+# ADR-001: Path Traversal Protection for Cheatsheet Names
+
+Date: 2025-01-21
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The `cheat` tool allows users to create, edit, and remove cheatsheets using commands like:
+- `cheat --edit <name>`
+- `cheat --rm <name>`
+
+Without validation, a user could potentially provide malicious names like:
+- `../../../etc/passwd` (directory traversal)
+- `/etc/passwd` (absolute path)
+- `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` (home directory expansion)
+
+While `cheat` is a local tool run by the user themselves (not a network service), path traversal could still lead to:
+1. Accidental file overwrites outside cheatsheet directories
+2. Confusion about where files are being created
+3. Potential security issues in shared environments
+
+## Decision
+
+We implemented input validation for cheatsheet names to prevent directory traversal attacks. The validation rejects names that:
+
+1. Contain `..` (parent directory references)
+2. Are absolute paths (start with `/` on Unix)
+3. Start with `~` (home directory expansion)
+4. Are empty
+5. Start with `.` (hidden files - these are not displayed by cheat)
+
+The validation is performed at the application layer before any file operations occur.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Validation Function
+
+The validation is implemented in `internal/cheatpath/validate.go`:
+
+```go
+func ValidateSheetName(name string) error {
+    // Reject empty names
+    if name == "" {
+        return fmt.Errorf("cheatsheet name cannot be empty")
+    }
+
+    // Reject names containing directory traversal
+    if strings.Contains(name, "..") {
+        return fmt.Errorf("cheatsheet name cannot contain '..'")
+    }
+
+    // Reject absolute paths
+    if filepath.IsAbs(name) {
+        return fmt.Errorf("cheatsheet name cannot be an absolute path")
+    }
+
+    // Reject names that start with ~ (home directory expansion)
+    if strings.HasPrefix(name, "~") {
+        return fmt.Errorf("cheatsheet name cannot start with '~'")
+    }
+
+    // Reject hidden files (files that start with a dot)
+    filename := filepath.Base(name)
+    if strings.HasPrefix(filename, ".") {
+        return fmt.Errorf("cheatsheet name cannot start with '.' (hidden files are not supported)")
+    }
+
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+### Integration Points
+
+The validation is called in:
+- `cmd/cheat/cmd_edit.go` - before creating or editing a cheatsheet
+- `cmd/cheat/cmd_remove.go` - before removing a cheatsheet
+
+### Allowed Patterns
+
+The following patterns are explicitly allowed:
+- Simple names: `docker`, `git`
+- Nested paths: `docker/compose`, `lang/go/slice`
+- Current directory references: `./mysheet`
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Safety**: Prevents accidental or intentional file operations outside cheatsheet directories
+2. **Simplicity**: Validation happens early, before any file operations
+3. **User-friendly**: Clear error messages explain why a name was rejected
+4. **Performance**: Minimal overhead - simple string checks
+5. **Compatibility**: Doesn't break existing valid cheatsheet names
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **Limitation**: Users cannot use `..` in cheatsheet names even if legitimate
+2. **No symlink support**: Cannot create cheatsheets through symlinks outside the cheatpath
+
+### Neutral
+
+1. Uses Go's `filepath.IsAbs()` which handles platform differences (Windows vs Unix)
+2. No attempt to resolve or canonicalize paths - validation is purely syntactic
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Threat Model
+
+`cheat` is a local command-line tool, not a network service. The primary threats are:
+- User error (accidentally overwriting important files)
+- Malicious scripts that invoke `cheat` with crafted arguments
+- Shared system scenarios where cheatsheets might be shared
+
+### What This Protects Against
+
+- Directory traversal using `../`
+- Absolute path access to system files
+- Shell expansion of `~` to home directory
+- Empty names that might cause unexpected behavior
+- Hidden files that wouldn't be displayed anyway
+
+### What This Does NOT Protect Against
+
+- Users with filesystem permissions can still directly edit any file
+- Symbolic links within the cheatpath pointing outside
+- Race conditions (TOCTOU) - though minimal risk for a local tool
+- Malicious content within cheatsheets themselves
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive tests ensure the validation works correctly:
+
+1. **Unit tests** (`internal/cheatpath/validate_test.go`) verify the validation logic
+2. **Integration tests** verify the actual binary blocks malicious inputs
+3. **No system files are accessed** during testing - all tests use isolated directories
+
+Example test cases:
+```bash
+# These are blocked:
+cheat --edit "../../../etc/passwd"
+cheat --edit "/etc/passwd"
+cheat --edit "~/.ssh/config"
+cheat --rm ".."
+
+# These are allowed:
+cheat --edit "docker"
+cheat --edit "docker/compose"
+cheat --edit "./local"
+```
+
+## Alternative Approaches Considered
+
+1. **Path resolution and verification**: Resolve the final path and check if it's within the cheatpath
+   - Rejected: More complex, potential race conditions, platform-specific edge cases
+
+2. **Chroot/sandbox**: Run file operations in a restricted environment
+   - Rejected: Overkill for a local tool, platform compatibility issues
+
+3. **Filename allowlist**: Only allow alphanumeric characters and specific symbols
+   - Rejected: Too restrictive, would break existing cheatsheets with valid special characters

+# ADR-002: No Defensive Checks for Environment Variable Parsing
+
+Date: 2025-01-21
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+In `cmd/cheat/main.go` lines 47-52, the code parses environment variables assuming they all contain an equals sign:
+
+```go
+for _, e := range os.Environ() {
+    pair := strings.SplitN(e, "=", 2)
+    if runtime.GOOS == "windows" {
+        pair[0] = strings.ToUpper(pair[0])
+    }
+    envvars[pair[0]] = pair[1]  // Could panic if pair has < 2 elements
+}
+```
+
+If `os.Environ()` returned a string without an equals sign, `strings.SplitN` would return a slice with only one element, causing a panic when accessing `pair[1]`.
+
+## Decision
+
+We will **not** add defensive checks for this condition. The current code that assumes all environment strings contain "=" will remain unchanged.
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Go Runtime Guarantees
+
+Go's official documentation guarantees that `os.Environ()` returns environment variables in the form "key=value". This is a documented contract of the Go runtime that has been stable since Go 1.0.
+
+### Empirical Evidence
+
+Testing across platforms confirms:
+- All environment variables returned by `os.Environ()` contain at least one "="
+- Empty environment variables appear as "KEY=" (with an empty value)
+- Even Windows special variables like "=C:=C:\path" maintain the format
+
+### Cost-Benefit Analysis
+
+Adding defensive code would:
+- **Cost**: Add complexity and cognitive overhead
+- **Cost**: Suggest uncertainty about Go's documented behavior
+- **Cost**: Create dead code that can never execute under normal conditions
+- **Benefit**: Protect against a theoretical scenario that violates Go's guarantees
+
+The only scenarios where this could panic are:
+1. A bug in Go's runtime (extremely unlikely, would affect all Go programs)
+2. Corrupted OS-level environment (would cause broader system issues)
+3. Breaking change in future Go version (would break many programs, unlikely)
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Simpler, more readable code
+- Trust in platform guarantees reduces unnecessary defensive programming
+- No performance overhead from unnecessary checks
+
+### Negative
+- Theoretical panic if Go's guarantees are violated
+
+### Neutral
+- Follows Go community standards of trusting standard library contracts
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Add Defensive Check
+```go
+if len(pair) < 2 {
+    continue  // or pair[1] = ""
+}
+```
+**Rejected**: Adds complexity for a condition that should never occur.
+
+### 2. Add Panic with Clear Message
+```go
+if len(pair) < 2 {
+    panic("os.Environ() contract violation: " + e)
+}
+```
+**Rejected**: Would crash the program for the same theoretical issue.
+
+### 3. Add Comment Documenting Assumption
+```go
+// os.Environ() guarantees "key=value" format, so pair[1] is safe
+envvars[pair[0]] = pair[1]
+```
+**Rejected**: While documentation is good, this particular guarantee is fundamental to Go.
+
+## Notes
+
+If Go ever changes this behavior (extremely unlikely as it would break compatibility), it would be caught immediately in testing as the program would panic on startup. This would be a clear signal to revisit this decision.

+# ADR-003: No Parallelization for Search Operations
+
+Date: 2025-01-22
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+We investigated optimizing cheat's search performance through parallelization. Initial assumptions suggested that I/O operations (reading multiple cheatsheet files) would be the primary bottleneck, making parallel processing beneficial.
+
+Performance benchmarks were implemented to measure search operations, and a parallel search implementation using goroutines was created and tested.
+
+## Decision
+
+We will **not** implement parallel search. The sequential implementation will remain unchanged.
+
+## Rationale
+
+### Performance Profile Analysis
+
+CPU profiling revealed that search performance is dominated by:
+- **Process creation overhead** (~30% in `os/exec.(*Cmd).Run`)
+- **System calls** (~30% in `syscall.Syscall6`)
+- **Process management** (fork, exec, pipe setup)
+
+The actual search logic (regex matching, file reading) was negligible in the profile, indicating our optimization efforts were targeting the wrong bottleneck.
+
+### Benchmark Results
+
+Parallel implementation showed minimal improvements:
+- Simple search: 17ms → 15.3ms (10% improvement)
+- Regex search: 15ms → 14.9ms (minimal improvement)  
+- Colorized search: 19.5ms → 16.8ms (14% improvement)
+- Complex regex: 20ms → 15.3ms (24% improvement)
+
+The best case saved only ~5ms in absolute terms.
+
+### Cost-Benefit Analysis
+
+**Costs of parallelization:**
+- Added complexity with goroutines, channels, and synchronization
+- Increased maintenance burden
+- More difficult debugging and testing
+- Potential race conditions
+
+**Benefits:**
+- 5-15% performance improvement (5ms in real terms)
+- Imperceptible to users in interactive use
+
+### User Experience Perspective
+
+For a command-line tool:
+- Current 15-20ms response time is excellent
+- Users cannot perceive 5ms differences
+- Sub-50ms is considered "instant" in HCI research
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Simpler, more maintainable codebase
+- Easier to debug and reason about
+- No synchronization bugs or race conditions
+- Focus remains on code clarity
+
+### Negative
+- Missed opportunity for ~5ms performance gain
+- Search remains single-threaded
+
+### Neutral
+- Performance remains excellent for intended use case
+- Follows Go philosophy of preferring simplicity
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Keep Parallel Implementation
+**Rejected**: Complexity outweighs negligible performance gains.
+
+### 2. Optimize Process Startup
+**Rejected**: Process creation overhead is inherent to CLI tools and cannot be avoided without fundamental architecture changes.
+
+### 3. Future Optimizations
+If performance becomes critical, consider:
+- **Long-running daemon**: Eliminate process startup overhead entirely
+- **Shell function**: Reduce fork/exec overhead
+- **Compiled-in cheatsheets**: Eliminate file I/O
+
+However, these would fundamentally change the tool's architecture and usage model.
+
+## Notes
+
+This decision reinforces important principles:
+1. Always profile before optimizing
+2. Consider the full execution context
+3. Measure what matters to users
+4. Complexity has a real cost
+
+The parallelization attempt was valuable as a learning exercise and definitively answered whether this optimization path was worthwhile.
