+mix docs
+open doc/index.html  # or xdg-open on Linux
+```
+
+### Code Quality
+
+While not mandatory, we encourage running additional quality checks:
+
+```bash
+# Static analysis (if using Dialyzer)
+mix dialyzer
+
+# Linting (if using Credo)
+mix credo --strict
+```
+
+## Code Style Guidelines
+
+### General Principles
+
+- Follow the [Elixir Style Guide](https://github.com/christopheradams/elixir_style_guide)
+- Write clear, self-documenting code
+- Keep functions small and focused
+- Use pattern matching effectively
+- Prefer functional patterns over imperative
+
+### Specific Guidelines
+
+1. **Documentation**
+   - Add `@moduledoc` to all modules
+   - Add `@doc` to all public functions
+   - Include examples in documentation
+   - Add `@spec` type specifications
+
+2. **Testing**
+   - Write tests for all new functionality
+   - Maintain or improve test coverage
+   - Use descriptive test names
+   - Group related tests with `describe` blocks
+
+3. **Error Handling**
+   - Use tagged tuples (`{:ok, result}`, `{:error, reason}`)
+   - Provide clear error messages
+   - Handle edge cases explicitly
+
+4. **Naming Conventions**
+   - Use descriptive variable names
+   - Follow Elixir naming conventions
+   - Use `snake_case` for functions and variables
+   - Use `PascalCase` for modules
+
+5. **Module Organization**
+   ```elixir
+   defmodule MyModule do
+     @moduledoc """
+     Module documentation
+     """
+
+     # Module attributes
+     @constant_value "value"
+
+     # Type definitions
+     @type t :: %__MODULE__{}
+
+     # Struct definition
+     defstruct [:field1, :field2]
+
+     # Public functions
+     def public_function do
+       # ...
+     end
+
+     # Private functions
+     defp private_function do
+       # ...
+     end
+   end
+   ```
+
+## Commit Message Guidelines
+
+### Format
+
+```
+<type>(<scope>): <subject>
+
+<body>
+
+<footer>
+```
+
+### Types
+
+- **feat**: A new feature
+- **fix**: A bug fix
+- **docs**: Documentation only changes
+- **style**: Changes that don't affect code meaning (formatting, etc.)
+- **refactor**: Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- **perf**: Performance improvement
+- **test**: Adding or updating tests
+- **chore**: Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
+
+### Examples
+
+```
+feat(formatter): add milliseconds-only display format
+
+Add a new format option to display only milliseconds without
+seconds/minutes/hours for very short durations.
+
+Closes #123
+```
+
+```
+fix(stopwatch): correct pause time calculation
+
+The pause duration was not being properly accumulated when
+pausing multiple times. Fixed by tracking total_paused time.
+
+Fixes #456
+```
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+### What to Test
+
+- All public API functions
+- Edge cases and error conditions
+- State transitions
+- Integration between modules
+
+### Test Structure
+
+```elixir
+defmodule MyModuleTest do
+  use ExUnit.Case
+  doctest MyModule
+
+  describe "function_name/arity" do
+    test "describes what it tests" do
+      # Arrange
+      input = create_input()
+
+      # Act
+      result = MyModule.function_name(input)
+
+      # Assert
+      assert result == expected
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Best Practices
+
+- One logical assertion per test
+- Use descriptive test names
+- Keep tests independent
+- Don't test implementation details
+- Use fixtures for complex test data
+
+## Documentation Guidelines
+
+### Module Documentation
+
+```elixir
+@moduledoc """
+Brief description of the module.
+
+Longer description with more details about what the module does,
+how it's used, and any important concepts.
+
+## Examples
+
+    iex> MyModule.function()
+    :result
+"""
+```
+
+### Function Documentation
+
+```elixir
+@doc """
+Brief description of what the function does.
+
+Returns detailed information about return values.
+
+## Parameters
+
+  - `param1` - Description of first parameter
+  - `param2` - Description of second parameter
+
+## Examples
+
+    iex> MyModule.function(arg1, arg2)
+    {:ok, result}
+
+## Options
+
+  - `:option1` - Description (default: `value`)
+  - `:option2` - Description
+"""
+@spec function(arg1_type, arg2_type) :: return_type
+def function(param1, param2) do
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+## Release Process

+```
+
+### Using as a Library
+
+You can also use the Stopwatch module programmatically in your Elixir projects:
+
+```elixir
+# Create a new stopwatch
+stopwatch = Stopwatch.new()
+
+# Start timing
+{:ok, stopwatch} = Stopwatch.start(stopwatch)
+
+# Record a lap
+{:ok, stopwatch, lap_time} = Stopwatch.lap(stopwatch)
+
+# Pause the stopwatch
+{:ok, stopwatch} = Stopwatch.pause(stopwatch)
+
+# Resume timing
+{:ok, stopwatch} = Stopwatch.resume(stopwatch)
+
+# Get elapsed time
+elapsed = Stopwatch.elapsed(stopwatch)
+
+# Stop the stopwatch
+{:ok, stopwatch, total_time} = Stopwatch.stop(stopwatch)
+
+# Format time for display
+Stopwatch.Formatter.format(elapsed, :long)
+# => "00:01:23.456"
+```
+
+## Time Formatting
+
+The `Stopwatch.Formatter` module provides several formatting options:
+
+### Short Format (default)
+```elixir
+Stopwatch.Formatter.format(125432, :short)
+# => "02:05.432"
+```
+
+### Long Format
+```elixir
+Stopwatch.Formatter.format(125432, :long)
+# => "00:02:05.432"
+```
+
+### Compact Format
+```elixir
+Stopwatch.Formatter.format(125432, :compact)
+# => "2m 5.432s"
+```
+
+### Verbose Format
+```elixir
+Stopwatch.Formatter.format(125432, :verbose)
+# => "432 milliseconds, 5 seconds, 2 minutes"
+```
+
+## Architecture

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] feat: add comprehensive enhancements - export, CI/CD,
 Docker, and more

This commit adds extensive enhancements to make the Elixir Stopwatch
a production-ready, professional-grade application with enterprise
features and developer tooling.

Major Additions:

1. Export Functionality (Stopwatch.Export)
   - JSON export with full statistics and formatted times
   - CSV export for laps and event history
   - File I/O operations for data persistence
   - CLI commands: export, save, load

2. Configuration System (Stopwatch.Config)
   - Load/save configuration from .stopwatch.config.json
   - Customizable default settings
   - Support for format preferences and behavior options

3. Docker Support
   - Multi-stage Dockerfile for minimal production images (~20MB)
   - Docker Compose with dev and prod services
   - Comprehensive Docker documentation
   - .dockerignore for optimized builds

4. CI/CD Infrastructure
   - GitHub Actions workflows for:
     * Testing across multiple Elixir (1.14-1.16) and OTP (24-26) versions
     * Code quality checks (format, Credo, Dialyzer)
     * Automated escript builds
     * Multi-platform releases (Linux, macOS)
     * Hex.pm publishing automation
   - Codecov integration for coverage tracking

5. Code Quality Tools
   - Credo integration with comprehensive ruleset
   - Dialyzer static analysis with PLT caching
   - ExCoveralls for test coverage reporting
   - Formatter configuration for consistent code style

6. Developer Experience
   - Makefile with 15+ common development commands
   - Benchmarking suite for performance testing
   - Example scripts (basic_usage.exs, export_example.exs)
   - Performance benchmarks for all major operations

7. GitHub Templates
   - Bug report template (YAML format with validation)
   - Feature request template (YAML format with priority)
   - Pull request template with comprehensive checklist

8. Enhanced Documentation
   - Complete API documentation (docs/API.md)
   - Docker usage guide (docs/DOCKER.md)
   - Updated README with all new features
   - Inline examples and usage patterns

Dependencies Added:
- jason (~> 1.4) - JSON encoding/decoding
- credo (~> 1.7) - Code quality and linting
- dialyxir (~> 1.4) - Static analysis
- excoveralls (~> 0.18) - Coverage reporting

Files Changed:
- Modified: mix.exs, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, lib/stopwatch/cli.ex
- Added: 22 new files including Docker, CI/CD, docs, examples, and tools

This enhancement transforms the project from a simple stopwatch into
a professional, production-ready application with comprehensive
tooling, documentation, and deployment capabilities.

+## Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```elixir
+# Create and start
+stopwatch = Stopwatch.new()
+{:ok, stopwatch} = Stopwatch.start(stopwatch)
+
+# Record laps
+Process.sleep(1000)
+{:ok, stopwatch, lap1} = Stopwatch.lap(stopwatch)
+
+Process.sleep(500)
+{:ok, stopwatch, lap2} = Stopwatch.lap(stopwatch)
+
+# Pause and resume
+{:ok, stopwatch} = Stopwatch.pause(stopwatch)
+Process.sleep(1000)  # Time not counted
+{:ok, stopwatch} = Stopwatch.resume(stopwatch)
+
+# Stop
+{:ok, stopwatch, total} = Stopwatch.stop(stopwatch)
+
+# Format and display
+formatted = Stopwatch.Formatter.format(total, :long)
+IO.puts("Total time: #{formatted}")
+```
+
+### Export Data
+
+```elixir
+# Export to JSON
+{:ok, json} = Stopwatch.Export.to_json(stopwatch)
+
+# Export laps to CSV
+{:ok, "laps.csv"} = Stopwatch.Export.laps_to_csv_file(stopwatch, "laps.csv")
+
+# Export history to CSV
+{:ok, "history.csv"} = Stopwatch.Export.history_to_csv_file(stopwatch, "history.csv")
+```
+
+### Statistics
+
+```elixir
+# Get all laps
+laps = Stopwatch.get_laps(stopwatch)
+
+# Calculate statistics
+lap_times =
+  laps
+  |> Enum.chunk_every(2, 1, [0])
+  |> Enum.map(fn [curr, prev] -> curr - prev end)
+
+fastest = Enum.min(lap_times)
+slowest = Enum.max(lap_times)
+average = div(Enum.sum(lap_times), length(lap_times))
+
+IO.puts("Fastest: #{Stopwatch.Formatter.format(fastest)}")
+IO.puts("Slowest: #{Stopwatch.Formatter.format(slowest)}")
+IO.puts("Average: #{Stopwatch.Formatter.format(average)}")
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+All state-changing operations return tagged tuples:
+
+```elixir
+# Success
+{:ok, stopwatch} = Stopwatch.start(stopwatch)
+
+# Error
+{:error, reason} = Stopwatch.start(already_running_stopwatch)
+```
+
+Common error scenarios:
+- Starting an already running stopwatch
+- Stopping a stopped stopwatch
+- Pausing a non-running stopwatch
+- Resuming a non-paused stopwatch
+- Recording a lap while stopped

+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use specific tags**: Instead of `latest`, use version tags for reproducibility
+2. **Minimize layers**: Combine RUN commands to reduce image size
+3. **Use .dockerignore**: Exclude unnecessary files from build context
+4. **Multi-stage builds**: Keep final image small
+5. **Security scanning**: Regularly scan images for vulnerabilities
+
+```bash
+# Scan for vulnerabilities
+docker scan elixir-stopwatch:latest
+```
