docs: add GitHub Wiki setup instructions

- Move all documentation to docs/ directory for better organization
- Rewrite README.md following Linux kernel style (English only)
- Rename HACKING -> CONTRIBUTING.md
- Rename QUICKREF -> QUICKREF.md
- Rename README -> README.old
- Add comprehensive Development-Guide.md for contributors

Documentation structure:
- README.md: Project overview and quick start
- docs/Development-Guide.md: Complete developer manual
- docs/CONTRIBUTING.md: Contribution guidelines
- docs/DEPLOYMENT.md: Production deployment guide
- docs/SECURITY_QUICKREF.md: Security config reference
- docs/QUICKREF.md: Command cheat sheet

This aligns with Linux kernel documentation practices:
simple, organized, and accessible.

-# TNT
+# TNT - Terminal Network Talk
 
-Terminal chat server. Vim-style interface. SSH-based.
+A minimalist terminal chat server with Vim-style interface over SSH.
 
-## Install
+## Features
 
+- **Zero config** - Download and run, auto-generates SSH keys
+- **SSH-based** - Leverage mature SSH protocol for encryption and auth
+- **Vim-style UI** - Modal editing (INSERT/NORMAL/COMMAND)
+- **UTF-8 native** - Full Unicode support
+- **High performance** - Pure C, multi-threaded, sub-100ms startup
+- **Secure** - Rate limiting, auth failure protection, input validation
+- **Persistent** - Auto-saves chat history
+- **Elegant** - Flicker-free TUI rendering
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Installation
+
+**One-liner:**
 ```sh
 curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m1ngsama/TNT/main/install.sh | sh
 ```
 
-Or download from [releases](https://github.com/m1ngsama/TNT/releases).
+**From source:**
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/m1ngsama/TNT.git
+cd TNT
+make
+sudo make install
+```
 
-## Run
+**Binary releases:**
+https://github.com/m1ngsama/TNT/releases
+
+### Running
 
 ```sh
-tnt              # port 2222
+tnt              # default port 2222
 tnt -p 3333      # custom port
-PORT=3333 tnt    # env var
+PORT=3333 tnt    # via env var
 ```
 
-Connect: `ssh -p 2222 localhost`
+### Connecting
-
-**Anonymous Access**: By default, users can connect with ANY username and ANY password (or empty password). No SSH keys required. This makes TNT perfect for public chat servers.
-
-## Security
-
-Configure via environment variables.
-
-### Access Control
 
 ```sh
-TNT_ACCESS_TOKEN="secret" tnt           # require password
+ssh -p 2222 localhost
-TNT_BIND_ADDR=127.0.0.1 tnt             # localhost only
 ```
 
-Without `TNT_ACCESS_TOKEN`, server is open (default).
+**Anonymous access by default**: Users can connect with ANY username/password (or empty password). No SSH keys required. Perfect for public chat servers.
 
-### Rate Limiting
+## Usage
+
+### Keybindings
+
+**INSERT mode (default)**
+```
+ESC        - Enter NORMAL mode
+Enter      - Send message
+Backspace  - Delete character
+Ctrl+W     - Delete last word
+Ctrl+U     - Delete line
+Ctrl+C     - Enter NORMAL mode
+```
+
+**NORMAL mode**
+```
+i          - Return to INSERT mode
+:          - Enter COMMAND mode
+j/k        - Scroll down/up
+g/G        - Scroll to top/bottom
+?          - Show help
+```
+
+**COMMAND mode**
+```
+:list, :users, :who  - Show online users
+:help, :commands     - Show available commands
+:clear, :cls         - Clear command output
+ESC                  - Return to NORMAL mode
+```
+
+### Security Configuration

+# Max total connections (default 64)
+TNT_MAX_CONNECTIONS=100 tnt
+
+# Max connections per IP (default 5)
+TNT_MAX_CONN_PER_IP=10 tnt
+
+# Disable rate limiting (testing only)
+TNT_RATE_LIMIT=0 tnt
+```
+
+**SSH logging:**
+```sh
+# 0=none, 1=warning, 2=protocol, 3=packet, 4=functions (default 1)
+TNT_SSH_LOG_LEVEL=3 tnt
+```
+
+**Production example:**
+```sh
+TNT_ACCESS_TOKEN="strong-password-123" \
+TNT_BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0 \
+TNT_MAX_CONNECTIONS=200 \
+TNT_MAX_CONN_PER_IP=3 \

+## Maintenance
+- [x] Replace deprecated `libssh` functions in `src/ssh_server.c`:
+    - ~~`ssh_message_auth_password`~~ → `auth_password_function` callback (✓ completed)
+    - ~~`ssh_message_channel_request_pty_width/height`~~ → `channel_pty_request_function` callback (✓ completed)
+    - Migrated to callback-based server API as of libssh 0.9+
+
+## Future Features
+- [x] Implement robust command handling for non-interactive SSH exec requests.
+    - Basic exec support completed (handles `exit` command)
+    - All tests passing

+### Key Design Principles
+
+1. **Fixed-size buffers** - No dynamic allocation in hot paths
+2. **Reader-writer locks** - Multiple readers, single writer
+3. **Reference counting** - Prevent use-after-free
+4. **Ring buffer** - Fixed-size message history (last 100 messages)

+
+---
+
+## Core Components
+
+### 1. SSH Server (ssh_server.c)
+
+**Callback-based API** (libssh 0.9+):
+
+```c
+/* Authentication callbacks */
+static int auth_password(ssh_session session, const char *user,
+                         const char *password, void *userdata);
+static int auth_none(ssh_session session, const char *user, void *userdata);
+
+/* Channel callbacks */
+static ssh_channel channel_open_request_session(ssh_session session, void *userdata);
+static int channel_pty_request(ssh_session session, ssh_channel channel,
+                               const char *term, int width, int height,
+                               int pxwidth, int pxheight, void *userdata);
+static int channel_shell_request(ssh_session session, ssh_channel channel,
+                                 void *userdata);
+static int channel_exec_request(ssh_session session, ssh_channel channel,
+                                const char *command, void *userdata);
+```
+
+**Event loop:**
+```c
+ssh_event event = ssh_event_new();
+ssh_event_add_session(event, session);
+
+/* Wait for: auth_success, channel != NULL, channel_ready */
+while ((!ctx->auth_success || ctx->channel == NULL || !ctx->channel_ready) && !timed_out) {
+    ssh_event_dopoll(event, 1000);
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Chat Room (chat_room.c)
+
+**Thread-safe broadcasting:**
+```c
+void room_broadcast(chat_room_t *room, const message_t *msg) {
+    pthread_rwlock_wrlock(&room->lock);
+
+    /* Copy client list with ref counting */
+    client_t **clients_copy = calloc(...);
+    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
+        clients_copy[i]->ref_count++;
+    }
+
+    pthread_rwlock_unlock(&room->lock);  // Release lock early
+
+    /* Render outside lock (avoid deadlock) */
+    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
+        tui_render_screen(clients_copy[i]);
+        client_release(clients_copy[i]);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- Copy client list while holding write lock
+- Increment reference counts
+- Release lock BEFORE rendering
+- Render to all clients outside lock
+- Decrement reference counts (may free clients)
+
+### 3. Message Persistence (message.c)
+
+**Log format:**
+```
+2024-01-13T10:30:45Z|username|message content
+```
+
+**Optimized loading** (backward scan):
+```c
+/* Scan backwards from file end */
+fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_END);
+long file_size = ftell(fp);
+long pos = file_size - 1;
+
+/* Read 4KB chunks backwards */
+#define CHUNK_SIZE 4096
+while (pos >= 0 && newlines_found < max_messages) {
+    /* Read chunk */
+    /* Count newlines backwards */
+    /* Stop when max_messages found */
+}
+```
+
+**Complexity:** O(last N messages) instead of O(file size)
+
+### 4. TUI Rendering (tui.c)
+
+**Flicker-free rendering:**
+```c
+/* Move to top (no clear screen!) */
+pos += snprintf(buffer + pos, size - pos, ANSI_HOME);
+
+/* Render each line with line clear */
+for (each line) {
+    pos += snprintf(buffer + pos, size - pos, "%s\033[K\r\n", line);
+}
+```
+
+**ANSI codes:**
+- `\033[H` - HOME (move cursor to 0,0)
+- `\033[K` - EL (erase to end of line)
+- `\033[2J` - ED (erase display) - **DON'T USE** (causes flicker)
+
+### 5. UTF-8 Handling (utf8.c)
+
+**Character width:**
+```c
+int utf8_char_width(const char *str) {
+    unsigned char c = (unsigned char)str[0];
+
+    /* ASCII */
+    if (c < 0x80) return 1;
+
+    /* CJK ranges (width = 2) */
+    uint32_t codepoint = /* decode UTF-8 */;
+    if (codepoint >= 0x4E00 && codepoint <= 0x9FFF) return 2;  // CJK Unified
+    if (codepoint >= 0x3040 && codepoint <= 0x30FF) return 2;  // Hiragana/Katakana
+    if (codepoint >= 0xAC00 && codepoint <= 0xD7AF) return 2;  // Hangul
+
+    return 1;
+}
+```
+
+**Word deletion (Ctrl+W):**
+```c
+void utf8_remove_last_word(char *str) {
+    int i = strlen(str);
+
+    /* Skip trailing spaces */
+    while (i > 0 && str[i-1] == ' ') i--;
+
+    /* Skip non-spaces (the word) */
+    while (i > 0 && str[i-1] != ' ') i--;
+
+    str[i] = '\0';
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** Only recognizes ASCII space as word boundary (not ideal for CJK).
+
+---
+
+## Adding Features
+
+### Adding a New Command
+
+1. **Add to `execute_command()` in ssh_server.c:**
+```c
+if (strcmp(cmd, "newcmd") == 0) {
+    pos += snprintf(output + pos, sizeof(output) - pos,
+                   "New command output\n");
+}
+```
+
+2. **Update help text in tui.c:**
+```c
+"AVAILABLE COMMANDS:\n"
+"  newcmd         - Description of new command\n"
+```
+
+3. **Add test in tests/test_basic.sh:**
+```sh
+echo ":newcmd" | timeout 5 ssh -p $PORT localhost
+```
+
+### Adding a New Keybinding
+
+1. **Add to `handle_key()` in ssh_server.c:**
+```c
+case MODE_INSERT:
+    if (key == 26) {  /* Ctrl+Z */
+        /* Handle Ctrl+Z */
+        return true;
+    }
+```
+
+2. **Update help text in tui.c**
+
+3. **Document in README.md**
+
+---
+
+## Debugging
+
+### Enable Verbose SSH Logging
+
+```sh
+TNT_SSH_LOG_LEVEL=4 ./tnt
+```
+
+Levels:
+- 0 = No logs
+- 1 = Warnings (default)
+- 2 = Protocol
+- 3 = Packet
+- 4 = Functions
+
+### Use AddressSanitizer
+
+```sh
+make asan
+ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 ./tnt
+```
+
+Detects:
+- Buffer overflows
+- Use-after-free
+- Memory leaks
+- Stack corruption
+
+### Use Valgrind
+
+```sh
+make
+valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all ./tnt
+```
+
+### GDB Debugging
+
+```sh
+make debug
+gdb ./tnt
+
+(gdb) run
+(gdb) bt        # backtrace on crash
+(gdb) p var     # print variable
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Problem:** Client disconnects immediately
+**Solution:** Check `handle_pty_request()` - must wait for shell/exec request
+
+**Problem:** Rendering flickers
+**Solution:** Use `\033[K` (line clear) instead of `\033[2J` (screen clear)
+
+**Problem:** Race condition / deadlock
+**Solution:** Check lock order, use reader-writer locks correctly
+
+**Problem:** Memory leak
+**Solution:** Run with ASAN, check reference counting
+
+---
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Hot Paths
+
+1. **Message broadcasting** (`room_broadcast`)
+   - Minimize lock holding time
+   - Render outside lock
+   - Use fixed-size buffers
+
+2. **TUI rendering** (`tui_render_screen`)
+   - Build buffer completely, then single write
+   - No incremental writes
+   - Use `snprintf` (not `strcat`)
+
+3. **Message loading** (`message_load`)
+   - Backward scan from file end
+   - 4KB chunked reads
+   - Early termination
+
+### Profiling
+
+```sh
+# Compile with profiling
+make CFLAGS="-pg"
+
+# Run
+./tnt
+
+# Generate report
+gprof tnt gmon.out > profile.txt
+```
+
+### Benchmarking
+
+```sh
+# Message throughput
+time (for i in {1..1000}; do echo "msg $i"; done | ssh -p 2222 localhost)
+
+# Concurrent connections
+./tests/test_stress.sh
+
+# Startup time with large log
+dd if=/dev/zero of=messages.log bs=1M count=10
+time ./tnt
+```
+
+---
+
+## Contributing Guidelines
+
+### Code Style
+
+Follow **Linux kernel coding style**:
+
+```c
+/* Function brace on new line */
+int function(int arg)
+{
+    /* Use tabs (width 8) */
+    if (condition) {
+        /* Do something */
+    }
+
+    /* Single exit point preferred */
+    return ret;
+}
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+- Tabs for indentation (8 spaces)
+- Max 80 columns
+- No trailing whitespace
+- `/* C-style comments */` (not `//`)
+- Functions < 100 lines
+- Max 3 levels of indentation
+
+### Commit Messages
+
+```
+subsystem: short description (max 50 chars)
+
+Longer explanation if needed (wrap at 72 chars).
+Explain WHAT and WHY, not HOW.
+
+- Bullet points OK
+- Reference issues: Fixes #123
+
+Signed-off-by: Your Name <email@example.com>
+```
+
+Examples:
+```
+ssh: migrate to callback-based API
+
+Replace deprecated message-based API with modern callback-based
+server implementation. Eliminates message loop complexity.
+
+tui: optimize rendering to eliminate flicker
+
+Use ANSI HOME + line clear instead of full screen clear.
+Reduces rendering time from 50ms to <1ms.
+```
+
+### Pull Request Process

+# GitHub Wiki Setup Instructions
+
+The development documentation has been prepared and is ready to be added to GitHub Wiki.
+
+## Quick Setup (Recommended)
+
+1. **Enable Wiki** (already enabled for this repo)
+
+2. **Create Wiki pages via GitHub Web UI:**
+   - Go to: https://github.com/m1ngsama/TNT/wiki
+   - Click "Create the first page"
+   - Title: `Home`
+   - Content: Copy from `README.md` (project overview)
+   - Click "Save Page"
+
+3. **Add Development Guide:**
+   - Click "New Page"
+   - Title: `Development-Guide`
+   - Content: Copy from `docs/Development-Guide.md`
+   - Click "Save Page"
+
+4. **Add other pages as needed:**
+   - Contributing Guide (from `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md`)
+   - Deployment Guide (from `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md`)
+   - Security Reference (from `docs/SECURITY_QUICKREF.md`)
+   - Quick Reference (from `docs/QUICKREF.md`)
+
+## Alternative: Clone and Push
+
+Once the Wiki has at least one page, you can manage it via git:
+
+```sh
+# Clone wiki repository
+git clone https://github.com/m1ngsama/TNT.wiki.git
+cd TNT.wiki
+
+# Copy documentation
+cp ../docs/Development-Guide.md ./Development-Guide.md
+cp ../docs/CONTRIBUTING.md ./Contributing.md
+cp ../docs/DEPLOYMENT.md ./Deployment.md
+
+# Commit and push
+git add .
+git commit -m "docs: add development documentation"
+git push origin master
+```
+
+## Wiki Page Structure
+
+Recommended structure:
+
+```
+Home                    - Project overview (from README.md)
+├── Development-Guide   - Complete dev manual
+├── Contributing        - How to contribute
+├── Deployment          - Production deployment
+├── Security-Reference  - Security configuration
+└── Quick-Reference     - Command cheat sheet
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- GitHub Wiki uses its own git repository (separate from main repo)
+- Wiki pages are written in Markdown
+- Page titles become URLs (spaces → hyphens)
+- First page must be created via Web UI
+- After that, you can use git to manage content
+
+---
+
+**All documentation is already in `docs/` directory and can be viewed directly in the repository.**
