 ## Quick Summary
 Transmission Manager is a lightweight single-binary Go web app for managing and viewing torrents in a Transmission RPC client. It serves a dark-mode vanilla HTML/CSS/JS SPA and proxies Transmission RPC calls through a minimal Go backend.
 
-## Stack
-- Backend: Go 1.24, standard library only.
-- Frontend: Vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No framework or build step.
-- Static assets: embedded with Go `embed` from `web/`.
-- Runtime port: `8080`.
-- Container: multi-stage Docker build from `golang:1.24-alpine` to `alpine:latest`.

-## Current Files
-- `project-context.md` - canonical project context and implementation rules for agents.
-- `main.go` - HTTP server, embedded static file serving, environment-driven Transmission RPC client, connection warning page, API routes.
-- `web/index.html` - SPA shell and toolbar controls.
-- `web/app.js` - frontend state, polling, in-place rendering, sorting, pause/resume actions.
-- `web/styles.css` - dark-only UI theme and responsive layout.
-- `go.mod` - module `transmission-manager`, Go 1.24.
-- `Dockerfile` - production container build.
-
-## Core API Surface
-- `GET /` serves a Transmission connection warning page when setup fails; otherwise it serves the embedded frontend.
-- `GET /api/torrents` returns Transmission torrent data.
-- `GET /api/stats` returns global session stats.
-- `POST /api/torrents/{id}/pause` maps to Transmission `torrent-stop`.
-- `POST /api/torrents/{id}/resume` maps to queue-respecting Transmission `torrent-start`.

 ## Implementation Guidelines
 - Keep the backend stdlib-only. Do not add Gin, Fiber, Chi, Gorilla, or other Go web frameworks.
 - Keep the frontend dependency-free. Do not add React, Vue, Svelte, bundlers, package managers, or transpilers.

 ## Transmission RPC Notes
-- Default RPC URL: `http://192.168.20.22:3210/transmission/rpc`.
+- RPC URL read from `TRANSMISSION_URL` (must be set).
-- Override the RPC URL with `TRANSMISSION_URL`.
 - Optional HTTP Basic Auth credentials come from `TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME` and `TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD`; unset, empty, or literal `null` values mean no credential value.
 - Handle the Transmission session-ID handshake:
   1. POST to the RPC URL.

+# Transmission Manager
+
+A lightweight, modern, single-binary web application for viewing and managing torrents from a [Transmission](https://transmissionbt.com/) RPC daemon.
+
+Transmission Manager serves a fast, clean, dark-mode Single Page Application (SPA) and proxies Transmission RPC calls through a minimal Go backend—all contained within a single executable.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+- **Single Static Binary**: All frontend assets (`index.html`, `app.js`, `styles.css`) are embedded directly into the Go binary using `embed`. Zero runtime asset dependencies.
+- **Modern Dark-Mode UI**: Built with vanilla HTML5, CSS3 (using CSS variables), and JavaScript. Responsive, compact layout designed for both desktop and mobile screens.
+- **Live Polling & In-Place Updates**: Keyed DOM reconciliation updates existing torrent cards in place without screen flickering or scroll jumping. Selectable refresh interval (1s, 3s, 5s, 10s).
+- **Rich Sorting & Filtering**:
+  - Filter torrents instantly by name.
+  - Sort by **Status**, **Name**, **Progress**, **Ratio**, **Size**, **Speed**, or **Availability**.
+- **Interactive Controls**: Pause or resume individual torrents directly from the web interface.
+- **Robust Transmission RPC Support**:
+  - Automatically handles Transmission `409 Conflict` session ID (`X-Transmission-Session-Id`) handshakes.
+  - Supports optional HTTP Basic Authentication.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+Transmission Manager is configured entirely via environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| `TRANSMISSION_URL` | **Yes** | Absolute HTTP or HTTPS RPC endpoint URL of your Transmission instance. |
+| `TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME` | No | Basic Authentication username for Transmission RPC. |
+| `TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD` | No | Basic Authentication password for Transmission RPC. |
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Using Docker
+
+Run the container directly:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name transmission-manager \
+  -p 8080:8080 \
+  -e TRANSMISSION_URL=http://192.168.1.100:9091/transmission/rpc \
+  -e TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME=admin \
+  -e TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD=secret \
+  transmission-manager:latest
+```
+
+### Using Docker Compose
+
+Create a `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  transmission-manager:
+    build: .
+    container_name: transmission-manager
+    ports:
+      - "8080:8080"
+    environment:
+      TRANSMISSION_URL: http://192.168.1.100:9091/transmission/rpc
+      TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME: admin
+      TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD: secret
+    restart: unless-stopped
+```
+
+Then start the application:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8080`.
+
+---
+
+## Building from Source
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [Go](https://go.dev/) 1.24 or later
+
+### Build
+
+Compile the single binary with embedded frontend assets:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/your-repo/transmission-manager.git
+cd transmission-manager
+go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o transmission-manager .
+```
+
+### Run
+
+```bash
+export TRANSMISSION_URL="http://localhost:9091/transmission/rpc"
+./transmission-manager
+```
+
+By default, the server listens on port `8080`.

-The RPC endpoint defaults to `http://192.168.20.22:3210/transmission/rpc` and can be overridden with `TRANSMISSION_URL`. `TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME` and `TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD` are optional; unset, empty, or literal `null` values mean no credential value.

When either credential has a value, the backend sends HTTP Basic Auth on RPC requests.
 
 Transmission usually rejects the first request or an expired session with HTTP `409` and a fresh `X-Transmission-Session-Id` header. Correct behavior is to drain and close the response body, cache the new session ID, and retry the same JSON request once.
