+## Why This Project Exists
+
+Kubernetes doesn't provide a native way to share resources like Secrets, ConfigMaps, or custom resources across namespaces. Existing solutions either:
+- Watch all resources cluster-wide (massive API overhead)
+- Require manual duplication (maintenance nightmare)
+- Only support specific resource types (not extensible)
+- Don't detect drift or handle cleanup properly
+
+KubeMirror solves this with:
+- **Server-side filtering** - 90%+ reduction in API load vs. watch-all approaches
+- **Universal support** - Works with any Kubernetes resource type including CRDs
+- **Intelligent sync** - Multi-layer change detection avoids unnecessary updates
+- **Production-ready** - Leader election, metrics, graceful shutdown, comprehensive testing
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Universal Resource Support**: Mirror any Kubernetes resource type - Secrets, ConfigMaps, Ingresses, Services, CRDs, and more
+| Category | Feature |
-- **Auto-Discovery**: Automatically discovers all mirrorable resources in the cluster with periodic refresh
+|----------|---------|
-- **Efficient Mirroring**: Mirror resources to specific namespaces, pattern-matched namespaces, or all namespaces
+| **Resources** | Mirror any Kubernetes resource type - Secrets, ConfigMaps, Ingresses, Services, CRDs, and more |
-- **Content Change Detection**: Multi-layer strategy (generation field + content hash) to avoid unnecessary syncs
+| **Resources** | Auto-discovery of all mirrorable resources with periodic refresh |
-- **API-Friendly**: Cluster-scoped watches with server-side filtering reduce API server load by 90%+
+| **Resources** | Safety deny list prevents mirroring dangerous resources (Pods, Events, Nodes) |
-- **Production-Ready**: Leader election, health checks, metrics, graceful shutdown
+| **Targeting** | Mirror to specific namespaces, pattern-matched namespaces (`app-*`), or all labeled namespaces |
-- **Drift Detection**: Automatically fixes manually modified target resources
+| **Targeting** | Configurable maximum targets per source (default: 100) |
-- **Pattern Matching**: Support glob patterns like `app-*`, `prod-*`
+| **Targeting** | Namespace opt-in required for "all-labeled" mirrors |
-- **Safety Limits**: Configurable maximum targets, namespace opt-in for "all" mirrors
+| **Sync** | Multi-layer change detection: generation field + SHA256 content hash |
-- **Finalizer-based Cleanup**: Ensures all mirrors are deleted when source is removed
+| **Sync** | Automatic drift detection and correction for manually modified mirrors |
+| **Sync** | Finalizer-based cleanup ensures mirrors are deleted with source |
+| **Sync** | Metadata filtering - source kubemirror labels/annotations never copied to mirrors |
+| **Transform** | Modify resources during mirroring with transformation rules |
+| **Transform** | Static values, Go templates, map merging, and field deletion |
+| **Transform** | Template functions: upper, lower, replace, trimPrefix, default, etc. |
+| **Transform** | Sandboxed execution with timeout protection and size limits |
+| **Performance** | Cluster-scoped watches with server-side filtering (label selector) |
+| **Performance** | O(1) reverse lookups via field indexing (target → source) |
+| **Performance** | Configurable worker threads and rate limiting |
+| **Production** | Leader election for high availability |
+| **Production** | Prometheus metrics with recording rules and alerts |
+| **Production** | Graceful shutdown with proper cleanup |
+| **Production** | Comprehensive health checks and readiness probes |

-## Architecture
+### Mirror Custom Resources (CRDs)
 
-- **Discovery Manager**: Auto-discovers all mirrorable resource types with periodic refresh
+KubeMirror works with any custom resource:
-- **Source Reconciler**: Watches labeled resources, creates/updates mirrors
+
-- **Target Reconciler**: Watches mirrored resources, detects drift and orphans
+```yaml
-- **Namespace Reconciler**: Watches namespace creation, auto-creates mirrors for patterns
+apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
-- **Content Hash**: SHA256 of actual content (excludes Kubernetes metadata)
+kind: Middleware
-- **Field Indexing**: O(1) lookups for reverse references (target → source)
+metadata:
-- **Safety Filtering**: Deny list prevents mirroring dangerous resources (Pods, Events, etc.)

+spec:

+```
+
+### Transformation Rules
+
+KubeMirror supports powerful transformation rules that modify resources during mirroring. This enables environment-specific configurations, security hardening, and dynamic value generation.
+
+**Basic Example - Environment-Specific Values:**
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: app-config
+  namespace: default
+  labels:
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/enabled: "true"
+  annotations:
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/sync: "true"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/target-namespaces: "dev-*,staging-*,prod-*"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+      rules:
+        # Set log level to error in production
+        - path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+          value: "error"
+
+        # Generate namespace-specific API URLs
+        - path: data.API_URL
+          template: "https://{{.TargetNamespace}}.api.example.com"
+
+        # Add environment labels
+        - path: metadata.labels
+          merge:
+            environment: "production"
+
+        # Remove debug configurations
+        - path: data.DEBUG_MODE
+          delete: true
+data:
+  LOG_LEVEL: "debug"
+  API_URL: "https://localhost:8080"
+  DEBUG_MODE: "true"
+```
+
+**Transformation Rule Types:**
+
+| Type | Purpose | Example |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| `value` | Set static value | `value: "production"` |
+| `template` | Dynamic Go template | `template: "{{.TargetNamespace}}-app"` |
+| `merge` | Add map entries | `merge: {key: "value"}` |
+| `delete` | Remove field | `delete: true` |
+
+**Template Variables:**
+- `.TargetNamespace` - Target namespace name
+- `.SourceNamespace` - Source namespace name
+- `.SourceName` - Source resource name
+- `.TargetName` - Mirror resource name
+- `.Labels` - Source labels map
+- `.Annotations` - Source annotations map
+
+**Template Functions:**
+- `upper`, `lower` - Case conversion
+- `replace` - String replacement: `{{replace .TargetNamespace "-" "_"}}`
+- `trimPrefix`, `trimSuffix` - Remove prefix/suffix
+- `hasPrefix`, `hasSuffix` - Check for prefix/suffix
+- `default` - Fallback value: `{{default "fallback" .Field}}`
+
+**Array Indexing:**
+
+Transform specific array elements using bracket notation:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      # Container image
+      - path: spec.template.spec.containers[0].image
+        template: "registry.{{.TargetNamespace}}.example.com/app:v1"
+
+      # Environment variable
+      - path: spec.template.spec.containers[0].env[1].value
+        template: "postgres://{{.TargetNamespace}}-db.svc:5432"
+
+      # Volume ConfigMap reference
+      - path: spec.template.spec.volumes[0].configMap.name
+        template: "{{.TargetNamespace}}-config"
+```
+
+Common paths: `containers[N].image`, `containers[N].env[M].value`, `initContainers[N].image`, `volumes[N].configMap.name`
+
+**Namespace Patterns:**
+
+Apply rules conditionally based on target namespace using glob patterns:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      # Global rule (no pattern) - applies to ALL namespaces
+      - path: data.APP_NAME
+        value: "my-app"
+
+      # Only preprod namespaces (preprod-*)
+      - path: data.GRAPHQL_HOST
+        value: "https://preprod.example.com/v1/graphql"
+        namespacePattern: "preprod-*"
+
+      # Only production namespaces (prod-*)
+      - path: data.GRAPHQL_HOST
+        value: "https://api.example.com/v1/graphql"
+        namespacePattern: "prod-*"
+
+      # Staging environments (*-staging)
+      - path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+        value: "warn"
+        namespacePattern: "*-staging"
+```
+
+**Pattern Syntax:**
+- `*` - Matches zero or more characters
+- `?` - Matches exactly one character
+- Examples: `preprod-*`, `*-staging`, `namespace-?`, `prod-*-v?`
+- No pattern or empty pattern matches all namespaces
+
+**Strict Mode:**
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform-strict: "true"  # Fail mirroring on transformation errors
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      - path: data.CRITICAL_VALUE
+        value: "must-succeed"
+```
+
+**Security Example - Remove Sensitive Data:**
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Secret
+metadata:
+  name: app-credentials
+  namespace: default
+  labels:
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/enabled: "true"
+  annotations:
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/sync: "true"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/target-namespaces: "app-*"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+      rules:
+        # Remove admin credentials from mirrors
+        - path: data.ADMIN_PASSWORD
+          delete: true
+        - path: data.ROOT_TOKEN
+          delete: true
+
+        # Create namespace-specific database hosts
+        - path: data.DB_HOST
+          template: "{{.TargetNamespace}}.postgres.svc.cluster.local"
+type: Opaque
+stringData:
+  APP_KEY: "app-key-12345"
+  ADMIN_PASSWORD: "super-secret"
+  ROOT_TOKEN: "root-token-xyz"
+  DB_HOST: "localhost"
+```
+
+**Performance & Security:**
+- **Sandboxed Execution**: Templates run in a secure environment with no file/network access
+- **Timeout Protection**: 100ms execution limit per template (configurable)
+- **Size Limits**: Max 50 rules per resource, 10KB total rule size (configurable)
+- **Overhead**: <1ms average transformation time per mirror
+
+See [examples/transform-configmap.yaml](examples/transform-configmap.yaml), [examples/transform-secret.yaml](examples/transform-secret.yaml), and [examples/transform-deployment.yaml](examples/transform-deployment.yaml) for comprehensive examples including array indexing.

 **Auto-Discovery Mode (Default):**
-When `resourceTypes` is empty (default), KubeMirror:
+
-1. Scans all available API resources in the cluster
+When `resourceTypes` is empty, KubeMirror:
+1. Scans all available API resources via Kubernetes discovery API
 2. Filters for namespaced resources with required verbs (get, list, watch, create, update, delete)
-3. Excludes dangerous resources (Pods, Events, Nodes, etc.) using a deny list
+3. Excludes dangerous resources using a comprehensive deny list
-4. Periodically rediscovers resources (default: every 5 minutes) to detect new CRDs or resource types

-### Safety Features
+**Safety Features:**
 
-Auto-discovery includes built-in safety:
+- **Deny List:** Never mirrors: Pods, Events, Nodes, Endpoints, EndpointSlice, Leases, PersistentVolumes, and other cluster-scoped or dangerous resources
-- **Deny List**: Never mirrors Pods, Events, Nodes, Endpoints, Leases, etc.
+- **Namespaced Only:** Only discovers namespaced resources (cluster-scoped excluded)
-- **Namespaced Only**: Only discovers namespaced resources (cluster-scoped are excluded)
+- **Verb Filtering:** Resources must support all CRUD operations
-- **Verb Filtering**: Resources must support all required CRUD operations
+- **Opt-In Required:** Resources must have `kubemirror.raczylo.com/enabled: "true"` label
-- **Opt-In Required**: Resources must have `kubemirror.raczylo.com/enabled: "true"` label
 
-### Monitoring Discovery
+**Monitoring Discovery:**
 
-View discovered resources in the logs:
 ```bash
+# View discovered resources
 kubectl logs -n kubemirror-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubemirror | grep "resource discovery"
+
+# Check discovery manager startup
+kubectl logs -n kubemirror-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubemirror | grep "discovery manager"
 ```
 
-## Examples
+## Architecture
 
-See the [examples/](examples/) directory for complete working examples including:
+### Components
-- Secrets mirrored to all namespaces
+
-- ConfigMaps mirrored to specific namespaces
+- **Discovery Manager**: Automatically discovers all mirrorable resource types with periodic refresh
-- Traefik Middlewares (custom resources) mirroring
+- **Source Reconciler**: Watches labeled source resources, creates/updates mirrors across target namespaces
-- Comprehensive testing scenarios
+- **Target Reconciler**: Watches mirrored resources, detects drift and orphans, triggers re-sync when needed
+- **Namespace Reconciler**: Watches namespace creation, auto-creates mirrors when new namespaces match patterns
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Opt-In via Labels** - Source resources must have `kubemirror.raczylo.com/enabled: "true"` label for server-side filtering
+2. **Cluster Watch** - Controller watches cluster-scoped with label selector (90%+ API load reduction)
+3. **Change Detection** - Multi-layer: generation field (free metadata) + SHA256 content hash (actual data)
+4. **Target Resolution** - Resolves patterns (`app-*`), validates namespaces, enforces max targets
+5. **Mirror Creation** - Copies spec/data with kubemirror control metadata, adds finalizers
+6. **Drift Detection** - Target reconciler detects manual changes, triggers source reconciliation
+7. **Cleanup** - Finalizers ensure all mirrors deleted before source removal
+
+### Performance Optimizations
+
+- **Server-Side Filtering:** Label selector in watch predicate reduces event volume by 90%+
+- **Field Indexing:** O(1) reverse lookups for target → source relationships
+- **Content Hashing:** SHA256 hash avoids deep equality checks and unnecessary API calls
+- **Generation Field:** Free change detection from Kubernetes metadata before content hash
+- **Worker Pools:** Concurrent reconciliation with configurable parallelism
+- **Rate Limiting:** Protects API server with configurable QPS and burst
+- **Bounded Queues:** Prevents memory leaks under high load
+
+## Supported Resources
+
+KubeMirror can mirror any namespaced Kubernetes resource that supports standard CRUD operations:
+
+| Resource Type | Support Level | Notes |
+|---------------|---------------|-------|
+| **Core Resources** | | |
+| Secret | ✅ Full | Includes all secret types (Opaque, TLS, etc.) |
+| ConfigMap | ✅ Full | Including binary data |
+| Service | ✅ Full | All service types supported |
+| Ingress | ✅ Full | `networking.k8s.io/v1` |
+| **Traefik CRDs** | | |
+| Middleware | ✅ Full | `traefik.io/v1alpha1` |
+| IngressRoute | ✅ Full | HTTP, TCP, UDP routes |
+| TLSOption | ✅ Full | TLS configuration |
+| ServersTransport | ✅ Full | Backend configuration |
+| **Cert-Manager CRDs** | | |
+| Certificate | ✅ Full | `cert-manager.io/v1` |
+| Issuer | ✅ Full | Namespace-scoped issuers |
+| **Other CRDs** | ✅ Full | Any custom resource with namespaced scope |
+| **Excluded Resources** | | |
+| Pod | ❌ Never | Too dynamic, deny-listed |
+| Event | ❌ Never | Ephemeral, deny-listed |
+| Endpoint | ❌ Never | Auto-managed, deny-listed |
+| Lease | ❌ Never | Leader election, deny-listed |
+| PersistentVolume | ❌ Never | Cluster-scoped |
+| Namespace | ❌ Never | Cluster-scoped |
+
+**Auto-Discovery** automatically finds all supported resources. The deny list is comprehensive and prevents mirroring of dangerous or inappropriate resources.
+
+## Monitoring
+
+KubeMirror exposes Prometheus metrics and includes production-ready monitoring resources:
 
 ```bash
-# Apply examples
+# Deploy ServiceMonitor for Prometheus Operator
-kubectl apply -k examples/
+kubectl apply -f monitoring/servicemonitor.yaml
 
-# Watch mirroring in action
+# Deploy Alert Rules
-kubectl logs -n kubemirror-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubemirror -f
+kubectl apply -f monitoring/prometheusrule.yaml
+
+# Import Grafana dashboard
+# Use monitoring/grafana-dashboard.json in Grafana UI
+```
+
+**Key Metrics:**
+
+- `kubemirror_reconcile_total` - Total reconciliations by controller and result
+- `kubemirror_reconcile_duration_seconds` - Reconciliation latency histogram
+- `kubemirror_mirror_resources_total` - Number of mirrors by namespace and source type
+- `kubemirror_sync_errors_total` - Sync failures by controller and error type
+- `workqueue_depth` - Current queue depth per controller
+- `workqueue_adds_total` - Total items added to queues
+
+**Alert Examples:**
+
+- High reconciliation error rate
+- Mirror resource sync lag
+- Queue depth consistently high
+- Discovery manager failures
+
+See [monitoring/README.md](monitoring/README.md) for complete setup including:
+- Recording rules for performance analysis
+- Alert rules for operational issues
+- Grafana dashboard with KPIs and SLOs
+
+## Production Recommendations
+
+### High-Throughput Configuration
+
+For large clusters (500+ namespaces, 2000+ mirrors):
+
+```yaml
+controller:
+  maxTargets: 200
+  workerThreads: 20
+  rateLimitQPS: 200.0
+  rateLimitBurst: 500
+  discoveryInterval: "10m"  # Less frequent rediscovery
+
+resources:
+  limits:
+    cpu: 2000m
+    memory: 1Gi
+  requests:
+    cpu: 500m
+    memory: 256Mi
+```
+
+### Multi-Tenant Configuration
+
+For strict namespace isolation:
+
+```yaml
+controller:
+  maxTargets: 50  # Limit blast radius
+  workerThreads: 10
+  excludedNamespaces: "kube-system,kube-public,kube-node-lease,kubemirror-system"
+
+  # Explicit resource types for security
+  resourceTypes:
+    - "Secret.v1"
+    - "ConfigMap.v1"
+```
+
+### Development Configuration
+
+For local testing:
+
+```yaml
+controller:
+  leaderElect: false  # Single instance
+  maxTargets: 20
+  workerThreads: 2
+  rateLimitQPS: 10.0
+  rateLimitBurst: 20
+  discoveryInterval: "1m"  # Faster iteration
+
+resources:
+  limits:
+    cpu: 200m
+    memory: 128Mi
+  requests:
+    cpu: 50m
+    memory: 64Mi
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Mirrors not created**
+   - Verify source has `kubemirror.raczylo.com/enabled: "true"` label
+   - Check `kubemirror.raczylo.com/sync: "true"` annotation exists
+   - Validate target namespace exists and matches pattern
+   - Check controller logs for errors: `kubectl logs -n kubemirror-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubemirror`
+
+2. **"Maximum targets exceeded" error**
+   - Reduce number of target namespaces in `target-namespaces` annotation
+   - Or increase `controller.maxTargets` in Helm values
+   - Check logs: `kubectl logs -n kubemirror-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubemirror | grep "maximum targets"`
+
+3. **Mirrors not updating when source changes**
+   - Verify source resource generation is incrementing: `kubectl get <resource> -o jsonpath='{.metadata.generation}'`
+   - Check content hash calculation in logs
+   - Ensure target reconciler is running: `kubectl get pods -n kubemirror-system`
+
+4. **High API server load**
+   - Reduce `controller.rateLimitQPS` and `controller.rateLimitBurst`
+   - Decrease `controller.workerThreads`
+   - Increase `controller.discoveryInterval` for less frequent rediscovery
+   - Check metrics: `kubectl port-forward -n kubemirror-system svc/kubemirror 8080:8080`
+
+5. **Discovery not finding custom resources**
+   - Ensure CRD is installed: `kubectl get crd <crd-name>`
+   - Verify CRD has required verbs: `kubectl get crd <crd-name> -o jsonpath='{.spec.versions[0].storage}'`
+   - Check discovery logs: `kubectl logs -n kubemirror-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubemirror | grep "discovery"`
+
+6. **Orphaned mirrors (source deleted but mirrors remain)**
+   - Verify finalizers on source: `kubectl get <resource> -o jsonpath='{.metadata.finalizers}'`
+   - Check target reconciler logs for cleanup errors
+   - Manually remove finalizer if needed: `kubectl patch <resource> -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}'`
+
+7. **"all-labeled" not working**
+   - Verify target namespaces have `kubemirror.raczylo.com/allow-mirrors: "true"` label
+   - Check namespace reconciler logs
+   - Validate namespace watch is active
+
+8. **Metadata pollution (kubemirror labels/annotations on mirrors)**
+   - This was fixed in v0.2.0+
+   - Upgrade to latest version
+   - Manually clean up old mirrors if needed
+
+### Debugging
+
+**Enable Debug Logging:**
+```bash
+# Edit deployment to set log level
+kubectl edit deployment -n kubemirror-system kubemirror
+
+# Add env var:
+# - name: LOG_LEVEL
+#   value: "debug"
+```
+
+**Check Metrics:**
+```bash
+# Port-forward metrics endpoint
+kubectl port-forward -n kubemirror-system svc/kubemirror 8080:8080
+
+# Query metrics
+curl http://localhost:8080/metrics | grep kubemirror
+```
+
+**Verify RBAC:**
+```bash
+# Check ClusterRole permissions
+kubectl get clusterrole kubemirror -o yaml
+
+# Verify ServiceAccount
+kubectl get sa -n kubemirror-system kubemirror
+kubectl get clusterrolebinding kubemirror
+```
+
+**Test Resource Discovery:**
+```bash
+# Watch discovery manager logs
+kubectl logs -n kubemirror-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubemirror -f | grep "discovery manager"
+
+# Force rediscovery by restarting pod
+kubectl rollout restart deployment -n kubemirror-system kubemirror
 ```

+
+KubeMirror is now running and will automatically mirror resources across namespaces.
+
+To mirror a Secret or ConfigMap, add this LABEL and ANNOTATIONS:
+
+  # Label (required for server-side filtering):
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/enabled: "true"
+
+  # Annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/sync: "true"

+
+Or use "all" to mirror to all namespaces with the allow-mirrors label:
+
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/target-namespaces: "all"
+
+To allow a namespace to receive mirrored resources, add this label:
+
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/allow-mirrors: "true"

+## Transformation Rules
+
+KubeMirror supports transformation rules that modify resources during mirroring. This enables environment-specific configurations, security hardening, and dynamic value generation.
+
+### Transformation Examples
+
+The repository includes comprehensive transformation examples in `transform-configmap.yaml` and `transform-secret.yaml`. These demonstrate:
+
+1. **Static Value Transformation** - Replace values with constants
+2. **Template-Based Transformation** - Generate dynamic values using Go templates
+3. **Merge Transformation** - Add labels, annotations, or map entries
+4. **Delete Transformation** - Remove sensitive or environment-specific fields
+5. **Multi-Rule Transformations** - Combine multiple transformation types
+
+### Quick Start with Transformations
+
+```bash
+# Apply transformation examples
+kubectl apply -f examples/transform-configmap.yaml
+kubectl apply -f examples/transform-secret.yaml
+
+# Verify transformed ConfigMap
+kubectl get configmap app-config-template -n namespace-2 -o yaml
+
+# Check that the API_URL was transformed for namespace-2
+kubectl get configmap app-config-template -n namespace-2 \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.API_URL}'
+# Expected: https://namespace-2.api.example.com
+```
+
+### Transformation Rule Types
+
+#### 1. Value Rules (Static Replacement)
+
+Replace a field with a static value:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      - path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+        value: "error"
+```
+
+#### 2. Template Rules (Dynamic Generation)
+
+Use Go templates with context variables:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      - path: data.API_URL
+        template: "https://{{.TargetNamespace}}.api.example.com"
+```
+
+**Available template variables:**
+- `.TargetNamespace` - Namespace where mirror is created
+- `.SourceNamespace` - Original resource namespace
+- `.SourceName` - Original resource name
+- `.TargetName` - Mirror resource name
+- `.Labels` - Map of source labels
+- `.Annotations` - Map of source annotations
+
+**Template functions:**
+- `upper` - Convert to uppercase
+- `lower` - Convert to lowercase
+- `replace` - String replacement: `{{replace .TargetNamespace "-" "_"}}`
+- `trimPrefix` - Remove prefix: `{{trimPrefix .TargetNamespace "namespace-"}}`
+- `trimSuffix` - Remove suffix
+- `hasPrefix` - Check for prefix
+- `hasSuffix` - Check for suffix
+- `default` - Provide fallback: `{{default "fallback" .OptionalField}}`
+
+#### 3. Merge Rules (Add Entries)
+
+Merge additional entries into maps (labels, annotations, data):
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      - path: metadata.labels
+        merge:
+          environment: "production"
+          managed-by: "kubemirror"
+```
+
+#### 4. Delete Rules (Remove Fields)
+
+Remove sensitive or unnecessary fields:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      - path: data.DEBUG_MODE
+        delete: true
+      - path: data.ADMIN_PASSWORD
+        delete: true
+```
+
+### Array Indexing
+
+Transform specific elements in arrays using bracket notation `[index]`:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      # Update first container's image
+      - path: spec.template.spec.containers[0].image
+        template: "registry.{{.TargetNamespace}}.example.com/app:v1"
+
+      # Update second environment variable
+      - path: spec.template.spec.containers[0].env[1].value
+        template: "postgres://{{.TargetNamespace}}-db.svc.cluster.local:5432"
+
+      # Update nested arrays (container → env vars → value)
+      - path: spec.template.spec.containers[0].env[2].value
+        value: "production"
+
+      # Update volume ConfigMap reference
+      - path: spec.template.spec.volumes[0].configMap.name
+        template: "{{.TargetNamespace}}-config"
+```
+
+**Common use cases for array indexing:**
+- Container images: `spec.template.spec.containers[0].image`
+- Environment variables: `spec.template.spec.containers[0].env[N].value`
+- Volume mounts: `spec.template.spec.containers[0].volumeMounts[N].mountPath`
+- Init containers: `spec.template.spec.initContainers[0].image`
+- Volume references: `spec.template.spec.volumes[N].configMap.name`
+- Resource limits: `spec.template.spec.containers[0].resources.limits.memory`
+
+**Important notes:**
+- Array indexes are zero-based (`[0]` is the first element)
+- Index must be within array bounds or transformation will fail
+- Use with strict mode to catch out-of-bounds errors
+- See `transform-deployment.yaml` for comprehensive Deployment examples
+
+### Namespace Patterns
+
+Apply transformation rules conditionally based on target namespace patterns using glob-style matching.
+
+#### Basic Pattern Matching
+
+Limit a rule to specific namespaces using the `namespacePattern` field:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      # Only apply to preprod namespaces
+      - path: data.GRAPHQL_HOST
+        value: "https://preprod.example.com/v1/graphql"
+        namespacePattern: "preprod-*"
+
+      # Only apply to production namespaces
+      - path: data.GRAPHQL_HOST
+        value: "https://api.example.com/v1/graphql"
+        namespacePattern: "prod-*"
+```
+
+#### Supported Pattern Syntax
+
+- `*` - Matches zero or more characters
+- `?` - Matches exactly one character
+- No pattern or empty pattern - Matches all namespaces
+
+**Examples:**
+- `preprod-*` - Matches `preprod-api`, `preprod-worker`, `preprod-db`
+- `*-staging` - Matches `app-staging`, `api-staging`
+- `prod-*-v?` - Matches `prod-api-v1`, `prod-db-v2`
+- `namespace-?` - Matches `namespace-1`, `namespace-2` (single digit only)
+
+#### Pattern Matching Rules
+
+1. **Rules without patterns** apply to **all namespaces**
+2. **Rules with patterns** only apply when the pattern matches the target namespace
+3. **Multiple rules with different patterns** can coexist - each is evaluated independently
+4. **Pattern matching is case-sensitive**
+
+#### Example: Environment-Specific Configuration
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      # Global rule - applies to all namespaces
+      - path: data.APP_NAME
+        value: "my-app"
+
+      # Preprod configuration
+      - path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+        value: "debug"
+        namespacePattern: "preprod-*"
+
+      - path: data.DATABASE_URL
+        template: "postgres://{{.TargetNamespace}}.db.preprod.example.com:5432"
+        namespacePattern: "preprod-*"
+
+      # Production configuration
+      - path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+        value: "error"
+        namespacePattern: "prod-*"
+
+      - path: data.DATABASE_URL
+        template: "postgres://{{.TargetNamespace}}.db.prod.example.com:5432"
+        namespacePattern: "prod-*"
+```
+
+In this example:
+- `data.APP_NAME` is set in **all** mirrored namespaces
+- `data.LOG_LEVEL` is `debug` in preprod namespaces, `error` in prod namespaces
+- `data.DATABASE_URL` is environment-specific based on the namespace pattern
+
+#### Combining Patterns with Templates
+
+Namespace patterns work seamlessly with template rules:
+
+```yaml
+rules:
+  # Apply different API endpoints based on namespace
+  - path: data.API_ENDPOINT
+    template: "https://{{.TargetNamespace}}.api.preprod.com"
+    namespacePattern: "preprod-*"
+
+  - path: data.API_ENDPOINT
+    template: "https://{{.TargetNamespace}}.api.example.com"
+    namespacePattern: "prod-*"
+```
+
+#### Pattern Verification
+
+```bash
+# Verify preprod pattern matching
+kubectl get configmap app-config-pattern -n preprod-api \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.GRAPHQL_HOST}'
+# Expected: https://preprod.example.com/v1/graphql
+
+kubectl get configmap app-config-pattern -n prod-api \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.GRAPHQL_HOST}'
+# Expected: https://api.example.com/v1/graphql
+
+# Verify multi-pattern configuration
+kubectl get configmap app-config-multipattern -n namespace-2 \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.ENVIRONMENT}'
+# Expected: development
+
+kubectl get configmap app-config-multipattern -n preprod-api \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.ENVIRONMENT}'
+# Expected: preproduction
+```
+
+### Strict Mode
+
+By default, transformation errors are logged but don't block mirroring. Enable strict mode to fail mirroring on transformation errors:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform-strict: "true"
+  kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+    rules:
+      - path: data.CRITICAL_VALUE
+        value: "must-succeed"
+```
+
+### Transformation Verification
+
+```bash
+# Check static value transformation
+kubectl get configmap app-config-static -n namespace-2 \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.LOG_LEVEL}'
+# Expected: error
+
+# Check template transformation
+kubectl get configmap app-config-template -n namespace-3 \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.API_URL}'
+# Expected: https://namespace-3.api.example.com
+
+# Check merge transformation (labels should include new entries)
+kubectl get configmap app-config-merge -n namespace-2 -o yaml | grep -A 5 labels
+# Should include: environment: production, managed-by: kubemirror
+
+# Check delete transformation (fields should be removed)
+kubectl get configmap app-config-delete -n namespace-2 -o yaml | grep DEBUG_MODE
+# Should return nothing (field deleted)
+
+# Check Secret transformations
+kubectl get secret database-credentials -n namespace-2 \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.DB_HOST}' | base64 -d
+# Expected: namespace-2.postgres.svc.cluster.local
+```
+
+### Common Transformation Patterns
+
+#### Environment-Specific Configuration
+
+```yaml
+rules:
+  - path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+    template: |
+      {{- if hasPrefix .TargetNamespace "prod-" -}}
+      error
+      {{- else if hasPrefix .TargetNamespace "staging-" -}}
+      warn
+      {{- else -}}
+      debug
+      {{- end }}
+```
+
+#### Namespace-Based Service Discovery
+
+```yaml
+rules:
+  - path: data.DATABASE_HOST
+    template: "postgres.{{.TargetNamespace}}.svc.cluster.local"
+
+  - path: data.REDIS_HOST
+    template: "redis.{{.TargetNamespace}}.svc.cluster.local"
+```
+
+#### Security Hardening
+
+```yaml
+rules:
+  # Remove development credentials
+  - path: data.DEV_API_KEY
+    delete: true
+
+  # Set production encryption
+  - path: data.ENCRYPTION_STRENGTH
+    value: "AES-256"
+
+  # Add security labels
+  - path: metadata.labels
+    merge:
+      security-tier: "high"
+      encrypted: "true"
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting Transformations
+
+```bash
+# View transformation errors in controller logs
+kubectl logs -n kubemirror-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubemirror | grep -i transform
+
+# Check if strict mode is blocking mirroring
+kubectl get events --all-namespaces | grep -i "transformation.*failed"
+
+# Verify transformation annotation is valid YAML
+kubectl get configmap <name> -n <namespace> \
+  -o jsonpath='{.metadata.annotations.kubemirror\.raczylo\.com/transform}' | yq eval -
+```
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+- **Rule Limit**: Maximum 50 rules per resource (configurable)
+- **Rule Size**: Maximum 10KB of YAML per resource (configurable)
+- **Template Timeout**: 100ms per template execution (configurable)
+- **Overhead**: <1ms average transformation time per mirror
+
+### Security Notes
+
+1. **Template Sandboxing**: Templates execute in a sandboxed environment with no file, network, or command access
+2. **Timeout Protection**: Template execution is strictly time-limited to prevent DoS
+3. **Size Limits**: Rules have size limits to prevent resource exhaustion
+4. **No Code Execution**: Templates use predefined safe functions only

+# Transformation Rules Design
+
+## Overview
+
+Transformation rules allow users to modify resources during mirroring. Rules are specified in the `kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform` annotation as YAML.
+
+## Annotation Format
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: app-config
+  annotations:
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/sync: "true"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/target-namespaces: "prod-*"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+      rules:
+        - path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+          value: "error"
+        - path: data.API_URL
+          template: "https://{{.TargetNamespace}}.api.example.com"
+        - path: metadata.labels
+          merge:
+            environment: "production"
+            managed-by: "kubemirror"
+        - path: data.DEBUG_MODE
+          delete: true
+```
+
+## Rule Types
+
+### 1. Static Value (`value`)
+Set a field to a static value, replacing existing content.
+
+```yaml
+- path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+  value: "error"
+```
+
+### 2. Template Value (`template`)
+Use Go templates with context variables.
+
+**Available template variables:**
+- `.TargetNamespace` - Target namespace name
+- `.SourceNamespace` - Source namespace name
+- `.SourceName` - Source resource name
+- `.TargetName` - Target resource name (usually same as source)
+- `.Labels` - Map of source labels
+- `.Annotations` - Map of source annotations
+
+```yaml
+- path: data.API_URL
+  template: "https://{{.TargetNamespace}}.api.example.com"
+
+- path: metadata.annotations.namespace-specific
+  template: "Mirrored from {{.SourceNamespace}}/{{.SourceName}}"
+```
+
+### 3. Map Merge (`merge`)
+Merge additional key-value pairs into an existing map. If the map doesn't exist, it's created.
+
+```yaml
+- path: metadata.labels
+  merge:
+    environment: "production"
+    tier: "frontend"
+```
+
+### 4. Field Deletion (`delete`)
+Remove a field from the resource.
+
+```yaml
+- path: data.DEBUG_MODE
+  delete: true
+
+- path: metadata.annotations.internal-only
+  delete: true
+```
+
+## Path Syntax
+
+Paths use dot notation to traverse the resource structure:
+- `data.KEY` - Data field in ConfigMap/Secret
+- `metadata.labels.LABEL_KEY` - Specific label
+- `metadata.annotations.ANNOTATION_KEY` - Specific annotation
+- `spec.replicas` - Spec field
+- `spec.template.spec.containers[0].image` - Array indexing
+
+## Template Functions
+
+Custom template functions available:
+
+- `{{ upper .TargetNamespace }}` - Uppercase
+- `{{ lower .TargetNamespace }}` - Lowercase
+- `{{ replace .TargetNamespace "-" "_" }}` - String replacement
+- `{{ trimPrefix .TargetNamespace "prod-" }}` - Remove prefix
+- `{{ trimSuffix .TargetNamespace "-app" }}` - Remove suffix
+- `{{ default "fallback" .Labels.optional }}` - Default value
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Template Sandboxing**: Templates are executed in a sandboxed environment
+2. **Path Validation**: Paths must be valid JSONPath expressions
+3. **No External Access**: Templates cannot access files, network, or execute commands
+4. **Resource Limits**: Maximum template execution time: 100ms
+5. **Size Limits**: Maximum transformation rule size: 10KB
+
+## Examples
+
+### Environment-Specific Configuration
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: app-config
+  namespace: default
+  annotations:
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/sync: "true"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/target-namespaces: "dev-*,staging-*,prod-*"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+      rules:
+        # Set log level based on namespace prefix
+        - path: data.LOG_LEVEL
+          template: |
+            {{- if hasPrefix .TargetNamespace "prod-" -}}
+            error
+            {{- else if hasPrefix .TargetNamespace "staging-" -}}
+            warn
+            {{- else -}}
+            debug
+            {{- end }}
+
+        # Namespace-specific API URL
+        - path: data.API_URL
+          template: "https://{{.TargetNamespace}}.api.example.com"
+
+        # Add environment label
+        - path: metadata.labels
+          merge:
+            environment: "{{ trimPrefix .TargetNamespace (regexFind `^[^-]+` .TargetNamespace) }}"
+```
+
+### Secret with Dynamic Values
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Secret
+metadata:
+  name: database-config
+  annotations:
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/sync: "true"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/target-namespaces: "app-*"
+    kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform: |
+      rules:
+        # Database host varies by namespace
+        - path: data.DB_HOST
+          template: "{{ .TargetNamespace }}.postgres.svc.cluster.local"
+
+        # Remove admin password in non-admin namespaces
+        - path: data.ADMIN_PASSWORD
+          delete: true
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Transformation errors are non-fatal by default:
+- Invalid path: Log warning, skip transformation
+- Template error: Log warning, skip transformation
+- Type mismatch: Log warning, skip transformation
+
+To make errors fatal (block mirroring):
+```yaml
+kubemirror.raczylo.com/transform-strict: "true"
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- Rules are parsed once and cached
+- Template compilation is cached
+- Average overhead: <1ms per mirror creation
+- Maximum rules per resource: 50
