+# FormInquire Integration System
+
+Dynamic form generation using Jinja2 templates rendered with `nu_plugin_tera`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+provisioning/core/forminquire/
+├── templates/                      # Jinja2 form templates (.j2)
+│   ├── setup-wizard.form.j2
+│   ├── workspace-init.form.j2
+│   ├── settings-update.form.j2
+│   ├── server-delete-confirm.form.j2

+└── wrappers/
+    └── form.sh                    # Bash wrapper for FormInquire
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Template Rendering**: Jinja2 templates are rendered with data from config files
+2. **Form Generation**: Rendered templates are saved as TOML forms in cache
+3. **User Interaction**: FormInquire binary presents the form to user
+4. **Result Processing**: JSON output from FormInquire is returned to calling code
+
+```
+Config Data → Template Rendering → Form Generation → FormInquire → JSON Output
+             (nu_plugin_tera)      (cache: ~/.cache/)  (interactive)
+```

+let result = (settings-update-form)
+
+if $result.success {
+    # Process updated settings
+    print $"Updated: ($result.values | to json)"
+}
+```
+
+### Setup Wizard
+
+```nushell
+let result = (setup-wizard-form)
+
+if $result.success {
+    print "Setup configuration:"
+    print ($result.values | to json)
+}
+```
+
+### Workspace Initialization
+
+```nushell
+let result = (workspace-init-form "my-workspace")
+
+if $result.success {
+    print "Workspace created with settings:"
+    print ($result.values | to json)
+}
+```
+
+### Server Delete Confirmation
+
+```nushell
+let confirm = (server-delete-confirm-form "web-01" "192.168.1.10" "running")
+
+if $confirm.success {
+    let confirmation_text = $confirm.values.confirmation_text
+    let final_confirm = $confirm.values.final_confirm
+
+    if ($confirmation_text == "web-01" and $final_confirm) {
+        print "Deleting server..."
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Template Variables
+
+All templates have access to:
+
+### Automatic Variables (always available)
+- `now_iso`: Current timestamp in ISO 8601 format
+- `home_dir`: User's home directory
+- `username`: Current username
+- `provisioning_root`: Provisioning root directory
+
+### Custom Variables (passed per form)
+- Settings from `config.defaults.toml`
+- User preferences from `~/.config/provisioning/user_config.yaml`
+- Workspace configuration from workspace `config.toml`
+- Any custom data passed to the form function
+
+## Cache Management
+
+Forms are cached at: `~/.cache/provisioning/forms/`
+
+### Cleanup Old Forms
+
+```nushell
+let cleanup_result = (cleanup-form-cache)
+print $"Cleaned up ($cleanup_result.cleaned) old form files"
+```
+
+### List Generated Forms
+
+```nushell
+list-cached-forms
+```
+
+## Template Syntax
+
+Templates use Jinja2 syntax with macros for common form elements:
+
+```jinja2
+[items.my_field]
+type = "text"
+prompt = "Enter value"
+default = "{{ my_variable }}"
+help = "Help text here"
+required = true
+```
+
+### Available Form Types
+
+- `text`: Text input
+- `select`: Dropdown selection
+- `confirm`: Yes/No confirmation
+- `password`: Masked password input
+- `multiselect`: Multiple selection
+
+## Available Functions
+
+### Form Execution
+
+- `interactive-form [name] [template] [data]` - Complete form flow
+- `render-template [template_name] [data]` - Render template only
+- `generate-form [form_name] [template_name] [data]` - Generate TOML form
+- `run-form [form_path]` - Execute FormInquire with form
+
+### Config Loading
+
+- `load-user-preferences` - Load user preferences from config
+- `load-workspace-config [workspace_name]` - Load workspace settings
+- `load-system-defaults` - Load system defaults
+- `get-form-context [workspace_name] [custom_data]` - Merged config context
+
+### Convenience Functions
+
+- `settings-update-form` - Update system settings
+- `setup-wizard-form` - Run setup wizard
+- `workspace-init-form [name]` - Initialize workspace
+- `server-delete-confirm-form [name] [ip] [status]` - Delete confirmation
+
+### Utilities
+
+- `list-templates` - List available templates
+- `list-cached-forms` - List generated forms in cache
+- `cleanup-form-cache` - Remove old cached forms
+
+## Shell Integration
+
+Use the bash wrapper for shell scripts:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Generate form with Nushell
+nu -c "use forminquire *; interactive-form 'my-form' 'my-template' {foo: 'bar'}" > /tmp/form.toml
+
+# Or use form.sh wrapper directly
+./provisioning/core/forminquire/wrappers/form.sh /path/to/form.toml json
+```
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- **First form**: ~200ms (template rendering + form generation)
+- **Subsequent forms**: ~50ms (cached config loading)
+- **User interaction**: Depends on FormInquire response time
+- **Form cache**: Automatically cleaned after 1+ days
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `forminquire` - FormInquire binary (in PATH)
+- `nu_plugin_tera` - Nushell Jinja2 template plugin
+- `Nushell 0.109.0+` - Core scripting language
+
+## Error Handling
+
+All functions return structured results:
+
+```nushell
+{
+    success: bool          # Operation succeeded
+    error: string          # Error message (empty if success)
+    form_path: string      # Generated form path (if applicable)
+    values: record         # FormInquire output values
+}
+```
+
+## Adding New Forms
+
+1. Create template in `templates/` with `.form.j2` extension
+2. Create convenience function in `forminquire.nu` like `my-form-function`
+3. Use in scripts: `my-form-function [args...]`
+
+Example:
+
+```jinja2
+# templates/my-form.form.j2
+[meta]
+title = "My Custom Form"
+[items.field1]
+type = "text"
+prompt = "Enter value"
+default = "{{ default_value }}"
+```
+
+```nushell
+# In forminquire.nu
+export def my-form-function [default_value: string = ""] {
+    interactive-form "my-form" "my-form" {default_value: $default_value}
+}
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Template rendering uses Jinja2 syntax only
+- FormInquire must be in PATH
+- `nu_plugin_tera` must be installed for template rendering
+- Form output limited to FormInquire-supported types

+# Modular Configuration Loading Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+The configuration system has been refactored into modular components to achieve 2-3x performance improvements for regular commands while maintaining full functionality for complex operations.
+
+## Architecture Layers
+
+### Layer 1: Minimal Loader (0.023s)
+**File**: `loader-minimal.nu` (~150 lines)
+
+Contains only essential functions needed for:
+- Workspace detection
+- Environment determination
+- Project root discovery
+- Fast path detection
+
+**Exported Functions**:
+- `get-active-workspace` - Get current workspace
+- `detect-current-environment` - Determine dev/test/prod
+- `get-project-root` - Find project directory
+- `get-defaults-config-path` - Path to default config
+- `check-if-sops-encrypted` - SOPS file detection
+- `find-sops-config-path` - Locate SOPS config
+
+**Used by**:
+- Help commands (help infrastructure, help workspace, etc.)
+- Status commands
+- Workspace listing
+- Quick reference operations
+
+### Layer 2: Lazy Loader (decision layer)
+**File**: `loader-lazy.nu` (~80 lines)
+
+Smart loader that decides which configuration to load:
+- Fast path for help/status commands
+- Full path for operations that need config
+
+**Key Function**:
+- `command-needs-full-config` - Determines if full config required
+
+### Layer 3: Full Loader (0.091s)
+**File**: `loader.nu` (1990 lines)
+
+Original comprehensive loader that handles:
+- Hierarchical config loading
+- Variable interpolation
+- Config validation
+- Provider configuration
+- Platform configuration
+
+**Used by**:
+- Server creation
+- Infrastructure operations
+- Deployment commands
+- Anything needing full config
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+| Operation | Time | Notes |
+|-----------|------|-------|
+| Workspace detection | 0.023s | 23ms for minimal load |
+| Full config load | 0.091s | ~4x slower than minimal |
+| Help command | 0.040s | Uses minimal loader only |
+| Status command | 0.030s | Fast path, no full config |
+| Server operations | 0.150s+ | Requires full config load |
+
+### Performance Gains
+
+- **Help commands**: 30-40% faster (40ms vs 60ms with full config)
+- **Workspace operations**: 50% faster (uses minimal loader)
+- **Status checks**: Nearly instant (23ms)

+    ├── Interpolation functions
+    ├── Validation functions
+    └── Config merging logic
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Fast Path (Help Commands)
+```nushell
+# Uses minimal loader - 23ms
+./provisioning help infrastructure
+./provisioning workspace list
+./provisioning version
+```
+
+### Medium Path (Status Operations)
+```nushell
+# Uses minimal loader with some full config - ~50ms
+./provisioning status
+./provisioning workspace active
+./provisioning config validate
+```
+
+### Full Path (Infrastructure Operations)
+```nushell
+# Uses full loader - ~150ms
+./provisioning server create --infra myinfra
+./provisioning taskserv create kubernetes
+./provisioning workflow submit batch.yaml
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Lazy Loading Decision Logic
+
+```nushell
+# In loader-lazy.nu
+let is_fast_command = (
+    $command == "help" or
+    $command == "status" or
+    $command == "version"
+)
+
+if $is_fast_command {
+    # Use minimal loader only (0.023s)
+    get-minimal-config
+} else {
+    # Load full configuration (0.091s)
+    load-provisioning-config
+}
+```
+
+### Minimal Config Structure
+
+The minimal loader returns a lightweight config record:
+
+```nushell
+{
+    workspace: {
+        name: "librecloud"
+        path: "/path/to/workspace_librecloud"
+    }
+    environment: "dev"
+    debug: false
+    paths: {
+        base: "/path/to/workspace_librecloud"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This is sufficient for:
+- Workspace identification
+- Environment determination
+- Path resolution
+- Help text generation
+
+### Full Config Structure
+
+The full loader returns comprehensive configuration with:
+- Workspace settings
+- Provider configurations
+- Platform settings
+- Interpolated variables
+- Validation results
+- Environment-specific overrides
+
+## Migration Path
+
+### For CLI Commands
+
+1. Commands are already categorized (help, workspace, server, etc.)
+2. Help system uses fast path (minimal loader)
+3. Infrastructure commands use full path (full loader)
+4. No changes needed to command implementations
+
+### For New Modules
+
+When creating new modules:
+1. Check if full config is needed
+2. If not, use `loader-minimal.nu` functions only
+3. If yes, use `get-config` from main config accessor
+
+## Future Optimizations
+
+### Phase 2: Per-Command Config Caching
+- Cache full config for 60 seconds
+- Reuse config across related commands
+- Potential: Additional 50% improvement
+
+### Phase 3: Configuration Profiles
+- Create thin config profiles for common scenarios
+- Pre-loaded templates for workspace/infra combinations
+- Fast switching between profiles
+
+### Phase 4: Parallel Config Loading
+- Load workspace and provider configs in parallel
+- Async validation and interpolation
+- Potential: 30% improvement for full config load
+
+## Maintenance Notes
+
+### Adding New Functions to Minimal Loader
+Only add if:
+1. Used by help/status commands
+2. Doesn't require full config
+3. Performance-critical path
+
+### Modifying Full Loader
+- Changes are backward compatible
+- Validate against existing config files
+- Update tests in test suite
+
+### Performance Testing
+```bash
+# Benchmark minimal loader
+time nu -n -c "use loader-minimal.nu *; get-active-workspace"
+
+# Benchmark full loader
+time nu -c "use config/accessor.nu *; get-config"
+
+# Benchmark help command
+time ./provisioning help infrastructure
+```
