business rules. ActiveRecord-style: the model knows how to load, save, and validate itself. Fat-model-thin-controller is the Wheels default, deliberately.
+   - **View** — presentation only. `.cfm` templates with inline `#expr#` interpolation + helper calls. No DB access. No business logic. If a view needs computed data, the controller computes it.
+   - **Controller** — request handling. Parses params, loads models, orchestrates, picks a view. Minimal logic — ideally just redirect-or-render decisions. Controllers are thin.
+3. **What Wheels conventions enforce** — the naming that glues the layers together:
+   - Plural controllers: `Posts.cfc` for posts
+   - Singular models: `Post.cfc`
+   - Snake-case-ish table: `posts`
+   - View path: `app/views/posts/<action>.cfm`
+   - When you follow the conventions, the framework wires everything by default. When you break them (different table, custom view path), you explicitly override.
+4. **Common violations** — short, prose-only list:
+   - DB calls in a view → move to the controller action, pass down as a variable
+   - Validation logic in a controller → lift into the model's `validatesPresenceOf` or a custom validation
+   - Business calculations in a controller with 5 `findAll` calls → extract a service object into `app/lib/`
+   - Rendering decisions (`if (params.json) { ... }`) everywhere → use respond_to / format detection and partials
+5. **Why fat models** — 2-paragraph explanation. Models are shared across controllers, background jobs, seeds, tests. A validation on the model means every caller enforces it. A validation in a controller means every other caller reimplements it (or doesn't).
+6. See also block.
+
+Constraints: no code blocks. Pure explanation.
+
+**Deletion scope for Task 2:** read `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/mvc-architecture/` to ensure no user-facing gap, then `git rm -r .ai/wheels/core-concepts/mvc-architecture/` in the same commit as the user page.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read source material**
+
+```bash
+ls .ai/wheels/core-concepts/mvc-architecture/
+cat .ai/wheels/core-concepts/mvc-architecture/*.md | head -200
+```
+
+Capture anything user-facing. Agent-specific content gets moved to CLAUDE.md (flag for Task 22 if non-trivial).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the user doc per specification**
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify**
+
+```bash
+cd web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/mvc-in-wheels.mdx
+pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Delete the `.ai/` subdir**
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/peter/GitHub/wheels-dev/wheels/.claude/worktrees/lucid-thompson-b8c121
+git rm -r .ai/wheels/core-concepts/mvc-architecture/
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit both together**
+
+```bash
+git add web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/mvc-in-wheels.mdx
+git commit -m "docs(docs): core-concepts/mvc-in-wheels — add user doc + drop .ai mvc-architecture"

+
+## Task 3: Conventions over Configuration (Core Concept)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/conventions-over-configuration.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `concept`. **Sidebar order:** 3.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None (this is a philosophy page with no direct `.ai/` equivalent).
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (what "convention over configuration" means concretely, which conventions Wheels enforces, when and how to override).
+2. **What the convention buys you** — a table of what happens automatically when you name things the Wheels way:
+
+| You create | Wheels infers |
+|------------|---------------|
+| `app/models/Post.cfc` | Model class `Post`, table `posts`, primary key `id`, datasource = app default |
+| `app/controllers/Posts.cfc` | Controller `Posts`, view dir `app/views/posts/`, routes via `.resources("posts")` |
+| Action `index` on `Posts` | View path `app/views/posts/index.cfm`, renders through `app/views/layout.cfm` |
+| `config/routes.cfm` with `.resources("posts")` | Seven routes (`posts`/`newPost`/`post`/`editPost` named), CRUD mapping |
+| `hasMany(name="comments")` on `Post` | Foreign key `postId` on `comments`, methods `post.comments()` and `post.createComment()` |
+
+3. **How to override when you need to** — short list of the common overrides:
+   - Custom table: `tableName("old_blog_entries")` in model `config()`
+   - Custom primary key: `setPrimaryKey("entryId")`
+   - Custom view: `renderView(action="summary")`
+   - Custom route mapping: `.get(pattern="/old/:key", to="posts##show")`
+4. **When conventions fight you** — 2 paragraphs. Legacy databases, multi-tenancy, pluralization edge cases (`person`/`people`, `datum`/`data`). Name it, address it, move on.
+5. **Why this philosophy** — 2 paragraphs. Conventions reduce the decision surface. New developers onboarding to a Wheels app know where things live. Tooling (generators, scaffolds, the CLI) can assume the conventions hold. You pay an override cost when you break convention, not a discoverability cost for every file.
+6. See also block.
+
+Constraints: prose-only, no code blocks except the small inline examples in section 3.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write per specification**
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify + build**

+## Task 4: ORM Philosophy (Core Concept)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/orm-philosophy.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `concept`. **Sidebar order:** 4.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/orm/` (subtree). Also audit `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/rails-comparison.md` — if there's useful Rails-specific content, either merge into Why Wheels? (via a separate commit to that existing page) or delete.
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (what ActiveRecord vs DataMapper is, Wheels' position, what that means for you).
+2. **ActiveRecord vs DataMapper** — 2 paragraphs contrasting the patterns. ActiveRecord: the model IS a row. Load a User, call `user.save()`, the row updates. DataMapper: models are dumb data, repositories handle persistence. Wheels is ActiveRecord, like Rails and Laravel Eloquent. Django ORM sits closer to DataMapper.
+3. **What this means for your code** — short list:
+   - Models carry behavior. A `User` has `authenticate()`, not an `AuthService.authenticate(user)`.
+   - Validations live on the model. `user.valid()` and `user.errors()` return state.
+   - Lifecycle callbacks (`beforeSave`, `afterCreate`) are methods on the model.
+   - Persistence is per-instance. `user.save()`, `user.delete()`, `user.update(...)`.
+4. **What this DOESN'T mean** — common confusions:
+   - Models don't have to do everything. Complex workflows live in `app/lib/` service objects.
+   - Models don't have to hit the database every time. Use finders with caching, scopes, `include=` for eager loading.
+   - Models aren't the only domain objects. Plain CFCs in `app/lib/` are fine for value objects, calculators, etc.
+5. **The "fat model" mental pitfall** — 1 paragraph. When a model accrues 2000 lines, the temptation is "rewrite as DataMapper." The reality: you need a service object. Keep the model; extract the service.
+6. See also (Models and the ORM, Associations, Validation and Errors).
+
+Constraints: prose + one tiny illustrative model snippet showing behavior on the class. No compile blocks.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read source material**

+## Task 5: The Dependency Injection Container (Core Concept)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/dependency-injection.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `concept`. **Sidebar order:** 5.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/configuration/dependency-injection.md` (single file).
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (what the container is, when to use it, the three scopes, how injection works).
+2. **What the container does** — 2 paragraphs. The container holds named references to components. Code asks for a name, gets an instance. Enables swapping implementations (test doubles, strategy patterns, environment-specific configs) without rewriting consumers.
+3. **Registration** — where it happens (`config/services.cfm`), the shape:
+   ```cfm title="illustrative — config/services.cfm"
+   var di = injector();
+   di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService").asSingleton();
+   di.map("currentUser").to("app.lib.CurrentUserResolver").asRequestScoped();
+   di.bind("INotifier").to("app.lib.SlackNotifier").asSingleton();
+   ```
+4. **The three scopes** — table:
+   | Scope | Lifetime | Use when |
+   |-------|----------|----------|
+   | `transient` (default) | New instance each resolve | Components with no shared state |
+   | `.asSingleton()` | One per application | Stateless services, expensive-to-construct objects |
+   | `.asRequestScoped()` | One per HTTP request | Per-request state (current user, request-tenant) |
+5. **Resolving** — two patterns:
+   - Lazy: `service("emailService")` anywhere in your code
+   - Declarative injection in controllers: `inject("emailService")` in `config()`, use as `this.emailService` in actions
+6. **Auto-wiring** — short paragraph. `init()` params matching registered names are auto-resolved when no `initArguments` is passed. Constructor injection for the common case.
+7. **When NOT to use the container** — 1 paragraph. Don't inject everything. Plain `new app.lib.Foo()` is fine for stateless things you never swap. The container earns its keep when you WILL swap or WHEN test doubles matter.
+8. See also (Middleware Pipeline, Controllers and Actions, Authentication Patterns).
+
+Constraints: 1-2 illustrative code snippets (marked with title, not compile). No harness blocks on a concept page.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read .ai source**
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write**

+
+## Task 6: Middleware Pipeline (Core Concept)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/middleware-pipeline.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `concept`. **Sidebar order:** 6.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** Review `.ai/wheels/middleware/` (likely subdir). Delete whatever's user-facing; promote agent-specific pieces if any.
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (what middleware is, where it runs, how ordering works, the built-ins).
+2. **The pipeline model** — 2 paragraphs. Middleware is a chain of `(request, next)` functions. Each one inspects the request, optionally calls `next(request)` to continue, optionally mutates the response on the way back. Order = chain order.
+3. **Where middleware registers** — `config/settings.cfm`:
+   ```cfm title="illustrative — config/settings.cfm"
+   set(middleware = [
+       new wheels.middleware.RequestId(),
+       new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders(),
+       new wheels.middleware.Cors(allowOrigins="https://myapp.com"),
+       new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(maxRequests=100, windowSeconds=60)
+   ]);
+   ```
+4. **Built-in middleware** — short prose list:
+   - `RequestId` — adds a unique ID to each request; threaded into logs
+   - `SecurityHeaders` — sets CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options
+   - `Cors` — handles OPTIONS preflight + sets CORS headers
+   - `RateLimiter` — multi-strategy (fixed/sliding/token-bucket)
+5. **Route-scoped middleware** — short example of `.scope(path="/api", middleware=[...])`. Middleware can apply globally or to a route subtree.
+6. **Writing your own** — 1 paragraph. Implement `wheels.middleware.MiddlewareInterface`, place in `app/middleware/`. See [Rate Limiting](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/) and [CORS](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/) in Digging Deeper for the how-to.
+7. See also (Request Lifecycle, How Routing Works, CORS, Rate Limiting).
+
+Constraints: illustrative snippets only; no harness blocks.
+
+Steps follow the same pattern: read .ai, write, verify, delete .ai, commit.
+
+```bash
+# After writing user doc and verifying:
+git rm -r .ai/wheels/middleware/  # adjust based on what's actually there
+git add web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/middleware-pipeline.mdx
+git commit -m "docs(docs): core-concepts/middleware-pipeline — add concept + drop .ai middleware"
+```

+
+## Task 7: How Routing Works (Core Concept)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/how-routing-works.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `concept`. **Sidebar order:** 7.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/routing/`.
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (how URL → action mapping happens, what resources generate, route model binding mechanics, the order rules).
+2. **The match algorithm** — 2 paragraphs. The router walks `config/routes.cfm` top-to-bottom. First match wins. Resource routes expand to 7 routes at definition time. The wildcard route catches anything that falls through, mapping `/controller/action` conventionally.
+3. **What `.resources("posts")` expands to** — concrete table showing 7 generated routes:
+
+| HTTP method | Path | Controller#action | Named route |
+|-------------|------|-------------------|-------------|
+| GET | `/posts` | `posts##index` | `posts` |
+| GET | `/posts/new` | `posts##new` | `newPost` |
+| POST | `/posts` | `posts##create` | n/a (same path as index) |
+| GET | `/posts/:key` | `posts##show` | `post` |
+| GET | `/posts/:key/edit` | `posts##edit` | `editPost` |
+| PATCH / PUT | `/posts/:key` | `posts##update` | n/a |
+| DELETE | `/posts/:key` | `posts##delete` | n/a |
+
+4. **Order rules** — short list:
+   - Specific routes before generic
+   - `.resources(...)` before `.wildcard()` before `.root(...)`
+   - Named routes can be ordered however is clearest — name, not position, is the lookup key
+5. **Route model binding** — 2 paragraphs. When `.resources(name="posts", binding=true)` is set, any action receiving a `:key` has `params.<singular>` pre-populated with the matching record. A 404 is raised before the action runs if the record doesn't exist. Without `binding=true`, `params.post` is undefined — the dev-mode warning (shipped in the gap-fix batch) flags this at dispatch time when the action is a binding-eligible one.
+6. **Named routes everywhere** — short paragraph. `linkTo(route="post", key=post.id)`, `redirectTo(route="posts")`, `urlFor(route="newPost")` all use the same names.
+7. See also (Routing how-to, Controllers and Actions, Middleware Pipeline).
+
+Constraints: prose + the one table + 2-3 illustrative snippets.
+
+Steps same as Task 6.
+

+
+## Task 8: Environments and Configuration (Core Concept)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/environments-and-configuration.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `concept`. **Sidebar order:** 8.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/configuration/{application,environments,framework-settings,overview,best-practices,troubleshooting}.md` (six files).
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (the 3 standard environments, where settings live, how environment-specific overrides work, the `set()` pattern).
+2. **The three environments** — quick table:
+
+| Environment | When it's used | Typical settings |
+|-------------|----------------|------------------|
+| `development` | Local dev server | Verbose errors, hot reload, debug helpers visible |
+| `testing` | Test suite runs | Same DB reset before each spec, faster timeouts |
+| `production` | Real users | Errors hidden, caches warmed, log rotation, HTTPS enforced |
+
+3. **Where settings live** — one sentence per file:
+   - `config/settings.cfm` — shared defaults, middleware list
+   - `config/environment.cfm` — the active environment name, usually read from `LUCLI_ENV` or similar
+   - `config/environments/development.cfm`, `testing.cfm`, `production.cfm` — per-env overrides
+   - `config/app.cfm` — init-time hooks
+4. **The `set()` pattern** — 2 paragraphs. `set(key=value)` writes into the Wheels settings struct. Settings cascade: default → settings.cfm → environments/<env>.cfm. Later writes win.
+5. **Environment detection** — 1 paragraph. The active environment is set by `config/environment.cfm` (file), optionally overridden by `LUCLI_ENV` / `WHEELS_ENV` env var. The CLI respects this.
+6. **Secrets handling** — short paragraph. Use environment variables or a secrets manager (1Password Connect, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.); reference via `application.wo.env("VAR_NAME")` in CFML. Don't commit `.env` or equivalent — the scaffold ships a `.gitignore` that excludes them.
+7. See also (The Dependency Injection Container, Deployment Overview, Installing Wheels).
+
+Constraints: prose + the table + inline set() examples.
+
+Steps same as Task 6 but with 6 files to delete.

+## Task 9: Routing (The Basics — How-to)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/routing.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 1 within The Basics.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/configuration/routing.md`.
+
+**Page specification (abbreviated — detailed task briefs start here):**
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (defining routes, resources, nested resources, namespaced, custom constraints, named routes).
+2. Prerequisites aside — "You should already know what a route is from [How Routing Works](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/how-routing-works/)."
+3. **Define a simple route** — `{test:compile}` block showing `mapper().get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="main##hello").end();` — with the full `<cfscript>` wrapper.
+4. **Resources** — `{test:compile}` block with `resources("posts", binding=true)`.
+5. **Nested resources** — callback syntax per Phase 1 tutorial pattern.
+6. **Namespaced routes** — `scope(path="/admin")` example.
+7. **Custom constraints** — regex patterns on the pattern.
+8. **Route helpers** — `linkTo`, `urlFor`, `redirectTo`, `buttonTo` — short prose reference.
+9. **Listing all routes** — `wheels routes` command, shown with `{test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}` smoke test only (not the routes command itself since it depends on a running app).
+10. Related guides CardGrid (Controllers and Actions, How Routing Works, Middleware Pipeline).
+
+Constraints: every routes.cfm block wrapped in `<cfscript>`. Bracket balance matters for fallback compile mode.

+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/database/seeding.md`.
+
+**Page specification:** `app/db/seeds.cfm` convention, `seedOnce(modelName, uniqueProperties, properties)` shape, environment-specific seeds (`app/db/seeds/development.cfm`, `production.cfm`), running (`wheels seed`), when seeds are idempotent (always — `seedOnce` checks `uniqueProperties` first), test data via generator (`wheels seed --generate`), when to prefer factories instead.
+

+
+## Task 20: Sidebar + tutorial cross-link pass
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`
+- `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/*.mdx` (all 8 files — add back-references to newly-available Core Concepts and Basics pages in their "See also" / "Related guides" sections)
+
+**Purpose:** The tutorial parts wrote "See also" / "Related guides" links pointing at pages that didn't exist yet (Phase 1 known gap). Now they exist. Audit each tutorial part for stale links or missing cross-references to Phase 2a pages.
+
+**Sidebar changes:** every new page from Tasks 1-19 gets an entry. Final sidebar has full Core Concepts and The Basics sections populated.
+
+Steps:
+- [ ] Walk each tutorial part, identify any `/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/` or `/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/` link that now resolves to a new page
+- [ ] Add 1-2 "Related guides" links on Part 7 pointing at the new Basics pages (query builder, forms, associations) readers might want next
+- [ ] Run `pnpm build` — confirm no broken internal links (Starlight surfaces them)
+- [ ] Commit
+
+```bash
+git add web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/
+git commit -m "docs(docs): cross-link tutorial parts to phase 2a concept and basics pages"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 21: Testing Overview (Landing)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/index.mdx`.
+
+**Type:** `concept` (it's an overview/landing, not a how-to). **Sidebar order:** 1 within Testing.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/testing/README.md` if applicable. Don't touch subdirs — the detailed testing pages land in Phase 2b.
+
+**Page specification:**
+
+Required sections:
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (what test categories Wheels ships, the BDD runner, the reference platform, where to go for each category).
+2. **Categories** — table:
+
+| Category | Runner | File location | Typical scope |
+|----------|--------|---------------|---------------|
+| Model tests | WheelsTest | `tests/specs/models/` | One model, validations, callbacks, custom methods |
+| Controller tests | WheelsTest | `tests/specs/controllers/` | Action dispatch, `processRequest`, response assertions |
+| Functional tests | WheelsTest | `tests/specs/functional/` | Cross-controller workflows |
+| Browser tests | Playwright via BrowserTest | `tests/specs/browser/` | Full UI flows, click-through |
+
+3. **WheelsTest BDD shape** — 1 paragraph + small illustrative snippet showing `describe`/`it`/`expect`.
+4. **The reference platform** — Lucee 7 + SQLite, matching the CI setup. Cross-engine nuances (Adobe, other databases) surface as asides in the detailed pages.
+5. **Running tests** — `wheels test run`, `wheels test run --filter=browser`, the test runner URL pattern.
+6. **CI integration** — pointer to the existing `.github/workflows/` setup; Phase 2b's "CI Integration" page has the details.
+7. **Where to go next** — CardGrid with 4 cards: Model Tests (Phase 2b), Controller Tests (2b), Browser Tests (2b), Running Tests Locally (2b) — cards will be slightly ahead of the pages they link to; that's fine (tutorial Part 7 already links forward, too).
+
+Constraints: one illustrative snippet, no harness blocks.
+
+Steps same pattern.
+
+---
+
+## Task 22: `.ai/` final audit for Phase 2a
+
+**Files to audit and potentially relocate:**
+- `.ai/wheels/core-concepts/README.md` — if it's a TOC, delete. If it has substance, merge into Core Concepts landing (need to check if Core Concepts has a landing — probably a Starlight-generated section index).
+- `.ai/wheels/models/testing.md` — belongs with testing, defer to Phase 2b's model-tests page.
+- `.ai/wheels/models/user-authentication.md` — belongs with Authentication, defer to Phase 2b's Digging Deeper → Auth.
+- `.ai/wheels/models/shared-models.md` — evaluate; likely either Phase 2b (Multi-tenancy in Digging Deeper) or delete.
+- Any stragglers from Tasks 1-21 that weren't cleanly deleted.
+
+**Output:**
+- List in plan what was relocated, what was deleted, what defers to Phase 2b.
+- Commit the results.
+
+Steps:
+- [ ] List all remaining `.ai/wheels/` files
+- [ ] Classify each as: keep for later phase / relocate to CLAUDE.md or agent-context/ / delete
+- [ ] Execute the deletions and relocations
+- [ ] Commit
+
+```bash
+git add .ai CLAUDE.md agent-context/
+git commit -m "docs(docs): phase 2a .ai/ audit — consolidate stragglers into user docs or agent-context"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 23: Full harness run + build + Phase 2a completion report
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2a-report.md`
+
+Steps:
+- [ ] **Full harness run:**
+  ```bash
+  export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/21.0.8/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
+  cd web/sites/guides
+  pnpm verify:docs 2>&1 | tee /tmp/phase2a-harness.log
+  ```
+  Expected: all tagged blocks pass. Page count goes from Phase 1's 272 to ~292 (20 new pages).
+
+- [ ] **Full unit test suite:**
+  ```bash
+  pnpm test:docs-harness
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Full astro build:**
+  ```bash
+  pnpm build 2>&1 | tee /tmp/phase2a-build.log
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Push branch:**
+  ```bash
+  git push
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Write completion report following Phase 1 report template**, including:
+  - Table of Phase 2a commits
+  - Deliverables checklist
+  - Verification section (harness pass count, test pass count, build page count)
+  - What changed from the plan (deviations)
+  - Known gaps / Phase 2b follow-ups
+  - Open decisions before Phase 2b starts
+
+- [ ] **Commit report**
+
+---
+
+## Task 24: Final code review across Phase 2a diff
+
+Dispatch a pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer subagent with:
+
+- Full diff: `git diff <phase1-head>..HEAD` where `<phase1-head>` is `bba06cda5`
+- Review focus: voice consistency across 20 pages, Diátaxis purity (every concept page is explanation, every how-to is task-oriented), internal link accuracy, `.ai/` deletions were complete (no orphan references), no marketing language, bracket-balanced code snippets, sidebar matches file tree.
+- Known items to skip flagging: CFML tag-comment fallback gap, any item already in the P1 gap tracker.
+
+Steps:
+- [ ] Compute diff range
+- [ ] Dispatch subagent with task-specific brief
+- [ ] Address blocking issues inline
+- [ ] File Phase 2b follow-ups for non-blockers
+
+---
+
+## Self-review
+
+**Spec coverage check:**
+
+| Spec requirement | Task(s) |
+|------------------|---------|
+| Core Concepts: Request Lifecycle | 1 |
+| Core Concepts: MVC in Wheels | 2 |
+| Core Concepts: Conventions over Configuration | 3 |
+| Core Concepts: ORM Philosophy | 4 |
+| Core Concepts: Dependency Injection | 5 |
+| Core Concepts: Middleware Pipeline | 6 |
+| Core Concepts: How Routing Works | 7 |
+| Core Concepts: Environments and Configuration | 8 |
+| Basics: Routing | 9 |
+| Basics: Controllers & Actions | 10 |
+| Basics: Views, Layouts, Partials | 11 |
+| Basics: Forms & Form Helpers | 12 |
+| Basics: Validation & Error Display | 13 |

+| Basics: Migrations | 16 |
+| Basics: Seeding | 17 |
+| Basics: Query Builder & Scopes | 18 |
+| Basics: Database & Multiple Datasources | 19 |
+| Testing Overview | 21 |
+| `.ai/` consolidation (policy decision) | 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 |
+| Kamal commitment (policy decision — doesn't affect 2a directly; enforced in 2c) | — |
+| Tutorial cross-link pass | 20 |
+
+All Phase 2a spec requirements mapped. Kamal is for 2c. Testing detail pages (9 out of 10) deferred to 2b.
+
+**Placeholder scan:**
+- No "TBD" in the plan body.
+- Content task briefs use structural outlines (required sections + required components) rather than verbatim prose. Same pragmatic pattern established in Phase 1 Tasks 3-13. Writing agent composes prose at execution time with STYLE.md + this outline + `.ai/` source material in hand.
+- Commands in verification steps are exact.
+
+**Type / method consistency:**
+- `inject()` / `service()` / `injector().map(...).to(...).asSingleton()` referenced consistently across Tasks 5, 10, 14.
+- Form helper naming (`textField`, `startFormTag`, `errorMessagesFor`) consistent across Tasks 12, 13.
+- Finder naming (`findAll`, `findOne`, `findByKey`) consistent across Tasks 14, 15, 18.
+- Route helpers (`linkTo`, `redirectTo`, `urlFor`, `buttonTo`) consistent across Tasks 9, 10, 11.
+- `.resources(name="...", binding=true)` consistent with Phase 1 gap-fix #5.
+
+**Known friction point (same as Phase 1):** content task briefs don't inline full prose. The implementing agent composes during execution against `.ai/` source + STYLE.md + existing page examples. This is deliberate — writing 20 full page drafts verbatim in the plan would 5x its length. If an executing agent needs more scaffolding before writing a given page, they should read the relevant `.ai/` files first (every task has a "read source material" step).
+
+---
+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2a.md`.
+
+**Per Phase 1's proven pragmatic split:**
+- **Content tasks (1-19, 21)** — inline execution. Compose each page against STYLE.md + `.ai/` source. Harness + build is the review gate.
+- **Integration tasks (20, 22, 23)** — inline.
+- **Final review (24)** — pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer subagent across the full Phase 2a diff.
+
+Two execution options per the writing-plans skill:
+
+1. **Subagent-Driven (recommended for the bulk)** — dispatch one content-writer subagent per page, I review the result + harness output, commit. Roughly 20 dispatch cycles for the content pages. Preserves my context for coordination.
+
+2. **Inline Execution** — I write each page myself in this session. Shorter latency per page, higher context consumption.
+
+Given Phase 1 worked well with subagent dispatch for content tasks (Parts 2-7), option 1 is the natural fit. **Proceed with subagent-driven execution?**

+
+**Plan:** `2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-cli.md`
+**Branch:** `claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121`
+**PR:** #2169 (draft)
+**Completion date:** 2026-04-20

+
+## Summary
+
+20 CLI reference content pages authored from scratch, source-verified against `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` + LuCLI Java sources + homebrew formula + Lucee AI engines. Two infrastructure pages (sidebar + `.ai/` audit) consolidated with the content work. 23 total commits on the phase.
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- 5 top-level pages: index, installation, quick-start, configuration, mcp-integration
+- 10 wheels-commands pages: creating-a-project, code-generation, database, dev-server, testing, app-inspection, code-quality, scaffold-cleanup, console-and-repl, upgrade
+- 5 core-commands pages (LuCLI): server, cfml-execution, system-and-secrets, modules-and-deps, ai-and-completion
+- 1 sidebar update adding all 20 pages under a structured "CLI Reference" entry
+- 8 `.ai/` files deleted (`.ai/wheels/cli/**`, `.ai/wheels/mcp/**`) — superseded by the new pages
+
+**Final build:** 330 pages (up from 310 baseline after Task 1 cleanup).
+
+**`{test:cli}` coverage:** 8 tagged blocks across 3 pages (app-inspection.mdx, cfml-execution.mdx, modules-and-deps.mdx, code-quality.mdx). All passing. Served as the first durable `{test:cli}` blocks on Phase 2b-CLI content — earlier phases relied heavily on `{test:compile}`.

+
+## Drift caught vs. the plan (source-verification wins)
+
+Each content task verified claims against actual source, catching plan-level drift before it shipped. Notable corrections:
+
+### API inventory
+- **`wheels create`, `wheels new`, `wheels generate app` — all three are aliases for the same dispatch.** (Task 7)
+- **`wheels generate` has 13 subcommands, not 11.** Found: `app`, `model`, `controller`, `view`, `migration`, `scaffold`, `api-resource`, `route`, `test`, `property`, `helper`, `snippets` (plural, not `snippet`), `admin`. Plan listed "snippet" (singular) which doesn't exist. (Task 8)
+- **`wheels db` subcommands are `reset`, `status`, `version` — not `create`/`drop`/`refresh`/`shell`.** (Task 9)
+- **`wheels migrate up/down` take no step count argument.** (Task 9)
+- **`wheels destroy` supports only 4 types** (`resource`, `model`, `controller`, `view`), not all 12 that `generate` covers. (Task 14)
+- **`wheels destroy` argument order is `<name> [type]`, not `<type> <name>`.** (Task 14)
+- **`wheels upgrade` is a read-only breakage scanner** with only `check` subcommand + `--to=<version>` flag. Not an actual upgrader; actual framework swap is still manual. (Task 16)
+- **`wheels browser` has 2 subcommands: `install` and `test`.** Plan assumed `install` only. (Task 11)
+- **`wheels server` (LuCLI core) has 18 subcommands**, not 7. (Task 17)
+- **`wheels console` special commands are slash-prefixed (`/exit`, `/help`, `/env`, etc.), not dot-prefixed.** Plan assumed `.exit`. (Task 15)
+- **`wheels ai` is a substantial AI front-end with 8 provider types** (openai/claude/gemini/copilot/deepseek/grok/ollama/perplexity). Not a stub. (Task 21)
+
+### Fabricated-flag catches
+- **`wheels info` has no `--json` or `--quiet` flags.** The Phase 0 sample had invented these. Page now documents "no flags; writes to stderr; exits 0". (Task 12)
+- **`wheels analyze` has no `--verbose` flag.** Dropped it from the workflows section the task template prescribed. (Task 13)
+- **`wheels validate` takes no args at all.** (Task 13)
+- **`wheels mcp setup` does NOT exist.** The CLAUDE.md aspirational line was wrong. Page now documents manual `.mcp.json` setup honestly. (Task 6)
+
+### Documented for the first time
+- **`wheels routes/migrate/seed/db` all require a running server** (HTTP-dispatch to `/wheels/cli` or `/wheels/ai`). Documented prominently so users aren't confused by "no command found" without a server. (Tasks 9, 12)
+- **`wheels console` requires a running server** (POSTs to `/wheels/console/eval`). (Task 15)
+- **Dry-run-by-default safety pattern**: `system clean`, `backup prune`, `backup restore`, `db reset`, and `destroy` all require explicit `--force` to apply. (Tasks 14, 19)
+- **LuCLI 0.3.7's profile system** already ships with `WheelsProfile` + `DefaultProfile` wired via binary-name-activated `CliProfile.forBinaryName()`. `WheelsProfile` sets `homeDirName() = ".wheels"`. (Task 5, Task 15)
+- **`wheels secrets`** secrets live at `~/.lucli/secrets/local.json`; passphrase from `LUCLI_SECRETS_PASSPHRASE` env or interactive prompt; no OS keychain integration. (Task 19)
+- **`wheels deps`** reads/writes `lucee.json` and maintains `lucee-lock.json`; influences `LUCEE_EXTENSIONS` env on server start. (Task 20)
+- **`wheels completion`** supports bash/zsh/md; no fish/powershell. Generated zsh script is "bash + bashcompinit" glue — not a native zsh completer. Installed script still hard-codes `lucli` references internally. (Task 21)
+
+### Chocolatey + homebrew reality-check
+- **Chocolatey v2 (LuCLI-based) is NOT yet on the public feed.** Public package at `community.chocolatey.org/packages/wheels` is still v1.0.6 CommandBox-based. Page marks Windows "coming soon" honestly. (Task 3)
+- **Formula JAVA_HOME fix landed during Phase 2b-CLI execution.** OS-branched for macOS (`opt_libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home`) vs Linux (`opt_libexec` direct). Also the wrapper now exports `LUCLI_HOME=$HOME/.wheels` eliminating the need for a CI override. (out-of-scope for the plan but wrapped in during CI debugging)
+
+---
+
+## Shared conventions applied
+
+- Frontmatter `type: reference` on every page (vs Phase 2b-Testing's `howto`); a new type for CLI docs that worked cleanly with Starlight.
+- "You'll use this for" opening on every page.
+- "Related commands" CardGrid closing on every page.
+- Headings at `###` max (some H4 for sub-subcommands, used sparingly).
+- Second-person voice throughout.
+- "the CLI" or `wheels` — never "Wheels CLI" as a proper noun.
+- LuCLI named explicitly only on the 4 pages where it's the natural subject: `index.mdx`, `configuration.mdx`, `mcp-integration.mdx`, and all 5 `core-commands/` pages.
+- Fenced `bash` for stateful/destructive commands; `{test:cli}` reserved for read-only commands safe in a fresh fixture.
+
+---
+
+## Known issues / carryover
+
+### Framework gap #11 — LuCLI parallel-spawn race (DEFERRED, not closed)
+
+**Symptom:** `Can't cast String [] to a value of type [Struct]` when `lucee.json` is written concurrently by parallel LuCLI processes.
+
+**State during Phase 2b-CLI:**
+- Hit once during Task 12 `{test:cli}` execution — retry succeeded.
+- Hit once during Task 24 full-harness verify — retry succeeded.
+- All 8 `{test:cli}` blocks pass on retry.
+
+**Risk for CI:** moderate. Current CI has `continue-on-error: true` on verify steps (see docs-verify.yml), so a single flake doesn't block the build. When the harness eventually runs at scale (Phase 2c Deployment + full re-run pre-merge), gap #11 may surface more often.
+
+**Next steps (outside Phase 2b-CLI scope):**
+- Fix LuCLI upstream: make `lucee.json` write atomic (write-to-tmp + rename).
+- OR serialize the `{test:cli}` driver's per-fixture-dir spawns in `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/drivers/cli.mjs`.
+
+### Node 22 test-runner spawn ENOENT (WORKAROUND in place)
+
+Node 22's `--test` worker spawn returns ENOENT on some child-process calls. Captured in a spawn_task for upstream investigation. `continue-on-error: true` in `docs-verify.yml` keeps CI green; harness unit tests pass locally. Not a Phase 2b-CLI content issue.
+
+### Homebrew auto-update bot (FIX PENDING)
+
+A regression in the formula auto-update workflow briefly set `MODULE_VERSION = ""` in homebrew-wheels master. Fixed ad-hoc. Defensive guards added by user in a follow-up PR (`peter/fix-auto-update-guards` branch on homebrew-wheels).
+
+### LuCLI argv[0]-aware profile (TRACKED UPSTREAM)
+
+User filed a task for LuCLI to auto-detect binary name from `ProcessHandle` so `wheels` and `lucli` coexist without requiring the wrapper to pass `-Dlucli.binary.name=wheels`. Not blocking; current profile system works via explicit system property.
+
+### Placeholder cross-links
+
+A few CardGrid entries link to pages that don't exist yet (e.g., `./upgrade/` was created in Task 16 but referenced by earlier-task cards; `wheels-commands/` and `core-commands/` directory indexes don't exist yet). Build still passes because Starlight doesn't error on missing sibling links; they just 404 on click. Phase 2c or a targeted follow-up could create directory-level landing pages.
+
+### Deployment cross-links (Phase 2c carryover)
+
+Several pages reference deployment docs as "coming in Phase 2c" — acceptable for now since Phase 2c is explicitly next.

+# Wheels 4.0 Guides — Phase 2b-CLI Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ship the CLI Reference section by rewriting all command documentation from source (LuCLI core + Wheels Module). The v4 CLI is LuCLI renamed with a Wheels Module bolted on — we document both surfaces. The legacy GitBook pages describe a defunct CommandBox-era CLI and are scaffolding reference only, not a migration source.
+
+**Architecture:** Per-page subagent authoring against two authoritative sources: `~/GitHub/bpamiri/LuCLI/src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/cli/commands/*.java` (picocli `@Command` annotations) for core, and `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` (public functions) for the Wheels Module. Each page's commands get verified against source for flags, arguments, output streams, and exit codes. `{test:cli}` harness exercises real invocations where ephemeral fixtures allow.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Astro 5 + Starlight 0.34 + MDX. `wheels` CLI v0.3.5-SNAPSHOT+ (framework v4.0.0). LuCLI upstream at `~/GitHub/bpamiri/LuCLI/` (picocli-based Java). Verify-docs harness with `{test:cli}` primary driver.
+
+**Base:** Branch `claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121` at Phase 2b-Testing head `8a814d2bd`. All commits land on this same branch; one final merge to develop happens at end of Phase 2c.
+
+**Review model (unchanged from prior phases):**
+- Content pages — subagent-driven; harness + build as verification gate
+- Integration tasks (sidebar, landing page, directory rename) — inline
+- End-of-phase final review — single `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent across the Phase 2b-CLI diff
+
+**Prologue — policy decisions carried + new for this phase:**
+
+1. **Directory canonicalization.** `cli-reference/` (Phase 0 samples: `index.mdx`, `info.mdx`) is retired. The canonical path is `command-line-tools/` — matches legacy GitBook, matches what `generate-guides.mjs` writes for other versions, matches the term users search for. Phase 0 samples are fabricated and will be deleted, not preserved.
+2. **Cold rewrite from source, not migration.** The 103 legacy GitBook pages at `docs/src/command-line-tools/` describe the defunct CommandBox-era `wheels-cli` module (install path `~/.CommandBox/cfml/modules/wheels-cli/`, etc.). They are not authoritative for v4. Subagents may skim them for IA hints but must author against `Module.cfc` + LuCLI Java sources.
+3. **Two-surface IA.** Top-level structure is `command-line-tools/` with child sections `wheels-commands/` (Module) and `core-commands/` (LuCLI native). Landing page explains the two-surface composition model.
+4. **Command grouping over 1-page-per-command.** Related narrow commands (start/stop/reload; routes/info/stats/notes; analyze/validate) share pages to keep the section navigable. Headline commands (generate, migrate, test) get dedicated pages.
+5. **Framework gap #11 must land before execution.** LuCLI parallel-spawn race (`Can't cast String [] to a value of type [Struct]` parsing `lucee.json` mid-write) will flake the `{test:cli}` harness across ~30+ content pages. Pre-flight Task 0 fixes or serializes the harness.
+6. **Compile driver in fallback mode remains acceptable.** If LuCLI PR #56 hasn't merged by Phase 2b-CLI execution, bracket-balance-only validation is still useful. `{test:cli}` carries most of the verification load this phase since CLI output is directly assertable.
+7. **`.ai/` deletion continues.** `.ai/wheels/cli/`, `.ai/wheels/mcp/`, and any scattered CLI references under `.ai/wheels/` are deleted in the task that supersedes them.

+## File Structure
+
+### New files — CLI Reference section (~22 pages)

+
+**26 tasks. Expected wall time: 3-4 sessions at Phase 2b-Testing cadence.**
+
+---
+
+## Shared conventions (carrying forward from Phase 2b-Testing)
+
+All CLI pages use `type: reference` (new — Phase 2b-Testing used `howto`; reference is more honest for CLI docs). Open with "You'll use this for," close with "Related commands" CardGrid. Use `{test:cli}` for every command example that can run against an ephemeral fixture. Use fenced `bash` blocks (no harness) only for destructive or interactive commands (`wheels new`, `wheels upgrade`, `wheels console`).
+
+Headings at `###` max. Second-person voice. No marketing copy.
+
+Sidebar sort order matches the Phase Layout task numbers within each section.
+
+Commit message pattern:
+```
+docs(docs): cli/<page-slug> — <imperative phrase>
+```
+
+### Verification template (every page)
+
+```bash
+export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/21.0.8/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
+cd /Users/peter/GitHub/wheels-dev/wheels/.claude/worktrees/lucid-thompson-b8c121/web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/<page>.mdx
+pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+### Cross-page consistency rules
+
+- **Two-surface naming.** Always refer to the CLI as `wheels` when invoking. Never "Wheels CLI" in command prose; use "the CLI" or omit. Explain "LuCLI" only in `index.mdx`, `configuration.mdx`, and the `core-commands/` landing.
+- **Flag style.** Long flags with `=`: `wheels test --filter=models`, `wheels generate model User --migration=true`. Short flags without `=`: `wheels test -v`. Match Module.cfc `parseGeneratorArgs()` expectations.
+- **Exit codes.** Report actual exit codes from source. `wheels info` returns empty string but sets no exit code (per Phase 0 audit — it's effectively exit 0). Don't invent exit codes.
+- **Output streams.** `{test:cli}` blocks should assert against the stream the command actually uses. `wheels info` writes to stderr — assertions need `stream=stderr` or the full combined-output match.
+- **Hidden commands.** 7 commands in `mcpHiddenTools()` (`mcp`, `d`, `new`, `console`, `start`, `stop`, `browser`) are CLI-only. Document them, note they're excluded from MCP in the relevant page.
+- **Subagent instructions include the Module.cfc / Java line range** where each command's implementation lives so the author doesn't have to search.
+
+---
+
+## Task 0: Pre-flight — Fix LuCLI parallel-spawn race (framework gap #11)
+
+**Files:**
+- Investigate: `~/GitHub/bpamiri/LuCLI/src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/` — locate `lucee.json` write path
+- Investigate: `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/drivers/cli.mjs` — harness driver that spawns LuCLI
+
+**Context:** The `{test:cli}` driver spawns an ephemeral LuCLI fixture per block. At 30+ blocks per run, two concurrent spawns race the `lucee.json` write and one fails with `Can't cast String [] to a value of type [Struct]`. Phase 2b-Testing hit this at ~283 blocks and got by with retry. Phase 2b-CLI will have ~100+ new blocks where most are net-new `{test:cli}` invocations.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Reproduce locally**
+
+Run harness at concurrency > 1 against a small test fixture:
+```bash
+cd /Users/peter/GitHub/wheels-dev/wheels/.claude/worktrees/lucid-thompson-b8c121/web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs --concurrency=4 src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/*.mdx
+```
+Expected: at least one block fails with the lucee.json cast error.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Identify the race in LuCLI**
+
+Open `~/GitHub/bpamiri/LuCLI/src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/` and grep for `lucee.json` writers. Find the write path (likely `ServerCommand` startup or `SystemCommand` profile setup). Check whether the write is atomic (write-to-tmp + rename) or direct.
+
+Report what you find. Two likely options:
+- **Option A (upstream fix):** make write atomic — PR to LuCLI. If this is quick, do it.
+- **Option B (harness workaround):** serialize `{test:cli}` blocks that spawn fixtures. Add a mutex/semaphore per fixture dir in `cli.mjs`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement chosen fix**
+
+If Option A: open PR at `https://github.com/bpamiri/LuCLI`, reference framework gap #11 in the description, land it, bump the pin in this repo if needed.
+
+If Option B: edit `web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/drivers/cli.mjs` to add per-fixture-dir serialization. Keep global concurrency for different fixture dirs.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Re-run reproduction**
+
+```bash
+pnpm verify:docs --concurrency=4 src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/*.mdx
+```
+Expected: no cast errors across 3 consecutive runs.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit + mark gap closed**
+
+```bash
+git add web/sites/guides/scripts/verify-docs/drivers/cli.mjs docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-19-framework-gaps-from-guides-phase-1.md
+git commit -m "fix(cli): serialize lucee.json writes in verify-docs driver"

+grep -rn "cli-reference/" web/sites/guides/src/ --include="*.mdx" --include="*.json"
+```
+Expected: no results (or only the files being deleted).
+
+If any results: update the offending pages to reference `command-line-tools/<slug>` instead.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Delete the Phase 0 directory**
+
+```bash
+rm -rf web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/cli-reference/

+mkdir -p web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/core-commands
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Remove cli-reference from sidebar**
+
+Edit `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json` — remove the `CLI Reference` section (or whatever section points at `cli-reference/`). The full `CLI Reference` section gets added back in Task 22 with all the new page entries.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Verify build still succeeds**
+
+```bash

+
+File: web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/index.mdx
+Frontmatter: title="CLI Reference", type=reference (or Starlight equivalent)
+
+Content structure (headings at ### max):
+
+1. "You'll use this for" — three bullets covering: project creation, dev loop
+   (generate/migrate/test/server), inspection + diagnostics.
+
+2. "Two surfaces in one command" — explain that `wheels` is LuCLI renamed
+   with a Wheels Module bolted on. LuCLI provides server / REPL / CFML
+   execution / system / modules / deps. The Wheels Module adds generate /
+   migrate / seed / test / etc. A single invocation like `wheels test` routes
+   to the Module; `wheels server` routes to LuCLI core. No separate binaries,
+   no separate install.
+
+3. "Getting started" — CardGrid with 3 cards: Installation, Quick Start,
+   Configuration. Use Starlight <LinkCard> or <CardGrid><Card>.
+
+4. "Wheels commands" — CardGrid with entries for each wheels-commands/ page:
+   Creating a Project, Code Generation, Database, Dev Server, Testing, App
+   Inspection, Code Quality, Scaffold Cleanup, Console & REPL, Upgrade.
+
+5. "Core commands (LuCLI)" — CardGrid for each core-commands/ page: Server,
+   CFML Execution, System & Secrets, Modules & Deps, AI & Completion.
+
+6. "MCP integration" — one-paragraph teaser with link to mcp-integration.mdx.
+   Note `wheels mcp wheels` is the canonical stdio surface; the deprecated
+   HTTP endpoint gets a deprecation mention with link to the migration doc.
+
+Verify against source:
+- Module.cfc has exactly these public commands: (list from source, don't
+  invent). Hidden-from-MCP commands are enumerated by mcpHiddenTools().
+- Do NOT claim any command exists that isn't in Module.cfc or LuCLI Java.
+
+Do NOT:
+- Invent flags or subcommands.
+- Use "Wheels CLI" as a proper noun — say "the CLI" or "wheels" (the binary).
+- Link to pages that don't exist yet — use relative paths to sibling pages
+  that this phase will create (all listed in Task 2-21).
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Dispatch subagent**

+
+3. "macOS / Linux (Homebrew)" — `{test:cli}`-safe where possible

+
+5. "Manual JAR install" — download from LuCLI releases, note the wheels
+   module gets bundled separately (check homebrew formula for how the
+   two artifacts combine). PATH setup.
+
+6. "Verifying installation" — `wheels --version` output format, what to

+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify harness**: `pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/wheels-commands/<page>.mdx`
+- [ ] **Step 3: Build**: `pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -5`
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit** with message `docs(docs): cli/wheels-commands/<slug> — <imperative>`
+
+**Subagent brief template (per task):**
+
+```
+Write the <page title> page for the Wheels CLI Reference.
+
+File: web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/wheels-commands/<page>.mdx
+Frontmatter: title="<title>", type=reference
+
+Source authority: cli/lucli/Module.cfc at line <line_range>
+
+Content structure:
+
+1. "You'll use this for" — 2-4 bullets.
+
+2. One section per command covered by this page (### heading per command).
+   Each command section contains:
+   - Synopsis: `wheels <command> [<args>] [<flags>]`
+   - Description (1-3 sentences from the function's hint or doc comment)
+   - Arguments (positional) — table of name, required?, description
+   - Flags (named) — table of flag, default, description
+   - Example invocation in a {test:cli} block if feasible (ephemeral fixture),
+     fenced bash otherwise
+   - Output sample (trimmed if large)
+   - Exit code / error conditions
+
+3. "Common workflows" — 2-3 mini-recipes combining the page's commands.
+
+4. "Related commands" — CardGrid to sibling pages.
+
+Verify against source (CRITICAL):
+- Every flag listed must exist at the given Module.cfc line range.
+- Every argument must be accepted by the function's parseGeneratorArgs or
+  equivalent dispatch.
+- Output samples must come from actually running the command — don't
+  reproduce from memory or legacy docs.
+
+Do NOT:
+- Invent flags, defaults, or exit codes.
+- Use CommandBox-era concepts (ForgeBox, CommandBox Module Root, etc.).
+- Link to pages in wheels-commands/ or core-commands/ that don't exist yet
+  in this phase — check the plan Task list for page slugs.
+```
+
+### Task 7: `wheels-commands/creating-a-project.mdx` — `new`, `create`
+
+**Source lines:** Module.cfc `new` at L392-465, `create` at L466-501.
+
+Commands: `wheels new <name>`, `wheels create app <name>` (plus any `create <type>` variants).
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- Explain the difference between `new` and `create app` (if any — verify from source).
+- Cover flags: `--port`, `--db`, `--skip-*` variants that actually exist.
+- Show generated directory tree (from actual output of `wheels new test`).
+
+### Task 8: `wheels-commands/code-generation.mdx` — `generate` + all subcommands
+
+**Source lines:** Module.cfc `generate` at L129-221. Subcommand dispatch likely in a separate service — trace from L129.
+
+Commands: `wheels generate model|controller|scaffold|migration|route|view|property|helper|snippet|api-resource|test|app`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- One H3 per subcommand type.
+- Attribute syntax (`name:type`, `name:type:index`) — verify from source.
+- `{test:cli}` blocks for at least `model`, `controller`, `scaffold`.
+- Cross-link to `destroy` (Task 14) and `database.mdx` (Task 9) for migrations.
+
+### Task 9: `wheels-commands/database.mdx` — `migrate`, `seed`, `db`
+
+**Source lines:** `migrate` L222-250, `seed` L251-276, `db` L1398-1440.
+
+Commands: `wheels migrate [latest|up|down|info]`, `wheels seed [--environment=<env>]`, `wheels db <subcommand>`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- Document `wheels db` subcommands — read L1398-1440 to enumerate.
+- Seed idempotency via `seedOnce()` — cross-link to Seeding guide in Basics.
+- `{test:cli}` for at least `migrate info` and `migrate latest`.
+
+### Task 10: `wheels-commands/dev-server.mdx` — `start`, `stop`, `reload`
+
+**Source lines:** `start` L361-378, `stop` L379-391, `reload` L331-360.
+
+Commands: `wheels start`, `wheels stop`, `wheels reload`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- Port selection (default, --port flag if exists).
+- Profile awareness (does `start` respect the current profile? Verify).
+- Reload vs restart — `reload` triggers framework reload URL, does not restart JVM.
+- Fenced bash (not `{test:cli}`) since these are stateful server operations.
+
+### Task 11: `wheels-commands/testing.mdx` — `test`, `browser`
+
+**Source lines:** `test` L277-330, `browser` L1469+.
+
+Commands: `wheels test [--filter] [--db] [--reporter] [--verbose] [--ci] [--core]`, `wheels browser install`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- Flags exhaustively from Module.cfc:277-330. Note from Phase 2b-Testing: `--format=json` is phantom, `--reporter` is parsed but not consumed.
+- Cross-link heavily to Testing section pages for HOW to write tests — this page only covers invocation.
+- `wheels browser install` (no colon) — verify from L1469+.
+
+### Task 12: `wheels-commands/app-inspection.mdx` — `routes`, `info`, `stats`, `notes`, `doctor`
+
+**Source lines:** `routes` L502-526, `info` L527-616, `stats` L1285-1345, `notes` L1346-1397, `doctor` L1212-1284.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- `info` is the fabricated Phase 0 page — document it honestly: no `--json` or `--quiet` flags. Writes to stderr (verify).
+- `routes` output format — table vs list, which columns.
+- `stats` — what it counts; `notes` — what it searches for (TODOs, FIXMEs?).
+
+### Task 13: `wheels-commands/code-quality.mdx` — `analyze`, `validate`
+
+**Source lines:** `analyze` L1001-1075, `validate` L1076-1113.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- Difference between `analyze` and `validate`.
+- `analyze` target param (all, code, performance) — verify from L1001+.
+
+### Task 14: `wheels-commands/scaffold-cleanup.mdx` — `destroy`, `d`
+
+**Source lines:** `destroy` L1114-1200, `d` L1201-1211.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- Every generator type that has a corresponding destroy.
+- `d` alias — note it exists, don't duplicate the content; just `wheels d` = `wheels destroy`.
+
+### Task 15: `wheels-commands/console-and-repl.mdx` — `console`
+
+**Source lines:** `console` L641-1000.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- App context loaded (vs LuCLI's `repl` which doesn't load a Wheels app).
+- What's available at the prompt: `model()`, `service()`, request/session scopes (verify).
+- How to exit.
+- Cross-link to `core-commands/cfml-execution.mdx` for the no-app-context REPL.
+
+### Task 16: `wheels-commands/upgrade.mdx` — `upgrade`
+
+**Source lines:** `upgrade` L1441-1468.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- What it upgrades — framework version only? CLI? Both?
+- Prerequisites (git clean, backup?).
+- Rollback path.
+
+---
+
+## Tasks 17-21: LuCLI Core Commands pages
+
+Same 4-step pattern, same subagent brief template. Source authority is the Java `@Command` classes at `~/GitHub/bpamiri/LuCLI/src/main/java/org/lucee/lucli/cli/commands/`.
+
+### Task 17: `core-commands/server.mdx`
+
+**Source:** `ServerCommand.java` + `ServerMonitorCommandImpl.java` + any picocli-subcommanded classes.
+
+Commands: `wheels server`, `wheels server start`, `server stop`, `server status`, `server restart`, `server list`, `server log`, `server info`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- Each subcommand gets an H3.
+- Engine version selection, port assignment, logs dir — verify from @Option annotations.
+- Distinguish `wheels server start` from `wheels start` (the Module's).
+
+### Task 18: `core-commands/cfml-execution.mdx`
+
+**Source:** `CfmlCommand.java`, `RunCommand.java`, `ReplCommand.java`.
+
+Commands: `wheels cfml <expression>`, `wheels run <script>`, `wheels repl`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- Three execution modes side by side: inline, script, interactive.
+- Note this is distinct from `wheels console` (which loads a Wheels app).
+- `{test:cli}` for `wheels cfml` with a trivial expression.
+
+### Task 19: `core-commands/system-and-secrets.mdx`
+
+**Source:** `SystemCommand.java`, `SecretsCommand.java`, `DaemonCommand.java`.
+
+Commands: `wheels system [inspect|paths|clean|backup]`, `wheels secrets`, `wheels daemon`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- `system paths` — where LuCLI stores state.
+- `secrets` — briefly, cross-link to any deeper secrets doc.
+- `daemon` — mention JSON / LSP modes from LuCLI README.
+
+### Task 20: `core-commands/modules-and-deps.mdx`
+
+**Source:** `ModulesCommand.java` + all `Modules*CommandImpl.java`, `DepsCommand.java` + `deps/*CommandImpl.java`.
+
+Commands: `wheels modules [list|add|install|update|init|run|help]`, `wheels deps [install|add|prune]`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- How the Wheels Module itself is registered (callback to index.mdx explanation).
+- When to use `modules install` vs `deps install`.
+
+### Task 21: `core-commands/ai-and-completion.mdx`
+
+**Source:** `AiCommand.java`, `CompletionCommand.java`.
+
+Commands: `wheels ai`, `wheels completion bash|zsh`.
+
+Subagent brief additions:
+- `completion` — how to install the generated script per shell.
+- `ai` — briefly document what it does (Lucee AI endpoints per LuCLI README).
+- Skip: `versions-list`, `parrot`, `xml` (experimental / internal).

+
+## Task 22: Sidebar + landing page integration
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`

+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Per file, decide keep / delete / merge**
+
+For each file found:
+- If fully superseded by a `command-line-tools/` page: `git rm`
+- If contains info not in any user doc: move unique content into appropriate `command-line-tools/` page via Edit, then `git rm`
+- If reference-only (e.g., internal architecture notes): leave it

+Expected: all blocks pass. Note block count for report.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Full build**
+
+```bash
+pnpm build 2>&1 | tee /tmp/phase2b-cli-build.log | tail -20
+```
+Expected: success. Note total page count for report.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Write report**
+
+Use prior phase reports as template (`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-testing-report.md`). Structure:
+- Summary (commit count, page count, block count)
+- Per-task notes (drift caught per page, notable corrections)
+- Framework gaps opened (anything new discovered)
+- Framework gaps closed (should include #11 from Task 0)
+- Known issues / carryover to Phase 2c
+- Ready-to-review link to PR

+```bash
+git add docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-cli-report.md
+git commit -m "docs(plan): phase 2b-cli report"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Push**
+
+```bash
+git push origin claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 25: Final code review
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Dispatch `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent**
+
+```
+Agent call:
+- subagent_type: pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer
+- Focus: the full Phase 2b-CLI diff (Tasks 0-24 commits)
+- Prompt includes:
+  - Branch: claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121
+  - Base: Phase 2b-Testing head `8a814d2bd`
+  - Per-task source-authority map (Module.cfc line ranges, Java class names)
+  - Red flags to watch for:
+    a. Any flag documented that doesn't exist in source
+    b. Any command documented that's not in Module.cfc or LuCLI @Command
+    c. CommandBox-era terminology (ForgeBox, CommandBox Module Root, etc.)
+    d. Fabricated exit codes or output streams
+    e. Broken cross-page links
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Triage findings**
+
+For each finding:
+- Confirmed issue → fix inline in a follow-up commit
+- False positive → respond in review thread
+- Out of scope → log in Phase 2c carryover
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Ship fix commit(s)**
+
+```bash
+git commit -m "docs(docs): cli/review-fixes — <scope>"
+git push
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update PR description with Phase 2b-CLI summary**
+
+```bash
+gh pr edit 2169 --body-file - <<'EOF'
+...updated summary with CLI Reference section complete...
+EOF
+```
+
+---
+
+## Unresolved questions
+
+- Does `wheels server` (LuCLI) and `wheels start` (Module) conflict or cleanly compose? Tasks 10 and 17 need to establish which owns the Wheels dev server loop. Expected: `wheels start` wraps `wheels server start` with Wheels-specific profile + app bootstrap. Confirm in Task 10.
+- Is `wheels mcp wheels` the documented invocation pattern or can users run `wheels mcp` alone from within a wheels project? Check Module.cfc:617 for the positional-arg handling. Task 6 resolves.
+- Homebrew tap name: `wheels-dev/wheels` vs `wheels-dev/tap`? Task 3 verifies against the formula repo.
+- Does `wheels upgrade` exist in a working state, or is it a stub? Task 16 verifies; if stub, document as "planned" or remove from scope.
+- Phase 0 sample `cli-reference/index.mdx` — is its content worth preserving any of into `command-line-tools/index.mdx`? Read once in Task 1 before deleting.

+## Verification
+
+- **`pnpm verify:docs`** — **236/236 tagged blocks pass** across 57 files. Runtime ~60-80s.
+- **`pnpm test:docs-harness`** — 29/29 unit tests pass. Runtime ~30s.
+- **`pnpm build`** — **303 pages** build clean, no broken-link errors.
+- Compile driver in `fallback` mode still (LuCLI #56 not yet merged). Once it merges, every compile block promotes to real parse-checking with no harness changes.
+
+## What changed from the plan
+
+Phase 2b-Advanced continued the Phase 2a pattern: subagents cross-check every API against `vendor/wheels/` source before writing, and flag drifts. The rate of drift caught per page was high — consistent with "the `.ai/` reference material was often invented, never verified against reality."
+
+### Major drifts caught (and corrected in user docs)
+
+**Sending Email (Task 5) — Phase 0 sample was nearly entirely fabricated.** This was the biggest single catch:
+- No `wheels.Mailer` base class exists
+- No `sendMail()` function — real API is `sendEmail()` on every controller
+- No `mailerSettings` struct — real form is `set(functionName="sendEmail", server=..., ...)`
+- No `this.from` / `this.to` / `this.contentType` / `this.attachments` instance properties — everything is per-call arguments
+- Multi-part via `templates="path/html,path/text"` + `detectMultipart`, not `contentType="multipart"`
+- Attachments via `file=` / `files=` (paths, resolved relative to `application.wheels.filePath`), not struct array
+- No `wheels generate mailer` command; only a broken snippet (see framework gap #17)
+
+**Caching (Task 4) — Wheels does NOT use Lucee cache regions.** Plan's "cache stores (ram/ehcache/redis/memcached) table" was wrong. Real implementation is a plain `application.wheels.cache[category]` struct with cull-based eviction. Also: `cacheRemove()` / `cacheRemoveAll()` don't exist — real API is `$removeFromCache()` / `$clearCache()`. Query caching via `findAll(cache=N)` ships; fragment caching is `includePartial(cache=N)`.
+
+**Multi-tenancy (Task 9) — TenantResolver ships THREE strategies.** Plan knew two (`custom`, `header`); `subdomain` also ships. More importantly:
+- `$performQuery()` auto-routes queries by `request.wheels.tenant.dataSource` — zero code needed in model `config()` to switch datasources per tenant
+- `sharedModel()` helper exists for cross-tenant opt-out (cleaner than manual scope override)
+- `tenant()`, `$tenantDataSource()`, `switchTenant()` accessors all ship
+- Unmatched tenants don't 404 — middleware returns `{}` and request proceeds tenant-free with default datasource
+- `config.*` overrides have a security denylist — certain keys like `reloadPassword` are silently rejected
+
+**Route Model Binding (Task 11) — `bindBy=` custom binding field does NOT ship.** Plan invented it from Rails/Laravel convention. Subagent dropped the section rather than fabricate API. Binding always uses `findByKey(params.key)` against the primary key. Tracked as framework gap #19.
+
+**Dependency Injection Usage (Task 14) — `toFactory()` callback registration does NOT ship.** Plan invented it. Subagent documented the plain-wrapper-CFC pattern as the workaround. Tracked as framework gap #20.
+
+**CORS (Task 12) — `maxAge` default is 86400 (24h), not 3600.** Also `exposeHeaders` arg doesn't exist. Reject path is "omit Allow headers" — NOT an HTTP 403. Plan's description would have misled.
+
+**Rate Limiting (Task 13) — more constructor args than plan knew.** Real API includes `trustProxy`, `proxyStrategy`, `maxStoreSize`, `maxTimestampsPerKey`, `maxKeyLength`, `failOpen`, `headerPrefix`. Strategies are camelCase (`fixedWindow`, `slidingWindow`, `tokenBucket`). Storage auto-creates `wheels_rate_limits` table — no manual migration.
+
+**Packages (Task 10) — `provides.mixins` default is `"none"`, not `"global"`.** Important — this is the explicit-opt-in model. Also: `ModuleGraph.cfc` for topological-sort dependency resolution, per-method mixin overrides via `GetMetadata()`, `ServiceProviderInterface` with `register(container)` + `boot(app)` hooks.
+
+**Background Jobs (Task 3) — `wheels_jobs` table auto-creates** via `Job.cfc::$ensureJobTable()`. CLAUDE.md and `.ai/` both wrongly claimed a migration is required. CLAUDE.md updated. Also: `wheels jobs work` defaults to 5s interval (CLAUDE.md implied 3s), `wheels jobs retry` doesn't take `--older-than` or status flags.
+
+**File Uploads (Task 6) — `sendFile()` ships (real helper) but uploads are pure Lucee-native.** No `params.user.avatar` struct magic — `<cffile action="upload" filefield="user.avatar" ...>` is the path. Documented honestly; didn't fabricate a wrapper.
+
+### Deletions from `.ai/`
+
+- `.ai/wheels/patterns/authentication.md`, `.ai/wheels/models/user-authentication.md` (Task 1)
+- `.ai/wheels/patterns/crud.md` (Task 2)
+- `.ai/wheels/jobs/overview.md` (Task 3)
+- `.ai/wheels/files/downloads.md` (Task 6)
+- `.ai/wheels/controllers/sse.md` (Task 7)
+- `.ai/wheels/configuration/multi-tenancy.md`, `.ai/wheels/models/shared-models.md` (Task 9)
+- `.ai/wheels/packages/overview.md`, `.ai/wheels/integration/modern-frontend-stack.md` (Task 10)
+- `.ai/wheels/patterns/validation-templates.md` (Task 15)
+
+**`.ai/wheels/` down to 25 files** (was 36 at end of Phase 2a). Remaining are Phase 2b-Testing targets, Phase 2b-CLI targets, Phase 2c Security Hardening + Contributing targets.
+
+### Preserved for Phase 2c
+
+- `.ai/wheels/security/csrf-protection.md` — `protectsFromForgery()` is real framework API; Security Hardening page will absorb
+- `.ai/wheels/security/https-detection.md` — `isSecure()` + `requireHTTPS` filter pattern; Security Hardening
+- `.ai/wheels/configuration/security.md` — production hardening checklist
+
+### CLAUDE.md reconciliations
+
+- Background Jobs "Requires migration" line removed — replaced with accurate "auto-created by `Job.cfc::$ensureJobTable()`"
+
+## Framework gaps tracked (Phase 2b-Advanced additions)
+
+5 new items added to [docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-19-framework-gaps-from-guides-phase-1.md](./2026-04-19-framework-gaps-from-guides-phase-1.md):
+
+- **#17** — `cli/lucli/templates/snippets/user-mailer.txt` references nonexistent `wheels.Mailer` base class. Anyone running `wheels snippet install user-mailer` gets broken code.
+- **#18** — Promote `wheels-dev/wheels-i18n` plugin to first-party package alongside hotwire/basecoat/sentry/legacyadapter.
+- **#19** — Route model binding lacks `bindBy=` custom field (slug/alt-column binding not possible today).
+- **#20** — DI container lacks `toFactory()` callback registration.
+- **#21** — First-class i18n primitives (CLDR pluralization, locale-aware `errorMessagesFor`, `LocaleResolver` middleware, locale-to-Lucee-locale mapping).
+
+## Architectural notes worth preserving
+
+### The subagent cross-check pattern scales
+
+20 subagents in Phase 2a, 14 in Phase 2b-Advanced — 34 total content dispatches. Every one of them cross-checked plan claims against `vendor/wheels/` source before writing. The drift rate has not gone down: Phase 2b-Advanced caught roughly as many API inaccuracies per page as Phase 2a did. This suggests:
+
+1. The historical `.ai/` docs were drafted WITHOUT source verification, and the inaccuracies propagated through every subsequent draft (plans, CLAUDE.md anti-patterns, etc.)
+2. Consolidation + verification is a one-time correction opportunity — once a user doc lands with source-verified API, subsequent docs that cross-link to it inherit the accuracy
+3. By end of Phase 2c, the drift-catch rate should drop significantly, because there won't be stale `.ai/` source material to draft against
+
+### Phase 0 sample pages were uniformly inaccurate
+
+Of the four Phase 0 sample pages (tutorial/01-hello-wheels, digging-deeper/sending-email, core-concepts/request-lifecycle, cli-reference/info):
+- **Tutorial Part 1** — full rewrite during Phase 1 (Tasks 7+)
+- **Request Lifecycle** — full rewrite during Phase 2a Task 1
+- **Sending Email** — full rewrite during Phase 2b-Advanced Task 5 (this phase) — the most egregious drift
+- **CLI Reference Info** — still unverified; Phase 2b-CLI will audit
+
+This is a pattern: any doc drafted before subagent-driven source verification is suspect. When Phase 2b-CLI starts, the CLI reference Info page should be the first thing audited.
+
+### The bcrypt / wheels-i18n / user-mailer pattern
+
+Three distinct "the framework doesn't ship this properly" findings have emerged:
+1. **bcrypt** (gap #4) — the tutorial ships SHA-256 as a stopgap with a caveat
+2. **wheels-i18n** (gap #18) — the plugin exists in 3.x form; needs package conversion
+3. **user-mailer snippet** (gap #17) — ships a broken template
+
+Pattern: Wheels 4.0 has infrastructure in place (bcrypt-as-helper, package system, snippet install) but specific integrations weren't completed. Fixing these three unblocks concrete reader paths ("I want to add auth," "I want i18n," "I want a mailer").
+
+## Open decisions for Phase 2b-Testing (next sub-phase)
+
+1. **Testing detail pages** — 8 pages per original spec (model tests, controller tests, view/form tests, integration, functional, browser, fixtures, running locally, CI integration). All are how-to type. Same rhythm as Phase 2a Basics + this phase. Estimated 12-15 tasks.
+
+2. **`.ai/wheels/testing/*` and `.ai/wheels/controllers/testing.md` + `.ai/wheels/models/testing.md` + `.ai/wheels/views/testing.md`** — four testing-related `.ai/` files remaining. Phase 2b-Testing consolidates them.
+
+3. **Compile driver mode** — if LuCLI PR #56 merges before Phase 2b-Testing starts, compile blocks upgrade to real parse checking automatically. No harness changes needed.
+
+## Next moves
+
+Phase 2b-Testing scope per Phase 1 plan: 8 Testing detail pages.
+
+Before Phase 2b-Testing starts:
+- **Rebuild + reinstall `wheels` CLI** to pick up Phase 2a gap fixes (framework-gaps-batch-1 merged as [wheels#2168](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2168))
+- **Chase [LuCLI #56](https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/pull/56)** for the compile driver auto-upgrade
+- **Optionally**: file GitHub issues from the 5 new gap tracker items (#17-21) for async work by other contributors
+
+When you're ready: I'll draft the Phase 2b-Testing plan the same way I scoped 2b-Advanced. Same cadence expected.

+# Wheels 4.0 Guides — Phase 2b-Advanced Implementation Plan (Digging Deeper)
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ship the Digging Deeper section — 14 task-oriented how-to pages covering the advanced features Wheels ships beyond core MVC. Consolidate the corresponding `.ai/wheels/` subdirectories into user docs as each section lands.
+
+**Architecture:** Same rhythm as Phase 2a — each page authored directly in Starlight-native MDX, `{test:compile}` for CFML fragments, subagent-driven content writing with harness-passing as the review gate. Each page's `.ai/` source(s) get deleted in the same commit. For sections that touch framework behavior surfaced during Phase 2a subagent drift audits, apply those known corrections up front.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Astro 5 + Starlight 0.34 + MDX. Node 22+ ESM harness. `wheels` CLI v0.3.5-SNAPSHOT+ (framework v4.0.0). Existing verify-docs harness with three drivers (cli, compile, tutorial).
+
+**Base:** Branch `claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121` at Phase 2a head `0882d169c`. All commits land on this same branch (single final merge to develop happens at end of Phase 2c, per original spec).
+
+**Review model (pragmatic split unchanged from Phase 2a):**
+- Content pages — subagent-driven; harness + build + visual review via Cloudflare preview
+- Integration tasks (sidebar audit, cross-link pass, `.ai/` cleanup) — inline
+- End-of-phase final review — single `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent across the full Phase 2b-Advanced diff
+
+**Prologue — policy decisions carried from Phase 2a:**
+
+1. **Kamal is the committed deploy path.** Authentication Patterns (Task 1) and any page that references deploy-time secrets name Kamal explicitly, not "your deploy tool."
+2. **`.ai/` folder consolidates into user docs.** Same rule as Phase 2a: each new page's commit deletes its `.ai/` equivalent. Phase 2c's final audit handles any stragglers.
+3. **Known API drift from Phase 2a to apply:** Any page that references service resolution should prefer `service("authenticator")` (short form) over `application.wo.service("authenticator")` where both work. Tutorial Part 6b uses the long form; Phase 2b-Advanced Auth page should document the short form as canonical and note the long form is equivalent.
+4. **Known framework gap: bcrypt.** Auth Patterns (Task 1) documents salted SHA-256 as a stopgap with a loud caveat that bcrypt isn't shipped. Cross-link to the framework gap tracker. When gap #4 ships, revisit.
+5. **Known framework gap: package install.** Packages (Task 10) documents the current manual `cp -r packages/<name> vendor/<name>` pattern and explicitly notes no `wheels package install` exists yet. When framework gap #2 ships, revisit.
+6. **Turbo loaded via CDN, not Hotwire package.** Tutorial Part 4 showed CDN-loading; confirm Packages page treats the `wheels-hotwire` package as aspirational until the package-install gap closes.

+
+### Modified files
+
+| Path | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/index.mdx` | Replace the Phase 0 placeholder with a section landing page enumerating all 14 topics |
+| `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json` | Add all 14 new page entries under Digging Deeper (currently just `sending-email`) |
+
+### Deleted files — `.ai/` consolidation
+
+| Deleted as part of | What gets removed |
+|---------------------|-------------------|
+| Task 1 (Authentication Patterns) | `.ai/wheels/patterns/authentication.md`, `.ai/wheels/models/user-authentication.md` |
+| Task 2 (Authorization & Filters) | `.ai/wheels/patterns/crud.md` (filter patterns sit here; evaluate at task time) |
+| Task 3 (Background Jobs) | `.ai/wheels/jobs/overview.md` |
+| Task 4 (Caching) | (no direct `.ai/` source — if a caching doc exists in `.ai/`, delete it then; otherwise skip) |
+| Task 5 (Sending Email rewrite) | No `.ai/` delete — already removed in Phase 2a Task 22 |
+| Task 6 (File Uploads & Downloads) | `.ai/wheels/files/downloads.md` |
+| Task 7 (Server-Sent Events) | `.ai/wheels/controllers/sse.md` |
+| Task 8 (Internationalization) | (no direct `.ai/` source — handle at task time) |
+| Task 9 (Multi-tenancy) | `.ai/wheels/configuration/multi-tenancy.md`, `.ai/wheels/models/shared-models.md` |
+| Task 10 (Packages) | `.ai/wheels/packages/overview.md`, `.ai/wheels/integration/modern-frontend-stack.md` (if on-topic) |
+| Task 11 (Route Model Binding) | (no direct `.ai/` source — handle inline) |
+| Task 12 (CORS) | (no direct `.ai/` source — pull from `vendor/wheels/middleware/Cors.cfc`) |
+| Task 13 (Rate Limiting) | (no direct `.ai/` source — pull from `vendor/wheels/middleware/RateLimiter.cfc`) |
+| Task 14 (Dependency Injection Usage) | (no direct `.ai/` source — builds on Task 5 concept page from Phase 2a) |
+| Task 15 (Security Hardening — NOT A DIGGING DEEPER PAGE per spec, but covers CSRF/HTTPS content) | `.ai/wheels/security/csrf-protection.md`, `.ai/wheels/security/https-detection.md`, `.ai/wheels/configuration/security.md` — these consolidate INTO existing Phase 2a validation/controllers content + a dedicated security how-to. **See Task 15 below.** |
+
+### Task 15 note — Security Hardening is out-of-scope here but the `.ai/` stragglers are in-scope
+
+The original spec doesn't list a "Security Hardening" page under Digging Deeper (spec § 4). It's implied by controller rendering / form helpers / validation pages already covering CSRF and escaping. Three `.ai/` security files remain after Phase 2a; they need homes:
+
+- `.ai/wheels/security/csrf-protection.md` → content largely covered in `basics/controllers-and-actions.mdx` (Phase 2a) + Cors page (Task 12); delete after confirming coverage
+- `.ai/wheels/security/https-detection.md` → content belongs in `core-concepts/environments-and-configuration.mdx` (Phase 2a already has env-config); delete after confirming coverage
+- `.ai/wheels/configuration/security.md` → mixed content; some goes to env-config, some to auth-patterns, some deletes
+
+Task 15 is the `.ai/` audit specifically for these three files. It runs before the final report.
+
+### Separate out-of-scope notes
+
+- `.ai/wheels/controllers/api.md` — the spec's Digging Deeper list doesn't explicitly include an "API Controllers" page, but Task 10 (Packages) or a separate API doc may want this content. Defer to Phase 2c audit.
+- `.ai/wheels/channels/channels.md` — no spec target; likely Phase 2c or delete.
+- `.ai/wheels/patterns/validation-templates.md` — probably already covered by Phase 2a Task 13 (Validation and Error Display). Delete in Task 15's sweep.
+
+---
+
+## Phase Layout
+
+| Task | Page / Action | `.ai/` delete | Review mode |
+|------|---------------|---------------|-------------|
+| 1. Authentication Patterns | Content | patterns/authentication, models/user-authentication | Subagent + harness |

+
+18 tasks. Expected wall time: 3-5 sessions at the cadence Phase 2a established.
+
+---
+
+## Shared conventions for every content task
+
+Unchanged from Phase 2a. Reproduced here for the plan to be self-contained.
+
+### Frontmatter template
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: <Human Title>
+description: <one-sentence description, 80-140 chars, no trailing period>
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: N
+---
+```
+
+All Digging Deeper pages are `type: howto`. Sidebar order is task number within the section (1-14).
+
+### Opening section
+
+- Starlight component imports line (whatever you use, at minimum `Aside`)
+- One-sentence summary
+- **"You'll learn"** bullet block (3-5 items)
+- Optional `<Aside type="note">` declaring audience assumptions
+
+### Closing section
+
+- **"Related guides"** CardGrid with 2-4 LinkCards
+- Forward links to Phase 2b/2c pages are fine (same pattern as Phase 2a)
+
+### Code block tagging rules
+
+- **CFML fragments**: `{test:compile}`, bracket-balanced
+- **CLI commands**: `{test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}` as smoke test — real commands that need a running server can't be tested in isolated fixture mode
+- **HTML / illustrative**: `title="path/to/file"` (no harness tag)
+- **Output blocks**: `title="expected output"` or no meta
+
+### Voice + prose rules (from STYLE.md)
+
+- Second person, active voice
+- No marketing copy
+- No headings deeper than `###`
+- Real names (Post, user.email), not foo/bar
+- Function names in code voice; concepts in prose voice
+
+### Verification template
+
+```bash
+export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/21.0.8/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
+cd /Users/peter/GitHub/wheels-dev/wheels/.claude/worktrees/lucid-thompson-b8c121/web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/<page>.mdx
+pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+### Sidebar update pattern
+
+Each new page gets added to the Digging Deeper `items` array in `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json`. Order matches sidebar.order in frontmatter.
+
+### `.ai/` deletion pattern
+
+1. Before writing: read the `.ai/` source(s) to extract user-facing material
+2. Before committing: verify the user doc covers everything user-facing
+3. In the same commit: `git rm` the `.ai/` file(s)
+
+### Commit messages
+
+`docs(docs): digging-deeper/<page> — <imperative phrase>`
+
+Examples:
+- `docs(docs): digging-deeper/authentication-patterns — add session + jwt + token strategies + drop .ai patterns`
+- `docs(docs): digging-deeper/sending-email — expand phase 0 sample with background jobs + attachments`
+

+
+## Task 1: Authentication Patterns
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/authentication-patterns.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 1 within Digging Deeper.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/patterns/authentication.md`, `.ai/wheels/models/user-authentication.md`
+
+**Reference material:**
+- The two `.ai/` files above
+- `vendor/wheels/auth/` — especially `Authenticator.cfc`, `SessionStrategy.cfc`, `JwtStrategy.cfc`, `TokenStrategy.cfc` (whichever exist)
+- Phase 1 Tutorial Part 6 — hand-rolled auth (6a) + built-in (6b)
+- Phase 2a `core-concepts/dependency-injection.mdx` — explains the DI container the auth strategies register through
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: Authentication Patterns
+description: Session auth, JWT tokens, API tokens — rolling your own vs using Wheels' built-in strategies.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (session vs token auth, the built-in `SessionStrategy`, JWT and API token alternatives, combining strategies).
+
+2. Prereq aside: "You should already know how filters work. See [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/). The [tutorial Part 6](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/06-authentication/) walks through session auth end-to-end."
+
+3. **Session auth with `SessionStrategy`** — the built-in. 2 paragraphs + `{test:compile}` block showing `config/services.cfm` registration + controller usage. Reference back to Tutorial Part 6b. Use the short form `service("authenticator")`; note `application.wo.service(...)` is equivalent.
+
+4. **Password hashing** — **loud caveat that bcrypt isn't shipped**. Document the current salted SHA-256 pattern (see Tutorial Part 6), note it's a stopgap, cross-link to the framework gap tracker (`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-19-framework-gaps-from-guides-phase-1.md` — see gap #4 if still open).
+
+5. **Token auth (`TokenStrategy`)** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. When a client sends `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, the strategy looks the token up. Use case: server-to-server API calls. Registration pattern identical to Session.
+
+6. **JWT auth (`JwtStrategy`)** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. Signed tokens with claims (userId, expires, scopes). Use case: stateless API, multi-device clients. Secret comes from `application.wo.env("JWT_SECRET")`; config-time setup in `config/services.cfm`.
+
+7. **Combining strategies** — short paragraph. One app, multiple strategies registered. Use middleware to pick: session for HTML requests, JWT for `/api/*`. `{test:compile}` block showing the pattern.
+
+8. **"I don't want to use the DI container"** — short paragraph. Fine. The strategies are regular CFCs; you can instantiate them manually. You lose request-scoped caching but gain simpler call sites.
+
+9. **Security pitfalls** — bulleted list:
+   - Regenerate session ID on login (prevents fixation)
+   - Timing-safe comparison for token lookup (don't short-circuit on first mismatched char)
+   - Rotate JWT signing secrets via env var — don't hardcode
+   - Token revocation means a session-ID-lookup table even for "stateless" JWT
+
+10. **Related guides** CardGrid: Authorization & Filters (Task 2), Tutorial Part 6, Dependency Injection (concept), CORS (Task 12).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 4-6 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~250-350 lines (this is a broad topic)
+- Voice: second person, no marketing
+- Every strategy name and method signature verified against `vendor/wheels/auth/`
+
+**Workflow:**
+1. Read references + confirm strategy class names against `vendor/wheels/auth/`
+2. Write the page
+3. Verify harness + build (expected: N passed, 0 failed; page count + 1)
+4. Delete `.ai/` files:
+   ```bash
+   git rm .ai/wheels/patterns/authentication.md .ai/wheels/models/user-authentication.md
+   ```
+5. Add sidebar entry (order 1 in Digging Deeper)
+6. Commit:
+   ```
+   docs(docs): digging-deeper/authentication-patterns — add session/jwt/token strategies + drop .ai patterns + user-auth
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Authorization & Filters
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/authorization-and-filters.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 2.
+
+**`.ai/` to audit/delete:** `.ai/wheels/patterns/crud.md` (evaluate — CRUD is broader than auth; may belong elsewhere or delete as superseded)
+
+**Reference material:**
+- Phase 2a `basics/controllers-and-actions.mdx` — filters basics
+- Tutorial Part 6 — `authenticate` filter + `ownershipCheck`
+- `vendor/wheels/Controller.cfc` — filter API
+- The route model binding warning from framework-gaps-batch-1 (commit `875639f59` merged to develop)
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: Authorization & Filters
+description: Filters for access control — authentication gates, ownership checks, role-based rules, and policy patterns.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn".
+
+2. Prereq aside pointing at Controllers and Actions + Auth Patterns (Task 1).
+
+3. **The filter API — recap** — short section referencing Phase 2a. `filters(through=, only=, except=)` in `config()`. Filters are private methods. Call `redirectTo()` to short-circuit.
+
+4. **Authentication gate** — `{test:compile}` block. The canonical `authenticate` filter from Tutorial Part 6.
+
+5. **Ownership checks** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   filters(through="ownershipCheck", only="edit,update,delete");
+   private function ownershipCheck() {
+       if (params.post.userId != session.userId) { redirectTo(route="posts"); }
+   }
+   ```
+
+6. **Role-based rules** — `{test:compile}` block showing filter that checks a `role` field on the user. Cross-link to Query Builder and Scopes for `.where("role", "admin")` patterns.
+
+7. **`verifies()` — type + presence guards** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. `verifies(params="id", paramsTypes="integer", handler="invalidRequest")` rejects requests with missing or wrong-type params before the action runs. Different from filters (runs earlier, checks param shape).
+
+8. **Policy objects** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. When authorization logic grows beyond "does this user own this record," extract a `PostPolicy` into `app/lib/` with methods like `canEdit(user, post)`. The controller filter calls the policy. Cross-link to DI Usage (Task 14) for registering policy objects.
+
+9. **Filter order** — short paragraph. `before` filters run in registration order. `after` filters run in reverse. Put authentication first, then authorization, then data loading.
+
+10. **Testing filters** — short paragraph. Filter methods are `private`. Test them by calling the controller action and asserting response (redirect vs render). Cross-link to Phase 2b-Testing Controller Tests (target).
+
+11. **Related guides** CardGrid: Authentication Patterns, Controllers and Actions, Route Model Binding (Task 11), Tutorial Part 6.
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 4-6 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~200-300 lines
+- Cross-reference heavily with Phase 2a + Task 1
+
+**Workflow:** same pattern as Task 1.
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Background Jobs
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/background-jobs.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 3.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/jobs/overview.md`
+
+**Reference material:**
+- `.ai/wheels/jobs/overview.md`
+- `vendor/wheels/Job.cfc` — the Job base class
+- `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` — the `wheels jobs` CLI commands (look for `jobs work`, `jobs status`, `jobs retry`, `jobs purge`, `jobs monitor`)
+- `CLAUDE.md` Background Jobs Quick Reference section
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: Background Jobs
+description: Queue work for asynchronous processing — retries, priorities, and the worker process.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn".
+
+2. Prereq aside about models (the jobs table is a model).
+
+3. **Define a job** — `{test:compile}` block extending `wheels.Job`. Override `perform(struct data)`. Set `this.queue` and `this.maxRetries` in `config()`.
+
+4. **Enqueue** — `{test:compile}` block showing `job.enqueue(data={...})`, `job.enqueueIn(seconds=300, data={...})`, `job.enqueueAt(runAt=date, data={...})`.
+
+5. **Running the worker** — CLI commands prose + `{test:cli}` smoke (real `wheels jobs work` needs DB):
+   ```bash
+   wheels jobs work                      # process all queues
+   wheels jobs work --queue=mailers --interval=3
+   wheels jobs status
+   ```
+
+6. **Retries and backoff** — short paragraph. `maxRetries`, `baseDelay`, `maxDelay` in `config()`. Formula: `Min(baseDelay * 2^attempt, maxDelay)`. Default exponential backoff.
+
+7. **Priority queues** — short paragraph. Different queue names run at different priorities. `wheels jobs work --queue=high,default,low` runs them in order.
+
+8. **Monitoring** — short prose + `wheels jobs monitor` smoke. CLI dashboard showing pending/processing/completed/failed per queue. In production, the same info is available via `model("wheelsJob").findAll(...)` — they're just rows.
+
+9. **The jobs table** — short paragraph. Requires migration: `20260221000001_createwheels_jobs_table.cfc` (check exact name in `vendor/wheels/migrator/templates/`). Run `wheels migrate latest` to install.
+
+10. **Testing jobs** — short paragraph. Test the `perform()` method directly with sample data. Don't hit the queue in tests.
+
+11. **Common patterns** — bulleted list:
+    - Enqueue from `afterCreate` callbacks to keep controllers fast
+    - Use `enqueueIn` for rate-limited outbound calls
+    - Split one-off work into multiple jobs for parallelism
+
+12. **Related guides** CardGrid: Sending Email (Task 5 — jobs pair well with email), Models and the ORM, Testing (landing).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 4-6 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~250-350 lines
+- Verify every `wheels jobs` subcommand against `cli/lucli/Module.cfc`
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Caching
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/caching.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 4.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None (check at task time — there may be a `.ai/wheels/caching/` subdir that wasn't in the Phase 2a inventory).
+
+**Reference material:**
+- `vendor/wheels/controller/caching.cfc` or equivalent — `caches()` declarations, `cache()` helper
+- `vendor/wheels/model/caching.cfc` or equivalent — model-level caching hooks
+- Lucee cache config in `lucee.json`
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (action caching, fragment caching, cache stores, invalidation).
+
+2. **Action caching** — `{test:compile}` block. Cache an entire action's rendered output:
+   ```cfm
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function config() {
+           caches(actions="index", time=10);  // minutes
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Fragment caching** — `{test:compile}` block. `cache(key="header", time=60) { ... }` in a view.
+
+4. **Page caching** — short paragraph. Full static HTML cached at the web server layer. Needs Kamal / reverse-proxy config; out of scope for this page.
+
+5. **Cache stores** — short prose + table. In-memory (default, per-node), disk, Redis (production recommended), Memcached.
+
+6. **Invalidation** — short paragraph. `cacheRemove(key="...")` programmatic clear. Model callback pattern: `afterSave("clearPostListCache")` → `private function clearPostListCache() { cacheRemove(key="post-list"); }`.
+
+7. **When NOT to cache** — short paragraph. Per-user data, freshly-required-from-DB workflows, cross-tenant responses.
+
+8. **Related guides** CardGrid: Multi-tenancy (Task 9 — per-tenant cache keys), Models and the ORM, Views/Layouts/Partials.
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 3-5 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~180-260 lines
+- **Verify framework ships the caching API claimed.** If `caches()` doesn't exist, document only what's real. If ALL of this is "use Lucee's cache API directly + layer it in yourself," document THAT honestly.

+## Task 5: Sending Email (rewrite)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/sending-email.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 5.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None (handled in Phase 2a Task 22).
+
+**Action:** REWRITE the Phase 0 sample page. Preserve its SMTP config / mailer / view content (which is good) but add:
+- Sending in a background job (cross-link Task 3)
+- Multi-part HTML + plain text
+- Attachments
+- Per-environment SMTP (dev catches mail to a file; prod hits real SMTP)
+- Postmark / SendGrid / SES integration notes
+
+**Reference material:**
+- Existing `digging-deeper/sending-email.mdx` (Phase 0)
+- `vendor/wheels/mailer/` or `vendor/wheels/Mailer.cfc`
+- `app/mailers/` convention from scaffold
+
+**Required sections (merging existing + new):**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (SMTP config, writing a mailer, sending from a controller, background-job enqueuing, multi-part, attachments).
+
+2. **Configure SMTP** — existing Phase 0 content, keep.
+
+3. **Generate a mailer** — existing content, keep. Verify `wheels generate mailer` works after framework gap #1 landed.
+
+4. **Write the mailer** — existing content, extend to show setting `this.from`, `this.to`, `this.cc`, `this.bcc`, `this.subject`, `this.contentType="text/html"`.
+
+5. **Write the template** — existing content, keep.
+
+6. **Send from a controller** — existing content, keep. Add a sentence that the default is synchronous (see next section for async).
+
+7. **Send in a background job** — NEW. `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   component extends="wheels.Job" {
+       function config() { this.queue = "mailers"; }
+       public void function perform(struct data) {
+           sendMail(mailer="WelcomeMailer", method="welcome", user=model("User").findByKey(data.userId));
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+   Controller enqueues instead of sending inline: `new app.jobs.SendWelcomeEmailJob().enqueue(data={userId: user.id})`.
+
+8. **Multi-part HTML + plain text** — NEW. Two views: `welcome.cfm` (HTML) + `welcome.txt.cfm` (plain text). Mailer lookups both if `contentType="multipart"` (verify exact API).
+
+9. **Attachments** — NEW. `this.attachments = [{file: "/path/to/invoice.pdf", type: "application/pdf"}]`. Verify API against source.
+
+10. **Per-environment SMTP** — NEW. Dev: log to file or use Mailtrap. Prod: real SMTP via `application.wo.env("SMTP_*")`.
+
+11. **Third-party services** — NEW. Postmark, SendGrid, SES all expose SMTP endpoints — configure like any other SMTP. Link to their docs for domain setup.
+
+12. **Related guides** CardGrid: Background Jobs (Task 3), Authentication Patterns (welcome emails follow signup).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 5-7 `{test:compile}` blocks (more than usual given the topic breadth)
+- Length: ~250-350 lines
+- Don't regress the Phase 0 content that already works

+
+## Task 6: File Uploads & Downloads
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/file-uploads-and-downloads.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 6.

+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/files/downloads.md`
+
+**Reference material:**
+- `.ai/wheels/files/downloads.md`
+- `vendor/wheels/` for `sendFile()`, upload handling, multipart parsing
+- Phase 2a `basics/forms-and-form-helpers.mdx` — `fileField` helper
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (upload form, saving uploads, validation, serving downloads, streaming).
+
+2. **The upload form** — `{test:compile}` block. `startFormTag(route="...", enctype="multipart/form-data")` + `fileField(objectName="user", property="avatar")`.
+
+3. **Receiving the upload** — `{test:compile}` block. `params.user.avatar` is a struct with `tempFile`, `clientFile`, `fileSize`, `contentType`.
+
+4. **Saving** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. `FileMove(params.user.avatar.tempFile, "/var/uploads/#params.user.avatar.clientFile#")`. Cross-tenant users can clash — namespace by user ID.
+
+5. **Validating** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. Size limits, content-type allowlist, extension check, virus scan integration point.
+
+6. **Storage backends** — short paragraph. Local disk (dev), S3-compatible (prod). Don't ship S3 client code in the framework; use Lucee's HTTP + `awssign`.
+
+7. **Serving downloads** — `{test:compile}` block. Controller action returns `sendFile(path="/var/uploads/...", name="...", attachment=true)`.
+
+8. **Streaming large files** — short paragraph. For files > 100MB, stream instead of reading to memory. Use CFML's binary stream helpers.
+
+9. **Security** — bulleted list. Sanitize filenames (strip `..`), validate content type server-side (don't trust `params.user.avatar.contentType` — check magic bytes), serve uploads from a separate subdomain to prevent XSS.
+
+10. **Related guides** CardGrid: Forms and Form Helpers, Controllers and Actions, Security (if a security page exists yet).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 4-6 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~220-320 lines
+- Verify `sendFile()` against `vendor/wheels/`

+**`.ai/` to delete:** `.ai/wheels/controllers/sse.md`
+
+**Reference material:**
+- `.ai/wheels/controllers/sse.md`
+- `vendor/wheels/controller/sse.cfc` or equivalent
+- CLAUDE.md SSE Quick Reference section
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (SSE vs WebSockets, one-shot vs streaming, browser EventSource).
+
+2. **SSE vs WebSockets** — short paragraph. SSE: server → client only, plain HTTP, auto-reconnect. WebSockets: bidirectional, separate protocol. Use SSE when the client only needs to listen.
+
+3. **One-shot response** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   function notifications() {
+       data = model("Notification").findAll(where="userId=#params.userId#");
+       renderSSE(data=SerializeJSON(data), event="notifications", id=params.lastId);
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Streaming multiple events** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   function stream() {
+       writer = initSSEStream();
+       for (item in items) {
+           sendSSEEvent(writer=writer, data=SerializeJSON(item), event="update");
+       }
+       closeSSEStream(writer=writer);
+   }
+   ```
+
+5. **`isSSERequest()` detection** — short paragraph. Check before deciding render format.
+
+6. **Client-side** — short paragraph + code block (plain JS, not CFML):
+   ```javascript title="app/views/posts/show.cfm — client script"
+   const es = new EventSource('/posts/notifications');
+   es.addEventListener('notifications', (e) => {
+       const data = JSON.parse(e.data);
+       // update UI
+   });
+   ```
+
+7. **Auto-reconnect** — short paragraph. The browser reconnects on drop automatically; use `id=` on events so the client can resume from the last seen.
+
+8. **Long-lived connections and timeouts** — short paragraph. Tomcat/Lucee default request timeouts can kill long streams. Tune in `lucee.json` for the SSE endpoint specifically.
+
+9. **Authentication on SSE** — short paragraph. EventSource can't send custom headers; use session cookies or URL query params (the latter with care).
+
+10. **Related guides** CardGrid: Controllers and Actions, CORS (Task 12 — SSE across origins), Rate Limiting (Task 13).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 3-4 `{test:compile}` blocks + 1 JS block (illustrative)
+- Length: ~200-280 lines

+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 8.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None (check at task time)
+
+**Reference material:**
+- `vendor/wheels/i18n/` if it exists
+- `vendor/wheels/view/helpers/` for view-helper `t()` or similar
+
+**Required sections (tentative — VERIFY the framework actually ships i18n before committing to this scope):**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" — **or, if i18n is NOT shipped,** open with "Wheels 4.0 doesn't ship first-class i18n. This page describes the pattern." Be honest — the spec lists the page; content matches reality.
+
+2. **Locale detection** — `Accept-Language` header, URL param, session-stored, user-profile-stored.
+
+3. **Translation files** — `config/locales/en.json` + `config/locales/fr.json` pattern. Simple key/value.
+
+4. **View helper** — `{test:compile}` block showing a custom `t("welcome.title")` helper in `app/views/helpers.cfm` that reads the active locale struct.
+
+5. **Pluralization** — short paragraph. Simple count + variant pattern ("1 post" / "N posts"). Real pluralization rules for CJK languages are beyond CFML defaults.
+
+6. **Date and number formatting** — short paragraph. `DateFormat(date, "long", locale)` + `LSNumberFormat(number, format, locale)`.
+
+7. **Route localization** — short paragraph. `/fr/posts` vs `/en/posts` using `.scope(path="/:locale")` + a filter that reads `params.locale` and sets `request.locale`.
+
+8. **Related guides** CardGrid: Views/Layouts/Partials, Controllers and Actions, Middleware Pipeline.
+
+**Constraints:**
+- Length: ~180-260 lines
+- **If framework doesn't ship this: scope-check with Peter before implementing.** A page that documents "here's the manual pattern" is still useful; one that invents nonexistent framework APIs isn't.

+
+## Task 9: Multi-tenancy
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/multi-tenancy.mdx`

+
+**Reference material:**
+- Both `.ai/` files
+- `vendor/wheels/middleware/TenantResolver.cfc` if it exists
+- CLAUDE.md Multi-tenancy references
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (scoping strategies, tenant resolver, per-request tenant, shared vs per-tenant data).
+
+2. **Three tenancy strategies** — table:
+   - **Row scoping** — single DB, `tenantId` column on every table, every query filters by it
+   - **Schema per tenant** — single DB, schema per tenant, app switches active schema per request
+   - **Database per tenant** — isolated DB per tenant, app switches datasource per request
+
+3. **Tenant resolver middleware** — `{test:compile}` block. Middleware reads subdomain / header / JWT claim → sets `request.tenantId`. Every downstream model scopes by it.
+
+4. **Per-model tenant scope** — `{test:compile}` block. Base model with `afterInitialization("applyTenantScope")` + default scope by `request.tenantId`.
+
+5. **Shared models** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. Some models (e.g., `Currency`, `TimeZone`) are cross-tenant. Override the tenant filter per-model.
+
+6. **Per-datasource tenancy** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block showing `dataSource("tenant_" & request.tenantId)` via model callback.
+
+7. **Testing multi-tenancy** — short paragraph. Tests should exercise tenant isolation — create a tenant, create data as that tenant, switch tenant, verify no leakage.
+
+8. **Related guides** CardGrid: Middleware Pipeline, Database and Multiple Datasources, Caching (Task 4 — tenant-scoped keys).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 4-6 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~280-380 lines (broad topic)
+- **If framework doesn't ship TenantResolver: document the manual middleware pattern, don't invent.**

+
+**Reference material:**
+- Both `.ai/` files
+- `packages/` directory in the repo — first-party packages (hotwire, basecoat, sentry, legacyadapter)
+- `vendor/wheels/PackageLoader.cfc`
+- `CLAUDE.md` Package System section
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (activating first-party packages, writing your own, publishing).
+
+2. **The activation model** — short paragraph. Framework auto-discovers `vendor/<package>/package.json` on startup. Activation = copy from `packages/` to `vendor/`. No separate registration step.
+
+   **Loud caveat (framework gap #2):** currently no `wheels package install` command exists. Manual activation:
+   ```bash
+   cp -r packages/hotwire vendor/hotwire
+   wheels reload
+   ```
+
+3. **First-party packages** — bulleted list:
+   - `wheels-hotwire` — Turbo + Stimulus
+   - `wheels-basecoat` — UI components
+   - `wheels-sentry` — error tracking
+   - (any others in `packages/`)
+
+4. **`package.json` manifest** — `{test:compile}` or illustrative block:
+   ```json
+   {
+       "name": "wheels-sentry",
+       "version": "1.0.0",
+       "wheelsVersion": ">=3.0",
+       "provides": {
+           "mixins": "controller",
+           "services": [],
+           "middleware": []
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+   Explain `provides.mixins` — which framework surfaces the package extends (controller, view, model, global, none). Default `none` = explicit opt-in.
+
+5. **Writing your own package** — `{test:compile}` block. Create `packages/my-package/{package.json, init.cfm, ...}`. Activate by copying to `vendor/`. Extend `CFCBase` or plain CFCs.
+
+6. **Error isolation** — short paragraph. A broken package logs + skips; other packages and the app continue. PackageLoader wraps each package's init in try/catch.
+
+7. **Testing a package** — short paragraph. `curl "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json&directory=vendor.sentry.tests"` pattern. Detailed in Phase 2b-Testing (future).
+
+8. **Publishing** — short paragraph. Current process: GitHub repo + install script or manual clone. NPM / registry publishing is aspirational (no package registry yet).
+
+9. **Related guides** CardGrid: Middleware Pipeline, Dependency Injection, Contributing (Phase 2c).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 3-5 `{test:compile}` blocks (mostly illustrative given the topic)
+- Length: ~220-320 lines

+## Task 11: Route Model Binding
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/route-model-binding.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 11.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None
+
+**Reference material:**
+- Phase 2a `core-concepts/how-routing-works.mdx` — the concept
+- Phase 2a `basics/routing.mdx` — hands-on resource declaration
+- The framework gap #5 fix (commit `875639f59` merged) — dev warning
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (per-resource binding, global binding, custom binding source).
+
+2. **Per-resource opt-in** — existing pattern from Tutorial and basics:
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   .resources(name="posts", binding=true)
+   ```
+
+3. **Global default** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   // config/settings.cfm
+   set(routeModelBinding=true);
+   ```
+
+4. **Explicit model name** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   .resources(name="articles", binding="BlogPost")  // resolves BlogPost class, stores in params.blogPost
+   ```
+
+5. **Scope-level binding** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   .scope(path="/api", binding=true)
+       .resources("users")  // params.user
+       .resources("posts")  // params.post
+   .end()
+   ```
+
+6. **The 404 behavior** — short paragraph. If `params.key` is set but the record doesn't exist, Wheels raises `Wheels.RecordNotFound` BEFORE your action runs. Handle in `config/events/onerror.cfm` or let it 404 naturally.
+
+7. **The dev-mode warning** — short paragraph. When binding is OFF and your action uses `params.<singular>`, a dev warning fires. Fix by enabling binding or by suppressing via `set(suppressRouteBindingWarnings=true)`.
+
+8. **Custom binding source** — short paragraph. When the URL uses slug instead of ID:
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   .resources(name="posts", binding=true, bindBy="slug")
+   ```
+   Requires the model to have a `findBySlug` or equivalent finder. Verify exact `bindBy=` syntax against `vendor/wheels/mapper/`.
+
+9. **Related guides** CardGrid: How Routing Works, Routing (basics), Controllers and Actions.

+## Task 12: CORS
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/cors.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 12.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None
+
+**Reference material:**
+- `vendor/wheels/middleware/Cors.cfc`
+- Phase 2a `core-concepts/middleware-pipeline.mdx` — middleware basics
+- **Important: Task 6's flag that `Cors.allowOrigins` defaults to `""` (fails closed), NOT `"*"`.**
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (CORS basics, configuring Wheels' built-in, preflight, credentials).
+
+2. **Enable Cors** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   set(middleware = [
+       new wheels.middleware.Cors(
+           allowOrigins="https://myapp.com,https://admin.myapp.com",
+           allowCredentials=true,
+           maxAge=3600
+       )
+   ]);
+   ```
+   **Important:** default `allowOrigins` is `""` (empty, fails closed). Configure explicitly.
+
+3. **Options** — table:
+   - `allowOrigins` — comma-separated. Default `""`.
+   - `allowCredentials` — boolean. Pairs with `allowOrigins=*` raises `Wheels.Cors.InvalidConfiguration`.
+   - `allowMethods` — `"GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,OPTIONS"` default
+   - `allowHeaders` — `"Content-Type,Authorization"` default
+   - `exposeHeaders` — comma-separated
+   - `maxAge` — preflight cache lifetime in seconds
+
+4. **Preflight (OPTIONS)** — short paragraph. Browser sends OPTIONS before any non-simple request. Middleware handles automatically when origins match.
+
+5. **Per-route Cors** — `{test:compile}` block showing scope-level middleware:
+   ```cfm
+   .scope(path="/api", middleware=[new wheels.middleware.Cors(allowOrigins="https://client.com")])
+       .resources("posts")
+   .end()
+   ```
+
+6. **Credentials mode** — short paragraph. With `allowCredentials=true`, `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` can't be `*`. The middleware rejects this combination at init.
+
+7. **Debugging** — short paragraph. Browser console shows CORS rejections. Curl with `-H "Origin: https://client.com" -v` shows the response headers.
+
+8. **Related guides** CardGrid: Middleware Pipeline, Rate Limiting (Task 13), Authentication Patterns (cross-origin auth).
+
+**Constraints:**

+## Task 13: Rate Limiting
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/rate-limiting.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 13.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None
+
+**Reference material:**
+- `vendor/wheels/middleware/RateLimiter.cfc`
+- CLAUDE.md Rate Limiting section
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (three strategies, storage, keying, headers).
+
+2. **Three strategies** — bullet list with when-to-use:
+   - **Fixed window** (default) — simplest. Count per N-second window, reset at boundary. Susceptible to bursts at the boundary.
+   - **Sliding window** — smoother. Weighted average of current + previous window.
+   - **Token bucket** — allows bursts up to capacity, refills steadily. Best for APIs.
+
+3. **Basic config** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(maxRequests=100, windowSeconds=60, strategy="fixedWindow")
+   ```
+
+4. **Token bucket** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(maxRequests=50, windowSeconds=60, strategy="tokenBucket")
+   ```
+
+5. **Storage backends** — short paragraph. `memory` (default, per-node) vs `database` (auto-creates `wheels_rate_limits` table, cluster-safe).
+
+6. **Custom keying** — `{test:compile}` block. Per-IP is default; per-API-key example:
+   ```cfm
+   new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(keyFunction=function(req) {
+       return req.cgi.http_x_api_key ?: "anonymous";
+   })
+   ```
+
+7. **Response headers** — short paragraph. `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset` added automatically. 429 response with `Retry-After` on rejection.
+
+8. **Per-route rate limiting** — `{test:compile}` block showing scope middleware.
+
+9. **Related guides** CardGrid: Middleware Pipeline, CORS (Task 12 — paired), Authentication Patterns (auth endpoints need strict limiting).

+## Task 14: Dependency Injection (Usage)
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/dependency-injection-usage.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 14.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** None (DI concept file was deleted in Phase 2a Task 5)
+
+**Reference material:**
+- Phase 2a `core-concepts/dependency-injection.mdx` — the concept
+- Tutorial Part 6b — real usage
+- `vendor/wheels/Injector.cfc`
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (strategy swapping in tests, per-request resolvers, factory registration, advanced scopes).
+
+2. **Recap** — one paragraph + link to [the concept page](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/dependency-injection/). This page is hands-on; the concept explains why.
+
+3. **Strategy swapping in tests** — `{test:compile}` block. Registering a test double in `tests/populate.cfm` or per-spec setup:
+   ```cfm
+   injector().map("emailService").to("tests._assets.FakeEmailService").asSingleton();
+   ```
+   All code that resolves `service("emailService")` gets the fake instead.
+
+4. **Per-request resolvers** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. `currentUser` resolver pattern:
+   ```cfm
+   di.map("currentUser").to("app.lib.CurrentUserResolver").asRequestScoped();
+   ```
+   The resolver's `init()` or method reads `session.userId` and returns the user. Every call in the same request gets the same instance.
+
+5. **Factory registration** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. When construction needs custom logic (e.g., read from env var):
+   ```cfm
+   di.map("jwtStrategy").toFactory(function() {
+       return new wheels.auth.JwtStrategy(secret=application.wo.env("JWT_SECRET"));
+   });
+   ```
+   Verify `toFactory()` API against `vendor/wheels/Injector.cfc`.
+
+6. **Auto-wiring** — short paragraph. Constructor params matching registered names resolve automatically. No explicit `initArguments`.
+
+7. **Service locator anti-pattern** — short paragraph. Resolving `service("x")` deep inside business logic hides dependencies. Prefer injecting at the controller/service boundary.
+
+8. **Advanced: named scopes** — short paragraph. Custom scopes beyond the built-in three via `injector().registerScope(...)`. Rare; defer to Contributing.
+
+9. **Related guides** CardGrid: Dependency Injection (concept), Authentication Patterns (Task 1 uses DI), Testing (DI swaps enable test doubles).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 4-6 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~200-280 lines
+
+---
+
+## Task 15: Security `.ai/` audit
+
+**Inline task — no subagent.**
+
+Three `.ai/` files remain from the "security" namespace that need homes:
+- `.ai/wheels/security/csrf-protection.md`
+- `.ai/wheels/security/https-detection.md`
+- `.ai/wheels/configuration/security.md`
+- `.ai/wheels/patterns/validation-templates.md` (likely redundant with Phase 2a Task 13)
+
+Steps:
+
+- [ ] Read each file
+- [ ] For each, determine: (a) covered by existing Phase 2a/2b page → delete, (b) needs its own page in Phase 2b/2c → keep, (c) agent-operational only → leave for Phase 2c agent-context decision
+- [ ] Execute the deletions
+- [ ] Commit
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/peter/GitHub/wheels-dev/wheels/.claude/worktrees/lucid-thompson-b8c121
+# per-file audit then:
+git rm <files marked for delete>
+git commit -m "docs(docs): task 15 security .ai/ audit — delete N files covered by phase 2a/2b"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 16: Digging Deeper index rewrite + sidebar audit
+
+**Inline task — no subagent.**
+
+Current `digging-deeper/index.mdx`:
+```
+Placeholder — content lands in Phase 2.
+```
+
+Replace with a proper section landing that enumerates all 14 Digging Deeper pages in a `<CardGrid>`. Pattern after the Testing index landing Peter already approved.
+
+Sidebar audit: confirm all 14 pages appear under Digging Deeper in the correct order. The section was `items: [{sending-email}]` before this phase; by end of Task 14 commit it should have all 14. If any page was missed during its task's sidebar step, add it here.
+
+Steps:
+
+- [ ] Rewrite `digging-deeper/index.mdx` with section landing content (title, one-sentence summary, "You'll learn", CardGrid of 14 LinkCards to the section pages)
+- [ ] Audit sidebar: confirm 14 items present in `items` array
+- [ ] Build + verify
+- [ ] Commit
+
+---
+
+## Task 17: Full harness + build + Phase 2b-Advanced report
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-digging-deeper-report.md`
+
+Steps:
+
+- [ ] Run full harness:
+  ```bash
+  export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/21.0.8/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
+  cd web/sites/guides
+  pnpm verify:docs 2>&1 | tee /tmp/phase2b-dd-harness.log
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Run unit tests:
+  ```bash
+  pnpm test:docs-harness
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Full build:
+  ```bash
+  pnpm build 2>&1 | tee /tmp/phase2b-dd-build.log
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Push to origin:
+  ```bash
+  git push
+  ```
+
+- [ ] Write completion report following Phase 2a report template:
+  - Table of Phase 2b-Advanced commits
+  - Deliverables checklist (14 pages + index + audit)
+  - Verification section (harness pass count, tests, build page count)
+  - API drift caught by subagents
+  - Known gaps for Phase 2b-Testing and 2b-CLI
+  - Policy decisions still open
+
+- [ ] Commit report:
+  ```bash
+  git add docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-digging-deeper-report.md
+  git commit -m "docs(docs): phase 2b-advanced completion report"
+  git push
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## Task 18: Final code review across Phase 2b-Advanced diff
+
+Dispatch a `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent with:
+
+- Diff range: `0882d169c..HEAD` (Phase 2a head → current)
+- Review focus: voice consistency across 14 pages, Diátaxis (how-to, not tutorial or concept), internal link accuracy, `.ai/` audit completeness, bracket-balance on compile blocks, sidebar matches file tree, cross-refs to Phase 2a pages resolve
+- Known items to skip flagging: compile driver in fallback mode, known framework gaps already tracked, forward links to Phase 2b-Testing / 2b-CLI / 2c targets
+
+Same template as Phase 2a Task 24. Address blocking issues inline; file non-blocking items for Phase 2b-Testing.
+
+---
+
+## Self-review
+
+**Spec coverage check:**
+
+| Spec § 4 requirement | Task |
+|----------------------|------|
+| Authentication Patterns | 1 |
+| Authorization & Filters | 2 |
+| Background Jobs | 3 |
+| Caching | 4 |
+| Sending Email | 5 |
+| File Uploads & Downloads | 6 |
+| Server-Sent Events | 7 |
+| Internationalization | 8 |
+| Multi-tenancy | 9 |
+| Packages | 10 |
+| Route Model Binding | 11 |
+| CORS | 12 |
+| Rate Limiting | 13 |
+| Dependency Injection (usage) | 14 |
+
+14/14 — all spec items mapped to tasks.
+
+**Placeholder scan:**
+- "TBD" appears in Task 8 (Internationalization) — intentional caveat that the task must verify framework actually ships i18n before committing to scope. This is scope-check territory, not a placeholder in the "implement later" sense.
+- Similar caveats in Task 4 (Caching) and Task 9 (Multi-tenancy) — all flagged as "verify framework ships this, document honestly if not."
+- No "similar to Task N" references — each task has full spec.
+- No "add appropriate error handling" stubs.
+
+**Type / method consistency:**
+- `filters(through=, only=, except=)` consistent across Tasks 1, 2
+- `service("name")` short form used consistently (not `application.wo.service("name")`)
+- `.resources(name="...", binding=true)` consistent with Phase 2a
+- Strategy class names (`SessionStrategy`, `JwtStrategy`, `TokenStrategy`) need verification in Task 1 — added explicit "confirm against `vendor/wheels/auth/`" step
+- Background job callbacks (`enqueue`, `enqueueIn`, `enqueueAt`) consistent
+
+**Known friction point from Phase 2a carried forward:**
+- Content tasks use structural outlines, not verbatim prose. Subagents compose at execution time.
+- Length ranges are guidance, not floors. STYLE.md anti-padding rule wins.
+
+---
+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-digging-deeper.md`.
+
+**Per Phase 2a's proven pragmatic split:**
+- **Content tasks (1-14)** — subagent-driven. One content-writer subagent per page, I review + commit.
+- **Integration (15-17)** — inline.
+- **Final review (18)** — single `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent across the full diff.
+
+**Two execution options:**
+
+1. **Subagent-Driven (recommended)** — dispatch one content-writer subagent per page, 14 dispatches. Same proven rhythm as Phase 2a.
+
+2. **Inline Execution** — I write each page myself. Shorter per-page latency, higher context consumption.
+
+**Proceed with subagent-driven execution of Phase 2b-Advanced?**

+### Deliverables checklist (9 pages)
+
+- [x] Model Tests
+- [x] Controller Tests
+- [x] View & Form Tests
+- [x] Integration Tests
+- [x] Functional Tests
+- [x] Browser Tests
+- [x] Fixtures & Test Data
+- [x] Running Tests Locally
+- [x] CI Integration
+
+### Integration
+
+- [x] Testing section landing (index.mdx) rewritten — all 9 cards + corrected framing
+- [x] Sidebar populated with all 10 entries (Overview + 9 detail pages)
+- [x] Tutorial Part 7 phantom matchers corrected (`toBeTruthy` → `toBeArray`, `toEqual(200)` → `$testClient().get(...).assertOk()`)
+- [x] `.ai/wheels/testing/unit-testing.md` deleted — content covered by new pages
+- [x] `.ai/wheels/testing/` directory auto-removed
+
+## Verification
+
+- **`pnpm verify:docs`** — **283/283 tagged blocks pass** across 66 files. (Hit framework gap #11 LuCLI parallel-spawn race on first attempt; succeeded on retry.)
+- **`pnpm test:docs-harness`** — 29/29 unit tests pass.
+- **`pnpm build`** — **312 pages** build clean, no broken-link errors.
+- Compile driver still in fallback mode (LuCLI #56 pending) — significant because:
+  - **Phantom-matcher drift pre-Phase-2b was invisible to the harness** (bracket-balance can't detect method names)
+  - Task 1 caught it by cross-checking WheelsTest source
+  - The Testing Overview AND Tutorial Part 7 were affected — both patched in Task 10
+
+## What changed from the plan
+
+Phase 2b-Testing continued the pattern established in Phase 2a, 2b-Advanced: subagents cross-check plan claims against `vendor/wheels/` source before writing. **Drift rate stayed high** — every substantial page caught 3-8 API corrections.
+
+### Major drifts caught (and corrected in user docs)
+
+**Controller Tests (Task 2) — TestClient is a REAL HTTP client, not an in-process simulator.**
+- Uses `cfhttp` with `redirect=false`
+- No `client.session.userId = 1` — session state lives in server cookies, persists across calls on same client
+- No `reset()` — create new client via `$testClient()`
+- Response is raw `cfhttp` result with accessor methods (`statusCode()`, `content()`, `json()`, `headers()`, `response()`)
+- Fluent assertion API throws `TestBox.AssertionFailed`: `assertStatus(n)`, `assertOk()`, `assertCreated()`, `assertRedirect(to="")`, `assertSee(text)`, `assertDontSee(text)`, `assertSeeInOrder([...])`, `assertJson(expected={})`, `assertJsonPath(path, value)`, `assertHeader(name, value="")`, `assertCookie(name, value="")`
+- `asJson()` sets Content-Type + Accept for JSON
+- POST body uses bracket-notation keys: `{"post[title]": "T", "post[body]": "B"}`
+- No auto-redirect — extract `headers()["Location"]` to follow
+- WheelsTest ships helper shortcuts: `$testClient()` auto-baseUrl from `CGI.SERVER_PORT`; `visit(path)` = `$testClient().get(path)`
+
+**Model Tests (Task 1) — WheelsTest matcher inventory, phantom matchers exposed.**
+- Shipped: `toBe` (deep-compares structs/arrays via `isEqual`), `toBeTrue`, `toBeFalse`, `toBeNull`, `toBeInstanceOf`, `toBeArray`, `toBeStruct`, `toBeQuery`, `toBeNumeric`, `toBeString`, `toBeBoolean`, `toBeDate`, `toContain`, `toInclude`, `toBeIn`, `toHaveKey`, `toHaveDeepKey`, `toHaveLength`, `toBeEmpty`, `toMatch`, `toStartWith`, `toEndWith`, `toBeGT`, `toBeGTE`, `toBeLT`, `toBeLTE`, `toBeBetween`, `toBeCloseTo`, `toBeJSON`, `toSatisfy`, `toThrow`, `notToThrow`. Negation via `notTo*` prefix.
+- BDD aliases: `feature`, `story`, `given`, `when`, `then`, `scenario`.
+- **Phantom (do not ship):** `toEqual`, `toBeTruthy`, `toBeFalsy`. Used by Tutorial Part 7 + old Testing Overview — fixed in Task 10.
+- **Test isolation reality:** `transactionMode="none"` by default. `populate.cfm` runs ONCE per test run (when `url.populate` truthy, default `true`, OR core tables missing). Per-spec rollback requires manual `transaction { ... transaction action="rollback"; }`. This is a deliberate departure from Rails/Laravel per-spec rollback.
+
+**Browser Tests (Task 6) — extensive DSL with several spec adjustments.**
+- `loginAs(identifier)` — takes single STRING identifier, NOT a user struct (plan was wrong)
+- `pause(milliseconds)` — takes REQUIRED numeric sleep, not a no-arg REPL drop-in (plan was wrong; prints warning to stderr)
+- `setCookie(name, value, url)` — `url` is REQUIRED
+- `aroundEach` auto-captures screenshot + HTML to `tests/_output/browser/` on failure — documented as bonus
+- `this.browserScreenshotOnFailure`, `this.browserViewport` class-level settings
+- CI gate: `WHEELS_CI` (non-empty, uses `len()` not equality) + `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE` in `true,1,yes`
+- `ParallelRunner.cfc` exists (383 lines) but user-facing API isn't firmly pinned — subagent wisely skipped that section
+
+**Running Tests Locally (Task 8) — CLI flags correctly enumerated.**
+- `--filter=<dir>`, `--reporter=<name>`, `--db=<sqlite|mysql|postgres|mssql|h2>`, `--verbose`/`-v`, `--ci`, `--core` — real
+- **Phantom:** `--format=json` (CLI always requests JSON internally), `--reporter=tap` / `--reporter=junit`. Plan invented both.
+- **`compose.yml` is at repo root**, NOT `rig/compose.yml` as plan said
+- **`tools/test-local.sh browser`** doesn't have a dedicated alias — falls through as literal directory filter
+- Postgres compose in overlay: `docker-compose.db-postgres.yml`
+
+**CI Integration (Task 9) — `--reporter` flag is parsed but not consumed.**
+- `--reporter=<name>` is parsed but the value is not currently used by `runTests()`
+- CLI always requests `format=json` from the test endpoint and formats a human-readable summary
+- `--ci` flag ships but `ciMode` passed to `runTests()` is also currently a no-op on output shaping
+- **Phantom:** `--parallel` flag (not shipped — matrix parallelism only)
+- Real command is `wheels browser install` (NO colon), not `wheels browser:install`
+- Browser CI gate verified at `BrowserTest.cfc:87-97` via `$isCiSkipEnabled()`
+
+### Deletions from `.ai/`
+
+- `.ai/wheels/models/testing.md` (Task 1)
+- `.ai/wheels/controllers/testing.md` (Task 2)
+- `.ai/wheels/views/testing.md` (Task 3)
+- `.ai/wheels/testing/browser-testing.md` (Task 6)
+- `.ai/wheels/testing/browser-automation-patterns.md` (Task 6)
+- `.ai/wheels/testing/unit-testing.md` (Task 11)
+
+**`.ai/wheels/testing/` directory empty and auto-removed.** 6 testing-related files deleted this phase.
+
+## Phantom matchers in pre-existing docs — corrected
+
+**Tutorial Part 7 (`start-here/tutorial/07-testing-deploying.mdx`):**
+- `toBeTruthy()` → `toBeArray()` (3 occurrences)
+- `toEqual(200)` → `$testClient().get("/posts").assertOk()` (more accurate — exercises real TestClient)
+- Updated matcher vocabulary list
+
+**Testing Overview (`testing/index.mdx`):**
+- Complete rewrite — was phantom-matcher-laden and framed populate.cfm wrong
+- Now: accurate matcher list, accurate populate lifecycle, TestClient references, all 9 CardGrid links, correct runner URL (`/wheels/core/tests` not `/wheels/app/tests`)
+
+Both landed in commit `b8f943ae9`.
+
+## Known issue from this phase
+
+**Framework gap #11 (LuCLI parallel-spawn race) hitting harness consistently.** The verify-docs harness now scans 66 files with 283 tagged blocks — many `{test:cli}` blocks spawn fresh fixtures in parallel via `Promise.all`. First harness run in this phase hit a `Can't cast String [] to a value of type [Struct]` error parsing `lucee.json` (classic sign of the race — parallel `wheels new` overwriting the file mid-read). Retry succeeded.
+
+Before Phase 2c starts, gap #11 should be prioritized. Options:
+- Serialize fixture creation in the harness orchestrator (docs-side workaround)
+- Fix the LuCLI race (framework fix — proper)
+
+The failure is transient enough that retry works, but it will cause CI flakes once the harness runs on every PR.
+
+## Next moves
+
+**Phase 2b-CLI** is the natural next sub-phase. Scope per original spec: ~110 pages of CLI Reference. This is a **migration + restructure** of existing GitBook content, not net-new content authoring. Different workflow from the content subagent pattern.
+
+Before Phase 2b-CLI starts:
+- **Audit the existing `cli-reference/` v4 content** — check if `generate-guides.mjs` already populated it from GitBook source
+- **Reach a decision on migration pattern**: mechanical convert + touch-up, or rewrite per command?
+- **Decide `cli-reference/info.mdx`** (Phase 0 sample page — last unverified against source) — likely needs an audit like Sending Email got
+
+Then draft Phase 2b-CLI plan.
+
+Optionally before that:
+- **File gap #17-21** as GitHub issues (user-mailer snippet, wheels-i18n package, bindBy, toFactory, i18n primitives)
+- **Chase [LuCLI #56](https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/pull/56)** for compile driver native mode
+- **File gap #11 fix** (parallel spawn race) — the harness will flake on CI when Phase 2c's CI workflow activates
+
+## Architectural notes
+
+### Drift-catch rate stays high
+
+Pre-existing docs (`.ai/`, CLAUDE.md, Phase 0 samples, Phase 1 tutorial) were drafted before source verification. Every Phase 2 phase has caught roughly as many drifts per page as Phase 1 + 2a. The pattern holds: the only way to trust a doc is to cross-check every claim against `vendor/wheels/` source. Phase 2b-Testing caught phantom matchers, phantom TestClient API, phantom CLI flags, phantom reporters, phantom URL — all landed silently through prior phases because none of them are bracket-balance-catchable.
+
+**Implication for Phase 2b-CLI and Phase 2c:** plan drafts for those phases are SUSPECT. Assume the subagents will catch comparable drift. Budget accordingly — don't scope tightly based on plan assumptions.
+
+### The compile driver's bracket-balance fallback is insufficient for method validation
+
+The harness catches typos and unbalanced delimiters. It does NOT catch:
+- Phantom method names (`toEqual`, `toBeTruthy`, `renderNotFound`, `hasService`)
+- Phantom parameter names (`columnName` when real is `columnNames`)
+- Phantom class paths (`wheels.Mailer` when no such class exists)
+
+Once [LuCLI #56](https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/pull/56) merges, the compile driver flips to `native` mode automatically via `detectMode()` probe. Every `{test:compile}` block in Phase 2a + 2b + 2c will get real parse-checking with zero code changes. This phase's drift catches would have been automatic once native mode is live.
+
+### Phase 0 samples are a completed cleanup
+
+- Tutorial Part 1 — rewritten Phase 1
+- Request Lifecycle — rewritten Phase 2a Task 1
+- Sending Email — rewritten Phase 2b-Advanced Task 5 (Phase 0 was mostly fabricated API)
+- Testing Overview — landed Phase 2a Task 21, phantom matchers patched Phase 2b-Testing Task 10
+- **CLI Reference Info — still unverified.** Phase 2b-CLI first order of business.
+
+### 2/3 of Phase 2 complete
+
+Phase 2a shipped 20 pages (Core Concepts + Basics + Testing Overview). Phase 2b-Advanced shipped 14 pages (Digging Deeper). Phase 2b-Testing shipped 9 pages (Testing detail). **Total: 43 content pages, plus 4 planning + report documents, plus framework gap fixes shipped separately.**
+
+Remaining for Phase 2: CLI Reference (~110 pages, Phase 2b-CLI) + Operations and Polish (Kamal deployment + contributing + glossary + `.ai/` final audit + cutover merge, Phase 2c).

+# Wheels 4.0 Guides — Phase 2b-Testing Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ship the Testing section's 9 detail pages — the hands-on how-tos that readers land on from Phase 2a's Testing Overview (Task 21). Covers model, controller, view/form, integration, functional, browser, fixtures, running locally, and CI integration.
+
+**Architecture:** Same rhythm as Phase 2a Basics and Phase 2b-Advanced — each page authored directly in Starlight-native MDX, `{test:compile}` for CFML fragments, subagent-driven content writing with harness-passing as the review gate. Each page's `.ai/` source gets deleted in the same commit. Every spec example and test helper method is cross-checked against `vendor/wheels/WheelsTest.cfc` and `vendor/wheels/wheelstest/` before the page lands.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Astro 5 + Starlight 0.34 + MDX. Node 22+ ESM harness. `wheels` CLI v0.3.5-SNAPSHOT+ (framework v4.0.0). WheelsTest BDD runner + Playwright-Java for browser testing (`BrowserTest`, `BrowserClient`, `BrowserLauncher`). Existing verify-docs harness with three drivers (cli, compile, tutorial) carrying forward.
+
+**Base:** Branch `claude/lucid-thompson-b8c121` at Phase 2b-Advanced head `045b0d231`. All commits land on this same branch; one final merge to develop happens at end of Phase 2c.
+
+**Review model (unchanged from prior phases):**
+- Content pages — subagent-driven; harness + build as verification gate
+- Integration tasks (sidebar + testing index update, `.ai/` audit) — inline
+- End-of-phase final review — single `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent across the Phase 2b-Testing diff
+
+**Prologue — policy decisions carried from prior phases:**
+
+1. **`service("...")` short form is canonical** (settled Phase 2b-Advanced Task 1). Test examples that touch the DI container use the short form.
+2. **`.ai/` folder consolidates into user docs**, same per-page deletion pattern. Phase 2c's final audit handles stragglers.
+3. **Compile driver is in fallback mode** — bracket-balance validation only until LuCLI #56 merges. Content must still compile; harness only catches typos.
+4. **Known framework gap: bcrypt.** Any test example that touches password hashing references salted SHA-256 per the tutorial pattern, with a cross-link to the gap.
+5. **Cross-engine gotchas.** `vendor/wheels/wheelstest/BrowserTest.cfc` includes Lucee-only code via `createDynamicProxy` (per CLAUDE.md). Specs that exercise dialogs / file uploads should skip gracefully on non-Lucee engines. Document this in the Browser Tests page.

+
+## Shared conventions (carrying forward from Phase 2b-Advanced)
+
+All testing pages use `type: howto`, open with "You'll learn," close with "Related guides" CardGrid, use `{test:compile}` for CFML blocks (bracket-balanced, `##` escape for literal `#`), keep headings at `###` max, second-person voice, no marketing copy.
+
+Sidebar sort order 1-9 within Testing section, matching the task number.
+
+Commit message pattern:
+```
+docs(docs): testing/<page> — <imperative phrase>
+```
+
+### Verification template (every page)
+
+```bash
+export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/21.0.8/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
+cd /Users/peter/GitHub/wheels-dev/wheels/.claude/worktrees/lucid-thompson-b8c121/web/sites/guides
+pnpm verify:docs src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/<page>.mdx
+pnpm build 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+### Cross-page consistency rules
+
+- **WheelsTest BDD class** is extended via `component extends="wheels.WheelsTest"` on every model/controller/view/integration/functional spec
+- **BrowserTest class** is extended via `component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest"` on browser specs
+- **Test file locations** per spec:
+  - `tests/specs/models/` — model specs
+  - `tests/specs/controllers/` — controller specs
+  - `tests/specs/view/` — view + form specs (verify path vs `views/`)
+  - `tests/specs/functional/` — integration + functional specs
+  - `tests/specs/browser/` — browser specs
+- **BDD matchers** — verify against `WheelsTest.cfc` before using:
+  - `expect(value).toBe(other)` — strict equality
+  - `expect(value).toEqual(other)` — structural equality
+  - `expect(boolean).toBeTrue()` / `.toBeFalse()`
+  - `expect(value).toBeTruthy()` / `.toBeFalsy()`
+  - `expect(value).toBeDefined()` / `.toBeUndefined()`
+  - `expect(string).toInclude(substring)` / `.toContain()`
+  - `expect(array_or_string).toHaveLength(n)`
+  - `expect(value).toBeArray()` / `.toBeStruct()` / `.toBeQuery()`
+  
+  If a matcher isn't in WheelsTest, document only what is. Phase 2a Task 21 already covers the high-level set; detail pages should confirm their usage.

+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/model-tests.mdx`

+4. Phase 2a `basics/models-and-the-orm.mdx`, `basics/validation-and-errors.mdx`, `basics/associations.mdx`, `basics/query-builder-and-scopes.mdx`
+5. Tests that ship in the framework itself — `vendor/wheels/tests/specs/model/` for canonical patterns
+6. `web/sites/guides/STYLE.md`
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml

+title: Model Tests
+description: Testing validations, callbacks, custom methods, associations, and scopes — the BDD patterns for the model layer.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (BDD shape, testing validations, testing callbacks, testing associations, testing scopes, common pitfalls).
+2. Prereq aside — "You should already know how to define a model. See [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/)."
+3. **Minimal spec shape** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+       function run() {
+           describe("Post", () => {
+               it("requires a title", () => {
+                   var post = model("Post").new(body="some body");
+                   expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+                   expect(post.errorsOn("title")).toBeArray();
+               });
+           });
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+   File lives at `tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc`.
+4. **Testing validations** — `{test:compile}` blocks for presence, length, format, uniqueness. Assert on `errorsOn(property)` returning non-empty array; `valid()` returning false; `hasErrors()` true.
+5. **Testing callbacks** — `{test:compile}` block. Verify a `beforeSave` callback mutates fields:
+   ```cfm
+   it("generates slug on save", () => {
+       var post = model("Post").create(title="Hello World", body="...");
+       expect(post.slug).toBe("hello-world");
+   });
+   ```
+6. **Testing custom methods** — `{test:compile}` block. Any `public` function on the model is testable:
+   ```cfm
+   it("displayTitle truncates to 60 chars", () => {
+       var post = model("Post").new(title=RepeatString("x", 100));
+       expect(post.displayTitle()).toHaveLength(60);
+       expect(post.displayTitle()).toInclude("...");
+   });
+   ```
+7. **Testing associations** — `{test:compile}` block. Exercise `hasMany` / `belongsTo` behavior:
+   ```cfm
+   it("deletes comments when post is deleted", () => {
+       var post = model("Post").create(title="T", body="B");
+       post.createComment(author="A", body="C");
+       expect(post.commentCount()).toBe(1);
+       post.delete();
+       expect(model("Comment").count(where="postId=#post.id#")).toBe(0);
+   });
+   ```
+8. **Testing scopes** — `{test:compile}` block. Named scopes, dynamic scopes, enum-generated scopes all testable:
+   ```cfm
+   it("published scope filters out drafts", () => {
+       model("Post").create(title="Live", body="B", status="published");
+       model("Post").create(title="Wip", body="B", status="draft");
+       expect(model("Post").published().count()).toBe(1);
+       expect(model("Post").draft().count()).toBe(1);
+   });
+   ```
+9. **Test isolation** — short paragraph. Every spec runs inside a transaction that rolls back by default (verify against `WheelsTest.cfc`). If transaction-rollback isn't the default, document the DROP+CREATE pattern via `tests/populate.cfm`. Cross-link to Fixtures (Task 7).
+10. **Common pitfalls** — bulleted list:
+    - Mixed positional and named args (CLAUDE.md anti-pattern #1)
+    - Asserting on `findAll()` as if it's an array — it's a query (use `<cfloop query=>`, `.recordCount`)
+    - Forgetting to reload the model after a `beforeSave` in a different test run
+11. **Related guides** CardGrid: Models and the ORM, Validation and Errors, Associations, Fixtures & Test Data (Task 7).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 5-7 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~250-350 lines
+- **Verify every matcher against `vendor/wheels/WheelsTest.cfc` before using.**
+
+**Workflow:**
+1. Read references + enumerate WheelsTest matchers
+2. Write the page
+3. Verify (harness + build)
+4. Delete `.ai/`: `git rm .ai/wheels/models/testing.md`
+5. Sidebar entry at order 2
+6. Commit: `docs(docs): testing/model-tests — add BDD patterns for model layer + drop .ai models/testing`

+3. `vendor/wheels/tests/specs/controller/` — framework's own controller specs
+4. Phase 2a `basics/controllers-and-actions.mdx`
+5. Phase 1 Tutorial Part 7 — `PostsControllerSpec`
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: Controller Tests
+description: Testing controller actions — response status, redirects, flash, filters, and params — without a running HTTP server.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (TestClient API, asserting responses, testing filters, mocking params, authenticating).
+2. Prereq aside.
+3. **The TestClient** — short prose + `{test:compile}` block showing setup:
+   ```cfm
+   component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+       function run() {
+           describe("Posts", () => {
+               var client = new wheels.wheelstest.TestClient();
+               beforeEach(() => { client.reset(); });
+               
+               it("shows the index page", () => {
+                   var res = client.get("/posts");
+                   expect(res.status).toBe(200);
+                   expect(res.body).toInclude("Posts");
+               });
+           });
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+   Note: **verify `TestClient` constructor + HTTP-method signatures against source before documenting.** Typical shape: `client.get(path)`, `client.post(path, params={})`, response has `status`, `body`, `redirectedTo`, `flashMessages` or similar.
+4. **Assertion surface** — bulleted list of response fields available after a request: status, body, content type, redirect target, flash messages. Cross-check against TestClient implementation.
+5. **Testing redirects** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   it("redirects after successful create", () => {
+       var res = client.post("/posts", {post: {title: "New", body: "B"}});
+       expect(res.status).toBe(302);
+       expect(res.redirectedTo).toInclude("/posts/");
+   });
+   ```
+6. **Testing flash messages** — `{test:compile}` block. After a redirect, the next request sees the flash.
+7. **Testing filters indirectly** — `{test:compile}` block. Can't call private filter methods directly; assert their effect through the response (redirect to login, flash message, 403).
+8. **Authenticating in tests** — `{test:compile}` block. Pre-populate session state:
+   ```cfm
+   it("allows logged-in users to edit their own posts", () => {
+       client.session.userId = alice.id;
+       var res = client.get("/posts/#alicePost.id#/edit");
+       expect(res.status).toBe(200);
+   });
+   ```
+   **Verify `client.session.*` API against source.** If it's `client.setSession(...)` or similar, use the real form.
+9. **Mocking params** — short paragraph. Pass a struct as the second argument to `post()`/`put()`. TestClient builds the params struct the controller sees.
+10. **Related guides** CardGrid: Controllers and Actions, Authorization & Filters, Tutorial Part 7, Fixtures & Test Data.
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 5-7 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~250-350 lines
+- **Verify every TestClient method against `vendor/wheels/wheelstest/TestClient.cfc`.** This is the most drift-prone file; treat it like Phase 2b-Advanced treated the middleware classes.
+
+**Workflow:** standard.

+2. Phase 2a `basics/views-layouts-partials.mdx`, `basics/forms-and-form-helpers.mdx`
+3. Framework gap #13's `data-auto-id` attribute (shipped via PR #2168) — test selectors pattern
+4. `vendor/wheels/tests/specs/view/` for framework-level view tests
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: View & Form Tests
+description: Testing rendered view output, form helpers, and the data-auto-id attribute for stable selectors.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 4
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (rendering a view in a test, asserting on output, form-helper testing, `data-auto-id` usage in selectors).
+2. Prereq aside.
+3. **Rendering a view inside a spec** — short prose. Two approaches:
+   - Via TestClient (full stack): `client.get("/posts")` returns rendered HTML in `res.body`
+   - Via the `renderView()` helper directly (isolated): `var output = renderView(controller="posts", action="index", ...)` — verify this helper exists and documents its surface; if not, document the TestClient path only
+4. **Asserting on rendered output** — `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   it("renders the post title as an h1", () => {
+       var res = client.get("/posts/#post.id#");
+       expect(res.body).toInclude("<h1>My Title</h1>");
+   });
+   ```
+5. **Testing form helpers via output** — `{test:compile}` block. The form helpers emit both `id="post-title"` (dash) AND `data-auto-id="post_title"` (underscore). Tests can target either:
+   ```cfm
+   it("emits the expected form field ids", () => {
+       var res = client.get("/posts/new");
+       expect(res.body).toInclude("id=""post-title""");
+       expect(res.body).toInclude("data-auto-id=""post_title""");
+   });
+   ```
+6. **The `data-auto-id` convention** — short paragraph. Tests written against the underscore form (`data-auto-id`) are more portable; they survive template rename drift where dash-ids might collide. Cross-link to Forms and Form Helpers.
+7. **Snapshot-style output matching** — short paragraph. Use inline `.toInclude` / `.toContain` rather than full snapshot comparison. Full snapshots turn into "update snapshot" noise; targeted substrings pin the real assertion.
+8. **Testing form submission round-trips** — `{test:compile}` block combining GET form + POST submit + assert redirect:
+   ```cfm
+   it("round-trips through new → create → show", () => {
+       var showForm = client.get("/posts/new");
+       expect(showForm.status).toBe(200);
+       var submit = client.post("/posts", {post: {title: "T", body: "B"}});
+       expect(submit.status).toBe(302);
+   });
+   ```
+9. **Related guides** CardGrid: Views/Layouts/Partials, Forms and Form Helpers, Controller Tests, Browser Tests.

+title: Integration Tests
+description: Cross-model, cross-controller workflows — the in-process tests that exercise real persistence and real routing.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 5
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (what integration tests are, when to reach for them vs unit or browser tests, multi-model workflows, transactions in tests).
+2. **Integration vs other test types** — table:
+   | Level | What it exercises | Speed |
+   |-------|-------------------|-------|
+   | Model test | One model in isolation | Fast (no HTTP) |
+   | Controller test | One action + its dependencies | Fast (TestClient, no browser) |
+   | Integration test | Multiple controllers or a multi-step workflow | Medium (TestClient, multiple requests) |
+   | Functional test | Full request lifecycle end-to-end | Medium-Slow |
+   | Browser test | UI-driven, real browser | Slowest |
+3. **A multi-step workflow spec** — `{test:compile}` block. Signup → login → create post → comment:
+   ```cfm
+   it("supports the signup-to-comment flow", () => {
+       // signup
+       client.post("/users", {user: {email: "a@a.com", password: "x"}});
+       // login
+       client.post("/login", {session: {email: "a@a.com", password: "x"}});
+       // create post
+       var postRes = client.post("/posts", {post: {title: "T", body: "B"}});
+       expect(postRes.status).toBe(302);
+       // comment
+       var commentRes = client.post("/posts/1/comments", {comment: {author: "A", body: "C"}});
+       expect(commentRes.status).toBe(302);
+   });
+   ```
+4. **Transactions in integration tests** — short paragraph. Each integration test often wraps in a `transaction { ... }` that rolls back at the end; this keeps tests fast and reset-free. Verify how `WheelsTest` handles this by default.
+5. **Asserting on DB state** — `{test:compile}` block. After the workflow, verify the persistence side:
+   ```cfm
+   expect(model("Post").count()).toBe(1);
+   expect(model("Comment").count(where="postId=1")).toBe(1);
+   ```

+description: End-to-end request-response tests without a real browser — route matching, middleware, full action execution.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 6
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (what functional tests verify, the TestClient, how functional differs from integration, when to use each).
+2. **Functional vs integration** — short paragraph. Integration tests multiple actors (multiple controllers or models). Functional tests a single feature end-to-end (GET → route match → middleware → filter → action → view render → response). Both use the TestClient; the scope differs.
+3. **A functional spec** — `{test:compile}` block. Full request lifecycle:
+   ```cfm
+   it("matches a public GET /posts/:key and renders the show view", () => {
+       var post = model("Post").create(title="T", body="B", status="published");
+       var res = client.get("/posts/#post.id#");
+       expect(res.status).toBe(200);
+       expect(res.headers["Content-Type"]).toInclude("text/html");
+       expect(res.body).toInclude("<h1>T</h1>");
+   });
+   ```
+4. **Testing middleware effects** — `{test:compile}` block. Rate limiter, Cors, SecurityHeaders middleware all show up in the response headers:
+   ```cfm
+   it("applies security headers to every response", () => {
+       var res = client.get("/posts");
+       expect(res.headers["X-Frame-Options"]).toBe("SAMEORIGIN");
+       expect(res.headers["X-Content-Type-Options"]).toBe("nosniff");
+   });
+   ```
+5. **Testing HTTP method dispatch** — `{test:compile}` block. Route model binding, redirects for non-member actions, 404 for missing records.
+6. **Testing error paths** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. Unauthorized access → 302 to login. Missing record → 404 via RecordNotFound. Validation error → 422 with partial rendered.
+7. **When to choose functional over integration** — short paragraph:
+   - Functional: "does this one feature work end-to-end?" Single HTTP request.
+   - Integration: "does this multi-step user journey work?" Multiple HTTP requests.

+               });
+           });
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+   **Critical:** `if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;` at the top of every `it` block. When Playwright JARs aren't installed (CI, fresh machine), the `beforeAll` sets this flag and specs should exit gracefully.
+5. **The fluent DSL — full method list** — bulleted list, grouped. Cross-check every method against `BrowserClient.cfc`:
+   - **Navigation:** `visit`, `visitUrl`, `visitRoute`, `back`, `forward`, `refresh`
+   - **Interaction:** `click`, `press`, `fill`, `type`, `clear`, `select`, `check`, `uncheck`, `attach`, `dragAndDrop`
+   - **Keyboard:** `keys`, `pressEnter`, `pressTab`, `pressEscape`
+   - **Waiting:** `waitFor`, `waitForText`, `waitForUrl`
+   - **Scoping:** `within(selector, callback)`
+   - **Cookies:** `setCookie`, `deleteCookie`, `cookie`, `clearCookies`
+   - **Auth:** `loginAs`, `logout`
+   - **Dialogs (Lucee only):** `acceptDialog`, `dismissDialog`, `dialogMessage`
+   - **Viewport:** `resize`, `resizeToMobile`, `resizeToTablet`, `resizeToDesktop`
+   - **Script:** `script`, `pause`
+   - **Terminals:** `currentUrl`, `title`, `pageSource`, `text`, `value`, `screenshot`
+6. **Assertions** — subsection. Cross-check against `BrowserClient.cfc`:
+   - Text/vis/presence: `assertSee`, `assertDontSee`, `assertSeeIn`, `assertVisible`, `assertMissing`, `assertPresent`, `assertNotPresent`
+   - URL/title/query: `assertUrlIs`, `assertUrlContains`, `assertTitleContains`, `assertQueryStringHas`, `assertQueryStringMissing`, `assertRouteIs`
+   - Form: `assertInputValue`, `assertChecked`, `assertHasClass`
+7. **Auth fixtures (`loginAs`)** — short prose + `{test:compile}` block. Bypasses the login form by pre-setting session state via the `/_browser/login-as` fixture route (mounted automatically in test mode):
+   ```cfm
+   this.browser.loginAs(user={id: 1, email: "alice@example.com"}).visitRoute("posts");
+   ```
+8. **Using `data-auto-id` selectors** — short paragraph. Selectors can target the dash form (`#post-title`) or the underscore form (`[data-auto-id="post_title"]`). Prefer `data-auto-id` for portability. Cross-link to Forms and Form Helpers.
+9. **Dialogs on Lucee** — short paragraph + caveat. `acceptDialog`, `dismissDialog`, `dialogMessage` use `createDynamicProxy` — Lucee-only. Adobe / BoxLang specs skip gracefully via engine detection. Cross-link to `CLAUDE.md` cross-engine notes.
+10. **CI-ready specs** — short paragraph. The test suite installs Playwright JARs + Chromium (cached via `browser-manifest.json` hash). Browser specs run as part of the normal suite. `WHEELS_BROWSER_TEST_BASE_URL=http://localhost:60007` is set automatically.
+11. **Common patterns** — bulleted list. Screenshot-on-fail, trace recording, per-spec engine selection, stable selectors.
+12. **Related guides** CardGrid: View & Form Tests (Task 3), Forms and Form Helpers, Running Tests Locally (Task 8), CI Integration (Task 9).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 5-7 `{test:compile}` blocks + 1 `{test:cli}` smoke
+- Length: ~320-420 lines (this is the broadest testing page)
+- **Verify every DSL method and assertion name against `vendor/wheels/wheelstest/BrowserClient.cfc`.** Skip anything that doesn't ship.
+
+**Workflow:** standard.
+

+
+## Task 7: Fixtures & Test Data
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/fixtures-and-test-data.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 8.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** (partial `.ai/wheels/testing/unit-testing.md` if its content splits across this + Task 8)
+
+**Reference material:**
+1. `.ai/wheels/testing/unit-testing.md`
+2. `vendor/wheels/tests/populate.cfm` — the framework's own `populate.cfm`
+3. `tests/populate.cfm` pattern from a fresh app
+4. `tests/_assets/` test-only models pattern
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: Fixtures & Test Data
+description: Seeding test databases — tests/populate.cfm, test-only models, and factory patterns.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 8
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (populate.cfm, idempotent setup, test-only models, factory patterns).
+2. **`tests/populate.cfm` — the canonical setup** — short prose + `{test:compile}` block:
+   ```cfm
+   // tests/populate.cfm
+   // Runs before each spec. Drop + create tables, seed known data.
+   $dbinfo(action="tableinfo", table="posts", result="local.info");
+   if (local.info.recordCount > 0) {
+       execute("DROP TABLE posts");
+   }
+   execute("CREATE TABLE posts (id integer primary key, title varchar(120), body text, status varchar(20))");
+   execute("INSERT INTO posts (id, title, body, status) VALUES (1, 'Seed 1', 'Body', 'published')");
+   ```
+   **Verify the scope gotcha from CLAUDE.md:** "Wheels internal functions (`$dbinfo`, `model()`, etc.) aren't available as bare calls in `.cfm` files included from plain CFCs. Use `application.wo.model()` or native CFML tags (`cfdbinfo`)."
+3. **Test-only models** — short prose + `{test:compile}` block. `tests/_assets/models/` for models that only exist in the test suite:
+   ```cfm
+   component extends="Model" {
+       function config() {
+           tableName("test_posts");
+           setPrimaryKey("id");
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+4. **Factory patterns** — short paragraph + `{test:compile}` block. When `populate.cfm` is too heavy for a specific spec, factory-style builders keep tests readable:
+   ```cfm
+   private function buildPost(struct overrides={}) {
+       var defaults = {title: "Default Title", body: "Default Body", status: "published"};
+       StructAppend(defaults, arguments.overrides, true);
+       return model("Post").new(argumentCollection=defaults);
+   }
+   ```
+5. **Idempotent setup** — short paragraph. `populate.cfm` typically DROPs + CREATEs + seeds. This is cheap on SQLite (the reference platform) but expensive on production DB engines. For cross-engine CI, consider transaction-rollback isolation over DROP/CREATE.
+6. **Per-test vs per-suite scope** — short paragraph. `beforeEach` runs `populate.cfm`. `beforeAll` runs once per spec file. The framework default is per-suite-file; wire per-test if specs need full isolation.
+7. **Testing associations with fixtures** — short prose + `{test:compile}` block. Pre-create parent records in `populate.cfm`, then in specs just build children:
+   ```cfm
+   // populate.cfm creates posts with id 1-3
+   // spec:
+   var comment = model("Comment").create(postId=1, author="A", body="C");
+   expect(comment.valid()).toBeTrue();
+   ```
+8. **Related guides** CardGrid: Model Tests, Running Tests Locally (Task 8), Seeding (basics — different concern), Models and the ORM.
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 4-6 `{test:compile}` blocks
+- Length: ~220-300 lines
+- **Respect the CLAUDE.md scope gotcha for `.cfm` files.**
+
+**Workflow:** standard.

+
+## Task 8: Running Tests Locally
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/running-tests-locally.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 9.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** possibly `.ai/wheels/testing/unit-testing.md` (audit content at task time — overlapping with Task 7 and Task 9; delete if no unique content remains).
+
+**Reference material:**
+1. `.ai/wheels/testing/unit-testing.md` (audit)
+2. `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` — `wheels test` subcommand
+3. `tools/test-local.sh` — the one-shot LuCLI test script (mentioned in CLAUDE.md)
+4. Docker `compose.yml` in `rig/` — the cross-engine test setup
+5. `CLAUDE.md` — sections on local testing (LuCLI + Docker)
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: Running Tests Locally
+description: Running the test suite — wheels test run, tools/test-local.sh, filtering, and Docker cross-engine matrix.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 9
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (the `wheels test` CLI, the local shell script, filtering tests, running cross-engine via Docker).
+2. **Fastest path: `wheels test run`** — short prose + `{test:cli}` smoke:
+   ```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+   wheels --version
+   ```
+   In prose:
+   - `wheels test run` — full suite
+   - `wheels test run --filter=models` — directory filter
+   - `wheels test run --format=json` — CI-parseable output
+   - `wheels test run --reporter=tap` — tap-formatted for editor integrations
+3. **LuCLI one-shot: `tools/test-local.sh`** — short prose + illustrative bash block:
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   bash tools/test-local.sh              # run all core tests
+   bash tools/test-local.sh model        # run model tests only
+   bash tools/test-local.sh browser      # run browser tests only
+   ```
+4. **The test runner HTTP URL** — short prose. Direct-hit URL pattern:
+   ```
+   http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json
+   http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json&directory=tests.specs.model
+   ```
+   Useful when iterating on a specific spec file during development.
+5. **Prerequisites** — short bulleted list: Java 21, LuCLI (brew install / choco install / install script), SQLite.
+6. **Docker cross-engine** — short prose + illustrative bash block. `rig/compose.yml` defines services per engine + database:
+   ```bash title="your shell — in wheels repo rig/"
+   docker compose up -d lucee7 adobe2025
+   curl -s "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json" > /tmp/lucee7.json
+   curl -s "http://localhost:62025/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json" > /tmp/adobe2025.json
+   ```
+   Engine ports: lucee5=60005, lucee6=60006, lucee7=60007, adobe2018=62018, adobe2021=62021, adobe2023=62023, adobe2025=62025, boxlang=60001.
+7. **Testing against specific databases** — short paragraph:
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   docker compose up -d lucee7 mysql
+   curl -sf "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=mysql&format=json"
+   ```
+   Supported: `h2` (default), `sqlite`, `mysql`, `postgresql`, `mssql`, `cockroachdb`.
+8. **Known cross-engine gotchas** — short bulleted list from CLAUDE.md:
+   - Lucee/Adobe struct member function differences (`struct.map()` resolution)
+   - Adobe CF doesn't support function members on the `application` scope
+   - Closure `this` capture differences
+   - Bracket-notation function call in Adobe 2021/2023 parser
+   - `private` mixin functions not integrated (use `public` with `$` prefix)
+9. **Cleanup** — short paragraph. `docker compose down` stops containers. SQLite DB files in `rig/` can be deleted between runs.
+10. **Related guides** CardGrid: CI Integration (Task 9), Browser Tests (Task 6), Fixtures & Test Data (Task 7).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- 1 `{test:cli}` smoke + several illustrative bash blocks (not harness-tested — they need running servers)
+- Length: ~250-350 lines
+- **Verify every `wheels test` flag against `cli/lucli/Module.cfc`.**
+
+**Workflow:** standard.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: CI Integration
+
+**Page:** `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/ci-integration.mdx`
+
+**Type:** `howto`. **Sidebar order:** 10.
+
+**`.ai/` to delete:** none direct.
+
+**Reference material:**
+1. `.github/workflows/tests.yml` (or similar) — the framework's own test CI
+2. Phase 0 `.github/workflows/docs-verify.yml` — reference for Actions patterns
+3. `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` — `wheels test run --format=json` output shape
+4. `CLAUDE.md` — CI soft-fail databases section
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: CI Integration
+description: Running Wheels tests in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI — cross-engine matrix, JSON output, soft-fail databases.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 10
+---
+```
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. Opening + "You'll learn" (GitHub Actions template, JSON test output, cross-engine matrix, soft-fail databases, parallel execution).
+2. **GitHub Actions — minimum viable** — illustrative YAML block:
+   ```yaml title=".github/workflows/tests.yml"
+   name: tests
+   on: [pull_request, push]
+   jobs:
+     test:
+       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+       steps:
+         - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+         - uses: actions/setup-java@v4
+           with:
+             java-version: '21'
+             distribution: 'temurin'
+         - name: Install wheels CLI
+           run: curl -fsSL https://get.wheels.dev/install.sh | sh
+         - name: Run tests
+           run: wheels test run --format=json > /tmp/results.json
+         - name: Parse results
+           run: |
+             python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('/tmp/results.json')); print(f'{d[\"totalPass\"]} pass, {d[\"totalFail\"]} fail'); exit(1 if d['totalFail'] > 0 else 0)"
+   ```
+3. **JSON output shape** — short paragraph + example:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "totalPass": 42,
+     "totalFail": 0,
+     "totalError": 0,
+     "bundleStats": [
+       {
+         "suiteStats": [
+           { "specStats": [ { "status": "Passed", "name": "..." } ] }
+         ]
+       }
+     ]
+   }
+   ```
+   Every CI scraper uses `totalPass`, `totalFail`, `totalError`. The nested `bundleStats` / `specStats` surface per-spec detail for richer reporting.
+4. **Cross-engine matrix via Docker** — short prose + illustrative YAML:
+   ```yaml
+   strategy:
+     matrix:
+       engine: [lucee7, adobe2025, boxlang]
+       database: [sqlite, mysql, postgresql]
+   ```
+   Each matrix cell boots the appropriate Docker services and targets the right port.
+5. **Soft-fail databases** — short paragraph. Some DB engines have known failing tests (e.g., CockroachDB in the framework's own CI). Mark them soft-fail via `continue-on-error: true` on the matrix cell. CLAUDE.md lists which DBs are currently soft-fail. Remove a DB from the soft-fail list once its tests are fixed.
+6. **Caching dependencies** — short prose + YAML. Java setup-java action already caches; Playwright JARs can be cached via `actions/cache` keyed by `browser-manifest.json` hash.
+7. **Test result reporting** — short paragraph. `EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action` ingests JUnit-style XML. If `wheels test run --format=junit` exists, use that. Otherwise, convert JSON → JUnit with a small script.
+8. **Parallel execution** — short paragraph. `wheels test run --parallel` (verify this flag ships) or matrix-level parallelism via GitHub Actions. Per-spec isolation via transaction rollback in `populate.cfm`.
+9. **Common CI failures** — bulleted list:
+   - Playwright not installed (browser tests skip with `browserTestSkipped=true`; see Task 6)
+   - `JAVA_HOME` unset (framework gap #12 in the tracker — fixed in LuCLI)
+   - Docker not available on runner (use setup-docker or a runner with docker pre-installed)
+   - Race between DB startup and first request (add a `wait-for-it.sh` before the test step)
+10. **Related guides** CardGrid: Running Tests Locally (Task 8), Browser Tests (Task 6), Deployment (Phase 2c target).
+
+**Constraints:**
+- No `{test:*}` blocks (everything is illustrative YAML/bash for external systems)
+- Length: ~220-300 lines
+- **Verify `--format=json` output shape against `cli/lucli/Module.cfc`.**
+
+**Workflow:** standard.
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Testing index update + sidebar audit
+
+**Inline task.**
+
+### Testing index update
+
+Current `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/index.mdx` ends with a 4-LinkCard CardGrid pointing at Model Tests, Controller Tests, Browser Tests, Running Tests Locally. Expand to all 9 Phase 2b-Testing pages in a proper LinkCard grid.
+
+- [ ] Read current testing/index.mdx
+- [ ] Replace the "Where to go next" CardGrid with all 9 LinkCards (per the DD index pattern Phase 2b-Advanced Task 16 established)
+- [ ] Verify build
+
+### Sidebar audit
+
+The Testing section in `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json` currently has:
+```json
+{
+  "label": "Testing",
+  "link": "/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/",
+  "items": [
+    { "label": "Overview", "link": "/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] Confirm all 9 new pages have been added during Tasks 1-9 (each task's commit adds its own entry)
+- [ ] Confirm order 1-10 matches sidebar.order frontmatter
+- [ ] Build to verify
+
+Commit:
+```bash
+git add web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/index.mdx web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/v4-0-0-snapshot.json
+git commit -m "docs(docs): testing/index — expand landing cardgrid to 9 detail pages"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 11: `.ai/wheels/testing/` straggler audit
+
+**Inline task.**
+
+After Tasks 1-9, `.ai/wheels/` should have the following testing-related files gone:
+- `.ai/wheels/models/testing.md` (Task 1)
+- `.ai/wheels/controllers/testing.md` (Task 2)
+- `.ai/wheels/views/testing.md` (Task 3)
+- `.ai/wheels/testing/browser-testing.md` (Task 6)
+- `.ai/wheels/testing/browser-automation-patterns.md` (Task 6)
+
+Potentially remaining:
+- `.ai/wheels/testing/unit-testing.md` — audit content at task time. May have been split across Task 7 (Fixtures), Task 8 (Running Tests Locally), Task 9 (CI). If any user-facing content remains uncovered, either fold into the right page or delete.
+
+- [ ] `find .ai/wheels -name "*testing*" -o -path "*testing*"` — inventory stragglers
+- [ ] For each, decide: covered (delete), agent-operational (preserve for Phase 2c agent-context decision), Phase 2c target (preserve)
+- [ ] Execute deletions + commit:
+  ```bash
+  git rm <files marked for delete>
+  git commit -m "docs(docs): task 11 .ai/ testing stragglers audit — delete N covered files"
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## Task 12: Full harness + build + Phase 2b-Testing report
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-testing-report.md`
+
+Steps:
+- [ ] Full harness: `pnpm verify:docs` — expect 236 + N new blocks (N = sum of tagged blocks from Tasks 1-9, probably 35-55)
+- [ ] Unit tests: `pnpm test:docs-harness` — expect 29/29 pass unchanged
+- [ ] Build: `pnpm build` — expect ~312 pages (303 + 9)
+- [ ] Push branch
+- [ ] Write completion report following Phase 2b-Advanced report template:
+  - Table of commits
+  - Deliverables checklist (9 pages + index + sidebar + audit)
+  - Verification section
+  - API drift caught
+  - `.ai/` files deleted
+  - Known gaps for Phase 2b-CLI
+- [ ] Commit report:
+  ```bash
+  git add docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-testing-report.md
+  git commit -m "docs(docs): phase 2b-testing completion report"
+  git push
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## Task 13: Final code review across Phase 2b-Testing diff
+
+Dispatch a `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent with:
+
+- Diff range: `045b0d231..HEAD` (Phase 2b-Advanced head → current)
+- Review focus: voice consistency across 9 pages, Diátaxis (how-to), internal link accuracy, `.ai/` audit completeness, bracket-balance on compile blocks, sidebar matches file tree, BDD matcher names verified against `WheelsTest.cfc`, DSL method names verified against `BrowserClient.cfc`, `TestClient` API verified
+- Known items to skip flagging: compile driver fallback mode, known gaps #17-21, forward links to Phase 2b-CLI / Phase 2c targets
+
+Same template as Phase 2b-Advanced Task 18.
+
+---
+
+## Self-review
+
+**Spec coverage check:**
+
+| Spec § 5 requirement | Task |
+|----------------------|------|
+| Testing Overview | Phase 2a Task 21 (done) |
+| Model Tests | 1 |
+| Controller Tests | 2 |
+| View & Form Tests | 3 |
+| Integration Tests | 4 |
+| Functional Tests | 5 |
+| Browser Tests (Playwright) | 6 |
+| Fixtures & Test Data | 7 |
+| Running Tests Locally | 8 |
+| CI Integration | 9 |
+
+10/10 — all Testing spec items mapped.
+
+**Placeholder scan:**
+- No "TBD" / "implement later" in body
+- Some sections flag "verify against source" at task time (`renderView()` direct-call API in Task 3, `TestClient.session.*` in Task 2, `--format=junit` in Task 9, `--parallel` flag in Task 9, transaction-rollback default in Task 1). All explicitly scoped as "verify before writing" — not placeholders in the "fill in details" sense.
+- No "similar to Task N" references.
+
+**Type / method consistency:**
+- `component extends="wheels.WheelsTest"` consistent across Tasks 1-5, 7, 8 (model/controller/view/integration/functional/fixtures/running)
+- `component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest"` in Task 6
+- `this.browser` DSL object referenced consistently
+- `this.browserTestSkipped` guard pattern across all browser examples
+- BDD matcher names (`toBe`, `toEqual`, `toBeTrue`, `toBeFalse`, `toBeTruthy`, `toInclude`, `toHaveLength`, `toBeArray`) used consistently across Tasks 1-5
+- `TestClient` method names (`get`, `post`, `put`, `delete`, `reset`) consistent across Tasks 2-5
+
+**Known friction carried forward from prior phases:**
+- Content tasks use structural outlines + API-verification steps; subagents compose prose during execution
+- Length ranges are guidance; STYLE.md anti-padding rule wins
+
+---
+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-20-guides-rewrite-phase-2b-testing.md`.
+
+**Per Phase 2a/2b-Advanced pragmatic split:**
+- **Content tasks (1-9)** — subagent-driven. One content-writer subagent per page, 9 dispatches.
+- **Integration (10-12)** — inline.
+- **Final review (13)** — single `pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer` subagent.
+
+Two execution options:
+
+1. **Subagent-Driven (recommended)** — 9 content-writer subagents, same rhythm as Phase 2a Basics and Phase 2b-Advanced.
+2. **Inline Execution** — I write each page myself.
+
+**Proceed with subagent-driven execution?**

+# Wheels 4.0 Guides — Full Rewrite Design
+
+**Status:** Approved for execution
+**Author:** Peter Amiri (via Claude)
+**Date:** 2026-04-18
+**Target version:** v4.0.0 (initially published as `v4-0-0-snapshot`)
+
+## Summary
+
+The current Wheels guides are a direct descendant of the GitBook-era 3.x docs, themselves structurally unchanged for ~8 years. They mix tutorials, how-tos, reference, and conceptual material without distinction, hide 4.0-era features behind 3.x-era framing, and assume the reader already knows MVC. This spec describes a complete replacement authored from scratch, targeting readers who are new to Wheels and often new to CFML.
+
+The new guides are:
+
+- **Structured as hybrid Rails-style narrative + Diátaxis** — one long opening tutorial as the entry path, Diátaxis-clean categorization (Tutorials / How-tos / Concepts / Reference) for everything else.
+- **Authored in Starlight-native MDX** — eliminates the GitBook-to-Starlight translation step that exists today for v2.5/v3.0.
+- **4.0-native throughout** — Turbo (via `wheels-hotwire`), Basecoat UI (via `wheels-basecoat`), built-in auth (`vendor/wheels/auth/`), query builder, scopes, enums, seeds.cfm, route model binding, DI container, middleware pipeline. No 3.x-era patterns shown as the happy path.
+- **Validated against real code** — every code block is either compile-checked, CLI-executed, or tutorial-end-to-end-driven via a doctest harness that drives a real LuCLI server.
+
+Built in two phases with one review gate after the tutorial.
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+### Current state
+
+- `docs/src/` — GitBook-flavored markdown + `SUMMARY.md`. This is what authors edit.
+- `web/scripts/generate-guides.mjs` — transforms GitBook format → Starlight content at `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/<version>/`. Also copies `.gitbook/assets/` images and rewrites references.
+- `web/sites/guides/` — Astro + Starlight site, deployed to Cloudflare Pages at guides.wheels.dev.
+- `.github/workflows/web-deploy.yml` — builds all four sites (landing, blog, guides, api) and ships to Cloudflare on every push to `develop`.
+- Multi-version support is live: v2.5.0, v3.0.0, v4.0.0-snapshot coexist; each version has its own sidebar JSON under `web/sites/guides/src/sidebars/`.
+- `docs/mkdocs.yml` and `docs/public/` are **dead artifacts** from an abandoned MkDocs migration. To be removed at cutover.
+
+### Audience
+
+- **Primary:** developers new to Wheels, frequently new to CFML. May be coming from Rails, Laravel, Django, Express, or similar.
+- **Secondary:** existing Wheels users upgrading from 3.x who need to learn 4.0-specific features (Turbo, packages, built-in auth, etc.).
+- **Not a target:** framework contributors (served by `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `.ai/` docs). API method-by-method reference (served by api.wheels.dev, autogenerated from javadocs).
+
+### Branding
+
+- "Wheels," not "CFWheels" (per the 3.0 rebrand).
+- End-user CLI surface is `wheels`. LuCLI is an implementation detail; the term appears only in contributor/internal docs.
+
+---
+
+## Information architecture
+
+Top-level sidebar groups on guides.wheels.dev for v4.0:
+
+1. **Start Here** — the narrative entry path
+   - Welcome to Wheels
+   - Why Wheels? (comparison to Rails/Laravel/Django; what CFML is; who this is for)
+   - Installing Wheels (macOS / Windows / Linux, all via `wheels` CLI)
+   - Your First 15 Minutes (zero-to-running-page, no concepts explained)
+   - **Tutorial: Build a Blog** (the 7-part narrative — the crown jewel)
+2. **Core Concepts** — Diátaxis: Explanation
+   - The Request Lifecycle
+   - MVC in Wheels
+   - Conventions over Configuration
+   - ORM Philosophy
+   - The Dependency Injection Container
+   - Middleware Pipeline
+   - How Routing Works
+   - Environments and Configuration
+3. **The Basics** — Diátaxis: How-to + Reference, per framework area
+   - Routing / Controllers & Actions / Views, Layouts, Partials / Forms & Form Helpers / Validation & Error Display / Models & the ORM / Associations / Migrations / Seeding / Query Builder & Scopes / Database & Multiple Data Sources
+4. **Digging Deeper** — task-oriented advanced features

+5. **Testing**
+   - Testing Overview / Model Tests / Controller Tests / View & Form Tests / Integration / Functional Tests / Browser Tests (Playwright) / Fixtures & Test Data / Running Tests Locally / CI Integration
+6. **Deployment & Operations**
+   - Deployment Overview / Kamal (TBD) / Docker / Production Configuration / Environment Management / Logging & Monitoring / Security Hardening / Upgrading Wheels
+7. **CLI Reference** — restructured, not flattened
+   - Using the `wheels` CLI (overview)
+   - **Top 10 Commands You Actually Use** (new page)
+   - Generators / Database / Server / Testing / Background Jobs / Environment & Config / Docker / Full Command Index (A–Z)
+8. **Contributing & Project**
+   - Contributing to Wheels / Contributing to the Docs / Project Governance / Release Process
+9. **Upgrading**
+   - Upgrading to 4.0 (the big one)
+   - Older upgrade guides
+10. **Glossary** — every term linked from anywhere in the guides
+11. **External: API Reference** — link out to api.wheels.dev
+
+### Deletions vs current guides
+
+- "Screencasts" (stale links; treat separately or move to marketing site)
+- "Working with Wheels" (grab-bag; contents redistributed)
+- "Project Documentation" (merged into Contributing)
+- GitBook-specific pages like manual installation steps that are unnecessary with the `wheels` CLI
+
+### Additions vs current guides
+
+- A dedicated "Why Wheels?" page with head-to-head comparison to Rails/Laravel/Django
+- "Your First 15 Minutes" (fast, no-concepts zero-to-page)
+- "Top 10 Commands" landing page for the CLI reference
+- A real Glossary
+- "MVC in Wheels" and "ORM Philosophy" concept pages to build the mental model
+- "How Routing Works" as an explanation page distinct from the "Routing" how-to page
+
+---
+
+## The Tutorial — Build a Blog
+
+The single highest-stakes page in the docs. ~3h 30m total reader time, broken across 7 parts. Each part has a concrete deliverable, a validation hook, a "where we left off" resume banner, and a troubleshooting section with the three most common failure modes.
+
+### Part 1 — Hello, Wheels (≈20 min)
+- Install `wheels` via homebrew (macOS) / chocolatey (Windows) / install script (Linux).
+- `wheels new blog` scaffolds a 4.0 app with `wheels-hotwire` + `wheels-basecoat` activated.
+- Start server; Turbo Drive navigation is visible from the first page transition.
+- Add custom route + controller action rendering "Hello, World."
+- `wheels reload` demonstrated.
+- **Checkpoint:** `curl localhost:3000/hello` → 200 with "Hello, World" in the body.
+
+### Part 2 — Your First Model (≈20 min)
+- `wheels generate model Post title:string body:text status:enum publishedAt:datetime`.
+- Migration anatomy; `wheels dbmigrate latest`.
+- `seeds.cfm` with `seedOnce()` (not raw SQL).
+- `wheels generate controller Posts index show` — write `index()` by hand (no scaffold yet) so the reader builds the mental model.
+- Use `model("Post").published().recent().findAll()` via auto-generated enum scopes + query builder.
+- **Checkpoint:** `GET /posts` shows seeded posts; `GET /posts/1` shows post 1.
+
+### Part 3 — CRUD with Scaffolds + Turbo Drive (≈25 min)
+- Delete hand-built controller + views; run `wheels generate scaffold Post title:string body:text status:enum`.
+- Scaffold emits Basecoat-styled forms + Turbo-Drive views.
+- Full CRUD cycle feels like an SPA; page transitions have zero flash.
+- Tour every generated file; route model binding (`params.post`) explained.
+- **Checkpoint:** full CRUD works end-to-end; reader can articulate what scaffold generated.
+
+### Part 4 — Validations, Forms, Turbo Frames (≈30 min)
+- Add `validatesPresenceOf("title,body")`, `validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120)`.
+- Wrap the form in `<turbo-frame>` so errors come back inline without a page reload. **This is the "whoa" moment.**
+- Auto-generated enum scopes (`Post.draft()`, `Post.published()`) filter the index.
+- Add "Publish" / "Save as Draft" buttons.
+- **Checkpoint:** invalid submissions show errors inline via Turbo Frames; drafts hidden from public index.
+
+### Part 5 — Comments + Associations + Turbo Streams (≈35 min)
+- `wheels generate model Comment postId:integer author:string body:text`.
+- `hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete")` + `belongsTo(name="post")`.
+- Nested routes via `callback` syntax.
+- Comment form at the bottom of a post page; submission appends via **Turbo Streams** — no page reload.
+- `include="comments"` to avoid N+1.
+- **Checkpoint:** new comment appears inline without reload; deleting a post cascades.
+
+### Part 6 — Authentication (≈45 min, 6a + 6b)
+**6a: Roll Your Own** (≈25 min) — teaches the mental model.
+- `wheels generate model User email:string passwordHash:string`.
+- BCrypt via `beforeSave` callback.
+- Hand-rolled signup + login actions, session cookies via `session` scope.
+- Private `authenticate()` filter checking `session.userId`.
+- Ownership checks.
+
+**6b: The Built-in Way** (≈20 min) — reveals the shortcut.
+- Register `SessionStrategy` in `config/services.cfm` via the DI container.
+- Replace hand-rolled pieces with `service("authenticator").authenticate(request)`.
+- Auth middleware + `beforeAction` filter.
+- Same behavior, ~60% less code.
+- Sidebar: "When to use `JwtStrategy` or `TokenStrategy`" → Digging Deeper: Auth.
+
+**Checkpoint:** anonymous users see posts but cannot write; users can only edit their own content; 6a and 6b produce identical behavior.
+
+### Part 7 — Testing, Deploying, What's Next (≈35 min)
+- WheelsTest BDD: one model spec, one controller spec.
+- **One Browser test with Playwright** (full signup → post → comment flow).
+- `bash tools/test-local.sh` green.
+- Deployment **overview** (Docker path + VM path), link to full Deployment section. Not a full walkthrough here.
+- "What to read next" card grid → Core Concepts / Digging Deeper / Testing.
+- **Checkpoint:** test suite green; deployment walkthrough started.
+
+### Cross-cutting tutorial policies
+
+- **Database:** SQLite throughout. Zero setup. Matches the testing reference platform.
+- **Engine:** Lucee 7 via LuCLI under `wheels`. Adobe CF differences surface only in `<Aside>` callouts when relevant.
+- **UI:** `wheels-basecoat` activated from Part 1. Readers get a modern-feeling app without writing CSS.
+- **Turbo:** Turbo Drive active from Part 1; Turbo Frames introduced Part 4; Turbo Streams introduced Part 5.
+- **Every code block** is either `{test:*}`-tagged (harness validates) or explicitly marked "illustrative, don't type this." No middle ground.
+- **Every part** starts with a "Where we left off" banner (file tree + DB schema) and ends with a "Checkpoint" assertion + "Troubleshooting" section with three known failure modes.
+
+### Deliberately out of scope for the tutorial
+
+Background jobs, caching, file uploads, email, middleware internals, DI container design, i18n, multi-tenancy, SSE, packages authoring. Each gets its own Digging Deeper guide. The tutorial stays on the golden path.
+
+---
+
+## Authoring format & pipeline
+
+### Format
+
+- **Starlight-native MDX.** Authored directly at `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/`.
+- Frontmatter per file: `title`, `description`, `sidebar.order`, `type: tutorial | howto | concept | reference`.
+- Starlight components used freely: `<Aside>`, `<Tabs>`, `<Steps>`, `<Card>`, `<CardGrid>`, `<LinkCard>`, `<FileTree>`.
+- The legacy `generate-guides.mjs` pipeline **continues to run for v2.5 and v3.0** (frozen GitBook content) but **does not run for v4**. v4 authored content is consumed by Starlight directly.
+

+
+### Cutover
+
+At the end of Phase 2, one final PR to `develop`:
+- Adds all new content under `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/`
+- Deletes `docs/src/` (legacy GitBook content)
+- Deletes `docs/mkdocs.yml` and `docs/public/` (abandoned MkDocs migration)
+- Updates `web/scripts/generate-guides.mjs` to no longer target `docs/src/` for v4 (v2.5/v3.0 continue)
+- Adds `.github/workflows/docs-verify.yml`
+- Adds 301 redirects from GitBook URLs to new Starlight URLs
+- Updates `web/sites/guides/astro.config.mjs` `editLink` to target `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/` for the v4 slot
+
+The new guides publish as `v4-0-0-snapshot` on guides.wheels.dev. Promotion to `v4-0-0` (current) happens at the 4.0 release. v3.0 becomes the frozen "previous current."
+
+---
+
+## Validation harness
+
+### Metadata in MDX code blocks
+
+Three flavors, all on fenced code block meta strings:
+
+- **`{test:compile}`** — harness writes the block to a temp `.cfc`/`.cfm`, compiles against Lucee 7 via LuCLI, asserts no syntax errors.
+- **`{test:cli cmd="wheels dbmigrate latest"}`** — harness runs the command in a fixture app and asserts expected stdout/exit code (optional `asserts-stdout`, `asserts-exit`).
+- **`{test:tutorial step=N file="path/to/file.cfc" asserts="curl /posts → 200"}`** — harness cumulatively builds the tutorial's fixture app step-by-step, writing tagged blocks into the right files, running migrations, booting a server, asserting HTTP responses.
+
+### Example tagged MDX
+
+````mdx
+Now let's add the first migration. Run:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels generate migration CreatePosts" step=2}
+wheels generate migration CreatePosts
+```
+
+Open the generated file under `app/migrator/migrations/` and replace its body with:
+
+```cfm {test:tutorial step=2 file="app/migrator/migrations/001_CreatePosts.cfc"}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Create posts table" {
+  function up() {
+    t = createTable("posts");
+    t.string("title"); t.text("body");
+    t.timestamps();
+    t.create();
+  }
+  function down() { dropTable("posts"); }
+}
+```
+
+Then run the migration:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels dbmigrate latest" step=2 asserts-stdout="Migrating up 001_CreatePosts"}
+wheels dbmigrate latest
+```
+````
+
+### Runtime budget
+
+- Per-snippet compile (`{test:compile}`): ~200ms × ~300 snippets ≈ 60s
+- Per-CLI command (`{test:cli}`): ~2s × ~150 commands ≈ 5 min (parallelized across isolated fixtures)
+- Full tutorial end-to-end: ~45s for all 7 parts sequentially
+- **CI total target: ~6–7 min.** Incremental (changed files only): <60s.
+
+### What the harness does NOT do
+
+- Browser tests of the tutorial (too slow for every PR). Those run nightly via the existing browser testing infrastructure.
+- Typo / prose quality (Vale for style, a link checker for dead links — standard tooling, runs in parallel).
+
+### Failure behavior
+
+- One failing example fails the build, but the harness reports **all** failures in one run (not fail-fast).
+- Every failure includes: source file + line, the exact code that failed, the command to reproduce locally, suggested fix for known patterns (e.g., mixed-argument-style errors).
+- Local workflow: `pnpm verify:docs path/to/file.mdx` to validate one file.
+
+### Authoring DX
+
+- VS Code snippet for `{test:*}` metadata.
+- A markdownlint plugin validates metadata shape at edit time (catches `{test:tutorial step=2}` typos without running the harness).
+
+### Maintenance limit
+
+Harness code stays under ~1000 LOC total. If it grows past that, review and simplify. A rotting harness is worse than no harness.
+
+---
+
+## Writing style guide
+
+Enforceable rules, lived at `web/sites/guides/STYLE.md`.
+
+### Voice & tone
+- Second person ("you"), active voice. Never "we" except tutorial welcomes.
+- No marketing copy ("powerful," "robust," "effortless"). Describe what the feature does.
+- Short sentences. Split two-idea sentences.
+- Assume the reader is smart and busy.
+
+### Audience banner
+Every non-intro page declares assumptions in a "You should already know" banner when relevant.
+- Tutorial: zero Wheels, zero CFML, some programming.
+- Core Concepts: finished tutorial or equivalent.
+- How-tos: finished tutorial, may require specific concept section.
+- Reference: familiarity with the feature; no teaching.
+
+### Code examples
+- Complete and runnable wherever possible. Show context even if it's 10 extra lines.
+- Real names (`Post`, `user.email`, `publishedAt`), not `foo`/`bar`/`someField`.
+- Every code block declares its file path: `title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"`.
+- No placeholder comments like `// your code here`. Show the code or remove the block.
+
+### Page structure
+- Every page opens with a 1-sentence summary + 3-line "You'll learn" list.
+- Tutorials end with "Checkpoint" + "Troubleshooting."
+- How-tos end with a "Related guides" `<CardGrid>`.
+- Concepts end with a "See also" link block.
+- Reference pages have no narrative at all — tables, lists, parameters.
+
+### Vocabulary
+- "Wheels," never "CFWheels."
+- "the `wheels` CLI," never "LuCLI" in user-facing docs.
+- "migration," not "db migration." "Model," not "ORM model."
+- Function names in code voice (`findAll()`, `hasMany()`). Concept in prose voice ("finders," "associations").
+
+### Diátaxis purity
+Every page frontmatter carries `type: tutorial | howto | concept | reference`. A Vale rule rejects mixed types (e.g., `reference` with narrative prose).
+
+### Linking discipline
+- Internal links go through a central registry (`src/links.ts`) so renames don't break links silently.
+- External links checked by the link checker in CI.
+- Every reference to a CLI command auto-links to its reference page.
+
+---
+
+## Execution plan
+
+### Phase 0 — Foundations (~1 week)
+
+Deliverables before any user-facing doc is written:
+
+1. **Spec committed** to `docs/superpowers/specs/`.
+2. **Style guide** at `web/sites/guides/STYLE.md`.
+3. **Directory scaffold** at `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/` with one placeholder MDX per sidebar entry (title + type tag only). Sidebar JSON wired so the shape appears in the deployed preview before content lands.
+4. **Validation harness v1** — `scripts/verify-docs.mjs` handles `{test:compile}` and `{test:cli}`. `{test:tutorial}` lands in Phase 1 when the tutorial needs it.
+5. **One sample page per Diátaxis type** to nail tone:
+   - Tutorial: "Hello, Wheels" (Tutorial Part 1, real content)
+   - How-to: "How to send an email"
+   - Concept: "The Request Lifecycle"
+   - Reference: "wheels dbmigrate latest"
+6. **CI integration** — `.github/workflows/docs-verify.yml` runs the harness on PRs touching `web/sites/guides/`.
+7. **Branch strategy** — work lands on `peter/guides-rewrite`. Merged to `develop` in one final PR at end of Phase 2.
+
+### Phase 1 — The Tutorial (~2-3 weeks)
+
+Deliverables:
+- All 7 parts of the blog tutorial, validated end-to-end via `{test:tutorial}` metadata.
+- Fixture app at `web/sites/guides/scripts/fixtures/blog-tutorial/` driven step-by-step by the harness.
+- Supporting pages: "Installing Wheels" (macOS/Windows/Linux), "Your First 15 Minutes," "Welcome to Wheels," "Why Wheels?" (with Rails/Laravel/Django comparison).
+- Cloudflare Pages preview URL for review.
+
+### ⇆ Review Gate
+
+Peter reads the tutorial end-to-end — ideally running it himself, not just skimming. Feedback on tone, pacing, depth, missing concepts, UI. Revisions until signed off. Phase 2 does not start until then.
+
+### Phase 2 — Everything Else (~6-8 weeks)
+
+Order (reflects dependency order):
+
+1. **Core Concepts** — 8 pages. Build the mental model referenced from everywhere else.
+2. **The Basics** — 11 pages. Routing/controllers/views/forms/validation/models/associations/migrations/seeding/query-builder/database.
+3. **Digging Deeper** — 14 pages. Auth patterns, jobs, caching, mail, uploads, SSE, i18n, multi-tenancy, packages, route binding, CORS, rate limiting, DI usage, authorization.
+4. **Testing** — 9 pages.
+5. **Deployment & Operations** — 7 pages (Kamal decision lands here).
+6. **CLI Reference** — ~110 pages migrated + enhanced. Adds "Top 10" landing, use-case grouping, cross-links to how-tos.
+7. **Contributing, Upgrading, Glossary** — ~10 pages.
+
+Every page must pass the harness before the next starts. No broken drafts in the tree.
+
+Final cross-linking pass: every `<LinkCard>`, every "See also" block, every glossary term auto-linked.
+
+### Final deliverable
+
+One PR to `develop`:
+- Adds all new content under `web/sites/guides/src/content/docs/v4-0-0-snapshot/`.
+- Deletes `docs/src/` and `docs/mkdocs.yml` / `docs/public/`.
+- Updates `web/scripts/generate-guides.mjs` to skip v4 path (v2.5/v3.0 continue).
+- Adds `.github/workflows/docs-verify.yml`.
+- Adds 301 redirects from old GitBook URLs.
+
+### Wall-clock estimate
+
+Phase 0 ≈ 1 week. Phase 1 ≈ 2–3 weeks. Gate review: variable. Phase 2 ≈ 6–8 weeks. **End-to-end: 3–4 months** with realistic review windows.
+
+---
+
+## Open questions
+
+Resolved during execution, with proposed defaults so work can proceed:
+
+1. **Kamal adoption.** Decide by end of Phase 1. Default otherwise: Docker + VM deploy paths ship, with "Kamal is being evaluated" placeholder.
+2. **Auth appendix.** Part 6a (hand-rolled auth) stays in the tutorial as approved. Default: keep.
+3. **`.ai/` reference docs.** Leave alone during the rewrite. Evaluate at end of Phase 2 whether to merge, keep parallel, or delete.
+4. **Older version docs (v2.5 / v3.0).** Stay frozen in GitBook format via `generate-guides.mjs`. No backport of new structure.
+5. **Translations / i18n.** English only for v1.
+6. **Screencasts.** Remove the page. New set is a separate project if desired.
+7. **Search.** Starlight's Pagefind by default. Algolia DocSearch optional end-of-Phase-2 decision.
+8. **Contributor docs.** A "How to write a Wheels doc" page under Contributing lands in Phase 2. Teaches MDX metadata + harness + style guide.
+
+---
+
+## Risks
+
+1. **4.0-native depends on Turbo + Basecoat being solid.** Tutorial dogfooding will surface rough edges. Mitigation: file bugs against `wheels-hotwire` / `wheels-basecoat` as hit; fix at framework level, not in docs.
+2. **Validation harness complexity.** A rotting harness is worse than no harness. Mitigation: LOC cap, single entry point, well-documented metadata schema.
+3. **CLI reference churn.** Commands rename mid-build ⇒ chasing moving target. Mitigation: pin to the 4.0-snapshot branch; file "docs outdated" issues for post-snapshot changes.
+4. **Review gate timing.** Slow review ⇒ block, or speculatively start Phase 2 with rework risk. Mitigation: Phase 1 ends with a preview URL + short self-review report to make Peter's review fast.
+5. **Legacy URL breakage.** Blog posts, Stack Overflow answers, forum threads link to GitBook URLs. Mitigation: scrape sitemap pre-cutover; 301 redirects for every known URL.
+6. **Scope creep from framework changes.** Major new features mid-Phase-2 force either outdated docs or extended scope. Mitigation: content freeze on the rewrite branch. Pull latest code for API accuracy only; no new feature chapters added mid-flight.
+
+---
+
+## What the rewrite will NOT do without explicit approval
+
+- Delete `.ai/` content.
+- Modify `generate-guides.mjs` in ways that break v2.5/v3.0 builds.
+- Promote v4 docs to "current" on guides.wheels.dev (stays `v4-0-0-snapshot` until flipped).
+- Change CLI command surface — if docs reveal a CLI inconsistency, file an issue; do not fix.
+- Modify framework code — if docs reveal a framework bug, same.
+- Merge to `develop` — final PR waits on Peter's approval.

+- Every non-illustrative block is tagged for the verify-docs harness (`{test:compile}`, `{test:cli}`, or `{test:tutorial}`). See `scripts/verify-docs/VALIDATION.md`.
+- Illustrative blocks that cannot compile: ` ```cfm title="illustrative — do not type" `.
+
+## Page structure
+
+- Every page opens with a 1-sentence summary + 3-line "You'll learn" list.
+- Tutorials end with "Checkpoint" and "Troubleshooting" (three common failure modes).
+- How-tos end with "Related guides" `<CardGrid>`.
+- Concepts end with "See also" link block.
+- Reference pages: tables, lists, parameters — no narrative.
+
+## Vocabulary
+
+- "Wheels," never "CFWheels."
+- "the `wheels` CLI," never "LuCLI" in user-facing docs. LuCLI appears only in contributor/internal docs.
+- "migration," not "db migration." "Model," not "ORM model."
+- Function names in code voice: `findAll()`, `hasMany()`. Concept in prose voice: "finders," "associations."
+
+## Diátaxis purity
+
+Every page frontmatter carries `type: tutorial | howto | concept | reference`. A future Vale rule rejects mixed types.
+
+- **Tutorial** — learning-oriented. Hand-held. You build something.
+- **How-to** — task-oriented. "How to X." You already know what you want.
+- **Concept** — understanding-oriented. "Why Wheels does X." No commands, no steps.
+- **Reference** — information-oriented. Dry. Tables and lists.
+
+## Linking discipline
+
+- Internal links relative to site root: `/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/request-lifecycle/`.
+- External links checked by the link checker in CI.
+- Every CLI command links to its reference page the first time it appears in a page.
+
+## Starlight components to prefer
+
+- `<Aside type="note|tip|caution|danger">` for callouts — not blockquotes.
+- `<Tabs>` for OS-specific or engine-specific variations.
+- `<Steps>` for numbered procedural lists.
+- `<Card>` / `<CardGrid>` / `<LinkCard>` for "what to read next" blocks.
+- `<FileTree>` for project structure diagrams.
+
+## What we don't write
+
+- No emojis.
+- No "Note:" or "Important:" prefixed paragraphs — use `<Aside>`.
+- No headings deeper than `###`. If a page needs `####`, split it.
+- No tables of contents at the top — Starlight renders one on the right.

+# verify-docs — Metadata Reference
+
+Every non-illustrative code block in the v4 guides carries a `{test:*}` meta
+string the harness uses to validate it. Three flavors. The harness ignores
+any fenced code block that does not carry a `{test:*}` meta flag.
+
+**Driver status:** Phase 1 ships drivers for `{test:cli}`, `{test:tutorial}`,
+and `{test:compile}`.
+
+## `{test:compile}`
+
+The body is handed to `wheels cfml <body>`. Pass if exit code 0. Fail if
+non-zero. Requires [LuCLI PR #1](https://github.com/lucee/LuCLI) which
+makes `wheels cfml` exit non-zero on execution failures.
+
+On older LuCLI versions (where `wheels cfml` always exits 0 regardless
+of CFML errors), the driver falls back to a pattern-match validator —
+currently only a bracket-balance check. The mode is detected once per
+harness run via a probe (`wheels cfml 'throw()'` — if it exits 0,
+fallback; if non-zero, native).
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+  function config() {
+    validatesPresenceOf("title");
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Fallback-mode caveat:** The bracket check catches obvious typos but
+does NOT validate CFML syntax or semantics. A block like
+`hasMany("comments", dependent="delete")` (mixed positional + named
+args — a real Wheels anti-pattern) passes the fallback but would fail
+a real parse. This is acceptable: fallback buys you typo detection
+while we wait for PR #1 to land.
+
+## `{test:cli cmd="..."}`
+
+The `cmd` is tokenized on whitespace and executed in a fresh fixture app.
+Optional attrs:
+
+- `asserts-stdout="text"` — stdout must contain `text`.
+- `asserts-stderr="text"` — stderr must contain `text`.
+- `asserts-output="text"` — stdout *or* stderr must contain `text` (forgiving default when the author doesn't care which stream).
+- `asserts-exit=N` — process must exit with code `N` (default 0).
+- `step=N` — cumulative ordering within a file.
+
+The `wheels` CLI writes user-facing reports to stderr for some commands
+(e.g. `wheels info`) and stdout for others (e.g. `wheels --version`).
+Reach for `asserts-output` when you don't want your test coupled to that
+stream distinction.
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels dbmigrate latest" asserts-stdout="Migrating up"}
+wheels dbmigrate latest
+```
+
+**Shell features not supported.** No pipes, redirects, `&&`, or quoted args
+with spaces. The harness spawns the program directly. Authors who need
+shell features must restructure the example or mark it illustrative.
+
+## `{test:tutorial step=N file="path" [mode="write|append"] [asserts-http="..."] [asserts-db-rows="..."]}`
+
+The block body is written to `file` inside the tutorial's shared fixture app
+at step N. The fixture is one long-lived `blog-tutorial` app reset at the
+start of each harness run; all tutorial blocks (from all tutorial files) and
+all `{test:cli step=N}` blocks see the same fixture state in cumulative
+step order.
+
+Required attrs:
+
+- `step=N` — integer ordinal. Lower N runs first within a file; tie-break by
+  file line.
+- `file="relative/path"` — path inside the fixture (relative to the app
+  root). Paths that escape the fixture root are rejected.
+
+Optional attrs:
+
+- `mode="write"` (default) — write the body, clobbering any existing file.
+- `mode="append"` — append the body to the existing file.
+- `asserts-http="METHOD PATH → STATUS"` — after the file is written, boot the
+  app server (once per run) and hit this URL, asserting the status code.
+- `asserts-http="METHOD PATH → STATUS \"body substring\""` — also asserts the
+  response body contains the substring.
+- `asserts-db-rows="table1=N,table2=M"` — after the file is written, assert
+  `SELECT COUNT(*)` equals N for each table.
+
+**Note:** `asserts-db-rows` is implemented but not exercised by any sample
+page yet. First use may reveal adjustments needed in the `wheels cfml`
+invocation. File a bug if it misbehaves.
+
+Ordering across files is by (frontmatter sidebar.order, step, file line).
+
+```mdx
+```cfm {test:tutorial step=2 file="app/controllers/Posts.cfc" asserts-http="GET /posts → 200"}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() { posts = model("Post").findAll(); }
+}
+```
+```
+
+## Shared attrs
+
+- `step=N` — cumulative state ordering. Lower N runs first.
+- `title="..."` — consumed by Starlight for code-block titles; ignored by the harness.
+
+## Illustrative blocks
+
+Blocks that cannot or should not compile:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type"
+someAPI.callThat.doesntExistYet();
+```

+title: Associations
+description: Modeling relationships — hasMany, belongsTo, hasOne, nested creation, eager loading, and cascade deletes.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 7
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Associations are how models reach each other. You declare the relationship once in `config()` and Wheels generates the dynamic methods — `post.comments()`, `comment.post()`, `post.createComment(...)` — that let you navigate it. This page walks the three kinds, the options that shape their behavior, and the patterns you'll reach for daily: eager loading, nested creation, and cascading deletes.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The three association kinds — `hasMany`, `belongsTo`, `hasOne` — and which foreign key each expects
+- The dynamic methods Wheels generates for each side of a relationship
+- How to cascade deletes with `dependent`
+- How to override model name and foreign key when convention doesn't match your schema
+- How to avoid N+1 queries with `include`
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how to define a model. See [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/).
+</Aside>
+
+## The three kinds
+
+Every relationship in Wheels is one of three declarations. You always declare both sides — the parent model names the child side with `hasMany` or `hasOne`, and the child model names the parent side with `belongsTo`. The foreign key always lives on the child table.
+
+| Association | Means | Foreign key lives on |
+|-------------|-------|----------------------|
+| `hasMany(name="comments")` | "I own many" | Child table (`comments.postId`) |
+| `belongsTo(name="post")` | "I reference one" | This table (`this.postId`) |
+| `hasOne(name="profile")` | "I own exactly one" | Child table (`profiles.userId`) |
+
+The pair `Post hasMany(name="comments")` + `Comment belongsTo(name="post")` is the most common shape in any Wheels app. You'll see it in the tutorial, and you'll write it dozens of times in your own code.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  Associations follow the same argument rule as every other `config()` call: either all positional or all named. `hasMany("comments", dependent="delete")` is **invalid** — it mixes styles. Write `hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete")` instead. See [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/) for why.
+</Aside>
+
+## hasMany + belongsTo (the most common pair)
+
+Declare the parent side on `Post.cfc`. The `name` argument names the association — it becomes the method name on every Post instance. `dependent="delete"` tells Wheels to clean up comments when a post is deleted (more on cascade options below).
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
+        validatesPresenceOf(properties="title,body");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Declare the child side on `Comment.cfc`. The `name` argument refers to the parent — `post` — and by convention Wheels looks for a `postId` column on the `comments` table to store the foreign key.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        belongsTo(name="post");
+        validatesPresenceOf(properties="author,body");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Once the pair is declared, every Post instance carries a cluster of generated methods:
+
+- `post.comments()` — returns a **query** of comments for that post (not an array — loop it with `<cfloop query="...">`)
+- `post.comments(where="approved = 1", order="createdAt DESC")` — same query with extra filters
+- `post.createComment(author="Alice", body="...")` — instantiate, set `postId`, save, return the new Comment
+- `post.newComment(...)` — same but without saving (returns an unsaved instance for further edits)
+- `post.addComment(existingComment)` — link an existing Comment by setting its `postId`
+- `post.removeComment(existingComment)` — unlink or delete, per the `dependent` setting
+- `post.deleteComment(existingComment)` — delete the comment from the database
+- `post.hasComments()` — boolean, true when at least one row exists
+- `post.commentCount()` — integer count, cheaper than `post.comments().recordCount` for a quick check
+- `post.findOneComment(where="...")` — returns a single Comment or `false`
+
+And every Comment instance carries the other side:
+
+- `comment.post()` — the parent Post instance, or `false` if the foreign key doesn't resolve
+- `comment.hasPost()` — boolean
+
+The association methods read like English because they use the association name, not the model name. `post.createComment(...)` reads better than `model("Comment").create(postId=post.id, ...)` — and it means you never have to remember the foreign key column name.
+
+## `dependent` options
+
+`dependent` tells Wheels what to do with child records when the parent is deleted. Only `hasMany` and `hasOne` accept it — `belongsTo` can't cascade upward.
+
+- **`dependent="delete"`** — instantiate each child and call `delete()` on it. This runs the child's `beforeDelete` / `afterDelete` callbacks, so any cleanup logic on the child model (clearing related caches, sending notifications) still fires. Slower when there are many children.
+- **`dependent="deleteAll"`** — issue a single `DELETE FROM children WHERE parentId = ?` statement. Fast, but skips the child's callbacks.
+- **`dependent="remove"`** — instantiate each child and set its foreign key to `NULL`. Child's `beforeUpdate` / `afterUpdate` fire. Use when children can survive without a parent.
+- **`dependent="removeAll"`** — single `UPDATE children SET parentId = NULL WHERE parentId = ?`. Fast, skips callbacks.
+- **Default (not set)** — no cascade. Deleting the parent leaves orphaned child rows whose foreign key points at a row that no longer exists. You almost always want a `dependent` value, even on small associations.
+
+Choose `delete` (or `deleteAll` if the children don't have callbacks) for strict ownership — comments, line items, anything that can't outlive its parent. Choose `remove` or `removeAll` for looser links — employees who survive their department, posts that survive their author, and so on.
+
+## hasOne
+
+`hasOne` is `hasMany`'s one-to-one sibling. The relationship and the foreign key placement are identical — the child still carries the foreign key. The only difference is that the parent's association method returns a single instance (or `false`) instead of a query.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        hasOne(name="profile", dependent="delete");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        belongsTo(name="user");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The generated methods mirror `hasMany`, scaled to a single record:
+
+- `user.profile()` — returns the Profile instance or `false`
+- `user.hasProfile()` — boolean
+- `user.createProfile(bio="...", location="...")` — create and link
+- `user.newProfile(...)` — unsaved instance
+- `user.setProfile(existingProfile)` — link an existing Profile
+- `user.removeProfile()` — unlink (nullify foreign key)
+- `user.deleteProfile()` — delete the Profile row
+
+Use `hasOne` when the enforcement is "exactly one." A `User` has one `Profile`. An `Order` has one `ShippingAddress`. If the enforcement is fuzzier — "a user has one active subscription at a time, but historically several" — model the collection with `hasMany` and scope the query.
+
+## Foreign-key overrides
+
+Wheels infers the foreign key from the association name. `hasMany(name="comments")` on Post expects `comments.postId`. `belongsTo(name="author")` on Post expects `posts.authorId` (not `posts.userId`, even if Author is a `User` under the hood).
+
+When the column name doesn't match, override it with `foreignKey`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        hasMany(name="comments", foreignKey="blogPostId");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+When the association name doesn't singularize to the model name, combine `foreignKey` with `modelName`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        hasMany(name="authoredBooks", modelName="Book", foreignKey="authorId");
+        hasMany(name="editedBooks", modelName="Book", foreignKey="editorId");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Now the same User model exposes two associations against the same `books` table, distinguished by foreign key. `user.authoredBooks()` and `user.editedBooks()` return different queries.
+
+`belongsTo` also accepts `modelName` — useful when the parent side is aliased:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        belongsTo(name="author", modelName="User", foreignKey="authorId");
+        belongsTo(name="editor", modelName="User", foreignKey="editorId");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Nested creation (create-through)
+
+When you already have a parent instance, use its association method to create children. The foreign key is set for you and the relationship is explicit at the call site.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.postKey);
+        comment = post.createComment(params.comment);
+        if (!comment.hasErrors()) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="show");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Compare with the non-association form:
+
+```cfm
+comment = model("Comment").create(
+    postId=params.postKey,
+    author=params.comment.author,
+    body=params.comment.body
+);
+```
+
+The first form is shorter, less error-prone (you can't forget the foreign key), and reads top-to-bottom like the relationship it's modeling. Prefer it whenever you have the parent in hand.
+
+## Eager loading with `include`
+
+The classic N+1 problem: you load a list of posts, then touch each post's comments inside the view. Each touch fires a new query, and the page crawls.
+
+```cfm
+posts = model("Post").findAll();
+// in the view:
+<cfloop query="posts">
+    ##posts.commentCount()##  <!-- one query per post -->
+</cfloop>
+```
+
+`include` fixes this by joining the associated table into the finder's query. One SQL statement loads posts and their comments together.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").findAll(
+            include="comments",
+            order="publishedAt DESC"
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Include multiple associations by comma-separating: `include="comments,author"`. Include nested associations with parentheses: `include="comments(author)"` — load comments for each post and the author for each comment, all in one query.
+
+`include` works with any finder that accepts a `where` clause — `findAll`, `findOne`, `count` — and it combines cleanly with scopes and the query builder. Use it whenever a view iterates an association on each row.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  `include` builds a SQL `JOIN`. The returned query has all the columns of all the tables, and Wheels prefixes child columns with the association name on access. If you need to filter on the joined table, qualify the column: `where="comments.approved = 1"`.
+</Aside>
+
+## Many-to-many (through a join model)
+
+Wheels handles many-to-many through a real join model plus the `shortcut` argument on `hasMany`. If a User has many Roles via a UserRole join table, model the relationship as three classes:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        hasMany(name="userRoles");
+        hasMany(name="userRoles", shortcut="roles");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The first `hasMany` gives you direct access to the join rows — `user.userRoles()`. The second, with `shortcut="roles"`, generates `user.roles()` that returns the Roles on the far side of the join. Behind the scenes Wheels walks both association chains to build the query.
+
+The join model needs both `belongsTo` declarations:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        belongsTo(name="user");
+        belongsTo(name="role");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+And the Role side mirrors the User side:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        hasMany(name="userRoles");
+        hasMany(name="userRoles", shortcut="users");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The `through` argument is available for rare cases where the association names don't follow singular/plural convention — see the source comments in `vendor/wheels/model/associations.cfc` — but for the common case, `shortcut` alone is enough.
+
+## Polymorphic associations
+
+A polymorphic association lets the same child model belong to more than one parent type. The classic case is `Comment` belonging to either a `Post` or a `Photo` — the `comments` table carries both a `commentableId` foreign key and a `commentableType` string column that names the parent's model.
+
+Declare the child side with `polymorphic=true`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        belongsTo(name="commentable", polymorphic=true);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Declare each parent side with `as` naming the polymorphic interface:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        hasMany(name="comments", as="commentable", dependent="delete");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        hasMany(name="comments", as="commentable", dependent="delete");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Wheels resolves the parent at runtime by reading `commentableType` on each row. `comment.commentable()` returns a Post or a Photo depending on the row's type column.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  One limitation: `findAll(include="commentable")` on the polymorphic side throws `Wheels.PolymorphicIncludeNotSupported`. A single JOIN can't span multiple target tables. Load the comments first, then load each parent type separately if you need eager loading.
+</Aside>

+title: Controllers and Actions
+description: Writing a controller, the seven REST actions, filters, params, rendering, redirect, and flash.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+A controller is the CFC that runs after the router picks a route and before the view renders. Each public function is an action. This page shows you how to write one, how the seven REST actions fit together, how filters run around them, and how to render, redirect, and flash a message on the way out.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to write a controller with a single action and matching view
+- How `resources()` maps to seven REST actions and what each one typically does
+- How `config()` registers filters and why filter methods must be `private`
+- Where URL segments and form data land inside `params`
+- How to render a view, a partial, text, or JSON — and how to redirect with a flash message
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how routes map to actions. See [How Routing Works](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/how-routing-works/). This page picks up on the controller side of that arrow.
+</Aside>
+
+## Write your first controller
+
+A controller lives in `app/controllers/` and extends the framework's `Controller` base class. The filename is plural PascalCase (`Posts.cfc`); the class name matches the file. Each public function is an action the router can dispatch to.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {}
+}
+```
+
+After the action runs, Wheels automatically renders `app/views/posts/index.cfm` wrapped in `app/views/layout.cfm`. You don't call `render` explicitly unless you want something other than the default.
+
+## The seven REST actions
+
+`.resources(name="posts")` in `config/routes.cfm` wires up seven routes. Each maps to an action you write on the controller. This is the convention the rest of the framework assumes — stick to it unless you have a reason not to.
+
+| Action    | HTTP method and path        | What it does                                 | Typical body                                        |
+|-----------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
+| `index`   | `GET /posts`                | List records                                 | `posts = model("Post").findAll()`                   |
+| `new`     | `GET /posts/new`            | Render an empty form                         | `post = model("Post").new()`                        |
+| `create`  | `POST /posts`               | Persist a new record                         | `model("Post").new(params.post).save()` + redirect  |
+| `show`    | `GET /posts/:key`           | Render one record                            | `post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key)`        |
+| `edit`    | `GET /posts/:key/edit`      | Render an edit form                          | Same load as `show`                                 |
+| `update`  | `PATCH /posts/:key`         | Persist changes to an existing record        | `post.update(params.post)` + redirect               |
+| `delete`  | `DELETE /posts/:key`        | Destroy a record                             | `post.delete()` + redirect                          |
+
+A full scaffold-style controller wires all seven together. With `binding=true` on the resource route, the member actions see `params.post` already loaded as a model instance.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+    }
+    function show() {
+        post = params.post;
+    }
+    function new() {
+        post = model("Post").new();
+    }
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+        if (post.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+    function edit() {
+        post = params.post;
+    }
+    function update() {
+        post = params.post;
+        if (post.update(params.post)) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="edit");
+        }
+    }
+    function delete() {
+        post = params.post;
+        post.delete();
+        redirectTo(route="posts");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## `config()` and filters
+
+`config()` runs once per controller instantiation — it's where you register filters, verify rules, and any other per-controller setup. Don't put action logic here; it runs before any action is known.
+
+`filters(through="methodName")` binds a private method to run before every action in this controller. Use `only="..."` to restrict it to specific actions or `except="..."` to skip them. Pass `type="after"` to run after the action instead of before.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+    }
+    function index() {}
+    function new() {}
+    private function authenticate() {
+        if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
+            redirectTo(route="login");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Filter methods **must** be declared `private`. A public function on a controller is a routable action — if you forget the keyword on `authenticate`, the router will happily accept `GET /posts/authenticate` and call it directly, which is not what you want. The `private` keyword keeps it off the action surface.
+
+## Params
+
+The `params` struct is built by the framework on every request. It merges three sources into one flat struct:
+
+- **URL segments** — `:key` from `/posts/:key` lands in `params.key`.
+- **Query string** — `?page=2` lands in `params.page`.
+- **Form fields** — `<input name="post[title]">` lands in `params.post.title`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function show() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+    }
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+        post.save();
+    }
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").findAll(page=params.page, perPage=25);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+How `params.post` gets populated from `<input name="post[firstName]">` is the form helper's job — see [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/).
+
+## Rendering
+
+By default, when your action returns without calling a render function, Wheels renders `app/views/<controllername>/<actionname>.cfm` wrapped in the layout. Call one of the render functions below only when you want something different.
+
+### `renderView` — override the view or layout
+
+Render a different action's view (common when `create` fails and you want the `new` form back with errors), or drop the layout entirely.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+        if (post.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### `renderPartial` — render just a partial
+
+The right choice when a Turbo Frame submits a form and you want to swap only the frame's contents. The partial lives at `app/views/<controller>/_<name>.cfm`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+        if (post.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### `renderText` — render a plain string
+
+For trivial responses: webhooks, health checks, debug endpoints.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Health.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function ping() {
+        renderText(text="ok");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### `renderWith` — render JSON (or any format)
+
+`renderWith(data=...)` serializes the data struct or query into the format the request asked for. A request with `Accept: application/json` (or a URL ending in `.json`) gets JSON back; add `.xml` and the same action serializes XML. This is the Wheels equivalent of `renderJSON` in other frameworks.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function show() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+        renderWith(data=post);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## `redirectTo`
+
+`redirectTo` issues a `cflocation` redirect to a named route, a controller/action pair, or an absolute URL. The most common shape passes a route name and the key:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").create(params.post);
+        if (post.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id, success="Post created");
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Any extra argument that isn't a known `redirectTo` parameter (like `success` above) is set into the flash for the next request. `redirectTo` doesn't `return` on its own — if more statements follow the redirect, add your own `return`. The common case where the redirect is the last statement just works.
+
+## Flash messages
+
+The flash is a struct that survives exactly one redirect. Write to it during one request, read from it on the next, and it clears automatically.
+
+- `flashInsert(success="Post created")` writes a key for the next request
+- `flashKeyExists("success")` checks if a key is present in the layout/view
+- `flash("success")` returns that key's value (or the whole struct if no key given)
+
+In practice most apps write via the `redirectTo(..., success="...")` shortcut shown above and read from a layout partial that loops over whatever keys it finds.
+
+## Strong params
+
+Never blindly hand `params.post` to a model constructor when the form submits fields the user shouldn't be allowed to set. A user-posted `isAdmin=true` or `userId=42` would get mass-assigned through `model("Post").new(params.post)`. The safe pattern is to name the attributes explicitly:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").new(title=params.post.title, body=params.post.body);
+        post.userId = session.userId;
+        if (post.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Wheels 4.0 also ships an allowlist mechanism on the model itself for the cases where the explicit form gets tedious. The [Security Hardening](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/security-hardening/) page has the deep dive; until then, the explicit-pick pattern above is what every controller in the tutorial uses.

+title: Database and Multiple Datasources
+description: Configuring the default datasource, per-model overrides, transactions, and raw queries.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 11
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Every Wheels model reads and writes through a named datasource. Most apps have exactly one, configured in `config/settings.cfm` and overridden per environment. Some apps need more — a legacy reporting database, a separate read replica, a tenant-per-database pattern. This page covers the knobs Wheels gives you for all of those cases, plus the transaction and raw-query escape hatches for the times the ORM isn't enough.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to configure the default datasource for the whole app
+- How to override it per environment and per model
+- How to wrap a multi-statement unit of work in a transaction
+- How to fall through to raw SQL when the ORM can't express what you need
+- What Wheels 4.0 supports across database engines
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how to define models. See [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/).
+</Aside>
+
+## The default datasource
+
+Wheels reads `dataSourceName` from `config/settings.cfm` at application start and stores it on `application.wheels.dataSourceName`. Every model uses this datasource unless it declares its own.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+set(dataSourceName = "myapp_dev");
+```
+
+The name you set here must match a datasource registered with your CFML engine. In Lucee that's configured in `lucee.json` (or `/lucee/admin/` for server-scope datasources); in Adobe it's in the admin UI. Check your engine's documentation for the registration shape — Wheels only cares that the name resolves to a working connection.
+
+`config/settings.cfm` is the shared file loaded in every environment. The next section shows how to override it per environment.
+
+## Per-environment datasource
+
+Development, test, and production usually point at different databases. Keep the shared default in `config/settings.cfm`, then shadow it from `config/<environment>/settings.cfm`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+set(dataSourceName = "myapp_production");
+set(dataSourceUserName = application.wo.env("DB_USER"));
+set(dataSourcePassword = application.wo.env("DB_PASSWORD"));
+```
+
+Environment-specific settings are loaded after the shared ones, so whatever you set here wins. Read secrets from the environment with `application.wo.env("VAR_NAME")` — never commit credentials into the repo. See [Environments and Configuration](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/environments-and-configuration/) for the full configuration loading order.
+
+## Per-model override
+
+Any model can point at a different datasource by calling `dataSource()` in `config()`. This is the standard pattern for reaching into a legacy database that lives alongside your primary schema.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        dataSource("legacy_reporting");
+        tableName("vw_legacy_users");
+        setPrimaryKey("user_id");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The typical legacy case is all three overrides at once: a non-default datasource, a non-convention table name (often a view), and a non-`id` primary key. The rest of the model still behaves like any other — associations, validations, finders, and the query builder all use the datasource you've declared.
+
+`dataSource()` also accepts `username` and `password` arguments for databases that need per-model credentials:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        dataSource(datasource="legacy_reporting", username="report_reader", password=application.wo.env("REPORT_DB_PASSWORD"));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Read replicas
+
+Wheels 4.0 does not ship a built-in read-replica feature — there's no `readReplica="..."` argument on finders or a framework-level read/write split. If you want to send reads to a replica and writes to the primary, you build the pattern yourself with two datasources and per-model overrides.
+
+The simplest approach: register both databases, keep the primary as your default, and declare a thin read-only model that points at the replica.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+// config/settings.cfm
+set(dataSourceName = "myapp_primary");
+```
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+// app/models/UserReadOnly.cfc
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        dataSource("myapp_replica");
+        tableName("users");
+        setPrimaryKey("id");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Queries against `model("UserReadOnly")` hit the replica; `model("User")` continues to hit the primary. You are responsible for making sure nothing mutates data through the read-only model, and for understanding replica lag — reading back a record you just wrote may return the pre-write version for a short window.
+
+A framework-level read/write split is under consideration for a future release. Until then, the pattern above is the supported path.
+
+## Transactions
+
+Wheels gives you three ways to wrap work in a transaction. Which one you pick depends on how many statements you're coordinating.
+
+**Single model method.** Every persistence method — `save`, `create`, `update`, `delete` — accepts a `transaction` argument. Pass `"rollback"` to run the statement inside a transaction and always roll it back (useful for dry-runs and tests) or `"commit"` (the default when `transactionMode` is set) to commit normally.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function preview() {
+        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
+        user.update(balance=user.balance - 100, transaction="rollback");
+        // changes are discarded; user.balance in memory reflects the attempted value
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Multiple statements, one model.** Call `invokeWithTransaction(method="...")` to run a single model method inside an explicit transaction block.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function settle() {
+        account = model("Account").findByKey(params.key);
+        account.invokeWithTransaction(method="settleOutstandingCharges");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Multiple statements, multiple models.** Use a native CFML `transaction{}` block. Everything inside runs against the same connection and commits or rolls back as a unit. An uncaught exception inside rolls back automatically; an explicit rollback uses `transaction action="rollback"`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function transfer() {
+        transaction {
+            from = model("Account").findByKey(params.fromKey);
+            to = model("Account").findByKey(params.toKey);
+            from.update(balance=from.balance - params.amount);
+            to.update(balance=to.balance + params.amount);
+        }
+        redirectTo(route="accounts");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Transactions commit when the block exits cleanly and roll back on any thrown exception. All statements in a transaction must run against the same datasource — cross-database transactions aren't a thing the engine can give you.
+
+## Raw queries
+
+For the rare query the ORM can't express cleanly — a reporting aggregate, a window function, a vendor-specific feature — drop through to native CFML `queryExecute()`. Point it at your model's datasource with the `datasource` option and use positional parameters for any user input.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    public query function topContributors(numeric limit=10) {
+        return queryExecute(
+            "SELECT userId, COUNT(*) AS postCount FROM posts GROUP BY userId ORDER BY postCount DESC LIMIT ?",
+            [arguments.limit],
+            {datasource: "myapp_production"}
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The `?` placeholder plus the `parameters` array gets you parameter binding through `cfqueryparam`. Never concatenate user input into the SQL string — that's the canonical SQL-injection gap. A hardening walkthrough lands in Phase 2b; until then the rule is: if a value comes from `params`, `session`, or any request-scoped source, it goes through a placeholder, not through string interpolation.
+
+For queries that return model instances rather than a raw query result, stay with `findAll(where="...")` or the [query builder](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/query-builder-and-scopes/). Raw `queryExecute()` is for the cases where you genuinely want a query object, not an array of objects.
+
+## Connection pooling
+
+Each CFML engine keeps a connection pool per datasource. Lucee manages this through the datasource configuration in `lucee.json` (or the web admin); default pool sizing handles most workloads without tuning. If you run into connection-exhaustion errors under load, the usual culprits are long-running transactions, unclosed cursors in custom code, or pool-size settings that haven't been raised from the default. Consult your engine's documentation for the exact knobs — the tunables live below the Wheels layer.
+
+## Supported databases
+
+Wheels 4.0 has database adapters for:
+
+- **PostgreSQL** — recommended for new apps.
+- **MySQL / MariaDB** — fully supported, broad production use.
+- **Microsoft SQL Server** — fully supported, common in enterprise shops.
+- **SQLite** — great for development and testing, production-fine for small apps.
+- **H2** — embedded, great for tests that need a fresh database per run.
+
+The Wheels 4.0 core test suite runs on Lucee 7 + SQLite for day-to-day development; the full CI matrix covers additional engines and databases. SQLite is the reference — if something works there but not on your target database, that's a bug worth filing.

+title: Forms and Form Helpers
+description: Every form helper Wheels ships — object-bound and tag-style — plus the data-auto-id attribute for stable test selectors.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 4
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Wheels ships a form helper for every native HTML input type. Most of them come in two flavours — an **object-bound** version that reads from and writes to a model, and a **tag-style** version that doesn't. This page walks every helper, shows the canonical form pattern, and documents the new `data-auto-id` attribute that makes browser tests stable across naming conventions.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How `startFormTag` / `endFormTag` wire a form to a named route and include CSRF automatically
+- The object-bound pattern — one call per field, values and errors wired to the model
+- Every object-bound helper Wheels ships, including the HTML5 inputs
+- When to reach for the tag-style variants instead
+- What `data-auto-id` is, why it was added, and how to opt out
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how controller data reaches the view. See [Views, Layouts, Partials](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/views-layouts-partials/).
+</Aside>
+
+## startFormTag and endFormTag
+
+Every Wheels form opens with `startFormTag` and closes with `endFormTag`. The helper generates the `<form>` element, resolves the URL from a named route, and automatically includes a CSRF token as a hidden field.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfoutput>
+    ##startFormTag(route="posts", method="post")##
+        <input type="text" name="post[title]">
+        <button type="submit">Create</button>
+    ##endFormTag()##
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+Key behaviours:
+
+- Generates `<form action="..." method="post">` with CSRF token auto-included.
+- `route="..."` uses named routes — see [Routing](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/routing/).
+- `method="put"` / `method="delete"` — Wheels emits a hidden `_method` field that gets translated server-side. Browsers only send GET and POST natively, so Wheels (like Rails, Laravel, and friends) uses the hidden field convention to expose the full set of REST verbs.
+
+## Object-bound helpers — the core pattern
+
+Most Wheels form helpers take an `objectName` and a `property`. The helper looks up the model instance in the view's scope, reads the property off it to fill in the `value`, and generates the right `name`, `id`, and `data-auto-id` so the controller can round-trip the value back into a model on submit.
+
+A field call like `textField(objectName="post", property="title")` generates:
+
+- `name="post[title]"` — the controller sees this as `params.post.title`
+- `id="post-title"` — stable DOM id for labels and CSS
+- `data-auto-id="post_title"` — underscore variant for test selectors (see below)
+
+The canonical form pattern wraps inputs in labels, calls `errorMessagesFor` at the top, and ends with a submit button:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfoutput>
+    ##startFormTag(route="posts")##
+        ##errorMessagesFor("post")##
+        <label>
+            Title
+            ##textField(objectName="post", property="title")##
+        </label>
+        <label>
+            Body
+            ##textArea(objectName="post", property="body", rows=6)##
+        </label>
+        <label>
+            Status
+            ##select(objectName="post", property="status", options="draft,published,archived")##
+        </label>
+        <button type="submit">Save</button>
+    ##endFormTag()##
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+The controller side is then just `model("Post").new(params.post)` — the `post[...]` field names deserialize straight into a nested struct. See [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/) for the params handling.
+
+## Every object-bound helper
+
+| Helper            | Renders                            | Common options                        |
+|-------------------|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
+| `textField`       | `<input type="text">`              | `type` (overrideable), `placeholder`  |
+| `passwordField`   | `<input type="password">`          | `placeholder`                         |
+| `emailField`      | `<input type="email">`             | `placeholder`, `required`             |
+| `urlField`        | `<input type="url">`               | `placeholder`                         |
+| `numberField`     | `<input type="number">`            | `min`, `max`, `step`                  |
+| `telField`        | `<input type="tel">`               | `placeholder`, `pattern`              |
+| `searchField`     | `<input type="search">`            | `placeholder`                         |
+| `colorField`      | `<input type="color">`             | — (value is a hex colour)             |
+| `rangeField`      | `<input type="range">`             | `min`, `max`, `step`                  |
+| `dateField`       | `<input type="date">`              | `min`, `max` (both as `YYYY-MM-DD`)   |
+| `hiddenField`     | `<input type="hidden">`            | —                                     |
+| `fileField`       | `<input type="file">`              | `accept`, `multiple`                  |
+| `textArea`        | `<textarea>`                       | `rows`, `cols`                        |
+| `select`          | `<select>`                         | `options`, `includeBlank`, `multiple` |
+| `checkBox`        | `<input type="checkbox">` + hidden companion for the unchecked state | `checkedValue`, `uncheckedValue` |
+| `radioButton`     | `<input type="radio">`             | `tagValue` (the value this button submits) |
+
+Every helper also accepts the standard Wheels form options — `label`, `labelPlacement`, `prepend`, `append`, `prependToLabel`, `appendToLabel`, `errorElement`, `errorClass`, `encode` — plus any raw HTML attribute (`class`, `placeholder`, `required`, `autofocus`, and so on) which is passed through to the rendered tag.
+
+See `vendor/wheels/view/formsobject.cfc` for the full argument surface.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  **`checkBox` emits two inputs.** A single checkbox only submits its `name` when it's checked, which means unchecking a box sends no value at all and the controller never learns the user cleared it. `checkBox` works around this by also rendering a hidden `<input type="hidden" name="..." value="0">` just before the real checkbox. On submit, the last value wins: checked → `1`, unchecked → `0`. The underlying model always sees one of the two.
+</Aside>
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  **Wheels has no HTML5 `datetime-local` helper.** For date/time combined input, use the classic `dateTimeSelect(objectName=..., property=...)` which renders a group of `<select>` dropdowns for year, month, day, hour, minute. Dedicated `dateTimeField` / `timeField` helpers are not in 4.0 — drop down to `textField(..., type="datetime-local")` if you want the native picker.
+</Aside>
+
+## Tag-style helpers
+
+When you're not bound to a model — a login form, a search bar, a one-off contact form — the object-bound helpers are the wrong tool. Every object-bound helper has a **`Tag` suffix variant** that takes `name=` and `value=` directly:
+
+- `textFieldTag`, `passwordFieldTag`, `emailFieldTag`, `urlFieldTag`, `numberFieldTag`, `telFieldTag`, `searchFieldTag`, `colorFieldTag`, `rangeFieldTag`, `dateFieldTag`
+- `hiddenFieldTag`, `fileFieldTag`, `textAreaTag`, `selectTag`, `checkBoxTag`, `radioButtonTag`
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfoutput>
+    ##startFormTag(route="search", method="get")##
+        ##textFieldTag(name="q", value=params.q ?: "", placeholder="Search...")##
+        <button type="submit">Go</button>
+    ##endFormTag()##
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+Tag-style helpers never emit `data-auto-id` — their `id` is already a plain name with no dash/underscore ambiguity, so the companion attribute would just be noise.
+
+## data-auto-id — stable test selectors (new in 4.0)
+
+Wheels object-bound helpers emit `id="post-title"` with a **dash** between the object name and the property. Every other major web framework — Rails, Django, Laravel — uses an **underscore**: `id="post_title"`. Developers coming from those frameworks write browser tests targeting `#post_title`, then spend hours chasing a silent selector miss.
+
+In 4.0, every object-bound helper also emits `data-auto-id="post_title"`. Tests target either the dashed id (stable, never changing) or the underscore `data-auto-id` attribute:
+
+```html title="illustrative — rendered HTML"
+<input type="text" name="post[title]" id="post-title" data-auto-id="post_title">
+```
+
+Both selectors work. `#post-title` remains the canonical DOM id — nothing about it has changed. `[data-auto-id="post_title"]` is the new escape hatch for tests written against the framework-agnostic underscore convention.
+
+Opt out globally in `config/settings.cfm` with `set(formHelperDataAutoId=false)`. It's on by default.
+
+## Error messages
+
+`errorMessagesFor(objectName)` renders a summary block at the top of the form listing every validation error on the object. Pair it with per-field inline errors if you want — `errorMessageOn(objectName=..., property=...)` renders a single error for a single property, or use your own CSS to style fields based on the presence of validation errors.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfoutput>
+    ##startFormTag(route="posts")##
+        ##errorMessagesFor("post")##
+        ##textField(objectName="post", property="title")##
+        ##textArea(objectName="post", property="body")##
+        <button>Save</button>
+    ##endFormTag()##
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+The summary block only renders when the object has errors — on a new-form render before any submit, nothing appears. See [Validation and Error Display](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/validation-and-errors/) for the validations that populate these errors.
+
+## Labels
+
+Wheels does not ship a standalone `label()` helper. Labels are a first-class argument on every object-bound form helper via `label=` and `labelPlacement=`:
+
+- `textField(objectName="post", property="title", label="Post title")` — wraps the input in a `<label for="post-title">Post title</label>` with `labelPlacement` controlling whether the text comes `before` (default), `after`, or `around` the input.
+- `label=false` suppresses the auto-label — use this when you want to write the `<label>` tag by hand (for icons, extra classes, or explicit `for` attributes).
+
+The third and most common pattern is in the canonical example above: skip the `label` argument entirely and wrap the helper call inside a raw `<label>` element in your markup. The browser associates the label with the input via containment, no `for="..."` attribute needed.
+
+## Form submission with Turbo Frames
+
+Wrap a form (or the block that contains it) in a `<turbo-frame id="...">`. When the user submits, Turbo intercepts the response and replaces just that frame's contents — no full-page reload, no scroll reset. The controller action is unchanged; only the response template needs to render a matching frame.
+
+See tutorial [Part 4: Validations + Turbo Frames](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/04-validations-frames/) for a worked example, including the server-side render.

+title: Migrations
+description: Writing and running schema migrations — column types, indexes, foreign keys, and rollbacks.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 8
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Migrations are versioned CFCs that carry your schema forward and back. Each one subclasses `wheels.migrator.Migration`, exposes an `up()` method that applies a change and a `down()` that undoes it, and lives in `app/migrator/migrations/` with a timestamped filename so the runner can order them. The same migrations run in every environment — development, test, CI, production — which is how a fresh clone of your repo reaches the current schema by running one command.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The four `wheels migrate` commands and when to reach for each
+- How to generate a migration file and what the timestamped filename means
+- The column builder methods on `createTable` — `string`, `integer`, `datetime`, `references`, `timestamps`
+- How to add and remove indexes and foreign keys without dropping a table
+- How to add, rename, and remove columns on an existing table
+- When a migration can't be reversed and how to signal that honestly
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  A migration describes schema — the tables and columns your models map to. For the model side — finders, validations, callbacks — see [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Running migrations
+
+Four subcommands cover the day-to-day workflow. Each one connects to your app's datasource and reads the migration history out of `schema_migrations`, so the app has to be running (or at least reachable) for them to work — see [Installing Wheels](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/installing/) for the server setup.
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+- `wheels migrate latest` — apply every pending migration in order. The most common command; you'll run it after pulling someone else's changes.
+- `wheels migrate up` — apply exactly one pending migration. Useful when you want to watch the effect of a single file.
+- `wheels migrate down` — roll back the most recently applied migration. Runs the `down()` method of the newest row in `schema_migrations`.
+- `wheels migrate info` — show which migrations have run and which are still pending. Read-only; safe any time.
+
+The runner wraps each migration in a transaction so a failing `up()` or `down()` rolls back cleanly — the schema either moves fully or not at all.
+
+## Generating a migration
+
+The generator scaffolds a CFC with `up()` and `down()` stubs and drops it in `app/migrator/migrations/` with a timestamp prefix.
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels generate migration CreatePosts
+```
+
+That produces a file named like `20260420143000_create_posts_table.cfc`. The prefix is `YYYYMMDDHHMMSS` — generated from the clock at creation time — and the runner applies migrations in filename order, so the timestamp is what puts your change after everyone else's. Never rename or reorder migration files after they've been committed: the history in `schema_migrations` keys on the filename, and a renamed file looks like a brand-new migration to the runner.
+
+## Writing a migration — full example
+
+Open the generated CFC and fill in the body. A migration for a new table typically builds the table definition with `createTable()`, chains column methods on the returned builder, and flushes with `.create()`. The `down()` just drops the table.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Create posts table" {
+    function up() {
+        t = createTable(name="posts");
+        t.string(columnNames="title", allowNull=false, limit=120);
+        t.text(columnNames="body");
+        t.integer(columnNames="status", default=0);
+        t.datetime(columnNames="publishedAt");
+        t.timestamps();
+        t.create();
+    }
+
+    function down() {
+        dropTable(name="posts");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Three things to note:
+
+1. `createTable("posts")` returns a table-builder object. Every column method — `t.string`, `t.integer`, `t.datetime` — mutates that builder. Nothing hits the database until `t.create()`.
+2. `t.timestamps()` creates `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, **and** a soft-delete column (`deletedAt`). Don't also add those columns by hand — you'll get duplicate-column errors. See [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/) for how Wheels populates them automatically on save.
+3. The column-builder methods use `columnNames` (plural) and `allowNull` — not `columnName` and `null`. A single call can create several same-typed columns at once: `t.string(columnNames="firstName,lastName", limit=60)`.
+
+## Column types
+
+These are the column-builder methods defined on `TableDefinition`. Every one takes `columnNames` (comma-separated string), and most accept `default` and `allowNull`. A few take type-specific extras.
+
+| Method | DB type | Common options |
+|--------|---------|----------------|
+| `t.string(columnNames=, limit=, allowNull=, default=)` | VARCHAR | `limit` defaults to 255 |
+| `t.char(columnNames=, limit=)` | CHAR | fixed-width string |
+| `t.text(columnNames=, size=)` | TEXT / MEDIUMTEXT / LONGTEXT | `size` is MySQL-only |
+| `t.integer(columnNames=, limit=, allowNull=, default=)` | INT | `limit=8` maps to BIGINT on MySQL |
+| `t.bigInteger(columnNames=)` | BIGINT | |
+| `t.float(columnNames=)` | FLOAT | |
+| `t.decimal(columnNames=, precision=, scale=)` | DECIMAL | use for money |
+| `t.boolean(columnNames=, default=)` | BOOLEAN / BIT | |
+| `t.date(columnNames=)` | DATE | |
+| `t.datetime(columnNames=)` | DATETIME / TIMESTAMP | |
+| `t.time(columnNames=)` | TIME | |
+| `t.timestamp(columnNames=)` | DATETIME | single-column version |
+| `t.binary(columnNames=)` | BLOB / VARBINARY | |
+| `t.uniqueidentifier(columnNames=)` | UNIQUEIDENTIFIER / UUID | defaults to `newid()` |
+| `t.references(referenceNames=, foreignKey=, onDelete=)` | INT + FK | creates `<name>Id` and a FK constraint |
+| `t.timestamps()` | creates `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt` | no arguments |
+
+`t.references(referenceNames="user")` is the shortcut for the common case of a foreign key: it adds an integer column named `userId`, plus a FK constraint pointing at `users.id`. Pass `polymorphic=true` to also create a `userType` string column for [polymorphic associations](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/associations/#polymorphic-associations). Pass `foreignKey=false` to skip the constraint and leave only the column — useful when the referenced table lives in another datasource.
+
+## Indexes
+
+Indexes don't belong in `createTable()` — they're a separate concern, and you'll often add them to existing tables as query patterns emerge. Use `addIndex()` and `removeIndex()`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Index posts publishedAt" {
+    function up() {
+        addIndex(table="posts", columnNames="publishedAt");
+        addIndex(table="posts", columnNames="userId,status", indexName="idx_posts_user_status");
+    }
+
+    function down() {
+        removeIndex(table="posts", indexName="posts_publishedAt");
+        removeIndex(table="posts", indexName="idx_posts_user_status");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If you don't pass `indexName`, Wheels generates one by joining the table name and first column — in this case `posts_publishedAt`. For multi-column indexes or when you want a predictable name, pass `indexName` explicitly. `removeIndex` always needs the name.
+
+Pass `unique=true` on `addIndex` to create a unique constraint, which is what [`validatesUniquenessOf`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/validation-and-errors/) should sit on top of to race-proof the check at the database level.
+
+## Foreign keys
+
+`t.references()` inside `createTable()` adds a foreign key as part of the `CREATE TABLE` statement. When you need to add a FK to an existing table — or the foreign key doesn't follow the `<parent>Id` convention — use `addForeignKey()`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Add fk: comments.postId -> posts.id" {
+    function up() {
+        addForeignKey(
+            table="comments",
+            referenceTable="posts",
+            column="postId",
+            referenceColumn="id"
+        );
+    }
+
+    function down() {
+        dropForeignKey(table="comments", keyName="FK_comments_posts");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`addForeignKey()` takes four required arguments and generates a constraint name like `FK_<table>_<referenceTable>`. The `down()` drops it by that generated name — `dropForeignKey(table=, keyName=)`. There's also `addReference()` / `dropReference()` for the convention case where the column is `<singular>Id` and the table is `<plural>`: `addReference(table="comments", referenceName="post")` does the same thing as the long form above.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  The public `addForeignKey()` method doesn't take `onDelete` or `onUpdate` — those options are only available on `t.references()` inside `createTable()`. If you need cascade behavior on a FK added later, drop and recreate the constraint inside the transaction, or drop the whole table and recreate it. Application-level cascade via `hasMany(name=..., dependent="delete")` is the simpler path; see [Associations](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/associations/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Adding, removing, renaming columns
+
+Three methods cover the common single-column changes. Each one is a method on the Migration base class — no table builder, no `.create()` flush.
+
+Add a column:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Add archived flag" {
+    function up() {
+        addColumn(table="posts", columnType="boolean", columnName="archived", default=false);
+    }
+
+    function down() {
+        removeColumn(table="posts", columnName="archived");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Rename a column:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Rename body to content" {
+    function up() {
+        renameColumn(table="posts", columnName="body", newColumnName="content");
+    }
+
+    function down() {
+        renameColumn(table="posts", columnName="content", newColumnName="body");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Remove a column:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Remove deprecated teaser" {
+    function up() {
+        removeColumn(table="posts", columnName="teaser");
+    }
+
+    function down() {
+        addColumn(table="posts", columnType="string", columnName="teaser", limit=255);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`addColumn` takes the same type-specific options as the table-builder methods: `limit`, `precision`, `scale`, `default`, `allowNull`. Pass `columnType="string"` or `"integer"` or `"datetime"` and so on — the same type names the `t.*` methods use internally.
+
+## Seeding via migrations — avoid, but if you must
+
+Real seed data — users, roles, reference lookups — belongs in `app/db/seeds.cfm` where it runs idempotently via `seedOnce()`. See [Seeding](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/seeding/) for that path. Don't use migrations for seed data in long-lived projects: a `INSERT` in a migration runs exactly once, so editing the inserted row later means writing another migration to update it, and fresh clones of the repo end up with whatever the most recent migration wrote.
+
+That said, you'll occasionally want a migration to backfill data for a schema change — for example, populating a new column from an existing one. When you do, use inline SQL with `NOW()` for timestamps. Parameter binding in `execute()` is unreliable across databases, and database-specific date functions (`CURRENT_TIMESTAMP`, `GETDATE()`, `SYSDATETIME()`) don't port. `NOW()` works across MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, H2, and SQLite.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Seed admin role" {
+    function up() {
+        execute("INSERT INTO roles (name, createdAt, updatedAt) VALUES ('admin', NOW(), NOW())");
+    }
+
+    function down() {
+        execute("DELETE FROM roles WHERE name = 'admin'");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Quote string values inline; wrap each statement in `execute()` individually. For anything structural — building a compound object, branching on current rows — consider writing a one-off script under `app/scripts/` and calling it from your deploy pipeline instead.
+
+## Reversible vs irreversible
+
+Every `up()` should have a matching `down()` so `wheels migrate down` can walk the history back. Most changes are trivially reversible: `createTable` pairs with `dropTable`, `addColumn` with `removeColumn`, `addIndex` with `removeIndex`.
+
+Some aren't. Dropping a column with data loses that data forever; a row-level transformation (`UPDATE posts SET slug = LOWER(...)`) can't be undone without the original values. In those cases, write the forward change and have `down()` throw — loudly — so an accidental rollback fails instead of silently corrupting the schema.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Slugify posts — irreversible" {
+    function up() {
+        execute("UPDATE posts SET slug = LOWER(REPLACE(title, ' ', '-'))");
+    }
+
+    function down() {
+        Throw(
+            type="IrreversibleMigration",
+            message="Cannot reverse slug transformation — original titles may differ from the generated slugs."
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The throw is the honest signal: "you can't walk past this point backward." If you need to undo the change in practice, write a new forward migration.
+
+## Filename format
+
+Generated migration files are named `<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>_<snake_case_name>.cfc` — a 14-digit UTC-ish timestamp, an underscore, then the name you passed to `wheels generate migration`. The timestamp determines the order the runner applies them. Don't hand-edit the prefix; if you need to reorder after a merge conflict, regenerate the file and move your body into it.

+title: Models and the ORM
+description: Defining a model, finders, persistence, and lifecycle callbacks — the ORM surface readers will hit every day.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 6
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Every Wheels app spends most of its time talking to models. A model is a CFC that extends `Model`, maps to a database table by convention, and carries the behavior for the rows it represents — queries, validations, callbacks, and any domain logic you choose to keep near the data. This page walks the day-to-day surface: defining a model, the finders, the persistence methods, and the lifecycle callbacks that fire around every save.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to define a model and which conventions Wheels infers from the class name
+- The finder methods — `findAll`, `findOne`, `findByKey`, `exists`, `count` — and what each returns
+- How `new`, `create`, `save`, `update`, and `delete` move records in and out of the database
+- The full list of lifecycle callbacks and how to register them in `config()`
+- Where to put custom methods so they read naturally from controllers and views
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know why models carry behavior. See [ORM Philosophy](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/orm-philosophy/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Defining a model
+
+A model is a CFC in `app/models/` that extends the framework's `Model` component. The file name is singular PascalCase — `Post.cfc`, `User.cfc`, `OrderLineItem.cfc` — and Wheels pluralizes it to find the table (`posts`, `users`, `order_line_items`). The primary key is assumed to be a column named `id`. You don't declare columns in the CFC; Wheels inspects the table at app start and exposes every column as a property on the instance.
+
+Everything the model needs to know about itself — associations, validations, callbacks, defaults — lives in `config()`. The framework calls `config()` once per model, wires up whatever you registered, and then the rest of the class is free for custom methods.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        validatesPresenceOf(properties="title,body");
+        hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
+        beforeSave("sanitizeTitle");
+    }
+
+    private function sanitizeTitle() {
+        this.title = Trim(this.title);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+That file goes at `app/models/Post.cfc`. Wheels infers the table name `posts` and the primary key `id`. The `hasMany` registers an association with a `Comments` model; the `validatesPresenceOf` runs on every save; `beforeSave` triggers the private method before the record is written. No boilerplate, no schema mirror — the CFC is the behavior, the table is the schema.
+
+## Convention overrides
+
+When the table, key, or column names don't match the defaults, override them in `config()`. Keep overrides to a minimum — every override is a rule the next reader has to learn — but reach for them freely when you're mapping onto a legacy schema.
+
+- `tableName("old_blog_entries")` — non-convention table name.
+- `setPrimaryKey("entryId")` — non-`id` primary key.
+- `dataSource("legacy_db")` — non-default datasource. See [Database and Multiple Datasources](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/database-and-multiple-datasources/) when this lands for the wider multi-database story.
+- `property(name="publishedAt", column="pub_date")` — the property on the model is `publishedAt`, the column in the table is `pub_date`. The view and controller never see the column name.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        tableName("old_blog_entries");
+        setPrimaryKey("entryId");
+        property(name="publishedAt", column="pub_date");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Composite keys are also supported — pass a comma-separated list to `setPrimaryKey("tenantId,entryId")`. Most apps never need them.
+
+## Finders
+
+The finders read from the database. Every finder below is a method on the class, called via `model("Name")`. The calls return different shapes depending on whether you're loading many, one, or just asking a question.
+
+| Finder | Returns | Use when |
+|--------|---------|----------|
+| `findAll(where="...", order="...", ...)` | Query object | Loading many records |
+| `findOne(where="...")` | Single model instance or `false` | Getting one by condition |
+| `findByKey(key)` | Single model instance or `false` | Loading by primary key |
+| `exists(where="...")` | Boolean | Checking existence without loading |
+| `count(where="...")` | Integer | Counting without loading |
+
+`findAll` returns a **query object**, not an array. Loop it with `<cfloop query="...">` or pass `returnAs="objects"` when you want an array of model instances (at the cost of per-row object construction). `findOne` and `findByKey` return a single model instance, or `false` when nothing matches — always guard with `IsObject(record)` before using it. For conditions more complex than a simple `where` clause, see [Query Builder and Scopes](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/query-builder-and-scopes/).
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").findAll(
+            order="publishedAt DESC",
+            perPage=25,
+            page=params.page ?: 1
+        );
+    }
+
+    function show() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+        if (!IsObject(post)) {
+            redirectTo(route="posts", error="Not found");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Pagination is built into `findAll`: pass `page` and `perPage` and the framework runs a count query, a primary-key query, and a hydration query behind the scenes. Pair with the view pagination helpers (`paginationNav()`) to render navigation.
+
+## Creating records
+
+Two patterns, chosen by whether you need to inspect or mutate the record before it's saved.
+
+- **`new()` then `save()`** — construct an in-memory instance, set or tweak properties, then call `save()`. The controller between the two lets you assign fields the user can't pass (`userId`, `tenantId`) or run server-side logic.
+- **`create()`** — shorthand for `new()` + `save()` in one call. Use it when every field on the record comes straight from the form and there's nothing to adjust.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+        post.userId = session.userId;
+        if (post.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Both `save()` and `create()` run validations first; if any fail, the write is skipped and the record is returned with errors attached. See [Validation and Error Display](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/validation-and-errors/) for how that flow surfaces to the view.
+
+## Updating records
+
+`update()` is a mass-assignment shortcut: pass a struct and it applies every key, runs validations, and saves. You can also pass individual named arguments (`post.update(title="...", body="...")`) when the change is narrow.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function update() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+        if (post.update(params.post)) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="edit");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If you've already mutated the instance in memory — set a property directly, run a callback, whatever — a bare `save()` writes the current state. `update()` is only syntactic sugar for "assign these fields and save."
+
+For bulk edits without loading rows into memory, `model("Post").updateAll(where="status='draft'", status="review")` runs a single SQL statement and returns the affected row count. It skips callbacks by default.
+
+## Deleting records
+
+`delete()` removes the row and returns `true` on success. It runs `beforeDelete` and `afterDelete` callbacks and honors `dependent="delete"` on any `hasMany` or `hasOne` association — child rows are removed in the same transaction.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function delete() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+        post.delete();
+        redirectTo(route="posts");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+For a key-only delete without loading the record, use `model("Post").deleteByKey(params.key)`. For bulk deletes, `deleteAll(where="...")` runs a single statement and returns the row count; like `updateAll`, it skips callbacks by default.
+
+## Lifecycle callbacks
+
+Callbacks register a `private` method to run at a specific point in the record's lifecycle. The method takes no arguments (the record is `this`), returns nothing, and can mutate any property on `this` before the write happens. Return `false` from a `before*` callback to cancel the operation.
+
+| Callback | When it fires |
+|----------|---------------|
+| `afterInitialization` | After a model instance is constructed (from `new()` or from a finder) |
+| `afterNew` | After `new()` specifically |
+| `afterFind` | After each record loaded from the database |
+| `beforeValidation` / `afterValidation` | Around every validation run |
+| `beforeValidationOnCreate` / `afterValidationOnCreate` | Validation on new records only |
+| `beforeValidationOnUpdate` / `afterValidationOnUpdate` | Validation on existing records only |
+| `beforeSave` / `afterSave` | Around every INSERT or UPDATE |
+| `beforeCreate` / `afterCreate` | Around INSERT only |
+| `beforeUpdate` / `afterUpdate` | Around UPDATE only |
+| `beforeDelete` / `afterDelete` | Around DELETE |
+
+Register callbacks in `config()` — `beforeSave("methodName")` or `beforeSave(methods="one,two")` when you want several. The methods themselves must be `private` and live on the same component.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        beforeSave("generateSlug");
+        afterCreate("notifyAdmin");
+    }
+
+    private function generateSlug() {
+        if (!Len(this.slug ?: "")) {
+            this.slug = LCase(Replace(this.title, " ", "-", "all"));
+        }
+    }
+
+    private function notifyAdmin() {
+        // enqueue a job here
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The ordering is strict: `beforeValidation` → validation runs → `afterValidation` → `beforeSave` → (`beforeCreate` or `beforeUpdate`) → SQL write → (`afterCreate` or `afterUpdate`) → `afterSave`. If any `before*` callback returns `false`, the chain stops and the write is skipped.
+
+`afterFind` is the one callback that fires without a write: it runs once per row returned by a finder, which makes it the right place for decorating loaded records with derived values.
+
+## Custom methods
+
+Any `public` function on the model is callable from a controller, a view, or another model. This is where business logic belongs — keep controllers thin and let the model answer questions about itself.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    public string function displayTitle() {
+        return Len(this.title) > 60 ? Left(this.title, 57) & "..." : this.title;
+    }
+
+    public boolean function isPublished() {
+        return this.status == "published"
+            AND IsDate(this.publishedAt)
+            AND this.publishedAt <= Now();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In a view: `##post.displayTitle()##`. In a controller: `if (post.isPublished()) { ... }`. The method has full access to `this.*` — every column on the record, every association, every other method on the class.
+
+## Reloading after save
+
+After `save()` the instance's primary key is populated and any property you set in a callback is current. Columns the database computed on your behalf — `DEFAULT` expressions, triggers, generated columns — are not refreshed automatically. When you need the authoritative post-save state, call `post.reload()` to re-query the row and overwrite the in-memory instance.
+
+This is rarely needed. Most apps don't use DB-computed columns, and when they do, the reload is usually only required in tests or in flows that show the record back to the user immediately.

+title: Query Builder and Scopes
+description: Chainable query builder, reusable scopes, enum declarations, and batch processing for large result sets.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 10
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+The `findAll(where="...")` surface works for simple queries, but Wheels ships four more tools for the queries that outgrow a raw WHERE string. The chainable query builder composes conditions safely. Scopes name reusable fragments. Enums turn named property values into auto-generated checkers and scopes. And batch processing keeps you out of memory trouble on large result sets. This page covers all four.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to chain `where`, `orderBy`, `limit` into a single fluent query
+- How to declare scopes that compose across a model
+- How to declare dynamic scopes that accept parameters
+- How to declare enums and use the checkers and scopes they generate
+- How to stream large tables with `findEach` and `findInBatches`
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how to define models and use finders. See [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Chainable query builder
+
+Most finders accept `where="..."` as a raw string: `model("Post").findAll(where="status = 'published' AND publishedAt <= NOW()")`. That's fine for a short condition, but it breaks down quickly. Strings require manual quoting, are painful to assemble conditionally, and are the natural home for SQL injection mistakes when user input enters the expression.
+
+The query builder exposes `where`, `orderBy`, `limit`, and the rest as chainable methods on the model class. Each method returns a query object, so you keep composing until you call a terminal method — `get()`, `first()`, or `count()` — that runs the SQL. Values passed to builder methods are auto-quoted through the database adapter; there's no string concatenation into SQL.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post")
+            .where("status", "published")
+            .where("publishedAt", "<=", Now())
+            .orderBy("publishedAt", "DESC")
+            .limit(25)
+            .get();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The two-argument form of `where` means equality. The three-argument form takes an operator in the middle — `>`, `<`, `>=`, `<=`, `!=`, `LIKE`, and so on. Stack multiple `.where(...)` calls and they AND together.
+
+### Builder methods
+
+| Method | SQL it produces |
+|--------|-----------------|
+| `where(column, value)` | `column = value` |
+| `where(column, operator, value)` | `column <operator> value` |
+| `orWhere(...)` | Same calling conventions as `where`, OR-combined with prior clauses |
+| `whereNull(column)` | `column IS NULL` |
+| `whereNotNull(column)` | `column IS NOT NULL` |
+| `whereBetween(column, low, high)` | `column BETWEEN low AND high` |
+| `whereIn(column, list)` | `column IN (...)` |
+| `whereNotIn(column, list)` | `column NOT IN (...)` |
+| `orderBy(column, direction)` | `ORDER BY column direction` (direction defaults to `ASC`) |
+| `limit(n)` | `LIMIT n` |
+| `offset(n)` | `OFFSET n` |
+| `get()` | Executes, returns a query of all matching rows |
+| `first()` | Executes, returns the first matching row |
+| `count()` | Executes `COUNT(*)`, returns an integer |
+
+Here's a longer example that exercises several of these:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function search() {
+        products = model("Product")
+            .whereIn("categoryId", [1, 2, 3])
+            .whereBetween("price", 10, 100)
+            .whereNotNull("publishedAt")
+            .orWhere("featured", true)
+            .orderBy("name", "ASC")
+            .limit(50)
+            .offset(100)
+            .get();
+
+        totalMatches = model("Product")
+            .whereIn("categoryId", [1, 2, 3])
+            .whereBetween("price", 10, 100)
+            .count();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  Values in builder calls are auto-parameterized through the model's database adapter. That's the point. Use the builder whenever user input flows into a query value — you get the readability of a fluent API and the safety of parameter binding in one call.
+</Aside>
+
+## Scopes — reusable query fragments
+
+Scopes are named pieces of a query that you declare once on a model and call as methods on the model class. `model("User").active()`. `model("Post").published().recent()`. They chain, compose with each other, and compose with the query builder. When the same filter shows up on two or more pages, turn it into a scope.
+
+Declare scopes in `config()` using the `scope()` function. The `name` argument is what you'll call on the model class. The `where` and `order` arguments hold the SQL fragments.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        scope(name="active", where="status = 'active'");
+        scope(name="recent", order="createdAt DESC");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+With those two declarations, every Wheels finder on `User` gains `.active()` and `.recent()` methods. Chain them and each adds to the accumulated query:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        users = model("User").active().recent().findAll();
+        totalActive = model("User").active().count();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Scopes compose with the query builder the same way — a scope call returns a chainable query object, so `.where(...)` picks up where the scope left off.
+
+### Dynamic scopes
+
+Static `where` strings can't accept parameters. When a scope needs an argument — "filter by this role", "posts after this date" — declare it with a `handler` instead. The handler is a private method on the model that returns a struct of query options. Anything you'd pass to `findAll` — `where`, `order`, `include`, `select` — is a valid key.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        scope(name="byRole", handler="scopeByRole");
+    }
+
+    private struct function scopeByRole(required string role) {
+        return { where: "role = '#arguments.role#'" };
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Call it like any other scope: `model("User").byRole("admin").findAll()`. Arguments passed to the scope call flow straight into the handler.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  Handler-returned `where` strings are still strings — if the argument came from user input, interpolate it only after you've validated or escaped it. For user-supplied values, pair the scope with a builder call: `model("User").byRole("admin").where("status", params.status).get()`.
+</Aside>
+
+## Enums — named property values
+
+Enums declare that a property takes one of a fixed set of named values. Wheels auto-generates three things when you declare one: an inclusion validation so the value is always valid, a boolean checker method per value on model instances (`post.isDraft()`, `post.isPublished()`), and a scope per value on the model class (`model("Post").draft()`, `model("Post").published()`). You write one line of config; the framework wires the rest.
+
+Values can be declared two ways. The list form maps each name to an identical stored string. The struct form lets you map names to different stored values — an integer, a different string, whatever you want in the database.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The list form above stores the literal strings `"draft"`, `"published"`, and `"archived"` in the `status` column.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        enum(property="priority", values={low: 0, medium: 1, high: 2});
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The struct form stores integers `0`, `1`, or `2` in the `priority` column, but you interact with them by name everywhere in your code.
+
+Once declared, the generated checkers and scopes are available with no extra setup:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        draftPosts = model("Post").draft().findAll();
+        publishedPosts = model("Post").published().findAll();
+    }
+
+    function show() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+        if (post.isDraft()) {
+            redirectTo(route="posts", error="Not published yet");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Declare as many enums per model as you need. Each property gets its own checkers and scopes.
+
+## Batch processing — findEach and findInBatches
+
+Loading a hundred thousand rows with `findAll()` is a memory disaster. The batch APIs load and yield in chunks so the whole result set never sits in memory at once. Reach for them whenever you're iterating a result set that could outgrow what fits comfortably in RAM — a good rule of thumb is 10,000 rows or more, but lower if each row is wide.
+
+There are two options. `findEach` calls your callback once per record, loading and discarding batches transparently. `findInBatches` calls your callback once per batch, handing you a query of up to `batchSize` rows. Use `findEach` when each record is processed independently; use `findInBatches` when you're doing something like a bulk write or a CSV export that benefits from seeing groups at a time.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    public void function resendAllReminders() {
+        findEach(batchSize=1000, callback=function(user) {
+            arguments.user.sendReminderEmail();
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`findEach` defaults to `batchSize=1000` and orders by the primary key ascending so pagination stays consistent across batches. The callback receives one model instance at a time.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    public void function exportAll() {
+        findInBatches(batchSize=500, callback=function(users) {
+            // arguments.users is a query of up to 500 rows
+            exportToCSV(arguments.users);
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`findInBatches` defaults to `batchSize=500` and yields a query per invocation by default. Pass `returnAs="objects"` or `returnAs="structs"` if you'd rather receive an array.
+
+Both methods accept the same filter arguments as `findAll` — `where`, `order`, `include`, `select`. And both compose with scopes: `model("User").active().findEach(batchSize=500, callback=function(user) { ... })` streams only the active users.
+
+## Combining features
+
+Scopes, enums, and the builder all return the same chainable query object, so they compose freely. A controller action pulling the dashboard of published posts owned by the current user reads like English:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function dashboard() {
+        posts = model("Post")
+            .published()
+            .where("userId", session.userId)
+            .orderBy("publishedAt", "DESC")
+            .limit(10)
+            .get();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`.published()` is generated by an enum on `Post`. `.where(...)` and `.orderBy(...)` and `.limit(...)` are builder methods. `.get()` is the terminal that runs the SQL. One chain, all four tools.
+
+## When to use what
+
+The four features overlap — you could write most queries with just the raw `where` string if you wanted. The guidance below is about readability and safety, not strict rules.
+
+- **Raw `where="..."` string.** Simplest case. One or two conditions, no user input being interpolated into the SQL. `model("Post").findAll(where="status = 'published'", order="publishedAt DESC")`.
+- **Query builder.** Multiple conditions, conditional assembly based on search form input, or anywhere user input flows into a value. The auto-quoting is the safety net.
+- **Scopes.** When the same query fragment appears on two or more pages, give it a name. You'll thank yourself the first time the filter changes.
+- **Enums.** When a property takes one of a fixed set of named values. The auto-generated checkers and scopes save boilerplate everywhere the property is read.
+- **Batch processing.** When the result set is too big to fit in memory comfortably. Rule of thumb: 10,000 rows or more, or fewer if each row is wide.

+description: Define routes — resources, nested resources, namespaced routes, custom patterns, and route helpers.
+type: howto

+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Define the URL surface of your app in `config/routes.cfm`. This page shows how to wire simple routes, resource routes, nested resources, namespaced sections, and pattern constraints — then how to call the matching helpers from your views and controllers.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to define a single route with `get`, `post`, `patch`, `delete`
+- How `resources()` produces seven REST routes in one line
+- How to nest resources and namespace an admin section
+- How to constrain placeholder patterns with regex
+- Which helper reads which route at call time
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how the router matches URLs from [How Routing Works](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/how-routing-works/). This page is the hands-on version — every example is a real `config/routes.cfm` fragment.
+</Aside>
+
+## Define a simple route
+
+`config/routes.cfm` is a plain CFM file loaded at boot. Wrap the mapper DSL in `<cfscript>`; call `mapper()`, chain matchers, and close with `.end()`. The minimum useful route is a single `get` with a name, a pattern, and a controller#action target.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="main##hello")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+`name="hello"` is the handle your helpers pass — `linkTo(route="hello")` builds the URL, `redirectTo(route="hello")` navigates to it. `pattern="/hello"` is the URL shape. `to="main##hello"` is the double-hash form of `controller##action` (two hashes because CFML treats a single `#` as an expression delimiter). `.wildcard()` is the catch-all that always comes last.
+
+## Resource routes
+
+`resources()` is where most routing happens. One call generates seven REST routes plus the named helpers that go with them.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .resources(name="posts", binding=true)
+    .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+This gives you `GET /posts`, `GET /posts/new`, `POST /posts`, `GET /posts/:key`, `GET /posts/:key/edit`, `PATCH /posts/:key`, and `DELETE /posts/:key` — plus the named routes `posts`, `newPost`, `post`, and `editPost`. `binding=true` turns on route model binding: the member actions (`show`, `edit`, `update`, `delete`) see a pre-loaded `params.post` instance without calling `findByKey` themselves.
+
+## Trim the resource with `only` or `except`
+
+Skip the actions you don't need. Pass `only="..."` to allow-list, or `except="..."` to deny-list.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .resources(name="comments", only="create")
+    .resources(name="posts", except="delete")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+`comments` gets one route (`POST /comments`). `posts` gets six (every REST action except `DELETE /posts/:key`). The named routes that correspond to trimmed-away actions don't exist — `linkTo(route="newComment")` would throw `Wheels.RouteNotFound` in the first example.
+
+## Nested resources
+
+To build a URL like `/posts/:postKey/comments`, nest the inner resource via the `callback` argument. Wheels passes the mapper in; call `.resources()` on that parameter, not on the outer `mapper()`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) {
+        map.resources(name="comments", only="create");
+    })
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+The nested resource produces `POST /posts/:postKey/comments → comments##create` with named route `postComments`. Inside the `Comments` controller, the parent key is available as `params.postKey`. Rails-style inline blocks (`.resources("posts", function(r) { ... })`) are not supported — use the `callback=` named argument.
+
+## Namespaced sections
+
+Group a set of controllers under a shared URL prefix and a subfolder. `.namespace(name="admin")` prefixes URLs with `/admin` and loads controllers from `app/controllers/admin/`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .namespace(name="admin", callback=function(map) {
+        map.resources("posts");
+    })
+    .resources("posts")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+URLs become `/admin/posts`, `/admin/posts/:key`, and so on; the controller class is `admin/Posts.cfc`. The outer `.resources("posts")` still serves the public `/posts` URLs — namespaces don't replace the non-namespaced routes, they sit alongside them.
+
+## Constrain pattern placeholders
+
+Pattern placeholders are written as `[name]`. By default any non-slash string matches. Pass a `constraints` struct to restrict a placeholder to a regex.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .get(
+        name="postArchive",
+        pattern="/posts/[year]/[month]",
+        to="posts##archive",
+        constraints={year="\d{4}", month="\d{2}"}
+    )
+    .resources("posts")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+With the constraint, `/posts/2026/04` matches and fills `params.year="2026"`, `params.month="04"`. `/posts/foo/bar` does not match — the router moves on to the next route. Without the constraint, `/posts/foo/bar` would match and `params.year="foo"`.
+
+## Route helpers
+
+Every route with a `name` is reachable by name from anywhere in your app. The helpers take the name, resolve it to a URL, and fill in placeholders from named arguments.
+
+- `linkTo(route="post", key=post.id, text="View")` — renders an `<a href="/posts/123">`
+- `urlFor(route="newPost")` — returns the URL string
+- `redirectTo(route="posts")` — 302 redirect in a controller action
+- `buttonTo(route="post", key=post.id, text="Delete", method="delete")` — small form for non-GET verbs
+- `startFormTag(route="post", key=post.id, method="put")` — opens a form that posts to the route
+
+Rename the resource once in `routes.cfm` and every helper updates. See [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/) for `startFormTag` examples in context.
+
+## Listing all routes
+
+When a route isn't matching what you expect, print the registered route table. `wheels routes` shows every route's method, path, controller#action, and name. For a smoke test that your CLI is installed and responding:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+Then in your app directory, run `wheels routes` to see the full table.

+title: Seeding
+description: Populate development and production databases with default records — idempotently.

+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Seeds are the records your app can't live without — system roles, feature flags, a "General" category, the default tenant. You describe them once in `app/db/seeds.cfm` using `seedOnce()`, then re-run the file any time without worrying about duplicates or errors. A fresh clone of your repo reaches a working baseline by applying migrations and then running seeds.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- Why seeds live outside migrations and when to reach for each
+- How `seedOnce()` makes re-running safe by default
+- How to split shared seeds from environment-specific seeds
+- How to run seeds from the CLI and scaffold new seed files
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how to define models and write migrations. See [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/) and [Migrations](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/migrations/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Why seeds — and not migrations
+
+Seeds are idempotent. You can run them on a brand-new database, on a database that already has most of the records, or on one that has all of them — the outcome is the same and nothing breaks. Migrations are the opposite: each one runs exactly once per database, carries the schema forward, and lands a permanent row in `schema_migrations`. Edit a migration that's already been applied in production and the edit never runs.
+
+Mix those responsibilities and you get drift. A row inserted by a migration on Tuesday can't be updated by re-running the migration on Thursday; you need a second migration for that. A row inserted by `seedOnce()` in `seeds.cfm` can be changed by editing the seed file and re-running — or left alone if it's already there. Production data that should exist on every deployment (system roles, feature flags, tenant defaults, lookup tables) belongs in seeds. Schema changes belong in migrations.
+
+## The canonical seeds file
+
+Shared seeds — the ones that should run in every environment — live in `app/db/seeds.cfm`. The file is plain CFML script; each `seedOnce()` call describes one record.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+seedOnce(
+    modelName="Role",
+    uniqueProperties="name",
+    properties={
+        name: "admin",
+        description: "Administrator with full access"
+    }
+);
+seedOnce(
+    modelName="Role",
+    uniqueProperties="name",
+    properties={
+        name: "member",
+        description: "Regular user"
+    }
+);
+```
+
+Run it with `wheels seed`. The seeder opens a transaction, includes `app/db/seeds.cfm`, runs every `seedOnce()` call, and commits. If any call throws, the whole file rolls back — you never end up half-seeded.
+
+## How `seedOnce` stays idempotent
+
+`seedOnce()` takes three arguments: the model name, a comma-delimited list of `uniqueProperties`, and a struct of `properties` for the new record. The `uniqueProperties` must appear in the `properties` struct — those are the fields the seeder uses to decide whether a matching record already exists.
+
+Under the hood, it calls `model("<ModelName>").findOne(where="<uniqueProperty>='<value>'")` first. If the record exists, the call increments `totalSkipped` and returns silently. If not, it calls `model(...).new(properties).save()` and increments `totalCreated`. Re-running is always safe: no duplicates, no errors, no surprises.
+
+The `properties` struct is what gets persisted on creation, so include every non-nullable column the model needs — not just the unique ones. The `uniqueProperties` list is only the subset used for the lookup.
+
+## Environment-specific seeds
+
+Seeds that should only run in some environments live in `app/db/seeds/<environment>.cfm`. Common uses: dev-only test accounts, sample content for staging, production-only admin users wired to real email addresses.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+seedOnce(
+    modelName="User",
+    uniqueProperties="email",
+    properties={
+        firstName: "Dev",
+        lastName: "User",
+        email: "dev@example.com",
+        password: "hunter2"
+    }
+);
+```
+
+Save that as `app/db/seeds/development.cfm` and it runs after `seeds.cfm` whenever the current environment is `development`. The same pattern works for `testing.cfm` and `production.cfm`.
+
+Execution order is fixed: `app/db/seeds.cfm` runs first (always), then `app/db/seeds/<environment>.cfm` (if present). Both files share the same transaction — a failure in either rolls the whole run back.
+
+## Running seeds
+
+Seeds run against your app's datasource, so the server has to be up.
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+The commands you'll actually use day-to-day:
+
+- `wheels seed` — run convention seeds, auto-detecting the current environment
+- `wheels seed --environment=production` — run seeds for a specific environment regardless of where the app thinks it's running
+- `wheels generate seed` — scaffold `app/db/seeds.cfm` if it doesn't already exist
+- `wheels generate seed --all` — scaffold `seeds.cfm` plus `seeds/development.cfm` and `seeds/production.cfm` stubs
+
+There's also `wheels seed --generate`, which bypasses your seed files and generates random fake records for every model. It's legacy behaviour from before `seedOnce()` existed and rarely what you want — prefer explicit `seedOnce()` calls where you control the data.
+
+## Multiple `seedOnce` calls in one file
+
+Every `seedOnce()` call in a seed file runs inside the same transaction, so if any of them throws, nothing commits. That's the point: if the seventh call fails because of a typo, the first six don't leak into production.
+
+The common pattern is to seed parent records first, then look them up to wire children:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+seedOnce(
+    modelName="Category",
+    uniqueProperties="slug",
+    properties={ name: "Announcements", slug: "announcements" }
+);
+category = model("Category").findOne(where="slug='announcements'");
+seedOnce(
+    modelName="Post",
+    uniqueProperties="slug",
+    properties={
+        title: "Welcome",
+        slug: "welcome",
+        body: "...",
+        categoryId: category.id
+    }
+);
+```
+
+The `findOne()` in the middle works whether `seedOnce()` just created the category or found an existing one — the record is there either way by the time the next line runs.
+
+## What `seedOnce` can't do
+
+The `once` in `seedOnce()` is the whole point, so a few things are explicitly out of scope:
+
+- **Update existing records.** Re-running doesn't change already-seeded rows. If you edit the `description` in a `seedOnce()` block, the change only applies to databases where the record didn't exist yet.
+- **Delete records.** There's no "seedUnset". If you need to remove a seeded row, write a one-off migration.
+- **Manage many-to-many joins automatically.** You'd seed each side plus the join row manually.
+
+For any of those, write a one-off migration or a script under `app/lib/` that you invoke from a CLI command.
+
+## Testing with seeds
+
+Tests should not run production seeds. The test harness has its own fixture setup — `tests/populate.cfm` in the WheelsTest convention — that builds whatever records each spec needs and tears them down between runs. Pointing the seeder at a test database would couple your specs to whatever rows happen to live in `seeds.cfm`, which is the opposite of what fixtures are for.
+
+Testing content lands in Phase 2b; until then, see the stub at [Testing](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/).

+title: Validation and Error Display
+description: Built-in validations, when they fire, the errors API, and rendering errors inline.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 5
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Validations live on the model and run automatically on `save()` and `update()`. Every failure collects onto the record as an error you can read from the controller or render into a view. This page walks the built-in helpers, the errors API, and the two patterns for surfacing errors back to the user.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to declare validations in `config()` and which helpers ship with the framework
+- When validations fire — `save()`, `update()`, `create()`, and the manual `.valid()` trigger
+- How to read errors with `hasErrors()`, `errors()`, `errorsOn()`, and how to add your own with `addError()`
+- Two ways to render errors in a view — the summary helper and per-field output
+- How to write custom validation methods and when to scope validations with `when` or `condition`
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know why validations live on the model. See [ORM Philosophy](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/orm-philosophy/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Declaring validations
+
+Validations are declared in the model's `config()` method. Each helper registers a rule; the framework runs them all every time the record is saved, collects the failures as errors, and short-circuits the save if any fail.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        validatesPresenceOf(properties="title,body");
+        validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120);
+        validatesUniquenessOf(property="slug");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  **Do not mix positional and named arguments.** Wheels functions can't tolerate it — `validatesPresenceOf("name", message="Required")` breaks, because `"name"` is positional and `message=` is named. Use all-named when you pass options: `validatesPresenceOf(properties="name", message="Required")`. A single positional argument with no options is fine: `validatesPresenceOf("name")`.
+</Aside>
+
+The plural `properties="title,body"` and singular `property="title"` arguments are aliases for the same underlying value — use whichever reads better for the field count. Rules registered via these helpers all accept a `message` argument for a custom failure message.
+
+## Built-in validations
+
+Every helper below is a thin wrapper over the same registration machinery. The `property` / `properties` argument accepts either a single name or a comma-separated list.
+
+- `validatesPresenceOf(properties="name,email")` — value must not be blank.
+- `validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120, minimum=3)` — length bounds. Also accepts `exactly` and `within` (a two-value list like `"3,120"`).
+- `validatesFormatOf(property="email", type="email")` — format check. Pass `regEx="..."` for a custom pattern, or `type` for one of the built-in types (`creditcard`, `date`, `email`, `eurodate`, `guid`, `ssn`, `telephone`, `time`, `URL`, `USdate`, `UUID`, `variableName`, `zipcode`, `boolean`).
+- `validatesUniquenessOf(property="email", scope="organizationId")` — runs a DB check; fails if another row already has the value. `scope` narrows the uniqueness check to rows matching one or more properties.
+- `validatesInclusionOf(property="status", list="draft,published,archived")` — value must appear in `list`.
+- `validatesExclusionOf(property="subdomain", list="admin,www,api")` — value must **not** appear in `list`. Useful for reserved words.
+- `validatesNumericalityOf(property="quantity", greaterThan=0)` — numeric checks. Also accepts `onlyInteger`, `odd`, `even`, `greaterThanOrEqualTo`, `equalTo`, `lessThan`, `lessThanOrEqualTo`.
+- `validatesConfirmationOf(property="password")` — matches `password` against `passwordConfirmation`. The confirmation field never gets saved to the database.
+
+## When validations fire
+
+Wheels runs validations automatically on most write paths. You can also trigger them manually without touching the database.
+
+- **`save()` and `update()`** — validations run before the write. If any fail, the call returns `false`, errors are attached to the record, and the database is never touched.
+- **`create()`** — shortcut for `new()` + `save()`; validations run the same way.
+- **`.valid()`** — manually run validations on an unsaved record. Returns `true` / `false` and populates errors. Use this when you need to validate before displaying a form, or in background work where you control the save later.
+- **`save(validate=false)`** — skip validations entirely. Rare, and only safe when you know the data is already clean (seeds, data imports, migrations).
+
+Both `create` and `update` callbacks fire at the right time: `when="onCreate"` rules only run for new records, `when="onUpdate"` rules only run when updating an existing row, `when="onSave"` (the default) runs in both cases.
+
+## The errors API
+
+When `save()` returns `false`, the record carries the failures with it. The controller's job is to check and re-render:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+        if (post.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+On the record itself, four methods cover the common cases:
+
+- `hasErrors()` — boolean. Pass a property name (`hasErrors("title")`) to narrow to a single field.
+- `errors()` — array of error structs. Each struct has `property` and `message`.
+- `errorsOn("title")` — array of error structs for a single property. Returns an empty array when none.
+- `addError(property="title", message="...")` — attach an error manually. Useful from a `beforeSave` callback or a custom validation method.
+
+Because `save()` already populates errors before returning `false`, there is nothing extra to do in the controller — just re-render the form and let the view read the record.
+
+## Inline rendering in views
+
+The fastest way to show every error is `errorMessagesFor`. Drop it above the form and Wheels renders a `<ul class="error-messages">` with one `<li>` per error. When there are no errors, it returns an empty string.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfoutput>
+    ##startFormTag(route="posts")##
+        ##errorMessagesFor("post")##
+        ##textField(objectName="post", property="title")##
+        ##textArea(objectName="post", property="body")##
+        <button type="submit">Save</button>
+    ##endFormTag()##
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+The argument is the view-scope variable name — `"post"` here matches `posts` in the `new` action. See [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/) for the wider form flow this slots into.
+
+## Per-field error display
+
+There is no dedicated per-field helper that matches the form-helper style, but two options cover every case.
+
+The short path is `errorMessageOn`, which returns the first error for a property (empty string when none):
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfoutput>
+    ##textField(objectName="post", property="title")##
+    ##errorMessageOn(objectName="post", property="title", wrapperElement="span", class="error")##
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+For full control over markup, loop `errorsOn` yourself:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+<cfoutput>
+    <cfset titleErrors = post.errorsOn("title")>
+    <cfif ArrayLen(titleErrors) gt 0>
+        <span class="error">##titleErrors[1].message##</span>
+    </cfif>
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+## Custom validations
+
+When a built-in helper doesn't cover the rule — cross-field checks, external lookups, conditional uniqueness — register a custom method. The method is `private`, returns nothing, and calls `addError()` whenever it decides the record is invalid.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        validate(methods="mustBeUniqueAcrossTenants");
+    }
+
+    private function mustBeUniqueAcrossTenants() {
+        if (model("Post").exists(where="slug='##this.slug##' AND orgId=##this.orgId##")) {
+            addError(property="slug", message="Already in use in this organization");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Register one or more methods via `validate(methods="method1,method2")`. Use `validateOnCreate` or `validateOnUpdate` to limit the trigger. Inside the method, `this` is the record under validation — read any property off it and call `addError` (or `addErrorToBase` for record-wide errors that don't belong to a specific field).
+
+## Conditional validations
+
+Every built-in helper (and `validate` itself) accepts `when`, `condition`, and `unless`. Use them to scope a rule to a specific lifecycle event or to a runtime state.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        validatesPresenceOf(property="approverId", when="onUpdate");
+        validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120, condition="status != 'draft'");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- `when` — `"onSave"` (default, fires on create and update), `"onCreate"`, or `"onUpdate"`.
+- `condition` — CFML expression evaluated against the record. The rule runs only when it returns `true`.
+- `unless` — inverse of `condition`; the rule runs only when the expression returns `false`.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  Validations on associations — like requiring child records to be valid before the parent saves — are covered in the associations guide (coming up in this series). `validatesAssociated` is the relevant helper.

+title: Views, Layouts, Partials
+description: Rendering templates, the default layout, extracting partials, and how controller data reaches the view.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, FileTree, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+A view is a `.cfm` template that runs after your action finishes. It renders inside a layout, can include partials, and reads whatever variables the controller set. This page shows you the directory layout, how the default layout wraps every view, how to override it, and how partials let you stop repeating yourself.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- Where view files live and what the underscore prefix means
+- What the default layout does and how to override it per-action or per-controller
+- How controller variables reach the view — and why every view should `cfparam` the ones it reads
+- How to extract a partial and pass data into it
+- Which helpers to reach for when you need a link, an image, or an asset tag
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know MVC basics. See [MVC in Wheels](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/mvc-in-wheels/).
+</Aside>
+
+## View file structure
+
+Views live under `app/views/`, one folder per controller. Action views take the action's name (`index.cfm`, `show.cfm`). Partials start with an underscore. A `shared/` folder is the convention for partials that cross controller boundaries.
+
+<FileTree>
+- app/views/
+  - layout.cfm default layout wraps every view
+  - posts/
+    - index.cfm Posts#index renders this
+    - show.cfm
+    - new.cfm
+    - edit.cfm
+    - _form.cfm shared form partial (underscore prefix convention)
+  - comments/
+    - _comment.cfm shared comment partial
+  - shared/
+    - _header.cfm cross-controller partial
+</FileTree>
+
+The underscore isn't decorative — it's how Wheels tells a partial apart from an action view. You never type the underscore when including the partial; the framework adds it back.
+
+## The default layout
+
+`app/views/layout.cfm` is the outer shell every response renders inside. It's a normal CFML file that calls `includeContent()` where the action view's output should land. Put the header, footer, navigation, and any always-on UI chrome here.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/layout.cfm"
+<!doctype html>
+<html>
+<head>
+    <title>My App</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+    <header>...</header>
+    <main>
+        <cfoutput>##includeContent()##</cfoutput>
+    </main>
+    <footer>...</footer>
+</body>
+</html>
+```
+
+`includeContent()` places the action view's output into the layout.
+
+## Rendering the action view
+
+After the controller action returns, Wheels looks for a view matching the controller and action. `Posts#index` renders `app/views/posts/index.cfm`. You don't call a render function unless you want something other than the default — see [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/) for `renderView(action="summary")` and the other overrides.
+
+## Overriding layouts
+
+Three common overrides, from narrowest to widest scope:
+
+- **Per-action** — call `renderView(layout="print")` in the action. Uses `app/views/print.cfm`.
+- **Per-controller** — call `usesLayout(template="admin")` from `config()`. Every action in the controller renders inside `app/views/admin.cfm`.
+- **No layout** — pass `layout=false` to `renderView` (or `renderPartial`). The action view renders on its own, no outer shell. Useful for Turbo Frame responses and raw fragments.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Admin/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        usesLayout(template="admin");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Inline interpolation in views
+
+Variables the controller sets become variables in the view — no explicit passing, no `assigns[]` bag. If the action ran `posts = model("Post").findAll()`, the view reads `posts` directly.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/posts/show.cfm"
+<cfoutput>
+    <h1>##post.title##</h1>
+    <p>##post.body##</p>
+    <p>Posted <em>##DateFormat(post.publishedAt, "long")##</em></p>
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+Finders return a query object (or a model instance for `findByKey`/`findOne`). Loop over queries with `<cfloop query="posts">`, not `<cfloop array="#posts#">` — query objects aren't arrays.
+
+## cfparam for safety
+
+Every variable a view reads should have a `cfparam` at the top of the file. If the controller forgets to set one — or a partial ends up rendered from a different action — the view won't blow up with "variable undefined." It renders empty instead, which is recoverable.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/posts/index.cfm"
+<cfparam name="posts" default="">
+<cfparam name="post" default="">
+```
+
+## Partials
+
+Partials are the reuse mechanism for view code. A partial file starts with an underscore — `_form.cfm` — but the include call leaves the underscore off: `includePartial(partial="form")`. Wheels finds `app/views/<currentController>/_form.cfm`.
+
+Partial scope is isolated. The partial doesn't see the surrounding view's local variables automatically — pass them as named arguments and they arrive as local variables inside the partial.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/comments/index.cfm"
+<cfoutput>
+    ##includePartial(partial="comment", comment=myComment)##
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+Inside `app/views/comments/_comment.cfm`, the named argument `comment` is available as a local variable — `comment.body`, `comment.author`, and so on. Cross-controller partials take a path: `includePartial(partial="shared/header")` loads `app/views/shared/_header.cfm`.
+
+`renderPartial` is the controller-side equivalent — use it from an action when you want to return a partial as the full response (Turbo Frame swaps, AJAX updates). Same partial file, same arguments; the difference is who calls it. See [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/).
+
+## Escaping and safety
+
+Anything a user typed — a search term, a comment body, a profile bio — must be escaped before it lands in HTML. The `h()` helper wraps `EncodeForHTML` and is the one-character way to do it in a view: `h(userSubmittedText)`.
+
+Wheels 4.0 form helpers escape their input by default (see [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/)). Outside the form helpers, escaping is on you. Never interpolate user input into a view unescaped — that's the classic XSS gap.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/search/show.cfm"
+<cfoutput>
+    <p>##h(params.searchTerm)##</p>
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+## Common view helpers
+
+The helpers you'll reach for most often in view code:
+
+- `linkTo(route=..., key=..., text=..., class=...)` — renders an `<a>` tag with the URL filled in from a named route.
+- `urlFor(route=..., key=...)` — returns just the URL string. Use when you need the URL outside an anchor (JavaScript, form action, `Location:` header).
+- `imageTag("logo.png", alt="Logo")` — renders `<img>` with the path resolved against `public/images/`.
+- `styleSheetLinkTag("app.css")` — renders `<link rel="stylesheet">` against `public/stylesheets/`.
+- `javaScriptIncludeTag("app.js")` — renders `<script src>` against `public/javascripts/`.
+- `h(value)` — HTML-escape a string before interpolating it.
+
+Form and field helpers (`textField`, `emailField`, `submitTag`, and friends) get their own page — see [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/).

-title: Creating Custom Commands Guide
----
-# Creating Custom Commands Guide
-
-Learn how to extend Wheels CLI with your own custom commands.
-
-## Overview
-
-Wheels CLI is built on CommandBox, making it easy to add custom commands. Commands can be simple scripts or complex operations using the service architecture.
-
-## Setup for Contributors
-
-### Step 1. Create a box.json if not exist in Directory "cli/src"
-
-Make sure these properties exist: "name", "version", "slug" and "type"
-
-```json
-{
-    "name": "wheels-cli",
-    "version": "3.1.0-SNAPSHOT",
-    "slug": "wheels-cli",
-    "type": "modules"
-}
-```
-
-### Step 2. Link the CLI Module
-
-Open CommandBox in the directory "cli/src" and link this directory as a module:
-
-```bash
-box package link --force
-```
-
-This allows you to develop and test CLI commands locally.
-
-## Basic Command Structure
-
-### Step 3. Create Command File
-
-Create a new file in `cli/src/commands/wheels/`:
-
-```cfc
-// commands/wheels/hello.cfc
-component extends="wheels-cli.models.BaseCommand" {
-    
-    /**
-     * Say hello
-     */
-    function run(string name = "World") {
-        print.line("Hello, #arguments.name#!");
-    }
-    
-}
-```
-
-### Step 4. Run Your Command
-
-```bash
-wheels hello
-# Output: Hello, World!
-
-wheels hello John
-# Output: Hello, John!
-```
-
-## Command Anatomy
-
-### Component Structure
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels-cli.models.BaseCommand" {
-    
-    // Command metadata
-    property name="name" default="mycommand";
-    property name="description" default="Does something useful";
-    
-    // Service injection
-    property name="myService" inject="MyService@wheels-cli";
-    
-    /**
-     * Main command entry point
-     * 
-     * @name Name of something
-     * @force Force overwrite
-     * @name.hint The name to use
-     * @force.hint Whether to force
-     */
-    function run(
-        required string name,
-        boolean force = false
-    ) {
-        // Reconstruct arguments for handling -- prefixed options
-        arguments = reconstructArgs(argStruct=arguments);
-
-        // Command logic here
-    }
-

-
-CommandBox generates help from your code:
-
-```bash
-wheels hello --help
-
-NAME
-  wheels hello
-
-SYNOPSIS
-  wheels hello [name]
-
-DESCRIPTION
-  Say hello
-
-ARGUMENTS
-  name = World
-    Name to greet

-
-## Advanced Commands
-
-### 1. Multi-Level Commands
-
-Create nested command structure:
-
-```cfc
-// commands/wheels/deploy.cfc
-component extends="wheels-cli.models.BaseCommand" {
-    function run() {
-        print.line("Usage: wheels deploy [staging|production]");
-    }
-}
-
-// commands/wheels/deploy/staging.cfc
-component extends="wheels-cli.models.BaseCommand" {
-    function run() {
-        print.line("Deploying to staging...");
-    }
-}
-
-// commands/wheels/deploy/production.cfc
-component extends="wheels-cli.models.BaseCommand" {
-    function run() {
-        print.line("Deploying to production...");

-}
-```
-
-Usage:
-```bash
-wheels deploy staging
-wheels deploy production
-```
-
-### 2. Interactive Commands
-
-Get user input:
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels-cli.models.BaseCommand" {
-    
-    function run() {
-        // Simple input
-        var name = ask("What's your name? ");
-        
-        // Masked input (passwords)

-    function run(required string name) {
-        // Use services
-        var template = templateService.getTemplate("custom");
-        var result = codeGenerationService.generateFromTemplate(
-            template = template,
-            data = {name: arguments.name}
-        );
-        
-        print.greenLine("Generated: #result.path#");
-    }
-    
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Create Custom Service
-
-```cfc
-// models/CustomService.cfc
-component singleton {
-    
-    function processData(required struct data) {
-        // Service logic
-        return data;
-    }
-    
-}
-
-// Register in ModuleConfig.cfc
-binder.map("CustomService@wheels-cli")
-    .to("wheels.cli.models.CustomService")
-    .asSingleton();
-```

-        return;
-    }
-    
-    fileWrite(filePath, content);
-    print.greenLine("✓ File created: #filePath#");
-}
-```
-
-### Directory Operations

-        }
-    ]);
-}
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Basic Error Handling
-
-```cfc
-function run(required string file) {
-    try {
-        var content = fileRead(arguments.file);
-        processFile(content);
-        print.greenLine("✓ Success");
-    } catch (any e) {
-        print.redLine("✗ Error: #e.message#");
-        
-        if (arguments.verbose ?: false) {
-            print.line(e.detail);
-            print.line(e.stacktrace);
-        }
-        
-        // Set exit code
-        return 1;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Error Messages
-
-```cfc
-function run(required string name) {
-    // Validation
-    if (!isValidName(arguments.name)) {
-        error("Invalid name. Names must be alphanumeric.");
-    }
-
-    // Warnings
-    if (hasSpecialChars(arguments.name)) {
-        print.yellowLine("Warning: Special characters detected");
-    }
-
-    // Success
-    print.greenLine("Name is valid");
-}
-
-private function error(required string message) {
-    print.redLine("#arguments.message#");
-    exit(1);
-}
-```
-
-## Command Testing
-
-### Unit Testing Commands
-
-```cfc
-// tests/commands/HelloTest.cfc
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-    
-    function run() {
-        describe("Hello Command", function() {
-            
-            it("greets with default name", function() {
-                var result = execute("wheels hello");
-                expect(result).toInclude("Hello, World!");
-            });
-            
-            it("greets with custom name", function() {
-                var result = execute("wheels hello John");
-                expect(result).toInclude("Hello, John!");
-            });
-            
-        });
-    }
-    
-    private function execute(required string command) {
-        // Capture output
-        savecontent variable="local.output" {
-            shell.run(arguments.command);
-        }
-        return local.output;
-    }
-    
-}
-```
-
-### Integration Testing
-
-```cfc
-it("generates files correctly", function() {
-    // Run command
-    execute("wheels generate custom test");
-    
-    // Verify files created
-    expect(fileExists("/custom/test.cfc")).toBeTrue();
-    
-    // Verify content
-    var content = fileRead("/custom/test.cfc");
-    expect(content).toInclude("component");
-    
-    // Cleanup
-    fileDelete("/custom/test.cfc");
-});
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Command Naming
-
-- Use verbs for actions: `generate`, `create`, `deploy`
-- Use nouns for resources: `model`, `controller`, `migration`
-- Be consistent with existing commands
-
-### 2. Argument Validation
-
-```cfc
-function run(required string name, string type = "default") {
-    // Validate required
-    if (!len(trim(arguments.name))) {
-        error("Name cannot be empty");
-    }
-    
-    // Validate options
-    var validTypes = ["default", "custom", "advanced"];
-    if (!arrayFind(validTypes, arguments.type)) {
-        error("Invalid type. Must be one of: #arrayToList(validTypes)#");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Provide Feedback
-
-```cfc
-function run() {
-    print.line("Starting process...").toConsole();
-    
-    // Show what's happening
-    print.indentedLine("→ Loading configuration");
-    var config = loadConfig();
-    
-    print.indentedLine("→ Processing files");
-    var count = processFiles();
-    
-    print.indentedLine("→ Saving results");
-    saveResults();
-    
-    print.greenBoldLine("✓ Complete! Processed #count# files.");
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Make Commands Idempotent
-
-```cfc
-function run(required string name) {
-    var filePath = resolvePath("#arguments.name#.txt");
-    
-    // Check if already exists
-    if (fileExists(filePath)) {
-        print.yellowLine("File already exists, skipping");
-        return;
-    }
-    
-    // Create file
-    fileWrite(filePath, "content");
-    print.greenLine("✓ Created file");
-}
-```
-
-## Publishing Commands
-
-### 1. Package as Module
-
-Create `box.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-    "name": "my-wheels-commands",
-    "version": "1.0.0",
-    "type": "commandbox-modules",
-    "dependencies": {
-        "wheels-cli": "^3.1.0"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Module Structure
-
-```
-my-wheels-commands/
-├── ModuleConfig.cfc
-├── commands/
-│   └── wheels/
-│       └── mycommand.cfc
-└── models/
-    └── MyService.cfc
-```
-
-### 3. Publish to ForgeBox
-
-```bash
-box forgebox publish
-```
-

-            var dbInfo = getDatabaseInfo();
-            
-            // Create backup
-            var backupPath = resolvePath(arguments.file);
-            createBackup(dbInfo, backupPath);
-            
-            spinner.stop();

-            
-        } catch (any e) {
-            spinner.stop();
-            print.redLine("✗ Backup failed: #e.message#");
-            return 1;
-        }
-    }
-    
-}
-```
-
-### Code Quality Command

-
-        var analysisService = application.wirebox.getInstance("AnalysisService@wheels-cli");
-        var issues = analysisService.analyze(arguments.path);
-        
-        if (arrayLen(issues)) {
-            print.redLine("Found #arrayLen(issues)# issues:");
-            
-            for (var issue in issues) {
-                print.line("#issue.file#:#issue.line# - #issue.message#");
-            }
-            
-            if (arguments.fix) {
-                print.line().line("Attempting fixes...");
-                var fixed = analysisService.fix(issues);
-                print.greenLine("Fixed #fixed# issues");
-            }
-        } else {
-            print.greenLine("✓ No issues found!");
-        }
-    }

-title: lucee.json Reference
-description: >-
-  Complete reference for the lucee.json configuration file — all fields,
-  defaults, and annotated examples for LuCLI-powered Wheels applications.
----
-
-# lucee.json Reference
-
-`lucee.json` is the single configuration file for LuCLI-powered Wheels applications. It replaces CommandBox's separate `box.json` and `server.json` files, combining server settings, JVM configuration, URL rewriting, and Lucee mappings into one declarative file.
-
-## Location
-
-Place `lucee.json` in your **project root** (the same directory as `app/`, `config/`, and `public/`):
-
-```
-myapp/
-├── lucee.json          ← here
-├── app/
-├── config/
-├── public/             ← webroot
-├── tests/
-└── vendor/
-```
-
-The CLI reads `lucee.json` to detect the server port, and LuCLI's embedded Lucee server uses it for startup configuration.
-
-## Default File
-
-Running `wheels new myapp` generates this `lucee.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "version": "7.0.2.101",
-  "port": 8080,
-  "shutdownPort": 8081,
-  "webroot": "./public",
-  "openBrowser": true,
-  "jvm": {
-    "maxMemory": "512m",
-    "minMemory": "128m"
-  },
-  "urlRewrite": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "routerFile": "index.cfm"
-  },
-  "admin": {
-    "enabled": true
-  },
-  "enableLucee": true,
-  "enableREST": false,
-  "monitoring": {
-    "enabled": false,
-    "jmx": {
-      "port": 8082
-    }
-  },
-  "configuration": {
-    "datasources": {},
-    "mappings": {
-      "/wheels": "../vendor/wheels",
-      "/app": "../app",
-      "/config": "../config",
-      "/tests": "../tests"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Field Reference
-
-### Top-Level Fields
-
-| Field | Type | Default | Description |
-|-------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `name` | string | App name | Application identifier. Set to the name you pass to `wheels new`. |
-| `version` | string | `"7.0.2.101"` | Lucee engine version to use. Determines which embedded Lucee runtime LuCLI starts. |
-| `port` | number | `8080` | HTTP port for the development server. The CLI detects running servers by checking this port first. |
-| `shutdownPort` | number | `port + 1` | Port used to send shutdown commands to the server. Always set to one above `port` during scaffolding. |
-| `webroot` | string | `"./public"` | Relative path to the web-accessible directory. All HTTP requests are served from this directory. |
-| `openBrowser` | boolean | `true` | Whether to automatically open a browser tab when the server starts via `wheels start`. |
-| `enableLucee` | boolean | `true` | Enable Lucee-specific extensions and features. Should always be `true` for Wheels applications. |
-| `enableREST` | boolean | `false` | Enable Lucee's built-in REST servlet. Not required for Wheels (which has its own routing). |
-
-### jvm
-
-JVM heap memory settings for the embedded Lucee server.
-
-| Field | Type | Default | Description |
-|-------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `jvm.maxMemory` | string | `"512m"` | Maximum heap size. Use `m` for megabytes, `g` for gigabytes. Increase for large applications or heavy query usage. |
-| `jvm.minMemory` | string | `"128m"` | Initial heap size. Setting this closer to `maxMemory` reduces GC pauses during startup. |
-
-**Example — larger application:**
-```json
-"jvm": {
-  "maxMemory": "1g",
-  "minMemory": "256m"
-}
-```
-
-### urlRewrite
-
-URL rewriting configuration for clean URLs (e.g., `/users/1` instead of `/index.cfm?controller=users&action=show&key=1`).
-
-| Field | Type | Default | Description |
-|-------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `urlRewrite.enabled` | boolean | `true` | Enable URL rewriting. Should always be `true` for Wheels. |
-| `urlRewrite.routerFile` | string | `"index.cfm"` | The front-controller file that handles all requests. This is Wheels' entry point — don't change it. |
-
-### admin
-
-Lucee server administration panel settings.
-
-| Field | Type | Default | Description |
-|-------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `admin.enabled` | boolean | `true` | Enable the Lucee admin panel (accessible at `/lucee/admin/`). Disable in production for security. |
-
-### monitoring
-
-Server monitoring and JMX configuration.
-
-| Field | Type | Default | Description |
-|-------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `monitoring.enabled` | boolean | `false` | Enable server monitoring. When enabled, exposes JMX metrics for external monitoring tools. |
-| `monitoring.jmx.port` | number | `8082` | JMX remote port for connecting monitoring tools (e.g., JConsole, VisualVM). Only used when monitoring is enabled. |
-
-**Example — enable monitoring:**
-```json
-"monitoring": {
-  "enabled": true,
-  "jmx": {
-    "port": 9090
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### configuration
-
-Lucee server configuration for datasources and component mappings.
-
-#### configuration.datasources
-
-Datasource definitions that Lucee registers at startup. By default this is empty — Wheels applications typically configure datasources in `config/app.cfm` or `config/settings.cfm` using `.env` variables.
-
-When you scaffold with `--setup-h2` or the default SQLite option, the datasource configuration is written to `config/app.cfm` rather than `lucee.json`. However, you can define datasources here for Lucee-level registration:
-
-```json
-"datasources": {
-  "myapp": {
-    "class": "org.h2.Driver",
-    "connectionString": "jdbc:h2:file:./db/h2/myapp;MODE=MySQL",
-    "username": "sa",
-    "password": ""
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### configuration.mappings
-
-Lucee component mappings that allow CFML to resolve component paths. These are the equivalent of `this.mappings` in `Application.cfc`, but defined declaratively.
-
-| Mapping | Default Value | Purpose |
-|---------|--------------|---------|
-| `/wheels` | `"../vendor/wheels"` | Wheels framework core. Models extend `"Model"`, controllers extend `"Controller"` — both resolve through this mapping. |
-| `/app` | `"../app"` | Application code (models, controllers, views, events, etc.). |
-| `/config` | `"../config"` | Configuration files (`settings.cfm`, `routes.cfm`, `app.cfm`). |
-| `/tests` | `"../tests"` | Test specs and test infrastructure. |
-
-All paths are **relative to the webroot** (`./public`), which is why they use `../` to navigate up one directory.
-
-**Adding custom mappings:**
-```json
-"mappings": {
-  "/wheels": "../vendor/wheels",
-  "/app": "../app",
-  "/config": "../config",
-  "/tests": "../tests",
-  "/lib": "../lib",
-  "/shared": "../../shared-components"
-}
-```
-
-## Annotated Examples
-
-### Minimal Configuration
-
-The smallest valid `lucee.json` for a Wheels project:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "port": 8080,
-  "webroot": "./public",
-  "urlRewrite": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "routerFile": "index.cfm"
-  },
-  "configuration": {
-    "mappings": {
-      "/wheels": "../vendor/wheels",
-      "/app": "../app",
-      "/config": "../config",
-      "/tests": "../tests"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Fields like `version`, `jvm`, `admin`, and `monitoring` use sensible defaults when omitted.
-
-### Production-Hardened Configuration
-
-A configuration suitable for production deployment:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "version": "7.0.2.101",
-  "port": 8080,
-  "shutdownPort": 8081,
-  "webroot": "./public",
-  "openBrowser": false,
-  "jvm": {
-    "maxMemory": "1g",
-    "minMemory": "512m"
-  },
-  "urlRewrite": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "routerFile": "index.cfm"
-  },
-  "admin": {
-    "enabled": false
-  },
-  "enableLucee": true,
-  "enableREST": false,
-  "monitoring": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "jmx": {
-      "port": 9090
-    }
-  },
-  "configuration": {
-    "datasources": {},
-    "mappings": {
-      "/wheels": "../vendor/wheels",
-      "/app": "../app",
-      "/config": "../config"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Key differences from development:
-- `openBrowser`: `false` — no browser popup on headless servers
-- `admin.enabled`: `false` — Lucee admin panel disabled for security
-- `jvm.maxMemory`: `"1g"` — more memory for production workloads
-- `jvm.minMemory`: `"512m"` — pre-allocate to reduce GC pressure
-- `monitoring.enabled`: `true` — expose JMX metrics
-- `/tests` mapping removed — no test code in production
-
-### API-Only Application
-
-For a Wheels application serving only JSON APIs:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapi",
-  "version": "7.0.2.101",
-  "port": 3000,
-  "shutdownPort": 3001,
-  "webroot": "./public",
-  "openBrowser": false,
-  "jvm": {
-    "maxMemory": "768m",
-    "minMemory": "256m"
-  },
-  "urlRewrite": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "routerFile": "index.cfm"
-  },
-  "admin": {
-    "enabled": false
-  },
-  "enableLucee": true,
-  "enableREST": false,
-  "monitoring": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "jmx": {
-      "port": 3002
-    }
-  },
-  "configuration": {
-    "datasources": {},
-    "mappings": {
-      "/wheels": "../vendor/wheels",
-      "/app": "../app",
-      "/config": "../config",
-      "/tests": "../tests"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Port with H2 Database
-
-For local development with a non-default port and H2:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "blog",
-  "version": "7.0.2.101",
-  "port": 3000,
-  "shutdownPort": 3001,
-  "webroot": "./public",
-  "openBrowser": true,
-  "jvm": {
-    "maxMemory": "512m",
-    "minMemory": "128m"
-  },
-  "urlRewrite": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "routerFile": "index.cfm"
-  },
-  "admin": {
-    "enabled": true
-  },
-  "enableLucee": true,
-  "enableREST": false,
-  "monitoring": {
-    "enabled": false
-  },
-  "configuration": {
-    "datasources": {
-      "blog": {
-        "class": "org.h2.Driver",
-        "connectionString": "jdbc:h2:file:./db/h2/blog;MODE=MySQL",
-        "username": "sa",
-        "password": ""
-      },
-      "wheelstestdb": {
-        "class": "org.h2.Driver",
-        "connectionString": "jdbc:h2:file:./db/h2/wheelstestdb;MODE=MySQL",
-        "username": "sa",
-        "password": ""
-      }
-    },
-    "mappings": {
-      "/wheels": "../vendor/wheels",
-      "/app": "../app",
-      "/config": "../config",
-      "/tests": "../tests"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## How the CLI Uses lucee.json
-
-### Port Detection
-
-When you run commands that need a running server (e.g., `wheels test`, `wheels reload`, `wheels migrate`), the CLI detects the server port using this priority:
-
-1. **`lucee.json`** — reads the `port` field and checks if that port is open
-2. **`.env`** — looks for a `PORT=` variable
-3. **Common ports** — tries 8080, 60000, 3000, 8500 in order
-
-### Project Scaffolding
-
-`wheels new myapp` generates `lucee.json` from the template at `cli/lucli/templates/app/lucee.json`. Template variables (`{{appName}}`, `{{port}}`, etc.) are replaced with values from the command options:
-
-| Template Variable | Source | Default |
-|-------------------|--------|---------|
-| `{{appName}}` | First argument to `wheels new` | (required) |
-| `{{port}}` | `--port` option | `8080` |
-| `{{shutdownPort}}` | Computed as `port + 1` | `8081` |
-| `{{openBrowser}}` | `--no-open-browser` flag | `true` |
-
-### Server Start
-
-`wheels start` delegates to LuCLI's embedded Lucee server, which reads `lucee.json` for:
-- Port binding (`port`, `shutdownPort`)
-- Webroot path (`webroot`)
-- JVM configuration (`jvm`)
-- Component mappings (`configuration.mappings`)
-- Datasource registration (`configuration.datasources`)
-
-## Comparison with CommandBox
-
-If you're migrating from CommandBox, here's how the fields map:
-
-| CommandBox | lucee.json | Notes |
-|------------|-----------|-------|
-| `server.json → web.http.port` | `port` | Flat field instead of nested |
-| `server.json → web.webroot` | `webroot` | Relative path, not absolute |
-| `server.json → app.cfengine` | `version` | Always Lucee (no Adobe CF option) |
-| `server.json → web.rewrites.enable` | `urlRewrite.enabled` | Same concept |
-| `server.json → jvm.heapSize` | `jvm.maxMemory` | Split into min/max |
-| `box.json → name` | `name` | Same purpose |
-| `Application.cfc → this.mappings` | `configuration.mappings` | Declarative in JSON |
-| CommandBox admin panel | `admin.enabled` | Single boolean toggle |
-
-For a full migration guide, see [Migrating from CommandBox](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/cli-guides/migration-from-commandbox/).
-
-## Environment Overrides
-
-Currently, `lucee.json` does not support environment-specific variants (e.g., `lucee-production.json`). For environment-specific configuration:
-
-- Use **`.env` files** for values that change per environment (database credentials, ports, feature flags). See [Configuration Management](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/configuration/).
-- Use **`config/settings.cfm`** and **`config/{environment}/settings.cfm`** for Wheels-level settings.
-- Use **`lucee.json`** for server-level settings that are the same across environments.
-
-> **Tip**: Keep `lucee.json` committed to version control. Move secrets and environment-specific values to `.env` files (which should be gitignored).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Server won't start
-
-Verify `lucee.json` is valid JSON:
-```bash
-python3 -c "import json; json.load(open('lucee.json'))"
-```
-
-Check that the `port` isn't already in use:
-```bash
-lsof -i :8080
-```
-
-### Mappings not resolving
-
-Ensure paths are relative to the **webroot**, not the project root. Since `webroot` is `./public`, a mapping of `"../vendor/wheels"` resolves to `<project-root>/vendor/wheels`.
-
-### CLI can't detect running server
-
-The CLI checks if the port in `lucee.json` is open. If your server is running on a different port (e.g., you changed it after starting), either:
-- Restart the server so it picks up the new port
-- Set `PORT=<number>` in your `.env` file as a fallback

-title: Migrating from CommandBox to LuCLI
----
-# Migrating from CommandBox to LuCLI
-
-This guide helps existing Wheels developers transition from CommandBox to LuCLI — the new Lucee-native CLI shipping with Wheels 3.1. CommandBox continues to work; LuCLI is an alternative, not a replacement.
-
-## Why LuCLI?
-
-| | CommandBox | LuCLI |
-|---|---|---|
-| Runtime | Java + CFML engine | Native Lucee |
-| Install size | ~200 MB | ~40 MB |
-| Startup time | 3–5 s | < 1 s |
-| MCP support | No | Built-in (AI editors) |
-| Package manager | ForgeBox | Lucee modules |
-| Config file | `box.json` / `server.json` | `lucee.json` |
-| Wheels module | `wheels-cli` (ForgeBox) | `wheels` (bundled) |
-
-LuCLI is faster, lighter, and includes native MCP support for AI-assisted development with Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot.
-
-## Installation
-
-### Remove CommandBox (optional)
-
-You can keep both installed side-by-side. If you want to remove CommandBox:
-
-```bash
-# macOS
-brew uninstall commandbox
-
-# Windows
-choco uninstall commandbox
-```
-
-### Install LuCLI
-
-```bash
-# macOS
-brew install lucli
-
-# Windows
-choco install lucli
-
-# Manual (any OS)
-# Download from https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/releases
-```
-
-### Install the Wheels module
-
-```bash
-lucli modules install wheels
-```
-
-After installation, the `wheels` command works identically to before:
-
-```bash
-wheels new myapp
-wheels generate model User
-wheels test
-```
-
-## Command Mapping
-
-### Core Commands
-
-| Task | CommandBox | LuCLI | Notes |
-|------|-----------|-------|-------|
-| Create new app | `wheels new myapp` | `wheels new myapp` | Same syntax. LuCLI uses `lucee.json` instead of `box.json` |
-| Start server | `box server start` | `wheels start` | LuCLI delegates to its own server command |
-| Stop server | `box server stop` | `wheels stop` | |
-| Reload app | `wheels reload` | `wheels reload` | Both detect reload password from `.env` |
-| Show info | `wheels info` | `wheels info` | LuCLI also shows model count and route count |
-| List routes | `wheels routes` | `wheels routes` | Both query the running server |
-
-### Code Generation
-
-Code generation commands are identical between CommandBox and LuCLI. Both share the same templates from `cli/src/templates/`.
-
-| Task | CommandBox | LuCLI |
-|------|-----------|-------|
-| Model | `wheels generate model User name email` | `wheels generate model User name email` |
-| Controller | `wheels generate controller Users index show` | `wheels generate controller Users index show` |
-| View | `wheels generate view users index` | `wheels generate view users index` |
-| Migration | `wheels generate migration CreateUsers` | `wheels generate migration CreateUsers` |
-| Scaffold | `wheels generate scaffold Post title body:text` | `wheels generate scaffold Post title body:text` |
-| API resource | `wheels generate api-resource Product name price:decimal` | `wheels generate api-resource Product name price:decimal` |
-| Route | `wheels generate route posts` | `wheels generate route posts` |
-| Test | `wheels generate test model User` | `wheels generate test model User` |
-| Property | `wheels generate property User email:string` | `wheels generate property User email:string` |
-
-**Shorthand aliases** work in LuCLI: `m` (model), `c` (controller), `v` (view), `s` (scaffold), `api` (api-resource), `r` (route), `prop` (property), `h` (helper).
-
-```bash
-# These are equivalent:
-wheels generate model User name email
-wheels generate m User name email
-```
-
-### Database Migrations
-
-| Task | CommandBox | LuCLI | Notes |
-|------|-----------|-------|-------|
-| Migrate to latest | `wheels dbmigrate latest` | `wheels migrate latest` | Command renamed |
-| Migrate up one | `wheels dbmigrate up` | `wheels migrate up` | |
-| Migrate down one | `wheels dbmigrate down` | `wheels migrate down` | |
-| Migration info | `wheels dbmigrate info` | `wheels migrate info` | |
-
-**Key difference**: CommandBox uses `dbmigrate`, LuCLI uses `migrate`.
-
-### Testing
-
-| Task | CommandBox | LuCLI | Notes |
-|------|-----------|-------|-------|
-| Run all tests | `wheels test run` | `wheels test` | |
-| Filter tests | `wheels test run --filter=models` | `wheels test --filter=models` | |
-| Verbose output | `wheels test run --debug` | `wheels test --verbose` | Flag renamed |
-
-### Code Analysis
-
-| Task | CommandBox | LuCLI |
-|------|-----------|-------|
-| Analyze all code | `wheels analyze code` | `wheels analyze` |
-| Validate code | `wheels validate` | `wheels validate` |
-
-### MCP (AI Editor Integration)
-
-This is new in LuCLI — CommandBox has no equivalent.
-
-```bash
-# Start MCP server for AI editors
-lucli mcp wheels
-```
-
-Configure in Claude Code (`.claude/claude_project_config.json`):
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "lucli",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-All LuCLI commands are auto-discovered as MCP tools (`wheels_generate`, `wheels_migrate`, `wheels_test`, etc.).
-
-## Configuration Changes
-
-### Project Config: `box.json` → `lucee.json`
-
-CommandBox projects use `box.json` and `server.json`. LuCLI projects use `lucee.json`.
-
-**CommandBox (`box.json` + `server.json`):**
-```json
-// box.json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "dependencies": {
-    "wheels": "^3.0.0"
-  }
-}
-// server.json
-{
-  "app": { "cfengine": "lucee@5" },
-  "web": {
-    "http": { "port": 8080 },
-    "webroot": "public/"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**LuCLI (`lucee.json`):**
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "version": "7.0.2.101",
-  "port": 8080,
-  "webroot": "./public",
-  "openBrowser": true,
-  "jvm": {
-    "maxMemory": "512m",
-    "minMemory": "128m"
-  },
-  "urlRewrite": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "routerFile": "index.cfm"
-  },
-  "configuration": {
-    "datasources": {},
-    "mappings": {
-      "/wheels": "../vendor/wheels",
-      "/app": "../app",
-      "/config": "../config",
-      "/tests": "../tests"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Key differences:**
-- Server config and app config merged into one file
-- Lucee mappings defined directly (no need for `Application.cfc` mappings)
-- JVM settings configured in `lucee.json` instead of CommandBox's admin
-- URL rewriting configured declaratively
-
-### Converting an Existing Project
-
-To add LuCLI support to an existing CommandBox project:
-
-1. **Create `lucee.json`** in your project root (alongside `box.json`):
-
-```bash
-# LuCLI creates this automatically for new projects, but for existing ones:
-cat > lucee.json << 'EOF'
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "port": 8080,
-  "webroot": "./public",
-  "openBrowser": true,
-  "urlRewrite": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "routerFile": "index.cfm"
-  },
-  "configuration": {
-    "mappings": {
-      "/wheels": "../vendor/wheels",
-      "/app": "../app",
-      "/config": "../config",
-      "/tests": "../tests"
-    }
-  }
-}
-EOF
-```
-
-2. **Copy your port** from `server.json` into `lucee.json`
-
-3. **Copy datasource mappings** if you defined them in CommandBox's admin — put them in `lucee.json`'s `configuration.datasources`
-
-4. **Keep `box.json`** — both CLIs can coexist. Team members using CommandBox won't be affected.
-
-## What Still Requires CommandBox
-
-Some features are CommandBox-only (LuCLI equivalents are planned for future releases):
-
-| Feature | CommandBox Command | LuCLI Status |
-|---------|-------------------|-------------|
-| ForgeBox packages | `box install <package>` | Not available — use Lucee modules |
-| Interactive console/REPL | `box repl` | `wheels console` (HTTP-backed, requires running server) |
-| Plugin management | `wheels plugins install` | Planned |
-| Environment switching | `wheels env switch production` | Planned |
-| Security scanning | `wheels security scan` | Planned |
-| Database shell | `wheels db shell` | Not planned |
-| Database backup/restore | `wheels db dump` / `wheels db restore` | Not planned |
-| Asset precompilation | `wheels assets precompile` | Not planned |
-| Deployment commands | `wheels deploy *` | Not planned |
-| Cache/log management | `wheels cache clear` / `wheels log tail` | Not planned |
-| Docker integration | `wheels docker *` | Not planned |
-| Configuration management | `wheels config *` | Not planned |
-| Maintenance mode | `wheels maintenance *` | Not planned |
-| Job worker daemon | `wheels jobs work` | Not planned |
-
-**Recommendation**: Keep CommandBox installed alongside LuCLI for these features. Use LuCLI for your daily development loop (generate → migrate → test → reload) and CommandBox for specialized operations.
-
-## Side-by-Side Usage
-
-Both CLIs can coexist in the same project. A typical setup:
-
-```bash
-# Daily development — LuCLI (fast startup, MCP support)
-wheels new myapp          # Scaffold
-wheels generate model User name email
-wheels migrate latest
-wheels test
-wheels start              # Dev server
-
-# Specialized tasks — CommandBox
-box install cbsecurity    # ForgeBox packages
-wheels db shell           # Database access
-wheels deploy push        # Deployment
-wheels security scan      # Security audit
-```
-
-Both CLIs read from the same `app/`, `config/`, and `tests/` directories. Generated code is identical because they share templates.
-
-## Workflow Comparison
-
-### CommandBox Workflow (before)
-```bash
-brew install commandbox
-box install wheels-cli
-wheels new myapp
-cd myapp
-box server start          # Starts embedded Lucee/Adobe server
-wheels generate scaffold Post title body:text
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-wheels test run
-```
-
-### LuCLI Workflow (after)
-```bash
-brew install lucli
-lucli modules install wheels
-wheels new myapp
-cd myapp
-wheels start              # Starts embedded Lucee server
-wheels generate scaffold Post title body:text
-wheels migrate latest
-wheels test
-```
-
-The daily workflow is nearly identical. The differences are:
-1. **Install**: `commandbox` + `wheels-cli` → `lucli` + `wheels` module
-2. **Server**: `box server start` → `wheels start`
-3. **Migrations**: `wheels dbmigrate` → `wheels migrate`
-4. **Tests**: `wheels test run` → `wheels test`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "wheels: command not found"
-
-The Wheels module isn't installed:
-```bash
-lucli modules install wheels
-```
-
-### Server won't start
-
-Check that `lucee.json` exists and has a valid `webroot`:
-```bash
-wheels info    # Shows project detection status
-cat lucee.json # Verify config
-```
-
-### Migrations fail
-
-LuCLI migrations require a running server (they work via HTTP):
-```bash
-wheels start   # Start server first
-wheels migrate latest
-```
-
-### Templates not found
-
-LuCLI reads templates from `vendor/wheels/cli/src/templates/`. Ensure Wheels is vendored:
-```bash
-ls vendor/wheels/cli/src/templates/
-```
-
-### CommandBox commands fail after installing LuCLI
-
-They should work independently. If the `wheels` command resolves to LuCLI instead of CommandBox, use the explicit prefix:
-```bash
-box wheels dbmigrate latest    # Force CommandBox
-lucli wheels migrate latest    # Force LuCLI
-```

-# Database Migration Guide
-
-Learn how to manage database schema changes effectively using Wheels CLI migrations.
-
-## Overview
-
-Database migrations provide version control for your database schema. They allow you to:
-- Track schema changes over time
-- Share database changes with your team
-- Deploy schema updates safely
-- Roll back changes if needed
-- Keep database and code in sync
-
-## Migration Basics
-
-### What is a Migration?
-
-A migration is a CFC file that describes a database change. Each migration has:
-- A timestamp-based version number
-- An `up()` method to apply changes
-- An optional `down()` method to reverse changes
-
-### Migration Files
-
-Migrations are stored in `/app/migrator/migrations/` with this naming convention:
-```
-[YYYYMMDDHHmmss]_[description].cfc
-```
-
-Example:

-## Creating Migrations
-
-### Generate Migration Commands
-
-```bash
-# Create blank migration
-wheels dbmigrate create blank add_status_to_orders
-
-# Create table migration
-wheels dbmigrate create table products
-
-# Add column migration
-wheels dbmigrate create column users email
-```
-
-### Migration Structure
-
-Basic migration template:
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            // Apply changes
-        }
-    }
-    
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            // Reverse changes
-        }
-    }
-    
-}
-```
-
-## Auto-Generating Migrations from Models
-
-When you're evolving a model — adding properties, renaming columns, changing types — you can let `wheels dbmigrate diff` generate the migration for you instead of writing it by hand. It compares your model's property definitions against the live database schema and emits the appropriate `addColumn`, `removeColumn`, `changeColumn`, and `renameColumn` calls.
-
-### Basic Workflow
-
-1. Edit your model (add/rename properties, change types).
-2. Run `wheels dbmigrate diff ModelName` to preview the migration.
-3. If the preview looks right, run with `--write` to commit the CFC.
-4. Run `wheels dbmigrate latest` to apply.
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate diff User              # preview
-wheels dbmigrate diff User --write      # write migration file
-wheels dbmigrate latest                 # apply
-```
-
-### Rename Detection
-
-The diff engine detects column renames in two ways:
-
-**Explicit hints** — tell it which old column maps to which new column:
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate diff User --rename=full_name:fullName
-```
-
-**Heuristic suggestions** — the engine analyzes unclaimed removes and adds, scoring them by normalized-token match + Levenshtein edit distance. Unambiguous exact matches (e.g., `full_name` ↔ `fullName`) auto-confirm. Lower-confidence or ambiguous candidates are emitted as suggestions that require `--rename` to commit.
-
-Example output:
-
-```
-Suggested renames (pass --rename to confirm)
-  email_addr -> emailAddress    [string]  confidence: 0.75
-    wheels dbmigrate diff User --rename=email_addr:emailAddress
-```
-
-### Ambiguity
-
-When multiple renames are plausible, the engine flags them as `AMBIGUOUS` and never auto-confirms:
-
-```
-Suggested renames (pass --rename to confirm)
-  full_name -> fullName       [string]  confidence: 1.00 [AMBIGUOUS]
-  full_name -> displayName    [string]  confidence: 0.73 [AMBIGUOUS]
-```
-
-Resolve by specifying the intended pair explicitly.
-
-### All-Models Mode
-
-Omit the model name to diff every model:
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate diff                            # preview all changes
-wheels dbmigrate diff --write                    # one migration per changed model
-wheels dbmigrate diff --rename=User.full_name:fullName    # scoped hint
-```
-
-### Tuning the Heuristic
-
-The default threshold is `0.7`. Lower it to see more speculative suggestions; raise it for stricter matching:
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate diff User --threshold=0.85    # strict: only close matches suggested
-wheels dbmigrate diff User --threshold=0.5     # permissive: more suggestions
-```
-
-### Limitations
-
-- Primary key renames are not detected (PKs are excluded from the input).
-- Rename + type change in a single step is refused. Rename first, then change the type in a separate migration.
-- Calculated properties (`property(sql="...")`) are excluded from the diff entirely.
-- Detection is name-based; the engine does not compare row data.
-
-## Table Operations
-
-### Creating Tables
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        t = createTable("products");
-        
-        // Primary key (auto-created as 'id' by default)
-        t.primaryKey("productId"); // Custom primary key
-        
-        // Column types
-        t.string(columnNames="name", limit=100);
-        t.text(columnNames="description");
-        t.text(columnNames="content", size="mediumtext"); // MySQL only: mediumtext (16MB)
-        t.text(columnNames="longDescription", size="longtext"); // MySQL only: longtext (4GB)
-        t.integer(columnNames="quantity");
-        t.bigInteger(columnNames="views");
-        t.float(columnNames="weight");
-        t.decimal(columnNames="price", precision=10, scale=2);
-        t.boolean(columnNames="active", default=true);
-        t.date(columnNames="releaseDate");
-        t.datetime(columnNames="publishedAt");
-        t.timestamp(columnNames="lastModified");
-        t.time(columnNames="openingTime");
-        t.binary(columnNames="data");
-        t.uniqueidentifier(columnNames="uniqueId");
-        
-        // Special columns
-        t.timestamps(); // Creates createdAt and updatedAt
-        t.references(referenceNames="user"); // Creates userId foreign key
-        
-        // Create the table
-        t.create();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Table Options
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        t = createTable("products", 
-            id=false, // Don't create auto-increment id
-            force=true, // Drop if exists
-            options="ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4"
-        );
-        
-        // Composite primary key
-        t.primaryKey(["orderId", "productId"]);
-        
-        t.create();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Dropping Tables
-
-```cfc
-function down() {

-        
-        // Or by column
-        removeIndex(table="products", column="sku");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Foreign Keys
-
-### Adding Foreign Keys
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Simple foreign key
-        addForeignKey(
-            table="orders",
-            column="userId",
-            referenceTable="users",
-            referenceColumn="id"
-        );
-        
-        // With options

-            column="orderId",
-            referenceTable="orders",
-            referenceColumn="id",
-            onDelete="CASCADE",
-            onUpdate="CASCADE"
-        );
-        
-        // In table creation
-        t = createTable("posts");
-        t.references(referenceNames="user", onDelete="SET NULL");
-        t.references(referenceNames="category", foreignKey=true);
-        t.create();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Removing Foreign Keys
-
-```cfc
-function down() {
-    transaction {
-        removeForeignKey(
-            table="orders",
-            name="fk_orders_users"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Data Migrations
-
-### Inserting Data
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Single record
-        sql("
-            INSERT INTO roles (name, description, createdAt) 
-            VALUES ('admin', 'Administrator', NOW())
-        ");
-        
-        // Multiple records
-        addRecord(table="permissions", name="users.create");
-        addRecord(table="permissions", name="users.read");
-        addRecord(table="permissions", name="users.update");
-        addRecord(table="permissions", name="users.delete");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Updating Data
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        updateRecord(
-            table="products",
-            where="status IS NULL",
-            values={status: "active"}
-        );
-        
-        // Complex updates
-        sql("
-            UPDATE users 
-            SET fullName = CONCAT(firstName, ' ', lastName)
-            WHERE fullName IS NULL
-        ");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Removing Data
-
-```cfc
-function down() {
-    transaction {
-        removeRecord(
-            table="roles",
-            where="name = 'temp_role'"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Advanced Migrations
-
-### Conditional Migrations
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Check if column exists
-        if (!hasColumn("users", "avatar")) {
-            addColumn(table="users", column="avatar", type="string");
-        }
-        
-        // Check if table exists
-        if (!hasTable("analytics")) {
-            t = createTable("analytics");
-            t.integer("views");
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-        }
-        
-        // Database-specific
-        if (getDatabaseType() == "mysql") {
-            sql("ALTER TABLE users ENGINE=InnoDB");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Using Raw SQL
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Complex operations
-        sql("
-            CREATE VIEW active_products AS
-            SELECT * FROM products
-            WHERE active = 1 AND deletedAt IS NULL
-        ");
-        
-        // Stored procedures
-        sql("
-            CREATE PROCEDURE CleanupOldData()
-            BEGIN
-                DELETE FROM logs WHERE createdAt < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 90 DAY);
-            END
-        ");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Environment-Specific
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Always run
-        addColumn(table="users", column="lastLoginAt", type="datetime");
-        
-        // Development only
-        if (getEnvironment() == "development") {
-            // Add test data
-            for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
-                addRecord(
-                    table="users",
-                    email="test#i#@example.com",
-                    password="hashed_password"
-                );
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Running Migrations
-
-### Basic Commands
-
-```bash
-# Check migration status
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Run all pending migrations
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-
-# Run next migration only
-wheels dbmigrate up
-
-# Rollback last migration
-wheels dbmigrate down
-
-# Run specific version
-wheels dbmigrate exec 20240125143022
-
-# Reset all migrations
-wheels dbmigrate reset
-```
-
-### Migration Workflow
-
-1. **Create migration**
-   ```bash
-   wheels dbmigrate create table orders
-   ```
-
-2. **Edit migration file**
-   ```cfc
-   // Edit /app/migrator/migrations/[timestamp]_create_orders_table.cfc
-   ```
-
-3. **Test migration**
-   ```bash
-   # Run migration
-   wheels dbmigrate latest
-   
-   # Verify
-   wheels dbmigrate info
-   
-   # Test rollback
-   wheels dbmigrate down
-   ```
-
-4. **Commit and share**
-   ```bash
-   git add db/migrate/
-   git commit -m "Add orders table migration"
-   ```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Always Use Transactions
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // All operations in transaction
-        // Rollback on any error
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Make Migrations Reversible
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        addColumn(table="users", column="nickname", type="string");
-    }
-}
-
-function down() {
-    transaction {
-        removeColumn(table="users", column="nickname");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. One Change Per Migration
-
-```bash
-# Good: Separate migrations
-wheels dbmigrate create blank add_status_to_orders
-wheels dbmigrate create blank add_priority_to_orders
-
-# Bad: Multiple unrelated changes
-wheels dbmigrate create blank update_orders_and_users
-```
-
-### 4. Test Migrations Thoroughly
-
-```bash
-# Test up
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-
-# Test down
-wheels dbmigrate down
-
-# Test up again
-wheels dbmigrate up
-```
-
-### 5. Never Modify Completed Migrations
-
-```bash
-# Bad: Editing existing migration
-# Good: Create new migration to fix issues
-wheels dbmigrate create blank fix_orders_status_column
-```
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Adding Non-Nullable Column
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Add nullable first
-        addColumn(table="users", column="role", type="string", allowNull=true);
-        
-        // Set default values
-        updateRecord(table="users", where="1=1", values={role: "member"});
-        
-        // Make non-nullable
-        changeColumn(table="users", column="role", allowNull=false);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Renaming Table with Foreign Keys
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Drop foreign keys first
-        removeForeignKey(table="posts", name="fk_posts_users");
-        
-        // Rename table
-        renameTable(oldName="posts", newName="articles");
-        
-        // Recreate foreign keys
-        addForeignKey(
-            table="articles",
-            column="userId",
-            referenceTable="users",
-            referenceColumn="id"
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Safe Column Removal
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // First migration: deprecate column
-        if (getEnvironment() != "production") {
-            announce("Column 'users.oldField' is deprecated and will be removed");
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-// Later migration (after code deployment)
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        removeColumn(table="users", column="oldField");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Migration Failed
-
-```bash
-# Check error
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Fix migration file
-# Retry
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-### Stuck Migration
-
-```sql
--- Manually fix schema_migrations table
-DELETE FROM schema_migrations WHERE version = '20240125143022';
-```
-
-### Performance Issues
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    // Increase timeout for large tables
-    setting requestTimeout="300";
-    
-    transaction {
-        // Add index without locking (MySQL)
-        sql("ALTER TABLE large_table ADD INDEX idx_column (column)");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Integration with CI/CD
-
-### Pre-deployment Check
-
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-# Check for pending migrations
-if wheels dbmigrate info | grep -q "pending"; then
-    echo "Pending migrations detected!"
-    wheels dbmigrate info
-    exit 1
-fi
-```
-
-### Automated Deployment
-
-```yaml
-# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
-- name: Run migrations
-  run: |
-    wheels dbmigrate latest
-    wheels dbmigrate info
-```

-# Service Architecture Guide
-
-Understanding the Wheels CLI service layer architecture.
-
-## Overview
-
-The Wheels CLI uses a service-oriented architecture that separates concerns and provides reusable functionality across commands. This architecture makes the CLI more maintainable, testable, and extensible.
-
-## Architecture Diagram
-
-```
-┌─────────────────┐
-│    Commands     │  ← User interacts with
-├─────────────────┤
-│    Services     │  ← Business logic
-├─────────────────┤
-│     Models      │  ← Data and utilities
-├─────────────────┤
-│   Templates     │  ← Code generation
-└─────────────────┘

-
-## Core Components
-
-### 1. Commands (`/commands/wheels/`)
-
-Commands are the user-facing interface:
-
-```cfc
-// commands/wheels/generate/model.cfc
-component extends="wheels-cli.models.BaseCommand" {
-    
-    property name="codeGenerationService" inject="CodeGenerationService@wheels-cli";
-    property name="migrationService" inject="MigrationService@wheels-cli";
-    
-    function run(
-        required string name,
-        boolean migration = true,
-        string properties = "",
-        boolean force = false
-    ) {
-        // Delegate to services
-        var result = codeGenerationService.generateModel(argumentCollection=arguments);
-        
-        if (arguments.migration) {
-            migrationService.createTableMigration(arguments.name, arguments.properties);
-        }
-        
-        print.greenLine("✓ Model generated successfully");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Services (`/models/`)
-
-Services contain reusable business logic:
-
-```cfc
-// models/CodeGenerationService.cfc
-component accessors="true" singleton {
-    
-    property name="templateService" inject="TemplateService@wheels-cli";
-    property name="fileService" inject="FileService@wheels-cli";
-    
-    function generateModel(
-        required string name,
-        string properties = "",
-        struct associations = {},
-        boolean force = false
-    ) {
-        var modelName = helpers.capitalize(arguments.name);
-        var template = templateService.getTemplate("model");
-        var content = templateService.populateTemplate(template, {
-            modelName: modelName,
-            properties: parseProperties(arguments.properties),
-            associations: arguments.associations
-        });
-        
-        return fileService.writeFile(
-            path = "/models/#modelName#.cfc",
-            content = content,
-            force = arguments.force
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Base Classes
-
-#### BaseCommand (`/models/BaseCommand.cfc`)
-
-All commands extend from BaseCommand:
-
-```cfc
-component extends="commandbox.system.BaseCommand" {
-    
-    property name="print" inject="print";
-    property name="fileSystemUtil" inject="FileSystem";
-    
-    function init() {
-        // Common initialization
-        return this;
-    }
-    
-    // Common helper methods
-    function ensureDirectoryExists(required string path) {
-        if (!directoryExists(arguments.path)) {
-            directoryCreate(arguments.path, true);
-        }
-    }
-    
-    function resolvePath(required string path) {
-        return fileSystemUtil.resolvePath(arguments.path);
-    }
-}
-```
-

-## Dependency Injection
-
-Services use WireBox for dependency injection:
-
-```cfc
-// In ModuleConfig.cfc
-function configure() {
-    // Service mappings
-    binder.map("TemplateService@wheels-cli")
-        .to("wheels.cli.models.TemplateService")
-        .asSingleton();
-    
-    binder.map("MigrationService@wheels-cli")
-        .to("wheels.cli.models.MigrationService")
-        .asSingleton();
-}
-```
-
-## Creating a New Service
-
-### 1. Create Service Component
-
-```cfc
-// models/MyNewService.cfc
-component accessors="true" singleton {
-    
-    // Inject dependencies
-    property name="fileService" inject="FileService@wheels-cli";
-    property name="print" inject="print";
-    
-    function init() {
-        return this;
-    }
-    
-    function doSomething(required string input) {
-        // Service logic here
-        return processInput(arguments.input);
-    }
-    
-    private function processInput(required string input) {
-        // Private helper methods
-        return arguments.input.trim();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Register Service
-
-In `/ModuleConfig.cfc`:
-
-```cfc
-binder.map("MyNewService@wheels-cli")
-    .to("wheels.cli.models.MyNewService")
-    .asSingleton();
-```
-
-### 3. Use in Commands
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels-cli.models.BaseCommand" {
-    
-    property name="myNewService" inject="MyNewService@wheels-cli";
-    
-    function run(required string input) {
-        var result = myNewService.doSomething(arguments.input);
-        print.line(result);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Service Patterns
-
-### 1. Singleton Pattern
-
-Most services are singletons:
-
-```cfc
-component singleton {
-    // Shared instance across commands
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Factory Pattern
-
-For creating multiple instances:
-
-```cfc
-component {
-    function createGenerator(required string type) {
-        switch(arguments.type) {
-            case "model":
-                return new ModelGenerator();
-            case "controller":
-                return new ControllerGenerator();
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Strategy Pattern
-
-For different implementations:
-
-```cfc
-component {
-    function setStrategy(required component strategy) {
-        variables.strategy = arguments.strategy;
-    }
-    
-    function execute() {
-        return variables.strategy.execute();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Testing Services
-
-### Unit Testing Services
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-    
-    function beforeAll() {
-        // Create service instance
-        variables.templateService = createMock("wheels.cli.models.TemplateService");
-    }
-    
-    function run() {
-        describe("TemplateService", function() {
-            
-            it("loads templates correctly", function() {
-                var template = templateService.getTemplate("model");
-                expect(template).toBeString();
-                expect(template).toInclude("component extends=""Model""");
-            });
-            
-            it("substitutes variables", function() {
-                var result = templateService.populateTemplate(
-                    "Hello {{name}}",
-                    {name: "World"}
-                );
-                expect(result).toBe("Hello World");
-            });
-            
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Mocking Dependencies
-
-```cfc
-function beforeAll() {
-    // Create mock
-    mockFileService = createEmptyMock("FileService");
-    
-    // Define behavior
-    mockFileService.$("writeFile").$results(true);
-    
-    // Inject mock
-    templateService.$property(
-        propertyName = "fileService",
-        mock = mockFileService
-    );
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Single Responsibility
-
-Each service should have one clear purpose:
-
-```cfc
-// Good: Focused service
-component name="ValidationService" {
-    function validateModel() {}
-    function validateController() {}
-}
-
-// Bad: Mixed responsibilities
-component name="UtilityService" {
-    function validateModel() {}
-    function sendEmail() {}
-    function generatePDF() {}
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Dependency Injection
-
-Always inject dependencies:
-
-```cfc
-// Good: Injected dependency
-property name="fileService" inject="FileService@wheels-cli";
-
-// Bad: Direct instantiation
-variables.fileService = new FileService();
-```
-
-### 3. Error Handling
-
-Services should handle errors gracefully:
-
-```cfc
-function generateFile(required string path) {
-    try {
-        // Attempt operation
-        fileWrite(arguments.path, content);
-        return {success: true};
-    } catch (any e) {
-        // Log error
-        logError(e);
-        // Return error info
-        return {
-            success: false,
-            error: e.message
-        };
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Configuration
-
-Services should be configurable:
-
-```cfc
-component {
-    property name="settings" inject="coldbox:modulesettings:wheels-cli";
-    
-    function getTimeout() {
-        return variables.settings.timeout ?: 30;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Service Communication
-
-### Event-Driven
-
-Services can emit events:
-
-```cfc
-// In service
-announce("wheels-cli:modelGenerated", {model: modelName});
-
-// In listener
-function onModelGenerated(event, data) {
-    // React to event
-}
-```
-
-### Direct Communication
-
-Services can call each other:
-
-```cfc
-component {
-    property name="validationService" inject="ValidationService@wheels-cli";
-    
-    function generateModel() {
-        // Validate first
-        if (!validationService.isValidModelName(name)) {
-            throw("Invalid model name");
-        }
-        // Continue generation
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Extending Services
-
-### Creating Service Plugins
-
-```cfc
-// models/plugins/MyServicePlugin.cfc
-component implements="IServicePlugin" {
-    
-    function enhance(required component service) {
-        // Add new method
-        arguments.service.myNewMethod = function() {
-            return "Enhanced!";
-        };
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Service Decorators
-
-```cfc
-component extends="BaseService" {
-    
-    property name="decoratedService";
-    
-    function init(required component service) {
-        variables.decoratedService = arguments.service;
-        return this;
-    }
-    
-    function doSomething() {
-        // Add behavior
-        log("Calling doSomething");
-        // Delegate
-        return variables.decoratedService.doSomething();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### 1. Lazy Loading
-
-Load services only when needed:
-
-```cfc
-function getTemplateService() {
-    if (!structKeyExists(variables, "templateService")) {
-        variables.templateService = getInstance("TemplateService@wheels-cli");
-    }
-    return variables.templateService;
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Caching
-
-Cache expensive operations:
-
-```cfc
-component {
-    property name="cache" default={};
-    
-    function getTemplate(required string name) {
-        if (!structKeyExists(variables.cache, arguments.name)) {
-            variables.cache[arguments.name] = loadTemplate(arguments.name);
-        }
-        return variables.cache[arguments.name];
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Async Operations
-
-Use async for long-running tasks:
-
-```cfc
-function analyzeLargeCodebase() {
-    thread name="analysis-#createUUID()#" {
-        // Long running analysis
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Debugging Services
-
-### Enable Debug Logging
-
-```cfc
-component {
-    property name="log" inject="logbox:logger:{this}";
-    
-    function doSomething() {
-        log.debug("Starting doSomething with args: #serializeJSON(arguments)#");
-        // ... logic ...
-        log.debug("Completed doSomething");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Service Inspection
-
-```bash
-# In CommandBox REPL
-repl> getInstance("TemplateService@wheels-cli")
-repl> getMetadata(getInstance("TemplateService@wheels-cli"))
-```
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-Planned service architecture improvements:
-
-1. **Service Mesh**: Inter-service communication layer
-2. **Service Discovery**: Dynamic service registration
-3. **Circuit Breakers**: Fault tolerance patterns
-4. **Service Metrics**: Performance monitoring
-5. **API Gateway**: Unified service access

-title: Template System
----
-# Template System
-
-The Wheels CLI uses a powerful template system for code generation that allows you to customize the output to match your project's coding standards and conventions.
-
-## Overview
-
-The template system enables:
-- **Consistent Code Generation** - All generated code follows the same patterns
-- **Project Customization** - Override templates to match your project's needs
-- **Markup Control** - Customize HTML, CSS frameworks, and JavaScript patterns
-- **Convention Enforcement** - Ensure generated code follows your team's standards
-
-## How It Works
-
-### Template Resolution
-
-When the CLI generates code, it looks for templates in this order:
-
-1. **Application Templates** (`/app/snippets/`)
-   - Project-specific templates that override defaults
-   - Allows per-project customization
-   
-2. **CLI Templates** (`/cli/templates/`)
-   - Default templates shipped with the CLI
-   - Fallback when no app template exists
-
-This hierarchy ensures that your customizations always take precedence over the defaults.
-
-### Template Processing
-
-Templates are processed through these steps:
-
-1. **Template Loading** - The appropriate template file is loaded
-2. **Placeholder Replacement** - Variables and placeholders are replaced with actual values
-3. **Code Generation** - The processed content is written to the destination file
-
-## Template Override System
-
-### Purpose
-
-The template override system allows you to:
-- Customize generated markup to match your CSS framework (Bootstrap, Tailwind, etc.)
-- Add project-specific code patterns and conventions
-- Include custom comments, documentation, or boilerplate
-- Modify the structure of generated files
-
-### Creating Custom Templates
-
-To override a CLI template:
-
-1. **Identify the template** you want to customize
-   ```bash
-   # View available templates
-   ls /path/to/wheels/cli/templates/
-   ```
-
-2. **Create the directory structure** in your app
-   ```bash
-   mkdir -p app/snippets/crud
-   ```
-
-3. **Copy the template** to your app
-   ```bash
-   cp /path/to/wheels/cli/templates/crud/_form.txt app/snippets/crud/
-   ```
-
-4. **Modify the template** to match your needs
-   ```bash
-   # Edit with your preferred editor
-   code app/snippets/crud/_form.txt
-   ```
-
-### Example: Customizing Form Templates
-
-Default form template (`/cli/templates/crud/_form.txt`):
-```cfm
-<!--- |ObjectNameSingularC| Form Contents --->
-<cfoutput>
-|FormFields|
-<!--- CLI-Appends-Here --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-Custom Bootstrap 5 template (`/app/snippets/crud/_form.txt`):
-```cfm
-<!--- |ObjectNameSingularC| Form --->
-<cfoutput>
-<div class="card">
-    <div class="card-body">
-        #errorMessagesFor("|ObjectNameSingular|")#
-        
-        <div class="form-fields">
-            |FormFields|
-        </div>
-        
-        <div class="form-actions mt-3">
-            #submitTag(value="Save", class="btn btn-primary")#
-            #linkTo(text="Cancel", action="index", class="btn btn-secondary")#
-        </div>
-    </div>
-</div>
-<!--- CLI-Appends-Here --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Available Templates
-
-### Model Templates
-- `ModelContent.txt` - Base model structure
-- `dbmigrate/*.txt` - Migration templates
-
-### Controller Templates  
-- `ControllerContent.txt` - Base controller structure
-- `ApiControllerContent.txt` - API controller structure
-
-### View Templates
-- `ViewContent.txt` - Generic view template
-- `crud/index.txt` - List/index view
-- `crud/show.txt` - Show single record
-- `crud/new.txt` - New record form
-- `crud/edit.txt` - Edit record form
-- `crud/_form.txt` - Form partial
-
-### Test Templates
-- `tests/model.txt` - Model test structure
-- `tests/controller.txt` - Controller test structure
-- `tests/view.txt` - View test structure
-
-### Configuration Templates
-- `ConfigAppContent.txt` - Application configuration
-- `ConfigRoutes.txt` - Routes configuration
-- `ConfigDataSourceH2Content.txt` - H2 database configuration
-
-## Template Variables
-
-### Object Name Variables
-- `|ObjectNameSingular|` - Lowercase singular (e.g., "product")
-- `|ObjectNamePlural|` - Lowercase plural (e.g., "products")
-- `|ObjectNameSingularC|` - Capitalized singular (e.g., "Product")
-- `|ObjectNamePluralC|` - Capitalized plural (e.g., "Products")
-
-### Dynamic Content Variables
-- `|FormFields|` - Generated form fields based on properties
-- `|Actions|` - Generated controller actions
-- `{{belongsTo}}` - Belongs-to relationship code
-- `{{hasMany}}` - Has-many relationship code
-- `{{validations}}` - Model validation code
-
-### Marker Comments
-- `<!--- CLI-Appends-Here --->` - Marker for future CLI additions
-- `<!--- CLI-Appends-thead-Here --->` - Table header additions
-- `<!--- CLI-Appends-tbody-Here --->` - Table body additions
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Version Control Templates
-Always commit your custom templates to version control:
-```bash
-git add app/snippets/
-git commit -m "Add custom templates for Bootstrap 5"
-```
-
-### 2. Document Customizations
-Add comments explaining your customizations:
-```cfm
-<!--- 
-    Custom template for Bootstrap 5 forms
-    - Uses card layout
-    - Includes form validation styles
-    - Adds cancel button
---->
-```
-
-### 3. Maintain Placeholders
-Keep important placeholders and markers:
-- Always include `<!--- CLI-Appends-Here --->` for future additions
-- Preserve variable placeholders you might need later
-
-### 4. Test Generated Code
-After customizing templates:
-```bash
-# Generate a test scaffold
-wheels scaffold test properties=name:string
-
-# Verify the output matches expectations
-# Delete test files when done
-```
-
-### 5. Share Team Templates
-Create a shared template repository for team consistency:
-```bash
-# Create template package
-cd app/snippets
-tar -czf project-templates.tar.gz *
-
-# Share with team
-```
-
-## Advanced Customization
-
-### Conditional Generation
-Use CFML logic in templates:
-```cfm
-<cfif arrayLen(properties) GT 5>
-    <!--- Use compact layout for many fields --->
-    <div class="row">
-        |FormFields|
-    </div>
-<cfelse>
-    <!--- Standard layout --->
-    |FormFields|
-</cfif>
-```
-
-### Custom Placeholders
-Add your own placeholders in templates:
-```cfm
-<!--- |ProjectName| - |GeneratedDate| --->
-<!--- Version: |Version| --->
-```
-
-Then handle them in your custom generator commands.
-
-### Framework-Specific Templates
-
-Create template sets for different CSS frameworks:
-```
-app/snippets/
-├── bootstrap5/
-│   └── crud/
-│       ├── _form.txt
-│       └── index.txt
-├── tailwind/
-│   └── crud/
-│       ├── _form.txt
-│       └── index.txt
-└── crud/  # Current active templates
-    ├── _form.txt
-    └── index.txt
-```
-
-Switch between them by copying to the active directory.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Templates Not Being Used
-1. Check file paths - ensure templates are in `/app/snippets/`
-2. Verify file names match exactly (case-sensitive)
-3. Reload CommandBox if changes aren't picked up: `box reload`
-
-### Generated Code Has Errors
-1. Check for syntax errors in your template
-2. Ensure all placeholders are properly closed
-3. Test with a simple template first
-
-### Placeholders Not Replaced
-1. Verify placeholder syntax is exact
-2. Check that the data is being passed to the template
-3. Some placeholders only work in specific template types

-### Test File Naming
-
-Follow these conventions:
-- Model tests: `UserTest.cfc` or `UserSpec.cfc`
-- Controller tests: `UsersControllerTest.cfc`
-- Integration tests: `UserFlowTest.cfc`
-
-## Writing Tests
-
-### Basic Test Structure
-
-```cfc
-// tests/unit/models/UserTest.cfc
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-
-    function run() {
-        describe("User Model", function() {
-
-            beforeEach(function() {
-                // Setup before each test
-                variables.user = model("User").new();
-            });
-
-            afterEach(function() {
-                // Cleanup after each test
-            });
-
-            it("validates email presence", function() {
-                variables.user.email = "";
-                expect(variables.user.valid()).toBeFalse();
-                expect(variables.user.errors).toHaveKey("email");
-            });
-
-            it("validates email format", function() {
-                variables.user.email = "invalid-email";
-                expect(variables.user.valid()).toBeFalse();
-                expect(variables.user.errors.email).toInclude("valid email");
-            });
-
-        });
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-### Model Testing
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-
-    function run() {
-        describe("Product Model", function() {
-
-            describe("Validations", function() {

-### Test Data Management
-
-```cfc
-// tests/helpers/TestDatabase.cfc
-component {
-
-    function setUp() {
-        // Start transaction
-        transaction action="begin";

-### Basic Commands
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-wheels test run
-
-# Run specific test file
-wheels test run tests/unit/models/UserTest.cfc
-
-# Run tests in directory
-wheels test run tests/unit/models/
-
-# Run with specific reporter

-wheels test run --bundles=models,controllers
-
-# Run by labels
-wheels test run --labels=critical
-
-# Run by test name pattern
-wheels test run --filter="user"
-
-# Exclude patterns
-wheels test run --excludes="slow,integration"
-```
-
-## Code Coverage
-
-### Generate Coverage Report
-
-```bash
-# Generate HTML coverage report
-wheels test coverage
-
-# With custom output directory
-wheels test coverage --outputDir=coverage-reports
-
-# Include only specific paths
-wheels test coverage --includes="models/,controllers/"
-```
-
-### Coverage Configuration
-
-In `tests/Application.cfc`:
-
-```cfc
-this.coverage = {
-    enabled: true,
-    includes: ["models", "controllers"],
-    excludes: ["tests", "wheels"],
-    outputDir: expandPath("/tests/coverage/"),
-    reportFormats: ["html", "json"]
-};
-```
-
-## Test Configuration
-
-### Test Suite Configuration
-
-```cfc
-// tests/Application.cfc
-component {
-
-    this.name = "WheelsTestSuite" & Hash(GetCurrentTemplatePath());
-
-    // Test datasource
-    this.datasources["test"] = {
-        url: "jdbc:h2:mem:test;MODE=MySQL",
-        driver: "org.h2.Driver"
-    };
-    this.datasource = "test";
-
-    // WheelsTest settings (preserves the Application.cfc `this.testbox` convention for back-compat)
-    this.testbox = {
-        bundles: ["tests"],
-        recurse: true,
-        reporter: "simple",
-        reportpath: "/tests/results",
-        runner: ["tests/runner.cfm"],
-        labels: [],
-        options: {}
-    };
-
-}
-```
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-```bash
-# Set test environment
-export WHEELS_ENV=testing
-
-# Set test datasource
-export WHEELS_TEST_DATASOURCE=myapp_test
-
-# Enable verbose output
-export TESTBOX_VERBOSE=true
-```
-
-## Testing Best Practices
-
-### 1. Test Organization
-
-```
-tests/
-├── unit/              # Fast, isolated tests
-│   ├── models/       # One file per model
-│   └── services/     # Service layer tests
-├── integration/      # Tests with dependencies
-└── e2e/             # End-to-end tests
-```
-
-### 2. Test Isolation
-
-```cfc
-describe("User Model", function() {
-
-    beforeEach(function() {
-        // Fresh instance for each test
-        variables.user = model("User").new();
-
-        // Clear caches
-        application.wheels.cache.queries = {};
-    });
-
-    afterEach(function() {
-        // Clean up test data
-        if (isDefined("variables.user.id")) {
-            variables.user.delete();
-        }
-    });
-
-});
-```
-
-### 3. Descriptive Tests
-
-```cfc
-// Good: Descriptive test names
-it("validates email format with standard RFC 5322 regex", function() {
-    // test implementation
-});
-
-it("prevents duplicate email addresses case-insensitively", function() {
-    // test implementation
-});
-
-// Bad: Vague test names
-it("works", function() {
-    // test implementation
-});
-```
-
-### 4. AAA Pattern
-
-```cfc
-it("calculates order total with tax", function() {
-    // Arrange
-    var order = createOrder();
-    var item1 = createOrderItem(price: 100, quantity: 2);
-    var item2 = createOrderItem(price: 50, quantity: 1);
-    order.addItem(item1);
-    order.addItem(item2);
-
-    // Act
-    var total = order.calculateTotal(taxRate: 0.08);
-
-    // Assert
-    expect(total).toBe(270); // (200 + 50) * 1.08
-});
-```
-
-## Continuous Integration
-
-### GitHub Actions
-
-```yaml
-name: Tests
-
-on: [push, pull_request]
-
-jobs:
-  test:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-
-    steps:
-    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
-
-    - name: Setup CommandBox
-      uses: Ortus-Solutions/setup-commandbox@v2.0.0
-
-    - name: Install dependencies
-      run: box install
-
-    - name: Run tests
-      run: |
-        box server start
-        wheels test run --reporter=junit --outputFile=test-results.xml
-
-    - name: Upload test results
-      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
-      with:
-        name: test-results
-        path: test-results.xml
-
-    - name: Generate coverage
-      run: wheels test coverage
-
-    - name: Upload coverage
-      uses: codecov/codecov-action@v1
-```
-
-### Pre-commit Hooks
-
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-# .git/hooks/pre-commit
-
-echo "Running tests..."
-wheels test run --labels=unit
-
-if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
-    echo "Tests failed! Commit aborted."
-    exit 1
-fi
-
-echo "Running linter..."
-wheels analyze code
-
-if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
-    echo "Code quality check failed!"
-    exit 1
-fi
-```
-
-## Debugging Tests
-
-### Using Debug Output
-
-```cfc
-it("processes data correctly", function() {
-    var result = processData(testData);
-
-    // Debug output
-    debug(result);
-    writeDump(var=result, abort=false);
-
-    // Conditional debugging
-    if (request.debug ?: false) {
-        writeOutput("Result: #serializeJSON(result)#");
-    }
-
-    expect(result.status).toBe("success");
-});
-```
-
-### Interactive Debugging
-
-```bash
-# Run specific test with debugging
-wheels test debug tests/unit/models/UserTest.cfc
-
-# Enable verbose mode
-wheels test run --verbose
-
-# Show SQL queries
-wheels test run --showSQL
-```
-
-## Performance Testing
-
-### Load Testing
-
-```cfc
-describe("Performance", function() {
-
-    it("handles 1000 concurrent users", function() {
-        var threads = [];
-
-        for (var i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) {
-            arrayAppend(threads, function() {
-                var result = model("Product").findAll();
-                return result.recordCount;
-            });
-        }
-
-        var start = getTickCount();
-        var results = parallel(threads);
-        var duration = getTickCount() - start;
-
-        expect(duration).toBeLT(5000); // Less than 5 seconds
-        expect(arrayLen(results)).toBe(1000);
-    });
-
-});
-```
-
-## Common Testing Patterns
-
-### Testing Private Methods
-
-```cfc
-it("tests private method", function() {
-    var user = model("User").new();
-
-    // Use makePublic() for testing
-    makePublic(user, "privateMethod");
-
-    var result = user.privateMethod();
-    expect(result).toBe("expected");
-});
-```
-
-### Mocking External Services
-
-```cfc
-it("sends email on user creation", function() {
-    // Mock email service
-    var mockMailer = createEmptyMock("services.Mailer");
-    mockMailer.$("send").$returns(true);
-
-    // Inject mock
-    var user = model("User").new();
-    user.$property("mailer", mockMailer);
-
-    // Test
-    user.save();
-
-    // Verify
-    expect(mockMailer.$times("send")).toBe(1);
-    expect(mockMailer.$callLog().send[1].to).toBe(user.email);
-});
-```
-
-## Docker-Based Testing
-
-Wheels provides a comprehensive Docker environment for testing across multiple CFML engines and databases.
-
-### Quick Start with Docker
-
-```bash
-# Start the TestUI and all test containers
-docker compose --profile all up -d
-
-# Access the TestUI
-open http://localhost:3000
-```
-
-### TestUI Features
-
-The modern TestUI provides:
-- **Visual Test Runner**: Run and monitor tests in real-time
-- **Container Management**: Start/stop containers directly from the UI
-- **Multi-Engine Support**: Test on Lucee 5/6 and Adobe ColdFusion 2018/2021/2023
-- **Multi-Database Support**: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, H2, and Oracle
-- **Pre-flight Checks**: Ensures all services are running before tests

-
-### Container Management
-
-The TestUI includes an API server that allows you to:
-1. Click on any stopped engine or database to start it
-2. Monitor container health and status
-3. View real-time logs
-4. No terminal required for basic operations
-
-### Docker Profiles
-
-Use profiles to start specific combinations:
-
-```bash
-# Just the UI
-docker compose --profile ui up -d
-
-# Quick test setup (Lucee 5 + MySQL)
-docker compose --profile quick-test up -d
-
-# All Lucee engines
-docker compose --profile lucee up -d
-
-# All Adobe engines
-docker compose --profile adobe up -d
-
-# All databases
-docker compose --profile db up -d
-```
-
-### Running Tests via Docker
-
-```bash
-# Using the CLI inside a container
-docker exec -it wheels-lucee5-1 wheels test run
-
-# Direct URL access
-curl http://localhost:60005/wheels/core/tests?format=json&db=mysql
-```
-
-### Database Testing
-
-Test against different databases by using the `db` parameter:
-
-```bash
-# MySQL
-wheels test run --db=mysql
-
-# PostgreSQL
-wheels test run --db=postgres
-
-# SQL Server
-wheels test run --db=sqlserver
-
-# H2 (Lucee only)
-wheels test run --db=h2
-
-# Oracle
-wheels test run --db=oracle
-```

-# Wheels CLI Documentation
-
-Welcome to the comprehensive documentation for the Wheels CLI - a powerful command-line interface for the Wheels framework.
-
-## What is Wheels CLI?
-
-Wheels CLI is the command-line tool for developing Wheels applications. In 4.0 it ships as a Homebrew / Chocolatey formula that bundles [LuCLI](https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI) — no CommandBox required. The same CLI also works as a CommandBox module for teams already invested in that toolchain. It offers:
-
-- **Code Generation** - Quickly scaffold models, controllers, views, and complete CRUD operations
-- **Database Migrations** - Manage database schema changes with version control
-- **Testing Tools** - Run tests, generate coverage reports, and use watch mode
-- **Development Tools** - File watching, automatic reloading, and development servers
-- **Code Analysis** - Security scanning, performance analysis, and code quality checks
-- **Plugin Management** - Install and manage Wheels plugins
-- **Environment Management** - Switch between development, testing, and production
-

-## Description
-
-The `analyze code` command performs comprehensive code quality analysis on your Wheels application. It automatically excludes framework files and focuses only on your application code.
-
-### What It Checks
-
-- **Code Complexity**: Cyclomatic complexity and function length metrics
-- **Code Style**: Line length, indentation, trailing spaces, tabs vs spaces
-- **Security Issues**: SQL injection risks, hardcoded credentials, evaluate() usage
-- **Performance**: N+1 queries, missing query caching, SELECT * usage
-- **Best Practices**: Variable scoping, output attributes, code organization
-- **Wheels Conventions**: Controller/Model naming, validations, filters
-- **Code Smells**: Long parameter lists, nested loops, TODO comments
-- **Duplicate Code**: Detection of similar code blocks (30+ lines by default)
-- **Deprecated Functions**: Outdated Wheels function usage
-
-### Grading System
-
-The analyzer assigns a health score (0-100) and letter grade (A-F) based on:
-- **A** (90-100): Excellent code quality
-- **B** (80-89): Good code quality with minor issues
-- **C** (70-79): Acceptable code quality, needs improvement
-- **D** (60-69): Poor code quality, significant refactoring needed
-- **F** (0-59): Critical issues, immediate attention required
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic code analysis
-Analyzes all code in the `app/` directory by default:
-```bash
-wheels analyze code
-```
-
-### Analyze specific directory
-```bash
-# Flag syntax (recommended)
-wheels analyze code --path=app/controllers
-
-# OR named
-wheels analyze code path=app/controllers
-```
-
-### Analyze specific file
-```bash
-# Flag syntax (recommended)
-wheels analyze code --path=app/models/User.cfc
-
-# OR named
-wheels analyze code path=app/models/User.cfc
-```
-
-### Auto-fix issues
-Automatically fixes issues like trailing spaces, tabs, and missing var scoping:
-```bash
-wheels analyze code --fix
-```
-
-### Generate HTML report
-Creates a detailed HTML report with visualizations:
-```bash
-wheels analyze code --report

-
-## Configuration
-
-Create a `.wheelscheck` file in your project root to customize rules:
-
-```json
-{
-  "rules": {
-    "max-line-length": 120,
-    "indent-size": 4,
-    "max-function-length": 50,
-    "max-function-complexity": 10,
-    "max-file-length": 500,
-    "duplicate-threshold": 30,
-    "naming-convention": "camelCase"
-  },
-  "features": {
-    "duplicateDetection": true,
-    "complexityAnalysis": true,
-    "wheelsConventions": true,
-    "codeSmells": true
-  },
-  "exclude": [
-    "custom/path/to/exclude/",
-    "generated/"
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-## Excluded Directories
-
-The analyzer automatically excludes:
-- Wheels framework files (`vendor/wheels/`, `wheels/`)
-- Third-party dependencies (`vendor/`, `node_modules/`)
-- Test frameworks (`testbox/`, `tests/`)
-- Build artifacts (`build/`, `dist/`)
-- Version control (`.git/`, `.svn/`)
-- System directories (`WEB-INF/`, `CFIDE/`)
-- Generated files (`*.min.js`, `*.min.css`)
-
-## Auto-fixable Issues
-
-The following issues can be automatically fixed with the `--fix` flag:
-- Trailing whitespace
-- Tab characters (converted to spaces)
-- Missing var scoping in functions
-- Missing output attribute on components
-
-## Integration with CI/CD
-
-### GitHub Actions
-```yaml
-- name: Code Analysis
-  run: |
-    wheels analyze code --format=junit --severity=error
-```
-
-### GitLab CI
-```yaml
-code_quality:
-  script:
-    - wheels analyze code --format=json > code-quality.json
-  artifacts:
-    reports:
-      codequality: code-quality.json
-```
-
-### Jenkins
-```groovy
-stage('Code Analysis') {
-    steps {
-        sh 'wheels analyze code --format=junit'
-        junit 'code-analysis-results.xml'
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-- **Small projects** (< 100 files): Analysis completes in seconds
-- **Medium projects** (100-500 files): 30-60 seconds typical
-- **Large projects** (500+ files): Several minutes, use `--verbose` to track progress
-- HTML report generation adds 5-30 seconds depending on project size
-
-
-## Tips
-
-1. Run analysis regularly during development to catch issues early
-2. Use `--fix` for quick cleanup before commits
-3. Include analysis in pre-commit hooks or CI pipelines
-4. Start with `--severity=error` and gradually include warnings
-5. Review the HTML report for visual insights into code quality
-6. Use the grade as a benchmark to track improvement over time
-7. Focus on fixing high-complexity functions first for maximum impact
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### No files found to analyze
-- Ensure you're in a Wheels application root directory
-- Check that the `app/` directory exists
-- Verify path permissions
-
-### Analysis taking too long
-- Use `--path` to analyze specific directories
-- Add frequently changing directories to exclude list
-- Consider splitting analysis across multiple runs
-
-### Fix not working
-- Some issues require manual intervention
-- Check file permissions for write access
-- Review the specific fix recommendations in the output

-### HTML Report
-
-The HTML report includes:
-- **Performance Dashboard**: Visual metrics with color-coded indicators
-- **Performance Grade**: Large visual display of grade and score
-- **Charts**: 
-  - Response time trends over monitoring period
-  - Memory usage over time
-- **Detailed Tables**:
-  - Top 10 slow requests with timing
-  - Top 10 slow queries with execution times
-- **Recommendations**: Context-aware optimization suggestions
-
-Reports are saved to: `reports/performance-[timestamp].html`
-
-## Data Collection
-
-### Simulated Mode (Default)
-- Generates realistic performance patterns
-- Useful for testing and demonstration
-- Provides consistent baseline metrics
-
-### Profile Mode (--profile)
-When enabled, attempts to:
-- Access ColdFusion's metrics service
-- Hook into Wheels debug information
-- Collect real request/response times
-- Capture actual query execution data
-- Falls back to simulation if real data unavailable
-
-## Performance Thresholds
-
-Default thresholds used for categorization:
-- **Slow Requests**: > 100ms (configurable via --threshold)
-- **Slow Queries**: > 50ms (fixed)
-- **High Memory**: > 500MB
-- **Response Time Categories**:
-  - Fast: < 100ms
-  - Moderate: 100-300ms
-  - Slow: > 300ms
-
-## Recommendations
-
-The analyzer provides context-aware recommendations based on:
-- **High Average Response Time** (>200ms): Suggests caching strategies
-- **Slow Queries Detected**: Recommends indexing and query optimization
-- **High Memory Usage** (>500MB): Suggests memory optimization
-- **Multiple Slow Requests**: Recommends async processing and lazy loading
-
-## Integration
-
-### CI/CD Pipeline
-Exit codes for automation:
-- `0`: Performance acceptable
-- `1`: Performance issues detected (slow requests or queries found)
-
-Example Jenkins integration:
-```groovy
-stage('Performance Check') {
-    steps {
-        sh 'wheels analyze performance --duration=60 --threshold=200'
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Monitoring Strategy
-1. Run regularly in staging environment
-2. Compare metrics over time to track improvements
-3. Use HTML reports for stakeholder communication
-4. Set appropriate thresholds based on application requirements
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Baseline First**: Establish performance baselines before optimization
-2. **Target Specific Areas**: Use --target to focus on suspected bottlenecks
-3. **Realistic Load**: Run during typical usage patterns for accurate results
-4. **Profile Mode**: Enable --profile when real metrics are needed
-5. **Regular Monitoring**: Schedule regular performance checks
-6. **Track Trends**: Save reports to track performance over time
-
-## Limitations
-
-- **Simulated Data**: Default mode uses simulated data; enable --profile for real metrics
-- **Single Instance**: Monitors single application instance only
-- **External Services**: Doesn't track external API or service calls
-- **Browser Performance**: Server-side only, doesn't measure client-side performance
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### No real data with --profile
-- Ensure application has debug mode available
-- Check ColdFusion administrator settings
-- Verify appropriate permissions for metrics access
-
-### High memory usage reported
-- Normal for JVM applications
-- Monitor trends rather than absolute values
-- Consider JVM heap settings
-
-### All requests showing as slow
-- Adjust threshold to match application expectations
-- Check if application is under unusual load
-- Verify database connection pool settings

-title: Asset Management Commands
----
-# Asset Management Commands
-
-The Wheels CLI provides commands for managing static assets in your application, including compilation, optimization, and cleanup of JavaScript, CSS, and image files.
-
-## Available Commands
-
-```bash
-wheels assets precompile
-wheels assets clean
-wheels assets clobber
-```
-
-## Asset Commands
-
-### wheels assets precompile
-
-Prepares your assets for production deployment by minifying and optimizing them.
-
-#### Usage
-
-```bash
-# Basic precompilation (defaults to production)
-wheels assets precompile
-
-# Force recompilation of all assets
-wheels assets precompile --force
-
-# Target specific environments (with aliases)
-wheels assets precompile --environment=production    # Full minification
-wheels assets precompile --environment=prod          # Alias for production
-wheels assets precompile --environment=staging       # Light minification
-wheels assets precompile --environment=stage         # Alias for staging
-wheels assets precompile --environment=testing       # Light minification
-wheels assets precompile --environment=test          # Alias for testing
-wheels assets precompile --environment=maintenance   # Light minification
-wheels assets precompile --environment=development   # No minification
-wheels assets precompile --environment=dev           # Alias for development
-```
-
-#### Environment-Specific Processing
-
-The command applies different levels of asset optimization based on the target environment:
-
-- **Production** (`production`, `prod`): **Full minification** - Maximum compression, removes all comments and whitespace, optimizes code structure
-- **Staging** (`staging`, `stage`): **Light minification** - Removes comments and excessive whitespace but preserves some formatting for debugging
-- **Testing** (`testing`, `test`): **Light minification** - Same as staging, optimized for testing environments
-- **Maintenance** (`maintenance`): **Light minification** - Minimal processing for maintenance mode deployments
-- **Development** (`development`, `dev`): **No minification** - Preserves original formatting and comments for debugging
-
-#### What it does
-
-- **Minifies JavaScript files**: Removes comments, whitespace, and unnecessary characters (level depends on environment)
-- **Minifies CSS files**: Removes comments, whitespace, and optimizes CSS rules (level depends on environment)
-- **Generates cache-busted filenames**: Adds MD5 hashes to filenames (e.g., `application-a1b2c3d4.min.js`)
-- **Creates manifest.json**: Maps original filenames to compiled versions
-- **Processes images**: Copies images with cache-busted names
-- **Output location**: Stores all compiled assets in `/public/assets/compiled/`
-
-
-#### Generated Manifest Example
-
-```json
-{
-  "application.js": "application-a1b2c3d4.min.js",
-  "admin.js": "admin-b2c3d4e5.min.js",
-  "styles.css": "styles-c3d4e5f6.min.css",
-  "admin.css": "admin-d4e5f6g7.min.css",
-  "logo.png": "logo-e5f6g7h8.png",
-  "banner.jpg": "banner-f6g7h8i9.jpg"
-}
-```
-
-### wheels assets clean
-
-Removes old compiled assets while keeping recent versions for rollback capability.
-
-#### Usage
-
-```bash
-# Clean old assets (keeps 3 most recent versions by default)
-wheels assets clean
-
-# Keep 5 versions of each asset
-wheels assets clean --keep=5
-
-# Preview what would be deleted without actually deleting
-wheels assets clean --dryRun
-```
-
-#### What it does
-
-- **Identifies old versions**: Finds all compiled assets with hash fingerprints
-- **Keeps recent versions**: Retains the specified number of most recent versions (default: 3)
-- **Removes old files**: Deletes older versions to free disk space
-- **Updates manifest**: Ensures manifest.json remains current
-- **Dry run option**: Preview deletions without making changes
-
-
-### wheels assets clobber
-
-Completely removes all compiled assets and the manifest file.
-
-#### Usage
-
-```bash
-# Remove all compiled assets (with confirmation prompt)
-wheels assets clobber
-
-# Skip confirmation prompt
-wheels assets clobber --force
-```
-
-#### What it does
-
-- **Deletes compiled directory**: Removes `/public/assets/compiled/` and all contents
-- **Removes manifest**: Deletes the manifest.json file
-- **Confirmation prompt**: Asks for confirmation unless --force is used
-- **Complete cleanup**: Useful for fresh starts or troubleshooting
-
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Production Deployment Workflow
-
-1. **Before deployment**:
-```bash
-# Compile assets for production
-wheels assets precompile --environment=production
-
-# Clean old versions to save space
-wheels assets clean --keep=3
-```
-
-2. **After deployment verification**:
-```bash
-# If rollback needed, previous versions are still available
-# If deployment successful, further cleanup can be done
-wheels assets clean --keep=2
-```
-
-### Development Workflow
-
-During development, you typically don't need compiled assets:
-
-```bash
-# Remove all compiled assets in development
-wheels assets clobber --force
-
-# Precompile only when testing production builds
-wheels assets precompile --environment=development
-```
-
-### Continuous Integration
-
-Example CI/CD pipeline step:
-
-```yaml
-# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
-- name: Compile Assets
-  run: |
-    wheels assets precompile --environment=production
-    wheels assets clean --keep=3
-```
-
-## File Structure
-
-After running `wheels assets precompile`:
-
-```
-/public/
-  /assets/
-    /compiled/
-      manifest.json
-      application-a1b2c3d4.min.js
-      styles-e5f6g7h8.min.css
-      logo-i9j0k1l2.png
-    /javascripts/
-      application.js (original)
-    /stylesheets/
-      styles.css (original)
-    /images/
-      logo.png (original)
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-Configure asset handling in your Wheels application:
-
-```cfscript
-// config/settings.cfm
-
-// Enable asset fingerprinting in production
-set(useAssetFingerprinting = true);
-
-// Set asset cache duration (in minutes)
-set(assetsCacheMinutes = 1440); // 24 hours
-
-// Define assets path
-set(assetsPath = "/assets");
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Assets not updating in production
-
-```bash
-# Force recompilation
-wheels assets precompile --force
-
-# Verify manifest exists and is current
-cat public/assets/compiled/manifest.json
-```
-
-### Disk space issues
-
-```bash
-# Check space used by compiled assets
-du -sh public/assets/compiled/
-
-# Aggressive cleanup - keep only 1 version
-wheels assets clean --keep=1
-
-# Or remove everything and recompile
-wheels assets clobber --force
-wheels assets precompile
-```
-
-### Missing assets after deployment
-
-```bash
-# Ensure assets were compiled for the correct environment
-wheels assets precompile --environment=production
-
-# Check that manifest.json exists
-ls -la public/assets/compiled/manifest.json
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- **Backup**: Always backup assets before running `clobber` in production
-- **Version Control**: Don't commit compiled assets to version control
-- **Deployment**: Run `precompile` as part of your deployment process
-- **Performance**: Compiled assets significantly improve load times

-title: "wheels browser:install"
-description: Install Playwright JARs and browser binaries for native CFML browser testing.
----
-
-# wheels browser:install
-
-Install Playwright Java JARs and browser binaries for native CFML browser testing. Downloads 7 JARs from Maven Central (~200 MB), verifies SHA-256 hashes, then installs the Chromium browser binary (~170 MB).
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-wheels browser:install [options]
-```
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Type | Default | Description |
-|--------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `--force` | boolean | `false` | Re-download JARs even if SHA-256 hashes match |
-| `--browser` | string | `chromium` | Which browser to install (`chromium`, `firefox`, `webkit`) |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Standard installation
-
-```bash
-wheels browser:install
-```
-
-### Force re-download
-
-```bash
-wheels browser:install --force
-```
-
-### Install Firefox instead
-
-```bash
-wheels browser:install --browser=firefox
-```
-
-## What Gets Installed
-
-**JARs** (~200 MB) are downloaded to `~/.wheels/browser/lib/`:
-- `playwright-1.52.0.jar` — Playwright client API
-- `driver-1.52.0.jar` — Driver class
-- `driver-bundle-1.52.0.jar` — Bundled Node runtime (~191 MB)
-- `gson-2.12.1.jar` — JSON library
-- `Java-WebSocket-1.6.0.jar` — WebSocket transport
-- `slf4j-api-2.0.17.jar` — Logging API
-- `slf4j-simple-2.0.17.jar` — Logging implementation
-
-**Browser binary** (~170 MB) is installed to the Playwright cache:
-- macOS: `~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/`
-- Linux: `~/.cache/ms-playwright/`
-
-## Idempotent
-
-Re-running is a no-op when all JARs pass SHA-256 verification and the browser is already installed. Use `--force` to re-download regardless.
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-| Variable | Description |
-|----------|-------------|
-| `WHEELS_BROWSER_HOME` | Override install directory (default: `~/.wheels/browser`) |
-
-## Manifest
-
-JAR URLs and SHA-256 hashes are defined in `vendor/wheels/browser-manifest.json`. This file is version-controlled and determines which Playwright version is used.

-3. **Regular Audits** - Periodically check all environments for security issues
-
-4. **Fix Warnings** - While warnings don't fail the check, addressing them improves security and performance
-
-5. **Version Control** - After using `--fix`, review and commit the changes
-
-6. **Environment-Specific Configs** - Create separate configuration directories for each environment
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Command Not Found
-```
-Error: This command must be run from a Wheels application directory
-```
-**Solution**: Run the command from your Wheels application root directory
-
-### Cannot Read Configuration
-```
-Error reading configuration: [error message]
-```
-**Solution**: Check file permissions and ensure configuration files are valid CFML
-
-### Datasource Not Found
-```
-Datasource 'myapp_db' not found
-```
-**Solution**: Configure the datasource in your CFML administrator or Application.cfc
-
-### Permission Issues with .env
-```
-.env file has overly permissive permissions
-```
-**Solution**: Run `chmod 600 .env` to restrict file permissions
-
-## Configuration File Examples
-
-### Basic config/settings.cfm
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-// Application settings
-set(dataSourceName = application.env["DB_NAME"]);
-set(reloadPassword = application.env["RELOAD_PASSWORD"]);
-
-// Security settings
-set(showDebugInformation = false);
-set(showErrorInformation = false);
-
-// Performance settings
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Environment-specific config/production/settings.cfm
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-// Production overrides
-set(showDebugInformation = false);
-set(sendEmailOnError = true);
-set(errorEmailAddress = "admin@example.com");
-set(forceSSL = true);
-
-// Enable all caching
-set(cacheControllerConfig = true);
-set(cacheDatabaseSchema = true);
-set(cacheFileChecking = true);
-set(cacheImages = true);
-set(cacheModelConfig = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(cacheRoutes = true);
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Sample .env file
-```bash
-# Wheels Environment Configuration
-WHEELS_ENV=development
-
-# Database Configuration
-DB_HOST=localhost
-DB_PORT=3306
-DB_NAME=myapp_development
-DB_USER=dbuser
-DB_PASSWORD=secure_password
-
-# Application Settings
-RELOAD_PASSWORD=change_this_password
-SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
-API_KEY=your_api_key
-```
-
-## Related Commands
-
-- `wheels get environment` - Display current environment setting
-- `wheels env merge` - Merge environment configurations
-- `wheels db create` - Create database for current environment
-- `wheels test` - Run tests in current environment
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-1. **Never commit .env files** - Always keep .env in .gitignore
-2. **Use environment variables** - Don't hardcode sensitive values
-3. **Restrict file permissions** - Set appropriate permissions on configuration files
-4. **Different passwords per environment** - Use unique credentials for each environment
-5. **Enable SSL in production** - Always force SSL for production environments
-6. **Hide error details** - Never show debug information in production
-
-## Tips
-
-- Run with `--verbose` first to understand all issues before using `--fix`
-- Create environment-specific directories even if empty for better organization
-- Use the command as part of your deployment checklist
-- Keep configuration files well-commented for team members
-- Regularly update and review security settings
-- Use strong, unique reload passwords for each environment
-- Document any custom configuration requirements for your team

-# Wheels config diff
-
-## Overview
-
-The `wheels config diff` command compares configuration settings and environment variables between two environments. It helps identify differences in both Wheels settings files and environment-specific `.env` files, making it easier to understand configuration variations across development, testing, and production environments.
-
-## Command Syntax
-
-```bash
-wheels config diff <env1> <env2> [--changesOnly] [--format=<format>] [--env] [--settings]
-```
-
-## Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
-|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| env1 | string | Yes | First environment to compare (e.g., development, testing, production) |
-| env2 | string | Yes | Second environment to compare |
-| --changesOnly | flag | No | Only show differences, hide identical values |
-| --format | string | No | Output format: `table` (default) or `json` |
-| --env | flag | No | Compare only environment variables |
-| --settings | flag | No | Compare only Wheels settings |
-
-## Comparison Modes
-
-The command can operate in three modes:
-
-1. **Both (Default)** - Compares both settings and environment variables
-2. **Environment Variables Only** - Use `--env` flag
-3. **Settings Only** - Use `--settings` flag
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-### Compare All Configurations
-```bash
-# Compare everything between development and production
-wheels config diff development production
-```
-
-### Compare Only Differences
-```bash
-# Show only the differences, hide identical values
-wheels config diff development production --changesOnly
-```
-
-### Compare Environment Variables Only
-```bash
-# Compare only .env files between environments
-wheels config diff development production --env
-```
-
-### Compare Settings Only
-```bash
-# Compare only Wheels settings files
-wheels config diff development production --settings
-```
-
-### JSON Output Format
-```bash
-# Output comparison as JSON for parsing
-wheels config diff development production --format=json
-```
-
-## What Gets Compared
-
-### Settings Configuration
-The command compares:
-- Base settings from `config/settings.cfm`
-- Environment-specific overrides from `config/{environment}/settings.cfm`
-- All `set()` function calls are parsed and compared
-
-### Environment Variables
-The command compares:
-- Environment-specific files: `.env.{environment}`
-- Falls back to `.env` for development environment if `.env.development` doesn't exist
-- All KEY=VALUE pairs are parsed with proper handling of:
-  - Comments (lines starting with #)
-  - Inline comments
-  - Quoted values (single or double quotes)
-  - Whitespace trimming
-

-
-## Security Features
-
-### Automatic Masking
-The command automatically masks sensitive values containing these keywords:
-- password
-- secret
-- key
-- token
-- apikey/api_key
-- private
-- credential
-- auth
-- passphrase
-- salt
-
-Masked values appear as `***MASKED***` in the output.
-
-### Example
-```
-┌──────────────┬────────────────┬────────────────┐
-│ Variable     │ development    │ production     │
-├──────────────┼────────────────┼────────────────┤
-│ DB_PASSWORD  │ ***MASKED***   │ ***MASKED***   │
-│ API_KEY      │ ***MASKED***   │ ***MASKED***   │
-└──────────────┴────────────────┴────────────────┘
-```
-
-## Common Use Cases
-
-### Pre-Deployment Verification
-```bash
-# Verify configuration differences before deploying to production
-wheels config diff testing production --changesOnly
-```
-
-### Environment Synchronization Check
-```bash
-# Check if development and testing have similar configurations
-wheels config diff development testing
-```
-
-### Security Audit
-```bash
-# Review all security-related settings between environments
-wheels config diff development production --settings | grep -i "debug\|error\|ssl"
-```
-
-### CI/CD Pipeline Integration
-```bash
-# In your deployment script
-wheels config diff staging production --format=json > config-diff.json
-# Parse JSON to validate critical settings match expectations
-```
-
-### Environment Variable Validation
-```bash
-# Ensure all required environment variables exist in production
-wheels config diff development production --env --changesOnly
-```
-
-### Quick Similarity Check
-```bash
-# Get a quick overview of configuration similarity
-wheels config diff development testing | grep "Similarity:"
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Example 1: Basic Comparison
-```bash
-wheels config diff development production
-```
-Shows all differences and similarities between development and production configurations.
-
-### Example 2: Changes Only
-```bash
-wheels config diff testing production --changesOnly
-```
-Shows only the differences, useful for quick reviews.
-
-### Example 3: Environment Variables Focus
-```bash
-wheels config diff development staging --env --changesOnly
-```
-Shows only environment variable differences between development and staging.
-
-### Example 4: JSON for Automation
-```bash
-wheels config diff development production --format=json | jq '.summary.overall.similarity'
-```
-Outputs similarity percentage for automated checks.
-
-### Example 5: Settings Validation
-```bash
-wheels config diff development production --settings --changesOnly
-```
-Validates only Wheels settings differences.
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Environment Not Found
-```
-Warning: Settings for environment 'staging' not found!
-```
-The command continues with available data and shows warnings for missing files.
-
-### No Configuration File
-```
-Warning: No settings.cfm file found in config directory
-```
-The command will still compare environment variables if available.
-
-### Same Environment Comparison
-```
-Error: Cannot compare an environment to itself
-```
-You must specify two different environments.
-
-### Invalid Format
-```
-Error: Invalid format: xml. Valid formats are: table, json
-```
-Only `table` and `json` formats are supported.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Regular Comparisons** - Run comparisons before each deployment to catch unintended changes
-
-2. **Use changesOnly for Reviews** - Focus on differences during code reviews
-
-3. **Automate with JSON** - Use JSON output in CI/CD pipelines for automated validation
-
-4. **Document Differences** - Keep a record of intentional differences between environments
-
-5. **Security First** - Always review security-related settings (debug, error handling, SSL)
-
-6. **Version Control** - Track both settings files and environment files in version control (except sensitive .env files)
-
-## Tips
-
-- Use `--changesOnly` to quickly identify configuration drift
-- Pipe JSON output to `jq` for advanced filtering and processing
-- Create aliases for common comparisons (e.g., `alias cfgdiff='wheels config diff'`)
-- Review the similarity percentage as a quick health check
-- Use the command before and after configuration changes to verify impact
-- Combine with `wheels config check` for comprehensive configuration validation
-
-## File Format Examples
-
-### Settings File (config/production/settings.cfm)
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-// Production-specific settings
-set(showDebugInformation = false);
-set(showErrorInformation = false);
-set(sendEmailOnError = true);
-set(errorEmailAddress = "admin@example.com");
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(forceSSL = true);
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Environment File (.env.production)
-```bash
-# Production Environment Variables
-WHEELS_ENV=production
-
-# Database Configuration
-DB_HOST=prod.database.com
-DB_PORT=3306
-DB_NAME=app_production
-DB_USER=prod_user
-DB_PASSWORD=secure_password_here
-
-# Application Settings
-DEBUG_MODE=false
-LOG_LEVEL=error
-SESSION_TIMEOUT=30
-
-# API Keys
-API_KEY=prod_api_key_here
-SECRET_KEY=prod_secret_key
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Files Not Being Read
-- Ensure files exist in the correct locations
-- Check file permissions (must be readable)
-- Verify file naming conventions (.env.{environment})
-
-### Parsing Issues
-- Check for syntax errors in settings.cfm files
-- Ensure .env files use proper KEY=VALUE format
-- Remove any special characters that might cause parsing errors
-
-### Missing Comparisons
-- If using `--env` or `--settings`, ensure you're not filtering out the data you want
-- Check that both environments have the respective files
-
-### Performance Issues
-- Large configuration files may take time to parse
-- Consider using `--changesOnly` to reduce output
-- Use JSON format for faster processing in scripts
-
-## Related Commands
-
-- `wheels config check` - Validate configuration for issues
-- `wheels get environment` - Display current environment
-- `wheels env merge` - Merge environment configurations
-- `wheels env set` - Set environment variables
-
-## Summary
-
-The `wheels config diff` command is an essential tool for managing multi-environment Wheels applications. It provides comprehensive comparison capabilities for both application settings and environment variables, helping teams maintain consistency and catch configuration drift before it causes issues in production.

-# Wheels Config Dump Command Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-The `wheels config dump` command exports your Wheels application configuration settings for inspection, backup, or migration purposes. It can display configurations in multiple formats and optionally mask sensitive values for security.
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-```bash
-wheels config dump
-```
-
-This displays the current environment's configuration in a formatted table in the console.
-
-## Command Syntax
-
-```bash
-wheels config dump [environment] [--format=<type>] [--output=<file>] [--noMask]
-```
-
-## Arguments and Options
-
-### Positional Arguments
-
-| Argument | Required | Description | Default |
-|----------|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `environment` | No | The environment to dump (development, testing, production) | Auto-detects from WHEELS_ENV or defaults to "development" |
-
-### Options
-
-| Option | Description | Values | Default |
-|--------|-------------|--------|---------|
-| `--format=<type>` | Output format for the configuration | `table`, `json`, `env`, `cfml` | Console: `table`<br>File: `json` |
-| `--output=<file>` | File path to save the configuration | Any valid file path | None (displays to console) |
-| `--noMask` | Don't mask sensitive values (passwords, keys, tokens, etc.) | Flag (true/false) | `false` (sensitive values are masked) |
-
-### Option Details
-
-#### `--format`
-Specifies the output format for the configuration dump:
-- **`table`**: Formatted tables organized by category (best for console viewing)
-- **`json`**: Structured JSON format (best for programmatic use and file storage)
-- **`env`**: Environment variables format (.env compatible)
-- **`cfml`**: Wheels set() statements format
-
-#### `--output`
-When specified, saves the configuration to a file instead of displaying to console. If no format is explicitly specified with `--output`, JSON format is automatically used for better file compatibility.
-
-#### `--noMask`
-** Security Warning**: This option exposes sensitive configuration data including passwords, API keys, and tokens. Only use when absolutely necessary and ensure the output is stored securely.
-
-## Output Formats
-
-### Table Format (Console Default)
-Displays configuration in organized categories with formatted tables:
-- DATABASE Settings
-- CACHING Settings  
-- SECURITY Settings
-- ENVIRONMENT Settings
-- OTHER Settings
-
-### JSON Format (File Default)
-Exports configuration as structured JSON:
-```json
-{
-  "datasource": "myapp",
-  "cacheQueries": false,
-  "environment": "development",
-  "_environment": {
-    "WHEELS_ENV": "development"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Environment Variables Format (.env)
-Exports as environment variables compatible with .env files:
-```bash
-## Application Settings
-DATASOURCE=myapp
-CACHE_QUERIES=false
-ENVIRONMENT=development
-```
-
-### CFML Format
-Exports as Wheels `set()` statements:
-```cfml
-// Wheels Configuration Export
-set(datasource = "myapp");
-set(cacheQueries = false);
-set(environment = "development");
-```
-
-## Common Use Cases
-
-### 1. Quick Configuration Review
-```bash
-# View current configuration
-wheels config dump
-
-# View production configuration
-wheels config dump production
-```
-
-### 2. Backup Configuration
-```bash
-# Backup as JSON (default for files)
-wheels config dump --output=config-backup.json
-
-# Backup with timestamp
-wheels config dump --output="backup/config-$(date +%Y%m%d).json"
-```
-
-### 3. Environment Comparison
-```bash
-# Export different environments
-wheels config dump development --output=dev-config.json
-wheels config dump production --output=prod-config.json
-
-# Then compare using diff tools
-diff dev-config.json prod-config.json
-```
-
-### 4. Generate Environment Files
-```bash
-# Create .env file template
-wheels config dump --format=env --output=.env.template
-
-# Create environment-specific files
-wheels config dump production --format=env --output=.env.production
-```
-
-### 5. Migration Between Servers
-```bash
-# Export from source server (masked)
-wheels config dump --output=config-export.json
-
-# Export with sensitive data (be careful!)
-wheels config dump --noMask --output=config-complete.json
-```
-
-### 6. Generate CFML Settings
-```bash
-# Create settings file for another environment
-wheels config dump --format=cfml --output=config/staging/settings.cfm
-```
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-### Automatic Masking
-By default, the command masks sensitive values containing these keywords:
-- password
-- secret
-- key
-- token
-- apikey / api_key
-- private
-- credential
-- auth
-- passphrase
-- salt
-- pwd
-
-Masked values appear as: `***MASKED***`
-
-### Using --noMask
-Only use `--noMask` when:
-- You need complete configuration for migration
-- Output is being saved to a secure location
-- You're in a development environment
-
-**Never commit unmasked configuration files to version control!**
-
-## Configuration Sources
-
-The command loads configuration from multiple sources in order:
-
-1. **Base Settings**: `/config/settings.cfm`
-2. **Environment Settings**: `/config/[environment]/settings.cfm`
-3. **Environment Variables**: `.env` file (if exists)
-
-Environment detection checks (in order):
-1. `.env` file: `WHEELS_ENV` variable
-2. System environment: `WHEELS_ENV` variable
-3. System environment: `ENVIRONMENT` variable
-4. Default: `development`
-
-## File Output Behavior
-
-When using `--output`:
-- **No format specified**: Automatically uses JSON format
-- **Format specified**: Uses the specified format
-- **Notification**: Displays which format was used in the success message
-
-```bash
-# These save as JSON
-wheels config dump --output=config.json
-wheels config dump --output=settings.txt
-
-# This saves as ENV format
-wheels config dump --format=env --output=settings.env
-
-# This explicitly saves as table format
-wheels config dump --format=table --output=config.txt
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic Examples
-```bash
-# View current configuration
-wheels config dump
-
-# View testing environment configuration
-wheels config dump testing
-
-# Export as JSON to console
-wheels config dump --format=json
-```
-
-### Advanced Examples
-```bash
-# Complete production backup (unmasked)
-wheels config dump production --noMask --output=prod-complete.json
-
-# Generate environment file for Docker
-wheels config dump --format=env --output=docker/.env
-
-# Create CFML settings for new environment
-wheels config dump --format=cfml --output=config/custom/settings.cfm
-
-# Quick masked backup with date
-wheels config dump --output="backups/config-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).json"
-```
-
-### Pipeline Integration
-```bash
-# CI/CD configuration validation
-wheels config dump --format=json | jq '.datasource'
-
-# Environment variable generation for deployment
-wheels config dump production --format=env --output=/tmp/app.env
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### No settings.cfm file found
-**Error**: "No settings.cfm file found in config directory"
-**Solution**: Ensure you're running the command from your Wheels application root directory
-
-### Invalid format specified
-**Error**: "Invalid format: [format]. Valid formats are: table, json, env, cfml"
-**Solution**: Use one of the supported formats: table, json, env, or cfml
-
-### File write permissions
-**Error**: "Failed to write file"
-**Solution**: Ensure you have write permissions for the specified output directory
-
-### Environment not detected
-**Issue**: Always shows "development" environment
-**Solution**: Set the WHEELS_ENV environment variable or create a .env file with WHEELS_ENV=production
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Regular Backups**: Schedule regular configuration exports as part of your backup strategy
-2. **Version Control**: Store masked configuration exports in version control for tracking changes
-3. **Environment Validation**: Use dumps to verify configuration changes before deployment
-4. **Security First**: Always use masked output unless absolutely necessary
-5. **Documentation**: Keep exported configurations with deployment documentation
-
-## Support
-
-For issues or questions about the `wheels config dump` command:
-1. Check the Wheels documentation
-2. Verify your Wheels and CommandBox versions are compatible
-3. Ensure proper file permissions and paths

-# wheels deps
-
-Manage application dependencies using box.json.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels deps <action> [name] [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels deps` command provides a streamlined interface for managing your Wheels application's dependencies through box.json. It integrates with CommandBox's package management system while providing Wheels-specific conveniences.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `action` | **Required** - Action to perform: `list`, `install`, `update`, `remove`, `report` | Required |
-| `name` | Package name (required for install/update/remove actions) | None |
-| `version` | Specific version to install (optional, for install action only) | Latest version |
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--dev` | Install as development dependency (install action only) | false |
-
-## Actions
-
-### List
-Display all dependencies from box.json with their installation status.
-
-```bash
-wheels deps list
-```
-
-Output shows:
-- Package name
-- Version specification
-- Type (Production/Development)
-- Installation status
-
-Example output:
-```
-Dependencies:
-  wheels-core @ ^3.1.0 (Production) - Installed
-
-Dev Dependencies:
-  commandbox-cfformat @ * (Development) - Installed
-```
-
-### Install
-Install a new dependency and add it to box.json.
-
-```bash
-wheels deps install <name>
-wheels deps install <name> <version>
-wheels deps install <name> --dev
-```
-
-Examples:
-```bash
-# Install latest version as production dependency
-wheels deps install cbvalidation
-
-# Install specific version
-wheels deps install cbvalidation 3.1.0
-
-# Install as development dependency (saves to devDependencies)
-wheels deps install testbox --dev
-```
-
-**Important**: The `--dev` flag uses CommandBox's `--saveDev` flag internally, ensuring packages are correctly saved to the `devDependencies` section of box.json.
-
-### Update
-Update an existing dependency to the latest version allowed by its version specification.
-
-```bash
-wheels deps update <name>
-```
-
-Example:
-```bash
-wheels deps update wheels-core
-```
-
-The command will:
-- Check if the dependency exists in box.json
-- Determine if it's a production or dev dependency
-- Update to the latest compatible version
-- Show version change information
-
-### Remove
-Remove a dependency from both box.json and the file system.
-
-```bash
-wheels deps remove <name>
-```
-
-Example:
-```bash
-wheels deps remove oldpackage
-```
-
-**Note**: Remove action will ask for confirmation before proceeding.
-
-### Report
-Generate a comprehensive dependency report with outdated package check.
-
-```bash
-wheels deps report
-```
-
-The report includes:
-- Project information (name, version)
-- Wheels version
-- CFML engine details
-- All dependencies with installation status
-- Development dependencies
-- Installed modules information
-- Outdated package check
-- Export to JSON file
-
-Example output:
-```

-```
-
-## Integration with CommandBox
-
-The `wheels deps` commands delegate to CommandBox's package management system:
-- `install` uses `box install` with `--saveDev` flag for dev dependencies
-- `update` uses `box update`
-- `remove` uses `box uninstall`
-- `report` uses `box outdated`
-
-This ensures compatibility with the broader CFML package ecosystem.
-
-## Working with box.json
-
-The command manages two dependency sections in box.json:
-
-### Production Dependencies
-```json
-{
-  "dependencies": {
-    "wheels-core": "^3.1.0"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Development Dependencies
-```json
-{
-  "devDependencies": {
-    "testbox": "^6",
-    "commandbox-cfformat": "*"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Installation Status
-
-The command checks for installed packages using the `installPaths` defined in box.json to determine actual installation locations. This ensures accurate detection regardless of where packages are installed:
-
-### Detection Method:
-1. **Primary**: Checks the exact path specified in `box.json` → `installPaths`
-2. **Fallback**: Checks standard locations like `/modules` directory
-
-### Supported Package Formats:
-- Simple names: `cbvalidation`
-- Namespaced: `forgebox:cbvalidation`
-- Versioned: `cbvalidation@4.6.0`
-
-### Example Install Paths:
-```json
-"installPaths": {
-    "wheels-core": "vendor/wheels/",
-    "cbvalidation": "modules/cbvalidation/",
-    "shortcodes": "plugins/Shortcodes/"
-}
-```
-
-The installation status reflects the physical presence of packages on the filesystem, not just their listing in box.json dependencies.
-
-## Error Handling
-
-Common scenarios:
-- **No box.json**: Prompts to run `box init`
-- **Package not found**: Shows available dependencies
-- **Update failures**: Shows current and attempted versions
-- **Network issues**: Displays CommandBox error messages
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Initialize First**: Run `box init` before managing dependencies
-2. **Use Version Constraints**: Specify version ranges for stability
-3. **Separate Dev Dependencies**: Use `--dev` for test/build tools
-4. **Regular Updates**: Run `wheels deps report` to check for outdated packages
-5. **Commit box.json**: Always version control your dependency specifications
-
-## Notes
-
-- Dependencies are installed to the `/modules` directory
-- The command respects CommandBox's dependency resolution
-- Version specifications follow npm-style semver patterns
-- Dev dependencies are not installed in production environments

-# wheels destroy
-
-Remove generated code and files associated with a model, controller, views, and tests.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels destroy <name>
-wheels d <name>
-```
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-This command supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Positional parameters**: `wheels destroy user` (resource name as positional)
-- **Named parameters**: `name=value` (e.g., `name=user`)
-
-**Parameter Mixing Rules:**
-
-**ALLOWED:**
-- Positional: `wheels destroy user`
-- Named: `wheels destroy name=user`
-
-**NOT ALLOWED:**
-- Positional + named for same parameter: `wheels destroy user name=other`
-
-**Recommendation:** Use positional parameter for simplicity: `wheels destroy user`
-
-**Note:** This command always prompts for confirmation before proceeding. There is no `--force` flag to skip confirmation.
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels destroy` command removes all files and code associated with a resource that was previously generated. It's useful for cleaning up mistakes or removing features completely. This command will also drop the associated database table and remove resource routes.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Required |
-|----------|-------------|----------|
-| `name` | Name of the resource to destroy | Yes |
-
-## Options
-
-This command has no additional options. It always prompts for confirmation before proceeding.
-
-## What Gets Removed
-
-When you destroy a resource, the following items are deleted:
-- Model file (`/app/models/[Name].cfc`)
-- Controller file (`/app/controllers/[Names].cfc`)
-- Views directory (`/app/views/[names]/`)
-- Model test file (`/tests/specs/models/[Name].cfc`)
-- Controller test file (`/tests/specs/controllers/[Names].cfc`)
-- View test directory (`/tests/specs/views/[names]/`)
-- Resource route entry in `/config/routes.cfm`
-- Database table (if confirmed)
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic destroy
-```bash
-# Positional (recommended)
-wheels destroy user
-
-# OR named
-wheels destroy name=user
-
-# OR alias (positional)
-wheels d user
-```
-
-This will prompt this along with a confirmation:
-```
-==================================================
-                    Watch Out!
-==================================================
-This will delete the associated database table 'users', and
-the following files and directories:
-
-/app/models/User.cfc
-/app/controllers/Users.cfc
-/app/views/users/
-/tests/specs/models/User.cfc
-/tests/specs/controllers/Users.cfc
-/tests/specs/views/users/
-/config/routes.cfm
-.resources("users")
-
-Are you sure? [y/n]
-```
-
-## Safety Features
-
-1. **Confirmation**: Always asks for confirmation before proceeding
-2. **Shows All Changes**: Lists all files and directories that will be deleted
-3. **Database Migration**: Creates and runs a migration to drop the table
-4. **Route Cleanup**: Automatically removes resource routes from routes.cfm
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Commit First**: Always commit your changes before destroying
-2. **Review Carefully**: Read the confirmation list carefully
-3. **Check Dependencies**: Make sure other code doesn't depend on what you're destroying
-4. **Backup Database**: Have a database backup before running in production
-
-## Common Workflows
-
-### Undo a generated resource
-```bash
-# Generated the wrong name
-wheels generate resource prduct  # Oops, typo!
-wheels destroy prduct            # Remove it
-wheels generate resource product # Create correct one
-```
-
-### Clean up after experimentation
-```bash
-# Try out a feature
-wheels generate scaffold blog_post title:string,content:text
-# Decide you don't want it
-wheels destroy blog_post
-```
-
-## Important
-
-- Cannot be undone - files are permanently deleted
-- Database table is dropped via migration
-- Resource routes are automatically removed from routes.cfm
-- Only works with resources that follow Wheels naming conventions

----
-
-# wheels init
-
-Bootstrap an existing Wheels application for CLI usage.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels init
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels init` command initializes an existing Wheels application to work with the Wheels CLI. It's an interactive command that helps set up necessary configuration files (box.json and server.json) for an existing Wheels installation.
-
-## Arguments
-
-This command has no arguments - it runs interactively and prompts for required information.
-
-
-## Interactive Prompts
-
-When you run `wheels init`, you'll be prompted for:
-
-1. **Confirmation** - Confirm you want to proceed with initialization
-2. **Application Name** - Used to make server.json server name unique (if box.json doesn't exist)
-3. **CF Engine** - Default CFML engine (e.g., `lucee5`, `adobe2021`) (if server.json doesn't exist)
-
-## Examples
-
-### Initialize current directory
-```bash
-wheels init
-```
-
-Example interaction:
-```
-==================================================
-                   Wheels init
-==================================================
- This function will attempt to add a few things
- to an EXISTING Wheels installation to help
- the CLI interact.
-
- We're going to assume the following:
-  - you've already setup a local datasource/database
-  - you've already set a reload password
-
- We're going to try and do the following:
-  - create a box.json to help keep track of the wheels version
-  - create a server.json
---------------------------------------------------
-
-Sound ok? [y/n] y
-Please enter an application name (we use this to make the server.json servername unique): myapp
-Please enter a default cfengine: lucee5
-```
-
-## What It Does
-
-1. **Creates `vendor/wheels/box.json`** - Tracks the Wheels framework version
-2. **Creates `server.json`** - Configures CommandBox server settings with:
-   - Unique server name based on application name
-   - Selected CF engine
-   - Default port and settings
-3. **Creates `box.json`** - Main project configuration file with:
-   - Application name
-   - Wheels version dependency
-   - Project metadata
-
-## Generated Files
-
-### server.json
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "web": {
-    "http": {
-      "port": 60000
-    }
-  },
-  "app": {
-    "cfengine": "lucee5"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### box.json
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "version": "1.0.0",
-  "dependencies": {
-    "wheels": "^3.1.0"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before running `wheels init`:
-- Have an existing Wheels application
-- Database/datasource already configured
-- Reload password already set in your application settings
-
-## Notes
-
-- Run this command in the root directory of your Wheels application
-- Files are only created if they don't already exist
-- The command detects your current Wheels version automatically
-- Special characters are stripped from application names

-# wheels reload
-
-Reload the Wheels application in different modes.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels reload [options]
-wheels r [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels reload` command reloads your Wheels application, clearing caches and reinitializing the framework. This is useful during development when you've made changes to configuration, routes, or framework settings. Note: the server must be running for this command to work.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `mode` | Reload mode: `development`, `testing`, `maintenance`, `production` | `development` |
-| `password` |The reload password configured in your application | Empty |
-
-## Configuration
-
-Set the reload password in your Wheels `settings.cfm`:
-
-```cfml
-set(reloadPassword="mySecretPassword");
-```
-
-## Reload Modes
-
-### Development Mode
-```bash
-wheels reload password=mypassword
-```
-- Enables debugging
-- Shows detailed error messages
-- Disables caching
-- Ideal for active development
-
-### Testing Mode
-```bash
-wheels reload mode=testing password=mypassword
-```
-- Optimized for running tests
-- Consistent environment
-- Predictable caching
-
-### Maintenance Mode
-```bash
-wheels reload mode=maintenance password=mypassword
-```
-- Shows maintenance page to users
-- Allows admin access
-- Useful for deployments
-
-### Production Mode
-```bash
-wheels reload mode=production password=mypassword
-```
-- Full caching enabled
-- Minimal error information
-- Optimized performance
-
-## Security
-
-- The reload password must match the one configured in your Wheels application
-- Password is sent via URL parameter to the running application
-- Always use a strong password in production environments
-
-## Notes
-
-- Reload clears all application caches
-- Session data may be lost during reload
-- Database connections are refreshed
-- All singletons are recreated
-- The server must be running for this command to work
-
-## Common Issues
-
-- **Invalid password**: Check password in settings.cfm
-- **Server not running**: Start server with `box server start`
-- **Connection refused**: Ensure server is accessible on expected port
-- **Timeout**: Large applications may take time to reload
-

-# wheels db create
-
-Create a new database based on your datasource configuration.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels db create [--datasource=<name>] [--environment=<env>] [--database=<dbname>] [--dbtype=<type>] [--force]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels db create` command creates a new database using the connection information from your configured datasource. If the datasource doesn't exist, the command offers an interactive wizard to create it for you, supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, H2, and SQLite databases.
-
-### Key Features
-
-- **Automatic .env file reading**: Reads actual database credentials from `.env.{environment}` files using generic `DB_*` variable names
-- **Interactive datasource creation**: Prompts for credentials when datasource doesn't exist
-- **Environment validation**: Checks if environment exists before prompting for credentials
-- **Smart error handling**: Single, clear error messages without duplication
-- **Enhanced driver guidance**: Provides specific installation instructions when JDBC drivers are missing
-- **Post-creation setup**: Automatically creates environment files and writes datasource to `app.cfm` after successful database creation
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Type | Default | Description |
-|--------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `datasource` | string | Current datasource | Specify which datasource to use. If not provided, uses the default datasource from your Wheels configuration. |
-| `environment` | string | Current environment | Specify the environment to use. Defaults to the current environment (development if not set). |
-| `database` | string | `wheels_dev` | Specify the database name to create. **Note for Oracle:** Database names cannot contain hyphens. Use underscores instead (e.g., `myapp_dev` not `myapp-dev`). |
-| `dbtype` | string | Auto-detected | Database type: `h2`, `sqlite`, `mysql`, `postgres`, `mssql`, `oracle`. If not specified, the command will prompt you to select a type when creating a new datasource. |
-| `force` | boolean | `false` | Drop the existing database if it already exists and recreate it. Without this flag, the command will error if the database already exists. |
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```bash
-# Use specific datasource
-wheels db create --datasource=myapp_dev
-
-# Specify environment
-wheels db create --environment=testing
-
-# Custom database name
-wheels db create --database=myapp_production
-
-# Specify database type
-wheels db create --dbtype=postgres --database=myapp_dev
-
-# Force recreation
-wheels db create --force
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-Create database using default datasource:
-```bash
-wheels db create
-```
-
-### General Examples
-
-```bash
-# Using existing datasource
-wheels db create datasource=myapp_dev
-
-# Specify environment
-wheels db create --environment=testing
-
-# Custom database name
-wheels db create --database=myapp_v2
-
-# Force recreation (drop and recreate)
-wheels db create --force
-```
-
-## Database-Specific Guides
-
-### H2 Database (Embedded)
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Embedded database - no server required
-- Database file created automatically on first connection
-- Only prompts for database name and optional credentials
-- No host/port configuration needed
-- Ideal for development and testing
-- JDBC Driver included with Lucee/CommandBox
-
-**Example Commands:**
-```bash
-# Basic H2 database
-wheels db create --dbtype=h2 --database=myapp_dev

-### SQLite Database (File-based)
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Lightweight file-based database - serverless and zero-configuration
-- **Database file created immediately** (unlike H2's lazy creation)
-- Creates database file with metadata table: `wheels_metadata`
-- Database stored at: `./db/database_name.db`
-- Automatically creates `db` directory if it doesn't exist
-- No username/password required (file-based authentication)
-- No host/port configuration needed
-- JDBC driver: `org.sqlite.JDBC` (org.xerial.sqlite-jdbc bundle v3.47.1.0)
-- Creates auxiliary files during operation:
-  - `database.db-wal` (Write-Ahead Log)
-  - `database.db-shm` (Shared Memory)
-  - `database.db-journal` (Rollback Journal)
-- **Use absolute paths** - paths are stored absolutely in configuration
-- Ideal for development, testing, prototyping, and portable applications
-- **Limitations:** Single writer, not recommended for high-concurrency production
-
-**Example Commands:**
-```bash
-# Basic SQLite database
-wheels db create --dbtype=sqlite --database=myapp_dev
-
-# Force recreate SQLite database
-wheels db create --dbtype=sqlite --database=myapp_dev --force
-
-# With specific environment
-wheels db create --dbtype=sqlite --database=myapp_test --environment=testing
-```
-
-**Output Example:**
-```
-[OK] SQLite JDBC driver loaded
-[OK] Database connection established
-[OK] Database schema initialized
-[OK] Database file created: D:\MyApp\db\myapp_dev.db
-[OK] File size: 16384 bytes
-
-SQLite database created successfully!
-```
-
-**Common Issues:**
-- **"Could not delete existing database file"**: The database file is locked. Stop the server (`box server stop`) and close any database tools.
-- **"File permission error"**: Ensure write permissions on the application root directory.
-- **"Database file was not created"**: Check disk space and directory permissions.

-
-# Custom datasource
-wheels db create --dbtype=postgres --database=myapp_prod --datasource=prod_db --environment=production
-```
-
-**Special Notes:**
-- When using `--force`, the command automatically terminates active connections before dropping the database
-- Check `pg_hba.conf` if you encounter authentication issues
-
----
-
-### SQL Server (MSSQL)
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Creates database with default settings
-- Connects to `master` system database
-- Supports Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver
-- Default port: 1433
-- Default username: sa

-
-# Force recreate
-wheels db create --dbtype=mssql --database=myapp_dev --force
-```
-
----
-
-### Oracle Database
-
-**Characteristics:**
-- Creates a USER/schema (Oracle's equivalent of a database)
-- Grants CONNECT and RESOURCE privileges automatically
-- Connects using SID (e.g., FREE, ORCL, XE)
-- Supports Oracle 12c+ with Container Database (CDB) architecture
-- Uses `_ORACLE_SCRIPT` session variable for non-C## users
-- **Important:** Database names cannot contain hyphens (use underscores)
-- Default port: 1521
-- Default SID: FREE (Oracle XE)
-- **Requires manual JDBC driver installation** (see below)
-
-**Example Commands:**
-```bash
-# Basic Oracle database (creates user/schema)
-wheels db create --dbtype=oracle --database=myapp_dev
-
-# With specific environment
-wheels db create --dbtype=oracle --database=myapp_prod --environment=production
-
-# Force recreate (drops and recreates user)
-wheels db create --dbtype=oracle --database=myapp_dev --force
-
-# IMPORTANT: Use underscores, not hyphens
-wheels db create --dbtype=oracle --database=myapp_test  # ✓ Correct
-# wheels db create --dbtype=oracle --database=myapp-test  # ✗ Wrong! Will fail
-```
-
-**Oracle JDBC Driver Installation:**
-
-If you see "Driver not found" error, you need to manually install the Oracle JDBC driver:
-
-1. **Download the driver** from [Oracle's official website](https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/jdbc-downloads.html)
-    - Download `ojdbc11.jar` or `ojdbc8.jar`
-
-2. **Find the correct location on *your* machine**
-    - Run this in CommandBox:
-        ```bash
-        info
-        ```
-    - Look for the line: **CommandBox Home** `/Users/yourname/.CommandBox`, there you will be able to find the exact commandBox path.
-
-3. **Place the JAR file** in CommandBox's library directory:
-    - **Windows**: `path\to\CommandBox\lib\`
-    - **Mac/Linux**: `path\to\CommandBox/lib/`
-
-4. **Restart CommandBox completely**:
-    - **Important**: Close all CommandBox instances (don't just reload)
-    - This ensures the JDBC driver is properly loaded
-
-5. **Verify installation**:
-    ```bash
-    wheels db create datasource=myOracleDS
-    ```
-    You should see: `[OK] Driver found: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver`
-
-**Common Oracle Errors:**
-- **"Invalid Oracle identifier"**: Database name contains hyphens. Use underscores instead.
-- **"ORA-65096: common user must start with C##"**: Either use `C##MYAPP` as the database name or grant additional privileges to the connecting user.
-- **"ORA-28014: cannot drop administrative user"**: Don't use system usernames (SYS, SYSTEM, etc.).
-
-## Interactive Datasource Creation
-
-If the specified datasource doesn't exist, the command will prompt you to create it interactively:
-
-```
-Datasource 'myapp_dev' not found in server configuration.
-
-Would you like to create this datasource now? [y/n]: y

-
-Create this datasource? [y/n]: y
-```
-
-The datasource will be saved to both `/config/app.cfm` and `CFConfig.json`.
-
-## Prerequisites
-> ** Note:** This command depends on configuration values. Please verify your database configuration before executing it.
-
-1. **Datasource Configuration**: The datasource can be configured in `/config/app.cfm` or created interactively
-2. **Database Privileges**: The database user must have CREATE DATABASE privileges (CREATE USER for Oracle, not applicable for H2/SQLite)
-3. **Network Access**: The database server must be accessible (not applicable for H2/SQLite file-based databases)
-4. **JDBC Drivers**:
-   - MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, H2, and SQLite drivers are included with CommandBox/Lucee by default
-   - **Oracle requires manual driver installation** - see [Oracle Database](#oracle-database) section for details
-5. **File Permissions** (SQLite/H2 only): Write permissions required in application root directory
-
-## Error Messages
-
-### "No datasource configured"
-No datasource was specified and none could be found in your Wheels configuration. Use the datasource= parameter or set dataSourceName in settings.
-
-### "Datasource not found"
-The specified datasource doesn't exist in your server configuration. The command will prompt you to create it interactively.
-
-### "Driver not found" (Oracle-specific)
-The JDBC driver for the database type is not available in CommandBox by default.
-
-**Fix:** The CLI will automatically provide specific installation guidance when a driver is missing:
-
-- **Oracle:** Shows detailed step-by-step Oracle JDBC driver installation instructions
-- **MySQL/PostgreSQL/MSSQL/SQLite:** Provides guidance on verifying CommandBox installation
-- **General:** Suggests restarting CommandBox and checking library directory
-
-**Fix:** See the [Oracle Database](#oracle-database) section above for detailed instructions.
-
-### "Database already exists"
-The database already exists. Use `--force` flag to drop and recreate it:
-```bash
-wheels db create --force
-```
-
-### "Access denied"
-The database user doesn't have permission to create databases. Grant CREATE privileges to the user.
-
-### "Connection failed"
-Common causes:
-1. Database server is not running
-2. Wrong server/port configuration
-3. Invalid credentials
-4. Network/firewall issues
-5. For PostgreSQL: pg_hba.conf authentication issues
-6. For Oracle: TNS listener not running or incorrect SID
-
-### Oracle-Specific Errors
-
-For Oracle errors, see the [Oracle Database](#oracle-database) section for detailed information on:
-- **"Invalid Oracle identifier"**: Use underscores instead of hyphens
-- **"ORA-65096: common user must start with C##"**: Use `C##` prefix or grant privileges
-- **"ORA-28014: cannot drop administrative user"**: Don't use system usernames (SYS, SYSTEM, etc.)
-
-### SQLite-Specific Errors
-
-For SQLite errors, see the [SQLite Database](#sqlite-database-file-based) section for detailed information on:
-- **"Could not delete existing database file"**: Database is locked. Stop server and close database tools
-- **"File permission error"**: Check write permissions on application root
-- **"Database file was not created"**: Verify disk space and permissions
-
-## Configuration Detection
-
-The command intelligently detects datasource configuration from multiple sources:
-
-### Priority Order:
-
-1. **`.env.{environment}` file** (highest priority - NEW!)
-   - Reads actual credential values using generic `DB_*` variable names
-   - Example: `DB_HOST=localhost`, `DB_USER=sa`, `DB_PASSWORD=MyPass123!`
-   - Solves the issue where `app.cfm` contains unresolved placeholders like `##this.env.DB_HOST##`
-
-2. **Datasource definitions in `/config/app.cfm`**
-   - Falls back to parsing connection strings if `.env` file doesn't exist
-   - Maintains backward compatibility
-
-3. **Environment-specific settings: `/config/[environment]/settings.cfm`**
-   - Detects datasource name from `set(dataSourceName="...")`
-
-4. **General settings: `/config/settings.cfm`**
-   - Global datasource configuration
-
-### What It Extracts:
-
-- Database driver type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle, H2)
-- Connection details:
-  - Host and port
-  - Database name
-  - Username and password
-  - Oracle SID (if applicable)
-
-### Generic Variable Names
-
-All database types now use **consistent `DB_*` variable names** in `.env` files:
-
-```bash
-DB_TYPE=mssql           # Database type
-DB_HOST=localhost       # Host (not MSSQL_HOST)
-DB_PORT=1433            # Port (not MSSQL_PORT)
-DB_DATABASE=wheels_dev  # Database name (not MSSQL_DATABASE)
-DB_USER=sa              # Username (not MSSQL_USER)
-DB_PASSWORD=Pass123!    # Password (not MSSQL_PASSWORD)
-DB_DATASOURCE=wheels_dev
-```
-
-This makes it easy to switch database types without changing variable names.

----
-# wheels db drop
-> ** Note:** This command depends on configuration values. Please verify your database configuration before executing it.
-
-Drop an existing database.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels db drop [--datasource=<name>] [--environment=<env>] [--database=<dbname>] [--force]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels db drop` command permanently deletes a database. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone. By default, it requires confirmation unless the `--force` flag is used.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Type | Default | Description |
-|--------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `datasource` | string | Current datasource | Specify which datasource's database to drop. If not provided, uses the default datasource from your Wheels configuration. |
-| `environment` | string | Current environment | Specify the environment to use. Defaults to the current environment. |
-| `database` | string | `wheels_dev` | Specify the database name to drop. **Note for Oracle:** Database names cannot contain hyphens. Use underscores instead (e.g., `myapp_dev` not `myapp-dev`). |
-| `force` | boolean | `false` | Skip the confirmation prompt. Useful for scripting. |
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```bash
-# Use specific datasource
-wheels db drop --datasource=myapp_dev
-
-# Specify environment
-wheels db drop --environment=testing
-
-# Custom database name
-wheels db drop --database=myapp_test
-
-# Force drop without confirmation
-wheels db drop --force
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-Drop database with confirmation:
-```bash
-wheels db drop
-# Will prompt: Are you sure you want to drop the database 'myapp_dev'? Type 'yes' to confirm:
-```
-
-### Force Drop
-
-Drop without confirmation:
-```bash
-wheels db drop --force
-```
-
-### Drop Test Database
-
-```bash
-wheels db drop --datasource=myapp_test --environment=testing --force
-```
-
-### Drop SQLite Database
-
-Drop file-based SQLite database:
-```bash
-# Using existing datasource
-wheels db drop --datasource=myapp_dev
-
-# With confirmation prompt
-wheels db drop --datasource=sqlite_app
-```
-
-Output:
-```
-==================================================
-              Database Drop Process
-==================================================
-[WARNING]: This will permanently drop the database!
-
-Datasource:               db_app
-Environment:              development
---------------------------------------------------
-Database Type:            H2
-Database Name:            mydb_app
---------------------------------------------------
-Are you sure you want to drop the database 'mydb_app'? Type 'yes' to confirm:
-```
-
-If server is running, it will automatically stop and retry:
-```
-[WARN] Server is running - stopping it to release database lock...
-[OK] SQLite database dropped successfully!
-```
-
-## Safety Features
-
-1. **Confirmation Required**: By default, you must type "yes" to confirm
-2. **Production Warning**: Extra warning when dropping production databases
-3. **Clear Messaging**: Shows database name and environment before dropping
-
-## Database-Specific Behavior
-
-### MySQL/MariaDB
-- Uses `DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS` statement
-- Connects to `information_schema` to execute command
-- Automatically handles active connections
-
-### PostgreSQL
-- Terminates existing connections before dropping
-- Uses `DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS` statement
-- Connects to `postgres` system database
-
-### SQL Server
-- Sets database to single-user mode to close connections
-- Uses `DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS` statement
-- Connects to `master` system database
-
-### Oracle
-- Drops USER/schema (Oracle's equivalent of a database)
-- Uses `DROP USER ... CASCADE` to remove all objects
-- Supports Oracle 12c+ with Container Database (CDB) architecture
-- Uses `_ORACLE_SCRIPT` session variable for non-C## users
-- **Important:** Database names cannot contain hyphens (use underscores)
-- Cannot drop system users (SYS, SYSTEM, ADMIN, XDB, etc.)
-
-### H2
-- Deletes database files (.mv.db, .lock.db, .trace.db)
-- Shows which files were deleted
-- No server connection required
-
-### SQLite
-- File-based deletion - removes database and auxiliary files
-- Deletes main database file (.db extension)
-- Automatically deletes auxiliary files:
-  - `.db-wal` (Write-Ahead Log)
-  - `.db-shm` (Shared Memory)
-  - `.db-journal` (Rollback Journal)
-- **Handles file locking automatically:**
-  - Detects if application server is running
-  - Stops server automatically if file is locked
-  - Retries deletion up to 5 times with 1-second delays
-  - Provides clear error messages if deletion fails
-- **Recommendation:** Stop server before dropping: `box server stop`
-- No network connection required (file-based)
-- Clean output with minimal messages
-
-## Warning
-
-**This operation is irreversible!** Always ensure you have backups before dropping a database.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always backup first**:
-   ```bash
-   wheels db dump --output=backup-before-drop.sql
-   wheels db drop
-   ```
-
-2. **Use --force carefully**: Only in scripts where you're certain
-
-3. **Double-check environment**: Especially important for production
-
-## Error Messages
-
-### "Database not found"
-The database doesn't exist. No action needed.
-
-### "Access denied"
-The database user doesn't have permission to drop databases. Grant DROP privileges to the user.
-
-### "Database in use"
-Some databases prevent dropping while connections are active. The command attempts to close connections automatically.
-
-### "Invalid Oracle identifier" (Oracle-specific)
-Database name contains invalid characters. Oracle usernames can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores.
-
-**Fix:** Use underscores instead of hyphens:
-```bash
-# Wrong
-wheels db drop --database=my-app-dev
-
-# Correct
-wheels db drop --database=my_app_dev
-```
-
-### "ORA-01918: user does not exist" (Oracle-specific)
-The Oracle user/schema doesn't exist. No action needed.
-
-### "ORA-28014: cannot drop administrative user" (Oracle-specific)
-Attempting to drop an Oracle system user. System users like SYS, SYSTEM, ADMIN, XDB cannot be dropped.
-
-**Fix:** Verify you're targeting the correct database. System users are protected and cannot be removed.
-
-### "Database file is locked" (SQLite-specific)
-The SQLite database file cannot be deleted because it's currently in use.
-
-**Fix:**
-```bash
-# Stop the server first
-box server stop
-
-# Wait a moment for file handles to release
-# Then try again
-wheels db drop
-```
-
-The command will automatically attempt to:
-1. Detect if the server is running
-2. Stop the server
-3. Retry deletion up to 5 times
-4. Wait 1 second between retries
-
-If the error persists:
-- Close any database tools (DB Browser for SQLite, etc.)
-- Check if another process has the file open
-- Wait a few seconds and try again
-
-### "No SQLite database files found" (SQLite-specific)
-The SQLite database file doesn't exist at the expected location.
-
-This is normal if:
-- The database was already dropped
-- The database was never created
-- A different database path is configured
-
-No action needed.
-
-### "File still locked after stopping server" (SQLite-specific)
-The database file remains locked even after stopping the server.
-
-**Fix:**
-1. Wait 10-30 seconds for Windows to release the file handle
-2. Close any open database management tools
-3. Check Task Manager for lingering processes
-4. Try the command again

-# dbmigrate create blank
-
-
-Create an empty database migration file with up and down methods.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create blank <name>
-```
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-This command supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Positional parameters**: `wheels dbmigrate create blank addIndexes` (name as positional)
-- **Named parameters**: `name=value` (e.g., `name=addIndexes`, `description="Add indexes"`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag=value` (e.g., `--name=addIndexes`)
-
-**Parameter Mixing Rules:**
-
-**ALLOWED:**
-- Positional: `wheels dbmigrate create blank addIndexes`
-- All named: `name=addIndexes description="Custom migration"`
-- Positional + named: `wheels dbmigrate create blank addIndexes description="Add indexes"`
-
-**NOT ALLOWED:**
-- Mixing positional + named for same parameter: `wheels dbmigrate create blank addIndexes name=other`
-
-**Recommendation:** Use positional for name, named for optional parameters: `wheels dbmigrate create blank addIndexes description="My migration"`
-
-## Description
-
-The `dbmigrate create blank` command generates a new empty migration file with the basic structure including `up()` and `down()` methods. This provides a starting point for custom migrations where you need full control over the migration logic.
-
-## Options
-
-### `--name`
-- **Type:** String
-- **Required:** Yes
-- **Description:** The name of the migration (will be prefixed with timestamp)
-
-
-### `--description`
-- **Type:** String
-- **Default:** Empty
-- **Description:** Add a description comment to the migration file
-
-## Examples
-
-### Create a basic empty migration
-```bash
-# Positional (recommended)
-wheels dbmigrate create blank add_custom_indexes
-
-# OR flag syntax
-wheels dbmigrate create blank --name=add_custom_indexes
-
-# OR named
-wheels dbmigrate create blank name=add_custom_indexes
-```
-
-### Create migration with description
-```bash
-# Positional + named (recommended)
-wheels dbmigrate create blank update_user_permissions description="Add role-based permissions to users"
-
-# OR all flags
-wheels dbmigrate create blank --name=update_user_permissions --description="Add role-based permissions to users"
-
-# OR all named
-wheels dbmigrate create blank name=update_user_permissions description="Add role-based permissions to users"
-```
-
-
-## Generated File Structure
-
-The command creates a file named `YYYYMMDDHHmmss_<name>.cfc` with the following structure:
-
-```cfml
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="<description>" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            // Add your migration code here
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            // Add code to reverse the migration
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Custom Database Operations
-For complex operations not covered by other generators:
-```bash
-# Create migration for custom stored procedure
-wheels dbmigrate create blank --name=create_reporting_procedures
-
-# Edit the file to add:
-# - CREATE PROCEDURE statements
-# - Complex SQL operations
-# - Multiple related changes
-```
-
-### Data Migrations
-When you need to migrate data, not just schema:
-```bash
-# Create data migration
-wheels dbmigrate create blank --name=normalize_user_emails
-
-# Edit to add data transformation logic
-# Example: lowercase all email addresses
-```
-
-### Multi-Step Operations
-For migrations requiring multiple coordinated changes:
-```bash
-# Create complex migration
-wheels dbmigrate create blank --name=refactor_order_system
-
-# Edit to include:
-# - Create new tables
-# - Migrate data
-# - Drop old tables
-# - Update foreign keys
-```
-
-### Database-Specific Features
-For database-specific features not abstracted by Wheels:
-```bash
-# Create migration for PostgreSQL-specific features
-wheels dbmigrate create blank --name=add_json_columns
-
-# Edit to use PostgreSQL JSON operations
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Descriptive Names
-Use clear, descriptive names that indicate the migration's purpose:
-```bash
-# Good
-wheels dbmigrate create blank --name=add_user_authentication_tokens
-
-# Bad
-wheels dbmigrate create blank --name=update1
-```
-
-### 2. Implement Both Methods
-Always implement both up() and down() methods:
-```cfml
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        execute("CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email)");
-    }
-}
-
-function down() {
-    transaction {
-        execute("DROP INDEX idx_users_email");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Use Transactions
-Wrap operations in transactions for atomicity:
-```cfml
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // All operations succeed or all fail
-        createTable("new_table");
-        execute("INSERT INTO new_table SELECT * FROM old_table");
-        dropTable("old_table");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Add Comments
-Document complex operations:
-```cfml
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Create composite index for query optimization
-        // This supports the findActiveUsersByRegion() query
-        execute("
-            CREATE INDEX idx_users_active_region 
-            ON users(is_active, region_id) 
-            WHERE is_active = 1
-        ");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Available Migration Methods
-
-Within your blank migration, you can use these helper methods:
-
-- `createTable(name, options)` - Create a new table
-- `dropTable(name)` - Drop a table
-- `addColumn(table, column, type, options)` - Add a column
-- `removeColumn(table, column)` - Remove a column
-- `changeColumn(table, column, type, options)` - Modify a column
-- `addIndex(table, columnNames, unique, indexName)` - Add an index
-- `removeIndex(table, column)` - Remove an index
-- `execute(sql)` - Execute raw SQL
-- `announce(message)` - Output a message during migration
-
-## Notes
-
-- Migration files are created in `/app/migrator/migrations/` or your configured migration path
-- The timestamp ensures migrations run in the correct order
-- Always test migrations in development before production
-- Keep migrations focused on a single purpose

-- `biginteger` - BIGINT
-- `float` - FLOAT
-- `decimal` - DECIMAL
-- `boolean` - BOOLEAN/BIT
-- `date` - DATE
-- `time` - TIME
-- `datetime` - DATETIME/TIMESTAMP
-- `timestamp` - TIMESTAMP

-
-## Migration File Naming
-
-The generated migration file will be named with a timestamp and description:
-```
-[timestamp]_[tablename]_[columnname]_create_column.cfc
-```
-
-Example:
-```
-20240125160000_user_email_create_column.cfc
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Add a simple column
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=email tableName=user dataType=string
-```
-
-### Add column with default value
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=is_active tableName=user dataType=boolean default=true
-```
-
-### Add nullable column with limit
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=bio tableName=user dataType=string allowNull=true limit=500
-```
-
-### Add decimal column with precision
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=price tableName=product dataType=decimal precision=10 scale=2
-```
-
-## Generated Migration Example
-
-For the command:
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=phone tableName=user dataType=string allowNull=true
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfml
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="create column phone in user table" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            addColumn(table="user", columnType="string", columnName="phone", allowNull=true);
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            removeColumn(table="user", column="phone");
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Adding User Preferences
-Add preference column to user table:
-```bash
-# Create separate migrations for each column
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=newsletter_subscribed tableName=user dataType=boolean default=true
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=theme_preference tableName=user dataType=string default="light"
-```
-
-### Adding Audit Fields
-Add tracking column to any table:
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=last_modified_by tableName=product dataType=integer allowNull=true
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=last_modified_at tableName=product dataType=datetime allowNull=true
-```
-
-### Adding Price Fields
-Add decimal columns for pricing:
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=price tableName=product dataType=decimal precision=10 scale=2 default=0
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=cost tableName=product dataType=decimal precision=10 scale=2
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Consider NULL Values
-For existing tables with data, make new columns nullable or provide defaults:
-```bash
-# Good - nullable
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=bio tableName=user dataType=text allowNull=true
-
-# Good - with default
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=status tableName=user dataType=string default="active"
-
-# Bad - will fail if table has data (not nullable, no default)
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=required_field tableName=user dataType=string --allowNull=false
-```
-
-### 2. Use Appropriate Types
-Choose the right column type for your data:
-```bash
-# For short text
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=username tableName=user dataType=string limit=50
-
-# For long text
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=content tableName=post dataType=text
-
-# For money
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=amount tableName=invoice dataType=decimal precision=10 scale=2
-```
-
-### 3. One Column Per Migration
-This command creates one column at a time:
-```bash
-# Create separate migrations for related columns
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=address_line1 tableName=customer dataType=string
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=city tableName=customer dataType=string
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=state tableName=customer dataType=string limit=2
-```
-
-### 4. Plan Your Schema
-Think through column requirements before creating:
-- Data type and size
-- Null constraints
-- Default values
-- Index requirements
-
-## Advanced Scenarios
-
-### Adding Foreign Keys
-Add foreign key columns with appropriate types:
-```bash
-# Add foreign key column
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=customer_id tableName=order dataType=integer
-
-# Then create index in separate migration
-wheels dbmigrate create blank name=add_order_customer_id_index
-```
-
-### Complex Column Types
-For special column types, use blank migrations:
-```bash
-# Create blank migration for custom column types
-wheels dbmigrate create blank name=add_user_preferences_json
-# Then manually add the column with custom SQL
-```
-
-## Common Pitfalls
-
-### 1. Non-Nullable Without Default
-```bash
-# This will fail if table has data
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=required_field tableName=user dataType=string --allowNull=false
-
-# Do this instead
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=required_field tableName=user dataType=string default="pending"
-```
-
-### 2. Changing Column Types
-This command adds columns, not modifies them:
-```bash
-# Wrong - trying to change existing column type
-wheels dbmigrate create column name=age tableName=user dataType=integer
-
-# Right - use blank migration for modifications
-wheels dbmigrate create blank name=change_user_age_to_integer
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- The migration includes automatic rollback with removeColumn()
-- Column order in down() is reversed for proper rollback
-- Always test migrations with data in development
-- Consider the impact on existing queries and code

-# dbmigrate create table
-
-Generate a migration file for creating a new database table.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=<table_name> [--force] [--id] primaryKey=<key_name>
-```
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-This command supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Named parameters**: `name=value` (e.g., `name=users`, `primaryKey=userId`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag` equals `flag=true` (e.g., `--force` equals `force=true`)
-- **Flag with value**: `--flag=value` equals `flag=value` (e.g., `--id=false`)
-

-
-**Recommendation:** Use named for required parameters, flags for booleans: `name=users --force`
-
-## Description
-
-The `dbmigrate create table` command generates a migration file that creates a new database table. The generated migration includes the table structure following Wheels conventions.
-
-## Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
-|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `name` | string | Yes | - | The name of the table to create |
-| `--force` | boolean | No | false | Force the creation of the table |
-| `--id` | boolean | No | true | Auto create ID column as autoincrement ID |
-| `primaryKey` | string | No | "id" | Overrides the default primary key column name |
-
-## Notes About Column Definition
-
-The generated migration file will contain a basic table structure. You'll need to manually edit the migration file to add columns with their types and options. The migration template includes comments showing how to add columns.
-
-## Examples
-
-### Create a basic table
-```bash
-# Named parameter (required)
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=users
-```
-
-### Create table without ID column
-```bash
-# Named + flag (recommended)
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=user_roles --id=false
-
-# OR all named
-wheels db create table name=user_roles id=false
-```
-
-### Create table with custom primary key
-```bash
-# Named parameters (recommended)
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=products primaryKey=productCode
-```
-
-### Force creation (overwrite existing)
-```bash
-# Named + flag (recommended)
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=users --force
-
-# OR all named
-wheels db create table name=users force=true
-```
-
-## Generated Migration Example
-
-For the command:
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=users
-```
-
-Generates a migration file that you can customize:
-```cfml
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="create users table" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            t = createTable(name="users", force=false, id=true, primaryKey="id");
-            // Add your columns here
-            // t.string(columnNames="name");
-            // t.integer(columnNames="age");
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            dropTable("users");
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Standard Entity Table
-Create a typical entity table:
-```bash
-# Generate the migration
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=customer
-
-# Then edit the migration file to add columns
-```
-
-### Join Table for Many-to-Many
-Create a join table without primary key:
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=products_categories --id=false
-```
-
-### Table with Custom Primary Key
-Create a table with non-standard primary key:
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=legacy_customer primaryKey=customer_code
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use Singular Table Names
-Wheels conventions expect singular table names:
-```bash
-# Good
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=user
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=product
-
-# Avoid
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=users
-wheels dbmigrate create table name=products
-```
-
-### 2. Edit Migration Files
-After generating the migration, edit it to add columns:
-```cfml
-// In the generated migration file
-t = createTable(name="orders", force=false, id=true, primaryKey="id");
-t.integer(columnNames="customer_id");
-t.decimal(columnNames="total", precision=10, scale=2);
-t.string(columnNames="status", default="pending");
-t.timestamps();
-t.create();
-```
-
-### 3. Plan Your Schema
-Think through your table structure before creating:
-- Primary key strategy
-- Required columns and their types
-- Foreign key relationships
-- Indexes needed for performance
-
-## Working with the Generated Migration
-
-The command generates a basic migration template. You'll need to edit it to add columns:
-
-```cfml
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            t = createTable(name="tableName", force=false, id=true, primaryKey="id");
-            // Add your columns here:
-            t.string(columnName="name");
-            t.integer(columnName="age");
-            t.boolean(columnName="active", default=true);
-            t.text(columnName="description");
-            // MySQL only: use size parameter for larger text fields
-            t.text(columnName="content", size="mediumtext"); // 16MB
-            t.text(columnName="largeContent", size="longtext"); // 4GB
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-        }
-    }
-    
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            dropTable("tableName");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- Table names should follow your database naming conventions
-- The migration automatically handles rollback with dropTable()
-- Column order in the command is preserved in the migration
-- Use `wheels dbmigrate up` to run the generated migration

-# wheels dbmigrate diff
-
-Generate an auto-migration from model/DB schema differences with rename detection.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate diff [modelName] [--rename=OLD:NEW] [--threshold=0.7] [--write] [--name=NAME]
-```
-
-Alias: `wheels db diff`
-
-## Description
-
-`wheels dbmigrate diff` compares a model's property definitions against the current database schema and generates a migration CFC describing the differences. Unlike simple schema diffs, it detects **column renames** via two mechanisms:
-
-1. **Explicit hints** (`--rename=OLD:NEW`) — you assert which removed column maps to which added column. Always authoritative.
-2. **Heuristic suggestions** — the detector pairs unclaimed removes with unclaimed adds using normalized-token match + Levenshtein scoring. Unambiguous exact matches (score 1.0) auto-confirm; lower scores appear as suggestions requiring `--rename` to commit.
-
-By default the command runs in **preview mode** — it prints what would change and does not touch the filesystem. Pass `--write` to emit a migration CFC to `app/migrator/migrations/`.
-
-## Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `modelName` | Optional. Model to diff. Omit to run `diffAll()` across all models. |
-| `--rename=OLD:NEW` | Rename hint. Repeatable. For `diffAll`, prefix with the model name: `--rename=User.old_col:newCol`. |
-| `--threshold=0.7` | Heuristic confidence cutoff. Range [0.0, 1.0]. |
-| `--write` | Write the migration file(s). Default: preview only. |
-| `--name=NAME` | Migration filename suffix. Single-model only. Default: `auto_<model>_changes`. |
-
-## How It Works
-
-1. The command sends a request to the running Wheels server.
-2. The server calls `AutoMigrator.diff(modelName, options)` or `diffAll(options)`.
-3. The diff engine:
-   - Computes raw adds/removes/changes by comparing model properties to DB columns.
-   - Applies explicit hints: each hint pair is validated (columns exist, types match) and moved into `renameColumns`.
-   - Runs heuristic similarity on remaining adds/removes.
-   - Pre-counts ambiguity across the candidate pool; greedy-assigns pairs by confidence.
-   - Score 1.0 unambiguous pairs auto-confirm; everything else is a suggestion.
-4. CLI renders a human-readable preview. If `--write`, the generated CFC is saved.
-
-## Example Output
-
-### Preview with a hint
-
-```
-$ wheels dbmigrate diff User --rename=full_name:fullName
-
-Diff for User (users)
-
-  Renames (will apply)
-    full_name -> fullName    [string]  (source: hint)
-    user_name -> username    [string]  (source: heuristic)
-
-  Suggested renames (pass --rename to confirm)
-    email_addr -> emailAddress    [string]  confidence: 0.75
-      wheels dbmigrate diff User --rename=email_addr:emailAddress
-
-  Adds
-    + bio    [text]
-
-  Removes
-    - legacy_flag    (will DROP)
-
-Preview only - no migration file written. Pass --write to commit.
-```
-
-### Ambiguous suggestion
-
-```
-  Suggested renames (pass --rename to confirm)
-    full_name -> fullName       [string]  confidence: 1.00 [AMBIGUOUS]
-      wheels dbmigrate diff User --rename=full_name:fullName
-    full_name -> displayName    [string]  confidence: 0.73 [AMBIGUOUS]
-      wheels dbmigrate diff User --rename=full_name:displayName
-```
-
-Even a score-1.0 match is demoted to a suggestion when it's part of an ambiguous set. Supply an explicit `--rename` to disambiguate.
-
-### Write mode
-
-```
-$ wheels dbmigrate diff User --rename=full_name:fullName --write
-
-[preview output]
-
-Migration file written. Run 'wheels dbmigrate latest' to apply.
-```
-
-### diffAll (no modelName)
-
-```
-$ wheels dbmigrate diff
-
-Diff across 3 model(s) with changes
-
-Diff for User (users)
-  Renames (will apply): full_name -> fullName
-  Adds: bio
-  Removes: legacy_flag
-
-Diff for Post (posts)
-  Suggested renames: body_text -> body (confidence 0.88)
-  pass --rename=Post.body_text:body to confirm
-
-Preview only - no migration files written. Pass --write to commit.
-```
-
-## Limitations
-
-- **Primary keys are never renamed.** PKs are excluded from the detector's input.
-- **Rename + type change requires separate migrations.** If a hint's pair has mismatched types, the command errors with `Wheels.RenameHintTypeMismatch`.
-- **Calculated properties** (defined via `property(sql="...")`) are excluded from the diff entirely.
-- **Column rename detection is name-based.** Content-based detection (comparing data) is not performed.
-
-## Errors
-
-| Error | Cause |
-|---|---|
-| `Wheels.InvalidRenameHint` | Hint references a column not in the removed-columns or added-columns set. |
-| `Wheels.RenameHintTypeMismatch` | Hint pair has different migration types. |
-| `Wheels.DuplicateRenameHint` | Two hints point to the same destination column. |
-| `Wheels.InvalidThreshold` | `--threshold` outside [0, 1]. |

-# dbmigrate down
-
-Rollback the last executed database migration.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate down
-```
-
-Alias: `wheels db down`
-
-## Description
-
-The `dbmigrate down` command reverses the last executed migration by running its `down()` method. This is useful for undoing database changes when issues are discovered or when you need to modify a migration. The command ensures safe rollback of schema changes while maintaining database integrity.
-
-## Parameters
-
-None.
-
-## Examples
-
-### Rollback the last migration
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate down
-```
-
-This will execute the down() method of the most recently applied migration, reverting the database changes.
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Fixing Migration Errors
-When a migration contains errors or needs modification:
-```bash
-# Run the migration
-wheels dbmigrate up
-
-# Discover an issue
-# Rollback the migration
-wheels dbmigrate down
-
-# Edit the migration file
-# Re-run the migration
-wheels dbmigrate up
-```
-
-### Development Iteration
-During development when refining migrations:
-```bash
-# Apply migration
-wheels dbmigrate up
-
-# Test the changes
-# Need to modify? Rollback
-wheels dbmigrate down
-
-# Make changes to migration
-# Apply again
-wheels dbmigrate up
-```
-
-### Emergency Rollback
-When a migration causes issues:
-```bash
-# Check current migration status
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Rollback the problematic migration
-wheels dbmigrate down
-
-# Verify rollback
-wheels dbmigrate info
-```
-
-## Important Considerations
-
-### Data Loss Warning
-Rolling back migrations that drop columns or tables will result in data loss. Always ensure you have backups before rolling back destructive migrations.
-
-### Down Method Requirements
-For a migration to be rolled back, it must have a properly implemented `down()` method that reverses the changes made in the `up()` method.
-
-### Migration Dependencies
-Be cautious when rolling back migrations that other migrations depend on. This can break the migration chain.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always implement down() methods**: Even if you think you'll never need to rollback
-2. **Test rollbacks**: In development, always test that your down() method works correctly
-3. **Backup before rollback**: Especially in production environments
-4. **Document destructive operations**: Clearly indicate when rollbacks will cause data loss
-
-## Notes
-
-- Only the last executed migration can be rolled back with this command
-- To rollback multiple migrations, run the command multiple times
-- If already at version 0, displays: "We're already on zero! No migrations to go to"
-- Automatically runs `dbmigrate info` after successful rollback
-- The migration version is removed from the database tracking table upon successful rollback
-- Some operations (like dropping columns with data) cannot be fully reversed
-- When migrating to version 0, displays: "Database should now be empty."

-# dbmigrate exec
-
-Execute a specific database migration by version number.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate exec version=<version>
-```
-
-Alias: `wheels db exec`
-
-## Description
-
-The `dbmigrate exec` command allows you to migrate to a specific version identified by its version number, regardless of the current migration state. This is useful for moving to any specific point in your migration history.
-
-## Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
-|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| `version` | string | Yes | Version to migrate to |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Execute a specific migration
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate exec version=20240115123456
-```
-
-### Migrate to version 0 (revert all migrations)
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate exec version=0
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Migrating to a Specific Version
-Move to any point in migration history:
-```bash
-# Check current status
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Migrate to specific version
-wheels dbmigrate exec version=20240115123456
-```
-
-### Rolling Back to Previous Version
-Move to an earlier migration state:
-```bash
-# Check migration history
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Go back to specific version
-wheels dbmigrate exec version=20240101000000
-```
-
-### Reset Database
-Clear all migrations:
-```bash
-# Migrate to version 0
-wheels dbmigrate exec version=0
-
-# Verify empty state
-wheels dbmigrate info
-```
-
-## Important Considerations
-
-### Migration Order
-Executing migrations out of order can cause issues if migrations have dependencies. Always ensure that any required preceding migrations have been run.
-
-### Version Tracking
-The command updates the migration tracking table to reflect the execution status.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Check Dependencies**: Ensure required migrations are already applied
-2. **Test First**: Run in development/testing before production
-3. **Use Sparingly**: Prefer normal migration flow with up/latest
-4. **Document Usage**: Record when and why specific executions were done
-5. **Verify State**: Check migration status before and after execution
-
-## Version Number Format
-
-Migration versions are typically timestamps in the format:
-- `YYYYMMDDHHmmss` (e.g., 20240115123456)
-- Year: 2024
-- Month: 01
-- Day: 15
-- Hour: 12
-- Minute: 34
-- Second: 56
-
-## Notes
-
-- The command will migrate UP or DOWN to reach the specified version
-- Version must be a valid migration version or 0 to reset all
-- The migration file must exist in the migrations directory
-- The command displays the migration progress message
-- Both up() and down() methods should be defined in the migration

-
-## Migration Files Location
-
-Migrations are stored in `/app/migrator/migrations/` and follow the naming convention:
-```
-[timestamp]_[description].cfc
-```
-
-Example:
-```
-20240125160000_create_users_table.cfc
-```
-
-## Understanding Version Numbers
-
-- Version numbers are timestamps in format: `YYYYMMDDHHmmss`
-- Higher numbers are newer migrations
-- Migrations run in chronological order
-
-## Database Schema Table
-
-Migration status is tracked in `c_o_r_e_migrator_versions` table:
-
-```sql
-SELECT * FROM c_o_r_e_migrator_versions;
-+----------------+
-| version        |
-+----------------+
-| 20240101100000 |
-| 20240105150000 |
-| 20240110090000 |
-| 20240115120000 |
-+----------------+
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-1. **Check before deployment**
-   ```bash
-   wheels dbmigrate info
-   ```
-
-2. **Verify after migration**
-   ```bash
-   wheels dbmigrate latest
-   wheels dbmigrate info
-   ```
-
-3. **Troubleshoot issues**
-   - See which migrations have run
-   - Identify pending migrations
-   - Confirm database version
-
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Migration Not Showing
-- Check file is in `/app/migrator/migrations/`
-- Verify `.cfc` extension
-- Ensure proper timestamp format
-
-### Version Mismatch
-- Check `c_o_r_e_migrator_versions` table
-- Verify migration files haven't been renamed
-- Look for duplicate timestamps
-
-### Connection Issues
-- Verify datasource configuration
-- Check database credentials
-- Ensure database server is running
-
-## Integration with CI/CD
-
-Use in deployment scripts:
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-# Check migration status
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Run if needed
-if [[ $(wheels dbmigrate info | grep "pending") ]]; then
-    echo "Running pending migrations..."
-    wheels dbmigrate latest
-fi
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. Always check info before running migrations
-2. Review pending migrations before deployment
-3. Keep migration files in version control
-4. Don't modify completed migration files
-5. Use info to verify production deployments

-## Migration Execution
-
-Each migration file must contain:
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-
-    function up() {
-        // Database changes go here
-        transaction {
-            // Use transaction for safety
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        // Rollback logic (optional)
-        transaction {
-            // Reverse the up() changes
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Transaction Safety
-
-Migrations run within transactions:
-- All changes in a migration succeed or fail together
-- Database remains consistent
-- Failed migrations can be retried
-
-## Common Migration Operations
-
-### Create Table
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        t = createTable("products");
-        t.string("name");
-        t.decimal("price");
-        t.timestamps();
-        t.create();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Add Column
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        addColumn(table="users", columnNames="email", type="string");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Add Index
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        addIndex(table="users", columnNames="email", unique=true);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Modify Column
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        changeColumn(table="products", columnNames="price", type="decimal", precision=10, scale=2);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Test migrations locally first**
-   ```bash
-   # Test on development database
-   wheels dbmigrate latest
-   
-   # Verify
-   wheels dbmigrate info
-   ```
-
-2. **Backup before production migrations**
-   ```bash
-   # Backup database
-   mysqldump myapp_production > backup.sql
-   
-   # Run migrations
-   wheels dbmigrate latest
-   ```
-
-3. **Use transactions**
-   ```cfc
-   function up() {
-       transaction {
-           // All changes here
-       }
-   }
-   ```
-
-4. **Make migrations reversible**
-   ```cfc
-   function down() {
-       transaction {
-           dropTable("products");
-       }
-   }
-   ```
-
-## Environment-Specific Migrations
-
-Migrations can check environment:
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Always run
-        addColumn(table="users", column="lastLogin", type="datetime");
-        
-        // Development only
-        if (get("environment") == "development") {
-            // Add test data
-            sql("INSERT INTO users (email) VALUES ('test@example.com')");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Checking Migrations
-
-Preview migrations before running:
-
-```bash
-# Check what would run
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Review migration files
-ls app/migrator/migrations/
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-For large tables:
-
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Add index concurrently (if supported)
-        if (get("databaseType") == "postgresql") {
-            sql("CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_email ON users(email)");
-        } else {
-            addIndex(table="users", columns="email");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Continuous Integration
-
-Add to CI/CD pipeline:
-
-```yaml
-# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
-- name: Run migrations
-  run: |
-    wheels dbmigrate latest
-    wheels test app
-```
-
-## Rollback Strategy
-
-If issues occur after migration:
-
-1. **Use down migrations**
-   ```bash
-   wheels dbmigrate down
-   wheels dbmigrate down
-   ```
-
-2. **Restore from backup**
-   ```bash
-   mysql myapp_production < backup.sql
-   ```
-
-3. **Fix and retry**
-   - Fix migration file
-   - Run `wheels dbmigrate latest`
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### Timeout on Large Tables
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    // Increase timeout for large operations
-    setting requestTimeout="300";
-    
-    transaction {
-        // Long running operation
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Foreign Key Constraints
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        // Disable checks temporarily
-        sql("SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0");
-        
-        // Make changes
-        dropTable("orders");
-        
-        // Re-enable
-        sql("SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1");
-    }
-}
-```

-```
-
-Alias: `wheels db remove table`
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-This command supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Named parameters**: `name=value` (e.g., `name=users`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag=value` (e.g., `--name=users`)
-

-
-**Recommendation:** Use named parameters: `wheels dbmigrate remove table name=users`
-
-## Description
-
-The `dbmigrate remove table` command generates a migration file that drops an existing database table. The generated migration includes a dropTable() call in the up() method.
-
-## Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
-|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| `name` | string | Yes | The name of the table to remove |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic table removal
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=temp_import_data
-```
-
-### Remove user table
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=user
-```
-
-### Remove archive table
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=orders_archive_2023
-```
-
-## Generated Migration Example
-
-For the command:
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=product_archive
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfml
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="remove product_archive table" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            dropTable("product_archive");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            // Add code here to recreate the table if needed for rollback
-            // createTable(name="product_archive") { ... }
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Removing Temporary Tables
-Clean up temporary or staging tables:
-```bash
-# Remove import staging table
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=temp_customer_import
-
-# Remove data migration table
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=migration_backup_20240115
-```
-
-### Refactoring Database Schema
-Remove tables during schema refactoring:
-```bash
-# Remove old table after data migration
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=legacy_orders
-
-# Remove deprecated table
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=user_preferences_old
-```
-
-### Cleaning Up Failed Features
-Remove tables from cancelled features:
-```bash
-# Remove tables from abandoned feature
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=beta_feature_data
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=beta_feature_settings
-```
-
-### Archive Table Cleanup
-Remove old archive tables:
-```bash
-# Remove yearly archive tables
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=orders_archive_2020
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=orders_archive_2021
-```
-
-## Safety Considerations
-
-### Data Loss Warning
-**CRITICAL**: Dropping a table permanently deletes all data. Always:
-1. Backup the table data before removal
-2. Verify data has been migrated if needed
-3. Test in development/staging first
-4. Have a rollback plan
-
-### Dependent Objects
-Consider objects that depend on the table:
-- Foreign key constraints
-- Views
-- Stored procedures
-- Triggers
-- Application code
-
-### Handling Dependencies
-Be aware of dependent objects when removing tables:
-- Foreign key constraints
-- Views that reference the table
-- Stored procedures using the table
-- Application code dependencies
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Document Removals
-Add clear documentation about why the table is being removed:
-```bash
-# Create descriptive migration
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=obsolete_analytics_cache
-
-# Then edit the migration file to add detailed comments about why it's being removed
-```
-
-### 2. Backup Data First
-Before removing tables, create data backups:
-```bash
-# First backup the data
-wheels db schema format=sql > backup_before_removal.sql
-
-# Then create removal migration
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=user_preferences
-```
-
-### 3. Staged Removal
-For production systems, consider staged removal:
-```bash
-# Stage 1: Rename table (keep for rollback)
-wheels dbmigrate create blank name=rename_orders_to_orders_deprecated
-
-# Stage 2: After verification period, remove
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=orders_deprecated
-```
-
-### 4. Check Dependencies
-Verify no active dependencies before removal:
-```sql
--- Check foreign keys
-SELECT * FROM information_schema.referential_constraints 
-WHERE referenced_table_name = 'table_name';
-
--- Check views
-SELECT * FROM information_schema.views 
-WHERE table_schema = DATABASE() 
-AND view_definition LIKE '%table_name%';
-```
-
-## Migration Structure
-
-The generated migration contains:
-- An `up()` method with `dropTable()` 
-- An empty `down()` method for you to implement rollback logic if needed
-
-You should edit the `down()` method to add table recreation logic if you want the migration to be reversible.
-
-## Recovery Strategies
-
-### If Removal Was Mistake
-1. Don't run the migration in production
-2. Use `wheels dbmigrate down` if already run
-3. Restore from backup if down() fails
-
-### Preserving Table Structure
-Before removal, capture structure:
-```bash
-# Export entire database schema
-wheels db schema format=sql --save file=schema_backup.sql
-
-# Then remove table
-wheels dbmigrate remove table name=user_preferences
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- The command analyzes table structure before generating migration
-- Foreign key constraints must be removed before table removal
-- The migration is reversible if table structure is preserved
-- Always review generated migration before running

-# dbmigrate reset
-
-Reset all database migrations by migrating to version 0.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate reset
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `dbmigrate reset` command resets your database by migrating to version 0, effectively rolling back all executed migrations. This is useful during development when you need to start fresh.
-
-## Parameters
-
-None.
-
-## Examples
-
-### Reset all migrations
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate reset
-```
-
-This will migrate the database to version 0, rolling back all migrations.
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Fresh Development Database
-Start with a clean slate during development:
-```bash
-# Reset all migrations
-wheels dbmigrate reset
-
-# Re-run all migrations
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-
-# Seed with test data
-wheels db seed
-```
-
-### Testing Migration Sequence
-Verify that all migrations run correctly from scratch:
-```bash
-# Reset all migrations
-wheels dbmigrate reset
-
-# Run migrations one by one to test
-wheels dbmigrate up
-wheels dbmigrate up
-# ... continue as needed
-```
-
-### Fixing Migration Order Issues
-When migrations have dependency problems:
-```bash
-# Reset all migrations
-wheels dbmigrate reset
-
-# Manually fix migration files
-# Re-run all migrations
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-### Continuous Integration Setup
-Reset database for each test run:
-```bash
-# CI script
-wheels dbmigrate reset
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-wheels test run
-```
-
-## Important Warnings
-
-### Data Loss
-**WARNING**: This command will result in complete data loss as it rolls back all migrations. Always ensure you have proper backups before running this command, especially in production environments.
-
-### Production Usage
-Using this command in production is strongly discouraged. If you must use it in production:
-1. Take a complete database backup
-2. Put the application in maintenance mode
-3. Have a rollback plan ready
-
-### Migration Dependencies
-The reset process rolls back migrations in reverse chronological order. Ensure all your down() methods are properly implemented.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Development Only**: Primarily use this command in development environments
-2. **Backup First**: Always backup your database before resetting
-3. **Test Down Methods**: Ensure all migrations have working down() methods
-4. **Document Usage**: If used in production, document when and why
-
-## Process Flow
-
-1. Displays "Resetting Database Schema"
-2. Executes `dbmigrate exec version=0`
-3. Automatically runs `dbmigrate info` to show the reset status
-
-## Notes
-
-- The command will fail if any migration's down() method fails
-- Migration files must still exist for rollback to work
-- The migration tracking table itself is preserved
-- Use `wheels dbmigrate info` after reset to verify status
-
-## Related Commands
-
-- [`wheels dbmigrate up`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-up/) - Run the next migration
-- [`wheels dbmigrate down`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-down/) - Rollback last migration
-- [`wheels dbmigrate latest`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-latest/) - Run all pending migrations
-- [`wheels dbmigrate info`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-info/) - View migration status

-# dbmigrate up
-
-Run the next pending database migration.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate up
-```
-
-Alias: `wheels db up`
-
-## Description
-
-The `dbmigrate up` command executes the next pending migration in your database migration queue. This command is used to incrementally apply database changes one migration at a time, allowing for controlled and reversible database schema updates.
-
-## Parameters
-
-None.
-
-## Examples
-
-### Run the next pending migration
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate up
-```
-
-This will execute the next migration in the sequence and update the database schema version.
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Incremental Database Updates
-When you want to apply database changes one at a time rather than all at once:
-```bash
-# Check pending migrations
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Apply next migration
-wheels dbmigrate up
-
-# Verify the change
-wheels dbmigrate info
-```
-
-### Controlled Migration Application
-Apply migrations one at a time for better control:
-```bash
-# Check current status
-wheels dbmigrate info
-
-# Apply next migration
-wheels dbmigrate up
-
-# Verify the change was applied
-wheels dbmigrate info
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- Migrations are executed in chronological order based on their timestamps
-- Each migration is tracked in the database to prevent duplicate execution
-- If already at latest version, displays: "We're all up to date already!"
-- If no more versions available, displays: "No more versions to go to?"
-- Automatically runs `dbmigrate info` after successful migration
-- Always backup your database before running migrations in production
-
-## Related Commands
-
-- [`wheels dbmigrate down`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-down/) - Rollback the last migration
-- [`wheels dbmigrate latest`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-latest/) - Run all pending migrations
-- [`wheels dbmigrate info`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-info/) - View migration status
-- [`wheels dbmigrate reset`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-reset/) - Reset all migrations

-## Best Practices
-
-### Deployment Safety
-1. **Always Test First** - Deploy to staging before production
-2. **Backup Before Deploy** - Create backups before any deployment
-3. **Monitor After Deploy** - Watch application metrics post-deployment
-4. **Rollback Plan** - Have tested rollback procedures ready
-5. **Gradual Rollouts** - Use canary or blue-green deployments for safety
-
-### Automation Principles
-1. **Repeatable Process** - Same deployment process across environments
-2. **Version Everything** - Track versions of code, config, and dependencies
-3. **Fail Fast** - Stop deployment immediately on any failures
-4. **Observable Deployments** - Full visibility into deployment process
-5. **Recovery Procedures** - Automated rollback and disaster recovery
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-1. **Connection Failures** - Check network connectivity and credentials
-2. **Permission Errors** - Verify deployment user has required permissions
-3. **Migration Failures** - Review database migration logs and rollback
-4. **Service Startup Issues** - Check application logs and configuration
-5. **Asset Problems** - Verify static asset deployment and CDN updates
-
-### Debugging Commands
-```bash
-# Verbose deployment output
-wheels deploy push --environment=production --verbose
-
-# Check deployment prerequisites
-wheels deploy audit --environment=production --pre-check
-
-# View detailed logs
-wheels deploy logs --environment=production --verbose --lines=500
-```

-# wheels docker build
-
-Unified Docker build command for Wheels apps. Builds Docker images locally or on remote servers. This is useful for creating images that can be deployed later, testing build processes, or preparing images for remote deployment.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before using this command, you must first initialize Docker configuration files:
-
-```bash
-wheels docker init
-```
-
-This will create the necessary `Dockerfile` and optionally `docker-compose.yml` files in your project directory.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels docker build [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels docker build` command handles the building of Docker images for your application. It can build images on your local machine or trigger builds on configured remote servers. 
-
-**Centralized Configuration**:
-- **Source of Truth**: This command prioritizes settings from `config/deploy.yml` for server lists and image repository names.
-- **Strategy Detection**: It automatically detects if you are using a `docker-compose.yml` file or a standalone `Dockerfile` and adjusts its build strategy accordingly.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--local` | Build Docker image on local machine | `true` |
-| `--remote` | Build Docker image on remote server(s) | `false` |
-| `--servers` | Comma-separated list of server numbers to build on (e.g., "1,3,5") - for remote only | `""` |
-| `--nocache` | Build without using cache | `false` |
-| `--pull` | Always attempt to pull a newer version of the base image | `false` |
-
-**Note**: If neither `--local` nor `--remote` is specified, `--local` is used by default.
-
-## Detailed Examples
-
-### Local Development Builds
-
-**Standard Build**
-Builds the image using the `Dockerfile` in the current directory.
-```bash
-wheels docker build --local
-```
-
-**Force Rebuild**
-If you've changed base image dependencies or want to ensure a clean build, use `--nocache` and `--pull`.
-```bash
-wheels docker build --local --nocache --pull
-```
-
-### Remote Server Builds
-
-**Build on All Servers**
-Triggers the build process on every server listed in your `config/deploy.yml` (or legacy `deploy-servers.txt`/`deploy-servers.json`).
-```bash
-wheels docker build --remote
-```
-
-**Build on Specific Servers**
-Useful if you want to update only a subset of servers (e.g., only the staging servers).
-```bash
-# Build only on the first and third server defined in your config
-wheels docker build --remote --servers=1,3
-```
-
-**Remote Build with Cache Busting**
-Forces the remote servers to pull fresh base images and ignore build cache.
-```bash
-wheels docker build --remote --nocache --pull
-```
-
-### Remote Build Requirements
-
-If you plan to use --remote builds, your server must be prepared to allow automated SSH execution and Docker access.
-
-The Wheels CLI executes Docker commands remotely over SSH, for example:
-```bash
-ssh user@host "docker ps"
-ssh user@host "docker compose build"
-```
-Because these commands run non-interactively, the server must support passwordless SSH authentication and the user must have permission to run Docker commands.
-
-#### Configure Passwordless SSH Access
-
-Generate an SSH key if you do not already have one:
-```bash
-ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
-```
-Press Enter to accept the default location.
-
-Copy your public key to the remote server:
-```bash
-ssh-copy-id user@host
-```
-Verify that you can log in without entering a password:
-```bash
-ssh user@host
-```
-If configured correctly, the connection should work without prompting for a password.
-
-#### Ensure Docker Permissions
-
-The remote user must have permission to run Docker commands. Otherwise you may see an error such as:
-```
-permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket
-```
-Add the user to the Docker group on the remote server:
-```bash
-sudo usermod -aG docker user
-```
-Apply the group changes:
-```bash
-newgrp docker
-```
-Alternatively, log out and log back into the server.
-
-Verify Docker access:
-```bash
-docker ps
-```
-If this command runs successfully without sudo, the server is correctly configured.
-
-## How It Works
-
-### Local Build Strategy (`--local`)
-
-1.  **Prerequisite Check**: Verifies that Docker is installed and running.
-2.  **Compose Detection**:
-    *   **If `docker-compose.yml` exists**: It executes `docker compose build`. This is ideal for complex apps with multiple services (app, db, redis).
-    *   **If only `Dockerfile` exists**: It executes `docker build -t [tag] .`.
-
-### Remote Build Strategy (`--remote`)
-
-1.  **Server Connection**: Reads your server config and connects via SSH.
-2.  **Environment Prep**:
-    *   Checks if the remote directory exists.
-    *   **Auto-Upload**: If the directory is missing, it automatically tars and uploads your source code to the server.
-3.  **Remote Execution**:
-    *   It intelligently detects if the remote user has `docker` group privileges.
-    *   If not, it attempts to use `sudo` for docker commands.
-    *   It runs the appropriate build command (Compose or Standard) on the remote host.
-
-## Server Configuration
- 
-This command looks for server configurations in this order of priority:
- 
-**Option A: `config/deploy.yml` (Recommended)**
-The primary source of truth for all Wheels Docker operations.
-```yaml
-name: myapp
-image: myuser/myapp
-servers:
-  - host: 192.168.1.100
-    user: ubuntu
-    role: production
-```
-
-**Option B: `deploy-servers.json` (Legacy)**
-```json
-{
-  "servers": [
-    {
-      "host": "192.168.1.100",
-      "user": "ubuntu",
-      "port": 22,
-      "remoteDir": "/var/www/myapp",
-      "imageName": "custom-image-name"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
- 
-**Option C: `deploy-servers.txt` (Legacy)**
-Space-separated columns: Host, User, Port (optional).
-```text
-# Host          User    Port
-192.168.1.100   ubuntu  22
-prod-1.example.com deploy 2202
-prod-2.example.com deploy 2202
-```
-
-If **port is omitted**, it defaults to:
-```text
-22
-```
-
-**Extended Format (Recommended for Remote Builds)**
-
-You can optionally define:
-
-- remoteDir → Directory where the app lives on the server
-- imageName → Custom image name override
-```text
-# Host                User        Port   RemoteDir               ImageName
-192.168.1.100         ubuntu      22     /var/www/myapp          myapp-prod
-staging.example.com   deploy      2222   /home/deploy/app        myapp-staging
-```
-
-## Build vs Deploy
-
-Understanding when to use `build` vs `deploy`:
-
-### Use `wheels docker build` when:
-- You want to create an image without running it
-- Testing Docker configuration changes
-- Preparing images for later deployment
-- Building on CI/CD pipeline
-- Building on remote servers for later use
-
-### Use `wheels docker deploy` when:
-- You want to build AND run the application
-- Deploying to servers with containers running
-- Full deployment workflow needed
-- Starting services immediately
-
-### Combined Workflow:
-```bash
-# 1. Build the image
-wheels docker build --nocache
-
-# 2. Test locally if needed
-docker run -d -p 8080:8080 myapp:v1.0.0
-
-# 3. Deploy to remote servers
-wheels docker deploy --remote --blueGreen
-```
-
-## Monitoring Build Progress
-
-### Local Monitoring
-
-Build progress is shown in real-time:
-```bash
-wheels docker build --local
-# Output shows:
-# - Layer building
-# - Cache usage
-# - Final image ID and size
-```
-
-### Remote Monitoring
-
-For remote builds, watch SSH output:
-```bash
-wheels docker build --remote
-# Output shows:
-# - SSH connection status
-# - Source upload progress
-# - Build step output from remote server
-# - Success/failure summary
-```
-
-To monitor manually on remote server:
-```bash
-# In another terminal
-ssh user@host "docker ps"
-ssh user@host "docker images"
-```

-# wheels docker deploy
-
-Unified Docker deployment command for Wheels apps. Deploys applications locally or to remote servers with support for Blue/Green deployment.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels docker deploy [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels docker deploy` command manages the deployment lifecycle of your Dockerized application. It can start containers locally for development or testing, and perform robust deployments to remote servers, including zero-downtime Blue/Green deployments.
-
-**Centralized Configuration**:
-- **Source of Truth**: This command prioritizes settings from `config/deploy.yml` for server lists and target environments.
-- **Interactive Versioning**: When multiple images or tags are detected, the command provides an interactive picker to choose exactly which version to deploy.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--local` | Deploy to local Docker environment | `true` |
-| `--remote` | Deploy to remote server(s) | `false` |
-| `--serversFile` | Server configuration file (defaults to `config/deploy.yml`) | `""` |
-| `--skipDockerCheck` | Skip Docker installation check on remote servers | `false` |
-| `--blueGreen` | Enable Blue/Green deployment strategy (zero downtime) - for remote deployment | `false` |
-
-**Note**: If neither `--local` nor `--remote` is specified, `--local` is used by default.
-
-## Detailed Examples
-
-### Local Deployment
-
-**Quick Start (Production Mode)**
-Starts the application locally, mimicking a production environment (optimized settings, no hot-reload).
-```bash
-wheels docker deploy --local
-```
-
-### Remote Deployment
-
-**Standard Deployment**
-Deploys to all servers defined in your configuration (starting with `config/deploy.yml`). This stops the existing container, pulls/builds the new one, and starts it.
-```bash
-wheels docker deploy --remote
-```
-
-**Zero-Downtime Blue/Green Deployment**
-Uses a Blue/Green strategy to ensure no downtime. Requires Nginx (automatically handled).
-```bash
-wheels docker deploy --remote --blueGreen
-```
-
-**Deploy to Specific Servers**
-Uses an override server list file for deployment.
-```bash
-wheels docker deploy --remote --serversFile=staging-servers.yml
-```
-
-**Skip Docker Checks**
-Speeds up deployment if you know Docker is already installed and configured on the remote servers.
-```bash
-wheels docker deploy --remote --skipDockerCheck
-```
-
-## Deployment Strategies Explained
-
-### 1. Standard Remote Deployment
-This is the default strategy when `--remote` is used.
-1.  **Upload**: Tars and uploads your project source code to the remote server.
-2.  **Build/Compose**:
-    *   If `docker-compose.yml` exists: Runs `docker compose down` followed by `docker compose up -d --build`.
-    *   If `Dockerfile` exists: Builds the image, stops/removes the old container, and runs the new one.
-3.  **Downtime**: There is a short period (seconds to minutes) where the service is unavailable while the container restarts.
-
-### 2. Blue/Green Deployment (`--blueGreen`)
-This strategy is designed for zero-downtime updates.
-1.  **State Detection**: The script checks which "color" (Blue or Green) is currently active.
-2.  **Parallel Deployment**: It spins up the *new* version (e.g., Green) alongside the *old* version (Blue).
-3.  **Health Check**: It waits for the new container to initialize.
-4.  **Traffic Switch**: It updates an Nginx proxy to point traffic to the new container.
-5.  **Cleanup**: The old container is stopped and removed.
-*   **Requirement**: This strategy automatically sets up an `nginx-proxy` container on the remote server if one doesn't exist.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**"User requires passwordless sudo access"**
-If the remote user is not part of the `docker` group, the CLI tries to use `sudo`. If `sudo` requires a password, deployment will fail.
-*   **Fix**: SSH into the server and run `sudo usermod -aG docker $USER`, then log out and back in. Or configure passwordless sudo.
-
-**"SSH connection failed"**
-*   **Fix**: Ensure your SSH keys are correctly loaded (`ssh-add -l`) and you can manually SSH into the server (`ssh user@host`).
-
-**"Deployment script failed"**
-*   **Fix**: Run with verbose output or check the logs on the remote server. Ensure the remote server has enough disk space.
-
-## Server Configuration
-
-See [wheels docker build](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/docker/docker-build/#server-configuration) for details on `deploy-servers.txt` and `deploy-servers.json`.
-
-## Security Notes
-
-1. **SSH Keys**: Use SSH key authentication instead of passwords
-2. **Sudo Access**: Configure minimal sudo permissions for production
-3. **Firewall**: Ensure proper firewall rules are in place
-4. **Docker Socket**: The deployment sets permissions on `/var/run/docker.sock` for convenience; review for production security
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Test Locally First**: Always test deployments locally before remote deployment
-2. **Use Blue/Green for Production**: Minimize downtime with `--blueGreen` flag
-3. **Version Control**: Keep `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml` in version control
-4. **Environment-Specific Configs**: Use different configuration files for staging/production
-5. **Monitor Resources**: Keep track of Docker resource usage on remote servers
-6. **Backup Data**: Always backup databases before major deployments
-7. **Rollback Plan**: Keep previous images for quick rollback if needed

-# wheels docker exec
-
-Execute commands in deployed containers. Works for both local and remote containers.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels docker exec [options] "command"
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels docker exec` command allows you to run arbitrary commands inside your running containers. It automatically locates the correct container based on the service name (e.g., `app`, `db`) and handles SSH connections for remote execution.
-
-**Centralized Configuration**:
-- **Source of Truth**: This command prioritizes settings from `config/deploy.yml` for server lists and project names.
-- **Interactive TTY**: The `--interactive` flag provides a full TTY session, allowing you to run shells, REPLs, and database clients with proper signal handling (e.g., `Ctrl+C`).
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `command` | Command to execute in container | Required |
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--servers` | Specific servers to execute on (defaults to `config/deploy.yml`) | `""` |
-| `--service` | Service to execute in: `app` or `db` | `app` |
-| `--interactive` | Run command interactively with full TTY support | `false` |
-| `--local` | Execute in local container | `true` |
-| `--remote` | Execute in remote container | `false` |
-
-**Note**: If neither `--local` nor `--remote` is specified, `--local` is used by default.
-
-## Detailed Examples
-
-### Basic Execution
-
-**List Files**
-Quickly check the file structure inside your running application container.
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "ls -la /app"
-```
-
-**Check Database Connectivity**
-Verify that your application container can reach the database service.
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "curl -v http://db:3306" --remote
-```
-
-**Run a CFML Script**
-Execute a specific ColdFusion script or task using CommandBox.
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "box task run myTask"
-```
-
-### Interactive Sessions
-
-**CommandBox REPL**
-Start an interactive CommandBox shell to run ad-hoc CFML code.
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "box repl" --interactive
-```
-
-**Database Shell**
-Connect directly to the database container's shell.
-```bash
-# For MySQL
-wheels docker exec "mysql -u wheels -pwheels wheels" --service=db --interactive
-```
-
-**System Shell**
-Get a bash shell inside the container for debugging.
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "bash" --interactive
-```
-
-### Remote Execution
-
-**Tail Logs on Remote Server**
-View the live application log file on a specific remote server.
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "tail -f logs/application.log" --servers=web1.example.com --remote
-```
-
-**Run Command on All Servers**
-Execute a command across all servers defined in your configuration (non-interactive only).
-```bash
-# Clear cache on all servers
-wheels docker exec "box task run clearCache" --remote
-```
-
-**Target Specific Service**
-Run a command inside the database container instead of the app container.
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "ps aux" --service=db --remote
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-*   **Interactive Mode**: When using `--interactive`, you can only target a single server. Attempting to run interactive commands on multiple servers simultaneously will result in an error.
-*   **Service Discovery**: The command attempts to find the container name automatically. It looks for containers matching your project name and service (e.g., `myproject-app`, `myproject-db`). It also correctly identifies active containers in Blue/Green deployments (e.g., `myproject-app-green`).
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Quote All Complex Commands
-
-Always quote commands to avoid shell interpretation issues:
-
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "command arg1 arg2"
-```
-
-### 2. Test Commands Locally First
-
-Before running on remote servers:
-
-```bash
-# Test locally
-wheels docker exec "ls -la" --local
-
-# Then run remotely
-wheels docker exec "ls -la"
-```
-
-### 3. Use Specific Server Selection
-
-For interactive sessions, always specify a single server:
-
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "/bin/bash" --remote --servers=web1.example.com --interactive
-```
-
-### 4. Specify Service for Database Commands
-
-Always use `service=db` for database operations:
-
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "mysql -u root -p" --service=db --interactive
-```
-
-### 5. Avoid Long-Running Commands on Multiple Servers
-
-Long commands on multiple servers can be difficult to monitor:
-
-```bash
-# Better: Run on one server at a time
-wheels docker exec "long-running-task" --servers=web1.example.com
-wheels docker exec "long-running-task" ---servers=web2.example.com
-```
-
-### 6. Use Non-Interactive Mode for Scripts
-
-For automated tasks, avoid interactive mode:
-
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "mysql -u root -ppass -e 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users;'" --service=db
-```
-
-### 7. Check Exit Codes
-
-The command returns Docker exec exit codes (130 = Ctrl+C is acceptable):
-
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "test -f /app/config.cfm" && echo "File exists"
-```
-
-### 8. Be Careful with Destructive Commands
-
-Always double-check before running destructive operations:
-
-```bash
-# Dangerous! Make sure you mean it
-wheels docker exec "rm -rf /app/temp/*"
-```
-
-### 9. Use Absolute Paths
-
-Avoid confusion by using absolute paths:
-
-```bash
-wheels docker exec "ls /app/logs" instead of "ls logs"
-```
-
-### 10. Handle Secrets Carefully
-
-Avoid putting passwords in commands when possible:
-
-```bash
-# Bad: Password visible in command
-wheels docker exec "mysql -u root -pMyPassword" --service=db
-
-# Better: Use interactive mode
-wheels docker exec "mysql -u root -p" --service=db --interactive
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Command Hangs
-
-If a command hangs:
-1. Press `Ctrl+C` to interrupt
-2. Check if command requires input
-3. Use `--interactive` if needed
-4. Verify container is responsive:
-   ```bash
-   wheels docker exec "echo test"
-   ```
-
-### Output Not Showing
-
-If output doesn't appear:
-1. Check if command produces output:
-   ```bash
-   wheels docker exec "ls -la"
-   ```
-2. Redirect stderr to stdout:
-   ```bash
-   wheels docker exec "command 2>&1"
-   ```
-
-### Interactive Mode Not Working
-
-If interactive mode fails:
-1. Verify single server selection
-2. Check TTY support:
-   ```bash
-   wheels docker exec "tty" --interactive
-   ```
-3. Test SSH TTY allocation:
-   ```bash
-   ssh -t user@server
-   ```
-
-## Additional Notes
-
-- Commands are executed inside running containers using `docker exec`
-- SSH connections use key-based authentication
-- Exit code 0 indicates success, 130 indicates Ctrl+C interrupt (acceptable)
-- Interactive mode requires TTY allocation on both SSH and Docker levels
-- Multiple server execution is sequential, not parallel
-- Commands run with the container's default user (usually root or app user)
-- Working directory depends on container's WORKDIR setting
-- Container must be running for exec to work
-- Blue/Green deployment containers are automatically detected
-- Command output is streamed in real-time

-# wheels docker init
-
-Initialize Docker configuration for your Wheels application with support for multiple databases, CF engines, production mode, and Nginx reverse proxy.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels docker init [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels docker init` command creates Docker configuration files for containerizing your Wheels application. It generates a `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `.dockerignore`, configures datasources in `CFConfig.json`, and creates a centralized deployment configuration in `config/deploy.yml`.
-
-The command follows an **interactive flow** that prompts you for project-specific details, which are then used to populate your configuration files.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default | Valid Values |
-|--------|-------------|---------|--------------|
-| `--db` | Database system to use | `mysql` | `h2`, `sqlite`, `mysql`, `postgres`, `mssql`, `oracle` |
-| `--dbVersion` | Database version to use | varies by db | Any valid version for the selected database |
-| `--cfengine` | CFML engine to use | `lucee` | `lucee`, `adobe` |
-| `--cfVersion` | CFML engine version | varies by server | lucee: 6,7 adobe: 2018, 2021, 2023, 2025 |
-| `--port` | Custom application port (overrides server.json) | from server.json or `8080` | Any valid port number |
-| `--force` | Overwrite existing Docker files without confirmation | `false` | `true`, `false` |
-| `--production` | Generate production-ready configuration | `false` | `true`, `false` |
-| `--nginx` | Include Nginx reverse proxy | `false` | `true`, `false` |
-
-**Default Database Versions:**
-- MySQL: `8.0`
-- PostgreSQL: `15`
-- MSSQL: `2019-latest`
-- Oracle: `latest` (Oracle Database 23c Free)
-- H2: embedded (no version needed)
-- SQLite: embedded (no version needed)
-

-```
-
-## What It Does
-
-1. **Interactive Configuration Gathering**:
-   - **Application Name**: Prompts for a human-readable name for your app (defaults to folder name).
-   - **Docker Image Name**: Prompts for the repository name to use for builds (defaults to app name).
-   - **Server Host/IP**: Prompts for the production server address for deployments.
-   - **Server User**: Prompts for the SSH user (defaults to `ubuntu`).
-   - These choices are saved to `config/deploy.yml` and used by all other `wheels docker` commands.
-
-2. **Checks for existing files** (unless `--force` is used):
-   - Detects existing `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `.dockerignore`, and `config/deploy.yml`
-   - Prompts before overwriting existing Docker configuration
-   - Lists all files that will be replaced
-   - Allows cancellation to prevent accidental overwrites
-
-3. **Creates Dockerfile** optimized for CFML applications:
-   - **Development mode** (default):
-     - Hot-reload enabled
-     - Development tools installed (curl, nano)
-     - Source code mounted for live updates
-     - `BOX_INSTALL=TRUE` for automatic dependency installation
-   - **Production mode** (`--production`):
-     - Security hardened with non-root user (UID 1001)
-     - `box install --production` for optimized dependencies
-     - Health checks configured (30s interval, 10s timeout, 3 retries)
-     - Production environment variables set
-     - No source volume mounts
-     - Optimized image size
-   - Based on `ortussolutions/commandbox:latest`
-   - Installs H2 extension for Lucee if H2 database selected
-   - SQLite JDBC driver included by default (no extension needed)
-   - Exposes application port (custom, from server.json, or defaults to 8080)
-
-3. **Generates docker-compose.yml** with:
-   - Application service with port mapping or internal exposure
-   - Database service (mysql, postgres, mssql, or oracle) if selected
-   - File-based databases (H2, SQLite) run embedded within app container
-   - Nginx reverse proxy service (if `--nginx`)
-   - Environment variables for database connection
-   - Volume mappings for data persistence
-   - **Development mode**: Source code mounted for hot-reload, development command
-   - **Production mode**: No source mounts, `restart: always` policies
-
-4. **Creates Nginx configuration** (if `--nginx`):
-   - Reverse proxy to application backend
-   - Load balancing ready upstream configuration
-   - WebSocket support with upgrade headers
-   - Static asset caching with 1-day expiration
-   - Custom upload size limits (100MB)
-   - Health check endpoint at `/health`
-   - **Production mode only**:
-     - Security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, X-XSS-Protection, Referrer-Policy)
-     - Gzip compression for text content types
-   - **Port configuration**:
-     - Development: Nginx on port 8080
-     - Production: Nginx on port 80
-
-5. **Creates .dockerignore** excluding:
-   - `.git` and `.gitignore`
-   - `node_modules`
-   - `.CommandBox`
-   - `server.json`
-   - `logs` and `*.log`
-   - `tests`
-   - `.env`
-   - **Production mode only**: README files, IDE configs (`.vscode`, `.idea`), `.DS_Store`
-
-6. **Updates CFConfig.json**:
-   - Configures `wheels-dev` datasource for selected database
-   - Sets up proper JDBC drivers and connection strings:
-     - MySQL: `com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver`
-     - PostgreSQL: `org.postgresql.Driver`
-     - MSSQL: `com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver`
-     - Oracle: `oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver`
-   - Uses Docker service name `db` for host resolution
-   - Configures appropriate ports and credentials
-   - **Note**: Skipped for H2 and SQLite (file-based databases)
-
-7. **Updates server.json for Docker compatibility**:
-   - Sets `web.host` to `0.0.0.0` (required for Docker containers to accept external connections)
-   - Sets `openBrowser` to `false` (Docker containers have no GUI)
-   - Configures port from `--port` argument, existing server.json, or defaults to 8080
-   - Sets CFEngine version (e.g., `lucee@6` or `adobe@2023`)
-   - Adds `CFConfigFile` reference if missing

-  - Ideal for development, testing, and prototyping
-  - No username/password required
-  - Creates auxiliary files during operation (.db-wal, .db-shm, .db-journal)
-- **Use Cases**: Development, testing, embedded systems, portable applications
-- **Limitations**:
-  - Single writer (not suitable for high-concurrency)
-  - Not recommended for production with multiple concurrent users
-
-## Production vs Development Mode
-
-### Development Mode (default)
-- Source code mounted as volumes for hot-reload
-- Full development tools installed (curl, nano)
-- Debugging and verbose logging enabled
-- No restart policies
-- Direct port exposure (app accessible on configured port)
-- Development-friendly error messages
-- `box install` runs on container start with `--force` flag
-- Volume mounts for Wheels core, docs, and tests (framework development)
-
-### Production Mode (`--production`)
-- **No source code volume mounts** - code baked into image
-- Security hardened Dockerfile with non-root user (UID 1001)
-- Automatic restart policies (`restart: always`)
-- Health checks configured (30s interval, 10s timeout, 60s start period, 3 retries)
-- Optimized image size with `box install --production`
-- Production environment variable set
-- Additional .dockerignore exclusions (docs, IDE configs)
-- `BOX_SERVER_PROFILE=production` environment
-- No command override in docker-compose (uses CMD from Dockerfile)
-
-### Comparison Table
-
-| Feature | Development | Production |
-|---------|-------------|------------|
-| Source Volume Mount |  Yes |  No |
-| Hot Reload |  Enabled |  Disabled |
-| User | root | appuser (1001) |
-| Restart Policy | none | always |
-| Health Checks |  No |  Yes |
-| Security Headers |  No |  Yes (with nginx) |
-| Gzip Compression |  No |  Yes (with nginx) |
-| Install Command | `box install` | `box install --production` |
-| Image Size | Larger | Optimized |
-
-## Nginx Reverse Proxy
-
-When using `--nginx`, an Nginx reverse proxy is configured between clients and your application.
-
-### Benefits
-- **Load balancing ready**: Upstream configuration supports multiple app instances
-- **SSL termination point**: Add SSL certificates to nginx without app changes
-- **Static asset caching**: 1-day cache for images, CSS, JS
-- **Security headers**: Production mode adds security headers
-- **Gzip compression**: Production mode compresses responses
-- **WebSocket support**: Upgrade headers configured
-- **Request buffering**: Better handling of slow clients
-- **Health checks**: Dedicated `/health` endpoint
-
-### Port Configuration
-- **Development mode**: Nginx listens on port 8080, app exposed internally
-- **Production mode**: Nginx listens on port 80, app exposed internally
-- App is only accessible through nginx when `--nginx` is used
-
-### Nginx Configuration Details
-The generated `nginx.conf` includes:
-- **Upstream**: `app_backend` pointing to `app:8080` (Docker service)
-- **Worker connections**: 1024 concurrent connections
-- **Client max body size**: 100MB for file uploads
-- **Proxy headers**: Host, X-Real-IP, X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Proto
-- **WebSocket support**: HTTP/1.1 with Upgrade and Connection headers
-- **Timeouts**: 60s for connect, send, and read operations
-- **Static caching**: 1 day expiration for assets
-- **Health check**: `/health` endpoint with no access logging
-
-### Production Security Headers (with --production --nginx)
-```
-X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
-X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
-X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
-Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade
-```
-
-### Production Gzip Compression (with --production --nginx)
-Enabled for:
-- text/plain
-- text/css
-- text/xml
-- text/javascript
-- application/x-javascript
-- application/xml+rss
-- application/json
-
-## server.json Docker Configuration
-
-The command automatically updates your `server.json` with Docker-specific settings:
-
-### Before Docker Init
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "web": {
-    "host": "localhost",
-    "http": {
-      "port": "8080"
-    }
-  },
-  "openBrowser": true
-}
-```
-
-### After Docker Init
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "web": {
-    "host": "0.0.0.0",
-    "http": {
-      "enable": true,
-      "port": "8080"
-    },
-    "webroot":"public",
-    "rewrites":{ 
-      "enable":true,
-      "config":"public/urlrewrite.xml"
-    }
-  },
-  "openBrowser": false,
-  "CFConfigFile": "CFConfig.json",
-  "app": {
-    "cfengine": "lucee@6"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Why These Changes?
-
-| Setting | Value | Reason |
-|---------|-------|--------|
-| `web.host` | `0.0.0.0` | Docker containers must bind to all interfaces to accept external connections. Using `localhost` or `127.0.0.1` prevents access from outside the container. |
-| `openBrowser` | `false` | Docker containers run in headless mode with no GUI. Attempting to open a browser will fail and cause errors. |
-| `web.http.port` | (from --port or existing) | Ensures the application port matches the Dockerfile EXPOSE and docker-compose port mapping. |
-| `CFConfigFile` | `CFConfig.json` | Required for datasource configuration to work properly. |
-
-### Port Priority
-
-The port configuration follows this priority order:
-1. `--port` command argument (highest priority)
-2. Existing value in `server.json`
-3. Default: `8080` (lowest priority)
-
-If you specify `--port=9000`, the command will:
-- Update `server.json` with port `9000`
-- Configure Dockerfile to `EXPOSE 9000`
-- Set docker-compose port mapping to `9000:9000`
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-The following environment variables are configured in docker-compose.yml:
-
-| Variable | Description | Example |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `ENVIRONMENT` | Application environment mode | `development` or `production` |
-| `BOX_SERVER_PROFILE` | CommandBox server profile (production only) | `production` |
-| `DB_HOST` | Database hostname (Docker service name) | `db` |
-| `DB_PORT` | Database port | `3306`, `5432`, `1433`, `1521` |
-| `DB_NAME` | Database name | `wheels` |
-| `DB_USER` | Database username | `wheels` or `sa` |
-| `DB_PASSWORD` | Database password | `wheels` or `Wheels123!` |
-| `DB_SID` | Oracle SID (Oracle only) | `FREE` |
-| `DB_TYPE` | Database type (H2/SQLite only) | `h2` or `sqlite` |
-
-## Starting Your Docker Environment
-
-After running `wheels docker init`, start your containers:
-
-```bash
-# Start in detached mode
-docker-compose up -d
-
-# Start with build (after code changes in production)
-docker-compose up -d --build
-
-# View logs
-docker-compose logs -f
-
-# View specific service logs
-docker-compose logs -f app
-docker-compose logs -f nginx
-
-# Stop containers
-docker-compose down
-
-# Stop and remove volumes (WARNING: deletes database data)
-docker-compose down -v
-
-# Restart a specific service
-docker-compose restart app
-
-# Rebuild and restart
-docker-compose up -d --build --force-recreate
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- Requires Docker and Docker Compose installed
-- Use `--force` to skip confirmation prompts when overwriting existing files
-- **server.json is automatically configured for Docker compatibility**:
-  - `web.host` changed to `0.0.0.0` (required for Docker networking)
-  - `openBrowser` set to `false` (no GUI in containers)
-  - `web.http.port` updated to match --port or existing value
-  - `CFConfigFile` added if missing
-  - CF engine version set (e.g., `lucee@6`)
-- Custom `--port` overrides the port from `server.json`
-- Port priority: `--port` argument > `server.json` > default (8080)
-- Database passwords are set to defaults suitable for **development only**
-- **Production deployments MUST use secrets management and secure passwords**
-- Production mode creates security-hardened configurations with non-root users
-- Nginx adds reverse proxy capabilities for load balancing, caching, and security
-- H2 and SQLite databases run embedded within the application container
-- Volume mounts in development assume Wheels framework development structure
-- When using `--nginx`, the app is only exposed internally to nginx
-- CFConfig.json is updated with datasource configuration (skipped for H2 and SQLite)
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Port conflicts
-**Problem**: Port already in use on host machine
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Update the port in `server.json` before running `wheels docker init`
-- Use `--port` argument to specify a different port
-- Manually edit the ports in `docker-compose.yml` after generation
-- Stop the conflicting service: `lsof -ti:8080 | xargs kill`
-
-### Database connection issues
-**Problem**: Application cannot connect to database
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Ensure the database container is fully started: `docker-compose logs db`
-- Check for initialization errors in database logs
-- Verify CFConfig.json has correct datasource configuration
-- Confirm the `wheels-dev` datasource name matches your application config
-- For MSSQL, ensure password meets complexity requirements
-- Wait for database to fully initialize (can take 30-60 seconds first time)
-
-### Permission issues
-**Problem**: Permission denied errors in production mode
-
-**Solutions**:
-- The generated files have `777` permissions for development convenience
-- Production Dockerfile runs as `appuser` (UID 1001)
-- Ensure all files are readable by UID 1001
-- Check volume mount permissions on host
-- Adjust file permissions: `chmod -R 755 /path/to/app`
-
-### Nginx not routing requests
-**Problem**: 502 Bad Gateway or connection refused
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Verify app service is running: `docker-compose ps`
-- Check app service logs: `docker-compose logs app`
-- Ensure app is listening on the correct port internally
-- Verify nginx config syntax: `docker-compose exec nginx nginx -t`
-- Check nginx logs: `docker-compose logs nginx`
-- Restart services: `docker-compose restart app nginx`
-
-### Force overwrite not working
-**Problem**: Still getting prompted despite using `--force`
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Ensure correct syntax: `wheels docker init --force` (not `--force=true`)
-- Check for boolean parameter issues in command
-- Use the exact parameter name: `--force`
-
-### H2 database not working
-**Problem**: H2 extension not loading or database errors
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Verify H2 extension was added to Dockerfile
-- Check Lucee admin for H2 extension installation
-- Ensure CFConfig.json doesn't have conflicting datasource config
-- Check application logs for H2 initialization errors
-- H2 works with Lucee only (not Adobe ColdFusion)
-
-### SQLite database not working
-**Problem**: SQLite connection errors or database not found
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Verify `./db/` directory exists in the container
-- Check file permissions on database file (especially in production mode with UID 1001)
-- Ensure absolute paths are used in datasource configuration
-- SQLite JDBC driver is included by default (no extension installation needed)
-- Check application logs for SQLite initialization errors
-- Verify database file path in application settings
-- In production, ensure database file is accessible by `appuser` (UID 1001)
-
-### Container not accessible from host
-**Problem**: Cannot access the application at http://localhost:8080
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Verify `server.json` has `web.host` set to `0.0.0.0` (not `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`)
-- Check if port is already in use: `lsof -ti:8080` (Unix) or `netstat -ano | findstr :8080` (Windows)
-- Ensure docker-compose port mapping matches server.json port
-- Check container logs: `docker-compose logs app`
-- Restart containers: `docker-compose restart app`
-- If manually edited, run `wheels docker init --force` to regenerate proper configuration
-
-### Application attempts to open browser
-**Problem**: Errors about browser opening or display issues
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Verify `server.json` has `openBrowser: false`
-- Run `wheels docker init --force` to update server.json automatically
-- Manually set `"openBrowser": false` in server.json
-- Rebuild containers: `docker-compose up -d --build`

-# wheels docker login
-
-Login to a container registry.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels docker login [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels docker login` command authenticates your Docker client with a container registry. It supports various registry types including Docker Hub, AWS ECR, Google GCR, Azure ACR, and GitHub GHCR. 
-
-**Interactive Features**:
-- **Username Recovery**: If you omit the `--username` argument, the command will proactively prompt you for it.
-- **Secure Input**: Passwords and tokens are masked during entry.
-- **Ordered Prompts**: For private and ACR registries, the command first asks for the Registry URL to ensure proper host resolution.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--registry` | Registry type: `dockerhub`, `ecr`, `gcr`, `acr`, `ghcr`, `private` | `dockerhub` |
-| `--username` | Registry username (required for dockerhub, ghcr, private) | `""` |
-| `--password` | Registry password or token (optional, will prompt if empty) | `""` |
-| `--image` | Image name (optional, but required for ECR/ACR to determine region/registry) | `""` |
-| `--local` | Execute login locally | `true` |
-
-## Detailed Examples
-
-### Docker Hub
-The default registry. Requires your Docker Hub username and password/token.
-```bash
-# Prompts for password
-wheels docker login --registry=dockerhub --username=myuser
-
-# With password provided (use with caution in scripts)
-wheels docker login --registry=dockerhub --username=myuser --password=mytoken
-```
-
-### AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)
-Authenticates with AWS ECR. Requires the full image repository URI to determine the region and registry ID.
-```bash
-wheels docker login --registry=ecr --image=123456789.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/myapp:latest
-```
-
-### GitHub Container Registry (GHCR)
-Authenticates with GitHub's container registry. Use your GitHub username and a Personal Access Token (PAT) with `read:packages` scope.
-```bash
-wheels docker login --registry=ghcr --username=mygithubuser
-```
-
-### Google Container Registry (GCR)
-Authenticates with GCR. Requires the image path to determine the registry host (e.g., `gcr.io`, `us.gcr.io`).
-```bash
-wheels docker login --registry=gcr --image=gcr.io/my-project/my-app
-```
-
-### Azure Container Registry (ACR)
-Authenticates with Azure ACR. Requires the login server address.
-```bash
-wheels docker login --registry=acr --image=myregistry.azurecr.io/my-app
-```
-
-### Private Registry
-For self-hosted or other private registries. If you don't provide an image or URL via arguments, you will be prompted in this order: **Registry URL** -> **Username** -> **Password**.
-```bash
-wheels docker login --registry=private
-```
-
-## Configuration Storage
-
-Successful logins save the registry configuration to `docker-config.json` in your project root. This configuration is used by `wheels docker push` to automatically authenticate during push operations.
-
-**Example `docker-config.json`:**
-```json
-{
-  "registry": "ecr",
-  "image": "123456789.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/myapp:latest",
-  "username": "AWS",
-  "namespace": "myorg"
-}
-```
-
-**Security Note**: Passwords are **not** stored in `docker-config.json`. Only registry type, username, and image references are saved. You may be prompted for a password again during push operations if your session expires.

-# wheels docker logs
-
-View deployment logs from servers.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels docker logs [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels docker logs` command fetches and displays logs from running containers. It abstracts away the complexity of finding the correct container ID, especially in multi-server or Blue/Green environments.
-
-**Centralized Configuration**:
-- **Source of Truth**: This command prioritizes settings from `config/deploy.yml` for server lists and project names.
-- **Local vs Remote**: You can explicitly switch between viewing local container logs and remote server logs using the `--local` flag.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--local` | Fetch logs from local Docker environment | `true` |
-| `--tail` | Number of lines to show | `100` |
-| `--follow` | Follow log output in real-time | `false` |
-| `--service` | Service to show logs for: `app` or `db` | `app` |
-| `--since` | Show logs since timestamp | `""` |
-| `--remote` | Fetch logs from remote Docker environment | `false` |
-| `--servers` | Specific servers to check (defaults to `config/deploy.yml`) | `""` |
-
-**Note**: If neither `--local` nor `--remote` is specified, `--local` is used by default.
-
-## Detailed Examples
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-**View Recent Logs (Remote)**
-Fetches the last 100 lines of logs from the application container on all configured remote servers.
-```bash
-wheels docker logs
-```
-
-**View Local Logs**
-Fetches logs from the local Docker environment.
-```bash
-wheels docker logs --local
-```
-
-**View Database Logs**
-Fetches logs from the database service container.
-```bash
-wheels docker logs --service=wheels-db
-```
-
-### Real-Time Monitoring
-
-**Follow Logs**
-Streams logs in real-time from a specific server. Useful for debugging startup issues or watching traffic.
-*   **Note**: You must specify a single server when using `--follow`.
-```bash
-wheels docker logs --follow --servers=web1.example.com
-```
-
-### Filtering Logs
-
-**Show More History**
-View the last 500 lines of logs.
-```bash
-wheels docker logs --tail=500
-```
-
-**Time-Based Filtering**
-View logs generated in the last hour.
-```bash
-wheels docker logs --since=1h
-```
-
-**Specific Time Range**
-View logs since a specific timestamp (ISO 8601 format).
-```bash
-wheels docker logs --since="2023-10-27T14:00:00"
-```
-
-### Troubleshooting Scenarios
-
-**Debugging Startup Failures**
-If your app isn't starting, checking the logs immediately after deployment is crucial.
-```bash
-wheels docker logs --tail=50 --servers=problematic-server.com
-```
-
-**Checking Database Errors**
-If the app reports database connection errors, check the DB logs for rejection messages or startup errors.
-```bash
-wheels docker logs --service=wheels-db --tail=100
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-*   **Service Discovery**: Automatically finds the correct container, handling Blue/Green deployment naming (e.g., it knows to look at `myapp-green` if that's the active container).
-*   **SSH**: Uses your local SSH configuration. Ensure you have access to the servers.

-# wheels docker push
-
-Push Docker images to container registries.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels docker push [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels docker push` command uploads your Docker images to a container registry (like Docker Hub, ECR, etc.). It can push images from your local machine or trigger remote servers to push their built images. 
-
-**Smart Tagging & Config**:
-- **Source of Truth**: Automatically reads settings from `config/deploy.yml` if available.
-- **Smart Tagging**: Intelligently handles custom image names and version suffixes.
-- **Interactive Registry Detection**: Prompts for Registry URLs if they cannot be found in configuration for private/ACR types.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--local` | Push image from local machine | `false` |
-| `--remote` | Push image from remote server(s) | `false` |
-| `--servers` | Comma-separated list of server numbers to push from (e.g., "1,3,5") - for remote only | `""` |
-| `--registry` | Registry type: `dockerhub`, `ecr`, `gcr`, `acr`, `ghcr`, `private` | `dockerhub` |
-| `--image` | Full image name with registry path (optional - auto-detected if not specified) | `""` |
-| `--username` | Registry username | `""` |
-| `--password` | Registry password or token (leave empty to prompt) | `""` |
-| `--tag` | Tag/version to apply (e.g., v1.0.0, latest) | `latest` |
-| `--build` | Build the image before pushing | `false` |
-| `--namespace` | Registry namespace/username prefix | `""` |
-
-## Detailed Examples
-
-### Local Push Workflows
-
-**Push to Docker Hub**
-Pushes your image to Docker Hub under your username.
-```bash
-# Assumes you are logged in or will be prompted for password
-wheels docker push --local --registry=dockerhub --username=myuser
-```
-
-**Push a Specific Version**
-Tags the image as `v1.0.0` and pushes it.
-```bash
-wheels docker push --local --registry=dockerhub --username=myuser --tag=v1.0.0
-```
-
-**Build and Push**
-Ensures you are pushing the absolute latest code by building first.
-```bash
-wheels docker push --local --registry=dockerhub --username=myuser --build
-```
-
-**Push to AWS ECR**
-Pushes to a private ECR repository.
-```bash
-wheels docker push --local --registry=ecr --image=123456789.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/myapp:latest
-```
-
-### Remote Push Workflows
-
-**Trigger Remote Push**
-Instructs all remote servers to push their built images to the registry. This is useful if your remote servers build the images (e.g., during deployment) and you want to archive those exact artifacts.
-```bash
-wheels docker push --remote --registry=dockerhub --username=myuser
-```
-
-**Push from Specific Servers**
-Only trigger the push on specific servers.
-```bash
-wheels docker push --remote --servers=1 --registry=dockerhub --username=myuser
-```
-
-## Configuration
- 
- This command prioritizes settings in this order:
- 1. Command-line arguments (`--image`, `--tag`, etc.)
- 2. Centralized configuration in `config/deploy.yml`
- 3. Saved session data in `docker-config.json` (created by `wheels docker login`)
- 
-## Workflow Explained
-
-1.  **Tagging**: The command intelligently determines the target image name:
-    *   **Custom Name**: If your image name contains a colon (e.g., `myregistry:port/path`), it is used directly as the target.
-    *   **Suffix Tagging**: If no colon is present, it appends the project name and tag to the registry/namespace (e.g., `registry/namespace/project:tag`).
-2.  **Authentication**:
-    *   Checks for interactive password if not provided.
-    *   Assumes existing session if previously logged in via `wheels docker login`.
-    *   On remote servers, it uses the credentials provided in the command to authenticate before pushing.
-3.  **Pushing**: It executes the `docker push` command for the resolved image.

-# wheels docker stop
-
-Unified Docker stop command for Wheels apps. Stops containers locally or on remote servers.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels docker stop [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels docker stop` command halts running containers. It supports stopping containers locally or across multiple remote servers.
-
-**Centralized Configuration**:
-- **Source of Truth**: This command prioritizes settings from `config/deploy.yml` for server lists and project names, ensuring you only stop the containers relevant to your current project.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--local` | Stop containers on local machine | `true` |
-| `--remote` | Stop containers on remote server(s) | `false` |
-| `--servers` | Specific servers to stop (defaults to `config/deploy.yml`) | `""` |
-| `--removeContainer` | Also remove the container after stopping | `false` |
-
-**Note**: If neither `--local` nor `--remote` is specified, `--local` is used by default.
-
-## Detailed Examples
-
-### Local Management
-
-**Stop Services**
-Stops the running containers but keeps them (and their logs/state) intact.
-```bash
-wheels docker stop --local
-```
-
-**Stop and Cleanup**
-Stops the containers and removes them. This is useful for a full reset or to free up names.
-```bash
-wheels docker stop --local --removeContainer
-```
-
-### Remote Management
-
-**Stop All Remote Servers**
-Halts the application on all configured servers. Useful for maintenance windows.
-```bash
-wheels docker stop --remote
-```
-
-**Stop Specific Servers**
-Stops the application only on specific servers (e.g., taking a node out of rotation).
-```bash
-wheels docker stop --remote --servers=1
-```
-
-**Full Remote Cleanup**
-Stops and removes containers on remote servers.
-```bash
-wheels docker stop --remote --removeContainer
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-1.  **Environment Detection**: It checks for `docker-compose.yml`.
-2.  **Graceful Shutdown**:
-    *   **Docker Compose**: Runs `docker compose down`. This stops and removes containers, networks, and volumes defined in the compose file.
-    *   **Standard Docker**: Runs `docker stop [container_name]`. This sends `SIGTERM` to the main process, allowing it to shut down gracefully.
-3.  **Removal (`--removeContainer`)**:
-    *   If using standard Docker, this flag triggers `docker rm [container_name]` after stopping.
-    *   If using Docker Compose, `down` already removes containers, so this flag is redundant but harmless.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Always Test Locally First
-
-Before stopping remote servers:
-```bash
-# Test the stop command locally
-wheels docker stop --local
-
-# Verify it works as expected
-docker ps -a
-```
-
-### 2. Use Server Selection for Staged Rollouts
-
-Don't stop all servers at once in production:
-```bash
-# Stop first half
-wheels docker stop --remote --servers=1,2
-
-# Verify, then stop second half
-wheels docker stop --remote --servers=3,4
-```
-
-### 3. Remove Containers During Maintenance
-
-For major updates or troubleshooting:
-```bash
-wheels docker stop --remote --removeContainer
-```
-
-This ensures a completely clean slate for the next deployment.
-
-### 4. Check Status After Stopping
-
-Verify containers are stopped:
-```bash
-wheels docker stop --local
-docker ps -a
-```
-
-## Common Workflows
-
-### Development Cycle
-
-```bash
-# 1. Stop local containers
-wheels docker stop --local --removeContainer
-
-# 2. Make code changes
-# ... edit files ...
-
-# 3. Rebuild and restart
-wheels docker build --local
-wheels docker deploy --local
-```
-
-### Deployment Update
-
-```bash
-# 1. Build new image
-wheels docker build --remote
-
-# 2. Stop old containers (staged)
-wheels docker stop --remote --servers=1,3,5
-
-# 3. Deploy new version
-wheels docker deploy --remote --servers=1,3,5
-
-# 4. Stop remaining servers
-wheels docker stop --remote --servers=2,4,6
-
-# 5. Deploy to remaining servers
-wheels docker deploy --remote --servers=2,4,6
-```
-
-### Emergency Rollback
-
-```bash
-# 1. Stop all production servers
-wheels docker stop --remote --servers=1,2,3,4
-
-# 2. Deploy previous version
-wheels docker deploy --remote --servers=production-servers.json
-
-# 3. Verify deployment
-wheels docker logs --remote --servers=1 --tail=100
-```
-
-### Complete Cleanup
-
-```bash
-# Stop and remove everything
-wheels docker stop --local --removeContainer
-wheels docker stop --remote --removeContainer
-```
-
-## Additional Notes
-
-- Default mode is `--local` if neither `--local` nor `--remote` is specified
-- Cannot specify both `--local` and `--remote` simultaneously
-- SSH connections use key-based authentication (password auth not supported)
-- Containers are stopped gracefully with default Docker stop timeout (10 seconds)
-- Docker Compose down removes networks automatically
-- The `--removeContainer` flag only removes the container, not the image
-- Server selection is 1-indexed (starts at 1, not 0)
-- Invalid server numbers are skipped with warnings
-- The command attempts to detect sudo requirements automatically
-- Exit status reflects overall operation success

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### No Environments Listed
-- Check `/config/` directory
-- Verify environment.cfm exists
-- Run `wheels env setup` to create
-
-### Invalid Environment
-- Check configuration syntax
-- Verify database credentials
-- Test database connection
-
-### Missing Current Environment
-- Check WHEELS_ENV variable
-- Verify environment.cfm logic
-- Set environment explicitly
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Regular Checks**: Validate environments periodically
-2. **Documentation**: Keep environment purposes clear
-3. **Consistency**: Use consistent naming
-4. **Cleanup**: Remove unused environments
-5. **Security**: Don't expose production details
-
-## Notes
-
-- Current environment marked with asterisk (*)
-- Invalid environments shown but marked
-- Verbose mode may expose sensitive data
-- JSON format useful for automation

-title: Wheels env merge
----
-# Wheels env merge
-
-## Overview
-
-The `wheels env merge` command allows you to merge multiple environment configuration files (`.env` files) into a single consolidated file. This is particularly useful when working with different environments (development, staging, production) or when you have base configurations that need to be combined with environment-specific overrides.
-
-## Command Syntax
-
-```bash
-wheels env merge <source1> <source2> [source3...] [options]
-```
-
-## Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
-|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| source1 | string | Yes | First source .env file to merge |
-| source2 | string | Yes | Second source .env file to merge |
-| source3, source4, ... | string | No | Additional source .env files to merge (unlimited) |
-| --output | string | No | Output file name (default: .env.merge) |
-| --dryRun | flag | No | Show what would be merged without actually writing the file |
-
-## Basic Usage Examples
-
-### Simple Two-File Merge
-```bash
-wheels env merge .env.defaults .env.local
-```
-This merges `.env.defaults` and `.env.local` into `.env.merge`
-
-### Custom Output File
-```bash
-wheels env merge .env.defaults .env.local --output=.env
-```
-This merges the files and saves the result as `.env`
-
-### Production Environment Merge
-```bash
-wheels env merge source1=.env source2=.env.production --output=.env.merged
-```
-Combines base configuration with production-specific settings
-
-### Multiple File Merge
-```bash
-wheels env merge source1=base.env source2=common.env source3=dev.env source4=local.env --output=.env.development
-```
-Merges multiple files in the specified order (unlimited number of source files supported)
-
-### Dry Run (Preview)
-```bash
-wheels env merge base.env override.env --dryRun
-```
-Shows what the merged result would look like without creating a file
-
-## How It Works
-
-### File Processing Order
-Files are processed in the order they are specified on the command line. **Later files take precedence** over earlier ones when there are conflicting variable names.
-
-### Supported File Formats
-- **Properties format** (standard .env format):
-  ```
-  DATABASE_HOST=localhost
-  DATABASE_PORT=5432
-  API_KEY=your-secret-key
-  ```
-- **JSON format**:
-  ```json
-  {
-    "DATABASE_HOST": "localhost",
-    "DATABASE_PORT": "5432",
-    "API_KEY": "your-secret-key"
-  }
-  ```
-
-### File Parsing Details
-- Empty lines and comments (lines starting with `#`) are skipped in properties files
-- Values can contain `=` signs (everything after the first `=` is considered the value)
-- Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed from keys and values
-- The command automatically detects whether a file is JSON or properties format
-
-### Conflict Resolution
-When the same variable exists in multiple files:
-- The value from the **last processed file** wins
-- Conflicts are tracked and reported with details showing:
-  - The variable name
-  - The original value and source file
-  - The new value and source file
-- You'll see a summary showing which values were overridden
-
-## Output Features
-
-### Organized Structure
-The merged output file is automatically organized:
-- Variables are grouped by prefix (e.g., `DATABASE_*`, `API_*`)
-- Groups are sorted alphabetically
-- Variables within groups are sorted alphabetically
-- Includes generated header comments with:
-  - Generation timestamp
-  - Source information
-  - Section headers for each variable group
-
-### Security Features
-When using `--dryRun` or viewing output, sensitive values are automatically masked:
-- Variables containing `password`, `secret`, `key`, or `token` (case-insensitive) show as `***MASKED***`
-- The actual values are still written to the output file (only display is masked)
-- Each variable shows its source file for traceability
-
-## Common Use Cases
-
-### Development Workflow
-```bash
-# Start with base configuration
-wheels env merge source1=.env.base source2=.env.development --output=.env
-
-# Add local overrides
-wheels env merge source1=.env source2=.env.local --output=.env
-```
-
-### Multi-Environment Setup
-```bash
-# Merge base, environment, and local configs
-wheels env merge source1=.env.base source2=.env.staging source3=.env.local --output=.env
-```
-
-### Deployment Preparation
-```bash
-# Create production configuration
-wheels env merge source1=.env.base source2=.env.production --output=.env.prod
-
-# Preview staging configuration
-wheels env merge source1=.env.base source2=.env.staging --dryRun
-```
-
-### Configuration Validation
-```bash
-# Check what the final configuration looks like
-wheels env merge source1=.env.defaults source2=.env.current --dryRun
-```
-
-## Sample Output
-
-### Command Execution
-```
-Merging environment files:
-  1. .env.defaults
-  2. .env.local
-  3. .env.override
-
-Merged 3 files into .env.merge
-  Total variables: 15
-
-Conflicts resolved (later files take precedence):
-  DATABASE_HOST: 'db.example.com' (.env.defaults) → 'localhost' (.env.local)
-  DEBUG_MODE: 'false' (.env.defaults) → 'true' (.env.override)
-```
-
-### Dry Run Output
-```
-Merged result (DRY RUN):
-
-DATABASE Variables:
-  DATABASE_HOST = localhost (from .env.local)
-  DATABASE_NAME = myapp (from .env.defaults)
-  DATABASE_PASSWORD = ***MASKED*** (from .env.local)
-  DATABASE_PORT = 5432 (from .env.defaults)
-
-API Variables:
-  API_BASE_URL = https://api.example.com (from .env.defaults)
-  API_KEY = ***MASKED*** (from .env.local)
-  API_TOKEN = ***MASKED*** (from .env.override)
-
-Other Variables:
-  APP_NAME = MyApplication (from .env.defaults)
-  DEBUG_MODE = true (from .env.override)
-```
-
-### Generated File Format
-```env
-# Merged Environment Configuration
-# Generated by wheels env merge command
-# Date: 2024-12-15 14:30:45
-
-# API Configuration
-API_BASE_URL=https://api.example.com
-API_KEY=actual-key-value
-API_TOKEN=actual-token-value
-
-# DATABASE Configuration
-DATABASE_HOST=localhost
-DATABASE_NAME=myapp
-DATABASE_PASSWORD=actual-password
-DATABASE_PORT=5432
-
-# Other Configuration
-APP_NAME=MyApplication
-DEBUG_MODE=true
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-The command will stop and show an error if:
-- Source files don't exist
-- Less than two source files are provided
-- Output file cannot be written (permissions, disk space, etc.)
-- File read operations fail
-
-## Important Notes
-
-1. **Default output filename** is `.env.merge` (not `.env.merged`)
-2. **Multiple files supported** - You can merge any number of files (not just 2 or 3)
-3. **Option format** - Use double dashes for options: `--output`, `--dryRun`
-4. **Value preservation** - Values containing `=` signs are properly preserved
-5. **Comment handling** - Comments in source files are not preserved in the merged output
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use descriptive file names** that indicate their purpose (`.env.base`, `.env.production`, `.env.local`)
-
-2. **Order files by precedence** - place base/default files first, overrides last
-
-3. **Use dry-run first** to preview results before committing to a merge
-
-4. **Keep sensitive data in local files** that aren't committed to version control
-
-5. **Document your merge strategy** in your project's README
-
-6. **Backup important configurations** before merging
-
-7. **Review conflicts** - Pay attention to the conflicts report to ensure expected overrides
-
-## Tips
-
-- The merged file includes helpful comments showing when it was generated
-- Variables are automatically organized by prefix for better readability
-- Use the `--dryRun` option to understand what changes will be made
-- The command validates all source files exist before starting the merge process
-- You can merge as many files as needed in a single command
-- The source file information is preserved during dry runs for debugging

-title: Wheels env set
----
-# Wheels env set
-
-## Overview
-
-The `wheels env set` command allows you to set or update environment variables in `.env` files. This command provides a quick and safe way to modify environment configuration files directly from the command line, supporting both creation of new variables and updating of existing ones.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels env set KEY=VALUE [KEY2=VALUE2 ...] [--file=filename]
-```
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-This command supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Named parameters**: `KEY=VALUE` (e.g., `DB_HOST=localhost`, `API_KEY=secret`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag=value` (e.g., `--file=.env.production`)
-
-**Parameter Mixing Rules:**
-
- **ALLOWED:**
-- Named KEY=VALUE pairs: `wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost DB_PORT=3306`
-- Named + file flag: `wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost --file=.env.production`
-- Multiple variables: `wheels env set KEY1=value1 KEY2=value2 KEY3=value3`
-
- **NOT ALLOWED:**
-- Positional parameters: This command does not support positional parameters
-
-**Recommendation:** Use KEY=VALUE format with optional --file flag: `wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost --file=.env.production`
-
-## Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
-|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| KEY=VALUE | KEY=VALUE | Yes | One or more environment variable assignments in KEY=VALUE format |
-| --file | string | No | The .env file to update (default: `.env`) |
-
-## Basic Usage Examples
-
-### Set a Single Variable
-```bash
-wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost
-```
-Sets `DB_HOST` to `localhost` in the `.env` file
-
-### Set Multiple Variables
-```bash
-wheels env set DB_PORT=3306 DB_NAME=myapp DB_USER=root
-```
-Sets multiple database-related variables in a single command
-
-### Update Specific File
-```bash
-wheels env set --file=.env.production API_KEY=secret
-```
-Updates the `.env.production` file instead of the default `.env`
-
-### Complex Values
-```bash
-wheels env set DATABASE_URL="mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/db"
-wheels env set API_ENDPOINT=https://api.example.com/v1
-```
-Sets variables with complex values including special characters
-
-## How It Works
-
-### File Handling
-The command intelligently handles different scenarios:
-
-1. **Existing File**: Updates or adds variables to the existing file
-2. **Non-existent File**: Creates a new file with the specified variables
-3. **Format Detection**: Automatically detects and preserves the file format (properties or JSON)
-
-### Supported File Formats
-
-#### Properties Format (Standard .env)
-```env
-DATABASE_HOST=localhost
-DATABASE_PORT=3306
-API_KEY=your-secret-key
-```
-
-#### JSON Format
-```json
-{
-  "DATABASE_HOST": "localhost",
-  "DATABASE_PORT": "3306",
-  "API_KEY": "your-secret-key"
-}
-```
-
-### Update Behavior
-
-- **Existing Variables**: Overwrites the current value with the new one
-- **New Variables**: Appends to the end of the file (for properties format)
-- **Comments**: Preserves existing comments and empty lines
-- **Line Format**: Maintains the original file structure and formatting
-
-### Special Value Handling
-
-- **Trailing Commas**: Automatically removes trailing commas from values
-- **Equal Signs**: Values can contain `=` signs (everything after the first `=` is the value)
-- **Whitespace**: Trims leading and trailing whitespace from keys and values
-- **Special Characters**: Properly handles URLs, connection strings, and other complex values
-
-## Security Features
-
-### Sensitive Value Masking
-When displaying updated variables, the command automatically masks sensitive values:
-- Variables containing `password`, `secret`, `key`, or `token` (case-insensitive)
-- Masked values appear as `***MASKED***` in the output
-- Actual values are still written correctly to the file
-
-### Git Security Warning
-The command checks if your `.env` file is listed in `.gitignore`:
-- Displays a warning if the file is not ignored
-- Recommends adding it to prevent committing secrets
-- Only checks when working with files containing `.env` in the name
-
-## Output Information
-
-After successful execution, the command displays:
-- Confirmation message with the filename
-- List of all updated/added variables
-- Masked display for sensitive values
-- Git security warning (if applicable)
-
-### Sample Output
-```
-Environment variables updated in .env:
-  DB_HOST = localhost
-  DB_PORT = 3306
-  DB_PASSWORD = ***MASKED***
-  API_KEY = ***MASKED***
-
-Warning: .env is not in .gitignore!
-  Add it to .gitignore to prevent committing secrets.
-```
-
-## Common Use Cases
-
-### Initial Setup
-```bash
-# Create a new .env file with basic configuration
-wheels env set APP_NAME=MyApp APP_ENV=development DEBUG=true
-```
-
-### Database Configuration
-```bash
-# Set all database variables at once
-wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost DB_PORT=5432 DB_NAME=myapp DB_USER=appuser DB_PASSWORD=secret
-```
-
-### API Configuration
-```bash
-# Configure API endpoints and keys
-wheels env set API_BASE_URL=https://api.example.com API_KEY=abc123 API_TIMEOUT=30
-```
-
-### Environment-Specific Settings
-```bash
-# Development settings
-wheels env set --file=.env.development DEBUG=true LOG_LEVEL=debug
-
-# Production settings
-wheels env set --file=.env.production DEBUG=false LOG_LEVEL=error
-```
-
-### Updating Existing Values
-```bash
-# Change database host from localhost to production server
-wheels env set DB_HOST=db.production.com
-
-# Update multiple values
-wheels env set APP_ENV=production DEBUG=false
-```
-
-## File Creation Behavior
-
-When creating a new file, the command adds:
-- Header comment indicating it was generated by the command
-- Timestamp comment (optional)
-- All specified variables
-
-Example of a newly created file:
-```env
-# Wheels Environment Configuration
-# Generated by wheels env set command
-
-APP_NAME=MyApplication
-APP_ENV=development
-DEBUG=true
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-The command will display an error and stop if:
-- No KEY=VALUE pairs are provided
-- File write permissions are insufficient
-- The file path is invalid
-- File system errors occur (disk full, etc.)
-
-### Error Messages
-```bash
-# No arguments provided
-Error: No key=value pairs provided. Usage: wheels env set KEY=VALUE
-
-# File write failure
-Error: Failed to update .env file: [specific error message]
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use quotes for complex values** containing spaces or special characters:
-   ```bash
-   wheels env set CONNECTION_STRING="Server=localhost;Database=myapp;User=root"
-   ```
-
-2. **Update multiple related variables together** to maintain consistency:
-   ```bash
-   wheels env set DB_HOST=newhost DB_PORT=3306 DB_NAME=newdb
-   ```
-
-3. **Keep sensitive values in separate files** not tracked by version control:
-   ```bash
-   wheels env set --file=.env.local API_SECRET=very-secret-key
-   ```
-
-4. **Always check .gitignore** to ensure sensitive files are not committed:
-   ```bash
-   echo ".env" >> .gitignore
-   echo ".env.local" >> .gitignore
-   ```
-
-5. **Use environment-specific files** for different deployments:
-   ```bash
-   wheels env set --file=.env.production APP_ENV=production
-   wheels env set --file=.env.staging APP_ENV=staging
-   ```
-
-## Tips and Tricks
-
-### Batch Updates
-Update multiple variables from different categories in one command:
-```bash
-wheels env set \
-  APP_NAME=MyApp \
-  DB_HOST=localhost \
-  DB_PORT=5432 \
-  CACHE_DRIVER=redis \
-  MAIL_HOST=smtp.example.com
-```
-
-### Quick Environment Switch
-```bash
-# Switch to production settings
-wheels env set APP_ENV=production DEBUG=false LOG_LEVEL=error
-
-# Switch back to development
-wheels env set APP_ENV=development DEBUG=true LOG_LEVEL=debug
-```
-
-### Creating Templates
-```bash
-# Create a template file for new projects
-wheels env set --file=.env.example \
-  APP_NAME=YourAppName \
-  APP_ENV=development \
-  DB_HOST=localhost \
-  DB_PORT=3306 \
-  DB_NAME=your_database \
-  DB_USER=your_user \
-  DB_PASSWORD=your_password
-```
-
-## Important Notes
-
-1. **File Format Preservation**: The command preserves the original format (JSON or properties)
-2. **Comment Preservation**: Existing comments and empty lines are maintained
-3. **Atomic Updates**: All variables are updated in a single operation
-4. **No Validation**: The command doesn't validate variable values
-5. **Case Sensitive**: Variable names are case-sensitive
-6. **Overwrite Behavior**: Existing values are always overwritten
-7. **Trailing Comma Removal**: Automatically cleans trailing commas from values
-
-
-## Security Recommendations
-
-1. **Never commit .env files** containing real credentials
-2. **Use .env.example** files as templates with dummy values
-3. **Keep production secrets** in secure vaults or CI/CD systems
-4. **Rotate credentials regularly** using this command
-5. **Review git history** before pushing to ensure no secrets were committed

-# wheels env setup
-
-Setup a new environment configuration for your Wheels application with comprehensive database, template, and configuration options.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=<name> [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels env setup` command creates and configures new environments for your Wheels application. It generates:
-- Environment-specific `.env.[environment]` files with database and server settings using **generic `DB_*` variable names**
-- Configuration files at `config/[environment]/settings.cfm` with Wheels settings
-- Template-specific files (Docker, Vagrant) if requested
-- Server.json updates for environment-specific configurations
-- Updates `config/environment.cfm` with the current environment setting
-
-The command supports copying configurations from existing environments and allows full customization of database types, templates, and framework settings.
-
-### Interactive Database Credentials
-
-When setting up environments with server-based databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle), if database credentials are not provided as command arguments, the command will **interactively prompt** you to enter:
-- Database host (default: localhost)
-- Database port (database-specific defaults)
-- Database username (default: varies by database type)
-- Database password (masked input)
-- Oracle SID (Oracle only)
-
-This ensures you never use incorrect default credentials that could cause authentication failures.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Required |
-|----------|-------------|----------|
-| `environment` | Environment name (e.g., development, staging, production, testing) | Yes |
-
-**Note**: Always use named parameter syntax: `environment=name` to avoid parameter conflicts.
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default | Valid Values |
-|--------|-------------|---------|--------------|
-| `--template` | Deployment template type | `local` | `local`, `docker`, `vagrant` |
-| `--dbtype` | Database type | `h2` | `h2`, `sqlite`, `mysql`, `postgres`, `mssql`, `oracle` |
-| `--database` | Custom database name | `wheels_[environment]` | Any valid database name |
-| `--datasource` | ColdFusion datasource name | `wheels_[environment]` | Any valid datasource name |
-| `--host` | Database host | `localhost` (or prompted) | Any valid hostname/IP |
-| `--port` | Database port | Database-specific (or prompted) | Valid port number |
-| `--username` | Database username | Database-specific (or prompted) | Any valid username |
-| `--password` | Database password | *(prompted if not provided)* | Any string |
-| `--sid` | Oracle SID (Oracle only) | `ORCL` (or prompted) | Any valid SID |
-| `--base` | Base environment to copy from | *(none)* | Any existing environment name |
-| `--force` | Overwrite existing environment | `false` | `true`, `false` |
-| `--debug` | Enable debug settings | `false` | `true`, `false` |
-| `--cache` | Enable cache settings | `false` | `true`, `false` |
-| `--reloadPassword` | Custom reload password | `wheels[environment]` | Any string |
-| `--skipDatabase` | Skip database creation | `false` | `true`, `false` |
-| `--help` | Show detailed help information | `false` | - |

-## Examples
-
-### Basic Environment Setup
-```bash
-# Create development environment with H2 database (default)
-wheels env setup environment=development
-
-# Create development environment with SQLite database (file-based, no server required)
-wheels env setup environment=development --dbtype=sqlite --database=myapp_dev
-
-# Create staging environment with MySQL (will prompt for credentials)
-wheels env setup environment=staging --dbtype=mysql
-
-# Create production environment with PostgreSQL and caching enabled
-wheels env setup environment=production --dbtype=postgres --cache=true --debug=false
-
-# Create environment with explicit credentials (no prompting)
-wheels env setup environment=test --dbtype=mssql --host=localhost --port=1433 --username=sa --password=MyPassword123!
-```
-
-### Interactive Credential Example
-```bash
-# Running without credentials prompts interactively
-wheels env setup environment=production --dbtype=mssql
-
-# Output:
-# Setting up production environment...
-#
-# Database credentials not provided for mssql database
-# Would you like to enter database credentials now? [y/n] y
-#
-# Please provide database connection details:
-#
-# Database Host [localhost]: localhost
-# Database Port [1433]: 1433
-# Database Username [sa]: sa
-# Database Password: ************
-#
-# Database credentials captured successfully!
-```
-
-### Using Base Environment
-```bash
-# Copy settings from development environment but use PostgreSQL
-wheels env setup environment=testing --base=development --dbtype=postgres
-
-# Create staging environment based on production settings
-wheels env setup environment=staging --base=production --database=staging_db
-
-# Create QA environment with custom settings
-wheels env setup environment=qa --base=development --dbtype=mysql --debug=true --cache=false
-```
-
-### Advanced Configuration
-```bash
-# Setup with custom database and datasource names
-wheels env setup environment=integration --dbtype=mysql --database=wheels_integration_db --datasource=integration_ds
-
-# Setup with specific reload password and debugging
-wheels env setup environment=dev --debug=true --reloadPassword=mypassword123 --force
-
-# Docker environment setup
-wheels env setup environment=docker-dev --template=docker --dbtype=postgres --database=wheels_docker
-```
-
-### Template-Based Setups
-```bash
-# Local development (default)
-wheels env setup environment=dev --template=local --dbtype=h2
-
-# Docker containerized environment
-wheels env setup environment=docker-staging --template=docker --dbtype=mysql
-
-# Vagrant VM environment
-wheels env setup environment=vm-test --template=vagrant --dbtype=postgres
-```
-
-## What It Creates
-
-### 1. Environment Variables File (`.env.[environment]`)

-
-### 3. Template-Specific Files
-
-#### Docker Template (`--template=docker`)
-Creates:
-- `docker-compose.[environment].yml`
-- `Dockerfile` (if not exists)
-
-#### Vagrant Template (`--template=vagrant`)
-Creates:
-- `Vagrantfile.[environment]`
-- `vagrant/provision-[environment].sh`
-
-## Database Types
-
-### H2 (Embedded)
-- **Use Case**: Development, testing, quick prototyping
-- **Connection**: No network port required (embedded)
-- **Database Path**: `./db/[database_name]`
-- **Default Credentials**: username=`sa`, password=*(empty)*
-- **Creation**: Database file created on first connection (lazy creation)
-
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=dev --dbtype=h2 --database=my_dev_db
-```
-
-### SQLite (File-Based)
-- **Use Case**: Development, testing, prototyping, portable applications, embedded systems
-- **Connection**: No network port required (file-based, serverless)
-- **Database Path**: `./db/[database_name].db`
-- **Default Credentials**: No username/password required (file-based authentication)
-- **Creation**: Database file created immediately (eager creation)
-- **JDBC Driver**: `org.sqlite.JDBC` (org.xerial.sqlite-jdbc v3.47.1.0) - included with Lucee/CommandBox
-- **Auxiliary Files**: Creates `.db-wal`, `.db-shm`, `.db-journal` during operation
-- **Configuration**: Uses absolute paths in datasource configuration
-- **Advantages**:
-  - Zero configuration - no server setup required
-  - Portable - single file database, easy to backup/move
-  - Fast - ideal for local development and testing
-  - Self-contained - all data in one file
-  - Cross-platform - works on Windows, macOS, Linux
-- **Limitations**:
-  - Single writer - not suitable for high-concurrency scenarios
-  - File locking - can cause issues on network drives
-  - Not recommended for production with multiple concurrent users
-
-```bash
-# Basic SQLite environment setup
-wheels env setup environment=dev --dbtype=sqlite --database=myapp_dev
-
-# SQLite with custom database name
-wheels env setup environment=test --dbtype=sqlite --database=integration_tests
-
-# SQLite for prototyping
-wheels env setup environment=prototype --dbtype=sqlite --database=prototype_v1
-```
-
-### MySQL
-- **Use Case**: Production, staging environments
-- **Default Port**: 3306
-- **Default Credentials**: username=`wheels`, password=`wheels_password`
-
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=prod --dbtype=mysql --database=wheels_production
-```
-
-### PostgreSQL
-- **Use Case**: Production, complex applications
-- **Default Port**: 5432
-- **Default Credentials**: username=`wheels`, password=`wheels_password`
-
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=staging --dbtype=postgres
-```
-
-### Microsoft SQL Server
-- **Use Case**: Enterprise environments
-- **Default Port**: 1433
-- **Default Credentials**: username=`sa`, password=`Wheels_Pass123!`
-
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=enterprise --dbtype=mssql
-```
-
-## Base Environment Copying
-
-When using `--base`, the command copies configuration from an existing environment:
-
-### What Gets Copied:
-- Database host, username, and password
-- Server configuration (port, CF engine)
-- Custom environment variables
-
-### What Gets Modified:
-- Environment name
-- Database name (becomes `wheels_[new_environment]`)
-- Database type, driver, and port (based on `--dbtype`)
-- Reload password (becomes `wheels[new_environment]`)
-
-```bash
-# Copy from production but use H2 for testing
-wheels env setup environment=test --base=production --dbtype=h2
-
-# Copy from development but use different database name
-wheels env setup environment=feature-branch --base=development --database=feature_test_db
-```
-
-## Environment Naming Conventions
-
-### Recommended Names:
-- `development` or `dev` - Local development
-- `testing` or `test` - Automated testing
-- `staging` - Pre-production testing
-- `production` or `prod` - Live environment
-- `qa` - Quality assurance
-- `demo` - Client demonstrations
-
-### Custom Names:
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=feature-auth --base=development
-wheels env setup environment=performance-test --base=production --cache=false
-wheels env setup environment=client-demo --base=staging
-```
-
-## Template Options
-
-### Local Template (default)
-Best for traditional server deployments:
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=prod --template=local --dbtype=mysql
-```
-
-### Docker Template
-Creates containerized environment:
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=docker-dev --template=docker --dbtype=postgres
-```
-
-Generated `docker-compose.docker-dev.yml`:
-```yaml
-version: '3.8'
-
-services:
-  app:
-    build: .
-    ports:
-      - "8080:8080"
-    environment:
-      - WHEELS_ENV=docker-dev
-      - DB_TYPE=postgres
-      - DB_HOST=db
-      - DB_PORT=5432
-      - DB_NAME=wheels
-      - DB_USER=wheels
-      - DB_PASSWORD=wheels_password
-    volumes:
-      - .:/app
-    depends_on:
-      - db
-
-  db:
-    image: postgres:14
-    ports:
-      - "5432:5432"
-    environment:
-      POSTGRES_DB=wheels
-      POSTGRES_USER=wheels
-      POSTGRES_PASSWORD=wheels_password
-    volumes:
-      - db_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
-
-volumes:
-  db_data:
-```
-
-### Vagrant Template
-Creates VM-based environment:
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=vm-test --template=vagrant --dbtype=mysql
-```
-
-## Next Steps After Setup
-
-The command provides environment-specific next steps:
-
-### Local Template:
-1. Switch to environment: `wheels env switch [environment]`
-2. Start server: `box server start`
-3. Access application at: http://localhost:8080
-
-### Docker Template:
-1. Start Docker environment: `docker-compose -f docker-compose.[environment].yml up`
-2. Access application at: http://localhost:8080
-3. Stop environment: `docker-compose -f docker-compose.[environment].yml down`
-
-### Vagrant Template:
-1. Start Vagrant VM: `vagrant up`
-2. Access application at: http://localhost:8080 or http://192.168.56.10:8080
-3. SSH into VM: `vagrant ssh`
-4. Stop VM: `vagrant halt`
-
-## Configuration Management
-
-### Environment Detection
-Update `config/environment.cfm` to automatically detect environments:
-
-```cfml
-<cfscript>
-// Auto-detect environment based on server name
-if (cgi.server_name contains "staging") {
-    this.env = "staging";
-} else if (cgi.server_name contains "test") {
-    this.env = "testing";
-} else if (cgi.server_name contains "demo") {
-    this.env = "demo";
-} else if (cgi.server_name contains "localhost") {
-    this.env = "development";
-} else {
-    this.env = "production";
-}
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Environment Variables Integration
-Load `.env.[environment]` files in `Application.cfc`:
-
-```cfml
-<cfscript>
-component extends="wheels.Controller" {
-
-    function config() {
-        // Load environment-specific variables
-        var envFile = expandPath(".env." & get("environment"));
-        if (fileExists(envFile)) {
-            loadEnvironmentFile(envFile);
-        }
-    }
-
-    private function loadEnvironmentFile(filePath) {
-        var lines = fileRead(arguments.filePath).listToArray(chr(10));
-        for (var line in lines) {
-            if (len(trim(line)) && !line.startsWith("##")) {
-                var parts = line.listToArray("=");
-                if (arrayLen(parts) >= 2) {
-                    var key = trim(parts[1]);
-                    var value = trim(parts[2]);
-                    // Set as system property or use in configuration
-                    set(lCase(key), value);
-                }
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Validation and Testing
-
-After creating an environment, validate the setup:
-
-```bash
-# List all environments to verify creation
-wheels env list
-
-# Switch to the new environment
-wheels env switch [environment]
-
-# Test database connection
-wheels test run --type=core
-
-# Check configuration
-wheels env current
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Common Issues and Solutions:
-
-**Environment already exists:**
-```bash
-wheels env setup environment=staging --force
-```
-
-**Base environment not found:**
-```bash
-# Check available environments
-wheels env list
-# Use correct base environment name
-wheels env setup environment=test --base=development
-```
-
-**Database connection issues:**
-- Verify database credentials in `.env.[environment]`
-- Check database server is running
-- Validate port configuration
-
-**Permission issues:**
-- Ensure write permissions for config directory
-- Check file system permissions
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Environment Naming
-- Use consistent, descriptive names
-- Avoid spaces and special characters
-- Follow team conventions
-
-### 2. Database Management
-- Use separate databases per environment
-- Document database naming conventions
-- Implement proper backup strategies
-
-### 3. Security
-- Use strong, unique reload passwords
-- Never commit sensitive credentials
-- Use environment variables for secrets
-
-### 4. Configuration
-- Start with a solid base environment
-- Document environment purposes
-- Test configurations thoroughly
-
-### 5. Template Selection
-- `local`: Traditional server deployments
-- `docker`: Containerized applications
-- `vagrant`: Isolated development VMs
-
-## Integration Examples
-
-### CI/CD Pipeline
-```bash
-# Create testing environment for CI
-wheels env setup environment=ci-test --base=production --dbtype=h2 --debug=false
-
-# Create staging environment for deployment testing
-wheels env setup environment=staging --base=production --dbtype=mysql --cache=true
-```
-
-### Feature Development
-```bash
-# Create feature-specific environment
-wheels env setup environment=feature-login --base=development --database=login_feature_db
-
-# Create A/B testing environments
-wheels env setup environment=variant-a --base=production --database=variant_a_db
-wheels env setup environment=variant-b --base=production --database=variant_b_db
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Configuration File Issues
-1. Check syntax in generated `settings.cfm`
-2. Verify file permissions in config directory
-3. Review environment variable formats
-
-### Database Connection Problems
-1. Verify database server is running
-2. Check credentials in `.env.[environment]`
-3. Test connection manually
-4. Review port configurations (remember H2 has no port)
-
-### Environment Detection
-1. Check `config/environment.cfm` logic
-2. Verify server variables
-3. Test detection rules manually
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### Development Environments
-- Enable debugging for detailed information
-- Disable caching for hot reload
-- Use H2 for fast setup and teardown
-
-### Production Environments
-- Disable debugging for performance
-- Enable all caching options
-- Use optimized database configurations

-  - Access in app: application.env['VARIABLE_NAME']
-  - Use in config: set(value=application.env['VARIABLE_NAME'])
-  - Wheels loads .env automatically on app start
-  - Update: wheels env set KEY=VALUE
-```
-
-### JSON Format
-Clean JSON output suitable for processing or integration:
-
-```json
-{
-  "API_BASE_URL": "https://api.example.com",
-  "API_KEY": "********",
-  "APP_NAME": "My Application",
-  "DB_HOST": "localhost",
-  "DB_NAME": "myapp",
-  "DB_PASSWORD": "********",
-  "DB_PORT": "3306",
-  "DEBUG_MODE": "true",
-  "WHEELS_ENV": "development"
-}
-```
-
-
-## Features
-
-### Intelligent Grouping
-Variables are automatically grouped by prefix for better organization:
-- **DB_*** variables (database configuration)
-- **API_*** variables (API settings)  
-- **WHEELS_*** variables (framework settings)
-- **Other Variables** (ungrouped items)
-
-### Security Masking
-Sensitive values are automatically masked when displayed:
-- Variables containing `password` → `********`
-- Variables containing `secret` → `********`
-- Variables containing `key` → `********`
-
-The actual values remain unchanged in your files - only the display is masked.
-
-### Supported File Formats
-
-#### Properties Format (Standard .env)
-```bash
-## Database Configuration
-DB_HOST=localhost
-DB_PORT=3306
-DB_NAME=myapp
-DB_USER=wheels
-DB_PASSWORD="secret123"
-
-## Application Settings  
-WHEELS_ENV=development
-DEBUG_MODE=true
-```
-
-#### JSON Format
-```json
-{
-  "DB_HOST": "localhost",
-  "DB_PORT": "3306",
-  "DB_NAME": "myapp",
-  "WHEELS_ENV": "development",
-  "DEBUG_MODE": "true"
-}
-```
-
-### Quote Handling
-The command automatically handles quoted values:
-- Double quotes: `KEY="value with spaces"`
-- Single quotes: `KEY='another value'`
-- Quotes are stripped from displayed values
-
-## Error Handling and Validation
-
-### Project Validation
-The command ensures you're in a valid Wheels project:
-```
-This command must be run from a Wheels project root directory
-```
-
-### Missing File Handling
-If the specified `.env` file doesn't exist, you'll see helpful guidance:
-```
-No .env file found in project root
-
-Create a .env file with key=value pairs, for example:

-# wheels env switch
-
-Switch to a different environment in your Wheels application.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels env switch [name] [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels env switch` command changes the active environment for your Wheels application by updating the `WHEELS_ENV` variable in the `.env` file. It validates the environment configuration, optionally creates backups, and can restart the application server.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `name` | Target environment name | Required |
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--check` | Validate before switching | `true` |
-| `--restart` | Restart application after switch | `false` |
-| `--backup` | Backup current environment | `false` |
-| `--force` | Force switch even with issues | `false` |
-| `--quiet` | Suppress output | `false` |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Switch to staging
-```bash
-wheels env switch staging
-```
-
-### Switch with application restart
-```bash
-wheels env switch production --restart
-```
-
-### Force switch without validation
-```bash
-wheels env switch testing --force
-```
-
-### Switch with backup
-```bash
-wheels env switch production --backup
-```
-
-### Quiet switch for scripts
-```bash
-wheels env switch development --quiet
-```
-
-### Combine multiple options
-```bash
-wheels env switch production --backup --restart --check
-```
-
-## What It Does
-
-1. **Validates Target Environment** (if `--check` is enabled):
-   - Checks for `.env.[environment]` file
-   - Checks for `config/[environment]/settings.cfm` file
-   - Validates environment configuration
-
-2. **Creates Backup** (if `--backup` is enabled):
-   - Backs up current `.env` file
-   - Backs up `server.json` if it exists
-   - Creates timestamped backup files
-
-3. **Updates Configuration**:
-   - Updates or creates `WHEELS_ENV` variable in `.env`
-   - Falls back to `environment` variable if `WHEELS_ENV` doesn't exist
-   - Updates `server.json` profile if file exists
-
-4. **Restarts Application** (if `--restart` is enabled):
-   - Stops and starts CommandBox server if `server.json` exists
-   - Falls back to `wheels reload` command
-
-## Output Example
-
-```

-- Or use 'wheels env switch staging --restart' next time
-```
-
-## Environment File Updates
-
-### .env File
-The command updates or creates the `WHEELS_ENV` variable:
-
-Before:
-```
-WHEELS_ENV=development
-# or
-environment=development
-```
-
-After:
-```
-WHEELS_ENV=staging
-```
-
-If no environment variable exists, it adds:
-```
-WHEELS_ENV=staging
-```
-
-## Validation Process
-
-The validation checks for required environment files:
-
-1. **Environment Configuration File**:
-   - Checks: `.env.[environment]`
-   - Location: Project root
-
-2. **Wheels Settings File**:
-   - Checks: `config/[environment]/settings.cfm`
-   - Location: Project config directory
-
-### Validation Rules:
-- **Valid**: Both files exist
-- **Valid with warning**: One file exists
-- **Invalid**: Neither file exists (unless `--force` is used)
-
-## Options Details
-
-### --check (default: true)
-Validates the target environment before switching:
-```bash
-# With validation (default)
-wheels env switch production
-
-# Skip validation
-wheels env switch production --no-check
-```
-
-### --backup (default: false)
-Creates timestamped backups before switching:
-```bash
-wheels env switch production --backup
-# Creates: .env.backup-20240115-103045
-# Creates: server.json.backup-20240115-103045 (if exists)
-```
-
-### --restart (default: false)
-Automatically restarts the application:
-```bash
-wheels env switch production --restart
-```
-
-### --force (default: false)
-Bypasses validation and confirmation prompts:
-```bash
-# Force switch even if validation fails
-wheels env switch production --force
-
-# Combine with other options
-wheels env switch production --force --no-check
-```
-
-### --quiet (default: false)
-Minimal output for scripting:
-```bash
-wheels env switch production --quiet
-# Output: Environment switched to production
-```
-
-## Production Safety
-
-When switching to production from another environment:
-- Displays warning about production implications
-- Requires confirmation (unless `--force` or `--quiet`)
-- Shows warnings about debug mode, caching, and error handling
-
-Warning message:
-```
-WARNING: Switching to PRODUCTION environment
-   This will:
-   - Disable debug mode
-   - Enable full caching
-   - Hide detailed error messages
-
-Are you sure you want to continue? (yes/no):
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-If the switch fails:
-- Displays error message
-- Provides troubleshooting suggestions
-- Sets exit code 1 for scripting
-
-Example error output:
-```
-[X] Failed to switch environment
-  Error: Environment 'invalid' is not configured
-
-Suggestions:
-- Check if you have write permissions for .env file
-- Ensure the environment name is valid
-- Try running with administrator/sudo privileges if needed
-- Use --force to bypass validation checks
-```
-
-## Backup Files
-
-The `--backup` option creates timestamped backup files:
-
-### Created Files:
-- `.env.backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS` - Backup of current .env file
-- `server.json.backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS` - Backup of server.json (if exists)
-
-### Manual Restore:
-If you need to restore from a backup:
-```bash
-# Restore .env file
-cp .env.backup-20240115-103045 .env
-
-# Restore server.json
-cp server.json.backup-20240115-103045 server.json
-
-# Reload application
-wheels reload
-```
-
-## Service Management
-
-### With --restart Option
-When using `--restart`, the command will:
-
-1. **If server.json exists**:
-   - Stop CommandBox server
-   - Start CommandBox server
-
-2. **If server.json doesn't exist**:
-   - Execute `wheels reload` command
-
-### Manual Restart
-If `--restart` is not used, you need to manually restart:
-```bash
-# CommandBox server
-server restart
-
-# Or Wheels development server
-wheels reload
-```
-
-## Environment-Specific Configuration
-
-The command reads additional configuration from `.env.[environment]` files if they exist:
-
-### Supported Variables:
-- `database` - Database connection name
-- `debug` - Debug mode (true/false)
-- `cache` - Cache configuration
-
-Example `.env.production`:
-```
-database=wheels_production
-debug=false
-cache=full
-```
-
-## Integration Examples
-
-### CI/CD Pipeline
-```yaml
-- name: Switch to staging
-  run: |
-    wheels env switch staging --check
-    wheels test run
-    wheels deploy exec staging
-```
-
-### Deployment Scripts
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-# deploy.sh
-
-# Switch environment with backup
-wheels env switch $1 --backup
-
-# Run migrations
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-
-# Clear caches
-wheels cache clear
-
-# Verify environment
-wheels env current
-```
-
-### Automated Testing
-```bash
-# Switch to testing environment quietly
-wheels env switch testing --quiet --force
-
-# Run tests
-wheels test run
-
-# Switch back to development
-wheels env switch development --quiet
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Switch Failed
-- Check validation errors in output
-- Verify `.env.[environment]` file exists
-- Verify `config/[environment]/settings.cfm` exists
-- Use `--force` to bypass validation
-
-### Application Not Responding After Switch
-- Ensure server was restarted
-- Check `.env` file for correct `WHEELS_ENV` value
-- Review application logs for errors
-- Manually restart services if needed
-
-### Permission Issues
-- Check write permissions for `.env` file
-- Run with appropriate privileges
-- Ensure backup directory is writable
-
-### Validation Warnings
-- Warning appears if only one configuration file exists
-- Environment may work but might not be fully configured
-- Check both `.env.[environment]` and `config/[environment]/settings.cfm`
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always validate**: Keep `--check` enabled for production switches
-2. **Create backups**: Use `--backup` for critical environment changes
-3. **Test first**: Switch in staging before production
-4. **Use --restart**: Automatically restart to apply changes immediately
-5. **Document changes**: Log environment switches in deployment notes
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-- Production switches require explicit confirmation
-- Backup files contain sensitive configuration
-- `.env` files should be in `.gitignore`
-- Use `--quiet` mode carefully in automated scripts
-- Review environment-specific configurations regularly
-
-## Notes
-
-- The command modifies the `.env` file in place
-- Creates `WHEELS_ENV` variable if it doesn't exist
-- Falls back to updating `environment` variable if found
-- Some changes require application restart to take effect
-- Database connections may need to be reset after switching
-- Cached data should be cleared after environment switch
-
-## Exit Codes
-
-- `0` - Success
-- `1` - Failure (validation error, write error, or user cancellation)

-# Wheels env validate
-
-## Overview
-
-The `wheels env validate` command validates the format and content of `.env` files in your Wheels project. This command helps ensure your environment configuration is properly formatted, contains required variables, and follows best practices. It's essential for catching configuration errors before deployment and maintaining consistent environment setups across different environments.
-
-## Command Syntax
-
-```bash
-wheels env validate [options]
-```
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--file` | Name of the .env file to validate | `.env` |
-| `--required` | Comma-separated list of required keys that must be present| empty |
-| `--verbose` | Show detailed validation information including all variables | `false` |
-
-## Basic Usage Examples
-
-### Validate Default .env File
-```bash
-wheels env validate
-```
-Validates the `.env` file in your project root
-
-### Validate Specific File
-```bash
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production
-```
-Validates the `.env.production` file
-
-### Check Required Variables
-```bash
-wheels env validate --required=DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD
-```
-Validates that specific required variables are present
-
-### Detailed Validation
-```bash
-wheels env validate --verbose
-```
-Shows detailed information about all variables found
-
-## Advanced Usage Examples
-
-### Production Deployment Validation
-```bash
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --required=DB_HOST,DB_NAME,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD,API_KEY
-```
-Ensures production environment has all critical variables
-
-### Multi-Environment Validation
-```bash
-# Validate all environment files
-wheels env validate --file=.env.development
-wheels env validate --file=.env.staging  
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production
-```
-
-### Required Variables by Environment
-```bash
-# Development requirements
-wheels env validate --file=.env.development --required=DB_HOST,WHEELS_ENV
-
-# Production requirements
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --required=DB_HOST,DB_NAME,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD,API_KEY,WHEELS_ENV
-```
-
-### Comprehensive Validation
-```bash
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --required=DB_HOST,API_KEY --verbose
-```
-Combines required variable checking with detailed output
-
-## Validation Checks
-
-### Format Validation
-The command validates several aspects of your `.env` file format:
-
-#### 1. File Format Detection
-- **Properties format**: Standard `KEY=VALUE` pairs
-- **JSON format**: Valid JSON structure
-- Automatic detection based on content
-
-#### 2. Syntax Validation
-- **Missing equals sign**: `KEY VALUE` (invalid)
-- **Empty key names**: `=value` (invalid)
-- **Valid key=value format**: `KEY=value` (valid)
-
-#### 3. Key Name Standards
-- **Valid characters**: Letters, numbers, underscores only
-- **Standard format**: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` recommended
-- **Non-standard warnings**: Mixed case, special characters
-
-### Content Validation
-
-#### 1. Required Variables
-```bash
-wheels env validate --required=DB_HOST,API_KEY
-```
-Ensures specified variables are present and have values
-
-#### 2. Duplicate Key Detection
-Identifies when the same key appears multiple times:
-```
-Line 15: Duplicate key: 'DB_HOST' (previous value will be overwritten)
-```
-
-#### 3. Placeholder Detection
-Identifies common placeholder values in sensitive variables:
-- `your_password`
-- `your_secret` 
-- `change_me`
-- `xxx`
-- `TODO`
-

-
-## Common Use Cases
-
-### Pre-Deployment Validation
-```bash
-# Validate production config before deployment
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --required=DB_HOST,DB_NAME,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD,API_KEY
-
-# Check staging environment
-wheels env validate --file=.env.staging --required=DB_HOST,API_KEY
-```
-
-### Development Workflow
-```bash
-# Quick validation during development
-wheels env validate
-
-# Detailed check when debugging
-wheels env validate --verbose
-```
-
-### CI/CD Integration
-```bash
-# In your deployment pipeline
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --required=DB_HOST,API_KEY
-if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
-    echo "Environment validation failed!"
-    exit 1
-fi
-```
-
-### Environment Setup Verification
-```bash
-# Validate new team member's setup
-wheels env validate --required=DB_HOST,WHEELS_ENV,API_KEY
-
-# Check if all environments are properly configured
-for env in development staging production; do
-    wheels env validate --file=.env.$env
-done
-```
-
-### Configuration Auditing
-```bash
-# Regular audit of all environment files
-wheels env validate --file=.env.development --verbose
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --verbose
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Regular Validation
-```bash
-# Add to your development routine
-wheels env validate
-```
-
-### 2. Environment-Specific Requirements
-```bash
-# Define different requirements for different environments
-wheels env validate --file=.env.development --required=DB_HOST,WHEELS_ENV
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --required=DB_HOST,DB_NAME,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD,API_KEY
-```
-
-### 3. Pre-Commit Validation
-```bash
-# Add to git pre-commit hooks
-#!/bin/sh
-wheels env validate --file=.env.example
-```
-
-### 4. Deployment Pipeline Integration
-```bash
-# In CI/CD pipeline
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --required=DB_HOST,API_KEY
-```
-
-### 5. Use Verbose Mode for Documentation
-```bash
-# Generate configuration documentation
-wheels env validate --verbose > config-validation-report.txt
-```
-
-## Integration with Other Commands
-
-### With Environment Setup
-```bash
-# Set variables then validate
-wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost DB_PORT=3306
-wheels env validate --required=DB_HOST,DB_PORT
-```
-
-### With File Merging
-```bash
-# Merge files then validate result
-wheels env merge .env.base .env.local --output=.env.merged
-wheels env validate --file=.env.merged --required=DB_HOST,API_KEY
-```
-
-### With Configuration Display
-```bash
-# Validate then show configuration
-wheels env validate --verbose
-wheels env show
-```
-
-## Exit Codes
-
-The command returns different exit codes for automation:
-- **0**: Validation passed (may have warnings)
-- **1**: Validation failed (has errors)
-
-This makes it perfect for use in scripts and CI/CD pipelines:
-
-```bash
-if wheels env validate --file=.env.production; then
-    echo "Production config is valid"
-    # Continue with deployment
-else
-    echo "Production config has errors"
-    exit 1
-fi
-```
-
-## Tips and Recommendations
-
-### Security Best Practices
-- Use the validation to catch placeholder values in sensitive variables
-- Regularly validate that required security-related variables are present
-- Use `--verbose` mode carefully in CI/CD (sensitive values are masked but logs might be visible)
-
-### Development Workflow
-- Validate environment files before committing changes
-- Use different required variable lists for different environments
-- Set up validation as part of your local development setup script
-
-### Team Collaboration
-- Include validation in project setup documentation
-- Use validation to ensure consistent environment setup across team members
-- Define standard required variables for your project type
-
-### Automation
-- Integrate validation into deployment pipelines
-- Use exit codes to fail deployments when validation errors occur
-- Set up regular validation checks for configuration drift detection

-# wheels generate api-resource
-
-Generate a complete RESTful API controller with advanced features like pagination, filtering, sorting, and authentication.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels generate api-resource [name] [options]
-wheels g api-resource [name] [options]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels generate api-resource` command creates a production-ready RESTful API controller optimized for JSON APIs. It generates API-specific controllers with no view rendering logic, including optional features like pagination, filtering, sorting, authentication, and API versioning.
-
-The generated controllers use `provides("json")` and `renderWith()` to return JSON responses with proper HTTP status codes for REST operations.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `name` | Resource name (singular or plural) | Required |
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--version` | API version (v1, v2, etc.) | `v1` |
-| `--format` | Response format (json, xml) | `json` |
-| `--auth` | Include authentication | `false` |
-| `--pagination` | Include pagination | `true` |
-| `--filtering` | Include filtering | `true` |
-| `--sorting` | Include sorting | `true` |
-| `--skipModel` | Skip model generation | `false` |
-| `--skipMigration` | Skip migration generation | `false` |
-| `--skipTests` | Skip test generation | `false` |
-| `--namespace` | API namespace | `api` |
-| `--docs` | Generate API documentation template | `false` |
-| `--force` | Overwrite existing files | `false` |
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-This command supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Named parameters**: `name=value` (e.g., `name=products`, `version="v2"`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag` equals `flag=true` (e.g., `--auth` equals `auth=true`)
-- **Flag with value**: `--flag=value` equals `flag=value` (e.g., `--version=v2`)
-
-**Parameter Mixing Rules:**
-
-**ALLOWED:**
-- All positional: `wheels generate api-resource products`
-- All named: `name=products version="v2" auth=true`
-- Positional + flags: `wheels generate api-resource products --auth --skipModel`
-
-**NOT ALLOWED:**
-- Positional + named: `wheels generate api-resource products version="v2"` (causes error)
-
-**Recommendation:** Use positional for name + flags for options: `wheels generate api-resource products --auth --version=v2`
-
----
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic API Controller
-
-Generate a simple API controller:
-
-```bash
-# Positional name only
-wheels generate api-resource products
-```
-
-Creates:
-- `/models/Product.cfc` - Model file
-- `/controllers/api/v1/Products.cfc` - Versioned API controller with pagination, filtering, sorting
-
-### Without Advanced Features
-
-Generate a minimal API controller without optional features:
-
-```bash
-# Using named parameters (all named)
-wheels g api-resource name=products pagination=false filtering=false sorting=false
-
-# OR using flags (positional + flags) - RECOMMENDED
-wheels g api-resource products --pagination=false --filtering=false --sorting=false
-```
-
-Creates a simple controller with only basic CRUD operations.
-
-### With Authentication
-
-Generate API controller with authentication:
-
-```bash
-# Using flag
-wheels generate api-resource products --auth
-```
-
-Includes Bearer token authentication that requires Authorization header for create, update, delete actions.
-
-### Custom Version and Namespace
-
-Generate API controller with custom versioning:
-
-```bash
-# Using flags with values
-wheels generate api-resource products --version=v2 --namespace=public
-```
-
-Creates `/controllers/public/v2/Products.cfc`
-
-### Skip Model Generation
-
-Generate only the controller (model already exists):
-
-```bash
-# Using flag
-wheels generate api-resource products --skipModel
-```
-
-### Complete Setup with Documentation
-
-Generate everything with API documentation:
-
-```bash
-# Multiple flags
-wheels generate api-resource products --auth --docs
-```
-
-Creates:
-- `/models/Product.cfc`
-- `/controllers/api/v1/Products.cfc` with authentication
-- `/app/docs/api/products.md` - API documentation
-
-## Generated Controller Features
-
-### With All Features Enabled
-
-```bash
-wheels generate api-resource products --auth --pagination --filtering --sorting
-```
-
-Generates:
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.Controller" {
-
-    function config() {
-        provides("json");
-        filters(through="setJsonResponse");
-        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
-    }
-
-    /**
-     * GET /products
-     * Supports: ?page=1&perPage=25&sort=name,-price&filter[name]=widget
-     */
-    function index() {
-        local.page = params.page ?: 1;
-        local.perPage = params.perPage ?: 25;
-        local.options = {};
-        local.options.page = local.page;
-        local.options.perPage = local.perPage;
-
-        if (structKeyExists(params, "sort")) {
-            local.options.order = parseSort(params.sort);
-        }
-
-        if (structKeyExists(params, "filter")) {
-            local.options.where = parseFilter(params.filter);
-        }
-
-        local.products = model("Product").findAll(argumentCollection=local.options);
-
-        local.response = {
-            data = local.products,
-            meta = {
-                pagination = {
-                    page = local.products.currentPage ?: local.page,
-                    perPage = local.perPage,
-                    total = local.products.totalRecords ?: 0,
-                    pages = local.products.totalPages ?: 1
-                }
-            }
-        };
-
-        renderWith(data=local.response);
-    }
-
-    function show() { /* ... */ }
-    function create() { /* ... */ }
-    function update() { /* ... */ }
-    function delete() { /* ... */ }

-
-## Adding Routes
-
-After generating your API resource, add routes to `/config/routes.cfm`:
-
-### Default Namespaced Routes
-
-```cfm
-// Add inside mapper() block
-namespace(name="api", function() {
-    namespace(name="v1", function() {
-        resources(name="products", except="new,edit");
-    });
-});
-```
-
-Creates routes:
-- `GET /api/v1/products`
-- `GET /api/v1/products/:key`
-- `POST /api/v1/products`
-- `PUT /api/v1/products/:key`
-- `DELETE /api/v1/products/:key`
-
-### Custom Version
-
-```cfm
-namespace(name="api", function() {
-    namespace(name="v2", function() {
-        resources(name="products", except="new,edit");
-    });
-});
-```
-
-### No Namespace
-
-If you used `--namespace=""`:
-
-```cfm
-resources(name="products", except="new,edit");
-```
-
-## Feature Details
-
-### Pagination
-
-When `--pagination` is enabled (default):
-
-**Request:**
-```bash
-curl "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/products?page=2&perPage=10"
-```
-
-**Response:**
-```json
-{
-  "data": [ /* products */ ],
-  "meta": {
-    "pagination": {
-      "page": 2,
-      "perPage": 10,
-      "total": 100,
-      "pages": 10
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Filtering
-
-When `--filtering` is enabled (default):
-
-**Request:**
-```bash
-curl "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/products?filter[name]=widget&filter[minPrice]=10"
-```
-
-The generated controller includes a `parseFilter()` method with TODO comments for you to implement your filtering logic.
-
-### Sorting
-
-When `--sorting` is enabled (default):
-
-**Request:**
-```bash
-# Sort by name ascending, then price descending
-curl "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/products?sort=name,-price"
-```
-
-The `-` prefix indicates descending order.
-
-### Authentication
-
-When `--auth` is enabled:
-
-**Request:**
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/products \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"product":{"name":"Widget"}}'
-```
-
-The generated controller includes authentication methods that you need to implement with your actual token validation logic.
-
-## HTTP Status Codes
-
-The generated controller uses proper REST HTTP status codes:
-
-| Action | Success Status | Error Status |
-|--------|---------------|--------------|
-| `index` | 200 OK | - |
-| `show` | 200 OK | 404 Not Found |
-| `create` | 201 Created | 422 Unprocessable Entity |
-| `update` | 200 OK | 404 Not Found, 422 Unprocessable Entity |
-| `delete` | 204 No Content | 404 Not Found |
-| `auth failure` | - | 401 Unauthorized |
-

-{
-  "error": "Record not found"
-}
-```
-
-**Unauthorized (401):**
-```json
-{
-  "error": "Unauthorized"
-}
-```
-
-## Customization
-
-### Implementing Filter Logic
-
-Edit the generated `parseFilter()` method:
-
-```cfm
-private function parseFilter(required struct filter) {
-    local.where = [];
-    local.params = {};
-
-    if (structKeyExists(arguments.filter, "name")) {
-        arrayAppend(local.where, "name LIKE :name");
-        local.params.name = "%#arguments.filter.name#%";
-    }
-
-    if (structKeyExists(arguments.filter, "minPrice")) {
-        arrayAppend(local.where, "price >= :minPrice");
-        local.params.minPrice = arguments.filter.minPrice;
-    }
-
-    if (structKeyExists(arguments.filter, "category")) {
-        arrayAppend(local.where, "category = :category");
-        local.params.category = arguments.filter.category;
-    }
-
-    return arrayLen(local.where) ? arrayToList(local.where, " AND ") : "";
-}
-```
-
-### Implementing Authentication
-
-Edit the generated `isValidToken()` method:
-
-```cfm
-private function isValidToken(required string token) {
-    // Example: Check against database
-    local.apiKey = model("ApiKey").findOne(where="token = :token", token=arguments.token);
-
-    if (isObject(local.apiKey) && local.apiKey.active) {
-        // Store user context in session/request
-        request.user = local.apiKey.user();
-        return true;
-    }
-
-    return false;
-}
-```
-
-### Adding More Sortable Fields
-
-Edit the `parseSort()` method:
-
-```cfm
-private function parseSort(required string sort) {
-    local.allowedFields = ["id", "name", "price", "category", "createdAt", "updatedAt"];
-    // ... rest of method
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use Versioning**: Always version your APIs (`--version=v1`)
-2. **Enable Pagination**: Prevent performance issues with large datasets
-3. **Add Authentication**: Secure your API endpoints with `--auth`
-4. **Document Your API**: Use `--docs` flag and keep documentation updated
-5. **Implement Filtering**: Customize `parseFilter()` for your model fields
-6. **Whitelist Sort Fields**: Only allow sorting on indexed fields
-7. **Use Proper Status Codes**: 201 for creation, 204 for deletion
-8. **Return Error Details**: Always include error messages for 4xx/5xx
-9. **Rate Limiting**: Consider adding rate limiting for public APIs
-10. **CORS Headers**: Add CORS support for browser-based clients

-```
-Please enter a name for your application: MyWheelsApp
-```
-- Validates name format (alphanumeric, underscores, hyphens)
-- Checks for reserved names
-- Creates directory with this name
-
-### Step 2: Template Selection
-```
-Which Wheels Template shall we use?
-❯ 3.1.x - Wheels Base Template - Latest
-  3.0.x - Wheels Base Template - Stable Release
-  Wheels Template - HTMX - Alpine.js - Simple.css
-  Wheels Starter App

-```
-
-### Step 3: Reload Password
-```
-Please enter a 'reload' password for your application: changeMe
-```
-- Used for `?reload=true&password=xxx` functionality
-- Secures application reload via URL
-
-### Step 4: Database Configuration
-```
-Please enter a datasource name if different from MyWheelsApp: MyWheelsApp
-```
-- Sets datasource name in configuration files
-- You'll configure the actual datasource in your CFML server admin
-
-### Step 5: CFML Engine Selection
-```
-Please select your preferred CFML engine?
-❯ Lucee (Latest)
-  Adobe ColdFusion (Latest)
-  BoxLang (Latest)

-  Enter a custom engine endpoint
-```
-
-### Step 6: H2 Database Setup (Lucee Only, if skipInstall=false)
-```
-H2 Java embedded SQL database for development? [y,n]
-```
-- Only shown when using Lucee engine
-- Only asked if `skipInstall=false`
-- Sets up embedded H2 database for development
-
-### Step 7: Dependencies (if skipInstall=false)
-```
-========= Dependencies ======================
-Configure dependencies and plugins for your application.
-
-Would you like us to setup some default Bootstrap settings? [y/n]
-```
-- Only shown if `skipInstall=false`
-- Configures Bootstrap CSS framework
-- Additional dependencies may be added here
-
-### Step 8: Package Initialization
-```
-Finally, shall we initialize your application as a package
-by creating a box.json file? [y,n]
-```
-- Creates box.json for ForgeBox package management
-- Always asked regardless of `skipInstall` setting
-
-### Step 9: Expert Mode (if expert=true)
-```
-========= Expert Mode: Advanced Configuration ==========
-Configure advanced options for your application.
-
-Custom server port (leave empty for default 8080): 8080
-Custom JVM settings (e.g. -Xmx512m -Xms256m):
-Setup custom environment configurations (dev, staging, production)? [y,n]
-Enable advanced routing features (nested resources, constraints)? [y,n]

-+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
-
-Sound good? [y/n]
-```
-
-## skipInstall Parameter Behavior
-
-The `skipInstall` parameter significantly changes the wizard experience:
-
-### When skipInstall=false (default)
-- Asks about H2 database setup (if using Lucee)
-- Asks about Bootstrap dependencies
-- Shows "Dependencies" section
-- Includes dependency settings in summary table
-- Installs dependencies after app creation
-
-### When skipInstall=true
-- **Skips** H2 database question (even with Lucee)
-- **Skips** Bootstrap dependency question
-- Shows "Dependencies Skipped" message with explanation
-- Excludes dependency settings from summary table
-
-### Dependencies Skipped Message
-```
-========= Dependencies Skipped ================
-Dependency installation is disabled (skipInstall=true).
-Dependencies like Bootstrap and H2 database will not be configured or installed.
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic Interactive Wizard
-```bash
-wheels generate app-wizard
-```
-Runs full interactive wizard with all prompts.
-
-### Skip All Dependencies
-```bash
-wheels generate app-wizard --skipInstall
-```
-Runs wizard but skips H2 database and Bootstrap questions.
-
-### Expert Mode
-```bash
-wheels generate app-wizard --expert
-```
-Includes advanced configuration options like custom ports and JVM settings.
-
-### Non-Interactive Mode
-```bash
-wheels generate app-wizard --nonInteractive
-```
-Uses all defaults, no prompts. Creates app immediately.
-
-## Expert Mode Options
-
-When `--expert` is enabled, additional configuration options are available:
-
-### Server Configuration
-- **Custom server port**: Override default port 8080
-- **JVM settings**: Custom memory and performance settings
-
-### Environment Setup
-- **Custom environment configurations**: Setup dev, staging, production configs
-- **Advanced routing features**: Enable nested resources and route constraints
-
-### Development Tools
-- **Custom plugin repositories**: Additional ForgeBox endpoints
-
-## Non-Interactive Mode
-
-Use `--nonInteractive` to bypass all prompts:
-
-### Default Values Used
-- **Name**: `MyWheelsApp`
-- **Template**: `wheels-base-template@BE`
-- **Reload Password**: `changeMe`
-- **Datasource Name**: Same as app name
-- **CFML Engine**: `lucee`
-- **Directory**: `{current directory}/{name}`
-
-### Override Defaults
-```bash
-wheels generate app-wizard --nonInteractive name=CustomApp template=wheels-starter-app --cfmlEngine=adobe
-```
-
-## Post-Creation Steps
-
-After successful creation:
-
-```
-Model generation complete!
-
-Next steps:
-   1. Review generated configuration files
-   2. Configure your datasource in CFML server admin
-   3. box server start (to start development server)
-   4. Visit http://localhost:8080
-
-Additional commands:
-   - wheels generate model User name:string,email:string
-   - wheels generate controller Users
-   - wheels dbmigrate up (run database migrations)
-   - wheels test run (run tests)
-```
-
-## Validation Rules
-
-### Application Name
-- Must start with a letter
-- Can contain letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens
-- Cannot contain spaces or special characters
-- Cannot exceed 50 characters
-- Cannot be a reserved name (con, prn, aux, nul, wheels, etc.)
-
-### Directory Path
-- Must be a valid file system path
-- Parent directory must exist and be writable
-- Will warn if target directory is not empty (unless `--force` used)
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Common Issues and Solutions
-
-**Invalid application name**:
-```
-'123app' is not valid. Application name must start with a letter.
-Please try again: MyApp
-```
-
-**Directory not empty**:
-```
-Target directory is not empty. Use --force to overwrite, or choose a different location.
-```
-
-**Missing dependencies**:
-```
-Warning: Some dependencies could not be installed.
-Run 'box install' in your application directory to install them manually.
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use descriptive names**: Choose clear, project-specific application names
-2. **Review configuration**: Check the summary table before confirming
-3. **Consider skipInstall**: Use `--skipInstall` for custom dependency management
-4. **Expert mode for production**: Use `--expert` for production-ready configurations
-5. **Save time with non-interactive**: Use `--nonInteractive` in automated scripts
-6. **Template selection**: Choose templates that match your project requirements
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Wizard Hangs or Freezes
-1. Check terminal compatibility
-2. Try `--nonInteractive` mode
-3. Ensure adequate system resources
-
-### Installation Failures
-1. Verify internet connection for template downloads
-2. Check CommandBox version compatibility
-3. Try `--skipInstall` and install dependencies manually
-4. Check file permissions in target directory
-
-### Configuration Issues
-1. Review generated `server.json` file
-2. Verify datasource configuration in CFML admin
-3. Check application settings in `/config/app.cfm`

-## Configuration Files
-
-### box.json
-```json
-{
-  "name": "myapp",
-  "version": "1.0.0",
-  "author": "Wheels Core Team and Community",
-  "installPaths": {
-    "wheels-core": "vendor/wheels/"
-  },
-  "dependencies": {
-    "wheels-core": "3.1.0"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### server.json
-```json
-{
-    "name":"myapp",
-    "web":{
-        "host":"localhost",
-        "webroot":"public",
-        "rewrites":{
-            "enable":true,
-            "config":"public/urlrewrite.xml"

-    },
-    "app":{
-        "cfengine":"lucee",
-        "libDirs":"app/lib"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Configure Custom Port in server.json
-```json
-{
-  "web": {
-    "http": {
-      "enable":true,
-      "port":"3000"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. Use descriptive application names
-2. Choose appropriate template for project type
-3. Set secure reload password for production
-4. Configure datasource before starting
-5. Run tests after generation
-
-## Common Issues
-
-- **Directory exists**: Use `--force` or choose different name
-- **Template not found**: Check available templates with `wheels info`
-- **Datasource errors**: Configure database connection
-- **Port conflicts**: Change port in `server.json`

-```
-
-## Database Snippets
-
-### Migration Indexes
-```bash
-wheels generate code migration-indexes
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfc
-t.index("email");
-t.index(["last_name", "first_name"]);
-t.index("email", unique=true);

-```
-
-### Constraints
-```bash
-wheels generate code constraints
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfc
-t.references("user_id", "users");
-t.references("category_id", "categories");
-```
-
-## Custom Code Snippets
-
-### Create Custom Code Snippet
-```bash
-wheels generate code --create my-custom-snippet
-```
-
-This creates a directory structure in `app/snippets/my-custom-snippet/`:
-```
-my-custom-snippet/
-└── template.txt
-```
-
-You can then edit the template file and use your custom code snippet:
-```bash
-wheels generate code my-custom-snippet
-```
-
-## Output Options
-
-### Output to Console (Default)
-```bash
-wheels generate code login-form
-# or explicitly:
-wheels generate code login-form --output=console
-```
-
-### Save to File
-```bash
-wheels generate code api-controller --output=file --path=app/controllers/Api.cfc
-```
-
-Use `--force` to overwrite existing files:
-```bash
-wheels generate code api-controller --output=file --path=app/controllers/Api.cfc --force
-```
-
-### Customization Options
-```bash
-wheels generate code [pattern] --customize
-```
-
-Shows available customization options for code snippets.
-
-## Filter by Category
-
-List code snippets from a specific category:
-```bash
-wheels generate code --list --category=model
-wheels generate code --list --category=authentication
-wheels generate code --list --category=controller
-wheels generate code --list --category=view
-wheels generate code --list --category=database
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Review generated code**: Customize for your needs
-2. **Understand the patterns**: Don't blindly copy
-3. **Keep snippets updated**: Maintain with framework updates
-4. **Share useful patterns**: Contribute back to community
-5. **Document customizations**: Note changes made
-6. **Test generated code**: Ensure it works in your context
-7. **Use consistent patterns**: Across your application

-# wheels generate controller
-
-Generate a controller with actions and optional views.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels generate controller name=<controllerName> [options]
-
-#Can also be used as:
-wheels g controller name=<controllerName> [options]
-```
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-- **Positional parameters**: `wheels generate controller Products` (controller name)
-- **Named parameters**: `param=value` (e.g., `name=Products`, `actions=index,show`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag` equals `flag=true` (e.g., `--crud` equals `crud=true`)
-- **Params with value**: `--param=value` equals `param=value` (e.g., `--actions=index,show`)
-
-**Recommended Format:**
-- Positional for name: `wheels generate controller Products`
-- Flags for options: `wheels generate controller Products --crud --force`
-
-**Not Allowed:**
-- Use `--actions` (plural) not `--action` (singular)
-- Don't mix positional and named parameters (causes errors)
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels generate controller` command creates a new controller CFC file with specified actions and optionally generates corresponding view files. It supports both traditional and RESTful controller patterns.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `name` | Name of the controller to create (usually plural) | Required |
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `actions` | Actions to generate (comma-delimited) - **HIGHEST PRIORITY**, overrides `--crud` | `index` |
-| `crud` | Generate CRUD controller with actions (index, show, new, create, edit, update, delete) **and scaffold-style views** (index, show, new, edit, _form) | `false` |
-| `api` | Generate API controller (no views generated, only JSON/XML endpoints) | `false` |
-| `noViews` | Skip view generation (only generate controller) | `false` |
-| `description` | Controller description comment | `""` |
-| `force` | Overwrite existing files | `false` |
-
-## How It Works
-
-### Decision Tree
-
-```
-ACTION GENERATION:
-├─ Has --actions? → Use those actions ONLY (highest priority, overrides --crud)
-├─ Has --api? → Generate 5 actions (index, show, create, update, delete)
-├─ Has --crud? → Generate 7 actions (index, show, new, create, edit, update, delete)
-└─ Default → Generate 1 action (index)
-
-VIEW GENERATION:
-├─ Has --api? → NO VIEWS (JSON/XML responses)
-├─ Has --noViews? → NO VIEWS (explicitly skipped)
-├─ Has --crud? → 5 VIEWS (index, show, new, edit, _form)
-└─ Default → CREATE 1 VIEW PER ACTION
-```
-
-### Common Use Cases
-
-| What You Want | Command | Actions | Views |
-|---------------|---------|---------|-------|
-| Traditional web app (scaffold-style) | `--crud` | 7 | 5 (index, show, new, edit, _form) |
-| REST API (JSON/XML) | `--api` | 5 | None |
-| Single page controller | (no flags) | 1 (index) | 1 (index) |
-| Custom actions with views | `--actions=dashboard,export` | 2 | 2 (dashboard, export) |
-| Controller only (no views) | `--crud --noViews` | 7 | None |
-
-### --crud vs --api
-
-| Aspect | --crud | --api |
-|--------|--------|-------|
-| Purpose | Traditional web application | API endpoints |
-| Actions | 7 (includes new, edit forms) | 5 (no form actions) |
-| Views | 5 scaffold-style views | None |
-| Response | HTML pages with forms | JSON/XML data |
-| Use Case | User-facing web apps | Mobile apps, SPAs, integrations |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic controller
-```bash
-wheels generate controller Products
-```
-Creates: `Products.cfc` with `index` action and `index.cfm` view
-
-### Controller with custom actions
-```bash
-wheels generate controller Products --actions=dashboard,reports,export
-```
-Creates: `Products.cfc` with 3 custom actions and 3 views
-
-### CRUD controller (scaffold-style)
-```bash
-wheels generate controller Products --crud
-```
-Creates: `Products.cfc` with 7 CRUD actions + 5 views (index, show, new, edit, _form)
-
-### API controller (no views)
-```bash
-wheels generate controller Orders --api
-```
-Creates: `Orders.cfc` with 5 API actions, no views
-
-### Controller without views
-```bash
-wheels generate controller Products --crud --noViews
-```
-Creates: `Products.cfc` with 7 actions, no views
-
-### Priority override example
-```bash
-wheels generate controller Products --crud --actions=dashboard
-```
-Creates: `Products.cfc` with only `dashboard` action (--actions overrides --crud)

-    }
-
-	/**
-	* Set Response to JSON
-	*/
-	private function setJsonResponse() {
-		params.format = "json";
-	}
-
-}
-```
-
-## View Generation
-
-Views are automatically generated for non-API controllers:
-
-### index.cfm
-```cfm
-<h1>Products</h1>
-
-<p>#linkTo(text="New Product", action="new")#</p>
-
-<table>
-    <thead>
-        <tr>
-            <th>Name</th>
-            <th>Actions</th>
-        </tr>
-    </thead>
-    <tbody>
-        <cfloop query="products">
-            <tr>
-                <td>#products.name#</td>
-                <td>
-                    #linkTo(text="Show", action="show", key=products.id)#
-                    #linkTo(text="Edit", action="edit", key=products.id)#
-                    #linkTo(text="Delete", action="delete", key=products.id, method="delete", confirm="Are you sure?")#
-                </td>
-            </tr>
-        </cfloop>
-    </tbody>
-</table>
-```
-
-## Naming Conventions
-
-- **Controller names**: PascalCase, typically plural (Products, Users)
-- **Action names**: camelCase (index, show, createProduct)
-- **File locations**: 
-  - Controllers: `/controllers/`
-  - Nested: `/controllers/admin/Products.cfc`
-  - Views: `/views/{controller}/`
-
-## Routes Configuration
-
-Add routes in `/config/routes.cfm`:
-
-### Traditional Routes
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-mapper()
-    .get(name="products", to="products##index")
-    .get(name="product", to="products##show")
-    .post(name="products", to="products##create")
-    .wildcard()
-.end();
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### RESTful Resources
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-mapper()
-    .resources("products")
-    .wildcard()
-.end();
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-Generate tests alongside controllers:
-```bash
-wheels generate controller name=products --crud
-wheels generate test controller name=products
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. Use plural names for resource controllers
-2. Keep controllers focused on single resources
-3. Use `--crud` for standard web app CRUD operations (with views and forms)
-4. Use `--api` for API endpoints (JSON/XML, no views)
-5. Use `--actions` when you need custom actions (HIGHEST PRIORITY - overrides `--crud`)
-6. Implement proper error handling
-7. Add authentication in `config()` method
-8. Use filters for common functionality
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Authentication Filter
-```cfc
-function config() {
-    filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
-}
-
-private function authenticate() {
-    if (!session.isLoggedIn) {
-        redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Pagination
-```cfc
-function index() {
-    products = model("Product").findAll(
-        page=params.page ?: 1,
-        perPage=25,
-        order="createdAt DESC"
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### Search
-```cfc
-function index() {
-    if (StructKeyExists(params, "q")) {
-        products = model("Product").findAll(
-            where="name LIKE :search OR description LIKE :search",
-            params={search: "%#params.q#%"}
-        );
-    } else {
-        products = model("Product").findAll();
-    }
-}
-```

----
-# wheels generate helper
-
-Generate global helper functions for use throughout the application.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=<helperName> [options]
-
-# Can also be used as:
-wheels g helper name=<helperName> [options]
-```
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-- **Named parameters**: `param=value` (e.g., `name=Format`, `functions="truncate,slugify"`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag` equals `flag=true` (e.g., `--force` equals `force=true`)
-- **Param with value**: `--param=value` equals `param=value` (e.g., `--description="Formatting utilities"`)
-
-**Recommended:** Use named parameters with flags: `wheels generate helper name=StringUtils --functions="truncate,highlight,slugify"`
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels generate helper` command creates global helper function files that are automatically available throughout your application. Helper functions are useful for view formatting, data transformation, and reusable utility functions. All generated helpers are automatically included in `/app/global/functions.cfm` and become globally accessible.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `name` | Helper name (e.g., Format, StringUtils) | Required |
-
-### Helper Name Validation
-- Helper name must be a valid CFML component name
-- Cannot contain spaces or special characters
-- Will automatically append "Helper" if not present (Format → FormatHelper)
-- Must be unique (cannot overwrite existing helper without `--force`)
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Valid Values | Default |
-|--------|-------------|--------------|---------|
-| `functions` | Comma-separated list of functions to generate | Valid CFML function names | `"helperFunction"` |
-| `description` | it will be placed as comment at the top of helper file | Any descriptive text | `""` |
-| `force` | Overwrite existing files and skip validation | `true`, `false` | `false` |
-
-### Function Name Validation
-- Function names must be unique across all helper files
-- Must be valid CFML function names
-- Cannot duplicate existing global functions
-- Validation is skipped when using `--force`
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic helper
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=Format
-```
-Creates:
-- `/app/helpers/FormatHelper.cfm` with default helper function
-- Adds include to `/app/global/functions.cfm`
-- `/tests/specs/helpers/FormatHelperSpec.cfc` test file
-
-### Helper with multiple functions
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=StringUtils --functions="truncate,highlight,slugify"
-```
-Creates a helper with three functions: `truncate()`, `highlight()`, `slugify()`
-
-### Helper with description
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=DateHelpers --description="Date formatting and manipulation utilities" --functions="formatDate,timeAgo"
-```
-Adds description to the helper file header
-
-### Force overwrite existing helper
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=Format --force
-```
-Overwrites existing FormatHelper.cfm without prompting
-
-### Complex helper with smart templates
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=Format --functions="currency,date,truncate"
-```
-The generator recognizes common function names and creates appropriate implementations:
-- `currency` → Currency formatting logic
-- `date` → Date formatting logic
-- `truncate` → Text truncation logic
-
-## Generated Code Examples
-
-### Basic Helper Structure
-```cfm
-/**
- * FormatHelper
- */
-<cfscript>
-
-	/**
-	 * Helper function helper function
-	 * @value.hint The value to process
-	 * @options.hint Additional options
-	 * @return Processed value
-	 */
-	public any function helperFunction(
-		required any value,
-		struct options = {}
-	) {
-		// TODO: Implement helperFunction logic
-		return arguments.value;
-	}
-
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Helper with Description
-```cfm
-/**
- * DateHelper
- * Date formatting and manipulation utilities
- */
-<cfscript>
-
-	/**
-	 * Format date helper function
-	 * @value.hint The value to process
-	 * @options.hint Additional options
-	 * @return Processed value
-	 */
-	public any function formatDate(
-		required any value,
-		struct options = {}
-	) {
-		// Format date with relative time support
-		if (!isDate(arguments.value)) {
-			return arguments.value;
-		}
-
-		local.format = arguments.options.format ?: "medium";
-
-		switch(local.format) {
-			case "relative":
-				return timeAgoInWords(arguments.value);
-			case "short":
-				return dateFormat(arguments.value, "m/d/yy");
-			case "long":
-				return dateFormat(arguments.value, "mmmm d, yyyy");
-			default:
-				return dateFormat(arguments.value, "mmm d, yyyy");
-		}
-	}
-
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Smart Template: Truncate Function
-```cfm
-/**
- * Truncate helper function
- * @value.hint The value to process
- * @options.hint Additional options
- * @return Processed value
- */
-public any function truncate(
-	required any value,
-	struct options = {}
-) {
-	// Truncate text to specified length
-	local.length = arguments.options.length ?: 100;
-	local.suffix = arguments.options.suffix ?: "...";
-
-	if (len(arguments.value) <= local.length) {
-		return arguments.value;
-	}
-
-	return left(arguments.value, local.length - len(local.suffix)) & local.suffix;
-}
-```
-
-### Smart Template: Slugify Function
-```cfm
-/**
- * Slugify helper function
- * @value.hint The value to process
- * @options.hint Additional options
- * @return Processed value
- */
-public any function slugify(
-	required any value,
-	struct options = {}
-) {
-	// Convert text to URL-friendly slug
-	local.slug = lCase(trim(arguments.value));
-
-	// Replace spaces with hyphens
-	local.slug = reReplace(local.slug, "\s+", "-", "all");
-
-	// Remove non-alphanumeric characters except hyphens
-	local.slug = reReplace(local.slug, "[^a-z0-9\-]", "", "all");
-
-	// Remove multiple consecutive hyphens
-	local.slug = reReplace(local.slug, "\-+", "-", "all");
-
-	// Trim hyphens from start and end
-	local.slug = reReplace(local.slug, "^\-|\-$", "", "all");
-
-	return local.slug;
-}
-```
-
-### Smart Template: Currency Function
-```cfm
-/**
- * Currency helper function
- * @value.hint The value to process
- * @options.hint Additional options
- * @return Processed value
- */
-public any function currency(
-	required any value,
-	struct options = {}
-) {
-	// Format currency values
-	if (!isNumeric(arguments.value)) {
-		return arguments.value;
-	}
-
-	local.currency = arguments.options.currency ?: "USD";
-	local.symbol = arguments.options.symbol ?: "$";
-
-	return local.symbol & numberFormat(arguments.value, "0.00");
-}
-```
-
-## Automatic Include in functions.cfm
-
-When you generate a helper, it's automatically added to `/app/global/functions.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-//=====================================================================
-//=     Global Functions
-//=====================================================================
-include "../helpers/FormatHelper.cfm";
-include "../helpers/StringUtilsHelper.cfm";
-include "../helpers/DateHelper.cfm";
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Using Helpers in Your Application
-
-### In Controllers
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-	function index() {
-		users = model("User").findAll();
-
-		// Use helper function
-		for (user in users) {
-			user.displayName = truncate(user.bio, {length: 50});
-		}
-	}
-
-}
-```
-
-### In Views
-```cfm
-<cfparam name="post">
-<cfoutput>
-	<article>
-		<h1>#post.title#</h1>
-		<p class="meta">
-			Posted #formatDate(post.createdAt, {format: "relative"})# by #post.author#
-		</p>
-		<div class="content">
-			#post.content#
-		</div>
-		<div class="permalink">
-			/posts/#slugify(post.title)#
-		</div>
-	</article>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### In Models
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-
-	function init() {
-		beforeSave("generateSlug");
-	}
-
-	private function generateSlug() {
-		if (!StructKeyExists(this, "slug") || !len(this.slug)) {
-			this.slug = slugify(this.title);
-		}
-	}
-
-}
-```
-
-## Smart Template Functions
-
-The generator recognizes common function name patterns and creates appropriate implementations:
-
-| Function Name Pattern | Generated Implementation |
-|----------------------|--------------------------|
-| Contains "truncate" | Text truncation with length and suffix options |
-| Contains "highlight" | Search term highlighting with CSS class |
-| Contains "slugify" | URL-friendly slug generation |
-| Contains "date" | Date formatting with relative time support |
-| Contains "currency" or "money" | Currency formatting with symbol |
-| Contains "format" | Generic formatting based on data type |
-| Other names | Basic template with TODO comment |
-
-## Function Conflict Detection
-
-The generator validates that function names are unique across all helper files:
-
-### Valid: Unique Function Names
-```bash
-# First helper
-wheels generate helper name=String --functions="truncate,slugify"
-
-# Second helper (different functions)
-wheels generate helper name=Format --functions="currency,date"
-# Success: No conflicts
-```
-
-### Invalid: Duplicate Function Names
-```bash
-# First helper
-wheels generate helper name=String --functions="truncate"
-
-# Second helper (same function)
-wheels generate helper name=Text --functions="truncate"
-# Error: The following function(s) already exist in helper files: truncate (in StringHelper.cfm)
-```
-
-### Override with Force
-```bash
-# Overwrite with force flag (skips validation)
-wheels generate helper name=Text --functions="truncate" --force=true
-# Success: File created (may cause global function conflicts)
-```
-
-## Common Use Cases
-
-### Text Formatting Helpers
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=TextFormat --functions="truncate,excerpt,wordCount,capitalize"
-```
-
-### Date/Time Helpers
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=DateHelpers --functions="formatDate,timeAgo,businessDays"
-```
-
-### URL/String Helpers
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=URLHelpers --functions="slugify,urlEncode,sanitizeFilename"
-```
-
-### Number Formatting Helpers
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=NumberFormat --functions="currency,percentage,fileSize"
-```
-
-### Validation Helpers
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=ValidationHelpers --functions="isEmail,isPhone,isURL"
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Naming**: Use descriptive helper names that indicate purpose (StringUtils, DateHelpers)
-2. **Function Names**: Keep function names concise and action-oriented (truncate, not truncateText)
-3. **Global Scope**: Remember helpers are global - use unique, descriptive names
-4. **Options Pattern**: Use options struct for flexibility instead of many parameters
-5. **Type Checking**: Validate input types before processing
-6. **Documentation**: Use hint attributes to document parameters and return values
-7. **Testing**: Always create and run tests for helper functions
-8. **Validation**: Check for function conflicts before creating helpers
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Options Struct Pattern
-```cfm
-public any function formatText(
-	required any value,
-	struct options = {}
-) {
-	// Extract options with defaults
-	local.maxLength = arguments.options.maxLength ?: 100;
-	local.suffix = arguments.options.suffix ?: "...";
-	local.preserveWords = arguments.options.preserveWords ?: true;
-
-	// Process with options
-	// ...
-}
-```
-
-### Type-Safe Helpers
-```cfm
-public string function formatCurrency(
-	required any value,
-	struct options = {}
-) {
-	// Validate input
-	if (!isNumeric(arguments.value)) {
-		throw(type="InvalidArgument", message="Value must be numeric");
-	}
-
-	// Process
-	return dollarFormat(arguments.value);
-}
-```
-
-### Chainable Helpers
-```cfm
-public string function sanitize(required string value) {
-	return trim(htmlEditFormat(arguments.value));
-}
-
-// Usage: displayText = sanitize(userInput)
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-The generator automatically creates test files:
-
-```cfc
-// /tests/specs/helpers/FormatHelperSpec.cfc
-component extends="wheels.Test" {
-
-	function setup() {
-		// Global helpers are automatically included
-	}
-
-	function test_truncate() {
-		// Test truncate function
-		local.input = "test value";
-		local.result = truncate(local.input);
-
-		assert(isDefined("local.result"), "Function should return a value");
-	}
-
-}
-```
-
-### Running Tests
-```bash
-wheels test run
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Invalid Helper Name
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name="My Helper"
-# Error: Invalid helper name: Cannot contain spaces
-```
-
-### Function Name Conflict
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=Utils --functions="truncate"
-# Error: The following function(s) already exist in helper files: truncate (in StringHelper.cfm)
-```
-
-### File Already Exists
-```bash
-wheels generate helper name=Format
-# Error: Helper already exists: FormatHelper.cfm. Use force=true to overwrite.
-```

-
-# Can also be used as:
-wheels g migration name=<migrationName> [options]
-```
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-- **Named parameters**: `param=value` (e.g., `name=CreateUsersTable`, `table=users`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag` equals `flag=true` (e.g., `--force` equals `force=true`)
-- **Param with value**: `--param=value` equals `param=value` (e.g., `--description="User management"`)
-
-**Recommended:** Use named parameters: `wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable --create=users`
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels generate migration` command creates database migration files using pre-built templates. Migrations provide version control for your database schema, allowing you to incrementally modify your database structure and roll back changes when needed. The command intelligently detects migration type from the name pattern and uses appropriate templates with transaction handling and error management.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `name` | Migration name (e.g., CreateUsersTable, AddEmailToUsers) | Required |
-
-### Migration Name Conventions
-- Must start with a letter
-- Can contain letters, numbers, and underscores
-- Use PascalCase for readability
-- Should describe the migration action clearly
-
-**Common Patterns:**
-- `Create[Table]Table` - Creates a new table
-- `Add[Column]To[Table]` - Adds column(s) to existing table
-- `Remove[Column]From[Table]` - Removes column(s) from table
-- `Rename[OldColumn]To[NewColumn]` - Renames a column
-- `Change[Column]In[Table]` - Modifies column type/properties
-- `CreateIndexOn[Table]` - Adds an index
-- `RemoveIndexFrom[Table]` - Removes an index
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Valid Values | Default |
-|--------|-------------|--------------|---------|
-| `create` | Table name to create (forces create_table type) | Valid table name | `""` |
-| `table` | Table name to modify (for column operations) | Valid table name | `""` |
-| `drop` | Table name to drop (forces remove_table type) | Valid table name | `""` |
-| `description` | Migration description (added as hint) | Any descriptive text | `""` |
-| `force` | Overwrite existing migration file | `true`, `false` | `false` |
-
-## Migration Types and Templates
-
-The command automatically detects the migration type and uses the appropriate template:
-
-| Type | Template | Detected Pattern | Example |
-|------|----------|------------------|---------|
-| Create Table | `create-table.txt` | `Create*Table` | CreateUsersTable |
-| Remove Table | `remove-table.txt` | `Drop*Table`, `Remove*Table` | DropUsersTable |
-| Add Column | `create-column.txt` | `Add*To*` | AddEmailToUsers |
-| Remove Column | `remove-column.txt` | `Remove*From*` | RemoveAgeFromUsers |
-| Change Column | `change-column.txt` | `Change*In*` | ChangeNameInUsers |
-| Rename Column | `rename-column.txt` | `Rename*To*` | RenameFirstnameToFullname |
-| Add Index | `create-index.txt` | `CreateIndexOn*` | CreateIndexOnUsersEmail |
-| Remove Index | `remove-index.txt` | `RemoveIndexFrom*` | RemoveIndexFromUsers |
-| Blank | `blank.txt` | Any other pattern | CustomMigration |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Create Table Migration
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable
-```
-Creates migration using `create-table.txt` template with transaction handling.
-
-### Create Table with Explicit Table Name
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable --create=users
-```
-Forces create_table type and uses "users" as table name.
-
-### Add Column Migration
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=AddEmailToUsers --table=users
-```
-Creates migration using `create-column.txt` template.
-
-### Remove Column Migration
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=RemoveAgeFromUsers --table=users
-```
-Creates migration using `remove-column.txt` template.
-
-### Drop Table Migration
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=DropProductsTable
-```
-Creates migration using `remove-table.txt` template.
-
-### With Description
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable --description="User authentication table"
-```
-Adds description as hint to the migration component.
-
-### Blank/Custom Migration
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=MigrateUserData --description="Move user data to new structure"
-```
-Creates blank migration for custom migration code.
-
-### Force Overwrite
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable --force=true
-```
-Overwrites existing migration file.
-
-## Generated Code Examples
-
-### Create Table Migration (Using Template)
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="CreateUsersTable" {
-
-	function up() {
-		transaction {
-			try {
-				t = createTable(name = 'users', force='false', id='true', primaryKey='id');
-				t.timestamps();
-				t.create();
-			} catch (any e) {
-				local.exception = e;
-			}
-
-			if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-				transaction action="rollback";
-				Throw(errorCode = "1", detail = local.exception.detail, message = local.exception.message, type = "any");
-			} else {
-				transaction action="commit";
-			}
-		}
-	}
-

-
-	function up() {
-		transaction {
-			try {
-				addColumn(table='users', columnType='string', columnName='column_name', default='', null='true', limit='255');
-			} catch (any e) {
-				local.exception = e;
-			}
-
-			if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {

-			} else {
-				transaction action="commit";
-			}
-		}
-	}
-
-}
-```
-
-## Smart Name Detection
-
-The command infers table names from migration name patterns:
-
-### Pattern Detection Examples
-
-| Migration Name | Detected Type | Inferred Table | Template Used |
-|---------------|---------------|----------------|---------------|
-| `CreateUsersTable` | create_table | users | create-table.txt |
-| `DropProductsTable` | remove_table | products | remove-table.txt |
-| `AddEmailToUsers` | create_column | users | create-column.txt |
-| `RemoveAgeFromUsers` | remove_column | users | remove-column.txt |
-| `RenameFirstnameToFullname` | rename_column | (needs --table) | rename-column.txt |
-| `ChangeStatusInOrders` | change_column | orders | change-column.txt |
-| `CreateIndexOnUsersEmail` | create_index | users | create-index.txt |
-| `CustomDataMigration` | blank | N/A | blank.txt |
-
-## Template System
-
-All migrations use templates from `/cli/src/templates/dbmigrate/`:
-
-### Available Templates
-- `blank.txt` - Empty migration with transaction wrapper
-- `create-table.txt` - Create table with timestamps
-- `remove-table.txt` - Drop table with reversible down()
-- `create-column.txt` - Add column with options
-- `remove-column.txt` - Remove column
-- `change-column.txt` - Modify column type/properties
-- `rename-column.txt` - Rename column
-- `create-index.txt` - Add index to table
-- `remove-index.txt` - Remove index from table
-
-### Template Customization
-You can override default templates by placing custom versions in `/app/snippets/dbmigrate/`:
-
-```bash
-# Copy template to customize
-cp cli/src/templates/dbmigrate/create-table.txt app/snippets/dbmigrate/create-table.txt
-
-# Edit your custom template
-# Wheels will automatically use your version
-```
-
-## Template Variables
-
-Templates use placeholder variables that are replaced during generation:
-
-| Variable | Description | Example |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `\|DBMigrateDescription\|` | Migration hint/description | CreateUsersTable |
-| `\|tableName\|` | Table name | users |
-| `\|columnName\|` | Column name | email |
-| `\|columnType\|` | Column type | string |
-| `\|force\|` | Force table creation | false |
-| `\|id\|` | Auto-create ID column | true |
-| `\|primaryKey\|` | Primary key name | id |
-| `\|allowNull\|` | Allow NULL values | true |
-| `\|limit\|` | Column length limit | 255 |
-| `\|default\|` | Default value | "" |
-| `\|unique\|` | Unique index | false |
-
-## Migration Workflow
-
-### 1. Generate Migration
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable
-```
-
-### 2. Edit Migration File
-```bash
-# File created at: /app/migrator/migrations/20250119123045_CreateUsersTable.cfc
-```
-
-Add columns to the migration:
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        try {
-            t = createTable(name = 'users', force='false', id='true', primaryKey='id');
-            t.string(columnNames='firstName,lastName', allowNull=false);
-            t.string(columnNames='email', allowNull=false, limit=100);
-            t.boolean(columnNames='active', default=true);
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-
-            // Add index on email
-            addIndex(table='users', columnNames='email', unique=true);
-        } catch (any e) {
-            local.exception = e;
-        }
-
-        if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-            transaction action="rollback";
-            Throw(errorCode = "1", detail = local.exception.detail, message = local.exception.message, type = "any");
-        } else {
-            transaction action="commit";
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Check Migration Status
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate info
-```
-
-### 4. Run Migration
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-### 5. Rollback if Needed
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate down
-```
-
-## Column Types
-
-Common column types available in migrations:
-
-| Method | Database Type | Example |
-|--------|---------------|---------|
-| `t.string()` | VARCHAR(255) | `t.string(columnNames='email')` |
-| `t.text()` | TEXT | `t.text(columnNames='bio')` |
-| `t.integer()` | INTEGER | `t.integer(columnNames='age')` |
-| `t.biginteger()` | BIGINT | `t.biginteger(columnNames='views')` |
-| `t.decimal()` | DECIMAL | `t.decimal(columnNames='price', precision=10, scale=2)` |
-| `t.float()` | FLOAT | `t.float(columnNames='rating')` |
-| `t.boolean()` | BOOLEAN | `t.boolean(columnNames='active')` |
-| `t.date()` | DATE | `t.date(columnNames='birthdate')` |
-| `t.datetime()` | DATETIME | `t.datetime(columnNames='registeredAt')` |
-| `t.time()` | TIME | `t.time(columnNames='startTime')` |
-| `t.binary()` | BLOB | `t.binary(columnNames='avatar')` |
-| `t.timestamps()` | DATETIME | Creates createdAt and updatedAt |
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Descriptive Names**: Use clear, action-oriented migration names
-2. **One Change Per Migration**: Keep migrations focused on single changes
-3. **Always Include down()**: Make migrations reversible when possible
-4. **Use Transactions**: Templates include transactions by default
-5. **Test Rollbacks**: Always test `down()` method works correctly
-6. **Index Performance Columns**: Add indexes on frequently queried columns
-7. **Document Complex Migrations**: Use description parameter for clarity
-8. **Avoid Data in Migrations**: Keep migrations schema-only when possible
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Create Table with Relationships
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        try {
-            t = createTable(name = 'posts', force='false', id='true');
-            t.string(columnNames='title', allowNull=false);
-            t.text(columnNames='content');
-            t.references(name='userId', references='users');
-            t.boolean(columnNames='published', default=false);
-            t.timestamps();
-            t.create();
-
-            addIndex(table='posts', columnNames='userId');
-        } catch (any e) {
-            local.exception = e;
-        }
-        // Transaction handling...
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Add Multiple Columns
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        try {
-            addColumn(table='users', columnType='string', columnName='phoneNumber', limit=20);
-            addColumn(table='users', columnType='boolean', columnName='emailVerified', default=false);
-            addColumn(table='users', columnType='datetime', columnName='lastLoginAt');
-
-            addIndex(table='users', columnNames='phoneNumber');
-        } catch (any e) {
-            local.exception = e;
-        }
-        // Transaction handling...
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Data Migration
-```cfc
-function up() {
-    transaction {
-        try {
-            // Add new column
-            addColumn(table='users', columnType='string', columnName='fullName');
-
-            // Migrate data (use with caution)
-            execute("UPDATE users SET fullName = CONCAT(firstName, ' ', lastName)");
-
-            // Remove old columns
-            removeColumn(table='users', columnName='firstName');
-            removeColumn(table='users', columnName='lastName');
-        } catch (any e) {
-            local.exception = e;
-        }
-        // Transaction handling...
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Migration Already Exists
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable
-# Error: Migration file already exists. Use force=true to overwrite.
-
-# Solution:
-wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable --force=true
-```
-
-### Invalid Migration Name
-```bash
-wheels generate migration name="Create Users Table"
-# Error: Invalid migration name. Use only letters, numbers, and underscores.
-
-# Solution:
-wheels generate migration name=CreateUsersTable
-```
-
-### Migration Fails to Run
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-# Error during migration execution
-
-# Check the migration file for syntax errors
-# Review database logs
-# Test the down() method
-wheels dbmigrate down
-```
-
-## Template Benefits
-
-Using templates provides several advantages:
-
-**Transaction Safety** - All operations wrapped in transactions
-**Error Handling** - Automatic try/catch with rollback
-**Consistency** - Same structure across all migrations
-**Best Practices** - Templates follow Wheels conventions
-**Customizable** - Override templates in /app/snippets/
-**Maintainability** - Centralized template updates

-## Basic Model Examples
-
-### Basic Model
-```cfc
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function init() {
-        // Table name (optional if following conventions)

-        // Nested properties
-        nestedProperties(associations="comments", allowDelete=true);
-        
-        // Validations
-        validatesPresenceOf("title,content,userId");
-        validatesLengthOf("title", maximum=255);
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-### Common Validation Methods
-
-```cfc
-// Presence
-validatesPresenceOf("name,email");
-
-// Uniqueness
-validatesUniquenessOf("email,username");
-
-// Format
-validatesFormatOf("email", regex="^[^@]+@[^@]+\.[^@]+$");
-validatesFormatOf("phone", regex="^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$");
-
-// Length
-validatesLengthOf("username", minimum=3, maximum=20);
-validatesLengthOf("bio", maximum=500);
-
-// Numerical

-validatesExclusionOf("username", list="admin,root,system");
-
-// Confirmation
-validatesConfirmationOf("password");
-
-// Custom
-validate("customValidation");
-```
-
-### Common Association Methods
-
-### Belongs To
-```cfc
-belongsTo("user");
-belongsTo(name="author", modelName="user", foreignKey="authorId");
-```
-
-### Has Many
-```cfc
-hasMany("comments");
-hasMany(name="posts", dependent="deleteAll", orderBy="createdAt DESC");
-```
-
-### Has One
-```cfc
-hasOne("profile");
-hasOne(name="address", dependent="delete");
-```
-
-### Many to Many
-```cfc
-hasMany("categorizations");
-hasMany(name="categories", through="categorizations");
-```
-
-### Common Callbacks
-
-```cfc
-// Before callbacks
-beforeCreate("method1,method2");
-beforeUpdate("method3");
-beforeSave("method4");
-beforeDelete("method5");
-beforeValidation("method6");
-
-// After callbacks
-afterCreate("method7");
-afterUpdate("method8");
-afterSave("method9");
-afterDelete("method10");
-afterValidation("method11");
-afterFind("method12");
-afterInitialization("method13");
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Naming**: Use singular names (User, not Users)
-2. **Properties**: Define all database columns with correct types
-3. **Validations**: Add comprehensive validations in model code
-4. **Associations**: Define all relationships using PascalCase
-5. **Callbacks**: Use for automatic behaviors
-6. **Indexes**: Add to migration for performance
-7. **Validation**: Always validate parameters before running command
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Soft Deletes
-```cfc
-function init() {
-    softDeletes();
-}
-```
-
-### Calculated Properties
-```cfc
-function init() {
-    property(name="fullName", sql="firstName + ' ' + lastName");
-}
-```
-
-### Scopes
-```cfc
-function scopeActive() {
-    return where("active = ?", [true]);
-}
-
-function scopeRecent(required numeric days=7) {
-    return where("createdAt >= ?", [DateAdd("d", -arguments.days, Now())]);
-}
-```
-
-### Default Values
-```cfc
-function init() {
-    beforeCreate("setDefaults");
-}
-
-private function setDefaults() {
-    if (!StructKeyExists(this, "status")) {
-        this.status = "pending";
-    }
-    if (!StructKeyExists(this, "priority")) {
-        this.priority = 5;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-Generate model tests:
-```bash
-wheels generate model name=User --properties="email:string,name:string"
-wheels generate test type=model name=User
-```

-# wheels generate property
-
-Add properties to existing model files with database migrations and view updates.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels generate property name=<modelName> columnName=<propertyName> [options]
-
-#Can also be used as:
-wheels g property name=<modelName> columnName=<propertyName> [options]
-```
-
-## Parameter Syntax
-
-CommandBox supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Named parameters**: `name=value` (e.g., `name=User`, `columnName=email`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag` equals `flag=true` (e.g., `--allowNull` equals `allowNull=true`)
-- **Flag with value**: `--flag=value` equals `flag=value` (e.g., `--dataType=boolean`)
-
-**Note**: Flag syntax (`--flag`) avoids positional/named parameter conflicts and is recommended for boolean options.
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels generate property` command generates a database migration to add a property to an existing model and scaffolds it into `_form.cfm` and `show.cfm` views.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `name` | Model name (table name) | Required |
-| `columnName` | Name of column to add | Required |
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Valid Values | Default |
-|--------|-------------|--------------|---------|
-| `dataType` | Type of column | `biginteger`, `binary`, `boolean`, `date`, `datetime`, `decimal`, `float`, `integer`, `string`, `text`, `time`, `timestamp`, `uuid` | `string` |
-| `default` | Default value for column | Any valid default value | `""` |
-| `allowNull` | Whether to allow null values | `true`, `false` | `true` |
-| `limit` | Character or integer size limit | Numeric value | `0` |
-| `precision` | Precision for decimal columns | Numeric value | `0` |
-| `scale` | Scale for decimal columns | Numeric value | `0` |
-
-## Data Type Options
-
-| Type | Database Type | Description |
-|------|---------------|-------------|
-| `biginteger` | BIGINT | Large integer values |
-| `binary` | BLOB | Binary data |
-| `boolean` | BOOLEAN | Boolean (true/false) values |
-| `date` | DATE | Date only |
-| `datetime` | DATETIME | Date and time |
-| `decimal` | DECIMAL | Decimal numbers with precision/scale |
-| `float` | FLOAT | Floating point numbers |
-| `integer` | INTEGER | Integer values |
-| `string` | VARCHAR | Variable character strings |
-| `text` | TEXT | Long text content |
-| `time` | TIME | Time only |
-| `timestamp` | TIMESTAMP | Timestamp values |
-| `uuid` | VARCHAR(35) | UUID/GUID strings |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic string property
-```bash
-wheels generate property name=User columnName=firstName
-```
-Creates a string property called `firstName` on the User model.
-
-### Boolean property with default
-```bash
-wheels generate property name=User columnName=isActive --dataType=boolean --default=0
-```
-Creates a boolean property with default value of 0 (false).
-
-### Datetime property
-```bash
-wheels generate property name=User columnName=lastLoggedIn --dataType=datetime
-```
-Creates a datetime property on the User model.
-
-### Decimal property with precision
-```bash
-wheels generate property name=Product columnName=price --dataType=decimal --precision=10 --scale=2
-```
-Creates a decimal property with 10 total digits and 2 decimal places.
-
-### String with character limit
-```bash
-wheels generate property name=User columnName=username --dataType=string --limit=50 --allowNull=false
-```
-Creates a required string property with maximum 50 characters.
-
-## What the Command Does
-
-1. **Creates Database Migration**: Generates a migration file to add the column to the database
-2. **Updates Form View**: Adds the property to `_form.cfm` if it exists
-3. **Updates Index View**: Adds the property to `index.cfm` table if it exists
-4. **Updates Show View**: Adds the property to `show.cfm` if it exists
-5. **Offers Migration**: Prompts to run the migration immediately
-
-## Generated Files
-
-### Database Migration
-**File**: `app/migrator/migrations/[timestamp]_create_column__[tableName]_[columnName].cfc`
-
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-
-    function up() {
-        transaction {
-            addColumn(
-                table = "users",
-                columnName = "firstName",
-                columnType = "string",
-                limit = 255,
-                allowNull = true
-            );
-        }
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        transaction {
-            removeColumn(table = "users", columnName = "firstName");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### View Updates
-When views exist, the command adds the new property:
-
-**Form View**: Adds appropriate input field
-```cfm
-#textField(objectName="user", property="firstName")#
-```
-
-**Index View**: Adds column to table
-```cfm
-<th>First Name</th>
-<td>#user.firstName#</td>
-```
-
-**Show View**: Adds property display
-```cfm
-<p><strong>First Name:</strong> #user.firstName#</p>
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. Run migrations immediately when prompted
-2. Use semantic property names (firstName, not fname)
-3. Set appropriate defaults for boolean and numeric fields
-4. Consider null constraints based on business logic
-5. Add one property at a time for better change tracking

-# wheels generate route
-
-Generate route definitions for your Wheels application's `/config/routes.cfm` file.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels generate route [objectname]
-#can also be used as:
-wheels g route [objectname]
-
-# HTTP method routes
-wheels generate route --get="pattern,controller##action"
-wheels generate route --post="pattern,controller##action"
-wheels generate route --put="pattern,controller##action"
-wheels generate route --patch="pattern,controller##action"
-wheels generate route --delete="pattern,controller##action"
-
-# Root route
-wheels generate route --root="controller##action"
-
-# Resources route (explicit)
-wheels generate route --resources=true [objectname]
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels generate route` command helps you create route definitions in your Wheels application's `/config/routes.cfm` file. It supports individual HTTP method routes, RESTful resource routes, and root routes.
-
-**IMPORTANT**: All HTTP method parameters must use the equals syntax: `--get="pattern,handler"` not `--get pattern,handler`
-
-## Parameter Syntax
-
-CommandBox supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Named parameters**: `name=value` (e.g., `objectname=products`, `get="pattern,handler"`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag` equals `flag=true` (e.g., `--resources` equals `resources=true`)
-- **Flag with value**: `--flag=value` equals `flag=value` (e.g., `--get="pattern,handler"`)
-
-**Note**: Flag syntax (`--flag`) avoids positional/named parameter conflicts and is recommended for boolean options.
-
-## Arguments
-
-| Argument | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `objectname` | The name of the resource for resources route | Optional (required for resources routes) |
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Description | Example | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|---------|
-| `--get` | Create a GET route with pattern,handler format | `--get="products/sale,products##sale"` | |
-| `--post` | Create a POST route with pattern,handler format | `--post="contact,contact##send"` | |
-| `--put` | Create a PUT route with pattern,handler format | `--put="users/[key],users##update"` | |
-| `--patch` | Create a PATCH route with pattern,handler format | `--patch="profiles,profiles##update"` | |
-| `--delete` | Create a DELETE route with pattern,handler format | `--delete="sessions,sessions##destroy"` | |
-| `--resources` | Create a resources route (use with objectname) | `--resources=true` | `false` |
-| `--root` | Create a root route with handler | `--root="pages##home"` | |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Resources Route (default)
-```bash
-wheels generate route products
-```
-
-Generates in `/config/routes.cfm`:
-```cfm
-.resources("products")
-```
-
-This creates all standard RESTful routes:
-- GET `/products` (index)
-- GET `/products/new` (new)
-- POST `/products` (create)
-- GET `/products/[key]` (show)
-- GET `/products/[key]/edit` (edit)
-- PUT/PATCH `/products/[key]` (update)
-- DELETE `/products/[key]` (delete)
-
-### GET Route
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="products/sale,products##sale"
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.get(pattern="products/sale", to="products##sale")
-```
-
-### POST Route
-```bash
-wheels generate route --post="api/users,api.users##create"
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.post(pattern="api/users", to="api.users##create")
-```
-
-### PUT Route
-```bash
-wheels generate route --put="users/[key]/activate,users##activate"
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.put(pattern="users/[key]/activate", to="users##activate")
-```
-
-### DELETE Route
-```bash
-wheels generate route --delete="sessions,sessions##destroy"
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.delete(pattern="sessions", to="sessions##destroy")
-```
-
-### Root Route
-```bash
-wheels generate route --root="pages##home"
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.root(to="pages##home", method="get")
-```
-
-### Explicit Resources Route
-```bash
-wheels generate route --resources=true users
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.resources("users")
-```
-
-## Route Patterns
-
-### Dynamic Segments
-Routes support dynamic segments using `[key]` notation:
-
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="users/[key]/profile,users##profile"
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.get(pattern="users/[key]/profile", to="users##profile")
-```
-
-The `[key]` parameter will be available as `params.key` in your controller.
-
-### Custom Parameters
-You can use any parameter name:
-
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="posts/[year]/[month],posts##archive"
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.get(pattern="posts/[year]/[month]", to="posts##archive")
-```
-
-Parameters will be available as `params.year` and `params.month` in your controller.
-
-### Pattern Only Routes
-If you omit the handler, the route will use standard controller/action mapping:
-
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="products/search"
-```
-
-Generates:
-```cfm
-.get(pattern="products/search")
-```
-
-This will map to the `search` action in the `products` controller.
-
-## Route File Integration
-
-### Generated Routes Location
-All routes are added to `/config/routes.cfm` at the CLI marker position:
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-mapper()
-    .resources("products")        // Existing routes
-    .get(pattern="about", to="pages#about")    // Existing routes
-
-    // CLI-Appends-Here            // CLI adds new routes here
-
-    .wildcard()                   // Wildcard should stay last
-    .root(to="home#index")        // Root route
-.end();
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Route Order
-The command automatically places new routes at the correct position before the wildcard route. Routes are processed in order, so specific routes must come before general ones.
-
-## Using Generated Routes
-
-### Route Helpers
-Resource routes automatically create URL helpers:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- For resources("products") --->
-#linkTo(route="products", text="All Products")#       <!-- /products -->
-#linkTo(route="product", key=123, text="View")#       <!-- /products/123 -->
-#linkTo(route="newProduct", text="Add Product")#     <!-- /products/new -->
-#linkTo(route="editProduct", key=123, text="Edit")#  <!-- /products/123/edit -->
-
-#urlFor(route="products")#           <!-- /products -->
-#urlFor(route="product", key=123)#   <!-- /products/123 -->
-```
-
-### Custom Route Helpers
-For custom routes, you'll need to manually create route names in your routes.cfm:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Add name parameter manually in routes.cfm --->
-.get(name="productSale", pattern="products/sale", to="products##sale")
-
-<!--- Then use in views --->
-#linkTo(route="productSale", text="Special Sale")#
-```
-
-## Detailed Parameter Usage
-
-### Command Line Parameter Formats
-
-Building on CommandBox's parameter syntax, Wheels route generation supports:
-
-#### 1. Named Parameters (Recommended)
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="products/sale,products##sale"
-wheels generate route --post="contact/send,contact##send"
-wheels generate route --resources=true --objectname=users
-wheels generate route --root="pages##home"
-```
-
-#### 2. Positional Parameters
-```bash
-wheels generate route products              # objectname (resources route)
-wheels g route users                        # Short alias with objectname
-```
-
-#### 3. Mixed Parameters
-```bash
-wheels generate route users --resources=true
-wheels generate route --objectname=products --resources=true
-```
-
-### Parameter Validation Rules
-
-#### HTTP Method Parameters
-- **Format**: `--method="pattern,handler"` or `--method="pattern"`
-- **Methods**: `get`, `post`, `put`, `patch`, `delete`
-- **Separator**: Comma (`,`) between pattern and handler
-- **Quotes**: Always use quotes around the value
-- **Handler Format**: `controller##action` (double hash required in CFML)
-
-#### Resources Parameters
-- **Format**: `--resources=true objectname` or `objectname --resources=true`
-- **Boolean**: Must be explicit `true` or `false`
-- **Objectname**: Required when using resources flag
-
-#### Root Parameters
-- **Format**: `--root="controller##action"`
-- **Handler**: Required controller and action
-- **Quotes**: Always use quotes
-
-### Parameter Examples by Type
-
-#### String Parameters with Handlers
-```bash
-# GET route with handler
-wheels generate route --get="api/users,api##index"
-
-# POST route with handler
-wheels generate route --post="users/login,sessions##create"
-
-# PUT route with handler
-wheels generate route --put="profiles/[key],profiles##update"
-```
-
-#### String Parameters without Handlers
-```bash
-# Pattern-only routes (uses convention)
-wheels generate route --get="products/search"
-wheels generate route --post="newsletter/signup"
-```
-
-#### Boolean Parameters
-```bash
-# Resources flag (explicit true/false)
-wheels generate route --resources=true products
-wheels generate route --resources=false    # Invalid - needs objectname
-```
-
-#### Mixed Parameter Combinations
-```bash
-# Objectname with resources flag
-wheels generate route products --resources=true
-wheels generate route --resources=true users
-
-# Multiple routes in sequence
-wheels generate route --get="login,sessions##new"
-wheels generate route --post="login,sessions##create"
-wheels generate route --delete="logout,sessions##destroy"
-```
-
-### Common Parameter Mistakes
-
- **Missing equals sign:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get products/sale,products##sale
-```
-
- **Missing quotes:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get=products/sale,products##sale
-```
-
- **Single hash instead of double:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="products/sale,products#sale"
-```
-
- **Missing objectname with resources:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --resources=true        # No objectname
-```
-
- **Correct formats:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="products/sale,products##sale"
-wheels generate route products --resources
-wheels generate route --root="pages##home"
-wheels generate route users    # Positional objectname
-```
-
-### Advanced Parameter Usage
-
-#### Dynamic URL Segments
-```bash
-# Single parameter
-wheels generate route --get="users/[key],users##show"
-
-# Multiple parameters
-wheels generate route --get="posts/[year]/[month],posts##archive"
-
-# Optional parameters (configure manually in routes.cfm)
-wheels generate route --get="blog/[category]" # Add [category?] manually
-```
-
-#### API-Style Routes
-```bash
-# RESTful API endpoints
-wheels generate route --get="api/v1/users,api.v1.users##index"
-wheels generate route --post="api/v1/users,api.v1.users##create"
-wheels generate route --put="api/v1/users/[key],api.v1.users##update"
-wheels generate route --delete="api/v1/users/[key],api.v1.users##destroy"
-```
-
-#### Namespace-Style Controllers
-```bash
-# Admin controllers
-wheels generate route --get="admin/dashboard,admin.dashboard##index"
-wheels generate route --get="admin/users,admin.users##index"
-
-# Module-based controllers
-wheels generate route --get="shop/products,shop.products##index"
-wheels generate route --post="shop/checkout,shop.checkout##process"
-```
-
-### Parameter Processing Details
-
-#### Command Line Processing
-1. **Quoted Parameters**: Preserve spaces and special characters
-2. **Equals Processing**: Splits parameter name from value
-3. **Boolean Conversion**: Converts "true"/"false" strings to boolean values
-4. **Array Processing**: CommandBox processes space-separated values as arrays
-
-#### Internal Parameter Handling
-1. **reconstructArgs()**: Processes CommandBox parameter format
-2. **Validation**: Checks required parameters are present
-3. **Route Generation**: Formats parameters for Wheels router syntax
-4. **File Injection**: Places routes at correct position in routes.cfm
-
-## Integration with Routes.cfm
-
-### CLI Marker
-The command looks for `// CLI-Appends-Here` comment to place new routes. If not found, it tries different indentation levels:
-
-1. `			// CLI-Appends-Here` (3 tabs)
-2. `		// CLI-Appends-Here` (2 tabs)
-3. `	// CLI-Appends-Here` (1 tab)
-4. `// CLI-Appends-Here` (no tabs)
-
-### Manual Route Organization
-After using the CLI, you may want to reorganize routes manually:
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-mapper()
-    // Public pages first
-    .get(pattern="about", to="pages##about")
-    .get(pattern="contact", to="contact##index")
-
-    // Resources grouped together
-    .resources("products")
-    .resources("users")
-
-    // Authentication routes
-    .get(pattern="login", to="sessions##new")
-    .post(pattern="login", to="sessions##create")
-
-    // CLI generated routes will appear here
-    // CLI-Appends-Here
-
-    .wildcard()  // Always keep wildcard last
-    .root(to="home##index", method="get")
-.end();
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use equals syntax**: Always use `--get="pattern,handler"` format
-2. **Resources for CRUD**: Use resources route for full CRUD operations
-3. **Custom routes for special actions**: Use HTTP method routes for non-CRUD actions
-4. **Check route order**: Specific routes before general ones
-5. **Test after generation**: Visit URLs to ensure routes work
-6. **Reload application**: Use `?reload=true` after route changes
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues and Solutions
-
-#### 1. Parameter Syntax Errors
-
-**Issue**: `"Missing argument"` errors when using HTTP method parameters
-
- **Incorrect:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get products/sale,products##sale    # Missing =
-wheels generate route --post contact send                   # Missing quotes and =
-```
-
- **Correct:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="products/sale,products##sale"  # With = and quotes
-wheels generate route --post="contact,sessions##create"     # Proper format
-```
-
-**Solution**: Always use equals syntax with quotes for HTTP method parameters.
-
-#### 2. CFML Syntax Errors
-
-**Issue**: Template compilation errors with single hash (`#`) in handlers
-
- **Incorrect:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="users,users#show"   # Single # causes CFML errors
-```
-
- **Correct:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --get="users,users##show"  # Double ## for CFML escaping
-```
-
-**Solution**: Always use double hash (`##`) in controller##action handlers.
-
-#### 3. Routes Not Working
-
-**Issue**: Generated routes don't respond or show 404 errors
-
-**Possible Causes:**
-- Application not reloaded after route changes
-- Route order conflicts (specific routes after wildcard)
-- Controller or action doesn't exist
-
-**Solutions:**
-```bash
-# 1. Always reload after route changes
-http://localhost:8080/?reload=true
-
-# 2. Check route order in routes.cfm
-# Ensure wildcard() comes AFTER specific routes
-
-# 3. Verify controller exists
-# For route: --get="products,products##sale"
-# Need: /app/controllers/Products.cfc with sale() function
-```
-
-#### 4. Parameter Parsing Issues
-
-**Issue**: Complex patterns not parsed correctly
-
- **Problematic:**
-```bash
-# Spaces in patterns without quotes
-wheels generate route --get=api/v1/users,api##index
-
-# Special characters not escaped
-wheels generate route --get="api-users,api#index"
-```
-
- **Solutions:**
-```bash
-# Always quote complex patterns
-wheels generate route --get="api/v1/users,api##index"
-
-# Use proper CFML escaping
-wheels generate route --get="api-users,api##index"
-```
-
-#### 5. Resources Route Issues
-
-**Issue**: Resources flag not working or missing objectname
-
- **Common Mistakes:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --resources=true              # Missing objectname
-wheels generate route --resources products          # Missing =true
-wheels generate route products --resource           # Wrong flag name
-```
-
- **Correct Usage:**
-```bash
-wheels generate route --resources=true products     # Explicit flag with objectname
-wheels generate route products --resources=true     # Alternative order
-wheels generate route products                      # Default resources (implicit)
-```
-
-#### 6. Route Placement Issues
-
-**Issue**: Routes added in wrong location or break existing routes
-
-**Common Problems:**
-- CLI marker `// CLI-Appends-Here` not found
-- Routes added after wildcard route
-- Malformed routes.cfm syntax
-
-**Solutions:**
-```cfm
-<!-- Ensure routes.cfm has proper structure -->
-<cfscript>
-mapper()
-    // Existing routes
-    .resources("products")
-
-    // CLI marker for new routes
-    // CLI-Appends-Here
-
-    // Wildcard MUST be last
-    .wildcard()
-
-    // Root route
-    .root(to="home##index", method="get")
-.end();  // Don't forget .end()!
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Validation and Testing
-
-#### Pre-Generation Checklist
-Before generating routes, verify:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Check current directory is Wheels app root
-ls config/routes.cfm    # Should exist
-
-# 2. Verify routes.cfm has CLI marker
-grep "CLI-Appends-Here" config/routes.cfm    # Should find marker
-
-# 3. Check routes.cfm syntax is valid
-# Look for proper mapper() and .end() structure
-```
-
-#### Post-Generation Validation
-After generating routes, always:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Reload application
-http://localhost:8080/?reload=true
-
-# 2. Test route in browser
-http://localhost:8080/your-new-route
-
-# 3. Check debug footer for route information
-# Look for your new route in the Routes section
-```
-
-#### Testing Generated Routes
-
-```bash
-# Test different HTTP methods
-curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/users
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/users -d "name=test"
-curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/users/1 -d "name=updated"
-curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/users/1
-```
-
-### Error Reference
-
-#### Common Error Messages
-
-**"Please provide either an objectname for a resources route or specify a route type"**
-- **Cause**: No parameters provided to command
-- **Solution**: Provide either objectname or HTTP method parameter
-
-**"key [TYPE] doesn't exist"**
-- **Cause**: Internal processing error (rare)
-- **Solution**: Try simpler route first, then add complexity
-
-**"Template compilation error"**
-- **Cause**: Single hash (`#`) in generated route
-- **Solution**: Check for double hash (`##`) in all handlers
-
-**"Route not found" (404 errors)**
-- **Cause**: Route not added or application not reloaded
-- **Solution**: Check routes.cfm and reload application
-
-### Best Practices for Avoiding Issues
-
-#### 1. Parameter Formatting
-```bash
-# Always use consistent formatting
-wheels generate route --get="pattern,handler"    #  Consistent
-wheels generate route --get pattern,handler      #  Inconsistent
-```
-
-#### 2. Route Planning
-```bash
-# Plan route structure before generating
-# 1. Resources routes first
-wheels generate route products
-wheels generate route users
-
-# 2. Custom routes second
-wheels generate route --get="search,search##index"
-wheels generate route --post="contact,contact##send"
-
-# 3. API routes with namespace pattern
-wheels generate route --get="api/products,api.products##index"
-```
-
-#### 3. Testing Strategy
-```bash
-# Generate one route at a time
-wheels generate route --get="test,test##index"
-# Test it works
-curl http://localhost:8080/test
-# Then generate next route
-```
-
-#### 4. Documentation
-```bash
-# Document custom routes in routes.cfm
-.get(name="productSearch", pattern="products/search", to="products##search")
-// Custom search endpoint for products - returns JSON
-```
-
-### Getting Help
-
-If you encounter issues not covered here:
-
-1. **Check the debug footer**: Shows all registered routes
-2. **Verify controller exists**: Match route handler to actual controller/action
-3. **Test with simple routes first**: Basic patterns before complex ones
-4. **Check Wheels routing guide**: For advanced routing features
-5. **Reload frequently**: Always reload after route changes

-# wheels generate scaffold
-
-Generate complete CRUD scaffolding for a resource including model, controller, views, tests, and migration.
-
-## Synopsis
-
-```bash
-wheels generate scaffold name [options]
-wheels g scaffold name [options]
-wheels g resource name [options]    # Alias for scaffold
-```
-
-## Description
-
-The `wheels scaffold` command (alias: `wheels g resource`) generates a complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) implementation including model, controller, views, tests, and database migration. It's the fastest way to create a fully functional resource.
-
-## CommandBox Parameter Syntax
-
-This command supports multiple parameter formats:
-
-- **Positional parameters**: `wheels generate scaffold Product` (resource name)
-- **Named parameters**: `name=value` (e.g., `name=Product`, `properties="name:string"`)
-- **Flag parameters**: `--flag` equals `flag=true` (e.g., `--api` equals `api=true`)
-- **Flag with value**: `--flag=value` (e.g., `--properties="name:string"`)
-
-**Parameter Mixing Rules:**
-
-**ALLOWED:**
-- All positional: `wheels generate scaffold Product`
-- All named: `name=Product properties="name:string"`
-- Positional + flags: `wheels generate scaffold Product --api --migrate`
-
-**NOT ALLOWED:**
-- Positional + named: `wheels generate scaffold Product properties="name:string"` (causes error)
-
-**Recommendation:** Use positional for resource name, flags for options: `wheels generate scaffold Product --properties="name:string" --api --migrate`
-
-## Arguments

-| `--tests` | Generate test files | `--tests=false` | `true` |
-| `--migrate` | Run migrations after scaffolding | `--migrate=true` or `--migrate` | `false` |
-| `--force` | Overwrite existing files | `--force=true` or `--force` | `false` |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic Examples
-
-```bash
-# Basic scaffold
-wheels g scaffold Product
-wheels g resource Product                    # Same as scaffold
-
-# With properties
-wheels g scaffold Product --properties="name:string,price:decimal,stock:integer"
-wheels g resource Product --properties="name:string,price:decimal,stock:integer"
-
-# With associations
-wheels g scaffold Order --properties="total:decimal,status:string" --belongsTo=User --hasMany=orderItems
-
-# API-only scaffold (no views)
-wheels g scaffold Product --api --properties="name:string,price:decimal"
-wheels g resource Product --api --properties="name:string,price:decimal"
-
-# With auto-migration
-wheels g scaffold Category --properties="name:string" --migrate
-```
-
-### Advanced Examples
-
-```bash
-# Complete e-commerce product
-wheels generate scaffold Product --properties="name:string,description:text,price:decimal,inStock:boolean" --belongsTo=Category --hasMany=orderItems,reviews --migrate
-
-# Blog system
-wheels generate scaffold Post --properties="title:string,content:text,published:boolean" --belongsTo=User --hasMany=comments --api
-```
-
-### Parameter Details
-
-**Properties Format:**
-- Format: `--properties="name:type,name2:type2"`
-- Types: `string`, `text`, `integer`, `decimal`, `boolean`, `date`, `datetime`, `time`
-- Always use quotes around the entire properties string
-
-**Associations:**
-- `--belongsTo=Model1,Model2` (PascalCase parent models)
-- `--hasMany=model1,model2` (camelCase plural child models)
-
-**Resource Name:**
-- Must be singular (e.g., `Product`, not `Products`)
-- PascalCase recommended (e.g., `OrderItem`, `UserProfile`)
-
-## What Gets Generated
-
-### Standard Scaffold
-
-1. **Model** (`/models/Product.cfc`) - Properties, validations, associations
-2. **Controller** (`/controllers/Products.cfc`) - All CRUD actions (index, show, new, create, edit, update, delete)
-3. **Views** (`/views/products/`) - index, show, new, edit, _form partial
-4. **Migration** (`/app/migrator/migrations/[timestamp]_create_products.cfc`) - Table creation with indexes
-5. **Tests** - Model, controller, and integration tests (if `--tests=true`)
-
-### API Scaffold
-
-1. **Model** - Same as standard
-2. **API Controller** - JSON responses only, no views
-3. **Migration** - Same as standard
-4. **API Tests** - JSON response tests
-
-## Generated Code Structure
-
-For `wheels scaffold Product --properties="name:string,price:decimal"`:
-
-**Model:** Properties with validations (presence, uniqueness, numerical)
-**Controller:** Full CRUD actions with flash messages and error handling
-**Views:** List, show, new/edit forms with proper encoding and form helpers
-**Migration:** Table with columns, timestamps, and indexes
-
-Run the command to see the complete generated code.
-
-## Routes Configuration
-
-Add to `/config/routes.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-<cfset resources("products")>
-```
-
-This creates all RESTful routes (index, new, create, show, edit, update, delete).
-
-## Post-Scaffold Steps
-
-1. **Run migration** (if not using `--migrate`): `wheels dbmigrate latest`
-2. **Add routes** to `/config/routes.cfm`: `<cfset resources("products")>`
-3. **Reload application**: `wheels reload`
-4. **Test**: Visit `/products` and test CRUD operations
-
-## Common Customizations
-
-**Search:**
-```cfc
-function index() {
-    products = StructKeyExists(params, "search")
-        ? model("Product").findAll(where="name LIKE :search", params={search: "%#params.search#%"})
-        : model("Product").findAll();
-}
-```
-
-**Pagination:**
-```cfc
-products = model("Product").findAll(page=params.page ?: 1, perPage=20);
-```
-
-**Authentication:**
-```cfc
-function init() {
-    filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
-}
-```
-
-## Template Customization
-
-Customize generated code by overriding templates:
-
-1. Copy templates from `/cli/templates/` to `/app/snippets/`
-2. Modify templates to match your project style
-3. CLI uses your custom templates automatically
-
-**Available Templates:**
-- `crud/index.txt`, `crud/show.txt`, `crud/new.txt`, `crud/edit.txt`, `crud/_form.txt`
-- `ModelContent.txt`, `ControllerContent.txt`
-
-**Template Placeholders:**
-- `|ObjectNameSingular|`, `|ObjectNamePlural|` - Lowercase names
-- `|ObjectNameSingularC|`, `|ObjectNamePluralC|` - Capitalized names
-- `|FormFields|` - Generated form fields
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-#### Parameter Syntax Errors
-
- **Wrong:**
-```bash
-wheels generate scaffold Product properties="name:string"    # Positional + named (ERROR)
-wheels generate scaffold Product --properties=name:string    # Missing quotes
-wheels generate scaffold Comment --belongsTo=product         # Wrong case (should be Product)
-```
-
- **Correct:**
-```bash
-wheels generate scaffold Product --properties="name:string,price:decimal"
-wheels generate scaffold Comment --belongsTo=Product --hasMany=replies
-```
-
-**Rules:**
-- Always use quotes around properties: `--properties="name:string"`
-- Use PascalCase for belongsTo: `--belongsTo=User`
-- Use camelCase plural for hasMany: `--hasMany=posts,comments`
-- Never mix positional and named parameters
-
-#### File Generation Issues
-
-**Problem:** Files not created or partially generated
-
-**Solutions:**
-- Check directory permissions: `ls -la app/models app/controllers`
-- Use `--force` to overwrite existing files
-- Use singular PascalCase names (e.g., `Product`, not `products` or `product-item`)
-
-#### Migration Issues
-
-**Problem:** Migrations not created or contain errors
-
-**Solutions:**
-- Use valid property types: `string`, `text`, `integer`, `decimal`, `boolean`, `date`, `datetime`
-- Check generated migration: `ls app/migrator/migrations/*create*`
-- Foreign keys are auto-generated for associations
-
-#### Route Issues
-
-**Problem:** Routes not working
-
-**Solution:** Add resources to `/config/routes.cfm`:
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-mapper()
-    .resources("products")
-    .wildcard()
-.end();
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### Validation Checklist
-
-**Before scaffolding:**
-1. Verify Wheels directory structure exists
-2. Check for naming conflicts
-3. Plan properties and associations
-
-**After scaffolding:**
-1. Check files were created: `ls app/models/ app/controllers/ app/views/`
-2. Run migrations: `wheels dbmigrate latest`
-3. Add routes to `routes.cfm`
-4. Test at `/products`
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Plan First**: Define properties, associations, and validations before scaffolding
-2. **Start Simple**: Begin with basic properties, add complexity later
-3. **Use Templates**: Customize templates in `/app/snippets/` to match your project standards
-4. **Test Immediately**: Run generated tests and visit the scaffold in browser
-5. **Security**: Add authentication/authorization filters after generation
-6. **Incremental**: Scaffold one resource at a time, test, then move to the next

-## Examples
-
-### Model Tests
-
-```bash
-# Basic model test
-wheels generate test model User
-```

-**Output:** `tests/specs/models/UserSpec.cfc`
-
-**Generated Code:**
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-

-                // Example: expect(isObject(user)).toBe(true);
-            });
-
-            it("should test custom model methods", function() {
-                // Test custom model methods here
-            });
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Model Test with CRUD Operations
-
-Generate a model test with create, read, update, delete operations:

-# With factory pattern for test data
-```bash
-wheels generate test model Order --crud --factory
-```
-
-**Output:** `tests/specs/models/UserSpec.cfc`
-
-**Generated Code:**
-```cfc
-beforeEach(function() {
-    // Factory pattern: create reusable test data with sensible defaults
-    variables.order = model("Order").new({
-        // Add default test attributes here
-    });
-});
-
-it("should create a new order", function() {
-    var newOrder = model("Order").create({

-
-### Additional Options
-
-```bash
-# Force overwrite existing files
-wheels generate test model User --force
-
-# Generate and open in editor
-wheels generate test controller Products --crud --open
-```
-
-## Generated Test Structure
-
-All generated tests include:
-
-- **TestBox 6 BDD Syntax**: Modern `describe()` and `it()` syntax
-- **Lifecycle Methods**: `beforeAll()`, `beforeEach()`, `afterEach()` hooks
-- **Proper Testing Patterns**:
-  - Models: `model().new()`, `model().create()`, `findByKey()`
-  - Controllers/Views/Integration: `cfhttp()` with status code assertions
-  - APIs: JSON serialization with proper headers
-- **Helpful Placeholders**: Comments guiding implementation
-
-## Running Tests
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-wheels test run
-
-# Run specific test bundle
-wheels test run --testBundles=ProductSpec
-
-# Run with coverage
-wheels test run --coverage
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Fill in Test Attributes**: Replace `// Add test attributes` comments with actual model attributes
-2. **Customize Assertions**: Add specific assertions for your application's business logic
-3. **Use Factory Pattern**: Use `--factory` flag for tests requiring multiple similar objects
-4. **Test Edge Cases**: Add tests for empty values, null inputs, boundary conditions
-5. **Clean Up Test Data**: Use `afterEach()` or transactions to clean up test data
-6. **Use Descriptive Test Names**: Keep `it()` descriptions clear and specific
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Tests Fail with "Model Not Found"
-Ensure your model exists in `/app/models/` before generating tests.
-
-### HTTP Tests Return 404
-Verify your routes are configured correctly in `/config/routes.cfm`.
-
-### Factory Tests Create Invalid Records
-Add required attributes in the `model().create()` calls with valid test data.

-- `crud/new` - New form view
-- `crud/show` - Show/detail view
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic view (no template)
-```bash
-# Positional
-wheels generate view user show
-
-# Named Parameters
-wheels g view objectName=user name=show
-```
-Creates: `/views/users/show.cfm` with empty content
-
-### View with CRUD template
-```bash
-wheels generate view user show crud/show
-```
-Creates: `/views/users/show.cfm` using the show template
-
-### Edit form with template
-```bash
-wheels generate view user edit crud/edit
-```
-Creates: `/views/users/edit.cfm` using the edit template
-
-### Form partial
-```bash
-wheels generate view user _form crud/_form
-```
-Creates: `/views/users/_form.cfm` using the form partial template
-
-### Index view
-```bash
-wheels generate view product index crud/index
-```
-Creates: `/views/products/index.cfm` using the index template
-
-### Force overwrite existing file
-```bash
-wheels generate view user show --force
-```
-Overwrites existing `/views/users/show.cfm`
-
-## Generated Code Examples
-
-### Without Template (blank file)
-```cfm
-<!--- View file created by wheels generate view --->
-```
-
-### With CRUD Index Template
-```cfm
-<!--- Product Index --->
-<cfparam name="products">
-<cfoutput>
-	<h1>Products index</h1>
-	<p>#linkTo(route="newProduct", text="Create New Product", class="btn btn-default")#</p>
-
-	<cfif products.recordcount>
-		<table class="table">
-			<thead>
-				<tr>
-					<th>ID</th>
-                    <!--- CLI-Appends-thead-Here --->
-					<th>Actions</th>
-				</tr>
-			</thead>
-			<tbody>
-				<cfloop query="products">
-				<tr>
-					<td>
-						#id#
-					</td>
-                    <!--- CLI-Appends-tbody-Here --->
-					<td>
-						<div class="btn-group">
-							#linkTo(route="Product", key=id, text="View", class="btn btn-xs btn-info", encode=false)#
-							#linkTo(route="editProduct", key=id, text="Edit", class="btn btn-xs btn-primary", encode=false)#
-						</div>
-						#buttonTo(route="Product", method="delete", key=id, text="Delete", class="pull-right", inputClass="btn btn-danger btn-xs", encode=false)#
-					</td>
-				</tr>
-				</cfloop>
-			</tbody>
-		</table>
-	<cfelse>
-		<p>Sorry, there are no Products yet</p>
-	</cfif>
-</cfoutput>
-
-```
-
-### With CRUD New Template
-```cfm
-<!--- Product Creation Form --->
-<cfparam name="product">
-<cfoutput>
-<h1>Create New Product</h1>
-#errorMessagesFor("product")#
-#startFormTag(id="productNewForm", action="create")#
-	#includePartial("form")#
-	#submitTag(value="Create Product")#
-#endFormTag()#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### With CRUD Show Template
-```cfm
-<!--- Product Show --->
-<cfparam name="product">
-<cfoutput>
-<h1>View Product</h1>
-<!--- CLI-Appends-Here --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### With CRUD Form Partial Template
-```cfm
-<!--- Product Form Contents --->
-<cfoutput>
-|FormFields|
-<!--- CLI-Appends-Here --->
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-## Partial Views
-
-Partials Views start with underscore (_form.cfm, _item.cfm):
-
-### Naming Convention
-Partials start with underscore:
-- `_form.cfm` - Form partial
-- `_item.cfm` - List item partial
-- `_sidebar.cfm` - Sidebar partial
-
-```cfm
-<!--- In layout or view --->
-#includePartial("/shared/header")#
-#includePartial("/products/form", product=product)#
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. Keep views simple and focused on presentation
-2. Use partials for reusable components
-3. Move complex logic to helpers or controllers
-4. Follow naming conventions (partials start with _)
-5. Use semantic HTML markup
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Empty State
-```cfm
-<cfif products.recordCount>
-    <!--- Show products --->
-<cfelse>
-    <div class="empty-state">
-        <h2>No products found</h2>
-        <p>Get started by adding your first product.</p>
-        #linkTo(text="Add Product", action="new", class="btn btn-primary")#
-    </div>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-### Error Display
-```cfm
-<cfif product.hasErrors()>
-    <div class="alert alert-danger">
-        #errorMessagesFor("product")#
-    </div>
-</cfif>
-```

-title: Wheels get environment
----
-# Wheels get environment
-
-## Overview
-
-The `wheels get environment` command displays the current environment setting for your Wheels application. It automatically detects which environment your application is configured to run in (development, staging, production, etc.) and shows where this configuration is coming from.
-
-## Command Syntax
-
-```bash
-wheels get environment
-```
-## Alias
-
-```bash
-wheels get env
-```
-
-## Parameters
-
-This command takes no parameters.
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-### Display Current Environment
-```bash
-wheels get environment
-```
-
-This will output something like:
-```
-==================================================
-         Current Environment: development
-==================================================
-
-Configured in:            Using default
-
-To set an environment:
-  - wheels env set environment_name
-  - wheels env switch environment_name
-  - Set WHEELS_ENV in .env file
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-### Detection Priority
-
-The command checks for environment configuration in the following order of precedence:
-
-1. **`.env` file** - Looks for `WHEELS_ENV` variable first, then `Environment` variable
-2. **System environment variable** - Checks for `WHEELS_ENV` first, then `Environment` system variable
-3. **Default** - Falls back to `development` if no configuration is found
-
-The first valid configuration found is used and reported, along with which specific variable name was found.
-
-### Configuration Sources
-
-#### 1. .env File
-The command first looks for a `WHEELS_ENV` variable in your application's `.env` file:
-```bash
-# .env file - Primary variable
-WHEELS_ENV=production
-DATABASE_HOST=localhost
-```
-
-If `WHEELS_ENV` is not found, it then checks for `Environment`:
-```bash
-# .env file - Alternative variable
-Environment=staging
-DATABASE_HOST=localhost
-```
-
-The regex pattern used ensures it correctly reads the value while ignoring:
-- Comments after the value (anything after `#`)
-- Trailing whitespace
-- Lines that are commented out
-
-#### 2. System Environment Variable
-If not found in `.env`, it checks for system-level environment variables in the same order:
-```bash
-# Linux/Mac - Primary variable
-export WHEELS_ENV=staging
-
-# Windows - Primary variable
-set WHEELS_ENV=staging
-
-# Or using the alternative variable
-export Environment=production
-```
-
-#### 3. Default Value
-If no configuration is found anywhere, it defaults to `development`.
-
-## Variable Priority
-
-The command checks for two different variable names in this specific order:
-
-1. `WHEELS_ENV` in `.env` file
-2. `Environment` in `.env` file
-3. `WHEELS_ENV` system environment variable
-4. `Environment` system environment variable
-5. Default to `development`
-
-## Output Examples
-
-### Configured with WHEELS_ENV in .env
-```
-Current Environment:
-production
-
-Configured in: .env file (WHEELS_ENV)
-```
-
-### Configured with Environment in .env
-```
-Current Environment:
-staging
-
-Configured in: .env file (Environment)
-```
-
-### Configured via System Variable (WHEELS_ENV)
-```
-Current Environment:
-staging
-
-Configured in: System environment variable (WHEELS_ENV)
-```
-
-### Configured via System Variable (Environment)
-```
-Current Environment:
-production
-
-Configured in: System environment variable (Environment)
-```
-
-### Using Default
-```
-Current Environment:
-development
-
-Configured in: Using default
-```
-
-## Common Use Cases
-
-### Verify Environment Before Deployment
-```bash
-# Check environment before starting server
-wheels get environment
-commandbox server start
-```
-
-### Troubleshooting Configuration Issues
-```bash
-# Verify which configuration source and variable is being used
-wheels get environment
-
-# Check each source manually
-cat .env | grep -E "WHEELS_ENV|Environment"
-echo $WHEELS_ENV
-echo $Environment
-```
-
-### CI/CD Pipeline Verification
-```bash
-# In deployment script
-wheels get environment
-if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
-    echo "Environment configured successfully"
-fi
-```
-
-### Supporting Legacy Systems
-```bash
-# If migrating from a system that uses "Environment" variable
-# Both will work without changes:
-# Old: Environment=production
-# New: WHEELS_ENV=production
-wheels get environment
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-The command will show an error if:
-- It's not run from a Wheels application directory
-- There's an error reading configuration files
-- File permissions prevent reading configuration
-
-### Not a Wheels Application
-```
-Error: This command must be run from a Wheels application root directory
-```
-
-### Read Error
-```
-Error reading environment: [specific error message]
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use WHEELS_ENV** - Prefer `WHEELS_ENV` over `Environment` for clarity and consistency
-
-2. **Consistent Configuration** - Use one primary method for setting environment across your team
-
-3. **Environment-Specific Files** - Consider using `.env.production`, `.env.development` files with the merge command
-
-4. **Don't Commit Production Settings** - Keep production `.env` files out of version control
-
-5. **Document Your Setup** - Document which configuration method and variable name your team uses
-
-6. **Verify Before Deployment** - Always run this command to verify environment before deploying
-
-## Environment Precedence
-
-Understanding precedence is important when multiple configurations exist:
-
-```
-.env file - WHEELS_ENV (highest priority)
-    ↓
-.env file - Environment
-    ↓
-System variable - WHEELS_ENV
-    ↓
-System variable - Environment
-    ↓
-Default: development (lowest priority)
-```
-
-If both `WHEELS_ENV` and `Environment` are set in `.env`, only `WHEELS_ENV` will be used.
-
-## Migration Guide
-
-If you're migrating from a system that uses different environment variable names:
-
-### From "Environment" to "WHEELS_ENV"
-```bash
-# Old configuration
-Environment=production
-
-# New configuration (both work)
-WHEELS_ENV=production
-
-# The command will detect either one
-wheels get environment
-```
-
-### Gradual Migration
-You can migrate gradually since the command checks both:
-1. Leave existing `Environment` variables in place
-2. Start using `WHEELS_ENV` for new deployments
-3. The command will prefer `WHEELS_ENV` when both exist
-
-## Integration with Other Commands
-
-This command works well with other Wheels CLI commands:
-
-```bash
-# Check environment, then run migrations
-wheels get environment
-wheels db migrate
-
-# Verify environment before running tests
-wheels get environment
-wheels test
-
-# Check environment, then start server
-wheels get environment
-commandbox server start
-```
-
-## Tips
-
-- The command must be run from your Wheels application root directory
-- Environment values are case-sensitive (`development` ≠ `Development`)
-- Comments in `.env` files are properly ignored using `#`
-- Whitespace around values is automatically trimmed
-- The command clearly shows which variable name was found
-- `WHEELS_ENV` takes precedence over `Environment` when both exist
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Environment Not Changing
-If changing environment variables doesn't seem to work:
-1. Run `wheels get environment` to see which source and variable is being used
-2. Remember `.env` file takes precedence over system variables
-3. Remember `WHEELS_ENV` takes precedence over `Environment`
-4. Restart your CommandBox server after changes
-5. Check for typos in variable names
-
-### Variable Priority Issues
-If the wrong environment is being detected:
-- Check if both `WHEELS_ENV` and `Environment` are set
-- Remember `WHEELS_ENV` has higher priority
-- Use the output to see exactly which variable is being read
-
-### Permission Errors
-If you get permission errors:
-- Ensure you have read access to `.env` files
-- Check that you're in the correct directory
-- Verify file ownership and permissions
-
-### Unexpected Default
-If you're getting the default `development` when you expect a different value:
-- Check for typos in configuration files (it's `WHEELS_ENV` not `WHEEL_ENV`)
-- Ensure `.env` file is in the application root
-- Verify system environment variables are properly exported
-- Check that values don't have quotes unless intended

-# Wheels get settings
-
-## Overview
-
-The `wheels get settings` command displays the current Wheels application settings for your environment. It shows all configuration settings that are active, including defaults and any custom overrides from your configuration files. You can view all settings or filter to see specific ones.
-
-## Command Syntax
-
-```bash
-wheels get settings [settingName]
-```
-
-## Parameters
-
-### Optional Parameters
-- **`settingName`** - Optional setting name or pattern to filter results. Can be a partial match.
-
-## Basic Usage Examples
-
-### Display All Settings
-```bash
-wheels get settings
-```
-Shows all active settings for the current environment
-
-### Filter Specific Setting
-```bash
-wheels get settings cacheQueries
-```
-Shows only the `cacheQueries` setting
-
-### Filter by Pattern
-```bash
-wheels get settings cache
-```
-Shows all settings containing "cache" in their name (e.g., `cacheQueries`, `cachePages`, `cacheImages`)
-
-## How It Works
-
-### Settings Resolution Order
-
-The command resolves settings in the same order as Wheels:
-
-1. **Default Wheels Settings** - Built-in framework defaults
-2. **Application Settings** - From `/config/settings.cfm`
-3. **Environment Settings** - From `/config/[environment]/settings.cfm`
-
-Each level overrides the previous one, with environment-specific settings having the highest priority.
-
-### Environment Detection
-
-The command automatically detects the current environment using the same logic as `wheels get environment`:
-- Checks `.env` file for `WHEELS_ENV`
-- Checks system environment variable
-- Checks `server.json`
-- Defaults to `development`
-
-### Settings Parsing
-
-The command parses `set()` function calls in your settings files:
-```coldfusion
-// config/settings.cfm
-set(dataSourceName="myapp_db");
-set(cacheQueries=true);
-set(errorEmailAddress="admin@example.com");
-```
-
-## Output Examples
-
-### All Settings Display
-```

-
-# Check production settings
-WHEELS_ENV=production wheels get settings cache
-```
-
-### Verify Database Configuration

-
-# Check specific problematic setting
-wheels get settings showDebugInformation
-```
-
-### Pre-deployment Verification
-```bash
-# Verify production settings
-WHEELS_ENV=production wheels get settings
-```
-
-## Settings File Examples
-
-### Basic Application Settings
-```coldfusion
-// config/settings.cfm
-set(dataSourceName="myapp");
-set(URLRewriting="partial");
-set(errorEmailAddress="admin@myapp.com");
-```
-
-### Environment-Specific Settings
-```coldfusion
-// config/production/settings.cfm
-set(cacheQueries=true);
-set(cachePages=true);
-set(cachePartials=true);
-set(showDebugInformation=false);
-set(showErrorInformation=false);
-set(sendEmailOnError=true);
-```
-
-```coldfusion
-// config/development/settings.cfm
-set(cacheQueries=false);
-set(showDebugInformation=true);
-set(showErrorInformation=true);
-set(sendEmailOnError=false);
-```
-
-## Data Type Support
-
-The command correctly interprets different data types:
-
-### Boolean Values
-```coldfusion
-set(cacheQueries=true);
-set(showDebugInformation=false);
-```
-
-### Numeric Values
-```coldfusion
-set(cacheCullInterval=5);
-set(cacheCullPercentage=10);
-```
-
-### String Values
-```coldfusion
-set(dataSourceName="myapp_db");
-set(errorEmailAddress="admin@example.com");
-```
-
-### Complex Values
-Arrays and structs are displayed with summary information:
-```
-complexSetting:                 [array with 5 items]
-structSetting:                  {3 items}
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-The command will show an error if:
-- Not run from a Wheels application directory
-- Settings files cannot be read
-- Settings files contain syntax errors
-
-### Not a Wheels Application
-```
-Error: This command must be run from a Wheels application directory
-```
-
-### Read Error
-```
-Error reading settings: [specific error message]
-Details: [additional error details if available]
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Environment-Specific Configs** - Keep environment-specific settings in separate files (`/config/[environment]/settings.cfm`)
-
-2. **Document Custom Settings** - Comment your custom settings in the configuration files
-
-3. **Use Consistent Naming** - Follow Wheels naming conventions for custom settings
-
-4. **Verify Before Deployment** - Always check settings for the target environment before deploying
-
-5. **Sensitive Data** - Keep sensitive settings (API keys, passwords) in environment variables or `.env` files
-
-## Integration with Other Commands
-
-Works well with other Wheels CLI commands:
-
-```bash
-# Check environment, then settings
-wheels get environment
-wheels get settings
-
-# Verify cache settings before clearing cache
-wheels get settings cache
-wheels clear cache
-
-# Check database settings before running migrations
-wheels get settings dataSourceName
-wheels db migrate
-```
-
-## Tips
-
-- Setting names are case-insensitive when filtering
-- The filter matches any part of the setting name
-- Settings are displayed in alphabetical order
-- Boolean values display as `true` or `false`
-- Complex values (arrays, structs) show a summary
-- The command shows which environment's settings are being displayed
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Settings Not Showing Expected Values
-1. Check which environment is active: `wheels get environment`
-2. Verify the settings file exists in the correct location
-3. Check for syntax errors in your settings files
-4. Ensure settings use the correct `set()` function syntax
-
-### Missing Settings
-If expected settings are missing:
-- Verify they're defined using `set()` function
-- Check file paths: `/config/settings.cfm` and `/config/[environment]/settings.cfm`
-- Ensure no syntax errors prevent parsing
-
-### Filter Not Working
-- Remember the filter is case-insensitive
-- The filter matches any part of the setting name
-- Use more specific terms for precise filtering
-
-## Limitations
-
-- The command parses settings files statically and may not capture all dynamic settings
-- Complex CFML expressions in settings may not be fully evaluated
-- Settings defined outside of `set()` function calls may not be detected
-- Runtime settings modifications are not reflected

-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-wheels jobs purge [options]
-```
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Default | Description |
-|--------|---------|-------------|
-| `--completed` | `true` | Purge completed jobs |

-title: wheels jobs work
-description: Start a persistent job worker daemon that polls for and processes background jobs.
----
-
-# wheels jobs work
-
-Start a job worker that continuously polls the job queue and processes pending jobs. The worker claims jobs using optimistic locking, making it safe to run multiple workers concurrently.
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-wheels jobs work [options]
-```
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Default | Description |
-|--------|---------|-------------|
-| `--queue` | _(all)_ | Comma-delimited queue names to process |
-| `--interval` | `5` | Seconds between poll cycles |
-| `--max-jobs` | `0` | Stop after processing this many jobs (0 = unlimited) |
-| `--timeout` | `300` | Job execution timeout in seconds |
-| `--quiet` | `false` | Suppress per-job output, only show errors |
-
-## Examples
-
-```bash
-# Process all queues with defaults
-wheels jobs work
-
-# Process only mailer and notification queues
-wheels jobs work --queue=mailers,notifications
-
-# Fast polling with a job limit
-wheels jobs work --interval=2 --max-jobs=500
-
-# Quiet mode for production
-wheels jobs work --queue=default --quiet
-```
-
-## Concurrency
-
-Run multiple worker processes for parallelism. Each worker independently claims jobs via optimistic locking (`UPDATE WHERE status='pending' AND id=:id`), so no job is processed twice.
-
-```bash
-# Terminal 1
-wheels jobs work --queue=mailers
-
-# Terminal 2
-wheels jobs work --queue=default,reports
-```
-
-## Behavior
-
-1. Each poll cycle, the worker calls the Wheels bridge to claim the next pending job
-2. If a job is found, it's marked as `processing` and executed
-3. On success, the job is marked `completed`; on failure, it's retried with exponential backoff or marked `failed`
-4. If no jobs are available, the worker sleeps for `--interval` seconds
-5. When a job completes successfully, the worker immediately checks for more work before sleeping

-title: MCP Commands
-description: >-
-  MCP (Model Context Protocol) commands for integrating Wheels with AI coding
-  assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Continue.
----
-
-# MCP Commands
-
-The MCP (Model Context Protocol) commands enable seamless integration between your Wheels application and AI coding assistants. Wheels includes a **native CFML MCP server** that runs directly within your application - no Node.js required!
-
-## Overview

-
-## MCP Server Architecture
-
-### Native CFML Implementation
-Wheels includes a built-in MCP server that:
-- **Runs in CFML**: No external dependencies or Node.js required
-- **Integrated**: Uses your application's existing security and configuration
-- **Performant**: Direct execution within your Wheels application
-- **Secure**: Respects your application's authentication and authorization
-
-### Server Endpoint
-```
-http://localhost:[port]/wheels/mcp
-```
-
-### Available Resources
-- `wheels://api/documentation` - Complete Wheels API documentation
-- `wheels://guides/all` - Framework guides and tutorials
-- `wheels://project/context` - Current project structure and configuration
-- `wheels://patterns/common` - Common Wheels patterns and best practices
-
-### Available Tools
-- `generate` - Generate models, controllers, views, migrations, scaffolds, mailers, jobs, tests, helpers
-- `analyze` - Analyze project structure (models, controllers, routes, migrations, tests)
-- `validate` - Validate models and database schema
-- `migrate` - Database migration operations (latest, up, down, reset, info)
-- `test` - Run Wheels tests with optional target filtering
-- `server` - Server management (start, stop, restart, status)
-- `reload` - Reload the Wheels application
-- `develop` - End-to-end workflow: analyze, plan, implement, test, validate
-
-## Common Workflows
-
-### Development Setup
-```bash
-# Initial project setup with MCP
-wheels g app myproject
-cd myproject
-wheels mcp setup
-```
-
-### Team Development
-```bash
-# Setup MCP for all team members
-wheels mcp setup --all
-
-# Check team integration status
-wheels mcp status --json
-```
-
-### CI/CD Integration
-```bash
-# Test MCP in automated pipelines
-wheels mcp test || exit 1
-```
-
-## Configuration Examples
-
-### LuCLI stdio (recommended)
-
-Place `.mcp.json` in your project root:
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "lucli",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-LuCLI auto-discovers all Wheels module commands as MCP tools — no running server needed for tool discovery.
-
-### HTTP transport
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "url": "http://localhost:8080/wheels/mcp",
-      "type": "http"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Requires your Wheels development server to be running. Auto-generated by `wheels mcp setup`.
-
-### Environment-Specific Setup
-```bash
-# Development environment
-wheels mcp setup --port=8080
-
-# Custom port
-wheels mcp setup --port=8081 --force
-```
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-### Development Only
-MCP integration is designed for development environments:
-- **Local Access**: Default configuration allows localhost only
-- **Authentication**: Uses your Wheels application's security model
-- **Firewall**: Ensure development server is not exposed externally
-
-### Best Practices
-1. **Use in Development**: Don't enable MCP in production environments
-2. **Secure Networks**: Only use on trusted development networks
-3. **Regular Updates**: Keep MCP configuration updated
-4. **Team Awareness**: Ensure team understands MCP functionality
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**MCP Server Not Found**
-- Ensure Wheels development server is running
-- Check port configuration with `wheels server status`
-- Verify MCP endpoint: `curl http://localhost:port/wheels/mcp`
-
-**IDE Connection Failed**
-- Check IDE configuration files
-- Restart AI IDE after configuration changes
-- Test connection with `wheels mcp test --ide=specific`
-
-**Resource Access Denied**
-- Verify Wheels application is properly initialized
-- Check file permissions
-- Ensure database is accessible
-
-### Getting Help
-
-1. **Check Status**: `wheels mcp status --verbose`
-2. **Test Connection**: `wheels mcp test --all --verbose`
-3. **Review Logs**: Check Wheels application logs
-4. **Reconfigure**: `wheels mcp setup --force`
-
-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Custom MCP Configuration
-```cfm
-// /config/settings.cfm - Customize MCP behavior
-set(mcpEnabled=true);
-set(mcpPort=8080);
-set(mcpAllowedOrigins="localhost,127.0.0.1");
-set(mcpSessionTimeout=3600);
-set(mcpDebugMode=false);
-```
-
-### Multiple Environment Setup
-```bash
-# Development
-wheels mcp setup --port=8080 --ide=claude
-
-# Testing
-wheels mcp setup --port=8081 --ide=cursor
-
-# Integration
-wheels mcp setup --port=8082 --ide=continue
-```
-
-### Team Configuration Management
-```bash
-# Export team configuration
-wheels mcp status --json > mcp-config.json
-
-# Apply team configuration
-wheels mcp setup --config=mcp-config.json
-```

-title: MCP Configuration Guide
-description: >-
-  Configure Wheels MCP tools for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, and other
-  AI-enabled editors using the canonical LuCLI stdio transport.
----
-
-# MCP Configuration Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-Wheels exposes its development tools through the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/), giving AI coding assistants direct access to code generation, database migrations, testing, project analysis, and framework documentation.
-
-### Transport: stdio (canonical)
-
-The Wheels CLI (`brew install wheels`) is a renamed LuCLI that includes a built-in MCP server. Your AI IDE launches `wheels mcp wheels` as a stdio subprocess — no port, no running dev server, no HTTP transport to manage. Tools are auto-discovered from `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` and prefixed with the module name (`wheels_generate`, `wheels_migrate`, etc.).
-
-| Aspect | Value |
-|-----------|-------|
-| Transport | stdio (JSON-RPC) |
-| Command | `wheels mcp wheels` |
-| Requires running server | No |
-| Requires installed `wheels` CLI | Yes (`brew install wheels` or equivalent) |
-
-> **Deprecated (Wheels 4.0+):** The previous HTTP MCP endpoint at `http://localhost:<port>/wheels/mcp` emits a deprecation warning and will be removed. Existing projects should run `wheels mcp setup --force` to migrate to stdio configs.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# Install the Wheels CLI (renamed LuCLI)
-brew install wheels
-
-# From your Wheels project root, generate IDE configs
-wheels mcp setup
-
-# This creates .mcp.json and .opencode.json with the stdio config.
-# Restart your AI IDE to pick them up.
-```
-
-If you prefer to configure manually, add the following to `.mcp.json` (Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf):
-
-```json
-{"mcpServers":{"wheels":{"command":"wheels","args":["mcp","wheels"]}}}
-```
-
-Or for OpenCode, to `.opencode.json`:
-
-```json
-{"$schema":"https://opencode.ai/config.json","mcp":{"wheels":{"type":"local","command":["wheels","mcp","wheels"],"enabled":true}}}
-```
-
-## Legacy HTTP Transport (deprecated)
-
-The pre-4.0 HTTP endpoint is still mounted at `/wheels/mcp` for compatibility but emits a deprecation warning on every session. To continue using it, start your dev server and point your IDE at:
-```
-http://localhost:[port]/wheels/mcp
-```
-
-## Claude Code
-
-### stdio transport (LuCLI)
-
-Create or edit `.mcp.json` in your project root:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "lucli",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### HTTP transport
-
-Create or edit `.mcp.json` in your project root:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "url": "http://localhost:3000/wheels/mcp",
-      "type": "http"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Replace `3000` with your development server port.
-
-### Verify in Claude Code
-
-After adding the configuration, restart Claude Code and look for the Wheels MCP tools in the tool list. You can verify by asking Claude to list available MCP tools, or run:
-
-```bash
-wheels mcp test
-```
-
-## Cursor
-
-### stdio transport (LuCLI)
-
-Create or edit `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project root:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "lucli",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### HTTP transport
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "url": "http://localhost:3000/wheels/mcp",
-      "type": "http"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Verify in Cursor
-
-Open Cursor Settings > MCP to confirm the Wheels server appears and shows a green status indicator. Cursor auto-detects `.cursor/mcp.json` on startup.
-
-## VS Code
-
-VS Code supports MCP through extensions. The most common options:
-
-### GitHub Copilot (built-in MCP support)
-
-VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot supports MCP servers natively. Add to your `.vscode/settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcp": {
-    "servers": {
-      "wheels": {
-        "command": "lucli",
-        "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Or for HTTP transport:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcp": {
-    "servers": {
-      "wheels": {
-        "url": "http://localhost:3000/wheels/mcp",
-        "type": "http"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Continue extension
-
-If using the [Continue](https://continue.dev/) extension, create `.continue/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "lucli",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Cline extension
-
-For [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline), add to Cline's MCP settings:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "lucli",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Available MCP Tools
-
-LuCLI auto-discovers all public commands in the Wheels module. Every public function in the module becomes an MCP tool prefixed with `wheels_`. The following tools are available:
-
-### Code Generation
-
-| Tool | Description | Key Parameters |
-|------|-------------|---------------|
-| `generate` | Generate Wheels components | `type` (model, controller, view, migration, scaffold, mailer, job, test, helper), `name`, `attributes` |
-| `develop` | End-to-end workflow: analyze, plan, implement, test, validate | `task` (natural language description) |
-
-**Example**: Ask your AI assistant to "generate a User model with name, email, and role fields" — it calls the `generate` tool with `type=model`, `name=User`, `attributes=name:string,email:string,role:string`.
-
-### Database
-
-| Tool | Description | Key Parameters |
-|------|-------------|---------------|
-| `migrate` | Run database migrations | `action` (latest, up, down, reset, info) |
-| `validate` | Validate models and database schema | `model` (model name or "all") |
-
-### Testing & Analysis
-
-| Tool | Description | Key Parameters |
-|------|-------------|---------------|
-| `test` | Run Wheels tests | `target` (optional filter), `verbose` |
-| `analyze` | Analyze project structure | `target` (models, controllers, routes, migrations, tests, all) |
-
-### Server Management
-
-| Tool | Description | Key Parameters |
-|------|-------------|---------------|
-| `server` | Manage development server | `action` (start, stop, restart, status) |
-| `reload` | Reload the Wheels application | `password` (if required) |
-
-## Available MCP Resources

-
-## How Auto-Discovery Works
-
-LuCLI's MCP support automatically discovers tools from installed modules. When you run `lucli mcp wheels`, LuCLI:
-
-1. **Scans the Wheels module** — reads all `public` functions from `Module.cfc`
-2. **Generates tool definitions** — each function's name, hint, and parameters become the MCP tool schema
-3. **Prefixes with module name** — `generate` becomes `wheels_generate`, `migrate` becomes `wheels_migrate`
-4. **Serves via stdio** — the AI editor launches `lucli mcp wheels` as a subprocess and communicates over stdin/stdout using JSON-RPC 2.0
-
-This means any new commands added to the Wheels LuCLI module are automatically available as MCP tools without additional configuration.
-
-## Configuration Examples
-
-### Full-Stack Development Setup
-
-A typical `.mcp.json` combining Wheels with a browser testing tool:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "lucli",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    },
-    "browsermcp": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["@browsermcp/mcp@latest"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Team Configuration
-
-Commit `.mcp.json` to your repository so all team members get the same MCP setup:
-
-```bash
-# .mcp.json is safe to commit — it contains no secrets
-git add .mcp.json
-git commit -m "Add MCP configuration for AI IDE integration"
-```
-
-### Multiple Projects
-
-Each Wheels project has its own `.mcp.json`. When you open a project in your AI editor, it picks up that project's MCP configuration automatically.
-
-For the HTTP transport, each project needs its own port:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "url": "http://localhost:3000/wheels/mcp",
-      "type": "http"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-The stdio transport handles this automatically — LuCLI detects the project context from the working directory.
-
-## Security
-
-- **Development only** — do not expose MCP endpoints in production
-- **Localhost** — the HTTP server binds to localhost by default
-- **No secrets in config** — `.mcp.json` contains only the transport configuration
-- **Reload password** — the `reload` tool respects your application's reload password setting
-
-### Settings
-
-Customize MCP behavior in `config/settings.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-set(mcpEnabled=true);
-set(mcpAllowedOrigins="localhost,127.0.0.1");
-set(mcpSessionTimeout=3600);
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### LuCLI not found
-
-```
-Error: command not found: lucli
-```
-
-Install LuCLI via Homebrew (`brew install lucli`) or from [lucli.dev](https://lucli.dev). Ensure it's in your PATH.
-
-### Tools not appearing in IDE
-
-1. Restart your AI editor after adding `.mcp.json`
-2. Check the config file is in the correct location (project root for Claude Code, `.cursor/` for Cursor, `.vscode/settings.json` for VS Code)
-3. Verify LuCLI can find the Wheels module: `lucli modules list`
-
-### HTTP connection refused
-
-```
-Error: Connection refused on localhost:3000
-```
-
-Your Wheels development server must be running for HTTP transport. Start it with `wheels server start` or `server start` (CommandBox).
-
-### Tool execution fails
-
-Some tools (migrate, test, reload) proxy HTTP calls to the running Wheels server. Ensure your development server is running even when using stdio transport for these server-dependent tools.
-
-Run diagnostics:
-```bash
-wheels mcp test --verbose
-```
-
-### Wrong port
-
-If your server runs on a non-default port, update `.mcp.json`:
-```bash
-wheels mcp setup --port=8080 --force
-```
-
-Or edit `.mcp.json` manually and replace the port number.

-```
-```
-🤖 MCP Integration Status
-==================================================
-
-❌ Wheels Application: Detected (MCP disabled)
-❌ MCP Server: Not configured
-
-IDE Configurations:
-├── Claude Code: ❌ Not configured
-├── Cursor: ❌ Not configured
-├── Continue: ❌ Not configured
-└── Windsurf: ❌ Not configured
-
-MCP integration is not active.
-```
-
-### Test IDE Behavior
-After removal:
-1. **Restart AI IDEs**: Ensure they load new configuration
-2. **Check Connection**: Verify IDEs no longer try to connect to Wheels
-3. **Review Logs**: Check for any connection error messages
-4. **Test Other Features**: Ensure other IDE features still work
-
-## Complete Cleanup Checklist
-
-When using `--clean`, the command removes:
-
-- [ ] MCP server configurations from all IDEs
-- [ ] Wheels-specific MCP cache files
-- [ ] Temporary MCP session files
-- [ ] MCP connection logs
-- [ ] Old backup files (optional)
-
-## Re-enabling MCP
-
-To re-enable MCP integration after removal:
-
-```bash
-# Fresh setup
-wheels mcp setup
-
-# Or restore from backup
-cp ~/.claude/config.json.bak.2025-09-16 ~/.claude/config.json
-```
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-### Why Remove MCP
-- **Security**: Disable AI IDE access to development server
-- **Privacy**: Remove potential data access points
-- **Performance**: Reduce server load from MCP requests
-- **Cleanup**: Remove unused configurations
-
-### Safe Removal
-- **Backup First**: Always create backups before removal
-- **Test Thoroughly**: Verify IDEs work correctly after removal
-- **Document Changes**: Keep record of what was removed
-- **Team Communication**: Inform team members of MCP removal

-title: MCP Setup
-description: >-
-  Set up MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for AI IDE support in your
-  Wheels application using the LuCLI stdio MCP server.
----
-
-# MCP Setup
-
-## Overview
-
-The `wheels mcp setup` command configures your Wheels project to work with AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, OpenCode, and Windsurf. Wheels uses the **LuCLI stdio MCP server** (`wheels mcp wheels`) as its canonical agent surface — your IDE launches the MCP server as a subprocess on demand; no port or running dev server required.
-
-> **Note (Wheels 4.0+):** The previous HTTP-based MCP endpoint at `/wheels/mcp` is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Run `wheels mcp setup --force` to migrate existing projects to the stdio configuration.
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-wheels mcp setup [options]
-```
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Type | Description |
-|--------|------|-------------|
-| `--force` | boolean | Overwrite existing configuration files |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic Setup
-
-```bash
-# Generate .mcp.json and .opencode.json pointing at LuCLI stdio MCP
-wheels mcp setup
-```
-
-### Migrate an Existing Project
-
-```bash
-# Overwrite pre-4.0 HTTP-based configs with stdio configs
-wheels mcp setup --force
-```
-
-## What Gets Created
-
-### `.mcp.json` (Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf)
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "wheels",
-      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
-    },
-    "browsermcp": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["@browsermcp/mcp@latest"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```

-### `.opencode.json` (OpenCode)
-
-```json
-{
-  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
-  "mcp": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "type": "local",
-      "command": ["wheels", "mcp", "wheels"],
-      "enabled": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- `wheels` CLI on PATH (`brew install wheels` or equivalent)
-- Your AI IDE supports MCP (Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, OpenCode, Windsurf, etc.)
-
-## What the Agent Sees
-
-After setup, your AI IDE discovers 16 Wheels tools:
-
-`wheels_generate`, `wheels_migrate`, `wheels_seed`, `wheels_test`, `wheels_reload`, `wheels_analyze`, `wheels_validate`, `wheels_routes`, `wheels_info`, `wheels_destroy`, `wheels_doctor`, `wheels_stats`, `wheels_notes`, `wheels_db`, `wheels_upgrade`, `wheels_create`.
-
-CLI-only commands (`start`, `stop`, `new`, `console`, `browser`) are hidden from the MCP surface — they remain reachable as CLI subcommands but don't make sense for agent calls.
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Restart your AI IDE so it re-reads the new `.mcp.json` / `.opencode.json`
-2. Verify tool discovery in the IDE's MCP panel
-3. Test a simple call: ask the agent to run `wheels_info` or `wheels_routes`

-description: Initialize Playwright for end-to-end testing in your Wheels application.
----
-
-# wheels playwright:init
-
-Initialize Playwright for end-to-end testing in your Wheels application. This command launches the official Playwright setup wizard to configure your project.
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-wheels playwright:init
-```
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Node.js and npm must be installed
-- You must be in a Wheels application root directory
-
-## Interactive Prompts
-
-The setup wizard will ask you:
-
-1. **Language preference** - TypeScript or JavaScript
-2. **Test directory** - Where to put your end-to-end tests
-3. **GitHub Actions** - Whether to add a CI workflow
-4. **Browser installation** - Answer **NO** to this
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic initialization
-
-```bash
-wheels playwright:init
-```
-
-### What to expect
-
-```
-This will initialize Playwright with interactive prompts.
-
-The wizard will ask you about:
-  - TypeScript or JavaScript
-  - Test directory location
-  - GitHub Actions setup
-  - Browser installation (answer NO - use 'wheels playwright install' instead)
-```
-
-## Browser Installation
-
-**Important:** When the wizard asks about browser installation, answer **NO**. Use the separate `wheels playwright install` command instead, which handles browser compatibility better.
-
-```bash
-# After initialization completes
-wheels playwright install
-```
-
-## Browser Compatibility
-
-If you encounter browser installation errors (especially webkit on older macOS), the init command will automatically suggest running:
-
-```bash
-wheels playwright install
-```
-
-This command:
-- Installs Chromium and Firefox by default
-- Skips WebKit automatically on macOS 13 or earlier (WebKit requires macOS 14+)
-- Provides better error handling than the wizard
-
-### Browser Support Matrix
-
-| Browser | macOS 13 | macOS 14+ | Linux | Windows |
-|---------|----------|-----------|-------|---------|
-| Chromium | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
-| Firefox | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
-| WebKit | No | Yes | No | No |
-
-### Common Error
-
-```
-Error: ERROR: Playwright does not support webkit on mac13
-```
-
-This happens because webkit requires macOS 14+. Answer "n" to browser installation in the wizard, then use `wheels playwright install` which handles compatibility automatically.
-
-## Installing Specific Browsers
-
-If you need to install specific browsers:
-
-```bash
-# Install Chromium only
-wheels playwright install --chromium --firefox=false --webkit=false
-
-# Install Firefox only
-wheels playwright install --chromium=false --firefox
-
-# Force WebKit (only works on macOS 14+)
-wheels playwright install --webkit
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-After initialization:
-
-1. **Install browsers:**
-   ```bash
-   wheels playwright install
-   ```
-
-2. **Run tests:**
-   ```bash
-   npx playwright test
-   ```
-
-3. **Open UI mode:**
-   ```bash
-   npx playwright test --ui
-   ```
-
-4. **Debug tests:**
-   ```bash
-   npx playwright test --debug
-   ```
-
-## Generated Files
-
-The wizard creates:
-
-- `playwright.config.{ts,js}` - Playwright configuration
-- `tests/` or `e2e/` - Test directory (your choice during setup)
-- `package.json` - Updated with Playwright dependencies
-- `.github/workflows/playwright.yml` - GitHub Actions workflow (if enabled)
-
-## Browser Cache Location
-
-Browsers are cached at:
-
-- **macOS:** `~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/`
-- **Linux:** `~/.cache/ms-playwright/`
-- **Windows:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\ms-playwright\Cache/`
-
-## Verify Installation
-
-Check installed browsers:
-
-```bash
-npx playwright show-browsers
-```
-
-Or run a quick test:
-
-```bash
-npx playwright test --list
-```
-
-## CI/CD Usage
-
-```bash
-# Install all available browsers
-wheels playwright install
-
-# Then run tests
-npx playwright test
-```
-
-### GitHub Actions Example
-
-```yaml
-- name: Install Playwright
-  run: |
-    npm ci
-    wheels playwright install
-
-- name: Run E2E tests
-  run: npx playwright test
-```

-
-# wheels playwright:install
-
-Install Playwright browsers. Use this command after [`wheels playwright:init`](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/playwright/playwright-init/) if browser installation failed, or to install specific browsers.
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-wheels playwright:install [options]
-```
-
-## Options
-
-| Option | Type | Default | Description |
-|--------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `--chromium` | boolean | `true` | Install Chromium browser |
-| `--firefox` | boolean | `true` | Install Firefox browser |
-| `--webkit` | boolean | `false` | Install WebKit browser (macOS 14+ only) |
-
-## Examples
-
-### Install default browsers (Chromium + Firefox)
-
-```bash
-wheels playwright:install
-```
-
-### Install specific browsers
-
-```bash
-# Chromium only
-wheels playwright:install --chromium=false --firefox=false
-
-# Firefox only
-wheels playwright:install --chromium=false
-
-# Include WebKit (macOS 14+ only)
-wheels playwright:install --webkit
-```
-
-## When to Use This Command
-
-This command is useful when:
-
-1. **Browser installation failed during init** - The init wizard may fail on webkit
-2. **You need specific browsers only** - Save space by installing only what you need
-3. **Reinstalling browsers** - After upgrading Playwright version
-
-## Browser Compatibility
-
-| Browser | macOS 13 | macOS 14+ | Linux | Windows |
-|---------|----------|-----------|-------|---------|
-| Chromium | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
-| Firefox | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
-| WebKit | No | Yes | No | No |
-
-### WebKit on macOS 13
-
-WebKit requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. If you try:
-
-```bash
-wheels playwright:install --webkit
-```
-
-On macOS 13 or earlier, you'll see:
-
-```
-[WARNING] Webkit requires macOS 14+. Skipping webkit installation.
-```
-
-WebKit is skipped automatically, and Chromium and Firefox install normally.
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### WebKit Error
-
-If you encounter:
-
-```
-Error: ERROR: Playwright does not support webkit on mac13
-```
-
-**Solution:** Don't use `--webkit` on macOS 13:
-
-```bash
-wheels playwright:install --webkit=false
-```
-
-### Installation Fails
-
-If browser installation fails:
-
-```bash
-# Try installing specific browsers
-wheels playwright:install --chromium --firefox
-
-# Or install manually
-npx playwright install chromium
-```
-
-## Browser Cache Location
-
-Browsers are cached at:
-
-- **macOS:** `~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/`
-- **Linux:** `~/.cache/ms-playwright/`
-- **Windows:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\ms-playwright\Cache/`
-
-## Verify Installation

-- Installation status
-- Plugin name and version
-- Slug
-- Type (mvc, plugin, etc.)
-- Author information
-- Description
-- Homepage URL
-- Repository URL
-- Documentation URL
-- Issues/Bugs URL
-- Keywords
-
-When the plugin is **not installed**, the command shows:
-- Installation status
-- ForgeBox package information
-- Available versions
-- Installation instructions
-
-## Examples
-
-### Check installed plugin
-```bash
-wheels plugins info wheels-core
-```
-
-**Output:**
-```
-===========================================================
-  Plugin Information: wheels-core
-===========================================================

-Commands
---------------------------------------------------
-  - Update:  wheels plugin update wheels-core
-  - Search:  wheels plugin search
-```
-
-### Check plugin not installed
-```bash
-wheels plugins info wheels-vue-cli
-```
-
-**Output:**
-```
-==================================================
-        Plugin Information: wheels-vue-cli
-==================================================
-
-
-
-Status
---------------------------------------------------
-[WARNING]: Not installed
-
-[FAILED]: Plugin Not Found
-
-The plugin 'wheels-vue-cli' was not found in:
-  - Local installation (box.json dependencies)
-  - ForgeBox repository
-
-[INFO]: Possible reasons
-  - Plugin name may be misspelled
-  - Plugin may not exist on ForgeBox
-  - Network connection issues
-
-[INFO]: Suggestions
-  - Search for available plugins: wheels plugin list --available
-  - Verify the correct plugin name
-```
-
-### Plugin not found anywhere
-```bash
-wheels plugins info nonexistent-plugin
-```
-
-**Output:**
-```
-==================================================
-      Plugin Information: nonexistent-plugin
-==================================================
-
-
-
-Status
---------------------------------------------------
-[WARNING]: Not installed
-
-[FAILED]: Plugin Not Found
-
-The plugin 'nonexistent-plugin' was not found in:
-  - Local installation (box.json dependencies)
-  - ForgeBox repository
-
-[INFO]: Possible reasons
-  - Plugin name may be misspelled
-  - Plugin may not exist on ForgeBox
-  - Network connection issues
-
-[INFO]: Suggestions
-  - Search for available plugins: wheels plugin list --available
-  - Verify the correct plugin name
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-1. **Check Local Installation**: First checks if the plugin is installed in:
-   - `box.json` dependencies
-   - `box.json` devDependencies
-   - Reads plugin's local `box.json` for detailed information
-
-2. **Display Local Information**: If installed, shows all metadata from the plugin's `box.json`
-
-3. **ForgeBox Fallback**: Only queries ForgeBox if the plugin is not installed locally
-
-4. **Installation Commands**: Shows appropriate commands based on installation status
-
-## Notes
-
-- The command prioritizes local plugin data over ForgeBox data for accuracy
-- No network call is made for installed plugins (faster response)
-- Use `wheels plugin search` to browse all available plugins
-- Plugin names can include variations (e.g., "wheels-core", "cfwheels-core")

-    "keywords": "cfwheels,wheels,plugin",
-    "homepage": "",
-    "shortDescription": "Plugin description",
-    "private": false
-}
-```
-
-## Development Workflow
-
-### 1. Initialize Plugin
-
-```bash
-wheels plugin init myHelper --author="Your Name"
-```
-
-### 2. Add Your Functions
-
-Edit `/plugins/myHelper/myHelper.cfc` and add your plugin methods:
-
-```cfml
-public function formatCurrency(required numeric amount) {
-    return dollarFormat(arguments.amount);
-}
-
-public function slugify(required string text) {
-    return lCase(reReplace(arguments.text, "[^a-zA-Z0-9]+", "-", "all"));
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Update Documentation
-
-Edit `index.cfm` and `README.md` with usage examples and function descriptions.
-
-### 4. Test Your Plugin
-
-```bash
-wheels reload
-```
-
-Then in your Wheels application:
-```cfml
-// Your functions are now available everywhere
-formatted = formatCurrency(1234.56);  // Returns "$1,234.56"
-slug = slugify("My Blog Post");       // Returns "my-blog-post"
-```
-
-### 5. Add Tests
-
-Edit `/plugins/myHelper/tests/myHelperTest.cfc`:
-
-```cfml
-it("should format currency correctly", function() {
-    var plugin = createObject("component", "myHelper").init();
-    var result = plugin.formatCurrency(1234.56);
-    expect(result).toInclude("1,234");
-});
-```
-
-Run tests:
-```bash
-box testbox run
-```
-
-### 6. Publish to ForgeBox
-
-```bash
-cd plugins/myHelper
-git init
-git add .
-git commit -m "Initial commit"
-git remote add origin https://github.com/username/wheels-myHelper.git
-git push -u origin main
-
-box login
-box publish
-```
-
-## Plugin Types
-
-Common Wheels plugin categories:
-
-- **Data Helpers** - String manipulation, date formatting, validation
-- **Authentication** - User authentication, session management, encryption
-- **API Tools** - REST helpers, JSON formatting, API clients
-- **Database** - Query helpers, soft delete, auditing
-- **UI Components** - Form helpers, tables, pagination
-- **Email** - Email formatting, templates, sending
-- **Caching** - Cache management, warming, invalidation
-- **Testing** - Test helpers, fixtures, mocking
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Naming Convention**: Always prefix with `wheels-` (automatic)
-2. **Function Naming**: Use clear, descriptive names
-3. **Documentation**: Document all public functions with Wheels format
-4. **Testing**: Include comprehensive test coverage
-5. **Versioning**: Follow semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
-6. **Dependencies**: Minimize external dependencies
-7. **Compatibility**: Test with supported Wheels versions
-
-## How Plugin Loading Works
-
-1. Wheels scans `/plugins` directory on startup
-2. Each plugin's main CFC is instantiated
-3. With `mixin="global"`, functions become available in:
-   - Controllers
-   - Models
-   - Views
-   - Other plugins
-4. Call `wheels reload` to reload plugins after changes
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Plugin Already Exists
-
-```
-[ERROR] Plugin already exists
-
-Plugin 'myHelper' already exists in /plugins folder
-```
-
-**Solution**: Choose a different name or remove the existing plugin first.
-
-### No Wheels Application
-
-The command must be run from within a Wheels application directory.
-
-## Notes
-
-- Plugin is created directly in `/plugins` directory
-- Plugin name automatically prefixed with `wheels-` if not present
-- Folder name uses simple plugin name (without `wheels-` prefix)
-- Use `mixin="global"` to make functions available everywhere
-- Restart or reload Wheels after creating plugin
-- Plugin functions documented with `[section: Plugins]` format
-- Type must be `cfwheels-plugins` for ForgeBox categorization

-## Description
-
-The `plugins install` command installs `cfwheels-plugins` type packages from ForgeBox into your application's `/plugins` folder. The command validates that the package is a valid cfwheels-plugin before installation.
-
-### Features
-
-- Installs only `cfwheels-plugins` type packages
-- Validates package type before installation
-- Automatically places plugins in `/plugins` folder
-- Supports specific version installation
-- Beautiful, color-coded output
-- Helpful error messages
-
-### Package Type Validation
-
-The command ensures that only packages with type `cfwheels-plugins` can be installed. This prevents accidental installation of non-plugin packages.
-
-## Examples

-### Install latest version from ForgeBox
-
-```bash
-wheels plugins install cfwheels-bcrypt
-```

-  - Check if the plugin exists on ForgeBox:
-    wheels plugin list --available
-  - Ensure the plugin type is 'cfwheels-plugins'
-```
-
-## Installation Process
-
-1. **Display Header**: Shows plugin name and target version
-2. **Package Validation**: Verifies the package is type `cfwheels-plugins`
-3. **Download**: Uses CommandBox's PackageService to download from ForgeBox
-4. **Installation**: CommandBox installs the package
-5. **Directory Move**: If installed to wrong location, moves to `/plugins` folder
-6. **Verification**: Confirms installation success
-7. **Display Results**: Shows success message with helpful next steps
-
-## How It Works
-
-The command uses PluginService which:
-1. Calls ForgeBox API to check package type
-2. Uses `packageService.installPackage()` to download and install
-3. Checks common installation paths (`/modules/`, root)
-4. Moves plugin to `/plugins/` folder if needed
-5. Returns success/failure status
-
-## Package Sources
-
-### ForgeBox (Only Supported Source)
-
-The command only supports installing from ForgeBox:
-
-```bash
-# By slug
-wheels plugins install cfwheels-bcrypt
-
-# By name (auto-finds slug)
-wheels plugins install bcrypt
-
-# Specific version
-wheels plugins install cfwheels-bcrypt --version=0.0.4
-```
-
-### Unsupported Sources
-
-The following sources are NOT supported:
--  GitHub repositories
--  Direct URLs
--  Local ZIP files
--  Local directories
-
-To install plugins from these sources, use CommandBox's native `install` command and manually move to `/plugins` folder.
-
-## Error Messages
-
-### Package Type Validation Failed
-```
-[ERROR] Failed to install plugin
-Error: Only cfwheels-plugins can be installed via this command
-```
-**Solution**: Verify the package type on ForgeBox is `cfwheels-plugins`
-
-### Plugin Not Found
-```
-[ERROR] Failed to install plugin
-Error: Plugin not found on ForgeBox
-```
-**Solution**: Check available plugins with `wheels plugin list --available`
-
-### Network Error
-```
-[ERROR] Failed to install plugin
-Error: Could not connect to ForgeBox
-```
-**Solution**: Check internet connection and ForgeBox status
-
-## Notes
-
-- Only installs `cfwheels-plugins` type packages from ForgeBox
-- Plugins are installed to `/plugins` folder
-- The `--dev` parameter is accepted but not currently used
-- Package type validation prevents installation of incorrect packages
-- If a plugin is already installed, it will be overwritten
-- After installation, use `wheels plugin info <name>` to view details
-- Restart your application to activate the new plugin
-- The command automatically handles directory placement

-
-Contacting ForgeBox, please wait...
-
-[Lists all cfwheels-plugins type packages from ForgeBox using 'forgebox show']
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-1. **Local Plugin Detection**: Scans the `/plugins` folder for subdirectories
-2. **Metadata Extraction**: Reads each plugin's `box.json` file for name, version, slug, and description
-3. **Dynamic Formatting**: Calculates column widths based on content for clean alignment
-4. **ForgeBox Integration**: Uses `forgebox show type=cfwheels-plugins` for available plugins
-
-## Notes
-
-- Only lists plugins from the `/plugins` folder (not box.json dependencies)
-- Only works with `cfwheels-plugins` type packages
-- Plugins without a valid `box.json` are ignored
-- Column widths adjust dynamically for optimal display
-- JSON output includes plugin count for programmatic use
-- Use `wheels plugin info <name>` to see detailed information about a specific plugin

-      "latestVersion": "0.0.4"
-    }
-  ],
-  "count": 2,
-  "errors": []
-}
-```
-
-## Status Indicators
-
-During checking, each plugin displays:
-- **[OUTDATED]** (yellow) - Newer version available
-- **[OK]** (green) - Already at latest version
-- **[ERROR]** (red) - Could not check version (network issue, plugin not on ForgeBox, etc.)
-
-## How It Works
-
-1. **Plugin Discovery**: Scans `/plugins` folder for installed plugins
-2. **Version Query**: Uses `forgebox show` command for each plugin to get latest version
-3. **Version Comparison**: Cleans and compares version strings (strips non-numeric characters)
-4. **Display Results**: Shows outdated plugins with current and latest versions
-5. **Update Suggestions**: Provides appropriate update commands
-
-## Version Comparison
-
-The command performs string-based version comparison after cleaning:
-- Removes non-numeric characters except dots (e.g., "v0.0.4" becomes "0.0.4")
-- Compares cleaned versions for equality
-- Marks as outdated if versions differ
-
-## Update Strategies
-
-### Update Single Plugin
-```bash
-wheels plugin update bcrypt
-```
-
-### Update All Outdated Plugins
-```bash
-wheels plugin update:all
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Network Issues
-If ForgeBox cannot be reached, the plugin is marked with `[ERROR]` and listed separately.
-
-### No Plugins Installed
-```
-===========================================================
-  Checking for Plugin Updates
-===========================================================
-
-No plugins installed in /plugins folder
-Install plugins with: wheels plugin install <plugin-name>
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- Only checks plugins from `/plugins` folder (not box.json dependencies)
-- Only works with `cfwheels-plugins` type packages
-- Requires internet connection to query ForgeBox
-- Version check is performed in real-time (not cached)
-- Plugins are checked sequentially with status updates
-- Use `wheels plugin update:all` to update all outdated plugins at once
-- Dynamic table formatting adjusts column widths based on content

-      "slug": "cfwheels-bcrypt",
-      "version": "1.0.2",
-      "description": "CFWheels 2.x plugin helper methods for the bCrypt Java Lib",
-      "author": "neokoenig",
-      "downloads": 4393,

-  ],
-  "count": 2,
-  "query": ""
-}
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-1. **Execute ForgeBox Command**: Runs `forgebox show type=cfwheels-plugins` to get all plugins
-2. **Parse Output**: Scans the formatted output for lines containing `Slug: "plugin-slug"`
-3. **Extract Slugs**: Uses regex to extract slug values from quoted strings
-4. **Filter by Query**: If search term provided, only processes slugs containing that term
-5. **Fetch Details**: For each matching slug, calls `forgebox.getEntry(slug)` to get:
-   - Plugin title and description
-   - Latest version (from `latestVersion.version`)
-   - Author username (from `user.username`)
-   - Download count (from `hits`)
-   - Last updated date
-6. **Sort Results**: Sorts plugins by specified order (downloads, name, or updated date)
-7. **Format Output**: Displays in table or JSON format with dynamic column widths
-
-## Sort Options
-
-### downloads (default)
-Sorts by number of downloads, most popular first. Best for finding widely-used plugins.
-
-### name
-Sorts alphabetically by plugin name. Best for browsing all available plugins.
-
-### updated
-Sorts by last update date, most recent first. Best for finding actively maintained plugins.
-
-## Search Tips
-
-1. **Broad Search**: Start with general terms like "auth" or "cache"
-2. **Case Insensitive**: Search is case-insensitive
-3. **Partial Matching**: Matches plugins containing the search term anywhere in the slug
-4. **Popular First**: Default sort shows most downloaded plugins first
-5. **Empty Query**: Run without query to see all available plugins
-
-## Output Formats
-
-### Table Format (Default)
-- Color-coded columns (cyan names, green versions, yellow downloads)
-- Dynamic column widths based on content
-- Truncated descriptions with ellipsis
-- Clear section headers and dividers
-- Helpful command suggestions
-
-### JSON Format
-- Structured data for programmatic use
-- Includes plugin count
-- Includes search query
-- Complete plugin information
-
-## Integration with Other Commands
-
-After finding plugins:
-```bash
-# View detailed information
-wheels plugin info cfwheels-bcrypt
-
-# Install directly
-wheels plugin install cfwheels-bcrypt
-
-# List installed plugins
-wheels plugin list
-```
-
-## Performance Notes
-
-- Fetches all `cfwheels-plugins` from ForgeBox
-- Filters results client-side
-- Queries detailed info for each matching plugin
-- May take a few seconds for large result sets
-- Results are not cached (always fresh)
-
-## Error Handling
-
-If ForgeBox cannot be reached:
-```
-[ERROR] Error searching for plugins
-Error: Connection timeout
-```
-
-If no plugins of type `cfwheels-plugins` exist:
-```
-No plugins found
-
-Try:
-  wheels plugin search <different-keyword>
-  wheels plugin list --available
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- Only searches `cfwheels-plugins` type packages
-- Requires internet connection to query ForgeBox
-- Search is performed against plugin slugs
-- Results include version, downloads, and description
-- Dynamic table formatting adjusts to content
-- Some plugins may not have complete metadata
-- Plugins without valid metadata are skipped

-
-## Update Process
-
-1. **Display Header**: Shows command is checking for updates
-2. **Plugin Discovery**: Scans `/plugins` folder for installed plugins
-3. **Version Checking**: Queries ForgeBox for each plugin's latest version
-4. **Status Display**: Shows color-coded status for each plugin
-5. **Update List**: Displays table of plugins that need updating
-6. **Sequential Updates**: Updates each plugin one at a time
-7. **Progress Tracking**: Shows success/failure for each update
-8. **Summary Report**: Displays final update statistics
-9. **Helpful Commands**: Suggests next steps
-
-## Status Indicators
-
-During checking, each plugin displays:
-- **[OUTDATED]** (yellow) - Update available, will be updated
-- **[OK]** (green) - Already at latest version
-- **[ERROR]** (red) - Could not check version
-
-During updates:
-- **[UPDATE]** (yellow) - Plugin will be updated
-- **[OK]** (green) - Update completed successfully
-- **[ERROR]** (red) - Update failed
-
-## dryRun Mode
-
-Use `--dryRun` to preview updates without actually performing them. This is useful for:
-- Checking what would be updated before committing
-- Testing in CI/CD pipelines
-- Reviewing changes before production updates
-- Planning maintenance windows
-
-```bash
-wheels plugin update:all --dryRun
-```
-
-The dryRun mode:
-- Checks all plugins for updates
-- Shows what would be updated
-- Does NOT download or install anything
-- Provides command to perform actual updates
-
-## Update Strategy
-
-The command updates plugins sequentially:
-1. One plugin at a time (safer than parallel)
-2. Continues updating even if one fails
-3. Tracks success/failure for each plugin
-4. Provides detailed summary at the end
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Version Check Failures
-Plugins where version cannot be checked are listed separately and skipped for updates.
-
-### Update Failures
-If a plugin update fails:
-- The failure is tracked
-- Other updates continue
-- Error is reported in summary
-- Plugin can be updated individually later
-
-### Network Issues
-If ForgeBox cannot be reached:
-```
-===========================================================
-  Checking for Plugin Updates
-===========================================================
-
-  bcrypt                                  [ERROR] Could not check version
-  shortcodes                              [ERROR] Could not check version
-
-===========================================================
-
-[ERROR] Unable to check for updates
-
-Could not check 2 plugins due to network issues.
-Please check your internet connection and try again.
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Regular Updates**: Run weekly or monthly to stay current
-2. **Test First**: Always test updates in development before production
-3. **Use dryRun**: Preview updates with `--dryRun` before applying
-4. **Read Release Notes**: Check ForgeBox for breaking changes
-5. **Commit First**: Commit your code before updating plugins
-6. **Update Individually**: For critical plugins, use `wheels plugin update <name>`
-
-## Integration with Other Commands
-
-### Check Before Updating
-```bash
-# See which plugins are outdated
-wheels plugin outdated
-
-# Update all outdated plugins
-wheels plugin update:all
-```
-
-### Update Individual Plugins
-```bash
-# Update all plugins except one
-wheels plugin update:all --dryRun  # See what would update
-wheels plugin update plugin1        # Update individually
-wheels plugin update plugin2
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- Only updates plugins from `/plugins` folder
-- Only works with `cfwheels-plugins` type packages
-- Updates are performed sequentially (not in parallel)
-- Each update is independent - failures don't affect other updates
-- Requires internet connection to query ForgeBox and download updates
-- Version checks are performed in real-time (not cached)
-- Progress is shown for each plugin update
-- After updates, plugins may require application reload
-- Failed updates can be retried individually with `wheels plugin update <name>`
-- The command does NOT update plugins that are already at latest version

-
-Error checking ForgeBox: Connection timeout
-
-Unable to verify if update is needed
-
-Options:
-  - Specify a version:
-    wheels plugin update bcrypt --version=x.x.x
-  - Force reinstall:
-    wheels plugin update bcrypt --force
-```
-
-## Update Process
-
-1. **Find Plugin**: Searches `/plugins` folder for matching plugin by name, slug, or folder name
-2. **Read Metadata**: Extracts current version and slug from plugin's `box.json`
-3. **Query ForgeBox**: Uses `forgebox show` command to get latest version
-4. **Version Comparison**: Cleans and compares versions to check if update needed
-5. **Skip if Up-to-Date**: Exits early if already at target version (unless `--force`)
-6. **Remove Old Version**: Deletes the plugin folder
-7. **Install New Version**: Uses PackageService to download and install from ForgeBox
-8. **Verify Location**: Moves plugin to `/plugins` if installed elsewhere
-9. **Confirm Success**: Displays success message with helpful commands
-
-## Plugin Matching
-
-The command uses a smart matching algorithm to find plugins by:
-1. **Folder name** (e.g., `bcrypt`)
-2. **Slug from box.json** (e.g., `cfwheels-bcrypt`)
-3. **Name from box.json** (e.g., `bcrypt`, `CFWheels Bcrypt`)
-4. **Normalized variations** (strips `cfwheels-` and `wheels-` prefixes)
-
-This means you can update using any of these:
-```bash
-wheels plugin update bcrypt
-wheels plugin update cfwheels-bcrypt
-wheels plugin update "CFWheels Bcrypt"
-```
-
-## Version Comparison
-
-The command cleans versions before comparison:
-- Removes all non-numeric characters except dots
-- Example: `v0.0.4` becomes `0.0.4`
-- Example: `0.0.4-beta` becomes `0.0.4`
-- Compares cleaned strings for equality
-
-If versions match, the plugin is considered up-to-date.
-
-## Force Flag
-
-Use `--force` to reinstall even when already up-to-date. Useful for:
-- Recovering from corrupted installations
-- Forcing cache refresh
-- Testing installation process
-- Reinstalling after manual modifications
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Plugins Directory Not Found
-```
-[ERROR] Plugins directory not found
-Plugin 'bcrypt' is not installed
-```
-
-### Plugin Not Installed
-```
-[ERROR] Plugin not found
-Plugin 'bcrypt' is not installed
-
-Install this plugin:
-  wheels plugin install bcrypt
-```
-
-### ForgeBox Query Failed
-```
-Error checking ForgeBox: [error message]
-
-Unable to verify if update is needed
-
-Options:

-  - Force reinstall:
-    wheels plugin update bcrypt --force
-```
-
-### Installation Failed
-```
-[ERROR] Error updating plugin
-Error: [error message]
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Check First**: Use `wheels plugin outdated` to see which plugins need updates
-2. **Update One at a Time**: Test each plugin update individually
-3. **Read Release Notes**: Check ForgeBox for breaking changes
-4. **Test in Development**: Update in dev environment before production
-5. **Keep Backups**: Commit your code before updating plugins
-
-## Notes
-
-- Only updates plugins from `/plugins` folder
-- Only works with `cfwheels-plugins` type packages
-- Removes old version completely before installing new version
-- Uses ForgeBox slug for installation to ensure correct package
-- Requires internet connection to query ForgeBox
-- Version check is performed in real-time (not cached)
-- After update, plugin may require application reload
-- If installation fails, the old version is already removed (no automatic rollback)
-- The command uses CommandBox's PackageService for downloading

-
-## Security Checks
-
-### Critical Severity Issues
-
-#### SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
-- **Raw SQL queries** without proper parameterization
-- **Dynamic query building** using string concatenation
-- **Unsafe use of variables** in WHERE clauses
-
-**Example Detection:**
-```cfm
-// VULNERABLE - Will be flagged
-users = model("User").findAll(where="name = '#params.name#'");
-
-// SECURE - Recommended fix
-users = model("User").findAll(where="name = :name", name=params.name);
-```
-
-#### Authentication Bypass
-- **Missing authentication filters** on sensitive actions
-- **Weak password policies**
-- **Session management issues**
-
-#### Code Injection
-- **Unsafe eval() usage**
-- **Dynamic component creation** with user input
-- **Unsafe file includes**
-
-### High Severity Issues
-
-#### Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
-- **Missing CSRF protection** in controllers
-- **Forms without authenticity tokens**
-- **State-changing GET requests**
-
-**Example Detection:**
-```cfm
-// VULNERABLE - Will be flagged
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function delete() {
-        model("User").deleteByKey(params.key);
-    }
-}
-
-// SECURE - Recommended fix
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        protectsFromForgery(); // Add this
-    }
-
-    function delete() {
-        model("User").deleteByKey(params.key);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-#### Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
-- **Unescaped output** in views
-- **Raw HTML rendering** without sanitization
-- **User input displayed** without validation
-
-#### Information Disclosure
-- **Error messages with sensitive data**
-- **Debug information** in production
-- **Directory listing enabled**
-
-### Medium Severity Issues
-
-#### Configuration Issues
-- **Debug mode enabled** in production
-- **Verbose error reporting** enabled
-- **Missing security headers**
-- **Weak session configuration**
-
-#### Access Control
-- **Missing authorization checks**
-- **Overly permissive file permissions**
-- **Weak password requirements**
-
-### Low Severity Issues
-
-#### Code Quality
-- **Commented-out security code**
-- **TODO comments** about security
-- **Deprecated security functions**
-
-## Report Formats
-
-### Console Output (Default)

-
-## Automatic Fixes
-
-### What Can Be Auto-Fixed
-
-#### CSRF Protection
-```cfm
-// BEFORE
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function create() {
-        // No CSRF protection
-    }
-}
-
-// AFTER (auto-fixed)
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        protectsFromForgery(); // Added automatically
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        // Now protected against CSRF
-    }
-}
-```
-
-#### Debug Mode Configuration
-```cfm
-// BEFORE - /config/production/settings.cfm
-set(showErrorInformation=true);  // Dangerous in production
-
-// AFTER (auto-fixed)
-set(showErrorInformation=false); // Secured automatically
-```
-
-#### Session Security
-```cfm
-// BEFORE - /config/settings.cfm
-// Missing session security
-
-// AFTER (auto-fixed)
-set(sessionTimeout=30);          // Added timeout
-set(sessionCookieSecure=true);   // Secure cookies
-set(sessionCookieHttpOnly=true); // HTTP-only cookies
-```
-
-### What Requires Manual Review
-
-- **SQL injection vulnerabilities** - Require code analysis
-- **Hardcoded credentials** - Need secure replacement
-- **Business logic flaws** - Require domain knowledge
-- **Complex XSS issues** - Need context-aware fixes
-
-## Integration with CI/CD
-
-### GitHub Actions
-```yaml
-- name: Security Scan
-  run: |
-    wheels security scan --report=json --output=security.json --severity=high
-    if [ -s security.json ]; then
-      echo "Security issues found"
-      cat security.json
-      exit 1
-    fi
-```
-
-### Exit Codes
-| Code | Meaning |
-|------|---------|
-| 0 | No security issues found |
-| 1 | Critical or high severity issues found |
-| 2 | Medium severity issues found |
-| 3 | Scan error occurred |
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Custom Security Rules
-Create `/config/security-scan.cfm` to customize scanning:
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-// Custom security scan configuration
-set(securityScan = {
-    // Enable/disable specific checks
-    sqlInjectionCheck = true,
-    csrfCheck = true,
-    xssCheck = true,
-    authenticationCheck = true,
-
-    // Custom severity levels
-    customRules = {
-        "hardcodedPasswords" = "critical",
-        "debugModeProduction" = "high",
-        "missingHttpsRedirect" = "medium"
-    },
-
-    // Excluded paths
-    excludePaths = [
-        "/tests/",
-        "/vendor/",
-        "/build/"
-    ],
-
-    // File patterns to scan
-    includePatterns = [
-        "*.cfc",
-        "*.cfm",
-        "*.cfml"
-    ]
-});
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Regular Scanning
-```bash
-# Weekly security scan
-wheels security scan --report=html --output=weekly-security-report.html
-
-# Pre-deployment scan
-wheels security scan --severity=high --fix
-```
-
-### Team Integration
-```bash
-# Generate team report
-wheels security scan --report=html --output=team-security-$(date +%Y%m%d).html
-
-# Share results
-git add team-security-*.html
-git commit -m "Security scan results"
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**1. "No issues found" but security concerns exist**
-- Check `--severity` setting (try `--severity=low`)
-- Verify scan path includes application code
-- Review excluded patterns in configuration
-
-**2. "Permission denied" errors**
-- Ensure read access to all scanned files
-- Check file system permissions
-- Run with appropriate user privileges
-
-**3. "False positives" in results**
-- Review custom rules configuration
-- Add specific exclusions for known safe code
-- Use `--path` to focus on specific areas
-
-## Security Standards Compliance
-
-The security scan checks for compliance with:
-- **OWASP Top 10** - Web application security risks
-- **CWE** - Common Weakness Enumeration
-- **NIST** - National Institute of Standards guidelines
-- **SANS Top 25** - Most dangerous software errors

-```
-
-## Test Organization
-
-### Directory Structure
-
-The standard test directory structure for Wheels applications:
-
-```
-tests/
-├── specs/             # Main test directory (default for type=app)
-│   ├── unit/          # Unit tests
-│   │   ├── models/    # Model unit tests
-│   │   ├── controllers/ # Controller unit tests
-│   │   └── helpers/   # Helper unit tests
-│   ├── integration/   # Integration tests
-│   │   ├── workflows/ # User workflow tests
-│   │   └── api/       # API integration tests
-│   └── functions/     # Function-specific tests
-└── results/           # Test results and reports
-    └── coverage/      # Coverage reports
-```
-
-### Test Types
-
-The `--type` parameter determines which test suite to run:
-
-- **app** (default): Runs tests in `/wheels/app/tests` route, uses `tests/specs` directory
-- **core**: Runs tests in `/wheels/core/tests` route, for framework tests
-
-### Sample Tests
-
-When you run `test:unit` or `test:integration` for the first time and the directories don't exist, sample test files are created automatically in the correct locations:
-- Unit tests: `tests/specs/unit/SampleUnitTest.cfc`
-- Integration tests: `tests/specs/integration/SampleIntegrationTest.cfc`
-
-## Output Formats
-
-All test commands support multiple output formats via the `--format` parameter:
-
-- **txt** (default): Human-readable text output
-- **json**: JSON format for parsing and automation
-- **junit**: JUnit XML format for CI/CD integration
-- **html**: HTML format for browser viewing
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Organize Tests by Type**
-   - Keep unit tests in `tests/specs/unit/`
-   - Keep integration tests in `tests/specs/integration/`
-   - Use subdirectories for better organization
-
-2. **Use Labels for Test Organization**
-   ```cfc
-   it("should process payments", function() {
-       // test code
-   }).labels("critical", "payments");
-   ```
-
-3. **Set Coverage Thresholds**
-   - Aim for at least 80% code coverage
-   - Use `--threshold` to enforce minimum coverage
-
-4. **Watch Mode for TDD**
-   - Use `test:watch` during development
-   - Keep tests running in a separate terminal
-
-5. **CI/CD Integration**
-   - Use `--format=junit` for CI systems
-   - Generate coverage reports with `--coverageReporter=xml`
-
-## Coverage Requirements
-
-Code coverage requires FusionReactor 8.0+ to be installed and configured:
-
-1. Install FusionReactor
-2. Enable Code Coverage in FusionReactor settings
-3. Restart your ColdFusion/Lucee server
-4. Run `wheels test:coverage`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### TestBox CLI Not Found
-
-If you get an error about TestBox CLI not being installed:
-
-```bash
-box install testbox-cli
-box reload
-```
-
-### No Tests Found
-
-Make sure your test files:
-- Are in the correct directory (`tests/specs/` or subdirectories)
-- Have the `.cfc` extension
-- Extend `wheels.WheelsTest`
-
-### Coverage Not Working
-
-If coverage shows as disabled:
-- Verify FusionReactor is installed
-- Check that Code Coverage is enabled in FusionReactor settings
-- Ensure you've restarted the server after enabling coverage
-
-### Test Routes Not Working
-
-The test commands use these routes:
-- App tests: `http://localhost:port/wheels/app/tests`
-- Core tests: `http://localhost:port/wheels/core/tests`
-
-Ensure these routes are accessible and properly configured.
-

-- `wheels test run` - Modern test runner (not a TestBox wrapper)
-- `box testbox run` - Direct TestBox CLI usage
-- `wheels g test` - Generate test files

-## Writing Tests
-
-### Model Test Example
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-
-    function run() {
-        describe("User Model", function() {
-
-            beforeEach(function() {
-                // Reset test data
-                application.wheelsdi.getInstance("User").deleteAll();
-            });
-
-            it("validates required fields", function() {
-                var user = model("User").new();
-                expect(user.valid()).toBeFalse();
-                expect(user.errors).toHaveKey("email");
-                expect(user.errors).toHaveKey("username");
-            });
-
-            it("saves with valid data", function() {
-                var user = model("User").new(
-                    email="test@example.com",
-                    username="testuser",
-                    password="secret123"
-                );
-                expect(user.save()).toBeTrue();
-                expect(user.id).toBeGT(0);
-            });
-
-            it("prevents duplicate emails", function() {
-                var user1 = model("User").create(
-                    email="test@example.com",
-                    username="user1"
-                );
-
-                var user2 = model("User").new(
-                    email="test@example.com",
-                    username="user2"
-                );
-
-                expect(user2.valid()).toBeFalse();
-                expect(user2.errors.email).toContain("already exists");
-            });
-
-        });
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-### Controller Test Example
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-
-    function run() {
-        describe("Products Controller", function() {
-
-            it("lists all products", function() {
-                // Create test data
-                var product = model("Product").create(name="Test Product");
-
-                // Make request
-                var event = execute(
-                    event="products.index",
-                    renderResults=true
-                );
-
-                // Assert response
-                expect(event.getRenderedContent()).toInclude("Test Product");
-                expect(event.getValue("products")).toBeArray();
-            });
-
-            it("requires auth for create", function() {
-                var event = execute(
-                    event="products.create",
-                    renderResults=false
-                );
-
-                expect(event.getValue("relocate_URI")).toBe("/login");
-            });
-
-        });
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Test Configuration
-
-### /tests/Application.cfc
-```cfc
-component {
-    this.name = "WheelsTestingSuite" & Hash(GetCurrentTemplatePath());
-
-    // Use test datasource
-    this.datasources["wheelstestdb"] = {
-        url = "jdbc:h2:mem:wheelstestdb;MODE=MySQL"
-    };
-    this.datasource = "wheelstestdb";
-
-    // Test settings
-    this.testbox = {
-        testBundles = "tests",
-        recurse = true,
-        format = "simple",
-        labels = "",
-        options = {}
-    };
-}
-```
-
-## Reporters
-
-### txt (Default)
-```bash
-wheels test run format=txt
-```
-- Plain txt output

-
-### JUnit
-```bash
-wheels test run format=junit
-```
-- JUnit XML format
-- For CI integration
-- Jenkins compatible
-
-
-## Filtering Tests
-
-### By Bundle
-```bash
-# Run only model tests
-wheels test run bundles=tests.models
-
-# Run multiple bundles
-wheels test run bundles=tests.models,tests.controllers
-```
-
-### By Label
-```cfc
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" labels="label title"
-```
-
-```bash
-# Run only critical tests
-wheels test run labels="label title"
-
-# Run auth OR api tests
-wheels test run labels=auth,api
-```
-
-### By Name Filter
-```bash
-# Run tests matching pattern
-wheels test run filter="user"
-wheels test run filter="validate*"
-```
-
-
-Benefits:
-- Faster execution
-- Better CPU utilization
-- Finds concurrency issues
-
-## Code Coverage
-
-Generate coverage reports:
-```bash
-wheels test run --coverage coverageOutputDir=coverage/
-```
-
-View report:
-```bash
-open coverage/index.html
-```
-
-## Test Helpers
-
-Create reusable test utilities:
-
-```cfc
-// /tests/helpers/TestHelper.cfc
-component {
-
-    function createTestUser(struct overrides={}) {
-        var defaults = {
-            email: "test#CreateUUID()#@example.com",
-            username: "user#CreateUUID()#",
-            password: "testpass123"
-        };
-
-        return model("User").create(
-            argumentCollection = defaults.append(arguments.overrides)
-        );
-    }
-
-    function loginAs(required user) {
-        session.userId = arguments.user.id;
-        session.isAuthenticated = true;
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-## Database Strategies
-
-### Transaction Rollback
-```cfc
-function beforeAll() {
-    transaction action="begin";
-}
-
-function afterAll() {
-    transaction action="rollback";
-}
-```
-
-### Database Cleaner
-```cfc
-function beforeEach() {
-    queryExecute("DELETE FROM users");
-    queryExecute("DELETE FROM products");
-}
-```
-
-### Fixtures
-```cfc
-function loadFixtures() {
-    var users = deserializeJSON(
-        fileRead("/tests/fixtures/users.json")
-    );
-
-    for (var userData in users) {
-        model("User").create(userData);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## CI/CD Integration
-
-### GitHub Actions
-```yaml
-- name: Run tests
-  run: |
-    wheels test run  format=junit outputFile=test-results.xml
-
-- name: Upload results
-  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
-  with:
-    name: test-results
-    path: test-results.xml
-```
-
-### Pre-commit Hook
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-# .git/hooks/pre-commit
-
-echo "Running tests..."
-wheels test run labels=unit
-
-if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
-    echo "Tests failed. Commit aborted."
-    exit 1
-fi
-```
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### Out of Memory
-```bash
-# Increase memory
-box server set jvm.heapSize=1024
-box server restart
-```
-
-### Test Pollution
-- Use `beforeEach`/`afterEach`
-- Reset global state
-- Use transactions
-
-### Flaky Tests
-- Avoid time-dependent tests
-- Mock external services
-- Use fixed test data

-
-# Configuration Management Guide
-
-This guide covers configuration management in Wheels, including working with environment variables, settings files, and the CLI tools for managing configuration.
-
-## Overview
-
-Wheels provides flexible configuration management through:
-- Environment-specific settings files
-- Environment variables (.env files)
-- CLI commands for configuration management
-- Security best practices
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-### .env File Format
-
-Wheels supports two formats for .env files:
-
-#### Properties Format (Recommended)
-```bash
-# Database Configuration
-DB_HOST=localhost
-DB_PORT=3306
-DB_NAME=myapp_development
-DB_USER=wheels
-DB_PASSWORD=secretpassword
-
-# Application Settings
-WHEELS_ENV=development
-RELOAD_PASSWORD=myreloadpassword
-SECRET_KEY=a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0
-
-# Feature Flags
-DEBUG_MODE=true
-CACHE_ENABLED=false
-```
-
-#### JSON Format
-```json
-{
-  "DB_HOST": "localhost",
-  "DB_PORT": 3306,
-  "DB_NAME": "myapp_development",
-  "DB_USER": "wheels",
-  "DB_PASSWORD": "secretpassword",
-  "WHEELS_ENV": "development",
-  "DEBUG_MODE": true
-}
-```
-
-### Environment-Specific Files
-
-Wheels automatically loads environment-specific .env files:
-
-1. `.env` - Base configuration (always loaded first)
-2. `.env.{environment}` - Environment-specific overrides (loaded second)
-
-Example structure:
-```
-myapp/
-├── .env                 # Base configuration
-├── .env.development     # Development overrides
-├── .env.testing        # Testing overrides
-├── .env.production     # Production settings
-└── .gitignore          # MUST exclude .env files!
-```
-
-### Variable Interpolation
-
-Use `${VAR}` syntax to reference other variables:
-
-```bash
-# .env
-APP_NAME=MyWheelsApp
-APP_ENV=development
-
-# Database URLs with interpolation
-DB_HOST=localhost
-DB_PORT=3306
-DB_NAME=${APP_NAME}_${APP_ENV}
-DB_URL=mysql://${DB_HOST}:${DB_PORT}/${DB_NAME}
-
-# API endpoints
-API_BASE_URL=https://api.example.com
-API_USERS_URL=${API_BASE_URL}/users
-API_ORDERS_URL=${API_BASE_URL}/orders
-```
-
-### Type Casting
-
-Wheels automatically casts certain values:
-
-```bash
-# Booleans (cast to true/false)
-DEBUG_MODE=true
-CACHE_ENABLED=false
-
-# Numbers (cast to numeric values)
-MAX_CONNECTIONS=100
-CACHE_TTL=3600
-REQUEST_TIMEOUT=30
-
-# Strings (remain as strings)
-APP_NAME=MyApp
-API_KEY=abc123def456
-```
-
-### Using Environment Variables in Settings
-
-Access environment variables in your settings files:
-
-```cfscript
-// config/settings.cfm
-// Using application.env struct
-set(dataSourceName = application.env['DB_NAME']);
-set(dataSourceUserName = application.env['DB_USER']);
-set(dataSourcePassword = application.env['DB_PASSWORD']);
-
-// With defaults
-set(cacheQueries = application.env['CACHE_ENABLED'] ?: false);
-set(reloadPassword = application.env['RELOAD_PASSWORD'] ?: 'defaultpassword');
-
-// Environment-specific logic
-if (application.env['WHEELS_ENV'] == 'production') {
-    set(showDebugInformation = false);
-    set(cacheFileChecking = true);
-}
-```
-
-## Configuration Files
-
-### Directory Structure
-
-```
-config/
-├── settings.cfm           # Base configuration
-├── development/
-│   └── settings.cfm      # Development overrides
-├── testing/
-│   └── settings.cfm      # Testing overrides
-├── production/
-│   └── settings.cfm      # Production overrides
-└── maintenance/
-    └── settings.cfm      # Maintenance mode settings
-```
-
-### Settings Precedence
-
-Settings are loaded in this order (later overrides earlier):
-1. Framework defaults
-2. `config/settings.cfm`
-3. `config/{environment}/settings.cfm`
-4. Plugin settings
-5. Runtime `set()` calls
-
-### Common Configuration Patterns
-
-#### Database Configuration
-```cfscript
-// config/settings.cfm
-set(dataSourceName = application.env['DB_NAME'] ?: 'wheelstutorial');
-set(dataSourceUserName = application.env['DB_USER'] ?: 'root');
-set(dataSourcePassword = application.env['DB_PASSWORD'] ?: '');
-```
-
-#### Environment-Specific Settings
-```cfscript
-// config/production/settings.cfm
-// Production optimizations
-set(cacheQueries = true);
-set(cachePartials = true);
-set(cachePages = true);
-set(cacheActions = true);
-set(cacheImages = true);
-set(cacheModelConfig = true);
-set(cacheControllerConfig = true);
-set(cacheRoutes = true);
-set(cacheDatabaseSchema = true);
-set(cacheFileChecking = false);
-
-// Security
-set(showDebugInformation = false);
-set(showErrorInformation = false);
-
-// Error handling
-set(sendEmailOnError = true);
-set(errorEmailAddress = application.env['ERROR_EMAIL']);
-```
-
-## CLI Configuration Commands
-
-### Dumping Configuration
-
-Export current configuration:
-
-```bash
-# View current config (masked)
-wheels config dump
-
-# Export production config as JSON
-wheels config dump production --format=json --output=prod-config.json
-
-# Export as .env format
-wheels config dump --format=env --output=config.env
-
-# Export without masking (careful!)
-wheels config dump --no-mask
-```
-
-### Checking Configuration
-
-Validate configuration for issues:
-
-```bash
-# Basic check
-wheels config check
-
-# Check production with fixes
-wheels config check production --fix
-
-# Verbose output with suggestions
-wheels config check --verbose
-```
-
-Common checks performed:
-- Missing required settings
-- Hardcoded sensitive values
-- Production security settings
-- Database configuration
-- Caching optimizations
-
-### Comparing Environments
-
-Find differences between environments:
-
-```bash
-# Full comparison
-wheels config diff development production
-
-# Show only differences
-wheels config diff development production --changes-only
-
-# Export as JSON
-wheels config diff testing production --format=json > diff.json
-```
-
-### Managing Secrets
-
-Generate secure secrets:
-
-```bash
-# Generate and display
-wheels secret
-wheels secret --type=base64 --length=48
-
-# Save to .env
-wheels secret --save-to-env=SECRET_KEY
-wheels secret --type=uuid --save-to-env=API_KEY
-
-# Multiple secrets
-wheels secret --save-to-env=SESSION_SECRET
-wheels secret --save-to-env=CSRF_TOKEN
-wheels secret --save-to-env=ENCRYPTION_KEY
-```
-
-### Environment Variable Management
-
-#### Setting Variables
-```bash
-# Set single variable
-wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost
-
-# Set multiple
-wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost DB_PORT=3306 DB_NAME=myapp
-
-# Update production file
-wheels env set --file=.env.production API_URL=https://api.example.com
-```
-
-#### Validating Files
-```bash
-# Basic validation
-wheels env validate
-
-# Check required variables
-wheels env validate --required=DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD
-
-# Validate production
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production --verbose
-```
-
-#### Merging Files
-```bash
-# Merge for deployment
-wheels env merge .env .env.production --output=.env.deployed
-
-# Preview merge
-wheels env merge .env.defaults .env.local --dry-run
-```
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-### 1. Never Commit Secrets
-
-Always add .env files to .gitignore:
-
-```gitignore
-# Environment files
-.env
-.env.*
-!.env.example
-!.env.defaults
-```
-
-### 2. Use Strong Secrets
-
-Generate cryptographically secure values:
-
-```bash
-# For session secrets
-wheels secret --type=hex --length=64 --save-to-env=SESSION_SECRET
-
-# For API keys
-wheels secret --type=base64 --length=48 --save-to-env=API_SECRET
-
-# For passwords
-wheels secret --type=alphanumeric --length=32
-```
-
-### 3. Validate Production Config
-
-Run checks before deployment:
-
-```bash
-# Full production check
-wheels config check production --verbose
-
-# Required checks
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production \
-  --required=DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD,SECRET_KEY,RELOAD_PASSWORD
-```
-
-### 4. Mask Sensitive Output
-
-Always use masking in logs/output:
-
-```cfscript
-// In your code
-writeOutput("Database: #application.env['DB_NAME']#");
-writeOutput("Password: ***MASKED***"); // Never output passwords
-```
-
-### 5. Environment-Specific Secrets
-
-Use different secrets per environment:
-
-```bash
-# .env.development
-SECRET_KEY=dev_secret_key_only_for_local
-
-# .env.production
-SECRET_KEY=prod_0a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0
-```
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Multi-Environment Setup
-
-```bash
-# 1. Create base config
-wheels env set WHEELS_ENV=development DB_NAME=myapp_dev
-
-# 2. Create production config
-wheels env set --file=.env.production \
-  WHEELS_ENV=production \
-  DB_NAME=myapp_prod \
-  DB_HOST=prod.database.com
-
-# 3. Create testing config
-wheels env set --file=.env.testing \
-  WHEELS_ENV=testing \
-  DB_NAME=myapp_test
-
-# 4. Validate all
-wheels env validate
-wheels env validate --file=.env.production
-wheels env validate --file=.env.testing
-```
-
-### Deployment Configuration
-
-```bash
-# 1. Merge configs for deployment
-wheels env merge .env.defaults .env.production --output=.env.deploy
-
-# 2. Validate merged config
-wheels env validate --file=.env.deploy \
-  --required=DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD,SECRET_KEY
-
-# 3. Check security
-wheels config check production --verbose
-```
-
-### Local Development
-
-```bash
-# 1. Copy example file
-cp .env.example .env
-
-# 2. Set local values
-wheels env set DB_HOST=localhost DB_USER=root DB_PASSWORD=
-
-# 3. Generate secrets
-wheels secret --save-to-env=SECRET_KEY
-wheels secret --save-to-env=RELOAD_PASSWORD
-
-# 4. Validate
-wheels env validate
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Environment Variables Not Loading
-
-1. Check file exists and is readable
-2. Verify format (properties vs JSON)
-3. Check for syntax errors:
-   ```bash
-   wheels env validate
-   ```
-
-### Wrong Environment Loading
-
-1. Check WHEELS_ENV variable:
-   ```bash
-   wheels env show --key=WHEELS_ENV
-   ```
-2. Verify environment detection order:
-   - `.env` file WHEELS_ENV
-   - System environment WHEELS_ENV
-   - Default to 'development'
-
-### Interpolation Not Working
-
-1. Ensure variables are defined before use
-2. Check syntax: `${VAR_NAME}`
-3. Maximum 10 interpolation passes (prevent loops)
-
-### Sensitive Values Exposed
-
-1. Run security check:
-   ```bash
-   wheels config check --verbose
-   ```
-2. Move hardcoded values to .env
-3. Use `application.env` references

+title: Configuration
+description: Configure the wheels CLI — lucee.json, environment profiles, global flags, LUCLI_HOME, and the split between per-project and user-level state.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 4

+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+The `wheels` CLI is configured at two levels. Per-project behaviour — which Lucee version to run, which port to listen on, which dependencies to pull in, what changes between `dev` and `prod` — lives in a `lucee.json` at the project root. User- and machine-level state — installed modules, running servers, resolved deps, stored secrets — lives under a home directory that defaults to `~/.wheels` when you invoke the binary as `wheels`. Between those two surfaces, a handful of environment variables and global flags let you redirect either one without editing files.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Pinning a Lucee version and server port for a project.
+- Switching between `dev`, `test`, and `prod` without maintaining separate config files.
+- Keeping a `wheels` install and a standalone `lucli` install side by side on the same machine.
+- Turning on verbose logging or command timing when something goes wrong.
+- Setting `LUCLI_HOME` or `JAVA_HOME` for CI or container builds.
+
+## lucee.json
+
+`lucee.json` sits at the root of a Wheels project and configures the server, dependencies, and any environment-specific overrides. The file is optional — if none exists, the CLI falls back to defaults — but every non-trivial project ends up with one. It is read by `wheels server start`, `wheels server run`, and the dependency-install flow that resolves anything listed under `dependencies`.
+
+The schema is permissive (unknown keys are ignored) and JSON-with-comments is accepted by the parser. A minimal file that pins a Lucee version and a port looks like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-wheels-app",
+  "lucee": {
+    "version": "7.0.1.100"
+  },
+  "port": 3000,
+  "webroot": "./"
+}
+```
+
+An annotated maximal example, showing every top-level key the LuCLI parser recognises today:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "name": "my-wheels-app",
+  "lucee": {
+    "version": "6.2.2.91",
+    "variant": "standard"

+  "port": 3456,
+  "shutdownPort": 9010,

+  "ajp": {

+    "useLockFile": false,
+    "installDevDependencies": false
+  },
+
+  // Per-environment overrides — see "Profiles" below.
+  "environments": {}
+}
+```
+
+The file is JSON — comments above are for illustration only and will only parse because LuCLI enables Jackson's `ALLOW_COMMENTS` feature. If you want to stay strictly compliant, drop them.
+
+<Aside type="tip" title="Start small">
+You almost never need the full object. Start with `name`, `lucee.version`, and `port`; add sections as you hit them. `wheels server start` will tell you when a missing key forces it to fall back to a default.
+</Aside>
+
+## Profiles
+
+LuCLI uses the word *profile* for two unrelated things, and keeping them separate avoids confusion.
+
+### Environment profiles (per-project)
+
+The `environments` object in `lucee.json` lets you override specific keys for a named environment. Keys inside an environment are merged over the base config — anything you omit is inherited.
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-app",
+  "lucee": { "version": "7.0.1.100" },
+  "port": 8890,
+  "jvm": { "maxMemory": "512m" },
+  "environments": {
+    "dev": {
+      "port": 8891,
+      "openBrowser": true
+    },
+    "prod": {
+      "port": 8080,
+      "jvm": { "maxMemory": "2048m" },
+      "admin": { "password": "secure_prod_password" },
+      "openBrowser": false
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Select an environment with `--env` (or the short form `-e`) on any command that loads `lucee.json`:
+
+```bash
+wheels server start --env=prod
+wheels server run -e dev
+```
+
+If the environment name you pass isn't defined in `lucee.json`, the CLI fails fast with a message listing the environments that *are* defined. Environment overrides apply both to server-level keys (`port`, `jvm`, `admin`) and to `dependencySettings` (for example, `installDevDependencies: true` in `dev` and `false` in `prod`).
+
+### Binary-name profiles (CLI branding)
+
+Separate from environment profiles, LuCLI also has a small profile system that decides which branding and home directory the binary uses. When the binary is invoked as `wheels`, the `WheelsProfile` activates and the default home directory is `~/.wheels`. When invoked as `lucli` (or any other name), `DefaultProfile` activates and the default is `~/.lucli`. Profile selection is based on the binary's filename — the wheels formula ships a launcher named `wheels`, which is what triggers the Wheels profile.
+
+You shouldn't need to touch this directly. It matters only as an explanation for why `wheels` stores everything under `~/.wheels/` while a standalone `lucli` install uses `~/.lucli/` — the two can coexist without stepping on each other.
+
+## Environment variables
+
+The CLI reads a small set of environment variables and JVM system properties. Values below are checked in order: JVM system property (passed via `-D`) wins over environment variable, which wins over the default.
+
+| Name | Read by | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `LUCLI_HOME` | LuCLI core (`LucliPaths`) | `~/.wheels` under the `wheels` binary; `~/.lucli` under `lucli` | Base directory for all user-level state — modules, servers, deps, secrets, settings. |
+| `LUCLI_BACKUPS_DIR` | LuCLI core (`LucliPaths`) | `<LUCLI_HOME>_backups` alongside home | Where backups are written. Override to point backups at a different disk or directory. |
+| `JAVA_HOME` | JVM (read by the wheels wrapper) | Set to `openjdk@21` by the Homebrew formula | The JDK the launcher invokes. The wrapper sets this explicitly so a missing shell-level `JAVA_HOME` doesn't break `wheels`. |
+| `LUCLI_LOCALE` | LuCLI (`StringOutput`) | Falls back to `LANG`, then the JVM default | Locale for CLI message output. |
+| `LUCLI_SECRETS_PASSPHRASE` | LuCLI secrets store | (none) | Unlock the encrypted local secrets store non-interactively. Used by CI. |
+| `EDITOR` | LuCLI (`CommandProcessor`) | Platform default | External editor invoked by interactive `edit` flows. |
+
+JVM system-property equivalents exist where relevant: `-Dlucli.home=…`, `-Dlucli.backups.dir=…`, `-Dlucli.locale=…`. These take precedence over the environment variable of the same name. There is no `WHEELS_HOME` — all user-level state uses `LUCLI_HOME` regardless of which binary name launched it.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="The wrapper owns LUCLI_HOME by default">
+The Homebrew formula's launcher (`bin/wheels`) always exports `LUCLI_HOME=$HOME/.wheels` before handing off to the LuCLI binary. That means a `LUCLI_HOME` you exported in your shell is overridden for `wheels` invocations. If you need a different home for a specific run, pass `-Dlucli.home=/path/to/home` as a JVM property instead.
+</Aside>
+
+## Verbose and timing
+
+Four global flags are defined on the root `wheels` command and apply to every subcommand:
+
+| Flag | Short | Effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--verbose` | `-v` | Enables verbose output. Individual commands print extra detail (resolved paths, HTTP requests, dep resolution). |
+| `--debug` | `-d` | Enables debug output (stack traces, internal state dumps). |
+| `--timing` | `-t` | Times each command and prints a summary on exit. Useful when something feels slow. |
+| `--whitespace` | `-w` | Preserves whitespace in script output (for `wheels cfml` and similar). |
+
+Global flags go *before* the subcommand:
+
+```bash
+wheels --verbose server start
+wheels -t generate model User name email
+wheels -v -t test
+```
+
+The Wheels Module's `Module.cfc` accepts `verboseEnabled` and `timingEnabled` arguments on init, so these flags propagate from LuCLI core into the module's subcommands — a timed `wheels generate` reports the per-step timing the same way a timed `wheels server start` does.
+
+## Per-project vs global state
+
+The CLI keeps two kinds of state in two distinct places.
+
+**Per-project.** Everything that belongs to the app lives inside the project directory: `lucee.json`, the app source, the `vendor/wheels/` framework copy, `dependencies/` (or whatever `dependencySettings.installLocation` points at), and `tests/`. Move the directory, zip it, commit it — the project is self-contained.
+
+**User-level.** Everything the CLI itself installs or caches lives under `LUCLI_HOME` (default `~/.wheels` for `wheels`, `~/.lucli` for `lucli`). That includes:
+
+- `modules/` — installed LuCLI modules, including the Wheels Module itself at `modules/wheels/`.
+- `servers/` — state for each Lucee server the CLI has started (lockfiles, PIDs, per-server config).
+- `deps/` and `deps/git-cache/` — resolved and cached dependencies.
+- `secrets/` — encrypted local secrets store.
+- `ai/` — AI helper settings and skills.
+- `settings.json` — CLI-level settings.
+
+`<LUCLI_HOME>_backups/` (default `~/.wheels_backups/` or `~/.lucli_backups/`) sits alongside the home directory and holds anything the CLI backed up before a destructive operation.
+
+### Running wheels and lucli side by side
+
+Because `wheels` defaults to `~/.wheels` and `lucli` defaults to `~/.lucli`, the two installs are isolated by default — no action needed. If you want `wheels` to share state with a standalone LuCLI install anyway (unusual, but legitimate for debugging), point `LUCLI_HOME` at the shared directory:
+
+```bash
+LUCLI_HOME=$HOME/.lucli wheels server status
+```
+
+If you want a single machine to juggle multiple Wheels installs — say, one for work and one for a personal project — override `LUCLI_HOME` per-shell:
+
+```bash
+# Project A
+export LUCLI_HOME=$HOME/.wheels-work
+wheels server start
+
+# Project B (new shell)
+export LUCLI_HOME=$HOME/.wheels-personal
+wheels server start
+```
+
+Each directory gets its own modules, servers, deps, and secrets.

+title: "AI & Completion"
+description: wheels ai and wheels completion — drive Lucee-managed AI providers from the CLI and generate bash or zsh shell completion scripts for the wheels binary.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 5

+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+`wheels ai` and `wheels completion` are two unrelated LuCLI utilities grouped here because neither is part of the day-to-day Wheels inner loop. `ai` is a thin CLI wrapper over Lucee's server-side AI engines (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other OpenAI-compatible providers) that lets you configure endpoints, run one-shot prompts, and manage reusable "skills" from your shell. `completion` emits a shell-completion script you install once so `wheels <TAB>` completes subcommands and flags.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Registering AI provider credentials in the local Lucee server and running ad-hoc prompts or skills from the CLI.
+- Installing bash or zsh completion so `wheels`, `wheels server`, `wheels generate` and friends auto-complete.
+
+## `wheels ai`
+
+Drive Lucee-managed AI endpoints from the CLI. LuCLI stores only lightweight local defaults (default endpoint, default model, skill search paths) in `~/.lucli/ai/`. The endpoint credentials themselves live in the Lucee server's `CFConfig.json` — `wheels ai config add` writes to that file on your behalf.
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels ai <subcommand> [flags]
+```
+
+Calling `wheels ai` without a subcommand prints the help summary and exits.
+
+### Subcommands
+
+| Subcommand | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `config` (alias `configure`) | Manage LuCLI AI defaults and Lucee endpoint entries. |
+| `prompt` | Run a one-shot prompt against a configured endpoint. |
+| `list` | List AI providers/endpoints configured in Lucee CFConfig. |
+| `test` | Run a lightweight "pong" prompt to verify an endpoint works. |
+| `skill` | Manage reusable AI skill definitions and skill search paths. |
+
+### `ai config defaults`
+
+View or update the LuCLI-local defaults (stored under `~/.lucli/ai/settings.json`). These tell other `ai` subcommands which endpoint and model to use when you don't pass `--endpoint` or `--model` explicitly.
+
+```bash
+wheels ai config defaults [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--default-endpoint=<name>` | Set the default Lucee endpoint name. |
+| `--default-model=<model>` | Set the default model hint used by LuCLI prompt templates. |
+| `--show` | Print current defaults. |
+
+### `ai config add`
+
+Add or update an AI endpoint entry via CFConfig import. Writes to the Lucee server's `CFConfig.json` so the endpoint is reachable from both CLI prompts and Lucee code.
+
+```bash
+wheels ai config add [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--name=<key>` | Endpoint name/key (e.g. `mychatgpt`). |
+| `--type=<type>` | Provider type. One of `openai`, `claude`, `gemini`, `copilot`, `deepseek`, `grok`, `ollama`, `perplexity`, `other`. Default: `openai`. |
+| `--class=<class>` | AI engine class. Defaults by provider type. |
+| `--url=<url>` | Optional custom endpoint URL. |
+| `--secret-key=<value>` | Secret/API key. Supports placeholders like `#env:CHATGPT_SECRET_KEY#`. |
+| `--model=<model>` | Model name (e.g. `gpt-4o`). |
+| `--message=<text>` | System message. Default: `Keep all answers as short as possible`. |
+| `--timeout=<ms>` | Provider timeout in milliseconds. Default: `5000`. |
+| `--default-mode=<mode>` | Default mode for this endpoint entry. Default: `exception`. |
+| `--guided` | Interactive guided setup — walks through the required fields. |
+| `--test-after-save` | Run a lightweight connection test after saving. |
+| `--json` | Print the imported structure as JSON. |
+| `--quiet` | Suppress printing imported config payload (useful for CI). |
+| `--show` | Show full API key values in output (otherwise masked). |
+
+<Aside type="tip" title="Secrets stay out of your shell history">
+Use `#env:VAR#` placeholders instead of passing the raw key on the command line. LuCLI resolves the placeholder at request time against environment variables or the `wheels secrets` store. See [System & Secrets](../system-and-secrets/) for secret storage.
+</Aside>
+
+### `ai config list`
+
+List AI endpoint entries from the Lucee server's CFConfig.
+
+```bash
+wheels ai config list [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |

+| `--json` | Output as JSON. |
+| `--show` | Show full API key values (otherwise masked). |
+
+### `ai list`
+
+Top-level list — same data as `ai config list` but annotated with the current LuCLI default endpoint.
+
+```bash
+wheels ai list [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--name=<name>` | Filter by endpoint/provider name (repeatable). |
+| `--json` | Output as JSON. |
+| `--show` | Show full API key values (otherwise masked). |
+| `--refresh` | Compatibility flag, currently a no-op. |
+
+### `ai prompt`
+
+Run a one-shot prompt against a Lucee-managed endpoint.
+

+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--endpoint=<name>` | Endpoint name. Falls back to the LuCLI default. |
+| `--text=<text>` | Test prompt text. Default: `Respond with the word: pong`. |
+
+### `ai skill`
+
+Manage reusable skill definitions (a skill bundles prompt text, system instructions, model, temperature, and timeout into a single named unit).
+

+# Register an OpenAI endpoint using an env-var placeholder for the key
+wheels ai config add \
+  --name=mychatgpt --type=openai --model=gpt-4o \
+  --secret-key='#env:OPENAI_API_KEY#' \
+  --test-after-save
+
+# Make it the default
+wheels ai config defaults --default-endpoint=mychatgpt --default-model=gpt-4o
+
+# Verify
+wheels ai test
+
+# One-shot prompt
+wheels ai prompt --text="Summarize this file in one line." --text=@README.md
+
+# Estimate tokens and cost without sending
+wheels ai prompt --text=@README.md --estimate \
+  --input-price-per-1m=5 --output-price-per-1m=15
+```
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Requires a running Lucee server">
+`ai prompt` and `ai test` execute against the Lucee runtime, which is why the endpoint configuration lives in `CFConfig.json` rather than a LuCLI-local file. See [Configuration](../../configuration/) for how LuCLI boots its Lucee server.
+</Aside>
+
+## `wheels completion`
+
+Generate a shell completion script for the `wheels` (LuCLI) binary. Picocli's standard bash completion generator is used — the script works in both bash and zsh (via `bashcompinit`).
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Hidden from --help">
+`completion` is marked hidden in LuCLI's top-level help, but it's a stable, publicly supported surface. Call it by name.
+</Aside>
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels completion <bash|zsh|md>
+```
+
+Calling `wheels completion` without a subcommand prints the installation hints and exits zero.
+
+### Subcommands
+
+| Subcommand | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `bash` | Generate a bash completion script to stdout. |
+| `zsh` | Generate a zsh completion script to stdout (bash-style script + `bashcompinit` glue). |
+| `md` | Generate a markdown reference of every LuCLI command and flag. |
+
+Each subcommand writes to stdout and takes no flags. Redirect to a file.
+
+### Supported shells
+
+- **bash** — macOS and Linux.
+- **zsh** — macOS and Linux. The generated script is the bash completion script reused through `bashcompinit`, so your zsh config must load `bashcompinit` (all modern zsh distributions include it).
+- **fish** — not supported.
+- **Windows PowerShell** — not supported.
+
+### Installation
+
+**Bash:**
+
+```bash
+# System-wide (requires sudo)
+wheels completion bash | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/wheels
+
+# Per-user
+wheels completion bash > ~/.wheels-completion.bash
+echo 'source ~/.wheels-completion.bash' >> ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+**Zsh:**
+
+```bash
+wheels completion zsh > ~/.zsh/wheels_completion
+echo 'source ~/.zsh/wheels_completion' >> ~/.zshrc
+```
+
+Open a new shell (or `source ~/.bashrc` / `source ~/.zshrc`) and verify:
+
+```bash
+wheels <TAB>
+```
+
+<Aside type="caution" title="Version-list autocomplete requires lucli">
+The generated script includes dynamic completion for `--version` values that invokes `lucli versions-list` under the hood. The `wheels` binary is a symlink over LuCLI, so this generally works, but if you've aliased `wheels` to a non-LuCLI binary, that portion of completion will fall back to empty.
+</Aside>
+
+### Markdown reference (`completion md`)
+
+Not a shell integration — emits a single markdown document describing every LuCLI command, option, and subcommand. Useful for generating a static reference or feeding documentation pipelines.
+
+```bash
+wheels completion md > docs/command-reference.md
+```
+
+## Common workflows
+
+```bash
+# Quick zsh completion bootstrap
+mkdir -p ~/.zsh && \
+  wheels completion zsh > ~/.zsh/wheels_completion && \
+  echo 'source ~/.zsh/wheels_completion' >> ~/.zshrc
+
+# One-off AI prompt using the default endpoint
+wheels ai prompt --text="Why is my test failing? $(wheels test 2>&1 | tail -40)"
+
+# Swap the active AI endpoint without editing files
+wheels ai config defaults --default-endpoint=claude-sonnet
+```
+
+## Skipped commands
+
+A handful of LuCLI subcommands exist but aren't part of the stable documented surface. They're either experimental or exist to support shell-completion infrastructure:

+- `wheels versions-list` — internal helper that feeds the dynamic version list in the generated completion script. Not intended for direct use.
+- `wheels parrot` — proof-of-concept command.
+- `wheels xml` — experimental XPath utilities.

+title: "CFML Execution"
+description: wheels cfml, wheels run, and wheels repl — three LuCLI commands for executing CFML outside the Wheels application context. Use them for one-off expression evaluation, script files, and an interactive CFML prompt.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+`wheels cfml`, `wheels run`, and `wheels repl` are three LuCLI-level entry points for executing CFML directly. None of them bootstrap a Wheels application — they give you a raw Lucee engine for quick experiments, script files, and interactive exploration. Because they ship with LuCLI itself, the `wheels` binary inherits them whether you installed LuCLI standalone or through the Wheels distribution.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Evaluating a one-off CFML expression from the shell and piping the result elsewhere.
+- Running a reusable `.cfm`, `.cfs`, or `.lucli` script file with arguments.
+- Dropping into an interactive CFML prompt to explore language behavior without a project.
+
+## Overview
+
+These three commands all execute CFML *without* loading your Wheels app — no routes, no models, no ORM, no `config/settings.cfm`. They exist at the LuCLI layer, below the Wheels module. When you need to poke at models, services, or routes with the framework fully wired in, use the project-scoped [`wheels console`](../../wheels-commands/console-and-repl/) instead.
+
+### `wheels cfml`
+
+Execute a CFML expression (or short script fragment) supplied on the command line.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels cfml <expression> [<expression> ...]
+```
+
+All positional arguments are joined with a single space and handed to the Lucee script engine as one expression.
+
+#### Description
+
+`cfml` takes one or more tokens on the command line, joins them, and runs the result through the Lucee script engine. The return value of the expression becomes the command's execution result but is **not** automatically printed to stdout — if you want visible output, wrap the expression in `writeOutput()` or `writeDump()`.
+
+#### Flags
+
+`wheels cfml` takes no command-specific flags. It accepts the global flags inherited from the root `wheels` command (for example, `--verbose`, `--debug`, `--timing`).
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels cfml now()"}
+wheels cfml 'now()'
+```
+
+The expression runs through the Lucee engine and the process exits with code 0. To see the value, emit it explicitly:
+
+```bash
+wheels cfml 'writeOutput(1 + 2)'
+```
+
+Sample output:
+
+```
+3
+```
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Quoting">
+The CFML expression is a single argument from LuCLI's perspective. Your shell still needs to protect parentheses, quotes, and operators — wrap the expression in single quotes whenever it contains anything the shell might interpret (`(`, `)`, `<`, `>`, `|`, `&`, `$`, `*`).
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels run`
+
+Execute a CFML script file (`.cfm`, `.cfs`) or a LuCLI batch script (`.lucli`).
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels run <script> [<arg> ...]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+`run` resolves the script path relative to the current working directory, dispatches on the file extension, and executes the file:
+
+- `.cfm` — executed as a CFML template via the Lucee engine.
+- `.cfs` — executed as a CFML script file via the Lucee engine.
+- `.lucli` — executed as a LuCLI batch script (LuCLI's own scripting DSL, not CFML).
+- `.cfc` — **not supported**. Use a module entry point instead (e.g. `wheels modules run <module>`).
+
+Any trailing arguments after the script path are passed through to the script. The root `wheels` command also accepts a bare script path as a shortcut: `wheels hello.cfm` behaves identically to `wheels run hello.cfm`.
+
+#### Flags
+
+`wheels run` takes no command-specific flags beyond the script path and its arguments. Global flags from the root `wheels` command (`--verbose`, `--debug`, `--timing`) still apply.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels run hello.cfm
+wheels run script.cfs arg1 arg2
+wheels run deploy.lucli
+```
+
+The first invocation executes `hello.cfm` as a CFML template. The second runs `script.cfs` with two trailing arguments (available to the script). The third dispatches to the LuCLI batch runner for a `.lucli` file.
+
+<Aside type="caution" title="Unsupported extensions">
+Any file whose name does not end in `.cfm`, `.cfs`, or `.lucli` is rejected with an error. `run` will not guess the language from content.
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels repl`
+
+Start an interactive CFML read-eval-print loop. No Wheels app, no project context — just a prompt attached to the Lucee engine.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels repl [flags]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+`repl` drops you into a line-edited CFML prompt (`cfml>` by default — the prefix reflects the active LuCLI profile). Each line you enter is handed to the Lucee script engine; non-null results print to the terminal. History persists to `~/.lucli/repl_history` (500 lines) so you can arrow-back through previous expressions across sessions.
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-h, --help` | Show command help and exit. |
+| `-V, --version` | Print LuCLI version and exit. |
+
+`repl` inherits the global flags from the root `wheels` command as well (for example, `--verbose`, `--debug`).
+
+#### Special commands (inside the REPL)
+
+| Input | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| `help` or `?` | Show REPL help. |
+| `exit` or `quit` | Exit the REPL. |
+| `Ctrl+C` | Cancel the current input line. |
+| `Ctrl+D` | Exit the REPL. |
+
+#### Example session
+
+```text
+$ wheels repl
+🚀 CFML REPL - LuCLI 0.3.5
+ℹ  Type CFML expressions to evaluate. Type 'exit' or Ctrl+D to quit.
+
+cfml> 1 + 2
+3
+cfml> dateFormat(now(), 'yyyy-mm-dd')
+2026-04-20
+cfml> exit
+
+👋 Goodbye!
+```
+
+## Three modes compared
+
+| Command | Use when |
+|---|---|
+| `cfml '<expr>'` | One-off expression, pipe-friendly, no interactivity. |
+| `run script.cfm` | Reusable script on disk; accepts trailing arguments. |
+| `repl` | Interactive exploration, multiple expressions, history. |
+
+All three share the same execution surface (the Lucee script engine with no Wheels app bootstrapped). Pick the one that matches how you want to deliver input.
+
+## `cfml` / `run` / `repl` vs `wheels console`
+
+<Aside type="tip" title="Which one should I use?">
+- **`wheels cfml`, `wheels run`, `wheels repl`** — LuCLI-level CFML execution. No Wheels app is loaded. No `model()`, no routes, no filters, no services. Fast to start, ideal for language experiments, one-off scripts, and CFML debugging outside any particular project.
+- **`wheels console`** — Wheels-aware. Boots the framework, wires up models, the DI container, routes, and application settings. Reach for it when you need to inspect real data or drive the application interactively. See [Console & REPL](../../wheels-commands/console-and-repl/).
+
+If your question is about CFML the language, stay here. If your question is about your app's behavior, switch to `wheels console`.

+title: "Modules & Deps"
+description: wheels modules and wheels deps — two LuCLI command groups. modules manages LuCLI's plugin registry (the wheels binary itself is a module); deps manages per-project CFML, extension, Java, and ForgeBox dependencies declared in lucee.json.
+type: reference
+sidebar:

+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+`wheels modules` and `wheels deps` are two LuCLI command groups that sit side-by-side but serve very different purposes. `modules` manages LuCLI's own plugin registry — the mechanism that adds commands to the CLI itself (wheels is registered this way). `deps` manages the dependencies of whatever project you're standing in — the CFML modules, Lucee extensions, and ForgeBox packages declared in its `lucee.json`.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Installing, updating, and listing LuCLI modules that extend the CLI itself.
+- Adding and installing per-project dependencies declared in `lucee.json`.
+- Understanding how the `wheels` command group is registered as a LuCLI module.
+
+## Overview
+
+The two surfaces are easy to confuse because both talk about "installing things." Keep the distinction in mind:
+
+- **Modules** are LuCLI plugins. They live in the CLI's home directory (`~/.wheels/modules/` for the `wheels` binary, `~/.lucli/modules/` for standalone LuCLI). Each module is a `Module.cfc` that registers new top-level commands. `wheels modules list` shows what's registered.
+- **Deps** are per-project CFML libraries. They live in your project's `lucee.json` file and, once installed, under the project's `lib/` (or configured install path). They can come from git, the Lucee extension registry, ForgeBox, or a local file/JAR.
+
+Modules affect the CLI; deps affect the app you're building with it. The same project can use both independently.
+
+## `wheels modules`
+
+Manage the LuCLI module registry. Aliased as `wheels module` (singular).
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules <subcommand> [flags]
+```
+
+Calling `wheels modules` with no subcommand prints help and exits. The subcommands are `list`, `init`, `run`, `add`, `install`, `uninstall`, `update`, and `help`.
+
+### `list`
+
+Print every module installed under the active profile's modules directory, alongside modules known from the bundled repository index.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules list
+```
+
+Takes no flags. Output is a table with `NAME`, `INSTALLED`, `STATUS`, `VERSION`, and `DESCRIPTION` columns, plus the resolved modules directory at the top so you can see exactly where LuCLI is looking.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels modules list"}
+wheels modules list
+```
+
+Sample output:
+
+```
+Wheels Modules
+Module directory: /Users/you/.wheels/modules
+
+NAME       INSTALLED   STATUS   VERSION   DESCRIPTION
+wheels     yes         ok       4.0.0     Wheels framework CLI module
+```
+
+### `install`
+
+Install a module from the bundled repository index (by name) or directly from a git URL.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules install [MODULE_NAME] [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-u, --url=<url>` | Git URL to install from (e.g. `https://github.com/user/repo.git[#ref]`). |
+| `-r, --ref, --rev=<ref>` | Git ref to install — a branch, tag, or commit SHA. |
+| `-n, --name=<alias>` | Install alias/name to use locally (overrides `module.json` name). |
+| `-f, --force` | Overwrite an existing module of the same name; also auto-approves module permissions. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels modules install my-module --url=https://github.com/acme/my-module.git --ref=main
+```
+
+### `add`
+
+Alias for `install` with an explicit focus on `--ref`. Takes the same arguments and flags as `install`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules add [MODULE_NAME] [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-u, --url=<url>` | Git URL to add from. |
+| `-r, --ref, --rev=<ref>` | Git ref to install. |
+| `-n, --name=<alias>` | Install alias/name to use locally. |
+| `-f, --force` | Overwrite existing module if it already exists; also auto-approves module permissions. |
+
+### `update`
+
+Update a previously-installed git-sourced module to a newer ref.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules update <MODULE_NAME> [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-u, --url=<url>` | Git URL to update from. |
+| `-r, --ref, --rev=<ref>` | Git ref to update to. |
+| `-f, --force` | Auto-approve module permissions (useful for non-interactive runs). |
+
+### `uninstall`
+
+Remove an installed module by deleting its directory under the active profile's modules directory.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules uninstall <MODULE_NAME>
+```
+
+Takes no flags beyond the required module name.
+
+### `init`
+
+Scaffold a new module in the active profile's modules directory. Creates the directory, a starter `Module.cfc`, a `module.json` manifest, and a `README.md`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules init [MODULE_NAME] [flags]
+```
+
+If you omit `MODULE_NAME`, `init` prompts for one interactively.
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--git` | Initialize a git repository in the new module directory. |
+| `--no-git` | Do not initialize git and do not prompt. |
+
+### `run`
+
+Invoke a module's `Module.cfc` directly with arguments, bypassing the normal top-level subcommand routing. Useful for testing modules during development.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules run <MODULE_NAME> [ARGS...] [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-h, --help` | Show the module's own help output (invokes its `showHelp` entry point). |
+
+Any unmatched trailing arguments are forwarded verbatim to the module.
+
+### `help`
+
+Print help for a module or a specific command within a module.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels modules help --module=<MODULE_NAME> [--command=<COMMAND>]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-m, --module=<name>` | Module to show help for (required). |
+| `-c, --command=<name>` | Specific command within that module. |
+
+## `wheels deps`
+
+Manage per-project dependencies declared in `lucee.json`. Aliased as `wheels dependencies`.
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels deps <subcommand> [flags]
+```
+
+Calling `wheels deps` with no subcommand prints help and exits. The subcommands are `install`, `add`, and `prune`.
+
+`wheels deps` reads and writes `lucee.json` — specifically the `dependencies` and `devDependencies` blocks — and maintains a `lucee-lock.json` lock file alongside it when `dependencySettings.useLockFile` is enabled.
+
+### `install`
+
+Read `lucee.json`, resolve every dependency, and install supported sources (git, Lucee extensions, ForgeBox) into the project. Writes `lucee-lock.json` on success unless the lock file is disabled.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels deps install [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--env=<env>` | Environment to apply (e.g. `prod`, `dev`, `staging`) — merges that environment's overrides on top of the base config. |
+| `--production` | Install only `dependencies`, skipping `devDependencies`. |
+| `--force` | Reinstall every dependency even if it already matches the lock file. |
+| `--dry-run` | Show what would be installed without writing anything. |
+| `--include-nested-deps` | In `--dry-run`, also introspect nested projects found under already-installed dependencies and show what they would install. |
+
+Unsupported sources (currently anything other than git, extension, or ForgeBox) are skipped with a warning.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels deps install
+wheels deps install --dry-run --include-nested-deps
+wheels deps install --env=prod --production
+```
+
+### `add`
+
+Interactive wizard that appends a new dependency to `lucee.json`. Walks you through picking the scope (`dependencies` vs `devDependencies`), the kind of dependency (CFML/git, Lucee extension, Java/Maven, or raw JAR/file), and every required field for that kind.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels deps add
+```
+
+Takes no flags. The wizard handles everything interactively. For CFML/git deps it suggests modules from the bundled registry; for Lucee extensions it offers an interactive list from the Lucee extension registry including version selection.
+
+### `prune`
+
+Remove cached git dependency clones under LuCLI's git cache directory (e.g. `~/.wheels/deps/git-cache/`). The next `install` will re-clone on demand.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels deps prune
+```
+
+Takes no flags. Prints the cache path, then deletes it.
+
+<Aside type="caution" title="Prune wipes the whole git cache">
+`prune` deletes every cloned git dependency in LuCLI's cache directory, not just unused ones. It does not touch your project's installed `lib/` — only the shared clone cache that `deps install` pulls from. Run it when you want to force clean re-clones.
+</Aside>
+
+## How wheels is registered
+
+The `wheels` command group — every subcommand you see when you run `wheels --help` — is itself a LuCLI module. It lives at `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` within the wheels framework repository and is wired into the CLI via the LuCLI module registry.
+
+At runtime, LuCLI scans `<home>/modules/*/Module.cfc` for modules to load, where `<home>` depends on the binary you invoked:
+
+- `~/.wheels/modules/` when the binary is `wheels` (the Wheels distribution).
+- `~/.lucli/modules/` when the binary is the standalone `lucli`.
+
+When you install Wheels via Homebrew, the Wheels module is already registered under `~/.wheels/modules/wheels/`, which is why `wheels modules list` shows it as `installed`. That single module registration is what makes `wheels generate`, `wheels migrate`, `wheels test`, and the rest of the Wheels surface available.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Modules are LuCLI plugins, not Wheels packages">
+Don't confuse LuCLI modules with Wheels packages. Wheels packages (`packages/` → `vendor/`) are optional first-party framework modules that live *inside* a Wheels project — things like `wheels-sentry` and `wheels-hotwire`. LuCLI modules live *outside* any project, in LuCLI's home directory, and add commands to the CLI. They're fundamentally different mechanisms; this page covers only the CLI-level one.
+</Aside>
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Install a LuCLI module
+
+```bash
+wheels modules install my-module --url=https://github.com/acme/my-module.git --ref=v1.0.0
+wheels modules list
+```
+
+The first command clones the repo into `~/.wheels/modules/my-module/` and registers it; the second verifies it's there. After this, `wheels my-module <whatever>` will route to the module's commands.
+
+### Add a dep to the current project
+
+```bash
+wheels deps add
+wheels deps install
+```
+
+`add` walks you through the interactive wizard and writes the new entry into `lucee.json`. `install` then resolves every dependency in that file (including the one you just added) and drops them under the project's `lib/` directory, updating `lucee-lock.json` at the end.
+
+### Prune removed deps
+
+```bash
+wheels deps prune
+wheels deps install --force
+```
+
+`prune` clears the git clone cache. `install --force` re-fetches every git-sourced dependency fresh. Reach for this when a cached clone has gone stale or you want to verify a clean install.

+
+`wheels server` is LuCLI's server management command group. It boots and controls real Lucee server instances — one or many, each with its own name, port, Lucee version, and configuration. The `wheels` binary inherits this surface directly from LuCLI, so every subcommand is available whether you installed LuCLI standalone or pulled it in through the Wheels distribution.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Managing multiple named server instances side-by-side (e.g. one per project, one per Lucee version).
+- Pinning an explicit Lucee version for reproducible local runs.
+- Tailing server, access, or error logs without hunting through `~/.lucli/servers/<name>/logs`.
+- Inspecting the running state of every server on your machine from one place.
+
+## Overview
+
+`wheels server` comes from LuCLI itself — it is not part of the Wheels module. The project-centric commands you use daily (`wheels start`, `wheels stop`) are thin wrappers that forward to `wheels server start` and `wheels server stop` scoped to the current project directory. Drop down to `wheels server` directly when you need advanced control: naming, multi-instance management, explicit version pinning, or log inspection. For the typical inner-loop flow, see the project wrapper at [`Dev Server`](../../wheels-commands/dev-server/).
+
+<Aside type="note" title="`servers` is an alias">
+`wheels servers` and `wheels server` are the same command. Use whichever reads better for you.
+</Aside>
+
+## Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels server <subcommand> [flags]
+```
+
+Calling `wheels server` without a subcommand prints the help summary and exits.
+
+### `start`
+
+Boot a Lucee server instance in the background for the current (or specified) project directory.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels server start [PROJECT_DIR] [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-v, --version=<version>` | Lucee version to use (e.g. `6.2.2.91`). |
+| `-n, --name=<name>` | Custom name for the server instance. |
+| `-p, --port=<port>` | Port number for the server (e.g. `8080`). |
+| `-f, --force` | Force replace an existing server with the same name. |
+| `-c, --config=<file>` | Configuration file to use (defaults to `lucee.json`). |
+| `--env, --environment=<env>` | Environment to use (e.g. `dev`, `staging`, `prod`). |
+| `--dry-run` | Show the resolved configuration without starting the server. |
+| `--create-config` | Generate server configuration and exit without starting the server. |

+## Common workflows
+
+Three recipes you'll reach for often.
+
+### Start with a pinned version and a name
+
+```bash
+wheels server start --name=dev --version=6.0.1.103
+```
+
+Boots a background server named `dev` on Lucee `6.0.1.103`. The name makes it addressable from every other subcommand (`status --name=dev`, `log --name=dev`, `stop --name=dev`).
+
+### Tail logs for an active server
+
+```bash
+wheels server log --name=dev --follow
+```
+
+Streams the server log until you `Ctrl+C`. Add `--type=error` for just the error log or `--type=access` for request logging.
+
+### Inventory and shut down
+
+```bash
+wheels server list
+wheels server stop --name=dev
+```
+
+`list` prints every known server and its state. Pick the name you want and stop it — or use `wheels server stop --all` to take every running server down at once.
+
+## `wheels server` vs `wheels start`
+
+<Aside type="tip" title="Which one should I use?">
+- **`wheels start`** — Wheels project wrapper. Auto-scoped to the current project's `lucee.json`, minimal ceremony, exactly what you want for the day-to-day dev loop. See [Dev Server](../../wheels-commands/dev-server/).
+- **`wheels server start`** — LuCLI native. Full control over naming, version pinning, environments, and multi-instance layout. Reach for this when you need named servers, multiple Lucee versions running at once, or cross-project administration (e.g. `list`, `prune`, `monitor`).
+
+Under the hood `wheels start` just forwards to `wheels server start` inside the project directory, so any flag you can pass here works there too.

+title: "System & Secrets"
+description: wheels system, wheels secrets, and wheels daemon — three LuCLI infrastructure commands for inspecting LuCLI state, managing credentials, and running the CLI as a long-lived background process.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+`wheels system`, `wheels secrets`, and `wheels daemon` are three LuCLI-level infrastructure commands grouped together here because you touch them occasionally rather than daily. They all sit below the Wheels module — the `wheels` binary inherits them directly from LuCLI whether you installed LuCLI standalone or through the Wheels distribution.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Inspecting where LuCLI stores state on disk and cleaning caches or backups.
+- Storing API keys, database passwords, and other credentials in an encrypted local vault.
+- Running LuCLI as a long-lived daemon for IDE integration or Language Server Protocol endpoints.
+
+## Overview
+
+All three surfaces are utilities rather than inner-loop tools. `system` answers "where does LuCLI put things and how do I reset that state safely?" `secrets` answers "how do I hand my scripts an API key without committing it to source control?" `daemon` answers "how do I keep a Lucee runtime hot across many tool invocations?" You can ignore them completely for day-to-day Wheels work and return when the specific need arises.
+
+## `wheels system`
+
+State introspection and maintenance for LuCLI's home directory (`~/.lucli` by default).
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels system <subcommand> [flags]
+```
+
+Calling `wheels system` without a subcommand prints the help summary and exits.
+
+### `inspect`
+
+Inspect LuCLI-managed state artifacts. Currently supports printing the resolved Lucee `CFConfig.json` in a readable format.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels system inspect [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--lucee` | Print Lucee `CFConfig.json` in a readable (pretty-printed) format. |
+| `--path=<path>` | Optional path to `.CFConfig.json` (defaults to the LuCLI home location, `~/.lucli/lucee-server/context/.CFConfig.json`). |
+
+Without `--lucee`, `inspect` prints its own usage and exits zero.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels system inspect --lucee
+```
+
+### `paths`
+
+Print the set of directories and files LuCLI resolves under your home directory. This is the first thing to run when you're unsure where LuCLI put something.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels system paths [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--json` | Output as pretty-printed JSON. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels system paths
+```
+
+Sample output:
+
+```
+LuCLI resolved paths:
+  home: /Users/you/.lucli
+  homeSource: default
+  serversDir: /Users/you/.lucli/servers
+  expressDir: /Users/you/.lucli/express
+  depsDir: /Users/you/.lucli/deps
+  depsGitCacheDir: /Users/you/.lucli/deps/git-cache
+  modulesDir: /Users/you/.lucli/modules
+  backupsDir: /Users/you/.lucli/backups
+  secretsDir: /Users/you/.lucli/secrets
+  secretsStoreFile: /Users/you/.lucli/secrets/local.json
+  aiDir: /Users/you/.lucli/ai
+  aiSettingsFile: /Users/you/.lucli/ai/settings.json
+  aiEndpointsFile: /Users/you/.lucli/ai/settings.json
+  aiSkillsFile: /Users/you/.lucli/ai/skills.json
+  aiSkillPathsFile: /Users/you/.lucli/ai/skill-paths.json
+  settingsFile: /Users/you/.lucli/settings.json
+```
+
+### `clean`
+
+Prune cache and backup artifacts. **Runs in dry-run mode by default** — no files are deleted unless you pass `--force`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels system clean [flags]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--caches` | Clean cache targets. |
+| `--backups` | Clean backup targets. |
+| `--all` | Clean every known safe target (caches and backups). |
+| `-f, --force` | Apply deletions (without this, `clean` only previews). |
+| `--older-than=<duration>` | Backup retention window when cleaning backups. Accepts `30d`, `12h`, `90m`. Default: `30d`. |
+
+When you pass no target flags, `clean` defaults to both caches and backups.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+# Preview what would be removed
+wheels system clean --all
+
+# Apply it
+wheels system clean --all --force
+```
+
+### `backup`
+
+Create, list, verify, prune, and restore archives of LuCLI home. Each backup is a `.zip` plus an adjacent `.sha256` checksum file under `backupsDir`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels system backup <subcommand> [flags]
+```
+
+#### `backup create`
+
+Create a new backup archive.
+
+```bash
+wheels system backup create [flags]

+| `--exclude-caches` | Skip cache directories in the archive. |
+| `--include-backups` | Include the existing `backups` directory contents (off by default, avoids recursion). |
+| `--progress` | Print each file as it is added (verbose). Without this flag, a compact progress bar is shown. |
+

+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `[BACKUP]` | Backup name or path (defaults to the latest backup). |
+| `--all` | Verify every backup archive. |
+
+#### `backup prune`
+
+Delete old backups by age and retention count. **Dry-run by default** — pass `--force` to apply.
+
+```bash
+wheels system backup prune [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--older-than=<duration>` | Age threshold (e.g. `30d`, `12h`, `90m`). Default: `30d`. |
+| `--keep=<count>` | Keep at least this many newest backups regardless of age. Default: `10`. |
+| `-f, --force` | Apply deletions (without this, `prune` only previews). |
+
+#### `backup restore`
+
+Restore a backup archive to a destination directory. **Dry-run by default** and verifies the checksum unless you override.
+
+```bash
+wheels system backup restore [BACKUP] [flags]
+```
+

+| `-f, --force` | Apply the restore (without this, `restore` only previews). |
+| `--skip-verify` | Skip the pre-restore checksum verification. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+# Create a backup excluding caches
+wheels system backup create --name=before-upgrade --exclude-caches
+
+# Verify every backup on disk
+wheels system backup verify --all
+
+# Preview a prune run
+wheels system backup prune --older-than=14d --keep=5
+
+# Apply the prune
+wheels system backup prune --older-than=14d --keep=5 --force
+```
+
+## `wheels secrets`
+
+Manage secrets (API keys, database passwords, service tokens) for LuCLI projects. The default provider is a local, passphrase-encrypted JSON store at `~/.lucli/secrets/local.json`. Other providers resolved through Lucee's `SecretProviderGet` surface are also supported — set them with `secrets provider use`.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Alias">
+`wheels secret` and `wheels secrets` are the same command.
+</Aside>
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels secrets <subcommand> [flags]
+```
+
+### `init`
+
+Initialize the local encrypted secret store. Prompts twice for a passphrase and persists the empty store.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels secrets init [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--reset` | Re-initialize the store. **DANGEROUS** — deletes all existing secrets. |
+
+### `set`
+
+Store or update a secret under a logical name. The value is read from the terminal without echoing.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels secrets set NAME [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--description=<text>` | Human-readable description stored alongside the secret. |
+
+Only the `local` provider supports writes from `wheels secrets set`; other providers return an error telling you to switch with `secrets provider use local`.
+
+### `get`
+
+Retrieve a secret value. By default, `get` refuses to print the raw value — you must opt in with `--show`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels secrets get NAME [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--show` | Print the secret value to stdout. Use with care — shells and terminals may log it. |
+
+When the selected provider is not `local`, `get --show` resolves the value via Lucee's `SecretProviderGet`.
+
+### `list`
+
+List stored secrets (names and descriptions only — values are never printed).
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels secrets list
+```
+
+Only supported for the local provider.
+
+### `rm`
+
+Remove a stored secret. Prompts for confirmation unless `-f` is given.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels secrets rm NAME [flags]
+```
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-f` | Skip the confirmation prompt. |
+
+Only supported for the local provider.
+
+### `provider list` / `provider use` / `provider current`
+
+Inspect or switch the active secret provider. The selection is persisted in `~/.lucli/settings.json`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels secrets provider list
+wheels secrets provider use NAME
+wheels secrets provider current
+```
+
+### Security notes
+
+<Aside type="caution" title="Passphrase source and scope">
+- The local store is encrypted with the passphrase you supply at `init`. Lose the passphrase and the stored secrets are **unrecoverable** — there is no escrow or reset that preserves values.
+- You can preset the passphrase out-of-band by setting the `LUCLI_SECRETS_PASSPHRASE` environment variable. Without that, LuCLI prompts interactively and will refuse to operate if no console is attached.
+- LuCLI does **not** integrate with the macOS Keychain, GNOME Keyring, or Windows Credential Manager directly. Use the `provider` surface to select a Lucee-level provider if you want OS-integrated storage.
+- `secrets list` never prints values, and `secrets get` refuses to print raw values without `--show`. Treat `--show` as you would `printf $SECRET` — anything that sees your terminal output sees the secret.
+</Aside>
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+# First-time setup
+wheels secrets init
+
+# Store a secret
+wheels secrets set STRIPE_API_KEY --description="Production Stripe key"
+
+# List stored secrets (names only)
+wheels secrets list
+
+# Fetch it when you really mean to see it
+wheels secrets get STRIPE_API_KEY --show
+```
+
+## `wheels daemon`
+
+Run LuCLI as a long-lived background process. Useful when something external — an IDE, a test harness, an editor plugin — wants to hand LuCLI a stream of commands without paying JVM startup on every call. Two server modes plus an interactive client mode are supported.
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels daemon [flags]
+```
+

+| `--port=<port>` | TCP port to listen on (server modes) or connect to (client mode). Default: `10000`. |
+| `--lsp` | Run in Language Server Protocol mode instead of the default JSON line mode. |
+| `--module=<name>` | CFML module to dispatch LSP messages to. Default: `LuceeLSP`. Must exist under `~/.lucli/modules`. |
+| `--client` | Connect to a running daemon as an interactive client instead of starting a server. |
+| `--raw` | In client mode, print the raw JSON response packet from the daemon instead of just the `output` field. |
+
+The daemon binds to `127.0.0.1` only — it is not reachable from other hosts.
+
+### Modes
+
+**JSON mode (default).** One JSON request per connection. The client sends `{"argv":["modules","list"],"id":"<uuid>"}`, the daemon runs the equivalent of `lucli modules list` through its Picocli pipeline, captures stdout/stderr, and replies with `{"id":"<uuid>","exitCode":0,"output":"..."}`. Single-threaded: one connection at a time.
+
+**LSP mode (`--lsp`).** Speaks the Language Server Protocol framing (`Content-Length` header + JSON body) and dispatches each message to the named CFML module's `main(string message)` entry point. Returning a non-empty string from the module sends a reply; returning null (e.g. for LSP notifications) sends nothing. The module must already exist under `~/.lucli/modules` — use `lucli modules init <name>` to scaffold one.
+
+**Client mode (`--client`).** Connects to a running daemon on the given port and gives you a `lucli>` prompt. Each line is tokenized on whitespace into `argv` and sent as a JSON request. Type `exit` or `quit` to disconnect.
+
+### Examples
+
+Start the default JSON daemon on the default port:
+
+```bash
+wheels daemon
+```
+
+Start it on a specific port:
+
+```bash
+wheels daemon --port=12345
+```
+
+Start an LSP daemon backed by a CFML module:
+
+```bash
+wheels daemon --lsp --module=LuceeLSP --port=10001
+```
+
+Drive a running daemon interactively from another terminal:
+
+```bash
+wheels daemon --client --port=12345
+```
+
+### Use cases
+
+- **IDE integration** — an editor plugin hands LuCLI commands to the JSON daemon and parses structured responses instead of shelling out per command.
+- **Custom Language Server** — ship a CFML module that implements LSP methods (`initialize`, `textDocument/didOpen`, etc.) and expose it over TCP with `--lsp`.
+- **Long-running orchestration** — test runners or build scripts that invoke many LuCLI commands back-to-back avoid JVM warmup on every call.
+
+## When to use each
+
+| Command | Reach for it when… |
+|---|---|
+| `wheels system` | You need to know where LuCLI put a file, free disk space, or roll back a bad upgrade with `backup restore`. |
+| `wheels secrets` | You want to store API keys or DB passwords outside of source control and have scripts or Lucee code look them up. |
+| `wheels daemon` | An IDE, editor plugin, or long-running tool wants to drive LuCLI without paying JVM startup per call. |

-# Development Workflow Commands
-
-This guide covers the Wheels CLI commands designed to enhance your development workflow, including framework upgrades, performance testing, and documentation generation.
-
-## Table of Contents
-
-- [Framework Initialization](#framework-initialization)
-- [Framework Upgrades](#framework-upgrades)
-- [Performance Testing](#performance-testing)
-- [Documentation Generation](#documentation-generation)
-- [Best Practices](#best-practices)
-
-## Framework Initialization
-
-The `wheels init` command helps bootstrap existing Wheels applications to work with the CLI.
-
-### When to Use
-
-Use this command when you have:
-- An existing Wheels application without CLI integration
-- A project cloned from version control missing configuration files
-- A need to reset CLI configuration files
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```bash
-# Initialize in current directory
-wheels init
-
-# Initialize with custom application name
-wheels init name=myapp
-
-# Force overwrite existing files
-wheels init --force
-```
-
-### What It Does
-
-The command creates three essential files:
-
-1. **vendor/wheels/box.json** - Tracks the Wheels framework version
-2. **server.json** - CommandBox server configuration with Wheels-specific settings
-3. **box.json** - Application package configuration
-
-### Interactive Prompts
-
-When you run `wheels init`, it will ask for:
-
-- **Application Name**: Used for unique server naming (special characters are removed)
-- **Default CFML Engine**: Your preference (e.g., lucee5, adobe2023)
-
-### Example
-
-```bash
-$ wheels init
-======================================
-Wheels CLI v3.1.0
-======================================
-You don't have a box.json. Let's create one
-
-Application name: My Awesome App
-We'll use: myawesomeapp for the server name
-
-What's your preferred CFML Engine [lucee5]: lucee5
-
-✓ Created vendor/wheels/box.json
-✓ Created server.json
-✓ Created box.json
-
-Your application is now configured for the Wheels CLI!
-```
-
-## Framework Upgrades
-
-The `wheels upgrade` command provides an interactive wizard for upgrading your Wheels framework version.
-
-### Checking for Updates
-
-```bash
-# Check if updates are available
-wheels upgrade --check
-
-# Output:
-# Current Wheels version: 3.1.0
-# Upgrade available: 3.1.0
-# Run 'wheels upgrade' to start the upgrade process.
-```
-
-### Interactive Upgrade
-
-```bash
-# Start the upgrade wizard
-wheels upgrade
-
-# The wizard will:
-# 1. Show available versions
-# 2. Let you select target version
-# 3. Check for breaking changes
-# 4. Show upgrade steps
-# 5. Create backup (optional)
-# 6. Perform the upgrade
-```
-
-### Direct Upgrade
-
-```bash
-# Upgrade to specific version
-wheels upgrade --to=3.1.0
-
-# Skip all confirmations
-wheels upgrade --to=3.1.0 --force
-
-# Upgrade without creating backup
-wheels upgrade --backup=false
-```
-
-### Breaking Changes Detection
-
-The upgrade command automatically detects potential breaking changes:
-
-```
-⚠️  Breaking Changes Detected:
-  • Major version upgrade - review changelog for breaking changes
-  • Wheels 3.x uses CommandBox modules
-  • New routing engine with different syntax
-  • Updated model callback names
-```
-
-### Backup Management
-
-By default, upgrades create a backup in `backups/upgrade-[timestamp]/` containing:
-- `/app` directory
-- `/config` directory
-- `/vendor/wheels` directory
-- `box.json` and `server.json`
-- `.env` files
-
-### Post-Upgrade Steps
-
-After a successful upgrade:
-
-1. Run your test suite: `wheels test run`
-2. Check the upgrade guide at <https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/introduction/upgrading>
-3. Review deprecated features
-4. Update your plugins to compatible versions
-
-## Performance Testing
-
-### Benchmarking with `wheels benchmark`
-
-The benchmark command performs load testing on your application endpoints.
-
-#### Basic Benchmarking
-
-```bash
-# Benchmark homepage
-wheels benchmark /
-
-# Benchmark with more requests
-wheels benchmark /products --requests=1000 --concurrent=10
-```
-
-#### Advanced Options
-
-```bash
-# POST request with data
-wheels benchmark /api/users \
-  --method=POST \
-  --data='{"name":"test","email":"test@example.com"}' \
-  --headers="Content-Type:application/json"
-
-# Custom timeout
-wheels benchmark /slow-endpoint --timeout=60
-
-# Save results
-wheels benchmark / --output=json --save=benchmark-results.json
-```
-
-#### Using Configuration Files
-
-Create a `benchmark.json` file:
-
-```json
-{
-  "scenarios": [
-    {
-      "name": "Homepage",
-      "url": "/",
-      "requests": 1000,
-      "concurrent": 10
-    },
-    {
-      "name": "API Create User",
-      "url": "/api/users",
-      "method": "POST",
-      "headers": {
-        "Content-Type": "application/json",
-        "Authorization": "Bearer token123"
-      },
-      "data": "{\"name\":\"Test User\"}",
-      "requests": 500,
-      "concurrent": 5
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Run all scenarios:
-
-```bash
-wheels benchmark --config=benchmark.json
-```
-

-```
-
-## Documentation Generation
-
-The `wheels docs` commands help manage and generate documentation for your application.
-
-### Opening Documentation
-
-```bash
-# Open Wheels framework documentation
-wheels docs
-
-# This opens the official Wheels documentation in your browser
-```
-
-### Generating API Documentation
-
-```bash
-# Generate documentation for all components
-wheels docs:generate
-
-# Generate with specific format
-wheels docs:generate --format=html
-wheels docs:generate --format=markdown
-wheels docs:generate --format=json
-```
-
-### Customization Options
-
-```bash
-# Use Bootstrap template
-wheels docs:generate --format=html --template=bootstrap
-
-# Generate for specific components only
-wheels docs:generate --type=models
-wheels docs:generate --type=controllers,services
-
-# Verbose output
-wheels docs:generate --verbose
-
-# Serve documentation after generation
-wheels docs:generate --serve --port=8080
-```
-
-### Output Structure
-
-Generated documentation includes:
-
-1. **Component Documentation**
-   - Properties with types and hints
-   - Methods with parameters and return types
-   - Inheritance hierarchy
-   - Usage examples from hints
-
-2. **Navigation**
-   - Organized by component type
-   - Searchable index
-   - Cross-references
-
-3. **Formats**
-   - **HTML**: Full styling with syntax highlighting
-   - **Markdown**: GitHub-compatible format
-   - **JSON**: Raw metadata for custom processing
-
-### Example HTML Output
-
-The HTML documentation includes:
-- Syntax highlighted code examples
-- Collapsible sections for methods
-- Parameter tables
-- Return type information
-- Property listings
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Regular Framework Updates
-
-```bash
-# Check for updates monthly
-wheels upgrade --check
-
-# Test upgrades in development first
-wheels upgrade --to=3.1.0
-wheels test run
-```
-
-### 2. Performance Monitoring
-
-```bash
-# Benchmark after significant changes
-wheels benchmark / --save=baseline.json
-
-# Profile slow pages
-wheels profile /slow-page --iterations=10
-```
-
-### 3. Documentation Maintenance
-
-```bash
-# Regenerate docs after API changes
-wheels docs:generate --format=markdown
-
-# Commit generated docs to repository
-git add docs/api/
-git commit -m "Update API documentation"
-```
-
-### 4. Continuous Integration
-
-Add these commands to your CI pipeline:
-
-```yaml
-# .github/workflows/ci.yml
-- name: Check for framework updates
-  run: wheels upgrade --check
-
-- name: Run benchmarks
-  run: wheels benchmark --config=ci-benchmark.json
-
-- name: Generate documentation
-  run: wheels docs:generate --format=markdown
-```
-
-### 5. Team Workflows
-
-For team development:
-
-```bash
-# After cloning a repository
-git clone https://github.com/team/project
-cd project
-wheels init --force
-box install
-wheels db setup
-
-# Before committing
-wheels profile /new-feature
-wheels docs:generate
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Init Command Issues
-
-**Problem**: "Directory already has box.json"
-```bash
-# Solution: Use force flag
-wheels init --force
-```
-
-**Problem**: "Cannot determine Wheels version"
-```bash
-# Solution: Ensure /vendor/wheels exists
-box install
-wheels init
-```
-
-### Upgrade Command Issues
-
-**Problem**: "Backup failed"
-```bash
-# Solution: Check disk space and permissions
-# Or skip backup
-wheels upgrade --backup=false
-```
-
-**Problem**: "Version not found"
-```bash
-# Solution: Check available versions
-wheels upgrade --check
-```
-
-### Benchmark/Profile Issues
-
-**Problem**: "Server not running"
-```bash
-# Solution: Start server first
-server start
-wheels benchmark /
-```
-
-**Problem**: "Timeout errors"
-```bash
-# Solution: Increase timeout
-wheels benchmark / --timeout=120
-wheels profile / --timeout=120
-```
-
-## Summary
-
-The development workflow commands enhance your Wheels development experience by providing:
-
-- Easy CLI integration for existing projects

+title: CLI Reference
+description: The wheels binary — two command surfaces (LuCLI core + Wheels Module) in one install.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+
+import { CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+The `wheels` binary is the single entry point for everything you do with a Wheels app from the terminal — scaffolding a new project, generating code, running migrations, running tests, starting the dev server, inspecting routes, driving the REPL. One install, one name on your `$PATH`.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Creating a new Wheels project and scaffolding models, controllers, views, and migrations.
+- Your daily dev loop — `wheels generate`, `wheels migrate`, `wheels test`, `wheels server` — without leaving the shell.
+- Inspecting and diagnosing an app you didn't write — routes, stats, dependency checks, and the built-in REPL.
+
+## Two surfaces in one command
+
+The v4 `wheels` binary is [LuCLI](https://github.com/lucee/LuCLI) renamed, with a Wheels Module bolted on. LuCLI is a general-purpose CFML command runner — it provides the server lifecycle, REPL, CFML execution, system and secrets helpers, module and dependency management, AI helpers, and shell completion. The Wheels Module adds the framework-specific commands — `generate`, `migrate`, `seed`, `test`, `routes`, `console`, and the rest. Both surfaces dispatch from the same binary:
+
+- `wheels generate model User` — Wheels Module command.
+- `wheels server start` — LuCLI core command.
+
+You don't install them separately, and you don't switch contexts between them. Everything below is namespaced by which surface it comes from so you know where a given feature lives, but from your terminal it's all `wheels <subcommand>`.

+
+## MCP integration
+
+The `wheels` binary exposes its commands as MCP tools so an AI agent can drive the same operations you run from the terminal. `wheels mcp wheels` is the canonical stdio surface — auto-discovered from `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` and usable from any MCP-aware client. A handful of CLI-only commands (`start`, `stop`, `new`, `console`, `browser`, `d`, and the `mcp` meta command itself) are hidden from the MCP tool list because their semantics don't translate to a single tool call. A legacy HTTP endpoint at `/wheels/mcp` still exists for backward compatibility but is deprecated — prefer the stdio surface for new integrations. See [MCP Integration](./mcp-integration/) for setup, the full tool catalog, and the deprecation timeline.

+title: Installation
+description: Install the wheels binary via Homebrew, Chocolatey, or a manual JAR download, and verify your setup.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+The `wheels` binary is distributed through three channels: Homebrew for macOS and Linux, Chocolatey for Windows, and a direct JAR download for anyone who wants to wire it up by hand. Each channel installs the same two artifacts — the LuCLI launcher and the Wheels Module that ships the framework commands.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- First-time setup on a new machine.
+- Verifying that `wheels --version` runs before you start work.
+- Upgrading the CLI when a new LuCLI or Wheels Module release lands.
+- Troubleshooting PATH and `JAVA_HOME` issues on macOS Apple Silicon or a stripped-down Linux host.
+
+## Requirements
+
+The CLI runs on Java 21. On macOS and Linux, the Homebrew formula installs `openjdk@21` for you and sets `JAVA_HOME` inside the `wheels` wrapper, so you don't have to wire up a system JDK. If you're installing manually — or on Windows outside the Chocolatey package — grab a JDK 21 build from [Adoptium](https://adoptium.net/) or Homebrew:
+
+```bash
+brew install openjdk@21
+java -version
+```
+
+You should see `openjdk version "21.0.x"` in the output. On Apple Silicon macOS, Homebrew's `openjdk@21` isn't symlinked into `/usr/bin/java` by default — the wheels formula handles this by exporting `JAVA_HOME` itself, but if you call `java` directly you'll need to set it manually.
+
+## macOS and Linux (Homebrew)
+
+Tap the formula repository and install:
+
+```bash
+brew tap wheels-dev/wheels
+brew install wheels
+```
+
+The formula (`wheels-dev/wheels`) pins a specific LuCLI release and a matching Wheels Module tarball. At install time, Homebrew downloads both and stages the module under `$(brew --prefix)/opt/wheels/share/wheels/module/`. It does not copy the module into your home directory yet — that happens on first run.
+
+The first time you invoke `wheels`, the wrapper:
+
+1. Compares the staged module version against `~/.wheels/modules/wheels/.module-version`.
+2. If the versions don't match (or the destination doesn't exist), it copies the module into `~/.wheels/modules/wheels/`.
+3. Exports `LUCLI_HOME=$HOME/.wheels` so all runtime state — installed modules, running servers, resolved deps, stored secrets — lives under that directory and stays isolated from any standalone LuCLI install.
+4. Exports `JAVA_HOME` pointing at the Homebrew-installed `openjdk@21`.
+5. Execs the LuCLI launcher with your arguments.
+
+On upgrades (`brew upgrade wheels`), the staged module version bumps; the next `wheels` invocation notices the mismatch and refreshes `~/.wheels/modules/wheels/` in place.
+
+## Windows (Chocolatey)
+
+<Aside type="caution" title="LuCLI-based package is not yet on the Chocolatey community feed">
+The `wheels` package at [community.chocolatey.org/packages/wheels](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/wheels) is still the v1.x legacy (CommandBox-based) release. The v2.x LuCLI-based package is built and tested in [`wheels-dev/chocolatey-wheels`](https://github.com/wheels-dev/chocolatey-wheels) but has not been pushed to the public feed yet. Until it is, Windows users should install via the manual JAR path below.
+</Aside>
+
+Once the LuCLI-based v2 package ships, installation will be:
+
+```powershell
+choco install wheels
+wheels --version
+```
+
+The Chocolatey install script downloads the LuCLI Windows launcher and the matching Wheels Module tarball from GitHub Releases, extracts the module under the package's `tools/module/` directory, and adds `wheels.cmd` to your `PATH`. Java 21 is declared as a Chocolatey dependency (`openjdk`), so `choco` installs a JDK if one isn't already present.
+
+## Manual JAR install
+
+If Homebrew and Chocolatey don't fit your environment — a locked-down CI host, a Docker image, or a Windows box before the v2 Chocolatey package ships — you can wire the pieces up directly. The install has two independent artifacts:
+
+1. **LuCLI launcher.** Download from [github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/releases](https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/releases). Pick the asset matching your OS — `lucli-<version>-macos`, `lucli-<version>-linux`, or `lucli-<version>.bat` on Windows. Rename it to `wheels` (or `wheels.bat`) so LuCLI's binary-name detection activates the Wheels branding, and drop it somewhere on your `PATH`.
+
+2. **Wheels Module.** Download `wheels-module-<version>.tar.gz` (or `.zip` on Windows) from [github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/releases](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/releases). Extract it into `~/.wheels/modules/wheels/`:
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p ~/.wheels/modules/wheels
+   tar -xzf wheels-module-*.tar.gz -C ~/.wheels/modules/wheels/
+   ```
+
+3. **Environment.** Export `JAVA_HOME` to your JDK 21 install and `LUCLI_HOME` to `$HOME/.wheels`:
+
+   ```bash
+   export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk-21
+   export LUCLI_HOME=$HOME/.wheels
+   ```
+
+   Persist these in your shell profile (`~/.zshrc`, `~/.bashrc`, or `$PROFILE` on PowerShell).
+
+Pick LuCLI and Wheels Module versions that are known to be paired — the Homebrew formula's `LUCLI_VERSION` and `MODULE_VERSION` constants in [`Formula/wheels.rb`](https://github.com/wheels-dev/homebrew-wheels/blob/main/Formula/wheels.rb) are the canonical source for "what's currently shipping together."
+
+## Verifying installation
+
+After any of the three paths, confirm the binary resolves and reports a version:
+
+```bash
+wheels --version
+```
+
+You should see something like:
+
+```
+Wheels 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT+1523 (snapshot)
+LuCLI 0.3.7
+Java 21.0.8
+```
+
+The three-line format tells you the Wheels Module version, the underlying LuCLI version, and the JVM the wrapper picked up. If any of those lines is missing or reports an unexpected value, jump to troubleshooting below.
+
+Once the version check passes, `wheels info` inside a Wheels project gives you a deeper sanity check against a real app — datasource connection, environment, route count. See [App Inspection](./wheels-commands/app-inspection/) for the full output and how to read it.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `JAVA_HOME` not set or points at the wrong JDK
+
+The Homebrew wrapper sets `JAVA_HOME` inside its own process, so a missing or wrong `JAVA_HOME` in your shell doesn't break `wheels`. But if you're calling `java` directly — or running a manual install — the CLI fails fast with a "Java 21 required" message when `JAVA_HOME` isn't pointed at a JDK 21 install. On Apple Silicon macOS, Homebrew stages `openjdk@21` at `/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/<version>/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home`; export that path and re-run.
+
+### `wheels: command not found` after `brew install wheels`
+
+Homebrew's shim directory has to be on your `PATH`. On Apple Silicon macOS that's `/opt/homebrew/bin`; on Intel macOS and Linux it's `/usr/local/bin`. Run `brew --prefix` to confirm, check your `PATH`, and add the shim directory if it's missing. A fresh shell (`exec $SHELL -l`) often fixes this without any config change.
+
+### Conflict with a standalone LuCLI install sharing `~/.lucli/`
+
+The wheels formula deliberately isolates runtime state under `~/.wheels/` (via `LUCLI_HOME`) so a standalone `lucli` install — which uses `~/.lucli/` — stays out of the way. If you previously had LuCLI installed directly and see odd module-resolution errors, check that the wrapper set `LUCLI_HOME` correctly (`wheels system env` will dump the resolved environment) and that `~/.wheels/modules/wheels/` contains a current `Module.cfc` and `.module-version` file.

+title: "MCP Integration"
+description: Expose the wheels CLI as an MCP server so AI IDEs like Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode can invoke framework commands directly.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 5
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+The `wheels` binary can run as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server over stdio, letting an AI IDE invoke subcommands — `generate`, `migrate`, `test`, `routes`, and so on — as structured tool calls instead of shell strings. The AI gets a typed tool catalog; you skip the quoting and parsing that trips up shell-based automation.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Letting Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP-aware IDE run `wheels` commands directly, with arguments marshalled as JSON rather than parsed out of chat.
+- Avoiding shell-escaping bugs when an agent wants to pass attribute lists (`title:string`, `body:text`) or path arguments.
+- Automating routine work — generating scaffolds, running migrations, seeding databases — from an editor session without copy-pasting commands.
+
+## How it works
+
+LuCLI ships a generic `mcp` subcommand that wraps any installed module's public functions as MCP tools over stdio JSON-RPC. Running `wheels mcp wheels` starts that server bound to the Wheels Module — every public function in `cli/lucli/Module.cfc` becomes a tool named `wheels_<function>` (for example, `wheels_generate`, `wheels_migrate`). The AI IDE spawns `wheels` as a subprocess, speaks newline-delimited JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout, and receives tool results the same way. No network listener is involved.
+
+## Setup
+
+Add an `.mcp.json` file to your project root (or wherever your IDE expects it). Most AI IDEs auto-load this file when the project opens:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "wheels": {
+      "command": "wheels",
+      "args": ["mcp", "wheels"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+That's the whole configuration. The first `wheels` is the binary name; the second is the module name to expose. The IDE launches the subprocess on demand — you don't need to keep `wheels mcp wheels` running yourself, and the server exits when the IDE disconnects.
+
+Running `wheels mcp` on its own (no module name) prints the same snippet and a short pointer to configuration docs. It is a help command, not a setup wizard — there is no generated file today.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="IDE-specific paths">
+Claude Code reads `.mcp.json` from the project root. OpenCode uses `.opencode.json` with the same `mcpServers` shape. Cursor reads from its settings UI. Check your IDE's MCP documentation for the exact location; the server definition itself is identical across clients.
+</Aside>
+
+### Verifying the server responds
+
+Before wiring it into an IDE, you can confirm the server starts and enumerates tools with the built-in `--once` helper:
+
+```bash
+wheels mcp wheels --once tools/list
+```
+
+That runs a single MCP method and exits — useful for smoke-testing without opening a long-lived stdio session. The output is a JSON-RPC response listing every exposed tool with its input schema.
+
+## Tools exposed
+
+Every public function in the Wheels Module is auto-discovered as an MCP tool, prefixed with the module name:
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `wheels_generate` | Scaffold a model, controller, view, migration, scaffold, route, test, property, or helper. |
+| `wheels_destroy` | Remove a previously generated component and its associated files. |
+| `wheels_migrate` | Run, roll back, or inspect database migrations. |
+| `wheels_seed` | Run convention-based seeds against the configured environment. |
+| `wheels_db` | Database utility operations (schema, reset, status). |
+| `wheels_test` | Run the app or core test suite and return results. |
+| `wheels_reload` | Reload the app via the running dev server. |
+| `wheels_routes` | List registered routes. |
+| `wheels_info` | Print project, framework, and environment info. |
+| `wheels_analyze` | Run the codebase analyzer (conventions, anti-patterns, drift). |
+| `wheels_validate` | Run configuration and schema validation checks. |
+| `wheels_doctor` | Diagnose install, project, and runtime issues. |
+| `wheels_stats` | Count models, controllers, routes, tests, migrations. |
+| `wheels_notes` | Surface `TODO`, `FIXME`, `HACK`, `OPTIMIZE` annotations from the codebase. |
+| `wheels_create` | Create an application (currently only `wheels create app <name>`; forwards to `wheels new`). |
+| `wheels_upgrade` | Scan the project for breaking changes against a target framework version (read-only). |
+
+### Tools deliberately hidden
+
+A handful of public CLI commands are excluded from MCP discovery via `mcpHiddenTools()` in `Module.cfc`. They stay reachable from the terminal but never appear in an MCP `tools/list`:
+
+- `start`, `stop` — dev server lifecycle. Stateful, long-lived processes don't fit the single-call MCP model.
+- `console` — interactive CFML REPL. Requires a live stdin/stdout loop, which the MCP transport owns.
+- `new` — scaffolds an entire new project. Destructive and requires interactive prompts for project context.
+- `browser` — multi-step browser testing flow with its own subcommand tree.
+- `mcp` — the meta command itself; exposing it would let an agent recursively launch MCP servers.
+- `d` — short alias for `destroy`, excluded to avoid a duplicate tool entry (the canonical `wheels_destroy` is exposed).
+
+If you need one of these behaviours from an AI IDE, invoke it via a shell tool — don't try to expose it as an MCP tool.
+
+## Deprecated HTTP endpoint
+
+Earlier versions of the framework shipped an in-dev-server MCP endpoint at `/wheels/mcp`, implemented as a CFML view that spoke Streamable HTTP JSON-RPC. That endpoint is deprecated as of Wheels 4.0. It still responds for backwards compatibility, but it emits a one-time warning to the `wheels_mcp` log on first use per JVM and will be removed in a future release.
+
+Migrate to the stdio surface by switching your IDE's MCP server definition to the `.mcp.json` shown above. The stdio server covers the same tool set, does not require a running dev server for file-based operations (generate, migrate, stats, and so on), and is the only surface that will be maintained going forward.

-
-## Creating Your First Feature
-
-Let's create a blog post feature:
-
-### 1. Generate Scaffold
-
-```bash
-wheels generate scaffold name=post properties=title:string,content:text,published:boolean
-```
-
-This generates:
-- Model with validations
-- Controller with CRUD actions
-- Views for all actions
-- Database migration
-- Test files
-
-### 2. Run Migration
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-### 3. Add Routes
-
-Edit `/config/routes.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Add this line
-    resources("posts");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-### 4. Reload Application
-
-```bash
-wheels reload
-```
-
-### 5. Test Your Feature
-
-Visit http://localhost:3000/posts
-
-You now have a fully functional blog post management system!
-
-## Development Workflow
-
-### Running Tests
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-wheels test
-
-# Filter by directory
-wheels test --filter=models
-
-# Specific tests
-wheels test --filter=tests.specs.models.PostSpec
-```
-
-### Adding Relationships
-
-Let's add comments to posts:
-
-```bash
-# Generate comment model
-wheels generate model comment --properties="author:string,content:text,postId:integer" \
-  --belongsTo="post"
-
-# Update post model
-wheels generate property post comments --has-many
-
-# Generate comments controller
-wheels generate controller comments --rest
-
-# Run migration
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-## Common Tasks
-
-### Adding Authentication
-
-```bash
-# Generate user model
-wheels scaffold name=user properties=email:string,password:string,admin:boolean
-
-# Generate session controller
-wheels generate controller sessions new,create,delete
-
-# Run migrations
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-### Adding API Endpoints
-
-```bash
-# Generate API resource
-wheels generate api-resource product --properties="name:string,price:decimal"
-
-# Or convert existing to API
-wheels generate controller api/posts --api
-```
-
-### Working with Views
-
-```bash
-# Generate specific views
-wheels generate view posts featured
-wheels generate view users profile
-
-# Add layouts
-echo '<cfoutput><!DOCTYPE html>...</cfoutput>' > views/layout.cfm
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use Migrations
-
-Always use migrations for database changes:
-
-```bash
-# Create tables
-wheels dbmigrate create table products
-
-# Add columns
-wheels dbmigrate create column products featured
-
-# Create indexes
-wheels dbmigrate create blank add_index_to_products
-```
-
-### 2. Write Tests
-
-Generate tests for your code:
-
-```bash
-# After creating a model
-wheels generate test model post
-
-# After creating a controller
-wheels generate test controller posts
-```
-
-### 3. Use Environment Configuration
-
-```bash
-# Development
-wheels reload development
-
-# Testing
-wheels reload testing
-
-# Production
-wheels reload production
-```
-
-### 4. Version Control
-
-```bash
-git init
-git add .
-git commit -m "Initial Wheels application"
-```
-
-Add to `.gitignore`:
-```
-/db/sql/
-/logs/
-/temp/
-.env
-```
-
-## Debugging
-
-### Check Logs
-
-```bash
-tail -f logs/wheels.log
-```
-
-### Enable Debug Mode
-
-In `/config/settings.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-<cfset set(showDebugInformation=true)>
-```
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Port already in use:**
-```bash
-wheels start --port=3001
-```
-
-**Database connection failed:**
-```bash
-# Check server info
-wheels info
-```
-
-**Migration failed:**
-```bash
-# Check status
-wheels db status
-
-# Run specific migration
-wheels dbmigrate exec 20240120000000
-
-# Or rollback and try again
-wheels db rollback
-```
-
-**Need to reset database:**
-```bash
-# Complete reset (careful - destroys all data!)
-wheels db reset --force
-```
-
-**Access database directly:**
-```bash
-# CLI shell
-wheels db shell
-
-# Web console (H2 only)
-wheels db shell --web
-```

+title: Quick Start
+description: From a fresh shell to a running Wheels app with a working CRUD resource in under two minutes.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+You'll ship a running Wheels app with one CRUD resource — a blog post with a title and body — wired through model, controller, views, migration, tests, and routes.
+
+This page assumes `wheels --version` already works. If it doesn't, run through [Installation](./installation/) first.
+
+## 1. Create the app
+
+From wherever you keep projects:
+
+```bash
+wheels new myblog --no-open-browser
+```
+
+`wheels new` scaffolds a fresh project directory named `myblog` with SQLite pre-wired as the zero-config datasource. The `--no-open-browser` flag skips the "pop open `http://localhost:8080` once the server is ready" behavior — useful when you want to drive things manually.
+
+<Aside type="tip" title="Equivalent forms">
+`wheels new myblog` and `wheels create app myblog` and `wheels generate app myblog` all reach the same code path. Use whichever reads more naturally.
+</Aside>
+
+## 2. Start the server
+
+```bash
+cd myblog
+wheels start
+```
+
+The dev server binds to port `8080` by default and runs in the foreground — it keeps the terminal attached until you stop it with `Ctrl+C` or `wheels stop` from another shell. On first boot the wrapper resolves dependencies and compiles the application; subsequent starts are quick.
+
+Override the port with `--port=3000` if `8080` is busy.
+
+## 3. Generate a scaffold
+
+Open a **second terminal** in the same project directory (the server keeps running in the first), then:
+
+```bash
+wheels generate scaffold Post title:string body:text
+```
+
+This generates the full CRUD stack — a `Post` model, `Posts` controller with seven actions, index/show/new/edit views, a `CreatePosts` migration with `title` (string) and `body` (text) columns, a test spec, and a resource route. Attribute syntax is `name:type` — types map to the Wheels migration column types (`string`, `text`, `integer`, `boolean`, `decimal`, `datetime`, `date`, `time`).
+
+<Aside type="note" title="The `g` alias">
+`wheels generate` has a shorthand: `wheels g scaffold Post title:string body:text`. This page uses the full form for clarity; the alias is fine in day-to-day work.
+</Aside>
+
+## 4. Run the migration
+
+```bash
+wheels migrate latest
+```
+
+This applies every pending migration — here, the `CreatePosts` migration the scaffold just wrote. Other subcommands: `wheels migrate up` (run the next migration), `wheels migrate down` (roll back one), `wheels migrate info` (show current state).
+
+## 5. View the result
+
+Open `http://localhost:8080/posts` in your browser. You should see the Posts index view — empty at first. Click "New Post", create a record, and the full CRUD flow — list, show, edit, delete — is live against the SQLite database.
+
+If you changed the port in step 2, substitute that port instead.
+
+## 6. Run the scaffold's tests
+
+Still in the second terminal:
+
+```bash
+wheels test --filter=posts
+```
+
+`--filter` scopes the test run to specs whose path matches the filter string. The scaffold generated a `PostsSpec.cfc` under `tests/specs/`, so the filter narrows the run to just that file's specs. Omit the flag to run everything.

+## Common next steps
+
+### Authentication
+
+The scaffold gives you CRUD, not a login flow. See [Authentication Patterns](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/authentication-patterns/) for cookbook-style recipes — session-based, token-based, and third-party OAuth — that drop onto the scaffold you just generated.
+
+### Configuration
+
+To swap SQLite for a real database, tune the reload password, or wire per-environment settings, see [Configuration](./configuration/) and the [Database](./wheels-commands/database/) guide. The datasource name defaults to the app name (`myblog`) and lives in `config/settings.cfm`.
+
+### Deployment
+
+The deployment story — Kamal-based single-command deploys to any VPS — lands in a later docs phase. For now: the app is a standard CFML application that runs on Lucee 6/7, Adobe ColdFusion 2018+, or BoxLang, so any host that speaks those runtimes will serve it. Concrete deployment guides are coming.

+title: "App Inspection"
+description: wheels routes, info, stats, notes, and doctor — read-only introspection commands for diagnosing a project, enumerating declared routes, counting artifacts, surfacing TODOs, and running health checks.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 6
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Five read-only commands cluster on this page. None of them mutate state — they read your project, print what they find, and exit. Reach for them when you're diagnosing an unfamiliar setup or getting a quick inventory of an app you haven't touched in a while.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Seeing every route your application declares without opening `config/routes.cfm`.
+- Checking the installed framework version, datasource name, and server status at a glance.
+- Counting models, controllers, views, and tests — and finding outliers with `--verbose`.
+- Sweeping the codebase for `TODO`, `FIXME`, and `OPTIMIZE` markers before a release.
+- Running a health check when something is misconfigured and you don't know where to start.
+
+### `wheels routes`
+
+Print the dispatch table for the running application — every route declared in `config/routes.cfm` plus any that framework defaults register at boot.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels routes
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+`wheels routes` HTTP-dispatches to the development server at `/wheels/ai?context=routing` and prints the response verbatim. That means **it requires a running server** — start one with `wheels start` first. If no server is detected on any configured port, the command prints an error and exits without output.
+
+Output is produced by the framework's routing inspector, not by the CLI. The shape is a columnar listing: HTTP method, pattern, controller#action, and any name the route was mapped under.
+
+#### Flags
+
+None. The current implementation forwards no query arguments to the inspector endpoint.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels routes
+```
+
+Sample output (trimmed):
+
+```text
+Method  Pattern                    Controller#Action       Name
+GET     /                          pages#home              root
+GET     /posts                     posts#index             posts
+GET     /posts/new                 posts#new               newPost
+POST    /posts                     posts#create
+GET     /posts/:key                posts#show              post
+```
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Server required">
+If the command prints `No running Wheels server detected. Start one with: wheels start`, boot the dev server in another terminal and re-run. The inspector only exists inside the framework runtime.
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels info`
+
+Summarise the project's environment in a short block — CLI version, installed framework version, engine, datasource, and whether a server is running.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels info
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+`wheels info` reads the project locally (no server required) and emits a human-readable summary. It detects the Wheels version from `vendor/wheels/events/onapplicationstart/settings.cfm`, the datasource from `config/settings.cfm`, the presence of `.env` and `lucee.json`, and counts any `.resources(…)` calls in `config/routes.cfm` plus the CFC files under `app/models/`. It also calls `detectServerPort()` to report whether the dev server is currently up.
+
+When the current directory is not a Wheels project (no `vendor/wheels/` present), the command prints a single line saying so and exits.
+
+#### Flags
+
+None. `wheels info` takes no flags — ignore any reference to `--json` or `--quiet`; those were never wired up.
+
+#### Output stream
+
+Output is written to **stderr**, not stdout. If you're piping `wheels info` into another tool, redirect with `2>&1` or capture stderr directly. The process exits successfully either way; no non-zero exit is raised when the summary is empty.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels info"}
+wheels info
+```
+
+Sample output (trimmed):
+
+```text
+Wheels CLI v4.0.0
+
+Project:  /path/to/myblog
+Wheels:   v4.0.0
+Engine:   Lucee (LuCLI module)
+Database: myblog
+Env file: .env found
+Config:   lucee.json found
+Routes:   3 resource route(s)
+Models:   5 model(s)
+Server:   not running
+```
+
+The first line is preceded by a small Wheels banner in some terminals — reproduce it in full only if your docs workflow requires it.
+
+### `wheels stats`
+
+Count files, lines of code, comments, and blanks by category (models, controllers, views, tests, and so on), then print a totals row and a code-to-test ratio.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels stats [--verbose | -v]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--verbose`, `-v` | Append a "Top 10 Largest Files" list after the totals row. Useful when hunting for views or controllers that have grown past the point of sanity. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels stats"}
+wheels stats
+```
+
+Sample output (trimmed):
+
+```text
+Code Statistics
+======================================================================
+Category       Files    LOC   Comments   Blanks   Total
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Models             5    142         18       31     191
+Controllers        6    287         42       68     397
+Views             24    512         12       94     618
+Tests             18    634         56      112     802
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Total             53   1575        128      305    2008
+
+Code-to-test ratio: 1:0.67
+Average lines/file: 29
+```
+
+### `wheels notes`
+
+Scan the project for inline annotations (`TODO`, `FIXME`, `OPTIMIZE` by default) and print each hit with its file path, line number, and the text after the marker.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels notes [--annotations=<list>] [--custom=<tag>]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--annotations=<list>` | Comma-separated list of markers to search for. Default: `TODO,FIXME,OPTIMIZE`. Case-insensitive. |
+| `--custom=<tag>` | Additional single marker to include alongside the defaults (or the list set with `--annotations=`). |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels notes"}
+wheels notes
+```
+
+Sample output (trimmed):
+
+```text
+TODO (2):
+  app/controllers/Posts.cfc:47 -- paginate once we break 100 posts
+  app/models/User.cfc:112 -- extract password policy into a validator
+
+FIXME (1):
+  app/views/posts/show.cfm:23 -- escape HTML in the excerpt
+
+Summary: 3 annotations (2 TODO, 1 FIXME)
+```
+
+When nothing matches, the command prints `No annotations found.` in green and exits.
+
+### `wheels doctor`
+
+Run a battery of health checks against the project — file layout, configuration presence, datasource reachability, migrator table state, and anything else the doctor service has wired up — and print a list of passes, warnings, and issues with an overall status.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels doctor [--verbose | -v]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--verbose`, `-v` | Always print the list of passed checks. Without this flag, passes are shown only when the overall status is `HEALTHY` (i.e., zero issues and zero warnings). |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels doctor"}
+wheels doctor
+```
+
+Sample output (trimmed):
+
+```text
+Wheels Health Check
+========================================
+
+Warnings (1):
+  ! .env file missing — copy _env and customise
+
+Passed (7):
+  + vendor/wheels/ installed
+  + config/settings.cfm present
+  + config/routes.cfm present
+  + app/models/ exists
+  + app/controllers/ exists
+  + tests/specs/ exists
+  + lucee.json present
+
+Status: WARNING
+
+Recommendations:
+  * Create a .env file from the _env template before running migrations.
+```
+
+Status is one of `HEALTHY`, `WARNING`, or `CRITICAL`. Issues (red) indicate the project cannot run as configured; warnings (yellow) flag things that work but look off; recommendations (cyan) are optional suggestions keyed off what the checks found.
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Quick setup verification
+
+```bash
+wheels doctor
+```
+
+Run this first when a project acts strangely or when you've just cloned someone else's app. If the status is `HEALTHY` or `WARNING`, you can usually start the server; `CRITICAL` means something is structurally wrong.
+
+### See what exists
+
+```bash
+wheels info && wheels stats && wheels routes
+```
+
+Three commands, in order, give you: versions and environment, artifact counts, and the routing table. Run this after inheriting an app to orient yourself in under a minute. (Remember `wheels routes` needs a running server.)
+
+### Find stale work
+
+```bash
+wheels notes --annotations=TODO,FIXME,HACK,XXX
+```
+
+Sweep before a release. Widen the marker list with `--annotations=` or tack on a single extra tag with `--custom=DEPRECATED`.

+title: "Code Generation"
+description: wheels generate — models, controllers, scaffolds, migrations, routes, tests, properties, helpers, snippets, admin, and API resources, with attribute syntax and per-subcommand flags.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+`wheels generate` is a dispatcher that routes to a family of generator subcommands. Each subcommand writes one or more files into your project: a model CFC, a controller with views, a migration, a full scaffold, a helper, a test spec, an admin interface, or a reusable code snippet. The dispatcher itself does no generation — it parses the first positional argument as a `<type>` and forwards the rest to the matching generator.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Scaffolding a complete resource (model + controller + views + migration + tests + route) in one command.
+- Producing individual artifacts — a blank migration, a property-add migration, a single controller — without touching anything else.
+- Stamping out common patterns (authentication, soft delete, API controller) as starting-point code you edit in place.
+- Turning an existing model into a CRUD admin interface via runtime introspection.
+
+## Overview
+
+```
+wheels generate <type> <name> [attributes...] [flags]
+```
+
+The `g` alias is supported for every form (`wheels g model User`). `wheels create <type>` exists as a forward-looking dispatcher but currently only accepts `type=app`, which forwards to `wheels new`; use `wheels generate` for everything else.
+
+Running `wheels generate` with no arguments prints the list of supported types and one-line examples. Unknown types print `Unknown generator type: <type>` and exit without writing anything.
+
+### Supported types
+
+| Type | Alias | Writes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `app` | `a` | New project directory (delegates to `wheels new`) |
+| `model` | `m` | Model CFC and, if properties given, a create-table migration |
+| `controller` | `c` | Controller CFC and a view file per non-mutation action |
+| `view` | `v` | Single view template |
+| `migration` | `migrate` | Blank migration CFC |
+| `scaffold` | `s` | Model + migration + controller + views + tests + resource route |
+| `api-resource` | `api` | Model + JSON controller + migration + tests + namespaced route (no views) |
+| `route` | `r` | Adds a `.resources()` line to `config/routes.cfm` |
+| `test` | — | Model or controller spec file |
+| `property` | `prop` | Add-column migration for an existing model |
+| `helper` | `h` | Helper CFC under `app/helpers/` |
+| `snippets` | — | Copies a named code pattern into the project |
+| `admin` | — | CRUD admin controller + views for an existing model (requires a running server) |
+
+## Attribute syntax
+
+Most generators accept a trailing list of `name:type` property pairs after the resource name. The parser also recognises a few `--belongsTo=`, `--hasMany=`, and `--hasOne=` flags for associations. Type names are normalised to Wheels migration column types — unknown types fall back to `string`.
+
+| You write | Column type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `name` | `string` | Type defaults to `string` when `:type` is omitted. |
+| `title:string` | `string` | Also: `varchar`. |
+| `body:text` | `text` | Also: `longtext`. |
+| `count:integer` | `integer` | Also: `int`. |
+| `views:biginteger` | `bigInteger` | Also: `bigint`. |
+| `price:decimal` | `decimal` | Also: `float`, `numeric`. |
+| `active:boolean` | `boolean` | Also: `bool`. |
+| `publishedAt:datetime` | `datetime` | Also: `timestamp`. |
+| `publishedOn:date` | `date` | |
+| `startsAt:time` | `time` | |
+| `payload:binary` | `binary` | |
+| `--belongsTo=author` | — | Adds `belongsTo(name="author")` and an `authorId` FK column. |
+| `--hasMany=comments` | — | Adds `hasMany(name="comments")`. Pass multiple names comma-separated. |
+| `--hasOne=profile` | — | Adds `hasOne(name="profile")`. |
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Type aliases land on the same column type">
+The mapper folds aliases together — `varchar` and `string` both emit `t.string(...)`, `int` and `integer` both emit `t.integer(...)`, and so on. Pick whichever reads best; the generated migration is identical.
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels generate model`
+
+Generate a model CFC and, when properties are supplied, a matching create-table migration.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate model <Name> [property:type ...] [--belongsTo=<list>] [--hasMany=<list>] [--hasOne=<list>]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Writes `app/models/<Name>.cfc` with `belongsTo`/`hasMany`/`hasOne` associations inserted into `config()` based on the flags you passed. If any `property:type` arguments are present, the generator also stamps out a timestamped migration under `app/migrator/migrations/` that creates the table. No migration is written when you generate a model with no properties.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate model User name email:string active:boolean --hasMany=posts
+```
+
+Writes `app/models/User.cfc` with `hasMany(name="posts")` in `config()`, plus a migration that creates the `users` table with `name`, `email`, and `active` columns (and the standard `timestamps()` trio).
+
+### `wheels generate controller`
+
+Generate a controller CFC and view files for each read-only action.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate controller <Name> [action ...]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Writes `app/controllers/<Name>.cfc` with a stub method per action name you pass. For each action that isn't `create`, `update`, `delete`, or `destroy`, the generator also writes `app/views/<name>/<action>.cfm`. Passing no actions creates an empty controller with no view files.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate controller Users index show new create
+```
+
+Writes `app/controllers/Users.cfc` with `index()`, `show()`, `new()`, and `create()` methods, plus `app/views/users/index.cfm`, `app/views/users/show.cfm`, and `app/views/users/new.cfm`. The `create` action does not get a view.
+
+### `wheels generate view`
+
+Generate a single view template.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate view <controller> <action>
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Writes `app/views/<controller>/<action>.cfm`. Both arguments are required — unlike `generate controller`, this subcommand does not fall back to a default action.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate view products edit
+```
+
+Writes `app/views/products/edit.cfm`.
+
+### `wheels generate migration`
+
+Generate a blank migration file.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate migration <Name>
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Writes `app/migrator/migrations/<timestamp>_<Name>.cfc` with empty `up()` and `down()` methods. The timestamp is generated at run time so sequential invocations produce a deterministic order. Use this when you want to hand-write schema changes that don't map to the property-based `model`/`scaffold`/`property` generators.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate migration AddIndexesToPosts
+```
+
+Writes a file such as `app/migrator/migrations/20260420120000_AddIndexesToPosts.cfc`.
+
+### `wheels generate scaffold`
+
+Generate a complete CRUD resource.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate scaffold <Name> [property:type ...] [--belongsTo=<list>] [--hasMany=<list>]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+The most opinionated generator. It runs, in order: model, create-table migration, controller (pluralised from `<Name>`), views (`index`, `show`, `new`, `edit`, `_form`), a model spec and controller spec under `tests/specs/`, and a `.resources()` route in `config/routes.cfm`. If any step fails the whole batch is rolled back so you're not left with a half-generated resource.
+
+`belongsTo` associations automatically add a foreign-key column — `--belongsTo=author` adds an `authorId` integer column to the migration even if you didn't list it in the properties.
+
+After running, do `wheels migrate latest` to apply the migration, then `wheels start` to try the new resource.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate scaffold Post title body:text publishedAt:datetime --belongsTo=author
+```
+
+Writes:
+
+- `app/models/Post.cfc` with `belongsTo(name="author")`
+- `app/migrator/migrations/<timestamp>_create_posts_table.cfc` with `title`, `body`, `publishedAt`, `authorId`, and the `timestamps()` trio
+- `app/controllers/Posts.cfc` with the seven CRUD actions
+- `app/views/posts/index.cfm`, `show.cfm`, `new.cfm`, `edit.cfm`, `_form.cfm`
+- `tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc`, `tests/specs/controllers/PostsControllerSpec.cfc`
+- `.resources("posts")` appended to `config/routes.cfm`
+
+See the [Database guide](../database/) for what to do with the generated migration.
+
+### `wheels generate api-resource`
+
+Generate a JSON-only resource — model, controller, migration, tests, and a namespaced route — without any views.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate api-resource <Name> [property:type ...] [--belongsTo=<list>] [--hasMany=<list>]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Same pipeline as `scaffold`, but the controller is generated in JSON-only mode (no view rendering), no view files are written, and the route is added under the `api` namespace using `.namespace("api").resources(name="<names>", except="new,edit")`. Use this when you're building a pure API — a separate front end, a mobile client, or a service-to-service endpoint.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate api-resource Product name price:decimal sku:string
+```
+
+Writes a JSON controller at `app/controllers/api/Products.cfc`, a create-table migration, and tests. After migrating and starting the server, `curl http://localhost:8080/api/products.json` returns an empty list.
+
+### `wheels generate route`
+
+Add a single resource route to `config/routes.cfm`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate route <name>
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Opens `config/routes.cfm`, checks that `.resources("<name>")` isn't already present, and inserts it into the mapper chain. Duplicate routes are detected by literal substring match — `generate route posts` is a no-op if `.resources("posts")` already appears in the file. If the mapper block can't be found, the command prints the line to add manually and exits.
+
+This is the one-line equivalent of the route step that `scaffold` and `api-resource` run for you.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate route comments
+```
+
+Adds `.resources("comments")` to the `mapper()` chain in `config/routes.cfm`.
+
+### `wheels generate test`
+
+Generate a BDD test spec file.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate test <type> <Name>
+```
+
+`<type>` must be `model` or `controller`. Any other value is rejected.
+
+#### Description
+
+Writes `tests/specs/models/<Name>Spec.cfc` or `tests/specs/controllers/<Name>ControllerSpec.cfc`, extending `wheels.WheelsTest` with a `run()` method and one placeholder `it()` block. Use this when you want a spec file for a model or controller that wasn't scaffolded.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate test model User
+```
+
+Writes `tests/specs/models/UserSpec.cfc`.
+
+### `wheels generate property`
+
+Generate an add-column migration for an existing model.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate property <ModelName> <property:type>
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Writes a `Add<Property>To<Tables>` migration under `app/migrator/migrations/`. The migration calls `changeTable()` with the mapped column type in `up()` and `removeColumn()` in `down()`. Property type mapping follows the same table as the [attribute syntax](#attribute-syntax).
+
+The generator prints a reminder to add a matching `validatesPresenceOf()` call in the model's `config()` — it does not modify the model CFC for you.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate property User phoneNumber:string
+```
+
+Writes `app/migrator/migrations/<timestamp>_AddPhoneNumberToUsers.cfc` with `t.string(columnNames="phoneNumber")` in `up()`.
+
+### `wheels generate helper`
+
+Generate a helper CFC under `app/helpers/`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate helper <name> [functionName ...] [--force]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Writes `app/helpers/<Name>Helper.cfc` (the `Helper` suffix is appended automatically) with a stub method per function name you pass. Without any function names, an empty helper is created. The `--force` flag overwrites an existing file; without it, the command exits with an error if the file already exists.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate helper Formatting truncateText formatCurrency
+```
+
+Writes `app/helpers/FormattingHelper.cfc` with empty `truncateText()` and `formatCurrency()` methods.
+
+### `wheels generate snippets`
+
+Stamp out a named code pattern.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate snippets [pattern] [--force]
+wheels generate snippets templates [--force]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Running with no arguments prints the registry of available patterns. Running with a pattern name writes one or more files into the project — exactly which files depends on the pattern. Re-running a pattern whose files already exist is a no-op; pass `--force` to overwrite.
+
+The special `templates` subcommand copies every raw generator template from the CLI's bundled directory into `app/snippets/` so you can customise them for your project. Regular named patterns write curated, opinionated starting code instead.
+
+#### Patterns
+
+| Pattern | What it writes |
+|---|---|
+| `auth` | `app/controllers/Sessions.cfc`, `app/views/sessions/new.cfm`, `app/snippets/auth-filter.cfm` |
+| `soft-delete` | `app/snippets/soft-delete.cfm`, `app/snippets/soft-delete-migration.cfc` |
+| `api-controller` | `app/snippets/api-controller.cfc` |
+| `crud-controller` | `app/snippets/crud-controller.cfc` |
+| `flash-messages` | `app/views/shared/_flash.cfm` |
+| `pagination` | `app/snippets/pagination-view.cfm` |
+| `seed-data` | `app/snippets/seeds.cfm`, `app/snippets/seeds-development.cfm` |
+| `mailer` | `app/snippets/user-mailer.cfc` |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels generate snippets auth
+```
+
+Writes a session controller, a login view, and an auth filter. Edit the filter and add `filters(through="authenticate")` to the controllers that need protection.
+
+### `wheels generate admin`
+
+Generate a CRUD admin interface for an existing model.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels generate admin <ModelName> [--force] [--no-routes]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Unlike the other generators, this one requires a running dev server — it hits `http://localhost:<port>/wheels/cli?command=introspect&model=<ModelName>` to read the model's properties, associations, and validations, then generates a controller and views that reflect the live schema. Start the server with `wheels start` first.
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--force` | off | Overwrite existing admin controller and view files. |
+| `--no-routes` | off | Skip adding the admin route to `config/routes.cfm`. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels start
+wheels generate admin User
+```
+
+After reload, the admin interface is available at `/admin/users`.
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Full CRUD resource from one command
+
+```bash
+wheels generate scaffold Post title body:text publishedAt:datetime
+wheels migrate latest
+wheels start
+```
+
+Generates the model, migration, controller, views, tests, and route; migrates the database; and boots the server. `/posts` is live.
+
+### Just the model (and its migration)
+
+```bash
+wheels generate model Comment body:text --belongsTo=post
+```
+
+Creates `Comment.cfc` with `belongsTo(name="post")`, plus a migration that includes a `postId` foreign-key column. Useful when you want the association wired up but don't need a controller or views yet.
+
+### A blank migration for a hand-written schema change
+
+```bash
+wheels generate migration AddUniqueIndexOnUsersEmail
+```
+
+Use this when the change is something the property-based generators can't express — adding a composite index, renaming a column, seeding reference data.
+
+### An API-only resource behind `/api`
+
+```bash
+wheels generate api-resource Product name price:decimal
+wheels migrate latest
+```
+
+No views, no HTML controllers — just a JSON endpoint mounted under `/api/products.json`.

+title: "Code Quality"
+description: wheels analyze and wheels validate — read-only diagnostics that surface anti-patterns, complex functions, code smells, and validation errors across models, controllers, views, and routes.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 7
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Two commands cluster here, both read-only and both backed by the same `analysis` service. `wheels analyze` produces a long-form report with metrics, anti-patterns, and complexity hotspots. `wheels validate` runs a tighter, error-focused pass over models, controllers, routes, and views and reports pass/fail.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Catching Wheels anti-patterns (mixed argument styles, query-vs-array confusion, non-private filters) before they ship.
+- Spotting complex functions and code smells that have grown past sanity while you weren't looking.
+- Running a quick validation sweep before a deploy to confirm models, controllers, routes, and views still parse clean.
+
+### `wheels analyze`
+
+Walk the project's CFC and CFM files and print a code-health report: totals, a graded health score, and lists of anti-patterns, complex functions, and code smells.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels analyze [target]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+`wheels analyze` delegates to the `analysis` service, which reads files under `app/models/`, `app/controllers/`, and `app/views/` (or a single directory if you pass a target). Each file is scanned for Wheels-specific anti-patterns — the kind listed in the top-10 at the root of this project — plus cyclomatic-complexity outliers and generic code smells. The command prints counts, a letter grade (A–F) backed by a 0–100 health score, and the individual findings with file name, line number, and severity.
+
+This command does not require a running server. It reads the project off disk and exits.
+
+#### Target argument
+
+| Value | Scans |
+|---|---|
+| `all` (default) | `app/models/`, `app/controllers/`, and `app/views/` |
+| `models` | `app/models/` only |
+| `controllers` | `app/controllers/` only |
+| `views` | `app/views/` only |
+
+If you pass anything else, the command falls through to `all`.
+
+#### Flags
+
+None. `wheels analyze` takes a single positional target and no flags.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels analyze"}
+wheels analyze
+```
+
+Sample output (trimmed):
+
+```text
+Analyzing code...
+
+Code Analysis Results
+────────────────────────────────────
+Files:      29
+Lines:      1842
+Functions:  134
+Grade:      B (82/100)
+
+Anti-Patterns (2)
+  [ERROR] Posts.cfc:18 — hasMany mixes positional and named args
+  [WARNING] User.cfc:34 — filter 'authenticate' is public, should be private
+
+Complex Functions (1)
+  Posts.cfc:create — complexity 14
+
+Completed in 0.42s
+```
+
+If nothing is found, the command prints `No issues found!` in green instead of the three category lists.
+
+### `wheels validate`
+
+Run the shorter, error-focused pass: check model associations, controller conventions, route syntax, and view `cfparam` declarations, then report pass/fail.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels validate
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+`wheels validate` uses the same `analysis` service but calls its `validate()` method, which runs four targeted checks:
+
+- **Models** — iterates `app/models/*.cfc` and flags problems like mixed association argument styles.
+- **Controllers** — iterates `app/controllers/*.cfc` looking for convention violations (public filter functions, missing `extends="Controller"`, etc.).
+- **Routes** — parses `config/routes.cfm` for syntax problems.
+- **Views** — walks `app/views/` for `.cfm` files missing `cfparam` declarations.
+
+The result is a `valid` flag (true if zero `error`-severity issues exist), a total count, and a per-issue list with file, severity, and message.
+
+#### Flags
+
+None. `wheels validate` takes no arguments and no flags.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels validate"}
+wheels validate
+```
+
+Sample output when everything passes (warnings can still appear):
+
+```text
+Validating...
+
+Validation passed — no errors found (1 warnings)
+  [WARNING] show.cfm — missing cfparam for 'post'
+```
+
+Sample output with errors:
+
+```text
+Validating...
+
+Validation found 2 issue(s):
+  [ERROR] Posts.cfc — hasMany mixes positional and named args
+  [ERROR] routes.cfm — unclosed resources() block
+```
+
+<Aside type="note" title="analyze vs validate">
+Both commands read the same files through the same service, but they answer different questions. `wheels analyze` is **observational** — here's what your code looks like, here are metrics, here are hotspots. `wheels validate` is **pass/fail** — either there are no errors (exit green) or there are errors you need to fix. Reach for `analyze` during development or a refactor; reach for `validate` right before committing or deploying.
+</Aside>
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Pre-commit sanity check
+
+```bash
+wheels validate
+wheels analyze
+```
+
+Run `validate` first and read its output for any ✗ errors or ⚠ warnings. Then run `analyze` for a broader look at health scores and anti-patterns. Both commands always exit 0 regardless of findings, so read each report before moving on — the results are in the output, not the exit code.
+
+### Scope the analysis
+
+```bash
+wheels analyze models
+wheels analyze controllers
+wheels analyze views
+```
+
+Narrow to one directory while you're iterating on it. Useful when you're refactoring models and don't want controller noise in the report — or vice versa.

+title: "Console & REPL"
+description: wheels console — an interactive CFML prompt bound to your running application's context. Inspect models, resolve DI services, poke at routes, and try expressions against live state.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 9
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+`wheels console` is an interactive prompt that evaluates CFML expressions inside your running application's context. Models resolve, the DI container responds, routes are visible — everything the framework knows about, the console knows about. It is a separate surface from LuCLI's bare `repl`, which is a context-free CFML evaluator useful outside of Wheels projects.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Inspecting the state of a running application without writing a one-off controller action.
+- Trying a model query interactively — `findAll`, scopes, chained `.where` calls — and seeing the shape of the result before committing to view code.
+- Debugging a DI-resolved service by asking the container for it and invoking methods directly.
+
+### Overview
+
+`wheels console` requires a running Wheels server. It discovers the port with `detectServerPort()`, reads the reload password (from `.env` or `config/settings.cfm` unless you pass `--password`), and issues a `__ping__` to `/wheels/console/eval` to confirm the endpoint is reachable. Once connected, every line you type is POSTed to that endpoint, evaluated inside the live application, and the result streamed back.
+
+Because the evaluation happens in the server, not the CLI, every expression runs with full access to `application.wheels.*`, registered models, the DI container, framework helpers like `get()` and `service()`, and any mixins the app has loaded.
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels console [--password=<value>]
+```
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--password=<value>` | Reload password for the server. If omitted, the CLI auto-detects it from `.env` or `config/settings.cfm`. You only need this flag when detection fails or when you're pointing at a server configured with a non-default password. |
+
+If no server is running, the command prints `No running Wheels server detected` and exits. Start one with `wheels start` first.
+
+### What's available at the prompt
+
+The console is a thin wrapper around the server-side evaluator — anything that would compile inside a normal CFML component is fair game. In practice, these are the surfaces you'll reach for most:
+
+| Surface | Example |
+|---|---|
+| Model finders | `model("User").findAll()` |
+| Model instances | `model("User").new(email="test@example.com")` |
+| Model scopes & chains | `model("Post").published().where("authorId", 1).get()` |
+| DI services | `service("emailService")` |
+| Framework settings | `get("environment")`, `get("dataSourceName")` |
+| Live app globals | `application.wheels.version`, `application.wheels.models`, `application.wheels.routes` |
+| Plain CFML | `now()`, `arrayLen([1,2,3])`, `structKeyArray(myStruct)` |
+
+The examples below assume you've defined a `User` model in `app/models/User.cfc` with `email` validation — adapt the names to whatever your app actually has.
+
+### Built-in console commands
+
+Commands at the prompt start with `/`. They're short-circuits for things you'd otherwise type as full expressions — skip them if you prefer the long form.
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `/help`, `/h` | Print the console help text (commands + example expressions). |
+| `/env` | Print the current environment (development, production, etc.). |
+| `/models` | List every registered model, sorted alphabetically. |
+| `/routes` | List all routes as `pattern -> controller#action`. |
+| `/version` | Print the Wheels version from `application.wheels.version`. |
+| `/ds`, `/datasource` | Print the current datasource name. |
+| `/reload` | Reload the application (equivalent to `?reload=true`). |
+| `/clear` | Clear the terminal screen (ANSI reset). |
+| `/exit`, `/quit`, `/q` | Exit the console. |
+
+### Examples
+
+Invoke the console from a project root while a dev server is running:
+
+```bash
+wheels console
+```
+
+A typical session looks like this — the prompt is `wheels>`, and each line you type is evaluated in the app context:
+
+```text
+Wheels Console v4.0.0
+Connected to localhost:3000 (development) — Wheels 4.0.0
+Type expressions to evaluate in your app context. /help for commands.
+
+wheels> model("User").count()
+=> 42
+
+wheels> /models
+=> [
+    "Comment",
+    "Post",
+    "User"
+  ]
+```
+
+Build a new model instance, check validations, and inspect the error list:
+
+```text
+wheels> var u = model("User").new(email="bad")
+wheels> u.valid()
+=> false
+
+wheels> u.errorsOn("email")
+=> [
+    {
+      "message": "must be a valid email address"
+    }
+  ]
+```
+
+Resolve a DI-registered service and invoke a method:
+
+```text
+wheels> var svc = service("emailService")
+wheels> svc.isConfigured()
+=> true
+```
+
+Chain scopes against a model that defines them:
+
+```text
+wheels> model("Post").published().recent().findAll().recordCount
+=> 17
+```
+
+Queries come back rendered as a column-aligned table; model instances come back as key-value blocks; structs and arrays come back pretty-printed as JSON. Primitives (`number`, `boolean`, `string`) print inline after `=>`.
+
+### `console` vs `repl`
+
+The two surfaces look similar and are not the same tool.
+
+| | `wheels console` | `wheels repl` (LuCLI) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Prompt | `wheels>` | `cfml>` |
+| App context | Full Wheels app loaded | None — bare CFML evaluator |
+| Models resolve? | Yes | No |
+| DI container available? | Yes (`service("...")`) | No |
+| Requires a running server? | Yes | No |
+| Exit commands | `/exit`, `/quit`, `/q`, Ctrl+D | `exit`, `quit`, Ctrl+D |
+| Use case | Inspect running app state | Quick CFML expression evaluation anywhere |
+
+Reach for the console when you need to see what the application sees. Reach for LuCLI's `repl` when you want to try a CFML expression outside a project, or when no Wheels server is running and you just need a calculator.
+
+### How to exit
+
+Any of these end the session:
+
+- Type `/exit`, `/quit`, or `/q` and press Enter.
+- Press Ctrl+D to send EOF — the console prints `Bye!` and returns.
+
+There is no `.exit` command. Typing `exit` or `quit` without the leading slash will be evaluated as a CFML expression and produce an error.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Expressions, not statements">
+Each line is evaluated as a CFML expression. Variable assignments work (`var x = 1`), but multi-line blocks, `if`/`else` control flow, and `cfscript` component declarations are not supported — wrap them in a `.cfm` script and execute that instead.

+title: "Creating a Project"
+description: Scaffold a new Wheels application with wheels new and wheels create — flags, generated directory layout, and common bootstrap recipes.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Two commands bootstrap a fresh Wheels project: `wheels new` is the primary entry point, and `wheels create app` is a thin alias that reaches the same code path. Both scaffold a project directory from the bundled template, install the framework into `vendor/wheels/`, wire an embedded database, and write a starter controller and view.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Creating a new Wheels application from scratch.
+- Understanding which files and directories the scaffold writes.
+- Customising the initial port, datasource name, reload password, or embedded database choice.
+
+## Overview
+
+`wheels new <name>` is the canonical form. It takes an app name as a positional argument and a handful of flags that tweak the generated configuration. On completion you get a directory named `<name>` with a bootable Wheels app inside — `cd <name> && wheels start` will run it.
+
+`wheels create app <name>` dispatches to the same implementation after stripping the `app` type token. It exists so that `wheels create` can eventually grow additional subtypes without breaking the invocation shape. For today, `wheels new foo` and `wheels create app foo` are interchangeable. `wheels generate app foo` also reaches the same path.
+
+Both commands refuse to run if the target directory already exists, and both roll back the directory if framework installation fails so you can retry cleanly.
+
+### `wheels new`
+
+Scaffold a new Wheels project directory.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels new <name> [flags]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+Creates a new application in `<name>/` under the current working directory. SQLite is configured as the zero-config datasource by default; pass `--setup-h2` to use H2 instead, or `--no-sqlite` to skip embedded-database setup entirely. The scaffold installs the framework into `vendor/wheels/`, writes a `config/app.cfm` with the chosen datasource, and drops a starter `Main` controller plus index view.
+
+#### Arguments
+
+| Name | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `<name>` | yes | Directory and app name. Used as the default datasource name (lowercased) and as the reload password unless overridden. |
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--port=<number>` | `8080` | Server port written into `lucee.json`. The shutdown port is `port + 1`. |
+| `--datasource=<name>` | app name (lowercased) | Datasource name registered in `config/app.cfm`. |
+| `--reload-password=<pw>` | random | Password required by `?reload=true&password=…`. A random value is generated when the flag is omitted. |
+| `--setup-h2` | off | Configure H2 as the embedded database instead of SQLite. Creates `db/h2/` and writes H2 datasource entries. |
+| `--no-sqlite` | off | Skip embedded-database setup entirely. Use when you plan to wire an external datasource yourself. |
+| `--no-open-browser` | off | Don't open a browser on `wheels start`. Sets `openBrowser: false` in the generated config. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels new myblog --no-open-browser
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+Prints each file and directory it creates, a summary block with the resolved port/datasource/reload password, and the next-step hint (`cd <name>` then `wheels start`).
+
+### `wheels create`
+
+Create application components. In the current release the only supported subtype is `app`, which dispatches to `wheels new`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels create <type> <name> [flags]
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+`wheels create` is a dispatcher. `wheels create app <name>` forwards the remaining arguments to `wheels new`, so every flag documented above works identically here. Running `wheels create` with no arguments prints the list of supported types.
+
+#### Arguments
+
+| Name | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `<type>` | yes | Component type to create. Currently only `app` is supported. |
+| `<name>` | yes | Passed through to the underlying command — for `app`, the new application's directory name. |
+
+#### Flags
+
+For `wheels create app`, every flag from `wheels new` is accepted and forwarded verbatim. See the [flag table](#flags) above.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels create app myblog --port=3000 --setup-h2
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+Identical to `wheels new` — the command forwards to the same implementation.
+
+## What gets generated
+
+A fresh project has the following top-level layout:
+
+```text
+myblog/
+  app/
+    controllers/          # Main.cfc starter controller
+    models/
+    views/                # main/index.cfm starter view
+    migrator/migrations/
+    events/
+    global/
+    helpers/
+    jobs/
+    lib/
+    mailers/
+    plugins/
+    snippets/
+  config/                 # app.cfm, settings.cfm, routes.cfm
+  db/                     # development.sqlite (or db/h2/ with --setup-h2)
+  public/                 # images/, javascripts/, stylesheets/, files/, miscellaneous/
+  tests/
+    specs/
+      models/
+      controllers/
+      functional/
+  vendor/
+    wheels/               # framework installed by the scaffolder
+  .env
+  .gitignore
+  lucee.json
+```
+
+The `.env` file is created from the template's `_env` stub and carries environment-specific values; it is gitignored by the generated `.gitignore`. `lucee.json` pins the server port and shutdown port to the flags you passed. `config/app.cfm` carries the datasource configuration — SQLite by default, H2 under `--setup-h2`, or no datasource block under `--no-sqlite`.
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Create and start in one line
+
+```bash
+wheels new myblog --no-open-browser && cd myblog && wheels start
+```
+
+`--no-open-browser` keeps the browser from popping open on server boot — useful when you want to drive things yourself or you're chaining commands in a script.
+
+### Create with H2 instead of SQLite
+
+```bash
+wheels new myblog --setup-h2
+```
+
+H2 is a pure-Java embedded database that ships with Lucee, so no JDBC download is needed on first run. The scaffold creates `db/h2/` and registers both the app datasource and a `wheelstestdb` datasource for the test suite.
+
+### Create with an explicit port and datasource name
+
+```bash
+wheels new myblog --port=3000 --datasource=blogdb
+```
+
+The port lands in `lucee.json`, the datasource name lands in `config/app.cfm`. The reload password is still randomised unless you pass `--reload-password=…`.

+description: wheels migrate, wheels seed, and wheels db — apply schema changes, populate seed data, and run database utilities against a running Wheels server.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Three commands cover day-to-day database work: `wheels migrate` applies migration files, `wheels seed` populates default records, and `wheels db` bundles utility subcommands for status, version, and reset. All three delegate to a running Wheels server over HTTP — start one with `wheels start` before running any of them.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Applying pending migrations after generating a model or editing a migration file.
+- Seeding development or production data from `app/db/seeds.cfm` and its environment-specific siblings.
+- Inspecting which migrations have been applied, or rolling forward pending ones after pulling a branch.
+- Resetting an embedded development database to a known-good state during iteration.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Server must be running">
+`wheels migrate`, `wheels seed`, and every `wheels db` subcommand dispatch to the dev server at `/wheels/cli`. If no server is detected, the command prints an error and exits without doing anything. Boot one with `wheels start` first.
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels migrate`
+
+Apply or roll back migration files in `app/migrator/migrations/`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels migrate [latest|up|down|info]
+```
+
+Running `wheels migrate` with no subcommand defaults to `latest`. Unknown subcommands print `Unknown migration action: <name>` and exit without touching the schema.
+
+#### Subcommands
+
+##### `latest`
+
+Runs every pending migration in order until the database is caught up with the migrations directory. This is the command you reach for most often — after generating a model, after pulling a branch that added migrations, after writing a new migration by hand.
+
+##### `up`
+
+Runs the next pending migration and stops. Use this when you want to advance one step at a time rather than applying everything at once.
+
+##### `down`
+
+Rolls back the most recently applied migration by calling its `down()` method. Use this to undo a schema change you just applied, then edit the migration file and re-run `up`.
+
+##### `info`
+
+Prints a summary of applied and pending migrations without changing the schema. For the full tabular breakdown — version, description, status, applied-at timestamp — use [`wheels db status`](#wheels-db) instead.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels migrate latest
+```
+
+Prints `Running migration: latest...` in cyan, dispatches the run to the server, and reports completion with a message like `Migration latest completed.` in green. Migration errors are caught and reported as `Migration failed: <message>`.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Generating migration files">
+`wheels migrate` only applies migrations — it does not create them. To stamp out a new migration file, use `wheels generate migration` (blank) or `wheels generate property` (add-column). See [Code Generation](../code-generation/).
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels seed`
+
+Populate the database from `app/db/seeds.cfm` and any environment-specific seed file.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels seed [--environment=<env>] [--mode=<mode>] [--generate]
+```
+
+The seeder runs `app/db/seeds.cfm` first (shared across every environment) and then `app/db/seeds/<environment>.cfm` if one exists. Both are wrapped in a single transaction. Seeds use the `seedOnce()` helper, which checks `uniqueProperties` before inserting — re-running is safe.
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--environment=<env>` | auto-detected | Load `app/db/seeds/<env>.cfm` after the shared seeds file. When omitted, the server uses the active Wheels environment. |
+| `--mode=<mode>` | `auto` | Seeder mode. `auto` runs the convention-based seed files. |
+| `--generate` | off | Legacy shortcut for `--mode=generate` — random test data. Kept for compatibility with the old CommandBox surface; convention-based seeds (`seedOnce()`) are preferred. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels seed
+```
+
+Prints `Running database seeds...` and then a count like `Seeded: 12 created, 3 skipped` — the skipped count reflects rows that `seedOnce()` found already present.
+
+```bash
+wheels seed --environment=production
+```
+
+Runs `app/db/seeds.cfm` plus `app/db/seeds/production.cfm`. Useful for reference data (roles, statuses, lookup values) that must exist in production but shouldn't ship as dev fixtures.
+
+See the [Seeding guide](../../../basics/seeding/) for the full `seedOnce()` API and file-layout conventions.
+
+### `wheels db`
+
+Utility subcommands for migration status, schema version, and full-reset workflows.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels db <command> [flags]
+```
+
+Running `wheels db` with no subcommand prints a usage banner. Unknown subcommands print `Unknown db command: <name>` and exit.
+
+#### Subcommands
+
+##### `reset`
+
+Runs pending migrations and reseeds the database in one shot. Destructive in the sense that it will apply every pending migration — but it does not drop existing tables. Requires `--force` to confirm; without it, the command prints a warning and exits without acting.
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--force` | off | Required. Confirms you want to migrate and reseed. |
+| `--skip-seed` | off | Run migrations but skip the seeding step. |
+
+```bash
+wheels db reset --force
+```
+
+Prints `Running migrations...`, dispatches `wheels migrate latest`, then prints `Running seeds...` and dispatches `wheels seed`. Ends with `Database reset complete.` in green.
+
+##### `status`
+
+Prints a table of every migration — version, description, status (`applied` or `pending`), and applied-at timestamp.
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--pending` | off | Show only migrations that have not yet been applied. |
+
+```bash
+wheels db status
+```
+
+Output is a formatted table with a totals line at the bottom (`Total: 14 | Applied: 12 | Pending: 2`). Applied rows are green; pending rows are yellow.
+
+##### `version`
+
+Prints the current schema version.
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--detailed` | off | Also show the last applied migration, total migration count, pending count, and the next pending migration. |
+
+```bash
+wheels db version --detailed
+```
+
+Prints the current version followed by a summary block — last applied migration with timestamp, totals, and the next pending migration if one exists.
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Fresh development setup
+
+```bash
+wheels migrate latest
+wheels seed
+```
+
+Apply all migrations, then load the shared and development seed files. Run this after cloning a repo or pulling a branch that added migrations or seed data.
+
+### Reset the dev database to a clean slate
+
+```bash
+wheels db reset --force
+```
+
+Runs pending migrations and reseeds in one command. Skip seeding with `wheels db reset --force --skip-seed` when you want the schema up to date but no data loaded.
+
+### Check what's pending before applying
+
+```bash
+wheels db status --pending
+wheels migrate latest
+```
+
+Print only the pending migrations first — useful for a quick sanity check on a branch switch — then apply them.
+
+### Seed production reference data
+
+```bash
+wheels seed --environment=production
+```
+
+Runs `app/db/seeds.cfm` (shared) followed by `app/db/seeds/production.cfm`. Because `seedOnce()` is idempotent, running this after a deploy is safe even if the records already exist.

+title: "Dev Server"
+description: wheels start, wheels stop, and wheels reload — run the Wheels dev server, shut it down cleanly, and apply framework or config changes without restarting the JVM.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 4
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Three commands cover the inner dev loop: `wheels start` brings a development server up, `wheels stop` takes it down, and `wheels reload` reinitializes the running application without restarting the JVM. You'll compose these every day while iterating on a Wheels app.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Running your Wheels app locally while you work on it.
+- Stopping the dev server cleanly when you're done — or before switching branches.
+- Reinitializing framework state (routes, settings, DI bindings) after edits that require a full app reload without killing the JVM.
+
+## Overview
+
+`wheels start` is the preferred way to run a Wheels app during development. It wraps LuCLI's lower-level `wheels server start` with Wheels-specific bootstrap — forwarding any extra flags through to the underlying server command so things like `--port` and `--version` still work. `wheels stop` is a thin wrapper around `wheels server stop` for the project directory. `wheels reload` is Wheels-specific: it talks to the running app over HTTP rather than restarting anything.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Two commands named similarly">
+`wheels start` (Wheels module) and `wheels server start` (LuCLI core) are related but distinct surfaces. `wheels start` is the short, Wheels-aware form you'll reach for 99% of the time. `wheels server` is LuCLI's general-purpose server manager and exposes more subcommands (`status`, `list`, `restart`, `log`, and so on). See the LuCLI [`server`](../../core-commands/server/) reference for the full surface.
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels start`
+
+Start a Wheels development server for the current project. Delegates to `wheels server start` under the hood and forwards extra flags to it.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels start [flags]
+```
+
+Any flags you pass are forwarded verbatim to `wheels server start`. The common ones are listed below — see [`wheels server start`](../../core-commands/server/) for the full list.
+
+#### Flags (forwarded to `wheels server start`)
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-p, --port=<port>` | Port number for the server (e.g., `8080`). |
+| `-n, --name=<name>` | Custom name for the server instance. |
+| `-v, --version=<version>` | Lucee version to use (e.g., `6.2.2.91`). |
+| `--env, --environment=<env>` | Environment to use (e.g., `dev`, `staging`, `prod`). |
+| `-c, --config=<file>` | Configuration file to use (defaults to `lucee.json`). |
+| `--disable-open-browser` | Don't open a browser after the server starts. |
+| `--dry-run` | Show the resolved configuration without starting the server. |
+| `--sandbox` | Start a transient background server without writing `lucee.json`. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels start
+```
+
+Prints `Starting Wheels server...` in cyan and hands control off to `wheels server start` in the current project directory. The server runs in the foreground and occupies the terminal until it exits.
+
+<Aside type="caution" title="Foreground process">
+`wheels start` blocks the terminal. To stop the server, run `wheels stop` from another terminal or press `Ctrl+C` in the terminal that owns the process.
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels stop`
+
+Stop the running Wheels development server for the current project.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels stop
+```
+
+Resolves the server instance from the project directory and asks LuCLI to stop it. Under the hood it runs `wheels server stop` scoped to the project root.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels stop
+```
+
+Prints `Stopping Wheels server...` in cyan and delegates to `wheels server stop`. Useful from a second terminal when `wheels start` is blocking the first one.
+
+<Aside type="tip" title="Stopping by name or all at once">
+To stop a server by explicit name or to stop every running Lucee server on the machine, drop down to the core command: `wheels server stop --name=<name>` or `wheels server stop --all`. See the [`server`](../../core-commands/server/) reference.
+</Aside>
+
+### `wheels reload`
+
+Reinitialize the running Wheels application without restarting the JVM. Useful after edits to `config/settings.cfm`, `config/routes.cfm`, `config/services.cfm`, or any file that is only read during framework bootstrap.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels reload
+```
+
+`wheels reload` detects the running server's port automatically (from `lucee.json`, then `.env`) and hits `http://localhost:<port>/?reload=true&password=<password>` with the reload password it finds in your project config. If no server is running, it prints `No running Wheels server detected. Start one with: wheels start` and exits.
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels reload
+```
+
+On success: `Application reloaded successfully.` in green. On failure — most often a password mismatch — it prints `Failed to reload: <message>` and hints at setting `RELOAD_PASSWORD` in `.env` or `config/settings.cfm`.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="When you need reload">
+Most CFML source changes are picked up on the next request without a reload. You need `wheels reload` when you change config that's only read at bootstrap — routes, settings, DI bindings, package manifests — or when you want to force every per-request cache to clear.
+</Aside>
+
+## Dev loop example
+
+The three commands compose into a typical inner loop:
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1 — bring the server up and leave it running
+wheels start
+
+# Terminal 2 — iterate on your app
+# For most CFML edits: just save the file and hit refresh.
+# For config/routes/services changes, force a reload:
+wheels reload
+
+# When you're done for the day
+wheels stop
+```

+title: "Scaffold Cleanup"
+description: wheels destroy — the reverse of wheels generate. Remove scaffolded files, individual artifacts, or recover from a mis-named generate, with the wheels d one-letter alias.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 8
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+`wheels destroy` is the reverse of `wheels generate`. You hand it the same name you handed `generate` and it removes the files that were written. `wheels d` is a one-letter alias for the same command.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Undoing a scaffold you ran against the wrong name and want to redo.
+- Removing an individual generated artifact — a model, a controller, a view directory — without touching the rest of the project.
+- Cleaning up half-generated work when a `generate` run didn't match what you meant to type.
+
+## Overview
+
+`destroy` mirrors a subset of the `generate` surface. For each supported type it removes the files the matching generator wrote, drops the corresponding `.resources()` line from `config/routes.cfm` when relevant, and stamps out a `remove_<table>_table` migration for types that own a schema. Files that weren't generated — or that have already been removed — are reported as skipped, not errors.
+
+`wheels d` is the same function under a shorter name. Every example on this page works with either `destroy` or `d`.
+
+<Aside type="caution" title="Confirmation is required">
+`destroy` always runs in preview mode first. It prints the list of files it would delete and exits without touching anything until you re-run the command with `--force`. There is no interactive prompt — add `--force` to the same command once you've read the preview.
+</Aside>
+
+## Synopsis
+
+```bash
+wheels destroy <name> [type] [--force]
+wheels d <name> [type] [--force]
+```
+
+The first positional argument is the resource name. The second, optional, is the type — `resource` (the default), `model`, `controller`, or `view`. `--force` must be passed for any deletion to actually occur; without it, `destroy` prints the preview and exits.
+
+Running `wheels destroy` with no arguments prints the usage block and supported types.
+
+### Supported types
+
+`destroy` handles four types. This is narrower than `generate` — there is no `destroy scaffold`, `destroy migration`, or `destroy helper`. Use `resource` (the default) for the full CRUD surface that `generate scaffold` writes.
+
+| Type | What it removes |
+|---|---|
+| `resource` (default) | Model CFC, controller CFC, views directory, model spec, controller spec, view-tests directory, `.resources()` route line, plus a new drop-table migration file |
+| `model` | Model CFC, model spec, plus a new drop-table migration file |
+| `controller` | Controller CFC and controller spec |
+| `view` | Entire view directory and its matching view-tests directory — or a single view file if you pass a `controller/action` path |
+
+### Flags
+
+| Flag | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--force` | off | Required to actually delete. Without `--force`, `destroy` prints the preview and exits. |
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels destroy Post
+# preview prints; nothing deleted yet
+
+wheels destroy Post --force
+```
+
+The second command removes `app/models/Post.cfc`, `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`, `app/views/posts/`, `tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc`, `tests/specs/controllers/PostsSpec.cfc`, `tests/specs/views/posts/`, and the `.resources("posts")` line from `config/routes.cfm`. It also writes a new `<timestamp>_remove_posts_table.cfc` migration into `app/migrator/migrations/` — you still need to run `wheels migrate latest` to actually drop the table from the database.
+
+## Safety notes
+
+<Aside type="caution" title="destroy is destructive">
+- Commit your work before running `destroy`. Deleted files are gone — `destroy` does not move them to a backup directory.
+- Run `destroy` without `--force` first and read the preview. The command always lists what it would delete before doing anything.
+- `destroy model` and `destroy resource` generate a drop-table migration but do **not** execute it. Your database schema is unchanged until you run `wheels migrate latest`. If you want the schema back the way it was, delete the generated migration file before migrating.
+- `destroy` removes whole view directories by default. Pass a `controller/action` path to `destroy view` when you only want a single template deleted.
+- Files not found are reported as skipped, not errors — `destroy` succeeds even if the files you asked about were already gone.
+</Aside>
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Undo a scaffold
+
+```bash
+wheels destroy Post --force
+wheels migrate latest   # apply the generated drop-table migration
+```
+
+Removes every file `wheels generate scaffold Post` wrote, clears its route, and — after the migrate — drops the `posts` table.
+
+### Clean up aborted work
+
+```bash
+wheels destroy User model --force
+wheels destroy Users controller --force
+```
+
+Useful when you ran `wheels generate model` and `wheels generate controller` separately, realised you named them wrong, and want to back out both without touching anything else. Each invocation is independent and prints its own preview when `--force` is omitted.
+
+### Re-scaffold under a new name
+
+```bash
+wheels destroy Post --force
+wheels migrate latest
+wheels generate scaffold Article title body:text
+wheels migrate latest
+```
+
+Tear down the old resource, apply the drop-table migration, and generate the new one. The two migrate runs keep the schema aligned with the filesystem at each step.

+### `wheels test`
+
+Run the Wheels BDD test suite. Auto-detects core tests when `vendor/wheels/tests/` exists; otherwise runs the app suite under `tests/specs/`.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels test [--filter=<dir>] [--db=<engine>] [--verbose] [--ci] [--core] [flags]
+```
+
+A bare positional argument is treated as the filter directory — `wheels test models` is equivalent to `wheels test --filter=models`.
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--filter=<dir>` | Substring or path match against spec directories. Narrows the run to a subset (e.g., `models`, `controller`, `browser`). |
+| `--db=<engine>` | Database engine to run against. Defaults to `sqlite`. See the valid values below. |
+| `--reporter=<name>` | Accepted but currently not consumed — the output format is fixed. Reserved for a future reporter surface. |
+| `--verbose`, `-v` | Print per-spec output instead of the summary line. |
+| `--ci` | CI mode: tightens exit codes and output for GitHub Actions and similar runners. |
+| `--core` | Force core framework tests (`vendor/wheels/tests/`). Auto-detected when `vendor/wheels/` is present, so you rarely need this explicitly. |
+
+#### Valid `--db` values
+
+| Value | Engine |
+|---|---|
+| `sqlite` | SQLite (default; no external server) |
+| `h2` | H2 (embedded) |
+| `mysql` | MySQL |
+| `postgres` | PostgreSQL |

+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels test --filter=models --db=sqlite --verbose
+```
+
+Runs every spec under a directory matching `models`, against SQLite, with per-spec output. Exit code is non-zero if any spec fails or errors.
+
+### `wheels browser install`
+
+Download the Playwright Java JARs and a Chromium binary into `.wheels/browser/` so browser specs can run. This is a one-time setup per workspace — roughly 370MB on first install.
+
+#### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels browser install [--force] [--browser=<name>]
+```
+
+`wheels browser` is an umbrella that also exposes a `test` subcommand for running only the browser spec directory. Most users only need `install` at the CLI level and then run browser specs through the normal `wheels test` path.
+
+#### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--force` | Re-download every JAR even if the local SHA-256 matches the manifest. Useful after a manifest bump. |
+| `--browser=<name>` | Which browser engine to install. Defaults to `chromium`, which is the only engine wired into the browser DSL today. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels browser install
+```
+
+Reads `vendor/wheels/browser-manifest.json`, downloads each missing or mismatched JAR, verifies SHA-256, and installs a matching Chromium build. Subsequent runs skip files that already match the manifest.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="When install is required">
+Specs that extend `wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest` short-circuit gracefully when the JARs aren't present — they mark themselves skipped rather than failing. Run `wheels browser install` once per workspace before you expect browser specs to actually exercise the DSL. The [Browser Tests](../../../testing/browser-tests/) guide covers the `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE` gate that controls the same behavior in CI.
+</Aside>
+
+## Common workflows
+
+```bash
+# Run the whole suite against SQLite (the default)
+wheels test
+
+# Narrow to one area while iterating
+wheels test --filter=models
+
+# CI-shaped run — tight output, firm exit codes
+wheels test --ci --db=sqlite
+
+# First-time browser setup, then exercise the browser specs
+wheels browser install
+wheels test --filter=browser
+```

+title: "Upgrade"
+description: wheels upgrade check — scan an existing project for known breaking changes against the current release (or a pinned target), without touching any files.
+type: reference
+sidebar:
+  order: 10
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+`wheels upgrade` is a **read-only scanner**. It compares the framework version installed in `vendor/wheels/` against a target release, then greps the project for patterns that are known to break between major versions. It does **not** swap out `vendor/wheels/`, edit `box.json`, rewrite your code, or install anything. That part of the upgrade happens through your package manager — the CLI just tells you what will be waiting for you on the other side.
+
+**You'll use this for:**
+
+- Previewing a major-version bump (2 → 3, 3 → 4) before you pull the trigger.
+- Confirming an upgrade is "clean" — same major version, no code changes expected.
+- Pinning the scan to a specific target with `--to=<version>` when you're not chasing the latest release.
+
+### Synopsis
+
+```
+wheels upgrade check [--to=<version>]
+```
+
+Calling `wheels upgrade` with no subcommand (or any subcommand other than `check`) prints usage and exits. The only verb the command currently understands is `check`.
+
+### What it does
+
+`wheels upgrade check` performs four steps, in order:
+
+1. **Reads the current version** from `vendor/wheels/box.json`. If the file is missing or malformed, the version is reported as `unknown` and the comparison below is skipped.
+2. **Resolves the target version.** If you pass `--to=<version>`, that wins. Otherwise the command hits the GitHub releases API (`api.github.com/repos/wheels-dev/wheels/releases/latest`) and strips the leading `v` from the tag name. If the network call fails, the command prints a yellow notice and exits — it will not invent a target.
+3. **Compares major versions.** If current and target share the same major, the command prints "Same major version — no known breaking changes", reminds you of the upgrade command, and exits. No scan runs.
+4. **Runs breaking-change checks** when the major bumps. Each check is either a directory existence test or a regex grep across a sub-tree of the project. Hits are printed as issues (yellow); absences are printed as passed checks (green).
+
+Nothing in the project is modified. No files are written. The command does not stage, commit, or touch git state.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+None that the command enforces — but in practice:
+
+- **Commit first.** The scanner is read-only, but the actual upgrade (`brew upgrade wheels`, a fresh `vendor/wheels/` drop-in, etc.) will replace framework code. Have a clean working tree so you can diff and roll back.
+- **Run your tests.** Rerun the test suite after the framework swap, not after this command — `wheels upgrade check` does not exercise anything, it only greps.
+- **Internet access** is required when you don't pass `--to=`. The command fetches the latest release tag from GitHub.
+
+### Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--to=<version>` | Target version to scan against (e.g. `--to=4.0.0`). When omitted, the command queries GitHub for the latest release tag. If the GitHub call fails and no `--to=` is given, the command aborts. |
+
+That is the complete flag surface. The command does not accept `--force`, `--dry-run`, `--check`, `--backup`, or any apply-style switch — there is nothing to apply.
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+wheels upgrade check --to=4.0.0
+```
+
+Sample output (trimmed):
+
+```text
+Current version: 3.5.1
+Target version:  4.0.0
+
+Breaking Changes (2 found):
+  ! Legacy plugin directory (deprecated in 4.x)
+    plugins/
+    -> Migrate to packages/ + vendor/ system
+
+  ! Old test base class (wheels.Test)
+    tests/specs/models/UserSpec.cfc:1
+    -> Change to extends="wheels.WheelsTest"
+
+All Clear (1 checks):
+  + Direct WireBox references
+
+Upgrade with: brew upgrade wheels
+```
+
+When current and target share a major version, output collapses to:
+
+```text
+Current version: 4.0.0
+Target version:  4.0.1
+
+Same major version — no known breaking changes.
+Upgrade with: brew upgrade wheels
+```
+
+### What gets checked
+
+The checks are hard-coded in the CLI and keyed by the major-version transition:
+
+**2.x → 3.x**
+
+- Existence of `app/plugins/` (legacy plugin directory).
+- `extends="wheels.Test"` anywhere under `tests/` (old BDD base class).
+
+**3.x → 4.x**
+
+- Existence of `plugins/` at the project root (deprecated plugin location).
+- `extends="wheels.Test"` anywhere under `tests/`.
+- `application.wirebox` references anywhere under `app/` — these must move to `service()` / `inject()` on the new DI container.
+
+Each grep scans `.cfc` and `.cfm` files (as appropriate for the check) recursively and reports `path:lineNumber` for every hit. Directory checks report only the top-level path when the directory exists and is non-empty.
+
+<Aside type="note" title="Not an exhaustive migration list">
+The scanner catches the patterns that are most commonly missed during a major upgrade — it is not a full migration checklist. Read the release notes for the target version alongside the scan output.
+</Aside>
+
+### What gets updated
+
+Nothing. The scanner is read-only. To actually move to a new release:
+
+- **Homebrew:** `brew upgrade wheels` — replaces the `wheels` CLI binary.
+- **Project `vendor/wheels/`:** swap the directory manually, or regenerate the app skeleton against the new release and port your `app/` into it.
+
+Framework upgrades live outside the CLI by design. `wheels upgrade check` is the safety net you run before and after.
+
+### Rollback
+
+Because the command writes no files, there is nothing to roll back. If you proceed with the actual upgrade and it goes sideways, the standard git recovery applies to your project:
+
+```bash
+git restore vendor/wheels/
+git clean -fd vendor/wheels/
+```
+
+Or revert the commit that introduced the new `vendor/wheels/` tree. The CLI binary itself is managed by your package manager — `brew` keeps the previous cellar around for `brew switch`-style rollback.

+title: Conventions over Configuration
+description: The conventions Wheels enforces, what they buy you, and when to override them.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+
+Wheels trades explicit configuration for naming conventions. A file in the right place with the right name wires itself into the framework without a line of setup — and when a convention doesn't fit your schema, you override it in one line and move on.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What "convention over configuration" means in practice
+- Which conventions Wheels enforces and what each one infers
+- What breaking a convention costs
+- When an override is the right call
+
+## What the convention buys you
+
+Naming is the glue between layers. The framework reads the name of a file, class, action, or association and fills in the rest — table name, view path, routes, foreign keys — without any registration step. You get a working surface area from the filename alone.
+
+| You create | Wheels infers |
+|------------|---------------|
+| `app/models/Post.cfc` | Model class `Post`, table `posts`, primary key `id`, datasource = app default |
+| `app/controllers/Posts.cfc` | Controller `Posts`, view dir `app/views/posts/`, routes via `.resources("posts")` |
+| Action `index` on `Posts` | View path `app/views/posts/index.cfm`, rendered through `app/views/layout.cfm` |
+| `config/routes.cfm` with `.resources("posts")` | Seven routes (`posts`/`newPost`/`post`/`editPost` named), CRUD mapping |
+| `hasMany(name="comments")` on `Post` | Foreign key `postId` on `comments`; methods `post.comments()` and `post.createComment()` |
+
+Every row in that table is a decision you didn't have to make. No registry file lists your models. No manifest maps actions to views. No config block wires a controller to a route. Rename a file and the wiring follows. Delete a file and the wiring is gone.
+
+The rules themselves are narrow and mechanical. Model classes are singular PascalCase; table names are the plural, lowercase form of the class name. Controller classes are plural PascalCase; the view directory is the lowercase form of the controller name. Primary keys are `id`. Foreign keys are the singular association name plus `Id` — `postId` for a `belongsTo("post")`, `userId` for a `belongsTo("user")`. Every rule follows the same shape: given a name, there is exactly one location the framework will look, and exactly one shape it expects.
+
+## How to override when you need to
+
+Every convention has a one-line escape hatch. The overrides live where the convention would have applied — in the model's `config()`, in the route definition, in the `renderView()` call. You don't reach into framework internals to change the mapping; you declare the exception next to the thing it applies to.
+
+- **Custom table:** `tableName("old_blog_entries")` inside the model's `config()`.
+- **Custom primary key:** `setPrimaryKey("entryId")` inside `config()`. Composite keys pass an array.
+- **Custom datasource:** `dataSource("legacy")` inside `config()` picks a non-default datasource for this model.
+- **Custom foreign key on an association:** `hasMany(name="comments", foreignKey="blogPostId")` overrides the `postId` default.
+- **Custom view path:** `renderView(action="summary")` or `renderView(controller="shared", action="error")` picks a different template without renaming the action.
+- **Custom layout:** `renderView(layout="print")` for one action, or a `filters(through="$usePrintLayout")` filter that calls `usesLayout("print")` across a controller.
+- **Custom route mapping:** `.get(pattern="/old/:key", to="posts##show")` in `config/routes.cfm` maps a legacy URL onto a conventional action.
+
+Each override is local. The rest of the model, the rest of the controller, the rest of the app keeps the default behavior. You pay the configuration cost only where the convention didn't fit.
+
+The same shape holds for every override in the framework. The convention fires by default; a single named argument or a single line in `config()` replaces it with a value you supply. You don't disable conventions globally, and there's no flag that turns them off. The surface area stays predictable because every exception is visible next to the thing that needed it.
+
+## When conventions fight you
+
+Legacy databases are the usual source of friction. Tables named `tbl_user_data`, primary keys called `userID` instead of `id`, pluralizations Wheels' inflector doesn't recognize (`person`/`people`, `datum`/`data`, `goose`/`geese`), columns that carry JSON or enum values on a schema designed before either was a standard type. Multi-tenancy with per-tenant schemas or table prefixes. Foreign keys that don't follow the `<model>Id` pattern because someone named them after a product code twenty years ago.
+
+None of these block you. Each has a declared override — `tableName()`, `setPrimaryKey()`, `foreignKey=`, a custom inflector rule, a dynamic scope, a middleware that resolves the tenant. The cost is a handful of extra lines in the model and a reader who has to know the schema is unusual. That's a real cost, but it's paid once per table, not once per query. Most apps have five or ten such exceptions and several hundred conventional models.
+
+The pattern to avoid is configuring away a convention you could have followed. If a new table is going in and the name is negotiable, pick the plural lowercase form the framework expects. If a new foreign key is going in, name it `<model>Id`. The conventions cost nothing when you adopt them and compound every time you add a model, an association, or a controller. The exceptions are for the schemas you inherited, not the schemas you write.
+
+## Why this philosophy
+
+Conventions reduce the decision surface. A developer opening a Wheels app for the first time already knows where models, controllers, views, migrations, and routes live — the directory structure is the same in every Wheels app. They know that `Post.cfc` maps to a `posts` table without reading your configuration. They know the `show` action renders `posts/show.cfm`. The part of the codebase they have to read to understand what's happening is the part you actually wrote, not the scaffolding around it.
+
+Tooling depends on the same assumptions. Generators produce files at the expected paths. Scaffolds wire controllers to views to routes because the routes and views are where the conventions say they are. The `wheels` CLI, migrations, seeds, and test runners all rely on the convention to locate the things they operate on. Breaking a convention shifts cost from the framework to your app: the tools stop helping, and every new developer has to learn one more thing that isn't in the docs. Override where you must, follow the convention where you can.

+title: The Dependency Injection Container
+description: The service container Wheels ships with — what it does, the three scopes, and when to reach for it.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 5
+---
+
+Wheels ships a small dependency injection container. You register named components at app boot and resolve them by name wherever you need them. Knowing what the container does, what the three lifetimes mean, and when *not* to use it will keep you from registering everything or registering nothing.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What the container stores and why you'd reach for it
+- Where registrations live and how `map()` and `bind()` differ
+- The three scopes — transient, singleton, request — and when each fits
+- The two ways to resolve a service, plus auto-wiring on `init()`
+- When plain `new` is still the right answer
+
+## What the container does
+
+The container holds named references to components. Your code asks for a name, the container hands back an instance. That's the whole job. The indirection is the point: consumers don't know which concrete class they got, only that something registered under `emailService` answered their call. They don't construct it, they don't know its dotted path, and they don't know whether it's a fresh object or a shared one.
+
+That indirection lets you swap implementations without rewriting consumers. A test can register a `MockEmailService` under the same name; a staging environment can register a `SandboxNotifier` where production uses `SlackNotifier`; a per-request service can read the current tenant from the request scope without every caller threading it through. The consumers don't change — the registration does.
+
+## Registration
+
+Registrations live in `config/services.cfm`. Environment-specific overrides live in `config/<environment>/services.cfm` and load after the base file, so `config/testing/services.cfm` can replace production bindings with test doubles.
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — config/services.cfm"
+var di = injector();
+di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService").asSingleton();
+di.map("currentUser").to("app.lib.CurrentUserResolver").asRequestScoped();
+di.bind("INotifier").to("app.lib.SlackNotifier").asSingleton();
+```
+
+`map()` and `bind()` are equivalent — `bind()` just reads better when the name you're registering represents an interface or abstraction. The file loads once at application start and again on `wheels reload`; it is not consulted per request.
+
+## The three scopes
+
+| Scope | Lifetime | Use when |
+|-------|----------|----------|
+| `transient` (default) | New instance each resolve | Stateless helpers, no shared state needed |
+| `.asSingleton()` | One per application | Stateless services with expensive construction |
+| `.asRequestScoped()` | One per HTTP request | Per-request state (current user, tenant) |
+
+Request-scoped instances live in `request.$wheelsDICache` and vanish when the request ends. Singletons live for the life of the application — they survive every request until the app reloads. The default, transient, hands back a new instance every time; reach for it when a service carries no cached state and construction is cheap.
+
+## Resolving
+
+Two ways to get a service out of the container:
+
+**Lazy lookup.** Call `service("emailService")` anywhere in your code — controllers, views, models, service objects. The container resolves the name on the spot. Good for infrequent or conditional use, where paying for resolution only when you need it is the right trade.
+
+**Declarative injection.** Call `inject("emailService, currentUser")` in a controller's `config()` method. The container then resolves every named service once per controller instantiation and assigns each to `this.<name>`. Action code reads `this.emailService.send(...)` without a resolution call on every line.
+
+## Auto-wiring
+
+When you register a component whose `init()` takes arguments, the container inspects the parameter names and auto-resolves any that match registered mappings — provided you didn't pass an `initArguments` struct yourself. A service whose `init()` declares `required any emailService, required any logger` gets both injected automatically when both names are registered. Constructor injection for the common case, without an opt-in decorator on every class. Explicit `initArguments` always win; auto-wiring is just the no-args fallback.
+
+## When NOT to use the container
+
+Plain `new app.lib.Foo()` is fine for stateless components you never swap. The container earns its keep when one of two things is true: you will swap implementations (a test double, an environment-specific strategy, a feature-flagged alternative), or lifecycle matters (a per-request tenant resolver, a singleton holding a shared HTTP client pool). Registering every model and every partial helper just because the container exists turns `config/services.cfm` into a second routing file no one wants to read. Register what benefits from the seam; instantiate the rest directly.

+title: Environments and Configuration
+description: The three environments, where settings live, and how per-environment overrides cascade.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 8
+---
+
+Wheels ships with three named environments, a small stack of configuration files that load in a fixed order, and one pattern — `set(key=value)` — for writing into the settings struct. Knowing which file overrides which, and where secrets belong, keeps local behavior from leaking into production and keeps production credentials out of your repository.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The three environments and what each is tuned for
+- Where configuration lives and the order files load in
+- How `set()` writes into the settings struct and how overrides cascade
+- How the active environment is chosen at boot
+- Where secrets belong — and where they don't
+
+## The three environments
+
+| Environment | When it's used | Typical settings |
+|-------------|----------------|------------------|
+| `development` | Local dev server | Verbose errors, hot reload, debug helpers visible |
+| `testing` | Test suite runs | Clean DB reset per spec, shorter timeouts, deterministic time |
+| `production` | Real users | Errors hidden, caches warmed, log rotation, HTTPS enforced |
+
+A fourth value, `maintenance`, is supported for planned downtime. Most apps never need it.
+
+## Where settings live
+
+Configuration loads from a small set of files in `config/`. The framework reads them in order at application start and on every `wheels reload`:
+
+- `config/app.cfm` — init-time hooks for the `this` scope of `Application.cfc` (app name, session timeout). Runs once per app start.
+- `config/settings.cfm` — shared defaults that apply to every environment. Middleware list, datasource name, reload password.
+- `config/environment.cfm` — reads the active environment name, typically from `WHEELS_ENV` with a sane default.
+- `config/<environment>/settings.cfm` — per-environment overrides. `config/development/settings.cfm`, `config/testing/settings.cfm`, `config/production/settings.cfm`. Loaded *after* the shared file, so these win.
+- `config/services.cfm` — DI container registrations. See [The Dependency Injection Container](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/dependency-injection/).
+- `config/routes.cfm` — route definitions. See [How Routing Works](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/how-routing-works/).
+
+The per-environment override directory is only read for the environment you're in. `config/production/settings.cfm` never runs in development, which is exactly what you want when production is where the caching and HTTPS enforcement belong.
+
+## The `set()` pattern
+
+Every framework setting is written with one function: `set(key=value)`. It writes into the Wheels settings struct the framework reads from during boot and dispatch. There is no YAML, no `.ini`, no configuration DSL — just CFML calling a setter.
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — config/settings.cfm"
+set(dataSourceName = "myapp_dev");
+set(reloadPassword = application.wo.env("RELOAD_PASSWORD"));
+set(environment = application.wo.env("WHEELS_ENV", "development"));
+```
+
+Settings cascade: framework defaults load first, then `config/settings.cfm`, then `config/<environment>/settings.cfm`. Later writes win. A value you set in the shared file is the default for every environment; the environment-specific file only needs to name the keys it changes.
+
+## Environment detection
+
+The active environment is set by `config/environment.cfm`, which typically reads `WHEELS_ENV` from the environment variables with a default of `development`. The `wheels` CLI respects the same variable, and `.env` files loaded at boot get merged into the lookup. Override in CI or production by exporting `WHEELS_ENV=production` before the app starts — a deploy script, a Dockerfile `ENV`, or a systemd unit is the usual place.
+
+## Secrets handling
+
+Don't commit `.env`, credentials, or API keys. The scaffold ships a `.gitignore` that excludes `.env` for exactly this reason. Read secrets at boot with `application.wo.env("VAR_NAME")`, optionally passing a default for missing-but-not-fatal values:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — config/production/settings.cfm"
+set(dataSourcePassword = application.wo.env("DB_PASSWORD"));
+set(stripeApiKey = application.wo.env("STRIPE_API_KEY", ""));
+```
+
+Local development uses `.env` files; production uses a secrets manager (1Password Connect, AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault) that injects the same variable names at deploy time. Your configuration code doesn't change between environments — only the source of the values does.

+title: How Routing Works
+description: URL to action, the algorithm — how .resources() expands, why order matters, and how route model binding loads records before your action runs.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 7
+---
+
+Routing is the stage between a URL arriving and a controller method running. The algorithm is small enough to keep in your head, the expansion rules are fixed, and the order of declarations is the order of matching — which makes routing failures easy to reason about once you know the shape.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The match algorithm the router uses on every request
+- What `.resources("posts")` actually generates
+- The order rules that decide which route wins
+- How route model binding loads records before the action runs
+- Why named routes are the right way to build URLs
+
+## The match algorithm
+
+The router walks `config/routes.cfm` top-to-bottom on every request. The first route whose HTTP method and URL pattern both match the request wins — and that's the match, even if a more specific route appears later. There is no scoring, no backtracking, no "best fit."
+
+Resource and namespaced declarations are not matched as a unit. They expand at boot time into plain routes that sit in the same ordered list as your hand-written `.get()` and `.post()` calls. A `.resources("posts")` is seven entries in the table, registered in a fixed order. The wildcard route catches anything that falls through and maps `/controller/action` conventionally — a legacy pattern kept for upgrade paths. Named routes are the preferred way to wire URLs.
+
+## What `.resources("posts")` expands to
+
+One call generates seven routes. The names in the right column are what you pass to `linkTo`, `redirectTo`, and `urlFor`.
+
+| HTTP method | Path | Controller#action | Named route |
+|-------------|------|-------------------|-------------|
+| GET | `/posts` | `posts#index` | `posts` |
+| GET | `/posts/new` | `posts#new` | `newPost` |
+| POST | `/posts` | `posts#create` | (same name `posts`) |
+| GET | `/posts/:key` | `posts#show` | `post` |
+| GET | `/posts/:key/edit` | `posts#edit` | `editPost` |
+| PATCH/PUT | `/posts/:key` | `posts#update` | (same name `post`) |
+| DELETE | `/posts/:key` | `posts#delete` | (same name `post`) |
+
+Two routes can share a named route because the helpers disambiguate by HTTP verb. `linkTo(route="post", key=post.id)` renders a GET link to `show`; `buttonTo(route="post", key=post.id, method="delete")` renders a DELETE button against the same name. You look up by name, the helper picks the verb.
+
+## Order rules
+
+Route order is almost always the cause when a URL matches the wrong action. Four rules cover every case:
+
+- Specific routes come before generic ones. A literal path beats a pattern with a placeholder.
+- `.resources(...)` declarations come before `.root(...)`, which comes before `.wildcard()`. The wildcard is always last.
+- A custom `.get(pattern="/posts/featured", to="posts##featured")` must come **before** `.resources("posts")`, or `/posts/featured` matches the `show` route with `params.key = "featured"` instead.
+- Order within a named-route group doesn't matter for URL generation. Named routes are a keyed lookup — the name is the key, not the position.
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — config/routes.cfm"
+mapper()
+    .get(pattern="/posts/featured", to="posts##featured")
+    .resources("posts")
+    .root(to="home##index", method="get")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+```
+
+## Route model binding
+
+With `.resources(name="posts", binding=true)` — or globally via `set(routeModelBinding=true)` in `config/settings.cfm` — the router loads `params.post` from the database before your action runs. The convention is controller `posts` → model `Post` → `params.post`; override with `binding="BlogPost"` when the controller name doesn't singularize cleanly to the model. The helper runs after route dispatch but before `beforeAction` filters, so filters and actions both see the resolved instance.
+
+Member actions (`show`, `edit`, `update`, `delete`) see a pre-populated `params.post` ready to use. If the record doesn't exist, the dispatcher raises `Wheels.RecordNotFound` and renders a 404 — the controller action never runs. Without `binding=true`, `params.post` is undefined and you're expected to call `findByKey(params.key)` yourself; in development mode the framework logs a warning at dispatch time when a binding-eligible action is missing its binding.
+
+## Named routes everywhere
+
+Named routes are the one place URLs for a resource are defined, and every helper reads from that same table:
+
+- `linkTo(route="post", key=post.id, text="View")`
+- `redirectTo(route="posts")`
+- `urlFor(route="newPost")`
+- `buttonTo(route="post", key=post.id, method="delete")`
+- `startFormTag(route="post", key=post.id, method="put")`
+
+Rename the resource once in `config/routes.cfm` and every caller updates. That is the whole reason to route by name rather than by hand-written URL string.

+title: Middleware Pipeline
+description: How middleware composes before and after your controller — the built-ins, the order, and when to write your own.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 6
+---
+
+Wheels middleware is a chain of functions that wrap every request before a controller is ever instantiated. Knowing what the chain does, what ships in it, and how to extend it lets you put cross-cutting concerns — tracing, CORS, security headers, rate limiting, auth — in the one place they belong.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How the pipeline is shaped and what each link can do
+- Where to register middleware globally and per route
+- What the four built-ins cover out of the box
+- When to reach for your own middleware instead of a controller filter
+
+## The pipeline model
+
+Middleware is a chain of `(request, next)` functions. Each link inspects the incoming `request` struct, optionally calls `next(request)` to hand off to the next link, and optionally mutates the response on the way back. The last link is the framework's core handler — the piece that instantiates your controller and runs the action. Order of registration is order of execution: first registered sees the request first and sees the response last.
+
+Because the chain runs at dispatch, before any controller exists, middleware can short-circuit cheaply. A rate-limit rejection, a CORS preflight, a blocked auth attempt — each returns a response without ever paying the cost of constructing a controller, loading its filters, or hitting your action. That is the whole reason this layer exists separately from controller filters.
+
+## Where middleware registers
+
+Global middleware lives in `config/settings.cfm` as an ordered array. The order of the array *is* the pipeline.
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — config/settings.cfm"
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.RequestId(),
+    new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders(),
+    new wheels.middleware.Cors(allowOrigins="https://myapp.com"),
+    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(maxRequests=100, windowSeconds=60)
+]);
+```
+
+`RequestId` wraps everything, so the correlation ID is set before any other middleware runs and the `X-Request-ID` header is the last thing stamped on the way out.
+
+## Built-in middleware
+
+Four components ship in `wheels.middleware`:
+
+- **`RequestId`** — stamps a unique correlation ID on every request. Sets `request.wheels.requestId` for downstream code and returns an `X-Request-Id` response header for log correlation.
+- **`SecurityHeaders`** — applies OWASP response headers: `X-Frame-Options`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, `X-XSS-Protection`, `Referrer-Policy`, and optionally `Content-Security-Policy`, `Strict-Transport-Security`, and `Permissions-Policy`. HSTS auto-enables in production when left unset.
+- **`Cors`** — handles the `OPTIONS` preflight and sets `Access-Control-*` response headers. Requires an explicit `allowOrigins` — the default is empty so a missing configuration fails closed rather than opens the app to every origin.
+- **`RateLimiter`** — throttles requests per client using fixed-window, sliding-window, or token-bucket strategies. Backed by in-memory counters by default; swap to `storage="database"` for shared state across nodes.
+
+## Route-scoped middleware
+
+Middleware can also attach to a subtree of routes rather than the whole app. You declare it inside `config/routes.cfm` via `.scope(... middleware=[...])`, and it runs after the global chain only for routes inside that scope.
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — config/routes.cfm"
+mapper()
+    .scope(path="/api", middleware=["app.middleware.ApiAuth"])
+        .resources("users")
+    .end()
+.end();
+```
+
+That pattern is the right fit for an API auth check that shouldn't touch marketing pages, a tenant resolver that only applies under `/app`, or an admin guard limited to `/admin` resources. Nested scopes inherit their parent's middleware, so an `/api/v2` scope inside `/api` still sees `ApiAuth`.
+
+## Writing your own
+
+Implement `wheels.middleware.MiddlewareInterface` — a single `handle(request, next)` method returning the response string — and drop the component into `app/middleware/`. Reference it either by instance in `config/settings.cfm` or by CFC path in a route scope. That is the whole contract: inspect the request, decide whether to call `next(request)`, decide what to do with the response when it comes back.
+
+Reach for middleware when the concern is cross-cutting (every request, or every request in a subtree) and independent of your domain. Reach for a controller filter when the concern is bound to a specific controller's lifecycle — loading `@user` before a show action, say. The two tools layer cleanly; middleware runs first, filters run once the controller exists.

+
+Model-View-Controller is a layering rule: each layer owns a single kind of behavior, and the others don't reach into it. Wheels applies the rule the ActiveRecord way — models are rich, controllers are thin, views are dumb. Knowing which layer owns what tells you where every new piece of code should land.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- Where the boundary lines run between model, view, and controller
+- What each layer owns and what it should never do
+- The naming conventions that wire the layers together
+- Common violations and how to unwind them
+- Why Wheels defaults to fat models and thin controllers
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  This is the conceptual tour. The [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/) page has the hands-on version — how to write an action step by step.
+</Aside>
+
+## The three layers
+
+### Model
+
+Models own domain logic. Validations, callbacks, associations, database reads and writes, business rules, calculated values. A model knows how to load itself from the database, how to save itself back, what counts as valid, and what to do when it's saved. Everything a `Post` means as a business object lives in `app/models/Post.cfc`.
+
+Wheels models extend `Model` and follow ActiveRecord: one class per table, one instance per row. Rules about the data — "email must be unique," "published posts need a body" — are declared in `config()` and enforced on every save, no matter who called it. That's the point of putting them on the model: a validation here protects the controller, the background job, the seed script, and the test all at once.
+
+### View
+
+Views render output. An `.cfm` template in `app/views/<controller>/<action>.cfm` takes variables the action set up and turns them into HTML (or JSON, or anything else). Helpers handle formatting, forms, and links. The layout wraps the action's view with shared chrome.
+
+A view should not read the database. It should not compute business values. It should not decide what the user is allowed to see. If a view needs a sorted list of published posts, the controller builds the list and passes it in; the view loops over it. When logic starts creeping into `.cfm` files, it belongs somewhere else — usually a model method or a helper.
+
+### Controller
+
+Controllers orchestrate one request. An action reads `params`, asks models for data, decides what happened, and picks a response — render this view, redirect there, return JSON. Filters handle cross-action work like authentication or record loading. Services from the DI container handle side-effects like sending mail.
+
+Thin controllers are the goal. The ideal action is a handful of lines: a model call, a branch on success or failure, and a render or redirect. When an action gets long, the logic usually wants to move down into the model (if it's about the domain) or across into a service object in `app/lib/` (if it's about coordinating several models or external systems).
+
+## What Wheels conventions enforce
+
+Naming is the glue. The framework maps file names to classes, classes to tables, and actions to views without you wiring anything up.
+
+| You create | Wheels wires |
+|------------|--------------|
+| `app/models/Post.cfc` | Model class `Post`, table `posts`, primary key `id` |
+| `app/controllers/Posts.cfc` | Controller `Posts`, view dir `app/views/posts/`, default route via `.resources("posts")` |
+| Action `index` on `Posts` | Renders `app/views/posts/index.cfm` through `app/views/layout.cfm` |
+| `config/routes.cfm` with `.resources("posts")` | Seven routes, named `posts`/`newPost`/`post`/`editPost` |
+| `hasMany(name="comments")` on `Post` | Expects `postId` on `comments`; provides `post.comments()` + `post.createComment()` |
+
+Break the convention and you configure your way back. Rename a table, and the model needs `tableName("tbl_posts")`. Rename the primary key, and it needs `setPrimaryKey("post_id")`. The defaults exist so the common case needs no configuration — the overrides exist for the rest.
+
+## Common violations
+
+These are the patterns that turn a healthy Wheels app into a tangled one. Each is a sign that logic is in the wrong layer.
+
+- **Database calls in a view.** If a template calls `model("Post").findAll(...)`, move the call to the controller action and pass the result in. Views should receive data, not fetch it.
+- **Validation logic in a controller.** If an action checks whether `params.user.email` already exists before calling `save()`, delete the check and add `validatesUniquenessOf(property="email")` to the model. The model already runs validations on save.
+- **Business calculations sprawling across actions.** An action with five `findAll` calls, nested loops, and a total at the bottom is a service object in disguise. Extract it into `app/lib/` (for example, `app/lib/MonthlyReport.cfc`) and have the action call it.
+- **Per-action `if (params.json) { ... }` branches.** Use `provides("html,json")` in `config()` and let format detection pick the view. One action, two templates, no branching in the controller body.
+- **Logic buried in `<cfif>` chains in a view.** If a view contains multiple nested conditionals deciding what to show, either compute the decision in the controller (as a boolean variable) or extract the branch into a partial.
+
+## Why fat models
+
+Models are called from more than one place. The same `Post` class gets used by a web controller, a background job that publishes scheduled posts, a seed script that populates a dev database, and tests that exercise validations. A rule on the model runs in all four contexts. A rule in a controller runs in one.
+
+Duplicating the rule in the other three callers is the best case. Forgetting to duplicate it is the normal case, and that's how invalid data ends up in production — a background job bypasses the controller, skips a check that only lived there, and writes a row no one expected. Putting the rule on the model means there is one place to change it and one place to get it wrong. The controller shrinks, the model absorbs the responsibility it was always going to own, and every caller inherits the guarantee for free.

+title: ORM Philosophy
+description: Why Wheels models carry behavior — ActiveRecord-style ORM, fat models, and what that means for your code.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 4
+---
+
+Wheels is an ActiveRecord-style ORM: one class per table, one instance per row, and behavior attached to the row itself. That shape is inherited from Rails and shared with Laravel's Eloquent. Knowing why Wheels picks this pattern tells you where new code belongs and which mistakes the pattern invites.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What ActiveRecord and DataMapper are, and how they differ
+- Where Wheels sits on that axis
+- What ActiveRecord means in practice for your code
+- The common misreadings of the pattern
+- When to reach for a service object instead
+
+## ActiveRecord vs DataMapper
+
+In the ActiveRecord pattern, the model class *is* the row. Loading a `User` returns an object whose properties are the columns and whose methods know how to save, validate, and relate that row. You call `user.save()`, and the row updates. Validations and lifecycle hooks live on the model. Rails' `ActiveRecord::Base`, Laravel's Eloquent, and Wheels' `Model` are all in this family.
+
+In the DataMapper pattern, models are plain data objects — dumb by design — and a separate repository or mapper handles persistence. You don't call `user.save()`; you call `userRepository.save(user)`. The user object doesn't know how to save itself. Django's ORM sits closer to this end of the spectrum.
+
+Wheels is ActiveRecord. That's the lens for everything else in this section.
+
+## What this means for your code
+
+- **Models carry behavior.** A `User` has `user.authenticate(password)` as a method on the class — not a separate `AuthService.authenticate(user, password)`. The verb that acts on a user is a method on `User`.
+- **Validations live on the model.** `validatesPresenceOf("email")` is declared in `config()`, and every caller — controller, background job, seed script, test — gets the same rule enforced on every `save()`. `user.valid()` and `user.errors()` return per-instance state.
+- **Lifecycle callbacks are methods on the model.** `beforeSave`, `afterCreate`, and `beforeValidation` hang off the class. They are not external observers or event listeners wired up somewhere else; the row's lifecycle is the class's concern.
+- **Persistence is per-instance.** `user.save()`, `user.delete()`, and `user.update(email="new@example.com")` all act on the instance you're holding. There is no repository object between you and the database.
+- **Finders return instances.** `model("User").findByKey(id)` gives you a `User` object ready to call methods on. Chainable scopes, the query builder, and `findAll(include="...")` compose filters and eager-load associations without writing SQL.
+
+## What this doesn't mean
+
+The pattern is easy to over-apply. Three common misreadings:
+
+- **Models don't have to do everything.** Complex workflows belong in `app/lib/` service objects. A `Post` has `publish()`, but a `PublishingWorkflow` that coordinates five models, sends email, and queues a job belongs in `app/lib/`, called from the controller action. The models involved stay lean; the orchestration lives one layer up.
+- **Models aren't the only domain objects.** Plain CFCs in `app/lib/` are the right home for value objects (a `Money` calculator), presenters (a `UserPresenter` that formats dates for a view), and orchestration. Reaching for `Model` because "it's the only class I know how to write" is how tableless `Model` classes become a crutch for things that were never meant to be saved.
+- **Models don't have to hit the database every time.** Scopes, the chainable query builder, `include=` for eager loading, and `findEach` for batch processing all keep finders efficient. The pattern tells you where the code lives, not how often it runs.
+
+## The "fat model" pitfall
+
+When a model grows past several hundred lines, the instinct is that ActiveRecord has failed — that the domain needs a DataMapper split, a repository layer, a separate validator. The actual diagnosis is nearly always different: the model has absorbed orchestration that wasn't its job. A `User` that knows how to sign up, send emails, charge a card, sync with a CRM, and audit itself isn't a user anymore. It's a signup flow, wearing a user's clothes.
+
+The fix keeps the pattern. Extract the orchestration into `app/lib/SignupFlow.cfc` — a service object that accepts a `User` (or several models) and coordinates the cross-cutting work. The model keeps its validations, its callbacks, and the methods that act on a single row. The service keeps the multi-step logic. This is a code organization problem, not a pattern problem.

+Runs before the controller is instantiated. Each middleware gets the request struct and a `next` function. It can inspect, mutate, short-circuit, or pass through. Ordering is significant — middleware registered first sees the request first and sees the response last.
+
+Typical uses: rate limiting, CORS, security headers, request IDs, auth gate, logging.
+
+### 2. Dispatch and route match
+
+The router walks `config/routes.cfm` top-to-bottom, first match wins. A match resolves to a controller name, an action name, and a set of route params (including `params.key` from `:key` segments). Route model binding (when `binding=true` on a resource) loads `params.<singular>` from the database here — before your action runs.
+
+### 3. Controller instantiation
+
+Wheels constructs the controller component. Its `config()` method runs once, registering filters and injecting services from the DI container. Anything in `config()` is per-request setup, not per-action.
+
+### 4. beforeAction filters
+
+Registered private methods that run before the action. This is where you put cross-action logic: checking authentication, loading a parent record, enforcing ownership. A filter can call `redirectTo()` to short-circuit — the action never runs.
+
+### 5. Controller action
+
+Your code. Reads params, calls models, orchestrates the response. Sets instance variables that views read.
+
+### 6. afterAction filters
+
+Rare. Use for logging, analytics, cleanup. The response body is already determined by this point.
+
+### 7. View rendering
+
+The default behavior looks up `app/views/<controller>/<action>.cfm` and renders it through `app/views/layout.cfm`. The action can override with `renderView(action="other")` or bypass rendering entirely with `redirectTo(...)`. Helpers called from views access the same `params`, `flash`, and `session` the action saw.
+
+### 8. Response sent
+
+Headers set by middleware on the way out (security headers, CORS, request ID). The response body is written to the socket and the request is done.
+
+## Where your code hooks in
+
+| Hook | File | Runs |
+|------|------|------|
+| Middleware | `app/middleware/*.cfc`, registered in `config/settings.cfm` | Stage 1, every request |
+| Routes | `config/routes.cfm` | Stage 2 (defined once at boot) |
+| DI registration | `config/services.cfm` | Once at boot |
+| Controller filters | `config()` in `app/controllers/*.cfc` | Stage 3, per-request |
+| Filter logic | Private methods in controller | Stages 4 and 6 |
+| Action | Public method in controller | Stage 5 |
+| View | `app/views/<controller>/<action>.cfm` | Stage 7 |
+| Helpers | `app/views/helpers.cfm` and globals | Stage 7 (called from views) |
+
+## Why the order matters
+
+**Middleware runs before the controller exists.** That's why rate limiting and auth checks go there — they can reject a request without paying the cost of instantiating a controller.
+
+**`beforeAction` filters run after `config()`.** That's why they can rely on injected services (`this.emailService`) — the DI container has already resolved them.
+
+**View rendering is inside the request, not after it.** Helpers and views see the same `params`, `flash`, and `session` the action saw. A view is not a separate subprocess.
+
+**`redirectTo()` in a filter skips everything below.** Auth check fails → `redirectTo("login")` → no action, no view, just a 302 response. Filters can short-circuit cleanly.
+
+## When something breaks
+
+Common symptoms and which stage caused them:
+
+- **`Route not found`** — stage 2 (dispatch) couldn't match the URL against `routes.cfm`. Check order: resources before root before wildcard.
+- **`Component X has no public method Y`** — stage 5. The action isn't declared on the controller, or the controller wasn't reloaded (`wheels reload`).
+- **`params.post is undefined` in show/edit/update/delete** — stage 2 route model binding wasn't enabled. Set `binding=true` on the resource, or set the global `routeModelBinding=true` in `config/settings.cfm`. Wheels prints a dev-mode warning hinting at this.
+- **Blank page but `curl -I` shows 200** — stage 7 couldn't find the view file. The path is `app/views/<controller>/<action>.cfm` all lowercase.
+- **Redirect happens but you expected a render** — a filter (stage 4) or the action itself called `redirectTo()` and short-circuited. Check the filters list in `config()`.
+- **CORS error in browser, curl works fine** — stage 1 Cors middleware isn't registered, or its `allowOrigins` doesn't include the browser's origin.

-title: Associations
-description: >-
-  Through some simple configuration, Wheels allows you to unlock some powerful
-  functionality to use your database tables' relationships in your code.
----
-
-# Associations
-
-_Associations_ in Wheels allow you to define the relationships between your database tables. After configuring these relationships, doing pesky table joins becomes a trivial task. And like all other ORM functions in Wheels, this is done without writing a single line of SQL.
-
-### 3 Types of Associations
-
-In order to set up associations, you only need to remember 3 simple methods. Considering that the human brain only reliably remembers up to 7 items, we've left you with a lot of extra space. You're welcome. :)
-
-The association methods should always be called in the `config()` method of a model that relates to another model within your application.
-
-### The belongsTo Association
-
-If your database table contains a field that is a foreign key to another table, then this is where to use the [belongsTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.belongsto.html) function.
-
-If we had a comments table that contains a foreign key to the posts table called `postid`, then we would have this `config()` method within our comment model:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/comment.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        belongsTo("post");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### The hasOne and hasMany Associations
-
-On the other side of the relationship are the "has" functions. As you may have astutely guessed, these functions should be used according to the nature of the model relationship.
-
-At this time, you need to be a little eccentric and talk to yourself. Your association should make sense in plain English language.
-
-### An example of hasMany
-
-So let's consider the `post / comment` relationship mentioned above for `belongsTo()`. If we were to talk to ourselves, we would say, "A post has many comments." And that's how you should construct your post model:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/Post.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        hasMany("comments");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-You may be a little concerned because our model is called `comment` and not `comments`. No need to worry: Wheels understands the need for the plural in conjunction with the `hasMany()` method.
-
-And don't worry about those pesky words in the English language that aren't pluralized by just adding an "s" to the end. Wheels is smart enough to know that words like "deer" and "children" are the plurals of "deer" and "child," respectively.
-
-### An Example of hasOne
-
-The [hasOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasone.html) association is not used as often as the [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html) association, but it has its use cases. The most common use case is when you have a large table that you have broken down into two or more smaller tables (a.k.a. denormalization) for performance reasons or otherwise.
-
-Let's consider an association between `user` and `profile`. A lot of websites allow you to enter required info such as name and email but also allow you to add optional information such as age, salary, and so on. These can of course be stored in the same table. But given the fact that so much information is optional, it would make sense to have the required info in a `users` table and the optional info in a `profiles` table. This gives us a `hasOne()` relationship between these two models: "A user _has one_ profile."
-
-In this case, our `profile` model would look like this:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/profile.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        belongsTo("user");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-And our user model would look like this:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/user.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        hasOne("profile");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-As you can see, you do not pluralize "profile" in this case because there is only one profile.
-
-By the way, as you can see above, the association goes both ways, i.e. a `user hasOne() profile`, and a `profile belongsTo()` a `user`. Generally speaking, all associations should be set up this way. This will give you the fullest API to work with in terms of the methods and arguments that Wheels makes available for you.
-
-However, this is not a definite requirement. Wheels associations are completely independent of one another, so it's perfectly OK to setup a [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html) association without specifying the related [belongsTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.belongsto.html) association.
-
-### Dependencies
-
-A dependency is when an associated model relies on the existence of its parent. In the example above, a `profile` is dependent on a `user`. When you delete the `user`, you would usually want to delete the `profile` as well.
-
-Wheels makes this easy for you. When setting up your association, simply add the argument `dependent` with one of the following values, and Wheels will automatically deal with the dependency.
-
-In your `model.cfc` file's `config()` function:
-
-```javascript
-// Instantiates the `profile` model and calls its `delete()` method.
-hasOne(name="profile", dependent="delete");
-
-// Quickly deletes the `profile` without instantiating it.
-hasOne(name="profile", dependent="deleteAll");
-
-// Sets the `userId` of the profile to `NULL`.
-hasOne(name="profile", dependent="remove");
-
-// Sets the `userId` of the profile to `NULL` (without instantiation).
-hasOne(name="profile", dependent="removeAll");
-```
-
-You can create dependencies on `hasOne()` and `hasMany()` associations, but not `belongsTo()`.
-
-### Self-Joins
-
-It's possible for a model to be associated to itself. Take a look at the below setup where an employee belongs to a manager for example:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/employee.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        belongsTo(name="manager", modelName="employee", foreignKey="managerId");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Both the manager and employee are stored in the same `employees` table and share the same `Employee` model.
-
-When you use this association in your code, the `employees` table will be joined to itself using the `managerid` column. Wheels will handle the aliasing of the (otherwise duplicated) table names. It does this by using the pluralized version of the name you gave the association (in other words "managers" in this case).
-
-This is important to remember because if you, for example, want to select the manager's name, you will have to do so manually (Wheels won't do this for you, like it does with normal associations) using the `select` argument.
-
-Here's an example of how to select both the name of the employee and their manager:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/employees.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
- function index() {
-
-   employees = model("employee").findAll(include="manager", select="employees.name, managers.name AS managerName");
-
- }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Know Your Joins
-
-Because the default `joinType` for `belongsTo()` is `inner`, employees without a manager assigned to them will not be returned in the `findAll()` call above. To return all rows you can set `jointype` to `outer` instead.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Database Table Setup
-
-Like everything else in Wheels, we strongly recommend a default naming convention for foreign key columns in your database tables.
-
-In this case, the convention is to use the singular name of the related table with `id` appended to the end. So to link up our table to the `employees` table, the foreign key column should be named `employeeid`.
-
-### Breaking the Convention
-
-Wheels offers a way to configure your models to break this naming convention, however. This is done by using the `foreignKey` argument in your models' `belongsTo()` calls.
-
-Let's pretend that you have a relationship between `author` and `post`, but you didn't use the naming convention and instead called the column `author_id`. (You just can't seem to let go of the underscores, can you?)
-
-Your post's `config()` method would then need to look like this:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/post.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        belongsTo(name="author", foreignKey="author_id");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-You can keep your underscores if it's your preference or if it's required of your application.
-
-### Leveraging Model Associations in Your Application
-
-Now that we have our associations set up, let's use them to get some data into our applications.
-
-There are a couple ways to join data via associations, which we'll go over now.
-
-### Using the include Argument in findAll()
-
-To join data from related tables in our [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) calls, we simply need to use the include argument. Let's say that we wanted to include data about the author in our  [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) call for `posts`.
-
-Here's what that call would look like:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/posts.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
- function index() {
-
-   posts = model("post").findAll(include="author");
-
- }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-It's that simple. Wheels will then join the `authors` table automatically so that you can use that data along with the data from `posts`.
-
-Note that if you switch the above statement around like this:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/authors.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
- function index() {
-
-  authors = model("author").findAll(include="posts");
-
- }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Then you would need to specify "post" in its plural form, "posts." If you're thinking about when to use the singular form and when to use the plural form, just use the one that seems most natural.
-
-If you look at the two examples above, you'll see that in example #1, you're asking for all posts including each post's **author** (hence the singular "author"). In example #2, you're asking for all authors and all of the **posts** written by each author (hence the plural "posts").
-
-You're not limited to specifying just one association in the `include` argument. You can for example return data for `authors`, `posts`, and `bios` in one call like this:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/authors.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
- function index() {
-
-   authorsPostsAndComments = model("author").findAll(include="posts,bio");
-
- }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-To include several tables, simply delimit the names of the models with a comma. All models should contain related associations, or else you'll get a mountain of repeated data back.
-
-### Joining Tables Through a Chain of Associations
-
-When you need to include tables more than one step away in a chain of joins, you will need to start using parenthesis. Look at the following example:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/comments.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
- function index() {
-
-   commentsPostsAndAuthors = model("comment").findAll(include="post(author)");
-
- }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The use of parentheses above tells Wheels to look for an association named `author` on the `post` model instead of on the `comment` model. (Looking at the `comment` model is the default behavior when not using parenthesis.)
-
-### Handling Column Naming Collisions
-
-There is a minor caveat to this approach. If you have a column in both associated tables with the same name, Wheels will pick just one to represent that column.
-
-In order to include both columns, you can override this behavior with the `select` argument in the finder functions.
-
-For example, if we had a column named `name` in both your `posts` and `authors` tables, then you could use the `select` argument like so:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/posts.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function index() {
-
-        posts = model("post").findAll(
-            select="posts.name, authors.id, authors.post_id, authors.name AS authorname",
-            include="author"
-        );
-
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-You would need to hard-code all column names that you need in that case, which does remove some of the simplicity. There are always trade-offs!
-
-### Using Dynamic Shortcut Methods
-
-A cool feature of Wheels is the ability to use _dynamic shortcut_ methods to work with the models you have set up associations for. By dynamic, we mean that the name of the method depends on what name you have given the association when you set it up. By shortcut, we mean that the method usually delegates the actual processing to another Wheels method but gives you, the developer, an easier way to achieve the task (and makes your code more readable in the process).
-
-As usual, this will make more sense when put into the context of an example. So let's do that right now.
-
-### Example: Dynamic Shortcut Methods for Posts and Comments
-
-Let's say that you tell Wheels through a [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html) call that a `post` _has many_ `comments`. What happens then is that Wheels will enrich the post model by adding a bunch of useful methods related to this association.
-
-If you wanted to get all `comments` that have been submitted for a `post`, you can now call `post.comments()`. In the background, Wheels will delegate this to a [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) call with the `where` argument set to `postid=#post.id#`.
-
-### Listing of Dynamic Shortcut Methods
-
-Here are all the methods that are added for the three possible association types.
-
-**Methods Added by hasMany**
-
-Given that you have told Wheels that a `post` _has many_ `comments` through a [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html) call, here are the methods that will be made available to you on the `post` model.
-
-Replace `[associationName]` below with the name of the associated model (i.e. `comments` in the case of the example that we're using here).
-
-| Method         | Example                     | Description                                                                                                                                                                           |

-| has[AssociationName]()       | post.hasComments()          | Returns true if the post has any comments associated with it. Similar to calling `model("comment").exists(where="postid=#post.id#")`.                                                 |
-| findOne[AssociationName]()   | post.findOneComment()       | Returns one of the associated comments. Similar to calling `model("comment").findOne(where="postid=#post.id#")`.                                                                      |
-
-**Methods Added by hasOne**
-
-The [hasOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasone.html) association adds a few methods as well. Most of them are very similar to the ones added by [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html).
-
-Given that you have told Wheels that an `author` _has one_ `profile` through a [hasOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasone.html) call, here are the methods that will be made available to you on the `author` model.
-
-| Method      | Example                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
-| ----------- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| [associationName]()       | author.profile()           | Returns the profile where the foreign key matches the author's primary key value. Similar to calling model("profile").findOne(where="authorid=#author.id#").                                                                                                                                              |
-| set[AssociationName]()    | author.setProfile(profile) | Sets the profile to be associated with the author by setting its foreign key to the author's primary key value.

-| remove[AssociationName]() | author.removeProfile()     | Removes the profile from the author association by setting its foreign key to NULL.

-
-**Methods Added by belongsTo**
-
-The [belongsTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.belongsto.html) association adds a couple of methods to your model as well.
-
-Given that you have told Wheels that a `comment` belongs to a `post` through a [belongsTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.belongsto.html) call, here are the methods that will be made available to you on the `comment` model.
-
-| Method   | Example           | Description                                                                                                                                 |
-| -------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| [associationName]()    | comment.post()    | Returns the post where the primary key matches the comment's foreign key value. Similar to calling model("post").findByKey(comment.postid). |
-| has[AssociationName]() | comment.hasPost() | Returns true if the comment has a post associated with it. Similar to calling model("post").exists(comment.postid).                         |
-
-One general rule for all of the methods above is that you can always supply any argument that is accepted by the method that the processing is delegated to. This means that you can, for example, call `post.comments(order="createdAt DESC")`, and the `order` argument will be passed along to `findAll()`.
-
-Another rule is that whenever a method accepts an object as its first argument, you also have the option of supplying the primary key value instead. This means that `author.setProfile(profile)` will perform the same task as `author.setProfile(1)`. (Of course, we're assuming that the `profile` object in this example has a primary key value of `1`.)
-
-### Performance of Dynamic Association Finders
-
-You may be concerned that using a dynamic finder adds yet another database call to your application.
-
-If it makes you feel any better, all calls in your Wheels request that generate the same SQL queries will be cached for that request. No need to worry about the performance implications of making multiple calls to the same `author.posts()` call in the scenario above, for example.
-
-### Passing Arguments to Dynamic Shortcut Methods
-
-You can also pass arguments to dynamic shortcut methods where applicable. For example, with the `[associationName]()` method, perhaps we'd want to limit a `post`'s comment listing to just ones created today. We can pass a `where` argument similar to what is passed to the `findAll()` function that powers `[associationName]()` behind the scenes.
-
-```javascript
-today = DateFormat(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd");
-comments = post.comments(where="createdAt >= '#today# 00:00:00'");
-```
-
-### Many-to-Many Relationships
-
-We can use the same 3 association functions to set up many-to-many table relationships in our models. It follows the same logic as the descriptions mentioned earlier in this chapter, so let's jump right into an example.
-
-Let's say that we wanted to set up a relationship between `customers` and `publications`. A `customer` can be subscribed to many `publications`, and `publications` can be subscribed to by many `customers`. In our database, this relationship is linked together by a third table called `subscriptions` (sometimes called a bridge entity by ERD snobs).
-
-### Setting up the Models
-
-Here are the representative models:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/Customer.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        hasMany("subscriptions");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% code title="/app/models/Publication.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-        hasMany("subscriptions");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% code title="/app/models/Subscription.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function config() {
-      belongsTo("customer");
-      belongsTo("publication");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This assumes that there are foreign key columns in `subscriptions` called `customerid` and `publicationid`.
-
-### Using Finders with a Many-to-Many Relationship
-
-At this point, it's still fairly easy to get data from the many-to-many association that we have set up above.
-
-We can include the related tables from the `subscription` bridge entity to get the same effect:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/subscriptions.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
- function index() {
-
-   subscriptions = model("subscription").findAll(include="customer,publication");
-
- }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Creating a Shortcut for a Many-to-Many Relationship
-
-With the `shortcut` argument to [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html), you can have Wheels create a dynamic method that lets you bypass the join model and instead reference the model on the other end of the many-to-many relationship directly.
-
-For our example above, you can alter the [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html) call on the `customer` model to look like this instead:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/customer.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
- function config() {
-    hasMany(name="subscriptions", shortcut="publications");
- }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Now you can get a customer's publications directly by using code like this:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/customers.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
- function edit() {
-
-   customer = model("customer").findByKey(params.key);
-   publications = customer.publications();
-
- }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This functionality relies on having set up all the appropriate [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html) and [belongsTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.belongsto.html) associations in all 3 models (like we have in our example in this chapter).
-
-It also relies on the association names being consistent, but if you have customized your association names, you can specify exactly which associations the shortcut method should use with the `through` argument.
-
-The `through` argument accepts a list of 2 association names. The first argument is the name of the [belongsTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.belongsto.html)association (set in the `subscription` model in this case), and the second argument is the [hasMany()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.hasmany.html) association going back the other way (set in the `publication` model).
-
-Sound complicated? That's another reason to stick to the conventions whenever possible: it keeps things simple.
-
-### Are You Still with Us?
-
-As you just read, Wheels offers a ton of functionality to make your life easier in working with relational databases. Be sure to give some of these techniques a try in your next Wheels application, and you'll be amazed at how little code that you'll need to write to interact with your database.

-title: Automatic Time Stamps
-description: Let Wheels handle time stamping of records.
----
-
-# Automatic Time Stamps
-
-When working with database tables, it is very common to have a column that holds the time that the record was added or last modified. If you have an e-commerce website with an orders table, you want to store the date and time the order was made; if you run a blog, you want to know when someone left a comment; and so on.
-
-As with anything that is a common task performed by many developers, it makes a good candidate for abstracting to the framework level. So that's what we did.
-
-### Columns Used for Timestamps
-
-If you have either of the following columns in your database table, Wheels will see them and treat them a little differently than others.
-
-**createdat**
-
-Wheels will use a `createdat` column automatically to store the current date and time when an `INSERT`operation is made (which could happen through a [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) or [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html) operation, for example).
-
-**updatedat**
-
-If Wheels sees an `updatedat` column, it will use it to store the current date and time automatically when an `UPDATE` operation is made (which could happen through a [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) or [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html) operation, for example).
-
-### Data Type of Columns
-
-If you add any of these columns to your table, make sure they can accept date/time values (like `datetime` or `timestamp`, for example) and that they can be set to `null`.
-
-### Time Zones
-
-Time stamping is done in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) by default but if you want to use your local time instead all you have to do is change the global setting for it like this:
-
-`set(timeStampMode="local");`

-title: Batch Processing
----
-# Batch Processing
-
-When working with large datasets, loading all records into memory at once can cause performance problems or even crash your application. Wheels provides two batch processing methods that iterate through records in manageable chunks: `findEach()` and `findInBatches()`.
-
-## findEach()
-
-Processes records **one at a time** via a callback function. Internally, records are fetched in batches (default 1000) but your callback receives individual model objects.
-
-```cfm
-model("User").findEach(
-    order = "id",
-    callback = function(user) {
-        user.sendReminderEmail();
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
-|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `callback` | function | *required* | Closure receiving each record as a model object (or struct) |
-| `batchSize` | numeric | 1000 | Number of records fetched per internal query |
-| `where` | string | `""` | SQL WHERE clause to filter records |
-| `order` | string | primary key ASC | Sort order (defaults to primary key for consistent pagination) |
-| `include` | string | `""` | Associated models to include |
-| `select` | string | `""` | Columns to select |
-| `returnAs` | string | `"object"` | Set to `"struct"` to receive structs instead of objects |
-| `includeSoftDeletes` | boolean | `false` | Include soft-deleted records |
-
-### Examples
-
-**Filter with a WHERE clause:**
-
-```cfm
-model("Order").findEach(
-    where = "status = 'pending'",
-    batchSize = 500,
-    callback = function(order) {
-        order.update(status = "processing");
-    }
-);
-```
-
-**With associated models:**
-
-```cfm
-model("User").findEach(
-    include = "profile",
-    callback = function(user) {
-        writeOutput(user.profile.bio);
-    }
-);
-```
-
-## findInBatches()
-
-Processes records **in groups**. Your callback receives the entire batch as a query result set (or array of objects/structs).
-
-```cfm
-model("User").findInBatches(
-    order = "id",
-    batchSize = 500,
-    callback = function(users) {
-        // `users` is a query with up to 500 rows
-        processBatch(users);
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
-|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `callback` | function | *required* | Closure receiving each batch |
-| `batchSize` | numeric | 500 | Number of records per batch |
-| `where` | string | `""` | SQL WHERE clause to filter records |
-| `order` | string | primary key ASC | Sort order |
-| `include` | string | `""` | Associated models to include |
-| `select` | string | `""` | Columns to select |
-| `returnAs` | string | `"query"` | Set to `"objects"` or `"structs"` for arrays |
-| `includeSoftDeletes` | boolean | `false` | Include soft-deleted records |
-
-### Examples
-
-**Export data in chunks:**
-
-```cfm
-model("Transaction").findInBatches(
-    where = "year(createdAt) = 2025",
-    order = "createdAt",
-    batchSize = 1000,
-    callback = function(batch) {
-        writeToCSV(batch);
-    }
-);
-```
-
-**Receive objects instead of a query:**
-
-```cfm
-model("Product").findInBatches(
-    batchSize = 100,
-    returnAs = "objects",
-    callback = function(products) {
-        for (var product in products) {
-            product.recalculatePrice();
-            product.save();
-        }
-    }
-);
-```
-
-## Using with Scopes
-
-Both methods work with query scopes when called through a scope chain:
-
-```cfm
-model("User").active().findEach(
-    batchSize = 500,
-    callback = function(user) {
-        user.sendNewsletter();
-    }
-);
-```
-
-## Choosing Between findEach and findInBatches
-
-| Use Case | Method |
-|----------|--------|
-| Need to process or update individual records | `findEach()` |
-| Bulk operations on groups of records (CSV export, API calls) | `findInBatches()` |
-| Need model callbacks (save, update) on each record | `findEach()` |
-| Need to pass batches to external services | `findInBatches()` |

-title: Calculated Properties
-description: >-
-  Generate extra properties in your models on the fly without needing to store
-  redundant data in your database.
----
-
-# Calculated Properties
-
-### Working within CFML's Constraints to Deliver OOP-like Functionality
-
-Wheels makes up for the slowness of arrays of objects in CFML by providing _calculated properties_. With calculated properties, you can generate additional properties on the fly based on logic and data within your database.
-
-### Example #1: Full Name
-
-Consider the example of `fullName`. If your database table has fields for `firstName` and `lastName`, it wouldn't make sense to store a third column called `fullName`. This would require more storage for redundant data, and it would add extra complexity that could lead to bugs and maintenance problems in the future.
-
-#### Traditional Object-Oriented Calculations
-
-In most object-oriented languages, you would add a method to your class called `getFullName()`, which would return the concatenation of `this.firstName & " " & this.lastName`. The `getFullName()` method could potentially provide arguments to list the last name first and other types of calculations or transformations as well.
-
-Wheels still allows for you to do this sort of dynamic calculation with the `returnAs="objects"` argument in methods like [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html), but we advise against it when fetching large data sets because of the slowness of `CreateObject()` across CFML engines.
-
-See the chapter on [Reading Records](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/reading-records) for more information.
-
-#### Using Calculated Properties to Generate fullName in the Database at Runtime
-
-As an alternative, you can set up a calculated property that dynamically performs the concatenation at the database level. In our example, we would write a line similar to this in our model's `config()` method:
-
-```javascript
-property(
-        name="fullName",
-        sql="RTRIM(LTRIM(ISNULL(users.firstname, '') + ' '
-            + ISNULL(users.lastname, '')))"
-    );
-```
-
-As you can probably deduce, we're creating a SQL statement that will be run in the `SELECT` clause to generate the fullName.
-
-With this line in place, `fullName` will become available in both full model objects and query objects returned by the various finder methods like [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) and [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html).
-
-### Example #2: Age
-
-Naturally, if you store the user's birth date in the database, your application can use that data to dynamically calculate the user's age. Your app always knows how many years old the user is without needing to explicitly store his or her age.
-
-#### Creating the Calculated Property for Age
-
-In order to calculate an extra property called `age` based on the `birthDate` column, our calculated property in `config()` may look something like this:
-
-Example Code
-
-```javascript
-property(
-        name="age",
-        sql="(CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112) AS INT)
-            - CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(8), users.date_of_birth, 112) AS INT))
-            / 10000"
-);
-```
-
-Much like the `fullName` example above, this will cause the database to add a property called `age` storing the user's age as an integer.
-
-Note that the cost to this approach is that you may need to introduce DBMS-specific code into your models. This may cause problems when you need to switch DBMS platforms, but at least all of this logic is isolated into your model CFCs.
-
-#### Using the New age Property for Other Database Calculations
-
-Calculated properties don't end at just generating extra properties. You can now also use the new property for additional calculations:
-
-* Creating additional properties with the `select` argument
-* Additional `where` clause calculations
-* Record sorting with `order`
-* Pagination
-* And so on…
-
-For example, let's say that we only want to use `age` to return users who are in their 20s. We can use the new `age`property as if it existed in the database table. For extra measure, let's also sort the results from oldest to youngest.
-
-Example Code
-
-```javascript
-users = model("user").findAll(
-        where="age >= 20 AND age < 30", order="age DESC"
-);
-```
-
-### Specifying a Data Type
-
-By default, calculated properties will return `char` as the column data type. Whilst this covers most scenarios, if you want to return something like a date, it can be problematic. Thankfully we can just specify a `dataType` argument to return the appropriate data type.
-
-```javascript
-property(
-  name="createdAtAlias",
-  sql="posts.createdat", 
-  dataType="datetime"
-);
-```

-title: Column Statistics
-description: >-
-  Use Wheels to get statistics on the values in a column, like row counts,
-  averages, highest values, lowest values, and sums.
----
-
-# Column Statistics
-
-Since Wheels simplifies so much for you when you select, insert, update, and delete rows from the database, it would be a little annoying if you had to revert back to using `cfquery` and `COUNT(id) AS x` type queries when you wanted to get aggregate values, right?
-
-Well, good news. Of course you don't need to do this; just use the built-in functions [sum()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.sum.html), [minimum()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.minimum.html), [maximum()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.maximum.html), [average()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.average.html) and [count()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.count.html).
-
-Let's start with the [count()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.count.html) function, shall we?
-
-### Counting Rows
-
-To count how many rows you have in your `authors` table, simply do this:
-
-```javascript
-authorCount = model("author").count();
-```
-
-What if you only want to count authors with a last name starting with "A"? Like the [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) function, [count()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.count.html) will accept a `where` argument, so you can do this:
-
-```javascript
-authorCount = model("author").count(where="lastName LIKE 'A%'");
-```
-
-Simple enough. But what if you wanted to count only authors in the USA, and that information is stored in a different table? Let's say you have stored country information in a table called `profiles` and also setup a `hasOne` / `belongsTo` association between the `author` and `profile` models.
-
-Just like in the [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) function, you can now use the `include` argument to reference other tables.
-
-In our case, the code would end up looking something like this:
-
-```javascript
-authorCount = model("author").count(include="profile", where="countryId=1 AND lastName LIKE 'A%'");
-```
-
-Or, if you care more about readability than performance, why not just join in the `countries` table as well?
-
-```javascript
-authorCount = model("author").count(include="profile(country)", where="name='USA' AND lastName LIKE 'A%'");
-```
-
-In the background, these functions all perform SQL that looks like this:
-
-{% code title="MySQL" %}
-```sql
-SELECT COUNT(*)
-FROM authors
-WHERE ...
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-However, if you include a `hasMany` association, Wheels will be smart enough to add the `DISTINCT` keyword to the SQL. This makes sure that you're only counting unique rows.
-
-For example, the following method call:
-
-```javascript
-authorCount = model("author").count(include="books", where="title LIKE 'Wheels%'");
-```
-
-Will execute this SQL (presuming `id` is the primary key of the `authors` table and the correct associations have been setup):
-
-{% code title="MySQL" %}
-```sql
-SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT authors.id)
-FROM authors LEFT OUTER JOIN books ON authors.id = books.authorid
-WHERE ..
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-OK, so now we've covered the [count()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.count.html) function, but there are a few other functions you can use as well to get column statistics.
-
-### Getting an Average
-
-You can use the [average()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.average.html) function to get the average value on any given column. The difference between this function and the [count()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.count.html) function is that this operates on a single column, while the [count()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.count.html) function operates on complete records. Therefore, you need to pass in the name of the property you want to get an average for.
-
-The same goes for the remaining column statistics functions as well; they all accept the `property` argument.
-
-Here's an example of getting the average salary in a specific department:
-
-```javascript
-avgSalary = model("employee").average(property="salary", where="departmentId=1");
-```
-
-You can also pass in `distinct=true` to this function if you want to include only each unique instance of a value in the average calculation.
-
-### Getting the Highest and Lowest Values
-
-To get the highest and lowest values for a property, you can use the [minimum()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.minimum.html) and [maximum()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.maximum.html) functions.
-
-They are pretty self explanatory, as you can tell by the following examples:
-
-```javascript
-highestSalary = model("employee").maximum("salary");
-lowestSalary = model("employee").minimum("salary");
-```
-
-### Getting the Sum of All Values
-
-The last of the column statistics functions is the [sum()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.sum.html) function.
-
-As you have probably already figured out, [sum()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.sum.html) adds all values for a given property and returns the result. You can use the same arguments as with the other functions (`property, where, include`, and `distinct`).
-
-Let's wrap up this chapter on a happy note by getting the total dollar amount you've made:
-
-```javascript
-howRichAmI = model("invoice").sum("billedAmount");
-```
-
-### Grouping Your Results
-
-All of the methods we've covered in this chapter accepts the `group` argument. Let's build on the example with getting the average salary for a department above, but this time, let's get the average for all departments instead.
-
-```javascript
-avgSalaries = model("employee").average(property="salary", group="departmentId");
-```
-
-When you choose to group results like this you get a `cfquery` result set back, as opposed to a single value.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Limited Support
-
-The `group` argument is currently only supported on SQL Server and MySQL databases.
-{% endhint %}

-title: Creating Records
-description: How to create new objects and save them to the database.
----
-
-# Creating Records
-
-In Wheels, one way to create objects that represent records in our table is by calling the [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html) class-level method.
-
-```javascript
-newAuthor = model("author").new();
-```
-
-We now have an empty `Author` object that we can start filling in properties for. These properties correspond with the columns in the `authors` database table, unless you have mapped them specifically to columns with other names (or mapped to an entirely different table).
-
-```javascript
-newAuthor.firstName = "John";
-newAuthor.lastName = "Doe";
-```
-
-At this point, the `newAuthor` object only exists in memory. We save it to the database by calling its [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) method.
-
-```javascript
-newAuthor.save();
-```
-
-### Creating Based on a Struct
-
-If you want to create a new object based on parameters sent in from a form request, the [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html) method conveniently accepts a struct as well. As we'll see later, when you use the Wheels form helpers, they automatically turn your form variables into a struct that you can pass into [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html) and other methods.
-
-Given that `params.newAuthor` is a struct containing the `firstName` and `lastName` variables, the code below does the same as the code above (without saving it though).
-
-```javascript
-newAuthor = model("author").new(params.newAuthor);
-```
-
-### Saving Straight to the Database
-
-If you want to save a new author to the database right away, you can use the [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html) method instead.
-
-{% code title="" %}
-```javascript
-model("author").create(params.newAuthor);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### The Primary Key
-
-Note that if we have opted to have the database create the primary key for us (which is usually done by auto-incrementing it), it will be available automatically after the object has been saved.
-
-This means you can read the value by doing something like this. (This example assumes you have an auto-incrementing `integer` column named `id` as the primary key.)
-
-```javascript
-<cfscript>
-newAuthor = model("author").new();
-newAuthor.firstName = "Joe";
-newAuthor.lastName = "Jones";
-newAuthor.save();
-</cfscript>
-<cfoutput>#newAuthor.id#</cfoutput>
-```
-
-Don't forget that you can name your primary key whatever you want, and you can even use composite keys, natural keys, non auto-incrementing, and so on.
-
-No matter which method you prefer, Wheels will use database introspection to see how your table is structured and act accordingly.
-
-### Using Database Defaults
-
-The best way of handling model defaults is usually by setting a default constraint in your database. When Wheels saves the model to the database, it will automatically insert the default value if you haven't provided one within your model.
-
-However, unlike the primary key, Wheels will not automatically load database defaults after saving as it requires an additional database call and in most cases is not required. (After saving, the most common action is to redirect, in which case you would reload the newly saved model in the next request anyway.)
-
-Of course, if you do need to access the database default immediately after saving, Wheels allows this. Simply add `reload=true` to the [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html), [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html), or [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) methods:
-
-```javascript
-newAuthor = model("author").new();
-newAuthor.firstName = "Joe";
-newAuthor.lastName = "Jones";
-newAuthor.save(reload=true);
-```
-
-### Using Model Defaults
-
-Sometimes a database default isn't the most appropriate solution because the value is only set after the model has been inserted. If you want to set a default value when it is first created with [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html) or [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html), then you can pass the `defaultValue` argument of the [property()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.property.html) method used in your model's `config()` block.
-
-```javascript
-property(name="welcomeText", defaultValue="Hello world!");
-```
-
-This is effectively the same as doing this:
-
-```javascript
-model("myModel").new(welcomeText="Hello world!");
-```
-
-..except you only need to set it once per model.

-title: Database Migrations
-description: >-
-  Database Migrations are an easy way to build and alter your database structure
-  using cfscript and even deploy across different database engines
----
-
-# Database Migrations
-
-Wheels allows you to create, alter and populate your database via cfscript in an organized manner. Using custom CFC files, you can create an organized database schema, and move between versions easily, either programmatically, via the provided GUI, or via the CLI.&#x20;
-
-### Getting Started
-
-If you're new to this concept, the best way to get going is by following the `[Migrator]` link in the debug footer to load the built in GUI. Naturally, you will need your application's datasource setup and ready to go to get started.
-
-![](/wheels/guides-assets/cc70cb0-dbmigrate\_1.png)
-
-You can go to the `info` tab in the navbar and you will see a `Database` section, just so you can check you're running against the correct datasource. We're going to start by creating a simple template.
-
-### Creating your First Template
-
-The Templating tab allows for creation of either a blank CFC file, or from a selection of pre-populated templates. Whilst none of these templates will provide all the information required for a complete database migration, they are a good starting point and fairly heavily commented.
-
-![](/wheels/guides-assets/a70878e-dbmigrate\_2.png)
-
-As we've not setup any migrations before, the system needs to know what prefix we want to use for our migration files. Each approach - `Timestamp` and `Numeric` is perfectly valid, but we recommend the `Timestamp` prefix if you're just starting out. Once you have a migration file, this section will disappear as it will get that info from the existing files.
-
-For this tutorial, we're going to create the `users` table. So under `Create a Template`, we will select `Create table` and add a description of `Create User Table`.
-
-Clicking on `Create Migration File` will then create a CFC at `/app/migrator/migrations/20170420100502_Create_User_Table.cfc`. The system will also display all messages at the bottom of the GUI whenever it does something - so for this command, we see `The migration 20170420100502_Create_User_Table.cfc file was created`
-
-### Populating the Create User Table Template
-
-Next, open up the `Create_User_Table.cfc` template we just created. There are two functions to any migration file: `up()` and `down()`.
-
-`up()` will be executed when migrating your schema forward, and `down()` when you're rolling back.
-
-The important concept to grasp is that **anything which up() does, down() must undo**.
-
-{% code title="up()" %}
-```javascript
-function up() {
-	transaction {
-		try {
-			t = createTable(name = 'tableName');
-			t.timestamps();
-			t.create();
-		} catch (any e) {
-			local.exception = e;
-		}
-
-		if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
-			transaction action="rollback";
-			Throw(errorCode = "1", detail = local.exception.detail, message = local.exception.message, type = "any");
-		} else {
-			transaction action="commit";
-		}
-	}
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Our default `up()` function will look something like this. Most of it you can actually ignore, as it's just wrapped in a transaction with some error handling. The important lines to look at are:
-
-{% code title="up()" %}
-```javascript
-t = createTable(name='tableName');
-t.timestamps();
-t.create();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-`createTable()` is the command to actually make the table: so we need to change this to `users`.
-
-{% code title="up()" %}
-```javascript
-t = createTable(name='users');
-t.timestamps();
-t.create();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-`t.timestamps();` creates Wheels [automatic timestamp](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/automatic-time-stamps) columns of `createdAt`,`updatedAt` and `deletedAt`.
-
-The `t.create();` is the final statement which executes the actual action.
-
-### What goes up...
-
-Remember, the `down()` function needs to reverse these changes. so in our `down()` code block, we're going to change the `dropTable('tableName');` to \`dropTable('users');
-
-### Adding additional columns
-
-Whilst we could execute this template in it's current state (we have an up function which creates, and a down function which drops) we wouldn't get much in the actual table. We can use the same migration file to add additional lines to create some columns to store things like `firstname`. Here's an example of a slightly more fleshed out migration file to give you some inspiration:
-
-{% code title="up()" %}
-```javascript
-t = createTable(name='users');
-t.string(
- columnNames='firstname,lastname,password',
- default='', allowNull=false, limit='60');
-
-t.string(
- columnNames='username,passwordresettoken,apikey',
- default='', allowNull=true, limit='60');
-
-t.string(
- columnNames='email,address1,address2,city,county,country,tel,www',
- default='', allowNull=true, limit='255');
-
-t.string(
- columnNames='title,postcode,lang,locale,timezone',
- default='', allowNull=true, limit='15');
-
-t.integer(columnNames='roleid', default='0', allowNull=false, limit='11');
-t.datetime(columnNames='pwresettokenat', default='', allowNull=true);
-t.datetime(columnNames='pwlastresetat', default='', allowNull=true);
-
-t.timestamps();
-t.create();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-As you can see, you can create multiple columns in a single call, set default values, whether to allow null values, and so on.
-
-At this point, we can get going on actually creating this table
-
-* Make sure that multiple column names in "columnNames" are only separated with ",". Don't use spaces like ", " as that space becomes part of a column name which will cause problems.&#x20;
-
-### Creating Tables with composite primary keys
-
-While `t = createTable(name='users');` will create a standard auto-increment numeric ID, sometimes you need to create a table which has a composite, or non standard primary key. In this example, we're setting `id=false` on the `createTable()` call to bypass the default behavior, then specifying our primarykeys separately via `primaryKey()`:
-
-```javascript
-t = createTable(name='rolepermissions', id=false);
-t.primaryKey(name="roleid", allowNull=false, limit=11);
-t.primaryKey(name="permissionid", allowNull=false, limit=11);
-t.create();
-```
-
-This would be a typical setup for a join table where you have a many to many relationship. Alternatively this can be useful if you need to specify a UUID as a primarykey.
-
-### Running a migration
-
-Returning to our migration GUI, we can now see some options under the Migrations tab.
-
-![](/wheels/guides-assets/aa84665-dbmigrate\_3.png)
-
-Simply click the button to migrate the database to our new version. From this screen we can also roll back to previous schema versions, or even reset the database back to `0`.

-
-### Migrator Configuration Settings
-
-| Setting               | Type    | Default                          | Description                                                                                                                    	 |
-| --------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| autoMigrateDatabase   | Boolean | false                            | Automatically runs available migration on applicationstart.                                                                    	 |
-| migratorTableName     | String  | c_o_r_e_migrator_versions        | The name of the table that stores the versions migrated.                                                                       	 |
-| createMigratorTable   | Boolean | true                             | Create the c_o_r_e_migrator_versions database table.                                                                              |
-| writeMigratorSQLFiles | Boolean | false                            | Writes the executed SQL to a .sql file in the /app/migrator/sql directory.                                                        |
-| migratorObjectCase    | String  | lower                            | Specifies the case of created database object. Options are 'lower', 'upper' and 'none' (which uses the given value unmodified) 	 |
-| allowMigrationDown    | Boolean | false (true in development mode) | Prevents 'down' migrations (rollbacks)                                                                                         	 |
-
-### Setting Column Types
-
-The Migrator needs to run across multiple DB engines, it avoids direct use of varchar, as different adapters will need to use different column types etc. Therefore string translates to VARCHAR.
-
-For instance, here's the mySQL variants:
-
-* biginteger = BIGINT UNSIGNED&#x20;
-* binary = BLOB boolean = TINYINT',limit=1&#x20;
-* date = DATE datetime = DATETIME&#x20;
-* decimal = DECIMAL&#x20;
-* float = FLOAT&#x20;
-* integer = INT&#x20;
-* string = VARCHAR',limit=255&#x20;
-* text = TEXT&#x20;
-* text (size="mediumtext") = MEDIUMTEXT (16MB)&#x20;
-* text (size="longtext") = LONGTEXT (4GB)&#x20;
-* time = TIME&#x20;
-* timestamp = TIMESTAMP&#x20;
-* uuid = VARBINARY', limit=16
-
-Whereas SQL Server would use:
-
-* primaryKey = "int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1)&#x20;
-* binary = IMAGE&#x20;
-* boolean = BIT&#x20;
-* date = DATETIME&#x20;
-* datetime = DATETIME&#x20;
-* decimal = DECIMAL&#x20;
-* float = FLOAT&#x20;
-* integer = INT&#x20;
-* string = VARCHAR',limit=255&#x20;
-* text = TEXT&#x20;
-* time = DATETIME&#x20;
-* timestamp = DATETIME&#x20;
-* uniqueidentifier = UNIQUEIDENTIFIER&#x20;
-* char = CHAR',limit=10
-
-## Auto-Migration: Generate from Model Changes
-
-Wheels can generate migrations for you from your model changes. Instead of writing `addColumn`/`removeColumn` calls by hand, edit the model, run `wheels dbmigrate diff`, and let the framework produce the CFC.
-
-### Walk-Through
-
-Suppose you have a `User` model and decide to:
-- Rename the `full_name` column to `fullName`
-- Add a `bio` column
-- Remove the legacy `legacy_flag` column
-
-Edit `app/models/User.cfc` to reflect the new shape (via property definitions, associations, etc.), then run:
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate diff User
-```
-
-You'll see a preview:
-
-```
-Diff for User (users)
-
-  Renames (will apply)
-    full_name -> fullName    [string]  (source: heuristic)
-
-  Adds
-    + bio    [text]
-
-  Removes
-    - legacy_flag    (will DROP)
-
-Preview only - no migration file written. Pass --write to commit.
-```
-
-Because `full_name` and `fullName` normalize to the same token, the detector auto-confirmed the rename. If you'd instead renamed `email_addr` to `emailAddress`, the engine would ask you to confirm with `--rename`:
-
-```
-Suggested renames (pass --rename to confirm)
-  email_addr -> emailAddress    [string]  confidence: 0.75
-    wheels dbmigrate diff User --rename=email_addr:emailAddress
-```
-
-When the preview looks right, commit:
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate diff User --write
-```
-
-This writes a file like `app/migrator/migrations/20260415093052123_auto_user_changes.cfc` with both `up()` and `down()` methods. Apply it the usual way:
-
-```bash
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-### When to Use
-
-Auto-migration is best when:
-- You've made straightforward property changes to a model.
-- You want a starting point for a migration (you can still hand-edit the generated CFC before applying).
-- You're running in development and want fast iteration.
-
-For production migrations involving complex data transformations, hand-written migrations remain the right tool.
-
-### Programmatic API
-
-The CLI wraps `AutoMigrator`, which you can also call directly:
-
-```cfm
-var autoMigrator = CreateObject("component", "wheels.migrator.AutoMigrator");
-var diffResult = autoMigrator.diff("User", {renames: {"full_name": "fullName"}});
-autoMigrator.writeMigration(diffResult, "rename_name_field");
-```
-
-See the [wheels dbmigrate diff](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/database/dbmigrate-diff/) reference for all options.

-title: Migrations in Production
-description: Techniques for migrating your database in production
----
-
-# Migrations in Production
-
-Once you've created your migration files and committed your changes (you are all using source control - right?) you might be wondering about the different ways to migrate your database in a production environment.
-
-### Manual Migrations via GUI
-
-Probably one of the most common and basic deployment types is a standalone virtual machine, running ACF or Lucee, with a database server such as MySQL running on the same box. In this scenario, we could probably stick with the simplest option: there is after all, probably only one instance of the site running.
-
-* Put the site into maintenance mode (this is always good practice when deploying new code)
-* Load the internal Migration GUI, migrate your database. **Note:** Ensure your IP address is in the maintenance mode exclusion list: the debug footer may not be available, so make a note of the url string `?controller=wheels&action=wheels&view=migrate`
-* Reload the application back into production mode
-
-### Automatic Migrations
-
-You may well have a more complicated setup, such as being behind a load balancer, or having dynamic instances of your application - such as AWS ElasticBeanstalk - where logging into the same instance isn't practical; it may be your application is an API where a request could get routed to any node in the cluster, or that "sticky" sessions aren't enabled.
-
-This means running the migrations manually via GUI isn't a practical option - you might accidentally leave a node in the cluster in maintenance mode and not be able to easily return to it etc.
-
-In this scenario, you could use the built-in `autoMigrateDatabase` setting: this will automatically migrate the database to the latest schema version when the application starts.
-
-This would fire for each node on a cluster and would fire on each application restart - however, the overhead would be minimal (one additional database call).&#x20;
-
-To activate this feature, just use `set(autoMigrateDatabase=true)` in your `config/production/settings.cfm` settings, to ensure it only fires in production mode.
-
-### Programmatic Migrations
-
-It might be that full automatic migrations aren't necessary, or undesirable for some reason. You could have a script which essentially replaces the GUI functions and call the migration methods manually.&#x20;
-
-Please consult the internal documentation API reference under Configurations > Database Migrations for details of the various functions available to you.
-
-### Further considerations with automatic migrations
-
-If you are using automatic migrations, then you could lock down production mode even further. In development mode, there is more data available, such as the internal documentation, routing GUI and Migration GUI.
-
-**Turn off environment switching**
-
-You can force Wheels to remain in production via `set(allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl=false)` - this will disable `?reload=maintenance` style URLs where there is a configuration change, but simple reloading such as `?reload=true` will still work. This setting should be approached with caution, as once you've entered into a mode with this setting on, you can't then switch out of it.

-# Deleting Records
-
-Deleting records in Wheels is simple. If you have fetched an object, you can just call its [delete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.delete.html) method. If you don't have any callbacks specified for the class, all that will happen is that the record will be deleted from the table and `true` will be returned.
-
-### Delete Callbacks
-
-If you have callbacks however, this is what happens:
-
-First, all methods registered to be run before a delete happens (these are registered using a [beforeDelete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforedelete.html) call from the `config` function) will be executed, if any exist.
-
-If these return `true`, Wheels will proceed and delete the record from the table. If `false` is returned from the callback code, processing will return to your code without the record being deleted. (`false` is returned to you in this case.)
-
-If the record was deleted, the [afterDelete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterdelete.html) callback code is executed, and whatever that code returns will be returned to you. (You should make all your callbacks return `true` or `false`.)
-
-If you're unfamiliar with the concept of callbacks, you can read about them in the [Object Callbacks](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/object-callbacks) chapter.
-
-### Example of Deleting a Record
-
-Here's a simple example of fetching a record from the database and then deleting it.
-
-```javascript
-aPost = model("post").findByKey(33);
-aPost.delete();
-```
-
-There are also 3 class-level delete methods available: [deleteByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.deletebykey.html), [deleteOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.deleteone.html), and [deleteAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.deleteall.html). These work similarly to the class level methods for updating, which you can read more about in [Updating Records](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/updating-records).

-title: Dirty Records
-description: How to track changes to objects in your application.
----
-
-# Dirty Records
-
-Wheels provides some very useful methods for tracking changes to objects. You might think, _Why do I need that? Won't I just know that I changed the object myself?_
-
-Well, that depends on the structure of your code.
-
-As you work with Wheels and move away from that procedural spaghetti mess you used to call code to a better, cleaner object-oriented approach, you may get a sense that you have lost control of what your code is doing. Your new code is creating objects, they in turn call methods on other objects automatically, methods are being called from multiple places, and so on. Don't worry though, this is a good thing. It just takes a while to get used to, and with the help of some Wheels functionality, it won't take you that long to get used to it either.
-
-### An Example with Callbacks
-
-One area where this sense of losing control is especially noticeable is when you are using _callbacks_ on objects (see the chapter on [Object Callbacks](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/object-callbacks) for more info). So let's use that for our example.
-
-Let's say you have used a callback to specify that a method should be called whenever a `user` object is saved to the database. You won't know exactly **where** this method was called from. It could have been the user doing it themselves on the website, or it could have been done from your internal administration area. Generally speaking, you don't need to know this either.
-
-One thing your business logic might need to know though is a way to tell exactly **what** was changed on the object. Maybe you want to handle things differently if the user's last name was changed than if the email address was changed, for example.
-
-Let's look at the methods Wheels provide to make tracking these changes easier for you.
-
-### Methods for Tracking Changes
-
-Let's get to coding…
-
-```javascript
-post = model("post").findByKey(1);
-result = post.hasChanged();
-```
-
-Here we are using the [hasChanged()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.haschanged.html) method to see if any of the object properties has changed.
-
-By the way, when we are talking about "change" in Wheels, we always mean whether or not an object's properties have changed compared to what is stored in the columns they map to in the database table.
-
-In the case of the above example, the `result` variable will contain `false` because we just fetched the object from the database and did not make any changes to it at all.
-
-Well, let's make a change then. If we didn't, this chapter wouldn't be all that interesting, would it?
-
-```javascript
-post.title = "A New Post Title";
-result = post.hasChanged();
-```
-
-Now result will be `true` because what is stored in `post.title` differs from what is stored in the `title`column for this record in the `posts` table (well, unless the title was "A New Post Title" even before the change, in which case the result would still be `false`).
-
-When calling [hasChanged()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.haschanged.html) with no arguments, Wheels will check **all** properties on the object and return `true` if any of them have changed. If you want to see if a specific property has changed, you can pass in `property="title"` to it or use the dynamic method `[propertyName]HasChanged()`. Replace `[propertyName]` with the name of the property. In our case, the method would then be named `titleHasChanged()`.
-
-If you want to see what a value was before a change was made, you can do so by calling [changedFrom()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.changedfrom.html) and passing in the name of a property. This can also be done with the dynamic `[propertyName]ChangedFrom()` method.
-
-When an object is in a changed state, there are a couple of methods you can use to report back on these changes. [changedProperties()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.changedproperties.html) will give you a list of the property names that have been changed. [allChanges()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.allchanges.html) returns a struct containing all the changes (both the property names and the changed values themselves).
-
-If you have made changes to an object and for some reason you want to revert it back, you can do so by calling [reload()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.reload.html) on it. This will query the database and update the object properties with their corresponding values from the database.
-
-OK, let's save the object to the database now and see how that affects things.
-
-```javascript
-post.save();
-result = post.hasChanged();
-```
-
-Now `result` will once again contain `false`. When you save a changed (a.k.a. "dirty") object, it clears out its changed state tracking and is considered unchanged again.
-
-### Don't Forget the Context
-
-All of the examples in this chapter look a little ridiculous because it doesn't make much sense to check the status of an object when you changed it manually in your code. As we said in the beginning of the chapter, when put into context of callbacks, multiple methods, etc., it will become clear how useful these methods really are.
-
-### Internal Use of Change Tracking
-
-It's worth noting here that Wheels makes good use of this change tracking internally as well. If you make changes to an object, Wheels is smart enough to only update the changed columns, leaving the rest alone. This is good for a number of reasons but perhaps most importantly for database performance. In high traffic web applications, the bottleneck is often the database, and anything that can be done to prevent unnecessary database access is a good thing.
-
-### One "Gotcha" About Tracking Changes
-
-If you create a brand new object with the [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html) method and call [hasChanged()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.haschanged.html) on it, it will return `true`. The reason for this seemingly unexpected behavior is that change is always viewed from the database's perspective. The [hasChanged()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.haschanged.html) method will return `true` in this case because it is different from what is stored in the database (i.e. it doesn't exist at all in the database yet).
-
-If you would simply like to know if an object exists in the database or not, you can use the [isNew()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.isnew.html) method.

-title: Dynamic Finders
-description: Make your model calls more readable by using dynamic finders.
----
-
-# Dynamic Finders
-
-Since the introduction of `onMissingMethod()` in CFML, we have been able to port over the concept of _dynamic finders_ from Rails to Wheels.
-
-The concept is simple. Instead of using arguments to tell Wheels what you want to do, you can use a dynamically-named method.
-
-For example, the following code:
-
-```javascript
-me = model("user").findOne(where="email='me@myself.com'");
-```
-
-Can also be written as:
-
-```javascript
-me = model("user").findOneByEmail("me@myself.com");
-```
-
-Through the power of `onMissingMethod()`, Wheels will parse the method name and figure out that the value supplied is supposed to be matched against the `email` column.
-
-### Dynamic Finders Involving More than One Column
-
-You can take this one step further by using code such as:
-
-```javascript
-me = model("user").findOneByUserNameAndPassword("bob,pass");
-```
-
-In this case, Wheels will split the function name on the And part and determine that you want to find the record where the username column is "bob" and the password column is "pass".
-
-When you are passing in two values, make special note of the fact that they should be passed in as a list to one argument and not as two separate arguments.
-
-### Works with findAll() too
-
-In the examples above, we've used the [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html) method, but you can use the same approach on a [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) method as well.
-
-### Passing in Other Finder Parameters
-
-In the background, these dynamically-named methods just pass along execution to [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html) or [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html). This means that you can also pass in any arguments that are accepted by those two methods.
-
-The below code, for example, is perfectly valid:
-
-```javascript
-users = model("user").findAllByState(value="NY", order="name", page=3);
-```
-
-When passing in multiple arguments like above, you have to start naming them instead of relying on the order of the arguments though. When doing so, you need to name the argument `value` if you're passing in just one value and `values` if you're passing in multiple values in a list. In other words, you need to name it `values` when calling an `And`type dynamic finder.
-
-```javascript
-users = model("user").findAllByCityAndState(
-        values="Buffalo,NY", order="name", page=3
-);
-```
-
-### Avoid the Word "And" in Database Column Names
-
-Keep in mind that this dynamic method calling will break down completely if you ever name a column `firstandlastname` or something similar because Wheels will then split the method name incorrectly. So avoid using "And" in the column name if you plan on taking advantage of dynamically-named finder methods.

----
-title: Enums
----
-# Enums
-
-Enums let you define a fixed set of allowed values for a model property. Wheels automatically generates boolean checker methods, query scopes, and inclusion validation for each enum.
-
-## Defining Enums
-
-Add enums in your model's `config()` function:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // String list — each value is both the name and stored value
-        enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
-
-        // Struct mapping — names map to different stored values
-        enum(property="priority", values={low: 0, medium: 1, high: 2});
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### String List
-
-When you pass a comma-delimited string, each value serves as both the display name and the stored database value:
-
-```cfm
-enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
-// Stores "draft", "published", or "archived" in the database
-```
-
-### Struct Mapping
-
-When you pass a struct, the keys are the names and the values are what gets stored in the database:
-
-```cfm
-enum(property="priority", values={low: 0, medium: 1, high: 2});
-// Stores 0, 1, or 2 in the database
-```
-
-## What Enums Generate
-
-Defining an enum automatically creates three things:
-
-### 1. Boolean Checker Methods
-
-For each enum value, an `is<Value>()` method is generated on model instances:
-
-```cfm
-post = model("Post").findByKey(1);
-
-post.isDraft();      // true or false
-post.isPublished();  // true or false
-post.isArchived();   // true or false
-```
-
-### 2. Query Scopes
-
-Each enum value becomes a named scope you can chain:
-
-```cfm
-// Find all draft posts
-drafts = model("Post").draft().findAll();
-
-// Find all published posts, ordered by date
-published = model("Post").published().findAll(order="createdAt DESC");
-
-// Count archived posts
-archivedCount = model("Post").archived().count();
-```
-
-### 3. Inclusion Validation
-
-A `validatesInclusionOf` validation is automatically registered, preventing invalid values:
-
-```cfm
-post = model("Post").new();
-post.status = "invalid_value";
-post.valid();  // false — "invalid_value" is not in the enum
-
-post.status = "published";
-post.valid();  // true (assuming other validations pass)
-post.errorsOn("status");  // empty array
-```
-
-The validation uses `allowBlank=true`, so blank/empty values are permitted unless you add a separate `validatesPresenceOf`.
-
-## Examples
-
-### Filtering by Enum Value
-
-```cfm
-// Using auto-generated scopes
-model("Post").published().findAll(page=1, perPage=25);
-
-// Using standard WHERE clause
-model("Post").findAll(where="status = 'published'");
-
-// Using query builder
-model("Post").where("status", "published").get();
-```
-
-### Checking State in Views
-
-```cfm
-<cfif post.isPublished()>
-    <span class="badge badge-success">Published</span>
-<cfelseif post.isDraft()>
-    <span class="badge badge-warning">Draft</span>
-<cfelse>
-    <span class="badge badge-secondary">Archived</span>
-</cfif>
-```
-
-### Combining Scopes
-
-```cfm
-// Enum scopes compose with other scopes
-model("Post").published().recent().findAll();
-```

-title: Getting Paginated Data
-description: >-
-  Improve database performance and simplify your user interface by using

----
-
-# Getting Paginated Data
-
-If you searched for "coldfusion" on Google, would you want all results to be returned on one page? Probably not because it would take a long time for Google to first get the records out of its index and then prepare the page for you. Your browser would slow to a halt as it tried to render the page. When the page would finally show up, it would be a pain to scroll through all those results.
-
-Rightly so, Google uses pagination to spread out the results on several pages.
-
-And in Wheels, it's really simple to do this type of pagination. Here's how:
-
-* Get records from the database based on a page number. Going back to the Google example, this would mean getting records 11-20 when the user is viewing the second results page. This is (mostly) done using the `findAll()` function and the `page` and `perPage` arguments.
-* Display the links to all the other pages that the user should be able to go to. This is done using the [paginationLinks()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.paginationLinks.html) function or using a lower-level function [pagination()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.pagination.html).
-
-This chapter will deal with the first part: getting the paginated data. Please proceed to the chapter called [Displaying Links for Pagination](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/displaying-links-for-pagination) if you wish to learn how to output the page links in your view.
-
-### Learning by Example
-
-Let's jump straight to an example:
-
-```javascript
-authors = model("Author").findAll(page=2, perPage=25, order="lastName");
-```
-
-That simple code will return authors 26-50 from the database, ordered by their last name.
-
-What SQL statements are actually being executed depends on which database engine you use. (The MySQL adapter will use `LIMIT` and `OFFSET`, and the Microsoft SQL Server adapter will use `TOP` and some tricky sub queries.) Turn on debugging in the ColdFusion Administrator if you want to see exactly what's going on under the hood.
-
-One important thing that you should be aware of is that pagination is done based on objects and not records. To illustrate what that means, we can expand on the above example a little:
-
-```javascript
-authorsAndBooks = model("Author").findAll(
-  include="Books", page=2, perPage=25, order="lastName"
-);
-```
-
-Here, we tell Wheels that we also want to include any books written by the authors in the result. Since it's possible that an author has written many books, we can't know in advance how many records we'll get back (as opposed to the first example, where we know we will get 25 records back). If each author has written 2 books, for example, we will get 50 records back.
-
-If you do want to paginate based on the books instead, all that you need to do is flip the `findAll()` statement around a little:
-
-```javascript
-booksAndAuthors = model("Book").findAll(
-  include="Author", page=2, perPage=25, order="lastName"
-);
-```
-
-Here, we call the `findAll()` function on the Book class instead, and thereby we ensure that the pagination is based on the books and not the authors. In this case, we will always get 25 records back.
-
-If you need to know more about the returned query, you can use the `pagination()` function which returns a struct with keys `pagination().currentPage`, `pagination().totalPages` and `pagination().totalRecords`.
-
-That's all there is to it, really. The best way to learn pagination is to play around with it with debugging turned on.
-
-Don't forget to check the chapter [Displaying Links for Pagination](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/displaying-links-for-pagination).

-title: Nested Properties
-description: Save data in associated model objects through the parent.
----
-
-# Nested Properties
-
-When you're starting out as a Wheels developer, you are probably amazed at the simplicity of a model's CRUD methods. But then it all gets quite a bit more complex when you need to update records in multiple database tables in a single transaction.
-
-_Nested properties_ in Wheels makes this scenario dead simple. With a configuration using the [nestedProperties()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.nestedproperties.html)function in your model's `config()` method, you can save changes to that model and its associated models in a single call with [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html), [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html), or [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html).
-
-### One-to-One Relationships with Nested Properties
-
-Consider a `user` model that has one `profile`:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/User.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-  function config() {
-        hasOne("profile");
-        nestedProperties(associations="profile");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-By adding the call to [nestedProperties()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.nestedproperties.html) in the model, you can create both the `user` object and the `profile` object in a single call to [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html).
-
-### Setting up Data for the user Form in the Controller
-
-First, in our controller, let's set the data needed for our form:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/User.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-// In /app/controllers/User.cfc
-function new() {
-    var newProfile = model("profile").new();
-    user = model("user").new(profile=newProfile);
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Because our form will also expect an object called `profile` nested within the `user` object, we must create a new instance of it and set it as a property in the call to `user.new()`.
-
-Also, because we don't intend on using the particular `newProfile` object set in the first line of the action, we can `var` scope it to clearly mark our intentions for its use.
-
-If this were an `edit` action calling an existing object, our call would need to look similar to this:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/User.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function edit() {
-    user = model("user").findByKey(key=params.key, include="profile");
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Because the form will also expect data set in the `profile` property, you must include that association in the finder call with the `include` argument.
-
-### Building a Form for Posting Nested Properties
-
-For this example, our form at `/app/views/users/new.cfm` will end up looking like this:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/users/new.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-#startFormTag(action="create")#
-
-    <!--- Data for user model --->
-    #textField(label="First Name", objectName="user", property="firstName")#
-    #textField(label="Last Name", objectName="user", property="lastName")#
-
-    <!--- Data for associated profile model --->
-    #textField(
-        label="Twitter Handle",
-        objectName="user",
-        association="profile",
-        property="twitterHandle"
-    )#
-    #textArea(
-        label="Biography",
-        objectName="user",
-        association="profile",
-        property="bio"
-    )#
-
-    <div>#submitTag(value="Create")#</div>
-
-#endFormTag()#
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Of note are the calls to form helpers for the `profile` model, which contain an extra argument for `association`. This argument is available for all object-based form helpers. By using the `association` argument, Wheels will name the form field in such a way that the properties for the profile will be nested within an object in the `user` model.
-
-Take a minute to read that last statement again. OK, let's move on to the action that handles the form submission.
-
-### Saving the Object and Its Nested Properties
-
-You may be surprised to find out that our standard `create` action does not change at all from what you're used to.
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function create() {
-    user = model("user").new(params.user);
-    if ( user.save() ) {
-        flashInsert(success="The user was created successfully.");
-        redirectTo(controller=params.controller);
-    } else {
-        renderView(action="new");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-When calling `user.save()` in the example above, Wheels takes care of the following:
-
-* Saves the data passed into the `user` model.
-* Sets a property on `user` called profile with the `profile` data stored in an object.
-* Saves the data passed into that `profile` model.
-* Wraps all calls in a transaction in case validations on any of the objects fail or something wrong happens with the database.
-
-For the `edit` scenario, this is what our `update` action would look like (which is very similar to `create`):
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function update() {
-    user = model("user").findByKey(params.user.id);
-    if ( user.update(params.user) ) {
-        flashInsert(success="The user was updated successfully.");
-        redirectTo(action="edit");
-    } else {
-        renderView(action="edit");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### One-to-Many Relationships with Nested Properties
-
-Nested properties work with one-to-many associations as well, except now the nested properties will contain an array of objects instead of a single one. We know that one `user` can have many `addresses`. Furthermore, we know that each `user` has only one `profile`.&#x20;
-
-In the `user` model, let's add an association called `addresses` and also enable it as nested properties.
-
-{% code title="/app/models/User.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
- function config() {
-        hasOne("profile");
-        hasMany("addresses");
-        nestedProperties(
-            associations="profile,addresses",
-            allowDelete=true
-        );
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In this example, we have added the `addresses` association to the call to [nestedProperties()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.nestedproperties.html).
-
-The `addresses` table contains a foreign key to the `Users` table called `userid`, Now in the `addresses` model, let's associate it with its parent `User` and also enable it as nested properties.
-
-{% code title="/app/models/Address.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
- function config() {
-        belongsTo("User");
-        nestedProperties(
-            associations="User",
-            allowDelete=true
-        );
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Setting up Data for the user Form in the Controller
-
-Setting up data for the form is similar to the one-to-one scenario, but this time the form will expect an array of objects for the nested properties instead of a single object.
-
-In this example, we'll just put one new `address` in the array.
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function new() {
-    var newAddresses = [ model("address").new() ];
-    user = model("user").new(addresses=newAddresses);
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In the `edit` scenario, we just need to remember to call the `include` argument to include the array of addresses saved for the particular `user`:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function edit() {
-    user = model("user").findByKey(key=params.key, include="addresses");
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Building the Form for the One-to-Many Association
-
-This time, we'll add a section for addresses on our form:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/users/_form.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-#startFormTag(action="create")#
-
-    <!--- Data for `user` model --->
-    <fieldset>
-        <legend>User</legend>
-
-        #textField(label="First Name", objectName="user", property="firstName")#
-        #textField(label="Last Name", objectName="user", property="lastName")#
-    </fieldset>
-
-    <!--- Data for `address` models --->
-    <fieldset>
-        <legend>Addresses</legend>
-
-        <div id="addresses">
-            #includePartial(user.addresses)#
-        </div>
-    </fieldset>
-
-    <div>#submitTag(value="Create")#</div>
-
-#endFormTag()#
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In this case, you'll see that the form for addresses is broken into a partial. (See the chapter on Partials for more details.) Let's take a look at that partial.
-
-### The \_address Partial
-
-Here is the code for the partial at `/app/views/users/_address.cfm`. Wheels will loop through each `address` in your nested properties and display this piece of code for each one.
-
-{% code title="/app/views/users/_address.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-<div class="address">
-    #textField(
-        label="Street",
-        objectName="user",
-        association="addresses",
-        position=arguments.current,
-        property="address1"
-    )#
-    #textField(
-        label="City",
-        objectName="user",
-        association="addresses",
-        position=arguments.current,
-        property="city"
-    )#
-    #textField(
-        label="State",
-        objectName="user",
-        association="addresses",
-        position=arguments.current,
-        property="state"
-    )#
-    #textField(
-        label="Zip",
-        objectName="user",
-        association="addresses",
-        position=arguments.current,
-        property="zip"
-    )#
-</div>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Because there can be multiple addresses on the form, the form helpers require an additional argument for `position`. Without having a unique position identifier for each `address`, Wheels would have no way of understanding which `state` field matches with which particular `address`, for example.
-
-Here, we're passing a value of `arguments.current` for `position`. This value is set automatically by Wheels for each iteration through the loop of `addresses`.
-
-### Auto-saving a Collection of Child Objects
-
-Even with a complex form with a number of child objects, Wheels will save all of the data through its parent's [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html), [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html), or [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html) methods.
-
-Basically, your typical code to save the `user` and its `addresses` is exactly the same as the code demonstrated in the _Saving the Object and Its Nested Properties_ section earlier in this chapter.
-
-Writing the action to save the data is clearly the easiest part of this process!
-
-### Transactions are Included by Default
-
-As mentioned earlier, Wheels will automatically wrap your database operations for nested properties in a transaction. That way if something goes wrong with any of the operations, the transaction will rollback, and you won't end up with incomplete saves.
-
-See the chapter on [Transactions](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/transactions) for more details.
-
-### Many-to-Many Relationships with Nested Properties
-
-We all enter the scenario where we have "join tables" where we need to associate models in a many-to-many fashion. Wheels makes this pairing of entities simple with some form helpers.
-
-Consider the many-to-many associations related to `customers, publications`, and `subscriptions`, straight from the [Associations](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/associations) chapter.
-
-```javascript
-//  /app/models/Customer.cfc
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    public function config() {
-        hasMany(name="subscriptions", shortcut="publications");
-    }
-
-}
-//  /app/models/Publication.cfc
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    public function config() {
-        hasMany("subscriptions");
-    }
-
-}
-//  /app/models/Subscription.cfc
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    public function config() {
-        belongsTo("customer");
-        belongsTo("publication");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-When it's time to save `customer`s' subscriptions in the `subscriptions` join table, one approach is to loop through data submitted by [checkBoxTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.checkboxtag.html)s from your form, populate `subscription` model objects with the data, and call [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html). This approach is valid, but it is quite cumbersome. Fortunately, there is a simpler way.
-
-### Setting up the Nested Properties in the Model
-
-Here is how we would set up the nested properties in the `customer` model for this example:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/Customer.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    public function config() {
-        //  Associations
-        hasMany(name="subscriptions", shortcut="publications");
-        //  Nested properties
-        nestedProperties(
-            associations="subscriptions",
-            allowDelete=true
-        );
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Setting up Data for the customer Form in the Controller
-
-Let's define the data needed in an `edit` action in the controller at `/app/controllers/Customers.cfc`.
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Customers.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function edit() {
-    customer = model("customer").findByKey(
-        key=params.key,
-        include="subscriptions"
-    );
-    publications = model("publication").findAll(order="title");
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-For the view, we need to pull the `customer` with its associated `subscriptions` included with the `include` argument. We also need all of the `publication`s in the system for the user to choose from.
-
-### Building the Many-to-Many Form
-
-We can now build a series of check boxes that will allow the end user choose which `publications` to assign to the `customer`.
-
-The view template at `/app/views/customers/edit.cfm` is where the magic happens. In this view, we will have a form for editing the `customer` and check boxes for selecting the `customer`'s `subscriptions`.
-
-{% code title="/app/views/customers/edit.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-<cfparam name="customer">
-<cfparam name="publications" type="query">
-
-<cfoutput>
-
-#startFormTag(action="update")#
-
-<fieldset>
-    <legend>Customer</legend>
-
-    #textField(
-        label="First Name",
-        objectName="customer",
-        property="firstName"
-    )#
-    #textField(
-        label="Last Name",
-        objectName="customer",
-        property="lastName"
-    )#
-</fieldset>
-
-<fieldset>
-    <legend>Subscriptions</legend>
-
-    <cfloop query="publications">
-        #hasManyCheckBox(
-            label=publications.title,
-            objectName="customer",
-            association="subscriptions",
-            keys="#customer.key()#,#publications.id#"
-        )#
-    </cfloop>
-</fieldset>
-
-<div>
-    #hiddenField(objectName="customer", value="id")#
-    #submitTag()#
-</div>
-
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The main point of interest in this example is the `<fieldset>` for Subscriptions, which loops through the query of `publications` and uses the [hasManyCheckBox()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.hasmanycheckbox.html) form helper. This helper is similar to [checkBox()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.checkbox.html) and [checkBoxTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.checkboxtag.html), but it is specifically designed for building form data related by associations. (Note that [checkBox()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.checkbox.html) is primarily designed for columns in your table that store a single `true/false` value, so that is the big difference.)
-
-Notice that the `objectName` argument passed to [hasManyCheckBox()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.hasmanycheckbox.html) is the parent `customer` object and the `associations` argument contains the name of the related association. Wheels will build a form variable named in a way that the `customer` object is automatically bound to the `subscriptions` association.
-
-The `keys` argument accepts the foreign keys that should be associated together in the `subscriptions` join table. Note that these keys should be listed in the order that they appear in the database table. In this example, the `subscriptions` table in the database contains a composite primary key with columns called `customerid` and `publicationid`, in that order.
-
-### How the Form Submission Works
-
-Handling the form submission is the most powerful part of the process, but like all other nested properties scenarios, it involves no extra effort on your part.
-
-You'll notice that this example `update` action is fairly standard for a Wheels application:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Customers.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function update() {
-    //  Load customer object
-    customer = model("customer").findByKey(params.customer.id);
-    /*  If update is successful, generate success message
-        and redirect back to edit screen */
-    if ( customer.update(params.customer) ) {
-        redirectTo(
-            action="edit",
-            key=customer.id,
-            success="#customer.firstName# #customer.lastName# record updated successfully."
-        );
-        //  If update fails, show form with errors 
-    } else {
-        renderView(action="edit");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In fact, there is nothing special about this. But with the nested properties defined in the model, Wheels handles quite a bit when you save the `parent` customer object:
-
-* Wheels will update the `customers` table with any changes submitted in the Customers `<fieldset>`.
-* Wheels will add and remove records in the `subscriptions` table depending on which check boxes are selected by the user in the Subscriptions `<fieldset>`.
-* All of these database queries will be wrapped in a [Transaction](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/transactions) . If any of the above updates don't pass validation or if the database queries fail, the transaction will roll back.

-title: Object Callbacks
-description: >-
-  Write code that runs every time a given object is created, updated, or
-  deleted.
----
-
-# Object Callbacks
-
-Callbacks in Wheels allow you to have code executed before and/or after certain operations on an object. This requires some further explanation, so let's go straight to an example of a real-world application: the e-commerce checkout.
-
-### A Real-World Example of Using Callbacks
-
-Let's look at a possible scenario for what happens when a visitor to your imaginary e-commerce website submits their credit card details to finalize an order:
-
-* You create a new `order` object using the [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html) method based on the incoming form parameters.
-* You call the [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) method on the order object, which will cause Wheels to first validate the object and then store it in the database if it passes validation.
-* The next day, you call the [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html) method on the object because the user decided to change the shipping method for the order.
-* Another day passes, and you call the [delete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.delete.html) method on the object because the visitor called in to cancel the order.
-
-Let's say you want to have the following things executed somewhere in the code:
-
-* Stripping out dashes from the credit card number to make it as easy as possible for the user to make a purchase.
-* Calculating shipping cost based on the country the package will be sent to.
-
-It's tempting to put this code right in the controller, isn't it? But if you think ahead a little, you'll realize that you might build an administrative interface for orders and maybe an express checkout as well at some point in the future. You don't want to duplicate all your logic in all these places, do you?
-
-Object callbacks to the rescue! By using object callbacks to implement this sort of logic in your model, you keep it out of your controllers and ensure your code stays DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
-
-Part of the `Order.cfc` model file:
-
-{% code title="Order.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    public function config() {
-        beforeValidationOnCreate("fixCreditCard");
-        afterValidation("calculateShippingCost");
-    }
-
-    public function fixCreditCard() {
-
-        writeOutput("Code for stripping out dashes in credit card numbers goes here...");
-    }
-
-    public function calculateShippingCost() {
-
-        writeOutput("Code for calculating shipping cost goes here...");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The above code registers 2 methods to be run at specific points in the life cycle of all objects in your application.
-
-### Use Proper Naming
-
-When naming your callbacks you might be tempted to try and keep things (too) simple by doing something like `afterValidation("afterValidation")`.
-
-Do **not** do this.
-
-If you do, Wheels will fail silently and you might be left wondering why nothing is happening. (What is happening is that you, if there is a corresponding method named `afterValidation`, unintentionally overrode an internal Wheels method.)
-
-It's best to name the methods so they describe what task they actually perform, such as `calculateShippingCost` or `fixCreditCard` as shown in the example above.
-
-### Registering and Controlling Callbacks
-
-The following 16 functions can be used to register callbacks.
-
-* [afterNew()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afternew.html) or [afterFind()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterfind.html)
-* [afterInitialization()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterinitialization.html)
-* [beforeValidation()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforevalidation.html)
-* [beforeValidationOnCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforevalidationoncreate.html) or [beforeValidationOnUpdate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforevalidationonupdate.html)
-* [afterValidation()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.aftervalidation.html)
-* [afterValidationOnCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.aftervalidationoncreate.html) or [afterValidationOnUpdate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.aftervalidationonupdate.html)
-* [beforeSave()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforesave.html)
-* [beforeCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforecreate.html) or [beforeUpdate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforeupdate.html)
-* [afterCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.aftercreate.html) or [afterUpdate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterupdate.html)
-* [afterSave()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.aftersave.html)
-* [beforeDelete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforedelete.html)
-* [afterDelete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterdelete.html)
-
-### Callback Life Cycle
-
-As you can see above, there are a few places (5, to be exact) where one callback or the other will be executed, but not both.
-
-The very first possible callback that can take place in an object's life cycle is either [afterNew()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afternew.html) or [afterFind](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterfind.html). The [afterNew()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afternew.html) callback methods are triggered when you create the object yourself for the very first time, for example, when using the [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html) method. [afterFind()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterfind.html) is triggered when the object is created as a result of fetching a record from the database, for example, when using [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findByKey.html). (There is some special behavior for this callback type that we'll explain in detail later on in this chapter).
-
-The remaining callbacks get executed depending on whether or not we're running a "create," "update," or "delete" operation.
-
-### Breaking a Callback Chain
-
-If you want to completely break the callback chain for an object, you can do so by returning `false` from your callback method. (Otherwise, always return `true` or nothing at all.) As an example of breaking the callback chain, let's say you have called the [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) method on a new object and the method you've registered with the [beforeCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforecreate.html) callback returns `false`. As a result, because the method you've registered with the [beforeCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.beforecreate.html) callback will exit the callback chain early by returning `false`, no record will be inserted in the database.
-
-### Order of Callbacks
-
-Sometimes you need to run more than one method at a specific point in the object's life cycle. You can do this by passing in a list of method names like this:
-
-```javascript
-beforeSave("checkSomething,checkSomethingElse");
-```
-
-When an object is saved in your application, these two callbacks will be executed in the order that you registered them. The `checkSomething` method will be executed first, and unless it returns `false`, the `checkSomethingElse` method will be executed directly afterward.
-
-### Special Case #1: findAll() and the afterFind() Callback
-
-When you read about the [afterFind()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterfind.html) callback above, you may have thought that it must surely only work for [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html)/ [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html) calls but not for [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) because those calls return query result sets by default, not objects.
-
-Believe it or not, but callbacks are even triggered on [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html)! You do need to write your callback code differently though because there will be no `this` scope in the query object. Instead of modifying properties in the `this` scope like you normally would, the properties are passed to the callback method via the `arguments` struct.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Column Types
-
-We recommend that you respect the query column types. If you have a date / time value in the query, don't try to change it to a string for example. Some engines will allow it while others won't.
-{% endhint %}
-
-Does that sound complicated? This example should clear it up a little. Let's show some code to display how you can handle setting a `fullName` property on a hypothetical `artist` model.
-
-Because all [afterFind()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.afterfind.html) callbacks run when fetching records from the database, it's a good idea to check to make sure that the columns used in the method's logic exist before performing any operations. You mostly encounter this issue when using the `select` argument on a finder to limit the number of columns returned. But no worries! You can use `StructKeyExists()` and perform a simple check to make sure that the columns exists in the `arguments` scope.
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" output="false" {
-
-    public function config() {
-        afterFind("setFullName");
-    }
-
-    public function setFullName() {
-        arguments.fullName = "";
-        if ( StructKeyExists(arguments, "firstName")
-            && StructKeyExists(arguments, "lastName") ) {
-            arguments.fullName = Trim(
-                arguments.firstName & " " & arguments.lastName
-            );
-        }
-        return arguments;
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-In our example model, an artist's name can consist of both a first name and a last name ("John Mayer") or just the band / last name ("Abba."). The `setFullName()` method handles the logic to concatenate the names.
-
-Always remember to return the `arguments` struct, otherwise Wheels won't be able to tell that you actually wanted to make any changes to the query.
-
-Note that callbacks set on included models are not executed. Look at this example:
-
-```javascript
-fooBars = model("foo").findAll(include="bars");
-```
-
-That will cause callback to be executed on the `Foo` model but not the `Bar` model.
-
-### Special Case # 2: Callbacks and the updateAll() and deleteAll() Methods
-
-Please note that if you use the [updateAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updateall.html) or the [deleteAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.deleteall.html) methods in Wheels, they will not instantiate objects by default, and thus any callbacks will be skipped. This is good for performance reasons because if you update 1,000 records at once, you probably don't want to run the callbacks on each object. Especially not if they involve database calls.
-
-However, if you want to execute all callbacks in those methods as well, all you have to do is pass in `instantiate=true`to the [updateAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updateall.html)/ [deleteAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.deleteall.html) methods.

-title: Object Relational Mapping
-description: >-
-  An overview of Object Relational Mapping (ORM) and how is it used in Wheels.
-  Learn how ORM simplifies your database interaction code.
----
-
-# Object Relational Mapping
-
-Mapping objects in your application to records in your database tables is a key concept in Wheels. Let's take a look at exactly how this mapping is performed.
-
-### Class and Object Methods
-
-Unlike most other languages, there is no notion of class level (a.k.a. "static") methods in CFML. This means that even if you call a method that does not need to use any instance data, you still have to create an object first.
-
-In Wheels, we create an object like this:
-
-```javascript
-model("author");
-```
-
-The built-in Wheels [model()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.model.html) function will return a reference to an `author` object in the `application` scope (unless it's the first time you call this function, in which case it will also create and store it in the `application` scope).
-
-Once you have the `author` object, you can start calling class methods on it, like [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html), for example. [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html) returns an instance of the object with data from the database record defined by the key value that you pass.
-
-Obviously, `author` is just an example here, and you'll use the names of the `.cfc` files you have created in the `/app/models` folder.
-
-```javascript
-authorClass = model("author");
-authorObject = authorClass.findByKey(1);
-```
-
-For readability, this is usually combined into the following:
-
-```javascript
-authorObject = model("author").findByKey(1);
-```
-
-Now `authorObject` is an instance of the `Author` class, and you can call object level methods on it, like [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html) and [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html).
-
-```javascript
-authorObject.update(firstName="Joe");
-```
-
-In this case, the above code updates `firstName` field of the `author` record with a primary key value of `1` to `Joe`.
-
-### Primary Keys
-
-Traditionally in Wheels, a primary key is usually named `id`, it increments automatically, and it's of the `integer` data type. However, Wheels is very flexible in this area. You can setup your primary keys in practically any way you want to. You can use _natural_ keys (`varchar`, for example), _composite keys_ (having multiple columns as primary keys), and you can name the key(s) whatever you want.
-
-You can also choose whether the database creates the key for you (using auto-incrementation, for example) or create them yourself directly in your code.
-
-What's best, Wheels will introspect the database to see what choices you have made and act accordingly.
-
-### Tables and Classes
-
-Wheels comes with a custom built ORM. ORM stands for "Object-Relational Mapping" and means that tables in your relational database map to classes in your application. The records in your tables map to objects of your classes, and the columns in these tables map to properties on the objects.
-
-To create a class in your application that maps to a table in your database, all you need to do is create a new class file in your `/app/models` folder and make it extend the `Model.cfc` file.
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-}
-```
-
-If you don't intend to create any custom methods in your class, you can actually skip this step and just call methods without having a file created. It will work just as well. As your application grows, you'll probably want to have your own methods though, so remember the `/app/models` folder. That's where they'll go.
-
-Once you have created the file (or deliberately chosen not to for now), you will have a bunch of methods available handle reading and writing to the `authors` table. (For the purpose of showing some examples, we will assume that you have created a file named `Author.cfc`, which will then be mapped to the `authors` table in the database).
-
-For example, you can write the following code to get the author with the primary key of `1`, change his first name, and save the record back to the database.
-
-```javascript
-auth = model("author").findByKey(1);
-auth.firstName = "Joe";
-auth.save();
-```
-
-This code makes use of the class method [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html), updates the object property in memory, and then saves it back to the database using the object method [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html). We'll get back to all these methods and more later.
-
-### Table and CFC Naming
-
-By default, a table name should be the plural version of the class name. So if you have an `Author.cfc` class, the table name should be `authors`.
-
-To change this behavior you can use the [table()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.table.html) method. This method call should be placed in the `config()` method of your class file, which is where all configuration of your model is done.
-
-So, for example, if you wanted for your `author` model to map to a table in your database named `tbl_authors`, you would add the following code to the `config()` method:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-    table("tbl_authors");
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Models Without Database Tables
-
-Most of the time, you will want to have your model mapped to a database table. However, it is possible to skip this requirement with a simple setting:
-
-```javascript
-function config() {
-    table(false);
-}
-```
-
-With that in place, you have the foundation for a model that never touches the database. When you call methods like [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html), [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html), [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html), and [delete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.delete.html) on a tableless model, the entire model lifecycle will still run, including object validation and object callbacks.
-
-Typically, you will want to configure properties and validations manually for tableless models and then override [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) and other persistence methods needed by your application to persist with the data elsewhere (maybe in the `session` scope, an external NoSQL database, or as an email sent from a contact form).
-
-Features supported:
-
-- Properties
-- Validations
-- Callbacks involving initialisation and validations
-
-See [Building search forms with tableless models in Wheels](https://wheels.dev/blog/building-search-forms-with-tableless-models-in-wheels) for a worked-out example.
-
-### Columns and Properties
-
-Objects in Wheels have properties that correspond to the columns in the table that it maps to. The first time you call a method on a model, Wheels will reflect on the schema inside the database for the table the class maps to and extract all the column information.
-
-{% hint style="warning" %}
-#### Note about database permissions
-
-In order for Wheels to successfully read all schema data from your database be sure the data source user has the required access for your DBMS. For example, Microsoft SQL Server requires the "ddl\_admin" permission for some meta data such as column defaults.
-{% endhint %}
-
-To keep things as simple as possible, there are no getters or setters in Wheels. Instead, all the properties are made available in the `this` scope.
-
-If you want to map a specific property to a column with a different name, you can override the Wheels mapping by using the [property()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.property.html) method like this:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-    property(name="firstName", column="tbl_auth_f_name");
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Blank Strings and NULL Values
-
-Since there is no concept of `null` / `nil` in CFML, Wheels will assume that when you save a blank string to the database it should be converted to `NULL`.
-
-For this reason we recommend that you avoid having blank strings stored in the database (since there is no way to distinguish them from `NULL` values once they've been mapped to a Wheels object / result set).

-title: Object Validation
-description: >-
-  Wheels utilizes validation setup within the model to enforce appropriate data
-  constraints and persistence. Validation may be performed for saves, creates,
-  and updates.
----
-
-# Object Validation
-
-### Basic Setup
-
-In order to establish the full cycle of validation, 3 elements need to be in place:
-
-* **Model** file containing business logic for the database table. Example: `app/models/User.cfc`
-* **Controller** file for creating, saving or updating a model instance. Example: `app/controllers/Users.cfc`
-* **View** file for displaying the original data inputs and an error list. Example: `app/views/users/index.cfm`
-
-**Note**: Saving, creating, and updating model objects can also be done from the model file itself (or even in the view file if you want to veer completely off into the wild). But to keep things simple, all examples in this chapter will revolve around code in the controller files.
-
-### The Model
-
-Validations are always defined in the `config()` method of your model. This keeps everything nice and tidy because another developer can check `config()` to get a quick idea on how your model behaves.
-
-Let's dive right into a somewhat comprehensive example:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" output="false" {
-
- function config() {
-        validatesPresenceOf(
-            properties="firstName,lastName,email,age,password"
-        );
-        validatesLengthOf(properties="firstName,lastName", maximum=50);
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
-        validatesNumericalityOf(property="age", onlyInteger=true);
-        validatesConfirmationOf(property="password");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-This is fairly readable on its own, but this example defines the following rules that will be run before a create, update, or save is called:
-
-* The `firstName`, `lastName`, `email`, `age`, and `password` fields must be provided, and they can't be blank.
-* At maximum, `firstName` and `lastName` can each be up to 50 characters long.
-* The value provided for `email` cannot already be used in the database.
-* The value for `age` can only be an integer.
-* `password` must be provided twice, the second time via a field called `passwordConfirmation`.
-
-If any of these validations fail, Wheels will not commit the create or update to the database. As you'll see later in this chapter, the controller should check for this and react accordingly by showing error messages generated by the model.
-
-### Listing of Validation Functions
-
-* [validatesConfirmationOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatesconfirmationof.html)
-* [validatesExclusionOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatesexclusionof.html)
-* [validatesFormatOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatesformatof.html)
-* [validatesInclusionOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatesinclusionof.html)
-* [validatesLengthOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validateslengthof.html)
-* [validatesNumericalityOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatesnumericalityof.html)
-* [validatesPresenceOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatespresenceof.html)
-* [validatesUniquenessOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatesuniquenessof.html)
-* [validate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validate.html)
-* [validateOnCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validateoncreate.html)
-* [validateOnUpdate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validateonupdate.html)
-
-### Automatic Validations
-
-Now that you have a good understanding of how validations work in the model, here is a piece of good news. By default, Wheels will perform many of these validations for you based on how you have your fields set up in the database.
-
-By default, these validations will run without your needing to set up anything in the model:
-
-* Fields set to `NOT NULL` will automatically trigger [validatesPresenceOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatespresenceof.html).
-* Numeric fields will automatically trigger [validatesNumericalityOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatesnumericalityof.html).
-* Date or time fields will be checked for the appropriate format.
-* Fields that have a maximum length will automatically trigger [validatesLengthOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validateslengthof.html).
-
-Note these extra behaviors as well:
-
-* Automatic validations will not run for [Automatic Time Stamps](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/automatic-time-stamps).
-* If you've already set a validation on a particular property in your model, the automatic validations will be overridden by your settings.
-* If your database column provides a default value for a given field, Wheels will not enforce a [validatesPresenceOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatespresenceof.html)rule on that property.
-
-To disable automatic validations in your Wheels application, change this setting in `/config/settings.cfm:`
-
-```javascript
-set(automaticValidations=false);
-```
-
-You can also turn on or off the automatic validations on a per model basis by calling the [automaticValidations()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/v2.2/model.automaticValidations.html) method from a model's `config()` method.
-
-See the chapter on [Configuration and Defaults](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults) for more information on available Wheels ORM settings.
-
-### Use when, condition, or unless to Limit the Scope of Validation
-
-If you want to limit the scope of the validation, you have 3 arguments at your disposal: `when`, `condition`, and `unless`.
-
-### when Argument
-
-The `when` argument accepts 3 possible values.
-
-* `onSave` (the default)
-* `onCreate`
-* `onUpdate`
-
-To limit our email validation to run only on create, we would change that line to this:
-
-```javascript
-validatesUniquenessOf(property="email", when="onCreate");
-```
-
-### condition and unless Arguments
-
-`condition` and `unless` provide even more flexibility when the `when` argument isn't specific enough for your validation's needs.
-
-Each argument accepts a string containing an expression to evaluate. `condition` specifies when the validation should be run. `unless` specifies when the validation should not be run.
-
-As an example, let's say that the model should only verify a CAPTCHA if the user is logged out, but not when they enter their name as "Ben Forta":
-
-```javascript
-validate(
-    method="validateCaptcha",
-    condition="not isLoggedIn()",
-    unless="this.name is 'Ben Forta'"
-);
-```
-
-### Custom Validations
-
-At the end of the listing above are 3 custom validation functions: [validate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validate.html), [validateOnCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validateoncreate.html), and [validateOnUpdate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validateonupdate.html). These functions allow you to create your own validation rules that aren't covered by Wheels's out-of-the-box functions.
-
-There is only one difference between how the different functions work:
-
-* [validate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validate.html) runs on the save event, which happens on both create and update.
-* [validateOnCreate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validateoncreate.html) runs on create.
-* [validateOnUpdate()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validateonupdate.html) runs on update.
-
-To use a custom validation, we pass one of these functions a method or set of methods to run:
-
-```javascript
-validate(method="validateEmailFormat");
-```
-
-We then should create a method called `validateEmailFormat`, which in this case would verify that the value set for `this.email` is in the proper format. If not, then the method sets an error message for that field using the [addError()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.adderror.html)function.
-
-```javascript
-private function validateEmailFormat() {
-    if ( !IsValid("email", this.email) ) {
-        addError(property="email", message="Email address is not in a valid format.");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Note that `IsValid()` is a function build into your CFML engine.
-
-This is a simple rule, but you can surmise that this functionality can be used to do more complex validations as well. It's a great way to isolate complex validation rules into separate methods of your model.
-
-### Adding Errors to the Model Object as a Whole
-
-We've mainly focused on adding error messages at a property level, which admittedly is what you'll be doing 80% of the time. But we can also add messages at the model object level with the [addErrorToBase()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.adderrortobase.html) function.
-
-As an example, here's a custom validation method that doesn't allow the user to sign up for an account between the hours of 3:00 and 4:00 am in the server's time zone:
-
-```javascript
-private function disallowMaintenanceWindowRegistrations() {
-    local.hourNow = DatePart("h", Now());
-    if ( local.hourNow >= 3 && local.hourNow < 4 ) {
-        local.timeZone = CreateObject("java", "java.util.TimeZone").getDefault();
-        addErrorToBase(
-                message="We're sorry, but we don't allow new registrations between
-                the hours of 3:00 && 4:00 am #local.timeZone#."
-            );
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Sure, we could add logic to the view to also not show the registration form, but this validation in the model would make sure that data couldn't be posted via a script between those hours as well. Better safe than sorry if you're running a public-facing application!
-
-### The Controller
-
-The controller continues with the simplicity of validation setup, and at the most basic level requires only 5 lines of code to persist the form data or return to the original form page to display the list of errors.
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    public function save() {
-        //  User model from form fields via params
-        newUser = model("user").new(params.newUser);
-        //  Persist new user
-        if ( newUser.save() ) {
-            redirectTo(action="success");
-            //  Handle errors
-        } else {
-            renderView(action="index");
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-The first line of the action creates a `newUser` based on the `user` model and the form inputs (via the `params` struct).
-
-Now, to persist the object to the database, the model's [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) call can be placed within a `<cfif>` test. If the save succeeds, the [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) method will return `true`, and the contents of the `<cfif>` will be executed. But if any of the validations set up in the model fail, the [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) method returns `false`, and the `<cfelse>` will execute.
-
-The important step here is to recognize that the `<cfelse>` renders the original form input page using the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderView.html) function. When this happens, the view will use the `newUser` object defined in our [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) method. If a [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) were used instead, the validation information loaded in our [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) method would be lost.
-
-### The View
-
-Wheels factors out much of the error display code that you'll ever need. As you can see by this quick example, it appears to mainly be a normal form. But when there are errors in the provided model, Wheels will apply styles to the erroneous fields.
-
-```javascript
-<cfoutput>
-
-#errorMessagesFor("newUser")#
-
-#startFormTag(action="save")#
-    #textField(label="First Name", objectName="newUser", property="nameFirst")#
-    #textField(label="Last Name", objectName="newUser", property="nameLast")#
-    #textField(label="Email", objectName="newUser", property="email")#
-    #textField(label="Age", objectName="newUser", property="age")#
-    #passwordField(label="Password", objectName="newUser", property="password")#
-    #passwordField(
-        label="Re-type Password to Confirm", objectName="newUser",
-        property="passwordConfirmation"
-    )#
-    #submitTag()#
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-The biggest thing to note in this example is that a field called `passwordConfirmation` was provided so that the [validatesConfirmationOf()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.validatesConfirmationOf.html) validation in the model can be properly tested.
-
-For more information on how this code behaves when there is an error, refer to the [Form Helpers and Showing Errors](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/form-helpers-and-showing-errors) chapter.
-
-### Error Messages
-
-For your reference, here are the default error message formats for the different validation functions:
-
-| Function                  | Format                                  |
-| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
-| validatesConfirmationOf() | \[property] should match confirmation   |
-| validatesExclusionOf()    | \[property] is reserved                 |
-| validatesFormatOf()       | \[property] is invalid                  |
-| validatesInclusionOf()    | \[property] is not included in the list |
-| validatesLengthOf()       | \[property] is the wrong length         |
-| validatesNumericalityOf() | \[property] is not a number             |
-| validatesPresenceOf()     | \[property] can't be empty              |
-| validatesUniquenessOf()   | \[property] has already been taken      |
-
-### Custom Error Messages
-
-Wheels models provide a set of sensible defaults for validation errors. But sometimes you may want to show something different than the default.
-
-There are 2 ways to accomplish this: through global defaults in your config files or on a per-property basis.
-
-### Setting Global Defaults for Error Messages
-
-Using basic global defaults for the validation functions, you can set error messages in your config file at `/config/settings.cfm`.
-
-```javascript
-set(functionName="validatesPresenceOf", message="Please provide a value for [property]");
-```
-
-As you can see, you can inject the property's name by adding `[property]` to the message string. Wheels will automatically separate words based on your camelCasing of the variable names.
-
-### Setting an Error Message for a Specific Model Property
-
-Another way of adding a custom error message is by going into an individual property in the model and adding an argument named `message`.
-
-Here's a change that we may apply in the `config()` method of our model:
-
-```javascript
-validatesUniquenessOf(
-    property="email",
-    message="Email address is already in use in another account"
-);
-```

-title: Query Builder
----
-# Query Builder
-
-The query builder provides a fluent, chainable API for constructing database queries. It is an alternative to passing raw SQL strings to `findAll(where="...")`, with the added benefit of automatic value quoting for SQL injection safety.
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-Start a query chain by calling `.where()` on any model, then finish with a terminal method like `.get()`:
-
-```cfm
-users = model("User")
-    .where("status", "active")
-    .where("age", ">", 18)
-    .orderBy("name", "ASC")
-    .limit(25)
-    .get();
-```
-
-## WHERE Conditions
-
-### Equality
-
-```cfm
-// Two arguments: property, value
-model("User").where("status", "active").get();
-// Generates: status = 'active'
-```
-
-### Operators
-
-```cfm
-// Three arguments: property, operator, value
-model("User").where("age", ">", 18).get();
-model("User").where("views", ">=", 100).get();
-model("User").where("name", "LIKE", "%smith%").get();
-```
-
-### Raw Strings
-
-```cfm
-// One argument: raw WHERE clause (no auto-quoting)
-model("User").where("status = 'active' AND role = 'admin'").get();
-```
-
-### OR Conditions
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .where("role", "admin")
-    .orWhere("role", "superadmin")
-    .get();
-// Generates: role = 'admin' OR role = 'superadmin'
-```
-
-### NULL Checks
-
-```cfm
-model("User").whereNull("deletedAt").get();
-model("User").whereNotNull("emailVerifiedAt").get();
-```
-
-### BETWEEN
-
-```cfm
-model("Product").whereBetween("price", 10, 50).get();
-// Generates: price BETWEEN 10 AND 50
-```
-
-### IN / NOT IN
-
-```cfm
-// With a comma-delimited list
-model("User").whereIn("role", "admin,editor,author").get();
-
-// With an array
-model("User").whereIn("role", ["admin", "editor"]).get();
-
-// NOT IN
-model("User").whereNotIn("status", "banned,suspended").get();
-```
-
-## Ordering
-
-```cfm
-model("User").orderBy("name", "ASC").get();
-model("User").orderBy("createdAt", "DESC").get();
-
-// Multiple order clauses
-model("User")
-    .orderBy("lastName", "ASC")
-    .orderBy("firstName", "ASC")
-    .get();
-```
-
-## Limiting Results
-
-```cfm
-model("User").limit(10).get();
-model("User").offset(20).limit(10).get();
-```
-
-## Other Builder Methods
-
-```cfm
-// Select specific columns
-model("User").select("id,name,email").get();
-
-// Include associations
-model("User").include("profile,orders").get();
-
-// Group by
-model("Order").select("status,COUNT(id) as orderCount").group("status").get();
-
-// Distinct
-model("User").select("city").distinct().get();
-```
-
-## Terminal Methods
-
-Call one of these to execute the built query:
-
-| Method | Returns | Description |
-|--------|---------|-------------|
-| `get()` | query | Alias for `findAll()` |
-| `findAll()` | query | All matching records |
-| `first()` | object | Alias for `findOne()` |
-| `findOne()` | object | First matching record |
-| `count()` | numeric | Number of matching records |
-| `exists()` | boolean | Whether any records match |
-| `updateAll(...)` | numeric | Update matching records |
-| `deleteAll()` | numeric | Delete matching records |
-| `findEach(callback)` | void | Batch iterate one at a time |
-| `findInBatches(callback)` | void | Batch iterate in groups |
-
-## Combining with Scopes
-
-You can transition from scopes to the query builder at any point in the chain:
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .active()                    // scope
-    .where("role", "admin")      // query builder
-    .orderBy("name", "ASC")
-    .get();
-```
-
-See [Query Scopes](/v4-0-0-snapshot/database-interaction-through-models/query-scopes/) for defining reusable scope fragments.
-
-## SQL Injection Safety
-
-All values passed to `where()`, `whereBetween()`, `whereIn()`, and `whereNotIn()` are automatically quoted using the model's database adapter. You do not need to manually escape values:
-
-```cfm
-// Safe — value is auto-quoted
-model("User").where("name", userInput).get();
-
-// Also safe
-model("User").whereIn("id", userSuppliedIds).get();
-```
-
-Raw string WHERE clauses (single-argument `where()`) are passed through as-is. Avoid interpolating user input into raw strings.

-title: Query Scopes
----
-# Query Scopes
-
-Query scopes let you define reusable, composable query fragments on your models. Instead of repeating the same `where` or `order` clauses across your application, define them once in the model's `config()` and chain them together.
-
-## Defining Scopes
-
-Add scopes in your model's `config()` function using `scope()`:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Static scopes — fixed query fragments
-        scope(name="active", where="status = 'active'");
-        scope(name="recent", order="createdAt DESC");
-        scope(name="limited", maxRows=10);
-
-        // Dynamic scope — accepts arguments at call time
-        scope(name="byRole", handler="scopeByRole");
-    }
-
-    private struct function scopeByRole(required string role) {
-        return {where: "role = '#arguments.role#'"};
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Static Scopes
-
-Static scopes define a fixed set of query parameters. The `scope()` function accepts these keys:
-
-| Parameter | Description |
-|-----------|-------------|
-| `name` | The scope name (becomes the chainable method) |
-| `where` | SQL WHERE clause fragment |
-| `order` | SQL ORDER BY clause |
-| `select` | Columns to select |
-| `include` | Associated models to include |
-| `maxRows` | Limit the number of rows returned |
-
-### Dynamic Scopes
-
-Dynamic scopes use a `handler` function that returns a struct of query parameters. The handler receives whatever arguments the caller passes:
-
-```cfm
-scope(name="olderThan", handler="scopeOlderThan");
-
-private struct function scopeOlderThan(required numeric age) {
-    return {where: "age > #arguments.age#"};
-}
-```
-
-## Using Scopes
-
-Call scopes as methods on the model, then finish with a terminal method like `findAll()`, `findOne()`, `count()`, or `exists()`:
-
-```cfm
-// Single scope
-users = model("User").active().findAll();
-
-// Chained scopes — conditions are AND'd together
-users = model("User").active().recent().findAll();
-
-// Dynamic scope with argument
-admins = model("User").byRole("admin").findAll();
-
-// With additional finder arguments
-users = model("User").active().findAll(page=1, perPage=25);
-```
-
-## How Scopes Combine
-
-When you chain multiple scopes:
-
-- **WHERE** clauses are combined with `AND`
-- **ORDER BY** clauses are appended (first scope's order comes first)
-- **INCLUDE** clauses are appended
-- **SELECT** uses the last scope's value (last wins)
-- **maxRows** uses the smallest value
-
-```cfm
-// These two WHERE clauses become: (status = 'active') AND (role = 'admin')
-model("User").active().byRole("admin").findAll();
-```
-
-## Terminal Methods
-
-After building a scope chain, call one of these to execute the query:
-
-| Method | Returns |
-|--------|---------|
-| `findAll()` | Query result set |
-| `findOne()` | Single model object |
-| `findByKey(key)` | Model object by primary key |
-| `count()` | Number of matching records |
-| `exists()` | Boolean |
-| `average(property)` | Average value |
-| `sum(property)` | Sum of values |
-| `maximum(property)` | Maximum value |
-| `minimum(property)` | Minimum value |
-| `updateAll(...)` | Updates matching records |
-| `deleteAll()` | Deletes matching records |
-| `findEach(callback)` | Batch iteration (one at a time) |
-| `findInBatches(callback)` | Batch iteration (groups) |
-
-## Transitioning to the Query Builder
-
-You can move from a scope chain into the chainable query builder at any point:
-
-```cfm
-model("User")
-    .active()
-    .where("age", ">", 18)
-    .orderBy("name", "ASC")
-    .get();
-```
-
-See [Query Builder](/v4-0-0-snapshot/database-interaction-through-models/query-builder/) for the full fluent API.

-title: Reading Records
-description: Returning records from your database tables as objects or queries.
----
-
-# Reading Records
-
-
-
-Reading records from your database typically involves using one of the 3 finder methods available in Wheels: [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html), [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html), and [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html).
-
-The first 2 of these, [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html) and [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html), return an object, while the last one, findAll(), returns the result from a `cfquery` tag.
-
-### Fetching a Row by Primary Key Value
-
-Let's start by looking at the simplest of the finder methods, [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html). This method takes one argument: the primary key (or several keys if you're using composite keys) of the record you want to get.
-
-If the record exists, it is returned to you as an object. If not, Wheels will return the boolean value `false`.
-
-In the following example, we assume that the `params.key` variable has been created from the URL (for example a URL such as `http://localhost:8080/blog/viewauthor/7`.)
-
-In your controller:
-
-```javascript
-author = model("author").findByKey(params.key);
-if(!IsObject(author)){
-    flashInsert(message="Author #params.key# was not found");
-  redirectTo(back=true);
-}
-```
-
-In your view:
-
-```html
-<cfoutput>Hello, #author.firstName# #author.lastName#!</cfoutput>
-```
-
-### Fetching a Row by a Value Other Than the Primary Key
-
-Often, you'll find yourself wanting to get a record (or many) based on a criteria other than just the primary key value.
-
-As an example, let's say that you want to get the last order made by a customer. You can achieve this by using the `findOne()` method like so:
-
-```javascript
-anOrder = model("order").findOne(order="datePurchased DESC");
-```
-
-### Fetching Multiple Rows
-
-You can use [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) when you are asking to get one or more records from the database. Wheels will return this as a `cfquery` result (which could be empty if nothing was found based on your criteria).
-
-### Arguments for findOne() and findAll()
-
-Besides the difference in the default return type, [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html) and [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) accept the same arguments. Let's have a closer look at these arguments.
-
-### select Argument
-
-This maps to the `SELECT` clause of the SQL statement.
-
-Wheels is pretty smart when it comes to figuring out what to select from the database table(s). For example, if nothing is passed in to the `select` argument, Wheels will assume that you want all columns returned and create a `SELECT`clause looking something like this:
-
-```javascript
-artists.id,artists.name
-```
-
-As you can see, Wheels knows that the `artist` model is mapped to the `artists` table and will prepend the table name to the column names accordingly.
-
-If you have mapped columns to a different property name in your application, Wheels will take this into account as well. The end result then could look like this:
-
-```
-artists.id,artists.fname AS firstName
-```
-
-If you select from more than one table (see the `include` argument below) and there are ambiguous column names, Wheels will sort this out for you by prepending the model name to the column name.
-
-Let's say you have a column called `name` in both the `artists` and `albums` tables. The `SELECT` clause will be created like this:
-
-```
-artists.name,albums.name AS albumName
-```
-
-If you use the include argument a lot, you will love this feature as it saves a lot of typing.
-
-If you don't want to return all properties, you can override this behavior by passing in a list of the properties you want returned.
-
-If you want to take full control over the `SELECT` clause, you can do so by specifying the table names (i.e. `author.firstName`) in the `select` argument or by using alias names (i.e., `firstname AS firstName`). If Wheels comes across the use of any of these techniques, it will assume you know what you're doing and pass on the select argument straight to the `SELECT` clause with no changes.
-
-A tip is to turn on debugging when you're learning Wheels so you can get a good understanding of how Wheels creates the SQL statements.
-
-### where Argument
-
-This maps to the `WHERE` clause of the SQL statement. Wheels will also convert all your input to `cfqueryparam` tags for you automatically.
-
-There are some limitations to what you can use in the `where` argument, but the following SQL will work: `=, !=, <>, <, <=, >, >=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, IN, NOT IN, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, AND,` and `OR`. (Note that it's a requirement to write SQL keywords in upper case.) In addition to this, you can use parentheses to group conditional SQL statements together.
-
-It's worth mentioning that although Wheels does not support the `BETWEEN` operator, you can get around this by using `>=` and `<=`.
-
-Example with numeric value:
-
-```javascript
-items = model("item").findAll(where="price >= 100 AND price <= 500");
-```
-
-The same goes for `NOT BETWEEN`:
-
-```javascript
-items = model("item").findAll(where="price <= 100 OR price >= 500");
-```
-
-In Wheels ORM queries, you need to surround strings with single quotes or leave the quotes out if you're passing in a number or boolean.&#x20;
-
-Example with non-numeric value:
-
-```javascript
-bobsArticles = model("author").findAll(where="firstName='Bob'");
-```
-
-### order Argument
-
-This maps to the `ORDER` clause of the SQL statement. If you don't specify an order at all, none will be used. (Makes sense, eh?) So in those cases, the database engine will decide in what order to return the records. Note that it's a requirement to write the SQL keywords `ASC` and `DESC` in upper case.
-
-There is one exception to this. If you paginate the records (by passing in the `page` argument) without specifying the order, Wheels will order the results by the primary key column. This is because pagination relies on having unique records to order by.
-
-### include Argument
-
-This is a powerful feature that you can use if you have set up associations in your models.
-
-If, for example, you have specified that one `Author` has many `Articles`, then you can return all authors and articles in the same call by doing this:
-
-```javascript
-bobsArticles = model("author").findAll(where="firstName='Bob'", include="Articles");
-```
-
-### maxRows Argument
-
-This limits the number of records to return. Please note that if you call [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) with `maxRows=1`, you will still get a `cfquery` result back and not an object. (We recommend using [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html) in this case if you want for an object to be returned.)
-
-### page and perPage Arguments
-
-Set these if you want to get paginated data back.
-
-So if you wanted records 11-20, for example, you write this code:
-
-```javascript
-bobsArticles = model("author").findAll(
-        where="firstName='Bob'", include="Articles", page=2, perPage=10
-);
-```
-
-### cache Argument
-
-This is the number of minutes to cache the query for. This is eventually passed on to the `cachedwithin` attribute of the `cfquery` tag.
-
-### returnAs Argument
-
-In the beginning of this chapter, we said that you either get a query or an object back depending on the method that you call. But you can actually specify the return type so that you get either an object, a query, or an array of objects back.
-
-To do this, you use the `returnAs` argument. If you want an array of objects back from a [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) call, for example, you can do this:
-
-```javascript
-users = model("user").findAll(returnAs="objects");
-```
-
-On [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html) and [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html), you can set this argument to either `object` or `query`. On the [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) method, you can set it to `objects` (note the plural) or `query`.
-
-We recommend sticking to this convention as much as possible because of the CFML engines' slow `CreateObject()` function. Be careful when setting `returnAs` to `objects`. You won't want to create a lot of objects in your array and slow down your application unless you absolutely need to.
-
-### useIndex Argument
-
-If you have a specific index setup on a table that you'd like the `findAll()` call to use, you can specify a structure of arguments for each model/index you'd like to use. Only MySQL and SQLServer support index hints.
-
-```javascript
-model("author").findAll(
-    include="posts",
-    useIndex={
-      author="idx_authors_123",
-      post="idx_posts_123"
-		}
-);
-```
-
-### Ignoring Column(s)
-
-For the above finder methods you are able to ignore specified column(s). For instance this can be useful when working with an existing database that has many irrelevant columns. Ignoring column(s) is achieved by adjusting the desired model's config function like below.
-
-Ignoring one column:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-		function config() {
-			ignoredColumns(columns = ["column1"]);
-		}
-}
-```
-
-Ignoring multiple columns:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-		function config() {
-			ignoredColumns(columns = ["column1","column2"]);
-		}
-}
-```

-title: Soft Delete
-description: An easy way to keep deleted data in your database.
----
-
-# Soft Delete
-
-"Soft delete" in database lingo means that you set a flag on an existing table which indicates that a record has been deleted, instead of actually deleting the record.
-
-### How to Use Soft Deletion
-
-If you create a new date column (the column type will depend on your database vendor, but usually you want to use `date, datetime`, or `timestamp`) on a table and name it `deletedAt`, Wheels will automagically start using it to record soft deletes.
-
-Without the soft delete in place, a `delete()` call on an object will delete the record from the table using a `DELETE` statement. With the soft delete in place, an `UPDATE` statement is sent instead (that sets the `deletedAt` field to the current time).
-
-Of course, all other Wheels functions are smart enough to respect this. So if you use a `findAll()` function, for example, it will not return any record that has a value set in the `deletedAt` field.
-
-What this all means is that you're given a convenient way to keep deleted data in your database forever, while having your application function as if the data is not there.
-
-### Getting data including Soft Deletes
-
-Occasionally you might want to include data which has been flagged for deletion. You can do this easily by adding `includeSoftDeletes=true` to any `findAll` type call.
-
-Obviously, if you have any manual queries in your application, you'll need to remember to add `deletedAt IS NULL` to the `WHERE` part of your SQL statements instead.

-title: Transactions
-description: >-
-  Wheels automatically wraps your database calls in transactions to assist your
-  application in maintaining data integrity. Learn how to control this
-  functionality.
----
-
-# Transactions
-
-Database transactions are a way of grouping multiple queries together. They are useful in case the outcome of one query depends on the completion of another. For example, if you want to take money from one person's bank account, and transfer it into someone else's, you probably want to make sure the debit completes before running the credit.
-
-You'll be pleased to know that Wheels makes using database transactions easy. In fact, the vast majority of the time, you won't need to think about using them at all because Wheels automatically runs all queries within the callback chain as a single transaction for creates, updates, and deletes.
-
-If any of the callbacks within the chain return false, none of the queries will commit.
-
-For example, say you want to automatically create the first post when a new author subscribes to a blog.
-
-In your `Author` model, you would add the following code:
-
-{% code title="Author.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-  function config(){
-    afterCreate("createFirstPost");
-  }
-
-  function createFirstPost(){
-    var post = model("post").new(
-      authorId=this.id,
-      text="This is my first post!"
-    );
-    post.save();
-  }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In this example, if the post doesn't save (perhaps due to a validation problem), the author doesn't get created either. This helps to maintain database integrity.
-
-### Disabling Transactions
-
-If you want to manage transactions yourself using the `<cftransaction>` tag, you can simply add `transaction=false`to any CRUD method.
-
-```javascript
-model("author").create(name="John", transaction=false);
-```
-
-Another option is to disable transactions across your entire application using the `transactionMode` configuration:
-
-{% code title="/config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(transactionMode=false);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-See the chapter about [Configuration and Defaults](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults) for more details.
-
-### Using Rollbacks
-
-Sometimes it's useful to use a rollback to test a process without making any permanent changes to the database. To do this, add `transaction="rollback"` to any CRUD method.
-
-```javascript
-model("author").create(name="John", transaction="rollback");
-```
-
-Again, to configure your entire application to rollback _all_ transactions, you can set the `transactionMode` configuration to `rollback`.
-
-{% code title="/config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(transactionMode="rollback");
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Nesting Transactions with invokeWithTransaction
-
-One issue with ColdFusion is that you cannot nest `<cftransaction>` tags. In this case, Wheels provides a workaround. If you wish to run a method within a transaction, use [invokeWithTransaction()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.invokeWithTransaction.html), as below.
-
-```javascript
-invokeWithTransaction(
-    method="transferFunds",
-    personFrom=david,
-    personTo=mary,
-    amount=100
-);
-```

-title: Updating Records
-description: Updating records in your database tables.
----
-
-# Updating Records
-
-When you have created or retrieved an object, you can save it to the database by calling its [save()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.save.html) method. This method returns `true` if the object passes all validations and the object was saved to the database. Otherwise, it returns `false`.
-
-This chapter will focus on how to update records. Read the [Creating Records](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/creating-records) chapter for more information about how to create new records.
-
-### A Practical Example
-
-Let's start with an example of getting a blog post from the database, updating its title, and saving it back:
-
-```javascript
-post = model("post").findByKey(33);
-post.title = "New version of Wheels just released";
-post.save();
-```
-
-You can also change the values of one or more properties and save them to the database in one single call using the `update()` method, like this:
-
-```javascript
-post = model("post").findByKey(33);
-post.update(title="New version of Wheels just released");
-```
-
-### Updating Via struct Values
-
-You can also pass in name/value pairs to `update()` as a struct. The main reason this method accepts a struct is to allow you to easily use it with forms.
-
-This is how it would look if you wanted to update the properties for a post based on a submitted form.
-
-```javascript
-post = model("post").findByKey(params.key);
-post.update(params.post);
-```
-
-It's also possible to combine named arguments with a struct, but then you need to name the struct argument as `properties`.
-
-Example:
-
-```javascript
-post = model("post").findByKey(params.key);
-post.update(title="New version of Wheels just released", properties=params.post);
-```
-
-### Combine Reading and Updating into a Single Call
-
-To cut down even more on lines of code, you can also combine the reading and saving of the objects by using the class-level methods [updateByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updatebykey.html) and [updateAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updateall.html).
-
-### The updateByKey() Method
-
-Give the [updateByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updatebykey.html) method a primary key value (or several if you use composite keys) in the `key` argument, and it will update the corresponding record in your table with the properties you give it. You can pass in the properties either as named arguments or as a struct to the `properties` argument.
-
-This method returns the object with the primary key value you specified. If the object does not pass validation, it will be returned anyway, but nothing will be saved to the database.
-
-By default, [updateByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updatebykey.html) will fetch the object first and call the `update()` method on it, thus invoking any callbacks and validations you have specified for the model. You can change this behavior by passing in `instantiate=false`. Then it will just update the record from the table using a simple UPDATE query.
-
-An example of using [updateByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updatebykey.html) by passing a struct:
-
-```javascript
-result = model("post").updateByKey(33, params.post);
-```
-
-And an example of using [updateByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updatebykey.html) by passing named arguments:
-
-```javascript
-result = model("post").updateByKey(id=33, title="New version of Wheels just released", published=1);
-```
-
-### Updating Multiple Rows with updateAll()
-
-The [updateAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updateall.html) method allows you to update more than one record in a single call. You specify what records to update with the `where` argument and tell Wheels what updates to make using named arguments for the properties.
-
-The `where` argument is used exactly as you specify it in the `WHERE` clause of the query (with the exception that Wheels automatically wraps everything properly in `cfqueryparam` tags). So make sure that you place those commas and quotes correctly!
-
-An example:
-
-```javascript
-recordsReturned = model("post").updateAll(
-        published=1, publishedAt=Now(), where="published=0"
-);
-```
-
-Unlike [updateByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updatebykey.html), the [updateAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.updateall.html) method will not instantiate the objects by default. That could be really slow if you wanted to update a lot of records at once.

-title: Using Multiple Data Sources
-description: How to use more than one database in your Wheels application.
----
-
-# Using Multiple Data Sources
-
-Sometimes you need to pull data from more than one database, whether it's by choice (for performance or security reasons, perhaps) or because that's the way your infrastructure is set up. It's something you have to find a way to deal with.
-
-Wheels has built-in functionality for this so that you don't have to revert back to writing the queries and setting the data source manually whenever you need to use a data source other than the default one. In order accomplish this, you will use the [dataSource()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.datasource.html) function.
-
-### Using the dataSource() Function
-
-Overriding the default data source is done on a per model basis in Wheels by calling the [dataSource()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.datasource.html)function from within your model's `config()` method. By doing this, you instruct wheels to use that data source whenever it interacts with that model.
-
-Here's an example of a model file:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-  function config(){
-    dataSource("mySecondDatabase");
-  }
-
-}
-```
-
-It's important to note that in order for Wheels to use the data source, it must first be configured in your respective CFML engine (i.e. in the Adobe ColdFusion, Lucee Admin etc).
-
-### Does Not Work with Associations
-
-One thing to keep in mind when using multiple data sources with Wheels is that it doesn't work across associations. When including another model within a query, Wheels will use the calling model's data source for the context of the query.
-
-Let's say you have the following models set up:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/Photo.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-  function config(){
-    dataSource("myFirstDatabase");
-    hasMany("photoGalleries");
-  }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% code title="/app/models/PhotoGallery.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-  function config(){
-    dataSource("mySecondDatabase");
-  }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Because the `photo` model is the main model being used in the following example, its data source (`myFirstDatabase`) will be the one used in the query that [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) ends up executing.
-
-{% code title="FindAll Call" %}
-```javascript
-myPhotos = model("photo").findAll(include="photoGalleries");
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Automatic Datasource Switching with Multi-Tenancy
-
-If you're building a multi-tenant application where each tenant has its own database, Wheels can automatically switch the datasource on every request — no manual `dataSource()` calls needed.
-
-When the **TenantResolver** middleware is active, all model queries are automatically routed to the current tenant's datasource. Models that should always use the central (default) datasource — like a `Tenant` registry table — can opt out by calling `sharedModel()` in their `config()`:
-
-```javascript
-// app/models/Tenant.cfc — always uses the default datasource
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-For the full setup guide, see [Multi-Tenancy](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/multi-tenancy/).

-title: Using SQLite with Wheels
-description: >-
-  Learn how to use SQLite with Wheels for lightweight, file-based database
-  development and testing. Understand SQLite's capabilities, limitations, and
-  best practices.
----
-
-# Using SQLite with Wheels
-
-SQLite is a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, file-based SQL database engine. It's perfect for development, testing, and lightweight applications. Wheels provides full support for SQLite with some important considerations to keep in mind.
-
-## What is SQLite?
-
-SQLite is different from traditional client-server databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server:
-
-- **File-Based**: The entire database is stored in a single file on disk
-- **Zero Configuration**: No server setup or administration required
-- **Lightweight**: Minimal memory footprint and fast performance
-- **Cross-Platform**: Works identically on Windows, macOS, and Linux
-- **ACID Compliant**: Supports transactions with full ACID properties
-
-## When to Use SQLite
-
-### Ideal Use Cases
-
-- **Local Development**: Fast setup without running a database server
-- **Automated Testing**: Clean, isolated test databases for each test run
-- **Prototyping**: Quick proof-of-concept applications
-- **Small Applications**: Desktop apps, mobile apps, or embedded systems
-- **Read-Heavy Workloads**: Applications with more reads than writes
-
-### Not Recommended For
-
-- **High-Concurrency Writes**: SQLite locks the entire database file during writes
-- **Large-Scale Production**: Better options exist for high-traffic applications
-- **Distributed Systems**: Not designed for multi-server architectures
-- **Network File Systems**: Performance degrades significantly on NFS/SMB
-
-## Setting Up SQLite
-
-### Installation
-
-SQLite support is built into most CFML engines, but you may need to add the JDBC driver:
-
-#### Lucee and Adobe ColdFusion
-
-Download the SQLite JDBC driver from [GitHub](https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/releases) and place it in your server classpath:
-
-```bash
-# Copy the JAR to server's lib directory
-cp sqlite-jdbc-3.50.3.0.jar /path/to/coldfusion/lib/
-```
-
-Restart the server after adding the driver.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**Note for Adobe ColdFusion 2018:**
-Adobe ColdFusion 2018 already ships with a SQLite JDBC driver in its classpath, but this bundled version is outdated and may cause compatibility issues.
-To use a newer SQLite version, you should remove the existing SQLite JAR from the ColdFusion classpath and replace it with the latest driver downloaded from GitHub, then restart the server.
-{% endhint %}
-
-#### Boxlang
-
-Download the SQLite module for Boxlang from [ForgeBox](https://forgebox.io/view/bx-sqlite) or simply list it as a dependency in your `box.json` file and then run `install` command to install all dependencies. Your box.json may look something like this:
-
-```bash
-{
-  "dependencies" : {
-    "wheels-core":"3.1.0-SNAPSHOT",
-    "testbox":"^6",
-    "bx-compat-cfml":"^1.27.0+35",
-    "bx-csrf":"^1.2.0+3",
-    "bx-esapi":"^1.6.0+9",
-    "bx-image":"^1.0.1",
-    "bx-wddx":"^1.5.0+8",
-    "bx-sqlite":"^1.1.0+2"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Creating a Data Source
-
-#### Using CFConfig (Recommended)
-
-Create a `CFConfig.json` in your project root:
-
-{% code title="CFConfig.json" %}
-```json
-{
-  "datasources": {
-    "myapp": {
-      "class": "org.sqlite.JDBC",
-      "connectionString": "jdbc:sqlite:db/myapp.db",
-      "database": "db/myapp.db"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-#### Using ColdFusion Administrator
-
-1. Navigate to **Data & Services** > **Data Sources**
-2. Add a new data source with these settings:
-   - **Name**: `myapp`
-   - **Driver**: Other (or SQLite if available)
-   - **JDBC Class**: `org.sqlite.JDBC`
-   - **JDBC URL**: `jdbc:sqlite:db/myapp.db`
-
-### Wheels Configuration
-
-Update your Wheels configuration to use SQLite:
-
-{% code title="/config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-<cfscript>
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp");
-set(dataSourceUserName = "");  // SQLite doesn't use authentication
-set(dataSourcePassword = "");
-</cfscript>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-## Working with SQLite in Wheels
-
-### Basic Model Operations
-
-SQLite works seamlessly with Wheels' ActiveRecord pattern:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/User.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // Associations work normally
-        hasMany("posts");
-        hasMany("comments");
-
-        // Validations work normally
-        validatesPresenceOf("email,username");
-        validatesUniquenessOf("email");
-
-        // Timestamps work automatically
-        // SQLite stores datetime as TEXT in ISO 8601 format
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Creating Records
-
-```javascript
-// In your controller
-user = model("User").create({
-    username: "john",
-    email: "john@example.com",
-    createdAt: Now(),  // Automatically converted to ISO 8601 text
-    updatedAt: Now()
-});
-```
-
-### Querying Records
-
-All standard Wheels query methods work with SQLite:
-
-```javascript
-// Find all users
-users = model("User").findAll(order="createdAt DESC");
-
-// Find with conditions
-activeUsers = model("User").findAll(where="active = 1");
-
-// Find with associations
-posts = model("Post").findAll(include="user,comments");
-
-// Pagination
-users = model("User").findAll(page=params.page, perPage=25);
-```
-
-## SQLite-Specific Considerations
-
-### Data Types
-
-SQLite uses a **dynamic type system** with type affinity rather than strict types. When you declare a column type, SQLite assigns a "type affinity" that suggests how values should be stored, but it doesn't enforce it strictly. Wheels automatically maps CFML types to SQLite storage classes:
-
-| Wheels Type | SQLite Affinity | Stored As | Notes |
-|-------------|-----------------|-----------|-------|
-| `string` | `TEXT` | TEXT | Variable length text, UTF-8 |
-| `integer` | `INTEGER` | INTEGER | 64-bit signed integer (up to 8 bytes) |
-| `float` | `REAL` | REAL | 8-byte IEEE floating point |
-| `decimal` | `REAL` | REAL | Can be INTEGER, REAL, or TEXT depending on value |
-| `boolean` | `INTEGER` | INTEGER | 0 = false, 1 = true |
-| `datetime` | `TEXT` | TEXT | ISO 8601 format: `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` |
-| `date` | `TEXT` | TEXT | ISO 8601 format: `YYYY-MM-DD` |
-| `time` | `TEXT` | TEXT | ISO 8601 format: `HH:MM:SS` |
-| `blob` | `BLOB` | BLOB | Binary data as-is |
-
-**SQLite's Five Storage Classes**:
-1. `NULL` - The value is a NULL value
-2. `INTEGER` - Signed integer (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 bytes)
-3. `REAL` - Floating point value (8-byte IEEE)
-4. `TEXT` - Text string (UTF-8, UTF-16BE, or UTF-16LE)
-5. `BLOB` - Blob of data, stored exactly as input
-
-**Important**: SQLite does not have a native datetime type. Wheels stores datetime values as TEXT in ISO 8601 format for maximum compatibility and readability.
-
-### DateTime Handling
-
-Wheels automatically converts CFML datetime objects to ISO 8601 text format for SQLite:
-
-```javascript
-// This works automatically
-user = model("User").new();
-user.createdAt = Now();  // Stored as "2025-10-30 11:12:34"
-user.save();
-
-// Timestamps are set automatically
-user = model("User").create({username: "john"});
-// createdAt and updatedAt are automatically set as ISO 8601 text
-```
-
-### DateTime Handling in Migrations
-
-SQLite does not support ColdFusion datetime literals (for example `{ts '2025-01-01 10:00:00'}` or any datetime expression generated by CFML functions). Instead, SQLite stores all datetime values using the TEXT datatype in ISO-8601 format.
-
-Because of this, when working inside migrations, you must not pass any CFML datetime literal to SQLite, or it will throw an error.
-
-`addRecord()` and `updateRecord()` Handling
-
-Unlike `removeRecord()`, the `addRecord()` and `updateRecord()` migration functions can safely accept ColdFusion datetime literals.
-
-If you pass a CFML datetime literal (e.g., now(), createDateTime(), {ts '...'}) into addRecord() or updateRecord(), the migration system automatically converts the value into a valid SQLite-friendly ISO-8601 text string before inserting or updating the record.
-
-This means:
-
-```javascript
-addRecord(table = "products", data  = { createdAt = now() })
-
-and
-
-updateRecord(table = "products", data  = { updatedAt = createDateTime(2025,1,1,10,0,0) }, where = "id = 5")
-```
-
-will both work correctly.
-
-#### removeRecord() Restrictions
-
-removeRecord() does not convert datetime literals.
-Therefore, you must never use CFML datetime expressions inside the where clause in removeRecord().
-
-ColdFusion date/time functions (e.g. now(), dateAdd(), createDateTime()) generate CFML datetime literals which SQLite cannot understand.
-
-SQLite expects datetime values to be plain quoted text strings.
-
-Correct Usage in removeRecord()
-
-If you need to match a datetime using removeRecord(), manually provide the value as text:
-
-```javascript
-removeRecord(table = "products", where = "time = '2025-12-08 10:30:00'")
-
-Incorrect Usage (Will Fail):
-removeRecord(table = "products", where = "time = #now()#")
-```
-
-ColdFusion expands now() into a datetime literal which SQLite cannot parse.
-
-### Migrations
-
-Create and run migrations normally:
-
-```bash
-# Generate a migration
-wheels g migration CreateUsersTable
-
-# Run migrations
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-{% code title="/app/migrator/migrations/20231030112345_create_users_table.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" {
-
-    function up() {
-        t = createTable("users");
-        t.string("username", limit=50, null=false);
-        t.string("email", limit=100, null=false);
-        t.boolean("active", default=true);
-        t.datetime("lastLoginAt");  // Stored as TEXT
-        t.timestamps();  // Creates createdAt and updatedAt as TEXT
-        t.create();
-
-        // Indexes work normally
-        addIndex(table="users", columnNames="email", unique=true);
-    }
-
-    function down() {
-        dropTable("users");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-## Limitations and Workarounds
-
-### ALTER TABLE Limitations
-
-SQLite has limited `ALTER TABLE` support compared to other databases. The only operations directly supported are:
-
-- **Rename table**: `ALTER TABLE old_name RENAME TO new_name`
-- **Rename column**: `ALTER TABLE table RENAME COLUMN old_col TO new_col` (SQLite 3.25.0+)
-- **Add column**: `ALTER TABLE table ADD COLUMN new_col TEXT` (with restrictions - cannot have UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, or CHECK constraints, and cannot be NOT NULL unless you provide a DEFAULT value)
-- **Drop column**: `ALTER TABLE table DROP COLUMN col_name` (SQLite 3.35.0+ only)
-
-You **cannot** directly:
-
-- Add or remove foreign key constraints on existing tables
-- Modify column types
-- Add constraints (UNIQUE, CHECK, NOT NULL, etc.) to existing columns
-- Change default values on existing columns
-
-**Workaround**: Use the table recreation pattern in migrations:
-
-```javascript
-function up() {
-    // Backup data
-    execute("CREATE TABLE users_backup AS SELECT * FROM users");
-
-    // Drop old table
-    dropTable("users");
-
-    // Create new table with changes
-    t = createTable("users");
-    t.string("username");
-    t.string("email");
-    t.string("newColumn");  // New column added
-    t.create();
-
-    // Restore data
-    execute("INSERT INTO users (username, email) SELECT username, email FROM users_backup");
-    dropTable("users_backup");
-}
-```
-
-### Foreign Key Constraints
-
-SQLite supports foreign keys, but they are **disabled by default** for backwards compatibility. You must enable them per connection:
-
-```javascript
-// In onrequeststart.cfm or before each query that relies on FK constraints
-<cfscript>
-    queryExecute("PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON", [], {datasource: "myapp"});
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-**Important Notes**:
-- `PRAGMA foreign_keys` must be set on **each new database connection**. It does not persist.
-- If using connection pooling, you may need to disable it or ensure the PRAGMA is set for each connection.
-- Foreign key constraints are checked only when `PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON` is active.
-- Wheels automatically handles foreign key differences across databases, but you should be aware of this when writing raw SQL queries or relying on CASCADE behavior.
-
-### Concurrent Writes
-
-SQLite uses table-level locking during write operations in rollback journal mode. Only one write transaction can be active at a time, which can limit performance when multiple writes occur simultaneously. This behavior makes it less suitable for applications with high write concurrency.
-
-If your application performs frequent concurrent writes, consider the following options:
-
-- Use a dedicated database server such as MySQL or PostgreSQL for production environments.
-- Reserve SQLite for development or testing, where simplicity and portability matter more than concurrency.
-- Enable Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) mode to improve concurrency and allow simultaneous reads and writes:
-
-```javascript
-// Enable WAL mode for better concurrent access
-queryExecute("PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL", [], { datasource: "myapp" });
-```
-
-**Note about WAL mode**: Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) mode allows multiple readers to operate concurrently with a single writer by logging changes to a separate `-wal` file. Readers see a consistent snapshot while writes are being made. WAL mode is persistent per database file and significantly improves concurrency, but it creates additional files (`-wal` and `-shm`) alongside your database file.
-
-### Case Sensitivity
-
-SQLite's default collation (`BINARY`) is **case-sensitive** for text comparisons. However, the `LIKE` operator is case-insensitive for ASCII characters by default:
-
-```javascript
-// Case-sensitive comparison with = operator
-users = model("User").findAll(where="email = 'john@example.com'");
-// This will NOT match 'JOHN@EXAMPLE.COM'
-
-// Case-insensitive comparison using LIKE
-users = model("User").findAll(where="email LIKE 'john@example.com'");
-// This WILL match 'JOHN@EXAMPLE.COM'
-
-// Explicit case-insensitive comparison using COLLATE NOCASE
-users = model("User").findAll(where="email = 'john@example.com' COLLATE NOCASE");
-// This WILL match 'JOHN@EXAMPLE.COM'
-
-// Or define COLLATE at column level in migration
-t.string("email", collate="NOCASE");
-```
-
-**Recommendation**: Define collation at the column level in your migrations for consistent behavior.
-
-## Testing with SQLite
-
-SQLite is excellent for automated testing:
-
-### In-Memory Databases
-
-Use in-memory databases for ultra-fast tests:
-
-{% code title="/config/test/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-<cfscript>
-// Use in-memory database for tests
-set(dataSourceName = "test_db");
-
-// Configure in CFConfig.json:
-// "connectionString": "jdbc:sqlite::memory:"
-</cfscript>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Per-Test Isolation
-
-Create a new database file for each test for complete isolation:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="wheels.Test" {
-
-    function setup() {
-        // Create unique DB for this test
-        variables.testDB = "test_" & CreateUUID() & ".db";
-        application.wheels.dataSourceName = variables.testDB;
-
-        // Run migrations
-        runMigrations();
-    }
-
-    function teardown() {
-        // Clean up test database
-        if (FileExists(variables.testDB)) {
-            FileDelete(variables.testDB);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Performance Optimization
-
-### Indexes
-
-Create indexes for frequently queried columns:
-
-```javascript
-// In migrations
-addIndex(table="users", columnNames="email");
-addIndex(table="posts", columnNames="userId,createdAt");
-
-// Or in models
-function config() {
-    // Wheels doesn't auto-create indexes, define in migrations
-}
-```
-
-### Analyze and Optimize
-
-Run SQLite's ANALYZE command periodically:
-
-```javascript
-// Update query planner statistics
-queryExecute("ANALYZE", [], {datasource: "myapp"});
-```
-
-### Connection Pooling
-
-For SQLite, connection pooling behavior depends on your CFML engine and use case:
-
-**For single-user applications** (development, testing):
-- Disable pooling and use a single connection to avoid locking issues
-
-**For multi-threaded applications**:
-- Limited connection pool may be beneficial with WAL mode enabled
-- Without WAL mode, multiple connections can cause SQLITE_BUSY errors
-
-{% code title="CFConfig.json" %}
-```json
-{
-  "datasources": {
-    "myapp": {
-      "class": "org.sqlite.JDBC",
-      "connectionString": "jdbc:sqlite:db/myapp.db",
-      "maxConnections": 1,
-      "pooled": false
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-If using WAL mode for better concurrency:
-
-```json
-{
-  "datasources": {
-    "myapp": {
-      "class": "org.sqlite.JDBC",
-      "connectionString": "jdbc:sqlite:db/myapp.db?journal_mode=WAL",
-      "maxConnections": 5,
-      "pooled": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Database is Locked Error
-
-**Symptom**: `[SQLITE_ERROR] A table in the database is locked`
-
-**Causes**:
-- Multiple connections trying to write simultaneously
-- Long-running transactions
-- Metadata queries interfering with DDL operations
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Ensure only one write operation at a time
-2. Use shorter transactions
-3. Increase busy timeout:
-
-```javascript
-queryExecute("PRAGMA busy_timeout = 10000", [], {datasource: "myapp"});
-```
-
-### Datetime Format Issues
-
-**Symptom**: Datetime values not saving or comparing correctly
-
-**Solution**: Wheels automatically handles datetime conversion. Ensure you're using Wheels' datetime functions:
-
-```javascript
-// Correct
-user.createdAt = Now();
-user.save();
-
-// Incorrect (manual string formatting)
-user.createdAt = DateFormat(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd");
-```
-
-### Missing JDBC Driver

-**Symptom**: `Unable to load class: org.sqlite.JDBC`
-
-**Solution**: Download and install the SQLite JDBC driver (see Installation section above).
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Do
-
-- Use SQLite for development and testing environments
-- Enable foreign keys per connection if using constraints: `PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON`
-- Use migrations for schema changes rather than manual ALTER TABLE commands
-- Keep database files in your project's `db/` directory (not in web root)
-- Add `*.db`, `*.db-journal`, `*.db-wal`, `*.db-shm` to `.gitignore`
-- Enable WAL mode for applications with concurrent reads: `PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL`
-- Set busy timeout to handle temporary locks: `PRAGMA busy_timeout=10000`
-- Use indexes on frequently queried columns for better performance
-- Use transactions for bulk operations to improve performance
-- Run `VACUUM` periodically to reclaim unused space and defragment
-- Run `ANALYZE` after significant data changes to update query planner statistics
-
-### Don't
-
-- Use SQLite for high-concurrency write applications
-- Store databases on network file systems (NFS/SMB/CIFS) - this can cause corruption
-- Keep long-running transactions open - this blocks other writers
-- Assume column types are strictly enforced - SQLite uses type affinity
-- Forget to enable foreign keys if your schema relies on them
-- Forget to back up your database files regularly
-- Use `DELETE` on large tables without `VACUUM` - space won't be reclaimed
-- Assume case-insensitive comparisons work like other databases - they don't by default
-

-├── CFConfig.json
-└── .gitignore                  # Add *.db here
-```
-
-{% code title=".gitignore" %}
-```
-# Ignore SQLite database files
-db/*.db
-db/*.db-journal
-db/*.db-wal
-db/*.db-shm
-
-# Keep directory structure
-!db/.gitkeep
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-## Migration from SQLite to Production Database
-
-When moving to production, you'll typically migrate from SQLite to a more robust database:
-
-### 1. Update Configuration
-
-{% code title="/config/production/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-<cfscript>
-set(dataSourceName = "myapp_production");
-set(dataSourceUserName = "dbuser");
-set(dataSourcePassword = "dbpassword");
-</cfscript>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### 2. Export Data
-
-```bash
-# Export SQLite data to SQL (full schema and data)
-sqlite3 db/development.db .dump > dump.sql
-
-# Export only data (no schema)
-sqlite3 db/development.db "SELECT * FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'" | \
-  sqlite3 db/development.db .dump | grep "^INSERT" > data.sql
-
-# Export specific tables
-sqlite3 db/development.db "SELECT sql FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='users'" > schema.sql
-sqlite3 db/development.db ".mode insert users" "SELECT * FROM users" >> data.sql
-```
-
-### 3. Import to New Database
-
-```bash
-# For MySQL
-mysql -u dbuser -p myapp_production < dump.sql
-
-# For PostgreSQL
-psql -U dbuser -d myapp_production -f dump.sql
-```
-
-### 4. Test Thoroughly
-
-Ensure all queries work correctly with the new database adapter. Watch for:
-- SQL dialect differences
-- Date/time format differences
-- Case sensitivity differences
-- Transaction behavior differences

-## Summary
-
-SQLite is an excellent choice for Wheels development and testing:
-
-- **Zero configuration** makes it perfect for getting started quickly
-- **File-based** nature simplifies deployment and backup
-- **Full ORM support** works seamlessly with Wheels' ActiveRecord pattern
-- **Limitations** are well-understood and can be worked around
-- **Migration path** to production databases is straightforward
-
-Use SQLite to accelerate your development workflow, and migrate to a client-server database when your application demands higher concurrency and scale.

+description: Session auth, JWT tokens, API tokens — rolling your own vs using Wheels' built-in strategies.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 1

+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to wire authentication into a Wheels app using the built-in strategies. You'll register an `Authenticator` in the DI container, add `SessionStrategy` for browser logins, layer in `JwtStrategy` or `TokenStrategy` for API clients, and combine them so one app serves both HTML and JSON without branching logic in every controller.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to register `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` for classic cookie-based login
+- How to hash passwords today, given the current bcrypt gap
+- How to add `wheels.auth.JwtStrategy` and `wheels.auth.TokenStrategy` for API auth
+- How to combine strategies so session auth protects HTML routes and token auth protects `/api/*`
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know: Wheels controllers, filters, and the `session` scope (see [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/)), plus the end-to-end login flow walked through in [Tutorial Part 6: Authentication](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/06-authentication/). This page assumes you've read both and picks up where Part 6b leaves off.
+</Aside>
+
+## The pieces
+
+Wheels ships four auth components under `wheels.auth.*`:
+
+| Component | Role |
+|-----------|------|
+| `Authenticator` | Registry that tries registered strategies in order and returns the first success. |
+| `SessionStrategy` | Reads a principal struct from the `session` scope. Handles login/logout. |
+| `TokenStrategy` | Validates an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header (or `?api_key=`) against a validator callback or a static token map. |
+| `JwtStrategy` | Validates a signed JWT (`Authorization: Bearer <jwt>`) via `JwtService`. |
+
+Each strategy implements a small interface (`getName()`, `supports(request)`, `authenticate(request)`). The authenticator picks the first strategy whose `supports()` returns true, runs its `authenticate()`, and returns a result struct:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type"
+{
+    success: true,
+    principal: { id: 42, email: "alice@example.com", role: "admin" },
+    strategy: "session",
+    error: "",
+    statusCode: 200
+}
+```
+
+Controllers care about `result.success` and `result.principal`. They do not care which strategy produced the result — that's the whole point of the registry.
+
+## Session auth with `SessionStrategy`
+
+The built-in session flow is what Tutorial Part 6b walks you through. Register once in `config/services.cfm`, wire the strategy into the authenticator, then call `service("authenticator").authenticate(request)` from a filter.
+
+### Register the authenticator and strategy
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/services.cfm"
+var di = injector();
+
+di.map("authenticator").to("wheels.auth.Authenticator").asSingleton();
+di.map("sessionStrategy").to("wheels.auth.SessionStrategy").asSingleton();
+```
+
+Both are singletons — one instance per app lifetime. The authenticator holds its strategy registry in instance state, so a singleton is the correct scope.
+
+Wire the session strategy into the authenticator on app init. A cold reload registers it once; the `hasStrategy` check keeps a second reload from stacking duplicates:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/app.cfm or equivalent init hook"
+if (StructKeyExists(application, "wheelsdi") && application.wheelsdi.containsInstance("authenticator")) {
+    var auth = service("authenticator");
+    var sessionStrategy = service("sessionStrategy");
+    if (!auth.hasStrategy("session")) {
+        auth.registerStrategy(name="session", strategy=sessionStrategy);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  The short `service("authenticator")` form and the long `application.wo.service("authenticator")` form resolve to the same instance. Use the short one in controllers, views, and other files that are already running inside the framework; the long form is only needed at app-init time when the global helper isn't in scope yet.
+</Aside>
+
+### Log in, log out, protect actions
+
+After verifying the password in your `Sessions` controller, call `sessionStrategy.login(principal)` to stash the identity. `logout()` tears it down:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Sessions.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function new() {
+    }
+
+    function create() {
+        user = model("User").findOne(where="email = :email", values={email: LCase(Trim(params.email ?: ""))});
+        if (IsObject(user) && user.authenticate(params.password ?: "")) {
+            service("sessionStrategy").login(principal={id: user.id, email: user.email});
+            redirectTo(route="posts", success="Welcome back.");
+        } else {
+            flashInsert(error="Invalid email or password");
+            redirectTo(route="login");
+        }
+    }
+
+    function delete() {
+        service("sessionStrategy").logout();
+        redirectTo(route="login", success="Logged out.");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The principal struct is whatever shape you pick — `{id, email}` is a reasonable minimum; richer apps store `{id, email, roles, displayName}`. The strategy round-trips the struct verbatim.
+
+Protect controller actions with a filter that asks the authenticator:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+    }
+
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").findAll();
+    }
+
+    private function authenticate() {
+        var result = service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+        if (!result.success) {
+            flashInsert(error="Please log in first");
+            redirectTo(route="login");
+        }
+    }
+
+    private function $currentUserId() {
+        var result = service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+        return result.success ? (result.principal.id ?: 0) : 0;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The filter must be `private`. A `public` filter becomes a routable action — Wheels will happily serve `/posts/authenticate` and run the filter body as an action. `$currentUserId()` uses the `$` prefix to mark it as internal by convention.
+
+## Password hashing
+
+Model-level hashing stays the same regardless of which strategy you use — the strategy doesn't touch passwords, it just round-trips a principal struct after you've already verified credentials.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  **Bcrypt is not shipped with Wheels 4.0.** `hash(pw, "BCRYPT")` throws "bcrypt MessageDigest not available" in the bundled Lucee. Until that lands, the examples below use salted SHA-256, which is educational but **not production-grade** — SHA-256 is fast, which makes brute-force attacks cheap. For a real deployment, add a Java bcrypt library to `box.json`, use a CFX tag, or wait for the forthcoming `wheels-security` package. The mechanism (generate salt, hash `password + salt`, compare) stays the same — only the hash function changes. Tracked in the [framework gap tracker](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/blob/develop/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-19-framework-gaps-from-guides-phase-1.md) (item 4).
+</Aside>
+
+The stopgap pattern is a `beforeSave` callback that hashes plaintext and clears it, plus an `authenticate(password)` instance method:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/models/User.cfc"
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        validatesPresenceOf("email");
+        validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
+        beforeValidation("normalizeEmail");
+        beforeSave("hashPassword");
+    }
+
+    private function normalizeEmail() {
+        if (StructKeyExists(this, "email")) {
+            this.email = Trim(LCase(this.email));
+        }
+    }
+
+    private function hashPassword() {
+        if (StructKeyExists(this, "password") && Len(this.password)) {
+            if (!StructKeyExists(this, "passwordSalt") || !Len(this.passwordSalt ?: "")) {
+                this.passwordSalt = generateSecretKey("AES");
+            }
+            this.passwordHash = Hash(this.password & this.passwordSalt, "SHA-256");
+            StructDelete(this, "password");
+        }
+    }
+
+    public boolean function authenticate(required string password) {
+        if (!Len(this.passwordHash ?: "") || !Len(this.passwordSalt ?: "")) {
+            return false;
+        }
+        var candidate = Hash(arguments.password & this.passwordSalt, "SHA-256");
+        return (candidate == this.passwordHash);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`normalizeEmail` runs before validation so uniqueness sees a canonical address. `hashPassword` only fires when `this.password` is set (the caller just assigned a new one), generates a per-user salt on first write, and scrubs the plaintext before the save hits the database. When bcrypt ships, swap `Hash(... "SHA-256")` for the bcrypt equivalent — nothing else changes.
+
+## Token auth with `TokenStrategy`
+
+`TokenStrategy` extracts a bearer token from `Authorization: Bearer <token>` (or a `?api_key=` query parameter) and validates it against either a **validator callback** — typical for database-backed API keys — or a **static token map** — useful for tests and seeded dev keys.
+
+### Validator callback (database-backed)
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/app.cfm or equivalent init hook"
+if (StructKeyExists(application, "wheelsdi") && application.wheelsdi.containsInstance("authenticator")) {
+    var auth = service("authenticator");
+
+    if (!auth.hasStrategy("token")) {
+        var tokenStrategy = new wheels.auth.TokenStrategy(validator=function(token) {
+            var apiKey = model("ApiKey").findOne(where="token = :token AND revokedAt IS NULL", values={token: arguments.token});
+            if (IsObject(apiKey)) {
+                return {id: apiKey.userId, role: apiKey.role, source: "api-key"};
+            }
+            return false;
+        });
+        auth.registerStrategy(name="token", strategy=tokenStrategy);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The callback receives the extracted token string and returns a principal struct on success or `false` on failure. Any lookup works — a database query, a Redis check, a remote HTTP call. Keep it fast: the callback runs on every authenticated request.
+
+### Static token map (tests, seeded keys)
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="illustrative — static tokens"
+var tokenStrategy = new wheels.auth.TokenStrategy(tokens={
+    "dev-key-alice": {id: 1, role: "admin"},
+    "dev-key-bob":   {id: 2, role: "reader"}
+});
+```
+
+Static maps are fine for local dev and test fixtures. Don't commit production keys to source.
+
+### Consume from a controller
+
+With the strategy registered, controllers use the same authenticator call as session auth:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Api.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="requireToken");
+        provides("json");
+    }
+
+    function index() {
+        var result = service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+        renderWith({items: model("Item").findAll(where="userId=:uid", values={uid: result.principal.id})});
+    }
+
+    private function requireToken() {
+        var result = service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+        if (!result.success) {
+            renderWith(data={error: result.error}, status=result.statusCode);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## JWT auth with `JwtStrategy`
+
+JWTs are self-contained signed tokens — the client holds them, you verify the signature, and you never hit the database to look them up. `JwtStrategy` wraps `JwtService`, which does HMAC-SHA256 encode/decode.
+
+### Register the service and strategy
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/app.cfm or equivalent init hook"
+if (StructKeyExists(application, "wheelsdi") && application.wheelsdi.containsInstance("authenticator")) {
+    var auth = service("authenticator");
+
+    if (!auth.hasStrategy("jwt")) {
+        var jwtService = new wheels.auth.JwtService(
+            secretKey=application.wo.env("JWT_SECRET"),
+            defaultExpiry=3600,
+            issuer="myapp"
+        );
+        var jwtStrategy = new wheels.auth.JwtStrategy(jwtService=jwtService);
+        auth.registerStrategy(name="jwt", strategy=jwtStrategy);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The secret lives in the environment (`application.wo.env("JWT_SECRET")`) — never commit it. `defaultExpiry` is seconds; 3600 = one hour. `issuer` is stamped as the `iss` claim and can be used by downstream validators to reject tokens meant for other services.
+
+### Issue tokens on login
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/ApiSessions.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        provides("json");
+    }
+
+    function create() {
+        var user = model("User").findOne(where="email = :email", values={email: params.email ?: ""});
+        if (IsObject(user) && user.authenticate(params.password ?: "")) {
+            var jwtService = new wheels.auth.JwtService(secretKey=application.wo.env("JWT_SECRET"));
+            var token = jwtService.encode({sub: user.id, email: user.email, role: user.role});
+            renderWith({token: token, expiresIn: 3600});
+        } else {
+            renderWith(data={error: "Invalid credentials"}, status=401);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Clients send the token back on subsequent requests as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. The JWT strategy extracts it, `JwtService.decode()` verifies the signature and expiry, and the decoded claims become the principal:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Api.cfc — JWT-protected action"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="requireJwt");
+        provides("json");
+    }
+
+    function profile() {
+        var result = service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+        renderWith({userId: result.principal.sub, email: result.principal.email});
+    }
+
+    private function requireJwt() {
+        var result = service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+        if (!result.success) {
+            renderWith(data={error: result.error}, status=result.statusCode);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+On expired tokens `JwtStrategy` returns `error="JWT token has expired"` and `statusCode=401`; on bad signatures, `error="JWT signature verification failed"`. The controller doesn't need to distinguish — both fail the `result.success` check and return 401.
+
+## Combining strategies
+
+The registry pattern pays off when one app serves both HTML and JSON. Register session auth for browser routes, JWT for `/api/*`, and the authenticator picks the right one per request based on what the client sends.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/app.cfm — register both strategies"
+if (StructKeyExists(application, "wheelsdi") && application.wheelsdi.containsInstance("authenticator")) {
+    var auth = service("authenticator");
+
+    if (!auth.hasStrategy("jwt")) {
+        var jwtService = new wheels.auth.JwtService(secretKey=application.wo.env("JWT_SECRET"));
+        auth.registerStrategy(name="jwt", strategy=new wheels.auth.JwtStrategy(jwtService=jwtService));
+    }
+    if (!auth.hasStrategy("session")) {
+        auth.registerStrategy(name="session", strategy=service("sessionStrategy"));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Order matters. `JwtStrategy.supports(request)` returns true only when an `Authorization: Bearer` header is present; `SessionStrategy.supports(request)` returns true only when the session already has a principal. An API call carrying a bearer token is handled by JWT; a browser request carrying a session cookie is handled by session; neither matches, authentication fails with 401.
+
+A single `authenticate` filter in a base controller now protects both kinds of routes without branching:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Controller.cfc — app-wide base"
+component extends="wheels.Controller" {
+    private function authenticate() {
+        var result = service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+        if (!result.success) {
+            if (request.format ?: "html" == "json") {
+                renderWith(data={error: result.error}, status=result.statusCode);
+            } else {
+                flashInsert(error="Please log in first");
+                redirectTo(route="login");
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## I don't want to use the DI container
+
+You don't have to. `Authenticator`, `SessionStrategy`, `TokenStrategy`, and `JwtStrategy` are plain CFCs — nothing about them requires `injector()`. Store the authenticator in `application` scope at init, instantiate the strategies with `new`, and call them directly. The DI container buys you testability (register a mock under the same name in `config/testing/services.cfm`) and a clean seam for environment-specific swaps. If your app is small and doesn't need either, skip it.
+
+## Security pitfalls
+
+- **Session fixation.** `SessionStrategy.login()` calls `sessionRotate()` automatically on engines that support it (Lucee). If you're on an engine without session rotation, issue a new session ID manually before storing the principal.
+- **Timing-safe comparison.** The stopgap `authenticate()` uses `==` to compare hashes, which is not timing-safe. Under load an attacker can measure response times to recover the hash byte-by-byte. Swap for a constant-time comparator (`Compare()` in CFML is not guaranteed constant-time either — use a dedicated Java helper) when you ship bcrypt.
+- **Secret rotation.** `JwtService` takes a single `secretKey`. Rotating it invalidates every outstanding token. For gradual rotation, validate against a list of current + previous secrets during the cutover window; the shipped `JwtService` doesn't do this natively, so you'll need to wrap it.
+- **JWT revocation.** JWTs are stateless by design — you cannot revoke an issued token before it expires unless you maintain a server-side deny-list and check it on every request. Keep token expiry short (minutes, not days) and use a refresh-token flow if you need long sessions.
+- **Token leakage in URLs.** `TokenStrategy` accepts `?api_key=` by default. Query strings show up in access logs, referer headers, and browser history. Prefer headers; set `queryParam=""` on `TokenStrategy` init to disable query-string auth entirely.

+title: Authorization & Filters
+description: Filters for access control — authentication gates, ownership checks, role-based rules, and policy patterns.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to use controller filters to enforce access rules. You'll wire an authentication gate, reject edits to records the current user doesn't own, restrict actions to admin roles, guard against malformed params with `verifies()`, and extract authorization into a reusable policy object once the rules outgrow a single filter.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to compose filters that deny access before an action runs
+- How to write ownership and role-based rules using `session` and `params`
+- How `verifies()` differs from `filters()` and when to reach for each
+- How to extract complex authorization into a policy object
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know: how filters register in `config()` and why they must be `private` (see [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/)), plus one authentication strategy (see [Authentication Patterns](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/authentication-patterns/)). This page assumes a logged-in user lives at `session.userId` — the exact mechanism doesn't matter here.
+</Aside>
+
+## The filter API — recap
+
+Filters register in `config()` with `filters(through="methodName", only="...", except="...", type="before")`. The `through` method must exist on the controller and must be declared `private` — a public filter becomes a routable action. Call `redirectTo()` or `renderText()` inside the filter to short-circuit the request; the action never runs and no further before-filters fire.
+
+For the full argument list, placement semantics, and a run-through of the order of operations, see [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/). This page focuses on what to put inside the filter.
+
+## Authentication gate
+
+The canonical pattern: deny access to anything except the public read actions. A logged-in user has a principal in the session; a guest gets redirected to the login page.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+    }
+
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+    }
+
+    function show() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+    }
+
+    function edit() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+    }
+
+    private function authenticate() {
+        if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
+            flashInsert(error="Please log in to continue.");
+            redirectTo(route="login");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`except="index,show"` leaves the two read actions public. Every other action — `new`, `create`, `edit`, `update`, `delete` — triggers `authenticate` before the action body runs. The filter returns `void`; short-circuit is signalled by calling `redirectTo`.
+
+## Ownership checks
+
+Authentication proves who you are. Authorization decides whether you're allowed to touch this record. Layer a second filter after `authenticate` that rejects edits on posts owned by somebody else.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+        filters(through="ownershipCheck", only="edit,update,delete");
+    }
+
+    function edit() {
+        post = params.post;
+    }
+
+    function update() {
+        post = params.post;
+        if (post.update(params.postData)) {
+            flashInsert(success="Post updated.");
+            redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="edit");
+        }
+    }
+
+    private function ownershipCheck() {
+        if (params.post.userId != session.userId) {
+            flashInsert(error="That post isn't yours.");
+            redirectTo(route="posts");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`params.post` is a model instance populated by route model binding, not a raw struct. Without binding, `params.post` doesn't exist and the dev-mode warning fires telling you to enable it. See [Route Model Binding](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/routing/) for the one-line fix (`binding=true` on the resource).
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  Ownership checks are cheap: one comparison. If you find yourself hitting the database inside the filter to reload the record, stop — either turn on route model binding and reuse `params.post`, or pull the authorization decision out into a policy object (below).
+</Aside>
+
+## Role-based rules
+
+For admin-only actions, read the current user's role and reject the rest. The tidy version uses a dedicated filter and a finder — keep the query off the hot path of every request by scoping it to admin-gated actions only.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Admin/Users.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="authenticate");
+        filters(through="requireAdmin");
+    }
+
+    function index() {
+        users = model("User").findAll(order="createdAt DESC");
+    }
+
+    private function requireAdmin() {
+        user = model("User").findByKey(session.userId);
+        if (!IsObject(user) || user.role != "admin") {
+            flashInsert(error="Admins only.");
+            redirectTo(route="posts");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+On the model side, keep role predicates out of ad-hoc WHERE strings. Use a named scope or the query builder — see [Query Builder and Scopes](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/query-builder-and-scopes/) for `model("User").where("role", "admin").get()` and the `scope(name="admins", where="role = 'admin'")` shorthand.
+
+## `verifies()` — type and presence guards
+
+`verifies()` runs before `filters()` and is built for one job: reject requests that are missing required params or have the wrong shape. It's the first line of defence against URL tampering (`/posts/abc/edit` where the key should be an integer) and missing form fields.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        verifies(
+            only="show,edit,update,delete",
+            params="key",
+            paramsTypes="integer",
+            handler="invalidRequest"
+        );
+
+        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+    }
+
+    function show() {
+        post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+    }
+
+    private function invalidRequest() {
+        renderText(text="Bad request", status=400);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Arguments match the framework signature: `params` is a comma-list of expected keys, `paramsTypes` is a parallel list of types passed through to `IsValid()` (`integer`, `numeric`, `email`, `uuid`, `boolean`, `date`, `string`). `handler` names a private method that runs on failure; omit it to fall back to a redirect or abort. Session and cookie keys have their own argument pairs (`session`/`sessionTypes`, `cookie`/`cookieTypes`).
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  `verifies()` is not authorization — it's shape enforcement. A request with a valid-integer `params.key` passes verification whether or not the user is allowed to see that record. Verification trims the attack surface; filters enforce access.
+</Aside>
+
+## Policy objects
+
+When the authorization rules for a resource grow past two conditions, move them out of the filter and into a small component under `app/lib/`. The filter becomes a thin delegation; the rules become unit-testable in isolation.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/lib/PostPolicy.cfc"
+component {
+    public boolean function canEdit(required struct user, required any post) {
+        if (arguments.user.role == "admin") {
+            return true;
+        }
+        return arguments.post.userId == arguments.user.id;
+    }
+
+    public boolean function canDelete(required struct user, required any post) {
+        return arguments.user.role == "admin";
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The controller filter asks the policy the question and redirects on a `false` answer:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+        filters(through="authorizeEdit", only="edit,update");
+        filters(through="authorizeDelete", only="delete");
+    }
+
+    private function authorizeEdit() {
+        policy = new app.lib.PostPolicy();
+        currentUser = { id: session.userId, role: session.userRole };
+        if (!policy.canEdit(user=currentUser, post=params.post)) {
+            flashInsert(error="Not allowed.");
+            redirectTo(route="posts");
+        }
+    }
+
+    private function authorizeDelete() {
+        policy = new app.lib.PostPolicy();
+        currentUser = { id: session.userId, role: session.userRole };
+        if (!policy.canDelete(user=currentUser, post=params.post)) {
+            flashInsert(error="Not allowed.");
+            redirectTo(route="posts");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Register `PostPolicy` in the DI container so controllers resolve it by name instead of `new`-ing it every request — see [The Dependency Injection Container](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/dependency-injection/) for `di.map("postPolicy").to("app.lib.PostPolicy").asSingleton()` and the matching `inject("postPolicy")` declaration.
+
+## Filter order
+
+Before-filters run in the order they register. After-filters run in reverse. Register authentication first, then authorization, then data loading — each layer depends on the previous one succeeding.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+        filters(through="ownershipCheck", only="edit,update,delete");
+        filters(through="loadCategories", only="new,edit");
+    }
+
+    private function authenticate() {
+        if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
+            redirectTo(route="login");
+        }
+    }
+
+    private function ownershipCheck() {
+        if (params.post.userId != session.userId) {
+            redirectTo(route="posts");
+        }
+    }
+
+    private function loadCategories() {
+        categories = model("Category").findAll(order="name ASC");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If `authenticate` redirects, the chain stops — `ownershipCheck` and `loadCategories` never run, and the action body never runs. The early-exit rule is what keeps each filter small: each one can assume everything before it has already passed.
+
+## Testing filters
+
+Filter methods are `private`, so you can't call them directly from a spec. Exercise them through the controller action and assert on the response — a redirect when access is denied, the rendered view when it's allowed. The [Controller Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/controller-tests/) guide walks through the full pattern using the `TestClient` — a real HTTP client with chainable assertions.

+title: Background Jobs
+description: Queue work for asynchronous processing — retries, priority queues, and the worker process.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 3
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to move slow work out of the request cycle. You'll define a job class, enqueue it from a controller, run a worker process to drain the queue, configure retries with exponential backoff, and route urgent work through a high-priority queue.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to define a job by extending `wheels.Job` and implementing `perform()`
+- How to enqueue jobs immediately, after a delay, or at a specific time
+- How to run `wheels jobs work` as a long-lived worker
+- How retries and backoff work, and how to tune them
+- How priority queues let critical work jump the line
+- How to monitor, retry, and purge jobs in production
+- How to test `perform()` in isolation
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how models work — see [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/). Jobs persist to a `wheels_jobs` table; every enqueued job is a row. The table auto-creates on first use, so there's no migration to run.
+</Aside>
+
+## Define a job
+
+A job is a CFC in `app/jobs/` that extends `wheels.Job`. Override `config()` to set queue and retry options, and override `perform()` with the work itself. The base class handles enqueueing, locking, retries, and persistence.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/jobs/SendWelcomeEmailJob.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.Job" {
+    function config() {
+        super.config();
+        this.queue = "mailers";
+        this.maxRetries = 5;
+    }
+
+    public void function perform(required struct data) {
+        user = model("User").findByKey(arguments.data.userId);
+        sendEmail(
+            to=user.email,
+            subject="Welcome!",
+            from="app@example.com"
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Three rules:
+
+1. Extend `wheels.Job`. The base class in `vendor/wheels/Job.cfc` provides `enqueue`, `enqueueIn`, `enqueueAt`, `processQueue`, and the retry machinery.
+2. Override `perform(struct data)`. This is where the work happens. Read inputs from `arguments.data`. Return nothing — the framework inspects success by whether an exception was thrown.
+3. Call `super.config()` first, then set `this.queue`, `this.maxRetries`, `this.priority`, `this.baseDelay`, `this.maxDelay` as needed.
+
+Keep `data` small. Pass IDs, not whole model instances — the struct is serialized as JSON into a `TEXT` column, and a stale serialized snapshot is worse than a fresh `findByKey()` lookup at process time.
+
+## Enqueue a job
+
+Instantiate the job and call one of three enqueue methods. The typical call site is a controller action (after `create()` succeeds) or a model `afterCreate` callback.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Users.cfc (fragment)"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        user = model("User").new(params.user);
+        if (user.save()) {
+            // Immediate — runs on the next worker poll
+            job = new app.jobs.SendWelcomeEmailJob();
+            job.enqueue(data={userId: user.id});
+
+            // Delayed — a gentle follow-up five minutes later
+            followup = new app.jobs.SendFollowupEmailJob();
+            followup.enqueueIn(seconds=300, data={userId: user.id});
+
+            // Scheduled — onboarding drip at a specific time
+            drip = new app.jobs.SendDripEmailJob();
+            drip.enqueueAt(runAt=DateAdd("d", 1, Now()), data={userId: user.id});
+
+            redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`enqueue()`, `enqueueIn()`, and `enqueueAt()` all return a struct with the persisted row's `id`. The controller keeps responding fast — the actual email send happens when a worker picks the row up.
+
+## Run the worker
+
+The worker is a long-lived process that polls the `wheels_jobs` table and runs any `pending` job whose `runAt` has arrived. Start it from the CLI:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+The commands themselves need a running app and database, so they don't smoke-test in docs — here's the shape:
+
+- `wheels jobs work` — process all queues; loops until Ctrl-C.
+- `wheels jobs work --queue=mailers` — only drain the `mailers` queue.
+- `wheels jobs work --queue=mailers --interval=3` — poll every 3 seconds instead of the 5-second default.
+- `wheels jobs work --max-jobs=100` — stop after 100 jobs (useful for one-shot batches).
+- `wheels jobs work --quiet` — suppress per-job output, only log errors.
+
+In production, run the worker under a process supervisor (systemd, Docker's restart policy, Kamal's accessory containers) so it restarts if it crashes. Run multiple worker processes for parallelism — the base class uses optimistic row locking, so two workers won't process the same job twice.
+
+Check queue health without tailing logs:
+
+- `wheels jobs status` — table of pending / processing / completed / failed per queue.
+- `wheels jobs status --queue=mailers` — just one queue.
+- `wheels jobs status --format=json` — machine-readable output for CI smoke tests or scraping.
+
+## Retries and backoff
+
+When `perform()` throws, the framework reschedules the job with exponential backoff until `maxRetries` is exhausted, at which point the row moves to `status='failed'` and stops being picked up.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/jobs/ChargeCardJob.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.Job" {
+    function config() {
+        super.config();
+        this.queue = "payments";
+        this.maxRetries = 5;
+        this.baseDelay = 2;       // seconds
+        this.maxDelay = 3600;     // cap at one hour
+    }
+
+    public void function perform(required struct data) {
+        order = model("Order").findByKey(arguments.data.orderId);
+        order.chargeCard();  // may throw on transient network errors
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The backoff formula is `Min(this.baseDelay * 2^attempt, this.maxDelay)`. With the defaults (`baseDelay=2`, `maxDelay=3600`), you get retries at roughly 4s, 8s, 16s, 32s, 64s — small failures resolve quickly, while a stubborn outage stops hammering the external service once it hits the cap.
+
+Because retries are automatic, your `perform()` must be **idempotent**. If the first attempt charged the card but failed to record the success, the second attempt must notice and skip. Store an idempotency key on the model and check it at the top of `perform()`.
+
+To kick failed jobs back into the queue — after you've fixed the bug, say — use the retry command:
+
+```
+wheels jobs retry                       # retry every failed job
+wheels jobs retry --queue=mailers       # only the mailers queue
+wheels jobs retry --limit=10            # cap at 10 jobs
+```
+
+Retry resets `attempts` to zero and flips `status` back to `pending`.
+
+## Priority queues
+
+Different queues can run at different cadences. Give the worker a comma-separated list in priority order and it drains the first queue before falling through to the next:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels jobs work --queue=critical,default,low
+```
+
+The worker processes every `pending` job in `critical` first, then `default`, then `low`. Queues are just string labels on the `wheels_jobs.queue` column — create as many as you need. A typical split:
+
+- `critical` — payment retries, password resets, anything user-visible.
+- `default` — welcome emails, webhooks, routine follow-ups.
+- `low` — nightly analytics rollups, cleanup, anything that can wait.
+
+You can also bias ordering within a queue with `this.priority` in `config()` (higher first), but queue-based separation is simpler to reason about.
+
+## Monitoring in production
+
+For an interactive dashboard, run:
+
+```
+wheels jobs monitor                     # refresh every 3 seconds
+wheels jobs monitor --interval=5        # slower refresh
+wheels jobs monitor --queue=mailers     # one queue only
+```
+
+The dashboard shows per-queue counts, throughput over the last 60 minutes, error rate, and recent job activity. It also reports any jobs recovered from stuck `processing` state (worker crashed mid-job).
+
+For headless metrics, pipe `wheels jobs status --format=json` into whatever you already use — Prometheus, Datadog, a custom scrape:
+
+```
+wheels jobs status --format=json
+```
+
+## The jobs table
+
+Jobs persist to a `wheels_jobs` table keyed by UUID. The base class auto-creates it the first time `enqueue()` or `processQueue()` runs — no migration needed. Columns: `id`, `jobClass`, `queue`, `data` (JSON), `priority`, `status` (`pending`/`processing`/`completed`/`failed`), `attempts`, `maxRetries`, `lastError`, `runAt`, `completedAt`, `failedAt`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`. See `vendor/wheels/Job.cfc` (`$ensureJobTable`) for the exact schema — it adapts column types per database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, H2, SQLite, Oracle).
+
+You never need to touch the table directly. Query it through the CLI commands or `queueStats()`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="programmatic stats"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function dashboard() {
+        job = new wheels.Job();
+        stats = job.queueStats();                  // all queues
+        mailerStats = job.queueStats(queue="mailers");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`stats` is a struct with `pending`, `processing`, `completed`, `failed`, and `total`.
+
+## Testing jobs
+
+`perform()` is a plain public method that takes a struct. Don't exercise the queue in a test — instantiate the job, call `perform()` with fixture data, and assert on the side effects.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/jobs/SendWelcomeEmailJobSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("SendWelcomeEmailJob", () => {
+            it("sends a welcome email to the user", () => {
+                testUser = model("User").create(
+                    email="new@example.com",
+                    firstName="New"
+                );
+
+                job = new app.jobs.SendWelcomeEmailJob();
+                job.perform(data={userId: testUser.id});
+
+                // Assert your email spy or outbox captured the send.
+                // The pattern depends on how you stub sendEmail() —
+                // see the Testing guide for the email-fake approach.
+                expect(true).toBeTrue();
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Testing `perform()` in isolation keeps the spec fast and avoids the complexity of polling a live queue. The queue itself is framework code — trust it.
+
+## Purging old rows
+
+Completed and failed rows accumulate forever unless you prune them. The purge command takes days and status flags:
+
+```
+wheels jobs purge                                 # completed jobs older than 7 days
+wheels jobs purge --completed --older-than=30     # completed older than 30 days
+wheels jobs purge --failed --older-than=90        # failed jobs older than 90 days
+wheels jobs purge --completed --failed --queue=mailers
+```
+
+Run it from a cron or scheduled task. A weekly purge of completed rows older than 30 days keeps the table small without losing recent history for debugging.
+
+## Common patterns
+
+- **Enqueue from `afterCreate` callbacks** to keep the controller response fast. The model saves, the callback drops a row into `wheels_jobs`, the response ships.
+- **Use `enqueueIn` for rate limits.** If a third-party API caps you at one call per second, stagger calls with `enqueueIn(seconds=1)`, `enqueueIn(seconds=2)`, and so on — cheaper than a token-bucket middleware for low-volume cases.
+- **One job per side effect.** Don't bundle email + Slack + webhook into a single `perform()` — if Slack is down, you don't want to retry the email and the webhook. Enqueue three separate jobs.
+- **Make `perform()` idempotent.** Every job will, eventually, run twice. Plan for it: check-before-write, store idempotency keys, use unique database constraints.
+- **Pass IDs, not objects.** `data={userId: user.id}` beats `data={user: user}`. The fresh `findByKey()` in `perform()` sees the current state, not a snapshot from when you enqueued.

+title: Caching
+description: Cache rendered actions, fragments, and computed results — stores, keys, and invalidation.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 4
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to keep expensive work out of the hot path. You'll cache a whole controller action, cache a slow partial inside a view, cache a query result, key caches per-user, and invalidate everything from a model callback when the underlying data changes.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to cache a controller action with `caches()` in `config()`
+- How to cache a partial or query for a fixed number of minutes
+- How Wheels stores cache entries and when to reach for an external store
+- How to invalidate cache keys from model callbacks so stale reads never ship
+- How to key caches per user with `appendToKey` — and when not to cache at all
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  Caching is disabled in development and enabled in every other environment. Every `caches()` declaration, `renderView(cache=N)` call, and `findAll(cache=N)` call is a no-op when `application.wheels.environment == "development"` — so you can edit views freely without chasing stale output. See `vendor/wheels/events/init/caching.cfm` for the switches.
+</Aside>
+
+## Cache a whole action
+
+The simplest win: tell Wheels to serve the full rendered response for an action from memory. Declare it in the controller's `config()`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        caches(action="index", time=10);
+    }
+
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").published().findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`time` is **minutes**. The first request runs `index()`, renders the view, and stores the HTML keyed by controller + action + `params`. Every subsequent request inside the next ten minutes returns the cached HTML without re-running the action or hitting the database.
+
+Rules:
+
+- `caches()` accepts either `action="name"` or `actions="one,two,three"` — same argument, aliased.
+- `time` defaults to 60 minutes (`defaultCacheTime`). Pass a number to override.
+- Caches are **skipped automatically** when the request has a flash message or a non-empty `form` scope. Wheels assumes a flash or form submission means the user just did something — serving them yesterday's HTML would be wrong.
+- Omit `action` entirely (`caches()`) and every action in the controller is cacheable.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Products.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        // Cache the listing for 15 minutes and the detail page for an hour.
+        caches(action="index", time=15);
+        caches(action="show", time=60);
+    }
+
+    function index() { products = model("Product").findAll(); }
+    function show()  { product  = model("Product").findByKey(params.key); }
+}
+```
+
+### Static pages skip filters
+
+Pass `static=true` and Wheels uses Lucee's `cfcache` server-side cache, which short-circuits the request even earlier — before filters run at all. Use this for marketing pages, pricing tables, anything truly public:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Marketing.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        caches(action="pricing", time=120, static=true);
+    }
+
+    function pricing() {
+        plans = model("Plan").findAll(order="monthlyPrice");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Don't use `static=true` on any action that depends on the logged-in user, a flash message, or the CSRF token.
+
+## Cache a fragment in a view
+
+When only part of a page is slow — a sidebar, a footer, a tag cloud — don't cache the whole action. Cache the partial instead. `includePartial()` takes a `cache` argument:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/posts/index.cfm"
+<cfparam name="posts" default="">
+<cfoutput>
+    <h1>Recent posts</h1>
+
+    <div class="layout">
+        <main>
+            <cfloop query="posts">
+                <article><h2>#posts.title#</h2></article>
+            </cfloop>
+        </main>
+
+        <aside>
+            #includePartial(partial="popularTags", cache=30)#
+        </aside>
+    </div>
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+The partial at `app/views/posts/_popularTags.cfm` renders once per 30 minutes. The outer `posts` listing still re-renders every request — only the fragment is cached.
+
+`renderView()` and `renderPartial()` both accept the same `cache=N` argument if you're rendering explicitly from a controller:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Dashboards.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function summary() {
+        stats = model("Report").findAll();
+        renderView(cache=5);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Cache a query
+
+Most slow actions aren't slow because of rendering — they're slow because of one expensive query. Cache the query directly and leave the view alone:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Analytics.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function dashboard() {
+        // Cache the aggregation for 5 minutes — the view can re-render freely.
+        revenueByDay = model("Order").findAll(
+            select="DATE(createdAt) AS day, SUM(total) AS revenue",
+            group="DATE(createdAt)",
+            order="day DESC",
+            cache=5
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`findAll(cache=N)` and `findByKey(cache=N)` hash the query arguments into the cache key, so two callers with identical arguments share one result. Pass `cache=true` to use the default cache time.
+
+Query caching is ideal when:
+
+- The query is expensive (aggregations, joins across large tables).
+- Per-request result variation is acceptable (a 5-minute-old revenue number is fine on a dashboard).
+- The view output depends on other per-request data (current user, feature flags) so whole-action caching won't work.
+
+## Where cache entries live
+
+Wheels keeps cache entries in `application.wheels.cache` — an in-memory struct on the CFML application scope, split into categories (`action`, `partial`, `query`, `image`, `main`). Reads are struct lookups; writes are struct writes. No external service required.
+
+| Property | Default | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `defaultCacheTime` | `60` | Default duration in minutes when `cache=true` is passed without a number. |
+| `cacheDatePart` | `"n"` | `n` = minutes. Change to `h` for hours, `s` for seconds. |
+| `maximumItemsToCache` | `5000` | Total entries across all categories. |
+| `cacheCullPercentage` | `10` | When full, purge this percent of expired entries before accepting new ones. |
+| `cacheCullInterval` | `5` | Don't cull more often than once every 5 minutes. |
+
+Tune any of these in `config/settings.cfm` via `set(defaultCacheTime=15)`, etc.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  The in-memory cache is **per-node**. If you run three app servers behind a load balancer, each has its own cache. That's fine when TTLs are short (5-30 minutes) and staleness across nodes is tolerable. When you need one shared cache across a fleet, front the app with a reverse-proxy page cache (Nginx, Cloudflare, CloudFront) — see [Deployment](/v4-0-0-snapshot/deployment/). Per-node in-memory caching plus an edge cache covers most production workloads.
+</Aside>
+
+## Invalidate from the model
+
+Caches go stale the moment the underlying data changes. The clean pattern: drop invalidation into a model callback so every write path invalidates for free.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/models/Post.cfc"
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        afterSave("clearPostCache");
+        afterDelete("clearPostCache");
+    }
+
+    private function clearPostCache() {
+        // Remove named entries so the next read repopulates from the DB.
+        $removeFromCache(key="popular-posts");
+        $removeFromCache(key="post-count");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`$removeFromCache(key, category)` deletes a single entry. `$clearCache(category)` drops a whole category. `$clearCache()` with no args wipes everything — handy in a dev-only "purge" admin action.
+
+For caches keyed by query arguments (the automatic `findAll(cache=N)` flavor), invalidation is harder — the key is a hash of all the finder arguments. Three options, in order of preference:
+
+1. **Let TTL handle it.** If a 5-minute stale window is acceptable, do nothing; the entry expires on its own.
+2. **Cache under a named key you control** by building the key yourself with `$addToCache()` / `$getFromCache()`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function index() {
+           posts = application.wo.$getFromCache(key="posts-listing");
+           if (!IsQuery(posts)) {
+               posts = model("Post").published().findAll();
+               application.wo.$addToCache(key="posts-listing", value=posts, time=10);
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+   Now the model callback can call `$removeFromCache(key="posts-listing")` surgically.
+3. **Clear the whole category.** `$clearCache(category="query")` is a blunt instrument but fast to reason about when in doubt.
+
+## Per-user keys
+
+A cached action is shared across every request for the same URL — which is a problem the moment the rendered output depends on the logged-in user. Use `appendToKey` to mix more identifiers into the cache key:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Dashboards.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        // Each user gets their own cached dashboard for 5 minutes.
+        caches(action="index", time=5, appendToKey="session.userId");
+    }
+
+    function index() {
+        user = model("User").findByKey(session.userId);
+        recentActivity = user.activities(order="createdAt DESC");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`appendToKey` takes a comma-separated list of dot-notation paths. Wheels evaluates each at request time and appends the value to the cache key. Supported scopes: `session`, `request`, `application`, `arguments`, `variables`. Pass more than one (`appendToKey="session.userId,session.tenantId"`) to key per user *and* per tenant.
+
+For multi-tenant apps, see [Multi-tenancy](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/multi-tenancy/) for the tenant-scoped key pattern.
+
+## When not to cache
+
+Caching always trades correctness for speed. Don't reach for it when:
+
+- **The data is per-user.** Either include the user in the key (`appendToKey="session.userId"`) or skip the cache. An unkeyed action cache serves User A's dashboard to User B.
+- **The write already just happened.** Caching a `create`/`update`/`destroy` response makes no sense — those aren't idempotent and Wheels correctly skips the cache when `form` is non-empty. Don't work around it.
+- **The query is already fast.** Sub-millisecond indexed lookups don't need caching. You're adding a second source of truth (the cache) and a new invalidation bug for no speedup.
+- **You can't invalidate confidently.** If you can't list the write paths that would stale the cache, the cache will go stale. Shorten the TTL or skip caching.
+
+## Page caching at the edge
+
+Wheels's in-memory cache lives inside your CFML process. For truly static pages — documentation, marketing, blog posts — push caching further out: a reverse proxy (Nginx, HAProxy) or a CDN (Cloudflare, CloudFront, Fastly) serves the HTML without touching your app at all.
+
+Configure edge caching at the deploy layer, not in Wheels. The [Deployment](/v4-0-0-snapshot/deployment/) guide covers setting `Cache-Control` headers from your controller, letting Kamal's proxy or your CDN honor them, and purging the edge cache when a model saves.
+
+## Debugging cached responses
+
+Three ways to confirm what you're seeing:
+
+1. **Disable caching temporarily** — `set(cacheActions=false)` in `config/environments/development.cfm` is the default; flipping it on in development reproduces production behavior when you're investigating a stale-read bug.
+2. **Pass `time=0`** to force re-rendering while you leave the `caches()` declaration in place:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc (debugging)"
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function config() {
+           // Temporarily disable — put the real time back before committing.
+           caches(action="index", time=0);
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+3. **Clear caches on reload.** `?reload=true&password=...` flushes query and template caches automatically (`clearQueryCacheOnReload`, `clearTemplateCacheOnReload`). Combine with a custom admin action that calls `application.wo.$clearCache()` when you need to purge the full cache without a restart.

+title: CORS
+description: Cross-origin request handling — configuring the Cors middleware, preflight, credentials mode, and per-route scoping.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 12
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to let a browser on `https://client.example.com` call your Wheels app at `https://api.example.com` without the browser blocking the response. You'll enable the built-in `Cors` middleware, configure an allowlist of origins, understand how preflight `OPTIONS` requests are handled for you, decide whether to allow credentials (cookies, auth headers), scope Cors to a single URL prefix like `/api`, and debug the most common failures.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What CORS is and why you need server-side help to opt in
+- How to enable `wheels.middleware.Cors` globally with an explicit origin allowlist
+- The full set of constructor options and their real defaults
+- How preflight (`OPTIONS`) requests are handled automatically
+- What `allowCredentials=true` unlocks — and why it forbids wildcard origins
+- How to apply Cors only to a scope like `/api`
+- How to debug failures with the browser console and `curl`
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how middleware runs. See [Middleware Pipeline](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/middleware-pipeline/).
+</Aside>
+
+## What CORS is
+
+CORS — Cross-Origin Resource Sharing — is a browser-enforced rule. A script running on origin A (scheme + host + port, e.g. `https://client.example.com`) cannot read responses from a different origin B unless B explicitly opts in with `Access-Control-*` response headers. Server-to-server HTTP calls don't have CORS; it's purely a browser-side policy enforced for JavaScript `fetch`, `XMLHttpRequest`, and `EventSource`.
+
+The `wheels.middleware.Cors` middleware writes those opt-in headers onto every matching response and short-circuits preflight `OPTIONS` requests with a 204-shaped empty body.
+
+## Enable the middleware
+
+Register `Cors` in `config/settings.cfm` with an explicit allowlist:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.Cors(
+        allowOrigins="https://myapp.com,https://admin.myapp.com",
+        allowCredentials=true,
+        maxAge=3600
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  `allowOrigins` defaults to `""` (empty) — the middleware **fails closed**. You MUST configure allowed origins explicitly. An empty `allowOrigins` means every cross-origin request is rejected: no `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header is written, and the browser blocks the response. This is deliberate — the default of nothing is safer than the default of everything.
+</Aside>
+
+## Configuration options
+
+These are the constructor arguments on `wheels.middleware.Cors`, verified against `vendor/wheels/middleware/Cors.cfc`:
+
+| Option             | Default                                            | Meaning                                                                                             |
+|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `allowOrigins`     | `""`                                               | Comma-delimited allowlist of exact origins, or `"*"` for any. Empty means nothing is allowed.       |
+| `allowMethods`     | `"GET,POST,PUT,PATCH,DELETE,OPTIONS"`              | Comma-delimited allowed HTTP methods, echoed in `Access-Control-Allow-Methods`.                     |
+| `allowHeaders`     | `"Content-Type,Authorization,X-Requested-With"`    | Comma-delimited request headers the browser may send, echoed in `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`.     |
+| `allowCredentials` | `false`                                            | When `true`, browsers may include cookies and `Authorization` headers. Forbids `allowOrigins="*"`.  |
+| `maxAge`           | `86400` (24 hours)                                 | `Access-Control-Max-Age` — how long the browser may cache the preflight response.                   |
+
+Matching is **exact string comparison** on the incoming `Origin` header. There is no wildcard-subdomain support: `https://*.myapp.com` is not a valid entry. Enumerate every origin you need — scheme + host + port, nothing more, nothing less.
+
+## Preflight (OPTIONS) requests
+
+Before any non-simple cross-origin request (anything that uses a custom header, a non-GET/POST/HEAD method, or a non-simple content type), the browser sends a preflight `OPTIONS` request asking "may I?" The Cors middleware handles this for you:
+
+- If the `Origin` is in `allowOrigins` (or `allowOrigins` is `"*"`), the middleware writes `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`, `Access-Control-Allow-Methods`, `Access-Control-Allow-Headers`, optionally `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials`, plus `Access-Control-Max-Age`, and returns an empty response without running your controller.
+- If the `Origin` is not in the allowlist, the middleware still short-circuits the `OPTIONS` request with an empty body but **omits the `Access-Control-Allow-*` headers**. The browser sees no opt-in and blocks the subsequent real request.
+
+You do not write an `options` action on your controllers. The middleware owns `OPTIONS` entirely.
+
+## Credentials mode
+
+`allowCredentials=true` tells the browser it may attach cookies and `Authorization` headers to cross-origin requests. You need this for session-based auth across origins (a React SPA on `https://app.example.com` calling `https://api.example.com`).
+
+Three rules come with it:
+
+1. `allowOrigins="*"` is forbidden. The CORS spec bans this combination, browsers will reject the response, and the middleware `throw`s `Wheels.Cors.InvalidConfiguration` at construction time to fail loud instead of silently.
+2. The `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header must be the **specific** requesting origin, not `*`. The middleware echoes the matched origin automatically when it's in your allowlist.
+3. You must enumerate every allowed origin explicitly. No wildcards, no subdomain patterns. Every variant (`https://app.example.com`, `https://admin.example.com`) gets its own entry.
+
+## Per-route Cors
+
+Most real apps want strict CORS only on `/api` and not on the HTML pages. Pass middleware to a `scope()` block and the rules apply only to routes declared inside the callback:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .scope(
+        path="/api",
+        middleware=[
+            new wheels.middleware.Cors(
+                allowOrigins="https://client.myapp.com",
+                allowCredentials=true
+            )
+        ],
+        callback=function(map) {
+            map.resources("posts");
+            map.resources("comments");
+        }
+    )
+    .resources("pages")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+Routes under `/api` get the Cors middleware. `resources("pages")` and everything outside the scope do not. Scope-level middleware composes with global middleware — both run.

+When a cross-origin request fails, work through this checklist:
+
+- **Check the browser console.** The rejection message names the reason: missing `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`, origin mismatch, credentials-vs-wildcard conflict, or a disallowed method or header. The browser is specific; read what it says.
+- **Reproduce with curl.** Curl doesn't enforce CORS, but you can see exactly what headers the server returned:
+  ```bash
+  curl -H "Origin: https://client.myapp.com" -v https://api.myapp.com/posts
+  ```
+  Look for `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` in the response. If it's missing, the middleware rejected your origin.
+- **Reproduce the preflight.** To see what the middleware returns for an `OPTIONS` preflight:
+  ```bash
+  curl -X OPTIONS \
+       -H "Origin: https://client.myapp.com" \
+       -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: POST" \
+       -H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: Content-Type" \
+       -v https://api.myapp.com/posts
+  ```
+- **Match the origin exactly.** Origins are strings, compared character-for-character. `https://myapp.com` is not `http://myapp.com`, not `https://www.myapp.com`, not `https://myapp.com:8080`. All four are distinct origins.
+
+## Common pitfalls
+
+- **Missing scheme.** `allowOrigins="myapp.com"` won't match anything. Origins always include the scheme: `https://myapp.com`.
+- **Port drift.** `https://myapp.com` and `https://myapp.com:8080` are different origins. Dev on `:3000` and prod on `:443` need separate entries (or separate environments).
+- **Subdomain drift.** `https://myapp.com` does not cover `https://www.myapp.com` or `https://admin.myapp.com`. List each.
+- **Credentials with wildcard.** `allowOrigins="*"` + `allowCredentials=true` throws `Wheels.Cors.InvalidConfiguration` at app start. Good — silent versions of this bug have haunted JavaScript developers for a decade.
+- **Double headers.** If your controller also writes `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` via `cfheader`, you'll end up with two values in one response. Browsers reject it. Pick one: the middleware or the controller, not both.
+
+## SSE and CORS
+
+`EventSource` — the browser API behind [Server-Sent Events](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/server-sent-events/) — can't send custom headers and relies on the browser's ambient cookie flow for authentication. If your SSE endpoint is cross-origin, you need `allowCredentials=true` and session cookies, and the allowed origin must be listed explicitly (no `"*"`). Everything else follows the rules above.

+title: Dependency Injection Usage
+description: Practical DI patterns — strategy swapping in tests, per-request resolvers, factories, and the service-locator pitfall.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 14
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page is the hands-on companion to the DI concept tour. You already know what the container is and what the three scopes mean — now you'll wire real patterns: swapping a real service for a test double, resolving a per-request value, constructing a service that needs custom wiring, relying on auto-wiring to keep call sites clean, and knowing when *not* to reach for the container.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- Swap a registered service for a test double in a BDD spec
+- Use a request-scoped resolver to carry per-request state
+- Register services whose construction needs custom logic
+- Let the container auto-wire an `init()` from registered names
+- Avoid the service-locator anti-pattern
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know what the DI container is. See [The Dependency Injection Container](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/dependency-injection/) for the concept tour. [Tutorial Part 6b](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/06-authentication/) shows a real registration for `SessionStrategy` — this page unpacks patterns beyond that.
+</Aside>
+
+## Registration, recapped
+
+Every registration lives in `config/services.cfm`. You grab the container with `injector()`, call `map()` (or `bind()`) with a name, chain `.to()` with a dotted component path, and optionally chain a lifecycle:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/services.cfm"
+var di = injector();
+
+di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService").asSingleton();
+di.bind("INotifier").to("app.lib.SlackNotifier").asSingleton();
+```
+
+`map()` and `bind()` are the same method — `bind()` reads better for interface-style names. Full API tour lives on the [concept page](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/dependency-injection/); the rest of this guide assumes you've registered services this way.
+
+## Swapping a strategy for a test double
+
+The payoff of registering by name is that you can re-point the name at a fake for the duration of a test. Any consumer that resolves `service("emailService")` picks up the fake without modification.
+
+Put the swap in the spec's `beforeEach` and restore the real binding in `afterEach`. The restore matters — without it, a failing test leaks the fake into every spec that runs afterward.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/controllers/UsersSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Users##create", () => {
+            beforeEach(() => {
+                injector().map("emailService").to("tests._assets.FakeEmailService").asSingleton();
+            });
+
+            afterEach(() => {
+                injector().map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService").asSingleton();
+            });
+
+            it("sends a welcome email", () => {
+                var fake = service("emailService");
+                // drive the controller action that calls service("emailService").send(...)
+                // then assert against fake.sentMessages or similar
+                expect(fake.sentMessages).toHaveLength(1);
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Two things to know. First, the swap is global for the duration of the test — any code path that resolves `emailService` during that `it` block gets the fake, including model callbacks and background jobs that run inline. Second, because `asSingleton()` caches the first instance per component path, you want the fake under a *different* component path than the real one (`tests._assets.FakeEmailService` vs `app.lib.EmailService`) so the cache doesn't hand you a stale real instance.
+
+## Per-request resolvers
+
+Request-scoped bindings pair naturally with "resolve based on who's making this request." The resolver class looks up something from the current request on construction, and every caller in that request gets the same instance. The next request constructs a fresh one.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/services.cfm"
+var di = injector();
+di.map("currentUser").to("app.lib.CurrentUserResolver").asRequestScoped();
+```
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/lib/CurrentUserResolver.cfc"
+component {
+    public any function init() {
+        if (StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
+            variables.user = model("User").findByKey(session.userId);
+        } else {
+            variables.user = javaCast("null", 0);
+        }
+        return this;
+    }
+
+    public any function get() {
+        return variables.user;
+    }
+
+    public boolean function isPresent() {
+        return !IsNull(variables.user);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In a controller, resolving by name gives you the cached resolver for this request:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type"
+var user = service("currentUser").get();
+if (service("currentUser").isPresent()) {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+Same instance inside filters, actions, views, and any service called during the request. Next request, a fresh resolver reads the new session.
+
+## Factory registration
+
+The Wheels injector's public API is `map(name).to(componentPath).asSingleton() | .asRequestScoped()`. There is no `toFactory()` — `.to()` takes a dotted component path, not a callback. When construction needs logic (reading env vars, composing from other services, branching on environment), wrap it in a plain CFC whose `init()` returns the real instance.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/lib/JwtStrategyFactory.cfc"
+component {
+    public any function init() {
+        variables.instance = new wheels.auth.JwtStrategy(
+            secret=application.wo.get("jwtSecret"),
+            issuer="my-app"
+        );
+        return this;
+    }
+
+    public any function build() {
+        return variables.instance;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Register the factory as a singleton, then have callers ask it for the built instance:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/services.cfm — factory pattern"
+var di = injector();
+di.map("jwtStrategyFactory").to("app.lib.JwtStrategyFactory").asSingleton();
+
+// consumers do:
+// var jwt = service("jwtStrategyFactory").build();
+```
+
+If you need the factory output to *itself* be registered under a name (so consumers call `service("jwtStrategy")` directly), register the strategy at app-init time after the factory has built it — the authenticator-wiring pattern in [Authentication Patterns](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/authentication-patterns/) does exactly this.
+
+## Auto-wiring `init()` parameters
+
+When a service's `init()` takes named arguments matching registered names, the injector resolves them automatically on construction. You don't pass `initArguments`; the container inspects the target's `init()` metadata and fills in what it knows.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/lib/SignupService.cfc"
+component {
+    public any function init(required any emailService, required any currentUser) {
+        variables.emailService = arguments.emailService;
+        variables.currentUser = arguments.currentUser;
+        return this;
+    }
+
+    public void function signup(required struct attrs) {
+        var user = model("User").create(arguments.attrs);
+        if (user.valid()) {
+            variables.emailService.send(to=user.email, subject="Welcome");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/services.cfm — auto-wiring"
+var di = injector();
+di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService").asSingleton();
+di.map("currentUser").to("app.lib.CurrentUserResolver").asRequestScoped();
+di.map("signupService").to("app.lib.SignupService").asSingleton();
+```
+
+`service("signupService")` constructs `SignupService`, inspects its `init()` parameters, sees `emailService` and `currentUser` are registered, resolves both, and passes them as arguments. If you *do* pass `initArguments`, auto-wiring is skipped — your explicit struct wins.
+
+A caveat: a singleton that auto-wires a request-scoped dependency captures the resolver from the *first* resolution and holds it forever. That's almost never what you want. Keep request-scoped values on request-scoped or transient consumers, or resolve them per-call rather than per-construction.
+
+## Declarative injection in controllers
+
+Controllers have a shorter syntax: call `inject()` in `config()` with a comma-delimited list of names. Each name becomes an instance variable on the controller, resolved per-request.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Users.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        inject("emailService, currentUser");
+    }
+
+    function create() {
+        if (this.currentUser.isPresent()) {
+            redirectTo(route="dashboard");
+            return;
+        }
+        var user = model("User").create(params.user);
+        if (user.valid()) {
+            this.emailService.send(to=user.email, subject="Welcome");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This is the pattern [Tutorial Part 6b](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/06-authentication/) uses to wire `authenticator` and `currentUser` into the controllers that need them. It keeps dependencies declared at the top of the file where a reader can see them, rather than scattered across action methods.
+
+## The service-locator anti-pattern
+
+Resolving `service("something")` *deep inside* business logic — inside model methods, private helpers, view partials — hides dependencies. A model that does this looks like it stands alone but secretly reaches into the container:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type (BAD)"
+component extends="Model" {
+    public void function welcome() {
+        // Model now has a hidden dependency on emailService.
+        // Tests must remember to stub the container. Readers
+        // must grep to find what this method actually needs.
+        service("emailService").send(to=this.email, subject="Welcome");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Prefer injection at the controller or service boundary. The controller injects `emailService`, does the work that needs it, and passes plain data to the model. The model stays a pure data object:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type (better)"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        inject("emailService");
+    }
+    function create() {
+        var user = model("User").create(params.user);
+        if (user.valid()) {
+            this.emailService.send(to=user.email, subject="Welcome");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The rule of thumb: `service()` calls belong at the edges — controllers, background jobs, the app-init block. Core domain code takes its dependencies as arguments.
+
+## Singletons and statefulness
+
+`.asSingleton()` means one instance for the life of the application. Safe for stateless services (email senders, token hashers, HTTP clients with no per-request state). Unsafe for anything that holds per-request data — a singleton `currentUser` would hand every request the user who happened to hit the server first. Request-scoped resolvers fix this: per-request construction, per-request cache, automatic cleanup when the request ends.
+
+If you're tempted to stuff per-request state into a singleton with a `setUser()` method, stop and make it request-scoped instead. The container is built for exactly this case.
+
+## Debugging resolution
+
+When `service("name")` throws `Wheels.Injector` or hands back the wrong thing, run through this list:
+
+- **Is the registration in `config/services.cfm`?** The file is loaded once at app start. Typos don't surface until resolution time.
+- **Did the app reload after you edited `services.cfm`?** Run `wheels reload` or hit `?reload=true&password=...`. Service registrations are *not* re-read per request.
+- **Does the binding name match exactly?** Names are case-sensitive. `service("EmailService")` and `service("emailService")` are different keys.
+- **Is `.to(...)` pointing at a valid dotted path?** A typo in the target path throws at `createObject()` time, not at registration time. The error surfaces the first time someone resolves the name.
+- **Circular dependency?** If A's `init()` auto-wires B and B's `init()` auto-wires A, the injector throws `Wheels.DI.CircularDependency` with the resolution chain. Break the cycle by turning one side into a factory or resolving lazily.

+title: File Uploads & Downloads
+description: Multipart uploads, storage backends, validation, and serving downloads safely.
+type: howto

+  order: 6
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to accept file uploads, validate and store them, and serve downloads back. Wheels ships `sendFile()` for downloads and the `fileField` form helper on the upload side. It does not wrap multipart parsing — that path is Lucee's native `<cffile action="upload">`, and this guide is explicit about where you drop down to CFML.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to render a multipart upload form with `fileField`
+- How to receive an upload in the controller with `<cffile action="upload">`
+- How to validate size, content type, and extension
+- How to store files safely on disk or object storage
+- How to serve downloads with `sendFile()`
+- How to stream large files and lock down who can fetch them
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know: Wheels controllers, the `params` struct, and form helpers. Finish the [tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/) first. Skim [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/) and [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/) if either feels shaky.
+</Aside>
+
+## The upload form
+
+Browsers will not submit file content unless the form is encoded as `multipart/form-data`. `startFormTag()` flips the encoding for you when you pass `multipart=true`; pair it with `fileField` to render the object-bound `<input type="file">`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/users/new.cfm"
+<cfoutput>
+    ##startFormTag(route="users", method="post", multipart=true)##
+        ##textField(objectName="user", property="firstName")##
+        ##fileField(objectName="user", property="avatar")##
+        <button type="submit">Upload</button>
+    ##endFormTag()##
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+The rendered tag is `<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" ...>` with a matching `<input type="file" name="user[avatar]">`. If you'd rather not bind to a model instance, use `fileFieldTag(name="avatar")`.
+
+## Receiving the upload
+
+Wheels does not unwrap the multipart body into a struct on `params`. The form field arrives as a server-side path to a temp file that Lucee parked for you; you take ownership of it with `<cffile action="upload">`. That tag populates a `cffile` struct with details about the uploaded file (server name, client name, size, content type, extension):
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Users.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        user = model("User").new(params.user);
+
+        local.uploadDir = expandPath("/var/uploads/tmp/");
+        cffile(
+            action="upload",
+            fileField="user.avatar",
+            destination=local.uploadDir,
+            nameconflict="makeunique"
+        );
+
+        // cffile is the struct Lucee populates with the upload result.
+        user.avatarTempPath = local.uploadDir & cffile.serverFile;
+        user.avatarClientName = cffile.clientFile;
+        user.avatarSize = cffile.fileSize;
+        user.avatarContentType = cffile.contentType;
+
+        if (user.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id);
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  `<cffile action="upload">` writes the file to disk before you've had a chance to validate it. Always upload to a temp directory that is **outside your web root** and that your web server refuses to serve. Move the file to its final home only after validation.
+</Aside>
+
+## Validating the upload
+
+Lucee's `cffile` struct is the source of truth — everything you need to validate lives on it. Put the rules on the model so the controller stays thin:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/models/User.cfc"
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        validate(methods="validateAvatarUpload");
+    }
+
+    private function validateAvatarUpload() {
+        if (!StructKeyExists(this, "avatarTempPath") || !Len(this.avatarTempPath)) {
+            return; // no upload this save — nothing to check
+        }
+
+        if (this.avatarSize > 5 * 1024 * 1024) {
+            addError(property="avatar", message="Avatar must be 5 MB or smaller.");
+        }
+
+        local.allowedTypes = "image/jpeg,image/png,image/gif";
+        if (!ListFindNoCase(local.allowedTypes, this.avatarContentType)) {
+            addError(property="avatar", message="Avatar must be a JPEG, PNG, or GIF.");
+        }
+
+        local.allowedExt = "jpg,jpeg,png,gif";
+        local.ext = LCase(ListLast(this.avatarClientName, "."));
+        if (!ListFindNoCase(local.allowedExt, local.ext)) {
+            addError(property="avatar", message="Avatar extension not allowed.");
+        }
+
+        if (!isImageFile(this.avatarTempPath)) {
+            addError(property="avatar", message="Avatar is not a valid image.");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Defence in depth: the browser can lie about `contentType` and the user can rename `payload.exe` to `avatar.png`. Check size, content type, and extension, then re-verify the content server-side — `isImageFile()` opens the file and confirms it parses as an image. For PDFs, read the first four bytes and check for `%PDF`. For virus scanning, shell out to a ClamAV daemon with `cfexecute` on a call to `clamscan`.
+
+## Saving the file
+
+Once the upload validates, move it out of the temp directory to its permanent home. Namespace by the owner's primary key so two users uploading `avatar.jpg` don't collide, and store only the relative path (or an opaque key) on the record — absolute paths leak server layout and break when you change disks:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Users.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        user = model("User").new(params.user);
+
+        local.tmpDir = expandPath("/var/uploads/tmp/");
+        cffile(action="upload", fileField="user.avatar", destination=local.tmpDir, nameconflict="makeunique");
+        user.avatarTempPath = local.tmpDir & cffile.serverFile;
+        user.avatarClientName = cffile.clientFile;
+        user.avatarSize = cffile.fileSize;
+        user.avatarContentType = cffile.contentType;
+
+        if (!user.save()) {
+            fileDelete(user.avatarTempPath);
+            renderView(action="new");
+            return;
+        }
+
+        local.finalDir = expandPath("/var/uploads/avatars/##user.id##/");
+        if (!directoryExists(local.finalDir)) {
+            directoryCreate(local.finalDir);
+        }
+        local.ext = LCase(ListLast(user.avatarClientName, "."));
+        local.finalName = "avatar." & local.ext;
+        fileMove(user.avatarTempPath, local.finalDir & local.finalName);
+        user.update(avatarPath="avatars/##user.id##/##local.finalName##");
+
+        redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The stored path (`avatars/42/avatar.png`) is relative to a known root — a UUID or a hash of the contents is a safer stored filename than the client-supplied name, which can contain shell metacharacters, `..`, or Unicode lookalikes.
+
+## Storage backends
+
+The disk-writing code above works for a single-node app. The moment you add a second app server behind a load balancer, local disk stops being shared and uploads go missing half the time. Point at object storage instead:
+
+- **S3, R2, GCS, or any S3-compatible endpoint.** Wheels does not ship an S3 client. Use a community package such as [s3sdk](https://forgebox.io/view/s3sdk), call the REST API directly with `cfhttp` and `awssign`, or shell out to the `aws` CLI with `cfexecute`. Upload the temp file into a bucket, persist the object key on the record, and reach for the same key on read.
+- **Local disk** is still fine for single-node prod, dev, and CI. Keep the upload directory on its own volume so it survives deploys.
+
+Whichever you pick, the controller shape stays the same: validate, move out of temp, record the key on the model.
+
+## Serving downloads
+
+`sendFile()` is a thin wrapper around `cfheader` + `cfcontent` that picks a MIME type from the file extension, sets `Content-Disposition`, and streams the body:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Invoices.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="requireLogin");
+        filters(through="loadInvoice", only="download");
+    }
+
+    function download() {
+        if (variables.invoice.userId != session.userId) {
+            renderText(text="Not found", status=404);
+            return;
+        }
+
+        sendFile(
+            file="invoices/##variables.invoice.id##.pdf",
+            name="invoice-##variables.invoice.number##.pdf"
+        );
+    }
+
+    private function loadInvoice() {
+        variables.invoice = model("Invoice").findByKey(key=params.key);
+        if (!IsObject(variables.invoice)) {
+            renderText(text="Not found", status=404);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Signature: `sendFile(file, name, type, disposition, directory, deleteFile, deliver)`. Defaults worth knowing:
+
+- `file` is resolved relative to the `filePath` setting, which defaults to `files/` under the app root. Pass `directory="/var/uploads"` to serve from outside the app.
+- `name` overrides what the browser shows in the Save dialog. Use it to hide storage filenames from the client.
+- `type` overrides the auto-detected MIME type.
+- `disposition` is `"attachment"` by default (force download) — pass `"inline"` to render in-browser for PDFs and images.
+- `deleteFile=true` removes the file on disk after the response flushes. Handy for one-off report exports you generated into a temp dir.
+
+`sendFile()` writes to the response and does not return — no `abort` needed.
+
+## Streaming large files
+
+`cfcontent` streams through the servlet output buffer rather than reading the whole file into memory, so `sendFile()` handles multi-hundred-megabyte artifacts without blowing the heap. That said, the request thread is tied up for the entire transfer. For files in the gigabyte range — video, backups, big archives — offload to a CDN or a pre-signed S3 URL so your app server isn't the bottleneck.
+
+If you need range requests (HTTP 206, so browsers can resume a download or seek inside a video), `cfcontent` doesn't emit them. Drop to the raw servlet response via `getPageContext().getResponse()` and stream manually, or front the app with nginx and let it serve the file directly with `X-Accel-Redirect`.
+
+## Security
+
+Uploads and downloads are where apps leak the most. The short list:
+
+- **Sanitize filenames.** Strip `..`, path separators, null bytes, and shell metacharacters from anything the client sent. Better: don't use the client filename on disk at all — generate a UUID or content hash and keep the original only in a column for the download dialog.
+- **Verify content server-side.** Don't trust `contentType` from the browser. For images, `isImageFile()` parses the bytes. For PDFs, check magic bytes (`%PDF`). For anything else, a library that actually parses the format beats a string comparison on the header.
+- **Serve from a separate origin.** Put user uploads on `uploads.example.com`, not the main app domain. A malicious SVG uploaded to the app origin can run JavaScript in your users' sessions; on a separate origin, the same-origin policy contains it. Set `Content-Disposition: attachment` as belt-and-braces so the browser downloads rather than renders.
+- **Authorize every download.** Don't hand out predictable URLs like `/uploads/42/avatar.png` from the web root. Route downloads through a controller action that checks ownership, then emits `sendFile()`. Short-lived signed URLs are fine for object-storage backends.
+- **Rate limit.** Both sides. Upload endpoints invite abuse (disk fill, compute-heavy validation); download endpoints invite scraping. Pair with [Rate Limiting](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/rate-limiting/) per IP and per user.

+
+Wheels 4.0 does not ship i18n primitives — no `t()` helper, no `locales/` convention, no built-in locale resolver. This page shows you the manual pattern you can build in your own app: detect the visitor's locale, load translation files, expose a `t()` view helper, format dates and numbers with Lucee's built-in locale functions, and localize your routes.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to detect a request's locale from session, URL, headers, or a default
+- How to load per-locale translation files at app init and look up keys with a custom `t()` helper
+- How to handle simple pluralization and interpolated values
+- How to format dates, numbers, and currency with Lucee's `LSDateFormat`, `LSNumberFormat`, and `LSCurrencyFormat`
+- How to localize routes so URLs look like `/fr/posts` and `/en/posts`
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  Wheels 4.0 doesn't ship i18n primitives. This page documents the pattern you can build in your own app. First-class support is on the roadmap as a package — the existing [wheels-dev/wheels-i18n](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels-i18n) plugin (a 3.x-era drop-in) is the starting point for that work.
+</Aside>
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  **Want a shortcut?** The legacy `wheels-dev/wheels-i18n` plugin works today on Wheels 4.0 via the deprecated `app/plugins/` directory — clone it in and `wheels reload`. The pattern below is if you want full control or can't depend on a plugin that's pending conversion to the 4.0 package system.

+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how [middleware](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/middleware-pipeline/) and [views](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/views-layouts-partials/) work. Translation lookup runs in a view helper; locale detection runs in middleware.
+</Aside>
+
+## Detect the locale
+
+Locale detection is a request-level concern, which makes it a natural fit for middleware. Resolve it once on the way in, stash it on `request.locale`, and every downstream helper can read it without re-parsing headers.
+
+The conventional precedence is:
+
+1. `session.locale` — the visitor's saved preference (set when they click a language switcher)
+2. `params.locale` — a URL segment like `/fr/posts` (see [route localization](#localize-your-routes) below)
+3. `Accept-Language` — the browser's default
+4. Your app default (`"en"`)
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/middleware/LocaleResolver.cfc"
+component implements="wheels.middleware.MiddlewareInterface" {
+    public any function handle(required any request, required any next) {
+        local.locale = arguments.request.session.locale ?: "";
+        if (!Len(local.locale)) {
+            local.locale = arguments.request.params.locale ?: "";
+        }
+        if (!Len(local.locale)) {
+            local.locale = Left(arguments.request.cgi.http_accept_language ?: "en", 2);
+        }
+        arguments.request.locale = Len(local.locale) ? local.locale : "en";
+        return arguments.next(arguments.request);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Register the middleware globally in `config/settings.cfm` so every request is resolved before any controller runs:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+set(middleware = [
+    new app.middleware.LocaleResolver()
+]);
+```
+
+Downstream code reads `request.locale` — no more header parsing.
+
+## Load translation files
+
+Keep translations out of CFCs. Per-locale JSON files are the path of least pain: diffable, easy to hand off to a translation service, trivial to hot-reload in dev.
+
+```
+config/
+  locales/
+    en.json
+    fr.json
+    de.json
+```
+
+A flat key/value schema keeps lookups cheap. Dotted keys give you pseudo-namespacing without nesting:
+
+```json title="config/locales/en.json"
+{
+    "welcome.title": "Welcome back",
+    "welcome.subtitle": "Here's what's new since your last visit",
+    "posts.count.one": "1 post",
+    "posts.count.other": "{count} posts",
+    "forms.submit": "Save changes"
+}
+```
+
+Load every locale at app init into `application` scope so the files are read once, not per request:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/app.cfm"
+application.wheels.translations = {};
+for (var locale in ["en", "fr", "de"]) {
+    local.path = ExpandPath("config/locales/#locale#.json");
+    application.wheels.translations[locale] = DeserializeJSON(FileRead(local.path));
+}
+```
+
+Reload the app (`?reload=true` in dev) after editing a locale file.
+
+## Write a custom `t()` helper
+
+Drop a view helper into `app/views/helpers.cfm` so every template can call `t("welcome.title")` the same way Rails templates call `t(:welcome_title)`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/helpers.cfm"
+public string function t(required string key, struct values={}) {
+    var locale = request.locale ?: "en";
+    var translations = application.wheels.translations[locale] ?: application.wheels.translations["en"];
+    var value = translations[arguments.key] ?: arguments.key;
+    for (var placeholder in arguments.values) {
+        value = Replace(value, "{#placeholder#}", arguments.values[placeholder], "all");
+    }
+    return value;
+}
+```
+
+The helper does three things: look up the requested locale (falling back to English if that locale wasn't loaded), find the key (falling back to the key itself if missing — a visible "untranslated" signal), and interpolate `{placeholder}` tokens from the `values` struct.
+
+Use it anywhere a view runs:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — app/views/home/index.cfm"
+<h1>#t("welcome.title")#</h1>
+<p>#t("welcome.subtitle")#</p>
+<button>#t("forms.submit")#</button>
+```
+
+## Pluralization
+
+English has two plural forms (one / other). Most Western European languages are the same. Arabic has six. Russian has three with non-trivial rules. Polish is its own adventure.
+
+For the easy case, branch on count and look up a key variant:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/helpers.cfm"
+public string function tPlural(required string key, required numeric count, struct values={}) {
+    var form = arguments.count == 1 ? "one" : "other";
+    arguments.values.count = arguments.count;
+    return t(arguments.key & "." & form, arguments.values);
+}
+```
+
+With the JSON above, `tPlural("posts.count", 1)` returns `"1 post"` and `tPlural("posts.count", 5)` returns `"5 posts"`.
+
+For languages with three or more plural forms, the one/other branch is wrong. Reach for a CLDR-aware library of your choice rather than hand-rolling the rules — getting Russian plurals right alone is a weekend you don't want to spend.
+
+## Format dates, numbers, and currency
+
+Lucee's `LS*` functions are the locale-aware versions of the standard formatters. They read the current locale from `GetLocale()` and format accordingly — no Wheels wrapper needed.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/views/helpers.cfm"
+public void function applyRequestLocale() {
+    var localeMap = {en: "en_US", fr: "fr_FR", de: "de_DE"};
+    var lucee = localeMap[request.locale ?: "en"] ?: "en_US";
+    SetLocale(lucee);
+}
+```
+
+Call `applyRequestLocale()` from a `beforeAction` in your base controller, or from a second middleware that runs after `LocaleResolver`. Once set, the `LS*` functions do the rest:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — inside a view"
+#LSDateFormat(post.publishedAt, "long")#     <!--- mardi 20 avril 2026 --->
+#LSNumberFormat(product.price, ",.99")#       <!--- 1 234,56 --->
+#LSCurrencyFormat(invoice.total, "local")#    <!--- 49,99 € --->
+#LSParseDateTime(params.startsAt)#             <!--- parses using current locale --->
+```
+
+These are Lucee built-ins — nothing Wheels-specific. The two-letter short codes (`en`, `fr`) you use for translation files don't match Lucee's locale strings (`en_US`, `fr_FR`), which is why the `localeMap` above bridges them.
+
+## Localize your routes
+
+If you want `/en/posts` and `/fr/posts` as sibling URL trees, wrap your resources in a `:locale` scope:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .scope(path="/:locale", callback=function(map) {
+        map.resources("posts");
+        map.resources("users");
+        map.root(to="home##index", method="get");
+    })
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+Every request now has `params.locale` populated. Your `LocaleResolver` middleware already picks that up as step 2 in the precedence chain, so the rest of the stack stays unchanged. Add a root-level redirect to your default locale if bare `/` requests need to land on `/en/`.
+
+Make sure locale-scoped routes come before `.wildcard()` — see [how route ordering works](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/how-routing-works/).
+
+## Forms and validation
+
+Form labels translate cleanly — they're plain strings, so `#t("forms.submit")#` works everywhere a label goes.
+
+Validation error messages are trickier. Wheels generates them with `errorMessagesFor()` using a hard-coded English template. The pragmatic fixes:
+
+- Pass `message` on each validation: `validatesPresenceOf(property="email", message=t("errors.email.required"))`. The string is resolved at validation time using the current request's locale.
+- Override `errorMessagesFor()` in a view helper to look each message up through `t()` before rendering.
+
+Both are workarounds — they leak through whenever core Wheels generates a message you didn't catch. Flag the gap for when first-class i18n lands, and don't build an elaborate abstraction on top of it.

+title: Multi-tenancy
+description: Serve multiple tenants from one Wheels app — subdomain routing, per-request data isolation, and three tenancy strategies.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 9
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to run a single Wheels app that serves many tenants — each with its own data, routed by subdomain, header, or a custom rule you write. You'll pick a tenancy strategy, wire up the `TenantResolver` middleware so every request resolves to the right tenant, isolate tenant data at the model layer, opt specific models out of tenant routing, and key tenant-aware caches correctly.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The three tenancy strategies (row, schema, database) and how to choose
+- How to wire `TenantResolver` middleware for subdomain, header, or fully custom resolution
+- How per-request datasource switching works automatically — and how to opt out with `sharedModel()`
+- How to test tenant isolation and key caches per tenant
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how middleware runs (see [Middleware Pipeline](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/middleware-pipeline/)) and how models connect to datasources (see [Database and Multiple Datasources](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/database-and-multiple-datasources/)).
+</Aside>
+
+## Three tenancy strategies
+
+Tenancy is a data-layout question before it's a code question. Pick the isolation level that matches your compliance and operational constraints.
+
+| Strategy | Data layout | When to use |
+|----------|-------------|-------------|
+| **Row scoping** | One DB, one schema, `tenantId` column on every tenant-owned table. Every query filters by it. | Simplest to operate. Good for small or medium tenant counts. Weakest isolation — an ORM bug or missing scope leaks data across tenants. |
+| **Schema per tenant** | One DB, one schema per tenant. The app switches the active schema per request. | Medium isolation. Cheap on Postgres. Migrations run per schema. |
+| **Database per tenant** | A separate DB (or datasource) per tenant. The app switches the active datasource per request. | Strongest isolation, costliest to operate. Required when compliance demands physical separation, or when tenants have very different scale profiles. |
+
+Wheels' `TenantResolver` middleware supports all three. It populates `request.wheels.tenant` on every request; the framework reads `request.wheels.tenant.dataSource` in `$performQuery()` and routes model queries there automatically. Row scoping layers on top — add a `currentTenant` scope to your tenant-owned models and chain it into finders.
+
+## TenantResolver — the middleware
+
+`TenantResolver` ships in `vendor/wheels/middleware/TenantResolver.cfc`. Register it globally in `config/settings.cfm` so every request passes through it.
+
+The simplest form: a fully custom resolver that looks up the tenant however you like and returns the tenant struct.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
+        strategy = "custom",
+        resolver = function(req) {
+            local.subdomain = ListFirst(cgi.server_name, ".");
+            local.tenant = model("Tenant").findOne(
+                where = "subdomain='##local.subdomain##'"
+            );
+            if (!IsObject(local.tenant)) {
+                return {};
+            }
+            return {
+                id: local.tenant.id,
+                dataSource: local.tenant.dataSourceName,
+                config: {appName: local.tenant.name}
+            };
+        }
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+The resolver receives the middleware request struct and returns a tenant struct. The returned struct must contain `dataSource` (non-empty) for tenant context to activate; `id` and `config` are optional (defaults: `""` and `{}`). Return `{}` for "no tenant matched" — the request then proceeds with the application's default datasource, tenant-free.
+
+`TenantResolver` sets `$locked = true` on the resolved struct so downstream code cannot silently switch tenants mid-request. It also removes `request.wheels.tenant` in a `finally` block after the response, so no state leaks into the next request.
+
+## Header-based strategy
+
+For API-only apps, clients usually send the tenant ID in an HTTP header. The `"header"` strategy reads the configured header, hands the value to your resolver (via `req.$tenantHeaderValue`), and expects it to look up and return the tenant struct.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
+        strategy = "header",
+        headerName = "X-Tenant-ID",
+        resolver = function(req) {
+            local.tenantId = req.$tenantHeaderValue ?: "";
+            local.tenant = model("Tenant").findOne(
+                where = "externalId='##local.tenantId##'"
+            );
+            if (!IsObject(local.tenant)) {
+                return {};
+            }
+            return {id: local.tenant.id, dataSource: local.tenant.dataSourceName};
+        }
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+`headerName` defaults to `X-Tenant-ID`. The middleware normalizes the header name to the CGI form (`http_x_tenant_id`) when reading it. If the header is missing or empty, the middleware returns `{}` and the request proceeds tenant-free.
+
+## Subdomain strategy
+
+The `"subdomain"` strategy extracts the first segment of `cgi.server_name` and hands it to your resolver (via `req.$tenantSubdomain`). It requires the hostname to have at least three segments (e.g., `acme.myapp.com`) — anything shorter is treated as "no tenant."
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
+        strategy = "subdomain",
+        resolver = function(req) {
+            local.subdomain = req.$tenantSubdomain ?: "";
+            local.tenant = model("Tenant").findOne(
+                where = "subdomain='##local.subdomain##'"
+            );
+            if (!IsObject(local.tenant)) {
+                return {};
+            }
+            return {id: local.tenant.id, dataSource: local.tenant.dataSourceName};
+        }
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+The strategy determines *when* the resolver fires and what's extracted from the request; your resolver does the lookup and returns the tenant struct. Without a resolver, `"subdomain"` and `"header"` are no-ops.
+
+## Row-scoping pattern
+
+If you're running one database with a `tenantId` column on every tenant-owned table, add a `currentTenant` scope to each model and chain it into every finder.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  **Use a dynamic scope handler, not a static `where=` string.** Static scope strings are interpolated at `config()` time — before any request exists. A scope like `where="tenantId = ##request.wheels.tenant.id##"` resolves to a fixed `tenantId = 0` forever. Every query would return tenant 0's data. This is a data-leak pitfall; the dynamic-handler form below evaluates per request.
+</Aside>
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/models/Post.cfc"
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        scope(name="currentTenant", handler="scopeCurrentTenant");
+        belongsTo(name="author");
+    }
+
+    private struct function scopeCurrentTenant() {
+        var tenantId = request.wheels.tenant.id ?: 0;
+        return {where: "tenantId = '#tenantId#'"};
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The handler method runs on each call to `.currentTenant()`, so it sees the current request's tenant every time. See [Query Builder and Scopes](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/query-builder-and-scopes/#dynamic-scopes) for the full dynamic-scope pattern.
+
+Use it like any other scope:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").currentTenant().findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+    }
+
+    function create() {
+        post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+        post.tenantId = request.wheels.tenant.id;
+        if (post.save()) {
+            redirectTo(route="posts");
+        } else {
+            renderView(action="new");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Row scoping gives you the simplest deployment (one DB, one migration run), but the isolation is enforced entirely in application code. A missing `.currentTenant()` on a finder is a data leak — lean on code review and a pre-commit grep rule. Schema- or database-per-tenant gives you a second line of defense at the database layer.
+
+## Per-datasource pattern (schema or DB per tenant)
+
+For schema-per-tenant and database-per-tenant layouts, you don't need to touch your model code. When `TenantResolver` sets `request.wheels.tenant.dataSource`, the framework's `$performQuery()` routes every non-shared model's queries to that datasource automatically:
+
+```
+model("Post").findAll()
+  → $performQuery()
+    → sees request.wheels.tenant.dataSource = "acme_ds"
+    → runs the query against acme_ds (instead of the model default)
+```
+
+The override triggers only when the model hasn't opted out (see [Shared models](#shared-models-cross-tenant-data) below), the query uses the model's default datasource, and `request.wheels.tenant.dataSource` is non-empty. Associations do **not** cross datasources: a JOIN uses the calling model's resolved datasource for the entire query. Don't `include` a shared model from a tenant model when the two live in different databases.
+
+## Shared models (cross-tenant data)
+
+Some models are deliberately global — the `Tenant` registry itself, billing plans, currencies, feature flags, system-wide audit logs. These tables live in your application's default datasource, not in each tenant's database. Mark them with `sharedModel()` in `config()` and the framework skips the per-request datasource override for them.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/models/Tenant.cfc"
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        sharedModel();
+        hasMany(name="users");
+        validatesPresenceOf("name,subdomain,dataSourceName");
+        validatesUniquenessOf(property="subdomain");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/models/Plan.cfc"
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        sharedModel();
+        hasMany(name="tenants");
+        validatesPresenceOf("name,monthlyPrice");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Rule of thumb: if the table exists in every tenant database, don't share it. If it exists only in the central database, share it. `User` is the classic borderline case — share it if users span tenants (one account, many tenants), scope it per tenant if accounts belong to exactly one tenant.
+
+## Accessing the tenant inside your app
+
+Three helpers are available anywhere you can call framework functions (controllers, models, views, jobs):
+
+- `tenant()` — returns the current tenant struct, or `{}` if no tenant is active
+- `$tenantDataSource()` — returns the active tenant's datasource name, or the app default
+- `switchTenant(tenant, force)` — switches the active tenant mid-request; throws `Wheels.TenantLocked` unless `force=true`
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Dashboard.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        currentTenant = tenant();
+        if (StructIsEmpty(currentTenant)) {
+            redirectTo(route="tenantSignup");
+            return;
+        }
+        tenantName = currentTenant.config.appName ?: "Dashboard";
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Mid-request switching is almost always wrong — the `$locked` flag exists to make accidents loud. The legitimate use case is admin tooling that operates across tenants (a support console, a cross-tenant report); pass `force=true` there and switch back when done.
+
+## Per-tenant config overrides
+
+The optional `config` key on the tenant struct overrides application settings for the duration of the request. Calls to `get("appName")` during that request return the tenant value instead of the app default.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
+        strategy = "subdomain",
+        resolver = function(req) {
+            local.tenant = model("Tenant").findOne(
+                where = "subdomain='##req.$tenantSubdomain##'"
+            );
+            if (!IsObject(local.tenant)) {
+                return {};
+            }
+            return {
+                id: local.tenant.id,
+                dataSource: local.tenant.dataSourceName,
+                config: {
+                    appName: local.tenant.companyName,
+                    perPage: local.tenant.listingPageSize
+                }
+            };
+        }
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+A security denylist blocks settings that would weaken isolation if tenant-controlled: `encryptionAlgorithm`, `encryptionSecretKey`, `encryptionEncoding`, `CSRFProtection`, `csrfStore`, `reloadPassword`, and `obfuscateUrls` cannot be overridden per-tenant. Attempts are silently ignored. Function-scoped settings (e.g., `get(name="perPage", functionName="findAll")`) are also not overridden.
+
+## Route-level tenant scope
+
+If your app embeds the tenant in the URL path instead of the hostname (useful for development or when TLS wildcards are off the table), scope your routes under a tenant segment and read it from `req.params` in the resolver:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .scope(path="/t/:tenantSlug", callback=function(map) {
+        map.resources("posts");
+        map.resources("users");
+    })
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+Then in the resolver, read `req.params.tenantSlug` and look up the tenant from there. The resolver runs before controller dispatch, so the params struct is available on the middleware request.
+
+## Testing tenant isolation
+
+Isolation bugs are the most painful class of tenancy bug — they're silent until a customer sees another customer's data. Write tests that prove isolation holds before you ship.
+
+The pattern: seed two tenant fixtures, activate tenant A, create data, activate tenant B, assert tenant B sees none of tenant A's rows. Cover `findAll()`, `findByKey()`, and any custom SQL paths. For row-scoping apps, also assert that a finder without `.currentTenant()` *does* leak — that test guards against accidentally removing the scope.
+
+Tests should exercise the middleware too: hit a protected action with and without a valid tenant header/subdomain, and assert that unmatched tenants get the default-datasource behavior you expect (usually: a 404 from your app code, not from the middleware itself — the middleware deliberately does not 404 on unmatched tenants).
+
+## Caching per tenant
+
+If you use [caching](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/caching/), every cache key must include the tenant ID. A cache leak across tenants is a classic tenancy vulnerability — user A loads the page, their rendered HTML lands in the cache under a tenant-less key, user B on a different tenant gets user A's HTML.
+
+The `appendToKey` argument on `caches()` reads dot-notation paths from `request`, `arguments`, `application`, `session`, or `variables` — it doesn't invoke private controller methods. Stash the tenant ID into `request` in a `before` filter, then reference it:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function config() {
+        filters(through="stashTenantId", type="before");
+        caches(action="index", time=10, appendToKey="request.tenantCacheKey");
+    }
+
+    function index() {
+        posts = model("Post").currentTenant().findAll();
+    }
+
+    private function stashTenantId() {
+        request.tenantCacheKey = tenant().id ?: "default";
+    }
+}
+```
+
+For fragment caches and query caches, build the tenant ID into the key yourself: `cache(key="posts-index-##tenant().id##", time=10)`. Fragment and query cache keys are plain strings — string interpolation at call time picks up the current tenant.
+
+## Operational concerns
+
+- **Migrations**: schema-per-tenant and database-per-tenant layouts require running migrations once per tenant. Wheels ships a `TenantMigrator` (`vendor/wheels/migrator/TenantMigrator.cfc`) that iterates a list of datasources and runs the migrator against each. Wire it into your deploy script so a new migration lands everywhere in one command.
+- **Backups**: database-per-tenant is a clean per-tenant restore story — drop a tenant's DB, restore from a snapshot, done. Row-scoping means restoring involves selective DELETE/INSERT across shared tables; plan this before you ship.
+- **Provisioning**: a new tenant needs a row in your shared `tenants` table, a new datasource (for schema- or DB-per-tenant), the schema or DB created, migrations run, and default seed data inserted. Bake this into a single script or a background job so onboarding a tenant is one button, not seven steps.
+- **Observability**: include `tenant().id` in every log line and error report. When something goes wrong, you want "tenant acme saw a 500" not "some user saw a 500."

+title: Packages
+description: Activating first-party packages, writing your own, the package.json manifest, and the activation model.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 10
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to work with Wheels packages — optional first-party modules that ship in the monorepo under `packages/` and activate when copied into `vendor/`. You'll activate a shipped package, read the `package.json` manifest, write your own package, understand the error-isolation boundary around each one, and see where the CLI surface is heading next.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How the `packages/` → `vendor/` activation model works and why there's no registration step
+- Which first-party packages ship with Wheels and what each one does
+- Every field in the `package.json` manifest, including the explicit `provides.mixins` opt-in
+- How to write your own package — directory layout, lifecycle, and where mixin methods land
+- How error isolation keeps a broken package from crashing the app
+- The current state of package distribution and the planned install CLI
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how middleware and the DI container work if your package provides those. See [Middleware Pipeline](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/middleware-pipeline/) and [Dependency Injection](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/dependency-injection/).
+</Aside>
+
+## The activation model
+
+On application startup, Wheels runs `vendor/wheels/PackageLoader.cfc`. It scans `vendor/` for every subdirectory that contains a `package.json`, skips `vendor/wheels/` (the framework core itself), resolves the dependency graph across whatever it finds, and loads each package in topological order. There is no separate registration step — presence of a directory under `vendor/` with a valid manifest *is* the activation.
+
+This inverts the classic plugin pattern. Instead of a registry that names every installed plugin, the filesystem layout is the registry. To add a package, you put its files where the loader looks. To remove one, you take them away.
+
+`packages/` in the repo is a **staging area**. Files there are never loaded. Activation means getting a copy (or symlink) of a package into `vendor/` under its own directory.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  Wheels 4.0 does not yet ship a `wheels package install` command. Activation is manual — `cp -r` or a symlink. This is tracked as a framework gap; once the CLI surface ships, this page will document the install command as the canonical workflow.
+</Aside>
+
+Manual activation:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+cp -r packages/hotwire vendor/hotwire
+wheels reload
+```
+
+Symlink for active development (edits in `packages/` take effect immediately):
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+ln -s ../../packages/hotwire vendor/hotwire
+wheels reload
+```
+
+Deactivation is equally manual — delete the `vendor/<name>` directory and reload:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+rm -rf vendor/hotwire
+wheels reload
+```
+
+The reload step re-runs `PackageLoader`, which rediscovers what's in `vendor/` and reconciles the mixin, service, and middleware tables with the new state.
+
+## First-party packages
+
+Four packages ship in `packages/` as of Wheels 4.0. All are optional; the framework core runs fine with none of them activated.
+
+- **`hotwire/`** (`wheels-hotwire`) — Turbo Drive, Turbo Frames, Turbo Streams, and Stimulus integration for server-rendered UI. Mixes into controllers and views. Used heavily in the tutorial app.
+- **`basecoat/`** (`wheels-basecoat`) — UI component helpers styled with Tailwind CSS. shadcn/ui-quality forms, buttons, and cards without React. Mixes into controllers and views.
+- **`sentry/`** (`wheels-sentry`) — Sentry.io error tracking with framework-aware context enrichment. Captures exceptions with request, user, and route context. Mixes into controllers.
+- **`legacyadapter/`** (`wheels-legacy-adapter`) — Backward-compatibility shim for Wheels 3.x plugins. Deprecation logging, API adapters, and a scanner that flags 3.x patterns you should modernize. Mixes into controllers.
+
+A fifth candidate, `wheels-i18n`, lives as a plugin at [`wheels-dev/wheels-i18n`](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels-i18n) on GitHub and is planned for conversion to a first-party package in a future release.
+
+## The `package.json` manifest
+
+Every package declares a `package.json` at its root. The loader parses it before instantiating any CFC, so a manifest error isolates cleanly — the package is skipped, but the rest of the app boots.
+
+```json title="packages/sentry/package.json"
+{
+    "name": "wheels-sentry",
+    "version": "1.0.0",
+    "author": "PAI Industries",
+    "description": "Sentry error tracking for Wheels with framework-aware context enrichment",
+    "wheelsVersion": ">=3.0",
+    "provides": {
+        "mixins": "controller",
+        "services": [],
+        "middleware": []
+    },
+    "dependencies": {}
+}
+```
+
+Field reference:
+
+- **`name`** — the package name as you'd reference it in docs or a future registry. Usually matches the directory but doesn't have to (`wheels-sentry` lives in `sentry/`). Required.
+- **`version`** — semver. Required. Used in load logs and by future install tooling.
+- **`author`** — free-form string. Not validated.
+- **`description`** — one-line description shown in logs and tooling.
+- **`wheelsVersion`** — compatibility range (npm semver syntax). Declared as a constraint against the framework version; mismatches are logged.
+- **`provides.mixins`** — comma-delimited target list: `controller`, `view`, `model`, `global`, `none`. **Default is `none`** — a package with no `provides.mixins` field contributes no mixed-in methods. This is the explicit opt-in model and is a deliberate break from legacy plugins, which defaulted to `global` and made reasoning about method provenance hard.
+- **`provides.services`** — reserved for services the package registers with the DI container. Currently populated by the package's own `register()` hook rather than read from the manifest; the field is here for future tooling.
+- **`provides.middleware`** — array of middleware entries the loader appends to the global pipeline. Each entry is `{"component": "vendor.mypackage.MyMiddleware", "options": {...}}`.
+- **`dependencies`** — map of other package names to version ranges. The loader resolves these into a load order (topological sort) so a dependent package sees its dependencies already loaded.
+
+The four `provides.mixins` targets map to where a package's public methods become callable:
+
+- `controller` — methods available on every controller instance (and in controller filters)
+- `view` — methods available in every view and partial
+- `model` — methods available on every model
+- `global` — all three at once (use sparingly; it's the old plugin default and the one we're steering away from)
+- `none` — no mixin; the package is service/middleware-only
+
+## Writing your own package
+
+A package is a directory with a `package.json` and at least one CFC. The loader's convention is that the main CFC's filename matches the directory name — `packages/myfeature/MyFeature.cfc` — and gets instantiated via `CreateObject("component", "vendor.myfeature.MyFeature").init()`. If that file doesn't exist, the loader falls back to the first `.cfc` it finds in the directory.
+
+A minimal layout:
+
+```
+packages/myfeature/
+  package.json                     # manifest (required)
+  MyFeature.cfc                    # main entry — matches directory name
+  middleware/MyMiddleware.cfc      # optional — referenced in provides.middleware
+  tests/                           # optional — runs via the core test runner
+```
+
+A minimal manifest:
+
+```json title="packages/myfeature/package.json"
+{
+    "name": "my-feature",
+    "version": "0.1.0",
+    "description": "Adds a thing to Wheels",
+    "wheelsVersion": ">=4.0",
+    "provides": {
+        "mixins": "controller"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+A minimal entry CFC:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="packages/myfeature/MyFeature.cfc"
+component output="false" {
+
+    public any function init() {
+        return this;
+    }
+
+    /**
+     * Public methods become mixins on the targets declared in provides.mixins.
+     * This one lands on every controller because the manifest says "controller".
+     */
+    public string function myHelper(required string name) {
+        return "Hello, " & arguments.name;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+After copying `packages/myfeature/` to `vendor/myfeature/` and reloading, every controller has `myHelper()` available. The framework collects public methods from the package instance and merges them into the application mixin tables — the same machinery that runs for plugins, but scoped to the targets you named in the manifest.
+
+Lifecycle hook names the loader specifically skips when collecting mixins: `init`, `onPluginLoad`, `onPluginActivate`, `register`, `boot`. If you name a method any of those, it won't be mixed in — the loader treats them as package infrastructure. `register(container)` and `boot(app)` are recognized as DI service-provider hooks if the CFC declares `implements="wheels.ServiceProviderInterface"`.
+
+## Per-method mixin overrides
+
+The manifest-level `provides.mixins` sets the default for every public method. If one method needs a different target, annotate the method with a `mixin` metadata attribute — the loader reads it via `GetMetadata()` and overrides the package default for that method only.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="packages/myfeature/MyFeature.cfc"
+component output="false" {
+
+    public any function init() {
+        return this;
+    }
+
+    // This method follows the manifest default (controller).
+    public string function controllerOnlyHelper() {
+        return "I'm on controllers";
+    }
+
+    // This method overrides to view-only, even if the manifest says "controller".
+    public string function viewOnlyHelper() mixin="view" {
+        return "I'm on views";
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Error isolation
+
+Every package loads inside its own try/catch. A package that throws during manifest parsing, CFC instantiation, or mixin collection is recorded in the loader's `failedPackages` array and logged to the application log. The rest of the app — framework core, other packages, application code — continues loading normally.
+
+Common failure modes and what happens:
+
+- **Malformed `package.json`** — logged as a manifest error, package skipped.
+- **Missing required manifest fields (`name`, `version`)** — same: logged and skipped.
+- **Dependency not installed** — the dependency-resolution phase records the error before any CFC is instantiated. Dependent packages are excluded from the load order.
+- **Circular dependencies** — surfaces as a graph error at resolution time; all packages in the cycle are excluded with a clear log message.
+- **Exception during CFC `init()`** — caught, logged with stack, package skipped. Mixins are never partially applied.
+- **Checksum mismatch** (if `checksums` declared in manifest) — logged as a security warning, package skipped.
+
+The framework's contract is that activating a broken package cannot take down a working app. Check the application log after a deploy to see which packages loaded, which were skipped, and why.
+
+## Testing a package
+
+Package tests live under `packages/<name>/tests/`. Each first-party package ships its own suite. Once activated in `vendor/`, you can run a package's tests through the core test runner by pointing `directory` at the package subdirectory:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+curl "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json&directory=vendor.sentry.tests"
+```
+
+This compiles and runs every spec under `vendor/sentry/tests/` and nothing else — the same mechanism the framework uses for its own suite, scoped to one package. Any spec that extends `wheels.WheelsTest` works here without extra wiring.
+
+## Dependency resolution
+
+When a package's manifest declares `dependencies`, the loader builds a dependency graph and loads in topological order — dependencies first, dependents later. A package with no dependencies can load anytime; a package that declares `"dependencies": {"hotwire": ">=0.1.0"}` is guaranteed to see the Hotwire mixins already installed before its own `init()` runs.
+
+If a declared dependency isn't present in `vendor/`, or if two packages form a cycle, the loader records the error and excludes every package involved in the failure — again, without taking down the app.
+
+## Publishing
+
+Wheels 4.0 has no centralized package registry yet. The current distribution story:
+
+- **First-party packages** — ship inside the `packages/` directory of the Wheels repo. You get them by having the framework.
+- **Third-party packages** — published as their own GitHub repos. Users clone or download the repo, then copy the contents under `packages/` in their app, then activate into `vendor/`. Some packages ship an install script; others document a manual clone.
+
+Several strong candidates for first-party promotion already exist as 3.x-era plugins. `wheels-i18n` is the first flagged for conversion — a ported, package-shaped version will replace the CLAUDE.md note in a future release.
+
+## The future of package install
+
+Framework gap #2 tracks adding a proper CLI surface:
+
+- `wheels package install <name>` — fetch a package from a registry or URL, verify it, place it in `packages/`, and activate into `vendor/`.
+- `wheels package list` — show installed and activated packages with versions.
+- `wheels package activate <name>` / `wheels package deactivate <name>` — manage the `vendor/` symlink or copy without the user running `cp` and `rm`.
+
+Until those commands land, scripting `cp -r packages/<name> vendor/<name>` in your app's deploy pipeline (or committing the `vendor/<name>` copy directly to your app repo) is the best practice. Both approaches are stable — the activation model itself isn't expected to change when the CLI arrives, only the ergonomics.

+title: Rate Limiting
+description: Throttle requests per client — three strategies, memory vs database storage, custom keying, and response headers.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 13
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to throttle incoming requests with the built-in `wheels.middleware.RateLimiter`. You'll pick a strategy (fixed window, sliding window, or token bucket), decide between in-memory and database-backed storage, key requests by something other than client IP when needed, understand the `X-RateLimit-*` response headers the middleware writes, and scope strict limits to sensitive routes like `/login`.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The three throttling strategies and when each one fits
+- How to enable `wheels.middleware.RateLimiter` globally
+- Memory vs database storage — and why multi-node deployments need the latter
+- How to key by API token instead of client IP
+- What response headers the middleware writes (and what clients see on a 429)
+- How to apply tighter limits to individual routes
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how middleware runs. See [Middleware Pipeline](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/middleware-pipeline/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Three strategies
+
+The `strategy` argument picks the throttling algorithm. All three enforce a budget of `maxRequests` per `windowSeconds`, but they behave differently at boundaries and under bursts.
+
+- **Fixed window** (default, `"fixedWindow"`) — the simplest. Counts requests per discrete `windowSeconds`-long bucket and resets at every boundary. Cheap on memory and trivial to reason about, but a client can burst at the very end of one window and the very start of the next, effectively getting `2 × maxRequests` for a moment.
+- **Sliding window** (`"slidingWindow"`) — smoother. Maintains a timestamp log per client and prunes entries older than `windowSeconds`. Eliminates the boundary-burst problem at the cost of more memory per client (one timestamp per recent request).
+- **Token bucket** (`"tokenBucket"`) — burst-friendly. A bucket holds up to `maxRequests` tokens and refills at `maxRequests / windowSeconds` tokens per second. Each request costs one token. Idle clients accumulate a full bucket and can then burst; sustained high rates starve on the refill rate. Best for APIs where occasional spikes are fine but long-running high rates should throttle.
+
+## Basic config — fixed window
+
+Register the middleware globally in `config/settings.cfm`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
+        maxRequests=60,
+        windowSeconds=60
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+With no other arguments you get: `strategy="fixedWindow"`, `storage="memory"`, and keying by client IP. Every client gets 60 requests per 60 seconds.
+
+## Sliding window
+
+Swap the strategy for smoother enforcement:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
+        maxRequests=100,
+        windowSeconds=120,
+        strategy="slidingWindow"
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+100 requests per 120-second sliding window. A client is throttled whenever 100 requests have been made in the past 120 seconds, regardless of clock boundaries.
+
+## Token bucket
+
+Token bucket allows bursts up to capacity, then throttles to the refill rate:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
+        maxRequests=50,
+        windowSeconds=60,
+        strategy="tokenBucket"
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+Bucket capacity: 50. Refill rate: `50 / 60 ≈ 0.83` tokens per second. A fresh client can burst 50 requests in a second, then must wait ~1.2 seconds per subsequent request until the bucket refills.
+
+## Storage backends
+
+`storage` defaults to `"memory"` and holds counters in a per-JVM `ConcurrentHashMap`. Fast and requires zero setup — but each Wheels node has its own counters. Behind a load balancer, a client hitting two nodes gets double the limit, because each node throttles against its own map.
+
+For multi-node deployments, use `storage="database"`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
+        maxRequests=100,
+        windowSeconds=60,
+        storage="database"
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+The middleware auto-creates a `wheels_rate_limits` table on first use (via `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`). All nodes read and write to the same table, so the budget is shared. Database storage is slower per request than memory — use it only when you need shared state.
+
+## Custom key function
+
+By default each client is keyed by IP address. For token-authenticated APIs you usually want to key by the API token so a client behind a shared NAT doesn't share a budget with unrelated traffic:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(middleware = [
+    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
+        maxRequests=1000,
+        windowSeconds=60,
+        keyFunction=function(req) {
+            return req.cgi.http_x_api_key ?: "anonymous";
+        }
+    )
+]);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+The closure receives the request struct and returns a unique-per-client string. Fall back to a constant like `"anonymous"` so unauthenticated traffic still hits some limit — otherwise an attacker who omits the header accumulates counter entries under whatever empty-string key your code returns.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  Keys longer than `maxKeyLength` (default 128) are auto-replaced with a SHA-256 hash to bound memory. You don't need to truncate keys yourself.
+</Aside>
+
+## Response headers
+
+On every request (allowed or rejected), the middleware writes three headers:
+
+```
+X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
+X-RateLimit-Remaining: 42
+X-RateLimit-Reset: 1713589200
+```
+
+- `X-RateLimit-Limit` — the `maxRequests` you configured.
+- `X-RateLimit-Remaining` — how many requests this client has left in the current window.
+- `X-RateLimit-Reset` — Unix timestamp when the client's budget refreshes.
+
+The header prefix is configurable via the `headerPrefix` constructor argument (defaults to `"X-RateLimit"`).
+
+When a client exceeds the limit, the middleware returns `429 Too Many Requests` with `Retry-After` added:
+
+```
+HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
+Retry-After: 47
+X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
+X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
+X-RateLimit-Reset: 1713589247
+```
+
+`Retry-After` is the whole-second wait until the budget refreshes, per RFC 7231. Well-behaved clients honor it automatically.
+
+## Per-route rate limiting
+
+Global limits are fine for most traffic, but sensitive endpoints (login, password reset, signup) deserve much stricter budgets. Apply a second `RateLimiter` to a route scope:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .scope(
+        path="/login",
+        middleware=[
+            new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
+                maxRequests=5,
+                windowSeconds=60
+            )
+        ],
+        callback=function(map) {
+            map.post(name="authenticate", pattern="/", to="sessions##create");
+        }
+    )
+    .resources("users")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+Global middleware from `config/settings.cfm` still runs — it composes with the scope-level one. The pattern is: a permissive global limit (say 60/min) plus a tight limit on sensitive routes (5/min on login) so a brute-force attempt trips the narrow limit long before the broad one.
+
+## Debugging unexpected rejections
+
+If clients complain about being throttled when they shouldn't be, walk this checklist:
+
+- **Check the server-seen IP vs the real client IP.** Behind a load balancer or reverse proxy, every request looks like it came from the proxy's IP — so all traffic shares one budget. Enable `trustProxy=true` to read `X-Forwarded-For`, but only when your proxy sanitizes that header (otherwise clients can spoof it).
+- **Use a keyFunction that reads the real identity.** For APIs, key by API token. For logged-in users, key by session or user ID. IP-only keying fails badly behind NATs and shared networks.
+- **Inspect `X-RateLimit-Remaining`** in responses to see exactly where the client is in its budget. If it hits zero unexpectedly, either the client is making more requests than you thought or the key is collapsing traffic from multiple clients into one bucket.
+- **Temporarily raise the budget** for debugging: `maxRequests=10000, windowSeconds=1` effectively disables throttling while you isolate the real issue. Remember to put it back.

+title: Route Model Binding
+description: Load records from the URL automatically — per-resource opt-in, global default, custom model name, scope-level binding, and the dev-mode warning when it's off.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 11
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to stop writing `findByKey(params.key)` at the top of every member action. You'll enable route model binding per-resource, flip the global default, override the model class when the resource name doesn't singularize cleanly, apply binding across an entire URL scope, handle the 404 that fires for missing records, and recognize the dev-mode warning the framework logs when a binding-eligible route has binding turned off.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How per-resource `binding=true` auto-loads records into `params.<singular>`
+- How `set(routeModelBinding=true)` makes it the default for every resource
+- How `binding="ModelName"` overrides the convention-derived class name
+- How scope-level binding cascades to every nested resource
+- What happens when the record doesn't exist — `Wheels.RecordNotFound` and the 404
+- The dev-mode hint the framework writes to the Wheels log when binding is off but the route looks like a binding candidate
+- Which actions binding affects (and which it doesn't)
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how routes map to actions. See [How Routing Works](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/how-routing-works/) for the match algorithm and [Routing](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/routing/) for the `.resources()` DSL.
+</Aside>
+
+## What route model binding does
+
+Without binding, every member action has to reach for the record itself. You call `findByKey`, check for a missing row, and bail out with a redirect or a 404 before you get to do anything interesting:
+
+```cfm title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc — without binding"
+function show() {
+    post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+    if (!IsObject(post)) {
+        redirectTo(route="posts", error="Not found");
+        return;
+    }
+    // ...the rest of show
+}
+```
+
+With `binding=true` on the resource, the dispatcher runs that lookup before your action does, stores the result under `params.post`, and throws `Wheels.RecordNotFound` (rendering a 404) when the record is missing. The action is reduced to the happy path:
+
+```cfm title="app/controllers/Posts.cfc — with binding"
+function show() {
+    // params.post is already loaded.
+    // A 404 fired before show() ran if the record didn't exist.
+}
+```
+
+The behavior is implemented in `$resolveRouteModelBinding()` on `vendor/wheels/Dispatch.cfc`, which runs after route match and before filters. Filters, verifiers, and the action itself all see the resolved instance.
+
+## Per-resource opt-in
+
+The fastest way in is to add `binding=true` to a single resource. The four member actions (`show`, `edit`, `update`, `delete`) — the ones that receive `params.key` — get an auto-loaded `params.post`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .resources(name="posts", binding=true)
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+The singular model name is derived from the controller name: `posts` (controller) → `Post` (model class) → `params.post` (instance key). Binding is skipped for `index`, `new`, and `create` — those actions have no `params.key` to resolve against.
+
+## Global default
+
+If you want binding turned on everywhere without editing each resource, flip the application-wide default in `config/settings.cfm`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/settings.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+set(routeModelBinding=true);
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+Every `.resources(...)` call without an explicit `binding=` argument now behaves as if you had written `binding=true`. An individual resource can still opt out with `binding=false`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm — opt out of the global default"
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .resources("posts")                       // inherits the global default → bound
+    .resources(name="webhooks", binding=false) // explicit opt-out → not bound
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+The default value of `routeModelBinding` is `false` — binding is off until you enable it per-resource or globally.
+
+## Custom model class name
+
+The convention is `capitalize(singularize(controllerName))` — `posts` → `Post`, `blog-posts` → `BlogPost`, `users` → `User`. When the controller name doesn't singularize to the class you want to load, pass a model class name instead of `true`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .resources(name="articles", binding="BlogPost")
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+`binding="BlogPost"` resolves the `BlogPost` model and stores the instance under `params.blogPost` (the lowercase-initial form of the class name). The `binding` argument accepts `true`, `false`, or a simple string — any non-boolean string is treated as the model class to load.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  If the model class doesn't exist (for example, the resource is routing to a controller that doesn't have a backing model), the dispatcher silently skips binding instead of throwing. This keeps non-model resources — health checks, static pages, API gateways — working without extra configuration.
+</Aside>
+
+## Scope-level binding
+
+Inside a `.scope()` block, `binding=true` cascades to every nested resource. One declaration turns binding on for a whole URL prefix:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/routes.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+mapper()
+    .scope(path="/api", binding=true, callback=function(map) {
+        map.resources("users");    // bound → params.user
+        map.resources("posts");    // bound → params.post
+        map.resources("comments"); // bound → params.comment
+    })
+    .wildcard()
+.end();
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+Each nested resource inherits the scope's binding value unless it explicitly overrides it. You can still opt a single resource out with `binding=false` inside the callback — the inheritance is a default, not a lock.
+
+## The 404 behavior
+
+When binding is enabled and `params.key` is present, the dispatcher calls `model(ModelName).findByKey(params.key)`. If that returns `false` — Wheels' "no record" sentinel — the dispatcher raises `Wheels.RecordNotFound` before your action runs, with an extended-info message that includes the failing key (HTML-encoded for safety).
+
+You handle the error the same way you handle any other uncaught exception: wire a custom error page in `config/events/onerror.cfm`, or let Wheels render the framework default 404. Because the throw happens in dispatch, the member action never executes on a missing record. Your `show`, `edit`, `update`, and `delete` bodies can assume `params.<singular>` is a valid, hydrated model instance — no `IsObject()` guards needed.
+
+## The dev-mode warning
+
+When binding is **off** and a route matches a binding-eligible member action with `params.key` set, Wheels writes a one-time warning to the `wheels` log. This catches the silent-failure case where a developer writes `post = params.post;` in a `show` action but forgot to enable binding on the resource:
+
+```text title="logs/wheels.log — example warning"
+Wheels Route Binding Hint: SHOW on controller 'posts' (route 'post') dispatched
+with params.key but route model binding is not enabled on this resource. If you
+intended params.post to be auto-loaded from the Post model, add binding=true to
+the resource:  .resources(name="posts", binding=true). Or enable globally in
+config/settings.cfm: set(routeModelBinding=true). To silence this hint:
+set(suppressRouteBindingWarnings=true) in config/settings.cfm. (Hint fires in
+development only.)
+```
+
+Trigger conditions (all must hold):
+
+- `environment` is not `"production"` — the hint is silent in production
+- `suppressRouteBindingWarnings` is not set to `true` in `config/settings.cfm`
+- The matched route has `params.key` set
+- The resolved action is one of `show`, `edit`, `update`, `delete`
+- No warning for the same controller-plus-action pair has been emitted this app lifetime (dedup resets on reload)
+
+To silence the hint without enabling binding, add `set(suppressRouteBindingWarnings=true)` to `config/settings.cfm`. The emission is wrapped in a try/catch so a logging failure never blocks dispatch.
+
+## Which actions binding affects
+
+Binding resolves against `params.key` — so it only applies to the four member actions that receive a key in the URL: `show`, `edit`, `update`, `delete`. Collection actions (`index`, `new`, `create`) don't have a key to look up, so enabling binding has no effect on them; you still load records yourself with `findAll()`, `new()`, or whatever the action needs.

+  You should already know: basic Wheels controllers, generators, and the `params` struct. Finish the [tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/) first. If you've never enqueued a background job before, skim [Background Jobs](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/background-jobs/) — the async section below builds on it.
+</Aside>
+
+## The one function
+
+Wheels ships a single email function: `sendEmail()`, available on every controller. It renders a view template, composes a `cfmail` call, and delivers it through your configured SMTP server. Everything else — the mailer class convention, multi-part bodies, attachments, async sending — is a pattern around that one call.
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        user = model("User").create(params.user);
+        sendEmail(
+            template="welcome",
+            from="no-reply@example.com",
+            to=user.email,
+            subject="Welcome!",
+            user=user
+        );
+        redirectTo(route="login");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Custom keys (like `user=user` above) are forwarded to the view template as local variables — `user` is in scope inside `app/views/controllername/welcome.cfm`.
+
+## Configure SMTP defaults
+
+You don't want to repeat `server`, `username`, `password` on every `sendEmail()` call. Set per-function defaults in `config/settings.cfm`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+// config/settings.cfm
+set(functionName="sendEmail",
+    from="no-reply@example.com",
+    server="smtp.example.com",
+    port=587,
+    useTLS=true,
+    username="smtp-user",
+    password=application.wo.env("SMTP_PASSWORD"));
+```
+
+Every argument `cfmail` accepts is available here: `server`, `port`, `username`, `password`, `useSSL`, `useTLS`, `from`, `replyto`, `failto`, `subject`, and more. Pulling secrets from `application.wo.env()` keeps credentials out of source control.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  Wheels does not define a `mailerSettings` struct. SMTP connection arguments go through the `sendEmail` function defaults (above) or via your CFML engine's mail service configuration. Anything you can pass to `cfmail`, you can set as a `sendEmail` default.
+</Aside>
+
+## Organize sends in `app/mailers/`
+
+For anything beyond a one-liner, move the send call out of the controller and into a mailer component. Mailers are plain CFCs — no framework base class — that wrap `sendEmail()` behind a named method:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/mailers/UserMailer.cfc"
+component {
+    public any function sendWelcome(required any user) {
+        return new wheels.Controller().sendEmail(
+            template="/mailers/user/welcome",
+            layout="/mailers/layout",
+            from="no-reply@example.com",
+            to=arguments.user.email,
+            subject="Welcome, ##arguments.user.firstName##!",
+            user=arguments.user
+        );
+    }
+
+    public any function sendPasswordReset(required any user, required string token) {
+        return new wheels.Controller().sendEmail(
+            template="/mailers/user/password_reset",
+            layout="/mailers/layout",
+            from="no-reply@example.com",
+            to=arguments.user.email,
+            subject="Reset your password",
+            user=arguments.user,
+            token=arguments.token
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Put the views under `app/views/mailers/user/welcome.cfm` and `app/views/mailers/user/password_reset.cfm`. The leading slash on `template=` makes the path absolute (rooted at `app/views/`) so the mailer works regardless of which controller triggered it.
+
+Call it from any controller:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        user = model("User").create(params.user);
+        if (user.hasErrors()) {
+            renderView(action="new");
+            return;
+        }
+        new app.mailers.UserMailer().sendWelcome(user);
+        redirectTo(route="login", success="Welcome! Please log in.");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Write the template
+
+Templates are regular Wheels view files. Any custom key you pass to `sendEmail()` or the mailer method is available as a local variable:
+
+```cfm title="app/views/mailers/user/welcome.cfm"
+<cfoutput>
+<p>Hi #user.firstName#,</p>
+<p>Welcome to the app. Log in any time at #linkTo(route='login', onlyPath=false)#.</p>
+</cfoutput>
+```
+
+Pass `onlyPath=false` to `linkTo()` inside email templates — a relative path like `/login` is useless in an inbox.
+
+## Send in a background job
+
+`sendEmail()` runs synchronously. On a signup form that means the user's browser waits for SMTP to hand off the message before the redirect fires — adds hundreds of milliseconds on a good day, seconds when the mail server hiccups. Push the send into a job:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/jobs/SendWelcomeEmailJob.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.Job" {
+    function config() {
+        super.config();
+        this.queue = "mailers";
+        this.maxRetries = 5;
+    }
+
+    public void function perform(required struct data) {
+        user = model("User").findByKey(arguments.data.userId);
+        new app.mailers.UserMailer().sendWelcome(user);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The controller enqueues instead of sending inline:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function create() {
+        user = model("User").create(params.user);
+        if (user.hasErrors()) {
+            renderView(action="new");
+            return;
+        }
+        job = new app.jobs.SendWelcomeEmailJob();
+        job.enqueue(data={userId: user.id});
+        redirectTo(route="login", success="Welcome! Please log in.");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Pass IDs through the job payload, not model instances — a serialized model re-hydrated from the queue drifts from the live record. The job fetches fresh on the worker.
+
+A worker process picks up the job and runs `perform()`; retries happen automatically with exponential backoff. See [Background Jobs](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/background-jobs/) for the full job lifecycle, worker CLI, and retry tuning.
+
+## Multi-part HTML + plain text
+
+Some clients — screen readers, plain-text mail apps, spam filters — prefer a plain-text body. Ship both. Pass two templates to `sendEmail()` as a comma-separated list:
+
+```
+app/views/mailers/user/
+  welcome.cfm        # HTML body
+  welcome.txt.cfm    # plain-text body
+```
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+sendEmail(
+    templates="/mailers/user/welcome,/mailers/user/welcome.txt",
+    from="no-reply@example.com",
+    to=user.email,
+    subject="Welcome!",
+    user=user
+);
+```
+
+By default Wheels inspects both rendered bodies, picks the one with fewer `<` characters as the text part, and emits a `multipart/alternative` message — no `contentType="multipart"` flag required. If you'd rather be explicit, pass `detectMultipart=false` and put the text template first in the list.
+
+Most mail clients prefer the HTML part when both are present; the plain-text part is the fallback. Both parts render from the same set of custom keys you passed to `sendEmail()`.
+
+## Attachments
+
+Pass `file=` (or its alias `files=`) with one or more paths. Paths without a slash are resolved relative to `application.wheels.filePath` (defaults to `files/` at the app root):
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+sendEmail(
+    template="/mailers/billing/invoice",
+    from="billing@example.com",
+    to=user.email,
+    subject="Your invoice",
+    file="invoices/#user.id#-2026-04.pdf",
+    user=user
+);
+```
+
+Multiple attachments:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+sendEmail(
+    template="/mailers/billing/invoice",
+    from="billing@example.com",
+    to=user.email,
+    subject="Your invoice and receipt",
+    files="invoices/#user.id#.pdf,receipts/#user.id#.pdf",
+    user=user
+);
+```
+
+Absolute paths and URLs work too (`/var/app/pdfs/invoice.pdf`, `https://cdn.example.com/logo.png`) — anything `cfmailparam`'s `file` attribute accepts is valid.
+
+## Per-environment SMTP
+
+Development rarely wants real mail going out. Point dev at a local capture tool (MailHog, Mailpit, Mailtrap); point production at the real provider. The `config/<env>/settings.cfm` convention picks up per-environment overrides:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/development/settings.cfm"
+set(functionName="sendEmail",
+    server="localhost",
+    port=1025,        // MailHog default
+    username="",
+    password="",
+    useTLS=false);
+```
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="config/production/settings.cfm"
+set(functionName="sendEmail",
+    from="no-reply@example.com",
+    server="smtp.postmarkapp.com",
+    port=587,
+    useTLS=true,
+    username=application.wo.env("POSTMARK_TOKEN"),
+    password=application.wo.env("POSTMARK_TOKEN"));
+```
+
+Set the env var once in your deploy config; the same mailer code now routes mail correctly in every environment. See [Environments and Configuration](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/environments-and-configuration/) for the full per-environment settings pipeline.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  To see what an email would look like without delivering it, pass `deliver=false` to `sendEmail()`. Wheels renders the body, composes the arguments, and returns the struct — useful in tests and in dev when you just want to eyeball the HTML.
+</Aside>
+
+## Third-party services
+
+Postmark, SendGrid, AWS SES, Mailgun — they all expose an SMTP endpoint. The mailer code above doesn't change per-provider; only the `server`, `port`, `username`, `password` defaults do.
+
+| Provider | Server | Port | Username | Password |
+|----------|--------|------|----------|----------|
+| **Postmark** | `smtp.postmarkapp.com` | 587 | your server token | your server token |
+| **SendGrid** | `smtp.sendgrid.net` | 587 | `apikey` (literal) | your API key |
+| **AWS SES** | `email-smtp.<region>.amazonaws.com` | 587 | SES SMTP username | SES SMTP password |
+| **Mailgun** | `smtp.mailgun.org` | 587 | `postmaster@<domain>` | Mailgun SMTP password |
+
+Each provider has its own sender-verification and domain-setup flow (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). Follow their docs for that — the framework side is just SMTP.

+title: Server-Sent Events
+description: Stream updates to the browser over plain HTTP — one-shot responses and long-lived streams.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 7
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+This page shows you how to push data from a Wheels controller to a browser over a plain HTTP connection. You'll render a one-shot SSE event, stream many events over a long-lived connection, detect `EventSource` clients for content negotiation, and handle the reverse-proxy and auth quirks that trip up first-time SSE deployments.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- When SSE is the right choice versus WebSockets
+- How to render a single SSE event from a controller action with `renderSSE()`
+- How to stream many events over one connection with `initSSEStream()` / `sendSSEEvent()` / `closeSSEStream()`
+- How to consume events from the browser's `EventSource` API
+- How to keep long-lived connections alive through timeouts and reverse proxies
+- How to authenticate SSE requests when the browser won't let you set custom headers
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how controller actions render. See [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/).
+</Aside>
+
+## SSE vs WebSockets
+
+SSE (Server-Sent Events) is a one-way channel from server to client over plain HTTP. The browser opens a long-lived GET request with `Accept: text/event-stream`; the server keeps writing event frames to the response body; the browser reconnects automatically if the connection drops.
+
+- **SSE:** server → client only, plain HTTP, built-in auto-reconnect, passes through every proxy and firewall that speaks HTTP.
+- **WebSockets:** bidirectional, separate `ws://` protocol, richer feature set but harder to deploy behind a reverse proxy and requires its own connection lifecycle.
+
+Use SSE when the client only needs to listen — notifications, live dashboards, progress bars, log tailing, incremental search results. Reach for WebSockets when the client also needs to push.
+
+## One-shot SSE response
+
+The simplest pattern: a controller action responds to an `EventSource` request with a single event. The browser reconnects automatically to pick up the next one. This is cheap and plays well with horizontal scaling — no pinned connection, no sticky sessions.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Notifications.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function poll() {
+        data = model("Notification").findAll(
+            where="userId=##params.userId## AND sent=0",
+            order="createdAt DESC",
+            maxRows=10
+        );
+        renderSSE(
+            data=SerializeJSON(data),
+            event="notifications",
+            id=params.lastId ?: ""
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`renderSSE()` sets the SSE headers (`Content-Type: text/event-stream`, `Cache-Control: no-cache`, `Connection: keep-alive`, `X-Accel-Buffering: no`), formats the event, and writes it as the response body. Its arguments:
+
+- `data` — the event body. Serialize JSON or plain text; multi-line strings are split into separate `data:` lines per the SSE spec.
+- `event` — the event type name. Clients subscribe with `addEventListener('notifications', …)`.
+- `id` — the event ID. On reconnect, the browser sends it back as the `Last-Event-ID` request header so you can resume.
+- `retry` — optional reconnection delay in milliseconds. Omit to let the browser default (~3 seconds) apply.
+
+## Streaming multiple events
+
+For a single connection that pushes many events over its lifetime, use the streaming API. This bypasses the normal Wheels render pipeline — no layout, no after-filters — and writes directly to the underlying response writer.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Activity.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function stream() {
+        writer = initSSEStream();
+        try {
+            items = model("Activity").findAll(
+                where="createdAt > '##params.since##'",
+                order="createdAt"
+            );
+            for (var item in items) {
+                sendSSEEvent(
+                    writer=writer,
+                    data=SerializeJSON(item),
+                    event="update",
+                    id=item.id
+                );
+            }
+        } finally {
+            closeSSEStream(writer=writer);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Three calls do the work:
+
+- `initSSEStream()` sets the headers, grabs the response writer, and tells the framework to skip its own rendering. It returns the writer you pass to subsequent calls.
+- `sendSSEEvent()` formats one event and flushes it to the stream. Call it as many times as you need.
+- `closeSSEStream()` flushes one last time and closes the connection. Put it in a `finally` — without it, the connection hangs until the request timeout kicks in.
+
+For keep-alive pings on an otherwise idle stream, call `sendSSEComment(writer=writer, comment="ping")`. Comments are SSE-protocol lines that start with `:`, which the browser ignores. They keep proxies from closing an "idle" connection.
+
+## Detecting an SSE request
+
+Serve both HTML and SSE from the same route by checking what the client asked for. `isSSERequest()` returns `true` when the request's `Accept` header contains `text/event-stream`, which is what `EventSource` sends.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="app/controllers/Notifications.cfc"
+component extends="Controller" {
+    function index() {
+        data = model("Notification").findAll(where="userId=##params.userId##");
+        if (isSSERequest()) {
+            renderSSE(data=SerializeJSON(data), event="notifications");
+        } else {
+            renderWith(data=data);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+One action, two response formats. Browsers hitting `/notifications` get the HTML view; an `EventSource('/notifications')` gets SSE frames.
+
+## Client-side
+
+The browser side is the standard `EventSource` API. No library required.
+
+```javascript title="illustrative — browser JS in your layout or entrypoint"
+const es = new EventSource('/notifications/poll?userId=42');
+
+es.addEventListener('notifications', (e) => {
+    const data = JSON.parse(e.data);
+    // update UI
+});
+
+es.onerror = () => {
+    // the browser auto-reconnects; log or alert if needed
+};
+```
+
+`addEventListener(name, …)` subscribes to the `event:` type you sent from the server. If you omit `event=` on `renderSSE()`, events arrive as generic `message` events — use `es.onmessage` to catch them.
+
+## Auto-reconnect and event IDs
+
+When the connection drops — server restart, laptop sleep, flaky wifi — the browser reconnects on its own. No retry code to write.
+
+To resume from where the client left off, set `id=` on each event. The browser remembers the last ID it saw and sends it as `Last-Event-ID` on the reconnect request. Read it in your action and only return events newer than that:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — resume handler"
+local.lastId = GetHTTPRequestData().headers["Last-Event-ID"] ?: "";
+local.newer = model("Notification").findAll(
+    where="id > '##local.lastId##'",
+    order="id"
+);
+```
+
+Pair this with the one-shot `renderSSE()` pattern for the simplest implementation — each reconnect is just a new request, and `Last-Event-ID` is a query parameter in all but name.
+
+## Long-lived connections and timeouts
+
+Lucee and Tomcat enforce request timeouts measured in seconds, not hours. A streaming SSE endpoint will get killed mid-flight unless you raise the limit.
+
+For endpoints that stream indefinitely, bump the timeout in the action itself:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — disable request timeout"
+<cfsetting requesttimeout="86400">
+```
+
+Set it before `initSSEStream()`. The 24-hour value is a pragmatic cap — pure zero works on Lucee but not every engine or servlet container.
+
+You can also configure per-endpoint timeouts in `lucee.json` or your application server's config, but the inline `cfsetting` is the simplest and keeps the knob next to the code that needs it.
+
+## Authentication on SSE
+
+The browser's `EventSource` is a minimal API — you can't set custom headers on it, which rules out the `Authorization: Bearer …` pattern most APIs use. Three workable alternatives:
+
+- **Session cookies** — if the SSE endpoint is same-origin with the page that opened the `EventSource`, the session cookie is sent automatically. This is the default for a Wheels app serving its own SSE endpoints.
+- **Signed token in the query string** — pass a short-lived, signed token (not the raw session ID) in the URL: `new EventSource('/notifications?token=…')`. Validate it in a controller filter before `renderSSE()`. Log URLs accordingly — query strings show up in access logs and browser history.
+- **HttpOnly cookie set by a companion endpoint** — issue a POST that mints a short-lived auth cookie, then open the `EventSource`. Keeps the token out of the URL, but adds a round-trip.
+
+Gate the endpoint with a controller filter just like any other action. The fact that the response is SSE doesn't change how authentication runs.
+
+## Through reverse proxies
+
+Most reverse proxies buffer responses by default. Buffering breaks SSE — the browser won't see any events until the buffer fills, and for a low-volume notification feed that might be never.
+
+- **Nginx:** set `proxy_buffering off;` on the location that handles SSE. Wheels sets `X-Accel-Buffering: no` automatically, which Nginx respects on a per-response basis, but the `location`-level directive is the belt-and-braces version.
+- **Cloudflare:** SSE works through Cloudflare when the response streams without buffering. If you see delays, disable caching on the route and confirm `Cache-Control: no-cache` is set (Wheels does this for you).
+- **Traefik / Caddy:** streaming responses work out of the box. No extra config.
+
+Plan for this during deployment — cross-link to the upcoming Deployment guide when it lands.

-title: Creating Custom View Helpers
-description: Clean up your views by moving common functionality into helper functions.
----
-
-# Creating Custom View Helpers
-
-As you probably know already, Wheels gives you a lot of helper functions that you can use in your view pages.
-
-Perhaps what you didn't know was that you can also create your own view helper functions and have Wheels automatically make them available to you. To do this, you store your UDFs (User Defined Functions) in different controller-level helper files.
-
-### The /app/views/helpers.cfm File
-
-Once a UDF is placed in this file, it will be available for use in all your views.
-
-Alternatively, if you only need a set of functions in a specific controller of your application, you can make them controller-specific. This is done by placing a `helpers.cfm` file inside the controller's view folder.
-
-So if we wanted a set of helpers to generally only be available for your users controller, you would store the UDFs in this file:
-
-```javascript
-/app/views/users/helpers.cfm
-```
-
-Any functions in that file will now only be included for the view pages of that specific controller.
-
-### When _not_ to Use Helper Functions
-
-Helper functions, together with the use of [Partials](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/partials), gives you a way to keep your code nice and DRY, but there are a few things to keep in mind as you work with them.
-
-The `helpers.cfm` files are only meant to be used for views, hence the placement in the _**/app/views**_ folder.
-
-If you need to share non-view functionality across controllers, then those should be placed in the parent controller file, i.e. `/app/controllers/Controller.cfc`. If you need helper type functionality within a **single** controller file, you can just add it as a function in that controller and make it private so that it can't be called as an action (and as a reminder to yourself of its general purpose as well).
-
-The same applies to reusable model functionality: use the parent file, `/app/models/Model.cfc`. Private functions within your children models work well here, just like with controllers.
-
-If you need to share a function globally across your entire application, regardless of which MVC layer that will be accessing it, then you can place it in the `/app/events/functions.cfm` file.
-
-### The Difference Between Partials and Helpers
-
-Both partials and helpers are there to assist you in keeping programmatic details out of your views as much as possible. Both do the job well, and which one you choose is just a matter of preference.
-
-Generally speaking, it probably makes most sense to use partials when you're generating a lot of HTML and helpers when you're not.

-title: Date, Media, and Text Helpers
-description: >-
-  Wheels includes a plethora of view helpers to help you transform data into a
-  format more easily consumed by your applications' users
----
-
-# Date, Media, and Text Helpers
-
-Wheels's included view helper functions can help you out in those tricky little tasks that need to be performed in the front-end of your web applications. Although they are called miscellaneous, they are in fact categorized into 3 categories:
-
-* Date Helpers
-* Media Helpers
-* Text Helpers
-
-We also have separate chapters about Wheels form helpers in [Form Helpers and Showing Errors](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/form-helpers-and-showing-errors) and creating your own helpers in [Creating Custom View Helpers](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/creating-custom-view-helpers).
-
-### Date Helpers
-
-Wheels does a good job at simplifying the not so fun task of date and time transformations.
-
-Let's say that you have a comment section in your application, which shows the title, comment, and date/time of its publication. In the old days, your code would have looked something like this:
-
-```javascript
-<cfoutput query="comments">
-    <div class="comment">
-        <h2>#comments.title#</h2>
-
-        <p class="timestamp">
-            #DateFormat(comments.createdAt, "mmmm d, yyyy")#
-            #LCase(TimeFormat(comments.createdAt, "h:mm tt"))#</p>
-        <p>#comments.comment#</p>
-    </div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-That works, but it's pretty tedious. And if you think about it, the date will be formatted in a way that is not that meaningful to the end user.
-
-Instead of "April 27, 2009 10:10 pm," it may be more helpful to display "a few minutes ago" or "2 hours ago." This can be accomplished with a Wheels date helper called [timeAgoInWords()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.timeagoinwords.html).
-
-```javascript
-<cfoutput query="comments">
-    <div class="comment">
-        <h2>#comments.title#</h2>
-
-        <p class="timestamp">(#timeAgoInWords(comments.createdAt)#)</p>
-        <p>#comments.comment#</p>
-    </div>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-With that minimal change, you have a prettier presentation for your end users. And most important of all, it didn't require you to do anything fancy in your code.
-
-### Media Helpers
-
-Working with media is also a walk in the park with Wheels. Let's jump into a few quick examples.
-
-**Style Sheets**
-
-First, to include CSS files in your layout, you can use the [styleSheetLinkTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.styleSheetLinkTag.html) function:
-
-```javascript
-<!--- layout.cfm --->
-<cfoutput>
-    #styleSheetLinkTag("main")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-This will generate the `<link>` tag for you with everything needed to include the file at `public/stylesheets/main.css`.
-
-If you need to include more than one style sheet and change the media type to "print" for another, there are arguments for that as well:&#x20;
-
-```javascript
-#styleSheetLinkTag(sources="main,blog")#
-#styleSheetLinkTag(source="printer", media="print")#
-```
-
-Lastly, you can also link to stylesheets at a different domain or subdomain by specifying the full URL:
-
-```javascript
-#styleSheetLinkTag(    source="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.0/themes/cupertino/jquery-ui.css"
-)#
-```
-
-**JavaScript Files**
-
-Including JavaScript files is just as simple with the [javaScriptIncludeTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.javascriptincludetag.html) helper. This time, files are referenced from the _**public/javascripts**_ folder.
-
-```javascript
-#javaScriptIncludeTag("jquery")#
-```
-
-Like with style sheets, you can also specify lists of JavaScript includes as well as full URLs:
-
-```javascript
-#javaScriptIncludeTag("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js")#
-```
-
-**Displaying Images**
-
-Wheels's [imageTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.imagetag.html) helper also provides some simple, yet powerful functionality:
-
-```javascript
-<cfoutput>
-    #imageTag("logo.png")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-With this simple call, Wheels will generate the `<img>` tag for `public/images/logo.png` and also set the `width`, `height` and `alt` attributes automatically for you (based on image dimensions and the image file name). Wheels will also cache this information for later use in your application.
-
-If you need to override the `alt` attribute for better accessibility, you can still do that too:
-
-```javascript
-#imageTag(source="logo.png", alt="ColdFusion on Wheels")#
-```
-
-#### Text Helpers
-
-To illustrate what the text helpers can help you with, let's see a piece of code that includes 2 of the text helpers in a simple search results page.
-
-```javascript
-<!--- Query of search results --->
-<cfparam name="searchResults" type="query">
-
-<!--- Search query provided by user --->
-<cfparam name="params.q" type="string">
-
-<cfoutput>
-    <p>
-       #highlight(text="Your search for #params.q#", phrases=params.q)#
-       returned #searchResults.RecordCount#
-       #pluralize(word="result", count=searchResults.RecordCount)#.
-    </p>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-That code will highlight all occurrences of `params.q` and will pluralize the word "result" to "results" if the number of records in `searchResults` is greater than 1. How about them apples? No `<cfif>` statements, no extra lines, no nothing.
-
-The functions we have shown in this chapter are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to helper functions. There's plenty more, so don't forget to check out the View Helper Functions API.

-title: Displaying Links for Pagination
-description: How to create links to other pages in your paginated data in your views.
----
-
-# Displaying Links for Pagination
-
-In the chapter titled [Getting Paginated Data](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/getting-paginated-data), we talked about how to get pages of records from the database (records 11-20, for example). Now we'll show you how to create links to the other pages in your view.
-
-### Displaying Paginated Links with the paginationLinks Function
-
-If you have fetched a paginated query in your controller (normally done using [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) and the page argument), all you have to do to get the page links to show up is this:&#x20;
-
-```javascript
-#paginationLinks()#
-```
-
-Given that you have only fetched one paginated query in your controller, this will output the links for that query using some sensible defaults.
-
-How simple is that?&#x20;
-
-### Arguments Used for Customization
-
-Simple is good, but sometimes you want a little more control over how the links are displayed. You can control the output of the links in a number of different ways. We'll show you the most important ones here. Please refer to the [paginationLinks()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.paginationlinks.html) documentation for all other uses.
-
-**The **_**name**_** Argument**
-
-By default, Wheels will create all links with **page** as the variable that holds the page numbers. So the HTML code will look something like this:
-
-```
-<a href="/main/userlisting?page=1">
-<a href="/main/userlisting?page=2">
-<a href="/main/userlisting?page=3">
-```
-
-To change page to something else, you use the name argument like so:
-
-```
-#paginationLinks(name="pgnum")#
-```
-
-By the way, perhaps you noticed how Wheels chose to use that hideous question mark in the URL, despite the fact that you have URL rewriting turned on? Because [paginationLinks()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.paginationlinks.html) uses [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) in the background, you can easily get rid of it by creating a custom route. You can read more about this in the [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) chapter.
-
-**The **_**windowSize**_** Argument**
-
-This controls how many links to show around the current page. If you are currently displaying page 6 and pass in `windowSize=3`, Wheels will generate links to pages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (three on each side of the current page).
-
-**The **_**alwaysShowAnchors**_** Argument**
-
-If you pass in true here, it means that no matter where you currently are in the pagination or how many page numbers exist in total, links to the first and last page will always be visible.
-
-#### Managing More Than One Paginated Query Per Page
-
-Most of the time, you'll only deal with one paginated query per page. But in those cases where you need to get/show more than one paginated query, you can use the handle argument to tell Wheels which query it is that you are referring to.
-
-This argument has to be passed in to both the `findAll()` function and the `paginationLinks()` function. (You assign a handle name in the `findAll()` function and then request the data for it in `paginationLinks()`.)
-
-Here is an example of using handles:
-
-In the controller...&#x20;
-
-```javascript
-users = model("user").findAll(handle="userQuery", page=params.page, perPage=25);
-blogs = model("blog").findAll(handle="blogQuery", page=params.page, perPage=25);
-```
-
-In the view...
-
-```javascript
-<ul>
-    <cfoutput query="users">
-        <li>#users.name#</li>
-    </cfoutput>
-</ul>
-
-<cfoutput>#paginationLinks(handle="userQuery")#</cfoutput>
-
-<cfoutput query="blogs">
-    #address#<br />
-</cfoutput>
-
-<cfoutput>#paginationLinks(handle="blogQuery")#</cfoutput>
-```
-
-That's all you need to know about showing pagination links to get you started. As always, the best way to learn how the view functions work is to just play around with the arguments and see what HTML is produced.

-title: Form Helpers and Showing Errors
-description: >-
-  Wheels ties your application's forms together with your model layer
-  elegantly. With Wheels form conventions, you'll find yourself spending less
-  time writing repetitive markup.
----
-
-# Form Helpers and Showing Errors
-
-The majority of applications are not all about back-end. There is a great deal of work to perform on the front-end as well. It can be argued that most of your users will think of the interface _as_ the application.
-
-Wheels is here to take you to greener pastures with its form helper functions. Let's get visual with some code examples.
-
-### Simple Example: The Old Way
-
-Here is a simple form for editing a user profile. Normally, you would code your web form similarly to this:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/profiles/edit.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-<form action="/profile" method="post">
-    <div>
-        <label for="firstName">First Name</label>
-        <input id="firstName" name="firstName" value="#EncodeForHtml(profile.firstName)#">
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        <label for="lastName">Last Name</label>
-        <input id="lastName" name="lastName" value="#EncodeForHtml(profile.lastName)#">
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        <label for="department">Department</label>
-        <select id="department" name="departmentId">
-            <cfloop query="departments">
-                <option
-                    value="#EncodeForHtml(departments.id)#"
-                    <cfif profile.departmentId eq departments.id>
-                        selected
-                    </cfif>
-                >#EncodeForHtml(departments.name)#</option>
-            </cfloop>
-        </select>
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        <input type="submit" value="Save Changes">
-    </div>
-</form>
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Then you would write a script for the form that validates the data submitted, handles interactions with the data source(s), and displays the form with errors that may happen as a result of user input. (And most of that code isn't even included in this example.)
-
-We know that you are quite familiar with the drudgery of typing this sort of code over and over again. Let's not even mention the pain associated with debugging it or adding new fields and business logic!
-
-### Making Life Easier: Wheels Form Helpers
-
-The good news is that Wheels simplifies this quite a bit for you. At first, it looks a little different using these conventions. But you'll quickly see how it all ties together and saves you some serious time.
-
-### Rewriting the Form with Wheels Conventions
-
-Let's rewrite and then explain.
-
-{% code title="/app/views/profiles/edit.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-#startFormTag(route="profile", method="patch")#
-    #textField(
-        label="First Name",
-        objectName="profile",
-        property="firstName",
-        prependToLabel="<div>",
-        append="</div>",
-        labelPlacement="before"
-    )#
-
-    #textField(
-        label="Last Name",
-        objectName="profile",
-        property="lastName",
-        prependToLabel="<div>",
-        append="</div>",
-        labelPlacement="before"
-    )#
-
-    #select(
-        label="Department",
-        objectName="profile",
-        property="departmentId",
-        options=departments,
-        prependToLabel="<div>",
-        append="</div>",
-        labelPlacement="before"
-    )#
-
-    <div>
-        #submitTag()#
-    </div>
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-I know what you are thinking. 9 lines of code can't replace all that work, right? In fact, they do. The HTML output will be very nearly the same as the previous example. By using Wheels conventions, you are saving yourself a lot of key strokes and a great deal of time.
-
-### Linking up the Form's Action with startFormTag
-
-The first helper you'll notice in the Wheels-ified version of the form is [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startFormTag.html). This helper allows you to easily link up the form to the action that it's posting to in a secure way.
-
-You'll need to configure the `route` and `method` arguments, depending on the route that you're sending the form to. Also, if the route expects any parameters, you must pass those in as arguments to startFormTag as well. If you haven't already, read up about routes in the [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) chapter.
-
-As we said, when linking a form to a route, there are 3 pieces of information that you will need to work with:
-
-1. Route _name_
-2. _Parameters_ that the route may expect
-3. Request _method_ that the route requires
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Use Routes for Form Posts
-
-Wheels's default wildcard `controller/action`-based URLs will not accept form posts for security reasons. This is due to an attack known as [Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/csrf). We strongly recommend configuring [routes](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) to post your forms to.
-{% endhint %}
-
-Most of the time, you'll probably be working with a resource. Your `/config/routes.cfm` may look something like this:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources("users")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-If you click the **Routes** link in the debug footer, you'll be most interested in these types of routes for your forms:
-
-| Name  | Method | Pattern       | Controller | Action |
-| ----- | ------ | ------------- | ---------- | ------ |
-| users | GET    | /users        | users      | index  |
-| users | POST   | /users        | users      | create |
-| user  | PATCH  | /users/\[key] | users      | update |
-| user  | DELETE | /users/\[key] | users      | delete |
-
-Once you get to this list of routes, it really doesn't matter how you authored them in your `/config/routes.cfm`. What matters is that you know the names, methods, and parameters that the routes expect. (With some practice, you'll probably be able to look at `/config/routes.cfm` and know exactly what the names, methods, and parameters are though.)
-
-If you are creating a record, your route is likely setup to accept a `POST` method. That happens to be the default for [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startFormTag.html), so you don't even need to include the `method` argument. You can then pass the `users` route name to the `route` argument:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/users/new.cfm" %}
-```html
-<!--- `method` argument defaults to `post`, so we don't need to pass it in. --->
-#startFormTag(route="users")#
-#endFormTag()
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-If you need to send the form via another HTTP method, you can pass that in for the `method` argument as listed in your routes:
-
-```html
-<!---
-    Search forms typically are done via `get` requests. This one is to
-    the index. --->
-#startFormTag(route="users", method="get")#
-    #textFieldTag(type="search", name="q")#
-    #submitTag("Search")#
-#endFormTag()#
-
-<!--- Update forms typically are sent via `patch` requests. --->
-#startFormTag(route="user", key=user.key(), method="patch")#
-    #textField(objectName="user", property="firstName")#
-    #submitTag()#
-#endFormTag()#
-
-<!---
-    Delete requests are best done via a form post, even if you're styling the
-    form to look like a link.
---->
-#startFormTag(
-    route="user",
-    key=user.key(),
-    method="delete",
-    class="inline-form"
-)#
-    #buttonTag(content="Delete User", class="link-button")#
-#endFormTag()#
-```
-
-Notice above that the `user` route expects a `key` parameter, so that is passed into `startFormTag` as the `key`argument.
-
-To drive the point home about routing parameters, let's say that we have this route:
-
-| Name             | Method | Pattern                                              | Controller | Action |
-| ---------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------ |
-| productVariation | PATCH  | \[language]/products/\[productKey]/variations/\[key] | variations | update |
-
-As you can see, the parameters can be anything, not just primary keys.
-
-You would link up the form like so:
-
-```html
-#startFormTag(
-    route="productVariation",
-    language="es",
-    productKey=product.key(),
-    key=variation.key(),
-    method="patch"
-)#
-    <!--- ... --->
-#endFormTag()
-```
-
-### A Note About PATCH and DELETE Requests
-
-Browsers (even the modern ones) tend to only work well with `GET` and `POST` requests, so how does Wheels also enable `PATCH` and `DELETE` requests?
-
-To keep things secure, Wheels will still use `method="post"` on the form to send `PATCH` and `DELETE` requests. But the Wheels router will recognize a `PATCH` or `DELETE` request if a form variable called `_method` is also sent, specifying the `PATCH` or `DELETE` method.
-
-Under the hood, [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startFormTag.html) will also generate a hidden field called `_method` that passes the request method along with the form `POST`.
-
-So the `<form>` tag generated along with a `method` of `patch` will look something like this:
-
-```html
-<form action="/users/1234" method="post">
-    <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="patch">
-    <input type="hidden" name="authenticityToken" value="cxRbrHAnwpG0Ki9vTYW4yg==">
-</form>
-```
-
-You'll notice that [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startFormTag.html) will also add another hidden field along with `POST`ed requests called `authenticityToken`, which helps prevent against [Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/csrf).
-
-The moral of the story: [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startFormTag.html) takes care of all of this for you. If you for some reason decide to wire up your own custom `<form>` tag that must `POST` data, be sure to add your own hidden fields for `_method` and use the [authenticityTokenField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.authenticityTokenField.html) helper to generate the hidden field for the `authenticityToken` that Wheels will require on the `POST`.
-
-### Refactoring Common Settings with Global Defaults
-
-By setting up global defaults (as explained in the [Configuration and Defaults](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults)) for the `prependToLabel`, `append`, and `labelPlacement` arguments, you can make the form code ever simpler across your whole application.
-
-Here are the settings that you would apply in `/config/settings.cfm`:
-
-{% code title="/config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(
-    functionName="textField",
-    prependToLabel="<div>",
-    append="</div>",
-    labelPlacement="before"
-);
-
-set(
-    functionName="select",
-    prependToLabel="<div>",
-    append="</div>",
-    labelPlacement="before"
-);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-And here's how our example code can be simplified as a result:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/profiles/edit.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-#startFormTag(route="profile", method="patch")#
-    #textField(label="First Name", objectName="profile", property="firstName")#
-    #textField(label="Last Name", objectName="profile", property="lastName")#
-
-    #select(
-        label="Department",
-        objectName="profile",
-        property="departmentId",
-        options=departments
-    )#
-
-    <div>
-        #submitTag()#
-    </div>
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-All that the controller needs to provide at this point is a model object instance named `profile` that contains `firstName`, `lastName`, and `departmentId` properties and a query object named `departments` that contains identifier and text values. Note that the instance variable is named `profile`, though the model itself doesn't necessarily need to be named `profile`.
-
-If you pass the form an empty instance named `profile` (for example, created by [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html), the form will display blank values for all the fields. If you pass it an object created by a finder like [findOne()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findone.html) or [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html), then the form will display the values provided through the object. This allows for us to potentially use the same view file for both create and update scenarios in our application.
-
-### Refactoring Label Names
-
-If you look at the previous examples, there is one other bit of configuration that we can clean up: the `label` arguments passed to [textField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textField.html) and [select()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.select.html).
-
-Because we've named `firstName`, `lastName`, and `departmentId` in conventional ways (camel case), Wheels will generate the labels for us automatically:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/profiles/edit.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-#startFormTag(route="profile", method="patch")#
-    #textField(objectName="profile", property="firstName")#
-    #textField(objectName="profile", property="lastName")#
-
-    #select(
-        objectName="profile",
-        property="departmentId",
-        options=departments
-    )#
-
-    <div>
-        #submitTag()#
-    </div>
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-You'll notice that Wheels is even smart enough to translate the `departmentId` property to `Department`.
-
-If you ever need to override a label, you can do so in the model's initializer using the `label` argument of the [property()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.property.html)method:
-
-{% code title="/app/models/User.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function init() {
-        property(name="lastName", label="Surname");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Form Error Messages
-
-If you really want to secure a form, you need to do it server side. Sure, you can add JavaScript here and there to validate your web form. Unfortunately, disabling JavaScript (and thus your JavaScript-powered form validation) is simple in web browsers, and malicious bots tend not to listen to JavaScript.
-
-Securing the integrity of your web forms in Wheels on the server side is very easy. Assuming that you have read the chapter on [Object Validation](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/object-validation), you can rest assured that your code is a lot more secure now.
-
-### Displaying a List of Model Validation Errors
-
-Wheels provides you with a tool set of Helper Functions just for displaying error messages as well.
-
-In the controller, let's say that this just happened. Your model includes validations that require the presence of both `firstName` and `lastName`. The user didn't enter either. So in the controller's `update` action, it loads the model object, sets the values that the user submitted, sees that there was a validation error after calling [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html), and displays the form view again.
-
-The `update` action may look something like this:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Profiles.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function update() {
-    // In this example, we're loading an existing object based on the user's
-    // session.
-    profile = model("user").findByKey(session.userId);
-
-    // If everything validated, then send user to success message
-    if (profile.update(params.profile)) {
-        flashInsert(success="Profile updated.");
-    }
-    // If there were errors with the form submission, show the form again
-    // with errors.
-    else {
-        flashInsert(error="There was an error with your changes.");
-        renderView(action="edit");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Notice that the view for the `edit` action is rendered if the `profile` object's [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html) returns `false`.
-
-Let's take the previous form example and add some visual indication to the user about what he did wrong and where, by simply adding the following code on your form page.
-
-{% code title="/app/views/profiles/edit.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-#errorMessagesFor("profile")#
-
-#startFormTag(route="profile", method="patch")#
-    #textField(objectName="profile", property="firstName")#
-    #textField(objectName="profile", property="lastName")#
-
-    #select(
-        objectName="department",
-        property="departmentId",
-        options=departments
-    )#
-
-    <div>
-        #submitTag()#
-    </div>
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-How about that? With just that line of code (and the required validations on your object model), Wheels will do the following:
-
-* Generate an HTML unordered list with a HTML class name of `errorMessages`.
-* Display all the error messages on your `profile` object as list items in that unordered list.
-* Wrap each of the erroneous fields in your form with a surrounding `<div class="fieldWithErrors">` HTML tag for you to enrich with your ninja CSS skills.
-
-There is no longer the need to manually code error logic in your form markup.
-
-### Showing Individual Fields' Error Messages
-
-Let's say that would rather display the error messages just below the failed fields (or anywhere else, for that matter). Wheels has that covered too. All that it takes is a simple line of code for each form field that could end up displaying feedback to the user.
-
-Let's add some error message handlers for the `firstName`, `lastName`, and `departmentId` fields:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/profiles/edit.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-#startFormTag(route="profile", method="patch")#
-    #textField(objectName="profile", property="firstName")#
-    #errorMessageOn(objectName="profile", property="firstName")#
-
-    #textField(objectName="profile", property="lastName")#
-    #errorMessageOn(objectName="profile", property="lastName")#
-
-    #select(
-        objectName="profile",
-        property="departmentId",
-        options=departments
-    )#
-    #errorMessageOn(objectName="profile", property="departmentId")#
-
-    <div>
-        #submitTag()#
-    </div>
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Notice the call to the [errorMessageOn()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.errormessageon.html) function below the `firstName`, `lastName`, and `departmentId` fields. That's all it takes to display the corresponding error messages of each form control on your form.
-
-And the error messages won't even display if there aren't any. That way you can yet again use the same form code for error and non-error scenarios alike.
-
-### Types of Form Helpers
-
-There is a Wheels form helper for basically every type of form element available in HTML. And they all have the ability to be bound to Wheels model instances to make displaying values and errors easier. Here is a brief description of each helper.
-
-### Text, Password, and TextArea Fields
-
-Text and password fields work similarly to each other. They allow you to show labels and bind to model object instances to determine whether or not a value should be pre-populated.
-
-```html
-#textField(objectName="user", property="username")#
-#passwordField(objectName="user", property="password")#
-#textArea(objectName="user", property="biography", rows=5, cols=40)#
-```
-
-May yield the equivalent to this HTML (if we assume the global defaults defined above in the section named _Factoring out Common Settings with Global Defaults_):
-
-```html
-<div>
-    <label for="user-username">Username</label>
-    <input id="user-username" type="text" name="user[username]" value="cfguy">
-</div>
-<div>
-    <label for="user-password">Password</label>
-    <input id="user-password" type="password" name="user[password]" value="">
-</div>
-<div>
-    <label for="user-biography">Bio</label>
-    <textarea id="user-biography" name="user[biography]">
-        CF Guy really is a great guy. He's much nicer than .NET guy.
-    </textarea>
-</div>
-```
-
-### Hidden Fields
-
-Hidden fields are powered by the [hiddenField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.hiddenfield.html) form helper, and it also works similarly to [textField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textfield.html) and [passwordField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.passwordfield.html).
-
-```html
-#hiddenField(objectName="user", property="referralSourceId")#
-```
-
-Would yield this type of markup:
-
-```html
-<input type="hidden" name="user[referralSourceId]" value="425">
-```
-
-### Select Fields
-
-As hinted in our first example of form helpers, the [select()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.select.html) function builds a `<select>` list with options. What's really cool about this helper is that it can populate the `<option>`s with values from a query, struct, or array.
-
-Take a look at this line:
-
-```html
-#select(objectName="user", property="departmentId", options=departments)#
-```
-
-Assume that the `departments` variable passed to the options argument contains a query, struct, or array of department data that should be selectable in the drop-down.
-
-Each data type has its advantages and disadvantages:
-
-* **Queries** allow you to order your results, but you can only use one column. But this can be overcome using [Calculated Properties](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/calculated-properties).
-* **Structs** allow you to build out static or dynamic values using whatever data that you please, but there is no guarantee that your CFML engine will honor the order in which you add the elements.
-* **Arrays** also allow you to build out static or dynamic values, and there is a guarantee that your CFML engine will honor the order. But arrays are a tad more verbose to work with.
-
-Wheels will examine the data passed to `options` and intelligently pick out elements to populate for the `<option>`s' values and text.
-
-* **Query**: Wheels will try to pick out the first numeric column for `value` and the first non-numeric column for the display text. The order of the columns is determined how you have them defined in your database.
-* **Struct**: Wheels will use the keys as the `value` and the values as the display text.
-* **Array**: Wheels will react depending on how many dimensions there are. If it's only a single dimension, it will populate both the `value` and display text with the elements. When it's a 2D array, Wheels will use each item's first element as the `value` and each element's second element as the display text. For anything larger than 2 dimensions, Wheels only uses the first 2 sub-elements and ignores the rest.
-
-Here's an example of how you might use each option:
-
-```javascript
-// Query generated in your controller --->
-departments = findAll(orderBy="name");
-
-// Hard-coded struct set up in /app/events/onapplicationstart.cfm
-application.departments["1"] = "Sales";
-application.departments["2"] = "Marketing";
-application.departments["3"] = "Information Technology";
-application.departments["4"] = "Human Resources";
-
-// Array built from query call in model
-departments = this.findAll(orderBy="lastName,hq");
-
-departmentsArray = [];
-
-for (department in departments) {
-    ArrayAppend(
-        departmentsArray,
-        [department.id, "#department.name# - #department.hq#"]
-    );
-}
-```
-
-When sending a query, if you need to populate your `<option>`s' values and display text with specific columns, you should pass the names of the columns to use as the `textField` and `valueField` arguments.
-
-You can also include a blank option by passing true or the desired text to the `includeBlank` argument.
-
-Here's a full usage with this new knowledge:
-
-```html
-#select(
-    objectName="user",
-    property="departmentId",
-    options=departments,
-    valueField="id",
-    textField="departmentName",
-    includeBlank="Select a Department"
-)#
-```
-
-#### Multiple Select Fields
-
-The [select()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.select.html) function also supports multiple selections by passing `multiple=true`. This creates a multi-select box that allows users to select more than one option:
-
-```html
-#select(
-    objectName="user",
-    property="roleIds",
-    options=roles,
-    valueField="id",
-    textField="roleName",
-    multiple=true
-)#
-```
-
-When using `multiple=true`, the property should be able to handle multiple values (typically an array or a list). The rendered HTML will include the `multiple="multiple"` attribute on the `<select>` element, allowing users to select multiple options by holding down Ctrl (Windows/Linux) or Cmd (Mac) while clicking.
-
-### Radio Buttons
-
-Radio buttons via [radioButton()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.radiobutton.html) also take `objectName` and `property` values, and they accept an argument called `tagValue` that determines what value should be passed based on what the user selects.
-
-Here is an example using a query object called `eyeColor` to power the possible values:
-
-```html
-<fieldset>
-    <legend>Eye Color</legend>
-
-    <cfloop query="eyeColor">
-        #radioButton(
-            label=eyeColor.color,
-            objectName="profile",
-            property="eyeColorId",
-            tagValue=eyeColor.id,
-            labelPlacement="after"
-        )#<br>
-    </cfloop>
-</fieldset>
-```
-
-If the `profile` object already has a value set for `eyeColorId`, then [radioButton()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.radiobutton.html) will make sure that that value is checked on page load.
-
-If `profile.eyeColorId`'s value were already set to `1`, the rendered HTML would appear similar to this:
-
-```html
-<fieldset>
-    <legend>Eye Color</legend>
-
-    <input
-        type="radio"
-        id="profile-eyeColorId-2"
-        name="profile[eyeColorId]"
-        value="2"
-    >
-    <label for="profile-eyeColorId-2">Blue</label><br>
-
-    <input
-        type="radio"
-        id="profile-eyeColorId-1"
-        name="profile[eyeColorId]"
-        value="1"
-        checked="checked"
-    >
-    <label for="profile-eyeColorId-1">Brown</label><br>
-
-    <input
-        type="radio"
-        id="profile-eyeColorId-3"
-        name="profile[eyeColorId]"
-        value="3"
-    >
-    <label for="profile-eyeColorId-3">Hazel</label><br>
-</fieldset>
-```
-
-Note that if you don't specify `labelPlacement="after"` in your calls to [radioButton()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.radiobutton.html), Wheels will place the labels before the form controls.
-
-### Check Boxes
-
-Check boxes work similarly to radio buttons, except [checkBox()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.checkbox.html) takes parameters called `checkedValue` and `uncheckedValue` to determine whether or not the check box should be checked on load.
-
-Note that binding check boxes to model objects is best suited for properties in your object that have a `yes/no` or `true/false` type value.
-
-```html
-#checkBox(
-    label="Sign me up for the email newsletter.",
-    objectName="customer",
-    property="newsletterSubscription",
-    labelPlacement="after"
-)#
-```
-
-Because the concept of check boxes don't tie too well to models (you can select several for the same "property"), we recommend using [checkBoxTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.checkboxtag.html) instead if you want to use check boxes for more values than just true/false. See the _Helpers That Aren't Bound to Model Objects_ section below.
-
-### File Fields
-
-The [fileField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.filefield.html) helper builds a file field form control based on the supplied `objectName` and `property`.
-
-```html
-#fileField(label="Photo", objectName="profile", property="photo")#
-```
-
-In order for your form to pass the correct `enctype`, you can pass `multipart=true` to [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startformtag.html):
-
-```html
-#startFormTag(route="attachments", multipart=true)#
-```
-
-### Setting a Default Value on an Object-bound Field
-
-Looking at this form code, it isn't 100% evident how to set an initial value for the fields:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/accounts/new.cfm" %}
-```html
-#startFormTag(route="accounts")#
-    #textField(objectName="account", property="title")#
-    #select(objectName="account", property="accountTypeId")#
-    #checkBox(objectName="account", property="subscribedToNewsletter")#
-#endFormTag()#
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-What if we want a random title pre-filled, a certain account type pre-selected, and the check box automatically checked when the form first loads?
-
-The answer lies in the `account` object that the fields are bound to. Let's say that you always wanted this behavior to happen when the form for a new account loads. You can do something like this in the controller:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Accounts.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="controllers.Controller" {
-    function new() {
-        local.defaultAccountType = model("accountType").findOne(
-          where="isDefault=1"
-        );
-
-        account = model("account").new(
-            title=generateRandomTitle(),
-            accountTypeId=local.defaultAccountType.key(),
-            subscribedToNewsletter=true
-        );
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Now the initial state of the form will reflect the default values setup on the object in the controller.
-
-### Helpers That Aren't Bound to Model Objects
-
-Sometimes you'll want to output a form element that isn't bound to a model object.
-
-A search form that passes the user's query as a variable in the URL called `q` is a good example. In this example case, you would use the [textFieldTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textfieldtag.html) function to produce the `<input>` tag needed.
-
-```html
-#textFieldTag(label="Search", name="q", value=params.q)#
-```
-
-There are "tag" versions of all of the form helpers that we've listed in this chapter. As a rule of thumb, add `Tag` to the end of the function name and use the `name` and `value`, `checked`, and `selected` arguments instead of the `objectName` and `property` arguments that you normally use.
-
-Here is a list of the "tag" helpers for your reference:
-
-* [checkBoxTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.checkboxtag.html)
-* [hiddenFieldTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.hiddenfieldtag.html)
-* [passwordFieldTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.passwordfieldtag.html)
-* [radioButtonTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.radiobuttontag.html)
-* [selectTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.selecttag.html)
-* [textAreaTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textareatag.html)
-* [textFieldTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textfieldtag.html)
-
-### Passing Extra Arguments for HTML Attributes
-
-Much like Wheels's [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) function, any extra arguments that you pass to form helpers will be passed to the corresponding HTML tag as attributes.
-
-For example, if we wanted to define a `class` on our starting form tag, we just pass that as an extra argument to [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startformtag.html):
-
-```html
-#startFormTag(route="posts", class="login-form")#
-```
-
-Which would produce this HTML:
-
-```html
-<form action="/posts" method="post" class="login-form">
-```
-
-When a form helper creates more than one HTML element you can typically pass in extra arguments to be set on that element as well. One common example of this is when you need to set a `class` for a `label` element; you can do so by passing in `labelClass="class-name"`. Wheels will detect that your argument starts with "label" and assume it should go on the `label` element and not the `input` element (or whatever "main" element the form helper creates). This means you could also pass in `labelId="my-id"` to set the `id` on the `label` for example.
-
-### Boolean Attributes
-
-HTML includes many boolean attributes like `novalidate`, `disabled`, `required`, etc.
-
-If you want for a Wheels view helper to render one of these attributes, just pass the name of the attribute as an extra argument, set it to `true`, and Wheels will include the boolean attribute:
-
-```html
-#textField(objectName="post", property="title", required=true)#
--> <input type="text" name="post[title]" value="" required>
-```
-
-### HTML5 data Attributes
-
-`data` attributes in HTML usually look something like this:
-
-```html
-<input type="submit" value="Submit" data-ajax-url="/contacts/send.js">
-```
-
-Because ColdFusion arguments cannot contain any hyphens, we have constructed a workaround for you for Wheels view helpers.
-
-Let's say you want a `data-ajax-url` HTML attribute as depicted above. All you need to do is pass in an argument named `dataAjaxUrl`, and Wheels will convert that attribute name to the hyphenated version in the HTML output.
-
-```html
-#submitTag(
-    value="Submit",
-    dataAjaxUrl=urlFor(route="contactsSend", format="js")
-)#
--> <input type="submit" value="Submit" data-ajax-url="/contacts/send.js">
-```
-
-As an alternative, you can pass in `data_ajax_url` instead if you prefer underscores, and it will produce the same result.
-
-### HTML5 Form Helpers
-
-Wheels provides dedicated helpers for HTML5 input types. These generate the correct `type` attribute, which enables browser-native validation, mobile-optimized keyboards, and date/color pickers without any JavaScript.
-
-#### Object-Bound HTML5 Helpers
-
-These work exactly like `textField()` — pass `objectName` and `property` to bind to a model:
-
-```html
-<!--- Email: triggers email keyboard on mobile, browser validates format --->
-#emailField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email Address")#
-
-<!--- URL: triggers URL keyboard on mobile --->
-#urlField(objectName="user", property="website", label="Website")#
-
-<!--- Number: spinner with min/max/step constraints --->
-#numberField(objectName="product", property="quantity", label="Quantity", min="1", max="100", step="1")#
-
-<!--- Telephone: triggers phone keyboard on mobile --->
-#telField(objectName="user", property="phone", label="Phone Number")#
-
-<!--- Date: native date picker (YYYY-MM-DD format) --->
-#dateField(objectName="event", property="startDate", label="Start Date", min="2020-01-01")#
-
-<!--- Color: native color picker --->
-#colorField(objectName="theme", property="primaryColor", label="Theme Color")#
-
-<!--- Range: slider control --->
-#rangeField(objectName="settings", property="volume", label="Volume", min="0", max="100")#
-
-<!--- Search: may show clearable X button in some browsers --->
-#searchField(objectName="search", property="query", label="Search")#
-```
-
-#### Tag-Based HTML5 Helpers
-
-Every object-bound helper has a tag-based counterpart with a `Tag` suffix. These use `name` and `value` instead of `objectName` and `property`:
-
-```html
-#emailFieldTag(name="email", value="", placeholder="you@example.com")#
-#urlFieldTag(name="website", value="")#
-#numberFieldTag(name="quantity", value="1", min="0", max="99", step="1")#
-#telFieldTag(name="phone", value="")#
-#dateFieldTag(name="startDate", value="", min="2020-01-01")#
-#colorFieldTag(name="color", value="##336699")#
-#rangeFieldTag(name="rating", value="5", min="1", max="10")#
-#searchFieldTag(name="q", value="", placeholder="Search...")#
-```
-
-#### Complete HTML5 Helper Reference
-
-| Object-Bound Helper | Tag Helper | HTML Input Type | Extra Attributes |
-|---------------------|------------|----------------|-----------------|
-| `emailField()` | `emailFieldTag()` | `email` | — |
-| `urlField()` | `urlFieldTag()` | `url` | — |
-| `numberField()` | `numberFieldTag()` | `number` | `min`, `max`, `step` |
-| `telField()` | `telFieldTag()` | `tel` | — |
-| `dateField()` | `dateFieldTag()` | `date` | `min`, `max` |
-| `colorField()` | `colorFieldTag()` | `color` | — |
-| `rangeField()` | `rangeFieldTag()` | `range` | `min`, `max`, `step` |
-| `searchField()` | `searchFieldTag()` | `search` | — |
-
-All HTML5 helpers accept the same common parameters as other form helpers (`label`, `labelPlacement`, `prepend`, `append`, `class`, `id`, `placeholder`, `required`, etc.).
-
-### Special Form Helpers
-
-Wheels provides a few extra form helpers that make it easier for you to generate accessible fields for dates and/or times. These also bind to properties that are of type `DATE, TIMESTAMP, DATETIME`, etc.
-
-We won't go over these in detail, but here is a list of the date and time form helpers available:
-
-* [dateSelect()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.dateselect.html)
-* [dateSelectTags()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.dateselecttags.html)

-title: Layouts
-description: >-
-  Wheels allows you to create layouts so that you don't need to header and
-  footer code on every single view template.
----
-
-# Layouts
-
-### Introduction
-
-As a red-blooded CFML developer, you're used to creating include files like `header.cfm` and `footer.cfm`, and then using `<cfinclude>` on every single page to include them. The popular way to do it looks something like this:
-
-```html
-<cfinclude template="/includes/header.cfm">
-
-<p>Some page content</p>
-
-<cfinclude template="/includes/footer.cfm">
-```
-
-Does that mean that you should `<cfinclude>` your headers and footers in every view in your Wheels app? Heck no! If the structure of your pages ever changed, you would need to edit _every single page_ on your site to make the fix.
-
-Layouts to the rescue!
-
-### Implementing a Layout
-
-In your Wheels installation, layout files are stored either directly in the `/app/views` folder or contained in one of the controllers' view folders. Let's go over how layouts work, starting with the simplest way and then moving on to more complex setups.
-
-Let's say that you want to define one layout to be used by every view in your application. You would accomplish this by editing the _default layout_. The default layout is the `/app/views/layout.cfm` file. In a fresh install of Wheels, you'll notice that it only contains a few lines of code:
-
-```html
-<html>
-    <body>
-        <cfoutput>#includeContent()#</cfoutput>
-    </body>
-</html>
-```
-
-The call to [includeContent()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includecontent.html) represents the output of your page generated by your view files. Whatever code you put before this snippet will be run before the view. Similarly, whatever code you put after the snippet will be run afterward
-
-### Simple Example
-
-For most purposes, this means that you could write code for your page header before the snippet, and write code for the footer after. Here is a simple example of wrapping your view's content with a header and footer.
-
-```html
-<html>
-<head>
-<title><cfoutput>#title#</cfoutput></title>
-</head>
-
-<body>
-
-<div id="container">
-    <div id="navigation">
-        <ul>
-            <cfoutput>
-            <li>#linkTo(text="Home", route="main")#</li>
-            <li>#linkTo(text="About Us", route="about")#</li>
-            <li>#linkTo(text="Contact Us", route="contact")#</li>
-            </cfoutput>
-        </ul>
-    </div>
-    <div id="content">
-        <cfoutput>#includeContent()#</cfoutput>
-    </div>
-</div>
-
-</body>
-</html>
-```
-
-As you can see, we just wrote code that wraps every view's content with the layout. Pretty cool, huh?
-
-### Use of Variables in the Layout
-
-Just like views in Wheels, any variable declared by your application's controller can be used within your layouts. In addition to that, any variables that you set in view templates are accessible to the layouts as well.
-
-Notice in the above code example that there is a variable called `title` being output in between the `<title>` tags. This would require that any controller or view using this particular layout would need to set a variable named `title`.
-
-To help document this, you can use `<cfparam>` tags at the top of your layout files. That way any developer using your layout in the future could easily see which variables need to be set by the controller.
-
-Here's an example:
-
-```
-<!--- Title is required --->
-<cfparam name="title" type="string">
-
-<cfoutput>
-
-<html>
-<head>
-<title>#title#</title>
-</head>
-
-<body>
-
-<!--- View's Content --->
-<h1>#title#</h1>
-#contentForLayout()#
-
-</body>
-</html>
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-There's also a different way to set variables that goes hand in hand with the [includeContent()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includecontent.html) function that you may prefer. It's the [contentFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.contentfor.html) function. We'll dig into how that one works later in this chapter.
-
-### The Default Layout
-
-One layout file that is already created for you is `/app/views/layout.cfm`. Think of it as the default layout to be used by any given controller.
-
-If you're writing code for a controller called `press` and there is no layout created for `press`, Wheels will automatically use `/app/views/layout.cfm` as the layout.
-
-If you implement a layout for the `press` controller, then that layout will be used instead of the default layout.
-
-So, how exactly do you implement a layout meant specifically for just one controller? Well, that's next...
-
-### Overriding the Default Layout with a Controller-Specific Layout
-
-Let's pretend that you want to create a layout to be used only in a controller called `blog`. To do this, you would simply create the layout and save it as `/app/views/blog/layout.cfm`.
-
-As you can see, the convention is to place your layout file together with the other view files for the controller.
-
-### Overriding the Default Layout Using the usesLayout() Function
-
-However, if you need to override the name of the layout file or its location in the folder structure, you can specify what layout file to use with the [usesLayout()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.useslayout.html) function in the controller's init function instead.
-
-```javascript
-function config(){
-  usesLayout("blogLayoutOne");
-}
-```
-
-With that code placed in the `/app/controllers/Blog.cfc` file, all actions will now wrap their contents with the `bloglayoutone.cfm` file instead of the `layout.cfm` file.
-
-The [usesLayout()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.useslayout.html) function also accepts `except, only`, and `useDefault` arguments for further customization.
-
-```javascript
-function config(){
-  usesLayout("blogLayoutOne", except="home");
-}
-```
-
-That code tells Wheels to apply the `blogLayoutOne` layout for any actions in this controller except for the `home`action. In the case of the `home` action, it will fall back to the default behavior (i.e. using the `/app/views/blog/layout.cfm`file).
-
-If for some reason you do not want the default behavior to be used when conditions aren't met, you can set the `useDefault` argument to `false`.
-
-```javascript
-function config(){
-  usesLayout(name="blogLayoutOne", except="home", useDefault=false);
-}
-```
-
-You can even instruct Wheels to run a specific function that will determine the layout handling.
-
-```javascript
-function config(){
-  usesLayout("resolveLayout");
-}
-
-function resolveLayout(){
-    switch(chapter){
-      case "index":
-        return "index_layout";
-      case "show":
-        return "show_layout";
-  }
-}
-```
-
-It's worth repeating here that everything inside the controller's `config()` function runs only once per application and controller. This is why you can't perform the logic that decides which layout to use directly inside the `config()`function itself. Instead, you tell Wheels to always run the `resolveLayout` function on each incoming request.
-
-### Overriding the Default Layout at the Action Level
-
-Another option for overriding layouts is to use the layout argument of the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function.
-
-As you may already know, Wheels's [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function is the last thing called in your actions. This function is run automatically by Wheels, so most of the time, you won't need to call it explicitly in your code.
-
-Take a look at this example action, called display:
-
-```javascript
-function display(){
-  renderView(layout="visitorLayout");
-}
-```
-
-This assumes that you want for your action to use the layout stored at `/app/views/blog/visitorlayout.cfm`.
-
-The default behavior for the `layout` argument is to look for the file in the _current_ controller's view folder, so here we're still assuming that the `display` action is in the `blog` controller. The `.cfm` extension will also be added automatically by Wheels, so you don't need to specifically include that part.
-
-If you want Wheels to locate the file in a different folder, you can start the `layout` argument with a forward slash, `/`. By doing this, Wheels will know you want to start the search in the `/app/views` folder. Let's say that you're storing all miscellaneous layouts in its own folder, simply called `layouts`. You would display one of them with the following code:
-
-```javascript
-function display(){
-  renderView(layout="/layouts/plain");
-}
-```
-
-Note that setting the `layout` argument on [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) will override any settings you may have made with the [usesLayout()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.useslayout.html) function. This gives you finer-grained control.
-
-### Using No Layout
-
-If you don't want for a given template to be wrapped by a layout at all, you may want to consider creating the page as a _partial_. See the chapter about [Partials](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/partials) for more information.
-
-Another alternative is to use the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function and set the `layout` argument to `false`.
-
-You can also create a separate layout that only contains the call to the [includeContent()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includecontent.html) function in it and reference it as described above in _Using a Different Layout_. This may end up a little ugly though if you start getting a lot of small identical files like this, but the option is there for you at least.
-
-Lastly, if your view needs to return XML code or other data for JavaScript calls, then you should reference the [renderNothing()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.rendernothing.html) and [renderText()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.rendertext.html) functions to see which would be best used by your action.
-
-### Nested/Inherited Layouts
-
-Like many templating languages, Wheels offers the ability to create layout files that can be "inherited" by other layout files. The end goal is to create a "parent" layout that has missing sections intended to be filled in by "child" layouts.
-
-Wheels's approach involves the use of [includeLayout()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includelayout.html) and the [contentFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.contentfor.html) function that we mentioned briefly earlier in this chapter.
-
-The [includeLayout()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includelayout.html) function simply includes another layout file. The common usage for this is to include a parent layout from a child layout.
-
-So what about the [contentFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.contentfor.html) function? Well, as you may recall the code in the default layout file in Wheels contains this:
-
-```html
-<cfoutput>#includeContent()#</cfoutput>
-```
-
-The [includeContent()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includecontent.html) function accepts a `name` argument. The reason we don't have to use it above is because it defaults to `body`. This `body` variable has been set internally in the Wheels framework code with the use of the [contentFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.contentfor.html) function.
-
-The point I'm trying to make here is that we can use this same functionality to set _any_ type of content for, as an example, sections in our layout files. So, armed with this new knowledge, let's create some nested layout awesomeness.
-
-Say we have a global layout and want to fill out content in it from controller specific layouts, here's how we can do it.
-
-The child layout:
-
-```javascript
-contentFor(pageTitle="My custom title");
-
-<cfoutput>#includeLayout("layout")#</cfoutput>
-```
-
-Note: If your parent file is one of the default ones named `layout.cfm` you can actually remove the "layout" string above since the default for [includeLayout()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includelayout.html) is `layout` anyway. We're just including it here for completeness and to show that you can of course achieve this regardless of what your parent layout file is named.
-
-The parent layout:
-
-```html
-<html>
-    <head>
-        <title><cfoutput>#includeContent("pageTitle")#</cfoutput></title>
-    </head>
-    <body>
-        <cfoutput>#includeContent("body")#</cfoutput>
-    </body>
-</html>
-```
-
-Similar to above, you can remove "`body`" because that is the default on the [includeContent()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includecontent.html) function.
-
-That was a fairly basic example of how you can achieve nested layouts in Wheels to DRY up your code. You can of course expand on this by having entire sections of HTML (like a sub menu for example) be created by the child layouts. Also, as a reminder, don't forget that you can use [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) from inside your layout files as well to further keep things DRY.
-
-### Layouts for Emails and Partials
-
-Besides having layouts for view pages in Wheels, you can also have them on emails that you send out and partial files that you include. We have chosen to speak about these in their respective chapters though: [Sending Email](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/sending-email) and [Partials](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/partials).

-title: Linking Pages
-description: >-
-  Wheels does some magic to help you link to other pages within your app. Read
-  on to learn why you'll rarely use an <a> tag ever again.
----
-
-# Linking Pages
-
-Wheels's built-in [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) function does all of the heavy lifting involved with linking the different pages of your application together. You'll generally be using [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) within your view code.
-
-As you'll soon realize, the [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) function accepts a whole bunch of arguments. We won't go over all of them here, so don't forget to have a look at the [documentation](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) for the complete details.
-
-### Default Wildcard Linking
-
-When installing Wheels, if you open the file at `/config/routes.cfm`, you'll see something like this:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .wildcard()
-    .root(method = "get")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The call to [wildcard()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.wildcard.html) allows a simple linking structure where we can use the [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) helper to link to a combination of controller and action.
-
-For example, if we had a `widgets` controller with a `new` action, we could link to it like this:
-
-```html
-#linkTo(text="New Widget", controller="widgets", action="new")#
-```
-
-That would generally produce this HTML markup:
-
-```html
-<a href="/widgets/new">New Widget</a>
-```
-
-### Linking to Routes
-
-If you're developing a non-trivial Wheels application, you'll quickly grow out of the wildcard-based routing. You'll likely need to link to URLs containing primary keys, URL-friendly slugged titles, and nested subfolders. Now would be a good time to take a deep dive into the [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) chapter and learn the concepts.
-
-When you're using [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) to create links to routes, you need to pay attention to 2 pieces of information: the route _name_ and any _parameters_ that the route requires.
-
-Let's work with a set of sample routes to practice creating links:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .get(name="newWidget", pattern="widgets/new", to="widgets##new")
-    .get(name="widget", pattern="widgets/[key]", to="widgets##show")
-    .get(name="widgets", to="widgets##index")
-    .root(to="wheels##wheels")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-With this in place, we can load the webroot of our application and click the "Routes" link in the debugging footer to get a list of our routes. You'll see information presented similarly to this:
-
-| Name      | Method | Pattern         | Controller | Action |
-| --------- | ------ | --------------- | ---------- | ------ |
-| newWidget | GET    | /widgets/new    | widgets    | new    |
-| widget    | GET    | /widgets/\[key] | widgets    | show   |
-| widgets   | GET    | /widgets        | widgets    | index  |
-
-(As you become more experienced, you'll be able look at `routes.cfm` and understand what the names and parameters are. Of course, this _Routes_ functionality is a great tool too.)
-
-If we want to link to the routes named `newWidget` and `widgets`, it's fairly simple:
-
-```html
-#linkTo(text="All Widgets", route="widgets")#
-#linkTo(text="New Widget", route="newWidget")#
-```
-
-As you can see, you create links by calling a method with the route name passed into the `route` argument. That will generate these links:
-
-```html
-<a href="/widgets">All Widgets</a>
-<a href="/widgets/new">New Widget</a>
-```
-
-The `widget` route requires an extra step because it has that `[key]` parameter in its pattern. You can pass that parameter into `linkTo` as a named argument:
-
-```html
-#linkTo(text="The Fifth Widget", route="widget", key=5)#
-```
-
-That will produce this markup:
-
-```html
-<a href="/widgets/5">The Fifth Widget</a>
-```
-
-If you have a route with multiple parameters, you must pass all of the placeholders as arguments:
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```html
-<!--- /config/routes.cfm --->
-<cfscript>
-mapper()
-    .get(
-        name="widgetVariation",
-        pattern="widgets/[widgetKey]/variations/[key].[format]",
-        to="widgetVariations##show"
-    )
-.end();
-</cfscript>
-
-<!--- View file --->
-<cfoutput>
-#linkTo(
-    text="A fine variation (PDF)",
-    route="widgetVariation",
-    widgetKey=5,
-    key=20,
-    format="pdf"
-)#
-</cfoutput>
-
-<!--- HTML generated --->
-<a href="/widgets/5/variations/20.pdf">A fine variation (PDF)</a>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Linking to Resources
-
-Resources are the encouraged routing pattern in Wheels, and you will likely find yourself using this type of route most often.
-
-Once you setup a resource in `/config/routes.cfm`, the key is to inspect the routes generated and get a feel for the names and parameters that are expected.
-
-Consider this sample `posts` resource:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources("posts")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-We would see these linkable routes generated related to the posts. (See the chapter on [Form Helpers and Showing Errors](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/form-helpers-and-showing-errors) for information about posting forms to the rest of the routes.)
-
-| Name     | Method | Pattern            | Controller | Action |
-| -------- | ------ | ------------------ | ---------- | ------ |
-| posts    | GET    | /posts             | posts      | index  |
-| newPost  | GET    | /posts/new         | posts      | new    |
-| editPost | GET    | /posts/\[key]/edit | posts      | edit   |
-| post     | GET    | /posts/\[key]      | posts      | show   |
-
-If we wanted to link to the various pages within that resource, we may write something like this on the index:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/posts/index.cfm" %}
-```html
-<nav class="global-nav">
-    #linkTo(text="All Posts", route="posts")#
-</nav>
-
-<h1>Posts</h1>
-<p>
-    #linkTo(text="New Post", route="newPost")#
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-    <cfloop query="posts">
-        <li>
-            #linkTo(text=posts.title, route="post", key=posts.id)#
-            [#linkTo(text="Edit", route="editPost", key=posts.id)#]
-        </li>
-    </cfloop>
-</ul>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The above code would generate markup like this:
-
-```html
-<nav class="global-nav">
-    <a href="/posts">All Posts</a>
-</nav>
-
-<h1>Posts</h1>
-<p>
-    <a href="/posts/new">New Post</a>
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-    <li>
-        <a href="/posts/1">Some Title</a>
-        [<a href="/posts/1/edit">Edit</a>]
-    </li>
-</ul>
-```
-
-### A Deep Dive into Linking and Routing
-
-The [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) chapter lists your options for generating URLs that are available in your application. Following is an explanation of how to link to the various types of routes available.
-
-### Namespaces
-
-Namespaces will generally add the namespace name to the beginning of the route.
-
-Consider this namespace:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .namespace("admin")
-        .resources("roles")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-To link to the `roles` resource, you would prefix it with the namespace name:
-
-```html
-#linkTo(text="List Roles", route="adminRoles")#
-
-#linkTo(text=role.title, route="adminRole", key=role.key())#
-```
-
-However, `new` and `edit` routes add the action name to the beginning of the route name:
-
-```html
-#linkTo(text="New Role", route="newAdminRole")#
-#linkTo(text="Edit Role", route="editAdminRole", key=role.key())#
-```
-
-### Nested Resources
-
-You have the ability to nest a resource within a resource like so:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="websites", nested=true)
-        .resources("pages")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-To link to the `pages` resource, you add the parent resource's singular name first (e.g., the parent `website` is added, making the route name `websitePage`):
-
-```html
-<!---
-    Also notice that the parent route's primary key parameter is
-    `websiteKey`:
---->
-#linkTo(text="All Pages", route="websitePages", websiteKey=website.key())#
-
-#linkTo(text="New Page", route="newWebsitePage", websiteKey=website.key())#
-
-<!--- And the child resource's primary key parameter is `key`: --->
-#linkTo(
-    text="Show Page",
-    route="websitePage",

-    key=page.key()
-)#
-
-#linkTo(
-    text="Edit Page",
-    route="editWebsitePage",
-    websiteKey=website.key(),
-    key=page.key()
-)#
-```
-
-### Linking to a Delete Action
-
-Wheels includes security improvements for actions that change data in your applications (i.e., creating, updating, and deleting database records). Wheels protects these actions by requiring that they happen along with a form `POST` in the browser.
-
-A common UI pattern is to have a link to delete a record, usually in an admin area. Unfortunately, links can only trigger `GET` requests, so we need to work around this.
-
-To link to a delete request's required `DELETE` method, we need to code the link up as a simple form with submit button:
-
-```html
-#buttonTo(
-    text="Delete",
-    route="category",
-    key=category.key(),
-    method="delete",
-    inputClass="button-as-link"
-)#
-```
-
-The [buttonTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.buttonto.html) helper generates a form with submit button. As you can see from the example, you can style the submit button itself by prepending any arguments with `input` (e.g., `inputClass`).
-
-Then it is up to you to style the form and submit button to look like a link or button using CSS (using whatever `class`es that you prefer in your markup, of course).
-
-If you need even more control, you can code up your own [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startformtag.html) with whatever markup that you like. Just be sure to pass `method="delete"` to the call to `startFormTag`.
-
-By the way, this will work with any request method that you please: `post`, `patch`, and `put` as well as `delete`.
-
-### Extreme Example
-
-If we were to use all of the parameters for [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html), our code may look something like this:
-
-```html
-#linkTo(
-    text='<i class="rock-fist"></i> Wheels Rocks!',
-    route="wheelsRocks",
-    key=55,
-    params="rocks=yes&referral=wheels.dev",
-    anchor="rockin",
-    host="www.example.co.uk",
-    protocol="https",
-    onlyPath=false,
-    encode="attributes"
-)#
-```
-
-Which would generate this HTML (or something like it):
-
-```html
-<a href="https://www.example.co.uk/wheels/rocks/55?rocks=yes&amp;amp;referral=wheels.dev#rockin"><i class="rock-fist"></i> Wheels Rocks!</a>
-```
-
-### Images and Other Embedded HTML in Link Texts
-
-If you'd like to use an image as a link to another page, pass the output of [imageTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.imagetag.html) to the `text` argument of [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html)and use the `encode` argument to instruct `linkTo` to only encode `attributes`:
-
-```html
-#linkTo(
-    text=imageTag(source="authors.jpg"),
-    route="blogAuthors",
-    encode="attributes"
-)#
-```
-
-You can also use your CFML engine's built-in string interpolation to embed other HTML into the link text in a fairly readable manner:
-
-```html
-#linkTo(
-    text='<i class="fa fa-user"></i> #EncodeForHtml(employees.fullName)#',
-    route="employee",
-    key=employees.id,
-    encode="attributes"
-)#
-```
-
-{% hint style="danger" %}
-#### Security Notice
-
-If you decide to opt out of encoding, be careful. Any dynamic data passed in to un-encoded values should be escaped manually using your CFML engine's `EncodeForHtml()` function.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Adding Additional Attributes Like class, rel, and id
-
-Like many of the other Wheels view helpers, any additional arguments that you pass to [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) will be added to the generated `<a>` tag as attributes.
-
-For example, if you'd like to add a `class` attribute value of button to your link, here's what the call to [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) would look like:
-
-```
-#linkTo(text="Check Out", route="checkout", class="button")#
-```
-
-The same goes for any other argument that you pass, including but not limited to `id, rel, onclick`, etc.
-
-### What If I Don't Have URL Rewriting Enabled?
-
-Wheels will handle linking to pages without URL rewriting for you automatically. Let's pretend that you still have Wheels installed in your site root, but you do not have URL rewriting on. How you write your [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) call will not change:
-
-```
-#linkTo(
-    text="This link isn't as pretty, but it still works",
-    route="product",
-    key=product.key()
-)#
-```
-
-Wheels will still correctly build the link markup:
-
-```html
-<a href="/index.cfm/products/3">This link isn't as pretty, but it still works</a>
-```
-
-### Linking in a Subfolder Deployment of Wheels
-
-The same would be true if you had Wheels installed in a subfolder, thus perhaps eliminating your ability to use [URL Rewriting](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/README) (depending on what web server you have). The same [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) code above may generate this HTML if you had Wheels installed in a subfolder called `foo`:
-
-```html
-<a
-    href="/foo/index.cfm?route=product&amp;key=3">
-    This link isn't as pretty, but it still works
-</a>
-```
-
-### Use the linkTo() Function for Portability
-
-An `<a>` tag is easy enough, isn't it? Why would we need to use a function to do this mundane task? It turns out that there are some advantages. Here's the deal.
-
-Wheels gives you a good amount of structure for your applications. With this, instead of thinking of URLs in the "old way," we think in terms of what route we're sending the user to.
-
-What's more, Wheels is smart enough to build URLs for you. And it'll do this for you based on your situation with URL rewriting. Are you using URL rewriting in your app? Great. Wheels will build your URLs accordingly. Not fortunate enough to have URL rewriting capabilities in your development or production environments? That's fine too because Wheels will handle that automatically. Are you using Wheels in a subfolder on your site, thus eliminating your ability to use URL rewriting? Wheels handles that for you too.
-
-If you see the pattern, this gives your application a good deal of portability. For example, you could later enable URL rewriting or move your application to a different subfolder. As long as you're using [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) to build your links, you won't need to change anything extra to your code in order to accommodate this change.
-
-Lastly, if you later install a [plugin](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/plugins/installing-and-using-plugins) that needs to modify link markup, that plugin's hook is the [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) helper.
-
-Oh, and another reason is that it's just plain cool too. ;)

-### Page Encoding Issues
-
-Generally speaking, if you try and add Unicode characters such as umlauts into templates, you may well come across display issues. This is easily fixable, but requires one of the following:
-
-* For the template.cfm file to be saved in the correct encoding for the language being displayed
-* Or use of the `cfprocessingdirective` tag to set `pageEncoding`
-
-### Using cfprocessingdirective
-
-{% code title="/app/views/main/example.cfm" %}
-```html
-<h1>Über uns</h1>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-![Incorrect encoding example](https://files.readme.io/b18b015-umlaut_1.png)![Incorrect encoding example](https://files.readme.io/b18b015-umlaut_1.png)

-
-Correct encoding
-
-Likewise, umlauts in routes would need for the `/config/routes.cfm` file to have the correct encoding:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding="utf-8">
-<cfscript>
-    mapper()
-        .get(name="about", pattern="/über-uns", to="pages##about")
-        .root(to="wheels##wheels", method="get")
-    .end();
-</cfscript>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Using file encoding
-
-If you're actively trying to avoid the use of `cfprocessingdirective`, you can resave the template or route file with `UTF-8-BOM`. Your local text editor should provide this facility; here's an example in Notepad++ (windows)

-title: Pages
-description: Where to place your view files and what to put in them.
----
-
-# Pages
-
-We've talked previously about how the controller is responsible for deciding which view files to render to the user. Read the [Rendering Content](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/rendering-content) chapter if you need to refresh your memory about that topic.
-
-In this chapter, we'll explain exactly _where_ to place these files and _what_ to put in them.
-
-### Where to Place the Files
-
-In the simplest case, your controller action (typically a function inside your controller CFC file) will have a view file associated with it. As explained in the [Rendering Content](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/rendering-content) chapter, this file will be included automatically at the end of the controller action code. So if you're running the `show` action in the `blog` controller, for example, Wheels will include the `/app/views/blog/show.cfm` file.
-
-Some rules can be spotted here:
-
-* All view files live in the `/app/views` folder.
-* Each controller gets a subfolder named after it in the `/app/views` folder.
-* The view file to include is just a regular `.cfm` file named after the action.
-
-For creating standard pages, your work process will likely consist of the following steps:
-
-1. Create the controller action (a function in the controller CFC file).
-2. Create the corresponding view file for it (a `.cfm` file in the controller's view folder).
-
-There can be some exceptions to this process though, so let's go through some possible scenarios.
-
-### Controller Actions Without Associated View Files
-
-Not all controller actions need a corresponding view file. Consider the case where you process a form submission. To make sure it's not possible for the user to refresh the page and cause multiple submissions, you may choose to perform the form processing and then send the user directly to another page using the [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) function.
-
-### Rendering the View File for Another Action
-
-Sometimes you want the controller action to render the view file for a different action than the one currently executing. This is especially common when your application processes a form and the user makes an input error. In this case, you'll probably choose to have your application display the same form again for correction.
-
-In this case, you can use the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function and specify a different action in the `action` argument (which will include the view page for that action but not **run** the controller code for it).
-
-### Sharing a View File Between Actions
-
-Sometimes it's useful to have a view file that can be called from several controller actions. For these cases, you'll typically call [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) with the `template` argument.
-
-When using the `template` argument, there are specific rules that Wheels will follow in order to locate the file you want to include:
-
-* If the template argument starts with the `/` character, Wheels will start searching from the `/app/views` folder. Example: `renderView(template="/common/page")` will include the `/app/views/common/page.cfm` file.
-* If it contains the `/` character elsewhere in the string, the search will start from the controller's view folder. Example: `renderView(template="misc/page")` will include the `/app/views/blog/misc/page.cfm` file if we're currently in the `blog` controller.
-* In all other cases (i.e. when the template argument does not contain the `/` character at all), Wheels will just assume the file is in the controller's view folder and try to include it. Example: `renderView(template="something")` will include the `/app/views/blog/something.cfm` file if we're currently in the `blog` controller.
-
-Also note that both `renderView(template="thepage")` and `renderView(template="thepage.cfm")` work fine. But most of the time, Wheels developers will tend to leave out the `.cfm` part.
-
-### What Goes in the Files?
-
-This is the output of your application: what the users will see in their browsers. Most often this will consist of HTML, but it can also be JavaScript, CSS, XML, etc. You are of course free to use any CFML tags and functions that you want to in the file as well. (This is a CFML application, right?)
-
-In addition to this normal code that you'll see in most ColdFusion applications—whether they are made for a framework or not—Wheels also gives you some nice constructs to help keep your code clean. The most important ones of these are [Layouts](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/layouts) , Partials, and Helpers.
-
-When writing your view code, you will have access to the variables you have set up in the controller file. The idea is that the variables you want to access in the view should be set unscoped (or in the `variables` scope if you prefer to set it explicitly) in the controller so that they are available to the view template.
-
-In addition to the variables you have set yourself, you can also access the `params` struct. This contains anything passed in through the URL or with a form. If you want to follow MVC rules more closely though, we recommend only accessing the `params` struct in the controller and then setting new variables for the information you need access to in the view.
-
-The most important thing to remember when creating your view is to be careful not to put too much code in there. Avoid code dealing with the incoming request (this can be moved to the controller) and code containing business logic (consider moving this to a model). If you have view-related code but too much of it, it may be beneficial to break it out into a helper or a partial.
-
-### Cleaning Up Output
-
-A view's job is also to clean up and format the values provided by the controller before being displayed. This is especially important when content from a data source is not HTML-encoded.
-
-For example, if the view is to display the `title` column from a query object called `posts`, it should encode HTML special characters:
-
-```javascript
-<ul>
-    <cfoutput query="posts">
-        <li>#EncodeForHtml(posts.title)#</li>
-    </cfoutput>
-</ul>
-```
-
-Please note that you do **not** need to do this when passing in data to Wheels view helpers. The view helpers themselves will handle calling `EncodeForUrl`, `EncodeForHtml` and `EncodeForHtmlAttribute` internally as needed.
-
-By "view helpers" we mean everything listed as such in the [API reference](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/), so be aware that global helpers, such as [capitalize](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.capitalize.html), [humanize](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.humanize.html) etc, do not encode the content you pass in. When in doubt, simply test by passing in a string and check the HTML source of the output to see whether Wheels encoded it or not.
-
-To control encoding in general you have three global settings at your disposal (they all default to `true`):
-
-* `encodeURLs`: When `true`, calls `EncodeForUrl` to encode parameter name and values in [URLFor](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.urlfor.html).
-* `encodeHtmlTags`: When `true`, calls `EncodeForHtml` to encode tag content in [linkTo](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html), [textAreaTag](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textareatag.html) etc.
-* `encodeHtmlAttributes`: When `true`, calls `EncodeForHtmlAttribute` to encode attribute values in [linkTo](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html), [textAreaTag](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textareatag.html) etc.
-
-All individual functions also have their own `encode` argument (can be set to `true` / `false` or `attributes`) that overrides the global setting. Setting it to `attributes` will only encode HTML attribute values but leave tag content as is. Note that the `attributes` option is not available on functions that don't produce any tag content (such as [imageTag](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.imagetag.html) for example), in those cases it's enough to pass in either `true` or `false`.

-title: Pagination Helpers
----
-# Pagination Helpers
-
-Wheels provides composable pagination helpers that give you fine-grained control over pagination UI. Unlike `paginationLinks()` which generates a complete pagination block, these helpers let you build custom layouts by combining individual components.
-
-All helpers read from the same pagination metadata set by `findAll(page=...)` or `setPagination()`.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Controller --->
-<cfscript>
-    users = model("User").findAll(page=params.page, perPage=25, order="lastName");
-</cfscript>
-
-<!--- View --->
-#paginationNav()#
-```
-
-This renders a complete `<nav>` element with first/previous/page numbers/next/last links.
-
-## Individual Helpers
-
-### paginationInfo
-
-Displays a text summary of the current pagination state.
-
-```cfm
-#paginationInfo()#
-<!--- Output: "Showing 26-50 of 1,000 records" --->
-
-#paginationInfo(format="Page [currentPage] of [totalPages]")#
-<!--- Output: "Page 2 of 40" --->
-```
-
-Available tokens: `[startRow]`, `[endRow]`, `[totalRecords]`, `[currentPage]`, `[totalPages]`.
-
-### previousPageLink / nextPageLink
-
-```cfm
-#previousPageLink()#  <!--- "Previous" link or disabled span --->
-#nextPageLink()#      <!--- "Next" link or disabled span --->
-
-<!--- Custom text --->
-#previousPageLink(text="&laquo;")#
-#nextPageLink(text="&raquo;")#
-
-<!--- Hide when disabled instead of showing span --->
-#previousPageLink(showDisabled=false)#
-```
-
-### firstPageLink / lastPageLink
-
-```cfm
-#firstPageLink()#  <!--- "First" link or disabled span --->
-#lastPageLink()#   <!--- "Last" link or disabled span --->
-```
-
-### pageNumberLinks
-
-Renders a windowed set of page number links around the current page.
-
-```cfm
-#pageNumberLinks()#
-<!--- Output: 1 2 <span class="current">3</span> 4 5 --->
-
-<!--- Larger window --->
-#pageNumberLinks(windowSize=5)#
-
-<!--- With list markup --->
-#pageNumberLinks(prependToPage="<li>", appendToPage="</li>")#
-```
-
-### paginationNav
-
-Composes all helpers into a semantic `<nav>` element.
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Full navigation --->
-#paginationNav()#
-
-<!--- Without first/last links --->
-#paginationNav(showFirst=false, showLast=false)#
-
-<!--- With info text --->
-#paginationNav(showInfo=true)#
-
-<!--- Custom CSS class --->
-#paginationNav(navClass="my-pagination")#
-```
-
-## Building a Custom Pagination UI
-
-The real power comes from combining helpers individually:
-
-```cfm
-<nav class="pagination" aria-label="Pagination">
-    <div class="pagination-info">
-        #paginationInfo()#
-    </div>
-    <ul class="pagination-links">
-        <li>#previousPageLink(text="&laquo; Prev", disabledClass="text-muted")#</li>
-        #pageNumberLinks(
-            prependToPage="<li>",
-            appendToPage="</li>",
-            classForCurrent="active"
-        )#
-        <li>#nextPageLink(text="Next &raquo;", disabledClass="text-muted")#</li>
-    </ul>
-</nav>
-```
-
-## Bootstrap 5 Example
-
-```cfm
-<nav aria-label="Page navigation">
-    <ul class="pagination">
-        <li class="page-item">#previousPageLink(text="&laquo;", class="page-link", disabledClass="page-link")#</li>
-        #pageNumberLinks(
-            prependToPage="<li class='page-item'>",
-            appendToPage="</li>",
-            class="page-link",
-            classForCurrent="page-link active"
-        )#
-        <li class="page-item">#nextPageLink(text="&raquo;", class="page-link", disabledClass="page-link")#</li>
-    </ul>
-</nav>
-```
-
-## Common Parameters
-
-All helpers support these parameters:
-
-| Parameter | Default | Description |
-|-----------|---------|-------------|
-| `handle` | `"query"` | Handle for the paginated query |
-| `encode` | `true` | HTML-encode output |
-
-Link helpers (`previousPageLink`, `nextPageLink`, `firstPageLink`, `lastPageLink`) also support:
-
-| Parameter | Default | Description |
-|-----------|---------|-------------|
-| `text` | Varies | Link text |
-| `name` | `"page"` | Query parameter name |
-| `class` | `""` | CSS class for the link |
-| `disabledClass` | `"disabled"` | CSS class for disabled state |
-| `showDisabled` | `true` | Show disabled span or return empty string |
-| `pageNumberAsParam` | `true` | Page as query param vs route segment |
-
-## Multiple Paginated Queries
-
-Use the `handle` parameter when paginating multiple queries:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- Controller --->
-users = model("User").findAll(page=params.userPage, perPage=10, handle="users", order="name");
-posts = model("Post").findAll(page=params.postPage, perPage=5, handle="posts", order="title");
-
-<!--- View --->
-<h2>Users</h2>
-#paginationNav(handle="users")#
-
-<h2>Posts</h2>
-#paginationNav(handle="posts")#
-```
-
-## Changing Defaults
-
-Override defaults in `config/settings.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Change default text
-    set(functionName="previousPageLink", text="&laquo; Prev");
-    set(functionName="nextPageLink", text="Next &raquo;");
-
-    // Change info format
-    set(functionName="paginationInfo", format="Page [currentPage] of [totalPages]");
-
-    // Larger page number window
-    set(functionName="pageNumberLinks", windowSize=5);
-</cfscript>
-```

-title: Partials
-description: Simplify your views by breaking them down into partial page templates.
----
-
-# Partials
-
-Partials in Wheels act as a wrapper around the good old `<cfinclude>` tag. By calling [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) or [renderPartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderpartial.html), you can include other view files in a page, just like `<cfinclude>` would. But at the same time, partials make use of common Wheels features like layouts, caching, model objects, and so on.
-
-These functions also add a few cool things to your development arsenal like the ability to pass in a query or array of objects and have the partial file called on each iteration (to name one).
-
-### Why Use a Partial?
-
-Websites often display the same thing on multiple pages. It could be an advertisement area that should be displayed in an entire section of a website or a shopping cart that is displayed while browsing products in a shop. You get the idea. To avoid duplicating code, you can place it in a file (the "partial" in Wheels terms) and include that file using [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) on the pages that need it.
-
-Even when there is no risk of code duplication, it can still make sense to use a partial. Breaking up a large page into smaller, more manageable chunks will help you focus on each part individually.
-
-If you've used `<cfinclude>` a lot in the past (and who hasn't?!), you probably already knew all of this though, right?
-
-### Storing Your Partial Files
-
-To make it clear that a file is a partial and not a full page, we start the filename with an underscore character. You can place the partial file anywhere in the `/app/views` folder. When locating partials, Wheels will use the same rules as it does for the `template` argument to [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html). This means that if you save the partial in the current controller's view folder, you reference it simply by its name.
-
-For example, if you wanted to have a partial for a comment in your `blog` controller, you would save the file at `/app/views/blog/_comment.cfm` and reference it (in [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) and [renderPartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderpartial.html)) with just "`comment`" as the first argument.
-
-Sometimes it's useful to share partials between controllers though. Perhaps you have a banner ad that should be displayed across several controllers. One common approach then is to save them in a dedicated folder for this at the root of the `/app/views` folder. To reference partials in this folder, in this case named shared, you would then pass in `"/shared/banner"` to [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) instead.
-
-### Making the Call
-
-Now that we know why we should use partials and where to store them, let's make a call to [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) from a view page to have Wheels display a partial's output.
-
-```javascript
-#includePartial("banner")#
-```
-
-That code will look for a file named `_banner.cfm` in the current controller's view folder and include it.
-
-Let's say we're in the `blog` controller. Then the file that will be included is `/app/views/blog/_banner.cfm`.
-
-As you can see, you don't need to specify the `.cfm` part or the underscore when referencing a partial.
-
-### Passing in Data
-
-You can pass in data by adding named arguments on the [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) call. Because we use the `partial` argument to determine what file to include, you can't pass in a variable named partial though. The same goes for the other arguments as well, like `layout`, `spacer`, and `cache`.
-
-Here is an example of passing in a title to a partial for a form:
-
-```javascript
-#includePartial(partial="loginRegisterForm", title="Please log in here")#
-```
-
-Now you can reference the title variable as `arguments.title` inside the `_loginregisterform.cfm` file.
-
-If you prefer, you can still access the view variables that are set outside of the partial. The advantage with specifically passing them in instead is that they are then scoped in the `arguments` struct (which means less chance of strange bugs occurring due to variable conflicts). It also makes for more readable and maintainable code. (You can see the intent of the partial better when you see what is passed in to it).
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Special arguments
-
-The `query`, `object` and `objects` arguments are special arguments and should not be used for other purposes than what's documented in the sections further down on this page.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Automatic Calls to a Data Function
-
-There is an even more elegant way of passing data to a partial though. When you start using a partial on several pages on a site spread across multiple controllers, it can get quite cumbersome to remember to first load the data in an appropriate function in the controller, setup a before filter for it, pass that data in to the partial, and so on.
-
-Wheels can automate this process for you. The convention is that a partial will always check if a function exists on the controller with the same name as the partial itself (and that it's set to `private` and will return a struct). If so, the partial will call the function and add the output returned to its `arguments` struct.
-
-This way, the partial can be called from anywhere and acts more like a "black box." All communication with the model is kept in the controller as it should be for example.
-
-If you don't want to load the data from a function with the same name as the partial (perhaps due to it clashing with another function name), you can specify the function to load data from with the `dataFunction` argument to [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) and [renderPartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderpartial.html).
-
-### Partials with Layouts
-
-Just like a regular page, Wheels partials also understand the concept of layouts. To use this feature, simply pass in the name of the layout file you want to wrap the partial in with the `layout` argument, like this:
-
-```javascript
-#includePartial(partial="newsItem", layout="/boxes/blue")#
-```
-
-This will wrap the partial with the code found in `/app/views/boxes/_blue.cfm`. Just like with other layouts, you use [includeContent()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includecontent.html) to represent the partial's content.
-
-That said, your `_blue.cfm` file could end up looking something like this:
-
-```javascript
-<div class="news">
-    #includeContent()#
-</div>
-```
-
-One difference from page layouts is that the layout file for partials has to start with the underscore character.
-
-It's also worth noting that it's perfectly acceptable to include partials inside layout files as well. This opens up the possibility to nest layouts in complex ways.
-
-### Caching a Partial
-
-Caching a partial is done the same way as caching a page. Pass in the number of minutes you want to cache the partial for to the `cache` argument.
-
-Here's an example where we cache a partial for 15 minutes:
-
-```javascript
-#includePartial(partial="userListing", cache=15)#
-```
-
-### Using Partials with an Object
-
-Because it's quite common to use partials in conjunction with objects and queries, Wheels has built-in support for this too. Have a look at the code below, which passes in an object to a partial:
-
-```javascript
-cust = model("customer").findByKey(params.key);
-#includePartial(cust)#
-```
-
-That code will figure out that the `cust` variable contains a `customer` model object. It will then try to include a partial named `_customer.cfm` and pass in the object's properties as arguments to the partial. There will also be an `object`variable available in the `arguments` struct if you prefer to reference the object directly.
-
-Try that code and `<cfdump>` the `arguments` struct inside the partial file, and you'll see what's going on. Pretty cool stuff, huh?
-
-### Using Partials with a Query
-
-Similar to passing in an object, you can also pass in a query result set to [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html). Here's how that looks:
-
-```javascript
-customers = model("customer").findAll();
-#includePartial(partial="customers", query=customers)#
-```
-
-In this case, Wheels will iterate through the query and call the `_customer.cfm` partial on each iteration. Similar to the example with the object above, Wheels will pass in the objects' properties (in this case represented by records in the query) to the partial.
-
-In addition to that, you will also see that a counter variable is available. It's named `current` and is available when passing in queries or arrays of objects to a partial.
-
-The way partials handle objects and queries makes it possible to use the exact same code inside the partial regardless of whether we're dealing with an object or query record at the time.
-
-If you need to display some HTML in between each iteration (maybe each iteration should be a list item for example), then you can make use of the `spacer` argument. Anything passed in to that will be inserted between iterations. Here's an example:
-
-```javascript
-<ul>
-    <li>#includePartial(partial="customer", query=customers, spacer="</li><li>")#</li>
-</ul>
-```
-
-### Partials and Grouping
-
-There is a feature of CFML that is very handy: the ability to output a query with the group attribute. Here's an example of how this can be done with a query that contains artists and albums (with the artist potentially being duplicated since they can have more than one album):
-
-```javascript
-<cfoutput query="artistsAndAlbums" group="artistid">
-    <!--- Artist info is displayed just once for each artist here --->
-    <cfoutput>
-        <!--- Each album is looped here --->
-    </cfoutput>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-We have ported this great functionality into calling partials with queries as well. Here's how you can achieve it:
-
-```javascript
-#includePartial(partial=artistsAndAlbums, query=artistsAndAlbums, group="artistId")#
-```
-
-When inside the partial file, you'll have an additional subquery made available to you named `group`, which contains the albums for the current artist in the loop.
-
-### Using Partials with an Array of Objects
-
-As we've hinted previously in this chapter, it's also possible to pass in an array of objects to a partial. It works very similar to passing in a query in that the partial is called on each iteration.
-
-### Rendering or Including?
-
-So far we've only talked about [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html), which is what you use from within your views to include other files. There is another similar function as well: [renderPartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderpartial.html). This one is used from your controller files when you want to render a partial instead of a full page. At first glance, this might not make much sense to do. There is one common usage of this though—AJAX requests.
-
-Let's say that you want to submit comments on your blog using AJAX. For example, the user will see all comments, enter their comment, submit it, and the comment will show up below the existing ones without a new page being loaded.
-
-In this case, it's useful to use a partial to display each comment (using [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) as outlined above) and use the same partial when rendering the result of the AJAX request.
-
-Here's what your controller action that receives the AJAX form submission would look like:
-
-```javascript
-comment = model("comment").create(params.newComment);
-renderPartial(comment);
-```
-
-Please note that there currently is no support for creating the AJAX form directly with Wheels. This can easily be implemented using a JavaScript library such as jQuery or Prototype though.

-title: Caching
-description: How to speed up your website by caching content.
----
-
-# Caching
-
-If your website doesn't get a whole lot of traffic, then you can probably skip this chapter completely. Just remember that it's here, waiting for your triumphant return.
-
-On the other hand, you're probably hoping for massive amounts of traffic to reach your website very soon, an imminent sell-out to Google, and a good life drinking Margaritas in the Caribbean. Knowing a little bit about the Wheels caching concepts will prepare you for this. (Except for the Margaritas... You're on your own with those ;).)
-
-Consider a typical page on a Wheels website. It will likely call a controller action, get some data from your database using a finder method, and render the view for the user using some of the handy built-in functions.
-
-All this takes time and resources on your web and database servers. Let's assume this page is accessed frequently, rarely changes, and looks the same for all users. Then you have a perfect candidate for caching.
-
-### Configuring the Cache
-
-Wheels will configure all caching parameters behind the scenes for you based on what environment mode you are currently in. If you leave everything to Wheels, caching will be optimized for the different environment modes (and set to have reasonable settings for cache size and culling). This means that all caching is off when working in Development mode but on when in Production mode, for example.
-
-Here are the global caching parameters you can set, their default values, and a description of what they do. Because these are not meant to be set differently based on the environment mode, you would usually set these in the `/config/settings.cfm` file:
-
-```
-set(maximumItemsToCache=5000);
-set(cacheCullPercentage=10);
-set(cacheCullIntervalMinutes=5);
-set(cacheDatePart="n");
-set(defaultCacheTime=60);
-set(cacheQueriesDuringRequest=true);
-set(clearQueryCacheOnReload=true);
-set(cachePlugins=true);
-```
-
-### maximumItemsToCache Setting
-
-The total amount of items the cache can hold. When the cache is full, items will be deleted automatically at a regular interval based on the other settings below.
-
-Note that the cache is stored in ColdFusion's `application` scope, so take this into consideration when deciding the number of items to store.
-
-### cacheCullPercentage Setting
-
-This is the percentage of items that are culled from the cache when `maximumItemsToCache` has been reached.
-
-For example, if you set this value to 10, then at most, 10% of expired items will be deleted from the cache.
-
-If you set this to 100, then all expired items will be deleted. Setting it to 100 is perfectly fine for small caches but can be problematic if the cache is very large.
-
-### cacheCullInterval Setting
-
-This is the number of minutes between each culling action. The reason the cache is not culled during each request is to keep performance as high as possible.
-
-### cacheDatePart Setting
-
-The measurement unit to use during caching. The default is minutes ("`n`"), but you can set it to seconds ("`s`") for example if you want more precise control over when a cached item should expire. For the rest of this chapter, we'll assume you've left it at the default setting.
-
-### defaultCacheTime Setting
-
-The number of minutes an item should be cached when it has not been specifically set through one of the functions that perform the caching in Wheels (i.e., `caches()`, `findAll()`, `includePartial()`, etc).
-
-### cacheQueriesDuringRequest Setting
-
-When set to `true`, Wheels caches identical queries during a request. See the section titled _Automatic Caching of Identical Queries_ below for more information about this setting.
-
-### clearQueryCacheOnReload Setting
-
-When set to `true`, Wheels will clear out all cached queries when doing a `reload=true` request. This is usually a good idea, but if you want to avoid hitting the database too hard on application reloads, you can set this to `false` to keep queries cached and ease the load on the database.
-
-### cachePlugins Setting
-
-If you set this to `false`, all plugins will reload on each request (as opposed to during `reload=true` requests only). Setting this is only recommended if you are developing a plugin yourself and need to see the impact of your changes as you develop it on a per-request basis.
-
-### Environment-Level Caching
-
-The following cache variables are usually set per environment mode:
-
-```
-// always turned on regardless of mode setting.
-set(cacheControllerConfig = true);
-set(cacheDatabaseSchema = true);
-set(cacheModelConfig = true);
-set(cachePlugins = true);
-
-// Development mode example
-set(cacheActions = false);
-set(cacheFileChecking = false);
-set(cacheImages = false);
-set(cachePages = false);
-set(cachePartials = false);
-set(cacheQueries = false);
-```
-
-The settings shown above are what's in use in the Development mode. As you can see, when running in that mode, very little is cached. This makes it possible to do extensive changes without having to issue a `reload=true` request or restart the ColdFusion server, for example. The downside is that it makes for slightly slower development because the pages will not load as fast in this environment.
-
-The variables themselves are fairly self-explanatory. When `cacheDatabaseSchema` is set to `false`, you can add a field to the database, and Wheels will pick that up right away. When `cacheModelConfig` is false, any changes you make to the `config()` function in the model file will be picked up. And so on.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### No more Design mode
-
-Note that "Design" mode has been removed: please use development mode instead.
-{% endhint %}
-
-Please refer to the [Configuration and Defaults](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults) chapter for a complete listing of all the variables you can set and their default values.
-
-### 4 Ways to Cache
-
-In Wheels, you can cache data in 4 different ways:
-
-* **Action** caching is the most effective of these methods because it caches the entire resulting HTML for the user.
-* **Page** caching is similar to action caching, but it will only cache the view page itself and in reality, this caching method is rarely used.
-* **Partial** caching is used when you only want to cache specific parts of pages. One reason for this could be that the page is personalized for a specific user, and you can only cache the sections that are not personalized.
-* **Query** caching is the least effective of the 4 caching options because it only caches result sets that you get back from the database. But if you have a busy database and you're not too concerned with leaving pages/partials uncached, this could be a good option for you.
-
-### Action Caching
-
-This code specifies that you want to cache the `browseByUser` and `browseByTitle` actions for 30 minutes:
-
-{% code title="Caches Example" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-   function config(){
-     caches(actions="browseByUser,browseByTitle", time=30);
-   }
-
-   function browseByUser(){
-     }
-
-   function browseByTitle(){
-     }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-As you can see, the `caches()` function call goes inside the `config()` function at the top of your controller file and accepts a list of action names and the number of minutes the actions should be cached for.
-
-So what happens when users request the `browseByUser` page?
-
-When Wheels receives the first request for this page, it will handle everything as it normally would, with the exception that it also adds a copy of the resulting HTML to the cache before ending the processing.
-
-Wheels creates an internal key for use in the cache as well. This key is created from the `controller, action, key`, and `params` variables. This means, for example, that paginated pages are all stored individually in the cache (because the URL variable for the page to display would be different on each request).
-
-When the second user requests the same page, Wheels will serve the HTML directly from the cache.
-
-All subsequent requests now get the cached page until it expires.
-
-But there are 2 exceptions to this (which you can make good use of in your code to have the cache re-created at the right times). If the request is a post request (normally coming from a form submission) or if the Flash (you can read everything about the Flash in the [Using the Flash](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/using-the-flash) chapter) is not empty, then the cache won't be used. Instead, a new fresh page will be created.
-
-One way to use this feature is to submit your forms to the same page to have it re-created or redirect to the cached page with a message in the Flash.
-
-Here is some code that shows this technique with using the Flash to expire the cache. (Imagine that the `showArticle`page is cached and a user is adding a new comment to it.)
-
-{% code title="Expire with Flash" %}
-```javascript
-flashInsert(message="Your comment was added");
-redirectTo(action="showArticle", key=params.key);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Note that by default, any filters set for the action are being run as normal. This means that if you do authentication in the filter (which is a common technique for sites with content where you have to login first to see it), you can still cache those pages safely using the [caches()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.caches.html) function.
-
-However, to achieve the fastest possible cache, you can override this default and tell Wheels to cache the HTML and serve that exactly as it is to all subsequent requests without running any filters. To do this, set the `static` argument on [caches()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.caches.html) to `true`. This will cache your content using the `cfcache` tag behind the scenes. This means that the Wheels framework won't even get involved with the subsequent requests until they expire from the cache again (please note that application events like `onSessionStart`, `onRequestStart`, etc. will run though).
-
-### Page Caching
-
-This code specifies that you want to cache the view page for the `browseByUser` action for 1 hour:
-
-{% code title="browseByUser caches" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-   function browseByUser(){
-     renderView(cache=60);
-     }
-
-   function browseByTitle(){
-     }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The difference between action caching and page caching is that page caching will run the action and then only cache the view page itself. Action caching, as explained above, does not run the action code at all (but it does run filters and verifications).
-
-### Partial Caching
-
-When your site contains personalized information (maybe some text specifying who you are logged in as, a list of items in your shopping cart, etc.), then action caching is not an option, and you need to cache at a lower level. This is where being able to cache only specific parts of pages comes in handy.
-
-In Wheels, this is done by using the `cache` argument in a call to [includePartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.includepartial.html) or [renderPartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderpartial.html). You can pass in `cache=true` or `cache=x` where `x` is the number of minutes you want to cache the partial for.
-
-If you just pass in `true`, the default cache expiration time will be used.
-
-So, for example, if you have an e-commerce site that lists products with a shopping cart in the sidebar, then you'd create a partial for the list of products and cache only that.
-
-Example code:
-
-{% code title="IncludePartial" %}
-```javascript
-#includePartial(partial="listing", cache=true)#
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Behind the scenes Wheels creates the cache key based on the name of the partial plus all of the arguments passed in to it. This means that if you pass in a `userId` variable for example, they will be cached separately.
-
-You can also use this to your advantage when it comes to expiring cached content. You could, for example, update an `updatedAt` property on a user object and pass that in to `includePartial`. As soon as it changes, Wheels will recreate the cached content (since the cache key is now different).
-
-### Query Caching
-
-You can cache result sets returned by your queries too. As a ColdFusion developer, this probably won't be new to you because you've always been able to use the `cachedwithin` attribute in the `<cfquery>` tag. The query caching in Wheels is very similar to this.
-
-You can use query caching on all finder methods, and it looks like this:
-
-```
-users = model("user").findAll(where="name LIKE 'a%'", cache=10);
-```
-
-So there you have it: 4 easy ways to speed up your website!
-
-### Automatic Caching of Identical Queries
-
-When working with objects in Wheels, you'll likely find yourself using all of the convenient association functions Wheels makes available to you.
-
-For example, if you have set up a `belongsTo` association from `article` to `author`, then you will likely write a lot of `article.author().name()` calls. In this case, Wheels is smart enough to only call the database once per request if the queries are identical. So don't worry about adding performance hits when making multiple calls like that in your code.
-
-You can turn off this functionality either by using the `reload` argument to [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) (or any of the dynamic methods that end up calling [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) behind the scenes) or globally by adding `set(cacheQueriesDuringRequest=false)` to your configuration files.
-
-The caching of these queries are stored on a per-model basis and Wheels will conveniently clear the cache for a model whenever anything changes in the database for a model (e.g. you call something that creates, updates or deletes records).

-title: CORS Requests
-description: Configure Wheels to properly handle CORS requests
----
-
-# CORS Requests
-
-Wheels can often act as the "backend" in a modern web application, serving data to multiple types of frontend clients. Typically this would be in the form of (but not limited to) JSON served as an API, with something like VueJS or React on the front end, possibly served under a different domain.
-
-When we separate our systems in such a manner, we need to consider CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) and how to properly serve requests which modern browsers will allow.
-
-### Getting Started
-
-To enable CORS, add `set(allowCorsRequests=true);` to your `/config/settings.cfm` file. You must also configure your allowed origins explicitly — by default, no origins are permitted:
-
-```javascript
-set(allowCorsRequests=true);
-set(accessControlAllowOrigin="https://app.domain.com");
-```
-
-This will enable the following CORS headers for matching requests:
-
-```
-Access-Control-Allow-Origin 
-https://app.domain.com
-
-Access-Control-Allow-Methods 
-GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
-
-Access-Control-Allow-Headers
-Origin, Content-Type, X-Auth-Token, X-Requested-By, X-Requested-With
-```
-
-{% hint style="warning" %}
-Setting `accessControlAllowOrigin` to `"*"` (wildcard) allows any website to make cross-origin requests to your application. Only use this in development or when you explicitly intend to provide a public API.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Custom CORS Headers
-
-We can be more specific. We still need to specify `set(allowCorsRequests=true);` in our `/config/settings.cfm` to turn on the main CORS functionality, but we can also provide some additional configuration options to fine tune our responses.
-
-### Access Control Allow Origin
-
-The Access Control Allow Origin header tells the browser whether the domain they are connecting from can access the requested resource.
-
-By default, this header is not set (empty string), meaning no cross-origin requests are allowed. You must explicitly configure your allowed origins. For example, if your VueJS app lives at `app.domain.com`:
-
-```javascript
-// Wildcard
-set(accessControlAllowOrigin="*")
-
-// Specify a domain
-set(accessControlAllowOrigin="https://app.domain.com");
-
-// Specify multiple domains in a list
-set(accessControlAllowOrigin="https://app.domain.com,https://staging-app.domain.com");
-```
-
-You can also take advantage of the environment specific configurations, such as only allowing access to `localhost:8080` in `/config/development/settings.cfm` for example.
-
-Wheels also allows for subdomain wildcard matching for CORS permitted origins:
-
-```javascript
-// Match https://foo.domain.com or https://bar.domain.com or https://www.mydomain.com
-set(accessControlAllowOrigin = [
-  "https://*.domain.com",
-  "https://www.mydomain.com"
-]);
-```
-
-The CORS spec specifies that you are only allowed either a \* wildcard, or a specific URL , i.e [https://www.foo.com:8080](https://www.foo.com:8080/)- it doesn't in itself allow for wildcard subdomains. However in this scenario Wheels will attempt to match the wildcard and return the full matched domain.
-
-### Access Control Allow Methods
-
-The Access Control Allow Methods tells the browser what HTTP Methods (Verbs) are allowed to be performed against the requested resource.
-
-By default these are set to be all possible Methods, `GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS`. If our API only allows specific methods, we can specify them: note that this is application-wide and not dependent on route.
-
-cfscript
-
-```javascript
-// Only ever allow GET requests to this API
-set(accessControlAllowMethods="GET");
-
-// Only ever allow GET, POST and OPTIONS
-set(accessControlAllowMethods="GET,POST,OPTIONS");
-```
-
-### Access Control Allow Methods (By Route)
-
-Whilst setting Access Control Allow Methods site-wide is fine, it doesn't actually fulfill the CORS requirement properly - the value returned by this header should indicate what methods are available at that url. For instance, `/cats` might only allow `GET,POST` requests, and `/cats/1/` might only allow `GET,PUT,PATCH,DELETE` requests.
-
-Thankfully, we can pull this information in from the routing system automatically! Note, `set(accessControlAllowMethodsByRoute=true)` will override `set(accessControlAllowMethods())`
-
-```javascript
-// automatically look up the available routes in application.wheels.routes and return the valid methods for the requested route
-set(accessControlAllowMethodsByRoute=true);
-```
-
-### Access Control Allow Credentials
-
-If you're sending credentials such as a cookie from your front end application, you may need to turn this header on.
-
-```javascript
-// if set to true, include the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header
-set(accessControlAllowCredentials=true);
-```
-
-### Access Control Allow Headers
-
-If you need to specify a specific list of allowed headers, you can simply pass them into this configuration setting
-
-```javascript
-// Set site wide allowed headers
-set(accessControlAllowHeaders = "Origin, Content-Type, X-Auth-Token, X-Requested-By, X-Requested-With, X-MyHeader")
-```

-title: Event Handlers
-description: Use the standard CFML application events through the framework.
----
-
-# Event Handlers
-
-Because the `Application.cfc` file is in the `public` folder of your Wheels site and it has the necessary framework initialization like `onApplicationStart`, `onRequestStart`, It uses [Wirebox](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/wirebox) to initiailize the `vendor/wheels/Global.cfc`, which contains the initialization for controller and global functions like [model()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.model.html), you may wonder what the best way is to use CFML's onApplicationStart, onRequestStart, etc. functions.
-
-While it's perfectly possible to add your code directly to the `/public/Application.cfc` or `vendor/wheels/Global.cfc` file, we certainly don't recommend it. If you add code in there, you both increase the risk of accidentally modifying how the framework functions, and you also make it a lot harder to upgrade to future versions of Wheels.
-
-### Use the events Folder for Standard CFML Events
-
-The general recommendation is to never touch any files in the wheels folder. OK, with that little warning out of the way, how does one go about using the CFML events?
-
-The answer is to use the `/app/events` folder. There is a file in there for every single event that CFML triggers. So if you want some code executed on application start for example, just place your code in `onapplicationstart.cfm`, and Wheels will run it when your application starts.
-
-### Wheels Includes Some Extra Bonus Events
-
-If you look closely in the `events` folder, you will also notice that there are some custom files in there that do not match up with standard CFML events. The `onmaintenance.cfm` file is one example. Let's have a closer look at these.
-
-**On Maintenance**
-
-The `onmaintenance.cfm` file is included when Wheels is set to maintenance mode. After the file is included, `cfabort` is called by Wheels so no other code runs in this mode.
-
-**On Error**
-
-You can place a generic error message in the `onerror.cfm` file to be displayed to the users whenever your site throws an error.
-
-If you need to access the error information here (for logging purposes, for example) it is available at `arguments.exception`.
-
-**On Missing Template**
-
-The `onmissingtemplate.cfm` file works in a similar way as the error file above, but it gets called when a controller or action in your application could not be found.
-
-Note: If you want to make sure that all browsers show your custom 404 page you need to make it larger than 512 bytes in size. Google Chrome, for example, will display a friendly help page of its own when the 404 page is less than 512 bytes.
-
-### Adding Functions
-
-Sometimes it's useful to add functions right in the `Application.cfc` file to make them available to all templates. To achieve the same thing in Wheels, you can place your functions in `/app/global/functions.cfm`.
-
-### Application Settings
-
-Again, because there is no `Application.cfc` file for you to work with in Wheels, you have to find a suitable place to set application settings such as `SessionManagement`, `SessionTimeout, ScriptProtect, SetClientCookies`, and so on. These are usually set in the constructor area of an `Application.cfc` file. We recommend that you set them in the `/config/app.cfm` file instead.

-title: HTTP Method Detection
-description: >-
-  Detect HTTP request methods and AJAX requests for implementing REST APIs,
-  conditional logic, and request-specific handling in Wheels.
----
-
-# HTTP Method Detection
-
-## Overview
-
-Wheels provides comprehensive HTTP method detection functions that allow you to build REST APIs, implement conditional logic, and handle different request types appropriately in your controllers.
-
-## Available Methods
-
-### HTTP Method Detection
-- `isGet()` - Detects GET requests
-- `isPost()` - Detects POST requests
-- `isPut()` - Detects PUT requests
-- `isPatch()` - Detects PATCH requests
-- `isDelete()` - Detects DELETE requests
-- `isHead()` - Detects HEAD requests
-- `isOptions()` - Detects OPTIONS requests
-
-### AJAX Detection
-- `isAjax()` - Detects AJAX/XMLHttpRequest calls
-
-### Security Detection
-- `isSecure()` - Detects HTTPS requests
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-### Simple Method Detection
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function handleRequest() {
-        if (isGet()) {
-            // Handle GET request - show data
-            users = model("User").findAll();
-
-        } else if (isPost()) {
-            // Handle POST request - create data
-            user = model("User").create(params.user);
-
-        } else if (isPut()) {
-            // Handle PUT request - update data
-            user = model("User").updateByKey(params.key, params.user);
-
-        } else if (isDelete()) {
-            // Handle DELETE request - remove data
-            model("User").deleteByKey(params.key);
-
-        } else {
-            // Handle unsupported methods
-            renderWith(data={error="Method not allowed"}, status=405);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### AJAX vs Traditional Requests
-```cfm
-function update() {
-    user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    if (user.update(params.user)) {
-        if (isAjax()) {
-            // AJAX response - return JSON
-            renderWith(data={
-                success=true,
-                user=user,
-                message="User updated successfully"
-            });
-        } else {
-            // Traditional form - redirect with flash
-            flashInsert(success="User updated successfully");
-            redirectTo(route="user", key=user.id);
-        }
-    } else {
-        if (isAjax()) {
-            // AJAX error response
-            renderWith(data={
-                success=false,
-                errors=user.allErrors()
-            }, status=422);
-        } else {
-            // Traditional form - re-render with errors
-            renderView(action="edit");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## REST API Development
-
-### RESTful Controller Action
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Enable JSON responses
-        provides("json,html");
-
-        // Add authentication for state-changing operations
-        filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
-
-        // CSRF protection for non-GET requests
-        protectsFromForgery(except="api");
-    }
-
-    function resource() {
-        // RESTful endpoint supporting multiple HTTP methods
-        switch(true) {
-            case isGet():
-                handleGet();
-                break;
-            case isPost():

-            description="Resource endpoint methods"
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Advanced Patterns
-
-### Progressive Enhancement
-```cfm
-function create() {
-    contact = model("Contact").create(params.contact);
-
-    if (contact.valid()) {
-        // Send confirmation email
-        sendEmail(
-            to=contact.email,
-            subject="Thank you for contacting us",
-            template="contact/confirmation"
-        );
-
-        if (isAjax()) {
-            // AJAX: Return success data
-            renderWith(data={
-                success=true,
-                message="Thank you! We'll be in touch soon.",
-                contact={
-                    id=contact.id,
-                    name=contact.name,
-                    submittedAt=contact.createdAt
-                }
-            });
-        } else {
-            // Traditional: Redirect with success message
-            flashInsert(success="Thank you! We'll be in touch soon.");
-            redirectTo(action="success");
-        }
-    } else {
-        if (isAjax()) {
-            // AJAX: Return validation errors
-            renderWith(data={
-                success=false,
-                errors=contact.allErrors(),
-                message="Please correct the errors below."
-            }, status=422);
-        } else {
-            // Traditional: Re-render form with errors
-            renderView(action="new");
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### API Version Handling
-```cfm
-function api() {
-    local.apiVersion = getAPIVersion(); // Custom function
-    local.responseData = {};
-
-    if (isGet()) {
-        switch(local.apiVersion) {
-            case "v1":
-                local.responseData = getLegacyUserData();
-                break;
-            case "v2":
-                local.responseData = getEnhancedUserData();
-                break;
-            default:
-                renderWith(data={error="API version not supported"}, status=400);
-                return;
-        }
-
-        renderWith(data=local.responseData);
-
-    } else if (isPost()) {
-        // Handle version-specific creation
-        switch(local.apiVersion) {
-            case "v1":
-                result = createUserV1(params);
-                break;
-            case "v2":
-                result = createUserV2(params);
-                break;
-            default:
-                renderWith(data={error="API version not supported"}, status=400);
-                return;
-        }
-
-        renderWith(data=result, status=201);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Method Override Support
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Enable method override for HTML forms
-        filters(through="enableMethodOverride");
-    }
-
-    private function enableMethodOverride() {
-        // HTML forms can only POST, but we can override the method
-        if (isPost() && structKeyExists(params, "_method")) {
-            switch(LCase(params._method)) {
-                case "put":
-                    request.wheels.requestMethod = "PUT";
-                    break;
-                case "patch":
-                    request.wheels.requestMethod = "PATCH";
-                    break;
-                case "delete":
-                    request.wheels.requestMethod = "DELETE";
-                    break;
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-### Method-Based Security
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        // Require POST for state-changing operations
-        filters(through="requirePost", only="create,update,delete");
-
-        // Require HTTPS for sensitive operations
-        filters(through="requireSecure", only="login,payment,admin");
-
-        // CSRF protection for non-GET requests
-        protectsFromForgery();

-title: Middleware
-description: Use middleware to process requests before they reach your controllers — add headers, enforce CORS, reject unauthorized requests, and more.
----
-
-# Middleware
-
-Middleware lets you intercept and modify requests at the **dispatch level**, before a controller is even instantiated. This is different from [filters](/v4-0-0-snapshot/handling-requests-with-controllers/using-filters/), which run inside a specific controller.
-
-Use middleware when you need logic that applies globally or to groups of routes — things like request IDs, CORS headers, security headers, rate limiting, or authentication gates.
-
-## How It Works
-
-Each middleware implements a simple contract: receive a `request` struct and a `next` function, do your work, then call `next(request)` to pass control down the chain. The last step in the chain is the actual controller dispatch.
-
-```
-Request → RequestId → Cors → SecurityHeaders → Controller → Response
-                                                    ↑
-                                              next(request)
-```
-
-This is sometimes called the "onion model" — the first middleware registered is the outermost layer.
-
-## The Middleware Interface
-
-Every middleware component must implement `wheels.middleware.MiddlewareInterface`:
-
-```cfm
-// vendor/wheels/middleware/MiddlewareInterface.cfc
-interface {
-    public string function handle(required struct request, required any next);
-}
-```
-
-- **`request`** — A struct containing `params`, `route`, `pathInfo`, and `method`, plus any data added by prior middleware.
-- **`next`** — A closure. Call `next(request)` to continue to the next middleware (or the controller). Skip it to short-circuit the pipeline.
-- **Return value** — The response string.
-
-## Registering Global Middleware
-
-Register middleware in `config/settings.cfm`. They run on **every request** in the order listed:
-
-```cfm
-// config/settings.cfm
-set(
-    middleware = [
-        new wheels.middleware.RequestId(),
-        new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders(),
-        new wheels.middleware.Cors(allowOrigins="https://myapp.com")
-    ]
-);
-```
-
-You can pass component instances (as above) or CFC dot-paths as strings:
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware = ["wheels.middleware.RequestId", "app.middleware.RateLimiter"]);
-```
-
-String paths are instantiated automatically with a no-arg `init()`.
-
-## Route-Scoped Middleware
-
-Attach middleware to specific route groups using the `middleware` argument on `scope()`:
-
-```cfm
-// config/routes.cfm
-mapper()
-    .scope(path="/api", middleware=[new app.middleware.ApiAuth()])
-        .resources("users")
-        .resources("products")
-    .end()
-    .resources("pages")  // no ApiAuth middleware here
-.end();
-```
-
-Route-scoped middleware runs **after** global middleware. Scopes nest — child scopes inherit and append to parent middleware:
-
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .scope(path="/api", middleware=["app.middleware.ApiAuth"])
-        .scope(path="/admin", middleware=["app.middleware.AdminOnly"])
-            .resources("settings")  // runs: global → ApiAuth → AdminOnly
-        .end()
-        .resources("users")         // runs: global → ApiAuth
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-## Built-in Middleware
-
-Wheels ships with four middleware components you can use immediately.
-
-### RequestId
-
-Assigns a unique UUID to every request for tracing and debugging.
-
-- Sets `request.wheels.requestId`
-- Adds `X-Request-Id` response header
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware = [new wheels.middleware.RequestId()]);
-```
-
-### SecurityHeaders
-
-Adds OWASP-recommended security headers to every response.
-
-| Header | Default |
-|--------|---------|
-| `X-Frame-Options` | `SAMEORIGIN` |
-| `X-Content-Type-Options` | `nosniff` |
-| `X-XSS-Protection` | `1; mode=block` |
-| `Referrer-Policy` | `strict-origin-when-cross-origin` |
-
-```cfm
-// Use defaults
-set(middleware = [new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders()]);
-
-// Customize
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders(
-        frameOptions = "DENY",
-        referrerPolicy = "no-referrer"
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-Set any parameter to an empty string to disable that header.
-
-### Cors
-
-Handles Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers and OPTIONS preflight requests.
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.Cors(
-        allowOrigins = "https://myapp.com,https://admin.myapp.com",
-        allowMethods = "GET,POST,PUT,DELETE",
-        allowHeaders = "Content-Type,Authorization",
-        allowCredentials = true,
-        maxAge = 86400
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-| Parameter | Default | Description |
-|-----------|---------|-------------|
-| `allowOrigins` | `"*"` | Comma-delimited list of allowed origins |
-| `allowMethods` | `"GET,POST,PUT,PATCH,DELETE,OPTIONS"` | Allowed HTTP methods |
-| `allowHeaders` | `"Content-Type,Authorization,X-Requested-With"` | Allowed request headers |
-| `allowCredentials` | `false` | Whether to allow cookies/auth headers |
-| `maxAge` | `86400` | Preflight cache duration in seconds |
-
-For simple CORS needs, you may prefer the existing [CORS Requests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/handling-requests-with-controllers/cors-requests/) guide which covers header-only approaches.
-
-### TenantResolver
-
-Resolves the current tenant from the incoming request and sets `request.wheels.tenant` for automatic per-request datasource switching. Supports three resolution strategies.
-
-| Parameter | Default | Description |
-|-----------|---------|-------------|
-| `resolver` | `""` | Closure that receives the request struct and returns a tenant struct (`{id, dataSource, config}`). Return `{}` for unrecognized tenants. |
-| `strategy` | `"custom"` | Resolution strategy: `"custom"`, `"header"`, or `"subdomain"` |
-| `headerName` | `"X-Tenant-ID"` | HTTP header to read when strategy is `"header"` |
-
-```javascript
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="domain='#cgi.server_name#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-The middleware locks the tenant for the duration of the request and cleans up automatically. All model queries are transparently routed to the tenant's datasource (except models marked with `sharedModel()`).
-
-For the full multi-tenancy guide — including shared models, tenant migrations, and background jobs — see [Multi-Tenancy](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/multi-tenancy/).
-
-## Writing Custom Middleware
-
-Create a CFC that implements `wheels.middleware.MiddlewareInterface`:
-
-```cfm
-// app/middleware/RateLimiter.cfc
-component implements="wheels.middleware.MiddlewareInterface" output="false" {
-
-    public RateLimiter function init(numeric maxRequests = 100) {
-        variables.maxRequests = arguments.maxRequests;
-        return this;
-    }
-
-    public string function handle(required struct request, required any next) {
-        // Check rate limit (pseudo-code)
-        local.clientIp = cgi.remote_addr;
-        if ($isRateLimited(local.clientIp)) {
-            cfheader(statusCode="429");
-            return "Rate limit exceeded. Try again later.";
-        }
-
-        // Continue to next middleware / controller
-        return arguments.next(arguments.request);
-    }
-
-    private boolean function $isRateLimited(required string ip) {
-        // Your rate limiting logic here
-        return false;
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-### Patterns
-
-**Enrich the request** — add data for downstream middleware or the controller:
-
-```cfm
-public string function handle(required struct request, required any next) {
-    arguments.request.currentUser = $lookupUser();
-    return arguments.next(arguments.request);
-}
-```
-
-**Short-circuit** — return a response without calling `next()`:
-
-```cfm
-public string function handle(required struct request, required any next) {
-    if (!$isAuthenticated(arguments.request)) {
-        cfheader(statusCode="401");
-        return "Unauthorized";
-    }
-    return arguments.next(arguments.request);
-}
-```
-
-**Post-process** — modify the response after the controller runs:
-
-```cfm
-public string function handle(required struct request, required any next) {
-    local.startTick = GetTickCount();
-    local.response = arguments.next(arguments.request);
-    local.elapsed = GetTickCount() - local.startTick;
-    cfheader(name="X-Response-Time", value="#local.elapsed#ms");
-    return local.response;
-}
-```
-
-## Middleware vs. Filters
-
-| | Middleware | Filters |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Runs at** | Dispatch level (before controller) | Controller level (inside controller) |
-| **Scope** | Global or route group | Single controller |
-| **Access to** | Request struct, response string | Controller instance, `params`, views |
-| **Best for** | Cross-cutting concerns (auth, headers, logging) | Controller-specific logic (load record, check permissions) |
-
-Both can coexist. A typical setup might use middleware for security headers and request IDs globally, then filters for loading specific records inside individual controllers.

-title: Nesting Controllers
----
-# Nesting Controllers
-
-With the routing system in Wheels, there are lots of nice features which allow for better code organization. One of these is the ability to nest controllers into folders using the `namespace()` method in our `mapper()` call.
-
-For example, we may have a whole "Admin" section, where for each endpoint, we need to check some permissions, and possibly load some default data. Let's say we have a `Users` controller which provides standard CRUD operations.
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-.mapper()
-  .namespace("admin")
-    .resources("users")
-  .end()
-.end()
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This will automatically look for the `Users.cfc` controller in `/app/controllers/admin/`.
-
-By default, all your controllers `extend="Controller"`, but with a nested controller, we need to change this, as the main `Controller.cfc` isn't at the same folder level.
-
-### A Handy Mapping
-
-We've added a new mapping in 3.x, called `app`; This mapping will correspond to the `app` folder, so in our `Users.cfc` we now have two options - extend the core `Controller.cfc` via the app mapping, or perhaps extend another component (possibly `Admin.cfc`) which extends the core Controller instead.
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/admin/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="app.controllers.Controller" {
-
-  function config(){
-    super.config();
-  }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In the above example, we're using the `app` mapping to "go to" the `app` folder, and then look for a folder called `controllers`, and within that, our main `Controller.cfc`.
-
-Our `super.config()` call will then run the `config()` function in our base Controller.
-
-We could of course have the following too (just for completeness sake):
-
-{% code title="File system" %}
-```
-/app/
-  /controllers/
-    /admin/
-      - Admin.cfc
-      - Users.cfc
-    /public/
-      - etc.
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-And then add the `app.controllers.Controller` mapping to `Admin.cfc`, and the `extends="Admin"` in the `Users.cfc`.
-
-### Not just controllers...
-
-Of course, we can _extend_ this concept (ha!) to Models too. However, this is either limited to tableless models, or models where you implicitly specify the `table()` call. As Wheels will look for the tablename dependent on the model file location, it'll get confused if in a sub-directory.
-
-{% code title="/app/models/auth/LDAP.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="app.models.Model"
-{
-    function config() {
-        table(false);
-    }
-    function save(){
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-It also potentially makes your `model()` calls more complex, as you need to specify the model name in dot notation:
-
-{% code title="Example nested model call" %}
-```javascript
-// Example for "LDAP.cfc" in "/models/auth"
-myNewLDAPModel=model("auth.LDAP").new();
-```
-{% endcode %}

-title: Obfuscating URLs
-description: Hide your primary key values from nosy users.
----
-
-# Obfuscating URLs
-
-The Wheels convention of using an auto-incrementing integer value as the primary key in your database tables will lead to a lot of URLs on your website exposing this value. Using the built-in URL obfuscation functionality in Wheels, you can hide this value from nosy users.
-
-### What URL Obfuscation Does
-
-When URL obfuscation is turned off (which is the default setting in Wheels), this is how a lot of your URLs will end up looking:
-
-{% code title="HTTP" %}
-```
-http://localhost:8080/user/profile/99
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Here, `99` is the primary key value of a record in your users table.
-
-After enabling URL obfuscation, this is how those URLs will look instead:
-
-{% code title="HTTP" %}
-```
-http://localhost:8080/user/profile/b7ab9a50
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The value `99` has now been obfuscated by Wheels to `b7ab9a50`. This makes it harder for nosy users to substitute the value to see how many records are in your users table, to name just one example.
-
-### How to Use It
-
-To turn on URL obfuscation, all you have to do is call `set(obfuscateURLs=true)` in the `/config/settings.cfm` file.
-
-Once you do that, Wheels will handle everything else. Obviously, the main things Wheels does is obfuscate the primary key value when using the [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) function and deobfuscate it on the receiving end. Wheels will also obfuscate all other params sent in to [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) as well as any value in a form sent using a get request.
-
-In some circumstances, you will need to obfuscate and deobfuscate values yourself if you link to pages without using the [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) function, for example. In these cases, you can use the `obfuscateParam()` and `deObfuscateParam()` functions to do the job for you.
-
-### Is This Really Secure?
-
-No, this is not meant to add a high level of security to your application. It just obfuscates the values, making casual observation harder. It does not encrypt values, so keep that in mind when using this approach.
-
-For instance, unless you specify it in your `/config/routes.cfm` file, you can still directly access numeric keys in the URL, e.g. `/users/view/99`; However, there is a small work around you can implement to prevent this at least, using the routes `constraints` argument.
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-  .resources(name = "users", constraints = { key = "\w+\d+" } )
-  .root( to="home##index", method="get")
-.end();
-```
-
-This uses Regex to ensure the `params.key` argument is an alpha numeric key and not just purely numeric: otherwise the route won't match.

-title: Rate Limiting
----
-# Rate Limiting
-
-Rate limiting protects your application from abuse by restricting how many requests a client can make within a time window. Wheels provides a built-in `RateLimiter` middleware with multiple strategies and storage backends.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-Add the rate limiter to your global middleware stack in `config/settings.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(maxRequests=60, windowSeconds=60)
-]);
-```
-
-This allows 60 requests per minute per client IP, using the fixed window strategy with in-memory storage.
-
-## Configuration Reference
-
-| Parameter | Default | Description |
-|-----------|---------|-------------|
-| `maxRequests` | `60` | Maximum requests allowed per window |
-| `windowSeconds` | `60` | Duration of the rate limit window in seconds |
-| `strategy` | `"fixedWindow"` | Algorithm: `"fixedWindow"`, `"slidingWindow"`, or `"tokenBucket"` |
-| `storage` | `"memory"` | Backend: `"memory"` or `"database"` |
-| `keyFunction` | `""` | Closure `function(request)` returning a string key. Defaults to client IP |
-| `headerPrefix` | `"X-RateLimit"` | Prefix for rate limit response headers |
-| `trustProxy` | `true` | Use `X-Forwarded-For` for client IP resolution |
-
-## Strategies
-
-### Fixed Window
-
-Divides time into discrete buckets (e.g., 0:00–0:59, 1:00–1:59). Simple and memory-efficient.
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(strategy="fixedWindow")
-```
-
-**Best for**: Most applications. Simple to understand and debug.
-
-**Trade-off**: A client could send `maxRequests` at the end of one window and `maxRequests` at the start of the next, effectively doubling throughput at the boundary.
-
-### Sliding Window
-
-Maintains a log of request timestamps per client. More accurate than fixed window — the window slides with each request.
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(strategy="slidingWindow")
-```
-
-**Best for**: Applications requiring precise rate enforcement without boundary spikes.
-
-**Trade-off**: Uses more memory per client (stores individual timestamps).
-
-### Token Bucket
-
-Each client has a bucket that fills with tokens at a steady rate. Each request consumes one token. Allows controlled bursts up to `maxRequests`.
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(strategy="tokenBucket")
-```
-
-**Best for**: APIs where you want to allow occasional bursts while maintaining a long-term average rate.
-
-**Trade-off**: Slightly more complex state per client (token count + last refill time).
-
-## Storage Backends
-
-### In-Memory (Default)
-
-Uses a `ConcurrentHashMap` for thread-safe storage. Stale entries are automatically cleaned up once per minute.
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(storage="memory")
-```
-
-**Note**: Counters are lost on server restart and are not shared across multiple application servers. Suitable for single-server deployments or when approximate limiting is acceptable.
-
-### Database
-
-Stores rate limit data in a `wheels_rate_limits` table that is auto-created on first use.
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(storage="database")
-```
-
-**Note**: Shared across all servers in a cluster. Adds a database query per request. Suitable for multi-server deployments where consistent limiting is required.
-
-## Route-Scoped Rate Limiting
-
-Apply different limits to different parts of your application using route middleware:
-
-```cfm
-// config/routes.cfm
-mapper()
-    // Strict limit on authentication endpoints.
-    .scope(path="/auth", middleware=[
-        new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(maxRequests=10, windowSeconds=60)
-    ])
-        .post(name="login", to="sessions##create")
-        .post(name="register", to="users##create")
-    .end()
-
-    // More generous limit on API endpoints.
-    .scope(path="/api", middleware=[
-        new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(maxRequests=100, windowSeconds=60)
-    ])
-        .resources("users")
-        .resources("products")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-## Custom Key Functions
-
-By default, the rate limiter identifies clients by IP address. You can customize this with a `keyFunction`:
-
-```cfm
-// Rate limit by API key from request header.
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
-    keyFunction=function(request) {
-        if (StructKeyExists(request, "cgi") && StructKeyExists(request.cgi, "http_x_api_key")) {
-            return "api:" & request.cgi.http_x_api_key;
-        }
-        return "anon:" & cgi.remote_addr;
-    }
-)
-
-// Rate limit by authenticated user ID.
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
-    keyFunction=function(request) {
-        if (StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
-            return "user:" & session.userId;
-        }
-        return "anon:" & cgi.remote_addr;
-    }
-)
-```
-
-## Response Headers
-
-Every response includes rate limit headers:
-
-| Header | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `X-RateLimit-Limit` | Maximum requests allowed per window |
-| `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests remaining in the current window |
-| `X-RateLimit-Reset` | Unix timestamp when the window resets |
-
-When a request is rate limited, the response includes:
-
-| Header | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `Retry-After` | Seconds until the client can retry |
-
-The status code is `429 Too Many Requests` with a plain text body.
-
-The header prefix can be customized:
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(headerPrefix="X-MyApp-RateLimit")
-// Produces: X-MyApp-RateLimit-Limit, X-MyApp-RateLimit-Remaining, etc.
-```
-
-## Multi-Server Deployments
-
-With in-memory storage, each server maintains its own counters. If you have 3 servers behind a load balancer, a client could theoretically make `maxRequests × 3` total requests.
-
-For consistent rate limiting across servers, use database storage:
-
-```cfm
-new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
-    storage="database",
-    maxRequests=60,
-    windowSeconds=60
-)
-```
-
-The `wheels_rate_limits` table is auto-created on first use. No migration needed.
-
-## Thread Safety
-
-The in-memory implementation uses per-client locking (`cflock`) to ensure accurate counting under concurrent requests. If a lock cannot be acquired within 1 second (indicating extreme contention), the request is allowed through (fail-open). This prevents the rate limiter itself from becoming a bottleneck.

-title: Redirecting Users
-description: Use redirection to keep your application user friendly.
----
-
-# Redirecting Users
-
-When a user submits a form, you do not want to show any content on the page that handles the form submission! Why? Because if you do, and the user hits refresh in their browser, the form handling code could be triggered again, possibly causing duplicate entries in your database, multiple emails being sent, etc.
-
-### Remember to Redirect
-
-To avoid the above problem, it is recommended to always redirect the user after submitting a form. In Wheels this is done with the [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) function. It is basically a wrapper around the `cflocation` tag in CFML.
-
-Being that [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) is a Wheels function, it can accept the `route, controller, action`, and `key` arguments so that you can easily redirect
-to other actions in your application.
-
-### Three Ways to Redirect
-
-Let's look at the three ways you can redirect in Wheels.
-
-### 1. Redirecting to Another Action
-
-You can redirect the user to another action in your application simply by passing in the `controller, action`, and `key` arguments. You can also pass in any other arguments that are accepted by the [URLFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.urlfor.html) function, like host, params, etc. (The [URLFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.urlfor.html) function is what Wheels uses internally to produce the URL to redirect to.)
-
-### 2. Redirection Using Routes
-
-If you have configured any routes in `/config/routes.cfm`, you can use them when redirecting as well. Just pass in the route's name to the route argument together with any additional arguments needed for the route in question. You can read more about routing in the [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) chapter.
-
-### 3. Redirecting to the Referring URL
-
-It's very common that all you want to do when a user submits a form is send them back to where they came from. (Think of a user posting a comment on a blog post and then being redirected back to view the post with their new comment visible as well.) For this, we have the `back` argument. Simply pass in `back=true` to [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html), and the user will be redirected back to the page they came from.
-
-### Handling an Invalid Referrer
-
-The referring URL is retrieved from the `cgi.http_referer` value. If this value is blank or comes from a different domain than the current one, Wheels will redirect the visitor to the root of your website instead.
-
-If you want to specify exactly where to send the visitor when the referring domain is blank/foreign, you can pass in the normal [URLFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.urlfor.html) arguments like `route, controller, action`, etc. These will be used only when Wheels can't redirect to the referrer because it's invalid.
-
-### Appending Params
-
-Sometimes it's useful to be able to send the visitor back to the same URL they came from but with extra parameters added to it. You can do this by using the `params` argument. Note that Wheels will append to the URL and not replace it in this case.
-
-### The `addToken` and `statusCode` Arguments
-
-The [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) function uses `<cflocation>` under the hood; if you need to pass client variable information automatically in the URL for client management purposes, simply set `addToken=true`.&#x20;
-
-You can also set the type of redirect to something other than the default `302` redirect, by passing in `statusCode=3xx`. For example, `301` indicates a permanent redirect.

-title: Rendering Content
-description: Showing content to the user.
----
-
-# Rendering Content
-
-A big part of a controller's task is to respond to the user. In Wheels you can respond to the user in three different ways:
-
-* Displaying content
-* Redirecting to another URL
-* Sending a file
-
-You can only respond once per request. If you do not explicitly call any of the response functions ( [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html), [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) etc) then Wheels will assume that you want to show the view for the current controller and action and do it for you.
-
-This chapter covers the first method listed above displaying content. The chapters about [Redirecting Users](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/redirecting-users) and [Sending Files](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/sending-files) cover the other two response methods.
-
-### Rendering a Page
-
-This is the most common way of responding to the user. It's done with the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function, but most often you probably won't call it yourself and instead let Wheels do it for you.
-
-Sometimes you will want to call it though and specify to show a view page for a controller/action other than the current one. One common technique for handling
-a form submission, for example, is to show the view page for the controller/action that contains the form (as opposed to the one that just handles the form submission and redirects the user afterwards). When doing this, it's very important to keep in mind that [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) will **not run the code** for the controller's action, all it does is process the view page for it.
-
-You can also call [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) explicitly if you wish to cache the response or use a different layout than the default one.
-
-If the `controller` and `action` arguments do not give you enough flexibility, you can use the `template` argument that is available for [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html).
-
-Refer to the [Pages](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/pages) chapter for more details about rendering content. More specifically, that chapter describes where to place those files and what goes in them.
-
-### Rendering a Partial
-
-This is done with the [renderPartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderpartial.html) function. It's most often used with AJAX requests that are meant to update only parts of a page.
-
-### Rendering Nothing at All
-
-Sometimes you don't need to return anything at all to the browser. Perhaps you've made an AJAX request that does not require a response or executed a scheduled task that no end user sees the results of. In these cases you can use the [renderNothing()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.rendernothing.html) function to tell Wheels to just render an empty page to the browser.
-
-### Rendering Text
-
-This is done with the [renderText()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.rendertext.html) function. It just returns the text you specify. In reality it is rarely used but could be useful as a response to AJAX requests sometimes.
-
-### Rendering to a Variable
-
-Normally when you call any of the rendering functions, the result is stored inside an internal Wheels variable. This value is then output to the browser at the end of the request.
-
-Sometimes you may want to do some additional processing on the rendering result before outputting it though. This is where the `returnAs` argument comes in handy. It's available on both [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) and [renderPartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderpartial.html). Setting `returnAs` to `string` will return the result to you instead of placing it in the internal Wheels variable.
-
-### Caching the Response
-
-Two of the functions listed above are capable of caching the content for you; [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) and [renderPartial()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderpartial.html). Just pass in `cache=true` (to use the default cache time set in `/config/settings.cfm`) or `cache=x` where `x` is the number of minutes you want to cache the content for. Keep in mind that this caching respects the global setting set for it in your configuration files so normally no pages will be cached when in Design or Development mode.
-
-We cover caching in greater detail in the [Caching](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/caching) chapter.
-
-### Using a Layout
-
-The [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function accepts an argument named `layout`. Using this you can wrap your content with common header/footer style code. This is such an important concept though so we'll cover all the details of it in the chapter called [Using Layouts](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/layouts).
-
-### Rendering Server-Sent Events (SSE)
-
-Wheels includes built-in support for Server-Sent Events, a standard for pushing real-time updates from the server to the browser. See the dedicated [Server-Sent Events](/v4-0-0-snapshot/handling-requests-with-controllers/server-sent-events/) chapter for full details.
-
-For a quick overview, use `renderSSE()` to send a single event response:
-
-```javascript
-function notifications() {
-    var data = model("Notification").findAll(where="userId=#params.userId# AND sent=0");
-    renderSSE(data=SerializeJSON(data), event="notifications");
-}
-```
-
-Or use `initSSEStream()` for streaming multiple events over a long-lived connection:
-
-```javascript
-function stream() {
-    var writer = initSSEStream();
-    var items = model("Activity").findAll(where="new=1");
-    for (var item in items) {
-        sendSSEEvent(writer=writer, data=SerializeJSON(item), event="update", id=item.id);
-    }
-    closeSSEStream(writer=writer);
-}
-```

-title: Request Handling
-description: How Wheels handles an incoming request
----
-
-# Request Handling
-
-Wheels is quite simple when it comes to figuring out how incoming requests map to code in your application. Let's look at a URL for an e-commerce website and dissect it a little.
-
-But before we do that, a quick introduction to URLs in Wheels is in order.
-
-### A Wheels URL
-
-URLs in Wheels generally look something like this:
-
-```
-http://localhost:8080/index.cfm/shop/products
-```
-
-It's also possible that the URLs will look like this in your application:
-
-```
-http://localhost:8080/index.cfm?controller=shop&action=products
-```
-
-This happens when your web server does not support the `cgi.path_info` variable.
-
-Regardless of your specific setup, Wheels will try to figure out how to handle the URLs. If Wheels fails to do this properly (i.e. you _know_ that your web server supports `cgi.path_info`, but Wheels insists on creating the URLs with the query string format), you can override it by setting `URLRewriting` in `/config/settings.cfm` to either `On, Partial`, or `Off`. The line of code should look something like this:
-
-```javascript
-set(URLRewriting="Partial");
-```
-
-"Partial URL Rewriting" is what we call that first URL up there with the `/index.cfm/` format.
-
-In the example URLs used above, `shop` is the name of the controller to call, and `products` is the name of the action to call on that controller.
-
-### Model-View-Controller Explained
-
-Unless you're familiar with the Model-View-Controller pattern, you're probably wondering what controllers and actions are.
-
-Put very simply, a _controller_ takes an incoming request and, based on the parameters in the URL, decides what (if any) data to get from the model (which in most cases means your database), and decides which view (which in most cases means a CFML file producing HTML output) to display to the user.
-
-An _action_ is an entire process of executing code in the controller, including a view file and rendering the result to the browser. As you will see in the example below, an action usually maps directly to one specific function with the same name in the controller file.
-
-### Creating URLs
-
-Mapping an incoming URL to code is only one side of the equation. You will also need a way to create these URLs. This is done through a variety of different functions like [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) (for creating links), [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startformtag.html) (for creating forms), and [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) (for redirecting users), to name a few.
-
-Internally, all of these functions use the same code to create the URL, namely the [URLFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.urlfor.html) function. The [URLFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.urlfor.html) function accepts a controller and an action argument, which are what you will use most of the time. It has a lot of other arguments and does some neat stuff (like defaulting to the current controller when you don't specifically pass one in). So check out the documentation for the [URLFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.urlfor.html) function for all the details.
-
-By the way, by using URL rewriting in Apache or IIS, you can completely get rid of the `index.cfm` part of the URL so that `http://localhost:8080/index.cfm/shop/products` becomes `http://localhost:8080/shop/products`. You can read more about this in the [URL Rewriting](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/README) chapter.
-
-For the remainder of this chapter, we'll type out the URLs in this shorter and prettier way.
-
-### A Wheels Page
-
-Let's look a little closer at what happens when Wheels receives this example incoming request.
-
-First, it will create an instance of the `shop` controller (`/app/controllers/Shop.cfc`) and call the function inside it named `products`.
-
-Let's show how the code for the `products` function could look to make it more clear what goes on:
-
-{% code title="Shop.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function products() {
-        renderView(controller="shop", action="products");
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The only thing this does is specify the view page to render using the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function.
-
-The [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function is available to you because the `shop` controller extends the main Wheels `Controller`component. Don't forget to include that `extends` attribute in your `cfcomponent` call as you build your controllers!
-
-So, how does [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) work? Well, it accepts the arguments `controller` and `action` (among others, such as `route`), and, based on these, it will try to include a view file. In our case, the view file is stored at `/app/views/shop/products.cfm`.
-
-You can read the chapter about [Rendering Content](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/rendering-content) for more information about the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function.
-
-It's important to note that the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function does not cause any controller actions or functions to be executed. It just specifies what view files to get content from. Keep this in mind going forward because it's a common assumption that it does. (Especially when you want to include the view page for another action, it's easy to jump to the incorrect conclusion that the code for that action would also get executed.)
-
-### Wheels Conventions
-
-Because Wheels favors convention over configuration, we can remove a lot of the code in the example above, and it will still work because Wheels will just guess what your intention is. Let's have a quick look at exactly what code can be removed and why.
-
-The first thing Wheels assumes is that if you call [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) without arguments, you want to include the view page for the **current** controller and action.
-
-Therefore, the code above can be changed to:
-
-{% code title="Shop.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function products() {
-        renderView();
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-… and it will still work just fine.
-
-Does Wheels assume anything else? Sure it does. You can actually remove the entire [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) call because Wheels will assume that you always want to call a view page when the processing in the controller is done. Wheels will call it for you behind the scenes.
-
-That leaves you with this code:
-
-{% code title="Shop.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function products() { 
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-That looks rather silly, a `products` function with no code whatsoever. What do you think will happen if you just remove that entire function, leaving you with this code?
-
-{% code title="Shop.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" { 
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-…If you guessed that Wheels will just assume you don't need any code for the `products` action and just want the view rendered directly, then you are correct.
-
-In fact, if you have a completely blank controller like the one above, you can delete it from the file system altogether!
-
-This is quite useful when you're just adding simple pages to a website and you don't need the controller and model to be involved at all. For example, you can create a file named `about.cfm` in the `/app/views/home` folder and access it at `http://localhost:8080/home/about` without having to create a specific controller and/or action for it, assuming you're still using wildcard routing.
-
-This also highlights the fact that Wheels is a very easy framework to get started in because you can basically program just as you normally would by creating simple pages like this and then gradually "Wheelsifying" your code as you learn the framework.
-
-### The `params` Struct
-
-Besides making sure the correct code is executed, Wheels also does something else to simplify request handling for you. It combines the `url` and `form` scopes into one. This is something that most CFML frameworks do as well. In Wheels, it is done in the `params` struct.
-
-The `params` struct is available to you in the controller and view files but not in the model files. (It's considered a best practice to not mix your request handling with your business logic.) Besides the `form` and `url` scope variables, the `params` struct also contains the current controller and action name for easy reference.
-
-If the same variable exists in both the `url` and `form` scopes, the value in the form scope will take precedence.
-
-To make this concept easier to grasp, imagine a login form on your website that submits to `http://localhost:8080/account/login?sendTo=dashboard` with the variables `username` and `password` present in the form. Your `params` struct would look like this:
-
-| Name              | Value     |
-| ----------------- | --------- |
-| params.controller | account   |
-| params.action     | login     |
-| params.sendTo     | dashboard |
-| params.username   | joe       |
-| params.password   | 1234      |
-
-Now instead of accessing the variables as `url.sendTo`, `form.username`, etc., you can just use the `params` struct for all of them instead.
-
-This concept becomes even more useful once we start getting into creating forms specifically meant for accessing object properties. But let's save the details of all that for the [Form Helpers and Showing Errors](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/form-helpers-and-showing-errors) chapter.
-
-### JSON as part of the request body
-
-If you're constructing a JSON API, you're inevitably going to come across how to deal with "incoming" json packets to your routing endpoints. Instead of having to test each request with whether it's valid json etc, Wheels will automatically map the JSON body in a request to the params struct, as long as it has `application/json` as it's mime type.
-
-So in the same way that the `url` and `form` scopes are merged, so a valid `json` body would be. The exception to the rule is when a javascript array is the root element, where it's then added to `params._json` to follow Rails conventions. (For obvious reasons, we can't merge an array into a struct!)
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### NOTE
-
-When a JSON array is the root element, it is mapped to `params._json` following Rails conventions.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Routing
-
-For more advanced URL-to-code mappings, you are encouraged to use a concept called _routing_.
-It allows for you to fully customize every URL in your application, including which HTTP verb can be used. You can read more about this in the chapter called [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing).

-title: Responding with Multiple Formats
-description: >-
-  Wheels controllers provide some powerful mechanisms for responding to
-  requests for content in XML, JSON, and other formats. You can build an API
-  with ease using these functions.
----
-
-# Responding with Multiple Formats
-
-If you've ever needed to create an XML or JSON API for your Wheels application,\
-you may have needed to go down the path of creating a separate controller or\
-separate actions for the new format. This introduces the need to duplicate model\
-calls or even break them out into a super long list of before filters. With\
-this, your controllers can get pretty hairy pretty fast.
-
-Using a few Wheels functions, you can easily respond to requests for HTML, XML,\
-JSON, and PDF formats without adding unnecessary bloat to your controllers.
-
-### Requesting Different Formats
-
-With Wheels Provides functionality in place, you can request different formats\
-using the following methods:
-
-1. URL Variable
-2. URL Extension
-3. Request Header
-
-Which formats you can request is determined by what you configure in the\
-controller. See the section below on _Responding to Different Formats in the _Controller_ for more details.
-
-#### URL Variable
-
-Wheels will accept a URL variable called `format`. If you wanted to request the\
-XML version of an action, for example, your URL call would look something like\
-this:
-
-```
-http://www.example.com/products?format=xml
-```
-
-The same would go for JSON:
-
-```
-http://www.example.com/products?format=json
-```
-
-#### URL Extension
-
-Perhaps a cleaner way is to request the format as a "file" extension. Here are\
-the XML and JSON examples, respectively:
-
-```
-http://www.example.com/products.xml
-http://www.example.com/products.json
-```
-
-This works similarly to the _URL variable_ approach mentioned above in that\
-there will now be a key in the `params` struct set to the `format` requested.\
-With the XML example, there will be a variable at `params.format` with a value\
-of `xml`.
-
-#### Request Header
-
-If you are calling the Wheels application as a web service, you can also request\
-a given format via the HTTP `Accept` header.
-
-If you are consuming the service with another Wheels application, your\
-`<cfhttp>` call would look something like this:
-
-In this example, we are sending an `Accept` header with the value for the `xml`\
-format.
-
-```html
-<cfhttp url="http://www.example.com/products">
-    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Accept" value="application/octet-stream">
-</cfhttp>
-```
-
-Here is a list of values that you can grab from [mimeTypes()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.mimeTypes.html) with Wheels out\
-of the box.
-
-* `html`
-* `xml`
-* `json`
-* `csv`
-* `pdf`
-* `xls`
-
-You can use [addFormat()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.addformat.html) to set more types to the appropriate MIME type for reference. For example, we could set a Microsoft Word MIME type in\
-`/config/settings.cfm` like so:
-
-```javascript
-addFormat(extension="doc", mimeType="application/msword");
-```
-
-### Responding to Different Formats in the Controller
-
-The fastest way to get going with creating your new API and formats is to call\
-[provides()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.provides.html) from within your controller's `config()` method.
-
-Take a look at this example:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-  function config(){
-    provides("html,json,xml");
-  }
-
-  function index(){
-    products = model("product").findAll(order="title");
-    renderWith(products);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-By calling the [provides()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.provides.html) function in `config()`, you are instructing the Wheels controller to be ready to provide content in a number of formats.\
-Possible choices to add to the list are `html` (which runs by default), `xml`,\
-`json`, `csv`, `pdf`, and `xls`.
-
-This is coupled with a call to [renderwith()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderwith.html) in the following actions. In the example above, we are setting a query result of products and passing it\
-to [renderwith()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderwith.html). By passing our data to this function, Wheels gives us the ability to respond to requests for different formats, and it even gives us the option to just let Wheels handle the generation of certain formats automatically.
-
-You can also use the [onlyProvides()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.onlyProvides.html) call in an individual controller action to define which formats the action will respond with. This can be used to define behavior in individual actions or to override the controller's `config()`.
-
-When Wheels handles this response, it will set the appropriate MIME type in the\
-`Content-Type` HTTP header as well.
-
-### Providing the HTML Format
-
-Responding to requests for the HTML version is the same as you're already used to with [Rendering Content](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/rendering-content). [renderwith()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderwith.html) will accept the same arguments as [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html), and you create just a view template in the `views` folder like normal.
-
-### Automatic Generation of XML and JSON Formats
-
-If the requested format is `xml` or `json`, the [renderwith()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderwith.html) function will automatically transform the data that you provide it. If you're fine with what the function produces, then you're done!
-
-**Best Practices for Providing JSON**
-
-Unfortunately there have been a lot of JSON related issues in CFML over the years. To avoid as many of these problems as possible we thought we'd outline some best practices for you to follow.
-
-First of all, always return data as an array of structs. This is done by using the `returnAs` argument (on [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) for example), like this:
-
-```javascript
-authors = model("author").findAll(returnAs="structs");
-```
-
-The reason for doing it this way is that it will preserve the case for the struct / JSON keys.
-
-Secondly, make use of Wheels ability to return the JSON values in a specified type. This is done in the [renderWith()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderwith.html) function, like this:
-
-```javascript
-renderWith(data=authors, firstName="string", booksForSale="integer");
-```
-
-With that in place you can be sure that `firstName` will always be treated as a string (i.e. wrap in double quotes) and `booksForSale` as an integer (i.e. no decimal places) when producing the JSON output. Without this, your CFML engine might guess what the data type is, and it wouldn't always be correct unfortunately.
-
-### Providing Your Own Custom Responses
-
-If you need to provide content for another type than `xml` or `json`, or if you\
-need to customize what your Wheels application generates, you have that option.
-
-In your controller's corresponding folder in `/app/views`, all you need to do is\
-implement a view file like so:
-
-| Type | Example                                              |
-| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
-| html | /app/views/products/index.cfm      |
-| xml  | /app/views/products/index.xml.cfm  |
-| json | /app/views/products/index.json.cfm |
-| csv  | /app/views/products/index.csv.cfm  |
-| pdf  | /app/views/products/index.pdf.cfm  |
-| xls  | /app/views/products/index.xls.cfm  |
-
-If you need to implement your own XML-based or JSON-based output, the presence of\
-your new custom view file will override the automatic generation that Wheels\
-normally performs.
-
-**Example: PDF Generation**
-
-If you need to provide a PDF version of the product catalog, the view file at\
-`/app/views/products/index.pdf.cfm` may look something like this:
-
-HTML
-
-```html
-<cfdocument format="pdf">
-    <h1>Products</h1>
-    <table>
-        <thead>
-            <tr>
-                <th>Name</th>
-                <th>Description</th>
-                <th>Price</th>
-            </tr>
-        </thead>
-        <tbody>
-            #includePartial(products)#
-        </tbody>
-    </table>
-</cfdocument>
-```
-
-### Error Handling with Multiple Formats
-
-When an error occurs in your application, Wheels will automatically respond with an error in the same format as the original request. This ensures consistent API behavior across all supported formats.
-
-For example:
-
-- If a request is made to `/products.json` and an error occurs, the error response will be returned as JSON
-- If a request is made to `/products.xml` and an error occurs, the error response will be returned as XML
-- If a request is made with an `Accept: application/json` header and an error occurs, the error response will be JSON
-
-Wheels provides default error templates for different formats that can be executed when `showErrorInformation` is set to false (like in `production` environment):
-
-- `/app/events/onerror.cfm` - HTML error page (default)
-- `/app/events/onerror.json.cfm` - JSON error response
-- `/app/events/onerror.xml.cfm` - XML error response
-
-You can customize these templates to provide more specific error information or branding for your application. The error response will automatically include the appropriate `Content-Type` header matching the requested format.

-title: Route Model Binding
----
-# Route Model Binding
-
-Route model binding automatically resolves model instances from route `key` parameters during dispatch, before your controller action runs. Instead of manually looking up records in every action, Wheels does it for you.
-
-## The Problem
-
-Without route model binding, every controller action that works with a specific record starts with the same boilerplate:
-
-```cfm
-// app/controllers/Users.cfc
-function show() {
-    user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-    if (IsBoolean(user) && !user) {
-        redirectTo(route="users");
-    }
-}
-
-function edit() {
-    user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-    if (IsBoolean(user) && !user) {
-        redirectTo(route="users");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## The Solution
-
-With route model binding enabled, the resolved model instance is automatically available in `params`:
-
-```cfm
-// config/routes.cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="users", binding=true)
-.end();
-
-// app/controllers/Users.cfc
-function show() {
-    // params.user is already a User model instance!
-    // If the record doesn't exist, a 404 is automatically returned.
-    user = params.user;
-}
-```
-
-## Enabling Route Model Binding
-
-### Per-Route (Recommended)
-
-Add `binding=true` to individual resource declarations:
-
-```cfm
-// config/routes.cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="users", binding=true)
-    .resources(name="posts", binding=true)
-    .resources("comments")  // no binding on this resource
-.end();
-```
-
-### Globally
-
-Enable for all resource routes at once:
-
-```cfm
-// config/settings.cfm
-set(routeModelBinding=true);
-```
-
-Per-route `binding=false` can override the global setting:
-
-```cfm
-set(routeModelBinding=true);
-
-// In routes.cfm — comments won't have binding even though global is on
-mapper()
-    .resources("users")                         // binding enabled (global)
-    .resources(name="comments", binding=false)   // binding disabled (per-route)
-.end();
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-1. **Convention:** The controller name is singularized and capitalized to derive the model name. `posts` controller → `Post` model.
-2. **Lookup:** `model("Post").findByKey(params.key)` is called automatically.
-3. **Storage:** The resolved instance is stored in `params` under the singular name: `params.post`.
-4. **404 Handling:** If no record is found, Wheels throws `Wheels.RecordNotFound` which renders a 404 page.
-5. **No key, no binding:** Actions without a `key` parameter (like `index` and `create`) are unaffected.
-
-## Explicit Model Name
-
-If your controller name doesn't match your model name, specify the model explicitly:
-
-```cfm
-// "writers" controller, but the model is "Author"
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="writers", binding="Author")
-.end();
-
-// In the controller, the resolved model uses the model name:
-// params.author (not params.writer)
-```
-
-## Scoped Binding
-
-Binding inherits through route scopes, so you can enable it for an entire API namespace:
-
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .scope(path="/api", binding=true)
-        .resources("users")    // binding enabled
-        .resources("posts")    // binding enabled
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-When a record is not found, Wheels throws a `Wheels.RecordNotFound` error. In development mode, you'll see a detailed error page. In production, this renders your 404 page.
-
-If binding is enabled on a route whose controller doesn't correspond to a model (e.g., a `settings` controller with no `Setting` model), binding is silently skipped — no error is thrown.
-
-## What's in params?
-
-| Scenario | `params.key` | `params.<model>` |
-|----------|-------------|------------------|
-| Binding enabled, record found | `"42"` (preserved) | Model instance |
-| Binding enabled, no key param | N/A | Not set |
-| Binding disabled | `"42"` (preserved) | Not set |
-| No matching model class | `"42"` (preserved) | Not set |
-
-## Limitations
-
-- **Single resource only:** Nested parent resources are not automatically resolved. `/users/5/posts/3` resolves `Post` from `params.key` but does not resolve `User` from `params.userKey`.
-- **Primary key only:** Binding uses `findByKey()`. Slug-based or custom lookups should use a before filter.
-- **Soft deletes:** Uses default `findByKey()` behavior, which excludes soft-deleted records.

-title: Routing
-description: >-
-  The routing system in Wheels encourages a conventional RESTful and
-  resourceful style of request handling.
----
-
-# Routing
-
-The Wheels routing system inspects a request's HTTP verb and URL and decides which controller and action to run.
-
-Consider the following request:
-
-{% code title="HTTP" %}
-```http
-GET /products/5
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The routing system may match the request to a route like this, which tells Wheels to load the `show` action on the `Products` controller:
-
-```javascript
-.get(name="product", pattern="products/[key]", to="products##show")
-```
-
-### Configuring Routes
-
-To configure routes, open the file at `/config/routes.cfm`.
-
-The Wheels router begins with a call to [mapper()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.mapper.html), various methods chained from that, and lastly ends with a call to `end()`.
-
-In many cases, if you need to know where to go in the code to work with existing functionality in an application, the `routes.cfm` file can be a handy map, telling you which controller and action to start looking in.
-
-### How Routes Work
-
-The various route mapping methods that we'll introduce in this chapter basically set up a list of routes, matching URL paths to a controllers and actions within your application.
-
-The terminology goes like this:
-
-#### Name
-
-A route _name_ is set up for reference in your CFML code for building [links](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/linking-pages), [forms](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/form-helpers-and-showing-errors), and such. To build URLs, you'll use this name along with helpers like [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html), [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startformtag.html), [urlFor()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.urlfor.html), and so on.
-
-#### Method
-
-A HTTP request _method_ must be defined: `GET`, `POST`, `PATCH`, or `DELETE`.
-
-You typically want to require `POST`, `PATCH`, or `DELETE` when a given action changes the state of your application's data:
-
-* Creating record(s): `POST`
-* Updating record(s): `PATCH`
-* Deleting record(s): `DELETE`
-
-You can permit listing and showing records behind a normal HTTP `GET` request method.
-
-#### Pattern and Parameters
-
-A _pattern_ is a URL path, sometimes with _parameters_ in `[squareBrackets]`. Parameter values get sent to the controller in the `params` struct.
-
-You'll see patterns like these in routes:
-
-{% code title="Example Route Patterns" %}
-```
-posts/[key]/[slug]
-posts/[key]
-posts
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In this example, `key` and `slug` are parameters that must be present in the URL for the first route to match, and they are required when linking to the route. In the controller, these parameters will be available at `params.key` and `params.slug`, respectively.&#x20;
-
-When a request is made to Wheels, the router will look for the first route that matches the requested URL. As an example, this means that if `key` is present in the URL but not `slug`, then it's the second route above that will match.
-
-{% hint style="warning" %}
-Please note that `.` is treated as a special characters in patterns and should generally not be used (one exception being when you are [responding with multiple formats](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/responding-with-multiple-formats)). If your parameters may have `.` in their value, please use the long form URL format: `/?controller=[controller_name]&action=[action_name]&[parameter_name]=[parameter_value]`
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Viewing a List of Routes
-
-In the debugging footer, you'll see a **Routes** link:
-
-> \[info, **View Routes**, Docs, Tests, Migrator, Plugins]
-
-Clicking that will load a filterable list of routes drawn in the `/config/routes.cfm` file, including name, method, pattern, controller, and action.
-
-If you don't see debugging information at the bottom of the page, see the docs for the `showDebugInformation` setting in the [Configuration and Defaults](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults) chapter.
-
-### Resource Routing
-
-Many parts of your application will likely be CRUD-based (create, read, update, delete) for specific types of records (users, products, categories). _Resources_ allow you to define a conventional routing structure for this common use case.
-
-{% hint style="warning" %}
-#### Resources are important
-
-You'll want to pay close attention to how resource-based routing works because this is considered an important convention in Wheels applications.
-{% endhint %}
-
-If we have a `products` table and want to have a section of our application for managing the products, we can set up the routes using the [resources()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.resources.html) method like this in `/config/routes.cfm`:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources("products")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This will set up the following routes, pointing to specific actions within the `products` controller:
-
-| Name        | HTTP Verb | Path                  | Controller & Action | Description                                    |
-| ----------- | --------- | --------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
-| products    | GET       | /products             | products.index      | Display a list of all products                 |
-| product     | GET       | /products/\[key]      | products.show       | Display a specific product                     |
-| newProduct  | GET       | /products/new         | products.new        | Display a form for creating a new product      |
-| products    | POST      | /products             | products.create     | Create a new product record                    |
-| editProduct | GET       | /products/\[key]/edit | products.edit       | Display a form for editing an existing product |
-| product     | PATCH/PUT | /products/\[key]      | products.update     | Update an existing product record              |
-| product     | DELETE    | /products/\[key]      | products.delete     | Delete an existing product record              |
-
-Because the router uses a combination of HTTP verb and path, we only need 4 different URL paths to connect to 7 different actions on the controller.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### What's with the `PUT`?
-
-There has been some confusion in the web community on whether requests to update data should happen along with a `PUT` or `PATCH` HTTP verb. It has been settled mostly that `PATCH` is the way to go for most situations. Wheels resources set up both `PUT` and `PATCH` to address this confusion, but you should probably prefer linking up `PATCH` when you are able.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Singular Resources
-
-Standard resources using the [resources()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.resources.html) method assume that there is a primary key associated with the resource. (Notice the `[key]` placeholder in the paths listed above in the _Strongly Encouraged: Resource Routing_ section.)
-
-Wheels also provides a _singular_ resource for routing that will not expose a primary key through the URL.
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resource("cart")
-.end();
-```
-
-This is handy especially when you're manipulating records related directly to the user's session (e.g., a profile or a cart can be managed by the user without exposing the primary key of the underlying database records).
-
-Calling [resource()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.resource.html) (notice that there's no "s" on the end) then exposes the following routes:
-
-| Name     | HTTP Verb | Path       | Controller & Action | Description                            |
-| -------- | --------- | ---------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
-| cart     | GET       | /cart      | carts.show          | Display the cart                       |
-| newCart  | GET       | /cart/new  | carts.new           | Display a form for creating a new cart |
-| cart     | POST      | /cart      | carts.create        | Create a new cart record               |
-| editCart | GET       | /cart/edit | carts.edit          | Display a form for editing the cart    |
-| cart     | PATCH/PUT | /cart      | carts.update        | Update the cart record                 |
-| cart     | DELETE    | /cart      | carts.delete        | Delete the cart                        |
-
-Note that even though the resource path is singular, the name of the controller is plural by convention.
-
-Also, this example is slightly contrived because it doesn't make much sense to create a "new" cart as a user typically just has one and only one cart tied to their session.
-
-### Defining Individual URL Endpoints
-
-As you've seen, defining a resource creates several routes for you automatically, and it is great for setting up groupings of routes for managing resources within your application.
-
-But sometimes you just need to define a single one-off route pattern. For this case, you have a method for each HTTP verb: [get()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.get.html), [post()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.post.html), [patch()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.patch.html), [put()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.put.html), and [delete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.delete.html).
-
-As a refresher, these are the intended purpose for each HTTP verb:
-
-| HTTP Verb | Meaning                           |
-| --------- | --------------------------------- |
-| GET       | Display a list or record          |
-| POST      | Create a record                   |
-| PATCH/PUT | Update a record or set of records |
-| DELETE    | Delete a record                   |
-
-{% hint style="danger" %}
-#### Security Warning
-
-We strongly recommend that you not allow any `GET` requests to modify resources in your database (i.e., creating, updating, or deleting records). Always require `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, or `DELETE` verbs for those sorts of routing endpoints.
-{% endhint %}
-
-Consider a few examples:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .patch(name="heartbeat", to="sessions##update")
-
-    .patch(
-        name="usersActivate",
-        pattern="users/[userKey]/activations",
-        to="activations##update"
-    )
-
-    .resources("users")
-
-    .get(name="privacy", controller="pages", action="privacy")
-    .get(name="dashboard", controller="dashboards", action="show")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Rather than creating a whole resource for simple one-off actions or pages, you can create individual endpoints for them.
-
-Notice that you can use the `to="controller##action"` or use separate `controller`/`action` arguments. The `to`argument allows you to delineate `controller` and `action` within a single string using a `#` separator (which must be escaped as a double `##` because of CFML's special usage of that symbol within string syntax).
-
-In fact, you could mock a `users` resource using these methods like so (though obviously there is little practical reason for doing so):
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    // The following is roughly equivalent to .resources("users")
-    .get(name="newUser", pattern="users/new", to="users##new")
-    .get(name="editUser", pattern="users/[key]/edit", to="users##edit")
-    .get(name="user", pattern="users/[key]", to="users##show")
-    .patch(name="user", pattern="users/[key]", to="users##update")
-    .put(name="user", pattern="users/[key]", to="users##update")
-    .delete(name="user", pattern="users/[key]", to="users##delete")
-    .post(name="users", to="users##create")
-    .get(name="users", to="users##index")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-If you need to limit the actions that are exposed by [resources()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.resources.html) and [resource()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.resource.html), you can also pass in `only` or `except`arguments:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    // Only offer endpoints for cart show, update, and delete:
-    // -  GET /cart
-    // -  PATCH /cart
-    // -  DELETE /cart
-    .resource(name="cart", only="show,update,delete")
-
-    // Offer all endpoints for wishlists, except for delete:
-    // -  GET /wishlists
-    // -  GET /wishlists/new
-    // -  GET /wishlists/[key]
-    // -  GET /wishlists/[key]/edit
-    // -  POST /wishlists
-    // -  PATCH /wishlists/[key]
-    .resources(name="wishlists", except="delete")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Browser Support for PUT, PATCH, and DELETE
-
-While web standards advocate for usage of these specific HTTP verbs for requests, web browsers don't do a particularly good job of supporting verbs other than `GET` or `POST`.
-
-To get around this, the Wheels router recognizes the specialized verbs from browsers (`PUT`, `PATCH`, and `DELETE`) in this way:
-
-* Via a `POST` request with a
-* `POST` variable named `_method` specifying the specific HTTP verb (e.g., `_method=delete`)
-
-See the chapter on [Linking Pages](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/linking-pages) for strategies for working with this constraint.
-
-Note that using Wheels to write a REST API doesn't typically have this constraint. You should confidently require API clients to use the specific verbs like `PATCH` and `DELETE`.
-
-### Namespaces
-
-The Wheels router allows for _namespaces_: the ability to add a route to a "subfolder" in the URL as well as within the `controllers` folder of your application.
-
-Let's say that we want to have an "admin" section of the application that is separate from other "public" sections. We'd want for all of the "admin" controllers to be within an admin subfolder both in the URL and our application.
-
-That's what the [namespace()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.namespace.html) method is for:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .namespace("admin")
-        .resources("products")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-In this example, we have an admin section that will allow the user to manage products. The URL would expose the products section at `/admin/products`, and the controller would be stored at `/app/controllers/admin/Products.cfc`.
-
-### Packages
-
-Let's say that you want to group a set of controllers together in a subfolder (aka package) in your application but don't want to affect a URL. You can do so using the `package` mapper method:&#x20;
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .package("public")
-        .resources("articles")
-        .resource("profile")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-With this setup, end users will see `/articles` and `/profile` in the URL, but the controllers will be located at `/app/controllers/public/Articles.cfc` and `/app/controllers/public/Profiles.cfc`, respectively.
-
-### Nested Resources
-
-You'll often find yourself implementing a UI where you need to manipulate data scoped to a parent record. Creating nested resources allows you to reflect this nesting relationship in the URL.
-
-Let's consider an example where we want to enable CRUD for a `customer` and its children `appointment` records.
-
-In this situation, we'd perhaps want for our URL to look like this for editing a specific customer's appointment:
-
-{% code title="HTTP" %}
-```
-GET /customers/489/appointments/1909/edit
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-#### Callback Syntax (Recommended)
-
-The recommended way to nest resources is with the `callback` parameter. This clearly scopes the child resources inside the parent:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="customers", callback=function(map) {
-        map.resources("appointments");
-    })
-.end();
-```
-
-#### Manual Nesting with nested=true
-
-You can also nest resources manually using `nested=true` and calling `.end()` to close the parent scope:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="customers", nested=true)
-        .resources("appointments")
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-Both approaches create the same routes:
-
-|                         | HTTP Verb | Path                                               | Controller & Action | Description                                                                |
-| ----------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| newCustomerAppointment  | GET       | /customers/\[customerKey]/appointments/new         | appointments.new    | Display a form for creating a new appointment for a specific customer      |
-| customerAppointment     | GET       | /customers/\[customerKey]/appointments/\[key]      | appointments.show   | Display an existing appointment for a specific customer                    |
-| editCustomerAppointment | GET       | /customers/\[customerKey]/appointments/\[key]/edit | appointments.edit   | Display a form for editing an existing appointment for a specific customer |
-| customerAppointment     | PATCH/PUT | /customers/\[customerKey]/appointments/\[key]      | appointments.update | Update an existing appointment record for a specific customer              |
-| customerAppointment     | DELETE    | /customers/\[customerKey]/appointments/\[key]      | appointments.delete | Delete an existing appointment record for an specific customer             |
-| customerAppointments    | GET       | /customers/\[customerKey]/appointments             | appointments.index  | List appointments for a specific customer                                  |
-| customerAppointments    | POST      | /customers/\[customerKey]/appointments             | appointments.create | Create an appointment record for a specific customer                       |
-| newCustomer             | GET       | /customers/new                                     | customers.new       | Display a form for creating a customer                                     |
-| customer                | GET       | /customers/\[key]                                  | customers.show      | Display an existing customer                                               |
-| editCustomer            | GET       | /customers/\[key]/edit                             | customers.edit      | Display a form for editing an existing customer                            |
-| customer                | PATCH/PUT | /customers/\[key]                                  | customers.update    | Update an existing customer                                                |
-| customer                | DELETE    | /customers/\[key]                                  | customers.delete    | Delete an existing customer                                                |
-| customers               | GET       | /customers                                         | customers.index     | Display a list of all customers                                            |
-| customers               | POST      | /customers                                         | customers.create    | Create a customer                                                          |
-
-Notice that the routes for the `appointments` resource contain a parameter named `customerKey`. The parent resource's ID will always be represented by its name appended with `Key`. The child will retain the standard `key` ID.
-
-You can nest resources and routes as deep as you want, though we recommend considering making the nesting shallower after you get to a few levels deep.
-
-Here's an example of how nesting can be used with different route mapping methods, using callback syntax:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    // /products/[key]
-    .resources(name="products", callback=function(map) {
-        // /products/[productKey]/promote
-        map.patch(name="promote", to="promotions##create");
-        // /products/[productKey]/expire
-        map.delete(name="expire", to="expirations##create");
-
-        // A 2nd-level resource
-        // /products/[productKey]/variations/[key]
-        map.resources(name="variations", callback=function(map2) {
-            // A 3rd-level resource
-            // /products/[productKey]/variations/[variationKey]/primary
-            map2.resource("primary");
-        });
-    })
-.end();
-```
-
-The equivalent using manual `nested=true` syntax:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    // /products/[key]
-    .resources(name="products", nested=true)
-        // /products/[productKey]/promote
-        .patch(name="promote", to="promotions##create")
-        // /products/[productKey]/expire
-        .delete(name="expire", to="expirations##create")
-
-        // A 2nd-level resource
-        // /products/[productKey]/variations/[key]
-        .resources(name="variations", nested=true)
-            // A 3rd-level resource
-            // /products/[productKey]/variations/[variationKey]/primary
-            .resource("primary")
-        .end()
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Callback vs nested=true
-
-The callback syntax is recommended because it clearly scopes child routes inside the parent without requiring manual `.end()` calls. Wheels automatically handles the nesting lifecycle when using callbacks.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Wildcard Routes
-
-Wheels 1.x had a default routing pattern: `[controller]/[action]/[key]`. The convention for URLs was as follows:
-
-{% code title="HTTP" %}
-```http
-GET /news/show/5
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-With this convention, the URL above told Wheels to invoke the `show` action in the `news` controller. It also passed a parameter called `key` to the action, with a value of `5`.
-
-If you're upgrading from 1.x or still prefer this style of routing for your Wheels application, you can use the [wildcard()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.wildcard.html) method to enable it part of it:&#x20;
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .wildcard()
-.end();
-```
-
-Wheels will only generate routes for `[controller]/[action]`, however, because resources and the other routing methods are more appropriate for working with records identified by primary keys.
-
-Here is a sample of the patterns that `wildcard` generates:
-
-```
-/news/new
-/news/create
-/news/index
-/news
-```
-
-The `wildcard` method by default will only generate routes for the `GET` request method. If you would like to enable other request methods on the wildcard, you can pass in the `method` or `methods` argument:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .wildcard(methods="get,post")
-.end();
-```
-
-{% hint style="danger" %}
-#### Security Warning
-
-Specifying a `method` argument to `wildcard` with anything other than `get` gives you the potential to accidentally expose a route that could change data in your application with a `GET` request. This opens your application to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities.
-
-`wildcard` is provided for convenience. Once you're comfortable with routing concepts in Wheels, we strongly recommend that you use resources (`resources`, `resource`) and the other verb-based helpers (`get`, `post`, `patch`, `put`, and `delete`) listed above instead.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Order of Precedence
-
-Wheels gives precedence to the first listed custom route in your `/config/routes.cfm` file.
-
-Consider this example to demonstrate when this can create unexpected issues:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources("users")
-
-    .get(
-        name="usersPromoted",
-        pattern="users/promoted",
-        to="userPromotions##index"
-    )
-.end();
-```
-
-In this case, when the user visits `/users/promoted`, this will load the `show` action of the `users` controller because that was the first pattern that was matched by the Wheels router.
-
-To fix this, you need the more specific route listed first, leaving the dynamic routing to pick up the less specific pattern:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .get(
-        name="usersPromoted",
-        pattern="users/promoted",
-        to="userPromotions##index"
-    )
-
-    .resources("users")
-.end();
-```
-
-### Making a Catch-All Route
-
-Sometimes you need a catch-all route in Wheels to support highly dynamic websites (like a content management system, for example), where all requests that are not matched by an existing route get passed to a controller/action that can deal with it.
-
-Let's say you want to have both `/welcome-to-the-site` and `/terms-of-use` handled by the same controller and action. Here's what you can do to achieve this.
-
-First, add a new route to `/config/routes.cfm` that catches all pages like this:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .get(name="page", pattern="[title]", to="pages##show")
-.end();
-```
-
-Now when you access `/welcome-to-the-site`, this route will be triggered and the `show` action will be called on the `pages` controller with `params.title` set to `welcome-to-the-site`.
-
-The problem with this is that this will break any of your normal controllers though, so you'll need to add them specifically _before_ this route. (Remember the order of precedence explained above.)
-
-You'll end up with a `/config/routes.cfm` file looking something like this:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources("products")
-    .get(name="logout", to="sessions#delete")
-    .get(name="page", pattern="[title]", to="pages##show")
-    .root(to="dashboards##show")
-.end();
-```
-
-`products` and `sessions` are your normal controllers. By adding them to the top of the routes file, Wheels looks for them first. But your catch-all route is more specific than the site root (`/`), so your catch-all should be listed before the call to [root()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.root.html).
-
-### Constraints
-
-The constraints feature can be added either at an argument level directly into a `resources()` or other individual route call, or can be added as a chained function in it's own right. Constraints allow you to add regex to a route matching pattern, so you could for instance, have `/users/1/` and `/users/bob/` go to different controller actions.
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-   // users/1234
-  .resources(name = "users", constraints = { key = "\d+" })
-   // users/abc123
-  .resources(name = "users", constraints = { key = "\w+\d+" })
-.end();
-```
-
-Constraints can also be used as a wrapping function:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .constraints( key = "\d+")
-        .resources("users")
-        .resources("cats")
-        .resources("dogs")
-    .end()
-.end()
-```
-
-In this example, the `key` argument being made of digits only will apply to all the nested resources
-
-### Wildcard Segments
-
-Wildcard segments allow for wildcards to be used at any point in the URL pattern.
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-  // Match /user/anything/you/want
-  .get(name="user/*[username]", to="users##search")
-  // Match /user/anything/you/want/search/
-  .get(name="user/*[username]/search", to="users##search")
-.end()
-```
-
-In the above example, `anything/you/want` you gets set to the `params.username` including the `/`'s. The second example would require `/search/` to be on the end of the URL
-
-### Shallow Resources
-
-If you have a nested resource where you want to enforce the presence of the parent resource, but only on creation of that resource, then shallow routes can give you a bit of a short cut. An example might be Blog Articles, which have Comments. If we're thinking in terms of our models, let's say that Articles _Have Many_ Comments.
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="articles", nested=true, shallow=true)
-        .resources("comments")
-        .resources("quotes")
-        .resources("drafts")
-    .end()
-.end()
-```
-
-Without shallow routes, this block would create RESTful actions for all the nested resources, for example `/articles/[articleKey]/comments/[key]`
-
-With Shallow resources, we can automatically put the `index`, `create` and `new` RESTful actions with the `ArticleKey` in the URL, but then separate out `edit`, `show`, `update` and `delete` actions into their own, and simpler URL path; When we edit or update a comment, we're doing it on that object as it's own entity, and the relationship to the parent article already exists.
-
-So in this case, we get `index`, `new` and `create` with the `/articles/[articleKey]/` part in the URL, but to `show`, `edit`, `update` or `delete` a comment, we can just fall back to `/comments/`
-
-### Member and Collection Blocks
-
-A `member()` block is used within a nested resource to create routes which act 'on an object'; A member route will require an ID, because it _acts on_ a member. `photos/1/preview` is an example of a member route, because it acts on (and displays) a single object.
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    // Create a route like `photos/1/preview`
-    .resources(name="photos", nested=true)
-        .member()
-            .get("preview")
-        .end()
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-A collection route doesn't require an id because it acts on a collection of objects. `photos/search` is an example of a collection route, because it acts on (and displays) a collection of objects.
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    // Create a route like `photos/search`
-    .resources(name="photos", nested=true)
-        .collection()
-            .get("search")
-        .end()
-    .end()
-.end();
-```
-
-### Redirection
-
-You can use a `redirect` argument on `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, and `DELETE` requests. This will execute before reaching any controllers, and perform a `302` redirect immediately after the route is matched.
-
-CFScript
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-  .get(name="foo", redirect="https://www.google.com")
-  .post(name="foo", redirect="https://www.google.com")
-  .put(name="foo", redirect="https://www.google.com")
-  .patch(name="foo", redirect="https://www.google.com")
-  .delete(name="foo", redirect="https://www.google.com")
-.end()
-```
-
-This is useful for the occasional redirect, and saves you having to create a dedicated controller filter or action just to perform a simple task. For large amounts of redirects, you may want to look into adding them at a higher level - e.g in an Apache VirtualHost configuration, as that will be more performant.
-
-### Disabling automatic \[format] routes
-
-By default, Wheels will add `.[format]` routes when using `resources()`. You may wish to disable this behavior to trim down the number of generated routes for clarity and performance reasons (or you just don't use this feature!).
-
-You can either disable this via `mapFormat = false` on a per resource basis, or more widely, on a mapper basis:
-
-```javascript
-// For all chained calls
-mapper(mapFormat=false)
-.resources("users")
-.end()
-
-// or just for this resource
-mapper()
-.resources(mapFormat=false, name="users")
-.end()
-```

-title: Sending Email
-description: >-
-  Use Wheels to simplify the task of setting up automated emails in your
-  application.
----
-
-# Sending Email
-
-Sending emails in Wheels is done from your controller files with the [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html) function. It's basically a wrapper around `cfmail`, but it has some smart functionality and a more Wheels-like approach in general.
-
-Getting this to work in Wheels can be broken down in 3 steps. We'll walk you through them.
-
-### Establishing Mail Server and Account Information
-
-We recommend using Wheels ability to set global defaults for [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html) so that you don't have to specify more arguments than necessary in your controller files. Because it's likely that you will use the same mail server across your application, this makes it worthwhile to set a global default for it.
-
-This setting should be done in the `/config/settings.cfm` file and can look something like this:
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```javascript
-set(
-    functionName="sendEmail",
-    server="yourServer",
-    username="yourUsername",
-    password="yourPassword"
-);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-By specifying these values here, these arguments can be omitted from all [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html) function calls, thus providing cleaner, less cluttered code.
-
-But you are not limited to setting only these 3 variables. In fact, you can set a global default for any optional argument to  [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html) and since it accepts the same arguments that `cfmail` does. That's quite a few.
-
-Alternatively, most modern CFML engines allow setting SMTP information directly within the application configuration. So you can actually add this in `/config/app.cfm`: here's an example configuration:
-
-{% code title="/config/app.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-// Lucee:
-this.tag.mail.server="smtp.mydomain.com";
-this.tag.mail.username="mySMTPUsername";
-this.tag.mail.password="mySMTPPassword";
-this.tag.mail.port=587; // Optional port
-this.tag.mail.usetls=true; // Optional TLS
-
-// Adobe ColdFusion
-this.smtpServersettings = {
-    'server' : 'smtp.thedomain.com:2525',
-    'username' : 'xxxxxxxx',
-    'password' : 'xxxxxxx'
-};
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Create an Email Template
-
-An email template is required for [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html) to work and forms the basis for the mail message content. Think of an email template as the content of your email.
-
-**Note:** The `template`, `from`, `to`, and `subject` parameters are all required when calling `sendEmail()`. You cannot send an email without specifying these values.
-
-Templates may be stored anywhere within the `/app/views/` folder, but we recommend a structured, logical approach. If different controllers utilize [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html)\
-and each require a unique template, place each email template within the `/app/views/controllername` folder structure.
-
-Consider this example scenario:
-
-| Controller:  | Email Template:                                                |
-| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `Membership` | `app/views/membership/myemailtemplate.cfm` |
-
-Multiple templates may be stored within this directory should there be a need.
-
-The content of the template is simple: simply output the content and any expected variables.
-
-Here's an example for `myemailtemplate.cfm`, which will contain HTML content.
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-<p>Hi #recipientName#,</p>
-<p>
-    We wanted to take a moment to thank you for joining our service
-    and to confirm your start date.
-</p>
-<p>
-    Our records indicate that your membership will begin on
-    <strong>#DateFormat(startDate, "dddd, mmmm, d, yyyy")#</strong>.
-</p>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Sending the Email
-
-The [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html) function requires 4 parameters: `template`, `from`, `to`, and `subject`. Additionally, it accepts all attributes of CFML's `cfmail` tag as arguments, plus any variables that you need to pass to the email template itself.
-
-Consider the following example:
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```javascript
-member = model("member").findByKey(newMember.id);
-sendEmail(
-    from="service@yourwebsite.com",
-    to=member.email,
-    template="myemailtemplate",
-    subject="Thank You for Becoming a Member",
-    recipientName=member.name,
-    startDate=member.startDate
-);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Here we are sending an email by including the `myemailtemplate` template and passing values for `recipientName`and `startDate` to it.
-
-Note that the `template` argument should be the path to the view's folder name and template file name without the extension. If the template is in the current controller, then you don't need to specify a folder path to the template file. In that case, just be sure to store the template file in the folder with the rest of the views for that controller.
-
-The logic for which template file to include follows the same logic as the `template` argument to [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html).
-
-Did you notice that we did not have to specify the `type` attribute of `cfmail`? Wheels is smart enough to figure out that you want to send as HTML since you have tags in the email body. (You can override this behavior if necessary though by passing in the `type` argument.)
-
-### Multipart Emails
-
-The intelligence doesn't end there though. You can have Wheels send a multipart email by passing in a list of templates to the `templates` argument (notice the plural), and Wheels will automatically figure out which one is text and which one is HTML.
-
-Like the `template` argument, the logic for which file to include follows the same logic as the `template` argument to [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html).
-
-### Attaching Files
-
-You can attach files to your emails as well by using the `file` argument (or `files` argument if you want multiple attachments). Simply pass in the name of a file that exists in the `public/files` folder (or a subfolder of it) of your application.
-
-```javascript
-// Send public/files/termsAndConditions.pdf
-sendEmail(
-    to="tom@domain.com",
-    from="tom@domain.com",
-    template="/email/exampletemplate",
-    subject="Test",
-    files="termsAndConditions.pdf"
-);
-```
-
-Alternatively you can pass in mail parameters directly if you require more control (such as sending a dynamically generated PDF which isn't written to disk):
-
-{% code title="Mail Example" %}
-```javascript
-// Create PDF
-cfdocument(name="PDFContent", format="pdf"){
-  writeOutput("<h1>Cats are better than dogz!</h1>");
-};
-
-// Setup Mail Params
-mailParams[1]["file"]= "Test.pdf";
-mailParams[1]["type"]= "application/pdf";
-mailParams[1]["content"]= PDFContent;
-
-sendEmail(
-    to="tom@domain.com",
-    from="tom@domain.com",
-    template="/email/exampletemplate",
-    subject="Test",
-    mailParams=mailParams
-);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Using Email Layouts
-
-Much like the layouts outlined in the [Layouts](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/layouts) chapter, you can also create layouts for your emails.
-
-A layout should be used just as the name implies: for layout and stylistic aspects of the email body. Based on the example given above, let's assume that the same email content needs to be sent twice.
-
-* Message is sent to a new member with a stylized header and footer.
-* A copy of message is sent to an admin at your company with a generic header and footer.
-
-Best practice is that variables (such as `recipientName` and `startDate`, in the example above) be placed as outputs in the template file.
-
-In this case, the two calls to [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html) would be nearly identical, with the exception of the `layout` argument.
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```javascript
-// Get new member.
-member = model("member").findByKey(params.key);
-
-// Customer email with customized header/footer.
-sendEmail(
-    from="service@yourwebsite.com",
-    template="myemailtemplate",
-    layout="customer",
-    to=member.email,
-    subject="Thank You for Becoming a Member",
-    recipientName=member.name,
-    startDate=member.startDate
-);
-
-// Plain text message with "admin" layout.
-sendEmail(
-    from="service@yourwebsite.com",
-    template="myemailtemplate",
-    layout="admin",
-    to="admin@domain.com",
-    subject="Membership Verification: #member.name#",
-    recipientName=member.name,
-    startDate=member.startDate
-);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Multipart Email Layouts
-
-Wheels also lets you set up layouts for the HTML and plain text parts in a multipart email.
-
-If we set up generic email layouts at `app/views/plainemaillayout.cfm` and `app/views/htmlemaillayout.cfm`, we would call [sendEmail()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendemail.html) like so:
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```javascript
-// Multipart customer email.
-sendEmail(
-    from="service@yourwebsite.com",
-    templates="/myemailtemplateplain,/myemailtemplatehtml",
-    layouts="customerPlain,customerHtml",
-    to=member.email,
-    subject="Thank You for Becoming a Member",
-    recipientName=member.name,
-    startDate=member.startDate
-);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-For both the `templates` and `layouts` arguments (again, notice the plurals), we provide a list of view files to use. Wheels will figure out which of the templates and layouts are the HTML versions and separate out the MIME parts for you automatically.
-
-### Go Send Some Emails
-
-Now you're all set to send emails the Wheels way. Just don't be a spammer, please!

-title: Sending Files
-description: >-
-  Use Wheels to send files to your users securely and with better control of
-  the user experience.
----
-
-# Sending Files
-
-Sending files?! Is that really a necessary feature of Wheels? Can't I just place the file on my web server and link to it? You are correct, there is absolutely no need to use Wheels to send files. Your web server will do a fine job of sending out files to your users.
-
-However, if you want a little more control over the way the user's browser handles the download or be able to secure access to your files then you might find the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) function useful.
-
-### Sending Files with the sendFile() Function
-
-The convention in Wheels is to place all files you want users to be able to download in the `public/files` folder.
-
-Assuming you've placed a file named `wheels_tutorial_20081028_J657D6HX.pdf` in that folder, here is a quick example of how you can deliver that file to the user. Let's start with creating a link to the action that will handle the sending of the file first.
-
-```html
-<p>
-  #linkTo(text="Download Tutorial", action="sendTutorial")#
-</p>
-```
-
-Now let's send the file to the user in the `sendTutorial` controller action. Just like the rendering functions in Wheels, the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) function should be placed as the very last thing you do in your action code.
-
-In this case, that's the only thing we are doing, but perhaps you want to track how many times the file is being downloaded, for example. In that case, the tracking code needs to be placed _before_ the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) function.
-
-Also, remember that the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) function replaces any rendering. You cannot send a file _and_ render a page. (This will be quite obvious once you try this code because you'll see that the browser will give you a dialog box, and you won't actually leave the page that you're viewing at the time.)
-
-Here's the `sendTutorial` action:
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```javascript
-function sendTutorial() {
-    sendFile(file="wheels_tutorial_20081028_J657D6HX.pdf");
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-That's one ugly file name though, eh? Let's present it to the user in a nicer way by suggesting a different name to the browser:
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```javascript
-function sendTutorial() {
-    sendFile(file="wheels_tutorial_20081028_J657D6HX.pdf", name="Tutorial.pdf");
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Much better! :)
-
-By default, the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) function will try and force a download dialog box to be shown to the user. The purpose of this is to make it easy for the user to save the file to their computer. If you want the file to be shown inside the browser instead (when possible as decided by the browser in question), you can set the `disposition` argument to `inline`.
-
-Here's an example:
-
-Example
-
-```javascript
-function sendTutorial() {
-    sendFile(file="wheels_tutorial_20081028_J657D6HX.pdf", disposition="inline");
-}
-```
-
-You can also specify what HTTP content type to use when delivering the file by using the `type` argument. Please refer to the API for the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) function for complete details.
-
-### Sending Files via ram://
-
-You can even send files which are stored in `ram://` - this is particularly useful when you're dynamically creating files (such as PDF reports) which don't need to be written to the file system.
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```javascript
-// Create the PDF.
-wheels = cfdocument(format='pdf') {
- writeOutput(Now());
-}; 
-
-// Write the file to RAM.
-fileWrite("ram://wheels.pdf", wheels);
-
-// Send it.
-sendFile(file="ram://wheels.pdf");
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Securing Access to Files
-
-Perhaps the main reason to use the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) function is that it gives you an easy way to secure access to your files. Maybe the tutorial file used in the above example is something the user paid for, and you only want for that user to be able to download it (and no one else). To accomplish this, you can just add some code to authenticate the user right before the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) call in your action.
-
-However, there is a security flaw here. Can you figure out what it is?
-
-You may have guessed that the files folder is placed in your web root, so anyone can download files from it by typing `http://www.domain.com/files/wheels_tutorial_20081028_J657D6HX.pdf` in their browser. Although users would need to guess the file names to be able to access the files, we would still need something more robust as far as security goes.
-
-There are two solutions to this.
-
-The easiest one is to just lock down access to the folder using your web server. Wheels won't be affected by it since it gets the file from the file system.
-
-If that is not an option, the other option is simply to move the files folder out of the web root, thus making it inaccessible. If you move the folder, you'll need to accommodate for this in your code by changing your [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) calls to specify the path as well, like this:
-
-{% code title="Example" %}
-```javascript
-function sendTutorial() {
-    sendFile(file="../../tutorials/wheels_tutorial_20081028_J657D6HX.pdf");
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This assumes you've moved the folder two levels up in your file system and into a folder named "tutorials".
-
-### Don't Open Any Holes with URL Parameters
-
-**A final note of warning:** Be careful to not allow just any parameters from the URL to get passed through to the [sendFile()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.sendfile.html) because then a user would be able to download any file from your server by playing around with the URL. Be wary of how you're using the `params` struct in this context!

-title: Server-Sent Events (SSE)
-description: >-
-  Push real-time updates from your Wheels application to the browser using
-  the Server-Sent Events standard.
----
-
-# Server-Sent Events (SSE)
-
-Server-Sent Events (SSE) is a standard that allows a server to push updates to a web browser over a single HTTP connection. Unlike WebSockets, SSE is one-directional (server to client), uses standard HTTP, and automatically reconnects if the connection drops.
-
-Wheels provides built-in controller helpers for SSE responses, making it simple to add real-time features like notifications, live feeds, and progress updates.
-
-## When to Use SSE
-
-SSE is ideal for:
-
-* **Notifications**: Alert users about new messages, comments, or system events
-* **Live feeds**: Stream activity logs, stock prices, or social media updates
-* **Progress tracking**: Show real-time progress for long-running operations
-* **Dashboard updates**: Push metric changes without polling
-
-For bidirectional communication (e.g., chat), consider WebSockets instead.
-
-## Single Event Response
-
-The simplest approach is `renderSSE()`, which sends a single SSE-formatted event and closes the connection. The client's `EventSource` will automatically reconnect and receive the next update.
-
-```javascript
-function notifications() {
-    var data = model("Notification").findAll(
-        where="userId=#params.userId# AND sent=0"
-    );
-    renderSSE(
-        data=SerializeJSON(data),
-        event="notifications",
-        id=CreateUUID()
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### renderSSE() Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type   | Default | Description |
-|-----------|--------|---------|-------------|
-| `data`    | string | (required) | The event data to send (typically JSON) |
-| `event`   | string | `""` | Optional event type name |
-| `id`      | string | `""` | Optional event ID for reconnection tracking |
-| `retry`   | numeric | `0` | Reconnection interval in milliseconds (0 = browser default) |
-
-## Streaming Multiple Events
-
-For long-lived connections that send multiple events, use the streaming API:
-
-```javascript
-function stream() {
-    // Initialize the SSE stream (sets headers, gets writer)
-    var writer = initSSEStream();
-
-    // Send multiple events
-    var items = model("Activity").findAll(where="new=1", order="createdAt");
-    for (var item in items) {
-        sendSSEEvent(
-            writer=writer,
-            data=SerializeJSON({
-                id: item.id,
-                type: item.activityType,
-                message: item.description
-            }),
-            event="activity",
-            id=item.id
-        );
-    }
-
-    // Close the stream when done
-    closeSSEStream(writer=writer);
-}
-```
-
-### Streaming Helper Functions
-
-| Function | Description |
-|----------|-------------|
-| `initSSEStream()` | Sets SSE headers and returns a writer object |
-| `sendSSEEvent(writer, data, event, id, retry)` | Sends a single event through the writer |
-| `sendSSEComment(writer, comment)` | Sends a comment (keep-alive ping) |
-| `closeSSEStream(writer)` | Flushes and closes the stream |
-
-## Content Negotiation
-
-Use `isSSERequest()` to detect whether the request comes from an `EventSource` client and respond accordingly:
-
-```javascript
-function updates() {
-    var latestData = model("Update").findAll(order="createdAt DESC", maxRows=10);
-
-    if (isSSERequest()) {
-        renderSSE(data=SerializeJSON(latestData), event="updates");
-    } else {
-        updates = latestData;
-        renderView();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-This allows the same action to serve both a regular HTML page and SSE updates.
-
-## Client-Side Usage
-
-Use the browser's built-in `EventSource` API to connect:
-
-```javascript
-// Connect to the SSE endpoint
-const eventSource = new EventSource('/controller/notifications');
-
-// Listen for named events
-eventSource.addEventListener('notifications', function(e) {
-    const data = JSON.parse(e.data);
-    console.log('New notifications:', data);
-    updateNotificationBadge(data);
-});
-
-// Listen for generic messages (events without a name)
-eventSource.onmessage = function(e) {
-    console.log('Message:', e.data);
-};
-
-// Handle connection errors
-eventSource.onerror = function(e) {
-    console.error('SSE connection error');
-    // EventSource automatically reconnects
-};
-
-// Close the connection when done
-// eventSource.close();
-```
-
-### Passing the Last Event ID
-
-When an `EventSource` reconnects after a dropped connection, it sends the last received event ID in the `Last-Event-ID` header. You can use this to resume from where the client left off:
-
-```javascript
-function notifications() {
-    var lastId = GetHttpRequestData().headers["Last-Event-ID"] ?: "";
-
-    if (Len(lastId)) {
-        var data = model("Notification").findAll(
-            where="userId=#params.userId# AND id > '#lastId#'"
-        );
-    } else {
-        var data = model("Notification").findAll(
-            where="userId=#params.userId# AND sent=0"
-        );
-    }
-
-    renderSSE(data=SerializeJSON(data), event="notifications", id=data.id);
-}
-```
-
-## Routing
-
-SSE endpoints are regular controller actions. Define routes as you would for any other action:
-
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources(name="notifications", only="index")
-    .get(name="activityStream", to="activities##stream")
-    .get(name="dashboardUpdates", to="dashboard##updates")
-.end();
-```
-
-## Keep-Alive Pings
-
-For long-lived streaming connections, send periodic comments to prevent proxy timeouts:
-
-```javascript
-function stream() {
-    var writer = initSSEStream();
-
-    // Send a keep-alive comment
-    sendSSEComment(writer=writer, comment="ping");
-
-    // Send actual data
-    sendSSEEvent(writer=writer, data=SerializeJSON(getData()), event="update");
-
-    closeSSEStream(writer=writer);
-}
-```
-
-SSE comments (lines starting with `:`) are ignored by the client but keep the connection alive through proxies and load balancers.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use JSON for data**: Always `SerializeJSON()` your data for structured payloads
-2. **Name your events**: Use the `event` parameter so clients can listen for specific event types
-3. **Include event IDs**: Set the `id` parameter to enable automatic reconnection resumption
-4. **Set appropriate retry intervals**: Use the `retry` parameter to control reconnection timing
-5. **Keep payloads small**: SSE is best for lightweight notifications, not large data transfers
-6. **Use content negotiation**: Check `isSSERequest()` to serve both HTML and SSE from the same action
-7. **Consider connection limits**: Browsers limit the number of concurrent SSE connections per domain (typically 6). Use a single multiplexed stream when possible

-First in your web.xml add the following servlet mapping above the default servlet mapping:
-
-{% code title="web.xml" %}
-```
- <!-- The mapping for rewriting -->
-    <servlet-mapping>
-        <servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>
-        <url-pattern>/rewrite.cfm/*</url-pattern>
-    </servlet-mapping>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-For this you can use the global web.xml that for instance can be found at: /opt/lucee/tomcat/conf/web.xml.
-Or, if you are on shared hosting, use a local web.xml that for instance can be found at: yourwebroot/WEB-INF/web.xml.
-
-After that use the following `.htaccess` file and Apache will pick up and use them automatically on server start-up.
-
-Most of the time this will work. There are some exceptions though...
-
-If you have installed Apache yourself you may need to turn on the rewrite module and/or change the security settings before URL rewriting will work:
-
-* Check that the Apache `rewrite_module` has been loaded by ensuring there are no pound signs before the line that says `LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so` in the `httpd.conf` file.
-* Make sure that Apache has permission to load the rewrite rules from the `.htaccess` file. This is done by setting `AllowOverride` to `All` under the Directory section corresponding to the website you plan on using Wheels on (still inside the `httpd.conf` file).
-
-If you have an older version of Apache and you're trying to run your Wheels site in a sub folder of an existing site you may need to hard code the name of this folder in your rewrite rules.
-
-* Change the last line of the `.htaccess` file to the following: `RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sub_folder_name_goes_here/rewrite.cfm/$1 [L]`. Don't forget to change `sub_folder_name_goes_here` to the actual folder name first of course.
-
-{% code title=".htaccess" %}
-```
-Options +FollowSymLinks
-RewriteEngine On
-RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/index.cfm/(.*)$ [NC]
-RewriteRule ^.*/index.cfm/(.*)$ ./rewrite.cfm/$1 [NS,L]
-RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/(flex2gateway|jrunscripts|cfide|cf_scripts|cfformgateway|cffileservlet|lucee|files|images|javascripts|miscellaneous|stylesheets|wheels/public/assets|robots.txt|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|rewrite.cfm)($|/.*$) [NC]
-RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./rewrite.cfm/$1 [NS,L]
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Note that it's often considered better practice to include this URL rewriting configuration at the `<virtualhost>` block level, but get it working with a `.htaccess` file first.

-
-Unfortunately, there is no built-in URL rewriting mechanism in IIS 6, so getting Wheels working with pretty URLs is a little more complicated than with Apache and IIS 7 (which often comes with the official "URL Rewrite Module" installed by default). Here's what you need to do:
-
-* Download Ionic's ISAPI Rewrite Filter (IIRF). NOTE: CodePlex was shut down in 2021; IIRF is no longer maintained. The version must be v1.2.16 or later.
-* Unzip the file, get the `IsapiRewrite4.dll` file from the lib folder and put it in the root of your website. (It needs to be in the same folder as the `IsapiRewrite4.ini` file.)
-* To enable the rewrite filter in IIS 6, click on _Properties_ for your website, then go to the ISAPI Filters tab and click the _Add..._ button.
-* Type in anything you want as the _Filter Name_ and point the Executable to the `IsapiRewrite4.dll` file.
-* Uncomment the rewrite rules in the `IsapiRewrite4.ini` file.
-
-**NOTE:** Make sure you have "Verify that file exists" disabled for your site.
-
-* Right click your website and select _Properties_.
-* Click Home _Directory_ tab.
-* Click the _Configuration_ button.
-* Under the Wildcard application mapping section, double-click path for the `jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll`.
-* Uncheck _Verify that file exists_.
-* Click _OK_ until all property screens are closed.

-title: URL Rewriting
-description: Making URLs prettier using URL rewriting.
----
-
-# URL Rewriting
-
-URL rewriting is a completely optional feature of Wheels, and all it does is get rid of the `index.cfm` part of the URL.
-
-For example, with no URL rewriting, a URL in your application could look like this:
-
-{% code title="HTTP" %}
-```
-http://localhost:8080/index.cfm/blog/new
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-After turning on URL rewriting, it would look like this:
-
-{% code title="HTTP" %}
-```
-http://localhost:8080/blog/new
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Combine this with the routing functionality of Wheels, and you get the capability of creating some really human-friendly (easier to remember, say over the phone, etc.) and search engine friendly (easier to crawl, higher PageRank, etc.) URLs.
-
-Once you have added the rewrite rules (usually in either `.htaccess`, `web.config` or `urlrewrite.xml`), Wheels will try and determine if your web server is capable of rewriting URLs and turn it on for you automatically. Depending on what web server you have and what folder you run Wheels from, you may need to tweak things a little though. Follow these instructions below for details on how to set up your web server and customize the rewrite rules when necessary.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Head's Up!
-
-Engine specific URL rewrite files are not included in the default distribution. Don't worry - we've got you covered though!
-{% endhint %}
-
-For webserver specific instructions look at the following pages:
-
-* [Apache](/v4-0-0-snapshot/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/apache/)
-* [IIS](/v4-0-0-snapshot/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/iis/)
-* [Tomcat](/v4-0-0-snapshot/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/tomcat/)
-* [Nginx](/v4-0-0-snapshot/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/nginx/)
-
-### Don't Forget to Restart
-
-If you need to make changes to get URL rewriting to work, it's important to remember to always restart the web server and the ColdFusion server to make sure the changes are picked up by Wheels.
-
-If you don't have access to restart services on your server, you can issue a `reload=true` request. It's often enough.

-title: Using Filters
-description: Stop repeating yourself with the use of before and after filters.
----
-
-# Using Filters
-
-If you find the need to run a piece of code before or after several controller actions, then you can use _filters_ to accomplish this without needing to explicitly call the code inside each action in question.
-
-This is similar to using the `onRequestStart` / `onRequestEnd` functions in CFML's `Application.cfc` file, with the difference being that filters tie in better with your Wheels controller setup.
-
-### An Example: Authenticating Users
-
-One common thing you might find yourself doing is authenticating users before allowing them to see your content. Let's use this scenario to show how to use filters properly.
-
-You might start out with something like this:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-  function secretStuff() {
-        if ( !StructKeyExists(session, "userId") ) {
-            abort;
-        }
-    }
-
-    function evenMoreSecretStuff() {
-        if ( !StructKeyExists(session, "userId") ) {
-            abort;
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-Sure, that works. But you're already starting to repeat yourself in the code. What if the logic of your application grows bigger? It could end up looking like this:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function secretStuff() {
-        if ( !find("212.55", cgi.remote_addr) ) {
-            flashInsert(msg="Sorry, we're not open in that area.");
-            redirectTo(action="sorry");
-        } else if ( !StructKeyExists(session, "userId") ) {
-            flashInsert(msg="Please login first.");
-            redirectTo(action="login");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function evenMoreSecretStuff() {
-        if ( !find("212.55", cgi.remote_addr) ) {
-            flashInsert(msg="Sorry, we're not open in that area.");
-            redirectTo(action="sorry");
-        } else if ( !StructKeyExists(session, "userId") ) {
-            flashInsert(msg="Please login first.");
-            redirectTo(action="login");
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-Ouch! You're now setting yourself up for a maintenance nightmare when you need to update that IP range, the messages given to the user, etc. One day, you are bound to miss updating it in one of the places.
-
-As the smart coder that you are, you re-factor this to another function so your code ends up like this:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function secretStuff() {
-        restrictAccess();
-    }
-
-    function evenMoreSecretStuff() {
-        restrictAccess();
-    }
-
-    function restrictAccess() {
-        if ( !find("212.55", cgi.remote_addr) ) {
-            flashInsert(msg="Sorry, we're !open in that area.");
-            redirectTo(action="sorry");
-        } else if ( !StructKeyExists(session, "userId") ) {
-            flashInsert(msg="Please login first!");
-            redirectTo(action="login");
-        }
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-Much better! But Wheels can take this process of avoiding repetition one step further. By placing a [filters()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.filters.html) call in the `config()` function of the controller, you can tell Wheels what function to run before any desired action(s).
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function config() {
-        filters("restrictAccess");
-    }
-
-    private function restrictAccess() {
-        if ( !find("212.55", cgi.remote_addr) ) {
-            flashInsert(msg="Sorry, we're !open in that area.");
-            redirectTo(action="sorry");
-        } else if ( !StructKeyExists(session, "userId") ) {
-            flashInsert(msg="Please login first!");
-            redirectTo(action="login");
-        }
-    }
-
-    function secretStuff() {
-    }
-
-    function evenMoreSecretStuff() {
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-Besides the advantage of not having to call `restrictAccess()` twice, you have also gained two other things:
-
-* The developer coding `secretStuff()` and `evenMoreSecretStuff()` can now focus on the main tasks of those two actions without having to worry about repetitive logic like authentication.
-* The `config()` function is now starting to act like an overview for the entire controller.
-
-All of these advantages will become much more obvious as your applications grow in size and complexity. This was just a simple example to put filters into context.
-
-### Sharing Filters Between Controllers
-
-So far, we've only been dealing with one controller. Unless you're building a very simple website, you'll end up with a lot more.
-
-The question then becomes, "Where do I place the `restrictAccess()` function so I can call it from any one of my controllers?" The answer is that because all controllers extend `Controller.cfc`, you should probably put it there. The `config()` function itself with the call to [filters()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.filters.html) should remain inside your individual controllers though.
-
-If you actually want to set the same filters to be run for all controllers, you can go ahead and move it to the `Controller.cfc` file's `config()` function as well. Keep in mind that if you want to run the `config()` function in the individual controller and in `Controller.cfc`, you will need to call `super.config()` from the `config()` function of your individual controller.
-
-### Two Types of Filters
-
-You specify if you want to run the filter function before or after the controller action with the `type` argument to the [filters()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.filters.html) function. It defaults to running it before the action.
-
-The previous example with authentication showed a "before filter" in action. The other type of filter you can run is an "after filter." As you can tell from the name, an after filter executes code after the action has been completed.
-
-This can be used to make some last minute modifications to the HTML before it is sent to the browser (think translation, compression, etc.), for example.
-
-If you want to get a copy of the content that will be rendered to the browser from an after filter, you can use the [response()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.response.html) function. To set your changes to the response afterward, use the [setResponse()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.setresponse.html) function.
-
-As an example, let's say that you want to translate the content to Gibberish before sending it to your visitor. You can do something like this:
-
-```javascript
-function config() {
-    filters(through="translate", type="after");
-}
-
-private function translate() {
-    setResponse(gibberify(response()));
-}
-```
-
-### Including and Excluding Actions From Executing Filters
-
-By default, filters apply to all actions in a controller. If that's not what you want, you can tell Wheels to only run the filter on the actions you specify with the `only` argument. Or you can tell it to run the filter on all actions except the ones you specify with the `except` argument.
-
-Here are some examples showing how to setup filtering in your controllers. Remember, these calls go inside the `config()` function of your controller file.
-
-```javascript
-filters(through="isLoggedIn,checkIPAddress", except="home,login");
-filters(through="translateText", only="termsOfUse", type="after");
-```
-
-### Passing Arguments to Filter Functions
-
-Sometimes it's useful to be able to pass through arguments to the filters. For one, it can help you reduce the amount of functions you need to write. Here's the easy way to pass through an argument:
-
-```javascript
-filters(through="authorize", byIP=true);
-```
-
-Now the `byIP` argument will be available in the `authorize` function.
-
-To help you avoid any clashing of argument names, Wheels also supports passing in the arguments in a struct as well:
-
-```javascript
-// The `through` argument would clash here if it wasn't stored within a struct
-args.byIP = true;
-args.through = true;
-filters(through="authorize", authorizeArguments=args);
-```
-
-### Evaluating Filter Arguments at Runtime
-
-Because your controller's `config()` function only runs once per application start, the passing of arguments can also be written as expressions to be evaluated at runtime. This is helpful if you need for the value to be dynamic from request to request.
-
-For example, this code would only evaluate the value for `request.region` on the very first request, and Wheels will store that particular value in memory for all subsequent requests:
-
-```javascript
-// This is probably not what you intended
-filters(through="authorize", byIP=true, region=request.region);
-```
-
-To avoid this hard-coding of values from request to request, you can instead pass an expression. (The double pound signs are necessary to escape dynamic values within the string. We only want to store a string representation of the expression to be evaluated.)
-
-```javascript
-// This is probably more along the lines of what you intended
-filters(through="authorize", byIP=true, region="##request.region##");
-```
-
-Now instead of evaluating `request.region` inside the `config()` function, it will be done on each individual request.
-
-### Securing Your Filters
-
-You probably don't want anyone to be able to run your filters directly (by modifying a URL on your website for example). To make sure that isn't possible we recommend that you always make them private. As you can see in all examples on this page we make sure that we always have `access="private"` in the function declaration for the filter.
-
-### Low Level Access
-
-If you need to access your filters on a lower level, you can do so by using the [filterChain()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.filterchain.html) and [setFilterChain()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.setfilterchain.html)functions. Typically, you'll want to call  [filterChain()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.filterchain.html) to return an array of all the filters set on the current controller, make your desired changes, and save it back using the [setFilterChain()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.setfilterchain.html) function.

-title: Using the Flash
-description: Using the Flash to pass data from one request to the next.
----
-
-# Using the Flash
-
-The Flash is actually a very simple concept. And no, it has nothing to do with\
-Adobe's Flash Player.
-
-The Flash is just a struct in the `session` or `cookie` scope with some added\
-functionality. It is cleared at the end of the next page that the user views.\
-This means that it's a good fit for storing messages or variables temporarily\
-from one request to the next.
-
-By the way, the name "Flash" comes from Ruby on Rails, like so many other cool\
-things in Wheels.
-
-### An Example of Using the Flash
-
-The code below is commonly used in Wheels applications to store a message about\
-an error in the Flash and then redirect to another URL, which then displays the message in its view page.
-
-The following example shows how code dealing with the Flash can look in an\
-action that handles a form submission.
-
-```javascript
-function update() {
-    if ( user.update(params.user) ) {
-        flashInsert(success="The user was updated successfully.");
-        redirectTo(action="edit");
-    } else {
-        renderView(action="edit");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Here's an example of how we then display the Flash message we just set in the\
-view page for the `edit` action. Please note that this is done on the _next_\
-request since we performed a redirect after setting the Flash.
-
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-<p class="success-message">
-    #flash("success")#
-</p>
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-As you can see above, you use the [flashInsert()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashinsert.html) function with a named argument when you want to store data in the Flash and the [flash()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flash.html) function when you want to display the data in a view.
-
-The key chosen above is `success`, but it could have been anything that we wanted. Just like with a normal struct, the naming of the keys is your job.
-
-As an example, you may choose to use one key for storing messages after the user made an error, called `error`, and another one for storing messages after a successful user operation, called `success`.
-
-### Shortcut for Setting the Flash and Redirecting
-
-The more you work with Wheels and the Flash, the more that you're going to find\
-that you keep repeating that [flashInsert()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashinsert.html)/ [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) combo all\
-the time. Wheels has a solution for that within the [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) function\
-itself:&#x20;
-
-```javascript
-redirectTo(action="edit", success="The user was updated successfully.");
-```
-
-That piece of code does exactly the same thing as the example shown previously\
-in this chapter. The Wheels [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) function sees the `success`\
-argument coming in and knows that it's not part of its own declared arguments.
-
-Therefore, you (the developer) must intend for it to be stored in the Flash,\
-so Wheels goes ahead and calls `flashInsert(success="The user was updated successfully.")`\
-for you behind the scenes.
-
-### Prepend with flash for Argument Names that Collide with redirectTos
-
-So what if you want to redirect to the `edit` action and set a key in the Flash\
-named `action` as well? Simply prepend the key with `flash` to tell Wheels to\
-avoid the argument naming collision.
-
-CFScript
-
-```javascript
-redirectTo(action="edit", flashAction="The user was updated successfully.");
-```
-
-We don't recommend naming the keys in your Flash `action`, but these naming\
-collisions can potentially happen when you want to redirect to a route that\
-takes custom arguments, so remember this workaround.
-
-### More Flashy Functions
-
-Besides [flash()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flash.html) and [flashInsert()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashinsert.html) that are used to read\
-from/insert to the Flash, there are a few other functions worth mentioning.
-
-[flashCount()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashcount.html) is used to count how many key/value pairs there are in the\
-Flash.
-
-[flashClear()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashclear.html) and [flashDelete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashdelete.html) do exactly the same as their\
-counterparts in the struct world, `StructClear` and `StructDelete`—they clear\
-the entire Flash and delete a specific key/value from it, respectively.
-
-[flashKeyExists()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashkeyexists.html) is used to check if a specific key exists. So it would\
-make sense to make use of that function in the code listed above to avoid\
-outputting an empty `<p>` tag on requests where the Flash is empty.\
-( [flash()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flash.html) will return an empty string when the specified key does not\
-exist.)
-
-Check out the [Controller > Flash Functions](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0) section in the API listing of all the functions that deal with the Flash.
-
-#### Wholesale Flash Handling with [flashMessages()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashmessages.html)
-
-Throw the [flashIsEmpty()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.set.html) function into the mix, and you might find\
-yourself writing code across your Wheels projects that looks something like\
-this:&#x20;
-
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-<cfif NOT flashIsEmpty()>
-    <div id="flash-messages">
-        <cfif flashKeyExists("error")>
-            <p class="errorMessage">
-                #flash("error")#
-            </p>
-        </cfif>
-        <cfif flashKeyExists("success")>
-            <p class="successMessage">
-                #flash("success")#
-            </p>
-        </cfif>
-    </div>
-</cfif>
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-All of that above code can be replaced with a single call to the [flashMessages()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashmessages.html) function:
-
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-#flashMessages()#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-Whenever any value is inserted into the Flash, [flashMessages()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashmessages.html) will\
-display it similarly to the complex example above, with `class` attributes set\
-similarly (`errorMessage` for the `error` key and `successMessage` for the\
-`success` key).
-
-You can also use [flashMessages()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashmessages.html)'s `key/keys` argument to limit its reach\
-to a list of given keys. Let's say that we only want our layout to show messages\
-for the `alert` key but not for the `error` or `success` keys (or any other for\
-that matter). We would write our call like so:
-
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-#flashMessages(key="alert")#
-</cfoutput>
-```
-
-Just keep in mind that this approach isn't as flexible, so if you need to\
-customize the markup of the messages beyond [flashMessages()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashmessages.html)'s\
-capabilities, you should revert back to using [flashIsEmpty()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flashisempty.html),\
-[flash()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.flash.html), and other related functions manually.
-
-### Flash Storage Options
-
-Earlier, we mentioned that the data for the Flash is stored in either the\
-`cookie` or the `session` scope. You can find out where Wheels stores the Flash\
-data in your application by outputting `get("flashStorage")`. If you have\
-session management enabled in your application, Wheels will default to storing\
-the Flash in the `session` scope. Otherwise, it will store it in a cookie on the\
-user's computer.
-
-You can override this setting in the same way that you override other Wheels\
-settings by running the [set()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.set.html) function like this:
-
-```javascript
-// In `/config/settings.cfm` or another `settings.cfm` file within the `config` subfolders
-set(flashStorage="session");
-```
-
-Note: Before you set Wheels to use the `session` scope, you need to make sure\
-that session management is enabled. To enable it, all you need to do is add\
-`this.SessionManagement = true` to the `/config/app.cfm` file.
-
-#### Changing Flash Storage Dynamically During a Request
-
-From Wheels 3.0, you now have the ability to dynamically change the flash storage\
-during the lifecycle of a controller or request or the complete application using\
-the `setFlashStorage()` function.
-
-This can be helpful if you need to switch between using session-based or\
-cookie-based flash storage at runtime depending on the context of the request.
-
-```javascript
-// Inside your controller action
-setFlashStorage("cookie");
-```
-
-By default, it changes the storage for the current controller only. However,\
-if you want to change it globally for all subsequent requests (until changed\
-again), you can pass a second argument `setGlobally=true`:
-
-```javascript
-// Change globally for the entire application
-setFlashStorage("session", true);
-```
-
-The storage argument accepts only `session` or `cookie`. If any other value is\
-passed, Wheels will simply ignore the change (no error will be thrown).
-Always make sure to pass a valid storage type to avoid unexpected behavior.
-
-Note: Be careful when changing flash storage dynamically during requests,\
-as it will change the entire application's flash scope depending on the settings\
-and this may result in logical errors depending on your flash settings,\
-especially if your application relies heavily on a consistent flash\
-storage mechanism across multiple requests or clusters.
-
-### Choosing a Storage Method
-
-So what storage option should you choose? Well, to be honest, it doesn't really\
-matter that much, so we recommend you just go with the default setting. If\
-you're a control freak and always want to use the optimal setting, here are some\
-considerations.
-
-* Although the Flash data is deserialized before stored in a cookie (making it\
-  possible to store complex values), you need to remember that a cookie is not the\
-  best place to store data that requires a lot of space.
-* If you run multiple ColdFusion servers in a clustered environment and use\
-  session-based Flash storage, users might experience a loss of their Flash\
-  variables as their request gets passed to other servers.
-* Using cookies is, generally speaking, less secure than using the `session`\
-  scope. Users could open their cookie file up and manually change its value.\
-  Sessions are stored on the server, out of users' reach.
-
-### Appending to, rather than replacing the flash
-
-You can change the default flash behavior to append to an existing key, rather than directly replacing it. To turn on this behavior, add `set(flashAppend=true)` to you `/config/settings.cfm` file.
-
-An example of where this might be useful:
-
-```javascript
-// In your controller
-if( thingOneHappened ){
-  flashInsert(info="Thing One Happened");
-}
-if( thingTwoHappened ){
-  flashInsert(info="Thing Two Happened");
-}
-```
-
-Which, when output via `flashMessages()` would render:
-
-```html
-<div class="flash-messages">
-  <p class="info-message">Thing One Happened</p>
-  <p class="info-message">Thing Two Happened</p>
-</div>
-```
-
-With `set(flashAppend=true)`, you can also directly pass in an array of strings like so:
-
-```javascript
-msgs=[
-   "Thing One Happened", "Thing Two Happened"
-];
-flashInsert(info=msgs);
-```
-
-### Disabling the Flash Cookie
-
-There are certain circumstances where you might not be using the flash: for example, if you have Wheels setup as a stateless API (perhaps in a cluster behind a load balancer) where you're using tokens vs sessions. In this circumstance, you've probably turned off session management, which only leaves `cookie` as a viable route. But if set to `cookie`, you always get `Set-Cookie` being returned, which is unnecessary.
-
-You can set `set(flashStorage = "none")` which will prevent the creation of the cookie, and also not try and write to a session.

-title: Verification
-description: >-
-  Verify the existence and type of variables before allowing for a given
-  controller action to run.
----
-
-# Verification
-
-Verification, through the [verifies()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.verifies.html) function, is just a special type of filter that runs before actions. With verifications defined in your controller, you can eliminate the need for wrapping your entire actions in `<cfif>` blocks checking for the existence and types of variables. You also can limit your actions' scopes to specific request types like `post, get`, and AJAX requests.
-
-### Using verifies() to Enforce Request Types
-
-Let's say that you want to make sure that all requests coming to a page that handles form submissions are `post`requests. While you can do this with a filter and the [isPost()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.ispost.html) function, it is more convenient and DRY to do it with the [verifies()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.verifies.html) function.
-
-All that you need to do is add this line to your controller's `config()` function:
-
-```javascript
-// In the controller
-function config(){
-    verifies(only="create,update", post=true);
-}
-```
-
-The code above will ensure that all requests coming to the `create` and `update` actions are from form submissions. All other requests will be aborted.
-
-There are also boolean arguments for `get` and `ajax` request types.
-
-### Defining a Handler for Failed Verifications
-
-You can also specify different behavior for when the verification fails in a special `handler` function registered with the handler argument.
-
-In this example, we register the `incorrectRequestType()` function as the handler:
-
-```javascript
-// In the controller
-function config(){
-    verifies(
-        only="create,update",
-        post=true,
-        handler="incorrectRequestType"
-    );
-}  
-    
-function incorrectRequestType(){
-    redirectTo(action="accessDenied");
-}
-```
-
-Note that you have to either do a [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) call or abort the request completely after you've done what you wanted to do inside your handler function. If you don't do anything at all and just let the function exit on its own, Wheels will redirect the user back to the page they came from. In other words, you cannot render any content from inside this function but you can let another function handle that part by redirecting to it.
-
-### Enforcing the Existence and Type of Variables
-
-A very convenient and common use of [verifies()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.verifies.html) is when you want to make sure that a variables exists and is of a certain type; otherwise, you would like for your controller to redirect the user to a different page.
-
-Step back in time for a moment and remember how you used to code websites before Wheels. (Yes I know those were dark days, but stay with me.)
-
-On your `edit.cfm` page, what you probably did was write some code at the top of that looked like this:
-
-```javascript
-<cfif !StructKeyExists(form, "userId") OR !IsValid("guid", form.userId)>
-    <cflocation url="index.cfm" addToken="false">
-</cfif>
-```
-
-With this snippet of code, you could ensure that any request to the `edit.cfm` had to have the `userId` in the form scope and that `userId` had to be of type `guid`. If these conditions weren't met, the request was redirected to the `index.cfm` page. This was a very tedious but necessary task.
-
-Now let's see how using the [verifies()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.verifies.html) function within Wheels improves this:
-
-```javascript
-// In the controller 
-function config(){
-   verifies(
-        only="edit",
-        post=true,
-        params="userId",
-        paramsTypes="guid",
-        action="index",
-        error="Invalid user ID."
-    );
-}
-```
-
-With that one line of code, Wheels will perform the following checks when a request is made to the controller's `edit`action:
-
-* Make sure that the request is a `post` request.
-* Make sure that the `userId` variable exists in the `params` struct.
-* Make sure that the `params.userId` is of type`guid`.
-* If any of those checks fail, redirect the request to the `index` action and place an error key in the Flash containing the message "Invalid user ID."
-
-All that functionality in only one line of code!
-
-What if you wanted do this for two or more variables? The `params` and `paramsTypes` each accept a list so you can include as many variables to check against as you want.
-
-The only thing you need to make sure of is that the number of variables in the `params` list matches the number types to check against in the `paramsTypes` list. This also goes for the `session/sessionTypes` and `cookie/cookieTypes`arguments, which check for existence and type in the `session` and `cookie` scopes, respectively.
-
-### Controller Verification vs. Model Object Validation
-
-[verifies()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.verifies.html) exists solely to validate _controller_ and _environment level_ variables and is not a substitute for [Object Validation](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/object-validation)in your model.
-
-A basic example of this is to validate params passed through to your controller from routes. Suppose we have the following route in our application:
-
-```javascript
-.post(name="usersAddressesSave",
-      pattern="admin/users/[userid]/addresses/save",
-      to="UserAddresses##save")
-```
-
-In this example, we will want to verify that the `userId` integer and `address` struct are both present in the `params`struct and also that `userId` is of a certain type:
-
-```javascript
-verifies(
-    only="save",
-    post=true,
-    params="userId,address",
-    paramsTypes="integer,struct"
-);
-```
-
-However, [verifies()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.verifies.html) should not be used to make sure that values within the address struct themselves are valid (such as making sure that `address.zipCode` is correct). Because the `address` struct will be passed in to the model, the validation will be performed there.

-title: Getting Started
-description: Install Wheels and get a local development server running
----
-
-# Getting Started
-
-The quickest way to get started with Wheels is with a single install command. The `wheels` CLI gives you project scaffolding, code generation, database migrations, testing, and a built-in development server — all in one tool.
-
-If you're already using [CommandBox](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox), it continues to work with Wheels. See the [alternative setup with CommandBox](#alternative-setup-with-commandbox) section below, or the full [Migration Guide](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/cli-guides/migration-from-commandbox/) for a detailed comparison.
-
-## Install Wheels CLI
-
-```bash
-# macOS
-brew tap wheels-dev/wheels
-brew install wheels
-
-# Windows
-choco install wheels
-```
-
-Verify the installation:
-
-```bash
-wheels --version
-```
-
-You should see the Wheels version and banner. Java 21 is installed automatically as a dependency.
-
-## Create Your First Application
-
-### Using the Wizard (Recommended)
-
-The interactive wizard walks you through project setup options — template selection, database configuration, and more:
-
-```bash
-wheels new
-```
-
-Follow the prompts to configure your application. For your first project, the defaults work well.
-
-### Using the Command Line
-
-If you prefer a single command, use `wheels generate app` (or the shorthand `wheels g app`):
-
-```bash
-wheels generate app myApp
-cd myApp
-```
-
-This scaffolds a complete Wheels application with:
-
-- The standard MVC directory structure (`app/controllers/`, `app/models/`, `app/views/`)
-- Configuration files (`config/settings.cfm`, `config/routes.cfm`)
-- An embedded H2 database (ready to use, no setup needed)
-- The Wheels framework in `vendor/wheels/`
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**Command Aliases**
-
-`generate` can be shortened to `g`, so `wheels generate app` and `wheels g app` are identical. LuCLI also supports shorthand aliases for common generators: `m` (model), `c` (controller), `v` (view), `s` (scaffold).
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Start the Development Server
-
-From your application directory, start the embedded Lucee server:
-
-```bash
-wheels start
-```
-
-A browser window will open automatically, showing the Wheels congratulations screen:
-
-![Figure: Wheels congratulations screen](/wheels/guides-assets/a1f5810-Screen\_Shot\_2022-03-25\_at\_8.59.25\_AM.png)
-
-The server runs on a local port (shown in the terminal output). Your application code is served from the `public/` directory, and code changes are reflected immediately — no restart needed.
-
-To stop the server:
-
-```bash
-wheels stop
-```
-
-## Build a Feature
-
-Let's create a simple blog post resource to see the full development workflow.
-
-### 1. Generate a Scaffold
-
-A scaffold creates the model, controller, views, migration, and tests all at once:
-
-```bash
-wheels generate scaffold Post title:string body:text published:boolean
-```
-
-### 2. Run the Migration
-
-Apply the database migration to create the `posts` table:
-
-```bash
-wheels migrate latest
-```
-
-### 3. Add Routes
-
-Open `config/routes.cfm` and add a resource route for posts. Place it before the wildcard route:
-
-```cfm
-mapper()
-    .resources("posts")
-    .wildcard()
-    .root(to="wheels##congratulations", method="get")
-.end();
-```
-
-### 4. Reload and Visit
-
-Reload the application to pick up the new routes:
-
-```bash
-wheels reload
-```
-
-Visit `http://localhost:<port>/posts` in your browser. You now have a working CRUD interface for blog posts — list, create, edit, and delete — all generated from a single command.
-
-## Run Tests
-
-Wheels generates test files alongside your code. Run them with:
-
-```bash
-wheels test
-```
-
-To run tests for a specific area:
-
-```bash
-wheels test --filter=models
-```
-
-## Project Structure
-
-Here's what `wheels generate app` created:
-
-```
-myApp/

-```
-
-**Key files to know:**
-
-| File | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `config/settings.cfm` | Datasource name, reload password, framework settings |
-| `config/routes.cfm` | URL routing — maps URLs to controller actions |
-| `lucee.json` | Server port, JVM settings, Lucee mappings |
-| `app/views/layout.cfm` | HTML layout wrapping all views |
-
-## Configure a Database
-
-New applications come with an embedded H2 database that works out of the box. When you're ready to use MySQL, PostgreSQL, or another database:
-
-1. **Set the datasource name** in `config/settings.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-set(dataSourceName="myapp_dev");
-```
-
-2. **Define the datasource connection** in `config/app.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-this.datasources["myapp_dev"] = {
-    class: "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver",
-    connectionString: "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myapp_dev",
-    username: "root",
-    password: ""
-};
-```
-
-3. **Run migrations** to create your tables:
-
-```bash
-wheels migrate latest
-```
-
-See the [Hello Database](/v4-0-0-snapshot/introduction/readme/beginner-tutorial-hello-database/) tutorial for a complete walkthrough of database interaction.
-
-## Set Up AI-Assisted Development
-
-The Wheels CLI includes a built-in MCP server that integrates with AI editors like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot. This gives your AI assistant direct access to Wheels commands — generating code, running migrations, and running tests.
-
-For Claude Code, add this to your project's `.mcp.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "wheels": {
-      "command": "wheels",
-      "args": ["mcp"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Once configured, your AI editor can use tools like `wheels_generate`, `wheels_migrate`, and `wheels_test` directly.
-
-## Deploy to Production
-
-When you're ready to deploy your Wheels application:
-
-1. **Set the environment** to production in `config/environment.cfm` or via your server's configuration.
-
-2. **Configure a production datasource** in `config/production/settings.cfm`:
-
-```cfm
-set(dataSourceName="myapp_production");
-set(reloadPassword="a-strong-secret");
-```
-
-3. **Run migrations** on the production database:
-
-```bash
-wheels migrate latest
-```
-
-4. **Deploy your code** to a Lucee or Adobe ColdFusion server. Wheels runs on any CFML engine behind Apache, Nginx, IIS, or Tomcat. See the [Requirements](/v4-0-0-snapshot/introduction/requirements/) page for supported engines and databases.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**Docker Deployment**
-
-For containerized deployments, use `wheels docker init` to generate a `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml` tailored to your CFML engine and database. See [Running Local Development Servers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/introduction/readme/running-local-development-servers/) for details.
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Next Steps
-
-You now have a working Wheels application with a database-backed feature, tests, and a development server. Here's where to go next:
-
-- **[Hello World Tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/introduction/readme/beginner-tutorial-hello-world/)** — Build a controller and view from scratch to understand the MVC fundamentals
-- **[Hello Database Tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/introduction/readme/beginner-tutorial-hello-database/)** — Create a full CRUD application with forms, validations, and database interaction
-- **[Conventions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/conventions/)** — Learn the naming conventions that make Wheels productive
-- **[Routing](/v4-0-0-snapshot/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing/)** — Define URL patterns for your application
-- **[CLI Command Reference](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/commands/)** — Explore all available commands
-
-## Alternative Setup with CommandBox
-
-[CommandBox](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox) is a full-featured CFML toolbox that also works with Wheels. It offers additional capabilities like ForgeBox package management and support for both Lucee and Adobe ColdFusion servers.
-
-### Install CommandBox
-
-```bash
-# macOS
-brew install commandbox
-
-# Windows
-choco install commandbox
-```
-
-### Install the Wheels CLI Module
-
-```bash
-box install wheels-cli
-```
-
-### Create and Start an Application
-
-```bash
-wheels new myApp
-cd myApp
-box server start
-```
-
-### Command Differences
-
-The daily workflow is nearly identical. The key differences:
-
-| Task | Wheels CLI | CommandBox |
-|------|-----------|-----------|
-| Install | `brew install wheels` | `brew install commandbox` + `box install wheels-cli` |
-| Start server | `wheels start` | `box server start` |
-| Run migrations | `wheels migrate latest` | `wheels dbmigrate latest` |
-| Run tests | `wheels test` | `wheels test run` |
-| Config file | `lucee.json` | `box.json` + `server.json` |
-| MCP server | `wheels mcp` | Not available |
-
-For a complete mapping of all commands, see the [Migration Guide](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/cli-guides/migration-from-commandbox/).

-title: Frameworks and Wheels
-description: >-
-  Learn the goals of Wheels as well as web development frameworks in general.
-  Then learn more about some key concepts in Wheels.
----
-
-# Frameworks and Wheels
-
-This chapter will introduce you to frameworks in general and later specifically to Wheels. We'll help you decide if you even need a framework at all and what common problems a framework tries to solve. If we're able to convince you that using a framework is the right thing for you, then we'll present our goals with creating Wheels and show you some key Wheels concepts.
-
-So let's get started.
-
-### Do I Really Need to Use a Framework?
-
-Short answer, no. If you don't mind doing the same thing over and over again and are getting paid by the hour to do so, then by all means keep doing that.
-
-Slightly longer answer, no. If you're working on a highly customized project that does not fall within what 9 out of 10 web sites/applications normally do then you likely need a high percentage of custom code, and a framework will not help much.
-
-However, if you're like most of us and have noticed that for every new project you start on--or even every new feature you add to an existing project--you waste a lot of time re-creating the wheel, then you should read on because Wheels may just be the solution for you!
-
-Wheels will make starting a new project or building a new feature quick and painless. You can get straight to solving business problems on day one! To understand how this is achieved, we figured that a little background info on frameworks in general may help you out.
-
-All good frameworks rise from the need to solve real problems in real world situations. Wheels is based heavily on the Rails framework for Ruby and also gets inspiration from Django and, though to a lesser extent, other frameworks in the ColdFusion space (like Fusebox, for example). Over the years the contributors to these frameworks have identified problems and tedious tasks in their own development processes, built a solution for it, and abstracted (made it more generic so it suits any project) the solution into the framework in question. Piggy-backing on what all these great programmers have already created and adding a few nice solutions of our own, Wheels stands on solid ground.
-
-OK, so that was the high level overview of what frameworks are meant to do. But let's get a little more specific.
-
-### Framework Goals in General
-
-Most web development frameworks set out to address some or all of these common concerns:
-
-* Map incoming requests to the code that handles them.
-* Separate your business logic from your presentation code.
-* Let you work at a higher level of abstraction, thus making you work faster.
-* Give you a good code organization structure to follow.
-* Encourage clean and pragmatic design.
-* Simplify saving data to a storage layer.
-
-Like all other good frameworks, Wheels does all this. But there are some subtle differences, and certain things are more important in Wheels than in other frameworks and vice versa. Let's have a look at the specific goals with Wheels so you can see how it relates to the overall goals of frameworks in general.
-
-### Our Goals With Wheels
-
-As we've said before, Wheels is heavily based on Ruby on Rails, but it's not a direct port, and there are some things that have been changed to better fit the CFML language. Here's a brief overview of the goals we're striving for with Wheels (most of these will be covered in greater detail in later chapters):
-
-#### Simplicity
-
-We strive for simplicity on a lot of different levels in Wheels. We'll gladly trade code beauty in the framework's internal code for simplicity for the developers who will use it. This goal to keep things simple is evident in a lot of different areas in Wheels. Here are some of the most notable ones:
-
-* The concept of object oriented programming is very simple and data-centric in Wheels, rather than 100% "pure" at all times.
-* By default, you'll always get a query result set back when dealing with multiple records in Wheels, simply because that is the way we're all used to outputting data.
-* Wheels encourages best practices, but it will never give you an error if you go against any of them.
-* With Wheels, you won't program yourself into a corner. If worse comes to worse, you can always drop right out of the framework and go back to old school code for a while if necessary.
-* Good old CFML code is used for everything, so there is no need to mess with XML for example.
-
-What this means is that you don't have to be a fantastic programmer to use the framework (although it doesn't hurt). It's enough if you're an average programmer. After using Wheels for a while, you'll probably find that you've become a better programmer though!
-
-#### Documentation
-
-If you've ever downloaded a piece of open source software, then you know that most projects lack documentation. Wheels hopes to change that. We're hoping that by putting together complete, up-to-date documentation that this framework will appeal, and be usable, by everyone. Even someone who has little ColdFusion programming background, let alone experience with frameworks.
-
-### Key Wheels Concepts
-
-Besides what is already mentioned above, there are some key concepts in Wheels that makes sense to familiarize yourself with early on. If you don't feel that these concepts are to your liking, feel free to look for a different framework or stick to using no framework at all. Too often programmers choose a framework and spend weeks trying to bend it to do what they want to do rather than follow the framework conventions.
-
-Speaking of conventions, this brings us to the first key concept:
-
-#### Convention Over Configuration
-
-Instead of having to set up tons of configuration variables, Wheels will just assume you want to do things a certain way by using default settings. In fact, you can start programming a Wheels application without setting any configuration variables at all!
-
-If you find yourself constantly fighting the conventions, then that is a hint that you're not yet ready for Wheels or Wheels is not ready for you.
-
-#### Beautiful Code
-
-Beautiful (for lack of a better word) code is code that you can scan through and immediately see what it's meant to do. It's code that is never repeated anywhere else. And, most of all, it's code that you'll enjoy writing and will enjoy coming back to 6 months from now.
-
-Sometimes the Wheels structure itself encourages beautiful code (separating business logic from request handling, for example). Sometimes it's just something that comes naturally after reading documentation, viewing other Wheels applications, and talking to other Wheels developers.
-
-#### Model-View-Controller (MVC)
-
-If you've investigated frameworks in the past, then you've probably heard this terminology before. Model-View-Controller, or MVC, is a way to structure your code so that it is broken down into three easy-to-manage pieces:
-
-* **Model:** Just another name for the representation of data, usually a database table.
-* **View:** What the user or their browser sees and interacts with (a web page in most cases).
-* **Controller:** The behind-the-scenes guy that's coordinating everything.
-
-"Uh, yeah. So what's this got to do with anything?" you may ask. MVC is how Wheels structures your code for you. As you start working with Wheels applications, you'll see that most of the code you write (database queries, forms, and data manipulation) are very nicely separated into one of these three categories.
-
-The benefits of MVC are limitless, but one of the major ones is that you almost always know right where to go when something needs to change.
-
-If you've added a column to the vehicles table in your database and need to give the user the ability to edit that field, all you need to change is your View. That's where the form is presented to the user for editing.
-
-If you find yourself constantly getting a list of all the red cars in your inventory, you can add a new method to your model called `getRedCars()` that does all the work for you. Then when you want that list, just add a call to that method in your controller and you've got 'em!
-
-#### Object Relational Mapping (ORM)
-
-The Object Relational Mapping, or ORM, in Wheels is perhaps the one thing that could potentially speed up your development the most. An ORM handles mapping objects in memory to how they are stored in the database. It can replace a lot of your query writing with simple methods such as `user.save()`, `blogPost.comments(order="date")`, and so on. We'll talk a lot more about the ORM in Wheels in the chapters about models.
-
-### There's Your Explanation
-
-So there you have it, a completely fair and unbiased introduction to Wheels. ;)
-
-If you've been developing ColdFusion applications for a while, then we know this all seems hard to believe. But trust us; it works. And if you're new to ColdFusion or even web development in general, then you probably aren't aware of most of the pains that Wheels was meant to alleviate!
-
-That's okay. You're welcome in the Wheels camp just the same.

-title: Manual Installation
-description: Instructions for installing Wheels on your system.
----
-
-# Manual Installation
-
-Installing Wheels is so simple that there is barely a need for a chapter devoted to it. But we figured we'd better make one anyway in case anyone is specifically looking for a chapter about installation.
-
-So, here are the simple steps you need to follow to get rolling on Wheels...
-
-### Manual Installation
-
-### 1. Download Wheels
-
-You have 2 choices when downloading Wheels. You can either use the latest official release of Wheels, or you can take a walk on the wild side and go with the latest committed source code in our Git repository.
-
-The latest official releases can always be found in the [Releases](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/releases) section of GitHub, and the Git repository is available at our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels).
-
-In most cases, we recommend going with the official release because it's well documented and has been through a lot of bug testing. Only if you're in desperate need of a feature that has not been released yet would we advise you to go with the version stored in the Git `master` branch.
-
-Let's assume you have downloaded the latest official release. (Really, you should go with this option.) You now have a `.zip` file saved somewhere on your computer. On to the next step...
-
-### 2. Setup the Website
-
-Getting an empty website running with Wheels installed is an easy process if you already know your way around IIS or Apache. Basically, you need to create a new website in your web server of choice and unzip the contents of the file into the root of it.
-
-In case you're not sure, here are the instructions for setting up an empty Wheels site that can be accessed when typing `localhost` in your browser. The instructions refer to a system running Windows Server 2003 and IIS, but you should be able to follow along and apply the instructions with minor modifications to your system. (See [Requirements](http://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/introduction/requirements) for a list of tested systems).
-
-* Create a new folder under your web root (usually `C:\Inetpub\wwwroot`) named `wheels_site` and unzip the Wheels `.zip` file into the root of it.
-* Create a new website using IIS called `Wheels Site` with `localhost` as the host header name and `C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite` as the path to your home directory.
-
-If you want to run a Wheels-powered application from a subfolder in an existing website, this is entirely possible, but you may need to get a little creative with your URL rewrite rules if you want to get pretty URLs--it will only work out of the box on recent versions of Apache. (Read more about this in the [URL Rewriting](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/README) chapter.)
-
-### 3. Setup the Database (Optional)
-
-Create a new database in MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite or H2 and add a new data source for it in the ColdFusion/Lucee Administrator, just as you'd normally do. Now open up `/config/settings.cfm` and call `set(dataSourceName="")` with the name you chose for the data source.
-
-If you don't want to be bothered by opening up a Wheels configuration file at all, there is a nice convention you can follow for the naming. Just name your data source with the same name as the folder you are running your website from (`mysite` in the example above), and Wheels will use that when you haven't set the `dataSourceName` setting using the [Set()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/set.html) function.
-
-### 4. Test It
-
-When you've followed the steps above, you can test your installation by typing `http://localhost/` (or whatever you set as the host header name) in your web browser. You should get a "Congratulations!" page.
-
-That's it. You're done. This is where the fun begins!

-title: "Beginner Tutorial: Hello Database"
-description: >-
-  A quick tutorial that demonstrates how quickly you can get database
-  connectivity up and running with Wheels.
----
-
-# Beginner Tutorial: Hello Database
-
-Wheels's built in model provides your application with some simple and powerful functionality for interacting with databases. To get started, you will make some simple configurations, call some functions within your controllers, and that's it. Best yet, you will rarely ever need to write SQL code to get those redundant CRUD tasks out of the way.
-
-### Our Sample Application: User Management
-
-We'll learn by building part of a sample user management application. This tutorial will teach you the basics of setting up a resource that interacts with the Wheels ORM.
-
-### Setting up the Data Source
-
-By default, Wheels will connect to a data source `wheels-dev`. To change this default behavior, open the file at `/config/settings.cfm`. In a fresh install of Wheels, you'll see the follwing code:
-
-{% code title="/config/settings.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfscript>
-	/*
-		Use this file to configure your application.
-		You can also use the environment specific files (e.g. /config/production/settings.cfm) to override settings set here.
-		Don't forget to issue a reload request (e.g. reload=true) after making changes.
-		See https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults for more info.
-	*/
-
-	/*
-		You can change the "wheels.dev" value from the two functions below to set your datasource.
-		You can change the the value for the "dataSourceName" to set a default datasource to be used throughout your application.
-		You can also change the value for the "coreTestDataSourceName" to set your testing datasource.
-		You can also uncomment the 2 "set" functions below them to set the username and password for the datasource.
-	*/
-	set(coreTestDataSourceName="wheels-dev");
-	set(dataSourceName="wheels-dev");
-	// set(dataSourceUserName="");
-	// set(dataSourcePassword="");
-
-	/*
-		If you comment out the following line, Wheels will try to determine the URL rewrite capabilities automatically.
-		The "URLRewriting" setting can bet set to "on", "partial" or "off".
-		To run with "partial" rewriting, the "cgi.path_info" variable needs to be supported by the web server.
-		To run with rewriting set to "on", you need to apply the necessary rewrite rules on the web server first.
-	*/
-	set(URLRewriting="On");
-
-	// Reload your application with ?reload=true&password=wheels.dev
-	set(reloadPassword="wheels-dev");
-
-	// CLI-Appends-Here
-</cfscript>
-
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-These lines provide Wheels with the necessary information about the data source, URL rewriting, and reload password for your application, and include the appropriate values. This may include values for `dataSourceName`, `dataSourceUserName`, and `dataSourcePassword`. More on URL rewriting and reload password later.
-
-{% code title="/config/settings.cfm" %}
-```warpscript
-set(dataSourceName="back2thefuture");
-// set(dataSourceUserName="marty");
-// set(dataSourcePassword="mcfly");
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Datasource Configuration Methods
-
-In Wheels applications, you typically configure **which datasource to use** in `/config/settings.cfm`.  
-The **actual datasource definitions** should be added in `/config/app.cfm`.
-
-Wheels will look for the datasource defined in `settings.cfm` and match it against what you’ve defined in `app.cfm` or through your CFML engine’s administrator.
-
----
-
-#### Option 1: Datasource Configuration via Administrator (Adobe & Lucee)
-
-You can manage datasources through the Administrator interface of your CFML engine:
-
-1. Access your CFML administrator (Adobe ColdFusion Administrator or Lucee Server/Web Administrator).  
-2. Navigate to the **Datasource** section.  
-3. Create a new datasource with the **exact same name** as the one you’ve set in `settings.cfm` (`dataSourceName`).  
-4. Provide connection details (JDBC driver, connection string, username, password).  
-5. Configure optional features like connection pooling and validation queries.
-
-This method lets you manage database connectivity centrally in the engine’s admin console.
-
----
-
-#### Option 2: Datasource Configuration via `/config/app.cfm` (Lucee & BoxLang)
-
-You can also define datasources programmatically in your Wheels application using the `this.datasources` struct inside `/config/app.cfm`.  
-This approach works in **Lucee** and **BoxLang** without needing Administrator access.
-
-{% code title="/config/app.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-component {
-    this.name = "WheelsApp";
-    
-    // Define a datasource for use in settings.cfm
-    this.datasources["wheels-dev"] = {
-        class: "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver",
-        connectionString: "yourConnectionString",
-        username: "yourUsername",
-        password: "yourPassword"
-    };
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Regardless of which method you choose, ensure that the datasource name and configuration in your Wheels configuration matches exactly with the datasource created in your CFML engine.
-
-### Our Sample Data Structure
-
-Wheels supports MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite and H2. It doesn't matter which DBMS you use for this tutorial; we will all be writing the same CFML code to interact with the database. Wheels does everything behind the scenes that needs to be done to work with each DBMS.
-
-That said, here's a quick look at a table that you'll need in your database, named `users`:
-
-| Column Name | Data Type    | Extra          |
-| ----------- | ------------ | -------------- |
-| id          | int          | auto increment |
-| username    | varchar(100) |                |
-| email       | varchar(255) |                |
-| passwd      | varchar(15)  |                |
-
-Note a couple things about this `users` table:
-
-1. The table name is plural.
-2. The table has an auto-incrementing primary key named `id`.
-
-These are database [conventions](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/conventions) used by Wheels. This framework strongly encourages that everyone follow _convention over configuration_. That way everyone is doing things mostly the same way, leading to less maintenance and training headaches down the road.
-
-Fortunately, there are ways of going outside of these conventions when you really need it. But let's learn the conventional way first. Sometimes you need to learn the rules before you can know how to break them.
-
-### Creating Routes for the users Resource
-
-Next, open the file at `/config/routes.cfm`. You will see contents similar to this:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .wildcard()
-    .root(method = "get")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-We are going to create a section of our application for listing, creating, updating, and deleting user records. In Wheels routing, this requires a plural resource, which we'll name `users`.
-
-Because a `users` resource is more specific than the "generic" routes provided by Wheels, we'll list it first in the chain of mapper method calls:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .resources("users")
-    .wildcard()
-    .root(method = "get")
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This will create URL endpoints for creating, reading, updating, and deleting user records:
-
-| Name     | Method | URL Path          | Description                                      |
-| -------- | ------ | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
-| users    | GET    | /users            | Lists users                                      |
-| newUsers | GET    | /users/new        | Display a form for creating a user record        |
-| users    | POST   | /users            | Form posts a new user record to be created       |
-| editUser | GET    | /users/\[id]/edit | Displays a form for editing a user record        |
-| user     | PATCH  | /users/\[id]      | Form posts an existing user record to be updated |
-| user     | DELETE | /users/\[id]      | Deletes a user record                            |
-
-* _Name_ is referenced in your code to tell Wheels where to point forms and links.
-* _Method_ is the HTTP verb that Wheels listens for to match up the request.
-* _URL Path_ is the URL that Wheels listens for to match up the request.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**Don't forget to reload**
-
-You will need to reload your application after adding new routes!
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Creating Users
-
-First, let's create a simple form for adding a new user to the `users` table. To do this, we will use Wheels's _form helper_ functions. Wheels includes a whole range of functions that simplifies all of the tasks that you need to display forms and communicate errors to the user.
-
-#### Creating the Form
-
-Now create a new file in `/app/views/users` called `new.cfm`. This will contain the view code for our simple form.
-
-Next, add these lines of code to the new file:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/users/new.cfm" %}
-```markup
-<cfoutput>
-
-<h1>New User</h1>
-
-#startFormTag(route="users")#
-    <div>
-        #textField(objectName="user", property="username", label="Username")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        #textField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        #passwordField(
-            objectName="user",
-            property="passwd",
-            label="Password"
-        )#
-    </div>
-
-    <div>#submitTag()#</div>
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-#### Form Helpers
-
-What we've done here is use form helpers to generate all of the form fields necessary for creating a new user in our database. It may feel a little strange using functions to generate form elements, but it will soon become clear why we're doing this. Trust us on this one… you'll love it!
-
-To generate the form tag's `action` attribute, the [startFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startformtag.html) function takes parameters similar to the [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html)function that we introduced in the Beginner Tutorial: Hello World tutorial. We can pass in `controller, action, key`, and other route- and parameter-defined URLs just like we do with [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html).
-
-To end the form, we use the [endFormTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.endformtag.html) function. Easy enough.
-
-The [textField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textfield.html) and [passwordField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.passwordfield.html) helpers are similar. As you probably guessed, they create `<input>` elements with `type="text"` and `type="password"`, respectively. And the [submitTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.submittag.html) function creates an `<input type="submit" />` element.
-
-One thing you'll notice is the [textField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.textfield.html) and [passwordField()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.startformtag.html) functions accept arguments called `objectName` and `property`. As it turns out, this particular view code will throw an error because these functions are expecting an object named `user`. Let's fix that.
-
-#### Supplying the Form with Data
-
-All of the form helper calls in our view specify an `objectName` argument with a reference to a variable named `user`. That means that we need to supply our view code with an object called `user`. Because the controller is responsible for providing the views with data, we'll set it there.
-
-Create a new ColdFusion component at `/app/controllers/Users.cfc`.
-
-As it turns out, our controller needs to provide the view with a blank `user` object (whose instance variable will also be called `user` in this case). In our new action, we will use the [model()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.model.html) function to generate a new instance of the user model.
-
-To get a blank set of properties in the model, we'll also call the generated model's [new()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.new.html) method.
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config(){}
-
-    function new() {
-        user = model("user").new();
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Wheels will automatically know that we're talking about the `users` database table when we instantiate a `user` model. The convention: database tables are plural and their corresponding Wheels models are singular.
-
-Why is our model name singular instead of plural? When we're talking about a single record in the `users` database, we represent that with an individual model object. So the `users` table contains many `user` objects. It just works better in conversation.
-
-#### The Generated Form
-
-Now when we run the URL at `http://localhost:8080/users/new`, we'll see the form with the fields that we defined.
-
-The HTML generated by your application will look something like this:
-
-{% code title="/users/new" %}
-```markup
-<h1>New User</h1>
-
-<form action="/users" method="post">
-    <div>
-        <label for="user-username">
-            Username
-            <input id="user-username" type="text" value="" name="user&#x5b;username&#x5d;">
-        </label>
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        <label for="user-email">
-            Email
-            <input id="user-email" type="text" value="" name="user&#x5b;email&#x5d;">
-        </label>
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        <label for="user-passwd">
-            Password
-            <input id="user-passwd" type="password" value="" name="user&#x5b;passwd&#x5d;">
-        </label>
-    </div>
-
-    <div><input value="Save&#x20;changes" type="submit"></div>
-</form>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-So far we have a fairly well-formed, accessible form, without writing a bunch of repetitive markup.
-
-#### Handling the Form Submission
-
-Next, we'll code the `create` action in the controller to handle the form submission and save the new user to the database.
-
-A basic way of doing this is using the model object's [create()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.create.html) method:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function create() {
-    user = model("user").create(params.user);
-
-    redirectTo(
-        route="users",
-        success="User created successfully."
-    );
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Because we used the `objectName` argument in the fields of our form, we can access the user data as a struct in the `params` struct.
-
-There are more things that we can do in the `create` action to handle validation, but let's keep it simple in this tutorial.
-
-### Listing Users
-
-Notice that our `create` action above redirects the user to the `users` index route using the [redirectTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.redirectto.html) function. We'll use this action to list all users in the system with "Edit" links. We'll also provide a link to the "New User" form that we just coded.
-
-First, let's get the data that the listing needs. Create an action named `index` in the `users` controller like so:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function index() {
-    users = model("user").findAll(order="username");
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This call to the model's [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) method will return a query object of all users in the system. By using the method's `order` argument, we're also telling the database to order the records by `username`.
-
-In the view at `/app/views/users/index.cfm`, it's as simple as looping through the query and outputting the data
-
-{% code title="/app/views/users/index.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-<h1>Users</h1>
-
-<p>#linkTo(text="New User", route="newUser")#</p>
-
-<table>
-    <thead>
-        <tr>
-            <th>Username</th>
-            <th>Email</th>
-            <th colspan="2"></th>
-        </tr>
-    </thead>
-    <tbody>
-        <cfloop query="users">
-            <tr>
-                <td>
-                    #EncodeForHtml(users.username)#
-                </td>
-                <td>
-                    #EncodeForHtml(users.email)#
-                </td>
-                <td>
-                    #linkTo(
-                        text="Edit",
-                        route="editUser",
-                        key=users.id,
-                        title="Edit #users.username#"
-                    )#
-                </td>
-                <td>
-                    #buttonTo(
-                        text="Delete",
-                        route="user",
-                        key=users.id,
-                        method="delete",
-                        title="Delete #users.username#"
-                    )#
-                </td>
-            </tr>
-        </cfloop>
-    </tbody>
-</table>
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**When to use `EncodeForHtml`**
-
-You'll see references to `EncodeForHtml` in some of our examples that output data. This helps escape HTML code in data that attackers could use to embed inject harmful JavaScript. (This is commonly referred to as an "XSS attack," short for "Cross-site Scripting attack.")
-
-A rule of thumb: you do not need to use `EncodeForHtml` when passing values into Wheels helpers like `linkTo`, `buttonTo`, `startFormTag`, `textField`, etc. However, you need to escape data that is displayed directly onto the page without a Wheels helper.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Editing Users
-
-We'll now show another cool aspect of form helpers by creating a screen for editing users.
-
-#### Coding the Edit Form
-
-You probably noticed in the code listed above that we'll have an action for editing a single `users` record. We used the [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) form helper function to add an "Edit" button to the form. This action expects a `key` as well.
-
-Because in the [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) form helper function we specified the parameter `key`, Wheels adds this parameter into the URL when generating the route.
-
-Wheels will automatically add the provided 'key' from the URL to the params struct in the controllers edit() function.
-
-Given the provided `key`, we'll have the action load the appropriate `user` object to pass on to the view:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function edit() {
-    user = model("user").findByKey(params.key);
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The view at `/app/views/users/edit.cfm` looks almost exactly the same as the view for creating a user:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/users/edit.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-<h1>Edit User #EncodeForHtml(user.username)#</h1>
-
-#startFormTag(route="user", key=user.key(), method="patch")#
-    <div>
-        #textField(objectName="user", property="username", label="Username")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        #textField(objectName="user", property="email", label="Email")#
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        #passwordField(
-            objectName="user",
-            property="passwd",
-            label="Password"
-        )#
-    </div>
-
-    <div>#submitTag()#</div>
-#endFormTag()#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-But an interesting thing happens. Because the form fields are bound to the `user` object via the form helpers' `objectName` arguments, the form will automatically provide default values based on the object's properties.
-
-With the `user` model populated, we'll end up seeing code similar to this:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/users/edit.cfm" %}
-```html
-<h1>Edit User Homer Simpson</h1>
-
-<form action="/users/1" method="post">
-    <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="patch">
-
-    <div>
-        <input type="hidden" name="user&#x5b;id&#x5d;" value="15">
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        <label for="user-username">
-            Name
-            <input
-                id="user-username"
-                type="text"
-                value="Homer Simpson"
-                name="user&#x5b;username&#x5d;">
-        </label>
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        <label for="user-email">
-            Email
-            <input
-                id="user-email"
-                type="text"
-                value="homerj@nuclearpower.com"
-                name="user&#x5b;email&#x5d;">
-        </label>
-    </div>
-
-    <div>
-        <label for="user-passwd">
-            Password
-            <input
-                id="user-passwd"
-                type="password"
-                value="donuts.mmm"
-                name="user&#x5b;passwd&#x5d;">
-        </label>
-    </div>
-
-    <div><input value="Save&#x20;changes" type="submit"></div>
-</form>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Pretty cool, huh?
-
-#### Opportunities for Refactoring
-
-There's a lot of repetition in the `new` and `edit` forms. You'd imagine that we could factor out most of this code into a single view file. To keep this tutorial from becoming a book, we'll just continue on knowing that this could be better.
-
-#### Handing the Edit Form Submission
-
-Now we'll create the `update` action. This will be similar to the `create` action, except it will be updating the user object:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function update() {
-    user = model("user").findByKey(params.key);
-    user.update(params.user);
-
-    redirectTo(
-        route="editUser",
-        key=user.id,
-        success="User updated successfully."
-    );
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-To update the `user`, simply call its [update()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.update.html) method with the `user` struct passed from the form via `params`. It's that simple.
-
-After the update, we'll add a success message [using the Flash](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/using-the-flash) and send the end user back to the edit form in case they want to make more changes.
-
-### Deleting Users
-
-Notice in our listing above that we have a `delete` action. Here's what it would look like:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-function delete() {
-    user = model("user").findByKey(params.key);
-    user.delete();
-
-    redirectTo(
-        route="users",
-        success="User deleted successfully."
-    );
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-We simply load the user using the model's [findByKey()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findbykey.html) method and then call the object's [delete()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.delete.html) method. That's all there is to it.
-
-### Database Says Hello
-
-We've shown you quite a few of the basics in getting a simple user database up and running. We hope that this has whet your appetite to see some of the power packed into the Wheels framework. There's plenty more.
-
-Be sure to read on to some of the related chapters listed below to learn more about working with Wheels's ORM.

-title: "Beginner Tutorial: Hello World"
-description: >-
-  In this tutorial, we'll be writing a simple application to make sure we have
-  Wheels installed properly and that everything is working as it should.
----
-
-# Beginner Tutorial: Hello World
-
-### Testing Your Install
-
-Let's make sure we're all on the same page. I'm going to assume that you've followed the [Getting Started](/v4-0-0-snapshot/) guide, installed the Wheels CLI via Homebrew or Chocolatey, and have Wheels set up. If you haven't done that, stop and read that guide to get everything installed. It's okay, this web page will wait for you.
-
-Okay, so you have Wheels installed and can see the Wheels "Congratulations!" page as shown below. That wasn't that hard now, was it?
-
-![Figure 1: Wheels congratulations screen](/wheels/guides-assets/a1f5810-Screen\_Shot\_2022-03-25\_at\_8.59.25\_AM.png)
-
-### Hello World: Your First Wheels App
-
-Okay, let's get to some example code. We know that you've been dying to get your hands on some code!
-
-To continue with Programming Tutorial Tradition, we'll create the ubiquitous _Hello World!_ application. But to keep things interesting, let's add a little Wheels magic along the way.
-
-### Setting up the Controller
-
-Let's create a controller from scratch to illustrate how easy it is to set up a controller and plug it into the Wheels framework.
-
-First, create a file called `Say.cfc` in the `/app/controllers` directory and add the code below to the file.
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Say.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller"{
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Congratulations, you just created your first Wheels controller! What does this controller do, you might ask? Well, to be honest, not much. It has no methods defined, so it doesn't add any new functionality to our application. But because it extends the base `Controller` component, it inherits quite a bit of powerful functionality and is now tied into our Wheels application.
-
-So what happens if we try to call our new controller right now? Let's take a look. Open your browser and point it at the new controller. When you run `wheels server start`, the dev server listens on port 8080 by default, so the URL is `http://127.0.0.1:8080/say`. You may need a different URL depending on how your server is configured.
-
-![Figure 2: Wheels error after setting up your blank say controller](/wheels/guides-assets/660aaf3-wheels-tutorial\_0005\_2.png)
-
-The error says "Could not find the view page for the 'index' action in the 'say' controller." Where did "index" come from? The URL we typed in only specified a controller name but no action. When an action is not specified in the URL, Wheels assumes that we want the default action. Out of the box, the default action in Wheels is set to `index`. So in our example, Wheels tried to find the `index` action within the `say` controller, and it threw an error because it couldn't find its view page.
-
-### Setting up an Action
-
-But let's jump ahead. Now that we have the controller created, let's add an action to it called `hello`. Change your `say` controller so it looks like the code block below:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Say.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function hello() {
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-As you can see, we created an empty method named `hello`.
-
-Now let's call our new action in the browser and see what we get. To call the `hello` action, we simply add `/hello` to the end of the previous URL that we used to call our `say` controller:
-
-`http://127.0.0.1:60000/say/hello`
-
-Once again, we get a ColdFusion error. Although we have created the controller and added the `hello` action to it, we haven't created the view.
-
-### Setting up the View
-
-By default, when an action is called, Wheels will look for a view file with the same name as the action. It then hands off the processing to the view to display the user interface. In our case, Wheels tried to find a view file for our `say/hello` action and couldn't find one.
-
-Let's remedy the situation and create a view file. View files are simple CFML pages that handle the output of our application. In most cases, views will return HTML code to the browser. By default, the view files will have the same name as our controller actions and will be grouped into a directory under the view directory. This new directory will have the same name as our controller.
-
-Find the `views` directory inside the `app` directory, located at `/` in your Wheels installation. There will be a few directories in there already. For now, we need to create a new directory in the `views` directory called `say`. This is the same name as the controller that we created above.
-
-Now inside the `say` directory, create a file called `hello.cfm`. In the `hello.cfm` file, add the following line of code:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/say/hello.cfm" %}
-```html
-<h1>Hello World!</h1>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Save your `hello.cfm` file, and let's call our `say/hello` action once again. You have your first working Wheels page if your browser looks like _Figure 3_ below.
-
-![Figure 3: Your first working Wheels action.](/wheels/guides-assets/5298d15-wheels-tutorial\_0004\_3.png)
-
-You have just created your first functional Wheels page, albeit it is a very simple one. Pat yourself on the back, go grab a snack, and when you're ready, let's go on and extend the functionality of our _Hello World!_ application a little more.
-
-### Adding Dynamic Content to Your View
-
-We will add some simple dynamic content to our `hello` action and add a second action to the application. We'll then use some Wheels code to tie the 2 actions together. Let's get get to it!
-
-#### The Dynamic Content
-
-The first thing we are going to do is to add some dynamic content to our `say/hello` action. Modify your `say` controller so it looks like the code block below:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Say.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function hello() {
-        time = Now();
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-All we are doing here is creating a variable called `time` and setting its value to the current server time using the basic ColdFusion `Now()` function. When we do this, the variable becomes immediately available to our view code.
-
-Why not just set up this value directly in the view? If you think about it, maybe the logic behind the value of time may eventually change. What if eventually we want to display its value based on the user's time zone? What if later we decide to pull it from a web service instead? Remember, the controller is supposed to coordinate all of the data and business logic, not the view.
-
-#### Displaying the Dynamic Content
-
-Next, we will modify our `say/hello.cfm` view file so that it looks like the code block below. When we do this, the value will be displayed in the browser.
-
-{% code title="/app/views/say/hello.cfm" %}
-```html
-<h1>Hello World!</h1>
-<p>Current time: <cfoutput>#time#</cfoutput></p>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-call your `say/hello` action again in your browser. Your browser should look like _Figure 4_ below.
-
-![Figure 4: Hello World with the current date and time](/wheels/guides-assets/9f1a966-wheels-tutorial\_0003\_4.png)
-
-This simple example showed that any dynamic content created in a controller action is available to the corresponding view file. In our application, we created a `time` variable in the `say/hello` controller action and display that variable in our `say/hello.cfm` view file.
-
-### Adding a Second Action: Goodbye
-
-Now we will expand the functionality of our application once again by adding a second action to our `say` controller. If you feel adventurous, go ahead and add a `goodbye` action to the `say` controller on your own, then create a `goodbye.cfm` view file that displays a "Goodbye" message to the user. If you're not feeling that adventurous, we'll quickly go step by step.
-
-First, modify the the `say` controller file so that it looks like the code block below.
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Say.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function hello() {
-        time = Now();
-    }
-
-    function goodbye() {
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Now go to the `/app/views/say` directory and create a `goodbye.cfm` page.
-
-Add the following code to the `goodbye.cfm` page and save it.
-
-{% code title="/app/views/say/goodbye.cfm" %}
-```
-Goodbye World!
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-If we did everything right, we should be able to call the new `say/goodbye` action using the following URL:
-
-`http://127.0.0.1:60000/say/goodbye`
-
-Your browser should look like _Figure 5_ below:
-
-![Figure 5: Your new goodbye action](/wheels/guides-assets/4d9523e-wheels-tutorial\_0002\_5.png)
-
-### Linking to Other Actions
-
-Now let's link our two actions together. We will do this by adding a link to the bottom of each page so that it calls the other page.
-
-#### Linking Hello to Goodbye
-
-Open the `say/hello.cfm` view file. We are going to add a line of code to the end of this file so our `say/hello.cfm` view file looks like the code block below:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/say/hello.cfm" %}
-```html
-<h1>Hello World!</h1>
-<p>Current time: <cfoutput>#time#</cfoutput></p>
-<p>Time to say <cfoutput>#linkTo(text="goodbye", action="goodbye")#?</cfoutput></p>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The [linkTo()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.linkto.html) function is a built-in Wheels function. In this case, we are passing 2 named parameters to it. The first parameter, `text`, is the text that will be displayed in the hyperlink. The second parameter, `action`, defines the action to point the link to. By using this built-in function, your application's main URL may change, and even controllers and actions may get shifted around, but you won't suffer from the dreaded dead link. Wheels will always create a valid link for you as long as you configure it correctly when you make infrastructure changes to your application.
-
-Once you have added the additional line of code to the end of the `say/hello.cfm` view file, save your file and call the `say/hello` action from your browser. Your browser should look like _Figure 6_ below.
-
-![Figure 6: Your say/hello action with a link to the goodbye action](/wheels/guides-assets/f600144-wheels-tutorial\_0001\_6.png)
-
-You can see that Wheels created a link for us and added an appropriate URL for the `say/goodbye` action to the link.
-
-#### Linking Goodbye to Hello
-
-Let's complete our little app and add a corresponding link to the bottom of our `say/goodbye.cfm` view page.
-
-Open your `say/goodbye.cfm` view page and modify it so it looks like the code block below.
-
-{% code title="/app/views/say/goodbye.cfm" %}
-```html
-<h1>Goodbye World!</h1>
-<p>Time to say <cfoutput>#linkTo(text="hello", action="hello")#?</cfoutput></p>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-If you now call the `say/goodbye` action in your browser, your browser should look like _Figure 7_ below.
-
-![Figure 7: Your say/goodbye action with a link to the hello action](/wheels/guides-assets/fc38a30-wheels-tutorial\_0000\_7.png)
-
-### Much More to Learn
-
-You now know enough to be dangerous with Wheels. Look out! But there are many more powerful features to cover. You may have noticed that we haven't even talked about the M in MVC.
-
-No worries. We will get there. And we think you will enjoy it.

-title: BoxLang Server Setup
----
-# BoxLang Server Setup
-
-Wheels supports BoxLang 1.x, providing developers with a modern, high-performance CFML runtime. You can run BoxLang applications using either CommandBox or BoxLang Mini-Server.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- **Java 21 or higher** installed on your system
-- **Wheels application** (generated or existing)
-- **BoxLang runtime** (see installation options below)
-
-## Method 1: Using CommandBox (Recommended)
-
-CommandBox provides the easiest and most feature-rich way to run BoxLang applications with Wheels.
-
-### Installation and Setup
-
-```bash
-# Install BoxLang engine in CommandBox
-box install boxlang
-
-# Start server with BoxLang
-box server start cfengine=boxlang
-
-# Or specify specific BoxLang version (optional)
-box server start cfengine=boxlang@1.6.0
-```
-
-### BoxLang Module Dependencies
-
-BoxLang requires specific modules for full Wheels compatibility. These dependencies should be added to your `box.json` file:
-
-```json
-{
-  "dependencies": {
-    "bx-compat-cfml": "^1.27.0+35",
-    "bx-csrf": "^1.2.0+3", 
-    "bx-esapi": "^1.6.0+9",
-    "bx-image": "^1.0.1",
-    "bx-wddx":"^1.5.0+8",
-    "bx-mysql": "^1.0.1+7"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### Installing Dependencies
-
-```bash
-# Install all dependencies from box.json
-box install
-
-# Or install specific BoxLang modules individually
-box install bx-compat-cfml
-box install bx-csrf
-box install bx-esapi
-box install bx-image
-box install bx-wddx
-box install bx-mysql
-```
-
-#### Module Descriptions
-
-- **`bx-compat-cfml`** - CFML compatibility layer for BoxLang
-- **`bx-csrf`** - Cross-Site Request Forgery protection
-- **`bx-esapi`** - Enterprise Security API for input validation  
-- **`bx-image`** - Image manipulation functionality
-- **`bx-wddx`** - Web Distributed Data eXchange (WDDX) conversion
-- **`bx-mysql`** - MySQL database driver
-
-#### Additional Database Support
-
-For other databases supported by Wheels, install the corresponding BoxLang modules:
-
-- **Microsoft SQL Server**: `box install bx-mssql`
-- **PostGreSQL Server**: `box install bx-postgresql`
-- **Oracle Server**: `box install bx-oracle`
-- **SQLite Server**: `box install bx-sqlite`
-
-#### Finding Additional Modules
-
-For any additional functionality or database drivers not included in the core dependencies:
-- **Browse ForgeBox**: Visit [forgebox.io](https://www.forgebox.io)
-- **Search for BoxLang modules**: Look for modules with `bx-` prefix
-- **Copy install command**: Each module page provides the exact `box install` command
-- **Install the module**: Run the command in your project directory
-
-Example: For Microsoft SQL Server support, visit the `bx-mssql` module page on ForgeBox and copy the installation command.
-
-### Server Configuration
-
-Create a `server.json` file in your application root to persist BoxLang settings:
-
-```json
-{
-    "name":"wheels",
-    "web":{
-        "host":"localhost",
-        "http":{
-            "port":3000
-        },
-        "webroot":"public",
-        "rewrites":{
-            "enable":true,
-            "config":"public/urlrewrite.xml"
-        }
-    },
-    "app": {
-        "cfengine": "boxlang"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Development Workflow
-
-```bash
-# Generate new Wheels app (if needed)
-wheels g app myapp --engine=boxlang
-
-# Navigate to app directory
-cd myapp
-
-# Install BoxLang dependencies
-box install
-
-# Start BoxLang development server  
-server start cfengine=boxlang
-
-# Access your application at http://localhost:8080
-```
-
-## Method 2: Using BoxLang Mini-Server
-
-BoxLang Mini-Server provides a lightweight, standalone option perfect for minimal setups or specific deployment scenarios.
-
-### Installation
-
-BoxLang Mini-Server can be downloaded directly from the official BoxLang releases. The latest version is fully compatible with Wheels.
-
-**Download the latest BoxLang Mini-Server:**
-
-```bash
-# Download the latest BoxLang Mini-Server JAR file
-curl -LO https://downloads.ortussolutions.com/ortussolutions/boxlang-runtimes/boxlang-miniserver/boxlang-miniserver-latest.jar
-```
-
-### Installation Steps

-1. **Download BoxLang Mini-Server Package** (optional, for additional files)
-
-   ```bash
-   # Download complete package with additional files
-   curl -LO https://downloads.ortussolutions.com/ortussolutions/boxlang-runtimes/boxlang-miniserver/boxlang-miniserver-latest.zip
-   unzip boxlang-miniserver.zip
-   ```
-
-2. **Prepare Your Application Structure**
-
-   ```
-   your-wheels-app/
-   ├── config/           # Configuration files
-   ├── app/             # Controllers, models, views
-   ├── public/          # Web-accessible files
-   │   ├── index.bxm    # BoxLang entry point (required)
-   │   ├── stylesheets/
-   │   ├── javascripts/
-   │   └── images/
-   └── vendor/wheels/   # Wheels framework files
-   ```
-
-3. **Setup BoxLang Entry Point**
-
-   Create an `index.bxm` file in your `public/` folder with the following content:
-
-   ```boxlang
-   <bx:script>
-   // BoxLang rewrite handler for Wheels
-   // This file handles URL rewriting for BoxLang compatibility
-
-   // Get the requested URI
-   requestURI = cgi.request_uri ?: "";
-
-   // Remove query string for pattern matching  
-   if (find("?", requestURI)) {
-       requestURI = listFirst(requestURI, "?");
-   }
-
-   // Handle requests that come through /index.bxm/path - redirect to clean URL
-   if (find("/index.bxm/", requestURI)) {
-       cleanPath = replace(requestURI, "/index.bxm", "");
-       queryString = cgi.query_string ?: "";
-       redirectURL = cleanPath;
-       if (len(queryString)) {
-           redirectURL &= "?" & queryString;
-       }
-       bx:header name="Location" value=redirectURL;
-       bx:header statusCode=301;
-       bx:abort;
-   }
-
-   // Static paths that should not be rewritten (based on urlrewrite.xml)
-   staticPaths = "cf_script,flex2gateway,jrunscripts,CFIDE,lucee,cfformgateway,cffileservlet,files,images,javascripts,miscellaneous,stylesheets,wheels/public/assets";
-   specialFiles = "robots.txt,favicon.ico,sitemap.xml,index.cfm";
-
-   // Check if this is a static path or special file
-   isStatic = false;
-
-   if (len(requestURI) && requestURI != "/") {
-       cleanPath = right(requestURI, len(requestURI) - 1); // Remove leading slash
-       
-       // Check special files first
-       fileName = listLast(requestURI, "/");
-       if (listFindNoCase(specialFiles, fileName)) {
-           isStatic = true;
-       }
-       
-       // Check static paths
-       if (!isStatic) {
-           for (staticPath in listToArray(staticPaths)) {
-               if (left(cleanPath, len(staticPath)) == staticPath) {
-                   isStatic = true;
-                   break;
-               }
-           }
-       }
-       
-       // Check file extensions for static files
-       if (!isStatic && listLen(cleanPath, ".") > 1) {
-           extension = listLast(cleanPath, ".");
-           staticExtensions = "js,css,png,jpg,jpeg,gif,ico,pdf,zip,txt,xml,json";
-           if (listFindNoCase(staticExtensions, extension)) {
-               isStatic = true;
-           }
-       }
-   }
-
-   // If it's a static file, let it pass through
-   if (isStatic) {
-       bx:header statusCode=404;
-       writeOutput("File not found");
-       bx:abort;
-   }
-
-   // Set up CGI variables for clean URL generation
-   if (len(requestURI) && requestURI != "/") {
-       cgi.path_info = requestURI;
-   }
-
-   // Override script name for clean URL generation
-   cgi.script_name = "/index.cfm";
-
-   // Clean up request URI
-   if (find("/index.bxm", cgi.request_uri ?: "")) {
-       cgi.request_uri = replace(cgi.request_uri, "/index.bxm", "");
-   }
-
-   // Update request scope for Wheels compatibility
-   if (structKeyExists(request, "cgi")) {
-       request.cgi.script_name = "/index.cfm";
-       if (structKeyExists(request.cgi, "request_uri") && find("/index.bxm", request.cgi.request_uri)) {
-           request.cgi.request_uri = replace(request.cgi.request_uri, "/index.bxm", "");
-       }
-   }
-   </bx:script>
-
-   <!--- Include the main Wheels bootstrap file --->
-   <bx:include template="index.cfm" />
-   ```
-
-   This file serves as the BoxLang-specific entry point that handles URL rewriting and bootstraps your Wheels application.
-
-### Starting BoxLang Mini-Server
-
-#### Basic Command
-
-```bash
-java -jar /path/to/boxlang-miniserver-1.6.0.jar \
-  --webroot /path/to/your/app/public \

-```
-
-#### Full Configuration Example
-
-```bash
-java -jar /path/to/boxlang-miniserver-1.6.0.jar \
-  --webroot /path/to/your/app/public \
-  --host 127.0.0.1 \
-  --port 8080 \
-  --rewrite \
-  --debug
-```
-
-#### For Wheels Template Structure
-
-If using the Wheels base template structure:
-
-```bash
-java -jar /path/to/boxlang-miniserver-1.6.0.jar \

-
-You can read the further details from the boxlang mini-server documentation
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **Missing BoxLang Dependencies (CommandBox)**
-   - **Problem**: Functions or features not working, missing module errors
-   - **Solution**: Ensure all required BoxLang modules are installed: `box install`
-   - **Check**: Verify `box.json` contains all required `bx-*` dependencies
-
-2. **Missing index.bxm File (Mini-Server)**
-   - **Problem**: Server returns 404 or directory listing
-   - **Solution**: Create `index.bxm` in your `public/` folder using the complete file content provided above in the Setup steps
-
-3. **URL Routing Not Working**
-   - **Problem**: Routes return 404 errors
-   - **Solution**: Always include the `--rewrite` flag when starting Mini-Server
-
-4. **Version Compatibility Issues**
-   - **Problem**: Unexpected errors or features not working
-   - **Solution**: Verify you're using a recent version of BoxLang 1.x
-
-5. **Path Resolution Problems**
-   - **Problem**: Files not found or incorrect paths
-   - **Solution**: Use absolute paths to avoid directory resolution issues
-
-### Testing Your Setup
-
-```bash
-# Verify server is responding
-curl http://localhost:8080
-
-# Test Wheels is loading
-curl http://localhost:8080/wheels
-
-# Check specific routes
-curl http://localhost:8080/say/hello
-```
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Recommendation
-
-For most developers, **CommandBox with BoxLang** provides the best experience with automatic updates, dependency management, and integrated tooling. Use BoxLang Mini-Server for specialized deployment scenarios or minimal footprint requirements.

-title: Running Local Development Servers
----
-# Running Local Development Servers
-
-Wheels uses a Docker-based development environment that provides consistent, containerized development with support for multiple CFML engines and databases.
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-1. **Docker**: Install Docker Desktop from [docker.com](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)
-2. **Wheels CLI**: Install via Homebrew (macOS/Linux) or Chocolatey (Windows):
-
-   ```bash
-   # macOS / Linux
-   brew tap wheels-dev/wheels
-   brew install wheels
-
-   # Windows
-   choco install wheels
-   ```
-
-   (If you're on CommandBox, `box install wheels-cli` still works as the legacy install path.)
-
-### Setting up Docker Development Environment
-
-Ensure you are in the application root directory.
-
-Initialize your Docker development environment:
-
-```bash
-wheels docker init cfengine=adobe cfversion=2018 db=mysql
-```
-
-#### Command Options
-
-**cfengine** options:
-- `lucee` - Lucee CFML engine
-- `adobe` - Adobe ColdFusion
-- `boxlang` - BoxLang CFML engine
-
-**cfversion** options:
-- Major versions for Adobe ColdFusion: `2018`, `2021`, `2023`, `2025`
-- Major versions for Lucee: `5`, `6`, `7`
-- Major versions for BoxLang: `1`
-
-**db** options:
-- `mysql` - MySQL database
-- `postgres` - PostgreSQL database  
-- `mssql` - Microsoft SQL Server
-- `h2` - H2 embedded database
-- `oracle` - Oracle database
-- `sqlite` - SQLite embedded database
-
-#### Generated Files
-
-The `wheels docker init` command creates several files in your project:
-
-- **`.dockerignore`** - Specifies files to exclude from Docker build context
-- **`Dockerfile`** - Container definition for your chosen CFML engine
-- **`docker-compose.yml`** - Multi-container application definition
-- **`CFConfig.json`** - CFML engine configuration with datasource setup
-
-### Starting Your Development Environment  
-
-After running the init command, start your containers:
-
-```bash
-docker-compose up -d
-```
-
-The containers will take a few minutes to start the first time as Docker downloads the necessary images. Once started, your application will be available at:
-
-- **Default**: `http://localhost:8080`
-- **Custom port**: Check your `server.json` file for the configured port
-
-### Managing Your Docker Environment
-
-```bash
-# Stop the containers
-docker-compose down
-
-# View running containers
-docker-compose ps
-
-# View container logs
-docker-compose logs
-
-# Rebuild and restart
-docker-compose up -d --build
-```
-
-## Additional Configuration
-
-### Custom Ports
-
-The default port is 8080, but you can customize this by modifying the `server.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-    "name":"wheels",
-    "web":{
-        "host":"localhost",
-        "http":{
-            "port":3000
-        },
-        "webroot":"public",
-        "rewrites":{
-            "enable":true,
-            "config":"public/urlrewrite.xml"
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Database Configuration
-
-The generated `CFConfig.json` file automatically configures a datasource for your chosen database. The configuration includes:
-
-- **Connection settings** for your selected database type
-- **Default datasource** named `wheels-dev`
-- **Appropriate drivers** for the database engine
-
-### Development Workflow
-
-1. **Make code changes** in your directory
-2. **Changes are reflected immediately** due to Docker volume mounting
-3. **Database changes persist** between container restarts
-4. **Use standard Wheels commands** like migrations, generators, etc.
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-**Containers won't start:**
-```bash
-# Check if ports are in use
-docker-compose ps
-netstat -an | grep 8080
-
-# Force recreate containers
-docker-compose down
-docker-compose up -d --force-recreate
-```
-
-**Database connection issues:**
-```bash
-# Check database container logs
-docker-compose logs db
-
-# Restart just the database
-docker-compose restart db
-```
-
-**Performance issues:**
-- Ensure Docker Desktop has adequate memory allocated (4GB+ recommended)
-- On Windows/Mac, enable file sharing for your project directory
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### CFIDE / Lucee administrators
-
-The default username and password for all administrators is `admin` & `commandbox`

-title: "Tutorial: Wheels, AJAX, and You"
-description: >-
-  Using Wheels to develop web applications with AJAX features is a breeze. You
-  have several options and tools at your disposal, which we'll cover in this
-  chapter.
----
-
-# Tutorial: Wheels, AJAX, and You
-
-Wheels was designed to be as lightweight as possible, so this keeps your options fairly open for developing AJAX features into your application.
-
-While there are several flavors of JavaScript libraries out there with AJAX support, we will be using the [jQuery framework](http://jquery.com) in this tutorial. Let's assume that you are fairly familiar with the basics of jQuery and know how to set it up.
-
-For this tutorial, let's create the simplest example of all: a link that will render a message back to the user without refreshing the page.
-
-### A Simple Example
-
-In this example, we'll wire up some simple JavaScript code that calls a Wheels action asynchronously. All of this will be done with basic jQuery code and built-in Wheels functionality.
-
-First, let's make sure we've got an appropriate route setup. It might be you're still using the default `wildcard()` route which will create some default `GET` routes for the `controller/action` pattern, but we'll add a new route here just for practice. We are going to create a route named `sayHello` and direct it to the `hello` action of the `say` controller. There are two ways you could write this code a long hand method specifying the controller and action separately as well as a short hand method that combines the two into a single parameter.
-
-The longhand way would look like:
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-  .get(name="sayHello", controller="say", action="hello")
-.end()
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The shorthand method would look like:
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-  .get(name="sayHello", to="say##hello")
-.end()
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-You can decide which method you prefer. Both sets of code above are equivalent.
-
-Then, let's create a link to a controller's action in a view file, like so:
-
-{% code title="/app/views/say/hello.cfm" %}
-```html
-<cfoutput>
-
-<!--- View code --->
-<h1></h1>
-<p></p>
-
-#linkTo(text="Alert me!", route="sayHello", id="alert-button")#
-
-</cfoutput>
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-That piece of code by itself will work just like you expect it to. When you click the link, you will load the `hello` action inside the `say` controller.
-
-But let's make it into an asynchronous request. Add this JavaScript (either on the page inside `script` tags or in a separate `.js` file included via [javaScriptIncludeTag()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.javaScriptIncludeTag.html) ):
-
-{% code title="JavaScript" %}
-```javascript
-(function($) {
-    // Listen to the "click" event of the "alert-button" link and make an AJAX request
-    $("#alert-button").on("click", function(event) {
-        $.ajax({
-            type: "GET",
-            // References "/say/hello?format=json"
-            url: $(this).attr("href") + "?format=json",
-            dataType: "json",
-            success: function(response) {
-                $("h1").html(response.message);
-                $("p").html(response.time);
-            }
-        });
-
-        event.preventDefault();
-    });
-})(jQuery);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-With that code, we are listening to the `click` event of the hyperlink, which will make an asynchronous request to the `hello` action in the `say` controller. Additionally, the JavaScript call is passing a URL parameter called `format` set to `json`.
-
-Note that the `success` block inserts keys from the response into the empty `h1` and `p` blocks in the calling view. (You may have been wondering about those when you saw the first example. Mystery solved.)
-
-The last thing that we need to do is implement the `say/hello` action. Note that the request expects a `dataType` of `JSON`. By default, Wheels controllers only generate HTML responses, but there is an easy way to generate JSON instead using Wheels's [provides()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.provides.html) and [renderWith()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderWith.html) functions:
-
-{% code title="/app/controllers/Say.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        provides("html,json");
-    }
-
-    function hello() {
-        // Prepare the message for the user.
-        greeting = {};
-        greeting["message"] = "Hi there";
-        greeting["time"] = Now();
-
-        // Respond to all requests with `renderWith()`.
-        renderWith(greeting);
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In this controller's `config()` method, we use the [provides()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.provides.html) function to indicate that we want all actions in the controller to be able to respond with the data in HTML or JSON formats. Note that the client calling the action can request the type by passing a URL parameter named format or by sending the `format` in the request header.
-
-The call to [renderWith()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderWith.html) in the `hello` action takes care of the translation to the requested format. Our JavaScript is requesting JSON, so Wheels will format the `greeting` struct as JSON automatically and send it back to the client. If the client requested HTML or the default of none, Wheels will process and serve the view template at `/app/views/say/hello.cfm`. For more information about  [provides()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.provides.html) and  [renderWith()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderWith.html), reference the chapter on [Responding with Multiple Formats](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/responding-with-multiple-formats).
-
-Lastly, notice the lines where we're setting `greeting["message"]` and `greeting["time"]`. Due to the case-insensitive nature of ColdFusion, we recommend setting variables to be consumed by JavaScript using bracket notation like that. If you do not use that notation (i.e., `greetings.message` and `greetings.time` instead), your JavaScript will need to reference those keys from the JSON as `MESSAGE` and `TIME` (all caps). Unless you like turning caps lock on and off, you can see how that would get annoying after some time.
-
-Assuming you already included jQuery in your application and you followed the code examples above, you now have a simple AJAX-powered web application built on Wheels. After clicking that `Alert me!` link, your say controller will respond back to you the serialized message via AJAX. jQuery will parse the JSON object and populate the `h1` and `p`with the appropriate data.
-
-### AJAX in Wheels Explained
-
-That is it! Hopefully now you have a clearer picture on how to create AJAX-based features for your web applications.

-title: Requirements
-description: >-
-  What you need to know and have installed before you start programming in
-  Wheels.
----
-
-# Requirements
-
-We can identify 3 different types of requirements that you should be aware of:
-
-* **Project Requirements.** Is Wheels a good fit for your project?
-* **Developer Requirements.** Do you have the knowledge and mindset to program effectively in Wheels?
-* **System Requirements.** Is your server ready for Wheels?
-
-### Project Requirements
-
-Before you start learning Wheels and making sure all the necessary software is installed on your computer, you really need to take a moment and think about the project you intend to use Wheels on. Is it a ten page website that won't be updated very often? Is it a space flight simulator program for NASA? Is it something in between?
-
-Most websites are, at their cores, simple data manipulation applications. You fetch a row, make some updates to it, stick it back in the database and so on. This is the "target market" for Wheels--simple CRUD (create, read, update, delete) website applications.
-
-A simple ten page website won't do much data manipulation, so you don't need Wheels for that (or even ColdFusion in some cases). A flight simulator program will do so much more than simple CRUD work, so in that case, Wheels is a poor match for you (and so perhaps, is ColdFusion).
-
-If your website falls somewhere in between these two extreme examples, then read on. If not, go look for another programming language and framework. ;)
-
-Another thing worth noting right off the bat (and one that ties in with the simple CRUD reasoning above) is that Wheels takes a very data-centric approach to the development process. What we mean by that is that it should be possible to visualize and implement the database design early on in the project's life cycle. So, if you're about to embark on a project with an extensive period of object oriented analysis and design which, as a last step almost, looks at how to persist objects, then you should probably also look for another framework.
-
-Still reading?
-
-Good!
-
-Moving on...
-
-### Developer Requirements
-
-Yes, there are actually some things you should familiarize yourself with before starting to use Wheels. Don't worry though. You don't need to be an expert on any on of them. A basic understanding is good enough.
-
-* **CFML.** You should know CFML, the ColdFusion programming language. (Surprise!)
-* **Object Oriented Programming.** You should grasp the concept of object oriented programming and how it applies to CFML.
-* **Model-View-Controller.** You should know the theory behind the Model-View-Controller development pattern.
-
-#### CFML
-
-Simply the best web development language in the world! The best way to learn it, in our humble opinion, is to get the free developer edition of Adobe ColdFusion, buy Ben Forta's ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit series, and start coding using your programming editor of choice. Remember it's not just the commercial Adobe offering that's available; [Lucee](https://lucee.org) offers an excellent open source alternative. Using [CommandBox](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox) is a great and simple way to get a local development environment of your choice up and running quickly.
-
-#### Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
-
-This is a programming methodology that uses constructs called objects to design applications. Objects model real world entities in your application. OOP is based on several techniques including _inheritance_, _modularity_, _polymorphism_, and _encapsulation_. Most of these techniques are supported in CFML, making it a fairly functional object oriented language. At the most basic level, a `.cfc` file in CFML is a class, and you create an instance of a class by using the `CreateObject` function or the `<cfobject>` tag.
-
-Trying to squeeze an explanation of object oriented programming and how it's used in CFML into a few sentences is impossible, and a detailed overview of it is outside the scope of this chapter. There is lots of high quality information online, so go ahead and Google it.
-
-#### Model-View-Controller
-
-Model-View-Controller, or MVC for short, is a way to structure your code so that it is broken down into 3 easy-to-manage pieces:
-
-* **Model.** Just another name for the representation of data, usually a database table.
-* **View.** What the user sees and interacts with (a web page in our case).
-* **Controller.** The behind-the-scenes guy that's coordinating everything.
-
-MVC is how Wheels structures your code for you. As you start working with Wheels applications, you'll see that most of the code you write is very nicely separated into one of these 3 categories.
-
-### System Requirements
-
-Wheels requires that you use one of these CFML engines:
-
-* [Adobe ColdFusion](http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/) 2018 / 2021 / 2023 / 2025
-* [Lucee](http://lucee.org) 5.2.1.9+ / 6 / 7
-* [BoxLang](https://boxlang.io/) 1
-
-#### Operating Systems
-
-Your ColdFusion or Lucee engine can be installed on Windows, Mac, UNIX, or Linux—they all work just fine.
-
-#### Web Servers
-
-You also need a web server. Wheels runs on all popular web servers, including Apache, Microsoft IIS, Jetty, and the JRun or Tomcat web server that ships with Adobe ColdFusion. Some web servers support URL rewriting out of the box, some support the `cgi.PATH_INFO` variable which is used to achieve partial rewriting, and some don't have support for either. For local development, we strongly encourage the use of [CommandBox](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox).
-
-Don't worry though. Wheels will adopt to your setup and run just fine, but the URLs that it creates might differ a bit. You can read more about this in the [URL Rewriting](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/README) chapter.
-
-#### Database Engines
-
-Finally, to build any kind of meaningful website application, you will likely interact with a database. These are the currently supported databases:
-
-* SQL Server 7+
-* MySQL 5+ \*
-* PostgreSQL 8.4+
-* H2 1.4+
-* Oracle 19c+
-* SQLite 3.50+
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**MySQL**
-
-* Wheels maybe incompatible with newer MySQL JDBC drivers. It is recommended you downgrade the driver to version 5.1.x for full ORM functionality.
-* If you're using MySQL 5.7.5+ you should be aware that the `ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY` setting is enabled by default and it's currently not compatible with the Wheels ORM. However, you can work around this by either disabling the `ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY` setting or using `ANY_VALUE()` in a calculated property. You can read more about it [here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/group-by-handling.html).
-* We also recommend using the InnoDB engine if you want [Transactions](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/transactions) to work.
-* **MySQL 4 is not supported.**
-{% endhint %}
-
-OK, hopefully this chapter didn't scare you too much. You can move on knowing that you have the basic knowledge needed, the software to run Wheels, and a suitable project to start with.

-title: Upgrading to Wheels 4.0
-description: Upgrade guide for Wheels 3.x → 4.0
----
-
-# Upgrading to Wheels 4.0
-
-This guide walks you through upgrading a Wheels 3.x application to Wheels 4.0. It is organized so you can scan the 5-minute checklist first, decide if your upgrade is simple, and walk each breaking change in detail only if it affects you.
-
-For the full picture of what is new in 4.0, see the [Wheels 4.0 Feature Audit](/v4-0-0-snapshot/introduction/https:/github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/blob/develop/docs/releases/wheels-4.0-audit/) (185-PR inventory) and the [3.0 → 4.0 Comparison](/v4-0-0-snapshot/introduction/https:/github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/blob/develop/docs/releases/wheels-3.0-vs-4.0/) (row-by-row breakdown of what changed).
-
-## Before you start
-
-1. **Semver.** Wheels 4.0 is a major version bump. Breaking changes are expected. We have kept them narrow — 6 security-hardening default flips (each with an opt-out), 1 CLI rename, and 3 namespace / directory renames.
-2. **Backup.** Take a full backup of your app code, your database, and your `config/settings.cfm`. Commit all in-flight changes to version control first.
-3. **Test environment.** Upgrade in a staging environment before production. Resolve all warnings before flipping the switch.
-4. **Read the CHANGELOG.** The Wheels 4.0 section of `CHANGELOG.md` lists 185 changes. Many are security-hardening and bug fixes you will want.
-
-## The short version — 5-minute upgrade checklist
-
-If every row in this table looks fine for your app, your upgrade is probably straightforward. Walk the detailed section below for any row you are unsure about.
-
-| # | What changed | Fix if affected |
-|---|---|---|
-| 1 | CORS default: wildcard → deny-all | Set `allowOrigins=[...]` explicitly on `wheels.middleware.Cors()` |
-| 2 | `allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl` default `false` in production | Set explicitly + non-empty `reloadPassword` |
-| 3 | HSTS header default-on in production | Fine for HTTPS-only apps; pass `hsts=false` if you have mixed HTTP clients |
-| 4 | CSRF cookie `SameSite=Lax` default | Fine for most apps; pass `SameSite=None` only for cross-site flows |
-| 5 | RateLimiter `trustProxy=false` default | Pass `trustProxy=true, proxyHopCount=N` behind a proxy |
-| 6 | RateLimiter proxy strategy `last` default | Fine for most proxy setups; `first` only if you own the full chain |
-| 7 | `wheels snippets` → `wheels code` CLI rename | Grep your scripts and CI configs for `wheels snippets` |
-| 8 | Test base `wheels.Test` → `wheels.WheelsTest` | Required for new tests only; old base still works for existing tests |
-| 9 | `tests/specs/functions/` → `tests/specs/functional/` (framework) | Apps that mirrored the old layout can rename for consistency |
-| 10 | `application.wirebox` → `application.wheelsdi` | Prefer the `service()` global helper instead of direct scope access |
-| 11 | Vite `viteStrictManifest=true` default — missing manifest entries throw | Run `vite build`, or `set(viteStrictManifest=false)` |
-
-## Breaking changes — detailed
-
-Each item below follows the same four-part structure: **What changed**, **How to detect**, **How to fix**, **Opt-out** (where one is available).
-
-### 1. CORS middleware default: wildcard → deny-all
-
-**PR:** [#2039](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2039)
-
-**What changed**
-
-The default `allowOrigins` value on `wheels.middleware.Cors()` changed from `*` (wildcard — allow any origin) to an empty list (deny-all). Apps that relied on the wildcard default will now reject cross-origin requests through CORS.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-Grep your middleware registration for `Cors(` with no explicit `allowOrigins`:
-
-```bash
-grep -r "Cors(" config/ app/
-```
-
-If any site has `new wheels.middleware.Cors()` with no arguments, you were relying on the wildcard default.
-
-**How to fix**
-
-Pass your allowed origins explicitly:
-
-```cfm
-// Before — relied on wildcard default in 3.x
-set(middleware=[
-    new wheels.middleware.Cors()
-]);
-
-// After — 4.0 requires explicit origins
-set(middleware=[
-    new wheels.middleware.Cors(allowOrigins=["https://yourapp.com", "https://admin.yourapp.com"])
-]);
-```
-
-If you genuinely need wildcard behavior (uncommon and usually an anti-pattern), pass `*` explicitly:
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware=[
-    new wheels.middleware.Cors(allowOrigins=["*"])
-]);
-```
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-There is no separate opt-out setting — the fix is to pass `allowOrigins` explicitly. Note that wildcard + credentials is rejected in 4.0 (separate hardening, [#2053](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2053)).
-
-### 2. `allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl` defaults to `false` in production
-
-**PRs:** [#2076](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2076), [#2082](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2082)
-
-**What changed**
-
-The `allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl` setting now defaults to `false` in production. Additionally, `reloadPassword` must be non-empty for environment switching. In 3.x, URL-based environment switching was enabled in production by default.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-Pre-upgrade, grep your config for explicit references:
-
-```bash
-grep -rn "allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl\|reloadPassword" config/
-```
-
-If neither is set, you were relying on the 3.x default and will be blocked in production after upgrading. Post-upgrade, visiting `/?reload=true&environment=development` (adjusted for your rewrite config) will silently not change the environment — that's the block in action.
-
-**How to fix**
-
-If you use URL-based environment switching in production (generally not recommended), set it explicitly and ensure a non-empty reload password:
-
-```cfm
-// config/production/settings.cfm
-set(allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl=true);
-set(reloadPassword="choose-a-long-random-value");
-```
-
-Recommended: remove production environment switching entirely and use deployment tooling to flip environments.
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-Set `allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl=true` explicitly in `config/production/settings.cfm`. The reload-password requirement cannot be bypassed.
-
-### 3. HSTS header default-on in production
-
-**PR:** [#2081](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2081)
-
-**What changed**
-
-When the `SecurityHeaders` middleware is active in production, HSTS (`Strict-Transport-Security`) is emitted by default. In 3.x, HSTS required explicit opt-in.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-Inspect response headers in production:
-
-```bash
-curl -sI https://yourapp.com | grep -i strict-transport-security
-```
-
-If you see `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=...`, HSTS is active.
-
-**How to fix**
-
-For HTTPS-only apps, no action needed — this is a security improvement. For apps that serve some traffic over HTTP (or mixed environments where HSTS will break clients):
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware=[
-    new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders(hsts=false)
-]);
-```
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-Pass `hsts=false` on the middleware as shown above.
-
-### 4. CSRF cookie `SameSite=Lax` default
-
-**PR:** [#2035](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2035)
-
-**What changed**
-
-CSRF cookies now set the `SameSite=Lax` attribute by default. In 3.x, no `SameSite` attribute was set.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-Check your CSRF cookie in browser devtools (Application → Cookies). Look at the `SameSite` column.
-
-**How to fix**
-
-For most apps, the `Lax` default is correct and more secure — no action needed. For apps that rely on cross-site CSRF cookie behavior (e.g., third-party form POSTs, uncommon and usually an anti-pattern):
-
-```cfm
-set(csrfCookieSameSite="None");  // requires Secure attribute — HTTPS only
-```
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-Set `csrfCookieSameSite` explicitly to `None`, `Strict`, or a custom value. Note that browsers reject `SameSite=None` cookies without the `Secure` attribute.
-
-### 5. RateLimiter `trustProxy` default `true` → `false`
-
-**PR:** [#2024](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2024)
-
-**What changed**
-
-`wheels.middleware.RateLimiter` no longer trusts `X-Forwarded-For` headers by default. In 3.x, proxy-supplied client IPs were used for rate-limit buckets — which is vulnerable to spoofing if the app has no proxy.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-If your app sits behind a reverse proxy (nginx, Cloudflare, AWS ALB, etc.) and uses rate limiting, users will now share a rate-limit bucket per proxy IP (not per real client IP) after the upgrade. Symptom: requests rate-limited earlier than expected because many users look like the same IP to the limiter.
-
-**How to fix**
-
-If you have a trusted proxy:
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware=[
-    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
-        trustProxy=true,
-        proxyHopCount=1  // number of known-trusted hops between client and app
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-Set `proxyHopCount` to the exact number of proxies in front of your app. One proxy = 1. CDN plus load-balancer = 2.
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-Pass `trustProxy=true` on the middleware. Only do this with a known, trusted proxy — otherwise clients can spoof their IP via `X-Forwarded-For`.
-
-### 6. RateLimiter proxy strategy default: `first` → `last`
-
-**PR:** [#2088](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2088)
-
-**What changed**
-
-When `trustProxy=true`, the strategy for picking which IP in the `X-Forwarded-For` chain to use as the rate-limit key changed from `first` (left-most, client-supplied) to `last` (right-most, proxy-supplied). In 3.x, the client-supplied IP was used — which is spoofable.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-If your rate limiter behaves unexpectedly after upgrade (either more aggressive or less), the strategy change is the likely cause. Specifically, spoofing attempts (`X-Forwarded-For: 1.2.3.4`) no longer win over the real proxy-supplied IP.
-
-**How to fix**
-
-This is a security-hardening change — the `last` strategy is correct for almost every deployment. No action needed unless you explicitly need the old behavior:
-
-```cfm
-set(middleware=[
-    new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter(
-        trustProxy=true,
-        proxyStrategy="first"  // only if you own the entire proxy chain
-    )
-]);
-```
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-Pass `proxyStrategy="first"` on the middleware. Do not do this unless you control every proxy in the chain and trust all of them.
-
-### 7. CLI: `wheels snippets` → `wheels code`
-
-**PR:** [#1852](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/1852)
-
-**What changed**
-
-The `wheels snippets` CLI command is renamed to `wheels code`. Shell scripts, CI pipelines, deploy hooks, and personal aliases calling `wheels snippets` must be updated.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-```bash
-grep -r "wheels snippets" .github/ scripts/ bin/ Makefile 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-**How to fix**
-
-Replace every occurrence:
-
-```bash
-# Before
-wheels snippets list
-wheels snippets add MyTemplate
-
-# After
-wheels code list
-wheels code add MyTemplate
-```
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-None — this is a CLI rename. The old command prints a helpful error pointing to the new name.
-
-### 8. Test base class: `wheels.Test` → `wheels.WheelsTest`
-
-**PR:** [#1889](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/1889)
-
-**What changed**
-
-The TestBox-compatible test base class was renamed from `wheels.Test` to `wheels.WheelsTest`. New test specs should extend `wheels.WheelsTest`. Existing `wheels.Test` specs continue to work during 4.0 as a deprecation path.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-```bash
-grep -rn 'extends="wheels.Test"' tests/
-```
-
-**How to fix**
-
-For RocketUnit-style specs being rewritten in BDD, or for any new specs:
-
-```cfm
-// Before (legacy RocketUnit)
-component extends="wheels.Test" {
-    function test_something() {
-        assert("1 == 1");
-    }
-}
-
-// After (WheelsTest BDD)
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-    function run() {
-        describe("something", () => {
-            it("works", () => {
-                expect(true).toBeTrue();
-            });
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-No migration required for existing specs — `wheels.Test` remains available through 4.x as a deprecation path. The rename only applies to new specs going forward.
-
-### 9. Tests directory rename: `tests/specs/functions/` → `tests/specs/functional/`
-
-**PR:** [#1872](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/1872)
-
-**What changed**
-
-The framework's own test directory at `vendor/wheels/tests/specs/functions/` was renamed to `vendor/wheels/tests/specs/functional/`. Apps that mirrored this convention in their own `tests/specs/` directory should rename for consistency.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-```bash
-ls -d tests/specs/functions/ 2>/dev/null && echo "renamable"
-```
-
-**How to fix**
-
-```bash
-git mv tests/specs/functions tests/specs/functional
-```
-
-Update any explicit test-runner directory references that hardcode the old name.
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-None at the framework level — the framework's own directory is renamed. Apps can keep their own naming, but consistency with the framework convention is recommended.
-
-### 10. `application.wirebox` → `application.wheelsdi`
-
-**PR:** [#1888](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/1888)
-
-**What changed**
-
-The DI container's application-scope variable was renamed from `application.wirebox` (from the WireBox-era) to `application.wheelsdi` (in-house DI container, [#1883](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/1883)). Direct accesses to the old variable will fail.
-
-**How to detect**
-
-```bash
-grep -rn 'application\.wirebox' app/ config/
-```
-
-**How to fix**
-
-Prefer the `service()` global helper over direct scope access:
-
-```cfm
-// Before
-var emailer = application.wirebox.getInstance("EmailService");
-
-// After — recommended
-var emailer = service("EmailService");
-
-// After — only if you must touch the scope directly
-var emailer = application.wheelsdi.getInstance("EmailService");
-```
-
-**Opt-out**
-
-None — this is a straight rename. Apps rarely touch this directly in practice; the `service()` helper (available since 4.0) is the idiomatic replacement.
-
-### 11. Vite asset pipeline — strict manifest default
-
-**What changed.** Missing Vite manifest entries now throw `Wheels.ViteAssetNotFound` in production, controlled by the new `viteStrictManifest` setting (default `true`). In 3.x, a missing entry silently returned the raw entrypoint path or an empty string when `showErrorInformation=false`. This turned a deploy-time misconfiguration into a runtime 404 mystery — links to `/build/src/main.js` loaded as 404s with no useful error.
-
-**How to detect.** If your production deploy has previously tolerated a missing Vite entry (because `vite build` wasn't run, or the manifest file moved), the error surfaces immediately on the first request that calls `viteAsset()`, `viteScriptTag()`, `viteStyleTag()`, or `vitePreloadTag()`.
-
-**How to fix.** Run your Vite build to (re)generate `manifest.json` at the configured `viteBuildPath`, or correct the `viteManifestFile` setting. This is the recommended fix — the strict default is deliberately loud so deploys surface the bug instead of 404-ing end users.
-
-**Opt out.** Apps that genuinely want the 3.x silent behavior can:
-
-```cfm
-// config/settings.cfm
-set(viteStrictManifest=false);
-```
-
-With strict off, missing entries throw only when `showErrorInformation=true` (development), matching 3.x behavior.
-
-**Bonus.** 4.0 also adds transitive-imports resolution to `viteScriptTag()` and `viteStyleTag()` (automatic `<link rel="modulepreload">` and chunk-CSS injection) and a new `vitePreloadTag()` view helper for Turbo Drive hover-preload patterns. No action required — these are additive and on by default.
-
-### Security-hardening defaults — quick reference
-
-For operators coordinating a staged production rollout, the six default flips above reduce to one-line `set(...)` calls in `config/production/settings.cfm`. Here they are as a single reference block:
-
-| Setting | 3.x default | 4.0 default | Opt-out |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `allowOrigins` on `wheels.middleware.Cors()` | `*` | `[]` (deny-all) | Pass explicit origins array |
-| `allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl` | `true` | `false` | `set(allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl=true)` + non-empty `reloadPassword` |
-| HSTS emission on `wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders()` | off | on (production) | Pass `hsts=false` |
-| CSRF cookie SameSite | unset | `Lax` | `set(csrfCookieSameSite="None")` (HTTPS only) |
-| `trustProxy` on `wheels.middleware.RateLimiter()` | `true` | `false` | Pass `trustProxy=true, proxyHopCount=N` |
-| `proxyStrategy` on `wheels.middleware.RateLimiter()` | `first` | `last` | Pass `proxyStrategy="first"` |
-
-If none of the affected middleware is active in your app, these changes have no effect on your upgrade.
-
-## Legacy Compatibility Adapter — the soft landing
-
-**PR:** [#2015](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/pull/2015)
-
-The Legacy Compatibility Adapter is a first-party package that detects deprecated patterns in your 3.x code and emits warnings (not errors) at dev time. It is designed as a low-friction bridge while you migrate.
-
-### What it handles
-
-- `extends="wheels.Test"` extensions — warns with guidance to use `wheels.WheelsTest`
-- Legacy plugin patterns (`this.version = ...`, `this.dependency = ...`) — warns with guidance to move metadata to `package.json`
-- Direct `application.wirebox.*` access — warns with guidance to use `service()` or `application.wheelsdi`
-- Deprecated view helpers (`renderPage`, `renderPageToString`) — warns with guidance to use current helpers
-
-### Installation
-
-Copy the package from `packages/` into `vendor/`:
-
-```bash
-cp -r packages/legacyadapter vendor/legacyadapter
-```
-
-Then reload your app (`?reload=true&password=...`). The adapter scans your code on boot and prints a report of deprecated patterns with file locations and suggested fixes.
-
-### What it does not help with
-
-- **CLI renames.** The adapter does not scan shell scripts. `wheels snippets` in a script stays broken until you update it manually.
-- **Security-hardening defaults.** The 6 default flips (CORS, HSTS, RateLimiter, etc.) are not reverted by the adapter — you must set them explicitly via config if you want the old behavior.
-- **CSRF / CORS / HSTS / RateLimiter settings.** These are configured via `set(...)` in `config/settings.cfm` — the adapter does not touch middleware config.
-- **Datasource / database config.** Out of scope.
-
-### Deprecation path
-
-The adapter is available through 4.x. Plan to address its warnings before upgrading to 5.0 — the warnings become errors in the next major version.
-
-## Recommended (not required) migrations
-
-These changes are not required for your app to run on 4.0, but adopting them unlocks 4.0 capabilities and removes patterns that are deprecated or suboptimal. Treat this as a menu — migrate at your own pace.
-
-- **WheelsTest (replacing RocketUnit).** Rewrite test specs in BDD style using `describe()` / `it()` / `expect()`. See [Testing Your Application](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/testing-your-application/) for the migration mapping. Legacy RocketUnit specs continue to run.
-- **Composable pagination helpers.** Replace monolithic `paginationLinks()` with `paginationNav()` or individual helpers (`firstPageLink`, `previousPageLink`, `pageNumberLinks`, `nextPageLink`, `lastPageLink`, `paginationInfo`). The old helper still works.
-- **SecurityHeaders middleware.** Add `new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders()` to your middleware pipeline for Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and Permissions-Policy headers in one shot.
-- **Chainable query builder.** Migrate raw-WHERE queries to the fluent builder for injection safety: `.where("col", val).orderBy(col, dir).get()`.
-- **Rate Limiting middleware.** Protect public-facing endpoints with `new wheels.middleware.RateLimiter()` — fixed-window, sliding-window, and token-bucket strategies, in-memory or database-backed.
-- **Job worker daemon.** For apps with background work, `wheels jobs work/status/retry/purge/monitor` replaces ad-hoc scheduled tasks with a persistent, optimistic-locked queue.
-- **Packages instead of plugins.** New first-party extensions should use the `packages/<name>/` convention with a `package.json` manifest. Legacy `plugins/` still load but are deprecated.
-- **Expanded DI container.** Use `inject("service1, service2")` in controller `config()` and register services in `config/services.cfm`. Request-scoped services via `.asRequestScoped()`.
-- **Route model binding.** Pass `binding=true` on `.resources()` to auto-resolve `params.key` into a model instance at dispatch. Eliminates boilerplate in every show/edit/update/destroy action.
-- **Multi-tenancy.** If your app serves multiple tenants, per-request datasource switching is now in-core (no external package needed).

----
-
-# Upgrading Wheels Applications
-
-Wheels follows Semantic Versioning ([semver.org](http://semver.org/)):
-
-* **Major releases** (e.g., `2.x.x → 3.x.x`) may include breaking changes and require code adjustments.
-* **Minor releases** (e.g., `3.0.x → 3.1.x`) may add new features in a backwards-compatible way.
-* **Patch releases** (e.g., `3.0.1 → 3.0.2`) focus on bug fixes.
-
-Upgrading an existing application involves more than swapping the `wheels` folder — it often requires project restructuring, dependency updates, and code modifications.
-
----
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**Upgrading to Wheels 4.0?** See the dedicated [Upgrading to Wheels 4.0](/v4-0-0-snapshot/introduction/upgrading-to-4.0/) guide — it covers all breaking changes, the Legacy Compatibility Adapter, and recommended migrations.
-{% endhint %}
-
-## General Upgrade Process for Existing Applications
-
-**1. Backup First**
-
-* Create a full backup of your application code and database.
-* Commit all changes if using version control.
-
-**2. Read All Relevant Upgrade Notes**
-
-* If skipping versions, review the upgrade notes for *every* version in between.
-* Some changes require manual adjustments outside the `wheels` folder.
-
-**3. Use a Safe Environment**
-
-* Test upgrades in a local or staging environment before production.
-
-**4. Upgrade Steps**
-
-1. Follow the *version-specific* changes listed below.
-2. Replace/update the `wheels` folder with the version you are upgrading to.
-3. Apply all required file moves, renames, and deletions.
-4. Install new dependencies (`box install` if using CommandBox).
-5. Update code for removed or renamed functions.
-6. Check plugins for compatibility.
-
-**5. Test Thoroughly**
-
-* Run your test suite.
-* Fix routing, mappings, or missing dependency issues.
-
-**6. Deploy to Production**
-
-* Clear caches and restart the CFML engine after deployment.
-
----
-
-## Upgrading to Wheels 3.1.0
-
-This guide walks you through upgrading an existing Wheels application to version 3.1.0.
-It covers compatibility changes, the new folder structure, and the **CommandBox (`box.json`)** dependency management process for the `vendor/` folder.
-
-### 1. Compatibility Changes
-
-* **No longer supported:** Adobe ColdFusion 2016 and earlier.
-* **Supported engines:**
-
-  * Adobe ColdFusion 2018+
-  * Lucee 5+
-  * BoxLang
-
-### 2. New Folder Structure
-
-Wheels 3.x adopts a more modern and organized structure. Update your application as follows:
-
-#### 2.1 Application Code
-
-Move your app code into a new `app/` directory at the root:
-
-```
-app/controllers/
-app/global/
-app/migrator/
-app/models/
-app/views/
-plugins/
-```
-
-#### 2.2 Configurations
-
-Keep the `config/` folder at the root.
-
-#### 2.3 Database Migrations
-
-Keep the `db/` folder at the root.
-
-#### 2.4 Public Assets
-
-Keep the `public/` folder at the root.
-Move all static assets into `public/`:
-
-```
-public/images/
-public/files/
-public/javascripts/
-public/miscellaneous/
-public/stylesheets/
-```
-
-#### 2.5 Updated Core Files
-
-Inside `public/`, replace the following with the latest versions from Wheels 3.x:
-
-```
-Application.cfc
-index.cfm
-urlrewrite.xml
-```
-
----
-
-### 3. Vendor Folder Changes — Managed with CommandBox
-
-Wheels 3.x manages its core files and related libraries via **CommandBox**.
-This means **no manually downloading or replacing vendor files**.
-
-#### 3.1 Create or Update `box.json`
-
-At your project root, define dependencies and where they should be installed:
-
-```json
-{
-    "name": "wheels-app",
-    "version": "1.0.0",
-    "dependencies": {
-        "wheels-core": "^3.1.0"
-    },
-    "installPaths": {
-        "wheels-core": "vendor/wheels/"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-
-* **`dependencies`**: Lists the packages your app needs, with version ranges.
-* **`installPaths`**: Ensures each dependency installs into a specific folder inside `vendor/`.
-
-#### 3.2 Install Dependencies
-
-Run:
-
-```bash
-box install
-```
-
-This will:
-
-* Download `wheels-core` (which includes TestBox and a built-in DI container)
-* Place it into the `vendor/wheels/` folder based on `installPaths`
-
-#### 3.3 Check Application Mappings
-
-Ensure `Application.cfc` includes mappings for the new locations:
-
-```
-/app
-/config
-/db
-/public
-/vendor
-  /wheels
-/tests
-```
-
-Mappings must point to the correct folders inside `vendor/` so Wheels can find its core files and libraries.
-
-### 4. Before & After Folder Layout
-
-**Before (Wheels 2.x)**
-
-```
-/controllers
-/global
-/migrator
-/models
-/plugins
-/views
-/config
-/db
-/public
-/vendor (manual files)
-Application.cfc
-index.cfm
-urlrewrite.xml
-```
-
-**After (Wheels 3.x)**
-
-```
-/app
-    /controllers
-    /global
-    /migrator
-    /models
-    /plugins
-    /views
-/config
-/db
-/public
-    Application.cfc
-    index.cfm
-    urlrewrite.xml
-/vendor
-    /wheels
-.env
-box.json
-server.json
-```
-
-### 5. Final Steps After Upgrade
-
-1. Run `box install` to ensure all dependencies are fetched.
-2. Review and update `Application.cfc` mappings.
-3. Test your application thoroughly.
-4. Check the **Wheels 3.x release notes** for any breaking changes affecting your code.
-5. Commit the new structure and `box.json` so the setup is reproducible for all team members.
-
-### 6. Benefits of the New Approach
-
-* **No manual vendor updates** — dependencies are versioned and reproducible.
-* **Easier upgrades** — `box update` replaces manual downloads.
-* **Consistent environments** — the same `box.json` ensures all developers run the same versions.
-
----
-
-## Upgrading to 2.3.x
-
-Replace the `wheels` folder with the new one from the 2.3.0 download.
-
-## Upgrading to 2.2.x
-
-Replace the `wheels` folder with the new one from the 2.2.0 download.
-
-## Upgrading to 2.1.x
-
-Replace the `wheels` folder with the new one from the 2.1.0 download.
-
-#### Code changes
-
-* Rename any instances of `findLast()` to `findLastOne()`
-
-#### Changes outside the wheels folder
-
-* Create `/events/onabort.cfm` to support the `onAbort` method
-
-## Upgrading to 2.0.x
-
-As always, the first step is to replace the `wheels` folder with the new one from the 2.0 download.
-
-Other major changes required to upgrade your application are listed in the following sections.
-
-#### Supported CFML Engines
-
-Wheels 2.0 requires one of these CFML engines:
-
-* Lucee 4.5.5.006 + / 5.2.1.9+
-* Adobe ColdFusion 10.0.23 / 11.0.12+ / 2016.0.4+
-
-We've updated our minimum requirements to match officially supported versions from the vendors. (For example, Adobe discontinued support for ColdFusion 10 in May 2017, which causes it to be exposed to security exploits in the future. We've included it in 2.0 but it may be discontinued in a future version)
-
-#### Changes outside the wheels folder
-
-* The `events/functions.cfm` file has been moved to `global/functions.cfm`.
-* The `models/Model.cfc` file should extend `wheels.Model` instead of `Wheels` (`models/Wheels.cfc` can be deleted).
-* The `controllers/Controller.cfc` file should extend `wheels.Controller` instead of `Wheels`(`controllers/Wheels.cfc` can be deleted).
-* The `init` function of controllers and models must be renamed to `config`.
-* The global setting `modelRequireInit` has been renamed to `modelRequireConfig`.
-* The global setting `cacheControllerInitialization` has been renamed to `cacheControllerConfig`.
-* The global setting `cacheModelInitialization` has been renamed to `cacheModelConfig`.
-* The global setting `clearServerCache` has been renamed to `clearTemplateCache`.
-* The `updateProperties()` method has been removed, use `update()` instead.
-* JavaScript arguments like `confirm` and `disable` have been removed from the link and form helper functions (use the [JS Confirm](https://github.com/perdjurner/Wheels-js-confirm) and [JS Disable](https://github.com/perdjurner/Wheels-js-disable) plugins to reinstate the old behavior).
-* The `renderPage` function has been renamed to `renderView`
-* `includePartial()` now requires the `partial` and `query` arguments to be set (if using a query)
-
-#### Routing
-
-The [addRoute()](https://wheels.dev/api/v1.4.5/addRoute.html) function has been removed in Wheels 2.0 in favor of a new routing API. See the [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) chapter for information about the new RESTful routing system.
-
-A limited version of the "wildcard" route (`[controller]/[action]/[key]`) is available as `[controller]/[action]`) if you use the new [wildcard()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/mapper.wildcard.html) mapper method:
-
-{% code title="/config/routes.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-mapper()
-    .wildcard()
-.end();
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-By default, this is limited to `GET` requests for security reasons.
-
-#### Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protection
-
-It is strongly recommended that you enable Wheels 2.0's built-in CSRF protection.
-
-For many applications, you need to follow these steps:
-
-1. In `controllers/Controller.cfc`, add a call to [protectsFromForgery()](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/request-handling) to the `config` method.
-2. Add a call to the [csrfMetaTags()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.csrfMetaTags.html) helper in your layouts' `<head>` sections.
-3. Configure any AJAX calls that `POST` data to your application to pass the `authenticityToken` from the `<meta>`tags generated by [csrfMetaTags()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.csrfMetaTags.html) as an `X-CSRF-TOKEN` HTTP header.
-4. Update your route definitions to enforce HTTP verbs on actions that manipulate data (`get`, `post`, `patch`, `delete`, etc.)
-5. Make sure that forms within the application are `POST`ing data to the actions that require `post`, `patch`, and `delete` verbs.
-
-See documentation for the [CSRF Protection Plugin](https://github.com/liquifusion/wheels-csrf-protection) for more information.
-
-Note: If you had previously installed the [CSRF Protection plugin](https://github.com/liquifusion/wheels-csrf-protection), you may remove it and rely on the functionality included in the Wheels core.
-
-#### Database Migrations
-
-If you have previously been using the dbmigrate plugin, you can now use the inbuilt version within the Wheels core.&#x20;
-
-Database Migration files in `/db/migrate/` should now be moved to `/app/migrator/migrations/` and extend `wheels.migrator.Migration`, not `plugins.dbmigrate.Migration` which can be changed with a simple find and replace. Note: Oracle is not currently supported for Migrator.
-
-### Upgrading to 1.4.x
-
-1. Replace the `wheels` folder with the new one from the 1.4 download.
-2. Replace URL rewriting rule files – i.e, `.htaccess`, `web.config`, `IsapiRewrite.ini`
-
-In addition, if you're upgrading from an earlier version of Wheels, we recommend reviewing the instructions from earlier reference guides below.
-
-### Upgrading to 1.3.x
-
-If you are upgrading from Wheels 1.1.0 or newer, follow these steps:
-
-1. Replace the `wheels` folder with the new one from the 1.3 download.
-2. Replace the root `root.cfm` file with the new one from the 1.3 download.
-3. Remove the `<cfheader>` calls from the following files:
-   * `events/onerror.cfm`
-   * `events/onmaintenance.cfm`
-   * `events/onmissingtemplate.cfm`
-
-In addition, if you're upgrading from an earlier version of Wheels, we recommend reviewing the instructions from earlier reference guides below.
-
-Note: To accompany the newest 1.1.x releases, we've highlighted the changes that are affected by each release in this cycle.&#x20;
-
-### Upgrading to 1.1.x
-
-If you are upgrading from Wheels 1.0 or newer, the easiest way to upgrade is to replace the wheels folder with the new one from the 1.1 download. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, we recommend reviewing the steps outlined in Upgrading to Wheels 1.0.
-
-Note: To accompany the newest 1.1.x releases, we've highlighted the changes that are affected by each release in this cycle.
-
-#### Plugin Compatibility
-
-Be sure to review your plugins and their compatibility with your newly-updated version of Wheels. Some plugins may stop working, throw errors, or cause unexpected behavior in your application.
-
-#### Supported System Changes
-
-* 1.1: The minimum Adobe ColdFusion version required is now 8.0.1.
-* 1.1: The minimum Railo version required is now 3.1.2.020.
-* 1.1: The H2 database engine is now supported.
-
-#### File System Changes
-
-* 1.1: The .htaccess file has been changed. Be sure to copy over the new one from the new version 1.1 download and copy any addition changes that you may have also made to the original version.
-
-#### Database Structure Changes
-
-* 1.1: By default, Wheels 1.1 will wrap database queries in transactions. This requires that your database engine supports transactions. For MySQL in particular, you can convert your MyISAM tables to InnoDB to be compatible with this new functionality. Otherwise, to turn off automatic transactions, place a call to set(transactionMode="none").
-* 1.1: Binary data types are now supported.
-
-#### CFML Code Changes
-
-**Model Code**
-
-* 1.1: Validations will be applied to some model properties automatically. This may cause unintended behavior with your validations. To turn this setting off, call set(automaticValidations=false) in config/settings.cfm.
-* 1.1: The class argument in hasOne(), hasMany(), and belongsTo() has been deprecated. Use the modelName argument instead.
-* 1.1: afterFind() callbacks no longer require special logic to handle the setting of properties in objects and queries. (The "query way" works for both cases now.) Because arguments will always be passed in to the method, you can't rely on StructIsEmpty() to determine if you're dealing with an object or not. In the rare cases that you need to know, you can now call isInstance() or isClass() instead.
-* 1.1: On create, a model will now set the updatedAt auto-timestamp to the same value as the createdAt timestamp. To override this behavior, call set(setUpdatedAtOnCreate=false) in config/settings.cfm.
-
-**View Code**
-
-* 1.1: Object form helpers (e.g. textField() and radioButton()) now automatically display a label based on the property name. If you left the label argument blank while using an earlier version of Wheels, some labels may start appearing automatically, leaving you with unintended results. To stop a label from appearing, use label=false instead.
-* 1.1: The contentForLayout() helper to be used in your layout files has been deprecated. Use the includeContent() helper instead.
-* 1.1: In production mode, query strings will automatically be added to the end of all asset URLs (which includes JavaScript includes, stylesheet links, and images). To turn off this setting, call set(assetQueryString=false) in config/settings.cfm.
-* 1.1: stylesheetLinkTag() and javaScriptIncludeTag() now accept external URLs for the source/sources argument. If you manually typed out these tags in previous releases, you can now use these helpers instead.
-* 1.1: flashMessages(), errorMessageOn(), and errorMessagesFor() now create camelCased class attributes instead (for example error-messages is now errorMessages). The same goes for the class attribute on the tag that wraps form elements with errors: it is now fieldWithErrors.
-
-**Controller Code**
-
-* 1.1.1: The if argument in all validation functions is now deprecated. Use the condition argument instead.
-
-### Upgrading to 1.0.x
-
-Our listing of steps to take while upgrading your Wheels application from earlier versions to 1.0.x.
-
-Upgrading from an earlier version of 1.x? Then the upgrade path is simple. All you need to do is replace the wheels folder with the new wheels folder from the download.
-
-The easiest way to upgrade is to setup an empty website, deploy a fresh copy of Wheels 1.0, and then transfer your application code to it. When transferring, please make note of the following changes and make the appropriate changes to your code.
-
-Note: To accompany the newest 1.0 release, we've highlighted the changes that are affected by that release.
-
-#### Supported System Changes
-
-* 1.0: URL rewriting with IIS 7 is now supported.
-* 1.0: URL rewriting in a sub folder on Apache is now supported.
-* ColdFusion 9 is now supported.
-* Oracle 10g or later is now supported.
-* PostgreSQL is now supported.
-* Railo 3.1 is now supported.
-
-#### File System Changes
-
-* 1.0: There is now an app.cfm file in the config folder. Use it to set variables that you'd normally set in Application.cfc (i.e., this.name, this.sessionManagement, this.customTagPaths, etc.)
-* 1.0: There is now a web.config file in the root.
-* 1.0: There is now a Wheels.cfc file in the models folder.
-* 1.0: The Wheels.cfc file in the controllers folder has been updated.
-* 1.0: The IsapiRewrite4.ini and .htaccess files in the root have both been updated.
-* The controller folder has been changed to controllers.
-* The model folder has been changed to models.
-* The view folder has been changed to views.
-* Rename all of your CFCs in models and controllers to UpperCamelCase. So controller.cfc will become Controller.cfc, adminUser.cfc will become AdminUser.cfc, and so on.
-* All images must now be stored in the images folder, files in the files folder, JavaScript files in the javascripts folder, and CSS files in the stylesheets folder off of the root.
-
-#### Database Structure Changes
-
-* deletedOn, updatedOn, and createdOn are no longer available as auto-generated fields. Please change the names to deletedAt, updatedAt, and createdAt instead to get similar functionality, and make sure that they are of type datetime, timestamp, or equivalent.
-
-#### CFML Code Changes
-
-**Config Code**
-
-* 1.0: The action of the default route (home) has changed to wheels. The way configuration settings are done has changed quite a bit. To change a Wheels application setting, use the new set() function with the name of the Wheels property to change. (For example, \<cfset set(dataSourceName="mydatasource")>.) To see a list of available Wheels settings, refer to the Configuration and Defaults chapter.\
-  Model Code
-* 1.0: The extends attribute in models/Model.cfc should now be Wheels.
-* findById() is now called findByKey(). Additionally, its id argument is now named key instead. For composite keys, this argument will accept a comma-delimited list.
-* When using a model's findByKey() or findOne() functions, the found property is no longer available. Instead, the functions return false if the record was not found.
-* A model's errorsOn() function now always returns an array, even if there are no errors on the field. When there are errors for the field, the array elements will contain a struct with name, fieldName, and message elements.
-* The way callbacks are created has changed. There is now a method for each callback event ( beforeValidation(), beforeValidationOnCreate(), etc.) that should be called from your model's init() method. These methods take a single argument: the method within your model that should be invoked during the callback event. See the chapter on Object Callbacks for an example.
-
-**View Code**
-
-* 1.0: The contents of the views/wheels folder have been changed.
-* The wrapLabel argument in form helpers is now replaced with labelPlacement. Valid values for labelPlacement are before, after, and around.
-* The first argument for includePartial() has changed from name to partial. If you're referring to it through a named argument, you'll need to replace all instances with partial.
-* The variable that keeps a counter of the current record when using includePartial() with a query has been renamed from currentRow to current.
-* There is now an included wheels view folder in views. Be sure to copy that into your existing Wheels application if you're upgrading.
-* The location of the default layout has changed. It is now stored at /views/layout.cfm. Now controller-specific layouts are stored in their respective view folder as layout.cfm. For example, a custom layout for www.domain.com/about would be stored at /views/about/layout.cfm.
-* In linkTo(), the id argument is now called key. It now accepts a comma-delimited list in the case of composite keys.
-* The linkTo() function also accepts an object for the key argument, in which case it will automatically extract the keys from it for use in the hyperlink.
-* The linkTo() function can be used only for controller-, action-, and route-driven links now. \* The url argument has been removed, so now all static links should be coded using a standard "a" tag.
-
-**Controller Code**
-
-* 1.0: The extends attribute in controllers/Controller.cfc should now be Wheels.\
-  Multiple-word controllers and actions are now word-delimited by hyphens in the URL. For example, if your controller is called SiteAdmin and the action is called editLayout, the URL to access that action would be [http://www.domain.com/site-admin/edit-layout](http://www.domain.com/site-admin/edit-layout).
-
-#### URL/Routing
-
-* The default route for Wheels has changed from \[controller]/\[action]/\[id] to \[controller]/\[action]/\[key]. This is to support composite keys. The params.id value will now only be available as params.key.
-* You can now pass along composite keys in the URL. Delimit multiple keys with a comma. (If you want to use this feature, then you can't have a comma in the key value itself).

-title: Developing Plugins
-description: Extend Wheels functionality by creating a plugin.
----
-
-# Developing Plugins
-
-Plugins are the recommended way to get new code accepted into Wheels. If you have written code that you think constitutes core functionality and should be added to Wheels, please create a plugin. After the community has used it for a while, it will be a simple task for us to integrate it into the Wheels core.
-
-To create a plugin named `MyPlugin`, you will need to create a `MyPlugin.cfc` and an `index.cfm` file. Then zip these together as `MyPlugin-x.x.zip`, where `x.x` is the version number of your plugin.
-
-The only other requirement to make a plugin work is that `MyPlugin.cfc` must contain a method named `init`. This method must set a variable called `this.version`, specifying the Wheels version the plugin is meant to be used on (or several Wheels version numbers in a list) and then return itself.
-
-Here's an example:
-
-{% code title="ExamplePlugin.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component {
-  function init(){
-    this.version="3.0,3.1";
-    return this;
-  }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-#### Init() not config()
-
-Note that plugins still use `init()` rather than `config()`
-{% endhint %}
-
-The `index.cfm` file is the user interface for your plugin and will be viewable when clicking through to it from the debug area of your application.
-
-### Using a Plugin to Add or Alter Capabilities
-
-A plugin can add brand new functions to Wheels or override existing ones. A plugin can also have a simple one-page user interface so that the users of the plugin can provide input, display content, etc.
-
-To add or override a function, you simply add the function to `MyPlugin.cfc`, and Wheels will inject it into Wheels on application start.
-
-Please note that all functions in your plugin need to be public `(access="public")`. If you have functions that should only be called from the plugin itself, we recommend starting the function name with the `$`character (this is how many internal Wheels functions are named as well) to avoid any naming collisions.
-
-It is also important to note that although you can overwrite functions, they are still available for you to leverage with the use of `core.functionName()`.
-
-### Example: Overriding timeAgoInWords()
-
-Let's say that we wanted Wheels's built-in function [timeAgoInWords()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.timeAgoInWords.html) to return the time followed by the string " (approximately)":
-
-{% code title="timeAgoInWords.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-public string function timeAgoInWords(){
-  return core.timeAgoInWords(argumentCollection=arguments) & " (approximately)";
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Plugin Attributes
-
-There are 3 attributes you can set on your plugin to customize its behavior. The first and most important one is the `mixin` attribute.
-
-By default, the functions in your plugins will be injected into all Wheels objects (controller, model, etc.). This is usually not necessary, and to avoid this overhead, you can use the mixin attribute to specify exactly where the functions should be injected. If you have a function that should be available in a controller (or view) this is how it could look:
-
-```markup
-<cfcomponent output="false" mixin="controller">
-```
-
-The `mixin` attribute can be set either on the `cfcomponent` tag or on the individual `cffunction` tags.
-
-The following values can be used for the mixin attribute: `application, global, none, controller, model, dispatch, microsoftsqlserver, mysql, oracle, postgresql`.
-
-Another useful attribute is the `environment` attribute. Using this, you can tell Wheels that a plugin should only inject its functions in certain environment modes. Here's an example of that, taken from the Scaffold plugin, which doesn't need to inject any functions to Wheels at all when it's running in production mode.
-
-```markup
-<cfcomponent output="false" mixin="controller" environment="development">
-```
-
-Finally, there is a way to specify that your plugin needs another plugin installed in order to work. Here's an example of that:
-
-```markup
-<cfcomponent output="false" dependency="someOtherPlugin">
-```
-
-### Making Plugin Development More Convenient with Wheels Settings
-
-When your Wheels application first initializes, it will unzip and cache the zip files in the `/plugins` folder. Each plugin then has its own expanded subfolder. If a subfolder exists but has no corresponding zip file, Wheels will delete the folder and its contents.
-
-This is convenient when you're deploying plugins but can be annoying when you're developing your own plugins. By default, every time you make a change to your plugin, you need to rezip your plugin files and reload the Wheels application by adding `?reload=true` to the URL.
-
-### Disabling Plugin Overwriting
-
-To force Wheels to skip the unzipping process, set the `overwritePlugins` setting to `false` in the development environment.
-
-{% code title="/config/development/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(overwritePlugins=false);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-With this setting, you'll be able to reload your application without worrying about your file being overwritten by the contents of the corresponding zip file.
-
-### Disabling Plugin Folder Deletion
-
-To force Wheels to skip the folder deletion process, set the `deletePluginDirectories` setting to `false` for your `development` environment.
-
-{% code title="/config/development/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(deletePluginDirectories=false);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-With this setting, you can now develop new plugins in your application without worrying about having a corresponding zip file in place.
-
-See the chapter on [Configuration and Defaults](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults) for more details about changing Wheels settings.
-
-### Stand-Alone Plugins
-
-If your plugin is completely stand-alone, you can call it from its view page using just the name of the plugin. This works because Wheels has created a pointer to the plugin object residing in the `application scope`. One example of a stand-alone plugin is the PluginManager. If you check out its view code, you will see that it calls itself like this:
-
-```javascript
-pluginManager.installPlugin(URL.plugin);
-```
-
-### Don't forget to comment!
-
-Wheels includes an inbuilt documentation generator. Try and tag your public facing functions appropriately.
-
-Here's an example from the wheels ical4J plugin:
-
-{% code title="ical4J" %}
-```java
-/**
- * Given a iCal style repeat rule, a seed date and a from-to range, get all recurring dates which satisfy those conditions
- *
- * [section: Plugins]
- * [category: Calendaring]
- *
- * @pattern The ical RRULE style string
- * @seed The seed date
- * @from When to generate repeat range from
- * @to When to generate repeat range till
- */
-public array function getRecurringDates(
- required string pattern,
- required date seed,
- date from,
- date to
-){
-    local.recur = $ical_createRecur(arguments.pattern);
-    return local.recur.getDates($ical_createDate(arguments.seed), $ical_createDate(arguments.from), $ical_createDate(arguments.to), $ical_createValue("DATE"));
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The javaDoc style comments will automatically show this function under Plugins > Calendaring, rather than in the "Uncategorized" functions. The `@parameter` lines give a helpful hint to the user
-
-### Box.json
-
-A `box.json` is required for new plugins. Read the [Publishing Plugins](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/plugins/publishing-plugins) chapter for more details on that. One advantage is that Wheels now includes the version and meta data for each plugin when there's a `box.json` file.
-
-```javascript
-// Version Number
-application.wheels.pluginMeta["pluginName"]["version"];
-
-// Meta Struct from box.json
-application.wheels.pluginMeta["pluginName"]["boxjson"];
-```
-
-This saves you having to read in the `box.json` file, should you wish to use it for storing ancillary data and settings.
-
-### Automatic Java Lib Mappings
-
-If you've ever wanted to do a quick wrapper for a java class/lib, you can add a `.class` or `.jar` file, and it will be automatically mapped into the `this.javaSettings.loadpaths` setting when the application starts.
-
-This means you can distribute plugins with Java libs and they'll work properly without additional user intervention!
-
-### Enabling Travis CI Testing
-
-Wheels has tight integration with command-line tools such as CommandBox. We can take advantage of the testing suite JSON return type and the Wheels CLI to easily build a CI test. It's perhaps easiest to just show the `.travis.yml` file - this goes in the root of your gitHub plugin repository, and once you've turned on testing under Travis.org, will run your test suite on every commit.
-
-{% code title=".travis.yml" %}
-```yaml
-language: java
-sudo: required
-jdk:
-  - oraclejdk8
-before_install:
-  # Get Commandbox
-  - curl -fsSl https://downloads.ortussolutions.com/debs/gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/commandbox.gpg > /dev/null
-  - sudo echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/commandbox.gpg] https://downloads.ortussolutions.com/debs/noarch /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/commandbox.list
-install:
-  # Install Commandbox
-  - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --assume-yes install CommandBox
-  # Check it's working
-  - box version
-  # Install CLI: needed to repackage the plugin to a zip on install
-  - box install wheels-cli
-  # Install Master Branch; nb, installed into folder of the git repo name, i.e neokoenig/wheels-ical4j
-  - box install wheels-dev/wheels
-  # Install the Plugin: use gitHub path to get the absolute latest rather than the forgebox version
-  - box install neokoenig/wheels-ical4j
-before_script:
-  # Master branch has a bunch of server.jsons we can use: lucee4 | lucee5 | cf10 | cf11 | cf2016
-  - box server start lucee5
-# Type should be the name of the plugin | servername should reflect the server we've just started
-script: >
-  testResults="$(box wheels test type=ical4j servername=lucee5)";
-  echo "$testResults";
-  if ! grep -i "\Tests Complete: All Good!" <<< $testResults;  then exit 1; fi
-notifications:
-    email: true
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-In sum, this:
-
-* Installs CommandBox
-* Installs the Wheels CLI
-* Installs the master branch of the Wheels repository
-* Installs your plugin from your repository (rather than the forgebox version which will be the version behind)
-* Starts the local server
-* Runs the test suite, pointing only at your plugin's unit tests
-
-Naturally, you could do more complex things with this, such as multiple CF Engines, but for a quick setup it's a good starting point!
-
-### Now Go Build Some Plugins!
-
-Armed with this knowledge about plugins, you can now go and add that feature you've always wanted or change that behavior you've always hated. We've stripped you of any right to blame us for your discontents. :)

-title: Installing and Using Plugins
-description: Extend Wheels functionality by using plugins.
----
-
-# Installing and Using Plugins
-
-Wheels is a fairly lightweight framework, and we like to keep it that way. We won't be adding thousands of various features to Wheels just because a couple of developers find them "cool." ;)
-
-Our intention is to only have functionality we consider "core" inside of Wheels itself and then encourage the use of _plugins_ for everything else.
-
-By using plugins created by the community or yourself, you're able to add brand new functionality to Wheels or completely change existing features. The possibilities are endless.
-
-### Manually Installing and Uninstalling Plugins
-
-This couldn't be any simpler. To install a plugin, just download the plugin's `zip` file and drop it in the `/plugins` folder.
-
-If you want to remove it later simply delete the `zip` file. (Wheels will clean up any leftover folders and files.)
-
-Reloading Wheels is required when installing/uninstalling. (Issue a `reload=true` request.)
-
-### Installing via Commandbox
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**Installing Wheels CLI**
-
-Before working with plugins, make sure you have the Wheels CLI installed. On macOS / Linux: `brew tap wheels-dev/wheels && brew install wheels`. On Windows: `choco install wheels`. (If you're on CommandBox, `box install wheels-cli` still works as the legacy install path.)
-{% endhint %}
-
-With the Wheels CLI installed, you can just do:
-
-{% code title="CommandBox" %}
-```shell
-# List all Wheels plugins on forgebox
-$ wheels plugins list
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This will present a list of available plugins. To install one, simply take note of the "Slug" and run with the `install` command.
-
-{% code title="CommandBox" %}
-```shell
-# install the Shortcodes plugin which has a slug of shortcodes
-$ install shortcodes
-
-# install the Select String plugin which has a slug of select-string
-$ install select-string
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-When run in the root of a Wheels application, it should automatically add the plugin to `/plugins` and generate a `.zip` file with the corresponding name and version number.
-
-### File Permissions on plugins Folder
-
-You may need to change access permissions on your application's `/plugins` folder so that Wheels can write the subfolders and files that it needs to run. If you get an error when testing out a plugin, you may need to loosen up the permission level.
-
-### Plugin Naming, Versioning, and Dependencies
-
-When you download plugins, you will see that they are named something like this: `Scaffold-0.1.zip`. In this case, `0.1` is the version number of the `Scaffold` plugin. If you drop both `Scaffold-0.1.zip` and `Scaffold-0.2.zip` in the plugins folder, Wheels will use the one with the highest version number and ignore any others.
-
-If you try to install a plugin that is not compatible with your installed version of Wheels or not compatible with a previously installed plugin (i.e., they try to add/override the same functions), Wheels will throw an error on application start.
-
-If you install a plugin that depends on another plugin, you will get a warning message displayed in the debug area. This message will name the plugin that you'll need to download and install to make the originally installed plugin work correctly.
-
-The debug area will also show the version number of the plugin if the plugin Author has included a suitable `box.json` file.
-
-### Due Diligence
-
-Plugins are very powerful, remember, they can completely override other functions, including Wheels core functions and functions of other installed plugins. For this reason we recommend that you take a look at the code itself for the plugins that you intend to use. This is especially important if you have multiple plugins that override the same function. In those cases you'll have to determine if the plugins play well with each other (which they typically do if they run their code and then defer back to the Wheels core function afterwards) or if they clash and cause problems (in which case you can perhaps contribute to the plugin repository in an effort to make the plugins behave better in situations like this).
-
-### Available Plugins
-
-To view all official plugins that are available for Wheels you can go to the [Plugins](https://www.forgebox.io/type/wheels-plugins) listing on forgebox. Often the community will have a better idea of what plugins work best for your situation, so get on the mailing list and ask if you're in any doubt.

-title: Publishing Plugins
-description: How to publish your plugin to forgebox.io via CommandBox
----
-
-# Publishing Plugins
-
-So, you've created your new magic, world solving plugin, and naturally, you want to share it with the world. Wheels uses [forgebox.io](https://www.forgebox.io/type/wheels-plugins) as a plugins repository. This enables us to manage our Wheels application's dependencies, install updates easily via CommandBox and more.
-
-As a plugin author, it's well worth spending a little time setting yourself up to work with forgebox with the minimum amount of effort. Once done, you'll be able to either publish directly from the commandline, or upload to forgebox manually.
-
-This tutorial makes extensive use of CommandBox, GIT and the Wheels CLI.
-
-### Requirements
-
-We strongly recommend always having the latest version of [CommandBox](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox).
-
-You'll also want the Wheels CLI. You can install that in CommandBox via `install wheels-cli`. This will also update it if you've got an older version installed.
-
-Some scripted commands also require the git CLI, although these are technically optional.
-
-### Setup a forgebox user account
-
-If you've not got a [forgebox.io](http://forgebox.io/) account you can either [register directly on forgebox](https://www.forgebox.io/security/registration) or very quickly via CommandBox itself
-
-{% code title="CommandBox" %}
-```shell
-# Register for an account
-$ forgebox register
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Once you've got your credentials, you should be good to go.
-
-If you've already got an account, you need to login at least once, which will store an API token for future use:
-
-{% code title="CommandBox" %}
-```shell
-# Login
-$ forgebox login
-
-# (optional) Check which account you're logged in with
-$ forgebox whoami
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Ensure you've got a box.json in your plugin root
-
-Forgebox uses your local `box.json` - you'll need one! Critical package information like the name of your plugin and the location are stored here. You can create one manually, or you can run:
-
-{% code title="Shell" %}
-```shell
-# Create a basic box.json
-$ init
-
-# Or pass in parameters at the same time
-$ init name="My Funky Plugin" slug=my-funky-plugin version=1.0.0 type="wheels-plugins"
-
-# Or use the wizard
-$ init --wizard
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Ensure you've set some critical box.json attributes
-
-In order for other Wheels users to quickly identify and install your plugin via the Wheels CLI, make sure you set the following `box.json` attributes - whilst a standard `box.json` might only have `name, version,author`, we need a little more information. Here's a template to get you started: (replace the values in CAPS)
-
-{% code title="box.json" %}
-```json
-{
-  // Required:
- "name":"PLUGIN-NAME",
- "version":"0.0.1",
- "author":"YOURNAME",
-  // Required: GitHub Repository stub
- "location":"GITHUBUSERNAME/GITHUB-REPONAME#v0.0.1",
-  // Required: Should always be /plugins/
- "directory":"/plugins/",
-  // Required: Should always be true
- "createPackageDirectory":true,
-  // Required: Must be the name of your primary CFC File
- "packageDirectory":"PLUGIN-NAME",
-  // Required: The Forgebox slug, must be unique
- "slug":"FORGEBOX-SLUG",
-  // Required: Must be wheels-plugins
- "type":"wheels-plugins",
-  // Required: From here is optional but recommended
- "homepage":"https://github.com/GITHUBUSERNAME/GITHUB-REPONAME",
- "shortDescription":"PLUGIN DESCRIPTION",
- "keywords":"KEYWORD",
- "private":false,
- "scripts":{
-   "postVersion":"package set location='GITHUBUSERNAME/GITHUB-REPONAME#v`package version`'",
- "patch-release":"bump --patch",
- "minor-release":"bump --minor",
- "major-release":"bump --major",
- "postPublish":"!git push --follow-tags && publish"
-  }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Your completed `box.json` might look something like this:
-
-{% code title="box.json" %}
-```json
-{
-  // Required:
- "name":"Shortcodes",
- "version":"0.0.4",
- "author":"Tom King",
-  // Required: GitHub Repository stub, including version hash
- "location":"neokoenig/wheels-shortcodes#v0.0.4",
-  // Required: Should always be /plugins/
- "directory":"/plugins/",
-  // Required: Should always be true
- "createPackageDirectory":true,
-  // Required: Must be the name of your primary CFC File
- "packageDirectory":"Shortcodes",
-  // Required: The Forgebox slug, must be unique
- "slug":"shortcodes",
-  // Required: Must be wheels-plugins
- "type":"wheels-plugins",
-  // Required: From here is optional but recommended
- "homepage":"https://github.com/neokoenig/wheels-shortcodes",
- "shortDescription":"Shortcodes Plugin for Wheels",
- "keywords":"shortcodes",
- "private":false,
- "scripts":{
-   "postVersion":"package set location='neokoenig/wheels-shortcodes#v`package version`'",
- "patch-release":"bump --patch",
- "minor-release":"bump --minor",
- "major-release":"bump --major",
- "postPublish":"!git push --follow-tags && publish"
-  }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Testing your publishing process (optional)
-
-If this is the first time you've done this, consider publishing a test version first to make sure your publishing process is spot on without having lots of unnecessary versions pushed up.
-
-### Publishing a plugin to forgebox
-
-Both Wheels CLI and Forgebox are expecting a tagged release with the plugin contents (e.g. zip). So the best way to publish is to...
-
-1. Navigate into the plugin directory
-2. Ensure that directory is authorized to publish the repo (e.g. `git remote -v` should list your fetch/push endpoints)
-
-> Note: Git dislikes nested repos, so it's best to setup a test wheels site specifically for plugin development/deployment. Then `git init` within each plugin directory itself, but not at the root. (e.g. `/plugins/PluginName/`)
-
-{% code title="CommandBox" %}
-```shell
-# from CommandBox prompt, within plugin directory
-$ run-script patch-release
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-ForgeBox does not store your actual package files like npm, but points to your download location.
-
-The following should happen (again, assuming you have git publish rights from that plugin directory)
-
-1. Auto increment your version number within box.json
-2. Push updated box.json to forgebox (with new version number + location)
-3. Create a git "Tagged Release" which is basically a zip containing the source files
-
-Once you run this command, you can run `forgebox show my-package` to confirm it's there. If you change the slug, a new package will be created. If you change the version, a new version will be added to the existing package.
-
-### Adding a new version via publishing scripts
-
-By adding the following block to our `box.json`, we can more easily deploy new versions with a single command:
-
-{% code title="box.json" %}
-```json
-"scripts":{
-    "postVersion":"package set location='GITHUBUSERNAME/GITHUB-REPONAME#v`package version`'",
-    "patch-release":"bump --patch",
-    "minor-release":"bump --minor",
-    "major-release":"bump --major",
-    "postPublish":"!git push --follow-tags && publish"
-  }
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Obviously, you'll need to change `location='GITHUBUSERNAME/GITHUB-REPONAME#v` to your repo.
-
-With these in place, **once you've committed your changes to your local repository**, you can now do:
-
-{% code title="CommandBox" %}
-```shell
-# Don't forget to commit your changes. You can access git directly from commandbox using !
-$ !git add .
-$ !git commit -m "my new changes"
-
-# Move from 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
-$ run-script patch-release
-
-# Move from 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0
-$ run-script minor-release
-
-# Move from 1.0.0 -> 2.0.0
-$ run-script major-release
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-This will:&#x20;
-
-* Set the package location to include the new version number
-* Publish to forgebox.io
-* Push your changes to gitHub (assuming you've set that up)&#x20;
-* Publish a gitHub tagged release
-
-This saves you having to manually update the version number too!
-
-{% code title="Commandbox" %}
-```shell
-# Example output of a patch release
-$ run-script patch-release
-
-Running package script [patch-release].
-> bump --patch && publish
-Set version = 0.1.7
-
-Running package script [postVersion].
-> package set location='neokoenig/wheels-cli#v`package version`'
-Set location = neokoenig/wheels-cli#v0.1.7
-Package is a Git repo.  Tagging...
-Tag [v0.1.7] created.
-Sending package information to ForgeBox, please wait...
-Package is alive, you can visit it here: https://www.forgebox.io/view/wheels-cli
-
-Running package script [postPublish].
-> !git push --follow-tags
-Counting objects: 10, done.
-Delta compression using up to 12 threads.

- * [new tag]         v0.1.7 -> v0.1.7
-
-Package published successfully in [forgebox]
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Lastly, you can double check it's made it into the plugins list via `wheels plugins list`
-
-### Removing a plugin from forgebox
-
-Likewise, you can unpublish a plugin, but keep in mind people might be relying on your plugin, so don't do this lightly!
-
-{% code title="CommandBox" %}
-```shell
-// Remove all versions of a package
-$ unpublish
-
-// Remove a specific version of a package
-$ unpublish 1.2.3
-
-// Skip the user confirmation prompt
-$ unpublish 1.2.3 --force
-```
-{% endcode %}

-title: Overview
----
-# Overview
-
-The intention of this section is to document the various pieces of the tooling that make the project function. This is not so much about the framework and using the framework as a developer but more for collaborators, contributors, and maintainers of the project.
-
-## Wheels Guides
-
-The guides are accessible at [https://wheels.dev](https://wheels.dev) and they are driven by the [docs](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/tree/develop/docs) folder in the
-Wheels repository on GitHub. This means that making changes to the guides can be accomplished via a Pull Request and code changes and changes to the guides can be submitted in the same PR.
-
-### Making changes to the Guides
-
-Start by cloning the [Wheels](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels) repository. The guides are contained in the `docs` folder of the repo. Make your proposed changes and submit a PR. Once the PR is reviewed and merged, the changes will automatically be synced up to GitBook and the changes will be live on the site.
-
-## API Documentation
-
-The API Documentation is comprised of two parts. The first is a json file that contains the data for a particular version of the framework and the second is a small Wheels App that reads that json file and displays the UI you see when you visit [https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0).
-
-We use a javadoc style of notation to document all the public functions of the framework. This system is actually available to you to document your own functions and is documented at [Documenting your Code](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/documenting-your-code). Additionally the sample code is driven off text files that are located in [vendor/wheels/public/docs/reference](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/tree/develop/vendor/wheels/public/docs/reference).
-
-So the first step in submitting changes to the API Documentation is similar to the Wheels Guides and starts with cloning the repository, making the changes, and submitting a PR.
-
-Once approved and merged in, then the json file is generated using a utility embedded in the framework itself. So once a version has been published to ForgeBox (either a SNAPSHOT or a stable release), use command box to install that version of the framework.
-
-```
-wheels generate app name=json template=wheels-base-template@be cfmlEngine=lucee5
-```
-
-This will install the Bleeding Edge version of the framework with the Lucee v5 CFML Engine. Once the installation completes start your server with docker as explained in the [Testing your application](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/testing-your-application) section of the guides.
-
-When the Congratulations screen is displayed, click on the Info Tab on the top menu and then the Utils tab from the sub menu.
-
-Then click on the Export Docs as JSON link to generate the json file. Save the json file. Typically these files are named based on the version of the framework they represent. i.e. the file for v2.5.0 would be named v2.5.json.
-
-Now that we have generated the JSON data file, we need to add it to the codebase for the API Documentation site. This codebase is driven from the [wheels-api repository](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels-api). A PR can be used to submit the json file to this repository. Currently the core team is manually adding this file to the repository when the API docs need to be updated.
-
-The application is then uploaded to the site hosted by [Viviotech](http://www.viviotech.net).
-
-At the moment, the process of updating the API Documentation is very manual, Future improvements will extend the CI pipeline and automatically update the API docs with each commit similarly to how the packages on ForgeBox are published automatically on each commit.

+title: Your First 15 Minutes
+description: A skim-level walkthrough that gets something running fast, before any concepts.
+type: tutorial
+sidebar:
+  order: 4
+---
+
+import { Aside, Steps, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Fifteen minutes. Zero explanations. You run commands, you see results, you know whether Wheels fits your brain. If it does, move on to the [full tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/) — that's where you'll actually learn how things work.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- Whether Wheels feels right for you
+- What a scaffolded Wheels app looks like
+- Where to go next
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  Assumes you've [installed the CLI](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/installing/). `wheels --version` should print a version line.
+</Aside>
+
+## 1. Create an app (3 min)
+
+First, confirm the CLI is installed:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+Then create a new app:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels new hello
+cd hello
+```
+
+This creates a SQLite-backed Wheels app called `hello` and drops you into its directory. The scaffold takes a couple of seconds.
+
+## 2. Start the server (2 min)
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels start
+```
+
+You'll see log lines ending with something like `Server started successfully`. Open [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) in your browser. A welcome page appears: "Welcome to hello. Your Wheels application is running."
+
+The dev server stays running in the background. Leave the terminal open.
+
+## 3. Add a page (5 min)
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Open `config/routes.cfm`. You'll see a `mapper()...end()` block wrapped in `<cfscript>`. Inside `mapper()`, add a line so the file looks like:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   mapper()
+       .get(name="greet", pattern="/greet", to="main##greet")
+       .wildcard()
+       .root(to="main##index", method="get")
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+   `.get(...)` declares: when a GET request hits `/greet`, run the `greet` action on the `Main` controller.
+
+2. Open `app/controllers/Main.cfc` and add a `greet` action:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function index() {
+       }
+       function greet() {
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+   Wheels renders the view at `app/views/main/greet.cfm`.
+
+3. Create `app/views/main/greet.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/main/greet.cfm"
+   <h1>Hello from Wheels</h1>
+   <p>This page didn't exist a minute ago.</p>
+   ```
+
+4. Tell Wheels to pick up the changes:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels reload
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+## 4. Verify (2 min)
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/greet
+```
+
+You should see `<h1>Hello from Wheels</h1>` in the response.
+
+## 5. What just happened (3 min)
+
+Three pieces moved:
+
+- **Route** — `routes.cfm` mapped a URL to a controller action. URL lookup is convention-driven; `/greet` → `main##greet` means "the `greet` function on the `Main` controller."
+- **Controller** — `Main.cfc`'s `greet` action ran. It did nothing visible; it just existed, so Wheels proceeded to render the view.
+- **View** — `app/views/main/greet.cfm` rendered. The path is conventional: `views/<controller>/<action>.cfm`.
+
+That's it. Every request is a variant of the same three-beat dance: route, controller action, view. The [full tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/) fills in models, migrations, forms, validations, and the rest.

+
+   The script downloads the latest release into `~/.wheels/bin/` and adds it to your `PATH`.
+
+2. Reload your shell or source the updated profile:

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`wheels: command not found`**
+
+Your shell's `PATH` doesn't include the CLI. Restart your shell, or on Linux source `~/.wheels/env` manually. On macOS, confirm Homebrew's bin path is in `PATH`: `echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | grep brew`.
+
+**`Error: unable to find Java runtime`**
+
+Install Java 21+ from [Adoptium](https://adoptium.net/). On macOS: `brew install openjdk@21`. Then export `JAVA_HOME` in your shell profile:
+
+```bash title="~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc"
+export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@21/21.0.8/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
+```
+
+Path will differ if you installed from Adoptium directly — use whatever `/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21` prints.
+
+**`brew: cask 'wheels' has no formulae to install from`**
+
+You skipped `brew tap wheels-dev/wheels`. Run the tap command, then re-run the install.

+You'll create a new Wheels app called `blog`, start the dev server, and add a `/hello` route that renders a custom page. By the end, `curl localhost:8080/hello` returns "Hello, World."
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What `wheels new` scaffolds
+- How to add a route, a controller action, and a view
+- How reload works
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  This is Part 1 of the [Build a Blog tutorial](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/). You don't need Wheels or CFML experience — just general programming background.
+</Aside>
+
+## Where we left off
+
+This is Part 1. You're starting with nothing. By the end, you'll have a working Wheels app responding to `/hello`. Each subsequent part begins with a "Where we left off" banner showing the file tree and database schema, so you can resume without reading Part N-1.
+
+## Install the Wheels CLI
+
+If you haven't yet, see [Installing Wheels](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/installing/) for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+You should see a Wheels version number. If not, revisit the install guide.
+
+## Create the app
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create a new app called `blog`. Run this in a fresh directory where you want the app to live:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels new blog
+   ```
+
+   Expected output: a configuration summary (port, datasource, reload password) and the `Next steps` block.
+
+2. Move into the new directory:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   cd blog
+   ```
+
+3. Start the dev server:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels start
+   ```
+
+   The server boots in a few seconds and prints the URL it's listening on (default: `http://localhost:8080`).
+
+</Steps>
+
+Open `http://localhost:8080` in your browser. You'll see a welcome page: "Welcome to blog. Your Wheels application is running."
+
+## What got created
+
+<FileTree>
+- blog
+  - app
+    - controllers/
+      - Controller.cfc
+      - Main.cfc
+    - models/
+    - views/
+      - layout.cfm
+      - helpers.cfm
+      - main/
+        - index.cfm
+    - migrator/
+  - config
+    - routes.cfm
+    - settings.cfm
+    - environment.cfm
+  - db/
+    - development.sqlite
+  - public/
+  - tests/
+  - vendor
+    - wheels/
+  - lucee.json
+</FileTree>
+
+Three directories matter right now:
+
+- `app/controllers/` — request-handling code. You'll see the default `Main.cfc`.
+- `app/views/` — templates. The default home page lives at `app/views/main/index.cfm`.
+- `config/routes.cfm` — maps URLs to controller actions.
+
+`vendor/wheels/` is the framework itself, copied into your app. You generally don't touch it.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  **On Hotwire and Basecoat:** a fresh `wheels new` ships with only the core framework. Turbo (for SPA-like page transitions) and Basecoat (for styled forms and components) arrive as packages later in the tutorial when you actually need them. For now, everything is plain server-rendered HTML.
+</Aside>
+
+## Add a `/hello` route
+
+You'll add a new URL, a new action on the existing `Main` controller, and a new view.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Open `config/routes.cfm`. Inside the `<cfscript>...</cfscript>` block, you'll find a `mapper()...end()` chain. It looks like this:
+
+   ```cfm title="config/routes.cfm — starting state"
+   mapper()
+       // CLI-Appends-Here
+       .wildcard()
+       .root(to="main##index", method="get")
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+   Add a `.get(...)` line for `/hello` before `.wildcard()`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   mapper()
+       .get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="main##hello")
+       .wildcard()
+       .root(to="main##index", method="get")
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+   `.get(...)` declares: when a GET hits `/hello`, run the `hello` action on the `Main` controller. Route name `hello` means you can generate this URL elsewhere with `urlFor(route="hello")`.
+
+2. Open `app/controllers/Main.cfc` and add a `hello` action alongside `index`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function index() {
+       }
+       function hello() {
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+   The action does nothing visible. Wheels will still render the view at `app/views/main/hello.cfm` by convention.
+
+3. Create `app/views/main/hello.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/main/hello.cfm"
+   <h1>Hello, World</h1>
+   ```
+
+4. Tell Wheels to pick up your changes:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels reload
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Your app should now respond to `/hello`:
+
+```bash title="verify"
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/hello
+```
+
+Expected: `<h1>Hello, World</h1>` in the response body (plus any layout wrapping).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`wheels: command not found`** — PATH doesn't see the CLI. See [Installing Wheels](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/installing/).
+
+**`Route '/hello' not found`** — you added the route but didn't reload. Run `wheels reload`.
+
+**Blank page at `/hello`** — the view file is in the wrong place. It must be at `app/views/main/hello.cfm` (lowercase `main`, matching the controller name).
+
+## What's next
+
+In [Part 2](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/02-first-model/) you'll add your first model, write a migration, and seed real data. The browser-render-a-page part is done; now you meet the database.

+title: "Part 2: Your First Model"
+description: Generate a Post model by hand, write a migration, seed data, and build the index/show actions. Meet Wheels' ORM.
+type: tutorial
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+
+import { Aside, Steps, FileTree } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+You'll add a `Post` model, create the `posts` table via a migration, seed two records, and build `index`/`show` actions backed by Wheels' ORM.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How Wheels models map to tables, and where configuration lives
+- How migrations describe schema changes in ordered CFC files
+- How `seedOnce()` keeps seed data idempotent
+- How finders, scopes, and enums combine into query-building
+
+Estimated time: 25 minutes.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  This builds on [Part 1](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/01-hello-wheels/). You need the `blog` app from Part 1, with the dev server able to start on port 8080.
+</Aside>
+
+## Where we left off
+
+At the end of Part 1 you had a running `blog` app with a `/hello` route. There's no database, no models, and no data:
+
+<FileTree>
+- blog
+  - app
+    - controllers
+      - Controller.cfc
+      - Main.cfc
+    - views
+      - layout.cfm
+      - main
+        - index.cfm
+        - hello.cfm
+  - config
+    - routes.cfm
+    - settings.cfm
+  - db
+    - development.sqlite
+</FileTree>
+
+`Main.cfc` has `index` and `hello` actions. `config/routes.cfm` has a `/hello` named route alongside the wildcard and root. The SQLite database file exists but has no application tables. You'll fix all of that here.
+
+## Hand-write the Post model
+
+Normally you'd run `wheels generate model Post title:string body:text` and Wheels would write both the model CFC and a migration. On the `wheels` CLI version this tutorial targets (`0.3.5-SNAPSHOT`), the generator needs snippet templates that a fresh `wheels new` doesn't ship with. The generator will gain those templates in a future CLI release. For now, you'll hand-write the files — it's three small files, and it's a useful exercise.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/models/Post.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Model" {
+       function config() {
+           enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`component extends="Model"` makes this a Wheels model — by convention, `Post.cfc` maps to a `posts` table. The `config()` function is where model configuration (associations, validations, callbacks, enums, scopes) goes.
+
+`enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived")` declares that `status` can only hold one of three values. In return Wheels auto-generates:
+
+- Scopes: `Post.draft()`, `Post.published()`, `Post.archived()` — chainable query fragments.
+- Checkers: `post.isDraft()`, `post.isPublished()`, `post.isArchived()` — per-instance booleans.
+
+You'll use the `published()` scope in a minute.
+
+## Write the migration
+
+Migrations are ordered, reversible schema changes. Each one is a CFC in `app/migrator/migrations/` whose filename starts with a timestamp (`YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_description.cfc`). `wheels migrate latest` runs every pending migration in timestamp order.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/migrator/migrations/20260419120000_create_posts_table.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Create posts table" {
+       function up() {
+           transaction {
+               try {
+                   t = createTable(name="posts");
+                   t.string(columnNames="title", default="", allowNull=true, limit=255);
+                   t.text(columnNames="body", default="", allowNull=true);
+                   t.string(columnNames="status", default="draft", allowNull=false, limit=20);
+                   t.datetime(columnNames="publishedAt", allowNull=true);
+                   t.timestamps();
+                   t.create();
+               } catch (any e) {
+                   local.exception = e;
+               }
+               if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
+                   transaction action="rollback";
+                   Throw(errorCode="1", detail=local.exception.detail, message=local.exception.message, type="any");
+               } else {
+                   transaction action="commit";
+               }
+           }
+       }
+       function down() {
+           transaction {
+               dropTable("posts");
+               transaction action="commit";
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+A few things to notice:
+
+- `up()` runs when applying the migration; `down()` reverses it.
+- `createTable(name="posts")` returns a builder. You add typed columns on it, then call `t.create()` to emit the DDL.
+- `t.timestamps()` adds both `createdAt` and `updatedAt` as `datetime` columns — don't add them yourself.
+- `status` is stored as a short string matching the enum values. Wheels doesn't require a database-level enum type.
+- The `transaction { try ... catch ... }` shape looks verbose. It's what the generator produces too; it ensures partial schema changes roll back cleanly.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  In real use, the CLI picks the timestamp. Here we use a fixed `20260419120000` so the filename is stable across readers.
+</Aside>
+
+## Run the migration
+
+`wheels migrate latest` needs the dev server running — it reaches into the app over HTTP to execute migrations.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Make sure the server is up:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels start
+   ```
+
+   If it's already running, this is a no-op.
+
+2. Apply pending migrations:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels migrate latest
+   ```
+
+   Expected output includes `Migrating up 20260419120000_create_posts_table.cfc` followed by `Migration complete.`
+
+</Steps>
+
+The `posts` table now exists in `db/development.sqlite`.
+
+## Seed the database
+
+Wheels loads seed data from `app/db/seeds.cfm` (shared) and optionally `app/db/seeds/<environment>.cfm` (environment-specific). The `seedOnce()` helper is idempotent: it checks `uniqueProperties` first and only inserts when the record is missing. Running `wheels seed` repeatedly is safe.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/db/seeds.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   seedOnce(modelName="Post", uniqueProperties="title", properties={
+       title: "Hello world",
+       body: "My first Wheels post.",
+       status: "published",
+       publishedAt: Now()
+   });
+   seedOnce(modelName="Post", uniqueProperties="title", properties={
+       title: "Learning Wheels",
+       body: "Working through the tutorial.",
+       status: "published",
+       publishedAt: Now()
+   });
+   ```
+
+2. Run the seed:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels seed
+   ```
+
+   Expected output mentions two records seeded. Run it again — both will be skipped because the titles already exist.
+
+</Steps>
+
+## Build the index and show actions
+
+Controllers pull data and hand it to views. You'll add a `Posts` controller with two actions: `index` (list all posts) and `show` (one post by ID).
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function index() {
+           posts = model("Post").published().findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+       }
+       function show() {
+           post = model("Post").findByKey(params.key);
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+What the code does:
+
+- `model("Post")` returns the `Post` model object you can call finders on.
+- `.published()` is the scope auto-generated from the `status` enum — equivalent to "where status = 'published'".
+- `.findAll(order="publishedAt DESC")` executes the query and returns a query object (not an array).
+- `findByKey(params.key)` looks up one record by primary key. `params.key` is the URL segment Wheels extracts from resource routes (e.g. `/posts/7` → `params.key = 7`).
+
+## Add the routes
+
+Now wire URLs to those actions.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Update `config/routes.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   mapper()
+       .resources(name="posts", only="index,show")
+       .get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="main##hello")
+       .wildcard()
+       .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`.resources(name="posts", only="index,show")` declares the two RESTful routes you need: `GET /posts` → `posts##index`, `GET /posts/:key` → `posts##show`. Route order matters — `.resources` before `.wildcard()`, and `.root(...)` last. The root now points at `posts##index` instead of `main##index`, so `/` lists posts.
+
+## Write the views
+
+Finally, the templates.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/views/posts/index.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/index.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="posts" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <h1>Posts</h1>
+   <cfloop query="posts">
+       <article>
+           <h2>#linkTo(route="post", key=posts.id, text=posts.title)#</h2>
+           <p>#posts.body#</p>
+       </article>
+   </cfloop>
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+2. Create `app/views/posts/show.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/show.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="post" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <h1>#post.title#</h1>
+   <p>#post.body#</p>
+   <p>#linkTo(route="posts", text="← all posts")#</p>
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+A few things to notice:
+
+- `<cfparam name="posts" default="">` declares the variable the view expects. Every variable handed from a controller to a view should be `cfparam`'d at the top of the view.
+- `<cfloop query="posts">` iterates the query returned by `findAll()`. Inside the loop, `posts.title`, `posts.body`, and `posts.id` refer to the current row's columns.
+- `linkTo(route="post", key=posts.id, text=posts.title)` generates a link to `/posts/:key` using the singular route name `post` that `.resources("posts")` defined for you. `linkTo(route="posts")` (plural) points back to the index.
+
+## Smoke test
+
+Confirm your CLI is the version this tutorial targets:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+The verify-docs harness runs this to confirm your `wheels` CLI is installed and reports a Wheels version.
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Reload the app and hit the three URLs below. Each should return the response listed.
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels reload
+```
+
+- `curl http://localhost:8080/posts` — returns the index page with both posts rendered inside `<article>` tags.
+- `curl http://localhost:8080/posts/1` — returns the show page for the first post.
+- `curl http://localhost:8080/` — the root now renders the posts index (because you changed the root route).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`Data source wheelstestdb not found`** — the migration didn't run, so the `posts` table doesn't exist. Make sure the dev server is running, then run `wheels migrate latest`.
+
+**`model 'Post' is undefined`** — Wheels caches model discovery. After adding `app/models/Post.cfc` you must run `wheels reload` (or append `?reload=true&password=...` to any URL).
+
+**No rows on the index page** — the seed file didn't run. Run `wheels seed` and check the output mentions two records. If the seed ran but the page is still empty, verify both seed records have `status: "published"` — the controller filters by `.published()`.
+
+## What's next
+
+In [Part 3: CRUD Scaffold](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/03-crud-scaffold/) you'll throw most of Part 2's hand-written code away and let `wheels generate scaffold` produce the full create/read/update/delete stack. You'll also activate the Hotwire and Basecoat packages so the scaffold renders with styled forms and Turbo page transitions instead of plain HTML.

+
+You'll delete the hand-written controller and views from Part 2, regenerate them as a full CRUD scaffold, and learn how Wheels packages activate — with a first look at Hotwire.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What `wheels generate scaffold` produces — 7 actions, 4 views, one shared form partial
+- How the standard REST actions (`index`/`show`/`new`/`create`/`edit`/`update`/`delete`) fit together
+- How route model binding turns `params.key` into `params.post` automatically
+- What packages are and how the `packages/` → `vendor/` activation model works
+
+Estimated time: 25 minutes.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  This replaces most of Part 2's hand-written code. Keep `Post.cfc`, the migration, and the seed file — everything else gets rewritten.
+</Aside>
+
+## Where we left off
+
+Part 2 ended with a minimal slice: one model, one migration, one seed file, a two-action controller, and two views.
+
+<FileTree>
+- blog
+  - app
+    - controllers
+      - Controller.cfc
+      - Main.cfc
+      - Posts.cfc

+        - index.cfm
+        - show.cfm
+  - config
+    - routes.cfm
+    - settings.cfm
+  - db
+    - development.sqlite
+</FileTree>
+
+Schema recap: `posts(id, title, body, status, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt)` with `status` constrained to `draft`, `published`, or `archived`. `config/routes.cfm` has `.resources(name="posts", only="index,show")`.
+
+## What scaffold does
+
+Scaffolds generate the seven standard REST actions on a controller, views for the four user-facing actions, and a shared form partial. A scaffold for `Post` produces:
+
+- `app/controllers/Posts.cfc` with `index`, `show`, `new`, `create`, `edit`, `update`, `delete`
+- `app/views/posts/index.cfm`, `show.cfm`, `new.cfm`, `edit.cfm`
+- `app/views/posts/_form.cfm` — shared by `new` and `edit`
+
+Because scaffolds follow convention, a plain `.resources("posts")` line in `config/routes.cfm` is all the routing you need. Wheels maps `GET /posts` → `index`, `GET /posts/new` → `new`, `POST /posts` → `create`, `GET /posts/:key` → `show`, `GET /posts/:key/edit` → `edit`, `PATCH /posts/:key` → `update`, and `DELETE /posts/:key` → `delete`.
+
+Route model binding kicks in on the actions that take a key. For `show`, `edit`, `update`, and `delete`, Wheels finds the `Post` matching `params.key` before your action runs and hands it to you as `params.post`. No `findByKey` in the controller.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  On the `wheels` CLI version this tutorial targets (`0.3.5-SNAPSHOT`), `wheels generate scaffold` needs snippet templates that a fresh `wheels new` doesn't ship with. A future release will bundle them. For now you'll hand-write the files the generator would produce — mechanical, but it cements the shape of a scaffold in your head.
+</Aside>
+
+## Delete Part 2's handiwork
+
+Drop the hand-written controller and views. The model, migration, seed file, and the `resources("posts")` route stay.
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels destroy controller Posts
+```
+
+If your CLI doesn't support `destroy` (same snippet-template gap as `generate`), remove the files directly:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+rm app/controllers/Posts.cfc
+rm -r app/views/posts
+```
+
+Leave `app/models/Post.cfc`, `app/migrator/migrations/20260419120000_create_posts_table.cfc`, `app/db/seeds.cfm`, and `config/routes.cfm` alone.
+
+## Generate the scaffold
+
+The one-line version — what you'd run on a future CLI with the snippets bundled:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels generate scaffold Post title:string body:text status:enum
+```
+
+If that errors with `Template not found: ModelContent.txt`, hand-write the files in the sections below. They're what the generator would produce.
+
+### The controller
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function index() {
+           posts = model("Post").findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+       }
+       function show() {
+           post = params.post;
+       }
+       function new() {
+           post = model("Post").new();
+       }
+       function create() {
+           post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+           if (post.save()) {
+               redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+           } else {
+               renderView(action="new");
+           }
+       }
+       function edit() {
+           post = params.post;
+       }
+       function update() {
+           post = params.post;
+           if (post.update(params.post)) {
+               redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+           } else {
+               renderView(action="edit");
+           }
+       }
+       function delete() {
+           post = params.post;
+           post.delete();
+           redirectTo(route="posts");
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+What's going on:
+
+- `params.post` is populated by route model binding — `resources("posts")` asked Wheels to look up a `Post` by `params.key` before each key-scoped action. The action body uses it directly.
+- `create` and `update` follow the same pattern: try to persist, redirect on success, re-render the form on failure. `renderView(action="new")` re-uses the `new` view without redirecting, so `post` keeps its user-typed values and validation errors.
+- `redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id)` generates `/posts/123`. The singular `post` route comes for free from `.resources("posts")`.
+- `delete` calls `post.delete()` then redirects back to the index.
+
+### The form partial
+
+The `new` and `edit` views both render the same form. Put the shared markup in a partial.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/views/posts/_form.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/_form.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="post" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   #errorMessagesFor("post")#
+   #startFormTag(action=IsNumeric(post.id ?: "") ? "update" : "create", key=post.id ?: "")#
+       <label>Title<br>
+           #textField(objectName="post", property="title")#
+       </label>
+       <label>Body<br>
+           #textArea(objectName="post", property="body")#
+       </label>
+       <label>Status<br>
+           #select(objectName="post", property="status", options="draft,published,archived")#
+       </label>
+       <label>Published at<br>
+           #dateTimeField(objectName="post", property="publishedAt")#
+       </label>
+       <button type="submit">Save</button>
+   #endFormTag()#
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Notes:
+
+- Partial filenames start with `_`. You reference them as `"form"` (no underscore, no extension) when including.
+- `errorMessagesFor("post")` renders a `<div class="errors">` with any validation errors on the `post` object. When there are none, it renders nothing.
+- `startFormTag` picks the right HTTP method and action URL based on whether `post.id` exists. A new `Post` has no id, so the form posts to `create`; an existing one PATCHes to `update`.
+- `textField`, `textArea`, `select`, `dateTimeField` are object-bound helpers — `objectName="post"` plus `property="title"` becomes `name="post[title]"` with the current value pre-filled.
+
+### The four views
+
+Each view is a thin wrapper. Compile checking here is skipped — these are plain HTML with a handful of helpers.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/views/posts/index.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/index.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="posts" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <h1>Posts</h1>
+   <p>#linkTo(route="newPost", text="New post")#</p>
+   <cfloop query="posts">
+       <article>
+           <h2>#linkTo(route="post", key=posts.id, text=posts.title)#</h2>
+           <p>#posts.body#</p>
+           <small>status: #posts.status#</small>
+       </article>
+   </cfloop>
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+2. Create `app/views/posts/show.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/show.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="post" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <h1>#post.title#</h1>
+   <p>#post.body#</p>
+   <p>status: #post.status#</p>
+   <p>
+       #linkTo(route="editPost", key=post.id, text="Edit")# ·
+       #buttonTo(route="post", key=post.id, text="Delete", method="delete")# ·
+       #linkTo(route="posts", text="← all posts")#
+   </p>
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+3. Create `app/views/posts/new.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/new.cfm"
+   <h1>New post</h1>
+   <cfoutput>#includePartial("form")#</cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+4. Create `app/views/posts/edit.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/edit.cfm"
+   <h1>Edit post</h1>
+   <cfoutput>#includePartial("form")#</cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`linkTo(route="newPost")`, `linkTo(route="editPost", key=...)`, and `buttonTo(route="post", key=..., method="delete")` all use route names that `.resources("posts")` generated. `buttonTo` emits a small form (because browsers don't issue `DELETE` from links) rather than an anchor tag.
+
+## Update the routes
+
+Part 2 restricted the resource to `only="index,show"`. Drop the restriction so all seven actions route.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `config/routes.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   mapper()
+       .resources(name="posts", binding=true)
+       .get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="main##hello")
+       .wildcard()
+       .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+With `.resources(name="posts", binding=true)` alone, all seven REST routes activate. The named routes (`post`, `posts`, `newPost`, `editPost`) light up at the same time — that's what the views already reference.
+
+The `binding=true` arg turns on **route model binding**. When a request hits `/posts/:key`, Wheels looks up `Post` by that key BEFORE your controller action runs and hands it to you as `params.post`. That's why `show`, `edit`, `update`, and `delete` can use `params.post` directly without calling `findByKey` themselves. Without `binding=true`, `params.post` is undefined on those actions — you'd have to look up the model manually.
+
+## Packages — the activation model
+
+Core Wheels lives in `vendor/wheels/`. Optional features ship as separate packages. In the framework source tree those packages live at `packages/<name>/`. Activating one means copying (or symlinking) it into `vendor/<name>/`. On app boot, `PackageLoader.cfc` walks `vendor/*/package.json` and wires each package's mixins, services, and middleware into the framework.
+
+Three first-party packages ship today:
+
+- **`hotwire`** — Turbo Drive for SPA-like page transitions, Turbo Frames for partial updates, Turbo Streams for server-pushed DOM changes. No app code changes needed for Turbo Drive — activation alone makes link clicks feel instant.
+- **`basecoat`** — Tailwind-based UI components for forms, buttons, and layouts.
+- **`sentry`** — error tracking integration.
+
+Conceptually, activating Hotwire looks like this:
+
+```bash title="illustrative — do not type"
+cp -r packages/hotwire vendor/hotwire
+wheels reload
+```
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  On a fresh `wheels new` app, the `packages/` directory doesn't exist — it lives in the framework source tree. On this CLI version, you'd copy the package from the framework repo by hand. A future release will add a `wheels package install <name>` command. Part 4 wires Hotwire into the blog for real.
+</Aside>
+
+Once Hotwire is active, clicking any internal link becomes a Turbo Drive visit — the page body swaps in without a full reload, and the browser history is preserved. The magic is invisible: no `<turbo-frame>` markup is required for the baseline experience.
+
+## Smoke test
+
+Confirm your CLI is the version this tutorial targets:
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Reload the app and exercise the full CRUD cycle:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels reload
+```
+
+1. `curl http://localhost:8080/posts` — returns the index with the two seeded posts and a "New post" link.
+2. Visit `http://localhost:8080/posts/1` in a browser — shows one post, with Edit, Delete, and back buttons.
+3. From the index, click "New post", fill the form, submit — a third post appears on the index page.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`Route 'editPost' not found`** — you dropped `only="index,show"` from `.resources("posts")` but didn't reload. Run `wheels reload`.
+
+**`Component Posts has no public method create`** — the rewritten `Posts.cfc` wasn't reloaded. Run `wheels reload` (or append `?reload=true&password=...` to any URL).
+
+**`params.post is undefined` in `show`/`edit`/`update`/`delete`** — route model binding didn't resolve. Make sure `.resources(name="posts")` is present and that your URL includes a key segment (`/posts/1`, not `/posts`).
+
+## What's next
+
+In [Part 4: Validations + Turbo Frames](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/tutorial/04-validations-frames/) you'll add `validatesPresenceOf` to the `Post` model, wrap the form in a `<turbo-frame>`, and watch inline validation errors update without a page reload.
+
+The scaffold's generated controller is a great starting point for [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/). The `_form.cfm` it emits is unpacked in [Views, Layouts, Partials](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/views-layouts-partials/).

+description: Add validations to the Post model. Wrap the form in a <turbo-frame> so errors come back inline without a page reload.
+type: tutorial
+sidebar:
+  order: 4

+
+import { Aside, Steps, FileTree } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+You'll put validation rules on the `Post` model, wrap the form in a Turbo Frame, and watch invalid submissions re-render the form inline — no page flash, no scroll jump, no lost input.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- Where validations live and when Wheels runs them
+- How `errorMessagesFor` renders model errors in a view
+- What a `<turbo-frame>` is and how it swaps DOM in place
+- How the controller cooperates with Turbo by rendering just a partial on failure
+
+Estimated time: 30 minutes.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  This builds directly on Part 3's scaffold. The controller, views, and form partial you hand-wrote there are the starting point. You'll edit three files: `app/models/Post.cfc`, `app/views/layout.cfm`, `app/views/posts/_form.cfm`, plus two actions in `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`.
+</Aside>
+
+## Where we left off
+
+Part 3 gave you a full seven-action CRUD cycle: controller, four views, shared form partial, and `.resources("posts")` in the routes.

+
+Schema recap: `posts(id, title, body, status, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt)` with `status` constrained to `draft`, `published`, or `archived`. The seed file inserted two posts. `config/routes.cfm` has a bare `.resources(name="posts")` — all seven REST routes active, no `only` restriction.
+
+## Why validations live on the model
+
+Validations belong on the model, not the controller. Any code path that saves a `Post` — a web form, a background job, a seed script, a REPL — should enforce the same rules. Putting them on the model guarantees that.
+
+Wheels runs validations when you call `.save()` or `.update()`. If any rule fails, the call returns `false` and the model's `.errors()` collection fills up. The controller's only job is to check the return value. On `true`, redirect. On `false`, re-render the form. The `_form.cfm` partial already calls `errorMessagesFor("post")` — it'll render any errors Wheels collected.
+
+## Add validations
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/models/Post.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Model" {
+       function config() {
+           enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
+           validatesPresenceOf("title,body");
+           validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120);
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Two new lines, two rules:
+
+- `validatesPresenceOf("title,body")` — both `title` and `body` must be non-empty strings. The comma-separated form is a shortcut for "apply this validation to each of these properties with no extra options." When you need per-property options (a custom message, a condition), switch to `property="title"` (singular) and add them as named arguments.
+- `validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120)` — `title` can't exceed 120 characters. `property` is singular here because you're passing options — mixing positional and named arguments isn't allowed in Wheels.
+
+When someone submits the form with a blank title, `post.save()` returns `false` and `post.errors()` contains an entry like `{property: "title", message: "Title can't be empty"}`. `errorMessagesFor("post")` in the form partial renders that as a list.
+
+## Load Turbo in the layout
+
+A `<turbo-frame>` is an HTML element shipped by the [Hotwire Turbo](https://turbo.hotwired.dev/) library. When a link or form inside a frame is activated, Turbo intercepts the navigation, fetches the response, finds the element with a matching `id` in the returned HTML, and swaps only that frame's contents. The rest of the page stays exactly where it was — no flash, no scroll jump, no lost input in other fields.
+
+For the frame to do anything, Turbo has to be loaded on the page. The `hotwire` package (introduced conceptually in Part 3) handles this automatically when activated. Until you activate it, include Turbo from a CDN.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Add this near the end of the `<head>` block in `app/views/layout.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/layout.cfm (head section)"
+   <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@hotwired/turbo@8.0.0/dist/turbo.es2017-esm.min.js"></script>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+That one tag gives you Turbo Drive (SPA-like page transitions) globally, plus the Frame and Stream features. Once the `hotwire` package is installable on your CLI, this manual include goes away — the package drops a bundled Turbo build into `public/` and wires the tag for you.
+
+## Wrap the form in a Turbo Frame
+
+The form partial needs a `<turbo-frame>` with an `id` that the server will reuse in its response. Pick any id you like — `post_form` is clear.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/views/posts/_form.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/_form.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="post" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <turbo-frame id="post_form">
+       #errorMessagesFor("post")#
+       #startFormTag(action=IsNumeric(post.id ?: "") ? "update" : "create", key=post.id ?: "")#
+           <label>Title<br>
+               #textField(objectName="post", property="title")#
+           </label>
+           <label>Body<br>
+               #textArea(objectName="post", property="body")#
+           </label>
+           <label>Status<br>
+               #select(objectName="post", property="status", options="draft,published,archived")#
+           </label>
+           <label>Published at<br>
+               #dateTimeField(objectName="post", property="publishedAt")#
+           </label>
+           <button type="submit">Save</button>
+       #endFormTag()#
+   </turbo-frame>
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+The id `post_form` is the contract. When the controller responds to a failed submit, the response must contain a `<turbo-frame id="post_form">` with the new contents. Turbo scans the response, finds that element, and swaps it in.
+
+## Make the controller cooperate
+
+The `create` and `update` actions in Part 3 re-rendered the full `new` or `edit` view on failure. That works fine for a plain-HTML form, but with Turbo Frames in the picture it sends back an entire HTML page when all Turbo wants is the frame. The fix: render just the form partial, without the app layout.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function index() {
+           posts = model("Post").findAll(order="publishedAt DESC");
+       }
+       function show() {
+           post = params.post;
+       }
+       function new() {
+           post = model("Post").new();
+       }
+       function create() {
+           post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+           if (post.save()) {
+               redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+           } else {
+               renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false);
+           }
+       }
+       function edit() {
+           post = params.post;
+       }
+       function update() {
+           post = params.post;
+           if (post.update(params.post)) {
+               redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+           } else {
+               renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false);
+           }
+       }
+       function delete() {
+           post = params.post;
+           post.delete();
+           redirectTo(route="posts");
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false)` renders `app/views/posts/_form.cfm` only — no surrounding layout, no other views. Because the partial's root element is `<turbo-frame id="post_form">`, the response is exactly what Turbo needs. Turbo finds the matching frame on the current page and swaps the contents in place. The URL doesn't change, nothing else on the page moves, the user sees the errors render above the fields.
+
+Note that the success path is unchanged: `redirectTo` still issues a full HTTP redirect. Turbo Drive handles that naturally — the browser follows the redirect, Turbo fetches the new page, and swaps the body.
+
+## Try it
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels reload
+```
+
+Open `http://localhost:8080/posts/new` in your browser. Clear the Title field and click Save. The form reappears with "Title can't be empty" above the fields — the URL hasn't changed, the page didn't flash, and any text you typed in Body is still there. That's the Turbo Frame swap.
+
+Now put the title back, paste 200 characters into it, and submit again. You'll see "Title is too long (maximum is 120 characters)" — same inline replacement, no full reload.
+
+Fix both fields and save. Redirect to `/posts/:id`, same as before. The failure path and success path diverge only in what the controller renders; the rest is Turbo doing its job.
+
+## Smoke test
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Three things to verify in the browser:
+
+1. Submitting the form with an empty Title shows "Title can't be empty" inline. No page flash, URL unchanged.
+2. Submitting with a 200-character Title shows "Title is too long (maximum is 120 characters)" inline. Same behavior.
+3. A valid submission redirects to `/posts/:id` and displays the new post.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Page reloads on invalid submission instead of showing errors inline** — Turbo isn't loaded on the page. Check that the `<script type="module" src="...turbo...">` tag is in `app/views/layout.cfm`. Open browser DevTools, reload, and look for JavaScript errors or a failed request for the Turbo script.
+
+**Errors appear but the page refreshes anyway** — the controller is rendering the full view (`renderView(action="new")` left over from Part 3) instead of the partial. Switch both `create` and `update` failure branches to `renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false)`.
+
+**Errors don't appear at all** — the form partial is missing `#errorMessagesFor("post")#`, or the form isn't wrapped in `<turbo-frame>`, or the id on the frame doesn't match between the initial page and the response. Open DevTools, submit, and inspect the response body: it must contain `<turbo-frame id="post_form">`.
+
+## What's next
+
+In Part 5 you'll add a `Comment` model, associate it with `Post` via `hasMany`/`belongsTo`, and use Turbo Streams to append new comments to the show page without reloading — the same feel as the Frame swap, but for collections.
+
+The validation API you just used is documented in full at [Validation and Error Display](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/validation-and-errors/). The form helpers (including the `data-auto-id` attribute for test selectors) are covered in [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/).

+title: "Part 5: Comments and Turbo Streams"
+description: Add a Comment model associated with Post. Nested routes. Submit comments via Turbo Streams — new comments appear inline without a page reload.
+type: tutorial
+sidebar:
+  order: 5
+---
+
+import { Aside, Steps, FileTree } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+You'll add a `Comment` model, nest its route under `Post`, and wire up a Turbo Stream so new comments slot into the show page the instant they're saved — no reload, no scroll jump.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to declare a two-sided association with `hasMany` and `belongsTo`
+- How to nest resources with the `callback=` syntax
+- What a Turbo Stream is and how it differs from a Turbo Frame
+- How `include=` avoids the N+1 query problem
+
+Estimated time: 35 minutes.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  This builds on Part 4. You already have a `Post` model with validations, a full seven-action `Posts` controller that renders the form partial on invalid submit, `_form.cfm` wrapped in a `<turbo-frame>`, and Turbo loaded via CDN in the layout.
+</Aside>
+
+## Where we left off
+
+Part 4 left you with inline-rendered validation errors via Turbo Frames. The schema is `posts(id, title, body, status, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt)`; `status` is enum-constrained; the layout pulls in Turbo from jsDelivr.

+
+## What you're adding
+
+A `Comment` model with three fields — `postId`, `author`, `body` — plus timestamps. Each comment belongs to one post; each post has many comments. Deleting a post cascades to its comments.
+
+On the post show page, a form at the bottom posts to a nested route, `/posts/:postKey/comments`. When the server responds, it doesn't return a full page or even a Turbo Frame — it returns a `<turbo-stream>` element that tells Turbo to append a new `<article>` into the existing `<section id="comments">`. The rest of the page doesn't move.
+
+## Hand-write the Comment model
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/models/Comment.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Model" {
+       function config() {
+           belongsTo(name="post");
+           validatesPresenceOf("author,body");
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`belongsTo(name="post")` declares the reverse side of the association. Wheels infers the foreign key column from the association name — `post` means `postId`. Because `belongsTo` is being called with a named option (`name`), all arguments have to be named; Wheels disallows mixing positional and named arguments in the same call.
+
+## Add the hasMany on Post
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/models/Post.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Model" {
+       function config() {
+           enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
+           hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
+           validatesPresenceOf("title,body");
+           validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120);
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`hasMany(name="comments")` gives you two things for free on any `Post` instance:
+
+- `post.comments()` — returns a query of that post's comments.
+- `post.createComment(attrs)` — builds a new `Comment`, sets `postId` from the parent, calls `.save()`, and returns the (saved or error-laden) comment.
+
+`dependent="delete"` means that when you call `.delete()` on a post, Wheels issues a `DELETE FROM comments WHERE postId = ?` first. Without it, deleting a post with comments would either fail the foreign-key constraint or leave orphans, depending on the database.
+
+## Write the migration
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/migrator/migrations/20260419130000_create_comments_table.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Create comments table" {
+       function up() {
+           transaction {
+               try {
+                   t = createTable(name="comments");
+                   t.integer(columnNames="postId", allowNull=false);
+                   t.string(columnNames="author", default="", allowNull=false, limit=80);
+                   t.text(columnNames="body", allowNull=false);
+                   t.timestamps();
+                   t.create();
+               } catch (any e) {
+                   local.exception = e;
+               }
+               if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
+                   transaction action="rollback";
+                   Throw(errorCode="1", detail=local.exception.detail, message=local.exception.message, type="any");
+               } else {
+                   transaction action="commit";
+               }
+           }
+       }
+       function down() {
+           transaction {
+               dropTable("comments");
+               transaction action="commit";
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Run it:
+
+   ```bash title="your shell"
+   wheels migrate latest
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+In real work you'd generate this with `wheels g migration createCommentsTable` and get a fresh timestamp automatically. The hardcoded `20260419130000` is fine for the tutorial — just pick a value later than your posts migration so the order is stable.
+
+## Nested routes
+
+The comment form will POST to `/posts/:postKey/comments`. Wheels builds that URL when you nest the `comments` resource inside `posts`.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `config/routes.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   mapper()
+       .resources(name="posts", binding=true, callback=function(map) {
+           map.resources(name="comments", only="create");
+       })
+       .get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="main##hello")
+       .wildcard()
+       .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Two things to notice:
+
+- The nested resource lives inside `callback=function(map) { ... }`. The `map` parameter is the mapper Wheels passes in; call `map.resources(...)` on it, not the outer `mapper()`. Rails-style inline blocks like `.resources("posts", function(r) { r.resources(...) })` don't work in Wheels — you need the explicit `callback=` named argument.
+- `only="create"` trims the nested resource down to a single route: `POST /posts/:postKey/comments → comments##create`. We don't need a comments index, a show page, or an edit form — comments live on the post's show page.
+
+The generated route's named helper is `postComments` (`urlFor(route="postComments", postKey=5)` → `/posts/5/comments`). That's the name you'll use in the form.
+
+## The Comments controller
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/controllers/Comments.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function create() {
+           post = model("Post").findByKey(params.postKey);
+           comment = post.createComment(params.comment);
+           if (comment.hasErrors()) {
+               renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, comment=comment, layout=false);
+           } else {
+               renderPartial(partial="comment", comment=comment, layout=false);
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`params.postKey` comes from the nested route — it's whatever `:postKey` matched in the URL. `post.createComment(params.comment)` is the association setter; it copies the submitted attributes into a new `Comment`, stamps `postId` with `post.id`, and saves.
+
+On success, we render the `comment` partial — which, you'll see next, wraps its output in a `<turbo-stream>` element. On validation failure, we render the comment form partial with its errors, same pattern as Part 4's post form.
+
+## The form partial
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/views/comments/_form.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/comments/_form.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="post" default="">
+   <cfparam name="comment" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <turbo-frame id="new_comment">
+       #errorMessagesFor("comment")#
+       #startFormTag(route="postComments", postKey=post.id)#
+           <label>Your name<br>
+               <input type="text" name="comment[author]">
+           </label>
+           <label>Your comment<br>
+               <textarea name="comment[body]"></textarea>
+           </label>
+           <button type="submit">Post comment</button>
+       #endFormTag()#
+   </turbo-frame>
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+The form lives inside a `<turbo-frame id="new_comment">`. If the comment fails validation, the controller re-renders this partial and Turbo swaps the frame in place — same mechanics as Part 4.
+
+`startFormTag(route="postComments", postKey=post.id)` produces `<form action="/posts/5/comments" method="post">`. The `postKey` argument satisfies the `:postKey` placeholder from the nested route.
+
+The input names use the bracket form `comment[author]` and `comment[body]`. Wheels gathers bracket-named fields into a struct, so `params.comment` arrives in the controller as `{author: "...", body: "..."}` — ready to pass straight to `post.createComment()`.
+
+## The comment partial as a Turbo Stream
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/views/comments/_comment.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/comments/_comment.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="comment" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <turbo-stream action="append" target="comments">
+       <template>
+           <article class="comment">
+               <strong>#comment.author#</strong>
+               <p>#comment.body#</p>
+           </article>
+       </template>
+   </turbo-stream>
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+A Turbo Stream is a one-shot instruction from the server: "do this action, on this target, with this content." The attributes spell it out — `action="append"`, `target="comments"` — and the `<template>` inside holds the HTML to insert.
+
+When Turbo receives the response, it scans for `<turbo-stream>` elements, finds the element on the current page whose `id` matches the `target` attribute, and performs the named action. Here: find `<section id="comments">`, append the `<article>` from the template to it. Other valid actions include `prepend`, `replace`, `update`, and `remove` — pick whichever matches the DOM change you want.
+
+A Frame (Part 4) replaces one specific region with a new version of itself. A Stream can target any element on the page, and a single response can carry multiple `<turbo-stream>` elements — append one, remove another, replace a third. For adding a comment to a list, `append` is the right tool.
+
+## Wire up the post show view
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/views/posts/show.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/posts/show.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="post" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <h1>#post.title#</h1>
+   <p>#post.body#</p>
+   <p>status: #post.status#</p>
+   <p>
+       #linkTo(route="editPost", key=post.id, text="Edit")# ·
+       #buttonTo(route="post", key=post.id, text="Delete", method="delete")# ·
+       #linkTo(route="posts", text="← all posts")#
+   </p>
+
+   <section id="comments">
+       <h2>Comments</h2>
+       <cfset comments = post.comments()>
+       <cfloop query="comments">
+           <article class="comment">
+               <strong>#comments.author#</strong>
+               <p>#comments.body#</p>
+           </article>
+       </cfloop>
+   </section>
+
+   #includePartial(partial="comments/form", post=post)#
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`<section id="comments">` is the landing zone for the stream — its `id` must match the Turbo Stream's `target`. On first page load, the loop over `post.comments()` fills the section with the comments that already exist. Each subsequent submit appends one more `<article>` via the stream.
+
+`post.comments()` is the association method from `hasMany`. It returns a query, which is why the loop uses `query="comments"` and accesses columns as `comments.author` rather than `comment.author`.
+
+`includePartial(partial="comments/form", post=post)` renders `app/views/comments/_form.cfm` below the list. The `comments/` prefix tells Wheels to look in the comments view folder; without it, it would look in `posts/`.
+
+## Fix the index to avoid N+1
+
+The post index doesn't call `post.comments()` today, but picture what happens if it did — say, to show a comment count next to each title. With ten posts, the page would run one query for the posts list, then ten more queries (one per post) to fetch each post's comments. That's the N+1 problem.
+
+The fix is `include=`, which tells the finder to eager-load the association in a single JOIN-backed query.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Update the `index` action in `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   function index() {
+       posts = model("Post").published().findAll(include="comments", order="publishedAt DESC");
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+With `include="comments"`, Wheels issues one query that joins posts and comments. Calling `posts.comments()` (or any other access path through the association) doesn't hit the database again — the data is already in memory. Add `include=` whenever a view iterates over a collection and touches an association on each row.
+
+## Smoke test
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Three things to verify in the browser:
+
+1. `/posts/1` renders the post, an empty `<section id="comments">`, and the comment form below it.
+2. Filling in the comment form and clicking "Post comment" causes a new comment `<article>` to appear inside the comments section. The URL doesn't change, the rest of the page doesn't flicker, and the form inputs clear.
+3. Clicking Delete on the post removes both the post and its comments — no stale `comments.postId` rows left behind.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Full page reload on submit instead of inline append** — Turbo isn't seeing a valid stream response. Open DevTools, submit the form, and inspect the network response body. It must be wrapped in a `<turbo-stream action="append" target="comments">` element, with a `<template>` inside. Also confirm the controller renders the partial with `layout=false` — a full HTML page with the stream buried inside it won't trigger stream handling.
+
+**`Wheels.RouteNotFound` for route `postComments`** — the nested callback isn't generating the route. Re-check `config/routes.cfm`: the call is `.resources(name="posts", callback=function(map) { map.resources(name="comments", only="create"); })`. Inside the callback, the parameter name is `map`, and you call `map.resources(...)` on it — not `mapper().resources(...)` and not `r.resources(...)`.
+
+**The comments section shows nothing even though comments exist** — check the loop. It should be `<cfloop query="comments">` with column access via `comments.author` and `comments.body` (the query variable's name), not `comment.author`. Model finders return queries, not arrays.
+
+## What's next
+
+In Part 6 you'll add a `User` model with signup and login. You'll build authentication by hand first — sessions, password hashing, a `beforeAction` filter — so you understand what's actually happening at each step, then swap in the built-in `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` to see how much of that code Wheels ships out of the box.
+
+The `hasMany` / `belongsTo` pattern you just wired up — plus `dependent="delete"` and `include="comments"` — is covered in full at [Associations](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/associations/). For dynamic queries beyond raw `where=` strings, see [Query Builder and Scopes](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/query-builder-and-scopes/).

+
+You'll add signup, login, and logout to the blog — first by hand, so you can see every moving part, then by swapping in the built-in `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` to see how much of that code the framework already ships.
+
+**You'll learn:**

+- Session-based login via the `session` scope
+- A private `authenticate` filter that protects sensitive actions
+- Wheels' built-in `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` — and when to prefer it

+  This is two tutorials in one. Part 6a hand-rolls session auth so you understand every moving part. Part 6b replaces that code with `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` — same behavior, a lot less code.

+
+## Where we left off
+
+Part 5 left you with posts and comments. The schema has `posts(id, title, body, status, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt)` and `comments(id, postId, author, body, createdAt, updatedAt)`. Turbo Frames inline the post form errors; Turbo Streams append new comments without a reload.

+
+## Why two versions
+
+The first version (6a) hand-rolls session auth. You'll add a `User` model with its own password-hashing callback, write a `Sessions` controller that reads and writes `session.userId` directly, and protect the `Posts` controller with a filter you can read top-to-bottom in ten lines. Nothing magical. When something breaks, you know where to look.
+
+The second version (6b) replaces the session-scope mechanics with `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` — a component that encapsulates "store a principal struct at a configured session key, expose success/failure results, handle login/logout." Using it drops about 60% of the controller code and gives you a pluggable seam: swap the session strategy for a JWT strategy later without touching controllers. Building both gives you intuition for when a bespoke flow is warranted (a small app that only does session auth) and when the built-in pays for itself (anything that will grow API tokens, JWTs, or SSO).
+
+---
+
+## Part 6a: Roll Your Own
+
+### Add a User model
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/models/User.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Model" {
+       function config() {
+           validatesPresenceOf("email");
+           validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
+           beforeValidation("normalizeEmail");
+           beforeSave("hashPassword");
+       }
+
+       private function normalizeEmail() {
+           if (StructKeyExists(this, "email")) {
+               this.email = Trim(LCase(this.email));
+           }
+       }
+
+       private function hashPassword() {
+           if (StructKeyExists(this, "password") && Len(this.password)) {
+               if (!StructKeyExists(this, "passwordSalt") || !Len(this.passwordSalt ?: "")) {
+                   this.passwordSalt = generateSecretKey("AES");
+               }
+               this.passwordHash = Hash(this.password & this.passwordSalt, "SHA-256");
+               StructDelete(this, "password");
+           }
+       }
+
+       public boolean function authenticate(required string password) {
+           if (!Len(this.passwordHash ?: "") || !Len(this.passwordSalt ?: "")) {
+               return false;
+           }
+           var candidate = Hash(arguments.password & this.passwordSalt, "SHA-256");
+           return (candidate == this.passwordHash);
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Four pieces to notice:
+
+- `beforeValidation("normalizeEmail")` runs before the validation pass, so the uniqueness check sees a trimmed, lowercased email. Without the normalize step, "Alice@example.com" and "alice@example.com" would look like different users to the database.
+- `beforeSave("hashPassword")` runs before every save. It only does anything when `this.password` is set — that is, when the caller just assigned a new password. It generates a per-user salt if one isn't already stored, hashes `password + salt` with SHA-256, stashes the result in `this.passwordHash`, and scrubs `this.password` so the plaintext never reaches the database.
+- `Hash(input, "SHA-256")` returns uppercase hex — 64 characters. That's why the migration below reserves 64 chars for `passwordHash`.
+- `authenticate(password)` re-hashes the candidate password with the stored salt and compares. Equal means the user typed the right password.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  SHA-256 with a per-user salt is **educational, not production-grade**. For a real app, use bcrypt — either via a CFX tag, a Java bcrypt library added to `box.json`, or the forthcoming `wheels-security` package. The mechanism (salt, hash, compare) stays the same; only the hash function changes. Bcrypt is slow by design, which is exactly what you want for passwords — it makes brute-forcing expensive. SHA-256 is fast, which makes it the wrong choice here if you have any alternative.
+</Aside>
+
+### Migrate the users table
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/migrator/migrations/20260419140000_create_users_table.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Create users table" {
+       function up() {
+           transaction {
+               try {
+                   t = createTable(name="users");
+                   t.string(columnNames="email", allowNull=false, limit=255);
+                   t.string(columnNames="passwordHash", allowNull=false, limit=64);
+                   t.string(columnNames="passwordSalt", allowNull=false, limit=48);
+                   t.timestamps();
+                   t.create();
+               } catch (any e) {
+                   local.exception = e;
+               }
+               if (StructKeyExists(local, "exception")) {
+                   transaction action="rollback";
+                   Throw(errorCode="1", detail=local.exception.detail, message=local.exception.message, type="any");
+               } else {
+                   transaction action="commit";
+               }
+           }
+       }
+
+       function down() {
+           transaction {
+               dropTable("users");
+               transaction action="commit";
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`passwordHash` is 64 chars because that's the width of a SHA-256 hex digest. `passwordSalt` is ~44 chars because `generateSecretKey("AES")` returns a base64-encoded AES key — 48 gives a little headroom. `timestamps()` creates both `createdAt` and `updatedAt` columns.
+
+### Signup — the Users controller
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/controllers/Users.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function new() {
+           user = model("User").new();
+       }
+
+       function create() {
+           user = model("User").new(params.user);
+           if (user.save()) {
+               session.userId = user.id;
+               redirectTo(route="posts", success="Welcome! You're signed up and logged in.");
+           } else {
+               renderView(action="new");
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`new` renders an empty signup form. `create` handles the POST: `params.user` is the struct gathered from the form's bracketed inputs (`user[email]`, `user[password]`). If validation passes and the save succeeds, we set `session.userId` — the user is now logged in — and redirect with a flash success message. If the save fails (missing email, duplicate email), we re-render the `new` view, which will display the validation errors.
+
+### Login and logout — the Sessions controller
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/controllers/Sessions.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function new() {
+       }
+
+       function create() {
+           user = model("User").findOne(where="email = :email", values={email: LCase(Trim(params.email ?: ""))});
+           if (IsObject(user) && user.authenticate(params.password ?: "")) {
+               session.userId = user.id;
+               redirectTo(route="posts", success="Welcome back.");
+           } else {
+               flashInsert(error="Invalid email or password");
+               redirectTo(route="login");
+           }
+       }
+
+       function delete() {
+           StructDelete(session, "userId");
+           redirectTo(route="login", success="Logged out.");
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Three actions, three responsibilities:
+
+- `new` renders the login form. No setup needed; the view uses no dynamic data.
+- `create` is the login POST. It normalizes the submitted email the same way the model does on save, looks up the user via a parameterized finder (`:email` placeholder plus `values` struct — this is injection-safe; never interpolate user input into a `where` string), and calls `user.authenticate(password)`. Success sets `session.userId` and redirects; failure flashes an error and sends the browser back to the login form.
+- `delete` is the logout action. It clears `session.userId` and redirects.
+
+### Protect the Posts controller
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function config() {
+           filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+       }
+
+       function index() {
+           posts = model("Post").published().findAll(include="comments", order="publishedAt DESC");
+       }
+
+       function show() {
+           post = params.post;
+       }
+
+       function new() {
+           post = model("Post").new();
+       }
+
+       function create() {
+           post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+           post.userId = session.userId;
+           if (post.save()) {
+               redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+           } else {
+               renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false);
+           }
+       }
+
+       function edit() {
+           post = params.post;
+           ownershipCheck(post);
+       }
+
+       function update() {
+           post = params.post;
+           ownershipCheck(post);
+           if (post.update(params.post)) {
+               redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+           } else {
+               renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false);
+           }
+       }
+
+       function delete() {
+           post = params.post;
+           ownershipCheck(post);
+           post.delete();
+           redirectTo(route="posts");
+       }
+
+       private function authenticate() {
+           if (!StructKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
+               flashInsert(error="Please log in first");
+               redirectTo(route="login");
+           }
+       }
+
+       private function ownershipCheck(required any post) {
+           if (arguments.post.userId != (session.userId ?: 0)) {
+               redirectTo(route="posts");
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`config()` runs once when the controller is instantiated. `filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show")` says: "run the `authenticate` method before every action, except `index` and `show`." So anyone can browse the blog, but only logged-in users can create, edit, or delete posts.
+
+The filter is `private`. This is critical: **public filter methods become routable actions**, which means Wheels would happily respond to `/posts/authenticate` and run the filter body as an action. Private filters are invisible to the router.
+
+`ownershipCheck` is called explicitly at the top of `edit`, `update`, and `delete`. It's not a filter because filters run on every matching action uniformly — ownership checks need the loaded post, which only the specific action has. A helper function keeps the three call sites from diverging.
+
+### Add userId to posts
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/migrator/migrations/20260419150000_add_user_to_posts.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="wheels.migrator.Migration" hint="Add userId to posts" {
+       function up() {
+           addColumn(table="posts", columnType="integer", columnName="userId");
+       }
+
+       function down() {
+           removeColumn(table="posts", columnName="userId");
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`addColumn` generates the right `ALTER TABLE` for whatever database you're on — no need to hand-write DDL.
+
+### Wire up the Post ↔ User association
+
+The migration adds the `userId` column, but the models don't yet know about each other. Add the association so `post.user()` and `user.posts()` work, and so `User.delete` cascades to that user's posts.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Update `app/models/Post.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Model" {
+       function config() {
+           enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived");
+           hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
+           belongsTo(name="user");
+           validatesPresenceOf("title,body");
+           validatesLengthOf(property="title", maximum=120);
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Update `app/models/User.cfc` to declare the reverse:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Model" {
+       function config() {
+           hasMany(name="posts", dependent="delete");
+           validatesPresenceOf("email");
+           validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
+           beforeValidation("normalizeEmail");
+           beforeSave("hashPassword");
+       }
+
+       private function normalizeEmail() {
+           if (StructKeyExists(this, "email")) {
+               this.email = Trim(LCase(this.email));
+           }
+       }
+
+       private function hashPassword() {
+           if (StructKeyExists(this, "password") && Len(this.password)) {
+               if (!StructKeyExists(this, "passwordSalt") || !Len(this.passwordSalt ?: "")) {
+                   this.passwordSalt = generateSecretKey("AES");
+               }
+               this.passwordHash = Hash(this.password & this.passwordSalt, "SHA-256");
+               StructDelete(this, "password");
+           }
+       }
+
+       public boolean function authenticate(required string password) {
+           if (!Len(this.passwordHash ?: "") || !Len(this.passwordSalt ?: "")) {
+               return false;
+           }
+           var candidate = Hash(arguments.password & this.passwordSalt, "SHA-256");
+           return (candidate == this.passwordHash);
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+With the association in place, `post.user()` returns the author, `user.posts()` returns their posts, and deleting a user drops their posts transparently.
+
+### Signup, login, and logout routes
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `config/routes.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   mapper()
+       .resources(name="posts", binding=true, callback=function(map) {
+           map.resources(name="comments", only="create");
+       })
+       .get(name="signup", pattern="/signup", to="users##new")
+       .post(name="register", pattern="/signup", to="users##create")
+       .get(name="login", pattern="/login", to="sessions##new")
+       .post(name="authenticate", pattern="/login", to="sessions##create")
+       .delete(name="logout", pattern="/logout", to="sessions##delete")
+       .get(name="hello", pattern="/hello", to="main##hello")
+       .wildcard()
+       .root(to="posts##index", method="get")
+   .end();
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Five new routes: two for signup (GET + POST both at `/signup`), two for login (GET + POST at `/login`), one for logout (DELETE at `/logout`). Each gets a named helper (`signup`, `register`, `login`, `authenticate`, `logout`) — we'll reference those names from views via `linkTo` and `startFormTag`.
+
+### Signup and login views
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `app/views/users/new.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/users/new.cfm"
+   <cfparam name="user" default="">
+   <cfoutput>
+   <h1>Sign up</h1>
+   #errorMessagesFor("user")#
+   #startFormTag(route="register")#
+       <label>Email<br>
+           <input type="email" name="user[email]">
+       </label>
+       <label>Password<br>
+           <input type="password" name="user[password]">
+       </label>
+       <button type="submit">Sign up</button>
+   #endFormTag()#
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+2. Create `app/views/sessions/new.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm title="app/views/sessions/new.cfm"
+   <cfoutput>
+   <h1>Log in</h1>
+   #startFormTag(route="authenticate")#
+       <label>Email<br>
+           <input type="email" name="email">
+       </label>
+       <label>Password<br>
+           <input type="password" name="password">
+       </label>
+       <button type="submit">Log in</button>
+   #endFormTag()#
+   <p>New here? #linkTo(route="signup", text="Sign up")#.</p>
+   </cfoutput>
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+The signup form uses bracket-named inputs (`user[email]`) so Wheels gathers them into a `params.user` struct. The login form uses flat names (`email`, `password`) because the controller reads them as `params.email` and `params.password` directly — there's no model involved in login, just a lookup.
+
+### Test 6a manually
+
+Apply the migrations:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels migrate latest
+```
+
+Then walk through the flow in the browser:
+
+1. Visit `/signup`, create an account with any email and password. You're redirected to `/posts` and logged in.
+2. Click "New post" — it works. The newly-created post has `post.userId` set from `session.userId`.
+3. Visit `/logout` (or submit a logout form) and then try `/posts/new` — you're redirected to `/login`.
+4. Log back in. Try editing a post that belongs to a different user — the ownership check redirects you back to the index.
+
+That's the hand-rolled version. Thirty-ish lines of logic total, no hidden machinery. Now let's see what the framework gives you for free.
+
+---
+
+## Part 6b: The Built-in Way
+
+The hand-rolled version taught you the mental model. Wheels ships `wheels.auth.SessionStrategy` — a component that encapsulates the session-scope mechanics behind a stable interface. Using it drops the direct `session.userId` reads and writes from your controllers, and it gives you a clean seam for adding a second strategy later (a JWT token in an `Authorization` header, say, or an API-key lookup against a database table).
+
+The design is a registry: an `Authenticator` holds a list of named strategies. On each request, `authenticator.authenticate(request)` tries each strategy in registration order and returns the first success. Your controllers call that one method and don't care which strategy did the work.
+
+### Register the authenticator
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `config/services.cfm`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   var di = injector();
+
+   di.map("authenticator").to("wheels.auth.Authenticator").asSingleton();
+
+   di.map("sessionStrategy").to("wheels.auth.SessionStrategy").asSingleton();
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`config/services.cfm` is loaded once at app init. `injector()` returns the DI container; `.map("name").to("component.path").asSingleton()` registers a binding — one instance per app lifetime, resolved on demand. Any controller or view can ask for `service("authenticator")` and get the same instance back every time.
+
+Next, wire the session strategy into the authenticator so `authenticate(request)` has something to try. The cleanest place is wherever your app's init hook runs. If your app has a `config/app.cfm` (or equivalent on-init block), add:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+if (StructKeyExists(application, "wheelsdi") && application.wheelsdi.containsInstance("authenticator")) {
+    var auth = application.wo.service("authenticator");
+    var sessionStrategy = application.wo.service("sessionStrategy");
+    if (!auth.hasStrategy("session")) {
+        auth.registerStrategy(name="session", strategy=sessionStrategy);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+On a cold reload this registers the strategy exactly once. The `hasStrategy` check keeps a second reload from stacking duplicates.
+
+### Rewrite the Sessions controller
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/controllers/Sessions.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function new() {
+       }
+
+       function create() {
+           user = model("User").findOne(where="email = :email", values={email: LCase(Trim(params.email ?: ""))});
+           if (IsObject(user) && user.authenticate(params.password ?: "")) {
+               var sessionStrategy = application.wo.service("sessionStrategy");
+               sessionStrategy.login(principal={id: user.id, email: user.email});
+               redirectTo(route="posts", success="Welcome back.");
+           } else {
+               flashInsert(error="Invalid email or password");
+               redirectTo(route="login");
+           }
+       }
+
+       function delete() {
+           var sessionStrategy = application.wo.service("sessionStrategy");
+           sessionStrategy.logout();
+           redirectTo(route="login", success="Logged out.");
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Same public behavior. Under the hood, `sessionStrategy.login({id, email})` stores a principal struct at the configured session key (default: `session.wheels.auth`). `logout()` clears it. Your controller no longer talks to the `session` scope directly — which means a future swap to JWT touches the strategy registration, not the controllers.
+
+The principal is any struct you pick. `{id, email}` is a reasonable baseline; a larger app might store `{id, email, roles, displayName}`. The strategy doesn't care about the shape — it round-trips whatever you hand it.
+
+### Rewrite the Users controller to match
+
+6a's `Users.create` set `session.userId = user.id` directly after signup. 6b needs to go through the same strategy as the Sessions controller — otherwise newly signed-up users aren't recognized by the authenticator on the next request, and every protected page redirects them to `/login`.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/controllers/Users.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function new() {
+           user = model("User").new();
+       }
+
+       function create() {
+           user = model("User").new(params.user);
+           if (user.save()) {
+               var sessionStrategy = application.wo.service("sessionStrategy");
+               sessionStrategy.login(principal={id: user.id, email: user.email});
+               redirectTo(route="posts", success="Welcome! You're signed up and logged in.");
+           } else {
+               renderView(action="new");
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+One change from 6a: the post-save `session.userId = user.id;` line is replaced with a `sessionStrategy.login({id, email})` call. Everything else is identical.
+
+### Rewrite the Posts filter
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Replace `app/controllers/Posts.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="Controller" {
+       function config() {
+           filters(through="authenticate", except="index,show");
+       }
+
+       function index() {
+           posts = model("Post").published().findAll(include="comments", order="publishedAt DESC");
+       }
+
+       function show() {
+           post = params.post;
+       }
+
+       function new() {
+           post = model("Post").new();
+       }
+
+       function create() {
+           post = model("Post").new(params.post);
+           post.userId = $currentUserId();
+           if (post.save()) {
+               redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+           } else {
+               renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false);
+           }
+       }
+
+       function edit() {
+           post = params.post;
+           ownershipCheck(post);
+       }
+
+       function update() {
+           post = params.post;
+           ownershipCheck(post);
+           if (post.update(params.post)) {
+               redirectTo(route="post", key=post.id);
+           } else {
+               renderPartial(partial="form", post=post, layout=false);
+           }
+       }
+
+       function delete() {
+           post = params.post;
+           ownershipCheck(post);
+           post.delete();
+           redirectTo(route="posts");
+       }
+
+       private function authenticate() {
+           var result = application.wo.service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+           if (!result.success) {
+               flashInsert(error="Please log in first");
+               redirectTo(route="login");
+           }
+       }
+
+       private function ownershipCheck(required any post) {
+           if (arguments.post.userId != $currentUserId()) {
+               redirectTo(route="posts");
+           }
+       }
+
+       private function $currentUserId() {
+           var result = application.wo.service("authenticator").authenticate(request);
+           return result.success ? (result.principal.id ?: 0) : 0;
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+The `authenticate` filter now calls `service("authenticator").authenticate(request)`. That method walks the registered strategies in order (just `session` for now) and returns a result struct — `{success: true, principal: {...}}` on success, `{success: false}` otherwise. The filter only cares about `result.success`.
+
+`$currentUserId()` centralizes the "who am I" lookup. If you later add a JWT strategy, the helper keeps working without changes — `result.principal.id` is whatever the winning strategy decided to put there. The `$` prefix is a Wheels convention that marks the method as internal to avoid colliding with framework helpers.
+
+### Compare
+
+| Piece | 6a (hand-rolled) | 6b (built-in) |
+|-------|------------------|---------------|
+| Sessions controller | 18 lines, reads/writes `session.userId` directly | 14 lines, goes through `sessionStrategy` |
+| Posts `authenticate` filter | 4 lines, checks `session.userId` | 5 lines, asks the authenticator |
+| Ownership check | reads `session.userId` inline | reads `$currentUserId()` |
+| Adding JWT/API-token auth later | rewrite `authenticate`, `create`, `delete`, ownership check | register one more strategy in `config/services.cfm` |
+
+The pure line count isn't what matters. Look at the last row: 6b absorbs the next auth mechanism for free. That's the win. For a small app that only does session auth, 6a is fine — maybe even preferable, because every line is right there on the page. But the instant someone says "we need mobile API access with bearer tokens," 6b pays for itself.
+
+## Smoke test
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Whether you stopped at 6a or continued to 6b, the user-facing behavior should be identical. Four things to verify in the browser:
+
+1. Signing up redirects you to `/posts`, logged in. The "New post" link works.
+2. Logging out clears the session. Visiting `/posts/new` redirects you to `/login`.
+3. Logging in again restores access. The session persists across page navigation.
+4. Trying to edit a post owned by a different user redirects you back to the posts index.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Login works, but every protected page redirects back to login."** The `authenticate` filter function is `public` instead of `private`. Public filter methods become routable actions — Wheels runs them through the action dispatcher and the filter body fires twice, and worse, a request like `/posts/authenticate` actually matches. Change the `function authenticate()` declaration to `private function authenticate()` and reload.
+
+**"The password always mismatches, even for a user I just created."** The `beforeSave` callback isn't firing, or the form is storing plaintext. Open the database and look at the `users` row directly: `passwordHash` should be exactly 64 uppercase hex characters, `passwordSalt` should be populated with a ~44-char base64 string. If either is blank, check that you named the callback correctly in `config()` (`beforeSave("hashPassword")` — case-sensitive) and that the form submits `user[password]`, not just `password`.
+
+**"6b: `authenticator` service not found."** Either `config/services.cfm` didn't load, or the app needs a reload after you added it. Run `wheels reload` and try again. If `application.wo.service("authenticator")` still throws instead of returning an object, double-check the file's contents — the `injector()` call must come first, and the `.to(...)` argument needs to match the component's exact dotted path (`wheels.auth.Authenticator`, not `Authenticator`).
+
+## What's next
+
+Part 7 covers testing and deploying the blog. You'll write your first model spec and controller spec using Wheels' BDD syntax, then add one browser test that drives a real Chromium through the signup flow. The chapter ends with a high-level deployment overview — how Wheels apps go to production and what changes in `config/production/settings.cfm`.
+
+The DI container you used to wire `SessionStrategy` in 6b is a core framework feature. See [The Dependency Injection Container](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/dependency-injection/) for when to reach for it vs plain `new SomeClass()`.

+You'll write one spec of each flavor the framework ships — model, controller, browser — run them, then see how a Wheels app reaches production.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- WheelsTest BDD basics — `describe`, `it`, `expect`

+
+## Where we left off
+
+Part 6 added authentication. The schema is `posts(id, userId, title, body, status, publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt)`, `comments(id, postId, author, body, createdAt, updatedAt)`, and `users(id, email, passwordHash, passwordSalt, createdAt, updatedAt)`. The `Posts` controller has an `authenticate` filter that keeps `create`, `update`, and `delete` behind a login.

+
+## Why test
+
+You've been testing this app by clicking through the browser. That works for a hundred lines of code. It stops working around the time you have three models, five controllers, and a coworker. Automated tests are what let you change code without fear.
+
+Wheels ships a BDD-style test runner called WheelsTest. It's fast — a fresh app's full suite runs in seconds — and it has three shapes you'll use: a model spec for validations and callbacks, a controller spec for request/response behavior, and a browser spec that drives a real Chromium through the rendered HTML. You'll write one of each.
+
+## Anatomy of a WheelsTest spec
+
+Every spec is a CFC that extends `wheels.WheelsTest`. The `run()` method contains `describe(...)` blocks. Inside each `describe`, `it(...)` blocks assert specific behaviors. Assertions are chained off `expect(...)`:
+
+- `expect(x).toBeTrue()` — exact boolean `true`
+- `expect(x).toBeFalse()` — exact boolean `false`
+- `expect(x).toBe(y)` — equality, deep-comparing structs and arrays
+- `expect(x).toBeArray()` / `toBeStruct()` / `toBeQuery()` — type checks
+- `expect(x).toInclude(substring)` / `toHaveKey(name)` / `toHaveLength(n)` — content checks
+
+That's enough vocabulary to cover the first hundred specs you'll write. See [Testing](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/) for the full matcher list.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  A spec CFC must extend `wheels.WheelsTest`, not `wheels.Test`. The latter is the legacy RocketUnit base — it doesn't have `describe`, `it`, or `expect`. If you see "toBeTrue is not a function," that's the cause.
+</Aside>
+
+## Model spec — Post validations
+
+Start with the `Post` model. You added four validation rules in Part 4: `title` is required, `body` is required, `title` caps at 120 chars, `status` is constrained to the enum. A model spec hits each rule in isolation.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+       function run() {
+           describe("Post", () => {
+               it("requires a title", () => {
+                   var post = model("Post").new(body="some body");
+                   expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+                   expect(post.errorsOn("title")).toBeArray();
+               });
+               it("requires a body", () => {
+                   var post = model("Post").new(title="some title");
+                   expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+                   expect(post.errorsOn("body")).toBeArray();
+               });
+               it("rejects titles over 120 characters", () => {
+                   var post = model("Post").new(title=RepeatString("x", 121), body="body");
+                   expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+                   expect(post.errorsOn("title")).toBeArray();
+               });
+               it("accepts valid input", () => {
+                   var post = model("Post").new(title="OK", body="body", status="draft");
+                   expect(post.valid()).toBeTrue();
+               });
+           });
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Each `it` block builds a fresh `Post` object with `.new(...)`, which runs the constructor but never touches the database. Calling `.valid()` triggers the validation pass and returns a boolean. `errorsOn("title")` returns the list of errors attached to the `title` field — truthy when any exist, empty when none.
+
+Four independent cases, four independent assertions. If you later add a `validatesFormatOf` on the title, you add a fifth `it` block; the four existing cases don't change.
+
+## Controller spec — Posts#index
+
+Controller specs verify that a request dispatches to the right action and comes back with the right response. The framework's `TestClient` drives this — a real HTTP client against your test server. The `$testClient()` helper on `WheelsTest` constructs one; `.get(path)` executes the request; chainable assertions like `.assertOk()` check the response.
+
+For Phase 1 of the tutorial, one smoke-test spec is enough: verify that `GET /posts` comes back with a 200. Deeper patterns (asserting rendered content, stubbing the model, exercising redirects) live in the Testing section.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `tests/specs/controllers/PostsControllerSpec.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+       function run() {
+           describe("PostsController", () => {
+               it("loads posts for the index page", () => {
+                   $testClient().get("/posts").assertOk();
+               });
+           });
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+`$testClient().get("/posts")` makes a real HTTP request to your test server — the full pipeline fires: middleware, route match, controller instantiation, `config()`, filter chain, `index()` action, view render. `.assertOk()` asserts a 200 response. Chainable assertions cover redirects, response bodies, headers, cookies, and JSON. See [Controller Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/controller-tests/) for the full API.
+
+## Browser spec — full signup to post to comment
+
+Browser specs drive a real Chromium through the rendered HTML. Behind the scenes, Wheels' `BrowserTest` harness wraps Playwright Java in a fluent DSL — every click, fill, and assertion is one chained method call.
+
+Playwright ships as a set of JARs plus a Chromium binary, ~370MB in total. Install it once:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels browser install
+```
+
+The installer downloads the JARs into `lib/`, Chromium into `~/Library/Caches` (macOS) or `~/.cache` (Linux), and writes a manifest so CI knows what's cached.
+
+<Steps>
+
+1. Create `tests/specs/browser/SignupFlowSpec.cfc`:
+
+   ```cfm {test:compile}
+   component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+       this.browserEngine = "chromium";
+
+       function run() {
+           browserDescribe("Full signup flow", () => {
+               it("signs up, creates a post, adds a comment", () => {
+                   if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+
+                   this.browser
+                       .visitRoute("signup")
+                       .fill("input[name='user[email]']", "alice@example.com")
+                       .fill("input[name='user[password]']", "hunter2")
+                       .click("button[type=submit]")
+                       .assertUrlContains("/posts");
+
+                   this.browser
+                       .visitRoute("posts")
+                       .click("a[href*='/posts/new']")
+                       .fill("##post-title", "My first post")
+                       .fill("##post-body", "Hello Wheels")
+                       .click("button[type=submit]")
+                       .assertSee("My first post");
+
+                   this.browser
+                       .fill("input[name='comment[author]']", "Bob")
+                       .fill("textarea[name='comment[body]']", "Great post")
+                       .click("button[type=submit]")
+                       .assertSee("Great post");
+               });
+           });
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+</Steps>
+
+Four things to notice:
+
+- `browserDescribe` wraps `describe` with a `beforeEach`/`afterEach` pair that creates a fresh Playwright page for every `it`. Without it, one test's navigation state would leak into the next.
+- `##post-title` is CFML escaping a literal `#` inside a string. At runtime the selector is `#post-title` — the CSS id the `textField(objectName="post", property="title")` helper emits (Wheels joins object + property with a dash). Without the double `##`, CFML would try to evaluate `post-title` as an expression and throw.
+- The signup form uses plain `<input name="user[email]">` without an id, so the spec targets it by attribute selector instead. Attribute selectors like `input[name='user[email]']` are robust against future form refactors.
+- The fluent DSL chains: `.visitRoute("signup").fill(...).click(...).assertUrlContains("/posts")` is one statement. Each method returns the browser object, so the chain keeps going until you call a terminal like `.assertSee(...)` or let the statement end.
+- `if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;` keeps the spec green on machines without Playwright installed — fresh CI runners before `wheels browser install`, for example. The flag is set by `beforeAll` when the JARs can't be loaded.
+
+## Run the tests
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels test run
+```
+
+Expected output (format may vary across releases):
+
+```text title="illustrative — exact format varies"
+Running tests in tests/specs...
+  PostSpec: 4 passed
+  PostsControllerSpec: 1 passed
+  SignupFlowSpec: 1 passed
+Total: 6 passed, 0 failed, 0 errors
+```
+
+To run only the browser specs:
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+wheels test run --filter=browser
+```
+
+The `--filter` flag narrows the run to specs whose path contains the argument. Other filters accept `models`, `controllers`, or a full directory path. The exact syntax is still settling; see [CLI Reference](/v4-0-0-snapshot/command-line-tools/) for the current options.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  Run the tests before you push. CI catches what you miss, but local feedback is measured in seconds — CI in minutes. For the models and controllers, the whole suite should run in under five seconds on an M-series Mac.
+</Aside>
+
+## Deployment overview
+
+A Wheels app is a Java web application. You package the app (your code plus `vendor/wheels/` plus your config) and run it on a CFML engine — Lucee or Adobe ColdFusion — on whatever server you choose. Two paths are common in 2026: a Docker container shipped with [Kamal](https://kamal-deploy.org/), or a plain VM provisioned with Ansible, Chef, or Puppet. The tutorial recommends Kamal.
+
+Kamal is the deploy tool extracted from the Rails ecosystem. You describe your app, your servers, and your domain in a `config/deploy.yml`; `kamal setup` provisions the box the first time (installs Docker, pulls your image, wires up a reverse proxy with automatic TLS); `kamal deploy` ships every subsequent change with zero-downtime rolling restarts. Wheels ships a starter `Dockerfile` and a Kamal config template so you can get from "tests pass" to "it's live" in one afternoon. The full walkthrough — image build, secrets, TLS, migrations at boot — lives in [Deployment & Operations](/v4-0-0-snapshot/deployment/).
+
+Whichever path you take, the production checklist is the same: serve HTTPS, set `environment=production` in `config/environment.cfm`, disable the development reload endpoint, point the app at a real database (Postgres or MySQL, not the SQLite file you've been using), set up log rotation, and run migrations automatically on each deploy. Each of those gets a dedicated page in the Deployment section.
+
+## What you built
+
+Quick recap of the feature list:
+
+- `Post` model with `title`, `body`, `status` (enum), `publishedAt`
+- Migrations and seeds
+- Full CRUD scaffold with Basecoat styling and Turbo Drive
+- Validations with inline errors via Turbo Frames
+- Comments via nested resources with Turbo Stream appends
+- User signup, login, and logout — hand-rolled and built-in `SessionStrategy` variants
+- Ownership filter: users edit only their own posts
+- Model spec, controller spec, and one browser spec covering the full flow
+
+You know Wheels now. Not all of it, but enough to build real things. Time to broaden.
+
+## Smoke test
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Three things to verify before moving on:
+
+1. `wheels test run` passes both the model spec and the controller spec.
+2. `wheels browser install` completes without error, and `wheels test run --filter=browser` runs the browser spec green — Chromium launches, the signup-to-post-to-comment flow runs end-to-end.
+3. Click through the running app one more time: sign up, create a post, leave a comment, log out, log back in, try to edit someone else's post and get redirected. Every part of the tutorial still works end-to-end.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Model spec fails with `cannot find Post.cfc`."** The test runner boots a fresh schema from `tests/populate.cfm`, which you haven't set up yet. See [Fixtures & Test Data](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/fixtures-and-test-data/) for the standard `populate.cfm` that mirrors your development schema into the test database.
+
+**"Browser spec hangs for thirty seconds, then times out."** Playwright isn't installed. Run `wheels browser install` — it downloads ~370MB and prints a progress bar. Once it completes, re-run the spec. If it still hangs, check that `this.browserTestSkipped` isn't incorrectly set; the guard clause should short-circuit when the JARs are missing, not when they're present.
+
+**"`expect(...).toBeTrue is not a function`."** The spec CFC extends the wrong base. Use `component extends="wheels.WheelsTest"` — with a capital T in `WheelsTest`. The legacy `wheels.Test` is the RocketUnit base and doesn't have the BDD matchers.

+title: "Tutorial: Build a Blog"
+description: A 7-part narrative tutorial. Build a complete Wheels 4.0 blog with Turbo, Basecoat, and built-in auth. Takes about 3.5 hours.
+type: tutorial
+sidebar:
+  order: 5
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+You'll build a complete blog application. Posts with titles and bodies. Comments under each post. Users who sign up, log in, and can only edit their own content. Forms that validate inline without page reloads. One browser test that clicks through the whole flow.
+
+By the end you've touched every part of Wheels that matters in day-to-day work: models, migrations, seeds, scaffolds, validations, associations, forms, routes, filters, Turbo Frames, Turbo Streams, authentication, and tests.
+
+**You'll learn:** everything in The Basics and most of Digging Deeper. This tutorial is the single best introduction to Wheels 4.0.
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  **Audience:** you know how to program but you're new to Wheels. You don't need to know CFML — the tutorial introduces it as you go.
+
+  **Time:** about 3.5 hours end-to-end. You can pause between parts; each begins with a "Where we left off" recap.
+</Aside>
+
+## What you'll build
+
+A blog for an individual author. The final app supports:
+
+- **Posts** — a title, body, status (draft / published / archived), and publication date
+- **Comments** — readers can comment on published posts without signing up
+- **Users** — authors sign up with email and password, then manage their own posts
+- **Turbo UI** — form errors appear inline, new comments append without page reloads, page transitions have zero flash
+- **Tests** — one model spec, one controller spec, one browser spec clicking through the full flow
+
+## Technology stack
+
+- **Framework:** Wheels 4.0 on Lucee 7 (via the bundled `wheels` CLI)
+- **Database:** SQLite, zero setup. Same engine the tutorial runs against in CI.
+- **Frontend:** Turbo Drive for page transitions, Turbo Frames for inline errors, Turbo Streams for comment updates. All arrive via the `hotwire` package partway through.
+- **Styling:** Basecoat UI on scaffolded forms and views. Arrives via the `basecoat` package.
+- **Auth:** Wheels' built-in `SessionStrategy` for session cookies. Hand-rolled version shown first for understanding, built-in version shown second for shipping.
+- **Tests:** WheelsTest (BDD), plus one Playwright-driven browser spec.

+## How each part works
+
+- **"Where we left off"** — the first section of every part after Part 1. A file tree and schema summary so you can resume without reading the previous part end-to-end.
+- **Numbered steps** — each change to the code is a numbered step in a `<Steps>` block. You'll see the file path, the before state when relevant, and the final content.
+- **Checkpoint** — before moving on, a concrete check you can run (usually `curl` against a URL or `wheels test run`).
+- **Troubleshooting** — three common failure modes with fixes, including the error message you'd see.
+
+## Conventions used throughout
+
+- **SQLite.** All development runs against SQLite in `db/development.sqlite`. Zero setup. Matches the CI testing platform.
+- **Real names.** Code examples use `Post`, `Comment`, `user.email`, `publishedAt` — not `Foo`, `Bar`, or `someField`.
+- **Complete code.** Each block shows the whole function or view, not a fragment. You can always copy a block and have the feature work.
+- **Validated end-to-end.** Every code block in the tutorial is executed by the doc site's verify-docs harness against a real `wheels` CLI. If you see a block here, it compiles and runs.

+title: Welcome to Wheels
+description: A quick orientation to Wheels, CFML, and how these guides are organized.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+A two-minute orientation before you write any code.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What Wheels is, in one paragraph
+- Who these guides are for
+- How to find your way around
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  No prior Wheels experience assumed. Some general programming background helps — you've built a web app in something, probably Rails, Laravel, Django, or Express.
+</Aside>
+
+## What Wheels is
+
+Wheels is a full-stack web framework for CFML. It runs on Lucee (open source) and Adobe ColdFusion (commercial). It gives you an ActiveRecord-style ORM, a request pipeline with middleware, a convention-driven file layout, and a scaffold generator that writes working code from a model name. You spend your time on the interesting parts of your app.
+
+The `wheels` CLI is the only tool you need. It creates apps, runs migrations, generates scaffolds, starts the dev server, runs tests, and ships your code. Under the hood it wraps a Java-based CFML runtime; you rarely think about that.
+
+Wheels has been shipping since 2005. Version 4.0 is the current line. The framework name is "Wheels" — it was renamed from "CFWheels" at v3.0, so don't be confused by old blog posts.
+
+## Who these guides are for
+
+Primary audience: developers new to Wheels. You may also be new to CFML. Both are fine.
+
+You're probably in one of these camps:
+
+- You've built with Rails, Laravel, or Django and want to know what Wheels looks like. Start with [Why Wheels?](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/why-wheels/) for a head-to-head comparison, then follow the tutorial.
+- You inherited a CFML codebase and want to modernize it. Read [Why Wheels?](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/why-wheels/) to see where 4.0 sits relative to older CFML frameworks, then jump to [Upgrading](/v4-0-0-snapshot/upgrading/).
+- You know Wheels 3.x and want to see what changed. The tutorial shows off 4.0-native features (Turbo via Hotwire, built-in auth, query builder, enums, seeds, middleware). After that, [Upgrading to 4.0](/v4-0-0-snapshot/upgrading/) has the migration checklist.
+
+These guides are not for framework contributors (see `CONTRIBUTING.md` in the repo) and not a method-by-method API reference (see [api.wheels.dev](https://api.wheels.dev)).
+
+## How these guides are organized
+
+The structure follows [Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/): four kinds of documentation, each with a different job. Knowing the kind helps you pick the right page.
+
+- **Start Here** (this section) — orientation and the opening tutorial. The fastest way in.
+- **Core Concepts** — explanations. How Wheels thinks. Read these when something feels surprising.
+- **The Basics** — task-oriented how-tos for everyday features: routing, forms, validation, models, associations, migrations.
+- **Digging Deeper** — task-oriented how-tos for the harder stuff: authentication, background jobs, caching, multi-tenancy, packages.
+- **Testing** — everything about writing and running tests, including browser tests.
+- **Deployment & Operations** — getting your app to production and keeping it there.
+- **CLI Reference** — every `wheels` command, what it does, what flags it takes.
+- **Contributing & Project** — how to contribute code, docs, or bug reports.
+- **Upgrading** — migrating between Wheels versions.
+- **Glossary** — every Wheels term defined in one place.
+
+A page's `type:` tag in its frontmatter tells you which kind it is. Reference pages are dry on purpose — tables and lists, no narrative. Tutorials hand-hold. How-tos assume you know what you're trying to do and just need the steps.
+
+## The fastest path in
+
+Three ways to start, in order of time commitment:

+title: Why Wheels?
+description: How Wheels compares to Rails, Laravel, and Django, and when to reach for it.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 2
+---
+
+import { Aside, Tabs, TabItem } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+You're evaluating web frameworks. You've probably used at least one of Rails, Laravel, or Django. This page is an honest comparison — what Wheels shares, where it differs, and when it's the wrong tool.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What CFML actually is (two paragraphs)
+- How Wheels maps to Rails / Laravel / Django concepts
+- When to reach for Wheels and when not to
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  This page assumes you've built a web app in at least one mature framework. If you haven't, skip to [Your First 15 Minutes](/v4-0-0-snapshot/start-here/first-15-minutes/) for a hands-on intro instead.
+</Aside>
+
+## What CFML is
+
+CFML is a server-side language. It's been around since 1995, which makes it older than PHP. The syntax reads like a blend of JavaScript and Ruby: loose typing, structs and arrays as first-class values, closures, lots of built-in functions for web work.
+
+Two runtime engines implement CFML. Lucee is open source, free, and community-maintained; it's what Wheels 4.0 targets by default. Adobe ColdFusion is a commercial product from Adobe. Both run on the JVM. You write CFML, Lucee or ACF compiles it to Java bytecode at request time. You don't install a Ruby / Python / PHP runtime — you install Lucee via the `wheels` CLI, and it brings its own.
+
+One common confusion: "ColdFusion" the language is CFML. "Adobe ColdFusion" is one of two implementations. Wheels does not require Adobe's commercial product.
+
+## Wheels vs Rails
+
+Closest conceptual neighbor. Both descended from the same Rails-era design.
+
+| Concern | Rails | Wheels |
+|---------|-------|--------|
+| Language | Ruby | CFML (runs on JVM) |
+| ORM style | ActiveRecord | ActiveRecord-style (`Model` base class) |
+| Convention | Strong | Strong — same "fat models, thin controllers" shape |
+| CLI | `bin/rails` / `gem install rails` | `wheels` |
+| Scaffold | `rails generate scaffold` | `wheels generate scaffold` |
+| Migrations | `db/migrate/*.rb` | `app/migrator/migrations/*.cfc` |
+| View layer | ERB / Haml / etc. | `.cfm` templates (inline expressions via `#...#`) |
+| Hotwire | Bundled (Turbo Drive / Frames / Streams) | Via `wheels-hotwire` package (opt-in activation) |
+| Testing | Minitest / RSpec | WheelsTest (BDD, `describe`/`it`) |
+| Jobs | Active Job + Sidekiq/etc. | Built-in job queue (`wheels jobs work`) |
+
+If you know Rails, the tutorial will feel familiar in pacing and idioms. The differences that bite most often:
+
+- **Hash-delimited expressions in CFML strings.** `"Hello #user.name#"` interpolates `user.name`. This is different from Ruby's `"Hello #{user.name}"`; the `#` pairs are delimiters, not escape-plus-braces.
+- **Named-argument style matters.** Wheels functions often take positional OR named args, never a mix. `hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete")` — not `hasMany("comments", dependent="delete")`.
+- **No bundler / Gemfile.** The framework lives in `vendor/wheels/`, copied into the app by the CLI. There's a package system (first-party packages activate via copy from `packages/` into `vendor/`), but there's no central package registry or lockfile — intentional.
+
+## Wheels vs Laravel
+
+Laravel is more spiritually aligned than structurally. Both are opinionated, both emphasize developer experience, both have generators and a robust CLI.
+
+| Concern | Laravel | Wheels |
+|---------|---------|--------|
+| ORM | Eloquent (ActiveRecord-ish) | Wheels `Model` (ActiveRecord) |
+| Routing | PHP closures + controllers | CFML script (`mapper()...end()`) |
+| Views | Blade | `.cfm` (inline) or partials |
+| CLI | Artisan | `wheels` |
+| Auth | Sanctum / Fortify / Breeze | Built-in `wheels.auth` (session / JWT / token strategies) |
+| Queues | Horizon + Redis / SQS | Built-in job queue with DB backing |
+| Real-time | Livewire / Broadcasting | Server-Sent Events (native) + Turbo Streams (via package) |
+| Package manager | Composer | No central registry; `packages/` → `vendor/` activation |
+
+The closest comparison point is Laravel's scaffold ethos. `wheels generate scaffold Post title:string body:text` produces the same "everything-you-need-to-see-a-CRUD-interface-running" result as `php artisan make:model Post -a` + `make:controller`. Wheels goes a step further: the scaffolded views use Basecoat UI (when the `basecoat` package is activated) so you get a modern-looking app without writing CSS.
+
+Livewire has no direct Wheels analog. For similar "server-rendered, JavaScript-light interactivity," use [Turbo Frames](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/) from the `hotwire` package.
+
+## Wheels vs Django
+
+Bigger gap. Django is DataMapper (models + views + serializers are separate concerns); Wheels is ActiveRecord (models carry behavior). Django emphasizes explicit over implicit; Wheels emphasizes conventional over configured.
+
+| Concern | Django | Wheels |
+|---------|--------|--------|
+| ORM | DataMapper (Django ORM) | ActiveRecord (Wheels `Model`) |
+| URL routing | `urls.py`, explicit patterns | `routes.cfm`, `resources("posts")` + conventions |
+| Admin | Auto-generated `/admin` | `wheels generate admin ModelName` (scaffolded, not auto) |
+| Migrations | `makemigrations` + `migrate` | `wheels generate migration` + `wheels migrate latest` |
+| Templates | Jinja-like DSL | `.cfm` (inline expressions) |
+| Forms | `forms.py` with Form classes | View helpers (`textField`, `textArea`, etc.) |
+| Auth | `django.contrib.auth` | `wheels.auth` |
+
+The sharpest difference is philosophy. Django expects you to be explicit about URLs, form fields, admin configs. Wheels expects you to follow the conventions and only override when you need to. If you reach for Django because "explicit is better than implicit," Wheels will feel too magical. If you reach for Rails because conventions let you move fast, Wheels is in the same family.
+
+Django's auto-generated admin panel has no Wheels equivalent. `wheels generate admin User` produces a scaffolded admin section you own and customize — more like Rails' `rails_admin` gem than Django's built-in admin.
+
+## When Wheels is the right choice
+
+- **Database-heavy line-of-business apps.** Invoicing, inventory, CMS, internal tools. Wheels' ORM + scaffolds + migrations + admin generator ship these fast.
+- **Teams with existing CFML or Java infrastructure.** You already have Lucee or ACF servers, or you're comfortable on the JVM. Wheels fits the existing stack.
+- **Apps where "scaffold and ship" beats "latest runtime feature."** Wheels is mature and boring in good ways. Monthly releases, clear upgrade paths, no weekly framework-rearchitecture.
+- **Teams migrating from legacy CFML.** The 3.x → 4.0 upgrade guide is well-trodden. If you're on CFWheels 2.x, the path forward is clear.
+
+## When Wheels is the wrong choice
+
+- **GraphQL-first APIs.** Wheels ships a REST-style controller surface. GraphQL works but isn't native; you'll wire it yourself.
+- **Realtime-first apps.** SSE is native, Turbo Streams cover in-page updates, and WebSocket support is available — but if your product is a chat app or collaborative editor, Phoenix / Elixir, Rails + ActionCable, or Django Channels fit better.
+- **Cloud-native serverless.** CFML is JVM-hosted. Cold starts are slow. If you need AWS Lambda-style per-request provisioning, pick a runtime that targets it.
+- **Frontend-heavy SPAs.** If your app is 90% React or Vue talking to an API backend, pick a framework that specializes in API-only. Wheels can do it, but you're leaving most of the framework on the table.

+title: Browser Tests
+description: Playwright-driven UI tests — installation, the fluent DSL, fixture helpers, cross-engine caveats.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 7
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Browser tests drive a real Chromium through Playwright. They click buttons, type into fields, wait for JavaScript to settle, and assert on the page a user would actually see. The base class `wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest` wires Playwright's lifecycle into the standard BDD runner, so specs stay short — a few lines of setup, then the fluent DSL takes over.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to install Playwright and run your first browser spec
+- The `BrowserTest` base class and the `browserDescribe` wrapper
+- The full `BrowserClient` DSL — navigation, interaction, assertions, terminals
+- How to bypass the login form with the `loginAs` fixture
+- Cross-engine caveats (dialogs are Lucee-only)
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know BDD basics. See [Model Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/model-tests/). For non-browser HTTP tests that don't need JavaScript or Turbo, prefer [Controller Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/controller-tests/), [Functional Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/functional-tests/), or [View & Form Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/view-and-form-tests/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Install Playwright
+
+Browser tests require Playwright's Java client plus Chromium. The `wheels browser install` command downloads both (~370MB one-time) and verifies SHA-256 hashes.
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+Then, inside your project:
+
+```bash title="shell"
+wheels browser install
+```
+
+The installer resolves seven JARs from Maven Central (Playwright client, driver, driver-bundle, transitive deps) and caches them under a per-project install directory. Subsequent runs skip the download when hashes match. Pass `--force` to re-download, or `--browser=firefox|webkit` to install a different engine (Chromium is the default).
+
+If Playwright isn't installed when a spec runs, `BrowserTest.beforeAll` catches the missing-JAR error, sets `this.browserTestSkipped = true`, and the suite stays green. That's the safety net for CI cold starts and fresh dev machines — but every `it` in a browser spec still needs to check the flag.
+
+## A minimal browser spec
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/browser/HomeBrowserSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+
+    this.browserEngine = "chromium";
+
+    function run() {
+        browserDescribe("Home page", () => {
+            it("loads the home page", () => {
+                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                this.browser
+                    .visitUrl("http://localhost:8080/")
+                    .assertTitleContains("My App");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Two things to note in every browser spec:
+
+1. **`extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest"`** — not `wheels.WheelsTest`. The browser base class adds the Playwright lifecycle hooks on top of BDD.
+2. **`if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;`** — the first line of every `it`. When Playwright JARs aren't installed, or when the CI gate (`WHEELS_CI=true` without `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE=true`) is active, `beforeAll` sets the flag. Without the guard, the spec would crash on the first `this.browser` call instead of staying green.
+
+## `browserDescribe` vs `describe`
+
+Regular `describe()` works inside a `BrowserTest` subclass — but every `it` inside it would share the same browser state, because `beforeEach`/`afterEach` aren't automatically wired. `browserDescribe()` wraps `describe()` with hooks that create a fresh Playwright `BrowserContext` and `Page` per `it`, then tear them down afterwards. Each test gets its own cookies, localStorage, and navigation history.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/browser/IsolationSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+    function run() {
+        browserDescribe("Isolated per-it state", () => {
+            it("starts with no cookies", () => {
+                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                this.browser.visitUrl("http://localhost:8080/")
+                    .clearCookies()
+                    .assertSee("Sign in");
+            });
+            it("also starts with no cookies", () => {
+                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                // Fresh context; the previous test's state is gone.
+                this.browser.visitUrl("http://localhost:8080/")
+                    .assertSee("Sign in");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`browserDescribe` also registers an `aroundEach` that captures a screenshot and HTML dump to `tests/_output/browser/` when a spec throws. Override `this.browserArtifactPath` to change the directory, or set `this.browserScreenshotOnFailure = false` to disable capture.
+
+## The DSL — navigation
+
+`this.browser` is a `BrowserClient`. Every method that mutates state returns `this`, so calls chain fluently until you hit a terminal (a method that returns a value — `currentUrl()`, `text()`, etc.).
+
+- `visit(path)` — navigate to a path joined to the base URL (`http://localhost:8080` by default, or `WHEELS_BROWSER_TEST_BASE_URL`). Path must start with `/`.
+- `visitUrl(url)` — navigate to an absolute URL. Use for `data:`, `file:`, or cross-origin tests.
+- `visitRoute(route, key, params)` — resolve a named route via `URLFor()` and navigate there. Requires the Wheels app to be booted.
+- `back()` / `forward()` / `refresh()` — drive the browser history.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/browser/NavigationSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+    function run() {
+        browserDescribe("Navigation", () => {
+            it("follows a route and comes back", () => {
+                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                this.browser
+                    .visitRoute(route="posts")
+                    .click("a.post-link")
+                    .back()
+                    .assertUrlContains("/posts");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## The DSL — interaction
+
+- `click(selector)` — click the first matching element.
+- `press(buttonText)` — click the first element containing that visible text. Shorthand for buttons and links by label.
+- `fill(selector, value)` — set an input's value in one shot (fires `change` at the end).
+- `type(selector, value)` — type character-by-character. Use when per-keystroke handlers matter (autosuggest, live validation).
+- `clear(selector)` — empty a field.
+- `select(selector, value)` — select an option by value.
+- `check(selector)` / `uncheck(selector)` — checkboxes and radios.
+- `attach(selector, filePath)` — attach a file to a `<input type="file">`.
+- `dragAndDrop(fromSelector, toSelector)` — drag one element onto another.
+
+## The DSL — keyboard
+
+- `keys(selector, key)` — press a keyboard key against the matched element. Key syntax follows Playwright: `"Enter"`, `"Control+A"`, `"Shift+Home"`.
+- `pressEnter(selector?)` / `pressTab(selector?)` / `pressEscape(selector?)` — shortcuts. Omit the selector to send to the currently focused element.
+
+## The DSL — waiting
+
+Explicit waits beat sleeps. All waits default to 30-second timeouts and accept a custom `seconds` override.
+
+- `waitFor(selector, seconds?)` — wait for an element to become visible.
+- `waitForText(text, seconds?)` — wait for visible text to appear anywhere on the page.
+- `waitForUrl(url, seconds?)` — wait for the page URL to match. Supports Playwright's glob patterns.
+
+## The DSL — scoping
+
+`within(selector, callback)` restricts the selectors inside the callback to descendants of the first element matching `selector`. Useful when the same field selector exists in two places (main form and modal, for example).
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/browser/ScopedSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+    function run() {
+        browserDescribe("Scoped form", () => {
+            it("fills the signin form, not the signup form", () => {
+                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                this.browser
+                    .visitUrl("http://localhost:8080/sign-in")
+                    .within("form##signin", (scoped) => {
+                        scoped.fill("##email", "alice@example.com")
+                              .fill("##password", "correct-horse-battery-staple")
+                              .click("button[type=submit]");
+                    })
+                    .assertUrlContains("/dashboard");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## The DSL — cookies and state
+
+- `setCookie(name, value, url)` — add a cookie to the context. Requires the page to have been navigated to a real HTTP origin (`data:` URLs don't take cookies).
+- `deleteCookie(name)` — remove one cookie.
+- `cookie(name)` — read a cookie; returns a struct with `name`, `value`, `domain`, `path`, `expires`, `httpOnly`, `secure`. Throws `BrowserAssertionFailed` if the cookie doesn't exist.
+- `clearCookies()` — wipe all cookies.
+
+## The DSL — auth fixtures
+
+`loginAs(identifier)` takes a single string (email, username, or whatever your app uses to identify a user) and navigates to `/_browser/login-as?identifier=...`. That route is mounted automatically in test mode and sets `session.userId` and `session.userEmail` server-side — no real login form, no password hashing, no redirect handshake. Use it when the spec's intent is "what does an authenticated user see", not "what does the login form do".
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/browser/AuthenticatedSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+    function run() {
+        browserDescribe("Authenticated dashboard", () => {
+            it("shows the user's posts", () => {
+                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                this.browser
+                    .loginAs("alice@example.com")
+                    .visitRoute(route="posts")
+                    .assertUrlContains("/posts")
+                    .assertSee("alice@example.com");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`logout()` clears cookies and navigates to the fixture home page. For testing the real logout UI (click button, see redirect), use `click()` or `press()` against the live markup instead.
+
+## The DSL — dialogs (Lucee-only)
+
+`acceptDialog`, `dismissDialog`, and `dialogMessage` handle native JavaScript dialogs (`alert`, `confirm`, `prompt`). They use `createDynamicProxy`, which is Lucee-specific — on Adobe CF and BoxLang the methods throw a clear error. Register intent *before* the interaction that triggers the dialog.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/browser/DialogSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+    function run() {
+        browserDescribe("Delete confirmation", () => {
+            it("accepts the native confirm dialog", () => {
+                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                this.browser
+                    .visitRoute(route="post", key=42)
+                    .acceptDialog()
+                    .click("button.delete")
+                    .assertUrlContains("/posts");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`dialogMessage()` is a terminal — it returns the text from the last handled dialog, useful for asserting on `confirm("Really delete?")` copy.
+
+## The DSL — viewport
+
+- `resize(width, height)` — set exact viewport dimensions.
+- `resizeToMobile()` — 375 × 667 (iPhone SE).
+- `resizeToTablet()` — 768 × 1024 (iPad portrait).
+- `resizeToDesktop()` — 1440 × 900.
+
+You can also set `this.browserViewport = "mobile"` on the spec class to start every `it` at mobile size.
+
+## The DSL — script and pause
+
+- `script(js)` — evaluate a JavaScript expression in the page context and return the result. Arrow-function syntax required: `script("() => document.title")`.
+- `pause(milliseconds)` — sleep. Prints a warning to `System.err` so stray pauses don't sneak past review. Set `BROWSER_TEST_PAUSE_WARNING=off` to silence. Use for hand-inspecting state during development, never for synchronizing with the page — use `waitFor`/`waitForText`/`waitForUrl` instead.
+
+## Assertions — text, visibility, presence
+
+- `assertSee(text)` / `assertDontSee(text)` — substring match on the full page HTML.
+- `assertSeeIn(selector, text)` — substring match scoped to one element.
+- `assertVisible(selector)` / `assertMissing(selector)` — visibility check (element exists and is rendered vs. does not exist or is hidden).
+- `assertPresent(selector)` / `assertNotPresent(selector)` — DOM presence check (element exists in DOM regardless of visibility).
+
+## Assertions — URL, title, query
+
+- `assertUrlIs(expected)` — exact match. If `expected` starts with `/`, compares path only (strips protocol + host). Otherwise full URL.
+- `assertUrlContains(substring)` — forgiving substring match.
+- `assertTitleContains(text)` — substring match on `<title>`.
+- `assertQueryStringHas(key, value?)` — key must exist; value is optional.
+- `assertQueryStringMissing(key)` — key must not exist.
+- `assertRouteIs(route, key?, params?)` — compare current path against a named route.
+
+## Assertions — form state
+
+- `assertInputValue(selector, value)` — input's current value.
+- `assertChecked(selector)` — checkbox or radio is checked.
+- `assertHasClass(selector, class)` — element has the given class (case-insensitive list match).
+
+## Terminals
+
+These return a value instead of `this`, so they end the chain.
+
+- `currentUrl()` — full URL of the current page.
+- `title()` — `<title>` contents.
+- `pageSource()` — full HTML of the rendered page.
+- `text(selector)` — `textContent` of the first matching element.
+- `value(selector)` — `inputValue` of an input/textarea/select.
+- `screenshot(path, fullPage?, quality?)` — write a PNG to `path`. Returns `this`, so it also chains — treat it as a side effect.
+- `cookie(name)` — struct form described under "cookies and state".
+
+## Targeting form fields with `data-auto-id`
+
+Wheels form helpers emit two selector hooks on every field — a camelCase `id="postTitle"` for browser URL hashes, and an underscored `data-auto-id="post_title"` for test selectors. The underscored form is stable against rename refactors; use it in browser specs.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/browser/NewPostSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
+    function run() {
+        browserDescribe("Create a post", () => {
+            it("submits the new-post form", () => {
+                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
+                this.browser
+                    .loginAs("alice@example.com")
+                    .visitRoute(route="newPost")
+                    .fill("[data-auto-id=""post_title""]", "My Title")
+                    .fill("[data-auto-id=""post_body""]", "Some body text")
+                    .click("button[type=submit]")
+                    .assertUrlContains("/posts/")
+                    .assertSee("My Title");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+See [View & Form Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/view-and-form-tests/) for the same `data-auto-id` pattern applied to non-browser tests, and [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/) for how the attribute is generated.
+
+## Cross-engine caveats
+
+Most of the DSL is engine-agnostic — Playwright drives a real Chromium regardless of which CFML engine is running your app. The exceptions:
+
+- **Dialogs** — `acceptDialog`, `dismissDialog`, `dialogMessage` use `createDynamicProxy` to register a listener on Playwright's Java-side `Dialog` interface. That API is Lucee-only. On Adobe CF and BoxLang, calls throw `Wheels.DialogSupportMissing`. Wrap dialog-driven specs in an engine check (`if (server.coldfusion.productname != "Lucee") return;`) if you run the suite across engines.
+- **`loginAs`** — relies on the `/_browser/login-as` fixture route, which is mounted automatically in test mode from `vendor/wheels/tests/routes.cfm`. If your app clears or replaces the route table in another spec, `BrowserTest.beforeAll` re-includes the fixture routes so browser specs stay self-contained.
+
+See the cross-engine notes in [`CLAUDE.md`](https://github.com/cfwheels/cfwheels/blob/develop/CLAUDE.md) for the full list of Lucee/Adobe/BoxLang divergences.
+
+## Debugging failing specs
+
+When a spec fails, the `aroundEach` hook captures a screenshot and HTML dump to `tests/_output/browser/<specName>-<timestamp>.{png,html}`. Open the PNG to see the rendered state at the moment of failure. Beyond that:
+
+- `this.browser.pause(5000)` sleeps for five seconds so you can inspect the browser manually — only useful when Playwright launches in headed mode.
+- `this.browser.screenshot("/tmp/midway.png")` captures a snapshot at any point in the chain.
+- `pageSource()`, `text(selector)`, and `currentUrl()` return inspectable strings — dump them to the test output to see what the page looked like.
+- `getPage()`, `getContext()`, and `getLauncher()` drop you down to the raw Playwright objects for anything the DSL doesn't cover.
+
+## CI integration
+
+The CI workflow sets `WHEELS_CI=true`, which `BrowserTest.beforeAll` interprets as an opt-out from running browser specs (they're skipped via `this.browserTestSkipped = true`). To run browser specs in CI, also set `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE=true` and ensure Playwright is installed on the runner. CI caches the Playwright JARs and Chromium via the `browser-manifest.json` hash; first runs pay the download cost once.
+
+Set `WHEELS_BROWSER_TEST_BASE_URL` so `visit("/path")` resolves to the right origin on the CI runner. For local work, the default `http://localhost:8080` matches `lucli server run --port=8080`. See [CI Integration](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/ci-integration/) for the full workflow.
+
+## When to skip browser tests
+
+Browser tests are the slowest layer of the pyramid — every spec boots Chromium, loads the page, and drives real user interactions. Reach for them when the behavior requires JavaScript, Turbo, or real-browser event ordering. For everything else, prefer a faster layer:
+
+- Server-rendered HTML, redirects, status codes → [Controller Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/controller-tests/)
+- Rendered markup without JS → [View & Form Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/view-and-form-tests/)
+- Multi-controller flows without UI assertions → [Functional Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/functional-tests/)
+- Model behavior → [Model Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/model-tests/)

+title: CI Integration
+description: Running Wheels tests in GitHub Actions — cross-engine matrix, reporters, browser gating, soft-fail databases.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 10

+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+The pattern that works for Wheels in CI is the same pattern that works locally — Lucee 7 + SQLite for the fast gate, Docker-driven matrix for the thorough one — wrapped in YAML. The framework's own `.github/workflows/` is the reference implementation: `pr.yml` boots LuCLI on a single runner for the fast path, and `compat-matrix.yml` runs the full engine x database grid on a schedule. This page walks the pieces you'd copy into your own application's workflow: the minimum viable run, the cross-engine matrix, the browser-test gate, soft-fail databases, caching, and the failure modes that eat CI minutes.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- A minimum-viable GitHub Actions workflow for running `wheels test run` in CI
+- Which reporter names the CLI accepts today and how CI consumes the output
+- How to drive the cross-engine matrix via Docker Compose
+- How to opt browser specs in or out with `WHEELS_CI` and `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE`
+- How to mark a flaky database as soft-fail so it can't block a PR
+- Common CI failures and what they actually mean
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how to run tests locally. See [Running Tests Locally](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/running-tests-locally/) for `wheels test run`, `tools/test-local.sh`, and the Docker Compose map of ports and databases.
+</Aside>
+
+## GitHub Actions — minimum viable
+
+The smallest workflow that runs the suite on every pull request: check out the code, install Java 21, install LuCLI, create the SQLite database files, start the server, and run the tests. Everything else on this page is additions to this shape.
+
+```yaml title=".github/workflows/tests.yml"
+name: tests
+on: [pull_request, push]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    env:
+      WHEELS_CI: "true"
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Install Java 21
+        uses: actions/setup-java@v4
+        with:
+          java-version: '21'
+          distribution: 'temurin'
+
+      - name: Install LuCLI
+        run: |
+          curl -sL "https://github.com/cybersonic/LuCLI/releases/download/v0.3.3/lucli-0.3.3-linux" \
+            -o /usr/local/bin/lucli
+          chmod +x /usr/local/bin/lucli
+
+      - name: Create SQLite test databases
+        run: |
+          sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends sqlite3
+          sqlite3 wheelstestdb.db "SELECT 1;"
+          sqlite3 wheelstestdb_tenant_b.db "SELECT 1;"
+
+      - name: Start Lucee and run tests
+        run: bash tools/test-local.sh
+```
+
+Three details to notice:
+
+- **`actions/setup-java@v4` sets `JAVA_HOME` for you.** The LuCLI preflight refuses to start if `JAVA_HOME` is unset, and it is the single most common first-CI failure. The official `setup-java` action exports `JAVA_HOME` into the subsequent steps' environment, so you never have to set it by hand.
+- **`WHEELS_CI=true`** is a signal for the test harness — most visibly, it gates browser specs (covered below). You want it on every CI job.
+- **`tools/test-local.sh`** is the bundled shell script. It boots a LuCLI server, waits for it, warms the app, runs the suite, and prints a pass/fail summary with a non-zero exit code on failure. For most app repos, calling it is simpler than re-implementing the dance inline.
+
+If you want the raw CLI instead of the bash wrapper, the equivalent is `wheels start` followed by `wheels test run --ci`.
+
+## Reporter output for CI
+
+The `wheels test run` command accepts a `--reporter=<name>` flag, but understanding what it does today avoids a surprise: the LuCLI implementation always requests JSON from the test endpoint and then prints a human-readable summary on success or failure details on failure. The flag is parsed but does not currently select between output formats — you get the same output regardless of `--reporter` value.
+
+| Flag | Behaviour today |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--reporter=simple` (default) | Human-readable summary: `N passed (Xs)` on green, plus failure details on red |
+| `--reporter=<anything else>` | Accepted, currently no-op — same human-readable output |
+| `--ci` | Accepted, reserved for CI-specific behaviour — currently a no-op in the output path |
+| `--verbose` / `-v` | Adds the full bundle/suite/spec tree to the output |
+
+For machine-readable results, call the test runner URL directly and post-process the JSON. That is exactly what `tools/ci/run-tests.sh` does in this repo: it `curl`s `/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json`, parses the totals in Python, and emits a JUnit XML file that `actions/upload-artifact` ingests for the GitHub summary.
+
+```bash title="tools/ci/run-tests.sh (excerpt)"
+curl -s -o "$RESULT_FILE" --max-time 600 \
+  "http://localhost:${PORT}/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json"
+
+# Parse totals with Python, then emit JUnit XML
+python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('$RESULT_FILE')); \
+  print(f\"{d['totalPass']} pass, {d['totalFail']} fail, {d['totalError']} error\")"
+```
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  If you want PR annotations on the "Files changed" tab, emit JUnit XML from the JSON results and feed it to `EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action`. The pattern is copy-paste from `.github/workflows/pr.yml` in the Wheels repo.
+</Aside>
+
+## Browser test gating in CI
+
+Browser specs are expensive to run in CI — they need the Playwright JARs (~370MB) and a Chromium install — so the framework ships an opt-in gate. Two environment variables decide whether `BrowserTest` specs execute or skip gracefully:
+
+- **`WHEELS_CI=true`** — mark the environment as CI
+- **`WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE=true`** (or `1` or `yes`) — opt browser specs in
+
+If `WHEELS_CI` is set and `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE` is not one of `true,1,yes`, `BrowserTest.cfc` sets `this.browserTestSkipped = true` in `beforeAll`. Every `it` block in a browser spec that begins with `if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;` then exits without running. The suite stays green; the browser tests simply don't count.
+
+```yaml title=".github/workflows/tests.yml (fragment)"
+env:
+  WHEELS_CI: "true"
+  # Uncomment to run browser specs in CI:
+  # WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE: "true"
+```
+
+When you do opt in, cache the Playwright install — it's the slowest single step in the workflow.
+
+```yaml title=".github/workflows/tests.yml (fragment)"
+- name: Cache Playwright
+  uses: actions/cache@v4
+  with:
+    path: |
+      ~/.wheels/browser/lib
+      ~/.cache/ms-playwright
+    key: playwright-${{ hashFiles('vendor/wheels/browser-manifest.json') }}
+    restore-keys: |
+      playwright-
+
+- name: Install Playwright
+  if: steps.playwright-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
+  run: wheels browser install
+```
+
+The cache key hashes `browser-manifest.json` so a Playwright version bump invalidates the cache automatically.
+
+## Cross-engine matrix via Docker
+
+`pr.yml` covers Lucee 7 + SQLite. For the full cross-engine story, you run Docker Compose from the repo root and hit each engine's port directly — the same pattern documented in [Running Tests Locally](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/running-tests-locally/). Wrapped in a GitHub Actions matrix, every cell is an independent runner:
+
+```yaml title=".github/workflows/compat-matrix.yml"
+jobs:
+  matrix-tests:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    continue-on-error: true
+    strategy:
+      fail-fast: false
+      matrix:
+        engine: [lucee6, lucee7, adobe2023, adobe2025, boxlang]
+        database: [sqlite, mysql, postgres]
+    env:
+      PORT_lucee6: 60006
+      PORT_lucee7: 60007
+      PORT_adobe2023: 62023
+      PORT_adobe2025: 62025
+      PORT_boxlang: 60001
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Start engine
+        run: docker compose up -d ${{ matrix.engine }}
+
+      - name: Wait for engine
+        run: |
+          PORT_VAR="PORT_${{ matrix.engine }}"
+          PORT="${!PORT_VAR}"
+          for i in $(seq 1 60); do
+            if curl -sf "http://localhost:${PORT}/" > /dev/null; then break; fi
+            sleep 2
+          done
+
+      - name: Run tests
+        run: |
+          PORT_VAR="PORT_${{ matrix.engine }}"
+          PORT="${!PORT_VAR}"
+          curl -sf "http://localhost:${PORT}/wheels/core/tests?db=${{ matrix.database }}&format=json" \
+            > results.json
+          python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('results.json')); \
+            exit(0 if d['totalFail']==0 and d['totalError']==0 else 1)"
+```
+
+Three things worth knowing:
+
+- **`compose.yml` lives at the repo root.** Older docs sometimes pointed at `rig/compose.yml`; that location is gone. Run `docker compose ...` from the checkout root.
+- **`fail-fast: false`** lets the other cells finish when one fails. Without it, a single Adobe CF failure kills Lucee before you see whether Lucee was green.
+- **External databases are additional `docker compose up` targets.** `mysql`, `postgres`, `sqlserver`, and `cockroachdb` have their own service definitions; `docker compose up -d postgres` brings Postgres up alongside the engine container.
+
+## Soft-fail databases
+
+Some database engines have known-failing tests that aren't worth blocking a PR over while the fix is in flight. The pattern is a combination of `continue-on-error: true` on the matrix cell and an explicit `include:` entry that marks the cell as expected-to-fail.
+
+```yaml title=".github/workflows/compat-matrix.yml (fragment)"
+strategy:
+  fail-fast: false
+  matrix:
+    database: [sqlite, mysql, postgres, cockroachdb]
+    include:
+      - database: cockroachdb
+        soft_fail: true
+steps:
+  - name: Run tests
+    continue-on-error: ${{ matrix.soft_fail == true }}
+    run: bash tools/ci/run-tests.sh
+```
+
+The framework's `compat-matrix.yml` uses a `SOFT_FAIL_DBS` shell variable instead of a matrix flag — same idea. Once the underlying tests are fixed, drop the database from the soft-fail list so failures start blocking again.
+
+## Caching dependencies
+
+`actions/setup-java@v4` caches the JDK for you. The things worth caching explicitly are the LuCLI Lucee Express install (downloads ~60MB on first run), the Maven cache if any step resolves JARs, and the Playwright install if you run browser specs.
+
+```yaml title=".github/workflows/tests.yml (fragment)"
+- name: Cache LuCLI Lucee Express
+  uses: actions/cache@v4
+  with:
+    path: |
+      ~/.lucli
+      ~/.m2
+    key: lucli-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('box.json') }}
+    restore-keys: |
+      lucli-${{ runner.os }}-
+```
+
+The key hashes `box.json` so a version bump invalidates the cache, but the `restore-keys` fallback lets PRs without version changes reuse the most recent cache.
+
+## Parallel execution
+
+The only parallelism the framework ships today is matrix parallelism — every cell of `strategy.matrix` runs on its own runner in GitHub Actions. There is no `--parallel` flag on `wheels test run` and no in-process parallel runner exposed through the CLI. If you need more throughput, split your matrix further (by engine, by database, by directory filter) rather than trying to parallelise a single suite.
+
+```yaml title=".github/workflows/tests.yml (fragment)"
+strategy:
+  fail-fast: false
+  matrix:
+    directory:
+      - tests.specs.model
+      - tests.specs.controller
+      - tests.specs.view
+      - tests.specs.dispatch
+      - tests.specs.migrator
+steps:
+  - name: Run filtered suite
+    run: wheels test run --filter=${{ matrix.directory }}
+```
+
+Each cell runs independently on its own runner with its own LuCLI server — the suites don't share state and can't collide.
+
+## Common CI failures
+
+The handful of failures that eat the most CI minutes, with the one-line diagnosis for each:
+
+- **`JAVA_HOME is not set`** — LuCLI's preflight fires an actionable error. Use `actions/setup-java@v4`; it exports `JAVA_HOME` for you. Never set it by hand in a later step.
+- **Playwright JARs missing, browser specs silently skip** — expected when you haven't installed Playwright. If you want browser specs to run, add a `wheels browser install` step and the `actions/cache@v4` block above.
+- **`docker compose` not found** — the `ubuntu-latest` runner includes Docker, but some self-hosted runners don't. Add `docker/setup-buildx-action@v3` if you hit it.
+- **Lucee starts but the test request times out** — the first hit to `/` pays the full Wheels bootstrap cost. Warm the app with `curl -s "http://localhost:PORT/?reload=true&password=..."` before you curl the test endpoint, and raise `--max-time` on the test curl to 600.
+- **Tests pass locally but fail in CI** — almost always a cross-engine gotcha (Adobe's `application` scope, Lucee's struct member functions, closure `this` capture). Reproduce by running the same engine locally via Docker Compose before you debug CI logs.
+- **Flaky `wheels new` in parallel runs** — a known LuCLI race when multiple cells scaffold apps into the same shared cache. Reduce matrix parallelism or add a retry step.
+- **Test job green, PR still red** — check the reporter job. `EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action` reports failures independently of the test step's exit code.
+
+## Other CI systems
+
+GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, Buildkite — the shape is identical. Install Java 21, install the `wheels` CLI, create the SQLite databases, start a server, run the tests, collect results. The shell commands don't change; only the surrounding YAML or DSL does. There is no Wheels-specific CI integration beyond the JSON endpoint (`/wheels/core/tests?format=json`) for machine-readable results and the `WHEELS_CI` / `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE` environment variables for browser-spec gating.

+title: Controller Tests
+description: Testing controller actions — response status, redirects, flash messages, filters, and params — without booting an HTTP server.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 3

+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Controller tests exercise the full request pipeline: routing, filters, action dispatch, rendering. Wheels ships **`TestClient`** — a fluent HTTP client that drives your running app with `cfhttp` under the hood — so controller specs are real end-to-end integration tests against real HTTP responses, not abstract dispatch stubs. This page walks the canonical patterns: asserting status and body, following redirects, exercising filters indirectly, maintaining a session across requests, and testing JSON responses.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The `TestClient` API — constructor, HTTP verbs, request config, assertions, response accessors
+- How to assert response status, body content, redirects, and headers
+- How to test the create / update flow — redirect on success, re-render on validation failure
+- How to exercise filters indirectly — through the responses they produce
+- How cookies (including session) persist across requests on a single client
+- How to test JSON responses with `assertJson` and `assertJsonPath`
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how controller actions and filters work. See [Controllers and Actions](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/controllers-and-actions/) and [Authorization & Filters](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/authorization-and-filters/). For the BDD basics — `describe`, `it`, `expect` — see [Model Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/model-tests/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Minimal spec shape
+
+Every controller spec is a CFC under `tests/specs/controllers/` that extends `wheels.WheelsTest`. The base class provides `$testClient()` — a helper that builds a `TestClient` pre-configured with the running server's base URL — and a `visit(path)` shortcut that makes an HTTP GET in one call.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/controllers/PostsSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Posts", () => {
+            it("shows the index page", () => {
+                var client = $testClient();
+                client.get("/posts");
+                expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(200);
+                client.assertSee("Posts");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Three things worth knowing:
+
+- `$testClient()` returns a fresh client per call. The base URL is auto-detected from `CGI.SERVER_PORT` — no setup is needed when you run the suite against the built-in test server.
+- `visit("/posts")` is shorthand for `$testClient().get("/posts")` — useful for one-liner assertions. Construct a client directly when you need to reuse cookies, set headers, or chain multiple requests.
+- `TestClient` assertions (`assertSee`, `assertRedirect`, `assertJson`, ...) throw `TestBox.AssertionFailed` on failure. They return `this`, so they chain: `client.assertOk().assertSee("Welcome")`.
+
+## The response accessors
+
+`TestClient` tracks the last response internally. After any HTTP call, read the data back through these accessors rather than the raw `cfhttp` struct — they normalize across CFML engines.
+
+| Accessor | Returns | Notes |
+|----------|---------|-------|
+| `statusCode()` | Numeric status | Extracts the integer from `"200 OK"` style strings. |
+| `content()` | Response body as string | Empty string when no body. |
+| `headers()` | Struct of response headers | Keyed by header name. Cookies are in `Set-Cookie`. |
+| `json()` | Deserialized JSON body | Throws `TestBox.AssertionFailed` if the body isn't parseable JSON. |
+| `response()` | Full raw `cfhttp` result | Escape hatch for details the helpers don't expose. |
+
+Use the assertion shortcuts (`assertStatus`, `assertOk`, `assertNotFound`, `assertRedirect`, `assertSee`, `assertDontSee`, `assertJson`, `assertHeader`, `assertCookie`) when possible — their failure messages are more descriptive than a bare `expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(...)`.
+
+## Testing action dispatch
+
+Start with the three basic shapes: a GET that returns content, a GET for a missing record, and a GET that redirects because a filter blocked access.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/controllers/PostsSpec.cfc"
+describe("Posts index", () => {
+    it("returns 200 and lists posts", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.get("/posts");
+        expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(200);
+        client.assertSee("Posts");
+    });
+
+    it("returns 404 for a missing post", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.get("/posts/999999");
+        expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(404);
+    });
+
+    it("redirects to login when the action requires authentication", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.get("/posts/1/edit");
+        client.assertRedirect(to="/login");
+    });
+});
+```
+
+`assertRedirect(to="...")` checks for a 3xx status **and** confirms the `Location` header contains the expected path. Drop the `to` argument to assert a redirect without pinning the target.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  `TestClient` sets `redirect = false` on the underlying `cfhttp` — the client never follows 3xx responses automatically. That's intentional: you want to assert on the redirect itself, not on the page it landed on. To follow through, issue a second request to the `Location` header.
+</Aside>
+
+## Testing POST and the create flow
+
+Creating a record has two outcomes to assert: a successful save redirects (typically 302 to the show page), and a validation failure re-renders the form (typically 200 with error messages in the body). Pass form fields as a struct to `post()` — the controller sees them on `params`, including nested keys like `params.post.title`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/controllers/PostsSpec.cfc"
+describe("Posts create", () => {
+    it("redirects to the show page after a successful create", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.post("/posts", {"post[title]": "New", "post[body]": "Body text"});
+        expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(302);
+        client.assertRedirect(to="/posts/");
+    });
+
+    it("re-renders the new template when validation fails", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.post("/posts", {"post[title]": "", "post[body]": "Body text"});
+        expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(200);
+        client.assertSee("Title can't be empty");
+    });
+});
+```
+
+The distinction matters: a 302 confirms the save succeeded and the controller called `redirectTo`; a 200 with the error message in the body confirms the validation caught a bad input and the action re-rendered `new`. If you ever see a 302 on invalid input, you know the validation isn't running — or the controller isn't branching on `.save()`'s return value.
+
+## Testing filter behavior
+
+Filters declared with `filter(through="authenticate")` run before the action. They're `private` functions, so you can't call them directly from a spec. Instead, assert their effect through the response: an unauthenticated request should redirect to login; an unauthorized request should redirect with a flash message; an authenticated request should land on 200.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/controllers/PostsSpec.cfc"
+describe("Authentication filter", () => {
+    it("redirects anonymous users from the edit page", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.get("/posts/1/edit");
+        client.assertRedirect(to="/login");
+    });
+
+    it("lets a logged-in user edit a post", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        // POST to the login action — the client captures the session cookie
+        client.post("/login", {email: "alice@example.com", password: "secret"});
+        client.get("/posts/1/edit");
+        expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(200);
+    });
+});
+```
+
+Session state lives in the HTTP session cookie on the server. `TestClient` reads `Set-Cookie` headers after every request and includes the captured cookies on the next request, so a login in step one carries through to step two automatically — no manual session manipulation. A fresh `$testClient()` starts with an empty cookie jar.
+
+## Testing authorization — ownership filters
+
+When a `before` filter checks record ownership (for example, "you can only edit your own posts"), the same pattern applies: log in as one user, try to edit another user's record, assert the redirect. The fixture setup in `populate.cfm` seeds the users and posts.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/controllers/PostsSpec.cfc"
+describe("Ownership filter", () => {
+    it("lets alice edit her own post", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.post("/login", {email: "alice@example.com", password: "secret"});
+        client.get("/posts/1/edit");
+        expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(200);
+    });
+
+    it("blocks alice from editing bob's post", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.post("/login", {email: "alice@example.com", password: "secret"});
+        client.get("/posts/2/edit");
+        client.assertRedirect(to="/posts");
+    });
+});
+```
+
+One spec per actor × path combination: authorized succeeds, unauthorized redirects. When the filter grows a third case ("admins can edit anyone's posts"), you add a third `it`; the first two don't move.
+
+## Mocking params
+
+`TestClient.post(path, body)` and `put(path, body)` take a struct whose keys become form fields on the request. Wheels' request parser maps square-bracket keys into nested `params` structs — `"post[title]"` lands at `params.post.title`, matching how a real `<form>` submits. When a key has no brackets, it lands at the top level: `{email: "x@y.com"}` becomes `params.email`.
+
+Send JSON instead by chaining `.asJson()` before the call:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/controllers/PostsApiSpec.cfc"
+it("accepts a JSON body", () => {
+    var client = $testClient();
+    client.asJson().post("/api/posts", {title: "From JSON", body: "B"});
+    expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(201);
+});
+```
+
+`.asJson()` sets `Content-Type: application/json`, sets `Accept: application/json`, and tells the client to serialize the body struct with `SerializeJSON` rather than sending it as form fields.
+
+## Testing JSON responses
+
+When the controller uses content negotiation (`provides("html", "json")` plus `renderWith(data=...)`), the same endpoint returns HTML by default and JSON when the client asks for it. Assert JSON responses with `assertJson` (full or partial struct match) and `assertJsonPath` (dot-notation lookup).
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/controllers/PostsApiSpec.cfc"
+describe("Posts API", () => {
+    it("returns JSON when Accept header requests it", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.asJson().get("/posts/1");
+        expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(200);
+        client.assertHeader("Content-Type");
+        client.assertJson({title: "First post"});
+    });
+
+    it("resolves nested paths in the JSON response", () => {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.asJson().get("/posts/1");
+        client.assertJsonPath("post.title", "First post");
+        client.assertJsonPath("post.comments.1.author", "Alice");
+    });
+});
+```
+
+`assertJson` with no argument just checks the body parses as JSON. Pass a struct and it asserts every key matches the parsed response. `assertJsonPath` takes a dot-notation path — array indices are 1-based, matching CFML convention, so `items.1` is the first element.
+
+Set individual headers when you need finer control than `.asJson()` gives:
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type"
+client.withHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " & token)
+      .withHeader("Accept", "application/json")
+      .get("/api/posts/1");
+```
+
+`withHeader(name, value)` and `withHeaders(struct)` persist on the client — every subsequent request on that client sends them until you build a new client.
+
+## Test isolation
+
+`TestClient` runs against your real database through real HTTP requests. Two concerns:
+
+- **State carries across specs.** WheelsTest does not wrap each `it` in a transaction — the default `transactionMode` is `none`. A `POST /posts` in one spec creates a row the next spec will see. `tests/populate.cfm` runs once at the start of the suite to DROP + CREATE + seed; it does not run between specs. If a spec must not leak state, wrap the action call in a manual transaction and roll back at the end.
+- **A fresh client has an empty cookie jar.** Build a new `$testClient()` at the top of each `it` (or in `beforeEach`) when you want to start logged out. Reuse one client when you want to chain logged-in requests.
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type"
+it("creates a post inside a rollback", () => {
+    transaction {
+        var client = $testClient();
+        client.post("/login", {email: "alice@example.com", password: "secret"});
+        client.post("/posts", {"post[title]": "T", "post[body]": "B"});
+        expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(302);
+        transaction action="rollback";
+    }
+});
+```
+
+The [Fixtures & Test Data](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/fixtures-and-test-data/) guide covers the full `populate.cfm` pattern and strategies for keeping specs independent when the suite grows.

+title: Fixtures & Test Data
+description: tests/populate.cfm conventions, test-only models, factory patterns, and per-spec isolation.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 8
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Every test type in Wheels — model, controller, view, integration, functional, browser — leans on the same fixture plumbing: `tests/populate.cfm`, optional test-only models, and a default transaction mode of `none`. This page walks the lifecycle so you know what runs when, how to keep specs from leaking into each other, and how to build ergonomic per-spec data without re-inventing ActiveRecord fixtures.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The real `populate.cfm` lifecycle — when it runs, when it doesn't, and why
+- How to write a minimal populate file that drops, creates, and seeds
+- How to isolate a destructive spec with a manual transaction rollback
+- When to reach for test-only models versus the real app models
+- How to keep specs readable with small factory helpers
+- The scope gotcha that bites every first-time populate author
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know BDD basics. See [Model Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/model-tests/) for the spec shape. This page covers the fixture plumbing every test type relies on.
+</Aside>
+
+## The populate lifecycle
+
+`tests/populate.cfm` runs **once per test run**, not once per spec. The runner includes it before TestBox boots, which means every `describe` and every `it` in the run starts with the same schema and the same seed rows. If your first spec writes a row and the tenth spec reads the table, the tenth spec sees the write.
+
+The trigger conditions live in `vendor/wheels/tests/runner.cfm`. The runner reads `url.populate` — defaulting to `true` when the param is missing — and also checks whether the core tables already exist. Populate runs when `url.populate` is truthy *or* when a sentinel table (`c_o_r_e_authors` in the framework's own suite) is missing from the database. In practice that means a fresh `wheels test run` always populates; passing `?populate=false` in a URL invocation skips the drop-and-recreate but still runs if the schema is missing.
+
+This is a significant departure from Rails or Laravel, where the framework wraps each test in a transaction and rolls back. Wheels sets `application.wheels.transactionMode = "none"` in `runner.cfm`, so writes during a test run persist across specs. The two mechanisms you have for isolation are: (1) make `populate.cfm` idempotent so re-running it always resets the world, and (2) wrap destructive specs in a manual `transaction { ... }` block that rolls back.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  `populate.cfm` does not run between specs. A `create()` in `specs/models/PostSpec.cfc` leaves a row visible to `specs/models/CommentSpec.cfc`. Design specs to tolerate shared state, or roll back writes explicitly.
+</Aside>
+
+## A minimal populate.cfm
+
+The canonical pattern is DROP + CREATE + seed, in that order, with the drops in reverse dependency order (children first, parents last) so foreign-key constraints don't trip you. Here's a small example for a blog with users, posts, and comments:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/populate.cfm"
+<cfscript>
+// Runs once per test run. Triggered by runner.cfm whenever url.populate is
+// truthy (default) or when the sentinel table is missing.
+
+// Drop existing tables (reverse dependency order)
+try { application.wo.execute("DROP TABLE comments"); } catch (any e) {}
+try { application.wo.execute("DROP TABLE posts"); } catch (any e) {}
+try { application.wo.execute("DROP TABLE users"); } catch (any e) {}
+
+// Create tables
+application.wo.execute("
+    CREATE TABLE users (
+        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+        email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
+        passwordHash VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
+        createdAt DATETIME NOT NULL,
+        updatedAt DATETIME NOT NULL
+    )
+");
+
+application.wo.execute("
+    CREATE TABLE posts (
+        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+        userId INTEGER NOT NULL,
+        title VARCHAR(120) NOT NULL,
+        body TEXT,
+        status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'draft',
+        createdAt DATETIME NOT NULL,
+        updatedAt DATETIME NOT NULL
+    )
+");
+
+application.wo.execute("
+    CREATE TABLE comments (
+        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+        postId INTEGER NOT NULL,
+        author VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
+        body TEXT NOT NULL,
+        createdAt DATETIME NOT NULL,
+        updatedAt DATETIME NOT NULL
+    )
+");
+
+// Seed known fixtures
+application.wo.execute("
+    INSERT INTO users (email, passwordHash, createdAt, updatedAt)
+    VALUES ('alice@example.com', 'hash', NOW(), NOW()),
+           ('bob@example.com', 'hash', NOW(), NOW())
+");
+
+application.wo.execute("
+    INSERT INTO posts (userId, title, body, status, createdAt, updatedAt)
+    VALUES (1, 'Welcome', 'First post', 'published', NOW(), NOW())
+");
+</cfscript>
+```
+
+Two things to notice. First, every call goes through `application.wo.execute(...)` rather than a bare `execute(...)`. That's the scope gotcha (covered below) — Wheels' internal functions are not available as globals inside a plain `.cfm` include. Second, the schema uses SQLite-flavoured syntax (`AUTOINCREMENT`, `TEXT`) because SQLite is the inner-loop reference platform for Wheels 4.0 tests.
+
+## Per-spec isolation — the manual pattern
+
+When a spec's writes would confuse later specs, wrap the work in a transaction and roll back at the end. The pattern is a `try/finally` around the assertions so rollback still runs if an expectation fails:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostCreateSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Post creation", () => {
+            it("creates a post without leaking to other specs", () => {
+                transaction {
+                    try {
+                        var post = model("Post").create(
+                            userId=1, title="Temp", body="B", status="draft"
+                        );
+                        expect(post.valid()).toBeTrue();
+                        expect(model("Post").count(where="title='Temp'")).toBe(1);
+                    } finally {
+                        transaction action="rollback";
+                    }
+                }
+
+                // Temp is gone — this spec saw it, later specs won't.
+                expect(model("Post").count(where="title='Temp'")).toBe(0);
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The outer `transaction { ... }` opens a savepoint; the `transaction action="rollback"` inside `finally` discards everything done inside the block. Every `create`, `update`, and `delete` reverses before the next `it` runs. Use this pattern for any spec that would otherwise leave detectable state behind — lingering rows, updated counters, deleted rows that populate needed.
+
+## Test-only models
+
+Sometimes you want a model that exists only during the test run — a stripped-down subject for isolating behaviour the real app model doesn't expose, or a wrapper around a fixture table that shouldn't ship in production. The framework itself uses this pattern extensively: `vendor/wheels/tests/_assets/models/` holds dozens of test models that point at `c_o_r_e_*` tables defined in `populate.cfm`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/_assets/models/TestPost.cfc"
+component extends="Model" {
+    function config() {
+        tableName("test_posts");
+        setPrimaryKey("id");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+A test-only model lives at `tests/_assets/models/` and maps to a table created by `populate.cfm`. To make the framework discover models in that directory during tests, point the app at it in `tests/TestRunner.cfc` (or the equivalent bootstrap) using `application.wheels.modelPath`. The framework's own `runner.cfm` does this with `set(modelPath = "/wheels/tests/_assets/models")`.
+
+## Factory-style builders
+
+When `populate.cfm` seeds the bare minimum and individual specs need their own per-test data with small variations, extract a factory. A factory is just a private function that returns a `new` (unsaved) or saved instance with sensible defaults, overridable per call:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostFactorySpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Post", () => {
+            it("uses defaults + overrides via a factory", () => {
+                var post = buildPost(title="Specific Title");
+                expect(post.title).toBe("Specific Title");
+                expect(post.status).toBe("draft");
+            });
+
+            it("exposes the same factory in every spec", () => {
+                var draft = buildPost();
+                var live = buildPost(status="published");
+                expect(draft.status).toBe("draft");
+                expect(live.status).toBe("published");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+
+    private any function buildPost(struct overrides={}) {
+        var defaults = {
+            userId: 1,
+            title: "Default Title",
+            body: "Default Body",
+            status: "draft"
+        };
+        StructAppend(defaults, arguments.overrides, true);
+        return model("Post").new(argumentCollection=defaults);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Factories trade a few lines of setup for a shorter, more readable spec body. When the same factory appears in three or more spec files, lift it into a helper CFC under `tests/_helpers/` and include it from the specs that need it.
+
+## The scope gotcha
+
+Wheels' internal functions (`model()`, `$dbinfo`, `execute()`, and friends) are not available as bare globals inside plain `.cfm` files that are included from CFCs like `TestRunner.cfc`. If you write `execute("CREATE TABLE ...")` in `populate.cfm`, you'll get a "variable EXECUTE is undefined" error.
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  Call framework internals via `application.wo.` (the scope where Wheels stores its callable methods) or use native CFML tags. `application.wo.execute("CREATE TABLE ...")` works; so does `<cfdbinfo>`, `<cfquery>`, and `<cfdump>`. Same rule for `application.wo.model("Post")` if you need to seed through the ORM instead of raw SQL.
+</Aside>
+
+This is the most common first-time-authoring bug in `populate.cfm`. If your tests die at boot with "function not defined" and the stack trace points at your populate, it's this.
+
+## SQL-level vs model-level seeding
+
+Seeding with raw SQL (`INSERT INTO users ...`) is fast and sidesteps model callbacks entirely. That's usually what you want for baseline fixtures: you need rows to exist, not a lifecycle exercise. Raw SQL also avoids a chicken-and-egg problem — if `populate.cfm` creates the schema and your model's `beforeSave` callback assumes a table exists that populate hasn't created yet, model-level seeding crashes.
+
+Seeding through `application.wo.model("Post").create(...)` fires the full callback chain, runs validations, and returns a model instance. Reach for it in narrow cases — a spec that wants a known-good record that exercised the real save path, or a fixture where you genuinely need the callback output. For the common case, raw SQL is both faster and more predictable.
+
+## Idempotent populate
+
+The DROP + CREATE + seed pattern shown above is idempotent by construction: every run starts from a clean schema, so re-running populate produces the same database every time. That's the recommended approach.
+
+If your test database is large enough that dropping tables is disruptive (say, a shared CI database with other jobs querying it), you can shift to row-level idempotency: keep the tables permanent, `DELETE FROM` the rows you seed, then `INSERT` the fresh batch. For most apps the drop-and-recreate pattern is simpler and fast enough — SQLite does it in tens of milliseconds.
+
+## Cross-engine considerations
+
+`populate.cfm` runs against whatever database the test run targets. `NOW()` is portable across MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, H2, and SQLite. `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP` is not fully portable — SQL Server and Oracle treat it slightly differently. Identity-column syntax diverges more sharply: `AUTOINCREMENT` in SQLite, `SERIAL` in PostgreSQL, `IDENTITY(1,1)` in SQL Server, `AUTO_INCREMENT` in MySQL.
+
+Target your reference platform. Wheels 4.0's inner-loop tests run on SQLite, so SQLite-flavoured DDL in `populate.cfm` is fine for local development. When you need a shared populate that works across multiple engines, look at how the framework's own `vendor/wheels/tests/populate.cfm` detects the database type via `<cfdbinfo>` and branches on `local.db` to pick the right identity-column syntax.
+
+## Common patterns
+
+- One `populate.cfm` per app — shared across every test category
+- Drop tables in reverse dependency order (children first, parents last)
+- Seed timestamps with `NOW()` for cross-engine safety
+- Use factory functions for per-spec data that varies; keep populate for the stable baseline
+- Transaction-wrap specs that would otherwise leak state (`transaction { ... transaction action="rollback"; }`)
+- Put test-only models at `tests/_assets/models/` and set `modelPath` in the test bootstrap
+- Prefix framework calls with `application.wo.` inside `.cfm` includes — it's the scope gotcha every time

+title: Functional Tests
+description: Single-feature end-to-end tests without a browser — route matching, middleware, filters, action, and view render through real HTTP.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 6
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Functional tests exercise one feature slice through the entire server-side request pipeline — middleware, router, filters, action, view render — and assert on the response a browser would actually receive. They sit one layer below browser tests (no JavaScript) and one layer above controller tests (broader scope, same `TestClient`). This page walks the patterns: pipeline-level assertions, middleware effects, CORS and rate-limit verification, route model binding, filter-driven redirects, and validation error paths.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What functional tests verify that model, controller, and integration tests don't
+- How functional differs from integration — scope, not tooling
+- How to assert that middleware, the router, filters, the action, and the view all cooperate on one request
+- How to test middleware response effects (security headers, CORS, rate limits) through the real response
+- How to test error paths — 404 from route model binding, redirects from auth filters, 200 re-render from validation failures
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know the request lifecycle. See [The Request Lifecycle](/v4-0-0-snapshot/core-concepts/request-lifecycle/). For the testing runtime, see [Controller Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/controller-tests/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Functional vs integration
+
+Both functional and integration tests use `TestClient` and hit the running app through real HTTP. The difference is scope — what question each kind of test is asking.
+
+An **integration test** covers a user journey. It chains several requests on one client, often across several controllers and sometimes with multiple users, and asserts the journey ends in the expected database state. That's the shape in [Integration Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/integration-tests/).
+
+A **functional test** covers one feature slice end-to-end. One HTTP request, full pipeline — middleware runs, the router dispatches, filters fire, the action renders the view, the response comes back. It's broader than a [controller test](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/controller-tests/) (which asserts on the action in isolation) and narrower than an integration test (which chains requests). Reach for a functional test when you want to verify the whole server-side stack cooperates on one scenario — security headers present, the route matched the right action, filters behaved, the view rendered, the response shape is correct.
+
+## A functional spec — full pipeline exercise
+
+The canonical shape: one request, assertions that span the layers it crossed.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/functional/PostsShowSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Posts show — full request pipeline", () => {
+            it("matches the route, loads the record, renders the view", () => {
+                var post = model("Post").create(title="T", body="B", status="published");
+
+                $testClient().get("/posts/##post.id##")
+                    .assertOk()
+                    .assertHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=UTF-8")
+                    .assertSee("<h1>T</h1>")
+                    .assertSee("B");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The assertion chain reads as a trace of the request. `assertOk` confirms the router matched a real action and no filter short-circuited. `assertHeader` confirms the response came back as HTML, not JSON or a redirect. The two `assertSee` calls confirm the view actually rendered the record. If any layer misbehaves — a route typo, a filter that redirects, a view that swallowed the record — one of these fails and tells you which.
+
+## Testing middleware effects
+
+Middleware runs before the controller; whatever headers it adds show up on every response. The built-in `SecurityHeaders` middleware ships four headers by default — `X-Frame-Options`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, `X-XSS-Protection`, and `Referrer-Policy` — and a functional test is the natural place to verify they actually arrive.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/functional/SecurityHeadersSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Security headers", () => {
+            it("applies default security headers on every response", () => {
+                $testClient().get("/posts")
+                    .assertOk()
+                    .assertHeader("X-Frame-Options", "SAMEORIGIN")
+                    .assertHeader("X-Content-Type-Options", "nosniff")
+                    .assertHeader("Referrer-Policy", "strict-origin-when-cross-origin");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`assertHeader(name)` (one argument) checks presence; `assertHeader(name, value)` checks the exact value. `Content-Security-Policy`, `Strict-Transport-Security`, and `Permissions-Policy` are opt-in — `SecurityHeaders` only emits them when you configure them explicitly (or, for HSTS, when the environment is `production`). Don't assert on opt-in headers unless your app turns them on.
+
+## Testing CORS
+
+With the `Cors` middleware registered for `allowOrigins="https://myapp.com"`, a functional test confirms the middleware sees the request `Origin` and returns the matching `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/functional/CorsSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("CORS on /api", () => {
+            it("echoes the allowed origin on a real request", () => {
+                $testClient()
+                    .withHeader("Origin", "https://myapp.com")
+                    .get("/api/posts")
+                    .assertOk()
+                    .assertHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "https://myapp.com");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`withHeader` attaches the request header; the assertion reads the response header the middleware set. See [CORS](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/cors/) for configuration options and preflight semantics.
+
+## Testing rate limits
+
+The `RateLimiter` middleware caps requests per window and returns `429 Too Many Requests` with a `Retry-After` header once the limit is exceeded. A functional test proves the limit actually triggers — fire requests until the response flips, then assert.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/functional/RateLimitSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Rate limit on /api", () => {
+            it("returns 429 after the window maxes out", () => {
+                var client = $testClient();
+
+                // bust through the limit
+                for (var i = 1; i <= 61; i++) {
+                    client.get("/api/posts");
+                    if (client.statusCode() == 429) break;
+                }
+
+                expect(client.statusCode()).toBe(429);
+                client.assertHeader("Retry-After");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Reuse one client so the rate-limit key (by default, the client IP) stays stable across the loop. See [Rate Limiting](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/rate-limiting/) for strategies (`fixedWindow`, `slidingWindow`, `tokenBucket`) and storage options.
+
+## Testing route model binding
+
+With route model binding enabled, a request for a missing record returns a 404 before the action runs — the dispatcher throws `Wheels.RecordNotFound` when `findByKey` comes back empty. A functional test proves the whole chain wires up: the router extracted the key, the binder tried to load, the 404 handler rendered.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/functional/PostsNotFoundSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Posts show — missing record", () => {
+            it("returns 404 when the post doesn't exist", () => {
+                $testClient().get("/posts/999999")
+                    .assertNotFound();
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`assertNotFound()` is sugar for `assertStatus(404)`. See [Route Model Binding](/v4-0-0-snapshot/digging-deeper/route-model-binding/) for how binding resolves the key into `params.post`.
+
+## Testing authentication filters
+
+A `before` filter that redirects unauthenticated users produces a 302 response, not a rendered view. The TestClient doesn't auto-follow redirects — `assertRedirect` inspects the `Location` header on the intercepted response.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/functional/PostsNewAuthSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Posts new — unauthenticated", () => {
+            it("redirects to /login", () => {
+                $testClient().get("/posts/new")
+                    .assertRedirect(to="/login");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+A functional test here covers more than the filter alone — it confirms the route mapped `GET /posts/new` to `new`, the filter fired before the action, and the redirect target is literally the login URL. A controller-level filter test could assert the filter's return value, but only a functional test proves the whole chain responds with `Location: /login`.
+
+## Testing validation error paths
+
+A failing validation re-renders the form with the submitted values and error messages. Wheels convention is to return 200 with the `new` or `edit` template, not a 422 — the request succeeded in the HTTP sense; the domain object failed to save.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/functional/PostsCreateInvalidSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Posts create — validation failure", () => {
+            it("re-renders the new form with error messages", () => {
+                $testClient()
+                    .post("/posts", {"post[title]": "", "post[body]": "B"})
+                    .assertOk()
+                    .assertSee("can")
+                    .assertSee("t be empty");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The split assertion sidesteps an apostrophe-encoding gotcha: Wheels HTML-escapes error messages, so `can't` renders as `can&##39;t`. A single `assertSee("can't be empty")` would miss the encoded form. `assertSeeInOrder(["can", "t be empty"])` is an equivalent one-liner when you want to assert the two fragments appear in that order.
+
+## When to choose functional over integration
+
+- **Functional:** "Does *this feature* work end-to-end?" One HTTP request, one spec, full server-side pipeline.
+- **Integration:** "Does *this user journey* work?" Multiple requests chained on one (or several) clients, often across several controllers.
+- Both run through `TestClient` against real HTTP; scope is the only difference. Functional tests catch regressions in the middleware-router-filter-action-view seam; integration tests catch regressions across journeys that span features.
+
+A rough heuristic: if the spec title reads like a single feature statement ("attaches CORS headers for allowed origins", "re-renders the new form on validation failure"), it's functional. If it reads like a verb phrase describing what a user does ("signs up, posts, and comments"), it's integration.
+
+## When to choose browser over functional
+
+Functional tests cover the server side only — what HTML the server ships on the first request. They can't exercise JavaScript, Turbo Frame/Stream swaps, client-side validation, or form submissions wired to `fetch`. For any flow whose behaviour emerges in the browser after the initial HTML, write a browser test instead. For pure server-rendered flows — classic form POST, redirect, GET — functional tests cover the same ground an order of magnitude faster. See [Browser Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/browser-tests/) for the Playwright-backed DSL.

+title: Testing
+description: What kinds of tests Wheels ships, the BDD runner, and where to go for each testing task.
+type: concept
+sidebar:
+  order: 1
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Wheels ships a single BDD test runner — **WheelsTest** — that covers every layer of your app, from a model's validations up through a real Chromium driving your rendered pages. This page is the map. It tells you which kind of test goes where, what a spec looks like, and how to run the suite. The detail pages that follow walk each category deeply.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- Which test categories Wheels recognizes and what each one is for
+- The shape of a WheelsTest spec — `describe`, `it`, `expect`
+- What changed from the legacy RocketUnit runner and why you shouldn't use it for new work
+- How to run the suite locally, and which files drive test setup
+- Where to go next when you're ready to write a specific kind of test
+
+## Test categories
+
+Every test in a Wheels app is a CFC under `tests/specs/`, grouped by what it exercises. The runner treats them identically — the split is organizational, for you and your CI.
+
+| Category | File location | Typical scope |
+|----------|---------------|---------------|
+| Model tests | `tests/specs/models/` | One model — validations, callbacks, scopes, custom methods |
+| Controller tests | `tests/specs/controllers/` | One action — response status, redirects, filters, params |
+| View & form tests | `tests/specs/view/` | Rendered HTML assertions, form-helper output, `data-auto-id` selectors |
+| Integration tests | `tests/specs/functional/` | Multi-step user journeys across controllers and requests |
+| Functional tests | `tests/specs/functional/` | Single-feature end-to-end — middleware + route + filter + action + view |
+| Browser tests | `tests/specs/browser/` | Full UI flows driven by Playwright — JavaScript, Turbo, form submission |
+
+Model and controller tests are the bulk of a healthy suite. Integration tests cover journeys that span multiple actions and users. Functional tests verify one feature end-to-end through the full request pipeline. Browser tests cover what only exists in the browser — JavaScript-driven UI, Turbo Frame updates, anything where the server's response alone doesn't tell you whether the feature works.
+
+## What a WheelsTest spec looks like
+
+Every spec is a CFC that extends `wheels.WheelsTest`. The `run()` method holds `describe(...)` blocks. Inside each `describe`, `it(...)` blocks assert specific behaviors. Assertions chain off `expect(...)`:
+
+```cfm {test:compile}
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Post", () => {
+            it("requires a title", () => {
+                var post = model("Post").new();
+                expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+                expect(post.errorsOn("title")).toBeArray();
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Key points:
+
+- Extend `wheels.WheelsTest` — not `wheels.Test`. The latter is the legacy RocketUnit base and doesn't have `describe`, `it`, or `expect`.
+- `describe` and `it` take arrow-function callbacks. CFML closures work fine here.
+- Common matchers: `toBe`, `toBeTrue`, `toBeFalse`, `toBeArray`, `toBeStruct`, `toBeQuery`, `toInclude`, `toContain`, `toHaveKey`, `toHaveLength`.
+- **Phantom matchers that look plausible but don't ship:** `toEqual`, `toBeTruthy`, `toBeFalsy`. Use `toBe` (which deep-compares structs and arrays via `isEqual`), `toBeTrue`/`toBeFalse`, or the specific type matchers instead.
+- Specs can nest `describe` blocks as deep as you want. Shared setup goes in `beforeEach` / `afterEach` inside the `describe`.
+
+The detail pages for each category (below) walk through fixtures, matchers, and the patterns specific to that layer.
+
+## Legacy note — RocketUnit is deprecated
+
+Wheels used to ship with a homegrown runner called RocketUnit. Specs were CFCs in `tests/` with method names prefixed `test_` and assertions via `assert(condition, message)`. That runner still loads for backward compatibility, but every new test in Wheels 4.0 should use WheelsTest BDD syntax. The BDD matchers are more expressive, the failures are easier to read, and the lifecycle hooks (`beforeAll`, `beforeEach`) are the same shapes you'll recognize from other languages' BDD frameworks. If you're maintaining an older Wheels app, leave the RocketUnit tests alone — they still work — but write new tests against `wheels.WheelsTest`.
+
+## The reference platform
+
+Wheels 4.0 core tests run against **Lucee 7 + SQLite**. That's the baseline you should assume when reading the test docs. The full matrix — Adobe ColdFusion 2018/2021/2023/2025, BoxLang, and every supported database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, H2, SQLite, CockroachDB) — runs in CI on every PR to the framework. For your own app, pick one engine and one database for fast feedback, then let CI handle the matrix. Cross-engine nuances (Lucee vs. Adobe scope rules, closure semantics, reserved names) surface as asides in the detail pages where they matter.
+
+## Running tests
+
+The CLI driver is `wheels test run`. It expects a running server — the runner boots your app in test mode, executes the specs, and reports pass/fail.
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+Common invocations:
+
+- `wheels test run` — execute the entire suite.
+- `wheels test run --filter=models` — a single directory or keyword.
+- `wheels test run --ci` — CI mode (browser specs gate on `WHEELS_BROWSER_CI_ENABLE`).
+
+The runner also exposes an HTTP endpoint at `/wheels/core/tests` you can hit directly. A URL like `/wheels/core/tests?format=json&directory=tests.specs.model` runs just the model specs and returns JSON. This is useful for dev-loop iteration — keep the server up, change a spec, refresh the URL. See [Running Tests Locally](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/running-tests-locally/) for the full invocation surface including Docker-based cross-engine runs.
+
+## Setup files that matter
+
+Four files drive your test setup. Knowing what each one does saves a lot of head-scratching when a test passes in isolation but fails in the suite.
+
+| File | What it does |
+|------|--------------|
+| `tests/TestRunner.cfc` | Sets up shared state. Runs before and after the whole suite. |
+| `tests/populate.cfm` | Seeds test data. Runs **once per test run**, not per spec. |
+| `tests/_assets/models/` | Test-only models, often using `tableName()` to map to test tables. |
+| `tests/specs/<category>/` | Where your actual specs live. |
+
+`populate.cfm` typically drops and recreates the test schema — it's idempotent by construction but runs exactly once per `wheels test run` invocation (or when you hit the runner URL with `?populate=true`). This is a deliberate departure from Rails/Laravel-style per-spec rollback: the framework default is `transactionMode = "none"`, so writes persist across specs unless you explicitly wrap them in `transaction { ... transaction action="rollback"; }`. [Fixtures & Test Data](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/fixtures-and-test-data/) walks through the real lifecycle and the per-spec isolation pattern.
+
+## CI integration
+
+The Wheels repo ships with GitHub Actions workflows that run the full engine × database matrix on every PR. Your app's CI doesn't need to be nearly that heavy. A single job that runs `wheels test run --ci` against one engine and one database is usually enough. See [CI Integration](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/ci-integration/) for drop-in templates, cross-engine matrix patterns, browser-test gating, and soft-fail database handling.

+title: Integration Tests
+description: Multi-model and multi-step workflow tests — exercising real persistence and routing through several requests.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 5
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+Integration tests cover the journeys a user actually takes — signup, login, creating content, interacting with another user's record. They span multiple controllers, touch multiple models, and use the same `TestClient` as controller tests, but they chain several requests on one session and assert on the database state at the end. This page walks the canonical patterns: multi-step workflows, cookie-jar semantics, cross-controller routes, and per-spec rollback.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- What integration tests exercise that unit and controller tests don't
+- How the `TestClient` cookie jar carries session state across requests
+- How to assert on database state after a workflow, not just the last HTTP response
+- How to isolate destructive specs with a manual transaction rollback
+- When a flow genuinely needs a browser test instead
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know BDD basics and the `TestClient` API. See [Model Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/model-tests/) and [Controller Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/controller-tests/).
+</Aside>
+
+## The test-type spectrum
+
+Integration tests sit between single-controller tests and full browser tests. Pick the level that matches what you're actually trying to exercise — cheaper tests are faster and more stable, but they can't prove a flow end-to-end.
+
+| Level | What it exercises | Speed | When |
+|-------|-------------------|-------|------|
+| Model test | One model in isolation | Fast | validations, callbacks, custom methods |
+| Controller test | One action + dependencies | Fast | response shape, filters, params |
+| **Integration test** | **Multi-step, multi-model, multi-request** | **Medium** | **workflows, cross-controller feature flows** |
+| Functional test | Full request lifecycle end-to-end | Medium-Slow | feature slice, middleware effects |
+| Browser test | UI-driven, real browser | Slowest | JS behaviour, Turbo flows, visual regressions |
+
+A good suite leans heavy on model and controller tests, with a handful of integration tests covering the load-bearing flows (signup, checkout, permission boundaries) and browser tests reserved for JavaScript-dependent behaviour.
+
+## A multi-step workflow spec
+
+The canonical shape: one `it` per user journey, with a single `$testClient()` reused across every step. The cookie jar is what makes the flow work — the login in step two carries through to step three automatically.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/integration/ContentCreationSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("New-user content creation flow", () => {
+            it("supports signup through first comment", () => {
+                var client = $testClient();
+
+                // signup
+                client.post("/users", {"user[email]": "a@a.com", "user[password]": "secret"})
+                    .assertRedirect(to="/login");
+
+                // login — cookie jar captures the session
+                client.post("/login", {"session[email]": "a@a.com", "session[password]": "secret"})
+                    .assertRedirect();
+
+                // create a post
+                client.post("/posts", {"post[title]": "Hello", "post[body]": "World"})
+                    .assertRedirect();
+
+                // find the post in the database, then comment on it
+                var post = model("Post").findOne(where="title='Hello'");
+                client.post("/posts/##post.id##/comments", {"comment[author]": "Me", "comment[body]": "First"})
+                    .assertOk();
+
+                expect(post.commentCount()).toBe(1);
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Four things to notice:
+
+- **One client, four requests.** The `client` variable holds session state across the whole journey — logging in on request two means requests three and four are authenticated.
+- **Chained assertions.** Every `TestClient` method returns `this`, so `.post(...).assertRedirect()` reads naturally.
+- **Database lookup mid-flow.** After the create redirect, the spec pulls the new row out of the DB to get its primary key, then uses that key in the next URL. The response body isn't enough — the id lives in the `Location` header or the database.
+- **Final assertion on DB state.** `commentCount()` is the proof; a 200 on `POST /comments` only says the action didn't crash, not that the association saved.
+
+## Cookie jar semantics
+
+One `$testClient()` instance holds session state across every request in the spec. Multiple clients in one spec represent multiple users — useful when the behaviour under test is "user B can't touch user A's data".
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/integration/OwnershipSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Ownership enforcement", () => {
+            it("prevents user B from editing user A's post", () => {
+                // populate.cfm sets up alice (id=1) with post id=1, bob (id=2)
+
+                var bobClient = $testClient();
+                bobClient.post("/login", {"session[email]": "bob@ex.com", "session[password]": "x"})
+                    .assertRedirect();
+                bobClient.get("/posts/1/edit")
+                    .assertRedirect(to="/posts");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+For an A-vs-B interaction test, build two clients and log each in separately — the pattern scales to any number of actors. A fresh `$testClient()` always starts with an empty cookie jar, so there's no bleed between users in the same spec.
+
+## Asserting on DB state
+
+After a workflow, the persistence side is the authoritative check. A 302 redirect only says the controller thought the save succeeded; a record in the database says it actually did.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/integration/PostPersistenceSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Post creation", () => {
+            it("persists a post after the create action", () => {
+                $testClient().post("/posts", {"post[title]": "T", "post[body]": "B"})
+                    .assertRedirect();
+
+                expect(model("Post").count()).toBe(1);
+                var post = model("Post").findOne(where="title='T'");
+                expect(post.body).toBe("B");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The pattern: run the workflow, then reach into the model layer with `count()`, `findOne()`, or a scope to confirm the intended rows exist with the intended values. Silent failures — a callback that swallowed an exception, a filter that dropped a param, an association that didn't cascade — don't surface in the HTTP status. The DB assertion catches them.
+
+## Per-spec transaction isolation
+
+`transactionMode` defaults to `none`, so writes persist between specs. `populate.cfm` only runs once per test run, not between `it`s. For a destructive spec that shouldn't leak data into the next one, wrap the work in a manual transaction and roll back at the end.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/integration/RollbackSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Destructive spec", () => {
+            it("rolls back writes on completion", () => {
+                transaction {
+                    try {
+                        $testClient().post("/posts", {"post[title]": "Temp", "post[body]": "B"})
+                            .assertRedirect();
+                        expect(model("Post").count()).toBeGT(0);
+                    } finally {
+                        transaction action="rollback";
+                    }
+                }
+
+                expect(model("Post").count(where="title='Temp'")).toBe(0);
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The `finally` block is what makes this safe: even if an assertion fails midway, the rollback still runs and the next spec sees a clean table. Cross-link to [Fixtures & Test Data](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/fixtures-and-test-data/) for the full fixture-lifecycle pattern — when to use rollback, when to use populate data, when to seed per-spec.
+
+## Cross-controller workflows
+
+Integration tests often span the controllers a user journey actually crosses — `Users` (signup) → `Sessions` (login) → `Posts` (create) → `Comments` (add). Test the journey, not the individual controllers; let the controller-test page own single-action assertions. A good heuristic: if the spec's name reads like a verb phrase the user would say ("signs up, posts, and comments"), it's an integration test. If it reads like a dispatch detail ("redirects anonymous users from the edit page"), it's a controller test.
+
+The payoff: one integration test catches regressions across every controller it touches. When the login flow breaks because `SessionsController` started clearing a cookie too eagerly, the signup-through-comment spec turns red — even though it doesn't mention `SessionsController` anywhere.
+
+## Common patterns
+
+- **One spec = one user journey.** Multiple journeys go in separate `it` blocks inside the same `describe`.
+- **Reuse `$testClient()` throughout a spec.** Its cookie jar *is* the session state — building a fresh client drops the login.
+- **Build a fresh `$testClient()` per distinct user.** Two clients = two actors; don't try to share one and juggle cookies manually.
+- **`populate.cfm` handles common setup; the spec handles journey-specific data.** Users, roles, permissions — populate. The post Alice creates in this specific journey — the spec.
+- **Assert on DB state at the end, not just the HTTP response.** Silent failures in callbacks and filters don't surface in a 302.
+- **Extract the `Location` header when a flow needs to follow a redirect.** `TestClient` never auto-follows — `headers()["Location"]` gives you the target to hit next.
+
+## When to prefer a browser test instead
+
+Integration tests are faster than browser tests but can't exercise JavaScript. If the flow depends on `data-turbo-frame` swapping, client-side validation, a form that submits via fetch, or anything that renders after the initial HTML, write a browser test — the `TestClient` sees only the HTML the server first shipped, not whatever the browser turned it into. For pure server-rendered flows — a classic form POST followed by a redirect — integration tests cover the same ground an order of magnitude faster. Reach for the browser suite only when the behaviour genuinely lives in the browser.

+
+Model tests are the bulk of a healthy suite. A single spec file mirrors a single model — its validations, callbacks, custom methods, associations, and scopes. They run fast (no HTTP, no rendering) and give precise failure messages when a rule breaks. This page walks the BDD patterns for each category, the isolation model between specs, and the traps that catch people out.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The canonical shape of a model spec — `describe`, `it`, `expect`
+- How to assert validations — presence, length, uniqueness
+- How to test callbacks that mutate a record before or after save
+- How to exercise custom model methods, associations, and scopes
+- How WheelsTest handles database state between specs
+- The common pitfalls that cause "works alone, fails in the suite" failures
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how to define a model. See [Models and the ORM](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/models-and-the-orm/). For the BDD basics — where specs live, how the runner boots — see [Testing](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Minimal spec shape
+
+Every model spec is a CFC under `tests/specs/models/` that extends `wheels.WheelsTest`. The `run()` method holds one or more `describe` blocks, each grouping related `it` assertions.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Post", () => {
+            it("requires a title", () => {
+                var post = model("Post").new(body="some body");
+                expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+                expect(post.errorsOn("title")).toBeArray();
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Three things to note:
+
+- The spec extends `wheels.WheelsTest` — the BDD base. The legacy `wheels.Test` is the RocketUnit runner and doesn't have `describe`, `it`, or `expect`.
+- `model("Post").new(...)` builds an in-memory instance; it never touches the database. Calling `.valid()` runs the validation pass and returns a boolean.
+- `errorsOn("title")` returns an array of error messages for that property. `toBeArray()` asserts the return shape — the matcher resolves to a type check via the dynamic matcher protocol.
+
+## Testing validations
+
+Validations are the easiest category to test: build a record that should fail, assert `.valid()` returns `false`, then confirm an error landed on the expected property.
+
+### Presence
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"
+describe("Post validations", () => {
+    it("requires a title", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").new(body="body text");
+        expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+        expect(post.errorsOn("title")).toBeArray();
+    });
+
+    it("is valid with a title and body", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").new(title="Hello", body="body");
+        expect(post.valid()).toBeTrue();
+    });
+});
+```
+
+`errorsOn` always returns an array — empty when the property has no errors, populated when it does. `toBeArray` works whether the array is empty or not; to assert at least one error, chain `toHaveLength` or check `ArrayLen()`.
+
+### Length
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"
+describe("Post length rules", () => {
+    it("rejects titles over 120 characters", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").new(title=RepeatString("x", 121), body="body");
+        expect(post.valid()).toBeFalse();
+        expect(post.errorsOn("title")).toBeArray();
+    });
+
+    it("accepts titles at the boundary", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").new(title=RepeatString("x", 120), body="body");
+        expect(post.valid()).toBeTrue();
+    });
+});
+```
+
+Two assertions for every length rule: one just over the boundary, one at the boundary. The boundary case prevents off-by-one regressions when someone "fixes" the rule later.
+
+### Uniqueness
+
+Uniqueness is the first rule that has to touch the database — the model queries for a duplicate before reporting the error. Create one record, then try to build a second with the same value.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"
+describe("Post uniqueness", () => {
+    it("rejects a duplicate slug", () => {
+        model("Post").create(title="First", body="B", slug="hello");
+        var dup = model("Post").new(title="Second", body="B", slug="hello");
+        expect(dup.valid()).toBeFalse();
+        expect(dup.errorsOn("slug")).toBeArray();
+    });
+});
+```
+
+`create(...)` builds and saves in one call — it returns the saved object whether the save succeeded or not, so check `.persisted()` if you need to be sure.
+
+## Testing callbacks
+
+Callbacks run around save, update, and delete. To test one, trigger the lifecycle event and check the side effect. A `beforeSave` that generates a slug from the title is a classic case:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"
+describe("Post callbacks", () => {
+    it("generates slug from title on create", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").create(title="Hello World", body="B");
+        expect(post.slug).toBe("hello-world");
+    });
+
+    it("does not overwrite an explicit slug", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").create(title="Hello World", body="B", slug="custom");
+        expect(post.slug).toBe("custom");
+    });
+});
+```
+
+`toBe` compares by value equality (Wheels' matcher calls CFML's `isEqual` under the hood), so it works cleanly for strings, numbers, and booleans. For deep equality on arrays and structs, `toBe` still works — the underlying comparison recurses.
+
+## Testing custom methods
+
+Any public function you add to a model is testable the same way. Build an instance, call the method, assert the return value.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"
+describe("Post##isPublished", () => {
+    it("returns true for published posts with a past publishedAt", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").new(status="published", publishedAt=Now());
+        expect(post.isPublished()).toBeTrue();
+    });
+
+    it("returns false for draft posts", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").new(status="draft", publishedAt=Now());
+        expect(post.isPublished()).toBeFalse();
+    });
+
+    it("returns false for future publishedAt", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").new(status="published", publishedAt=DateAdd("d", 1, Now()));
+        expect(post.isPublished()).toBeFalse();
+    });
+});
+```
+
+One `it` per branch of the method. When the method grows a fourth case, you add a fourth `it`; the first three don't move.
+
+## Testing associations
+
+Associations generate methods on the parent record (`post.comments()`, `post.createComment(...)`, `post.commentCount()`) and in many cases cascade to the child (`dependent="delete"`). Exercise both sides.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"
+describe("Post associations", () => {
+    it("counts comments via the association", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").create(title="T", body="B", status="published");
+        post.createComment(author="Alice", body="C1");
+        post.createComment(author="Bob", body="C2");
+        expect(post.commentCount()).toBe(2);
+    });
+
+    it("deletes comments when the post is deleted with dependent=delete", () => {
+        var post = model("Post").create(title="T", body="B", status="published");
+        post.createComment(author="Alice", body="C1");
+        post.createComment(author="Bob", body="C2");
+        post.delete();
+        expect(model("Comment").count(where="postId=##post.id##")).toBe(0);
+    });
+});
+```
+
+<Aside type="caution">
+  `model("Post").findAll()` returns a CFML **query object**, not an array. `post.comments()` does the same. Loop with `<cfloop query="...">` or read `.recordCount`; do not try to treat it as an array. This is pitfall ##2 below.
+</Aside>
+
+## Testing scopes
+
+Scopes are reusable query fragments declared in `config()`. Named scopes and enum-generated scopes both chain off the model class and return a query builder — assert against `.count()` or `.get().recordCount`.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/models/PostSpec.cfc"
+describe("Post scopes", () => {
+    it("published() returns only published posts", () => {
+        model("Post").create(title="Live", body="B", status="published");
+        model("Post").create(title="Wip", body="B", status="draft");
+        expect(model("Post").published().count()).toBe(1);
+        expect(model("Post").draft().count()).toBe(1);
+    });
+
+    it("composes scopes with additional conditions", () => {
+        model("Post").create(title="Live1", body="B", status="published", featured=true);
+        model("Post").create(title="Live2", body="B", status="published", featured=false);
+        expect(model("Post").published().where("featured", true).count()).toBe(1);
+    });
+});
+```
+
+`published()` and `draft()` above are auto-generated from `enum(property="status", values="draft,published,archived")`. Named scopes declared with `scope(name="active", where="...")` work identically.
+
+## Test isolation
+
+WheelsTest does not wrap each `it` in a transaction. The database state carries across specs within a run. Two mechanisms keep things predictable:
+
+- **`tests/populate.cfm` runs once at the start of a test run.** It drops the test tables, recreates them, and seeds any baseline data. Every spec in the run sees the same starting schema and seed rows.
+- **Manual transactions inside an `it` block.** When a spec needs to roll back its own writes (for example, to test a delete without poisoning later specs), wrap the work in a `transaction { ... transaction action="rollback"; }` block. The framework's own callback specs use this pattern.
+
+```cfm title="illustrative — do not type"
+it("tests a destructive operation in isolation", () => {
+    transaction {
+        var post = model("Post").create(title="T", body="B");
+        post.delete();
+        expect(model("Post").findByKey(post.id)).toBeFalse();
+        transaction action="rollback";
+    }
+});
+```
+
+The default transaction mode in the test runner is `none` — writes persist across specs unless you roll them back explicitly. If a spec that passes on its own fails when run with the rest of the suite, look for leftover rows from an earlier spec. The [Fixtures & Test Data](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/fixtures-and-test-data/) guide covers the full setup pattern, `populate.cfm` contents, and strategies for keeping specs independent.
+
+## Common pitfalls
+
+- **Mixed positional and named args.** `hasMany("comments", dependent="delete")` looks natural but breaks — Wheels functions can't mix the two styles. Use all-named (`hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete")`) or all-positional (`hasMany("comments")`). This is the single most common source of model spec failures.
+- **Treating `findAll()` as an array.** `model("Post").findAll()` returns a CFML query, not an array. `<cfloop query="posts">` works; `<cfloop array="#posts#">` raises a type error. Check `.recordCount` for size.
+- **Forgetting `.reload()` after a callback writes server-generated columns.** A `beforeCreate` that sets `slug` from a database `DEFAULT` expression, or an `afterSave` that updates a counter, may not be reflected on the in-memory instance. Call `post.reload()` before asserting.
+- **Reaching for matchers that don't exist.** `toEqual`, `toBeTruthy`, and `toBeFalsy` are not shipped — neither is in the matcher set. Use `toBe` for value equality (it wraps `isEqual`, which recurses into structs and arrays), `toBeTrue` or `toBeFalse` for booleans, and `toBeArray` / `toBeStruct` / `toBeQuery` for type checks.

+title: Running Tests Locally
+description: Running the test suite — wheels test CLI, tools/test-local.sh, filtering, Docker cross-engine matrix.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 9
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+The fast path for day-to-day development is Lucee 7 + SQLite, driven by `wheels test run` or the one-shot script `tools/test-local.sh`. Neither needs Docker, neither needs an external database, and both finish in seconds on a warm server. The Docker matrix exists for the other reason you run tests: proving a change works across every engine and every supported database before you push. This page covers both paths, plus the filter knobs, the raw test-runner URL, and the failure modes that eat the most time.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- The fastest way to run the suite — `wheels test run` and `tools/test-local.sh`
+- How to filter by directory or single spec, both from the CLI and the test-runner URL
+- How to drive the Docker cross-engine matrix for pre-merge verification
+- How to target a specific database (SQLite, MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL, H2, CockroachDB)
+- The cross-engine gotchas that bite first-time contributors
+- The common failure modes — `JAVA_HOME` unset, port conflicts, missing Playwright JARs
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know what a spec looks like. See [Model Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/model-tests/) for BDD shape and [Fixtures & Test Data](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/fixtures-and-test-data/) for the populate lifecycle.
+</Aside>
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before either path works, you need a handful of tools on `PATH`:
+
+- **Java 21+** — `brew install openjdk@21` on macOS, your distro's OpenJDK package on Linux, Adoptium on Windows.
+- **`JAVA_HOME` set** — LuCLI's preflight refuses to start if this is unset and points you at Adoptium. Set it in your shell profile (`export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)` on macOS).
+- **The `wheels` CLI** — `brew install lucli`, `choco install lucli`, or the install script on Linux. This gives you the `wheels` command that wraps the LuCLI runtime.
+- **SQLite** — usually pre-installed; `brew install sqlite` if not. Needed for the default test database.
+- **Docker Desktop or Docker Engine** — only if you're running the cross-engine matrix.
+
+```bash {test:cli cmd="wheels --version" asserts-stdout="Wheels"}
+wheels --version
+```
+
+## The fastest path — `wheels test run`
+
+`wheels test run` is the single command you'll use most often. It detects a running Wheels server, reloads the app, hits the test runner, and prints pass/fail counts to your terminal. No Docker, no ceremony.
+
+```bash title="your shell — in the wheels repo root"
+# Run the full suite
+wheels test run
+
+# Filter by directory (positional or --filter)
+wheels test run model
+wheels test run --filter=controller
+
+# Pick a reporter — simple (default), verbose, or machine-readable
+wheels test run --reporter=verbose
+
+# Target a specific test database
+wheels test run --db=mysql
+
+# CI-friendly output (exits non-zero on failures, terse pass/fail summary)
+wheels test run --ci
+```
+
+The supported flags today are `--filter=<dir>`, `--reporter=<name>`, `--db=<sqlite|h2|mysql|postgres|sqlserver|oracle|cockroachdb>`, `--verbose` / `-v`, `--ci`, and `--core` (force framework-core mode when the auto-detect doesn't pick it up). A positional argument acts as the filter. The CLI always requests JSON from the underlying runner and formats the result for the chosen reporter; there is no raw `--format=json` or `--reporter=tap` flag on `wheels test run` at the time of writing.
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  When `vendor/wheels/tests/` exists (you're hacking on framework core), `wheels test run` auto-enables `--core`. Pass `--core` explicitly if you want to force it.
+</Aside>
+
+## LuCLI one-shot: `tools/test-local.sh`
+
+`tools/test-local.sh` is the script every framework contributor runs before pushing. It does everything `wheels test run` does, plus: creates the two SQLite test databases (`wheelstestdb.db` and `wheelstestdb_tenant_b.db`), starts a disposable LuCLI server on port 8080 if one isn't already up, downloads the SQLite JDBC driver into LuCLI's `lib/ext` if missing, runs the tests, parses the JSON, and prints coloured pass/fail output. On exit it stops the server if it started one.
+
+```bash title="your shell — in the wheels repo root"
+bash tools/test-local.sh              # run all core tests
+bash tools/test-local.sh model        # run model specs only
+bash tools/test-local.sh security     # run security specs only
+bash tools/test-local.sh browser      # run browser specs (Playwright JARs required)
+```
+
+The script accepts these short aliases as the first argument: `model` / `models`, `controller` / `controllers`, `view` / `views`, `security`, `middleware`, `dispatch`, `migrator`. Anything else is passed through as a literal directory path (dot-notation, rooted at `wheels.tests.specs.`).
+
+Environment knobs:
+
+- `PORT=9090 bash tools/test-local.sh` — use a non-default port (handy when 8080 is in use).
+- `DB=mysql bash tools/test-local.sh` — run against a different database; you'll need to bring up the container yourself first (see the Docker matrix below).
+- `WHEELS_BROWSER_TEST_BASE_URL` — auto-set to `http://localhost:${PORT}` so browser specs hit the same server the script starts. Override it if you're pointing browser tests at a different host.
+
+## The test-runner URL
+
+When you need to iterate on a single spec file without rebooting anything — fastest inner loop — hit the test runner directly over HTTP. This is what `wheels test run` and `tools/test-local.sh` call under the hood.
+
+```bash title="direct HTTP access (dev server running)"
+# Run everything
+curl "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json"
+
+# Filter by directory
+curl "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json&directory=wheels.tests.specs.model"
+
+# Filter to a single spec file — fastest iteration loop
+curl "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json&directory=wheels.tests.specs.model.postSpec"
+
+# Skip populate when iterating on one spec and the schema is already in place
+curl "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json&populate=false&directory=wheels.tests.specs.model.postSpec"
+```
+
+The `populate=false` query param is the trick that makes tight inner loops possible. Populate drops and recreates every test table — a second or two on SQLite but much slower on networked databases. Once the schema is in place for the run, skipping populate shaves the wait down to just your specs executing.
+
+## Filtering tests
+
+The runner accepts filters at every layer. Pick whichever matches your workflow.
+
+| Method | How |
+|--------|-----|
+| By directory (CLI) | `wheels test run model` or `wheels test run --filter=controller` |
+| By directory (script) | `bash tools/test-local.sh model` |
+| By directory (URL) | `&directory=wheels.tests.specs.model` |
+| By single spec file (URL) | `&directory=wheels.tests.specs.model.postSpec` |
+| Skip in source | `xdescribe("...", ...)` / `xit("...", ...)` — built into WheelsTest |
+| Skip the whole populate | `&populate=false` on the URL (schema must already exist) |
+
+WheelsTest does not ship tag-based include/exclude filtering at this release. Use directory filtering plus `xdescribe` / `xit` in the spec source when you need finer control.
+
+## Docker cross-engine matrix
+
+Every Wheels release ships compose services for the supported engines in `compose.yml` at the repo root. The services share a bind-mounted copy of the repo, so there's nothing to rebuild when you edit code — just hit the port.
+
+```bash title="your shell — in the wheels repo root"
+# Start Lucee 7 + Adobe 2025 (minimum for a cross-engine check)
+docker compose up -d lucee7 adobe2025
+
+# Wait ~60s for startup, then run both
+curl -s -o /tmp/lucee7.json   "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json"
+curl -s -o /tmp/adobe2025.json "http://localhost:62025/wheels/core/tests?db=sqlite&format=json"
+
+# Summarize
+for f in /tmp/lucee7.json /tmp/adobe2025.json; do
+  python3 -c "
+import json
+d = json.load(open('$f'))
+print('$f', d['totalPass'], 'pass', d['totalFail'], 'fail', d['totalError'], 'error')
+"
+done
+```
+
+The service names and ports:
+
+| Engine | Service | Port |
+|--------|---------|------|
+| Lucee 5 | `lucee5` | 60005 |
+| Lucee 6 | `lucee6` | 60006 |
+| Lucee 7 | `lucee7` | 60007 |
+| Adobe 2018 | `adobe2018` | 62018 |
+| Adobe 2021 | `adobe2021` | 62021 |
+| Adobe 2023 | `adobe2023` | 62023 |
+| Adobe 2025 | `adobe2025` | 62025 |
+| BoxLang | `boxlang` | 60001 |
+
+<Aside type="tip">
+  At minimum, run one Lucee and one Adobe before pushing. Their runtime behaviours diverge in ways pure-Lucee tests don't catch — struct member functions, application scope, closure `this` capture, bracket-notation function calls.
+</Aside>
+
+## Testing against specific databases
+
+Each engine ships with H2 and SQLite baked in. Every other database is a separate compose service you bring up alongside the engine. The compose file ships `mysql`, `postgres` (in `docker-compose.db-postgres.yml`), `mssql`, and `h2` overlays — start the ones you need.
+
+```bash title="your shell — multi-database"
+# Start Lucee 7 + MySQL
+docker compose up -d lucee7 mysql
+
+# Run against MySQL
+curl -sf "http://localhost:60007/wheels/core/tests?db=mysql&format=json"
+```
+
+Supported `db` values on the URL: `sqlite` (default for the script and local runs), `h2` (default on some engines), `mysql`, `postgres`, `sqlserver`, `oracle`, `cockroachdb`. CockroachDB is currently soft-failed in CI — failures log warnings but don't block the build.
+
+## Cross-engine gotchas
+
+These are the runtime differences that catch first-time framework contributors. Each one has stung a real PR.
+
+- **`struct.map()`** — Lucee and Adobe resolve `obj.map()` as the built-in struct member function, not your CFC method. Use a different name (`mapInstance()`) or call the method via bracket notation.
+- **`application` scope members** — Adobe CF does not support function members on the `application` scope. Pass a plain struct context into closures instead.
+- **Closure `this` capture** — CFML closures capture `this` from the declaring scope at definition time. Share references across closures with `var ctx = { ref: obj }` rather than reassigning `this`.
+- **Bracket-notation function calls inside closures** — Adobe CF 2021 and 2023 parsers crash on `obj["key"]()` inside a closure. Split into two statements: `var fn = obj["key"]; fn();`.
+- **Array by-value in struct literals on Adobe** — Adobe copies arrays by value in `{ arr = myArray }`. Closures that append to the copy don't affect the original. Reference via a parent struct: `{ owner = parent }` then `owner.arr`.
+- **`private` mixin functions not integrated** — the framework's `$integrateComponents()` copies only `public` methods into model and controller objects. Helpers in mixin CFCs (e.g., `vendor/wheels/model/*.cfc`) must use `public` access with a `$` prefix for scoping. `private` may pass BoxLang and fail Lucee and Adobe.
+
+## Common failure modes
+
+These are the errors you'll actually hit. Fix-ups first, diagnosis second.
+
+- **`JAVA_HOME` unset** — LuCLI's preflight refuses to start and prints a pointer to Adoptium. Set `JAVA_HOME` in your shell profile and re-source.
+- **Docker daemon not running** — `docker compose up` fails with `Cannot connect to the Docker daemon`. Start Docker Desktop (macOS, Windows) or `systemctl start docker` (Linux).
+- **Port already in use** — `docker compose up` fails with `bind: address already in use` or a local `wheels start` is already on the port. Find the holder with `lsof -i :60007` and stop it.
+- **Playwright JARs missing** — browser specs skip with `this.browserTestSkipped = true` instead of failing, so the suite stays green. Run `wheels browser install` once to install the JARs and Chromium.
+- **Populate SQL errors** — read the error. "Table already exists" means a stale table from a previous engine-specific run; add a `DROP TABLE IF EXISTS` first. "Syntax error near CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" means cross-engine SQL drift; use `NOW()` — it works on every supported engine.
+- **Flaky `wheels new` in parallel harness runs** — a known LuCLI race (framework gap tracker #11). Retry once, or serialize the runs until the fix lands.
+- **Server not responding after `compose up`** — engines need 30–90 seconds to cold-start. `curl -I http://localhost:60007/` returns connection-refused until the engine is ready. If it stays down after two minutes, check `docker compose logs <service>`.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Clean up is cheap but easy to forget. Left-over SQLite files and running containers are the usual culprits behind "why did my next run behave weirdly".
+
+```bash title="your shell"
+# Stop all engine containers
+docker compose down
+
+# Purge SQLite test databases between runs
+rm -f wheelstestdb.db wheelstestdb_tenant_b.db
+
+# Stop any local LuCLI server the script started
+lucli server stop
+```

+title: View & Form Tests
+description: Testing rendered view output and form helpers — body assertions, the data-auto-id attribute for stable selectors.
+type: howto
+sidebar:
+  order: 4
+---
+
+import { Aside, CardGrid, LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+
+View tests pin the HTML your app actually sends to the browser. A controller spec confirms the right action ran and returned the right status; a view test confirms the response body contains the right markup — a heading, an error message, a form field with a stable selector. Because `TestClient` is a real HTTP client, the view renders through the full controller-action-view pipeline, so view tests are integration tests against real output, not abstract render calls.
+
+**You'll learn:**
+
+- How to render a view inside a spec via `TestClient`
+- How to assert on rendered HTML with `assertSee`, `assertDontSee`, and `assertSeeInOrder`
+- The form-helper id conventions and the `data-auto-id` attribute for stable selectors
+- When to reach for `content()` and structural matchers versus substring assertions
+- When a string-based assertion is enough and when you want a browser test instead
+
+<Aside type="note">
+  You should already know how views and form helpers work. See [Views, Layouts, Partials](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/views-layouts-partials/) and [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/). For the testing runtime — `describe`, `it`, the `TestClient` API — see [Controller Tests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/controller-tests/).
+</Aside>
+
+## Rendering a view inside a spec
+
+The primary approach is to drive a real request through `TestClient` and assert on the response body. Every controller spec that touches `assertSee` is already doing this — so is every view spec. The difference is intent: a controller spec pins status and redirects; a view spec pins rendered markup.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/views/PostsIndexSpec.cfc"
+component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
+    function run() {
+        describe("Posts index view", () => {
+            it("renders the page header", () => {
+                $testClient().get("/posts").assertOk().assertSee("<h1>Posts</h1>");
+            });
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The call chain is tight: `$testClient()` builds a client pre-wired to the running server, `get("/posts")` dispatches the request, `assertOk()` confirms a 200, `assertSee("...")` confirms the substring appears in the response body. Every assertion returns `this`, so you can chain as far as the spec needs.
+
+## Asserting on rendered output
+
+`TestClient` ships three body assertions. Pick the one that expresses the smallest pin for the behavior you care about.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/views/PostsIndexSpec.cfc"
+it("shows expected content and hides drafts", () => {
+    $testClient().get("/posts")
+        .assertOk()
+        .assertSee("Latest Posts")
+        .assertSee("First post")
+        .assertDontSee("Unpublished draft");
+});
+```
+
+`assertSee` is a substring match — the text must appear somewhere in the body. `assertDontSee` confirms absence. Both are case-sensitive.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/views/PostsIndexSpec.cfc"
+it("renders posts in reverse chronological order", () => {
+    $testClient().get("/posts")
+        .assertOk()
+        .assertSeeInOrder(["Newest post", "Older post", "Oldest post"]);
+});
+```
+
+`assertSeeInOrder` checks that each string appears in the body **and** in the given order — useful for asserting sort order without parsing HTML. It walks the body forward; later items only need to appear after earlier matches.
+
+When the assertion you want isn't covered by the shortcuts, pull the body with `content()` and use the full `expect` matcher set:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/views/PostsIndexSpec.cfc"
+it("renders exactly five article tags", () => {
+    var client = $testClient();
+    client.get("/posts").assertOk();
+    var body = client.content();
+    expect(body).toInclude("<article");
+    expect(body).toMatch("<article[^>]*>.*?Newest post.*?<\/article>");
+});
+```
+
+`toInclude` is the `expect` version of `assertSee`. `toMatch` takes a regex — reach for it when a substring match would be too loose and parsing the HTML would be overkill.
+
+## Testing partials via controller actions
+
+`TestClient` is an HTTP client, not a view renderer — there's no `renderPartial()` call you make from a spec. You test partials through the action that renders them. For Turbo Frame responses, drive the request with a `Turbo-Frame` or `Accept` header and assert on the fragment:
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/views/PostsTurboSpec.cfc"
+it("renders a turbo-frame response when validation fails", () => {
+    $testClient()
+        .withHeader("Accept", "text/vnd.turbo-stream.html")
+        .post("/posts", {"post[title]": "", "post[body]": "B"})
+        .assertOk()
+        .assertSee("turbo-frame");
+});
+```
+
+Same pattern for a shared `_form.cfm` partial rendered by both `new` and `edit`: drive through the actions, assert on the fields you expect both to render. One spec pair covers both code paths without coupling to the partial's internal structure.
+
+## Form helpers — the dual-id convention
+
+Object-bound form helpers (see [Forms and Form Helpers](/v4-0-0-snapshot/basics/forms-and-form-helpers/)) emit **two** identifiers on every field: a dashed `id="post-title"` for DOM labels and CSS, and an underscore `data-auto-id="post_title"` for test selectors. A call like `textField(objectName="post", property="title")` generates both:
+
+```html title="illustrative — rendered HTML"
+<input type="text" name="post[title]" id="post-title" data-auto-id="post_title">
+```
+
+The companion attribute exists because every other major framework — Rails, Django, Laravel — uses the underscore convention. Developers write browser tests targeting `#post_title`, then spend hours chasing a silent selector miss against Wheels' dashed id. The dual emission lets tests target either. It's controlled by `set(formHelperDataAutoId=true)` in `config/settings.cfm` — on by default, and tag-style helpers (`textFieldTag`, `selectTag`) don't emit it because their ids are already plain names.
+
+In a view spec, pinning `data-auto-id` is usually the better selector: the underscore form stays stable even if the form template gets renamed, and it matches whatever the browser-test suite targets.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/views/PostsFormSpec.cfc"
+it("emits both dash-id and data-auto-id on form fields", () => {
+    $testClient().get("/posts/new")
+        .assertOk()
+        .assertSee("id=""post-title""")
+        .assertSee("data-auto-id=""post_title""");
+});
+```
+
+The doubled quotes are CFML string-literal escapes — `""post_title""` renders as `"post_title"` in the sent assertion.
+
+## Snapshot-style matching — don't
+
+A common impulse is to snapshot the full rendered page and assert the body matches byte-for-byte. Don't. Full-page snapshots break on every template edit — adding a class, reordering a nav item, bumping a date all cause a diff that has nothing to do with the behavior the spec is supposed to pin. Maintenance cost dominates.
+
+The pattern every example on this page uses instead: pin the smallest meaningful substring. A heading, a field selector, an error message, the specific piece of content that proves the action did the right thing. Substrings survive style rewrites; snapshots don't.
+
+## Testing the form submission round-trip
+
+A useful single-spec pattern: render the form, submit it, follow the redirect, assert the show page renders the new record. Three requests on one client to cover the whole create flow — the route, the validation, and the render.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/views/PostsCreateSpec.cfc"
+it("round-trips through new → create → show", () => {
+    var client = $testClient();
+
+    // 1. Render the form — confirm the stable selector is present.
+    client.get("/posts/new")
+        .assertOk()
+        .assertSee("data-auto-id=""post_title""");
+
+    // 2. Submit — expect a redirect to the show page.
+    client.post("/posts", {"post[title]": "Hello", "post[body]": "World"})
+        .assertRedirect();
+
+    // 3. Follow the redirect manually — TestClient does not auto-follow.
+    var target = client.headers()["Location"] ?: "";
+    client.get(target).assertOk().assertSee("<h1>Hello</h1>");
+});
+```
+
+`assertRedirect()` with no argument asserts a 3xx response without pinning the target path. Read the `Location` header off `client.headers()` and request it explicitly — the spec is about what the user sees after the redirect, not the intermediate 302.
+
+## Testing inline validation errors
+
+When a form fails validation, the controller re-renders `new` with the model's error state. `errorMessagesFor()` writes the messages inline; your spec asserts they appear in the body and that the form still emits the stable `data-auto-id` selector so the user (and subsequent tests) can still interact with the fields.
+
+```cfm {test:compile} title="tests/specs/views/PostsCreateSpec.cfc"
+it("re-renders the form with inline validation errors", () => {
+    $testClient()
+        .post("/posts", {"post[title]": "", "post[body]": "Body text"})
+        .assertOk()
+        .assertSee("can&##39;t be empty")
+        .assertSee("data-auto-id=""post_title""");
+});
+```
+
+The `&##39;` is the HTML-encoded apostrophe Wheels emits in error messages — `"can't be empty"` becomes `"can&##39;t be empty"` after encoding. Assert on the encoded form, not the raw text, because that's what's in the response body.
+
+## Browser tests vs `assertSee`
+
+`assertSee` is fast, deterministic, and doesn't need a browser — it's the right tool for pinning the output of a server-rendered page. It's not the right tool for anything that requires JavaScript to run: Turbo Drive navigation across pages, Stimulus controller state, a rich-text editor, or a form that submits via `fetch`. For those, reach for a [Browser Test](/v4-0-0-snapshot/testing/browser-tests/) — they drive a real Chromium through Playwright and interact with the DOM after JavaScript has run.
+
+The split that tends to work in practice: view tests pin static HTML and form-helper conventions; browser tests cover the interactive flows. The two complement each other — a browser test confirms a Turbo Frame swaps correctly; a view test confirms the frame markup is present in the initial render.
+
+## When to skip view tests
+
+If you have a browser test that covers the same flow end-to-end, most view-output assertions become redundant. Keep view tests for:
+
+- **Static pages** — marketing copy, error pages, the login form. No JavaScript, no state; a substring assertion proves everything the spec needs to prove.
+- **Form-helper regression checks** — the `data-auto-id` attribute must keep emitting, the error-display partial must keep rendering errors. A view spec catches a helper refactor that breaks the convention in milliseconds; a browser spec would take seconds and obscure the root cause.
+- **Error-message presence** — `assertSee("can&##39;t be empty")` after a bad POST is faster than driving a browser through the form.
+
+Anything that requires a real DOM, real JavaScript, or real user interaction — Turbo Streams landing correctly, modal dialogs opening, a client-side validator firing — belongs in a browser test.

-title: Config Directory Migration (3.1.0)
-description: Breaking change in Wheels 3.1.0 - Config directory migration
----
-
-# Config Directory Migration (3.1.0)
-
-## Overview
-
-In Wheels 3.1.0, we've made a significant change to improve the framework's structure and make it more intuitive for developers. The configuration directory has been moved from `/app/config` to `/config` at the root level of your application.
-
-### Why This Change?
-
-- **Better Organization**: Configuration files are now at the same level as the `/app` directory, making them easier to find and manage
-- **Industry Standards**: This aligns with common conventions in modern web frameworks
-- **Clearer Separation**: Application code (`/app`) is now clearly separated from configuration (`/config`)
-
-## Breaking Change
-
-This is a **breaking change** that requires action when upgrading to Wheels 3.1.0. Your application will not work correctly until you complete the migration.
-
-### What's Changed
-
-- `/app/config/` → `/config/`
-- All configuration files (settings.cfm, routes.cfm, etc.) must be moved
-- All references to the old path must be updated
-
-## Migration Methods
-
-### Method 1: Automated Migration (Recommended)
-
-We provide a CommandBox recipe that automates most of the migration process:
-
-```bash
-# From your application root directory
-box recipe https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wheels-dev/wheels/develop/cli/recipes/config-migration.boxr
-```
-
-The recipe will:
-1. Back up any existing `/config` directory
-2. Move `/app/config` to `/config`
-3. Update your `Application.cfc`
-4. Scan for references to the old path
-5. Create a migration log
-
-### Method 2: Manual Migration
-
-If you prefer to migrate manually:
-
-1. **Move the config directory**
-   ```bash
-   mv app/config config
-   ```
-
-2. **Update Application.cfc**
-   
-   Find and replace all occurrences of:
-   - `app/config/` with `config/`
-   - `app\config\` with `config\`
-   - `/app/config` with `/config`
-   - `\app\config` with `\config`
-
-3. **Update your code**
-   
-   Search your entire codebase for references to `app/config` and update them:
-   ```bash
-   # Find all files with references
-   grep -r "app/config" app/ tests/
-   ```
-
-4. **Update any custom scripts or deployment configurations**
-
-## Common Files to Check
-
-Make sure to update references in:
-
-- `Application.cfc`
-- Custom initialization code
-- Deployment scripts
-- Documentation
-- Test files
-- Any hardcoded paths in your models, controllers, or views
-
-## Verification
-
-After migration, verify that:
-
-1. Your application starts without errors
-2. All configuration files are loaded correctly
-3. Routes are working as expected
-4. Database connections are established
-5. All tests pass
-
-## Rollback
-
-If you need to rollback:
-
-1. The automated recipe creates backups:
-   - `Application.cfc.bak` - Your original Application.cfc
-   - `config_backup_[timestamp]` - Any existing /config directory
-
-2. To rollback manually:
-   ```bash
-   # Move config back
-   mv config app/config
-   
-   # Restore Application.cfc from backup
-   mv Application.cfc.bak Application.cfc
-   ```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Application Won't Start
-
-- Ensure `/config` directory exists at the root level
-- Check that all `.cfm` files were moved from `/app/config`
-- Verify Application.cfc has been updated
-- Check for syntax errors in migrated configuration files
-
-### Routes Not Working
-
-- Confirm `/config/routes.cfm` exists
-- Check for any hardcoded paths in your route definitions
-- Verify the file permissions are correct (readable by your web server)
-- Clear any route caching: add `?reload=true` to your URL
-
-### Missing Configuration
-
-- Ensure all files from `/app/config` were moved, including:
-  - `/config/settings.cfm`
-  - `/config/routes.cfm`
-  - `/config/environment.cfm`
-  - `/config/app.cfm`
-  - All environment-specific folders (`development`, `testing`, `production`, `maintenance`)
-- Check for any custom configuration files you may have added
-
-### Tests Failing
-
-- Update test setup files that reference the old config path
-- Check test fixtures and helpers for hardcoded paths
-- Ensure test database configurations are properly migrated
-- Look for any `expandPath()` calls that reference the old path
-
-### Docker/Container Issues
-
-- Update any Docker volume mounts from `/app/config` to `/config`
-- Rebuild containers after making compose.yml changes
-- Check container logs for configuration loading errors
-
-### Common Error Messages
-
-**"Could not find route"**
-- This usually means `/config/routes.cfm` is not being loaded
-- Check the Application.cfc mapping is correct
-- Verify the file exists and has proper permissions
-
-**"Invalid datasource"**
-- Ensure `/config/settings.cfm` contains your datasource configuration
-- Check environment-specific settings files were migrated
-
-**"Component not found"**
-- This may indicate the config mapping in Application.cfc is incorrect
-- Verify the mapping points to `/config` not `/app/config`

-title: Background Jobs
-description: >-
-  Process work asynchronously using Wheels' database-backed job queue with
-  retry logic, priority queues, and exponential backoff.
----
-
-# Background Jobs
-
-Wheels includes a built-in background job system for processing work asynchronously. Jobs are persisted to a database table, support priority queues, and automatically retry with exponential backoff on failure.
-
-Common use cases include sending emails, processing uploads, generating reports, calling external APIs, and any other work that shouldn't block a user's request.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### 1. Run the Migration
-
-First, create the jobs table by running the included migration:
-
-```
-wheels dbmigrate latest
-```
-
-This creates the `wheels_jobs` table. The migration file is at `app/migrator/migrations/20260221000001_createwheels_jobs_table.cfc`.
-
-### 2. Create a Job
-
-Jobs live in `app/jobs/` and extend `wheels.Job`. Override the `perform()` method with your logic:
-
-{% code title="app/jobs/SendWelcomeEmailJob.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="wheels.Job" {
-
-    function config() {
-        super.config();
-        this.queue = "mailers";
-        this.maxRetries = 5;
-    }
-
-    public void function perform(struct data = {}) {
-        sendEmail(
-            to=data.email,
-            from="noreply@example.com",
-            subject="Welcome!",
-            template="/emails/welcome",
-            layout="/emails/layout"
-        );
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### 3. Enqueue from a Controller
-
-```javascript
-function create() {
-    user = model("User").create(params.user);
-
-    if (!user.hasErrors()) {
-        // Enqueue the welcome email job
-        job = new app.jobs.SendWelcomeEmailJob();
-        job.enqueue(data={email: user.email, name: user.firstName});
-
-        redirectTo(action="show", key=user.id, success="Account created!");
-    } else {
-        renderView(action="new");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Process the Queue
-
-Call `processQueue()` from a scheduled task (e.g., every 60 seconds) or a controller action:
-
-```javascript
-// In a scheduled task or admin controller
-job = new wheels.Job();
-result = job.processQueue(queue="mailers", limit=10);
-// result = {processed: 5, failed: 1, errors: [...]}
-```
-
-## Job Configuration
-
-Override `config()` in your job subclass to customize behavior:
-
-```javascript
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-    this.queue = "default";       // Queue name (default: "default")
-    this.priority = 0;            // Higher = processed first
-    this.maxRetries = 3;          // Max retry attempts before marking as failed
-    this.retryBackoff = "exponential"; // Backoff strategy
-    this.timeout = 300;           // Timeout in seconds
-}
-```
-
-## Enqueueing Jobs
-
-### Immediate Processing
-
-```javascript
-job = new app.jobs.ProcessOrderJob();
-job.enqueue(data={orderId: order.id});
-```
-
-### Delayed Processing
-
-```javascript
-// Process after 5 minutes (300 seconds)
-job = new app.jobs.SendReminderJob();
-job.enqueueIn(seconds=300, data={userId: user.id});
-```
-
-### Scheduled Processing
-
-```javascript
-// Process at a specific date/time
-job = new app.jobs.GenerateReportJob();
-job.enqueueAt(runAt=CreateDateTime(2026, 3, 1, 9, 0, 0), data={reportType: "monthly"});
-```
-
-### Overriding Queue and Priority
-
-All enqueue methods accept optional `queue` and `priority` overrides:
-
-```javascript
-job.enqueue(
-    data={email: user.email},
-    queue="urgent",   // Override the default queue
-    priority=10       // Higher priority = processed first
-);
-```
-
-## Retry Logic
-
-When a job's `perform()` method throws an error, Wheels automatically retries it with exponential backoff:
-
-| Attempt | Backoff Delay |
-|---------|---------------|
-| 1st retry | 4 seconds |
-| 2nd retry | 8 seconds |
-| 3rd retry | 16 seconds |
-| 4th retry | 32 seconds |
-| 5th retry | 64 seconds |
-
-The formula is `2^(attempt + 1)` seconds. After exhausting all retries (`maxRetries`), the job is marked as `failed` and moved to the dead letter queue.
-
-## Queue Management
-
-### Queue Statistics
-
-```javascript
-job = new wheels.Job();
-stats = job.queueStats();
-// stats = {pending: 12, processing: 2, completed: 150, failed: 3, total: 167}
-
-// Filter by queue name
-stats = job.queueStats(queue="mailers");
-```
-
-### Retry Failed Jobs
-
-Reset all failed jobs back to `pending` status for reprocessing:
-
-```javascript
-job = new wheels.Job();
-count = job.retryFailed();              // All queues
-count = job.retryFailed(queue="mailers"); // Specific queue
-```
-
-### Purge Completed Jobs
-
-Clean up old completed jobs to keep the table manageable:
-
-```javascript
-job = new wheels.Job();
-count = job.purgeCompleted(days=7);              // Delete completed jobs older than 7 days
-count = job.purgeCompleted(days=30, queue="reports"); // Specific queue
-```
-
-## Processing Jobs
-
-### From a Scheduled Task
-
-The most common approach is to call `processQueue()` from a CFML scheduled task that runs every 30-60 seconds:
-
-{% code title="Scheduled task handler" %}
-```javascript
-job = new wheels.Job();
-
-// Process all queues
-result = job.processQueue(limit=20);
-
-// Or process specific queues with different limits
-result = job.processQueue(queue="urgent", limit=50);
-result = job.processQueue(queue="mailers", limit=10);
-result = job.processQueue(queue="default", limit=5);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### From an Admin Controller
-
-You can also expose a manual trigger for administrators:
-
-```javascript
-// In an admin controller
-function processJobs() {
-    job = new wheels.Job();
-    result = job.processQueue(limit=20);
-
-    redirectTo(
-        action="dashboard",
-        success="Processed #result.processed# jobs (#result.failed# failed)"
-    );
-}
-```
-
-## Job Lifecycle
-
-Each job goes through these statuses:
-
-| Status | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `pending` | Waiting to be processed (including scheduled jobs whose `runAt` hasn't arrived) |
-| `processing` | Currently being executed |
-| `completed` | Finished successfully |
-| `failed` | Exhausted all retries — in the dead letter queue |
-
-## Database Schema
-
-The `wheels_jobs` table contains:
-
-| Column | Type | Description |
-|--------|------|-------------|
-| `id` | string | UUID primary key |
-| `jobClass` | string | Full component path (e.g., `app.jobs.SendWelcomeEmailJob`) |
-| `queue` | string | Queue name |
-| `data` | text | JSON-serialized job data |
-| `priority` | integer | Processing priority (higher = first) |
-| `status` | string | Current status |
-| `attempts` | integer | Number of execution attempts |
-| `maxRetries` | integer | Maximum retry attempts |
-| `lastError` | text | Error message from the last failed attempt |
-| `runAt` | datetime | When the job should be processed |
-| `completedAt` | datetime | When the job completed successfully |
-| `failedAt` | datetime | When the job permanently failed |
-| `createdAt` | datetime | When the job was enqueued |
-| `updatedAt` | datetime | Last status change |
-
-## Job Worker (CLI)
-
-Instead of using scheduled tasks, you can run a persistent job worker daemon from the command line. The worker continuously polls for new jobs and processes them.
-
-### Starting a Worker
-
-```bash
-# Process all queues
-wheels jobs work
-
-# Process specific queues
-wheels jobs work --queue=mailers,default
-
-# Custom poll interval (default: 5 seconds)
-wheels jobs work --interval=3
-
-# Stop after processing 100 jobs
-wheels jobs work --max-jobs=100
-```
-
-Run multiple worker processes for parallelism — each worker claims jobs using optimistic locking, so no duplicates are processed.
-
-### Queue Status
-
-```bash
-# Show per-queue breakdown
-wheels jobs status
-
-# JSON output for scripting
-wheels jobs status --format=json
-
-# Filter by queue
-wheels jobs status --queue=mailers
-```
-
-### Retrying Failed Jobs
-
-```bash
-# Retry all failed jobs
-wheels jobs retry
-
-# Retry only a specific queue
-wheels jobs retry --queue=mailers
-
-# Retry up to 10 jobs
-wheels jobs retry --limit=10
-```
-
-### Purging Old Jobs
-
-```bash
-# Purge completed jobs older than 7 days (default)
-wheels jobs purge
-
-# Purge completed and failed jobs older than 30 days
-wheels jobs purge --completed --failed --older-than=30
-
-# Filter by queue
-wheels jobs purge --queue=reports --older-than=14
-```
-
-### Live Monitoring
-
-```bash
-# Watch the dashboard (refreshes every 3 seconds)
-wheels jobs monitor
-
-# Custom refresh interval
-wheels jobs monitor --interval=5
-
-# Monitor a specific queue
-wheels jobs monitor --queue=mailers
-```
-
-The monitor shows queue counts, throughput, error rates, and recent job activity.
-
-## Configurable Backoff
-
-You can customize the retry backoff behavior per job:
-
-```javascript
-function config() {
-    super.config();
-    this.baseDelay = 2;      // Base delay in seconds (default: 2)
-    this.maxDelay = 3600;    // Maximum delay cap in seconds (default: 3600)
-}
-```
-
-The formula is `baseDelay * 2^attempt`, capped at `maxDelay`:
-
-| Attempt | Delay (default) | Delay (baseDelay=10, maxDelay=600) |
-|---------|----------------|------------------------------------|
-| 1st retry | 4s | 20s |
-| 2nd retry | 8s | 40s |
-| 3rd retry | 16s | 80s |
-| 4th retry | 32s | 160s |
-| 5th retry | 64s | 320s |
-| 6th retry | 128s | 600s (capped) |
-
-## Multi-Tenant Jobs
-
-If you're using [multi-tenancy](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/multi-tenancy/), background jobs automatically capture the current tenant context when enqueued and restore it before `perform()` runs. No extra code is needed.
-
-```javascript
-// Enqueued during a tenant request — context is captured automatically
-job = new app.jobs.GenerateInvoiceJob();
-job.enqueue(data={userId: user.id});
-```
-
-When the job processes (possibly later, on a different server, or outside a web request), Wheels restores the original tenant context so all model queries inside `perform()` run against the correct tenant database.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-The tenant context is stored internally as `$wheelsTenantContext` in the job's data. It's automatically removed before your `perform()` method receives the data struct — you don't need to handle it yourself.
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Keep jobs small and focused**: Each job should do one thing. Chain multiple jobs for complex workflows.
-2. **Make jobs idempotent**: Design `perform()` so it can safely run multiple times (retries will re-execute it).
-3. **Use named queues**: Separate jobs by type (`mailers`, `reports`, `notifications`) so you can process them at different rates.
-4. **Set appropriate priorities**: Use higher priority for time-sensitive jobs (password resets) and lower priority for background work (reports).
-5. **Monitor the queue**: Use `wheels jobs monitor` or `queueStats()` to track queue health and alert on growing `failed` counts.
-6. **Purge old jobs**: Run `wheels jobs purge` or `purgeCompleted()` on a schedule to prevent table bloat.
-7. **Run multiple workers**: For higher throughput, run multiple `wheels jobs work` processes — optimistic locking prevents duplicate processing.
-8. **Handle missing tables gracefully**: If the `wheels_jobs` table doesn't exist yet, `enqueue()` will log a warning and return `persisted=false` instead of throwing an error.

-title: Browser Testing
-description: Write browser tests in CFML using the native Playwright integration...
----
-
-# Browser Testing
-
-Wheels includes native browser testing powered by Playwright Java. Write test specs in CFML that drive a real Chromium browser — no Node.js or TypeScript required.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-This guide covers the **native CFML browser testing** built into the Wheels framework. For the Node.js/TypeScript Playwright approach, see [End-to-End Testing](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/end-to-end-testing/).
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Overview
-
-Browser tests extend `wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest` and use a fluent DSL through `this.browser`. Each `it` block gets a fresh browser context (isolated cookies, storage, sessions).
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
-    function run() {
-        browserDescribe("User login", () => {
-            it("shows the dashboard after login", () => {
-                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
-                this.browser
-                    .visit("/login")
-                    .fill("##email", "alice@example.com")
-                    .fill("##password", "secret")
-                    .click("button[type=submit]")
-                    .assertUrlContains("/dashboard")
-                    .assertSee("Welcome");
-            });
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Installation
-
-Install Playwright JARs and Chromium (~370 MB total, one-time download):
-
-```bash
-wheels browser:install
-```
-
-This downloads 7 JARs from Maven Central and the Chromium browser binary. Re-running is a no-op once everything is installed.
-
-## Writing Tests
-
-### Test File Location
-
-Place browser test specs in `tests/specs/browser/` (or any subdirectory under `tests/specs/`):
-
-```
-tests/
-  specs/
-    browser/
-      LoginSpec.cfc
-      CheckoutSpec.cfc
-```
-
-### Test Structure
-
-Every browser test CFC extends `wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest` and uses `browserDescribe()` instead of plain `describe()`:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="wheels.wheelstest.BrowserTest" {
-
-    this.browserEngine = "chromium";   // only chromium supported currently
-
-    function run() {
-        browserDescribe("Feature name", () => {
-            it("does something", () => {
-                if (this.browserTestSkipped) return;
-                this.browser
-                    .visit("/page")
-                    .assertSee("Expected text");
-            });
-        });
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Key points:**
-- `browserDescribe()` creates a fresh browser context per `it` block
-- Always check `this.browserTestSkipped` at the start of each test — this allows specs to skip gracefully when Playwright isn't installed
-- `this.browser` is the DSL entry point — all methods are chainable
-
-### Navigation
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .visit("/login")                    // relative to app base URL
-    .visitUrl("https://example.com")    // absolute URL
-    .visitRoute("user", {key: 42})      // Wheels named route
-    .back()
-    .forward()
-    .refresh();
-```
-
-### Interacting with Elements
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .click("##submit-btn")              // CSS selector (## = literal #)
-    .press("Sign in")                   // click by visible text
-    .fill("##email", "alice@example.com")
-    .type("##search", "wheels")         // char-by-char typing
-    .clear("##email")
-    .select("##country", "US")
-    .check("##terms")
-    .uncheck("##newsletter");
-```
-
-### Assertions
-
-```cfm
-// Text and visibility
-this.browser
-    .assertSee("Welcome")              // page contains text
-    .assertDontSee("Error")
-    .assertSeeIn("h1", "Dashboard")    // scoped to selector
-    .assertVisible("##main-nav")
-    .assertMissing("##error-banner");
-
-// URL and title
-this.browser
-    .assertUrlIs("/dashboard")
-    .assertUrlContains("/dash")
-    .assertTitleContains("Dashboard")
-    .assertRouteIs("dashboard");
-
-// Forms
-this.browser
-    .assertInputValue("##email", "alice@example.com")
-    .assertChecked("##terms")
-    .assertHasClass("##alert", "success");
-```
-
-### Waiting
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .waitFor("##lazy-element")          // default 30s timeout
-    .waitFor("##element", 5)            // 5 second timeout
-    .waitForText("Loading complete")
-    .waitForUrl("**/dashboard", 5);     // glob pattern
-```
-
-### Scoping
-
-```cfm
-this.browser.within("form##login", (scoped) => {
-    scoped.fill("##email", "alice@example.com")
-          .fill("##password", "secret")
-          .click("button[type=submit]");
-});
-```
-
-### Authentication
-
-```cfm
-// Quick login via fixture route (no form interaction needed)
-this.browser.loginAs("admin");
-this.browser.logout();
-```
-
-Uses fixture routes mounted automatically at `/_browser/login-as` and `/_browser/logout` in test mode.
-
-### Dialogs (Lucee Only)
-
-```cfm
-// Must be called BEFORE the triggering action
-this.browser.acceptDialog();
-this.browser.acceptDialog("prompt answer");
-this.browser.dismissDialog();
-var msg = this.browser.dialogMessage();
-```
-
-Dialog handling uses Lucee's `createDynamicProxy` and is not available on other CFML engines.
-
-### Viewport
-
-```cfm
-this.browser
-    .resize(1024, 768)
-    .resizeToMobile()       // 375 x 667
-    .resizeToTablet()       // 768 x 1024
-    .resizeToDesktop();     // 1440 x 900
-```
-
-Or set a default viewport for the entire spec:
-
-```cfm
-this.browserViewport = "mobile";
-// or: this.browserViewport = {width: 1024, height: 768};
-```
-
-### Screenshots
-
-```cfm
-this.browser.screenshot("/tmp/page.png");
-this.browser.screenshot(path="/tmp/full.png", fullPage=true);
-```
-
-Failed tests automatically capture a screenshot and HTML dump to `tests/_output/browser/`.
-
-## Running Tests
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests (browser specs included when Playwright is installed)
-wheels test run
-
-# Run browser specs only
-wheels browser:test
-
-# JSON output for CI
-wheels browser:test --format=json
-
-# Verbose output (show full spec names + failure details)
-wheels browser:test --verbose
-```
-
-## CFML Gotchas
-
-- **`##` for CSS ID selectors** — CFML treats `#` as an expression delimiter. Use `##email` to produce `#email` at runtime.
-- **`client` is a reserved scope** — Don't use `var client = ...` inside closures on Lucee. Use `var c = ...` instead.
-- **Data URLs for simple tests** — `data:text/html,<h1>Hello</h1>` works for most DSL methods without a running server. But cookies and form redirects need a real HTTP origin.
-
-## Comparison with Node.js Playwright
-
-| | Native CFML | Node.js Playwright |
-|---|---|---|
-| Language | CFML (`.cfc` files) | TypeScript/JavaScript (`.spec.ts`) |
-| Setup | `wheels browser:install` | `npm install && npx playwright install` |
-| Test runner | WheelsTest (runs in Wheels) | Playwright Test (runs in Node.js) |
-| Best for | Framework tests, CFML-centric teams | Frontend-heavy apps, JS-centric teams |
-| Browser support | Chromium only | Chromium, Firefox, WebKit |
-
-Both approaches are valid. Use native CFML if you want tests alongside your models and controllers in the same language. Use Node.js Playwright if you need multi-browser support or prefer TypeScript tooling.

-title: Configuration and Defaults
-description: >-
-  An overview of Wheels configuration and how it is used in your applications.
-  Learn how to override a Wheels convention to make it your own.
----
-
-# Configuration and Defaults
-
-We all love the "Convention over Configuration" motto of Wheels, but what about those two cases that pop into everyone's head? _What if I want to develop in my own way?_ Or, _What about an existing application that I need to port into Wheels?_ Gladly, that's what configuration and defaults are there for. Let's take a look at exactly how this is performed.
-
-### Where Configurations Happen
-
-You will find configuration files in the `config` folder at the root of your Wheels application. In general, most of your settings will go in `/config/settings.cfm`.
-
-You can also set values based on what environment you have set. For example, you can have different values for your settings depending on whether you're in `development` mode or `production` mode. See the chapter on [Switching Environments](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/switching-environments/) for more details.
-
-### How to Set Configurations
-
-To change a Wheels application default, you generally use the [set()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.set.html) function. With it, you can perform all sorts of tweaks to the framework's default behaviors.
-
-### How to Access Configuration Values
-
-Use the [get()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.get.html) function to access the value of a Wheels application setting. Just pass it the name of the setting.
-
-
-
-{% code title="CFScript" %}
-```javascript
-if (get("environment") == "production") {
-    // Do something for production environment
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Setting CFML Application Configurations
-
-In CFML's standard `Application.cfc`, you can normally set values for your application's properties in the `this`scope. Wheels still provides these options to you in the file at `config/app.cfm`.
-
-Here is an example of what can go in `config/app.cfm`:
-
-{% code title="config/app.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-this.name = "TheNextSiteToBeatTwitter";
-this.sessionManagement = false;
-
-this.customTagPaths = ListAppend(
-  this.customTagPaths,
-  ExpandPath("../customtags")
-);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Using Environment Variables in config/app.cfm
-
-**Important:** When your application starts, Wheels automatically loads `.env` files and makes their values available in `this.env` **before** `config/app.cfm` is executed. This means you can access environment variables directly in `config/app.cfm` using `this.env`.
-
-#### Accessing Environment Variables
-
-Use `this.env` to access values from your `.env` file:
-
-{% code title="config/app.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-// Access environment variables using this.env
-this.name = this.env["APP_NAME"] ?: "MyWheelsApp";
-
-// Database configuration using environment variables
-this.datasources["myapp"] = {
-    class: this.env["DB_CLASS"] ?: "org.h2.Driver",
-    connectionString: this.env["DB_CONNECTION_STRING"],
-    username: this.env["DB_USER"],
-    password: this.env["DB_PASSWORD"]
-};
-
-// Multiple datasources from environment variables
-this.datasources["primary"] = {
-    class: "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver",
-    connectionString: "jdbc:mysql://" & this.env["DB_HOST"] & ":" & this.env["DB_PORT"] & "/" & this.env["DB_NAME"],
-    username: this.env["DB_USER"],
-    password: this.env["DB_PASSWORD"]
-};
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-#### Example .env File
-
-{% code title=".env" %}
-```bash
-# Application Settings
-APP_NAME=MyWheelsApp
-WHEELS_ENV=development
-
-# Database Configuration
-DB_HOST=localhost
-DB_PORT=3306
-DB_NAME=myapp_dev
-DB_USER=dbuser
-DB_PASSWORD=secret123
-DB_CLASS=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
-DB_CONNECTION_STRING=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myapp_dev?useSSL=false
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-#### Environment-Specific Configuration
-
-You can create environment-specific `.env` files:
-
-- `.env` - Default values for all environments
-- `.env.development` - Development-specific values
-- `.env.production` - Production-specific values
-- `.env.testing` - Testing-specific values
-
-Wheels will automatically load the appropriate file `(.env.[environment])` based the variable `WHEELS_ENV` defined in your current .env file.
-
-#### Best Practices for Environment Variables
-
-1. **Never commit sensitive credentials** - Add `.env` to your `.gitignore` file
-2. **Use `.env.example` as a template** - Commit a template with placeholder values
-3. **Use the null coalescing operator** - Provide defaults: `this.env["KEY"] ?: "default"`
-4. **Document required variables** - List all required environment variables in your README
-
-{% code title=".env.example" %}
-```bash
-# Copy this file to .env and fill in your values
-# Never commit .env to version control!
-
-APP_NAME=YourAppName
-DB_HOST=localhost
-DB_PORT=3306
-DB_NAME=your_database
-DB_USER=your_username
-DB_PASSWORD=your_password
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Types of Configurations Available
-
-There are several types of configurations that you can perform in Wheels to override all those default behaviors. In Wheels, you can find all these configuration options:
-
-* [Environment settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#environment-settings)
-* [URL rewriting settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#url-rewriting-settings)
-* [Data source settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#data-source-settings)
-* [Function settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#function-settings)
-* [Debugging and error settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#debugging-and-error-settings)
-* [Caching settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#caching-settings)
-* [ORM settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#orm-settings)
-* [Plugin settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#plugin-settings)
-* [Media settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#media-settings)
-* [Routing settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#routing-settings)
-* [View helper settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#view-helper-settings)
-* [CSRF protection settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#csrf-protection-settings)
-* [Miscellaneous Settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#miscellaneous-settings)
-* [Migrator settings](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults/#migrator-configuration-settings)
-
-Let's take a closer look at each of these options.
-
-### Environment Settings
-
-Not only are the environments useful for separating your production settings from your "under development" settings, but they are also opportunities for you to override settings that will only take effect in a specified environment.
-
-The setting for the current environment can be found in `config/environment.cfm` and should look something like this:
-
-{% code title="config/environment.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(environment="development");
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-**Full Listing of Environment Settings**
-
-| Name                         | Type    | Default                               | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
-| ---------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| environment                  | string  | development                           | Environment to load. Set this value in config/environment.cfm. Valid values are development, testing, maintenance, and production.                                                                                                          |
-| reloadPassword               | string  | \[empty string]                       | Password to require when reloading the Wheels application from the URL. Leave empty to require no password.                                                                                                                                                     |
-| redirectAfterReload          | boolean | Enabled in maintenance and production | Whether or not to redirect away from the current URL when it includes a reload request. This hinders accidentally exposing your application's reload URL and password in web analytics software, screenshots of the browser, etc.                               |
-| ipExceptions                 | string  | \[empty string]                       | IP addresses that Wheels will ignore when the environment is set to maintenance. That way administrators can test the site while in maintenance mode, while the rest of users will see the message loaded in /app/events/onmaintenance.cfm.   |
-| allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl | boolean | true                                  | Set to false to disable switching of environment configurations via URL. You can still reload the application, but switching environments themselves will be disabled.                                                                                          |
-
-### URL Rewriting Settings
-
-Sometimes it is useful for our applications to "force" URL rewriting. By default, Wheels will try to determine what type of URL rewriting to perform and set it up for you. But you can force in or out this setting by using the example below:
-
-{% code title="CFScript" %}
-```javascript
-set(urlRewriting="Off");
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The code above will tell Wheels to skip its automatic detection of the URL Rewriting capabilities and just set it as `"Off"`.
-
-You can also set it to "Partial" if you believe that your web server is capable of rewriting the URL as folders after `index.cfm`.
-
-For more information, read the chapter about [URL Rewriting](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/url-rewriting/README).
-
-### Data Source Settings
-
-Probably the most important configuration of them all. What is an application without a database to store all of its precious data?
-
-The data source configuration is what tells Wheels which database to use for all of its models. (This can be overridden on a per-model basis, but that will be covered later.)
-
-#### Basic Data Source Configuration
-
-{% code title="config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(dataSourceName="yourDataSourceName");
-set(dataSourceUserName="yourDataSourceUsername");
-set(dataSourcePassword="yourDataSourcePassword");
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-#### Using Environment Variables for Data Sources
-
-**Recommended:** Use environment variables for database credentials to keep sensitive information secure. You can access environment variables using this scope:
-
-**In `config/app.cfm`** (recommended for datasource configuration):
-
-{% code title="config/app.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-// Use this.env to access .env file variables
-this.datasources["myapp"] = {
-    class: this.env["DB_CLASS"],
-    connectionString: this.env["DB_CONNECTION_STRING"],
-    username: this.env["DB_USER"],
-    password: this.env["DB_PASSWORD"]
-};
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-See [Using Environment Variables in config/app.cfm](#using-environment-variables-in-configappcfm) for more details on working with environment variables.
-
-### Function Settings
-
-OK, here it's where the fun begins! Wheels includes a lot of functions to make your life as a CFML developer easier. A lot of those functions have sensible default argument values to minimize the amount of code that you need to write. And yes, you guessed it, Wheels lets you override those default argument values application-wide.
-
-Let's look at a little of example:
-
-{% code title="CFScript" %}
-```javascript
-set(functionName="findAll", perPage=20);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-That little line of code will make all calls to the [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) method in Wheels return a maximum number of 20 record per page (if pagination is enabled for that [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) call). How great is that? You don't need to set the `perPage` value for every single call to [findAll()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.findall.html) if you have a different requirement than the Wheels default of 10 records.
-
-### Debugging and Error Settings
-
-You'll generally want to configure how Wheels handles errors and debugging information based on your environment. For example, you probably won't want to expose CFML errors in your production environment, whereas you would want to see those errors in your development environment.
-
-For example, let's say that we want to enable debugging information in our "development" environment temporarily:
-
-{% code title="CFScript" %}
-```javascript
-// config/development/settings.cfm
-set(showDebugInformation=false);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-

-### Caching Settings
-
-Wheels does a pretty good job at caching the framework and its output to speed up your application. But if personalization is key in your application, finer control over caching settings will become more important.
-
-Let's say your application generates dynamic routes and you need it to check the routes on each request. This task will be as simple as this line of code:
-
-{% code title="CFScript" %}
-```javascript
-set(cacheRoutes=false);
-```
-{% endcode %}

The reason the cache is not culled during each request is to keep performance as high as possible.                                                      |

-### ORM Settings
-
-The Wheels ORM provides many sensible conventions and defaults, but sometimes your data structure requires different column naming or behavior than what Wheels expects out of the box. Use these settings to change those naming conventions or behaviors across your entire application.
-
-For example, if we wanted to prefix all of the database table names in our application with `blog_` but didn't want to include that at the beginning of model names, we would do this:
-
-{% code title="CFScript" %}
-```javascript
-set(tableNamePrefix="blog_");
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-Now your `post` model will map to the `blog_posts` table, `comment` model will map to the `blog_comments` table, etc.

-| afterFindCallbackLegacySupport | boolean | true            | When this is set to false and you're implementing an afterFind() callback, you need to write the same logic for both the this scope (for objects) and arguments scope (for queries). Setting this to false makes both ways use the arguments scope so you don't need to duplicate logic. Note that the default is true for backwards compatibility.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |

-| timeStampOnUpdateProperty      | string  | updatedAt       | Name of the database column that Wheels will look for in order to automatically store an "updated at" time stamp when records are updated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
-| transactionMode                | string  | commit          | Use commit, rollback, or none to set default transaction handling for creates, updates and deletes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
-| useExpandedColumnAliases       | boolean | false           | When set to true, Wheels will always prepend children objects' names to columns included via findAll()'s include argument, even if there are no naming conflicts. For example, model("post").findAll(include="comment") in a fictitious blog application would yield these column names: id, title, authorId, body, createdAt, commentID, commentName, commentBody, commentCreatedAt, commentDeletedAt. When this setting is set to false, the returned column list would look like this: id, title, authorId, body, createdAt, commentID, name, commentBody, commentCreatedAt, deletedAt.   |
-| modelRequireConfig             | boolean | false           | Set to true to have Wheels throw an error when it can't find a config() method for a model. If you prefer to always use config() methods, this setting could save you some confusion when it appears that your configuration code isn't running due to misspelling "config" for example.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

-### Plugin Settings
-
-There are several settings that make plugin development more convenient. We recommend only changing these settings in `development` mode so there aren't any deployment issues in `production`, `testing`, and `maintenance`modes. (At that point, your plugin should be properly packaged in a zip file.)
-
-If you want to keep what's stored in a plugin's zip file from overwriting changes that you made in its expanded folder, set this in `config/development/settings.cfm`:
-
-{% code title="CFScript" %}
-```javascript
-set(overwritePlugins=false);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-See the chapter on [Installing and Using Plugins](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/plugins/installing-and-using-plugins) for more information.

-| Name                    | Type    | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
-| ----------------------- | ------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| deletePluginDirectories | boolean | true    | When set to true, Wheels will remove subdirectories within the plugins folder that do not contain corresponding plugin zip files. Set to false to add convenience to the process for developing your own plugins.                                          |
-| loadIncompatiblePlugins | boolean | true    | Set to false to stop Wheels from loading plugins whose supported versions do not match your current version of Wheels.                                                                                                                                   |
-| overwritePlugins        | boolean | true    | When set to true, Wheels will overwrite plugin files based on their source zip files on application reload. Setting this to false makes plugin development easier because you don't need to keep rezipping your plugin files every time you make a change. |
-| showIncompatiblePlugins | boolean | false   | When set to true, an incompatibility warning will be displayed for plugins that do not specify the current Wheels version.                                                                                                                                 |

-| ---------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| assetQueryString | boolean | false in development mode, true in the other modes | Set to true to append a unique query string based on a time stamp to JavaScript, CSS, and image files included with the media view helpers. This helps force local browser caches to refresh when there is an update to your assets. This query string is updated when reloading your Wheels application. You can also hard code it by passing in a string. |
-| assetPaths       | struct  | false                                              | Pass false or a struct with up to 2 different keys to autopopulate the domains of your assets: http (required) and https. For example: {http="asset0.domain1.com,asset2.domain1.com,asset3.domain1.com", https="secure.domain1.com"}                                                                                                                          |

-### CSRF Protection Settings
-
-Wheels includes built-in Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection for form posts. Part of the CSRF protection involves storing an authenticity token in the session (default) or within an encrypted cookie. Most of the settings below are for when you've chosen to store the authenticity token within a cookie instead of the server's session store.
-
-| Name                          | Type    | Default                | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
-| ----------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| csrfStore                     | string  | session                | Which storage strategy to use for storing the CSRF authenticity token. Valid values are `session` or `cookie`. Choosing `session` requires no additional configuration. Choosing `cookie` for this requires additional configuration listed below.                                     |
-| csrfCookieEncryptionAlgorithm | string  | AES                    | Encryption algorithm to use for encrypting the authenticity token cookie contents. This setting is ignored if you're using `session` storage. See your CF engine's documentation for the `Encrypt()` function for more information.                                                                                                                      |
-| csrfCookieEncryptionSecretKey | string  |                        | Secret key used to encrypt the authenticity token cookie contents. This value must be configured to a string compatible with the `csrfCookieEncryptionAlgorithm`setting if you're using `cookie` storage. This value is ignored if you're using `session` storage. See your CF engine's documentation for the `Encrypt()` function for more information. |
-| csrfCookieEncryptionEncoding  | string  | Base64                 | Encoding to use to write the encrypted value to the cookie. This value is ignored if you're using `session` storage. See your CF engine's documentation for the `Encrypt()` function for more information.                                                                                                                                              |
-| csrfCookieName                | string  | \_wheels\_authenticity | The name of the cookie to be set to store CSRF token data. This value is ignored if you're using `session` storage.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
-| csrfCookieDomain              | string  |                        | Domain to set the cookie on. See your CF engine's documentation for `cfcookie` for more information.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
-| csrfCookieEncodeValue         | boolean |                        | Whether or not to have CF encode the cookie.

-│   └── wheels-installer.dmg    # Distributable DMG
-└── README.md                   # Developer technical guide
-```
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-The installer uses a two-component architecture:
-
-- **Swift GUI** (`WheelsInstallerApp.swift`): Native macOS interface built with SwiftUI that collects user preferences
-- **Bash Script** (`install-wheels`): Handles actual installation logic, downloads, and CommandBox setup
-- **Communication**: Command-line arguments and real-time output streaming coordinate between components
-
-**Parameter Flow:**
-```
-UI Controls → Swift State → Command Line Arguments → Bash Script → Installation
-```
-
-## Making Changes
-
-### After Editing Swift UI
-
-When you modify `WheelsInstallerApp.swift`:
-
-```bash
-# Rebuild the app
-./build-swift.sh
-
-# Test your changes
-open installer/wheels-installer.app
-```
-
-### After Editing Bash Script
-
-When you modify `install-wheels`:
-
-```bash
-# Option 1: Test script directly (no GUI)
-./install-wheels --app-name "TestApp" --template "wheels-base-template@BE"
-
-# Option 2: Rebuild and test with GUI
-./build-swift.sh
-open installer/wheels-installer.app
-```
-
-### After Editing Configuration
-
-When you modify `Info.plist`:
-
-```bash
-# Rebuild to apply changes
-./build-swift.sh
-
-# Verify changes
-open installer/wheels-installer.app
-```
-
-### Adding New Templates
-
-1. **Edit** `WheelsInstallerApp.swift`
-2. Find the template Picker (around line 150)
-3. Add your template:
-   ```swift
-   Picker("Template:", selection: $template) {
-       Text("3.0.x Bleeding Edge").tag("wheels-base-template@BE")
-       Text("Your New Template").tag("your-template-name")  // Add here
-   }
-   ```
-4. **Rebuild and test:**
-   ```bash
-   ./build-swift.sh
-   open installer/wheels-installer.app
-   ```
-
-### Adding New CFML Engines
-
-1. **Edit** `WheelsInstallerApp.swift`
-2. Find the engine Picker (around line 160)
-3. Add your engine:
-   ```swift
-   Picker("CFML Engine:", selection: $cfmlEngine) {
-       Text("Lucee (Latest)").tag("lucee")
-       Text("Your Engine").tag("your-engine")  // Add here
-   }
-   ```
-4. **Rebuild and test:**
-   ```bash
-   ./build-swift.sh
-   open installer/wheels-installer.app
-   ```
-
-### Updating CommandBox Version
-
-1. **Edit** `install-wheels` (around line 16)
-2. Change version:
-   ```bash
-   readonly COMMANDBOX_VERSION="6.3.0"  # Update here
-   ```
-3. **Rebuild:**
-   ```bash
-   ./build-swift.sh
-   ```
-
-### Updating Java Version
-
-1. **Edit** `install-wheels` (around line 17)
-2. Change version:
-   ```bash
-   readonly MINIMUM_JAVA_VERSION=21  # Update here
-   ```
-3. **Rebuild:**
-   ```bash
-   ./build-swift.sh
-   ```
-
-### Modifying Installation Logic
-
-1. Edit functions in `install-wheels` script
-2. Maintain consistent logging format: `[HH:MM:SS] LEVEL: Message`
-3. Use logging functions: `log_info()`, `log_success()`, `log_error()`
-4. Test script directly before embedding in app
-
-## Testing Your Changes
-
-### Quick Test (Script Only)
-
-```bash
-./install-wheels \
-  --app-name "TestApp" \
-  --template "wheels-base-template@BE" \
-  --engine "lucee"
-```
-
-### Full Test (With GUI)
-
-```bash
-# Build
-./build-swift.sh
-
-# Run
-open installer/wheels-installer.app
-
-# Monitor logs in another terminal
-tail -f /tmp/wheels-installation.log
-```
-
-### Test on Different macOS Versions
-
-Recommended test matrix:
-- macOS 11 (Big Sur)
-- macOS 12 (Monterey)
-- macOS 13 (Ventura)
-- macOS 14 (Sonoma)
-
-Test on both architectures:
-- Intel Mac
-- Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3)
-
-### Edge Case Testing
-- Existing CommandBox installation
-- Network connectivity issues
-- Limited user permissions
-- Installation cancellation
-- Java version compatibility
-- Port 8080 already in use
-
-## Code Quality Standards
-
-### Swift Guidelines
-- Use `@State` for UI state management
-- Keep UI declarative with SwiftUI
-- Handle errors gracefully with try/catch
-- Use `DispatchQueue` for background work
-- Maintain separation between UI and business logic
-
-### Bash Guidelines
-- Use strict mode: `set -e` and `set -u`
-- Quote all variables: `"$VARIABLE"`
-- Use `readonly` for constants
-- Use `[[` instead of `[` for conditionals
-- Maintain consistent logging format
-- Use functions for reusability
-
-### Logging Standards
-```bash
-log_info "Starting operation..."
-log_success "Operation completed successfully"
-log_error "Operation failed"
-log_section "MAJOR STEP HEADING"
-```
-
-## Building and Packaging
-
-### Build for Testing
-
-```bash
-# Build the .app
-./build-swift.sh
-
-# Test locally
-open installer/wheels-installer.app
-```
-
-### Build for Distribution
-
-```bash
-# 1. Update version in Info.plist
-# Edit CFBundleShortVersionString
-
-# 2. Build the .app
-./build-swift.sh
-
-# 3. Create DMG
-./create-dmg.sh
-
-# 4. Test DMG
-open installer/wheels-installer.dmg
-
-# 5. DMG ready at: installer/wheels-installer.dmg
-```
-
-### Version Management
-
-Update version in `Info.plist`:
-```xml
-<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
-<string>1.0.0</string>
-```

-title: Contributing to Wheels Windows Installer
----
-# Contributing to Wheels Windows Installer
-
-## Repository
-
-The Wheels Windows Installer is located in the main Wheels repository at `tools/installer/windows/`:
-
-**[GitHub Repository](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/tree/develop/tools/installer/windows)**
-
-## Development Setup
-
-### Prerequisites
-- Windows 10/11
-- Inno Setup 6.0+ ([Download](https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php))
-- PowerShell 5.1+ (built into Windows)
-- Git
-- Administrator privileges (for testing installations)
-
-### Initial Setup
-1. Clone the Wheels repository:
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels.git
-   cd wheels/tools/installer/windows
-   ```
-
-2. Verify Inno Setup installation:
-   ```powershell
-   # Should open Inno Setup Compiler
-   & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 6\Compil32.exe" /?
-   ```
-
-## Installer Structure
-
-```
-tools/installer/windows/
-├── install-wheels.iss          # Inno Setup GUI installer (Pascal)
-├── install-wheels.ps1          # PowerShell installation engine
-├── assets/                     # App icons and resources
-│   └── wheels_logo.ico         # Wheels Logo
-├── installer/                  # Build output directory
-│   └── wheels-installer.exe    # Generated installer executable
-└── README.md                   # Developer technical guide
-```
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-The installer uses a two-component architecture:
-
-- **Inno Setup Script** (`install-wheels.iss`): Professional Windows GUI that collects user preferences through wizard pages
-- **PowerShell Engine** (`install-wheels.ps1`): Handles actual installation logic, downloads, and CommandBox setup
-- **Communication**: Status files and logging system coordinate between components
-
-**Parameter Flow:**
-```
-UI Controls → Pascal Functions → PowerShell Command Line → Installation Logic
-```
-
-## Making Changes
-
-### Adding New Templates
-1. Update template radio buttons in `InitializeWizard()` function
-2. Modify `GetTemplate()` function to return new template identifier
-3. Verify template exists on ForgeBox
-4. Test installation with new template
-
-### Adding New CFML Engines
-1. Add engine radio button in engine selection page
-2. Update `GetEngine()` function in Pascal code
-3. Test engine installation via CommandBox
-4. Verify compatibility with existing templates
-
-### Modifying Installation Logic
-1. Edit PowerShell functions in appropriate `#region` blocks
-2. Maintain consistent logging using `Write-Log` functions
-3. Update error handling with `Write-LogError`
-4. Add status reporting for new features
-
-### UI Improvements
-1. Modify wizard pages in `InitializeWizard()`
-2. Add parameter validation in `NextButtonClick()`
-3. Update getter functions for new parameters
-4. Test parameter passing to PowerShell
-
-## Testing Your Changes
-
-### Local Testing
-1. Build installer in Inno Setup (F9 key)
-2. Test on clean Windows system (VM recommended)
-3. Verify all wizard pages work correctly
-4. Test installation completion and error scenarios
-5. Check log files: `%TEMP%\wheels-installation.log`
-6. Verify status file: `%TEMP%\wheels-install-status.txt`
-
-### PowerShell Testing
-Test PowerShell script directly:
-```powershell
-.\install-wheels.ps1 -AppName "TestApp" -Template "wheels-base-template@BE"
-
-# Check logs
-Get-Content "$env:TEMP\wheels-installation.log" -Tail 20
-```
-
-### Edge Case Testing
-- Existing CommandBox installation
-- Network connectivity issues
-- Limited user permissions
-- Installation cancellation
-- Java version compatibility
-
-## Code Quality Standards
-
-### PowerShell Guidelines
-- Use approved PowerShell verbs (`Install-`, `Get-`, `Set-`)
-- Maintain consistent logging format: `[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.fff] [LEVEL] Message`
-- Always use try/catch with `Write-LogError` for errors
-- Add functions to appropriate `#region` blocks
-
-### Inno Setup Guidelines
-- Use CamelCase for function names
-- Keep getter functions simple (return values only)
-- Add input validation in `NextButtonClick()`
-- Document complex Pascal logic with comments
-
-### Communication Protocol
-- PowerShell writes status to single file: `%TEMP%\wheels-install-status.txt`
-- Status format: Line 1 = exit code, Line 2 = log file path
-- Guard variables prevent duplicate status writes
-- Inno Setup reads status file and displays appropriate message
-
-## Building and Packaging
-
-### Build Process
-1. Open `install-wheels.iss` in Inno Setup Compiler
-2. Press F9 or Build → Compile
-3. Output generated: `installer\wheels-installer.exe`
-4. Test installer on clean Windows system
-
-### Version Management
-Update version in Inno Setup `[Setup]` section:
-```pascal
-AppVersion=1.0
-```
-

-title: Contributing to Wheels
-description: >-
-  Here are the rules of the road for contributing code to the project. Let's
-  follow this process so that we don't duplicate effort and so the code base is
-  easy to maintain over the long haul.
----
-
-# Contributing to Wheels
-
-## Repository
-
-The official Git repository for Wheels is located at our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels).
-
-Anyone may fork the  `wheels` repository, make changes, and submit a pull request.
-
-## Core Team Has Write Access
-
-To make sure that we don't have too many chefs in the kitchen, we will be limiting direct commit access to a core team of developers.
-
-At this time, the core team consists of these developers:
-
-* [Peter Amiri](https://github.com/bpamiri)
-* [Zain Ul Abideen](https://github.com/zainforbjs)
-
-This does not restrict you from being able to contribute. See "Process for Implementing Code Changes" below for instructions on volunteering. With enough dedication, you can earn a seat on the core team as well!
-
-## Process for Implementing Code Changes
-
-Here's the process that we'd like for you to follow. This process is in place mainly to encourage everyone to communicate openly. This gives us the opportunity to have a great peer-review process, which will result in quality. Who doesn't like quality?
-
-1. Open an issue in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/issues), outlining the changes or additions that you would like to make.
-2. A member of the core team will review your submission and leave feedback if necessary.
-3. Once the core team member is satisfied with the scope of the issue, they will indicate so in a comment to the issue. This is your green light to start working. Get to coding, grasshopper!
-4. Need help or running across any issues while coding? Start a [Discussion](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/discussions).
-5. When you have implemented your enhancement or change, use your Git repository to create a pull request with your changes.
-   * You should annotate your commits with the issue number as `#55` if the code issue is `55`
-6. A core team member will review it and post any necessary feedback in the issue tracker.
-7. Once everything is resolved, a core team member will merge your commit into the Git repository.
-8. If needed, open an issue to have the additions and changes in your revision documented in the [CHANGELOG](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/https:/github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/blob/main/CHANGELOG/). You may claim the issue if you'd like to do this, but it's entirely your choice.
-
-## Developing with Docker
-
-Wheels now includes a comprehensive Docker-based test environment that makes it easy to test your changes against multiple CFML engines and database platforms. For detailed instructions on using this environment, see:
-
-- [Using the Test Environment](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/using-the-test-environment/) - Complete guide to the Docker test environment
-- [Submitting Pull Requests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/submitting-pull-requests/) - Step-by-step guide to creating and submitting PRs
-
-## Code Style
-
-All framework code should use the guidelines at [https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/wiki/Code-Style-Guide](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/wiki/Code-Style-Guide). This will make things more readable and will keep everyone on the same page. If you're working on code and notice any violations of the official style, feel free to correct it!
-
-Additionally, we recommend that any applications written using the Wheels framework follow the same style. This is optional, of course, but still strongly recommended.
-
-## Supported CFML Engines
-
-All code for Wheels should be written for use with Adobe ColdFusion 2018 upwards, Lucee 5 upwards and BoxLang 1.x.
-
-## Naming Conventions
-
-To stay true to our ColdFusion and Java roots, all names must be camelCase. In some cases, such as internal CFML functions, the first letter should be capitalized as well. Refer to these examples.
-
-| Code Element          | Examples                               | Description                      |
-| --------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
-| CFC Names             | MyCfc.cfc, BlogEntry.cfc               | CapitalizedCamelCase             |
-| Variable Names        | myVariable, storyId                    | camelCase                        |
-| UDF Names             | myFunction()                           | camelCase                        |
-| Built-in CF Variables | result.recordCount, cfhttp.fileContent | camelCase                        |
-| Built-in CF Functions | IsNumeric(), Trim()                    | CapitalizedCamelCase             |
-| Scoped Variables      | application.myVariable, session.userId | lowercase.camelCase              |
-| CGI Variables         | cgi.remote\_addr, cgi.server\_name     | cgi.lowercase\_underscored\_name |
-
-### CFC Conventions
-
-#### Local Variables
-
-The old `loc` scope has been deprecated and you should use the function `local` scope.
-
-Code Example
-
-```javascript
-// This is just for illustration. It's obviously a silly function.
-function returnArrayLengthInWords(required array someArray) {
-  local.rv = "Unknown";
-  if (ArrayLen(arguments.someArray) > 50) {
-    local.rv = "Pretty Long!";
-  }
-  if (ArrayLen(arguments.someArray) > 100) {
-    local.rv = "Very Long!";
-  }
-  return local.rv;
-}
-```
-
-#### CFC Methods
-
-All CFC methods should be made public. If a method is meant for internal use only and shouldn't be included in the API, then prefix it with a dollar sign _**$**_. An example would be _**$query()**_.

-title: Conventions
-description: >-
-  With a convention-over-configuration framework like Wheels, it's important
-  to know these conventions. This is your guide.
----
-
-# Conventions
-
-There is a specific set of standards that Wheels follows when you run it in its default state. This is to save you time. With conventions in place, you can get started coding without worrying about configuring every little detail.
-
-But it is important for you to know these conventions, especially if you're running an operating system and/or DBMS configuration that's picky about things like case sensitivity.
-
-### URLs
-
-Wheels uses a very flexible routing system to match your application's URLs to controllers, views, and parameters.
-
-Within this routing system is a _default route_ that handles many scenarios that you'll run across as a developer. The default route is mapped using the pattern `[controller]/[action]/[key]`.
-
-Consider this example URL: http://localhost:8080/users/edit/12
-
-{% tabs %}
-{% tab title="HTTP" %}
-http://localhost:8080/users/edit/12
-{% endtab %}
-{% endtabs %}
-
-This maps to the `Users` controller, `edit` action, and a key of `12`. For all intents and purposes, this will load a view for editing a user with a primary key value in the database of `12`.
-
-This URL pattern works up the chain and will also handle the following example URLs:
-
-| URL                                                                        | Controller | Action | Key |
-| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------ | --- |
-| [http://localhost:8080/users/edit/12](http://localhost:8080/users/edit/12) | users      | edit   | 12  |
-| [http://localhost:8080/users/new](http://localhost:8080/users/edit/12)     | users      | new    |     |
-| [http://localhost:8080/users](http://localhost:8080/users/edit/12)         | users      | index  |     |
-
-Note that the above conventions are for `GET` requests and only apply when you have a `wildcard()` call in `/config/routes.cfm` (which is the default). See [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) for instructions on overriding this behavior and how to deal with `PUT`, `POST` etc.
-
-### Naming Conventions for Controllers, Actions, and Views
-
-Controllers, actions, and views are closely linked together by default. And how you name them will influence the URLs that Wheels will generate.
-
-### Controllers
-
-First, a controller is a CFC file placed in the `controllers` folder. It should be named in `PascalCase`. For example, a site map controller would be stored at `/app/controllers/SiteMap.cfc`.
-
-Multi-word controllers will be delimited by hyphens in their calling URLs. For example, a URL of `/site-map` will reference the `SiteMap` controller.
-
-See [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) for instructions on overriding this behavior.
-
-### Actions
-
-Methods within the controllers, known as actions, should be named in `camelCase`.
-
-Like with controllers, any time a capital letter is used in `camelCase`, a hyphen will be used as a word delimiter in the corresponding URL. For example, a URL of `/site-map/search-engines` will reference the `searchEngines` action in the `SiteMap` controller.
-
-See [Routing](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/handling-requests-with-controllers/routing) for instructions on overriding this behavior.
-
-### Views
-
-By default, view files are named after the action names and are stored in folders that correspond to controller names. Both the folder names and view file names should be all lowercase, and there is no word delimiter.
-
-In our `/site-map/search-engines` URL example, the corresponding view file would be stored at `/app/views/sitemap/searchengines.cfm`.
-
-For information on overriding this behavior, refer to documentation for the [renderView()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function and read the [Pages](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/pages) chapter.
-
-### Layouts
-
-A special type of view file called a layout defines markup that should surround the views loaded by the application. The default layout is stored at `/app/views/layout.cfm` and is automatically used by all views in the application.
-
-Controller-level layouts can also be set automatically by creating a file called `layout.cfm` and storing it in the given controller's view folder. For example, to create a layout for the `users` controller, the file would be stored at `/app/views/users/layout.cfm`.
-
-When a controller-level layout is present, it overrides the default layout stored in the root `/app/views` folder.
-
-For information on overriding the layout file to be loaded by an action, see the chapter on [Layouts](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/displaying-views-to-users/layouts) and documentation for the [renderView](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/controller.renderview.html) function.
-
-### Naming Conventions for Models and Databases
-
-By default, the names of Wheels models, model properties, database tables, and database fields all relate to each other. Wheels even sets a sensible default for the CFML data source used for database interactions.
-
-### Data Sources
-
-By default, the datasource is set to `wheels-dev` in the `/config/settings.cfm` file. You can change the value in the `set(dataSourceName="wheels-dev")` function to whatever you want the name of the datasource to be.
-
-Refer to the [Configuration and Defaults](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults) chapter for instructions on overriding data source information.
-
-### Plural Database Table Names, Singular Model Names
-
-Wheels adopts a Rails-style naming conventions for database tables and model files. Think of a database table as a collection of model objects; therefore, it is named with a plural name. Think of a model object as a representation of a single record from the database table; therefore, it is named with a singular word.
-
-For example, a `user` model represents a record from the `users` database table. Wheels also recognizes plural patterns like `binary/binaries`, `mouse/mice`, `child/children`, etc.
-
-Like controller files, models are also CFCs and are named in `PascalCase`. They are stored in the `/app/models` folder. So the user model would be stored at `/app/models/User.cfc`.
-
-For instructions on overriding database naming conventions, refer to documentation for the [table()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.table.html) function and the chapter on [Object Relational Mapping](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/object-relational-mapping).
-
-### Everything in the Database is Lowercase
-
-In your database, both table names and column names should be lowercase. The `customersegments` table could have fields called `title`, `regionid`, and `incomelevel`, for example.
-
-Because of CFML's case-insensitive nature, we recommend that you refer to model names and corresponding properties in `camelCase`. This makes for easier readability in your application code.
-
-In the `customersegments` example above, you could refer to the properties in your CFML as `title`, `regionId`, and `incomeLevel` to stick to CFML's Java-style roots. (Built-in CFML functions are often written in `camelCase` and `PascalCase`, after all.)
-
-For information on overriding column and property names, refer to documentation for the [property()](https://wheels.dev/api/v3.1.0/model.property.html) function and the [Object Relational Mapping](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/database-interaction-through-models/object-relational-mapping) chapter.
-
-### Configuration and Defaults
-
-There are many default values and settings that you can tweak in Wheels when you need to. Some of them are conventions and others are just configurations available for you to change. You can even change argument defaults for built-in Wheels functions to keep your code DRYer.
-
-For more details on what you can configure, read the [Configuration and Defaults](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/working-with-wheels/configuration-and-defaults) chapter.

-title: Dependency Injection
----
-# Dependency Injection
-
-Wheels includes a built-in dependency injection (DI) container that manages service objects and their lifecycles. Register services once in `config/services.cfm`, then resolve them anywhere in your application with `service()` or declarative `inject()`.
-
-## Registering Services
-
-Create `config/services.cfm` to register your services at application startup:
-
-```cfm
-<cfscript>
-// Get a reference to the DI container
-var di = injector();
-
-// Register a transient (new instance each time)
-di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService");
-
-// Register a singleton (one instance for the app lifetime)
-di.map("cacheService").to("app.lib.CacheService").asSingleton();
-
-// Register a request-scoped service (one instance per HTTP request)
-di.map("currentUser").to("app.lib.CurrentUserService").asRequestScoped();
-
-// Interface binding — semantic alias for map()
-di.bind("INotifier").to("app.lib.SlackNotifier").asSingleton();
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-## Lifecycle Scopes
-
-| Scope | Method | Behavior |
-|-------|--------|----------|
-| **Transient** | *(default)* | New instance every time `getInstance()` or `service()` is called |
-| **Singleton** | `.asSingleton()` | One shared instance for the entire application lifetime |
-| **Request** | `.asRequestScoped()` | One instance per HTTP request, automatically cleaned up |
-
-### When to use each scope
-
-- **Transient**: Stateless utilities, formatters, validators
-- **Singleton**: Database connection pools, configuration, caches
-- **Request**: Current user context, request-specific state, audit loggers
-
-## Using service() in Controllers and Views
-
-The `service()` global helper resolves a registered service by name:
-
-```cfm
-// In a controller action
-function show() {
-    var emailService = service("emailService");
-    emailService.send(to=user.email, subject="Welcome!");
-}
-```
-
-```cfm
-<!--- In a view --->
-<cfset var config = service("appConfig")>
-<p>Version: #config.getVersion()#</p>
-```
-
-## Declarative inject() in Controllers
-
-For services used across multiple actions, declare them in your controller's `config()`:
-
-```cfm
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        inject("emailService");
-        // Or inject multiple at once:
-        inject("emailService, cacheService, currentUser");
-
-        // Other config...
-        filters(through="authenticate");
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        // Services are available as this.serviceName
-        this.emailService.sendWelcome(user);
-        this.cacheService.invalidate("users");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Injected services are resolved when the controller instance is created (per-request), so request-scoped services get fresh instances automatically.
-
-## Interface Binding with bind()
-
-Use `bind()` instead of `map()` when you want to emphasize that the name represents an abstraction:
-
-```cfm
-// In config/services.cfm
-var di = injector();
-
-// Bind an interface name to a concrete implementation
-di.bind("IPaymentGateway").to("app.lib.StripeGateway").asSingleton();
-
-// In production, swap the implementation without changing consumers
-// di.bind("IPaymentGateway").to("app.lib.PayPalGateway").asSingleton();
-```
-
-`bind()` is functionally identical to `map()` — CFML has no formal interfaces, so this is semantic sugar for code clarity.
-
-## Auto-Wiring
-
-When a service's `init()` method has parameters whose names match registered service names, the container automatically resolves and injects them:
-
-```cfm
-// app/lib/OrderService.cfc
-component {
-    public OrderService function init(
-        required any emailService,
-        required any cacheService
-    ) {
-        variables.emailService = arguments.emailService;
-        variables.cacheService = arguments.cacheService;
-        return this;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-```cfm
-// config/services.cfm
-var di = injector();
-di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.EmailService").asSingleton();
-di.map("cacheService").to("app.lib.CacheService").asSingleton();
-di.map("orderService").to("app.lib.OrderService").asSingleton();
-
-// orderService.init() automatically receives emailService and cacheService
-```
-
-Auto-wiring is opt-in: it only activates when no explicit `initArguments` are passed to `getInstance()`. Parameters that don't match any registered mapping are skipped.
-
-### Circular Dependency Protection
-
-The container detects circular dependencies and throws `Wheels.DI.CircularDependency` with a clear message showing the resolution chain, rather than causing a stack overflow.
-
-## Environment-Specific Services
-
-Just like `config/settings.cfm`, you can create environment-specific service overrides:
-
-```
-config/
-    services.cfm                    # Base registrations
-    development/
-        services.cfm                # Override for development
-    testing/
-        services.cfm                # Override for testing
-    production/
-        services.cfm                # Override for production
-```
-
-Environment-specific services are loaded after the base file, so they can override registrations:
-
-```cfm
-// config/testing/services.cfm
-var di = injector();
-di.bind("IPaymentGateway").to("app.lib.MockPaymentGateway").asSingleton();
-di.map("emailService").to("app.lib.MockEmailService").asSingleton();
-```
-
-## Introspection API
-
-The container provides methods to inspect its state:
-
-```cfm
-var di = injector();
-di.getMappings();                    // struct of all name → componentPath mappings
-di.containsInstance("emailService"); // true if registered
-di.isSingleton("emailService");      // true if marked as singleton
-di.isRequestScoped("currentUser");   // true if marked as request-scoped
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Full Application Setup
-
-```cfm
-// config/services.cfm
-<cfscript>
-var di = injector();
-
-// Infrastructure
-di.map("mailer").to("app.lib.PostmarkMailer").asSingleton();
-di.map("cache").to("app.lib.RedisCache").asSingleton();
-di.map("logger").to("app.lib.AppLogger").asSingleton();
-
-// Request-scoped
-di.map("currentUser").to("app.lib.CurrentUserResolver").asRequestScoped();
-di.map("auditLog").to("app.lib.AuditLogger").asRequestScoped();
-
-// Business logic (auto-wired)
-di.map("orderService").to("app.lib.OrderService");
-di.map("invoiceService").to("app.lib.InvoiceService");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-```cfm
-// app/controllers/Orders.cfc
-component extends="Controller" {
-    function config() {
-        inject("orderService, currentUser");
-        filters(through="authenticate");
-    }
-
-    function create() {
-        var order = model("Order").create(params.order);
-        this.orderService.processNewOrder(order, this.currentUser);
-        redirectTo(route="order", key=order.id);
-    }
-}

-title: Wheels Directory Structure Guide
-description: A comprehensive guide to the Wheels directory structure...
----
-
-# Wheels Directory Structure Guide
-
-Understanding the Wheels directory structure is essential whether you're building applications or [contributing](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels) to the framework itself.
-
-## Two Structures for Different Workflows
-
-Wheels uses different directory layouts depending on your role:
-
-**Application Development:** A streamlined structure optimized for building applications, available through ForgeBox or the CLI.
-
-**Framework Development:** A comprehensive monorepo structure that includes development tools, tests, and documentation for framework contributors.
-
-Both structures serve specific purposes, and understanding each will help you work more effectively with Wheels.
-
----
-
-## Application Development Structure
-
-When you create a new Wheels application using `wheels new` or download from [ForgeBox](https://forgebox.io/view/wheels-core), you'll work with this focused project structure:
-
-```
-app/
-  controllers/
-    Controller.cfc
-  events/
-  global/
-  migrator/
-    migrations/
-  models/
-    Model.cfc
-  plugins/
-  views/
-config/
-public/
-  files/
-  images/
-  javascripts/
-  stylesheets/
-  miscellaneous/
-    Application.cfc
-  urlrewrite.xml
-  Application.cfc
-  index.cfm
-tests/
-  specs/
-vendor
-```
-
-### Core Application Directories
-
-**app/controllers/** - Contains your controller files with a base `Controller.cfc` file already present. Place shared controller methods in `Controller.cfc` since all controllers inherit from this base class.
-
-**app/models/** - Houses your model files, typically one per database table. The existing `Model.cfc` file serves as the base class for all models and should contain shared model functionality.
-
-**app/views/** - Stores your view templates, organized by controller (e.g., views for the `Users` controller go in `app/views/users/`). This is where you prepare content for your users.
-
-**app/events/** - Contains event handlers that respond to ColdFusion application events, providing a cleaner alternative to placing code directly in `Application.cfc`.
-
-**app/global/** - Holds globally accessible functions available throughout your application.
-
-**plugins/** - Contains downloaded Wheels plugins that extend your application's functionality.
-
-### Configuration and Assets
-
-**config/** - All configuration changes should be made here. Set environments, routes, and other application settings. Individual setting files in subdirectories can override main configuration.
-
-**public/files/** - Files intended for delivery to users via the `sendFile()` function should be placed here. Also serves as general file storage.
-
-**public/images/** - Recommended location for image assets. While not required, Wheels functions involving images assume this conventional location.
-
-**public/javascripts/** - Recommended location for JavaScript files.
-
-**public/stylesheets/** - Recommended location for CSS files.
-
-**public/miscellaneous/** - Special directory for code that must run completely outside the framework. Contains an empty `Application.cfc` that prevents Wheels involvement. Ideal for Flash AMF binding or `<cfajaxproxy>` connections to CFCs.
-
-### System Files and Testing
-
-**app/migrator/migrations** - Database [migration](https://wheels.dev/3.1.0/guides/command-line-tools/cli-guides/migrations) CFC files.
-
-**tests/** - Location for your application's unit tests.
-
-**public/urlrewrite.xml** - Required for Tomcat/Tuckey or CommandBox URL rewriting.
-
-**public/Application.cfc** and **public/index.cfm** - Framework bootstrap files. Do not modify these files.
-
----
-
-## Framework Development Structure
-
-Contributors working on the Wheels framework itself will encounter this comprehensive repository structure:
-
-```
-cli/
-core/
-  src/
-    wheels/
-design_docs/
-docs/
-examples/
-templates/
-  base/
-    src/
-      app/
-      config/
-      public/
-      tests/
-      vendor/
-      .env
-      box.json
-      server.json
-test-artifacts/
-tests/
-tools/
-.cfformat.json
-.editorconfig
-CFConfig.json
-CHANGELOG.md
-compose.yml
-```
-
-### Framework Development Components
-
-**cli/** - Source code for command-line interface tools including generators and database migration utilities.
-
-**vendor/wheels/** - The core Wheels framework code. This is the actual framework that gets distributed. When new versions are released, this directory often contains all necessary updates. In the monorepo, this is tracked as first-party source code (not an installed dependency).
-
-**design_docs/** - Architecture documentation, design decisions, and planning materials explaining the framework's structural choices.
-
-**docs/** - Official documentation in Markdown format, synchronized with the public website at [wheels.dev](https://wheels.dev/).
-
-**examples/** - Sample applications demonstrating various Wheels features, useful for testing framework changes in realistic scenarios.
-
-**/** - The exact application template structure that developers receive when creating new projects. This mirrors the application development structure described above and includes essential configuration files like `box.json`, `server.json`, and `.env`.
-
-**vendor/** - Third-party dependencies and packages used by the framework development environment. Contains libraries managed through CommandBox/ForgeBox package management.
-
-**test-artifacts/** - Files generated during test suite execution, typically excluded from version control.
-
-**tests/** - Complete WheelsTest test suite for framework validation and regression testing.
-
-**tools/** - Build scripts, Docker configurations, and development utilities for maintaining the framework.
-
-Configuration files (`.cfformat.json`, `.editorconfig`, `CFConfig.json`) maintain consistent development standards across contributor environments.
-
----
-
-## Key Directory Relationships
-
-### Application Context
-
-When working on applications, your primary focus areas are:
-
-- **Configuration:** `config/` directory for all settings
-- **Application Logic:** `app/controllers/`, `app/models/`, `app/migrator/migrations`, `app/views/`, and `app/events/`
-- **Static Assets:** `public/files/`, `public/images/`, `public/javascripts/`, and `public/stylesheets/`
-- **Extensions:** `plugins/` for third-party functionality
-
-### Framework Context
-
-The `/` folder in the framework repository becomes the root directory of every new Wheels application. When contributing to the framework:
-
-- Work primarily in `vendor/wheels/` for framework code
-- Update `docs/` for documentation changes
-- Test changes using applications in `/` or `examples/`
-- Use `tests/` for framework testing
-
----
-
-## Directory Customization
-
-You can add additional directories to your application structure. When doing so:
-
-- Include a blank `Application.cfc` file in custom directories to prevent Wheels from processing requests in those locations
-- Follow the established naming conventions for consistency
-- Consider whether new directories belong in `public/` (web-accessible) or `app/` (application logic)
-
----
-
-## Guidelines for Contributors
-
-**Environment Setup** - Use the provided `compose.yml` file to test changes across multiple CFML engines, ensuring broad compatibility.
-
-**Testing Requirements** - Execute the complete test suite located in `/tests` before submitting pull requests to prevent regressions.
-
-**Code Standards** - Follow the formatting rules defined in `.cfformat.json`. Most development environments can automatically apply these standards.
-
-**Documentation Updates** - Update relevant documentation in `/docs` when adding features or modifying existing behavior.
-
-**CLI Development** - When working on command-line tools, ensure corresponding documentation updates in `/docs/command-line-tools`.
-
----
-
-## Guidelines for Application Developers
-
-**Configuration First** - Begin development by setting up routes, environments, and database connections in the `config/` directory.
-
-**MVC Architecture** - Organize code according to the Model-View-Controller pattern that the directory structure supports:
-  
-- Controllers handle requests and coordinate between models and views
-- Models manage data and business logic
-- Views present information to users
-
-**Asset Organization** - Use the conventional `public/` subdirectories for different asset types. This ensures Wheels functions work as expected and maintains project organization.
-
-**Plugin Integration** - Evaluate existing plugins in `plugins/` before developing custom solutions.
-
-**Database Management** - Use the migration system (`wheels db migrate`) rather than manual SQL scripts for database schema changes.
-
-**Package Management** - Use CommandBox and the `box.json` file to manage dependencies. The `vendor/` directory contains installed packages and should be excluded from version control.
-
-**Local Development** - Configure your development environment using `server.json` for server settings and `.env` for environment variables. Never commit sensitive data in `.env` files to version control.
-
-**Testing Strategy** - Implement unit tests in `tests/` to ensure application reliability.
-
----
-
-This directory structure reflects years of framework development and community feedback. Each directory serves a specific purpose that supports either application development or framework contribution. The clear separation between public assets, application logic, and configuration ensures maintainable and scalable Wheels applications.

-title: Documenting your Code
----
-# Documenting your Code
-
-One of a developer’s biggest time sinks is coming up with and writing accurate and engaging documentation. Even if it’s an internal project with.. well, just you… it’s still incredibly valuable to have: coming back to projects a few months or even years later can often lead to a bit of head scratching and screams of “why?”, especially with your own code.
-
-Whilst we’re not promising that Wheels will write all your documentation for you, we have put some tools in place to hopefully make the process a little less painful. With a small amount of adjustment in how you document your core functions, documentation doesn’t necessarily have to be such a time consuming process.
-
-In the Wheels core, we've adopted javadoc-style syntax (with a few twists of our own) to automatically create our main documentation, and there's nothing stopping you adding to this core set of documentation for your own app. It just needs a bit of markup.
-
-### Browse the Core API
-
-The first thing to notice is the new ‘\[Docs]’ link in the debug section in the footer:\
-Following that link leads you to the main internal documentation.&#x20;
-
-![](/wheels/guides-assets/29a95a8-docs1.jpg)
-
-The three-column layout is designed to allow for quick filtering by section or function name. On the right are the main Wheels core categories, such as Controller and Model functions. These categories are further divided into subcategories, such as Flash and Pagination functions. Clicking on a link in the right column will filter the list in the left and middle columns to show all matching functions, including child functions of that category.
-
-Filtering by function name is made simple by a “filter-as-you-type” search field in the left column, making it very quick to find the right function.
-
-The middle column contains the main function definition, including tags, parameters and code samples.
-
-### How is it generated?
-
-Each function in the core is now appropriately marked up with javaDoc style comments. This, combined with `getMetaData()` allows us to parse the markup into something useful.
-
-Example Core Function
-
-{% code title="Example Core Function" %}
-```java
-/**
- * Removes all HTML tags from a string.
- *
- * [section: View Helpers]
- * [category: Sanitization Functions]
- *
- * @html The HTML to remove tag markup from.
- */
-public string function stripTags(required string html) {
-    local.rv = REReplaceNoCase(arguments.html, "<\ *[a-z].*?>", "", "all");
-    local.rv = REReplaceNoCase(local.rv, "<\ */\ *[a-z].*?>", "", "all");
-    return local.rv;
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The `[section]` and `[category]` tags categorise the function as appropriate, and the `@html` part describes the function’s parameter. The additional parameter data, such as whether it’s required, type and any defaults are automatically parsed too. This results in a display like:
-
-![](/wheels/guides-assets/2102d2c-striptags.jpg)
-
-### Documenting your own functions
-
-Any function which is available to `Controller.cfc` or `Model.cfc` is automatically included; if there’s no javaDoc comment, then they’ll appear in `uncategorized`. But of course, there’s nothing stopping you creating your own `[section]` and `[category]` tags, which will then automatically appear on the left hand column for filtering: you’re not restricted to what we’ve used in the core.
-
-As an example, if you wanted to document all your filters, you might want to have a `[section: Application]` tag, with `[category: filters]`. This way, your application documentation grows as you create it.
-
-Something as simple as a sublime text snippet for a new function which includes the basic javaDoc skeleton can get you in the habit pretty quickly!
-
-### Plugins too!
-
-We also introspect plugins for the same markup. We encourage plugin authors to adjust their plugin code to include `[section: Plugins]` at the very least.&#x20;
-
-### Exports & Re-use
-
-You can export the docs via JSON just by changing the URL string:\
-i.e `?controller=wheels&action=wheels&view=docs&type=core&format=json`
-
-You could also include the functions used to create the docs and create your own version (perhaps useful for a CMS or other application where you have internal documentation for authenticated users). Whilst this isn’t officially supported (the main functions may be subject to change!) it is technically possible. The best example is the thing itself – see the main output if you’re interested. Please note that the user interface isn’t available in production mode (for obvious reasons we hope!), so if you wanted to expose this data to an end user, you would probably need to “roll your own” with this approach.
-
-### Updating
-
-Note that the CFC introspection doesn’t automatically happen on every request, so you will need to `?reload=true` to see changes to your code. Additionally, Adobe ColdFusion is more aggressive in caching CFC metadata, so depending on your settings, you may not see changes until a server restart.
-
-### Code samples
-
-Whilst the core has additional code samples which can be loaded from text files, there’s no support for your application functions to take advantage of this yet.
-
-### Roadmap
-
-Whilst this API/function explorer is a great first step, you’ll notice your controller and model specific functions aren’t included (only those shared amongst controllers, or in the `/app/global/functions.cfm` file. This is because we’re only looking at the main `Model.cfc` and `Controller.cfc` and what it can access.
-
-In a future release, we’ll look at adding a full Controller and Model metadata explorer using the same techniques, and map functions like `show()` to their respective routes too.

-title: End-to-End Testing with Playwright
-description: A comprehensive guide to end-to-end testing your Wheels application using Playwright...
----
-
-# End-to-End Testing with Playwright
-
-This guide covers how to install, configure, and run Playwright end-to-end (E2E) tests for your Wheels application. Playwright enables you to test your application from a user's perspective, simulating real browser interactions across multiple browsers.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-This guide covers the **Node.js/TypeScript Playwright** approach. For native CFML browser testing that runs inside WheelsTest, see [Browser Testing](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/browser-testing/).
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Overview
-
-Playwright is a modern end-to-end testing framework that allows you to:
-
-- Test your application in real browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit)
-- Simulate user interactions (clicks, form submissions, navigation)
-- Verify page content, titles, and response statuses
-- Run tests in headed (visible) or headless mode
-- Generate visual test reports
-- Record tests with codegen for quick test creation
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before running E2E tests, ensure you have:
-
-1. **Node.js 18+** installed
-2. **npm** or **pnpm** package manager
-3. **A running Wheels application** on `http://127.0.0.1:<port>` (default: 8080)
-
-## Installation
-
-### 1. Install Playwright
-
-```bash
-npm install
-```
-
-This installs Playwright and its dependencies. The `package.json` should already include the necessary dev dependencies.
-
-### 2. Install Browser Binaries
-
-```bash
-npx playwright install
-```
-
-This downloads the browser binaries for Chromium and Firefox. You can also install specific browsers:
-
-```bash
-npx playwright install chromium
-npx playwright install firefox
-npx playwright install webkit
-```
-
-For CI environments, install with system dependencies:
-
-```bash
-npx playwright install --with-deps
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-The Playwright configuration is located in `playwright.config.ts` at the project root. Key settings include:
-
-```typescript
-export default defineConfig({
-  testDir: './e2e',
-  fullyParallel: true,
-  forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI,
-  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
-  workers: process.env.CI ? 1 : undefined,
-  reporter: 'html',
-  use: {
-    baseURL: baseURL,
-    trace: 'on-first-retry',
-    navigationTimeout: 30000,
-    actionTimeout: 15000,
-  },
-  projects: [
-    { name: 'chromium', use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'] } },
-    { name: 'firefox', use: { ...devices['Desktop Firefox'] } },
-  ],
-});
-```
-
-### Base URL Configuration
-
-The base URL is determined in this order:
-
-1. `BASE_URL` environment variable (if set)
-2. Port from `server.json`
-3. Fallback to `http://127.0.0.1:8080`
-
-Set a custom base URL:
-
-```bash
-BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 npx playwright test
-```
-
-### Timeout Settings
-
-For CFML applications, increased timeouts are recommended:
-
-```typescript
-use: {
-  navigationTimeout: 30000,  // 30 seconds for page loads
-  actionTimeout: 15000,      // 15 seconds for actions
-},
-```
-
-## Project Structure
-
-Your E2E test files should be located in the `e2e/` directory:
-
-```
-your-app/
-├── e2e/
-│   ├── api-endpoints.spec.ts
-│   ├── configuration.spec.ts

-## Writing Tests
-
-### Basic Test Structure
-
-Create test files with the `.spec.ts` extension:
-
-```typescript
-import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
-
-test.describe('Feature Name', () => {
-  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
-    page.setDefaultTimeout(15000);
-    page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(15000);
-  });
-
-  test('should load the page successfully', async ({ page }) => {
-    const response = await page.goto('/');
-    expect(response?.status()).toBeLessThan(500);
-  });
-
-  test('should display expected content', async ({ page }) => {
-    await page.goto('/');
-    await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Your Title/);
-  });
-});
-```
-
-### Testing Page Load
-
-Test that pages load without errors:
-
-```typescript
-test('should load the home page', async ({ page }) => {
-  const response = await page.goto('/');
-  await expect(page).toHaveURL('/');
-  await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Home/);
-});
-```
-
-### Testing Forms
-
-Test form functionality:
-
-```typescript
-test('should handle form submission', async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto('/users/new');
-  
-  await page.fill('input[name="firstName"]', 'John');
-  await page.fill('input[name="lastName"]', 'Doe');
-  await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'john@example.com');
-  
-  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
-  
-  // Verify redirect or success message
-  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/users/);
-});
-```
-
-### Testing API Endpoints
-
-Test JSON API responses:
-
-```typescript
-test('should return JSON for API endpoint', async ({ request }) => {
-  const response = await request.get('/api/users');
-  expect(response.status()).toBe(200);
-  
-  const body = await response.json();
-  expect(body).toHaveProperty('data');
-  expect(Array.isArray(body.data)).toBe(true);
-});
-```
-
-### Testing Response Formats
-
-Wheels supports multiple response formats:
-
-```typescript
-test('should return JSON response', async ({ request }) => {
-  const response = await request.get('/wheels/info', {
-    headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' }
-  });
-  expect(response.headers()['content-type']).toContain('application/json');
-});
-
-test('should return XML response', async ({ request }) => {
-  const response = await request.get('/wheels/info', {
-    headers: { 'Accept': 'application/xml' }
-  });
-  const body = await response.text();
-  expect(body).toMatch(/<\?xml/);
-});
-```
-
-### Testing Error Handling
-
-Test that errors are handled gracefully:
-
-```typescript
-test('should return 404 for missing resource', async ({ page }) => {
-  const response = await page.goto('/non-existent-page');
-  expect(response?.status()).toBe(404);
-});
-
-test('should not crash on invalid route', async ({ page }) => {
-  const response = await page.goto('/invalid/route/path');
-  expect(response?.status()).toBeLessThan(500);
-});
-```
-
-### Testing CSRF Protection
-
-Test CSRF token handling:
-
-```typescript
-test('should include CSRF token in forms', async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto('/form-page');
-  const csrfInput = page.locator('input[name="csrf_token"]');
-  await expect(csrfInput).toBeVisible();
-  
-  const token = await csrfInput.inputValue();
-  expect(token.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
-});
-
-test('should reject form without CSRF token', async ({ request }) => {
-  const response = await request.post('/form-handler', {
-    form: { name: 'Test' }
-    // No CSRF token
-  });
-  expect(response.status()).toBe(400);
-});
-```

-```
-
-### GitLab CI
-
-```yaml
-e2e-tests:
-  image: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.40.0
-  services:
-    - docker:dind
-  script:
-    - npm ci
-    - npx playwright install --with-deps
-    - npm run start &
-    - npx wait-on http://127.0.0.1:8080 --timeout 60000
-    - npx playwright test
-  artifacts:
-    when: always
-    paths:
-      - playwright-report/
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Tests Timeout
-
-Increase timeout in `playwright.config.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-use: {
-  navigationTimeout: 60000,
-  actionTimeout: 30000,
-},
-```
-
-### Server Not Responding
-
-Ensure your Wheels server is running:
-
-```bash
-# Check if server is running
-curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/wheels/info
-
-# Or set a different port
-BASE_URL=http://localhost:9000 npx playwright test
-```
-
-### Cross-Origin Issues
-
-All tests run against the same base URL, so CORS should not be an issue by default.
-
-### Browser Crashes
-
-If browsers crash during tests:
-
-```bash
-# Install system dependencies
-npx playwright install --with-deps
-
-# Or install specific dependencies
-npx playwright install-deps
-```
-
-### Connection Refused
-
-Verify the server is listening on the correct interface:
-
-```bash
-# Check server configuration
-# The server should bind to 127.0.0.1, not just localhost
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use descriptive test names**: Test names should clearly describe what they verify
-2. **Keep tests independent**: Each test should be able to run in isolation
-3. **Use `beforeEach` for common setup**: Set up page timeouts and common configurations
-4. **Verify the minimum necessary**: Test the expected outcome, not implementation details
-5. **Handle async properly**: Use `await` for all async operations
-6. **Clean up test data**: Tests should not leave permanent data in the database
-7. **Use appropriate assertions**: Use specific assertions like `toHaveTitle()`, `toBeVisible()` over generic ones
-8. **Run tests regularly**: Integrate E2E tests into your development workflow

-title: Multi-Tenancy
-description: Build multi-tenant applications with per-request datasource switching, tenant resolution strategies, and shared models.
----
-
-# Multi-Tenancy
-
-Wheels supports **database-per-tenant** multi-tenancy out of the box. Each tenant gets its own datasource, and Wheels automatically routes all model queries to the correct database based on the current request. No changes to your controllers, views, or existing models are needed.
-
-## What is Multi-Tenancy?
-
-Multi-tenancy is an architecture where a single application serves multiple customers (tenants), each with isolated data. Wheels implements the **database-per-tenant** model: every tenant has a separate database, and the framework switches datasources transparently on each request.
-
-This gives you strong data isolation — a bug in your query code can't accidentally leak data across tenants because they're in completely separate databases.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-Setting up multi-tenancy takes three steps:
-
-### 1. Add the TenantResolver Middleware
-
-{% code title="config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            // Look up the tenant from the subdomain
-            var slug = ListFirst(cgi.server_name, ".");
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="slug='#slug#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) {
-                return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-            }
-            return {};  // No tenant found — use default datasource
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### 2. Create a Shared Tenant Model
-
-Your `Tenant` model lives in the central database, not in tenant databases, so mark it as shared:
-
-{% code title="app/models/Tenant.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();  // Always use the default datasource
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,slug,dsName");
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="slug");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### 3. That's It
-
-Your existing models automatically use the tenant's datasource. No changes needed:
-
-```javascript
-// This query runs against the tenant's database automatically
-users = model("User").findAll(order="lastName");
-```
-
-## Choosing a Resolution Strategy
-
-TenantResolver supports three strategies for identifying which tenant a request belongs to.
-
-### Custom (Default)
-
-Your resolver closure has full control. This is the most flexible approach and works for any identification method — domain lookup, session value, URL parameter, etc.
-
-{% code title="config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="domain='#cgi.server_name#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-**Use when:** You need full control over tenant identification, or your logic doesn't fit the header/subdomain patterns.
-
-### Header
-
-Reads a tenant identifier from an HTTP header. This is common when an API gateway or reverse proxy sets the tenant header before the request reaches your application.
-
-{% code title="config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        strategy = "header",
-        headerName = "X-Tenant-ID",
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            // The header value is available via the CGI scope
-            var tenantId = req.cgi.http_x_tenant_id;
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="externalId='#tenantId#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-**Use when:** A gateway, load balancer, or reverse proxy identifies the tenant and passes it via header.
-
-### Subdomain
-
-Extracts the first subdomain segment from the hostname. For example, `acme.myapp.com` yields `"acme"`. The resolver only fires when there are at least 3 domain segments.
-
-{% code title="config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        strategy = "subdomain",
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            // req.$tenantSubdomain is pre-populated by the strategy
-            var slug = req.$tenantSubdomain;
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="slug='#slug#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) return {id: t.id, dataSource: t.dsName};
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-**Use when:** Each tenant has a unique subdomain (e.g., `acme.myapp.com`, `globex.myapp.com`).
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-Both the header and subdomain strategies pre-populate the extracted value on the request struct before calling your resolver: `req.$tenantHeaderValue` for header strategy, `req.$tenantSubdomain` for subdomain strategy. This saves you from re-extracting the value yourself.
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Shared Models
-
-Most of your models will be tenant-specific — their tables exist in each tenant's database. But some models belong in the central database: the `Tenant` model itself, billing plans, global configuration, etc.
-
-Call `sharedModel()` in any model that should always use the default application datasource:
-
-{% code title="app/models/Plan.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();
-        hasMany(name="tenants");
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,price");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-### Which Models to Share?
-
-| Share | Don't Share |
-|-------|------------|
-| Tenant registry | Users (per-tenant) |
-| Billing plans | Products |
-| Global config | Orders, invoices |
-| Cross-tenant audit log | Tenant-specific data |
-
-**Rule of thumb:** If the table exists only in the central database, call `sharedModel()`. If it exists in every tenant database, don't.
-
-{% hint style="warning" %}
-Don't `include` a shared model from a tenant model in a `findAll()` call if they're in different databases. Wheels uses the calling model's datasource for the entire query, including JOINs.
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Accessing Tenant Info
-
-### `tenant()`
-
-Returns the current tenant struct, or an empty struct if no tenant is active:
-
-```javascript
-// In a controller or view
-if (!StructIsEmpty(tenant())) {
-    writeOutput("Welcome, tenant #tenant().id#!");
-}
-```
-
-The struct contains: `id`, `dataSource`, `config`, and `$locked`.
-
-### Checking if a Tenant is Active
-
-```javascript
-// Simple check
-if (StructKeyExists(tenant(), "id")) {
-    // tenant is active
-}
-
-// Or check for empty struct
-if (!StructIsEmpty(tenant())) {
-    // tenant is active
-}
-```
-
-## Switching Tenants
-
-The TenantResolver locks the tenant for the duration of the request to prevent accidental switching. If you need to switch tenants mid-request (e.g., for admin cross-tenant operations), use `switchTenant()` with `force=true`:
-
-```javascript
-// In an admin controller
-function copyProduct() {
-    // Read from current tenant
-    product = model("Product").findByKey(params.key);
-
-    // Switch to target tenant
-    switchTenant(
-        tenant = {id: params.targetTenantId, dataSource: params.targetDs},
-        force = true
-    );
-
-    // Save to target tenant's database
-    model("Product").create(name=product.name, price=product.price);
-}
-```
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-Without `force=true`, calling `switchTenant()` when a tenant is locked throws a `Wheels.TenantLocked` error. This is a safety feature — most code should never need to switch tenants.
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Per-Tenant Configuration
-
-You can override application settings on a per-tenant basis by including a `config` struct in the tenant:
-
-```javascript
-// In your resolver
-return {
-    id: t.id,
-    dataSource: t.dsName,
-    config: {
-        appName: t.companyName,
-        perPage: t.defaultPageSize,
-        showDebugOutput: false
-    }
-};
-```
-
-Any call to `get("appName")` during that request returns the tenant's value instead of the application default. This works for any non-function-scoped setting.
-
-{% hint style="warning" %}
-**Security-sensitive settings cannot be overridden per-tenant.** The following settings are protected: `encryptionAlgorithm`, `encryptionSecretKey`, `encryptionEncoding`, `CSRFProtection`, `csrfStore`, `reloadPassword`, `obfuscateUrls`. Attempts to override these via tenant config are silently ignored.
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Multi-Tenant Migrations
-
-When you need to run database migrations across all tenant databases, use `TenantMigrator`:
-
-{% code title="Migrate all tenants" %}
-```javascript
-var tm = new wheels.migrator.TenantMigrator();
-
-// With a static list
-var results = tm.migrateAll(
-    action = "latest",
-    tenants = [
-        {id: "acme", dataSource: "acme_ds"},
-        {id: "globex", dataSource: "globex_ds"}
-    ]
-);
-
-// Or with a dynamic provider
-var results = tm.migrateAll(
-    action = "latest",
-    tenantProvider = function() {
-        return model("Tenant").findAll(returnAs="structs", select="id, dsName AS dataSource");
-    }
-);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-The result struct tells you what succeeded and what failed:
-
-```javascript
-// results.success = [{tenant: "acme", dataSource: "acme_ds", output: "..."}, ...]
-// results.failed = [{tenant: "initech", dataSource: "initech_ds", error: "..."}, ...]
-// results.total = 3
-```
-
-By default, migration stops on the first error. Pass `stopOnError=false` to continue migrating remaining tenants.
-
-## Multi-Tenant Background Jobs
-
-Jobs automatically capture the current tenant context when enqueued and restore it before `perform()` runs. No extra code needed:
-
-```javascript
-// Enqueued within a tenant request — tenant context is captured automatically
-job = new app.jobs.GenerateInvoiceJob();
-job.enqueue(data={userId: user.id});
-```
-
-When the job processes later (possibly on a different server or outside a web request), it restores the original tenant context so all model queries run against the correct tenant database.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-The tenant context is stored in the job's data as `$wheelsTenantContext` and automatically removed before your `perform()` method receives the data struct.
-{% endhint %}
-
-## Complete Example
-
-Here's a full SaaS application setup using subdomain-based tenant resolution:
-
-{% code title="config/settings.cfm" %}
-```javascript
-set(middleware = [
-    new wheels.middleware.RequestId(),
-    new wheels.middleware.SecurityHeaders(),
-    new wheels.middleware.TenantResolver(
-        strategy = "subdomain",
-        resolver = function(req) {
-            var slug = ListFirst(cgi.server_name, ".");
-            var t = model("Tenant").findOne(where="slug='#slug#'");
-            if (IsObject(t)) {
-                return {
-                    id: t.id,
-                    dataSource: t.dsName,
-                    config: {appName: t.companyName}
-                };
-            }
-            return {};
-        }
-    )
-]);
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% code title="app/models/Tenant.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();
-        belongsTo(name="plan");
-        hasMany(name="users");
-        validatesPresenceOf("name,slug,dsName");
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="slug");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% code title="app/models/Plan.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        sharedModel();
-        hasMany(name="tenants");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% code title="app/models/User.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        // No sharedModel() — this table is in each tenant's database
-        belongsTo(name="role");
-        validatesPresenceOf("email,firstName,lastName");
-        validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
-    }
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}
-
-{% code title="app/controllers/Users.cfc" %}
-```javascript
-component extends="Controller" {
-
-    function index() {
-        // Automatically queries the current tenant's database
-        users = model("User").findAll(order="lastName", page=params.page, perPage=25);
-    }
-
-    function show() {
-        user = model("User").findByKey(params.key);
-    }
-
-}
-```
-{% endcode %}

-title: Overriding Core Methods
----
-## Overriding Core Wheels Methods (Wheels 3.x)
-
-In Wheels 2.5, developers could override core framework methods (such as `findAll`) in their models and call the original Wheels implementation using the `super` scope.
-
-Due to internal framework restructuring in Wheels 3.0, this behavior no longer works using the traditional `super.methodName()` syntax. To restore this capability in a predictable and explicit way, Wheels now provides a new **`super`-prefixed method convention**.
-
----
-
-### Wheels 2.5 Behavior
-
-In Wheels 2.5, overriding a core model method and calling the original implementation looked like this:
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function findAll() {
-        // custom logic here
-
-        return super.findAll();
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-This worked because Wheels core methods were directly accessible via the `super` scope.
-
----
-
-### Why This Changed in Wheels 3.0
-
-Wheels 3.0 introduced a significant internal reorganization of the framework to support:
-
-- improved extensibility
-- cleaner separation of concerns
-- better compatibility with multiple runtimes
-
-As a result, calling core methods using `super.methodName()` is no longer reliable or supported in the same way.
-
----
-
-### New Approach in Wheels 3.0+
-
-To override a core Wheels method and still call the original implementation, you now use a **`super`-prefixed method name**.
-
-Instead of calling:
-
-```
-super.findAll()
-```
-
-You call:
-
-```
-superFindAll()
-```
-
----
-
-### Example: Overriding `findAll()`
-
-```javascript
-component extends="Model" {
-
-    function findAll() {
-        // custom logic before calling Wheels core method
-
-        return superFindAll();
-    }
-
-}
-```
-
-This allows you to:
-
-- safely override any core Wheels method
-- explicitly call the original Wheels implementation
-- avoid framework internals or brittle inheritance behavior
-
----
-
-### Key Notes
-
-- The `superMethodName()` convention applies only when overriding a core Wheels method
-- Method names are case-insensitive, following normal CFML rules
-- This behavior is available in Wheels 3.x and later
-- No changes are required for applications that do not override core methods
-
----
-
-### Migration Tip for Wheels 2.5 Applications
-
-If you are upgrading an application from Wheels 2.5 to 3.0+ and have overridden core methods:
-
-1. Search for usages of `super.methodName()`
-2. Replace them with `superMethodName()`
-3. Test overridden behavior to ensure expected results
-
-This small change restores the same extension capability that existed in Wheels 2.5, while remaining compatible with the updated framework architecture.

-# Submitting Pull Requests to Wheels
-
-This guide provides a step-by-step process for contributing code to Wheels through pull requests (PRs). It covers the entire workflow from setting up your development environment to getting your PR merged into the project.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you start contributing, make sure you have:
-
-1. A GitHub account
-2. Git installed on your local machine
-3. Docker installed (for running the test environment)
-4. Basic knowledge of Git commands and GitHub workflows
-5. Familiarity with Wheels and CFML
-
-## Setting Up Your Development Environment
-
-### 1. Fork the Wheels Repository
-
-Start by forking the Wheels repository to your own GitHub account:
-
-1. Visit [https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels)
-2. Click the "Fork" button in the upper right corner
-3. Select your GitHub account as the destination
-
-### 2. Clone Your Fork Locally
-
-Clone your fork to your local machine:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/wheels.git
-cd wheels
-```
-
-### 3. Add the Upstream Repository
-
-Add the main Wheels repository as an "upstream" remote to keep your fork in sync:
-
-```bash
-git remote add upstream https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels.git
-```
-
-See [Using the Test Environment](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/using-the-test-environment/) for more detailed instructions.
-
-## Contribution Workflow
-
-### 1. Find or Create an Issue
-
-Before writing any code, make sure there's an issue in the GitHub issue tracker:
-
-1. Check if an issue already exists for the bug or feature you want to work on
-2. If not, create a new issue describing the bug or feature
-3. Wait for feedback from the core team before proceeding
-
-### 2. Create a Feature Branch
-
-Once your issue is approved, create a feature branch in your local repository:
-
-```bash
-# First, sync your fork with upstream
-git fetch upstream
-git checkout develop
-git merge upstream/develop
-
-# Create a new branch
-git checkout -b feature/issue-NUMBER
-```
-
-Replace `NUMBER` with the issue number from GitHub. Use descriptive branch names:
-- `feature/issue-123` for new features
-- `fix/issue-123` for bug fixes
-- `docs/issue-123` for documentation updates
-
-### 3. Make Your Changes
-
-Now you can start coding! Remember to:
-
-- Follow the [Code Style Guide](https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels/wiki/Code-Style-Guide)
-- Add comments where appropriate
-- Write tests for your changes
-- Keep your changes focused on addressing the specific issue
-
-### 4. Test Your Changes
-
-#### Using the Docker Test Environment
-
-The Docker test environment allows you to test your changes against multiple CFML engines and databases:
-
-```bash
-# Start the test environment with specific components
-docker compose up lucee5 mysql testui -d
-
-# Access the TestUI at http://localhost:3000
-```
-
-#### Running Tests
-
-Use the TestUI or run tests directly:
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests across all engines (from TestUI)
-# or run specific tests via command line:
-docker exec -it wheels-test-lucee5 sh -c "cd /wheels-test-suite && box wheels test app"
-
-# Run a specific test
-docker exec -it wheels-test-lucee5 sh -c "cd /wheels-test-suite && box wheels test app TestName"
-```
-
-Make sure your changes:
-1. Pass all existing tests
-2. Include new tests for new functionality
-3. Work across all supported CFML engines
-
-### 5. Commit Your Changes
-
-Once your changes are ready and tested:
-
-```bash
-git add .
-git commit -m "fix: description of your changes (fixes #123)"
-```
-
-Follow these commit message guidelines:
-- Start with a type: `fix:`, `feat:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, etc.
-- Include a concise description of the changes
-- Reference the issue number with `(fixes #123)` or `(refs #123)`
-- Keep the subject line under 72 characters
-- Use the body of the commit message for additional details if needed
-
-### 6. Push Your Changes
-
-Push your branch to your fork on GitHub:
-
-```bash
-git push origin feature/issue-123
-```
-
-### 7. Create a Pull Request
-
-Create a pull request from your branch to the Wheels develop branch:
-
-1. Go to your fork on GitHub
-2. Click the "Compare & Pull Request" button for your branch
-3. Set the base repository to `wheels-dev/wheels` and the base branch to `develop`
-4. Fill out the PR template with:
-   - A clear description of the changes
-   - Reference to the issue being addressed
-   - Any special testing instructions
-   - Screenshots if applicable (for UI changes)
-
-### 8. Respond to Review Feedback
-
-After submitting your PR:
-
-1. A core team member will review your code
-2. They may request changes or clarification
-3. Make any requested changes by pushing additional commits to your branch
-4. The PR will be automatically updated
-
-### 9. Update Your PR if Needed
-
-If the develop branch has been updated since you created your PR, you may need to update your branch:
-
-```bash
-git checkout feature/issue-123
-git fetch upstream
-git merge upstream/develop
-# Resolve any conflicts if needed
-git push origin feature/issue-123
-```
-
-## Tips for Successful Pull Requests
-
-### Keep Changes Focused
-
-Each PR should address a single issue or implement a single feature. This makes review easier and reduces the chance of conflicts.
-
-### Include Tests
-
-Always include tests for your changes:
-- For bug fixes, add a test that would fail without your fix
-- For new features, add tests covering all functionality
-- Make sure all existing tests continue to pass
-
-### Update Documentation
-
-If your changes affect user-facing functionality, update the relevant documentation:
-- Update guides in the `/docs` directory
-- Add inline documentation to code
-- Update the CHANGELOG.md if requested
-
-### Use the Docker Environment Effectively
-
-The Docker test environment is a powerful tool for ensuring your changes work across platforms:
-- Test on multiple CFML engines (Lucee and Adobe ColdFusion)
-- Test with different database engines
-- Use the TestUI to run specific tests and view results
-
-## Working with the Core Team
-
-### Communication is Key
-
-Maintain open communication during the PR process:
-- Respond promptly to review comments
-- Ask questions if requirements are unclear
-- Be open to feedback and suggestions
-
-### Be Patient
-
-The core team members are volunteers with limited time. Review may take some time, especially for complex changes.
-
-### Participate in the Community
-
-While waiting for review, you can:
-- Help review other PRs
-- Answer questions in the discussions
-- Report bugs or improve documentation
-
-## After Your PR is Merged
-
-Once your PR is merged:
-
-1. Delete your feature branch
-   ```bash
-   git checkout develop
-   git branch -D feature/issue-123
-   ```
-
-2. Sync your fork with the updated upstream
-   ```bash
-   git fetch upstream
-   git merge upstream/develop
-   git push origin develop
-   ```
-
-3. Celebrate your contribution to Wheels! 🎉
-
-## Special Considerations
-
-### Breaking Changes
-
-If your change introduces breaking changes:
-- Clearly indicate this in the PR description
-- Explain why the breaking change is necessary
-- Document migration paths for users
-
-### Performance Considerations
-
-For changes that might impact performance:
-- Include before/after benchmarks if possible
-- Test with different load scenarios
-- Document any performance implications
-
-### Cross-Engine Compatibility
-
-Remember that Wheels supports multiple CFML engines:
-- Test on both Lucee and Adobe ColdFusion
-- Avoid engine-specific features or provide alternatives
-- Use the Docker environment to verify compatibility
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Contributing to Wheels through pull requests is a rewarding way to improve the framework and help the CFML community. By following this process, you'll help ensure that your contributions are high-quality, well-tested, and efficiently integrated into the project.

-title: Switching Environments
-description: Environments that match your development stages.
----
-
-# Switching Environments
-
-Wheels allows you to set up different _environments_ that match stages in your development cycle. That way you can configure different values that match what services to call and how your app behaves based on where you are in your development.
-
-The **Development** environment is the most convenient one to use as you start building your application because it does not cache any data. Therefore, if you make any changes to your controllers and actions, for example, it will immediately be picked up by Wheels.
-
-Other environment modes cache this information in order to speed up your application as much as possible. Making changes to the database in most of these modes will cause Wheels to throw an error. (Although that can be avoided with a `reload` call. More on that later.)
-
-The fastest environment mode in terms of page load time is the **Production** mode. This is what you should set your application to run in before you launch your website.
-
-By default, all new applications will start in the Development environment which is middle-of-the-road in terms of convenience versus speed.
-
-### The 4 Environment Modes
-
-Besides the 2 environments mentioned above, there are 2 more. Let's go through them all one by one so you can see the differences between them and choose the most appropriate one given your current stage of development.
-
-**Development**
-
-* Shows friendly Wheels specific errors as well as regular ColdFusion errors on screen.
-* Does not email you when an error is encountered.
-* Caches controller and model initialization (the `config()` methods).
-* Caches the database schema.
-* Caches routes.
-* Caches image information.
-
-**Production**
-
-* Caches everything that the Development mode caches.
-* Activates all developer controlled caching (actions, pages, queries and partials).
-* Shows your custom error page when an error is encountered.
-* Shows your custom 404 page when a controller or action is not found.
-* Sends an email to you when an error is encountered.
-
-**Testing**
-
-* Same caching settings as the Production mode but using the error handling of the Development mode. (Good for testing an application at its true speed while still getting errors reported on screen.)
-
-**Maintenance**
-
-* Shows your custom maintenance page unless the requesting IP address or user agent is in the exception list (set by calling `set(ipExceptions="127.0.0.1")` in `/config/settings.cfm` or passed along in the URL as `except=127.0.0.1`, or as `except=myuseragentstring` to match against the user agent instead. Please note that if passing an exception on the URL using the `except` parameter, you must also provide the `password` parameter if a reload password has been defined. This eliminates the possibility of a rogue actor breaking out of maintenance mode by simply adding an `except` to the URL.
-
-This environment mode comes in handy when you want to briefly take your website offline to upload changes or modify databases on production servers.
-
-### How to Switch Modes
-
-Wheels provides multiple ways to switch between environments. Choose the method that best fits your workflow:
-
-## Method 1: Using the CLI Command (Recommended)
-
-The easiest and most reliable way to switch environments is using the Wheels CLI command:
-
-```cfml
-wheels env switch production
-```
-
-This command will:
-1. Update the `set(environment="...")` setting in `/config/environment.cfm`
-2. Automatically reload the application to apply the changes
-3. Validate that the target environment exists before switching
-
-**Examples:**
-```cfml
-# Switch to production environment
-wheels env switch production
-
-# Switch to testing environment
-wheels env switch testing
-
-# Switch to development environment
-wheels env switch development
-```
-
-## Method 2: Manual File Editing
-
-If you prefer not to use the CLI command, you can manually change the environment by editing the `/config/environment.cfm` file:
-
-```cfml
-// /config/environment.cfm
-<cfscript>
-    // Change this value to your desired environment
-    set(environment="production");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-**Available environment values:**
-- `development` - For local development with full debugging
-- `production` - For live production servers with caching enabled
-- `testing` - For automated testing with production-like caching
-- `maintenance` - For temporarily taking your site offline
-
-After manually editing the file, you **must** reload the application using one of these methods:
-
-### Option A: URL-Based Reload
-
-Issue a reload request by passing `reload` as a URL parameter:
-
-```
-http://www.mysite.com/?reload=true
-```
-
-This tells Wheels to reload the entire framework (including your `/app/events/onapplicationstart.cfm` file), picking up any changes made in the `/config/environment.cfm` file.
-
-### Option B: Lazy URL Reloading
-
-For quick testing, you can temporarily switch environments without editing any files:
-
-```
-http://www.mysite.com/?reload=testing
-```
-
-This will make Wheels skip your `/config/environment.cfm` file and use the URL value instead (`testing` in this case). **Note:** This is temporary and will revert to the configured environment on the next application restart.
-
-### Option C: Server Restart
-
-Alternatively, you can restart the ColdFusion/Lucee service to reload the application and apply environment changes.
-
-## Password-Protected Reloads
-
-When using URL-based reload methods (Options A and B above), you should add protection by setting the `reloadPassword` variable in `/config/settings.cfm`:
-
-```cfml
-// /config/settings.cfm
-<cfscript>
-    set(reloadPassword="mySecurePassword");
-</cfscript>
-```
-
-When a password is set, reload requests must include the password parameter:
-
-```
-http://www.mysite.com/?reload=true&password=mySecurePassword
-http://www.mysite.com/?reload=testing&password=mySecurePassword
-```
-
-> ** WARNING: Always use a reload password in production**
->
-> You really don't want random users hitting `?reload=development` on a production server, as it could expose sensitive data about your application and error messages. **Always set a reload password for production environments!**
-
-**Note:** The `wheels env switch` CLI command bypasses URL-based reloads and directly updates the configuration file, so it's not affected by the reload password setting.
-
-### Disabling Environment Switching
-
-If you're deploying to a container based environment, or one that you _know_ you'll never want to switch out of production mode, you can disable URL based environment switching completely via:\
-`set(allowEnvironmentSwitchViaUrl = false);`
-
-This is just an additional check to ensure that your production mode acts in the way you expect! Application reloading is still allowed, but the configuration can not be altered.
-
-## IP-Based Debug Access in Non-Development Environments
-
-By default, Wheels only enables the debug GUI (wheels interface) and debug information in the development environment. However, there may be situations where you need access to these debugging tools in other environments like testing, production, or maintenance - but only for specific IP addresses.
-
-Wheels provides IP-based access control for the debug GUI and debug information through two configuration settings:
-
-### Configuration Settings
-
-Add these settings to your environment-specific configuration files (e.g., `/config/production/settings.cfm`):
-
-```cfml
-// Define allowed IP addresses that can access debug features
-set(debugAccessIPs = ["203.0.113.45", "198.51.100.22", "127.0.0.1"]);
-
-// Enable IP-based debug access control
-set(allowIPBasedDebugAccess = true);
-```
-
-### How It Works
-
-When these settings are configured:
-
-1. In the development environment, the debug GUI is always accessible regardless of IP address.
-2. In other environments (testing, production), the debug GUI and debug information will only be enabled for requests coming from IP addresses listed in the `debugAccessIPs` array.
-3. If a request comes from an IP address not in the list, the debug GUI and debug information remain disabled, maintaining security in production environments.
-
-### Example Configuration
-
-Here's a typical setup for different environments:
-
-**Development** (`/config/development/settings.cfm`):
-```cfml
-// Debug GUI is enabled by default in development, no additional settings needed
-```
-
-**Testing** (`/config/testing/settings.cfm`):
-```cfml
-set(debugAccessIPs = ["127.0.0.1", "192.168.1.100"]);
-set(allowIPBasedDebugAccess = true);
-```
-
-**Production** (`/config/production/settings.cfm`):
-```cfml
-set(debugAccessIPs = ["10.0.0.5"]); // Only specific admin IPs
-set(allowIPBasedDebugAccess = true);
-```
-
-This feature allows administrators to access debugging tools in production or other environments while keeping them secure from regular users, providing a flexible way to troubleshoot issues in all environments without compromising security.

-title: Testing Your Application
-description: A comprehensive guide to testing your Wheels application using WheelsTest...
----
-
-# Testing Your Application
-
-This guide provides comprehensive instructions for testing your Wheels application using WheelsTest — Wheels' in-house testing framework (a fork of Ortus TestBox). WheelsTest replaces the legacy RocketUnit framework and is included in your installation through box.json dependency management.
-
-## Overview
-
-WheelsTest is a next-generation testing framework for ColdFusion (CFML) based on BDD (Behavior Driven Development) and TDD (Test Driven Development), providing a clean, obvious syntax for writing tests. It serves as a comprehensive testing engine with multi-format output capabilities and database testing support.
-
-WheelsTest inherits its BDD syntax from upstream Ortus TestBox. For comprehensive BDD syntax reference, see the [upstream TestBox documentation](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/).
-
-### WheelsTest Features
-
-- BDD style or xUnit style testing
-- Testing life-cycle methods
-- MockBox integration for mocking and stubbing
-- Extensible reporters (JSON, XML, JUnit XML, Text, Console, TAP, HTML)
-- Asynchronous testing
-- Multi-suite capabilities
-- Test skipping and labels
-- Code coverage via FusionReactor
-
-For a complete list of features, see the [upstream TestBox features documentation](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/v6.x/getting-started/overview).
-
-## Project Directory Structure
-
-Based on real Wheels 3.0 projects, your test structure should be organized as follows:
-
-```
-your-app/
-├── app/
-│   ├── controllers/
-│   ├── models/
-│   └── views/
-├── config/
-├── public/
-├── tests/
-│   ├── _assets/
-│   ├── specs/
-│   │   ├── controllers/
-│   │   │   ├── ExampleControllerSpec.cfc
-│   │   │   ├── PostControllerSpec.cfc
-│   │   │   └── [Other Controller Tests]
-│   │   └── functions/
-│   │       └── ExampleSpec.cfc
-│   ├── populate.cfm
-│   ├── routes.cfm
-│   └── runner.cfm
-```
-
-**Note**: By default, WheelsTest runs tests located in the `tests/specs/` directory, unless configured otherwise.
-
-## WheelsTest Test Runner Configuration
-
-### Main Test Runner
-
-Update `tests/runner.cfm`:
-
-For detailed runner and configuration options, refer to the [upstream TestBox runners documentation](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/v6.x/getting-started/running-tests) (WheelsTest preserves the same runner API).

-## Writing Controller Tests
-
-WheelsTest test bundles should extend `wheels.WheelsTest` and use BDD syntax with `describe()`, `it()`, and `expect()`.
-
-For comprehensive BDD syntax and expectation reference, see the [upstream TestBox BDD primer](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/v6.x/getting-started/testbox-bdd-primer) and [expectations reference](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/v6.x/getting-started/testbox-bdd-primer/expectations).

-## Writing Function Tests
-
-For detailed information on testing functions and utility methods, refer to the [upstream TestBox xUnit primer](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/v6.x/getting-started/testbox-xunit-primer) (WheelsTest preserves the xUnit-style API).
-
-### Example Function Testing
-
-Create `tests/specs/functional/ExampleSpec.cfc`:
-
-```cfscript
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-    
-    function run() {
-            
-        describe("String Helper Functions", () => {
-            
-            it("should strip spaces correctly", () => {
-                var result = stripSpaces(" hello world ");
-                expect(result).toBe("helloworld");
-            });
-            
-            it("should format currency properly", () => {
-                var result = formatCurrency(1234.56);
-                expect(result).toInclude("$");
-                expect(result).toInclude("1,234.56");
-            });
-            
-        });
-        
-        describe("Date Helper Functions", () => {
-            
-            it("should format date correctly", () => {
-                var testDate = createDate(2024, 1, 15);
-                var result = formatDisplayDate(testDate);
-                expect(result).toInclude("Jan");
-                expect(result).toInclude("15");
-                expect(result).toInclude("2024");
-            });
-            
-        });
-        
-        describe("Validation Functions", () => {
-            
-            it("should validate email addresses", () => {
-                expect(isValidEmail("test@example.com")).toBeTrue();
-                expect(isValidEmail("invalid-email")).toBeFalse();
-                expect(isValidEmail("")).toBeFalse();
-            });
-            
-            it("should validate phone numbers", () => {
-                expect(isValidPhone("(555) 123-4567")).toBeTrue();
-                expect(isValidPhone("555-123-4567")).toBeTrue();
-                expect(isValidPhone("invalid")).toBeFalse();
-            });
-            
-        });
-        
-    }
-}

-## Running Your Tests
-
-### Wheels 3.0 Test URL Structure
-
-Wheels 3.0 provides convenient URL routing for both WheelsTest and legacy RocketUnit testing:
-
-**WheelsTest URLs:**
-
-```
-# Run your application WheelsTest specs
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/app/tests
-
-# Run Wheels core framework specs
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/core/tests
-```
-
-**Legacy Testing URLs (RocketUnit):**
-
-```
-# Run your application legacy tests
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/legacy/app/tests
-
-# Run Wheels core framework legacy tests
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/legacy/core/tests
-```
-
-### Web Interface Access
-
-Access your WheelsTest tests through multiple formats:
-
-```
-# HTML Interface (default)
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/app/tests
-
-# JSON Output (for CI/CD)
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/app/tests?format=json
-
-# Plain Text Output
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/app/tests?format=txt
-```
-
-For more information on running tests and available formats, see the [upstream TestBox web runner documentation](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/v6.x/getting-started/running-tests/test-runner).
-
-### Framework Core Testing
-
-You can also run tests for the Wheels framework itself:
-
-```
-# Run Wheels core WheelsTest specs
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/core/tests
-
-# Run Wheels core legacy tests  
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/legacy/core/tests
-```
-
-### Advanced URL Parameters
-
-Customize your test runs using the convenient URLs:
-
-```

-For detailed guidance on what to test and testing strategies, see the [upstream TestBox testing and code coverage documentation](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/v6.x/digging-deeper/introduction).
-
-## Common Gotchas
-
-### CFML Closure Scoping
-
-Closures in CFML have their own `local` scope. You **cannot** read or write outer `local` variables from inside a closure — assignments create a new variable in the closure's scope instead.
-
-```cfm
-// WRONG — count inside the closure is a different variable
-var count = 0;
-model("User").findEach(callback = function(user) {
-    count++; // Modifies the closure's own local.count, not the outer one
-});
-expect(count).toBe(10); // FAILS — count is still 0
-
-// RIGHT — use a shared struct (structs are passed by reference)
-var result = {count: 0};
-model("User").findEach(callback = function(user) {
-    result.count++; // Modifies the shared struct
-});
-expect(result.count).toBe(10); // PASSES
-```
-
-This applies to any test that passes a closure to a Wheels method (`findEach`, `findInBatches`, callbacks, etc.).
-
-### Model Cache Requires Reload After Adding New Models
-
-When you add a new model CFC to `tests/_assets/models/`, the first test run may fail with errors like `table 'authorscopeds' not found`. This happens because Wheels caches model metadata and hasn't loaded your new model's `config()` method yet — so it falls back to convention-based table naming.
-
-**Fix:** Append `&reload=true` to the test runner URL to clear the model cache:
-
-```
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/app/tests?format=json&directory=tests.specs.models&reload=true
-```
-
-You only need to do this once after adding or renaming model CFCs. Subsequent runs without `&reload=true` will work fine.
-
-### Use DROP + CREATE in populate.cfm, Not IF NOT EXISTS
-
-When setting up test tables in `populate.cfm`, always drop and recreate tables rather than using `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`:
-
-```cfm
-<!--- WRONG — if the table exists from a previous run with a different schema,
-      IF NOT EXISTS skips the CREATE and your new columns are missing --->
-<cfquery datasource="#application.wheels.dataSourceName#">
-    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS my_test_table (...)
-</cfquery>
-
-<!--- RIGHT — DROP first guarantees a clean schema every time --->
-<cftry>
-    <cfquery datasource="#application.wheels.dataSourceName#">
-        DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_test_table
-    </cfquery>
-    <cfcatch></cfcatch>
-</cftry>
-<cfquery datasource="#application.wheels.dataSourceName#">
-    CREATE TABLE my_test_table (...)
-</cfquery>
-```
-
-**Why?** If you add a column to a test table (e.g., adding a `status` column for enum tests), `IF NOT EXISTS` silently skips the `CREATE` when the table already exists from a previous test run — and the new column is missing. DROP + CREATE ensures the schema matches your current test requirements.
-
-{% hint style="warning" %}
-When dropping tables, drop child tables (with foreign keys) before parent tables to avoid constraint errors.
-{% endhint %}
-
-### Test Model CFCs Must Override the Table Name
-
-Test models in `tests/_assets/models/` should always call `table()` in their `config()` to explicitly set the table name. Without it, Wheels pluralizes the component name using conventions — which often produces unexpected results for compound names.
-
-```cfm
-// Without table() override, Wheels would look for a table called "authorscopeds"
-component extends="Model" {
-    function config() {
-        table("c_o_r_e_authors"); // Explicit table name
-        scope(name="active", where="active = 1");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### WheelsTest JSON Output Contains Non-Standard Booleans
-
-When parsing WheelsTest JSON results programmatically (e.g., in CI/CD scripts), be aware that the WheelsTest runner may produce JSON with unquoted `true`/`false` boolean values, which can cause strict JSON parsers to fail.
-
-**Workaround:** Use Node.js `JSON.parse()` instead of tools like `jq` for parsing test results:
-
-```bash
-curl -sL "http://localhost:8080/wheels/app/tests?format=json" > results.json
-node -e "const j = JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('results.json','utf8')); console.log('Passed:', j.totalPass, '| Failed:', j.totalFail)"
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-For comprehensive testing best practices and advanced techniques, refer to the [upstream TestBox life-cycle methods documentation](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/v6.x/digging-deeper/life-cycle-methods) (WheelsTest preserves the same lifecycle).
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-**Naming Convention for Test Specs**
-
-Always name your test specs with `Test` or `Spec` in their filename, otherwise WheelsTest won’t detect and run them.
-{% endhint %}

-## Legacy RocketUnit Testing Framework
-
-> **Note**: This section documents the legacy RocketUnit testing framework used in earlier Wheels versions. For new Wheels applications, use the WheelsTest approach documented above. This information is maintained for reference and migration purposes.
-
-## Legacy RocketUnit Overview
-
-Prior to Wheels 3.0, the framework used RocketUnit as its testing infrastructure. RocketUnit was a comprehensive testing framework that provided both unit testing and integration testing capabilities specifically tailored for Wheels applications.
-
-At some point, your code is going to break. Upgrades, feature enhancements, and bug fixes are all part of the development lifecycle. Quite often with deadlines, you don't have the time to test the functionality of your entire application with every change you make.
-
-The problem is that today's fix could be tomorrow's bug. What if there were an automated way of checking if that change you're making is going to break something? That's where writing tests for your application can be invaluable.
-
-### Legacy RocketUnit Features
-
-RocketUnit provided a complete testing solution with the following features:
-
-- **Unit Testing**: Testing individual functions and methods in isolation
-- **Integration Testing**: Testing complete request flows and component interactions
-- **Assertion Library**: Comprehensive set of assertion methods for validation
-- **Test Lifecycle Management**: Setup and teardown methods for test preparation
-- **Package Organization**: Hierarchical test organization and execution
-- **Multiple Output Formats**: HTML, text, and custom reporting formats
-- **Database Testing Support**: Built-in database seeding and cleanup capabilities
-
-### Legacy Directory Structure
-
-The legacy RocketUnit testing framework used a specific directory structure within your Wheels application:
-
-```
-your-app/
-├── tests/
-│   ├── Test.cfc                 # Parent test component (extends wheels.Test)
-│   ├── functions/               # Function-level unit tests
-│   │   └── Example.cfc         # Example function tests
-│   └── requests/               # Integration tests for request flows
-│       └── Example.cfc         # Example request tests
-└── wheels/
-    ├── Test.cfc                # Core testing framework component
-    └── test/
-        └── functions.cfm       # Testing framework implementation
-```
-
-### Legacy Test Components
-
-#### 1. tests/Test.cfc - Parent Test Component
-
-This was the base component that all test components should extend:
-
-```cfscript
-component extends="wheels.Test" hint="I am the parent test." {
-    
-    function beforeAll() {
-        // Executes once before the test suite runs
-    }
-    
-    function setup() {
-        // Executes before every test case
-    }
-    
-    function teardown() {
-        // Executes after every test case
-    }
-    
-    function afterAll() {
-        // Executes once after the test suite runs
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Key Features:**
-
-- **Lifecycle Methods**: Provided complete test lifecycle management
-- **Framework Integration**: Extended wheels.Test for full framework integration
-- **Documentation Support**: Included section and category metadata
-
-#### 2. tests/functions/Example.cfc - Function Testing
-
-Example test file for testing controller, model, and global functions:
-
-```cfscript
-component extends="app.tests.Test" hint="I am an example test for functions." {
-    
-    function packageSetup() {
-        // Executes once before this package's first test case
-    }
-    
-    function packageTeardown() {
-        // Executes once after this package's last test case
-    }
-    
-    function testExample() {
-        // Example test with simple assertion
-        assert('true');
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Key Features:**
-
-- **Package-level Lifecycle**: Setup and teardown for entire test packages
-- **Unit Testing Focus**: Designed for testing individual functions in isolation
-- **Simple Assertions**: Used basic assert() statements for validation
-
-#### 3. tests/requests/Example.cfc - Integration Testing
-
-Example test file for integration testing where controllers, models, and other components work together:
-
-```cfscript
-component extends="app.tests.Test" hint="I am an example test for requests." {
-    
-    function packageSetup() {
-        // Setup for integration test package
-    }
-    
-    function packageTeardown() {
-        // Cleanup for integration test package
-    }
-    
-    function testRequestFlow() {
-        // Test complete request processing
-        assert('true');
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Key Features:**
-
-- **Integration Testing**: Tested complete request flows and component interactions
-- **Request Context**: Simulated full HTTP request/response cycles
-- **Component Interaction**: Validated how controllers, models, and views worked together
-
-### Legacy Core Testing Framework
-
-#### wheels/Test.cfc - Core Testing Component
-
-The core testing framework component provided all testing functionality:
-
-```cfscript
-component hint="I am the testing framework for Wheels applications." {
-    
-    public any function $runTest() {
-        // Main test execution method
-    }
-    
-    public void function assert(required any expression) {
-        // Basic assertion method
-    }
-    
-    public void function fail(string message = "") {
-        // Explicit test failure
-    }
-    
-    public any function debug(required any expression) {
-        // Debug expression evaluation
-    }
-    
-    public string function raised(required any expression) {
-        // Error catching and type return
-    }
-}
-```
-
-#### wheels/test/functions.cfm - Framework Implementation
-
-The comprehensive testing framework implementation included:
-
-**Assertion Functions:**
-
-- `assert(expression)` - Evaluated expressions and recorded failures
-- `fail(message)` - Explicitly failed tests with custom messages
-- `debug(expression)` - Examined expressions during testing
-- `raised(expression)` - Caught and returned error types
-
-### Legacy Testing Philosophy and Structure
-
-The RocketUnit framework followed these organizational principles:
-
-#### Test Packages
-
-Collections of test cases organized in directories, allowing for:
-
-- Logical grouping of related tests
-- Package-level setup and teardown
-- Hierarchical test execution
-- Modular test organization
-
-#### Test Cases
-
-Components containing multiple tests for specific functionality:
-
-- Focused on single areas of functionality
-- Contained multiple related test methods
-- Provided component-level lifecycle management
-- Extended the base Test component
-
-#### Tests
-
-Methods starting with "test" that contained assertions:
-
-- Named with descriptive test names (e.g., `testUserValidation()`)
-- Contained one or more assertion statements
-- Focused on specific behaviors or outcomes
-- Used simple assertion syntax
-
-#### Assertions
-
-Statements that should evaluate to true for tests to pass:
-
-- `assert(expression)` - Basic true/false validation
-- `fail(message)` - Explicit test failure with custom message
-- `debug(expression)` - Expression evaluation for debugging
-- `raised(expression)` - Error handling and type checking
-
-### Legacy Test Execution and Management
-
-#### Running Tests
-
-The RocketUnit framework supported multiple execution patterns:
-
-**Entire Test Packages:**
-
-```
-# Run all tests in functions package
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/packages/app?package=functions
-
-# Run all tests in requests package  
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/packages/app?package=requests
-```
-
-**Specific Test Cases:**
-
-```
-# Run specific test component
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/packages/app?package=functions&test=Example
-
-# Run individual test method
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/packages/app?package=functions&test=Example&method=testExample
-```
-
-**With Filtering Options:**
-
-```
-# Run tests with specific labels
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/packages/app?labels=unit,fast
-
-# Exclude slow tests
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/packages/app?exclude=slow,integration
-```
-
-#### Test Types Supported
-
-The framework supported different categories of tests:
-
-**Core Tests**: Framework-level tests for Wheels components
-**App Tests**: Application-specific tests for your code
-**Plugin Tests**: Tests for Wheels plugins and extensions
-
-#### Advanced Legacy Features
-
-**Database Seeding Capabilities:**
-
-- Automatic test database population
-- Data cleanup between tests
-- Transaction-based test isolation
-- Custom seeding scripts
-
-**Test Environment Initialization:**
-
-- Isolated test environment setup
-- Configuration override capabilities
-- Mock service integration
-- Resource allocation and cleanup
-
-**Debugging and Output Formatting:**
-
-- Detailed test execution reports
-- Error stack traces and debugging info
-- Performance timing information
-- Custom output formatters
-
-**Error Handling and Reporting:**
-
-- Comprehensive error capture
-- Test failure analysis
-- Exception type categorization
-- Detailed failure reporting
-
-### Legacy Usage Patterns
-
-#### Test Organization Structure
-
-```
-tests/functions/     # Unit testing individual functions
-tests/requests/     # Integration testing request flows
-tests/models/       # Model-specific testing (optional)
-tests/controllers/  # Controller-specific testing (optional)
-```
-
-#### Lifecycle Management Hierarchy
-
-1. **Suite Level**: `beforeAll()` and `afterAll()` for entire test suite
-2. **Package Level**: `packageSetup()` and `packageTeardown()` for test packages  
-3. **Test Case Level**: `setup()` and `teardown()` for individual test cases
-
-#### Example Legacy Test Structure
-
-```cfscript
-component extends="app.tests.Test" {
-    
-    function packageSetup() {
-        variables.testData = {
-            user: { username: "testuser", email: "test@example.com" }
-        };
-    }
-    
-    function setup() {
-        variables.testUser = model("User").create(variables.testData.user);
-    }
-    
-    function testUserCreation() {
-        assert('StructKeyExists(variables, "testUser")');
-        assert('variables.testUser.persisted()');
-        assert('variables.testUser.username eq "testuser"');
-    }
-    
-    function testUserValidation() {
-        invalidUser = model("User").new({username: "", email: "invalid"});
-        assert('NOT invalidUser.valid()');
-        assert('invalidUser.hasErrors()');
-    }
-    
-    function teardown() {
-        if (StructKeyExists(variables, "testUser")) {
-            variables.testUser.delete();
-        }
-    }
-    
-    function packageTeardown() {
-        // Cleanup package-level resources
-    }
-}
-```
-

-
-### Migration from Legacy RocketUnit to WheelsTest
-
-When migrating from the legacy RocketUnit system to WheelsTest, consider the following mapping:
-
-#### Syntax Migration
-
-- `assert(expression)` → `expect(result).toBeTrue()`
-- `fail(message)` → `fail(message)` (same syntax)
-- `debug(expression)` → `debug(expression)` (same syntax)
-- Test methods → Wrapped in `describe()` and `it()` blocks
-
-#### Structure Migration
-
-- `tests/functions/` → `tests/specs/functional/`
-- `tests/requests/` → `tests/specs/controllers/`
-- Component extensions change from `app.tests.Test` to `wheels.WheelsTest`
-- File names changed to include `Spec` or `Test` to align with WheelsTest naming requirements
-
-#### Lifecycle Migration
-

-### Legacy Reference and Historical Context
-
-The RocketUnit framework served the Wheels community well for many years, providing a solid foundation for test-driven development in CFML applications. While WheelsTest now provides more modern BDD/TDD capabilities, understanding the legacy system helps with:
-
-- **Migration Planning**: Understanding existing test structures for conversion
-- **Historical Context**: Appreciating the evolution of CFML testing frameworks
-- **Legacy Maintenance**: Supporting older Wheels applications still using RocketUnit
-- **Framework Archaeology**: Understanding the testing heritage of the Wheels framework
-
-The comprehensive testing infrastructure provided by RocketUnit established many of the testing patterns and practices that continue in the modern WheelsTest implementation, ensuring continuity and familiarity for developers transitioning between the frameworks.
-
----
-
-This comprehensive testing approach ensures your Wheels 3.0 application is thoroughly validated across all components, provides multi-format output for different environments, and supports various database configurations for complete coverage while maintaining reference information for legacy RocketUnit systems.
-
-## Running Legacy RocketUnit Tests in Wheels 3.0
-
-If you already have application-level tests written with RocketUnit in a Wheels 2.x app, you don’t need to rewrite them immediately when upgrading to Wheels 3.0. Wheels 3.0 still provides backward compatibility for running RocketUnit tests alongside WheelsTest.
-To run your existing RocketUnit tests:
-
-1. Copy the entire contents of that `tests/` folder.
-2. Paste the copied folder into your Wheels 3.0 application under `tests/RocketUnit/`.
-3. Run the legacy tests by visiting the RocketUnit runner in your browser:
-http://localhost:8080/wheels/legacy/app/tests
-
-
-This approach lets you continue running your legacy RocketUnit test suite unchanged inside a Wheels 3.0 project while you gradually migrate to WheelsTest. It’s particularly useful for teams upgrading large applications where a complete migration cannot be done in one step.

-title: Using the Wheels Test Environment
-description: Learn how to use the Docker-based Wheels test environment for testing core framework contributions...
----
-
-# Using the Wheels Test Environment
-
-Wheels includes a comprehensive test environment specifically designed for testing the core framework itself. This environment is crucial for contributors to ensure their changes pass all tests across multiple platforms before submitting pull requests. This guide covers how to use the Docker-based test environment effectively.
-
-## Overview
-
-The Wheels test environment uses Docker containers to provide a standardized setup for testing core framework functionality across:
-
-- Multiple CFML engines (Lucee 5/6/7, Adobe ColdFusion 2018/2021/2023/2025, BoxLang 1.x)
-- Multiple database platforms (MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, H2, Oracle, SQLite)
-- A modern test user interface (TestUI)
-- Automated test execution capabilities
-
-This containerized approach ensures that all core framework tests run consistently across platforms, helping maintain compatibility across all supported environments.
-
-> **Important**: This test environment is specifically for running the core framework tests to validate contributions to the Wheels project. If you're looking to test your own Wheels-based application, please refer to [Testing Your Application](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/testing-your-application/) for guidance on setting up tests within your application.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-To use the Wheels core test environment, you'll need:
-
-1. [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) installed and running
-2. [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) to clone the Wheels repository
-3. [CommandBox](https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox) installed to manage dependencies and run commands
-4. Basic familiarity with command-line operations
-
-## Setting Up the Test Environment
-
-### 1. Clone the Wheels Repository
-
-If you haven't already done so, clone the Wheels repository:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/wheels-dev/wheels.git
-cd wheels
-```
-
-### 2. Install Dependencies with CommandBox
-
-Before running tests, you need to install dependencies using CommandBox:
-
-```bash
-# Start CommandBox (if not using the globally installed version)
-box
-
-# Install dependencies
-install
-
-# Exit CommandBox shell (if you entered it)
-exit
-```
-
-Alternatively, you can run the install command directly:
-
-```bash
-box install
-```
-
-This will install all the necessary dependencies specified in the `box.json` file.
-
-### 3. Start the Test Environment
-
-The test environment uses Docker Compose profiles to selectively start components. Use one of the following commands based on your needs:
-
-```bash
-# Start everything (all engines, databases, and test UI)
-docker compose up -d
-
-# Start just the test UI
-docker compose up -d testui
-
-# Start a specific CFML engine and database
-docker compose up -d lucee6 mysql
-```
-
-The first time you run these commands, Docker will build or download the necessary images, which may take several minutes.
-
-### 4. Access the Test User Interface
-
-Once the containers are running, access the TestUI by navigating to:
-
-```
-http://localhost:3000
-```
-
-This web interface allows you to:
-- Select CFML engines and databases for testing
-- Run specific test suites or individual tests
-- View test results and error details
-- Manage Docker containers directly from the UI
-
-## Available Docker Profiles
-
-In order to run all CFML engines, databases, and the TestUI, use this command:
-
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-Besides this, test environment supports multiple profiles that you can run individually using `docker compose up -d [profile]`:
-
-| Profile | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| `testui` | Just the modern TestUI |
-| `lucee5` | Lucee 5 engine |
-| `lucee6` | Lucee 6 engine |
-| `lucee7` | Lucee 7 engine |
-| `adobe2018` | Adobe ColdFusion 2018 engine |
-| `adobe2021` | Adobe ColdFusion 2021 engine |
-| `adobe2023` | Adobe ColdFusion 2023 engine |
-| `adobe2025` | Adobe ColdFusion 2025 engine |
-| `boxlang` | BoxLang 1 engine |
-| `mysql` | MySQL database only |
-| `postgres` | PostgreSQL database only |
-| `sqlserver` | SQL Server database only |
-| `oracle` | Oracle Server database only |
-
-You can combine multiple profiles by specifying them together:
-
-```bash
-docker compose up -d lucee6 mysql testui
-```
-
-## Running Core Framework Tests
-
-When contributing to Wheels, it's essential to run tests against various engine-database combinations to ensure compatibility. Here's how to run tests in different scenarios:
-
-### Via the TestUI
-
-1. Open the TestUI at http://localhost:3000
-2. Select the CFML engine and database you want to test against (e.g., Lucee 5 + MySQL)
-3. Select the test bundle or specific test to run
-4. Click "Run Tests" to execute them
-5. View the results in the UI
-6. Repeat with different engine-database combinations to ensure full compatibility
-
-### Via Command Line
-
-You can also run tests directly via command line for specific engine-database combinations:
-
-#### Testing with Lucee 5 and MySQL
-
-```bash
-# Connect to the Lucee 5 container
-docker exec -it wheels-test-lucee5 /bin/bash
-
-# Run all tests
-cd /wheels-test-suite
-box wheels test app
-
-# Run a specific test bundle
-box wheels test app --testBundles=controllers
-```
-
-#### Testing with Adobe ColdFusion 2021 and SQL Server
-
-```bash
-# Connect to the Adobe 2021 container
-docker exec -it wheels-test-adobe2021 /bin/bash
-
-# Run all tests
-cd /wheels-test-suite
-box wheels test app
-
-# Specify a test bundle
-box wheels test app --testBundles=models
-```
-
-#### Testing with Lucee 6 and PostgreSQL
-
-```bash
-# Connect to the Lucee 6 container
-docker exec -it wheels-test-lucee6 /bin/bash
-
-# Run all tests
-cd /wheels-test-suite
-box wheels test app
-
-# Run a specific test with specific options
-box wheels test app --testBundles=core&testSpecs=testCaseOne
-```
-
-### Running Comprehensive Test Suite
-
-For thorough testing before submitting a PR, you should run tests on multiple engine-database combinations:
-
-1. Test with Lucee 5 + MySQL (minimum requirement)
-2. Test with at least one Adobe ColdFusion version (e.g., CF 2021)
-3. Test with at least one alternative database (e.g., SQL Server or PostgreSQL)
-
-### Via CommandBox Locally
-
-You can also run tests locally using CommandBox without Docker, though this will only test against your locally installed CFML engine:
-
-```bash
-# Start a server
-box server start
-
-# Run all tests
-box wheels test app
-
-# Run tests with specific parameters
-box wheels test app --testBundles=controllers
-```
-
-## Test Environment Components
-
-### CFML Engines
-
-| Engine | Container Name | Port |
-|--------|----------------|------|
-| Lucee 5 | wheels-lucee5-1 | 60005 |
-| Lucee 6 | wheels-lucee6-1 | 60006 |
-| Lucee 7 | wheels-lucee7-1 | 60007 |

-
-## Pre-flight Checks and Container Management
-
-The TestUI includes features to help manage the test environment:
-
-1. **Pre-flight Checks**: Verify that all required containers are running before executing tests
-2. **Container Management**: Start, stop, and restart containers directly from the UI
-3. **Container Profiles**: Manage predefined sets of containers for specific testing needs
-
-## Creating New Core Framework Tests
-
-When contributing to Wheels, you may need to create new tests for your code changes:
-
-1. Create a new test file in the appropriate directory:
-   - For core functions: `vendor/wheels/tests/specs/functional/YourTest.cfc`
-
-If you are adding in the already created test files, then you have to add in the same tests file, otherwise you can create a separate test file.
-
-2. Follow the TestBox syntax for your tests:
-
-```cfml
-component extends="wheels.WheelsTest" {
-    
-   function run() {
-
-      describe("test_your_feature", () => {
-
-         beforeEach(() => {
-            // Code to run before each test
-         })
-
-         afterEach(() => {
-            // Code to run after each test
-         })
-
-         it("test_your_feature_test", () => {
-            // Your test code
-            assert(true);
-         })
-      })
-   }
-}
-```
-
-3. Run your new test using the methods described above to ensure it passes on all engine-database combinations
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **Container won't start**: 
-   - Check container logs: `docker logs container_name`
-   - Ensure ports aren't already in use on your system
-   - Try stopping and removing all containers: `docker compose down`
-
-2. **Tests fail inconsistently**:
-   - Ensure your database container is healthy
-   - Check for resource constraints (memory/CPU)
-   - Use the pre-flight feature in the TestUI to verify container health
-
-3. **Port conflicts**:
-   - Edit the port mappings in compose.yml if needed
-   - Use `docker ps` to see what ports are in use
-
-4. **CommandBox issues**:
-   - Make sure CommandBox is properly installed and in your PATH
-   - Try running `box version` to verify installation
-   - Update CommandBox with `box upgrade` if you encounter compatibility issues
-
-5. **Tests pass on one engine but fail on another**:
-   - This typically indicates an engine compatibility issue
-   - Check for engine-specific functions or behaviors
-   - Use conditional code with proper engine detection when necessary
-
-### Viewing Logs
-
-```bash
-# View logs from a specific container
-docker logs wheels-test-lucee5
-
-# Follow logs in real-time
-docker logs -f wheels-test-lucee5
-```
-
-### Container Shell Access
-
-```bash
-# Connect to a running container
-docker exec -it wheels-test-lucee5 /bin/bash
-```
-
-## Keeping the Test Environment Updated
-
-To update your test environment to the latest version:
-
-```bash
-# Pull the latest code
-git pull
-
-# Update dependencies
-box install
-
-# Rebuild the containers
-docker compose build
-
-# Restart the environment
-docker compose down
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-## Conclusion
-
-The Wheels test environment is a critical tool for ensuring that contributions to the core framework work consistently across all supported platforms. By thoroughly testing your changes across different CFML engines and databases, you help maintain the high quality and broad compatibility that Wheels users expect.
-
-After verifying that your changes pass all tests, you're ready to submit a pull request. For detailed instructions on the PR process, see [Submitting Pull Requests](/v4-0-0-snapshot/working-with-wheels/submitting-pull-requests/).
