Subject: [PATCH 02/99] Add shared UI package with Charm ecosystem for styled
 CLI output

  - Create internal/ui/ package with centralized Lipgloss styles (styles.go)
  - Add output helpers for consistent styling: Title, Box, Success, Dim, etc.
  - Implement Bubble Tea spinner with reference counting for async operations
  - Add GlobalSpinner singleton for seamless spinner across CLI lifecycle
  - Update PersistentPreRunE to show spinner during initialization
  - Migrate cre init and cre whoami to use shared UI package

Subject: [PATCH 03/99] Add spinner to cre init and fix layout issues

  - Add spinner during file generation (copying, generating templates, contracts)
  - Show spinner during Go dependencies installation
  - Display dependencies in styled box after spinner completes
  - Fix Next steps box spacing and formatting
  - Refactor initializeGoModule to return deps instead of printing

Subject: [PATCH 62/99] Replace embedded templates with dynamic GitHub-based
 template fetching

  Templates are now discovered and downloaded from GitHub repositories at
  runtime instead of being embedded in the CLI binary via go:embed. This
  enables template updates without CLI releases and supports multiple
  template sources.

  New packages:
  - internal/templaterepo/ - GitHub API client, file cache, and registry
    for discovering, caching, and scaffolding templates
  - internal/config/ - CLI config (~/.cre/config.yaml) for template
    repository sources with env var and flag overrides

  Changes:
  - cmd/creinit: rewritten to use registry-based template fetching with
    RegistryInterface for testability. Wizard simplified to 3 steps
    (project name, template selection, workflow name)
  - cmd/creinit/template/workflow/ removed (all embedded templates)
  - cmd/creinit/go_module_init.go removed (templates are self-contained)
  - SDK version constants moved to internal/constants/
  - cmd/generate-bindings updated to import from constants package
  - E2E tests updated: --template-id flag replaced with --template using
    template name strings (kv-store-go, cre-custom-data-feed-go, etc.)

  Template sources configurable via:
  - --template-repo flag
  - CRE_TEMPLATE_REPOS env var
  - ~/.cre/config.yaml
  - Default: smartcontractkit/cre-templates@main

-# Blank Workflow Example
-
-This template provides a blank workflow example. It aims to give a starting point for writing a workflow from scratch and to get started with local simulation.
-
-Steps to run the example
-
-## 1. Update .env file
-
-You need to add a private key to env file. This is specifically required if you want to simulate chain writes. For that to work the key should be valid and funded.
-If your workflow does not do any chain write then you can just put any dummy key as a private key. e.g.
-```
-CRE_ETH_PRIVATE_KEY=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
-```
-
-## 2. Simulate the workflow
-Run the command from <b>project root directory</b>
-
-```bash
-cre workflow simulate <path-to-workflow> --target=staging-settings
-```
-
-It is recommended to look into other existing examples to see how to write a workflow. You can generate then by running the `cre init` command.

-# Trying out the Developer PoR example
-
-This template provides an end-to-end Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) example (including precompiled smart contracts). It's designed to showcase key CRE capabilities and help you get started with local simulation quickly.
-
-Follow the steps below to run the example:
-
-## 1. Initialize CRE project
-
-Start by initializing a new CRE project. This will scaffold the necessary project structure and a template workflow. Run cre init in the directory where you'd like your CRE project to live. Note that workflow names must be exactly 10 characters long (we will relax this requirement in the future).
-
-Example output:
-```
-Project name?: my_cre_project
-✔ Development PoR Example to understand capabilities and simulate workflows
-✔ Workflow name?: workflow01
-```
-
-## 2. Update .env file
-
-You need to add a private key to the .env file. This is specifically required if you want to simulate chain writes. For that to work the key should be valid and funded.
-If your workflow does not do any chain write then you can just put any dummy key as a private key. e.g.
-```
-CRE_ETH_PRIVATE_KEY=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
-```
-
-## 3. Configure RPC endpoints
-
-For local simulation to interact with a chain, you must specify RPC endpoints for the chains you interact with in the `project.yaml` file. This is required for submitting transactions and reading blockchain state.
-
-Note: The following 7 chains are supported in local simulation (both testnet and mainnet variants):
-- Ethereum (`ethereum-testnet-sepolia`, `ethereum-mainnet`)
-- Base (`ethereum-testnet-sepolia-base-1`, `ethereum-mainnet-base-1`)
-- Avalanche (`avalanche-testnet-fuji`, `avalanche-mainnet`)
-- Polygon (`polygon-testnet-amoy`, `polygon-mainnet`)
-- BNB Chain (`binance-smart-chain-testnet`, `binance-smart-chain-mainnet`)
-- Arbitrum (`ethereum-testnet-sepolia-arbitrum-1`, `ethereum-mainnet-arbitrum-1`)
-- Optimism (`ethereum-testnet-sepolia-optimism-1`, `ethereum-mainnet-optimism-1`)
-
-Add your preferred RPCs under the `rpcs` section. For chain names, refer to https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chain-selectors/blob/main/selectors.yml
-
-```yaml
-rpcs:
-  - chain-name: ethereum-testnet-sepolia
-    url: <Your RPC endpoint to ETH Sepolia>
-```
-Ensure the provided URLs point to valid RPC endpoints for the specified chains. You may use public RPC providers or set up your own node.
-
-## 4. Deploy contracts

-Deploy the BalanceReader, MessageEmitter, ReserveManager and SimpleERC20 contracts. You can either do this on a local chain or on a testnet using tools like cast/foundry.
-
-For a quick start, you can also use the pre-deployed contract addresses on Ethereum Sepolia—no action required on your part if you're just trying things out.
-
-For completeness, the Solidity source code for these contracts is located under projectRoot/contracts/evm/src.
-- chain: `ethereum-testnet-sepolia`
-- ReserveManager contract address: `0x073671aE6EAa2468c203fDE3a79dEe0836adF032`
-- SimpleERC20 contract address: `0x4700A50d858Cb281847ca4Ee0938F80DEfB3F1dd`
-- BalanceReader contract address: `0x4b0739c94C1389B55481cb7506c62430cA7211Cf`
-- MessageEmitter contract address: `0x1d598672486ecB50685Da5497390571Ac4E93FDc`
-
-## 5. [Optional] Generate contract bindings
-
-To enable seamless interaction between the workflow and the contracts, Go bindings need to be generated from the contract ABIs. These ABIs are located in projectRoot/contracts/src/abi. Use the cre generate-bindings command to generate the bindings.
-
-Note: Bindings for the template is pre-generated, so you can skip this step if there is no abi/contract changes. This command must be run from the <b>project root directory</b> where project.yaml is located. The CLI looks for a contracts folder and a go.mod file in this directory.
-
-```bash
-# Navigate to your project root (where project.yaml is located)
-# Generate bindings for all contracts
-cre generate-bindings evm
-
-# The bindings will be generated in contracts/evm/src/generated/
-# Each contract gets its own package subdirectory:
-# - contracts/evm/src/generated/ierc20/IERC20.go
-# - contracts/evm/src/generated/reserve_manager/ReserveManager.go
-# - contracts/evm/src/generated/balance_reader/BalanceReader.go
-# - etc.
-```
-
-This will create Go binding files for all the contracts (ReserveManager, SimpleERC20, BalanceReader, MessageEmitter, etc.) that can be imported and used in your workflow.
-
-## 6. Configure workflow
-
-Configure `config.json` for the workflow
-- `schedule` should be set to `"0 */1 * * * *"` for every 1 minute(s) or any other cron expression you prefer, note [CRON service quotas](https://docs.chain.link/cre/service-quotas)
-- `url` should be set to existing reserves HTTP endpoint API
-- `tokenAddress` should be the SimpleERC20 contract address
-- `reserveManagerAddress` should be the ReserveManager contract address
-- `balanceReaderAddress` should be the BalanceReader contract address
-- `messageEmitterAddress` should be the MessageEmitter contract address
-- `chainName` should be name of selected chain (refer to https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chain-selectors/blob/main/selectors.yml)
-- `gasLimit` should be the gas limit of chain write
-
-The config is already populated with deployed contracts in template.
-
-Note: Make sure your `workflow.yaml` file is pointing to the config.json, example:
-
-```yaml
-staging-settings:
-  user-workflow:
-    workflow-name: "workflow01"
-  workflow-artifacts:
-    workflow-path: "."
-    config-path: "./config.json"
-    secrets-path: ""
-```
-
-
-## 7. Simulate the workflow
-
-> **Note:** Run `go mod tidy` to update dependencies after generating bindings.
-```bash
-go mod tidy
-
-cre workflow simulate <path-to-workflow>
-```
-
-After this you will get a set of options similar to:
-
-```
-🚀 Workflow simulation ready. Please select a trigger:
-1. cron-trigger@1.0.0 Trigger
-2. evm:ChainSelector:16015286601757825753@1.0.0 LogTrigger
-
-Enter your choice (1-2):
-```
-
-You can simulate each of the following triggers types as follows
-
-### 7a. Simulating Cron Trigger Workflows
-
-Select option 1, and the workflow should immediately execute.
-
-### 7b. Simulating Log Trigger Workflows
-
-Select option 2, and then two additional prompts will come up and you can pass in the example inputs:
-
-Transaction Hash: 0x9394cc015736e536da215c31e4f59486a8d85f4cfc3641e309bf00c34b2bf410
-Log Event Index: 0
-
-The output will look like:
-```
-🔗 EVM Trigger Configuration:
-Please provide the transaction hash and event index for the EVM log event.
-Enter transaction hash (0x...): 0x9394cc015736e536da215c31e4f59486a8d85f4cfc3641e309bf00c34b2bf410

-# Typescript Confidential HTTP Example
-
-This template provides a Typescript Confidential HTTP workflow example. It shows how to set a secret header and send it via the ConfidentialHTTP capability.
-
-Steps to run the example
-
-## 1. Update .env file
-
-You'll need to add a secret value to the .env file for requests to read. This is the value that will be set as a header when sending requests via the ConfidentialHTTP capability.
-
-```
-SECRET_HEADER_VALUE=abcd1234
-```
-
-Note: Make sure your `workflow.yaml` file is pointing to the config.json, example:
-
-```yaml
-staging-settings:
-  user-workflow:
-    workflow-name: "conf-http"
-  workflow-artifacts:
-    workflow-path: "./main.ts"
-    config-path: "./config.json"
-```
-
-## 2. Install dependencies
-
-If `bun` is not already installed, see https://bun.com/docs/installation for installing in your environment.
-
-```bash
-cd <workflow-name> && bun install
-```
-
-Example: For a workflow directory named `conf-http` the command would be:
-
-```bash
-cd conf-http && bun install
-```
-
-## 3. Simulate the workflow
-
-Run the command from <b>project root directory</b>
-
-```bash
-cre workflow simulate <path-to-workflow-directory> --target=staging-settings
-```
-
-Example: For workflow named `conf-http` the command would be:
-
-```bash
-cre workflow simulate ./conf-http --target=staging-settings
-```

-# Trying out the Developer PoR example
-
-This template provides an end-to-end Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) example (including precompiled smart contracts). It's designed to showcase key CRE capabilities and help you get started with local simulation quickly.
-
-Follow the steps below to run the example:
-
-## 1. Initialize CRE project
-
-Start by initializing a new CRE project. This will scaffold the necessary project structure and a template workflow. Run cre init in the directory where you'd like your CRE project to live.
-
-Example output:
-
-```
-Project name?: my_cre_project
-✔ Custom data feed: Typescript updating on-chain data periodically using offchain API data
-✔ Workflow name?: workflow01
-```
-
-## 2. Update .env file
-
-You need to add a private key to the .env file. This is specifically required if you want to simulate chain writes. For that to work the key should be valid and funded.
-If your workflow does not do any chain write then you can keep a dummy key as a private key. e.g.
-
-```
-CRE_ETH_PRIVATE_KEY=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
-```
-
-## 3. Install dependencies
-
-If `bun` is not already installed, see https://bun.com/docs/installation for installing in your environment.
-
-```bash
-cd <workflow-name> && bun install
-```
-
-Example: For a workflow directory named `workflow01` the command would be:
-
-```bash
-cd workflow01 && bun install
-```
-
-## 4. Configure RPC endpoints
-
-For local simulation to interact with a chain, you must specify RPC endpoints for the chains you interact with in the `project.yaml` file. This is required for submitting transactions and reading blockchain state.
-
-Note: The following 7 chains are supported in local simulation (both testnet and mainnet variants):
-
-- Ethereum (`ethereum-testnet-sepolia`, `ethereum-mainnet`)
-- Base (`ethereum-testnet-sepolia-base-1`, `ethereum-mainnet-base-1`)
-- Avalanche (`avalanche-testnet-fuji`, `avalanche-mainnet`)
-- Polygon (`polygon-testnet-amoy`, `polygon-mainnet`)
-- BNB Chain (`binance-smart-chain-testnet`, `binance-smart-chain-mainnet`)
-- Arbitrum (`ethereum-testnet-sepolia-arbitrum-1`, `ethereum-mainnet-arbitrum-1`)
-- Optimism (`ethereum-testnet-sepolia-optimism-1`, `ethereum-mainnet-optimism-1`)
-
-Add your preferred RPCs under the `rpcs` section. For chain names, refer to https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chain-selectors/blob/main/selectors.yml
-
-## 5. Deploy contracts and prepare ABIs
-
-### 5a. Deploy contracts
-
-Deploy the BalanceReader, MessageEmitter, ReserveManager and SimpleERC20 contracts. You can either do this on a local chain or on a testnet using tools like cast/foundry.
-
-For a quick start, you can also use the pre-deployed contract addresses on Ethereum Sepolia—no action required on your part if you're just trying things out.
-
-### 5b. Prepare ABIs
-
-For each contract you would like to interact with, you need to provide the ABI `.ts` file so that TypeScript can provide type safety and autocomplete for the contract methods. The format of the ABI files is very similar to regular JSON format; you just need to export it as a variable and mark it `as const`. For example:
-
-```ts
-// IERC20.ts file
-export const IERC20Abi = {
-  // ... your ABI here ...
-} as const;
-```
-
-For a quick start, every contract used in this workflow is already provided in the `contracts` folder. You can use them as a reference.
-
-## 6. Configure workflow
-
-Configure `config.json` for the workflow
-
-- `schedule` should be set to `"0 */1 * * * *"` for every 1 minute(s) or any other cron expression you prefer, note [CRON service quotas](https://docs.chain.link/cre/service-quotas)
-- `url` should be set to existing reserves HTTP endpoint API
-- `tokenAddress` should be the SimpleERC20 contract address
-- `porAddress` should be the ReserveManager contract address
-- `proxyAddress` should be the UpdateReservesProxySimplified contract address
-- `balanceReaderAddress` should be the BalanceReader contract address
-- `messageEmitterAddress` should be the MessageEmitter contract address
-- `chainSelectorName` should be human-readable chain name of selected chain (refer to https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chain-selectors/blob/main/selectors.yml)
-- `gasLimit` should be the gas limit of chain write
-
-The config is already populated with deployed contracts in template.
-
-Note: Make sure your `workflow.yaml` file is pointing to the config.json, example:
-
-```yaml
-staging-settings:
-  user-workflow:
-    workflow-name: "workflow01"
-  workflow-artifacts:
-    workflow-path: "./main.ts"
-    config-path: "./config.json"
-    secrets-path: ""

-## 7. Simulate the workflow
-
-Run the command from <b>project root directory</b> and pass in the path to the workflow directory.
-
-```bash
-cre workflow simulate <path-to-workflow-directory>
-```
-
-For a workflow directory named `workflow01` the exact command would be:
-
-```bash
-cre workflow simulate ./workflow01
-```
-
-After this you will get a set of options similar to:
-
-```
-🚀 Workflow simulation ready. Please select a trigger:
-1. cron-trigger@1.0.0 Trigger
-2. evm:ChainSelector:16015286601757825753@1.0.0 LogTrigger
-
-Enter your choice (1-2):
-```
-
-You can simulate each of the following triggers types as follows
-
-### 7a. Simulating Cron Trigger Workflows
-
-Select option 1, and the workflow should immediately execute.
-
-### 7b. Simulating Log Trigger Workflows
-
-Select option 2, and then two additional prompts will come up and you can pass in the example inputs:
-
-Transaction Hash: 0x9394cc015736e536da215c31e4f59486a8d85f4cfc3641e309bf00c34b2bf410
-Log Event Index: 0
-
-The output will look like:
-
-```

-# Typescript Simple Workflow Example
-
-This template provides a simple Typescript workflow example. It shows how to create a simple "Hello World" workflow using Typescript.
-
-Steps to run the example
-
-## 1. Update .env file
-
-You need to add a private key to env file. This is specifically required if you want to simulate chain writes. For that to work the key should be valid and funded.
-If your workflow does not do any chain write then you can just put any dummy key as a private key. e.g.
-
-```
-CRE_ETH_PRIVATE_KEY=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
-```
-
-Note: Make sure your `workflow.yaml` file is pointing to the config.json, example:
-
-```yaml
-staging-settings:
-  user-workflow:
-    workflow-name: "hello-world"
-  workflow-artifacts:
-    workflow-path: "./main.ts"
-    config-path: "./config.json"
-```
-
-## 2. Install dependencies
-
-If `bun` is not already installed, see https://bun.com/docs/installation for installing in your environment.
-
-```bash
-cd <workflow-name> && bun install
-```
-
-Example: For a workflow directory named `hello-world` the command would be:
-
-```bash
-cd hello-world && bun install
-```
-
-## 3. Simulate the workflow
-
-Run the command from <b>project root directory</b>
-
-```bash
-cre workflow simulate <path-to-workflow-directory> --target=staging-settings
-```
-
-Example: For workflow named `hello-world` the command would be:
-
-```bash
-cre workflow simulate ./hello-world --target=staging-settings
-```

+# Blank Workflow Example
+
+This template provides a blank workflow example. It aims to give a starting point for writing a workflow from scratch and to get started with local simulation.
+
+Steps to run the example
+
+## 1. Update .env file
+
+You need to add a private key to env file. This is specifically required if you want to simulate chain writes. For that to work the key should be valid and funded.
+If your workflow does not do any chain write then you can just put any dummy key as a private key. e.g.
+```
+CRE_ETH_PRIVATE_KEY=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
+```
+
+## 2. Simulate the workflow
+Run the command from <b>project root directory</b>
+
+```bash
+cre workflow simulate <path-to-workflow> --target=staging-settings
+```
+
+It is recommended to look into other existing examples to see how to write a workflow. You can generate then by running the `cre init` command.

+# Hello World (TypeScript)
+
+This template provides a blank TypeScript workflow example. It aims to give a starting point for writing a workflow from scratch and to get started with local simulation.
+
+Steps to run the example
+
+## 1. Update .env file
+
+You need to add a private key to env file. This is specifically required if you want to simulate chain writes. For that to work the key should be valid and funded.
+If your workflow does not do any chain write then you can just put any dummy key as a private key. e.g.
+```
+CRE_ETH_PRIVATE_KEY=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
+```
+
+## 2. Install dependencies
+```bash
+bun install
+```
+
+## 3. Simulate the workflow
+Run the command from <b>project root directory</b>
+
+```bash
+cre workflow simulate <path-to-workflow> --target=staging-settings
+```
+
+It is recommended to look into other existing examples to see how to write a workflow. You can generate them by running the `cre init` command.

  Dynamic project.yaml RPC generation (internal/settings/):
  - project.yaml.tpl now uses a {{RPCsList}} placeholder instead of hardcoded chains
  - BuildRPCsListYAML() generates the rpcs YAML block from networks + URLs
  - Falls back to ethereum-testnet-sepolia with default public RPC when no networks specified

  New wizard step (cmd/creinit/wizard.go):
  - stepNetworkRPCs between template selection and workflow name
  - Prompts for each network's RPC URL sequentially
  - Empty input accepted (fill later), non-empty input validated as valid HTTP/HTTPS URL
  - Step is skipped if template has no networks or all RPCs provided via flags

  --rpc-url flag (cmd/creinit/creinit.go):
  - Repeatable StringArray flag: --rpc-url chain-name=url
  - Parsed in ResolveInputs(), merged with wizard results in Execute()
  - Flag values override wizard input

Subject: [PATCH 72/99] Add multi-workflow support and preserve
 template-shipped workflow.yaml

  - Add WorkflowDirEntry struct and Workflows/PostInit fields to
  TemplateMetadata in types.go
  - Rewrite renameWorkflowDir in registry.go to branch on workflow count:
   skip renaming for multi-workflow, rename single workflow, heuristic
  fallback for legacy
  - Update wizard to skip workflow name prompt for multi-workflow
  templates and default placeholder from Workflows[0].Dir
  - Default workflowName from Workflows[0].Dir in non-interactive mode
  - Loop GenerateWorkflowSettingsFile for each declared workflow dir in
  multi-workflow templates
  - Skip workflow.yaml generation when template already ships one
  (prevents overwriting custom config paths)
  - Rewrite printSuccessMessage to show per-workflow summary and postInit
   instructions
  - Add 6 new test cases covering multi-workflow, single-workflow
  defaults, rename with flag, and built-in backwards compat
