### Added

**Documentation**

- **Standalone troff manpage** — `man/goget.1` is now the single source
  of truth for the goget(1) manual. The previous embedded manpage listed
  only ~30 of the 138 CLI flags and was missing every standard section;
  the new file documents every flag with a dedicated entry, the
  full set of conventional `.SH` sections (NAME, SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION,
  OPTIONS, EXAMPLES, EXIT STATUS, FILES, ENVIRONMENT, SEE ALSO, HISTORY,
  AUTHORS, REPORTING BUGS, COPYRIGHT), curl/wget compatibility notes, and
  a release-history entry. The manpage is embedded into the binary via
  `//go:embed`, so `--generate-man-page` and `man goget` now agree.
- **`just man`** — new task that runs `groff -man -ww -Kutf-8 -z` over
  `man/goget.1` to validate the troff source. Skips cleanly when `groff`
  is not installed (CI on minimal images still passes).
- **`just install-man`** and **`just uninstall-man`** — install the
  manpage to `$HOME/.local/share/man/man1/goget.1.gz` (XDG rootless,
  gzipped, reinstall-safe). After `just install-man`, `man goget`
  resolves the page automatically via the user's `MANPATH`.

**Core engine**

- **Unified worker pool** — single protocol-agnostic worker pool (`internal/pool`)
  used by FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV recursive-parallel downloads. Replaces three
  near-identical semaphore+WaitGroup implementations with a shared, tested
  concurrency primitive.
- **Graceful shutdown on SIGINT** — persist `.goget.meta` sidecar on interrupt
  for SFTP single-file downloads, ensuring progress is saved for resume.
- **Gemini resume & metadata** — Gemini downloads now persist `.goget.meta`
  sidecar on interrupt and delete it on successful completion. `--resume`
  continues interrupted Gemini transfers from the saved byte offset.
- **Gopher resume & metadata** — Gopher `typeHTML` and `typeTextFile`
  responses now persist `.goget.meta` sidecar on interrupt and delete it on
  successful completion. `--resume` continues interrupted Gopher text
  transfers, skipping already-written output bytes (post-transform length
  because Gopher line metadata is stripped before writing).

**Security**

- **Certificate pinning across all TLS protocols** — `--pinned-cert` now
  applies to FTPS, Gemini, and WebDAVS in addition to HTTP/HTTPS. The leaf
  certificate SHA-256 hash is verified via `tls.Config.VerifyPeerCertificate`
  on every TLS-bearing protocol.
- **SSH host-key pinning for SFTP** — new `--pinned-host-key` flag pins the
  SSH host key by its OpenSSH fingerprint (`SHA256:<base64>`, as produced by
  `ssh-keygen -lf`). Raw lowercase-hex SHA-256 of the key wire format is also
  accepted. Pinning takes precedence over `--ssh-insecure` and `known_hosts`.
- **WebDAV TLS config fix** — `webdav.Protocol.getHTTPTransport` now builds
  its `tls.Config` from the caller-provided `transport.TLSConfig` instead of
  a fresh config that silently dropped CA certs, mTLS, keylog, and pinned-cert
  settings.

**Recursive downloading & mirroring**

- `--adjust-extension` extended to non-HTTP protocols — applies `.html`
  extension to `text/html` files downloaded via Gopher and WebDAV.
- `--backup-converted` — keep `.orig` backups of files before link conversion
  during recursive mirroring. Previously only available for HTTP/HTTPS;
  now works for WebDAV mirrors too.

**Download management**

- `--show-metadata` — displays `.goget.meta` sidecar contents for debugging
  interrupted / resumed downloads. Accepts a path to the downloaded output
  (the sidecar is located next to it) or a direct path to the sidecar file.
  Renders a human-readable summary by default and switches to raw JSON
  output when combined with `--json`. Credentials embedded in the stored
  URL are masked before display (the password placeholder is `xxxxx`).

### Testing

- `cmd/goget/man_page_test.go` — new test file. Asserts the embedded
  manpage is non-empty, carries a `.TH GOGET 1` header, contains every
  mandatory `.SH` section, and documents every flag registered by
  `defineFlags` (so adding a new flag without documenting it now breaks
  the build). When `groff` is installed, also runs `groff -man -ww
  -Kutf-8 -z` over the embedded source and fails on any warning.

## [1.0.0] — 2026-06-26

First public release: a modern IPv6-first command-line download utility built on
the Go standard library. goget provides parallel chunked downloads, resume
support, checksum verification, recursive website mirroring, and support for 9
network protocols — all in a single static binary with zero runtime dependencies.

### Added

**Core engine**

- Unified download and upload architecture via `core.Protocol` interface.
- Protocol registry with scheme normalization (https→http, ftps→ftp).
- Structured error types (`NETWORK`, `PROTOCOL`, `FILE`, `TIMEOUT`, `AUTH`,
  `CHECKSUM`, `UNSUPPORTED`, `CANCELLED`).
- Request context with protocol chain tracking, attempt counting, and
  cancellation.
- Smart timeout calculation based on file size, minimum speed, and safety factor.
- IPv6-first transport dialer with automatic IPv4 fallback.

**Protocols**

- **HTTP/HTTPS** — HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2, TLS 1.2/1.3, content negotiation,
  auto-decompression.
- **FTP/FTPS** — active and passive modes, explicit TLS (AUTH TLS), resume via
  REST command.
- **SFTP** — custom SFTP v3 implementation over SSH, `known_hosts` verification,
  resume, private key and password authentication.
- **WebDAV** — file download, recursive directory download, upload via HTTP PUT,
  MKCOL for directory creation.
- **file://** — local file copy with recursive directory support.
- **data:** — RFC 2397 data URIs (base64 and plain text).
- **Gopher** — RFC 1436 with item type parsing.
- **Gemini** — TLS 1.2+ connections, redirect following, status code handling
  (1x–6x).

**Network & transport**

  override with `--allow-private`.
- IPv4-mapped IPv6 normalization to prevent SSRF bypass.
- Token bucket rate limiting.
- Exponential backoff retry logic with configurable max retries.
- `--retry-all-errors` to retry on HTTP 4xx/5xx responses.

- OAuth 2.0 — client credentials, authorization code, password, and refresh
  token grant types with 30-second expiry grace period.
- OAuth error sanitization (RFC 6749 §5.2).
- `.netrc` auto-reading with machine and default entry resolution.
- Netscape-format cookie jar with import/export.
- Per-request cookies via `--cookie` CLI flag.
