 ### Public API Structs
 
-Use `#[non_exhaustive]` for public structs and provide explicit constructors.
+Use `#[non_exhaustive]` for public structs and provide explicit constructors. When using `#[non_exhaustive]` structs internally, always use the constructor pattern (`Type::new()`) rather than struct literals - struct literals bypass the forward-compatibility guarantee.
+
+### Test-Only Code
+
+For test utilities that shouldn't be in production builds:
+
+- Add `#[cfg(test)]` to both the struct/type definition AND any impl blocks
+- Use `pub(crate)` visibility for internal test helpers
+- Keep test infrastructure in `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` blocks within the module
+
+### Regex Patterns
+
+Use `lazy_static!` or `once_cell::sync::Lazy` for compiled regexes. Always use `.expect("descriptive message")` instead of `.unwrap()` for regex compilation - invalid regex patterns should fail fast with clear error messages.

 # Classification System
 
-Stringy's classification system applies semantic analysis to extracted strings, identifying patterns that indicate specific types of data. This helps analysts quickly focus on the most relevant information.
+Stringy applies semantic analysis to extracted strings, identifying patterns that indicate specific types of data. This helps analysts focus on the most relevant information quickly.
 
 ## Classification Pipeline
 
 ```text
-Raw String -> Pattern Matching -> Tag Assignment
+Raw String -> Pattern Matching -> Validation -> Tag Assignment
 ```
 
 ## Semantic Categories
 
-### Network Indicators
+### URLs
 
-#### URLs
+- Pattern: `https?://[^\s<>"{}|\\\^\[\]\`\]+\`
+- Examples: `https://example.com/path`, `http://malware.site/payload`
+- Validation: Must start with `http://` or `https://`
 
-- **Pattern**: `` https?://[^\s<>"{}|\\^\[\]\`]+ ``
-- **Examples**: `https://api.example.com/v1/users`, `http://malware.com/payload`
-- **Validation**: URL format check with safe character filtering
-- **Security relevance**: High - indicates network communication
+### Domain Names
 
-#### Domain Names
+- Pattern: RFC 1035 compliant domain format
+- Examples: `example.com`, `subdomain.evil.site`
+- Validation: Valid TLD from known list, not a URL or email
 
-- **Pattern**: `\b(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}\b`
-- **Examples**: `api.example.com`, `malware-c2.net`
-- **Validation**: TLD checking, DNS format compliance
-- **Security relevance**: High - C2 domains, legitimate services
+### IP Addresses
 
-#### IP Addresses
+- IPv4 Pattern: Standard dotted-decimal notation
+- IPv6 Pattern: Full and compressed formats
+- Examples: `192.168.1.1`, `::1`, `2001:db8::1`
+- Validation: Valid octet ranges for IPv4, proper format for IPv6
 
-- **IPv4 Pattern**: `\b(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\b`
-- **IPv6 Pattern**: Comprehensive pattern supporting full notation, compressed notation (`::1`), and mixed notation (`::ffff:192.0.2.1`)
-- **Examples**: `192.168.1.1`, `2001:db8::1`, `[::1]:8080`
-- **Validation**: Two-stage validation using regex pre-filter followed by `std::net::IpAddr` parsing for correctness
-- **Port Handling**: IP addresses with ports (e.g., `192.168.1.1:8080`) are supported by automatically stripping the port suffix before validation
-- **IPv6 Bracket Handling**: Bracketed IPv6 addresses (e.g., `[::1]` and `[::1]:8080`) are supported
-- **False Positive Mitigation**: Version numbers like `1.2.3.4` are accepted as IPv4 addresses by design
-- **Implementation**: See `src/classification/semantic.rs` for the complete implementation
-- **Security relevance**: High - infrastructure indicators
+### File Paths
 
-### File System Indicators
+- POSIX Pattern: Paths starting with `/`
+- Windows Pattern: Drive letters (`C:\`) or relative paths
+- UNC Pattern: `\\server\share` format
+- Examples: `/etc/passwd`, `C:\Windows\System32`, `\\server\share\file`
 
-#### File Paths
+### Registry Paths
 
-- **POSIX Pattern**: `^/[^\0\n\r]*`
-- **Windows Pattern**: `^[A-Za-z]:\\[^\0\n\r]*`
-- **UNC Pattern**: `^\\\\[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\[^\0\n\r]*`
-- **Examples**: `/usr/bin/malware`, `C:\\Windows\\System32\\evil.dll`, `\\\\server\\share\\file.txt`
-- **Validation rules**: Rejects null bytes, newlines, carriage returns; rejects consecutive path separators in POSIX paths (`//`) and consecutive backslashes in Windows paths (for example, `folder\\\\file.txt`), while allowing UNC paths that start with `\\\\`; applies a reasonable length limit (4096 max, stricter for unknown prefixes); POSIX paths must be absolute (start with `/`); Windows paths must use backslashes and a valid drive letter
-- **Suspicious path examples**: `/etc/cron.d/`, `/etc/init.d/`, `/usr/local/bin/`, `/tmp/`, `/var/tmp/`; `C:\\Windows\\System32\\`, `C:\\Windows\\Temp\\`, `...\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup\\`
-- **Security relevance**: Medium-High - persistence and execution locations
+- Pattern: `HKEY_*` or `HK*\` prefixes
+- Examples: `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft`
+- Validation: Must start with valid registry root key
 
-#### Registry Paths
+### GUIDs
 
-- **Full root pattern**: `^HKEY_[A-Z_]+\\[^\0\n\r]*`
-- **Abbreviated root pattern**: `^HK(LM|CU|CR|U|CC)\\[^\0\n\r]*`
-- **Supported root keys**:
-  - `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE`
-  - `HKEY_CURRENT_USER`
-  - `HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT`
-  - `HKEY_USERS`
-  - `HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG`
-- **Supported abbreviations**:
-  - `HKLM`, `HKCU`, `HKCR`, `HKU`, `HKCC`
-- **Suspicious registry paths**:
-  - `\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run`
-  - `\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnce`
-  - `\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services`
-  - `\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon`
-- **Examples**:
-  - `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run`
-  - `HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft`
-- **Security relevance**: High - persistence mechanisms
+- Pattern: `\{[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}\}`
+- Examples: `{12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc}`
+- Validation: Strict format compliance with braces required
 
-### Identifiers
+### Email Addresses
 
-#### GUIDs/UUIDs
+- Pattern: `[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}`
+- Examples: `admin@malware.com`, `user.name+tag@example.co.uk`
+- Validation: Single `@`, valid TLD length and characters, no empty parts
 
-- **Pattern**: `\{?[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}\}?`
-- **Examples**: `{12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc}`, `12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc`
-- **Validation**: Format compliance
-- **Security relevance**: Medium - component identification
+### Base64 Data
 
-#### Email Addresses
+- Pattern: `[A-Za-z0-9+/]{20,}={0,2}`
+- Examples: `U29tZSBsb25nZXIgYmFzZTY0IHN0cmluZw==`
+- Validation: Length >= 20, length divisible by 4, padding rules, entropy threshold
 
-- **Pattern**: `[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}`
-- **Examples**: `admin@malware.com`, `support@legitimate.org`
-- **Validation**: Basic format validation
-- **Security relevance**: Medium - contact information
+### Format Strings
 
-### Code Artifacts
+- Pattern: `%[sdxofcpn]|%\d+[sdxofcpn]|\{\d+\}`
+- Examples: `Error: %s at line %d`, `User {0} logged in`
+- Validation: Reasonable specifier count, context-aware thresholds
 
-#### Format Strings
+### User Agents
 
-- **Pattern**: `%[-+0 #]*(\d+|\*)?(\.(\d+|\*))?(hh?|ll?|[Lzjt])?[diouxXeEfFgGaAcspn%]`
-- **Examples**: `Error: %s at line %d`, `Name: %s, Age: %d, Score: %.2f`
-- **Context**: Presence of real format specifiers (%% alone is ignored)
-- **Security relevance**: Low-Medium - debugging information
-
-#### Base64 Data
-
-- **Pattern**: Character set validation with padding rules
-- **Examples**: `SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=`
-- **Validation**: Length >= 16, Base64 character set, valid padding, reject length mod 4 of 1
-- **Security relevance**: Variable - encoded payloads
-
-#### User Agents
-
-- **Pattern**: Prefix match for common agents (Mozilla, curl, Wget, python-requests, libwww-perl, Java, Apache-HttpClient, okhttp, PostmanRuntime)
-- **Examples**: `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)`, `curl/7.68.0`
-- **Security relevance**: Medium - network fingerprinting
-
-## Tag Specificity
-
-Tags are treated as either specific or broad. Specific tags indicate high confidence matches (for example URL, domain, IP, file path, GUID, email, format string, and user agent). Base64 is a broad tag and should be treated as ambiguous due to higher false positive risk.
+- Pattern: `Mozilla/[0-9.]+|Chrome/[0-9.]+|Safari/[0-9.]+|AppleWebKit/[0-9.]+`
+- Examples: `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)`, `Chrome/117.0.5938.92`
+- Validation: Known browser identifiers and minimum length

+    // Handle GUID indicator
 }
 ```
 
-## Confidence Scoring
+## Validation Rules
+
+- GUID: Braced, hyphenated, hex-only format.
+- Email: TLD length must be between 2 and 24 and alphabetic; domain must include a dot.
+- Base64: Length must be divisible by 4, padding allowed only at the end, entropy threshold applied.
+- Format String: Must contain at least one specifier and pass context-aware length checks.
+- User Agent: Must contain a known browser token and meet minimum length.
 
-The current implementation returns tags without explicit confidence scores. Confidence is implicit in the validation and matching logic. A future update may introduce explicit confidence values per tag.
+## Performance Notes
 
-## Planned Enhancements
+- Regexes are compiled once via `once_cell::sync::Lazy` and reused across calls.
+- Minimum length checks avoid unnecessary regex work on short inputs.
+- The classifier is stateless and thread-safe.

 //! This module provides semantic analysis capabilities to identify and tag
 //! extracted strings based on their content patterns. The classification system
-//! uses pattern matching (regex) combined with validation to reduce false positives.
+//! uses pattern matching combined with validation to reduce false positives.
 //!
 //! ## Current Capabilities
 //!
-//! - **IPv4/IPv6 Address Detection**: Identifies IP addresses with support for
-//!   ports, bracketed IPv6 notation, and false positive mitigation for version numbers
-//! - **URL Detection**: Identifies HTTP/HTTPS URLs
-//! - **Domain Detection**: Identifies domain names with TLD validation
-//! - **File Path Detection**: Identifies POSIX, Windows, and UNC paths
-//! - **Registry Path Detection**: Identifies Windows registry paths
-//! - **GUID Detection**: Identifies GUIDs/UUIDs in standard format
-//! - **Email Detection**: Identifies email addresses
-//! - **Base64 Detection**: Identifies Base64-encoded data (broad tag)
-//! - **Format String Detection**: Identifies printf-style format strings
-//! - **User Agent Detection**: Identifies HTTP user agent strings
-//! - **Symbol Demangling**: Demangles Rust symbols to human-readable form
+//! - URL detection (HTTP/HTTPS)
+//! - Domain name detection
+//! - IPv4 and IPv6 address detection
+//! - File path detection (POSIX, Windows, UNC)
+//! - Windows registry path detection
+//! - GUID detection
+//! - Email detection
+//! - Base64 detection
+//! - Printf-style format string detection
+//! - User agent detection
 //!
 //! ## Usage
 //!
 //! ```rust
 //! use stringy::classification::SemanticClassifier;
-//! use stringy::types::{FoundString, Encoding, StringSource, Tag};
+//! use stringy::types::{BinaryFormat, Encoding, SectionType, StringContext, StringSource, Tag};
 //!

-//!     text.len() as u32,
 //!     StringSource::SectionData,
-//! );
+//! )
+//! .with_section_name(".rodata".to_string());
 //!
-//! let tags = classifier.classify(&found_string);
-//! assert!(tags.contains(&Tag::FilePath));

-//! Semantic classification for extracted strings
-//!
-//! This module provides pattern matching capabilities to identify and tag
-//! network indicators such as URLs and domain names within extracted strings.
-//! The classifier uses compiled regular expressions for efficient pattern
-//! matching and includes TLD validation to reduce false positives.
-//!
-//! Current capabilities include:
-//! - URLs and domain names
-//! - IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
-//! - POSIX and Windows file paths (including UNC paths)
-//! - Windows registry paths
-//! - GUIDs/UUIDs
-//! - Email addresses
-//! - Base64-encoded data
-//! - Printf-style format strings
-//! - User agent strings
-//!
-//! # Usage
-//!
-//! ```rust
-//! use stringy::classification::SemanticClassifier;
