+# Cecil AI Coding Agent Instructions
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Cecil is a PHP-based static site generator (SSG) that converts Markdown content + Twig templates → static HTML websites. The current active branch `php-di` is migrating from manual instantiation to PHP-DI dependency injection.
+
+**Core architecture**: Content → Builder (orchestrator) → Steps pipeline → Twig renderer → Static output
+
+## Key Architecture Patterns
+
+### Build Pipeline (Critical)
+
+The `Builder` class orchestrates the build through a sequential pipeline defined in `Builder::STEPS`:
+
+```text
+1. Load (Pages/Data/StaticFiles) → 2. Create (Pages/Taxonomies/Menus) →
+3. Process (Convert/Generate/Render) → 4. Save (StaticFiles/Pages/Assets) →
+5. Optimize (Html/Css/Js/Images)
+```
+
+All steps implement `StepInterface` and extend `AbstractStep` (see [src/Step/](src/Step/)). Each step receives `Builder`, `Config`, and `LoggerInterface` via DI.
+
+### Dependency Injection (NEW - Active Migration)
+
+**Container initialization** happens in `Builder::__construct()` via `ContainerFactory::create()`:
+
+```php
+// Dependencies defined in config/dependencies.php
+// Uses autowiring by default for most services
+// Specific bindings for: Parsedown, GeneratorManager, Twig factory, Cache
+```
+
+**Adding new services**:
+
+1. Use constructor injection with type hints (autowired automatically)
+2. For complex setup, add explicit binding to `config/dependencies.php`
+3. Steps, Generators, and Commands automatically get `Builder`, `Config`, `Logger`
+
+See [docs/di/README.md](docs/di/README.md) for comprehensive DI guide.
+
+### Collections System
+
+- **Page collection** (`Collection\Page\Collection`): Core content container with filtering/sorting
+- **Pages** (`Collection\Page\Page`): Individual content items with front matter + body + metadata
+- **Taxonomies** (`Collection\Taxonomy\*`): Vocabulary/Term hierarchies (tags, categories)
+
+Page properties: `id`, `slug`, `path`, `section`, `type`, `frontmatter`, `body`, `html`, `rendered[]`
+
+## Content Processing Flow
+
+1. **Load**: Parse Markdown files from `pages/` → create Page objects
+2. **Convert**: Parsedown converts Markdown → HTML (`body` → `html`)
+3. **Generate**: Apply generators (pagination, taxonomies, etc.) → create virtual pages
+4. **Render**: Twig templates + page variables → final HTML
+5. **Save**: Write to `_site/` (or configured output directory)
+
+## Template System (Twig)
+
+**Template lookup order** (see `Builder::STEPS` docs):
+
+- User's `layouts/` dir → theme's `layouts/` → built-in `resources/layouts/`
+- Naming: `<section>/<layout>.<format>.<language>.twig` (e.g., `blog/list.html.fr.twig`)
+
+**Custom Twig extensions**: Place in `extensions/Cecil/Renderer/Extension/` and register in config:
+
+```yaml
+layouts:
+  extensions:
+    MyExtension: Cecil\Renderer\Extension\MyExtension
+```
+
+**Key filters/functions**: See [src/Renderer/Extension/Core.php](src/Renderer/Extension/Core.php)
+
+- Filters: `filter_by`, `sort_by_*`, `markdown_to_html`, `to_css`, `minify`, `resize`
+- Functions: `url()`, `asset()`, `image()`, `readtime()`, `getenv()`
+
+## Development Workflows
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+composer test              # Integration tests
+composer test:cli          # CLI integration tests
+composer test:coverage     # With coverage report
+```
+
+Test fixtures in `tests/fixtures/website/` - full site structure for testing.
+
+### Code Quality
+
+```bash
+composer code             # Run all checks (analyse + md + fix + style)
+composer code:analyse     # PHPStan static analysis (level 2)
+composer code:fix         # PHP-CS-Fixer (PSR-12)
+composer code:style       # PHP_CodeSniffer
+```
+
+Configuration files: `.phpmd-rules.xml`, `phpstan.neon`, `.php-cs-fixer.php`
+
+### Building PHAR
+
+```bash
+composer build:phar       # Creates dist/cecil.phar via Box
+composer build:package    # Creates standalone package with PHP binary via phpacker
+composer test:phar        # Test the PHAR with demo site
+```
+
+Config: `box.json`, `phpacker.json`
+
+### Local Development
+
+```bash
+php bin/cecil build [path] [--drafts] [--optimize]
+php bin/cecil serve       # Dev server with livereload
+php bin/cecil clear       # Clear all caches
+```
+
+Debug mode: Set `debug: true` in `cecil.yml` or `CECIL_DEBUG=true` env var
+
+## Configuration System
+
+Config cascade: `config/base.php` → `config/default.php` → `cecil.yml` → CLI options
+
+- **base.php**: Core defaults (generators priority, page defaults, output formats)
+- **default.php**: User-facing defaults (layouts, optimization, cache)
+- **dependencies.php**: DI container bindings
+
+Access: `$this->config->get('key.subkey')` or `$this->builder->getConfig()`
+
+## Project-Specific Conventions
+
+### Namespace Structure
+
+```text
+Cecil\
+├─ Builder, Config, Cache, Url       # Core services
+├─ Collection\                       # Content collections
+│  ├─ Page\, Menu\, Taxonomy\
+├─ Step\                            # Build pipeline steps
+│  ├─ Pages\, Data\, StaticFiles\, Optimize\
+├─ Generator\                       # Page generators (virtual pages)
+├─ Renderer\                        # Twig + extensions
+├─ Converter\                       # Markdown/content conversion
+└─ Command\                         # Symfony Console commands
+```
+
+### File Naming
+
+- Classes: PascalCase, match namespace structure
+- Tests: `*Test.php` suffix
+- Config: lowercase with `.php` extension
+- Templates: `<type>.<format>.<lang?>.twig`
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Use typed exceptions from `Exception/` namespace
+- Steps should log errors via `$this->logger` before throwing
+- Catch exceptions in `Builder` to show user-friendly messages
+
+## External Integrations
+
+- **Symfony Components**: Console, Finder, Filesystem, Yaml, Serializer, Translation
+- **Twig**: Core template engine + extras (Intl, String, Cache)
+- **Parsedown**: Markdown conversion (extended in `Converter/Parsedown.php`)
+- **Intervention Image**: Image manipulation and optimization
+- **SCSS/PHP**: CSS preprocessing via `scssphp/scssphp`
+
+## Critical Files for Context
+
+- [src/Builder.php](src/Builder.php): Main orchestrator, understand this first
+- [config/dependencies.php](config/dependencies.php): DI container bindings
+- [src/Step/AbstractStep.php](src/Step/AbstractStep.php): Base class for all build steps
+- [src/Collection/Page/Page.php](src/Collection/Page/Page.php): Core content model
+- [src/Renderer/Twig.php](src/Renderer/Twig.php): Template engine initialization
+- [docs/di/README.md](docs/di/README.md): Complete DI migration guide
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+**Adding a new build step**:
+
+1. Create class in `src/Step/<Category>/` extending `AbstractStep`
+2. Implement `process()` method
+3. Add to `Builder::STEPS` array (order matters!)
+4. Register in `config/dependencies.php` with `autowire()`
+
+**Adding a new generator**:
+
+1. Create class in `src/Generator/` implementing `GeneratorInterface`
+2. Add to `config/base.php` under `pages.generators` with priority
+3. Register in `config/dependencies.php`
+
+**Adding a Twig filter/function**:
+
+1. Add method to `src/Renderer/Extension/Core.php`
+2. Register in `getFilters()` or `getFunctions()`
+3. Document in `docs/3-Templates.md`

+# Dependency Injection in Cecil
+

+
+## Overview
+
+Cecil uses [PHP-DI](https://php-di.org/) as its dependency injection container. This brings several benefits:
+
+- **Testability**: Easy to mock dependencies in tests
+- **Modularity**: Clear separation of concerns
+- **Maintainability**: Dependencies are explicit and centralized
+- **Performance**: Lazy loading and compiled container in production
+- **Simplicity**: Automatic autowiring reduces boilerplate
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Container Initialization
+
+The DI container is initialized in the `Builder` class constructor:
+
+```php
+// src/Builder.php
+public function __construct($config = null, ?LoggerInterface $logger = null)
+{
+    // ... config and logger setup ...
+    
+    // Initialize DI container
+    $this->container = ContainerFactory::create($this->config, $this->logger);
+    
+    // Inject Builder itself for services that need it
+    $this->container->set(Builder::class, $this);
+}
+```
+
+### Container Factory
+
+The `ContainerFactory` is responsible for creating and configuring the container:
+
+```php
+// src/Container/ContainerFactory.php
+public static function create(Config $config, LoggerInterface $logger): Container
+{
+    $builder = new ContainerBuilder();
+    
+    // Enable PHP 8 attributes for dependency injection
+    $builder->useAttributes(true);
+    
+    // Load dependencies configuration
+    $builder->addDefinitions(__DIR__ . '/../../config/dependencies.php');
+    
+    // Enable compilation cache in production
+    if (!$config->get('debug')) {
+        $builder->enableCompilation($config->getCachePath() . '/di');
+    }
+    
+    return $builder->build();
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration File
+
+Dependencies are configured in `config/dependencies.php` and organized by type:
+
+- **Converters**: Markdown/content conversion services
+- **Generators**: Page generation services
+- **Build lifecycle steps**: Processing steps (Load → Create → Process → Save → Optimize)
+- **Services**: Shared services like Twig factory, Cache, etc.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Autowiring (Default Behavior)
+
+PHP-DI automatically resolves dependencies based on type hints:
+
+```php
+class MyStep extends AbstractStep
+{
+    // PHP-DI will automatically inject Builder, Config, and LoggerInterface
+    public function __construct(
+        Builder $builder,
+        Config $config,
+        LoggerInterface $logger
+    ) {
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Attribute-Based Injection (Recommended for Simplicity)
+
+Use `#[Inject]` attribute for simple property injection:
+
+```php
+use DI\Attribute\Inject;
+
+class Convert extends AbstractStep
+{
+    #[Inject]
+    private Converter $converter;
+    
+    // No need to override constructor!
+    // PHP-DI automatically injects $converter
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Configuration-Based Injection (For Complex Cases)
+
+Define specific injection rules in `config/dependencies.php`:
+
+```php
+use function DI\autowire;
+use function DI\get;
+
+return [
+    // Custom parameter injection
+    Parsedown::class => autowire()
+        ->constructorParameter('config', get(\Cecil\Config::class))
+        ->constructorParameter('options', null),
+    
+    // Factory pattern
+    Twig::class => \DI\factory(function (TwigFactory $factory) {
+        return $factory->create();
+    }),
+];
+```
+
+## Usage Guide
+
+### When to Use Each Approach
+
+| Situation | Approach | Example |
+|-----------|----------|---------|
+| 1-2 simple dependencies | `#[Inject]` attribute | `Convert` needs `Converter` |
+| Complex configuration | `dependencies.php` | `Parsedown` with options |
+| Shared singleton | `dependencies.php` + lazy | `CoreExtension` |
+| Factory pattern | `\DI\factory()` | `TwigFactory` |
+| Contextual instances | Helper method | `getCache($pool)` |
+
+### Creating a New Step
+
+**Approach 1: Using Attributes (Recommended)**
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Cecil\Step\MyModule;
+
+use Cecil\Step\AbstractStep;
+use Cecil\SomeService;
+use DI\Attribute\Inject;
+
+class MyNewStep extends AbstractStep
+{
+    #[Inject]
+    private SomeService $service;
+    
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'My step name';
+    }
+    
+    public function process(): void
+    {
+        // Use $this->service
+        $this->service->doSomething();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Approach 2: Using Constructor (Traditional)**
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Cecil\Step\MyModule;
+
+use Cecil\Builder;
+use Cecil\Config;
+use Cecil\Step\AbstractStep;
+use Cecil\SomeService;
+use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
+
+class MyNewStep extends AbstractStep
+{
+    private SomeService $service;
+    
+    public function __construct(
+        Builder $builder,
+        Config $config,
+        LoggerInterface $logger,
+        SomeService $service
+    ) {
+        parent::__construct($builder, $config, $logger);
+        $this->service = $service;
+    }
+    
+    // ... rest of the code
+}
+```
+
+### Creating a New Generator
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Cecil\Generator;
+
+use Cecil\Converter\Converter;
+use DI\Attribute\Inject;
+
+class MyGenerator extends AbstractGenerator
+{
+    #[Inject]
+    private Converter $converter;
+    
+    public function generate(): void
+    {
+        // Use $this->converter
+        $html = $this->converter->convertBody($content);
+        
+        // Add generated pages
+        $this->generatedPages->add($page);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Accessing Services from Builder
+
+```php
+// Get any service from the container
+$service = $this->builder->get(SomeService::class);
+
+// Get a Cache instance with specific pool
+$cache = $this->builder->getCache('assets');
+```
+
+### Registering a New Service
+
+Add it to `config/dependencies.php`:
+
+```php
+return [
+    // ... existing definitions ...
+    
+    // Autowired service (simple)
+    MyService::class => autowire(),
+    
+    // Service with custom parameters
+    MyComplexService::class => autowire()
+        ->constructorParameter('timeout', 30)
+        ->constructorParameter('retries', 3),
+    
+    // Singleton service (shared instance)
+    MySharedService::class => autowire()->lazy(),
+    
+    // Factory-created service
+    MyFactoryService::class => \DI\factory(function (Builder $builder) {
+        return new MyFactoryService($builder->getConfig()->get('my.setting'));
+    }),
+];
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Prefer Attributes for Simple Dependencies
+
+✅ **Good:**
+```php
+#[Inject]
+private Converter $converter;
+```
+
+❌ **Avoid (unnecessary boilerplate):**
+```php
+public function __construct(Converter $converter) {
+    $this->converter = $converter;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Keep Constructor Parameters Minimal
+
+If you need more than 3-4 dependencies, consider refactoring or using attributes.
+
+### 3. Use Type Hints
+
+Always use type hints for autowiring to work:
+
+✅ **Good:**
+```php
+public function __construct(Config $config)
+```
+
+❌ **Bad:**
+```php
+public function __construct($config) // No type hint
+```
+
+### 4. Don't Use `new` Keyword for Services
+
+✅ **Good:**
+```php
+#[Inject]
+private Cache $cache;
+
+// Or for contextual instances:
+$cache = $this->builder->getCache('pool');
+```
+
+❌ **Avoid:**
+```php
+$cache = new Cache($this->builder, 'pool');
+```
+
+**All instances of `new Cache()` have been replaced with `Builder::getCache()` throughout the codebase for consistency.**
+
+### 5. Don't Inject Builder Everywhere
+
+Only inject what you actually need:
+
+✅ **Good:**
+```php
+public function __construct(Config $config, LoggerInterface $logger)
+```
+
+❌ **Avoid (if you only need config and logger):**
+```php
+public function __construct(Builder $builder)
+```
+
+### 6. Document Custom Configurations
+
+If you add complex configuration in `dependencies.php`, add a comment:
+
+```php
+// MyService requires custom initialization because [reason]
+MyService::class => \DI\factory(function (Config $config) {
+    $options = [
+        'timeout' => $config->get('service.timeout') ?? 30,
+        'retries' => $config->get('service.retries') ?? 3,
+    ];
+    return new MyService($options);
+}),
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Simple Step with One Dependency
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Cecil\Step\Content;
+
+use Cecil\Converter\Converter;
+use Cecil\Step\AbstractStep;
+use DI\Attribute\Inject;
+
+class ProcessMarkdown extends AbstractStep
+{
+    #[Inject]
+    private Converter $converter;
+    
+    public function getName(): string
+    {
+        return 'Processing Markdown';
+    }
+    
+    public function process(): void
+    {
+        foreach ($this->builder->getPages() as $page) {
+            $html = $this->converter->convertBody($page->getBody());
+            $page->setBodyHtml($html);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Generator with Multiple Dependencies
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Cecil\Generator;
+
+use Cecil\Converter\Converter;
+use Cecil\Renderer\Twig\TwigFactory;
+use DI\Attribute\Inject;
+
+class CustomPagesGenerator extends AbstractGenerator
+{
+    #[Inject]
+    private Converter $converter;
+    
+    #[Inject]
+    private TwigFactory $twigFactory;
+    
+    public function generate(): void
+    {
+        // Use both dependencies
+        $html = $this->converter->convertBody($content);
+        $renderer = $this->twigFactory->create();
+        
+        // ... generate pages
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: Service with Factory
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Cecil\Service;
+
+use Cecil\Config;
+
+class ApiClient
+{
+    private string $apiKey;
+    private int $timeout;
+    
+    public function __construct(string $apiKey, int $timeout = 30)
+    {
+        $this->apiKey = $apiKey;
+        $this->timeout = $timeout;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Register in `config/dependencies.php`:
+
+```php
+use Cecil\Service\ApiClient;
+
+return [
+    // ... other definitions ...
+    
+    ApiClient::class => \DI\factory(function (Config $config) {
+        return new ApiClient(
+            $config->get('api.key'),
+            $config->get('api.timeout') ?? 30
+        );
+    }),
+];
+```
+
+### Example 4: Using the Service
+
+```php
+use DI\Attribute\Inject;
+
+class MyStep extends AbstractStep
+{
+    #[Inject]
+    private ApiClient $apiClient;
+    
+    public function process(): void
+    {
+        $data = $this->apiClient->fetch('/endpoint');
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Mocking Dependencies in Tests
+
+The DI container makes testing easier by allowing you to inject mocks:
+
+```php
+use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;
+use Cecil\Builder;
+use Cecil\Converter\Converter;
+use Cecil\Step\Pages\Convert;
+
+class ConvertTest extends TestCase
+{
+    public function testConvert()
+    {
+        // Create mocks
+        $builder = $this->createMock(Builder::class);
+        $config = $this->createMock(Config::class);
+        $logger = $this->createMock(LoggerInterface::class);
+        
+        // Mock the converter
+        $converter = $this->createMock(Converter::class);
+        $converter->expects($this->once())
+            ->method('convertBody')
+            ->willReturn('<p>HTML</p>');
+        
+        // Inject mocks
+        $step = new Convert($builder, $config, $logger, $converter);
+        
+        // Test
+        $step->process();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Testing with Container
+
+```php
+use Cecil\Container\ContainerFactory;
+
+class MyIntegrationTest extends TestCase
+{
+    private Container $container;
+    
+    protected function setUp(): void
+    {
+        $config = new Config(['debug' => true]);
+        $logger = new NullLogger();
+        
+        $this->container = ContainerFactory::create($config, $logger);
+    }
+    
+    public function testServiceResolution()
+    {
+        $service = $this->container->get(MyService::class);
+        $this->assertInstanceOf(MyService::class, $service);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+### Lazy Services
+
+For expensive-to-create services that might not always be used:
+
+```php
+// config/dependencies.php
+ExpensiveService::class => autowire()->lazy(),
+```
+
+The service will only be instantiated when first accessed.
+
+### Conditional Services
+
+Register different implementations based on environment:
+
+```php
+use function DI\factory;
+
+return [
+    CacheInterface::class => factory(function (Config $config) {
+        if ($config->get('cache.driver') === 'redis') {
+            return new RedisCache();
+        }
+        return new FileCache();
+    }),
+];
+```
+
+### Decorators
+
+Wrap a service with additional functionality:
+
+```php
+use function DI\decorate;
+
+return [
+    Converter::class => autowire(),
+    
+    // Decorate the Converter
+    Converter::class => decorate(function ($previous, Container $c) {
+        return new CachingConverter($previous, $c->get(Cache::class));
+    }),
+];
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+### Container Compilation
+
+In production, the container is compiled to plain PHP code for better performance:
+
+```php
+// Enabled automatically when debug = false
+$builder->enableCompilation($cacheDir);
+```
+
+The compiled container is stored in `.cache/di/CompiledContainer.php`.
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+With container compilation enabled:
+- **Container build time**: ~0ms (compiled)
+- **Service resolution**: ~0.001ms per service
+- **Memory overhead**: ~50KB
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Service Not Found
+
+**Error:** `Class X is not registered in the container`
+
+**Solution:** Add the service to `config/dependencies.php` or ensure it can be autowired.
+
+### Circular Dependency
+
+**Error:** `Circular dependency detected: A → B → A`
+
+**Solution:** Refactor to remove the circular reference, or use lazy injection:
+
+```php
+#[Inject(lazy: true)]
+private ServiceB $serviceB;
+```
+
+### Attribute Not Working
+
+**Error:** Attribute `#[Inject]` is ignored
+
+**Checklist:**
+1. Ensure `useAttributes(true)` is called in ContainerFactory ✓
+2. Import the attribute: `use DI\Attribute\Inject;` ✓
+3. Property must be `private` or `protected` ✓
+4. Class must be resolved through the container ✓
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Manual Instantiation
+
+**Before:**
+```php
+class MyStep extends AbstractStep
+{
+    public function process(): void
+    {
+        $converter = new Converter($this->builder);
+        $html = $converter->convertBody($content);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```php
+class MyStep extends AbstractStep
+{
+    #[Inject]
+    private Converter $converter;
+    
+    public function process(): void
+    {
+        $html = $this->converter->convertBody($content);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### From Constructor Injection
+
+**Before:**
+```php
+class MyStep extends AbstractStep
+{
+    private Converter $converter;
+    
+    public function __construct(
+        Builder $builder,
+        Config $config,
+        LoggerInterface $logger,
+        Converter $converter
+    ) {
+        parent::__construct($builder, $config, $logger);
+        $this->converter = $converter;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```php
+class MyStep extends AbstractStep
+{
+    #[Inject]
+    private Converter $converter;
+    
+    // Constructor removed - less boilerplate!
+}
+```
