+# mdt Internal Code Documentation
+
+This document provides a detailed overview of the `mdt` codebase architecture and internal components.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+`mdt` is built as a modular system where core functionalities are separated into internal packages. The data flow typically follows this pattern:
+
+1.  **Parsing**: Source code is parsed into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
+2.  **Indexing**: ASTs from multiple files are aggregated into a unified `ProjectTree`.
+3.  **Processing**: The `ProjectTree` is used by the Validator, Builder, and LSP server to perform their respective tasks.
+
+## Package Structure
+
+```

+  mdt/              # Application entry point (CLI)
+internal/
+  builder/          # Logic for merging and building configurations

+  schema/           # CUE schema loading and integration
+  validator/        # Semantic analysis and validation logic
+```
+
+## Core Packages
+
+### 1. `internal/parser`
+
+Responsible for converting MARTe configuration text into structured data.
+
+*   **Lexer (`lexer.go`)**: Tokenizes the input stream. Handles MARTe specific syntax like `#package`, `//!` pragmas, and `//#` docstrings. Supports standard identifiers and `#`-prefixed identifiers.
+*   **Parser (`parser.go`)**: Recursive descent parser. Converts tokens into a `Configuration` object containing definitions, comments, and pragmas.
+*   **AST (`ast.go`)**: Defines the node types (`ObjectNode`, `Field`, `Value`, `VariableDefinition`, etc.). All nodes implement the `Node` interface providing position information.
+
+### 2. `internal/index`
+
+The brain of the system. It maintains a holistic view of the project.
+
+*   **ProjectTree**: The central data structure. It holds the root of the configuration hierarchy (`Root`), references, and isolated files.
+*   **ProjectNode**: Represents a logical node in the configuration. Since a node can be defined across multiple files (fragments), `ProjectNode` aggregates these fragments. It also stores locally defined variables in its `Variables` map.
+*   **NodeMap**: A hash map index (`map[string][]*ProjectNode`) for $O(1)$ symbol lookups, optimizing `FindNode` operations.
+*   **Reference Resolution**: The `ResolveReferences` method links `Reference` objects to their target `ProjectNode` or `VariableDefinition`. It uses `resolveScopedName` to respect lexical scoping rules, searching up the hierarchy from the reference's container.
+
+### 3. `internal/validator`
+
+Ensures configuration correctness.
+
+*   **Validator**: Iterates over the `ProjectTree` to check rules.
+*   **Checks**:
+    *   **Structure**: Duplicate fields, invalid content.
+    *   **Schema**: Unifies nodes with CUE schemas (loaded via `internal/schema`) to validate types and mandatory fields.
+    *   **Signals**: Verifies that signals referenced in GAMs exist in DataSources and match types.
+    *   **Threading**: Checks `CheckDataSourceThreading` to ensure non-multithreaded DataSources are not shared across threads in the same state.
+    *   **Ordering**: `CheckINOUTOrdering` verifies that for `INOUT` signals, the producing GAM appears before the consuming GAM in the thread's execution list.
+    *   **Variables**: `CheckVariables` validates variable values against their defined CUE types (e.g. `uint`, regex). `CheckUnresolvedVariables` ensures all used variables are defined.
+    *   **Unused**: Detects unused GAMs and Signals (suppressible via pragmas).
+
+### 4. `internal/lsp`
+
+Implements the Language Server Protocol.
+
+*   **Server (`server.go`)**: Handles JSON-RPC messages over stdio.
+*   **Incremental Sync**: Supports `textDocumentSync: 2`. `HandleDidChange` applies patches to the in-memory document buffers using `offsetAt` logic.
+*   **Features**:
+    *   `HandleCompletion`: Context-aware suggestions (Schema fields, Signal references, Class names).
+    *   `HandleHover`: Shows documentation, signal types, and usage analysis (e.g., "Used in GAMs: Controller (Input)").
+    *   `HandleDefinition` / `HandleReferences`: specific lookup using the `index`.
+
+### 5. `internal/builder`
+
+Merges multiple MARTe files into a single output.
+
+*   **Logic**: It parses all input files, builds a temporary `ProjectTree`, and then reconstructs the source code.
+*   **Merging**: It interleaves fields and subnodes from different file fragments to produce a coherent single-file configuration, respecting the `#package` hierarchy.
+
+### 6. `internal/schema`
+
+Manages CUE schemas.
+
+*   **Loading**: Loads the embedded default schema (`marte.cue`) and merges it with any user-provided `.marte_schema.cue`.
+*   **Metadata**: Handles the `#meta` field in schemas to extract properties like `direction` and `multithreaded` support for the validator.
+
+## Key Data Flows
+
+### Reference Resolution
+1.  **Scan**: Files are parsed and added to the `ProjectTree`.
+2.  **Index**: `RebuildIndex` populates `NodeMap`.
+3.  **Resolve**: `ResolveReferences` iterates all recorded references (values) and calls `FindNode`.
+4.  **Link**: If found, `ref.Target` is set to the `ProjectNode`.
+
+### Validation Lifecycle
+1.  `mdt check` or LSP `didChange` triggers validation.
+2.  A new `Validator` is created with the current `Tree`.
+3.  `ValidateProject` is called.
+4.  It walks the tree, runs checks, and populates `Diagnostics`.
+5.  Diagnostics are printed (CLI) or published via `textDocument/publishDiagnostics` (LSP).
+
+### Threading Check Logic
+1.  Finds the `RealTimeApplication` node.
+2.  Iterates through `States` and `Threads`.
+3.  For each Thread, resolves the `Functions` (GAMs).
+4.  For each GAM, resolves connected `DataSources` via Input/Output signals.
+5.  Maps `DataSource -> Thread` within the context of a State.
+6.  If a DataSource is seen in >1 Thread, it checks the `#meta.multithreaded` property. If false (default), an error is raised.
+
+### INOUT Ordering Logic
+1.  Iterates Threads.
+2.  Iterates GAMs in execution order.
+3.  Tracks `producedSignals` and `consumedSignals`.
+4.  For each GAM, checks Inputs. If Input is `INOUT` (and not multithreaded) and not in `producedSignals`, reports "Consumed before Produced" error.
+5.  Registers Outputs in `producedSignals`.
+6.  At end of thread, checks for signals that were produced but never consumed, reporting a warning.

+# MARTe Configuration Guide
+
+This guide explains the syntax, features, and best practices for writing MARTe configurations using `mdt`.
+
+## 1. Syntax Overview
+
+MARTe configurations use a hierarchical object-oriented syntax.
+
+### Objects (Nodes)
+Objects are defined using `+` (public/instantiated) or `$` (template/class-like) prefixes. Every object **must** have a `Class` field.
+
+```marte
++MyObject = {
+    Class = MyClass
+    Field1 = 100
+    Field2 = "Hello"
+}
+```
+
+### Fields and Values
+- **Fields**: Alphanumeric identifiers (e.g., `Timeout`, `CycleTime`).
+- **Values**:
+  - Integers: `10`, `-5`, `0xFA`
+  - Floats: `3.14`, `1e-3`
+  - Strings: `"Text"`
+  - Booleans: `true`, `false`
+  - References: `MyObject`, `MyObject.SubNode`
+  - Arrays: `{ 1 2 3 }` or `{ "A" "B" }`
+
+### Comments and Documentation
+- Line comments: `// This is a comment`
+- Docstrings: `//# This documents the following node`. These appear in hover tooltips.
+
+```marte
+//# This is the main application
++App = { ... }
+```
+
+## 2. Signals and Data Flow
+
+Signals define how data moves between DataSources (drivers) and GAMs (algorithms).
+
+### Defining Signals
+Signals are typically defined in a `DataSource`. They must have a `Type`.
+
+```marte
++MyDataSource = {
+    Class = GAMDataSource
+    Signals = {
+        Signal1 = { Type = uint32 }
+        Signal2 = { Type = float32 }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Using Signals in GAMs
+GAMs declare inputs and outputs. You can refer to signals directly or alias them.
+
+```marte
++MyGAM = {
+    Class = IOGAM
+    InputSignals = {
+        Signal1 = {
+            DataSource = MyDataSource
+            Type = uint32 // Must match DataSource definition
+        }
+        MyAlias = {
+            Alias = Signal2
+            DataSource = MyDataSource
+            Type = float32
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Threading Rules
+**Validation Rule**: A DataSource that is **not** marked as multithreaded (default) cannot be used by GAMs running in different threads within the same State.
+
+**Ordering Rule**: For `INOUT` signals (data dependency within a thread), the Producer GAM must appear **before** the Consumer GAM in the thread's `Functions` list. This ensures correct data flow within the cycle. This rule is skipped if the DataSource is marked as `multithreaded: true`.
+
+To allow sharing, the DataSource class in the schema must have `#meta: multithreaded: true`.
+
+## 3. Schemas and Validation
+
+`mdt` validates your configuration against CUE schemas.
+
+### Built-in Schema
+Common classes (`RealTimeApplication`, `StateMachine`, `IOGAM`, etc.) are built-in.
+
+### Custom Schemas
+You can extend the schema by creating a `.marte_schema.cue` file in your project root.
+
+**Example: Adding a custom GAM**
+
+```cue
+package schema
+
+#Classes: {
+    MyCustomGAM: {
+        // Metadata for Validator/LSP
+        #meta: {
+            direction: "INOUT" // "IN", "OUT", "INOUT"
+            multithreaded: false
+        }
+        
+        // Fields
+        Gain: float
+        Offset?: float // Optional
+        InputSignals: {...}
+        OutputSignals: {...}
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 4. Multi-file Projects
+
+You can split your configuration into multiple files.
+
+### Namespaces
+Use `#package` to define where the file's content fits in the hierarchy.
+
+**file1.marte**
+```marte
+#package MyApp.Controller
++MyController = { ... }
+```
+
+This places `MyController` under `MyApp.Controller`.
+
+### Building
+The `build` command merges all files.
+
+```bash
+mdt build -o final.marte src/*.marte
+```
+
+## 5. Pragmas (Suppressing Warnings)
+
+If validation is too strict, you can suppress warnings using pragmas (`//!`).
+
+- **Suppress Unused Warning**:
+  ```marte
+  +MyGAM = {
+      Class = IOGAM
+      //! ignore(unused): This GAM is triggered externally
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Suppress Implicit Signal Warning**:
+  ```marte
+  InputSignals = {
+      //! ignore(implicit)
+      ImplicitSig = { Type = uint32 }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Type Casting**:
+  ```marte
+  Sig1 = {
+      //! cast(uint32, int32): Intentional mismatch
+      DataSource = DS
+      Type = int32
+  }
+  ```
+
+## 6. Variables
+
+You can define variables using `#var`. The type expression supports CUE syntax.
+
+```marte
+#var MyVar: uint32 = 100
+#var Env: "PROD" | "DEV" = "DEV"
+```
+
+### Usage
+Reference a variable using `$`:
+
+```marte
+Field = $MyVar
+```
+
+### Expressions
+You can use operators in field values. Supported operators:
+- **Math**: `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `%`, `^` (XOR), `&`, `|` (Bitwise)
+- **String Concatenation**: `..`
+
+```marte
+Field1 = 10 + 20 * 2  // 50
+Field2 = "Hello " .. "World"
+Field3 = $MyVar + 5
+```
+
+### Build Override
+You can override variable values during build:
+
+```bash
+mdt build -vMyVar=200 -vEnv="PROD" src/*.marte
+```

+- Syntax highlighting and error reporting
+- Auto-completion
+- Go to Definition / References
+- Hover documentation
+- Symbol renaming
+
+The LSP server is started via the command:
+
+```bash
+mdt lsp
+```
+
+It communicates via **stdio**.
+
+## VS Code
+
+You can use a generic LSP extension like [Generic LSP Client](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=summne.vscode-generic-lsp-client) or configure a custom task.
+
+**Using "Run on Save" or similar extensions is an option, but for true LSP support:**
+
+1.  Install the **"glspc"** (Generic LSP Client) extension or similar.
+2.  Configure it in your `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+"glspc.languageServer configurations": [
+    {
+        "languageId": "marte",
+        "command": "mdt",
+        "args": ["lsp"],

+
+3.  Associate `.marte` files with the language ID:
+
+```json
+"files.associations": {
+    "*.marte": "marte"
+}
+```
+
+## Neovim (Native LSP)
+
+Add the following to your `init.lua` or `init.vim` (using `nvim-lspconfig`):
+
+```lua

+# Creating a MARTe Application with mdt
+
+This tutorial will guide you through creating, building, and validating a complete MARTe application using the `mdt` toolset.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `mdt` installed and available in your PATH.
+- `make` (optional but recommended).
+
+## Step 1: Initialize the Project
+
+Start by creating a new project named `MyControlApp`.
+
+```bash
+mdt init MyControlApp
+cd MyControlApp
+```
+
+This command creates a standard project structure:
+
+- `Makefile`: For building and checking the project.
+- `.marte_schema.cue`: For defining custom schemas (if needed).
+- `src/app.marte`: The main application definition.
+- `src/components.marte`: A placeholder for defining components (DataSources).
+
+## Step 2: Define Components
+
+Open `src/components.marte`. This file uses the `#package App.Data` namespace, meaning all definitions here will be children of `App.Data`.
+
+Let's define a **Timer** (input source) and a **Logger** (output destination).
+
+```marte
+#package MyContollApp.App.Data
+
++DDB = {
+    Class = GAMDataSource
+}
++TimingDataSource = {
+    Class = TimingDataSource
+}
++Timer = {
+    Class = LinuxTimer
+    Signals = {
+        Counter = {
+            Type = uint32
+        }
+        Time = {
+            Type = uint32
+        }
+    }
+}
+
++Logger = {
+    Class = LoggerDataSource
+    Signals = {
+        LogValue = {
+            Type = float32
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 3: Implement Logic (GAM)
+
+Open `src/app.marte`. This file defines the `App` node.
+
+We will add a GAM that takes the time from the Timer, converts it, and logs it.
+
+Add the GAM definition inside the `+Main` object (or as a separate object if you prefer modularity). Let's modify `src/app.marte`:
+
+```marte
+#package MyContollApp
++App = {
+    Class = RealTimeApplication
+    +Functions = {
+        Class = RefenceContainer
+        // Define the GAM
+        +Converter = {
+            Class = IOGAM
+            InputSignals = {
+                TimeIn = {
+                    DataSource = Timer
+                    Type = uint32
+                    Frequency = 100 //Hz
+                    Alias = Time // Refers to 'Time' signal in Timer
+                }
+            }
+            OutputSignals = {
+                LogOut = {
+                    DataSource = Logger
+                    Type = float32
+                    Alias = LogValue
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    +States = {
+        Class = ReferenceContainer
+        +Run = {
+            Class = RealTimeState
+            +MainThread = {
+                Class = RealTimeThread
+                Functions = { Converter } // Run our GAM
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    +Data = {
+        Class = ReferenceContainer
+        DefaultDataSource = DDB
+    }
+    +Scheduler = {
+        Class = GAMScheduler
+        TimingDataSource = TimingDataSource
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 4: Validate
+
+Run the validation check to ensure everything is correct (types match, references are valid).
+
+```bash
+mdt check src/*.marte
+```
+
+Or using Make:
+
+```bash
+make check
+```
+
+If you made a mistake (e.g., mismatched types), `mdt` will report an error.
+
+## Step 5: Build
+
+Merge all files into a single configuration file.
+
+```bash
+mdt build -o final_app.marte src/*.marte
+```
+
+Or using Make:
+
+```bash
+make build
+```
+
+This produces `app.marte` (or `final_app.marte`), which contains the flattened, merged configuration ready for the MARTe framework.
+
+## Step 6: Advanced - Custom Schema
+
+Suppose you want to enforce that your DataSources support multithreading. You can modify `.marte_schema.cue`.
+
+```cue
+package schema
+
+#Classes: {
+    // Enforce that LinuxTimer must be multithreaded (example)
+    LinuxTimer: {
+        #meta: {
+            multithreaded: true
+        }
+        ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Now, if you use `LinuxTimer` in multiple threads, `mdt check` will allow it (because of `#meta.multithreaded: true`). By default, it would disallow it.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+You have successfully initialized, implemented, validated, and built a MARTe application using `mdt`.

+
+## Running Examples
+
+Prerequisite: `mdt` must be built (or installed). The Makefiles in the examples assume `mdt` is available at `../../build/mdt`.
+
+### Simple Project
+
+Demonstrates a minimal setup:
+- Single `main.marte` file.
+- Basic Thread and GAM definition.
+
+**Run:**
+```bash
+cd simple
+make check
+make build
+```
+
+### Complex Project
+
+Demonstrates advanced features:
+- **Multi-file Structure**: `src/app.marte` (Logic) and `src/components.marte` (Data).
+- **Namespaces**: Use of `#package` to organize nodes.
+- **Custom Schema**: `.marte_schema.cue` defines a custom class (`CustomController`) with specific metadata (`#meta.multithreaded`).
+- **Validation**: Enforces strict typing and custom rules.
+
+**Run:**
+```bash
+cd complex
+make check
+make build
+```
