Summary

This PR fixes the release publishing issue caused by missing version specifications in internal crate dependencies and updates the configuration system to use the new typed FromEnv trait.

Changes Made

Release Publishing Fixes

  • Fixed dependency versioning: Added missing version = "1.7.0" to nestforge-config dependency in nestforge-core/Cargo.toml
  • Updated internal dependencies: Bumped all internal crate dependency versions from 1.6.0 to 1.7.0 across the workspace
  • Committed Cargo.lock: Updated and committed the lock file after version changes

Configuration API Updates

  • Updated hello-nestforge example: Refactored app_config.rs to use the new FromEnv trait and EnvStore for typed configuration loading
  • Removed unused imports: Cleaned up ConfigService imports that were no longer needed
  • Simplified module exports: Removed unused providers from the app module

Transpiler Configuration

  • Added .nestforge.toml: Created configuration file documenting the CLI transpiler's regex patterns and path transformation rules for the implemented TypeScript-style import support

Technical Details

  • The release script now properly handles dependency ordering for publishing crates to crates.io
  • Configuration loading is now more type-safe using the FromEnv trait instead of manual getters
  • The transpiler configuration provides documentation for the existing hardcoded patterns used by nestforge dev and nestforge start

Testing

  • Verified that the updated example compiles and uses the new config API
  • Confirmed that internal dependencies are properly versioned for publishing
  • Ensured no breaking changes to existing functionality

Closes #24

Summary by CodeRabbit

Release Notes

  • New Features

  • Documentation

    • Updated guides documenting TypeScript-style imports, CLI usage, and running applications.
  • Chores

    • Changed license from Apache 2.0 to MIT.
    • Updated validator dependency.
    • Refactored configuration system and module exports.

## Bug Fixes

## Critical
1. CLI scaffolded app won't compile - Added nestforge-config dependency to scaffolded Cargo.toml, fixed template imports to use nestforge instead of nestforge_config, updated module templates to use load_config() factory pattern
2. Config<T> wrapper unusable - Now wraps Arc<ConfigService> with full getter forwarding and Deref impl
3. Process env precedence reversed - Changed to or_insert_with so runtime env takes precedence over .env file

## Major
4. Config loading panics - Added try_for_root_with_options() returning Result<ConfigService, ConfigError>
5. Dotenv errors silently dropped - Malformed .env lines now propagate errors
6. Broken #[derive(Config)] macro - Removed broken macro that generated invalid code

## Updates
- Updated all 5 examples to use new consistent config API
- Added load_config() function to examples for DI registration
- Removed unused FromEnv implementations from examples

All workspace tests pass.
This module provides the common NestForge types and macros that users
can import using TypeScript-style syntax. When combined with the
transpiler, users can write:

  import { Module, Controller, Get } from "nestforge/common";

Which gets transpiled to Rust's:

  use nestforge::common::{Module, Controller, Get};

The common module re-exports:
- Core framework types (ModuleDefinition, Container, Controller, Guard, etc.)
- Decorator macros (#[module], #[controller], #[injectable], #[get], etc.)
- Configuration types when the config feature is enabled

This enables 1:1 parity with the NestJS developer experience.
This adds a source-to-source transpiler that converts TypeScript-style
imports to valid Rust use statements, enabling 1:1 parity with NestJS.

Transpiler Features

Named imports: import { Module, Controller } from "nestforge/common"
Default imports: import MyService from "./my.service"
NestForge imports: import { Get, Post } from "nestforge/common"
Relative imports: import { UsersService } from "./users/users.service"
Parent imports: import { Config } from "../config"

Path Transformations
- "nestforge/common" -> nestforge::common
- "./file.service" -> self::file_service
- "../folder/file" -> super::folder::file

Case Conversion
- Automatically converts kebab-case/camelCase to snake_case
- users.service -> users_service
- auth-controller -> auth_controller

Shadow Build Process
- Scans src/ directory for files containing "import" keyword
- Transpiles code and writes to .nestforge/cache directory
- Auto-generates mod.rs files with pub mod declarations

CLI Commands Added

nestforge start - Transpiles imports then runs the application with cargo run.
nestforge dev (alias: nestforge run) - Transpiles imports then runs in development mode with watch.

Technical Details
- Uses regex for import pattern matching
- Processes entire directory tree recursively
- Preserves original source files unchanged
- Zero runtime overhead (final output is standard Rust)

Breaking Change
Standard cargo commands will fail on files using import syntax.
Users must use "nestforge start" or "nestforge dev" to trigger
the transpilation layer.
Adds regex crate dependency for the transpiler module.
- Added documentation for nestforge start and nestforge dev commands
- Added TypeScript-style imports guide with supported patterns
- Documented path transformations and case conversion
- Added transpiler unit tests
- Added tempfile dev dependency for tests

Commands documented:
- nestforge start: runs app with import transpilation
- nestforge dev: runs app in development mode with transpilation
- README.md: Added TypeScript-style imports section with example
- quick-start.md: Updated run commands to use nestforge start/dev
- core-concepts.md: Added TypeScript-Style Imports section
- example-app.md: Added transpiler info and running instructions
…FromEnv

- Add FromEnv implementation for AppConfig
- Refactor load_app_config to use ConfigService and EnvStore
- Update load_config to use ConfigService
- Remove ConfigService from AppModule exports
- Add .nestforge.toml configuration file

This change modernizes the example's configuration handling to leverage the new common module features, improving consistency with the library's API.
- Adjust indentation in code examples
- Add blank line in transpilation instructions
- Remove Contributing and License sections

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR implements a TypeScript-style import transpiler for NestForge, allowing developers to write import { ... } from "..." syntax which is converted to Rust use statements before compilation. The implementation includes a new transpiler module, CLI commands (start, dev), configuration system enhancements, and comprehensive documentation updates.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Transpiler Core
crates/nestforge-cli/src/transpiler.rs, crates/nestforge-cli/src/cli.rs, crates/nestforge-cli/Cargo.toml
Added regex-based Transpiler that scans source directories, parses TypeScript-style imports, transforms module paths (e.g., nestforge/commonnestforge::common, ./file.serviceself::file_service), generates mod.rs declarations, and outputs transpiled .rs files to cache directory. New CLI subcommands Start and Dev (aliased as run) accept optional app directory and forwarded arguments.
Configuration System Enhancements
crates/nestforge-config/src/lib.rs, crates/nestforge-core/src/config.rs
Extended ConfigError with ParseEnvFile and ParseError variants. ConfigService::load_with_options now iterates over dotenvy results with per-key error handling. Added ConfigModule::try_for_root_with_options for fallible initialization. Reworked Config<T> to hold shared Arc<ConfigService>, requiring service argument in constructor. Introduced convenience getter methods (get, get_string, get_i32, etc.) and Deref implementation for ergonomic access.
Public API Consolidation
crates/nestforge/src/common.rs, crates/nestforge/src/lib.rs
New common module re-exports key public types and macros (e.g., configuration, DI, decorators, routing) plus a prelude submodule for convenient use ...::common::prelude::* imports.
Documentation Updates
docs/cli-guide.md, docs/core-concepts.md, docs/example-app.md, docs/quick-start.md, README.md
Added comprehensive documentation for TypeScript-style imports: supported patterns, path transformation rules, filename-to-snake_case conversion. Updated CLI guide with new start/dev commands and "Running Your App" section. Updated quick-start and example-app guides to reflect transpilation workflow.
Example Application Updates
examples/hello-nestforge/src/app_config.rs, examples/hello-nestforge/src/app_module.rs, examples/hello-nestforge-graphql/src/app_config.rs, examples/hello-nestforge-grpc/src/app_config.rs, examples/hello-nestforge-microservices/src/app_config.rs, examples/hello-nestforge-websockets/src/app_config.rs
Removed FromEnv trait implementations from AppConfig across all examples. Updated load_app_config to use fallible ConfigModule::try_for_root_with_options(options)?. Added new public load_config() functions exposing ConfigService directly. Adjusted imports to reflect config system changes.
Infrastructure & Housekeeping
.gitignore, .nestforge.toml, Cargo.toml, LICENSE
Added github-prs/ to gitignore. Added .nestforge.toml configuration file documenting transpiler settings with empty [transpiler.regex] section for future customization. Updated validator dependency from 0.16 to 0.19. Replaced Apache License 2.0 with MIT License.

Poem

🐰 Hops excitedly

TypeScript whispers now in Rust we hear,
Import syntax, no more tears!
Transpiler hops through files with care,
Transforms imports everywhere,
Snake_case paths through mod trees grow,
Now let the NestForge magic flow!

Action required

1. start/dev ignores cache build 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness
Description
nestforge start/dev transpiles into .nestforge/cache but then runs cargo run against the
original project sources, so files containing import are still compiled unmodified. This breaks
the required shadow build flow and will still produce Rust parse errors for TypeScript-style
imports.
Code

crates/nestforge-cli/src/main.rs[R495-514]

+    let source_dir = app_root.join("src");
+    let cache_dir = app_root.join(".nestforge").join("cache");
+
+    println!("Transpiling TypeScript-style imports...");
+    transpile_project(&source_dir, &cache_dir)?;
+    println!("Transpilation complete. Running application...");
+
+    let mut cmd = Command::new("cargo");
+    cmd.arg("run");
+    if !args.args.is_empty() {
+        cmd.arg("--").args(&args.args);
+    }
+    
+    let status = cmd.current_dir(&app_root).status()
+        .with_context(|| format!("Failed to run application in {}", app_root.display()))?;
+
+    if !status.success() {
+        bail!("Application failed to start");
+    }
+
Evidence
PR Compliance ID 3 requires building from the transpiled entry point in .nestforge/cache. The new
run_start_command writes transpiled sources to .nestforge/cache but executes cargo run in
app_root without pointing Cargo at the cache output.

Shadow build process writes transpiled sources to .nestforge/cache and builds using the transpiled entry point
crates/nestforge-cli/src/main.rs[495-514]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`nestforge start/dev` transpiles sources into `.nestforge/cache` but still runs `cargo run` against the original project, so the transpiled output is not actually compiled.

## Issue Context
Compliance requires a shadow build that compiles the transpiled entry point from `.nestforge/cache`, not the original `src/` tree.

## Fix Focus Areas
- crates/nestforge-cli/src/main.rs[495-548]
- crates/nestforge-cli/src/transpiler.rs[250-254]

2. Named import rewrite invalid 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness
Description
The transpiler generates invalid Rust use paths for named imports by converting :: into /, and
it attempts to remove import { ... } from ...; lines with a pattern that doesn't match non-empty
imports. This violates the requirement that transpiled output contain valid Rust use statements
and no remaining import keywords.

Evidence
PR Compliance ID 1 requires rewriting import { ... } from "..." into valid Rust use statements
with the import keyword removed. The new code sets `module_path = transformed_source.replace("::",
"/") (producing paths like nestforge/common) and uses import_pattern that targets import {}`
rather than import {<symbols>} so the original import lines may remain.

3. transform_path() breaks mappings 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness
Description
The path mapping logic does not correctly implement the documented transformations for @* and
multi-level parent imports (e.g., ../../...). This can produce invalid Rust paths and unresolved
modules in transpiled output.
Code

+            source.replace('-', "_").replace('/', "::")
+        }
+    }
Evidence
PR Compliance ID 2 requires deterministic mapping such as "../folder/file" -> super::folder::file
and "@*" -> nestforge::*. The new implementation uses source.replace('@', "nestforge::") (does
not convert / to :: for @ sources) and only strips a single ../ via
trim_start_matches("../"), which can break paths like ../../shared/utils.

4. Cache modules not snake_case 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness
Description
The transpiler writes cache filenames and pub mod declarations using the raw file stem (not
snake_case), which will generate invalid module identifiers for dot-notated or kebab-case filenames
(e.g., users.service.rs). This violates the required filename-to-snake_case conversion for Rust
module paths.
Code

+        }
Evidence
PR Compliance ID 5 requires kebab-case and dot-notated filenames to be converted to snake_case for
Rust module identifiers. The new code uses stem directly for both output filenames and
module_items.push(stem.to_string()), which later becomes pub mod {stem}; in generated mod.rs.

5. common missing PascalCase aliases 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness
Description
nestforge::common re-exports macros as lowercase names (e.g., controller, get) but does not
provide PascalCase aliases like Controller/Get that the transpiler documentation expects. This

6. Generates pub mod mod 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness
Description
The transpiler processes mod.rs as a normal source file, then also generates a new mod.rs that
includes pub mod mod;, which can create self-referential/invalid module declarations and break
compilation in directories that contain mod.rs.
Code

crates/nestforge-cli/src/transpiler.rs[R75-95]

+                if let Some(ext) = path.extension() {
+                    if ext == "rs" {

+            fs::write(&mod_path, mod_content)?;
+        }
Evidence
process_directory writes every *.rs file into the cache and pushes its stem into module_items.
For a mod.rs, the stem is "mod", so the generated mod.rs will include pub mod mod;. The
function then overwrites cache_dir/mod.rs with this generated file, making behavior incorrect for
common Rust layouts that use mod.rs.

7. Scaffolded apps won't compile 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness
Description
The CLI app template no longer generates an AppConfig type/struct, but other generated template
files still import/resolve AppConfig, so newly scaffolded GraphQL/gRPC/microservices apps will
fail to compile.
Code

crates/nestforge-cli/src/main.rs[R2796-2802]

fn template_app_config_rs(_transport: AppTransport) -> String {
-    r#"use nestforge_config::{ConfigService, ConfigModule};
-
-pub type AppConfig = ConfigService;
-
-pub fn load_config() -> AppConfig {
-    ConfigModule::for_root_with_options(ConfigModule::for_root().env_file(".env"))

+
+pub fn load_config() -> ConfigService {
+    ConfigModule::for_root_with_options(ConfigOptions::new().env_file(".env"))
}
"#
Evidence
template_app_config_rs now only defines load_config() -> ConfigService and does not define
AppConfig. However, generated code for GraphQL uses AppConfig in main.rs
(resolve::<AppConfig>()), and gRPC/microservices templates import/resolve AppConfig as well.

+                values.entry(key).or_insert(value);
+            }
Evidence
Values are initialized from env::vars() when include_process_env is true, and .env entries are
inserted with or_insert, meaning any existing key from the process environment will not be
overwritten by .env. This is a semantic change from a simple insert overwrite strategy.

P1 Badge Compile transpiled sources instead of original src tree

run_start_command writes transpiled files to .nestforge/cache but then invokes cargo run in app_root, which still compiles src/main.rs and the original src/ modules. Any project that uses the documented TypeScript-style import ... from ... syntax will still fail to build because the transpiled output is never consumed; dev has the same issue.

P2 Badge Remove named import statements with the captured symbols

The generated regex here becomes import\s*\{}..., which only matches an empty {} clause, so real statements like import { Controller } from "nestforge/common"; are left in the output. That leaves invalid TypeScript syntax in transpiled Rust files and breaks compilation once the cache is used.

P1 Badge Restore AppConfig in generated app_config template

This template now only emits load_config() and no AppConfig type, but other generated templates still import/re-export AppConfig (for example app_module and lib.rs). As a result, freshly scaffolded apps will have unresolved AppConfig symbols and fail to compile immediately.

282-289: Test coverage missing for multi-level parent imports.

This test only verifies single ../ traversal. Given the bug in transform_path for multi-level paths like ../../config, add a test case to ensure proper handling:

🧪 Suggested additional test
#[test]
fn test_transform_path_multi_parent_import() {
    let temp_dir = TempDir::new().unwrap();
    let transpiler = Transpiler::new(temp_dir.path(), temp_dir.path()).unwrap();

    let result = transpiler.transform_path("../../shared/utils", "");
    assert_eq!(result, "super::super::shared::utils");
    
    let result = transpiler.transform_path("../../../core", "");
    assert_eq!(result, "super::super::super::core");

127-134: Regex compiled inside loop on every capture - performance concern.

Regex::new() is called for each matched import inside the loop. For files with many imports, this is inefficient. Consider collecting all matches first, then performing a single replacement pass, or pre-computing replacement patterns.

♻️ Suggested approach: collect patterns first, then replace
+        // Collect all patterns to remove first
+        let mut patterns_to_remove: Vec<String> = Vec::new();

         for cap in self.import_regex.captures_iter(&content) {
             let symbols = cap.get(1).map(|m| m.as_str()).unwrap_or("");
             let source = cap.get(2).map(|m| m.as_str()).unwrap_or("");
             // ... process symbols ...
-            let import_pattern = format!(
-                r#"import\s*\{{}}\s*from\s*["']{}["']\s*;"#,
-                regex::escape(source)
-            );
-            result = Regex::new(&import_pattern)?
-                .replace_all(&result, "")
-                .to_string();
+            patterns_to_remove.push(cap.get(0).map(|m| m.as_str()).unwrap_or("").to_string());
         }

+        for pattern in &patterns_to_remove {
+            result = result.replace(pattern, "");

This avoids regex compilation in the loop by using the already-matched full capture directly.

1-20: Configuration file is documentation-only; transpiler doesn't read it.

This .nestforge.toml documents the transpiler's regex patterns and mapping rules, but the Transpiler in crates/nestforge-cli/src/transpiler.rs has these patterns hardcoded and doesn't actually load this configuration file. Consider either:

  1. Implementing config loading from this file in the transpiler, or
  2. Moving this documentation to a dedicated docs file or comments in the transpiler code to avoid user confusion about expected customization capability.

Additionally, the file is missing a trailing newline.

What are the breaking changes between validator crate version 0.16 and 0.19 in Rust?

💡 Result:

The validator crate underwent several breaking changes between versions 0.16 and 0.19: - 0.17.0: The derive macro was entirely rewritten. Validation is now performed through traits that users can implement themselves. This fundamentally changes how the derive macro generates validation code. - 0.18.0: Removed the require_nested validator. Nested validation now uses required and nested validators instead. The nested validator is now always required on fields for nested validation to occur. Some features from 0.16 (e.g., custom functions) were restored after regressions in 0.17. New syntax required for custom function validation. Changed behavior for Option fields: validation now executes on the contained type if Some. - 0.19.0: Switched to proc-macro-error-2 from proc-macro-error for Syn, which may affect derive macro error reporting. Bumped MSRV to Rust 1.81 due to error naming changes. Added more ValidateRegex impls (likely non-breaking). These changes primarily affect users of the derive macro for struct validation, requiring updates to attributes like #[validate(nested)] instead of plain #[validate] for nested structs, adjustments to custom validators, and potential Rust version upgrades. Check the official CHANGELOG for migration details: https://github.com/Keats/validator/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

validator crate 0.19 validate attribute syntax - what validators are still supported and what is the current API in 0.19?

💡 Result:

In validator crate version 0.19.0, the validate attribute syntax uses the #[validate(validator_name(args))] format on fields of structs derived with #[derive(Validate)]. All validators from prior versions (like 0.18) remain supported, with no removals noted in the 0.19 changelog (just proc-macro updates and MSRV bump). Supported validators include: - email: #[validate(email)] - HTML5 email regex. - url: #[validate(url)] - Valid URL. - length(min=.., max=.., equal=..): #[validate(length(min = 5))] - For String/Vec lengths. - range(min=.., max=.., exclusive_min=.., exclusive_max=..): #[validate(range(min = 1))] - Numeric ranges. - contains(pattern = ".."): #[validate(contains(pattern = "foo"))] - String contains substring. - does_not_contain(pattern = ".."): #[validate(does_not_contain(pattern = "foo"))] - regex(path = "regex::Regex"): #[validate(regex(path = "RE"))] - custom(function = "path::to::fn"): #[validate(custom(function = "validate_fn"))] - credit_card: #[validate(credit_card)] - Requires "card" feature. - non_control_character: #[validate(non_control_character)] - Requires "unic" feature. - required: #[validate(required)] - For Option, ensures Some. - nested: #[validate(nested)] - For nested Validate structs/Vecs. - must_match: Field-level cross-validation via validate_must_match function. Struct-level: #[validate(custom(function = "schema_fn"))] or schema. The API uses the Validate trait: impl Validate for YourStruct, call .validate -> Result<, ValidationErrors>. Enable "derive" feature for macros. MSRV is Rust 1.70+.

validator crate 0.19 changelog breaking changes min_length max_length min max attribute syntax

💡 Result:

In the Rust validator crate version 0.19.0, there are no breaking changes specifically related to min_length, max_length, min, or max attribute syntax in the changelog. The release (2024-11-03) primarily involves swapping to proc-macro-error-2, bumping MSRV to 1.81, and adding ValidateRegex impls. The attribute syntax uses two main validators: - length (for strings/Vecs): #[validate(length(min = N, max = M))] or combinations like min only, max only, or equal = N. At least one of min/max/equal required; min+max allowed; equal excludes min/max. - range (for numbers): #[validate(range(min = N, max = M))] or exclusive_min/exclusive_max. 1-2 arguments. No separate min_length/max_length attributes exist; use length(min=..., max=...). Examples from docs: #[validate(length(min = 1, max = 10))] #[validate(length(min = 1))] #[validate(range(min = 18, max = 20))] #[validate(range(exclusive_min = 0.0, max = 100.0))] This syntax is consistent pre/post 0.17 derive rewrite (major changes in 0.17/0.18). No evidence of breaking syntax changes in 0.19.

Citations:


Update validator attribute syntax for 0.19 compatibility.

The validator crate 0.19 requires updated attribute syntax. The min_length and max_length validators no longer exist separately and must be migrated to length(min=..., max=...). Similarly, numeric range validation must use the range(...) syntax instead of bare min and max attributes.

Required changes:

  • #[validate(min_length = N, max_length = M)]#[validate(length(min = N, max = M))]
  • #[validate(min = N, max = M)] (on numeric fields) → #[validate(range(min = N, max = M))]

This affects at least:

  • crates/nestforge/tests/platform_validation_and_query.rs
  • crates/nestforge/tests/openapi_module_docs.rs

Additionally, validator 0.19 requires Rust 1.81 or later (MSRV bump). Verify this is compatible with your project's Rust version requirements.

Cache directory deletion lacks safeguards against misconfiguration.

The code unconditionally deletes cache_dir if it exists. If a user accidentally configures cache_dir to point to an important directory (e.g., passing "." or /), this could cause data loss.

line field is always hardcoded to 0, making the error message misleading.

The ParseEnvFile error variant includes a line field, and the error message promises to show "at line {line}". However, at line 116, line: 0 is hardcoded because dotenvy::from_path_iter doesn't easily expose line numbers.

This produces misleading error messages like "Failed to parse env file '.env' at line 0: ...". Consider either:

  1. Removing the line field if line numbers aren't available
  2. Tracking line numbers manually during iteration
Option 1: Remove the line field
-    #[error("Failed to parse env file `{path}` at line {line}: {source}")]
+    #[error("Failed to parse env file `{path}`: {source}")]
     ParseEnvFile {
         path: String,
-        line: usize,
         #[source]
         source: dotenvy::Error,
     },

And update the usage:

-                let (key, value) = result.map_err(|source| ConfigError::ParseEnvFile {
-                    path: path_ref.display().to_string(),
-                    line: 0,
-                    source,
-                })?;
+                let (key, value) = result.map_err(|source| ConfigError::ParseEnvFile {
+                    path: path_ref.display().to_string(),
+                    source,
+                })?;
Option 2: Track line numbers manually
-            for result in iter {
+            for (line_num, result) in iter.enumerate() {
                 let (key, value) = result.map_err(|source| ConfigError::ParseEnvFile {
                     path: path_ref.display().to_string(),

Restore the previous APP_NAME value instead of always removing it.

This test mutates a process-wide env var, so it can race with other tests and it also destroys any pre-existing APP_NAME from the caller's environment. Capture and restore the old value in a guard, and serialize env-mutating tests to avoid CI flakes.

Don't unwrap() config loading during startup.

load_app_config() already returns a normal initialization error, but load_config() hard-panics on the same .env failure path. That gives AppConfig and ConfigService different startup behavior and can abort the process before the framework can report the error cleanly. Make this helper fallible too, then register it as load_config()? in examples/hello-nestforge/src/app_module.rs.

🛠️ Suggested change
-pub fn load_config() -> ConfigService {
-    ConfigService::load_with_options(&ConfigOptions::new().env_file(".env")).unwrap()
+pub fn load_config() -> anyhow::Result<ConfigService> {

 }

Then update the module provider entry to load_config()?.

1. start/dev ignores cache build 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness

nestforge start/dev transpiles into .nestforge/cache but then runs cargo run against the
original project sources, so files containing import are still compiled unmodified. This breaks
the required shadow build flow and will still produce Rust parse errors for TypeScript-style
imports.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
`nestforge start/dev` transpiles sources into `.nestforge/cache` but still runs `cargo run` against the original project, so the transpiled output is not actually compiled.

## Issue Context
Compliance requires a shadow build that compiles the transpiled entry point from `.nestforge/cache`, not the original `src/` tree.

2. Named import rewrite invalid 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness

The transpiler generates invalid Rust use paths for named imports by converting :: into /, and
it attempts to remove import { ... } from ...; lines with a pattern that doesn't match non-empty
imports. This violates the requirement that transpiled output contain valid Rust use statements
and no remaining import keywords.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Named-import transpilation produces invalid Rust and may leave `import` statements in the output.

## Issue Context
The transpiler must output valid Rust `use` statements (with `::` module separators) and remove the original `import ...;` lines entirely.

3. transform_path() breaks mappings 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness

The path mapping logic does not correctly implement the documented transformations for @* and
multi-level parent imports (e.g., ../../...). This can produce invalid Rust paths and unresolved
modules in transpiled output.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
`transform_path()` does not reliably implement the specified transformation rules for `@*`, `./*`, and repeated `../*` parent traversal.

## Issue Context
Incorrect path mapping will generate invalid `use` paths and cause unresolved imports after transpilation.

4. Cache modules not snake_case 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness

The transpiler writes cache filenames and pub mod declarations using the raw file stem (not
snake_case), which will generate invalid module identifiers for dot-notated or kebab-case filenames
(e.g., users.service.rs). This violates the required filename-to-snake_case conversion for Rust
module paths.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Cache output paths and generated `pub mod` declarations use raw file stems, which can include dots or kebab-case and will not compile as Rust module identifiers.

## Issue Context
The transpiler is expected to support NestJS-style filenames while emitting Rust snake_case module identifiers.

5. common missing pascalcase aliases 📎 Requirement gap ✓ Correctness

nestforge::common re-exports macros as lowercase names (e.g., controller, get) but does not
provide PascalCase aliases like Controller/Get that the transpiler documentation expects. This
can cause transpiled imports like use nestforge::common::{Controller, Get}; to fail to compile.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
`nestforge::common` does not export PascalCase aliases (e.g., `Controller`, `Get`) required by the transpiled `use nestforge::common::{...}` imports.

## Issue Context
The transpiler documentation/examples imply PascalCase items under `nestforge::common`.

6. Generates pub mod mod 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness

The transpiler processes mod.rs as a normal source file, then also generates a new mod.rs that
includes pub mod mod;, which can create self-referential/invalid module declarations and break
compilation in directories that contain mod.rs.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
The transpiler includes `mod.rs` in the module list, producing `pub mod mod;` and overwriting the transpiled `mod.rs`.

### Issue Context
Rust module directories commonly use `mod.rs`.

### Fix Focus Areas
- crates/nestforge-cli/src/transpiler.rs[46-98]
  - Skip `mod.rs` (and likely `lib.rs`/`main.rs`) when collecting module items.
  - Ensure generated `mod.rs` content is deterministic and de-duplicated.
  - Add a test directory fixture with a `mod.rs` to validate output does not contain `pub mod mod;`.

7. Scaffolded apps won't compile 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness

The CLI app template no longer generates an AppConfig type/struct, but other generated template
files still import/resolve AppConfig, so newly scaffolded GraphQL/gRPC/microservices apps will
fail to compile.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
Generated apps reference `AppConfig` but `src/app_config.rs` no longer defines it.

### Issue Context
Templates across transports assume `AppConfig` exists (and is injectable/resolvable).

### Fix Focus Areas
- crates/nestforge-cli/src/main.rs[2796-2804]
  - Either reintroduce an `AppConfig` struct + injectable factory, or update *all* templates to use `ConfigService` consistently.
- crates/nestforge-cli/src/main.rs[2463-2472]
- crates/nestforge-cli/src/main.rs[2917-2954]
- crates/nestforge-cli/src/main.rs[2976-2996]
  - Ensure GraphQL/gRPC/microservices templates compile with the chosen config approach.
  - Add a CLI integration test that scaffolds each transport and runs `cargo check`.
