feat: implement dynamic test generation and resolve pre-commit conflicts

- Replace static test fixture files with dynamic test generation
- Implement comprehensive test suite with unit, integration, and golden master tests
- Add vim API mocking for standalone Lua test execution
- Fix pre-commit hook interference by eliminating external fixture files
- Add StyLua formatting for consistent Lua code style
- Enhance ShellSpec formatting with improved HEREDOC and comment handling
- Update documentation with new test architecture details

This resolves issues where pre-commit hooks (shfmt, end-of-file-fixer) were
modifying test fixture files and breaking golden master tests. The new dynamic
approach generates test data programmatically, making tests immune to formatting
tools while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

+# Code Style and Conventions
+
+## EditorConfig Settings
+
+All files follow these rules from `.editorconfig`:
+
+- **Charset**: UTF-8
+- **Line endings**: LF (Unix-style)
+- **Indentation**: 2 spaces (no tabs)
+- **Max line length**: 160 characters
+- **Final newline**: Required
+- **Trim trailing whitespace**: Yes
+
+### Special Cases
+
+- **Markdown files**: Don't trim trailing whitespace (for hard line breaks)
+- **Makefiles**: Use tabs with width 4
+
+## Lua Code Conventions (New)
+
+### Module Structure
+
+```lua
+-- Module header with description
+local M = {}
+
+-- Import dependencies at top
+local config = require('shellspec.config')
+
+-- Private functions (local)
+local function private_helper() end
+
+-- Public functions (M.function_name)
+function M.public_function() end
+
+return M
+```
+
+### Function Names
+
+- Use `snake_case` for all functions
+- Private functions: `local function name()`
+- Public functions: `function M.name()` or `M.name = function()`
+- Descriptive names, avoid abbreviations
+
+### Variable Names
+
+- Local variables: `local variable_name`
+- Constants: `local CONSTANT_NAME` (uppercase)
+- Table keys: `snake_case`
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Use LuaDoc style comments for public functions
+- Include parameter and return type information
+
+```lua
+--- Format lines with ShellSpec DSL rules
+-- @param lines table: Array of strings to format
+-- @return table: Array of formatted strings
+function M.format_lines(lines) end
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Use `pcall()` for operations that might fail
+- Provide meaningful error messages
+- Use `vim.notify()` for user-facing messages
+
+## Vim Script Conventions (Enhanced)
+
+### Function Names
+
+- Use `snake_case#function_name()` format
+- Functions in autoload use namespace prefix: `shellspec#function_name()`
+- Guard clauses with `abort` keyword: `function! shellspec#format_buffer() abort`
+- Private functions: `s:function_name()`
+
+### Variable Names
+
+- Local variables: `l:variable_name`
+- Global variables: `g:variable_name`
+- Buffer-local: `b:variable_name`
+- Script-local: `s:variable_name`
+
+### State Management
+
+- Use descriptive state names: `'normal'`, `'heredoc'`
+- Document state transitions in comments
+- Initialize state variables clearly
+
+### Code Structure
+
+```vim
+" File header with description and author
+if exists('g:loaded_plugin')
+  finish
+endif
+let g:loaded_plugin = 1
+
+" Helper functions (private)
+function! s:private_function() abort
+endfunction
+
+" Public functions
+function! public#function() abort
+endfunction
+
+" Commands, autocommands at end
+```
+
+### Comments
+
+- Use `"` for comments
+- Include descriptive headers for functions
+- Comment complex logic blocks and state changes
+- Document HEREDOC patterns and detection logic
+
+## Shell Script Style (bin/shellspec-format)
+
+- Use `#!/bin/bash` shebang
+- Double quote variables: `"$variable"`
+- Use `[[ ]]` for conditionals instead of `[ ]`
+- Proper error handling with exit codes
+- Function names in `snake_case`
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+- **YAML**: 2-space indentation, 200 character line limit
+- **JSON**: Pretty formatted, no trailing commas
+- **Markdown**: 200 character line limit (relaxed from default 80)
+- **Lua**: Follow Neovim Lua style guide
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+- **Files**: lowercase with hyphens (`shellspec-format`)
+- **Directories**: lowercase (`autoload`, `syntax`, `ftdetect`)
+- **Lua modules**: lowercase with dots (`shellspec.format`)
+- **Functions**: namespace#function_name format (VimScript), snake_case (Lua)
+- **Variables**: descriptive names, avoid abbreviations
+
+## Architecture Patterns
+
+### Dual Implementation Pattern
+
+```vim
+" Detect environment and choose implementation
+if has('nvim-0.7')
+  " Use Lua implementation
+  lua require('module').function()
+else
+  " Fall back to VimScript
+  call legacy#function()
+endif
+```
+
+### State Machine Pattern (Both Lua and VimScript)
+
+```lua
+-- Lua version
+local state = State.NORMAL
+if state == State.NORMAL then
+  -- handle normal formatting
+elseif state == State.IN_HEREDOC then
+  -- preserve heredoc content
+end
+```
+
+```vim
+" VimScript version
+let l:state = 'normal'
+if l:state ==# 'normal'
+  " handle normal formatting
+elseif l:state ==# 'heredoc'
+  " preserve heredoc content
+endif
+```
+
+### Configuration Pattern
+
+```lua
+-- Lua: Use vim.tbl_deep_extend for merging
+local config = vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", defaults, user_opts)
+```
+
+```vim
+" VimScript: Use get() with defaults
+let l:option = get(g:, 'plugin_option', default_value)
+```
+
+## Testing Conventions
+
+- Create test files with `.spec.sh` extension
+- Test both Lua and VimScript implementations
+- Include HEREDOC and comment test cases
+- Use descriptive test names matching actual ShellSpec patterns
+
+## Documentation Standards
+
+- Update README.md with new features
+- Include both Lua and VimScript configuration examples
+- Provide clear examples of HEREDOC and comment behavior
+- Document breaking changes and migration paths

+# Development Commands for nvim-shellspec
+
+## Quality Assurance & Linting Commands
+
+### Primary Linting Command
+
+```bash
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+This runs all configured linters and formatters including:
+
+- ShellCheck for shell scripts
+- shfmt for shell script formatting
+- yamllint for YAML files
+- markdownlint for Markdown files
+- Various pre-commit hooks
+
+### Individual Linters
+
+```bash
+# YAML linting
+yamllint .
+
+# Markdown linting (via npx)
+npx markdownlint-cli -c .markdownlint.json --fix README.md
+
+# Shell script linting
+shellcheck bin/shellspec-format
+
+# Shell script formatting
+shfmt -w bin/shellspec-format
+
+# Lua linting (if available)
+luacheck lua/shellspec/
+```
+
+## Code Formatting
+
+### ShellSpec DSL Formatting
+
+```bash
+# Using standalone formatter
+./bin/shellspec-format file.spec.sh
+
+# Or in Neovim/Vim
+:ShellSpecFormat
+:ShellSpecFormatRange (for selected lines)
+```
+
+### Testing New Lua Implementation (Neovim)
+
+```lua
+-- Test in Neovim command line
+:lua require('shellspec').setup({ auto_format = true })
+:lua require('shellspec').format_buffer()
+
+-- Health check
+:checkhealth shellspec
+```
+
+## Development Testing
+
+### Manual Plugin Testing
+
+```bash
+# Create test file
+touch test_example.spec.sh
+
+# Test in Neovim
+nvim test_example.spec.sh
+# Verify filetype: :set filetype?
+# Test formatting: :ShellSpecFormat
+# Test health check: :checkhealth shellspec
+```
+
+### HEREDOC and Comment Testing
+
+Create test content with:
+
+```shellspec
+Describe "test"
+  # Comment that should be indented
+  It "should preserve HEREDOC"
+    cat <<EOF
+      This should not be reformatted
+        Even with nested indentation
+EOF
+  End
+End
+```
+
+## Git Integration
+
+```bash
+# Pre-commit hooks are automatically installed
+pre-commit install
+
+# Run pre-commit on all files
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+## Neovim-Specific Development
+
+### Lua Module Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test individual modules in Neovim
+:lua print(vim.inspect(require('shellspec.config').defaults))
+:lua require('shellspec.format').format_buffer()
+:lua require('shellspec.autocmds').setup()
+```
+
+### Health Diagnostics
+
+```bash
+# Comprehensive health check
+:checkhealth shellspec
+
+# Check if modules load correctly
+:lua require('shellspec.health').check()
+```
+
+## File System Utilities (macOS/Darwin)
+
+```bash
+# File operations
+ls -la          # List files with details
+find . -name    # Find files by pattern
+grep -r         # Search in files (or use rg for ripgrep)
+
+# Better alternatives available on system:
+rg              # ripgrep for faster searching
+fd              # faster find alternative
+
+# Find all ShellSpec files in project
+fd -e spec.sh
+fd "_spec.sh$"
+rg -t sh "Describe|Context|It" spec/
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Standard Development
+
+1. Make changes to Vim script or Lua files
+2. Test with sample ShellSpec files (`test_example.spec.sh`)
+3. Run `pre-commit run --all-files` before committing
+4. Fix any linting issues
+5. Test in both Neovim (Lua path) and Vim (VimScript path)
+6. Commit changes
+
+### Feature Development
+
+1. Update Lua implementation in `lua/shellspec/`
+2. Update VimScript compatibility in `autoload/shellspec.vim`
+3. Test dual implementation paths
+4. Update health checks if needed
+5. Update documentation
+
+### Configuration Testing
+
+```lua
+-- Test different configurations
+require('shellspec').setup({
+  auto_format = true,
+  indent_size = 4,
+  indent_comments = false,
+  heredoc_patterns = {"<<[A-Z_]+", "<<'[^']*'"}
+})
+```
+
+## Performance Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test with large ShellSpec files
+time nvim +':ShellSpecFormat' +':wq' large_spec_file.spec.sh
+
+# Compare Lua vs VimScript performance
+# (Use older Neovim version to force VimScript path)
+```
+
+## Plugin Integration Testing
+
+```lua
+-- Test with lazy.nvim
+{
+  dir = "/path/to/local/nvim-shellspec",
+  config = function()
+    require("shellspec").setup({ auto_format = true })
+  end
+}
+```
+
+## Memory and State Debugging
+
+```lua
+-- Debug configuration state
+:lua print(vim.inspect(require('shellspec.config').config))
+
+-- Debug formatting state
+:lua require('shellspec.format').format_lines({"Describe 'test'", "  It 'works'", "  End", "End"})
+```

+# Task Completion Checklist
+
+When completing any development task in the nvim-shellspec project, follow this checklist:
+
+## 1. Code Quality Checks (MANDATORY)
+
+```bash
+# Run all pre-commit hooks
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+This runs:
+
+- **ShellCheck** - Shell script linting and static analysis
+- **shfmt** - Shell script formatting
+- **yamllint** - YAML file validation
+- **markdownlint** - Markdown linting and formatting
+- **Various pre-commit hooks** - Trailing whitespace, end-of-file, etc.
+
+## 2. EditorConfig Compliance (BLOCKING)
+
+- All files must follow `.editorconfig` rules
+- 2-space indentation, LF line endings, UTF-8 encoding
+- 160 character line limit
+- Trim trailing whitespace (except Markdown)
+- End files with newline
+
+## 3. Dual Implementation Testing (NEW - CRITICAL)
+
+### 3a. Neovim Lua Implementation Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test in Neovim 0.7+
+nvim test_example.spec.sh
+
+# Verify Lua path is used
+:lua print("Using Lua implementation")
+:checkhealth shellspec
+
+# Test formatting with HEREDOC
+:ShellSpecFormat
+
+# Test configuration
+:lua require('shellspec').setup({auto_format = true})
+```
+
+### 3b. VimScript Fallback Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test in older Neovim or Vim
+vim test_example.spec.sh  # or nvim --clean with older version
+
+# Verify VimScript path is used
+:echo "Using VimScript implementation"
+
+# Test same formatting features work
+:ShellSpecFormat
+```
+
+## 4. Advanced Formatting Feature Testing
+
+### 4a. HEREDOC Preservation Testing
+
+Create test content:
+
+```shellspec
+Describe "HEREDOC test"
+  It "preserves formatting"
+    cat <<EOF
+      This should stay as-is
+        Even with nested indentation
+    Back to normal
+EOF
+  End
+End
+```
+
+Apply `:ShellSpecFormat` and verify HEREDOC content is unchanged.
+
+### 4b. Comment Indentation Testing  
+
+Create test content:
+
+```shellspec
+Describe "Comment test"
+# Top level comment
+  It "handles comments"
+  # This should be indented to It level
+    When call echo "test"
+    # This should be indented to When level
+  End
+# Back to top level
+End
+```
+
+Apply `:ShellSpecFormat` and verify comments align with code levels.
+
+## 5. Configuration Testing
+
+### 5a. Lua Configuration (Neovim)
+
+```lua
+-- Test different configurations
+require('shellspec').setup({
+  auto_format = true,
+  indent_size = 4,
+  indent_comments = false,
+})
+```
+
+### 5b. VimScript Configuration (Vim/Legacy)
+
+```vim
+let g:shellspec_auto_format = 1
+let g:shellspec_indent_comments = 0
+```
+
+## 6. Plugin-Specific Testing
+
+### Manual Testing Steps
+
+1. **Create test ShellSpec file**:
+
+   ```bash
+   cp test_example.spec.sh my_test.spec.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Test filetype detection**:
+
+   ```vim
+   # In Neovim/Vim, open the file and verify:
+   :set filetype?  # Should show "filetype=shellspec"
+   ```
+
+3. **Test syntax highlighting**:
+   - Add ShellSpec DSL content and verify highlighting
+   - Test with HEREDOC blocks
+   - Test with various comment styles
+
+4. **Test formatting commands**:
+
+   ```vim
+   :ShellSpecFormat
+   :ShellSpecFormatRange (in visual mode)
+   ```
+
+5. **Test auto-format on save** (if enabled):
+   - Make changes and save file
+   - Verify automatic formatting occurs
+
+6. **Test health check** (Neovim only):
+
+   ```vim
+   :checkhealth shellspec
+   ```
+
+## 7. Standalone Formatter Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test the standalone formatter
+echo 'Describe "test"
+# Comment
+It "works"
+cat <<EOF
+  preserved
+EOF
+When call echo
+The output should equal
+End
+End' | ./bin/shellspec-format
+```
+
+## 8. Performance Testing (NEW)
+
+```bash
+# Test with larger files
+time nvim +':ShellSpecFormat' +':wq' large_spec_file.spec.sh
+
+# Compare implementations if possible
+```
+
+## 9. Module Integration Testing (Neovim)
+
+```lua
+-- Test module loading
+:lua local ok, mod = pcall(require, 'shellspec'); print(ok)
+:lua print(vim.inspect(require('shellspec.config').defaults))
+:lua require('shellspec.format').format_lines({"test"})
+```
+
+## 10. Git Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Stage changes
+git add .
+
+# Commit (pre-commit hooks run automatically)
+git commit -m "descriptive commit message"
+
+# Ensure both implementations are included in commit
+git log --name-status -1
+```
+
+## 11. Documentation Updates
+
+- Update README.md if adding new features
+- Include both Lua and VimScript examples
+- Document any breaking changes
+- Update health check descriptions if modified
+- Ensure all configuration examples are correct
+
+## Error Resolution Priority
+
+1. **EditorConfig violations** - Fix immediately (blocking)
+2. **Dual implementation failures** - Both Lua and VimScript must work
+3. **HEREDOC/Comment formatting issues** - Core feature failures
+4. **ShellCheck errors** - Fix all warnings and errors

 ## Features
 
-- **Syntax highlighting** for all ShellSpec DSL keywords
+- **🚀 First-class Neovim support** with modern Lua implementation
-- **Automatic indentation** for block structures
+- **🎨 Syntax highlighting** for all ShellSpec DSL keywords
-- **Filetype detection** for `*_spec.sh`, `*.spec.sh`, and `spec/*.sh`
+- **📐 Smart indentation** for block structures
-- **Formatting commands** with proper indentation
+- **📄 Enhanced filetype detection** for `*_spec.sh`, `*.spec.sh`, `spec/*.sh`, and `test/*.sh`
+- **✨ Advanced formatting** with HEREDOC and comment support
+- **⚡ Async formatting** to prevent blocking (Neovim 0.7+)
+- **🔄 Backward compatibility** with Vim and older Neovim versions
+
+### Advanced Formatting Features
+
+- **HEREDOC Preservation**: Maintains original formatting within `<<EOF`, `<<'EOF'`, `<<"EOF"`, and `<<-EOF` blocks
+- **Smart Comment Indentation**: Comments are indented to match surrounding code level
+- **Context-Aware Formatting**: State machine tracks formatting context for accurate indentation

 ## Configuration
 
+### Neovim (Lua Configuration) - Recommended
+
+```lua
+require("shellspec").setup({
+  -- Auto-format on save
+  auto_format = true,
+
+  -- Indentation settings
+  indent_size = 2,
+  use_spaces = true,
+
+  -- Comment indentation (align with code level)
+  indent_comments = true,
+
+  -- HEREDOC patterns (customizable)
+  heredoc_patterns = {
+    "<<[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*",  -- <<EOF, <<DATA, etc.
+    "<<'[^']*'",           -- <<'EOF'
+    '<<"[^"]*"',           -- <<"EOF"  
+    "<<-[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*", -- <<-EOF
+  },
+
+  -- Other options
+  preserve_empty_lines = true,
+  max_line_length = 160,
+})
+
+-- Custom keybindings
+vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>sf', '<cmd>ShellSpecFormat<cr>', { desc = 'Format ShellSpec buffer' })
+vim.keymap.set('v', '<leader>sf', '<cmd>ShellSpecFormatRange<cr>', { desc = 'Format ShellSpec selection' })
+```
+
+### Vim/Legacy Configuration
+
 ```vim
 " Enable auto-formatting on save
 let g:shellspec_auto_format = 1
 
+" Enable comment indentation (default: 1)
+let g:shellspec_indent_comments = 1
+
 " Custom keybindings
 autocmd FileType shellspec nnoremap <buffer> <leader>f :ShellSpecFormat<CR>
 autocmd FileType shellspec vnoremap <buffer> <leader>f :ShellSpecFormatRange<CR>
 ```
 
+## Examples
+
+### HEREDOC Formatting
+
+The formatter intelligently handles HEREDOC blocks:
+
+```shellspec
+Describe "HEREDOC handling"
+  It "preserves original formatting within HEREDOC"
+    When call cat <<EOF
+      This indentation is preserved
+        Even nested indentation
+    And this too
+EOF
+    The output should equal expected
+  End
+End
+```
+
+### Comment Indentation
+
+Comments are properly aligned with surrounding code:
+
+```shellspec
+Describe "Comment handling"
+  # This comment is indented to match the block level
+  It "should handle comments correctly"
+    # This comment matches the It block indentation
+    When call echo "test"
+    The output should equal "test"
+  End
+  # Back to Describe level indentation
+End
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+This plugin includes comprehensive tests to ensure formatting quality and reliability.
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all test suites
+./tests/run_tests.sh
+
+# Run individual test suites
+lua tests/format_spec.lua          # Unit tests
+./tests/integration_test.sh        # Integration tests  
+./tests/golden_master_test.sh      # Golden master tests
+```
+
+### Test Suites
+
+- **Unit Tests** (`tests/format_spec.lua`): Test core formatting functions with Lua - includes vim API mocking for standalone execution
+- **Integration Tests** (`tests/integration_test.sh`): Test plugin loading, command registration, and end-to-end functionality in Neovim
+- **Golden Master Tests** (`tests/golden_master_test.sh`): Compare actual formatting output against expected results using dynamic test generation
+
+### Test Architecture
+
+The test suite uses **dynamic test generation** to avoid pre-commit hook interference:
+
+- **No external fixture files**: Test data is defined programmatically within the test scripts
+- **Pre-commit safe**: No `.spec.sh` fixture files that can be modified by formatters
+- **Maintainable**: Test cases are co-located with test logic for easy updates
+- **Comprehensive coverage**: Tests basic indentation, comment handling, HEREDOC preservation, and nested contexts
+
+### Test Development
+
+When adding features or fixing bugs:
+
+1. Add unit tests for new formatting logic in `tests/format_spec.lua`
+2. Add integration tests for new commands/features in `tests/integration_test.sh`
+3. Add golden master test cases in the `TEST_CASES` array in `tests/golden_master_test.sh`
+4. Run `./tests/run_tests.sh` to verify all tests pass
+
+Example of adding a golden master test case:
+
+```bash
+"test_name|input_content|expected_content"
+```
