**Development & Examples**:
- [ ] Feature flags match Cargo.toml (colour, raw, progress, interactive)
- [ ] Edition 2024 in Cargo.toml
- [ ] Count examples/*.rs files (should match README claim)

#### Coming Next Section
Only list features that are:
- [ ] NOT yet implemented
- [ ] Planned for next version
- [ ] Have GitHub issues/discussions

### 6. **Version Numbers** (Multiple locations)
Search and replace when bumping versions:
- [ ] Line 12: Badge version
- [ ] Line 55: Installation `zfish = "0.1"`
- [ ] Line 62: Download URL version
- [ ] Line 268: "Current Version: `0.1.10`"
- [ ] Line 422: Footer box version

### 7. **License Section** (Lines 361-366)
- [ ] States "MIT License" only
- [ ] Links to LICENSE file
- [ ] Footer copyright box says "MIT License"

### 8. **Contributing Section** (Lines 295-330)
Keep example commands accurate:
- [ ] `cargo test` works
- [ ] `cargo test -- --test-threads=1` explanation is accurate
- [ ] `cargo doc --open` generates docs
- [ ] All `cargo run --example` commands work
- [ ] Example file list matches examples/ directory

## Automated Checks

Run these commands to verify README accuracy:

```bash
# Count actual examples
ls examples/*.rs | wc -l

# Check version in Cargo.toml
grep "^version" Cargo.toml

# Verify all example files listed in README exist
# (manually check against README list)

# Test that all Quick Start examples compile
# (copy each example to a test file and run)

# Verify all links are accessible
# (use a link checker or manually test)
```

## GitHub Actions Integration

Consider adding a CI check that:
1. Extracts version from Cargo.toml
2. Verifies it appears in README.md
3. Counts examples/ files and compares to README claim
4. Validates all internal file links exist
5. Checks external links are accessible (docs.rs, vercel, notion)

## When Publishing to crates.io

The README.md is automatically included in the crate package. Ensure it's current before:
```bash
cargo publish --dry-run  # Preview what will be published
cargo publish           # Actually publish
```

## Quick Verification Script

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# verify-readme.sh

echo "🔍 Checking README accuracy..."

# Version consistency
CARGO_VERSION=$(grep "^version" Cargo.toml | cut -d'"' -f2)
README_VERSIONS=$(grep -c "$CARGO_VERSION" README.md)
echo "✓ Cargo.toml version: $CARGO_VERSION"
echo "✓ Appears in README: $README_VERSIONS times"

# Example count
EXAMPLE_COUNT=$(ls examples/*.rs 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
echo "✓ Example files: $EXAMPLE_COUNT"

# Link checks
echo "🔗 Checking critical links..."
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://zfish-devdocs.vercel.app
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://docs.rs/zfish
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://sprinkle-toque-13b.notion.site/ZFish-29d4eaaebc9d80bd82f3c27833a92232

echo "✅ README verification complete!"
```

**Remember**: The README is often the first thing users see. Keep it accurate, current, and honest about what's implemented vs. planned!
