+## [0.2.0] - 2026-01-22
+
+### Changed
+- Refactored core traversal logic to a **single-pass, in-memory tree construction** algorithm. This visits every file exactly once, replacing the previous $O(N \times Depth)$ behavior with $O(N)$.
+- Switched default CSV output to use the `csv` crate for robust escaping (fixes issues with filenames containing commas).
+- Optimized JSON output to use zero-copy serialization, improving performance and memory usage.
+
+### Added
+- Added `MANUAL.md` with comprehensive usage documentation.
+
+### Removed
+- Removed `walkdir` dependency (replaced by `ignore::WalkBuilder` for all traversal).

+# Sized User Manual
+
+`sized` is a modern, fast, and concurrent disk usage analyzer for the command line, written in Rust. It is designed to provide quick insights into directory sizes with a focus on readability and flexibility.

+
+## Installation
+
+Currently, `sized` can be installed from source:
+
+```bash
+git clone <repository_url>
+cd sized
+cargo install --path .
+```
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+By default, `sized` analyzes the current directory recursively and displays a table of the immediate children, sorted by name.
+
+```bash
+sized
+```
+
+To analyze a specific path:
+```bash
+sized /path/to/directory
+```
+
+The output includes:
+- **Type**: Icon indicating if it's a directory (📁) or file (📄).
+- **Name**: The relative path to the entry.
+- **Size**: Human-readable size (e.g., 10 MB, 2.5 GB).
+- **% of Parent**: The percentage of the total size of the *current view* (immediate children) that this entry consumes.
+- **Last Modified**: Time since the file was last modified.
+
+### Total Size Header
+The header displays the total size of the scanned directory in both Binary (MiB/GiB) and Decimal (MB/GB) units, along with the total block count.
+
+## Filtering and Sorting
+
+### Sorting (`--sort`)
+Sort the output table by a specific column.
+
+**Syntax**: `--sort <COLUMN:DIRECTION>`
+- **Columns**: `name`, `size`, `type`
+- **Directions**: `asc` (ascending), `desc` (descending)
+
+**Examples**:
+```bash
+# Sort by size (largest first) - Default behavior
+sized --sort size:desc
+
+# Sort by name (A-Z)
+sized --sort name:asc
+```
+
+### Minimum Size (`-m` / `--min-size`)
+Hide entries smaller than a specific size to reduce noise.
+
+**Examples**:
+```bash
+# Show only files/dirs larger than 10 MB
+sized -m 10MB
+
+# Show only files/dirs larger than 1 GB
+sized --min-size 1GB
+```
+
+### Depth Control (`-d` / `--depth`)
+Limit the recursion depth for the *calculation*. Note that the display currently shows immediate children, but this flag controls how deep `sized` looks to calculate directory sizes.
+*(Note: Deeply nested directory sizes are always fully calculated unless limited)*
+
+```bash
+sized -d 2
+```
+
+## Output Formats (`--format`)
+
+`sized` supports multiple output formats for integration with other tools.
+
+### Table (Default)
+The standard human-readable ASCII table with colors.
+```bash
+sized --format text
+```
+
+### CSV
+Comma-Separated Values, suitable for spreadsheets.
+```bash
+sized --format csv
+```
+Columns: `path`, `size_bytes`, `files`, `dirs`
+
+### JSON
+Computed metrics in NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON) format.
+```bash
+sized --format json
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Path Display
+- **Default**: Relative paths (`./folder`)
+- **Full Path**: Use `-f` or `--path-full` to see absolute paths (`/users/name/folder`).
+- **Relative Path**: Use `--path-relative` to explicitly force relative paths.
+
+### Concurrency (`-j` / `--threads`)
+`sized` uses parallel processing. By default, it uses a number of threads equal to your CPU cores. You can limit this for system stability or increase it (though usually not clear).
+
+```bash
+# Limit to 4 threads
+sized -j 4
+```
+
+### Gitignore Support (`-i` / `--ignore`)
+Respect `.gitignore` and `.ignore` files. This is useful for checking the size of a project *as it would be committed*, ignoring `target/`, `node_modules/`, etc.
+
+```bash
+sized -i
+```
+
+### Exporting Data (`--save`)
+Save the output directly to a file. If you use `_AUTO_` (or provide no argument to the flag), it generates a filename with the current timestamp.
+
+```bash
+# Save to a specific file
+sized --save report.txt
+
+# Save to a timestamped file (e.g., 20250122-120000_sized_report.txt)
+sized --save
+```
+
+## Shell Completions
+
+Generate shell completion scripts for Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell, or Elvish.
+
+```bash
+# Generate for Zsh
+sized --completions zsh > _sized
+```
+
+### Installation (Zsh example)
+1. Generate the completion file: `sized --completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_sized`
+2. Add to your `.zshrc`: `fpath+=~/.zfunc; autoload -Uz compinit && compinit`
