+# 🛠️ DX
+
+`dx` is a framework-agnostic bash CLI that orchestrates the full development lifecycle for PHP projects — Docker, Apache, Traefik, environment config, migrations, and tests — across multiple frameworks (Yii2, Laravel).
+
+The `dx` script at the project root is the entrypoint. It loads `dxkit/bootstrap.sh` and dispatches to the command and module system inside `dxkit/`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Bash (Linux/macOS native; Windows via Git Bash or WSL)
+- Docker + Docker Compose
+- `dx` must be executable: `chmod +x dx`
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+./dx setup              # first time: build image + init environment
+./dx up                 # start the stack
+./dx shell              # enter the app container
+./dx console migrate    # run database migrations
+```
+
+## Command reference
+

+|---|---|
+| `--framework=NAME` | Override auto-detected framework |
+| `--debug` | Enable shell trace output (`set -x`) |
+
+---
+
+## Environments
+
+Three built-in environments:
+
+| Name | Use |
+|---|---|
+| `dev` | Development (default)
+| `qly` | Quality |
+| `prd` | Production |
+
+Environment variables are layered in order:
+
+1. `dxkit/env/globals.env` — shared defaults, source-controlled
+2. `.project/artifacts/env/${ENVIRONMENT}.env` — local overrides, gitignored
+3. `.project/artifacts/env/${ENVIRONMENT}.resolved.env` — generated resolved values, gitignored
+
+Resolved port assignments are written to `.project/artifacts/ports` and loaded back on subsequent runs.
+
+Port values in env files may use the `auto:PORT` syntax — dxkit will find the next available port starting from that number.
+
+---
+
+## Framework support
+
+Framework detection reads `composer.json` at project root.
+
+| Framework | Detected by | Console binary | `dx console` alias |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Yii2 Advanced | `yiisoft/yii2` + advanced template structure | `yii` | `dx yii` |
+| Yii2 Basic | `yiisoft/yii2` + basic template structure | `yii` | `dx yii` |
+| Laravel | `laravel/framework` | `artisan` | `dx artisan` |
+
+Use `--framework=NAME` to override detection (e.g. `--framework=yii2-advanced`).
+
+---

+
+### How command dispatch works
+
+1. `dx <command> [args]` calls `dx::dispatch()`
+2. Aliases in `dx` are resolved first (e.g. `sh` → `runtime/shell`, `ls` → `runtime/list`)
+3. Built-ins (`help`, `elevate`) are handled inline
+4. Driver commands registered in `DRIVER_COMMANDS` (via `dxkit/drivers/dispatcher.sh`) are checked next
+5. Remaining commands are matched to files in `dxkit/commands/` and loaded dynamically
+
+### Adding a new command
+
+1. Create `dxkit/commands/<name>.command.sh` with a function `command::<name>()`
+2. Optionally register an alias in `dx` under the alias map
+3. For framework-specific commands, register the command name in the driver file (`dxkit/drivers/<framework>/driver.sh`)
