## 📚 Library API Development Plan
Transform mismall from a CLI tool into a reusable Rust library crate that other projects can import and use for compression, encryption, and archive operations.
### 🎯 Goals
- Expose clean, high-level API for compression/decompression
- Preserve streaming architecture and memory efficiency
- Maintain all existing CLI functionality
- Create modular, extensible library design
- Add comprehensive documentation and examples

└── (existing modules remain unchanged)
```
### 📦 Cargo.toml Changes
```toml
[features]
default = ["compression", "archives", "encryption"]
compression = []
archives = ["compression"]
encryption = []
cli = ["compression", "archives", "encryption", "clap", "indicatif", "console"]
[[bin]]
name = "mismall"
required-features = ["cli"]
```
### 🎨 API Design Examples
#### Simple Usage
```rust
use mismall::{compress_file, decompress_file};
let compressed = compress_file("document.txt", None)?;
let decompressed = decompress_file("document.txt.small", None)?;
```
#### Advanced Usage
```rust
use mismall::compress::CompressionBuilder;
let result = CompressionBuilder::new("large_video.mp4")
.with_password("secret123")
.with_chunk_size(64 * 1024 * 1024)
.with_progress_callback(|progress| {
println!("Progress: {}%", progress.percentage);
})
.compress()?;
```
#### Archive Operations
```rust
use mismall::archive::{ArchiveBuilder, ArchiveExtractor};
ArchiveBuilder::new()
.add_file("doc1.pdf", &pdf_data)
.with_password("archive_secret")
.build("backup.small")?;
ArchiveExtractor::new("backup.small")
.extract_file("doc1.pdf", "restored_doc.pdf")?;
```

### Phase 10: Compilation Issues Fix - CRITICAL BEFORE PUBLISHING
## 🚨 **Issue Identified**
`cargo test --all-features` fails while `cargo test` works due to feature gate conflicts between library and binary compilation.
## 🔧 **Root Cause Analysis**
- **Duplicate Error Systems**: `src/error.rs` (new library) vs `src/errors.rs` (old CLI)
- **Import Conflicts**: `crate::error` vs `clap::error` when CLI feature enabled
- **Module Visibility**: `archive_legacy` not accessible to `main.rs` when both build together
- **Feature Gate Cascade**: Library builds fine, binary fails with all features enabled
## 📋 **Fix Tasks**
### High Priority ✅ COMPLETED
- [x] Consolidate error systems - standardize on new src/error.rs and remove old src/errors.rs
- [x] Update main.rs to use correct error module imports
- [x] Fix cli.rs archive_legacy import and error import conflicts
- [x] Update all archive modules (builder, extractor, simple) to use consistent error imports
### Medium Priority ✅ COMPLETED
- [x] Fix cross-module references like crate::compress::validate_chunk_size
- [x] Review and fix all #[cfg(...)] feature gates for proper visibility
- [x] Test all feature combinations to ensure no regressions
## 🎉 **Compilation Issues Resolution - SUCCESS!**
### ✅ **Problems Fixed**
1. **Error System Consolidation**: Removed duplicate `src/errors.rs`, standardized on comprehensive `src/error.rs`
2. **Module Import Conflicts**: Fixed CLI module imports and error naming conflicts
3. **Cross-Module References**: Fixed archive modules to properly access compression utilities
4. **Feature Gate Configuration**: Properly configured conditional compilation for different feature sets
5. **Binary/Library Integration**: Ensured both library and binary compile together correctly
### ✅ **Validation Results**
- **Regular Tests**: 122/122 passed ✓
- **All Features Tests**: 122/122 library + 104/104 binary = 226/226 passed ✓
- **Feature Combinations**: All combinations work correctly ✓
- **Zero Compilation Errors**: Only harmless warnings remain ✓
### 🔧 **Technical Changes Made**
- **main.rs**: Added proper module declarations for binary compilation
- **lib.rs**: Made archive_legacy public for CLI access, exported validate_chunk_size
- **Archive modules**: Fixed all error import paths and cross-references
- **Error system**: Unified to use comprehensive new error structure
**Result**: `cargo test --all-features` now works perfectly with 0 compilation errors!
## 🎯 **Validation Strategy**
1. Test `cargo test` (library-only) still works
2. Test `cargo test --all-features` (library + binary) works
3. Test individual feature combinations work correctly
4. Verify no regressions in existing functionality
### Phase 11: Publishing & Release - COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AVAILABLE
## 🎯 **Objective**
Separate AI transformation work from hand-crafted CLI work, then publish the AI-enhanced library version 2.0.0 while preserving the original work as the primary GitHub view.
## 🔧 **Phase 10.1: Git Branch Management**
