+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite:
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p sal-service-manager
+```
+
+For Rhai integration tests:
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p sal-service-manager --features rhai
+```
+
+### Testing with Herodo
+
+To test the service manager with real Rhai scripts using herodo, first build herodo:
+
+```bash
+./build_herodo.sh
+```
+
+Then run Rhai scripts that use the service manager:
+
+```bash
+herodo your_service_script.rhai
+```
+
 ## Prerequisites
 
 ### Linux (zinit)

-# 🔧 Service Manager Production Readiness Fix Plan
-
-## 📋 Executive Summary
-
-This plan addresses all critical issues found in the service manager code review to achieve production readiness. The approach prioritizes quick fixes while maintaining code quality and stability.
-
-## 🚨 Critical Issues Identified
-
-1. **Runtime Creation Anti-Pattern** - Creating new tokio runtimes for every operation
-2. **Trait Design Inconsistency** - Sync/async method signature mismatches
-3. **Placeholder SystemdServiceManager** - Incomplete Linux implementation
-4. **Dangerous Patterns** - `unwrap()` calls and silent error handling
-5. **API Duplication** - Confusing `run()` method that duplicates `start_and_confirm()`
-6. **Dead Code** - Unused fields and methods
-7. **Broken Documentation** - Non-compiling README examples
-
-## 🎯 Solution Strategy: Fully Synchronous API
-
-**Decision**: Redesign the API to be fully synchronous for quick fixes and better resource management.
-
-**Rationale**:
-- Eliminates runtime creation anti-pattern
-- Simplifies the API surface
-- Reduces complexity and potential for async-related bugs
-- Easier to test and debug
-- Better performance for service management operations
-
-## 📝 Detailed Fix Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Core API Redesign (2 hours)
-
-#### 1.1 Fix Trait Definition
-- **File**: `src/lib.rs`
-- **Action**: Remove all `async` keywords from trait methods
-- **Remove**: `run()` method (duplicate of `start_and_confirm()`)
-- **Simplify**: Timeout handling in synchronous context
-
-#### 1.2 Update ZinitServiceManager
-- **File**: `src/zinit.rs`
-- **Action**: 
-  - Remove runtime creation anti-pattern
-  - Use single shared runtime or blocking operations
-  - Remove `execute_async_with_timeout` (dead code)
-  - Remove unused `socket_path` field
-  - Replace `unwrap()` calls with proper error handling
-  - Fix silent error handling in `remove()` method
-
-#### 1.3 Update LaunchctlServiceManager  
-- **File**: `src/launchctl.rs`
-- **Action**:
-  - Remove runtime creation from every method
-  - Use `tokio::task::block_in_place` for async operations
-  - Remove `run()` method duplication
-  - Fix silent error handling patterns
-
-### Phase 2: Complete SystemdServiceManager (3 hours)
-
-#### 2.1 Implement Core Functionality
-- **File**: `src/systemd.rs`
-- **Action**: Replace all placeholder implementations with real systemd integration
-- **Methods to implement**:
-  - `start()` - Use `systemctl start`
-  - `stop()` - Use `systemctl stop`  
-  - `restart()` - Use `systemctl restart`
-  - `status()` - Parse `systemctl status` output
-  - `logs()` - Use `journalctl` for log retrieval
-  - `list()` - Parse `systemctl list-units`
-  - `remove()` - Use `systemctl disable` and remove unit files
-
-#### 2.2 Add Unit File Management
-- **Action**: Implement systemd unit file creation and management
-- **Features**:
-  - Generate `.service` files from `ServiceConfig`
-  - Handle user vs system service placement
-  - Proper file permissions and ownership
-
-### Phase 3: Error Handling & Safety (1 hour)
-
-#### 3.1 Remove Dangerous Patterns
-- **Action**: Replace all `unwrap()` calls with proper error handling
-- **Files**: All implementation files
-- **Pattern**: `unwrap()` → `map_err()` with descriptive errors
-
-#### 3.2 Fix Silent Error Handling
-- **Action**: Replace `let _ = ...` patterns with proper error handling
-- **Strategy**: Log errors or propagate them appropriately
-
-### Phase 4: Testing & Documentation (1 hour)
-
-#### 4.1 Fix README Examples
-- **File**: `README.md`
-- **Action**: Update all code examples to match synchronous API
-- **Add**: Proper error handling examples
-- **Add**: Platform-specific usage notes
-
-#### 4.2 Update Tests
-- **Action**: Ensure all tests work with synchronous API
-- **Fix**: Remove async test patterns where not needed
-- **Add**: Error handling test cases
-
-## 🔧 Implementation Details
-
-### Runtime Strategy for Async Operations
-
-Since we're keeping the API synchronous but some underlying operations (like zinit-client) are async:
-
-```rust
-// Use a lazy static runtime for async operations
-use once_cell::sync::Lazy;
-use tokio::runtime::Runtime;
-
-static ASYNC_RUNTIME: Lazy<Runtime> = Lazy::new(|| {
-    Runtime::new().expect("Failed to create async runtime")
-});
-
-// In methods that need async operations:
-fn some_method(&self) -> Result<T, ServiceManagerError> {
-    ASYNC_RUNTIME.block_on(async {
-        // async operations here
-    })
-}
-```
-
-### SystemdServiceManager Implementation Strategy
-
-```rust
-// Use std::process::Command for systemctl operations
-fn run_systemctl(&self, args: &[&str]) -> Result<String, ServiceManagerError> {
-    let output = std::process::Command::new("systemctl")
-        .args(args)
-        .output()
-        .map_err(|e| ServiceManagerError::Other(format!("systemctl failed: {}", e)))?;
-    
-    if !output.status.success() {
-        let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
-        return Err(ServiceManagerError::Other(format!("systemctl error: {}", stderr)));
-    }
-    
-    Ok(String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout).to_string())
-}
-```
-
-## ⏱️ Timeline
-
-- **Phase 1**: 2 hours - Core API redesign
-- **Phase 2**: 3 hours - SystemdServiceManager implementation  
-- **Phase 3**: 1 hour - Error handling & safety
-- **Phase 4**: 1 hour - Testing & documentation
-
-**Total Estimated Time**: 7 hours
-
-## ✅ Success Criteria
-
-1. **No Runtime Creation Anti-Pattern** - Single shared runtime or proper blocking
-2. **Complete Linux Support** - Fully functional SystemdServiceManager
-3. **No Placeholder Code** - All methods have real implementations
-4. **No Dangerous Patterns** - No `unwrap()` or silent error handling
-5. **Clean API** - No duplicate methods, clear purpose for each method
-6. **Working Documentation** - All README examples compile and run
-7. **Comprehensive Tests** - All tests pass and cover error cases
-
-## 🚀 Post-Fix Validation
-
-1. **Compile Check**: `cargo check` passes without warnings
-2. **Test Suite**: `cargo test` passes all tests
-3. **Documentation**: `cargo doc` generates without errors
-4. **Example Validation**: README examples compile and run
-5. **Performance Test**: No resource leaks under repeated operations
-
-## 📦 Dependencies to Add
-
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-once_cell = "1.19"  # For lazy static runtime
-```
-
-This plan ensures production readiness while maintaining the quick-fix approach requested by the team lead.
