+# Fastly VCL Parser, Renderer, and Validator
+
+A comprehensive Haskell library for working with Fastly VCL (Varnish Configuration Language).
+
+## Features
+
+✅ **Full VCL Parsing** - Parse VCL code into a strongly-typed AST using megaparsec
+✅ **Pretty Rendering** - Render VCL AST back to formatted code using prettyprinter
+✅ **Programmatic Generation** - Build VCL using a convenient builder API with operators
+✅ **Semantic Validation** - Comprehensive validation beyond syntax checking
+✅ **Type Safety** - Strongly typed AST ensures correctness at compile time
+✅ **Round-trip Support** - Parse and render while preserving semantics
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```haskell
+import Network.Fastly.VCL
+
+-- Parse VCL
+let vclCode = "sub vcl_recv { set req.http.Host = \"example.com\"; return(pass); }"
+case parseVCL vclCode of
+  Left err -> print err
+  Right vcl -> do
+    -- Validate
+    case validateVCL vcl of
+      Left errors -> mapM_ print errors
+      Right _ -> do
+        -- Render
+        putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+```
+
+## What Can Be Validated?
+
+### ✓ Variable Scope
+- Ensures variables are used in correct subroutine contexts
+- Example: `req.*` only in `vcl_recv`, `resp.*` only in `vcl_deliver`
+- Prevents writing to read-only variables like `client.ip`
+
+### ✓ Type Checking
+- Validates type compatibility in all operations
+- Ensures boolean conditions in if statements
+- Checks type compatibility in assignments
+- Validates function argument types
+
+### ✓ Reference Validation
+- Detects undefined subroutine calls
+- Validates backend references exist
+- Checks ACL references
+- Prevents duplicate definitions
+
+### ✓ Control Flow
+- Detects unreachable code after return/error/restart
+- Ensures proper return statements in predefined subroutines
+- Validates return actions for each subroutine context
+
+### ✓ Return Actions
+- `vcl_recv`: lookup, pass, pipe, error, synth, hash
+- `vcl_deliver`: deliver, restart
+- `vcl_fetch`: deliver, deliver_stale, restart, error
+- And more...
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Parse and Validate
+
+```haskell
+let vclCode = unlines
+      [ "backend origin {"
+      , "  .host = \"example.com\";"
+      , "}"
+      , "sub vcl_recv {"
+      , "  set req.http.Host = \"example.com\";"
+      , "  return(pass);"
+      , "}"
+      ]
+
+case parseVCL vclCode >>= validateVCL of
+  Left errors -> mapM_ print errors
+  Right vcl -> putStrLn "Valid VCL!"
+```
+
+### Example 2: Generate VCL Programmatically
+
+```haskell
+let vcl = VCL
+      [ subroutine VclRecv
+        [ ifStmt (var ["req", "http", "Host"] .==. stringLit "example.com")
+          [ setVar ["req", "backend"] (var ["origin"])
+          , returnWith "pass"
+          ]
+        , returnWith "lookup"
+        ]
+      ]
+
+-- Validate before rendering
+case validateVCL vcl of
+  Right _ -> putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+  Left errors -> mapM_ print errors
+```
+
+### Example 3: Catch Common Errors
+
+```haskell
+-- Error: Wrong variable context
+let badVCL1 = "sub vcl_deliver { set req.http.Host = \"x\"; }"
+-- ValidationError: InvalidVariableContext (Variable ["req","http","Host"]) DeliverContext
+
+-- Error: Type mismatch
+let badVCL2 = "sub vcl_recv { if (42) { return(pass); } }"
+-- ValidationError: TypeMismatch TBool TInteger "if condition"
+
+-- Error: Invalid return action
+let badVCL3 = "sub vcl_recv { return(deliver); }"
+-- ValidationError: InvalidReturnAction (Identifier "deliver") RecvContext
+
+-- Error: Unreachable code
+let badVCL4 = "sub vcl_recv { return(pass); log \"unreachable\"; }"
+-- ValidationError: UnreachableCode
+```

+```
+
+## Validation Error Types
+
+```haskell
+data ValidationError
+  = UndefinedVariable Variable
+  | InvalidVariableContext Variable SubroutineContext
+  | ReadOnlyVariable Variable
+  | TypeMismatch VCLType VCLType Text
+  | UndefinedSubroutine SubroutineName
+  | UndefinedBackend Identifier
+  | UndefinedACL Identifier
+  | InvalidReturnAction Identifier SubroutineContext
+  | DuplicateDefinition Text
+  | InvalidOperation Text
+  | UnreachableCode
+  | MissingReturn SubroutineName
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive test suites included:
+
+```bash
+cabal test
+```
+
+Tests cover:
+- Parser correctness
+- Pretty-printer formatting
+- Round-trip parse/render
+- Builder API
+- All validation rules
+- Edge cases and error conditions
+
+## Documentation
+
+Full documentation available in `docs/VCL.md` including:
+- Complete API reference
+- Usage examples
+- Variable scope rules
+- Return action compatibility
+- Type system details
+- Common patterns
+
+## Examples
+
+See `examples/` directory:
+- `VCLExample.hs` - Parsing, rendering, and generation
+- `ValidationExample.hs` - Validation features and error handling
+
+## Requirements
+
+- GHC >= 9.4
+- megaparsec >= 9.0
+- prettyprinter >= 1.7
+- containers >= 0.6
+
+## Installation
+
+```cabal
+build-depends: fastly
+```
+
+## Why Validate?
+
+VCL code that parses correctly can still have semantic errors:
+
+- Using `req.*` variables in `vcl_deliver` (not available)
+- Returning `deliver` from `vcl_recv` (invalid action)
+- Type errors like `if (42)` instead of `if (true)`
+- Calling undefined subroutines
+- Code after return statements that will never execute
+
+The validation system catches these errors before deployment!

+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Parsing VCL
+
+```haskell
+import Network.Fastly.VCL
+
+let vclCode = "sub vcl_recv { set req.http.Host = \"example.com\"; }"
+case parseVCL vclCode of
+  Left err -> print err

+        , returnWith "pass"
+        ]
+      ]
+
+putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+```
+
+### Validating VCL
+
+```haskell
+import Network.Fastly.VCL
+

+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Subroutine
+
+```haskell
+let vcl = VCL
+      [ subroutine VclRecv
+        [ ifStmt (var ["req", "http", "Host"] .==. stringLit "example.com")
+          [ setVar ["req", "backend"] (var ["my_backend"])
+          , returnWith "pass"
+          ]
+        ]
+      ]
+
+putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+```
+
+Output:
+```vcl
+sub vcl_recv {
+  if (req.http.Host == "example.com") {
+    set req.backend = my_backend;
+    return(pass);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Backend Definition
+
+```haskell
+let backend = TopLevelBackend $ Backend (Identifier "my_backend")
+      [ BackendHost "origin.example.com"
+      , BackendPort 443
+      , BackendSSL True
+      , BackendConnectTimeout "1s"
+      , BackendFirstByteTimeout "15s"
+      ]
+
+let vcl = VCL [backend]
+putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+```
+
+Output:
+```vcl
+backend my_backend {
+  .host = "origin.example.com";
+  .port = "443";
+  .ssl = true;
+  .connect_timeout = 1s;
+  .first_byte_timeout = 15s;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: ACL Definition
+
+```haskell
+let acl = TopLevelACL $ ACL (Identifier "allowed_ips")
+      [ ACLEntry False "192.168.1.0/24"
+      , ACLEntry False "10.0.0.0/8"
+      , ACLEntry True "10.0.1.100"  -- Negated
+      ]
+
+let vcl = VCL [acl]
+putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+```
+
+Output:
+```vcl
+acl allowed_ips {
+  "192.168.1.0/24";
+  "10.0.0.0/8";
+  !"10.0.1.100";
+}
+```
+
+### Example 4: Complex VCL with Multiple Features
+
+```haskell
+let vcl = VCL
+      [ -- Backend
+        TopLevelBackend $ Backend (Identifier "origin")
+          [ BackendHost "example.com"
+          , BackendPort 443
+          ]
+
+      , -- ACL
+        TopLevelACL $ ACL (Identifier "trusted")
+          [ ACLEntry False "192.168.0.0/16" ]
+
+      , -- vcl_recv
+        subroutine VclRecv
+          [ setVar ["req", "http", "X-Forwarded-For"]
+              (funcCall "client.ip" [])
+          , ifStmt (var ["req", "http", "Host"] .==. stringLit "example.com")
+              [ returnWith "lookup" ]
+          , returnWith "pass"
+          ]
+
+      , -- vcl_deliver
+        subroutine VclDeliver
+          [ setVar ["resp", "http", "X-Served-By"] (stringLit "Fastly")
+          , unsetVar ["resp", "http", "X-Internal"]
+          ]
+      ]
+
+putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+```
+
+## Validation
+
+The validation system performs semantic checks on VCL code to catch errors that are syntactically valid but semantically incorrect. This includes type checking, variable scope validation, reference validation, and control flow analysis.
+
+### Validation Functions
+
+```haskell
+validateVCL :: VCL -> ValidationResult VCL
+validateTopLevel :: TopLevel -> ValidationResult TopLevel
+validateSubroutine :: SubroutineContext -> Subroutine -> ValidationResult Subroutine
+validateStatement :: SubroutineContext -> Statement -> ValidationResult Statement
+validateExpr :: Expr -> ValidationResult Expr
+
+type ValidationResult a = Either [ValidationError] a
+```
+
+### Validation Errors
+
+The validation system can detect various types of errors:
+
+#### Variable Errors
+
+- `UndefinedVariable` - Variable used but not declared
+- `InvalidVariableContext` - Variable used in wrong subroutine (e.g., `req.*` in `vcl_deliver`)
+- `ReadOnlyVariable` - Attempted to modify read-only variable (e.g., `client.ip`)
+
+#### Type Errors
+
+- `TypeMismatch` - Type incompatibility in operations or assignments
+
+#### Reference Errors
+
+- `UndefinedSubroutine` - Called subroutine doesn't exist
+- `UndefinedBackend` - Referenced backend doesn't exist
+- `UndefinedACL` - Referenced ACL doesn't exist
+- `DuplicateDefinition` - Duplicate backend, ACL, or subroutine name
+
+#### Control Flow Errors
+
+- `InvalidReturnAction` - Invalid return action for subroutine context
+- `UnreachableCode` - Code after return/error/restart
+- `MissingReturn` - Predefined subroutine missing return statement
+
+### Subroutine Contexts
+
+Different VCL subroutines have different validation rules:
+
+```haskell
+data SubroutineContext
+  = RecvContext    -- vcl_recv - can use req.*, valid returns: lookup, pass, pipe, error, synth
+  | HashContext    -- vcl_hash - can use req.*, valid returns: lookup, hash
+  | HitContext     -- vcl_hit - can use obj.*, valid returns: deliver, pass, restart, synth
+  | MissContext    -- vcl_miss - valid returns: fetch, pass, synth, error
+  | PassContext    -- vcl_pass - valid returns: fetch, synth, error
+  | FetchContext   -- vcl_fetch - can use bereq.*, beresp.*, valid returns: deliver, restart
+  | ErrorContext   -- vcl_error - can use bereq.*, resp.*, valid returns: deliver, restart
+  | DeliverContext -- vcl_deliver - can use resp.*, obj.*, valid returns: deliver, restart
+  | LogContext     -- vcl_log - valid returns: deliver
+  | CustomContext  -- custom subroutine - lenient validation
+```
+
+### Validation Examples
+
+#### Example 1: Valid VCL
+
+```haskell
+let vclCode = unlines
+      [ "backend origin {"
+      , "  .host = \"example.com\";"
+      , "}"
+      , "sub vcl_recv {"
+      , "  set req.http.Host = \"example.com\";"
+      , "  return(pass);"
+      , "}"
+      ]
+
+case parseVCL vclCode >>= validateVCL of
+  Left errors -> mapM_ print errors
+  Right vcl -> putStrLn "Valid VCL!"
+```
+
+#### Example 2: Invalid Variable Context
+
+```haskell
+let vclCode = unlines
+      [ "sub vcl_deliver {"
+      , "  set req.http.Host = \"example.com\";"  -- ERROR: req.* not available in vcl_deliver
+      , "}"
+      ]
+
+case parseVCL vclCode >>= validateVCL of
+  Left errors -> print errors
+  -- Output: [InvalidVariableContext (Variable ["req","http","Host"]) DeliverContext]
+  Right _ -> putStrLn "Valid"
+```
+
+#### Example 3: Type Mismatch
+
+```haskell
+let vclCode = unlines
+      [ "sub vcl_recv {"
+      , "  if (42) {"  -- ERROR: if requires boolean condition
+      , "    return(pass);"
+      , "  }"
+      , "}"
+      ]
+
+case parseVCL vclCode >>= validateVCL of
+  Left errors -> print errors
+  -- Output: [TypeMismatch TBool TInteger "if condition"]
+  Right _ -> putStrLn "Valid"
+```
+
+#### Example 4: Invalid Return Action
+
+```haskell
+let vclCode = unlines
+      [ "sub vcl_recv {"
+      , "  return(deliver);"  -- ERROR: deliver not valid in vcl_recv
+      , "}"
+      ]
+
+case parseVCL vclCode >>= validateVCL of
+  Left errors -> print errors
+  -- Output: [InvalidReturnAction (Identifier "deliver") RecvContext]
+  Right _ -> putStrLn "Valid"
+```
+
+#### Example 5: Undefined Reference
+
+```haskell
+let vclCode = unlines
+      [ "sub vcl_recv {"
+      , "  call undefined_subroutine;"  -- ERROR: subroutine not defined
+      , "}"
+      ]
+
+case parseVCL vclCode >>= validateVCL of
+  Left errors -> print errors
+  -- Output: [UndefinedSubroutine (CustomSub "undefined_subroutine")]
+  Right _ -> putStrLn "Valid"
+```
+
+#### Example 6: Unreachable Code
+
+```haskell
+let vclCode = unlines
+      [ "sub vcl_recv {"
+      , "  return(pass);"
+      , "  set req.http.Host = \"example.com\";"  -- ERROR: unreachable
+      , "}"
+      ]
+
+case parseVCL vclCode >>= validateVCL of
+  Left errors -> print errors
+  -- Output: [UnreachableCode]
+  Right _ -> putStrLn "Valid"
+```

+### Render Functions
+
+```haskell
+renderVCL :: VCL -> Text
+renderVCLWith :: RenderConfig -> VCL -> Text
+
+data RenderConfig = RenderConfig

+defaultRenderConfig :: RenderConfig
+```
+
+### Pretty-printing
+
+For display purposes, you can use the pretty-printing functions:
+
+```haskell
+prettyVCL :: VCL -> Doc ann
+prettyTopLevel :: TopLevel -> Doc ann
+prettySubroutine :: Subroutine -> Doc ann
+prettyStatement :: Statement -> Doc ann
+prettyExpr :: Expr -> Doc ann
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The module includes comprehensive tests covering:
+
+- Expression parsing
+- Statement parsing
+- Subroutine parsing
+- Backend and ACL parsing
+- Pretty-printing
+- Round-trip parsing and rendering
+- Builder API
+- Validation (variable scope, type checking, references, control flow)
+
+Run tests with:
+```bash
+cabal test
+```
+
+## Limitations and Known Issues
+
+1. **VCL Version**: The parser supports core VCL syntax compatible with Fastly. Some advanced or version-specific features may not be fully supported.
+
+2. **Comments**: Comments are currently parsed and discarded during parsing. They are not preserved in the AST.
+
+3. **Whitespace**: While the pretty-printer produces nicely formatted code, it doesn't preserve the original whitespace from parsed code.
+
+4. **Error Recovery**: The parser uses standard megaparsec error recovery, which stops at the first syntax error.
+
+## Contributing
+
+When contributing VCL-related code:
+
+1. Add tests for new features
+2. Update documentation
+3. Ensure round-trip parsing works for new constructs
+4. Follow the existing code style

+Module      : Network.Fastly.VCL
+Description : Parsing, rendering, and generating Fastly VCL code
+Copyright   : (c) 2025 Ian Duncan
+License     : BSD3
+Maintainer  : ian@iankduncan.com
+Stability   : experimental
+
+This module provides comprehensive support for working with Fastly VCL
+(Varnish Configuration Language) code. It includes:
+
+* Parsing VCL from text
+* Rendering VCL AST to formatted text
+* Generating VCL programmatically using the AST
+* Validating VCL for semantic correctness
+
+= Usage Examples
+
+== Parsing VCL
+
+>>> import Network.Fastly.VCL
+>>> let vclCode = "sub vcl_recv { set req.http.Host = \"example.com\"; }"
+>>> case parseVCL vclCode of
+...   Left err -> print err
+...   Right vcl -> putStrLn "Parsed successfully!"
+
+== Generating VCL
+
+>>> import Network.Fastly.VCL
+>>> let vcl = VCL [TopLevelSubroutine $ Subroutine VclRecv [Set (Variable ["req", "http", "Host"]) (Lit $ LString "example.com")]]
+>>> putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+
+== Round-trip parsing and rendering
+
+>>> case parseVCL vclCode of
+...   Left err -> print err
+...   Right vcl -> putStrLn $ renderVCL vcl
+
+== Validating VCL
+
+>>> case parseVCL vclCode of
+...   Left err -> print err
+...   Right vcl -> case validateVCL vcl of
+...     Left errors -> mapM_ print errors
+...     Right _ -> putStrLn "VCL is valid!"
