* Add `force_update` to `RepoContext` and propagate it through install/update flows
* Add `pkgmgr install --update` to force re-running installers even if the same CLI layer is already loaded
* Enhance `NixFlakeInstaller` to ensure correct outputs (pkgmgr + optional default for package-manager) and support refresh/upgrade with index-based fallback remove+reinstall
* Make Python/Makefile installers emit an “upgraded” marker when `force_update` is used
* Add E2E tests for “three times install” scenarios (makefile, nix, venv) with shared run helper
* Fix git safe.directory wildcard quoting in E2E shell runner and minor cleanup/reordering of imports/comments

Switch run_command to a single-run execution model that streams stdout/stderr
live while capturing both streams in memory using selectors. This guarantees
that command errors (e.g. make install, pip, nix) always show full diagnostics
without re-running commands or risking deadlocks.
Add unit tests for preview mode, success execution, failure handling, and
allow_failure behavior.

* Remove legacy *main.py* and introduce *pkgmgr* module entry via *python -m pkgmgr*
* Add ***main**.py* as the canonical entry point delegating to the CLI
* Export *PYTHONPATH=src* in Makefile to ensure reliable imports in dev and CI
* Update setup scripts (venv & nix) to use module execution
* Refactor all E2E tests to execute the real module entry instead of file paths
This aligns pkgmgr with standard Python packaging practices and simplifies testing, setup, and execution across environments.

* Treat remote tags as the source of truth by force-fetching tags from *origin*
* Update preview output to reflect the real fetch behavior
* Align unit tests with the new forced tag fetch command
https://chatgpt.com/share/693bdfc3-b8b4-800f-8adc-b1dc63c56a89
* Add debug output for latest vs current version tag in release git ops
* Treat “no version tags yet” as highest by definition
* Align unit tests with current *string-based* `tag >= latest` behavior
* Make tag listing mocks less brittle by matching command patterns
* Rename release init test to `test_init.py` for consistent discovery
Refactor the release implementation into a dedicated workflow module with clear separation of concerns. Enforce a safe, deterministic Git flow by always syncing with the remote before modifications, pushing only the current branch and the newly created version tag, and updating the floating *latest* tag only when the released version is the highest. Add explicit user prompts for confirmation and optional branch deletion, with a forced mode to skip interaction. Update CLI wiring to pass all relevant flags, add comprehensive unit tests for the new helpers and workflow entry points, and introduce detailed documentation describing the release process, safety rules, and execution flow.
The old test tests/unit/pkgmgr/actions/test_branch.py has been removed because:
- it targeted the previous monolithic pkgmgr.actions.branch module structure
- its patch targets no longer match the refactored code
- its responsibilities are now fully covered by the new, dedicated unit,
integration, and E2E tests for branch actions and CLI wiring
This avoids redundant coverage and prevents misleading or broken tests
after the branch refactor.

Expanded and modernized the README to reflect PKGMGR's purpose as a
multi-distro development and packaging orchestrator. Added explanations for
Nix-based cross-distro workflows, clarified installation steps, documented the
full CLI capabilities, and embedded the architecture diagram.
Also replaced the verbose CLI DESCRIPTION_TEXT with a concise summary suitable
for `--help` output.
Included updated `assets/map.png`.

This commit removes the `run_command`-based execution model for Nix flake
installations and replaces it with a direct `os.system` invocation.
This ensures that *all* Nix diagnostics (stdout/stderr) are fully visible and
no longer suppressed by wrapper logic.
Key changes:
* Directly run `nix profile install` via `os.system` for full error output
* Correctly decode real exit codes via `os.WIFEXITED` / `os.WEXITSTATUS`
* Preserve mandatory/optional behavior for flake outputs
* Update unit tests to the new execution model using `unittest`
* Add complete coverage for:
* successful installs
* mandatory failures → raise SystemExit(code)
* optional failures → warn and continue
* environment-based disabling via `PKGMGR_DISABLE_NIX_FLAKE_INSTALLER`
* Remove obsolete mocks and legacy test logic that assumed `run_command`
Overall, this improves transparency, debuggability, and correctness of the
Nix flake installer while maintaining full backward compatibility at the
interface level.

- Implement new mirror actions:
- list_mirrors: show mirrors from config, MIRRORS file, or merged view
- diff_mirrors: compare config mirrors with MIRRORS file (ONLY IN CONFIG,
ONLY IN FILE, URL MISMATCH, OK)
- merge_mirrors: merge mirrors between config and MIRRORS file in both
directions, with preview mode and user config writing via save_user_config
- setup_mirrors: prepare local Git remotes (ensure origin) and print
provider-URL suggestions for remote repositories
- Introduce mirror utilities:
- RepoMirrorContext with resolved_mirrors (config + file, file wins)
- load_config_mirrors supporting dict and list-of-dicts shapes
- read/write MIRRORS file with simple "name url" format and preview mode
- helper for building default SSH URLs from provider/account/repository
- Wire mirror commands into CLI:
- Add handle_mirror_command and integrate "mirror" into dispatch
- Add dedicated CLI parser modules under pkgmgr.cli.parser:
* common, install_update, config_cmd, navigation_cmd,
branch_cmd, release_cmd, version_cmd, changelog_cmd,
list_cmd, make_cmd, mirror_cmd
- Replace old flat cli/parser.py with modular parser package and
SortedSubParsersAction in common.py
- Update TODO.md to mark MIRROR as implemented
- Add E2E tests for mirror commands:
- test_mirror_help
- test_mirror_list_preview_all
- test_mirror_diff_preview_all
- test_mirror_merge_config_to_file_preview_all
- test_mirror_setup_preview_all

- Move Arch/Debian/Fedora packaging files under packaging/* and update build scripts
- Adjust .gitignore/.dockerignore for new packaging paths and src/source/
