+# logViewer
+
+**[English](README.md)**
+
+用 Rust 构建的高性能终端日志查看器，专为处理超大日志文件（GB 级别）而设计，内存占用极低。
+
+基于 mmap 内存映射、稀疏行索引和后台渐进式加载，打开文件几乎瞬时完成——即使是 5GB 以上的日志文件，也能在索引完成前就开始滚动浏览。
+
+## 特性
+
+- **瞬时打开** — mmap 读取 + 后台渐进式索引，索引未完成即可开始浏览
+- **超大文件支持** — 稀疏行索引（每 256 行采样一次），5GB 文件仅占用约 8MB 内存
+- **实时文件追踪** — 通过 `notify` 监控文件追加、截断和日志轮转
+- **JSON 日志解析** — 支持 NDJSON 格式，自动处理 BOM、检测重复键，可切换格式化显示
+- **Unicode 感知的换行** — 正确处理中文、emoji 和制表符的行宽计算
+- **持久化索引缓存** — 行索引保存到磁盘，使用 xxh3 哈希校验内容变更，再次打开几乎无需等待
+- **Vim 风格快捷键** — 终端用户无学习成本
+- **可自定义配色** — 每个日志级别独立配色，通过 TOML 配置文件管理，TUI 内直接调整
+
+## 快速开始
+
+```bash
+# 直接编译运行
+cargo run -p log-viewer-tui -- path/to/logfile.log
+
+# 或先编译再运行
+cargo build --release -p log-viewer-tui
+./target/release/log-viewer-tui path/to/logfile.log
+```
+
+需要 Rust 1.92 及以上版本（见 `rust-toolchain.toml`）。
+
+## 快捷键
+
+| 按键 | 操作 |
+|------|------|
+| `j` / `↓` | 向下滚动一行 |
+| `k` / `↑` | 向上滚动一行 |
+| `Ctrl+d` | 向下滚动半页 |
+| `Ctrl+u` | 向上滚动半页 |
+| `Ctrl+f` / `PgDn` | 向下滚动一页 |
+| `Ctrl+b` / `PgUp` | 向上滚动一页 |
+| `G` / `End` | 跳转到文件末尾 |
+| `gg` / `Home` | 跳转到文件开头 |
+| `Tab` | 切换 JSON 格式化显示 |
+| `S` | 打开配色设置 |
+| `q` / `Esc` | 退出 |
+
+设置面板：`j`/`k` 选择日志级别，`←`/`→` 切换颜色，`Enter` 保存，`Esc` 取消。

+## 项目结构
+
+```
+crates/core  — 核心库：I/O、解析、数据类型、配置、文件监控
+crates/tui   — 终端界面（ratatui + crossterm）
+crates/gui   — 图形界面（egui + eframe）— 占位模块，尚未实现
+crates/bench — mmap 与 pread 性能对比基准测试
+```
+
+## 开发
+
+```bash
+# 检查、测试、代码规范
+cargo check --workspace
+cargo test --workspace
+cargo fmt --check --all
+cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings
+
+# 运行基准测试（首次运行会生成约 5GB 测试文件）
+cargo run -p log-viewer-bench
+cargo run -p log-viewer-bench -- --quick --suites startup,render --output results.md
+
+# 单独测试某个 crate
+cargo test -p log-viewer-core
+cargo test -p log-viewer-tui
+```
+
+### CI
+
+CI 在 ubuntu-latest 和 windows-latest 上运行以下检查：
+
+1. `cargo fmt --check --all`
+2. `cargo check --workspace`
+3. `cargo test --workspace`
+4. `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings`
+
+无自定义 rustfmt 或 clippy 配置——使用工具链默认值。
+
+## 架构
+
+核心库 `log-viewer-core` 负责所有 I/O、解析和数据类型。关键设计决策：
+
+- **稀疏行索引** — 每 256 行采样一次，使用 memchr SIMD 加速。100 万行的文件仅产生约 32KB 的索引，而非 8MB。
+- **渐进式加载** — `ProgressiveFileReader` 先读取文件头尾进行快速行数估算，再通过 crossbeam-channel 在后台线程构建完整索引。
+- **mmap 与 TOCTOU 防护** — mmap 映射后进行 stat 校验以检测文件变更。`read_cache` 模块为未来基于 pread 的实现预留，可彻底消除 SIGBUS 风险。
+- **持久化缓存** — 行索引序列化到磁盘，使用 xxh3 内容哈希进行失效校验，通过临时文件实现原子写入。
+- **视觉高度索引** — 基于换行后行高的前缀和数组，支持 O(log n) 的滚动定位，适用于长行换行场景。
+
+计划中但尚未实现的功能：过滤、书签、会话管理、搜索引擎（stub 模块已创建）。
+
+## 基准测试
+
+自研基准测试框架，对比 mmap 与 pread 两种后端在 7 个测试场景（启动、渲染、跳转、内存、增长、轮转、并发）下的表现。使用挂钟计时和 `/proc/self/` 的 RSS 及页错误指标。结果以 Markdown 表格形式输出到 `benchmark-report.md`。
+
+基准测试二进制包含约 75 个单元测试，覆盖读取器后端和指标采集逻辑。

+# logViewer
+
+**[中文文档](README-zh.md)**
+
+A high-performance terminal log file viewer built in Rust, designed to handle multi-gigabyte files with minimal memory overhead.
+
+Uses memory-mapped I/O with a sparse line index and progressive background loading to open files instantly — even 5GB+ logs scroll smoothly from the first keystroke.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Instant file open** — mmap-backed reader with background progressive indexing; start scrolling before indexing finishes
+- **Handles huge files** — sparse line index (1 entry per 256 lines) keeps memory usage at ~8MB even for 5GB files
+- **Live file tracking** — watches for appends, truncations, and log rotation via `notify`
+- **JSON log support** — NDJSON parsing with BOM handling, duplicate key detection, and toggleable pretty-printing
+- **Unicode-aware wrapping** — correct line wrapping for CJK, emoji, and tabs
+- **Persistent index cache** — line indexes saved to disk with xxh3 content hashing; re-opens are near-instant
+- **Vim-like keybindings** — familiar navigation for terminal users
+- **Customizable colors** — per-log-level colors via TOML config, adjustable from within the TUI
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Build and run
+cargo run -p log-viewer-tui -- path/to/logfile.log
+
+# Or build first
+cargo build --release -p log-viewer-tui
+./target/release/log-viewer-tui path/to/logfile.log
+```
+
+Requires Rust 1.92+ (see `rust-toolchain.toml`).
+
+## Keybindings
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| `j` / `↓` | Scroll down one line |
+| `k` / `↑` | Scroll up one line |
+| `Ctrl+d` | Scroll down half page |
+| `Ctrl+u` | Scroll up half page |
+| `Ctrl+f` / `PgDn` | Scroll down full page |
+| `Ctrl+b` / `PgUp` | Scroll up full page |
+| `G` / `End` | Jump to end of file |
+| `gg` / `Home` | Jump to start of file |
+| `Tab` | Toggle JSON pretty-printing |
+| `S` | Open color settings |
+| `q` / `Esc` | Quit |
+
+Settings panel: use `j`/`k` to select a log level, `←`/`→` to cycle colors, `Enter` to save, `Esc` to cancel.
+
+## Workspace Structure
+
+```
+crates/core  — Shared library: I/O, parsing, types, config, file watching
+crates/tui   — Terminal UI (ratatui + crossterm)
+crates/gui   — GUI (egui + eframe) — placeholder, not yet functional
+crates/bench — mmap vs pread benchmark harness
+```
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Check, test, lint
+cargo check --workspace
+cargo test --workspace
+cargo fmt --check --all
+cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings
+
+# Run benchmarks (generates ~5GB test file on first run)
+cargo run -p log-viewer-bench
+cargo run -p log-viewer-bench -- --quick --suites startup,render --output results.md
+
+# Test a single crate
+cargo test -p log-viewer-core
+cargo test -p log-viewer-tui
+```
+
+### CI
+
+The CI gate runs on ubuntu-latest and windows-latest:
+1. `cargo fmt --check --all`
+2. `cargo check --workspace`
+3. `cargo test --workspace`
+4. `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings`
+
+No custom rustfmt or clippy config — uses toolchain defaults.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The core library (`log-viewer-core`) owns all I/O, parsing, and data types. Key design decisions:
+
+- **Sparse line index** — samples every 256 lines using memchr SIMD acceleration. A 1M-line file produces a ~32KB index instead of ~8MB.
+- **Progressive loading** — `ProgressiveFileReader` starts with a quick head+tail sample for instant line estimates, then builds the full index in a background thread via crossbeam-channel.
+- **mmap with TOCTOU mitigation** — post-mmap stat check to detect file changes. `read_cache` module exists as a future pread-based alternative to eliminate SIGBUS risk entirely.
+- **Persistent cache** — line indexes are serialized to disk with xxh3 content hashing for invalidation. Atomic writes via temp files.
+- **Visual height index** — prefix-sum over wrapped-line heights, enabling O(log n) scroll-to-line mapping for long wrapped lines.
+
+Planned but not yet built: filtering, bookmarks, sessions, search engine (stub modules exist).
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+Custom harness comparing mmap vs pread backends across 7 suites (startup, render, jump, memory, growth, rotation, concurrent). Uses wall-clock timing with `/proc/self/` RSS and page fault metrics. Results are written as markdown tables to `benchmark-report.md`.
+
+The benchmark binary includes ~75 unit tests for the reader backends and metrics collection.
