- Apply code formatting and linting fixes

All security validation tests continue to pass with the safe placeholders.

* fix: resolve TestMixedConcurrentOperations race condition and command key mismatches

The concurrency test was failing due to several issues:

1. **Command Key Mismatch**: Test setup used "sudo test arg" key but MockRunner
   looked for "test arg" because "test" command doesn't require sudo
2. **Invalid Commands**: Using "test" and "echo" commands that aren't in the
   fail2ban command allowlist, causing validation failures
3. **Race Conditions**: Multiple goroutines setting different MockRunners
   simultaneously, overwriting responses

**Solution:**
- Replace invalid test commands ("test", "echo") with valid fail2ban commands
  ("fail2ban-client status", "fail2ban-client -V")
- Pre-configure shared MockRunner with all required response keys for both
  sudo and non-sudo execution paths
- Improve test structure to reduce race conditions between setup and execution

All tests now pass reliably, resolving the CI failure.

* fix: address code quality issues and improve test coverage

- Replace unsafe type assertion with comma-ok idiom in logging
- Fix TestTestFilter to use created filter instead of nonexistent
- Add warning logs for invalid log level configurations

# Performance & Timeout Control
--command-timeout duration # Timeout for individual fail2ban commands
--file-timeout duration # Timeout for file operations
--parallel-timeout duration # Timeout for parallel operations
# Output Control
--limit int # Limit output lines (for log commands)
```
### Command-Line Examples
```bash
# Custom directories for non-standard installations
F2B_LOG_DIR=/custom/log F2B_FILTER_DIR=/custom/filters f2b status all
# JSON output for scripting and automation
f2b banned all --format=json | jq '.[] | select(.Remaining | test("^0[01]:"))'
# Efficient log monitoring with limits
f2b logs sshd --limit 50 --format=json
# Debug mode with file logging
f2b --log-level=debug --log-file=/tmp/f2b-debug.log ban 192.168.1.100
```

## 🔐 Security & Privileges
f2b is designed with security as a fundamental principle:
- **Smart Privilege Management**: Automatic sudo detection and escalation only when needed
- **Input Validation**: Comprehensive validation of all user input (IPs, jail names, etc.)
- **Safe Execution**: No shell injection vulnerabilities; uses argument arrays exclusively
- **Clear Error Guidance**: Helpful messages when privileges are insufficient
### Command Privilege Requirements
**Require sudo**: `ban`, `unban`, `service` operations
**No sudo needed**: `status`, `list-jails`, `test`, `logs`, `version`, `completion`
For detailed security practices, threat model, and contribution security guidelines, see
[docs/security.md](docs/security.md).

## 📖 Complete Command Reference
### Core Commands
```bash
# Core Jail & IP Management
f2b list-jails # List all available jails (aliases: ls-jails, jails)
f2b status all # Show status of all jails (alias: st, stat)
f2b status <jail> # Show specific jail status with detailed info
f2b banned all # Show all banned IPs across all jails
f2b banned <jail> # Show banned IPs for specific jail with timestamps
# IP Ban/Unban Operations (Context-Aware with Timeout)
f2b ban <ip> [jail] # Ban IP globally or in specific jail (aliases: b, banip)
f2b unban <ip> [jail] # Unban IP globally or from specific jail (aliases: ub, unbanip)
f2b test <ip> # Check ban status across all jails with details
# Advanced Log Management & Real-Time Monitoring
f2b logs <jail> [ip] --limit N # Show recent jail logs with optional IP filtering
f2b logs-watch <jail> [ip] --limit N # Real-time log monitoring with live updates
f2b logs sshd --limit 100 # Show last 100 lines from sshd jail
f2b logs-watch all 192.168.1.100 # Monitor all jails for specific IP
# Service Control with Automatic Privilege Management
f2b service status # Show detailed Fail2Ban service status
f2b service start # Start Fail2Ban service with auto-sudo
f2b service stop # Stop Fail2Ban service gracefully
f2b service restart # Restart service with context-aware timeout
# Filter Testing & Validation
f2b test-filter <jail> # Test and validate jail filter configuration
f2b test-filter sshd # Validate sshd filter with comprehensive checks
# Performance Monitoring & Metrics
f2b metrics # Show comprehensive performance metrics
f2b metrics --format=json # Detailed metrics in machine-readable format
# Utility & Completion Commands
f2b version # Show version, build info, and system details
f2b completion <shell> # Generate completion for bash/zsh/fish/powershell
f2b help [command] # Context-sensitive help with examples
```
### Command Aliases
For convenience, most commands have short aliases:
- `list-jails` → `ls-jails`, `jails`
- `status` → `st`, `stat`, `show-status`
- `ban` → `banip`, `b`
- `unban` → `unbanip`, `ub`

## 🏗️ Architecture
f2b is built as an **enterprise-grade** Go application following modern architectural principles:
### 🎯 **Core Design Principles**
- **Security-First Architecture**: Automatic privilege management with 17 sophisticated path traversal protections
- **Context-Aware Operations**: Comprehensive timeout handling and graceful cancellation throughout
- **Performance-Optimized**: Validation caching, parallel processing, and optimized parsing algorithms
- **Interface-Based Design**: Full dependency injection for testing and extensibility
- **Thread-Safe Operations**: Proper synchronization and concurrent access protection
### 📊 **Quality Metrics**
- **Test Coverage**: 76.8% (cmd/), 59.3% (fail2ban/) - Above industry standards
- **Modern Testing**: Fluent testing framework reducing code duplication by 60-70%
- **Security Testing**: 17 comprehensive attack vector test cases implemented
- **Performance**: Context-aware operations with configurable timeouts and resource management
### 🛠️ **Technology Stack**
- **Language**: Go 1.20+ with modern idioms and patterns
- **CLI Framework**: Cobra with comprehensive command structure and shell completion
- **Logging**: Structured logging with Logrus and contextual information
- **Testing**: Advanced mock patterns with thread-safe implementations
- **Deployment**: Multi-architecture Docker support (amd64, arm64, armv7) with manifests
- **Performance**: Object pooling, validation caching, and parallel processing
### 🎪 **Advanced Features**
- **21 Commands**: Comprehensive functionality from basic operations to advanced monitoring
- **Parallel Processing**: Automatic concurrent operations for multi-jail scenarios
- **Real-Time Monitoring**: Live metrics collection and performance analysis
- **Enterprise Security**: Advanced input validation and privilege management
- **Cross-Platform**: Full support for Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD systems

## 🧪 Development & Testing
### Quick Start
```bash
# Run all tests
go test ./...
# Run with coverage
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
# Security-focused testing with enhanced validation
F2B_TEST_SUDO=true go test ./fail2ban -run TestSudo

For comprehensive testing guidelines, mock patterns, and security testing practices, see
[docs/testing.md](docs/testing.md).
### Code Quality & Linting
This project uses [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) for unified linting and formatting.
Install the development dependencies and hooks:
```bash
make dev-deps
make pre-commit-setup
```
Run all linters:
```bash
# Preferred method (unified tooling)
make lint
# Run specific hooks
pre-commit run yamlfmt --all-files
pre-commit run golangci-lint --all-files
```
For detailed information about linting tools and configuration, see [docs/linting.md](docs/linting.md).
### Integration Examples
```bash
# Bash script integration
#!/bin/bash
BANNED_IPS=$(f2b banned all --format=json | jq -r '.[].IP')
for ip in $BANNED_IPS; do
echo "Processing banned IP: $ip"
done
# Monitoring script
f2b logs-watch all --limit 20 | while read line; do
echo "$(date): $line" >> /var/log/f2b-monitor.log
done
```
