style: fix code formatting with black

Changes:
- Add -u flag to Python in Dockerfile to disable output buffering
- Add startup messages in main.py showing bot configuration
- Logs now appear immediately in kubectl logs output

This fixes the issue where no logs were visible when running
in Kubernetes pods due to Python's default stdout buffering.

-MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET = Mastodon  client  secret
+A simple, lightweight Mastodon bot that automatically posts updates from RSS feeds to the Fediverse. Built with Python and designed to run seamlessly in Docker with multiarch support (amd64 & arm64).
 
-MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN = Mastodon  access  token
+## Features
 
-MASTODON_INSTANCE_URL = Mastodon  instance  URL
+- Automatically monitors RSS/Atom feeds and posts new items to Mastodon
+- Persistent state tracking to avoid duplicate posts
+- Configurable post visibility (public, unlisted, private, direct)
+- Lightweight Alpine-based Docker image
+- Multiarch support (amd64 & arm64) for broad compatibility
+- Continuous monitoring with configurable check intervals
 
-RSS_FEED_URL = URL  of  RSS/xml  feed
+## Quick Start
 
-TOOT_VISIBILITY = 'public', 'unlisted', 'private', or 'direct'
+### Using Docker (Recommended)
 
-The best way to use this project is by using [its docker container](https://hub.docker.com/r/amitserper/masto-rss)
+The easiest way to run Masto-RSS is using the pre-built multiarch Docker images available on both Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry.
-When using docker, make a bind mount between /state on the container to whatever directory you want on your machine in order to keep the state of the feeds that were already posted
+
-![image](https://github.com/aserper/masto-rss/actions/workflows/masto-rss.yml/badge.svg)
+#### Pull from Docker Hub
+
+```bash
+docker pull amitserper/masto-rss:latest
+```
+
+#### Pull from GitHub Container Registry
+
+```bash
+docker pull ghcr.io/aserper/masto-rss:latest
+```
+
+#### Run the Bot
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name masto-rss-bot \
+  -e MASTODON_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id" \
+  -e MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret" \
+  -e MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_access_token" \
+  -e MASTODON_INSTANCE_URL="https://mastodon.social" \
+  -e RSS_FEED_URL="https://example.com/feed.xml" \
+  -e TOOT_VISIBILITY="public" \
+  -e CHECK_INTERVAL="300" \
+  -v /path/to/state:/state \
+  amitserper/masto-rss:latest
+```
+
+> **Important:** Use a bind mount for `/state` to persist the list of processed feed items across container restarts.
+
+### Using Docker Compose
+
+Create a `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  masto-rss:
+    image: amitserper/masto-rss:latest
+    # Or use GHCR: ghcr.io/aserper/masto-rss:latest
+    container_name: masto-rss-bot
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    environment:
+      MASTODON_CLIENT_ID: "your_client_id"
+      MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET: "your_client_secret"
+      MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN: "your_access_token"
+      MASTODON_INSTANCE_URL: "https://mastodon.social"
+      RSS_FEED_URL: "https://example.com/feed.xml"
+      TOOT_VISIBILITY: "public"
+      CHECK_INTERVAL: "300"
+    volumes:
+      - ./state:/state
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+
+### Multiple Feeds
+To monitor multiple feeds, you can either:
+- Use the `RSS_FEEDS` environment variable (comma-separated list)
+- Use the `FEEDS_FILE` environment variable (path to file with one URL per line)
+
+#### Run with Multiple Feeds (Docker)
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name masto-rss-bot \
+  -e MASTODON_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id" \
+  -e MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret" \
+  -e MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_access_token" \
+  -e MASTODON_INSTANCE_URL="https://mastodon.social" \
+  -e RSS_FEEDS="https://feed1.com/rss,https://feed2.com/rss" \
+  -e TOOT_VISIBILITY="public" \
+  -e CHECK_INTERVAL="300" \
+  -v /path/to/state:/state \
+  amitserper/masto-rss:latest
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+All configuration is done via environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Description | Required | Example |
+|----------|-------------|----------|---------|
+| `MASTODON_CLIENT_ID` | Mastodon application client ID | Yes | `abc123...` |
+| `MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET` | Mastodon application client secret | Yes | `xyz789...` |
+| `MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN` | Mastodon access token | Yes | `token123...` |
+| `MASTODON_INSTANCE_URL` | URL of your Mastodon instance | Yes | `https://mastodon.social` |
+| `RSS_FEED_URL` | Single RSS/Atom feed URL (Legacy) | No* | `https://example.com/feed.xml` |
+| `RSS_FEEDS` | Comma-separated list of feed URLs | No* | `https://site1.com,https://site2.com` |
+| `FEEDS_FILE` | Path to file containing list of feed URLs | No* | `/config/feeds.txt` |
+| `TOOT_VISIBILITY` | Post visibility level | Yes | `public`, `unlisted`, `private`, or `direct` |
+| `CHECK_INTERVAL` | Seconds between feed checks | Yes | `300` (5 minutes) |
+| `PROCESSED_ENTRIES_FILE`| Custom path for state file | No | `/state/processed.txt` |
+
+\* At least one of `RSS_FEED_URL`, `RSS_FEEDS`, or `FEEDS_FILE` must be provided.
+
+### Getting Mastodon API Credentials
+
+1. Log into your Mastodon instance
+2. Go to **Settings** → **Development** → **New Application**
+3. Give it a name (e.g., "RSS Bot")
+4. Set scopes to `write:statuses`
+5. Save and copy the client ID, client secret, and access token
+
+## Building from Source
+
+### Build Locally
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/aserper/masto-rss.git
+cd masto-rss
+docker build -t masto-rss .
+```
+
+### Build Multiarch Images
+
+```bash
+# Set up buildx
+docker buildx create --use
+
+# Build for both architectures
+docker buildx build \
+  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
+  -t yourusername/masto-rss:latest \
+  --push \
+  .
+```
+
+## Running Without Docker
+
+If you prefer to run the bot directly with Python:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/aserper/masto-rss.git
+cd masto-rss
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Set environment variables
+export MASTODON_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
+export MASTODON_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"
+export MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_access_token"
+export MASTODON_INSTANCE_URL="https://mastodon.social"
+export RSS_FEED_URL="https://example.com/feed.xml"
+export TOOT_VISIBILITY="public"
+export CHECK_INTERVAL="300"
+
+# Run the bot
+python main.py
+```
+
+> **Note:** When running without Docker, the bot stores its state in `/state/processed_entries.txt`. Make sure this directory exists or modify [main.py](main.py#L15) to use a different path.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. The bot fetches the RSS feed at regular intervals (defined by `CHECK_INTERVAL`)
+2. For each feed item, it checks if the item's URL has been processed before
+3. If the item is new, it posts to Mastodon with the format: `{title}\n\n{link}`
+4. The item URL is saved to prevent duplicate posts
+5. The process repeats indefinitely
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **Base Image:** Alpine Linux 3.18 (minimal footprint)
+- **Python Version:** 3.10+
+- **Platforms:** linux/amd64, linux/arm64
+- **Dependencies:** feedparser, mastodon.py (see [requirements.txt](requirements.txt))
+
+## State Persistence
+
+The bot maintains state in `/state/processed_entries.txt` to track which feed items have already been posted. This prevents duplicate posts across restarts.
+
+**Important:** Always mount `/state` as a volume to preserve this state file.

+# Testing Guide for Masto-RSS
+
+This document describes the testing strategy and how to run tests for the Masto-RSS bot.
+
+## Test Architecture
+
+The test suite is organized into two main categories:
+
+### Unit Tests ([test_bot.py](test_bot.py))
+- Test individual functions and methods in isolation
+- Use mocks and stubs for external dependencies
+- Fast execution time
+- High code coverage
+- Test edge cases and error handling
+
+### Integration Tests ([test_integration.py](test_integration.py))
+- Test interactions between components
+- Mock external services (RSS feeds, Mastodon API)
+- Test end-to-end workflows
+- Verify data persistence
+- Test error recovery
+
+## Running Tests Locally
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+```bash
+# Install test dependencies
+pip install -r requirements-test.txt
+```
+
+### Run All Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests with coverage
+pytest
+
+# Run with verbose output
+pytest -v
+
+# Run with coverage report
+pytest --cov=bot --cov=main --cov-report=html
+```
+
+### Run Specific Test Categories
+
+```bash
+# Run only unit tests
+pytest test_bot.py
+
+# Run only integration tests
+pytest test_integration.py
+
+# Run tests matching a pattern
+pytest -k "test_parse_feed"
+```
+
+### Run with Markers
+
+```bash
+# Run only unit tests (using markers)
+pytest -m unit
+
+# Run only integration tests
+pytest -m integration
+
+# Skip slow tests
+pytest -m "not slow"
+```
+
+### Coverage Reports
+
+```bash
+# Generate HTML coverage report
+pytest --cov=bot --cov=main --cov-report=html
+
+# View report
+open htmlcov/index.html  # macOS
+xdg-open htmlcov/index.html  # Linux
+```
+
+## GitHub Actions CI/CD
+
+Tests run automatically on every push to `main` and on all pull requests via [.github/workflows/test.yml](.github/workflows/test.yml).
+
+### Test Jobs
+
+1. **Unit Tests**
+   - Runs on Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
+   - Executes all unit tests
+   - Uploads coverage to Codecov
+
+2. **Integration Tests**
+   - Runs on Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
+   - Executes all integration tests with mocked external services
+   - Uploads coverage to Codecov
+
+3. **Code Quality**
+   - Runs flake8 for linting
+   - Runs black for code formatting checks
+   - Runs mypy for type checking
+
+4. **Docker Build Test**
+   - Builds the Docker image
+   - Verifies Python and dependencies are installed
+   - Ensures the image can run
+
+5. **All Tests Pass**
+   - Final job that requires all previous jobs to succeed
+   - Provides a single status check for PR requirements
+
+## Test Coverage Requirements
+
+- **Minimum coverage**: 80%
+- Coverage is measured for `bot.py` and `main.py`
+- Test files are excluded from coverage metrics
+
+## Code Quality Standards
+
+### Flake8
+- Maximum line length: 127 characters
+- Maximum cyclomatic complexity: 10
+- Critical error codes checked: E9, F63, F7, F82
+
+### Black
+- Line length: 88 characters (default)
+- All Python files must pass black formatting
+
+### Mypy
+- Type hints encouraged but not required
+- Runs in non-strict mode with missing imports ignored
+
+## Test Data and Fixtures
+
+### Mock RSS Feeds
+Integration tests use realistic RSS 2.0 and Atom feed XML for testing feed parsing.
+
+### Mock Mastodon API
+The Mastodon API is mocked using `unittest.mock` to avoid making real API calls.
+
+### Temporary State Files
+Tests use `tempfile.mktemp()` to create temporary state files that are cleaned up after each test.
+
+## Writing New Tests
+
+### Unit Test Template
+
+```python
+import unittest
+from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
+from bot import MastodonRSSBot
+
+class TestNewFeature(unittest.TestCase):
+    def setUp(self):
+        """Set up test fixtures"""
+        self.bot = MastodonRSSBot(
+            client_id='test',
+            client_secret='test',
+            access_token='test',
+            instance_url='https://test.com',
+            feed_url='https://feed.test/rss.xml',
+            state_file='/tmp/test_state.txt'
+        )
+
+    def test_feature(self):
+        """Test description"""
+        result = self.bot.some_method()
+        self.assertEqual(result, expected_value)
+```
+
+### Integration Test Template
+
+```python
+import unittest
+import responses
+from bot import MastodonRSSBot
+
+class TestNewIntegration(unittest.TestCase):
+    @responses.activate
+    @patch('bot.Mastodon')
+    def test_integration(self, mock_mastodon):
+        """Test description"""
+        # Mock HTTP responses
+        responses.add(
+            responses.GET,
+            'https://example.com/feed.xml',
+            body=rss_xml,
+            status=200
+        )
+
+        # Run test
+        bot = MastodonRSSBot(...)
+        result = bot.process_new_entries()
+
+        self.assertEqual(result, expected)
+```
+
+## Continuous Integration Status
+
+[![Tests](https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/aserper/masto-rss/test.yml?style=for-the-badge&logo=github&label=Tests)](https://github.com/aserper/masto-rss/actions/workflows/test.yml)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tests Fail Locally But Pass in CI
+- Ensure you're using the same Python version
+- Check that all dependencies are installed: `pip install -r requirements-test.txt`
+- Clear pytest cache: `pytest --cache-clear`
+
+### Coverage Below 80%
+- Identify untested code: `pytest --cov=bot --cov-report=term-missing`
+- Add tests for the missing lines
+- Some error handling paths may be acceptable to skip
+
+### Import Errors
+- Ensure the project root is in PYTHONPATH
+- Run tests from the project root directory
+- Check virtual environment is activated
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Test One Thing**: Each test should verify one specific behavior
+2. **Clear Names**: Test names should describe what they're testing
+3. **Arrange-Act-Assert**: Structure tests with setup, execution, and verification
+4. **Mock External Services**: Never make real HTTP requests or API calls
+5. **Clean Up**: Always clean up temporary files and state
+6. **Test Edge Cases**: Test both happy paths and error conditions
+7. **Keep Tests Fast**: Unit tests should run in milliseconds
+8. **Document Complex Tests**: Add comments explaining non-obvious test logic

+# Test Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+Comprehensive test suite designed for the Masto-RSS bot with unit tests, integration tests, and automated CI/CD testing via GitHub Actions.
+
+## Files Created
+
+### 1. Core Refactoring
+- **[bot.py](bot.py)** - Refactored core functionality into testable `MastodonRSSBot` class
+  - Separated concerns (parsing, posting, state management)
+  - Dependency injection for easier testing
+  - Error handling and logging
+  - Type hints for better code clarity
+
+- **[main.py](main.py)** - Simplified entry point
+  - Loads configuration from environment
+  - Instantiates and runs the bot
+  - Clean separation from core logic
+
+### 2. Test Files
+
+#### [test_bot.py](test_bot.py) - Unit Tests
+Contains **20+ unit tests** covering:
+- Bot initialization with configuration
+- Loading/saving processed entries (with and without existing files)
+- Directory creation for state files
+- Status formatting from feed entries
+- Mastodon posting (success and failure cases)
+- Feed parsing (success, errors, malformed data)
+- Processing new entries (all new, partially processed, no entries)
+- Handling entries without URLs
+- Failed posts don't get marked as processed
+- Main entry point configuration loading
+
+**Coverage:** Core business logic, edge cases, error handling
+
+#### [test_integration.py](test_integration.py) - Integration Tests
+Contains **10+ integration tests** covering:
+- End-to-end RSS to Mastodon flow
+- Real RSS 2.0 feed parsing
+- Real Atom feed parsing
+- State persistence across bot runs
+- Incremental feed updates (new entries added over time)
+- Network error handling (500 errors, timeouts)
+- Malformed XML handling
+- Different visibility levels (public, unlisted, private, direct)
+- Rate limiting error handling
+- Retry mechanisms
+
+**Coverage:** Component integration, external service mocking, data flow
+
+### 3. Configuration Files
+
+#### [pytest.ini](pytest.ini)
+- Test discovery patterns
+- Coverage settings (80% minimum)
+- Output formatting
+- Test markers (unit, integration, slow)
+- Coverage exclusions
+
+#### [requirements-test.txt](requirements-test.txt)
+Test dependencies:

+- Python cache files
+- Virtual environments
+- IDE configurations
+
+### 4. CI/CD Pipeline
+
+#### [.github/workflows/test.yml](.github/workflows/test.yml)
+Comprehensive GitHub Actions workflow with **5 jobs**:
+
+1. **Unit Tests**
+   - Runs on Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 (matrix)
+   - Executes unit tests with coverage
+   - Uploads coverage to Codecov
+
+2. **Integration Tests**
+   - Runs on Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 (matrix)
+   - Executes integration tests
+   - Uploads coverage to Codecov
+
+3. **Code Quality**

+
+## Test Statistics
+
+### Coverage Targets
+- **Minimum:** 80% code coverage
+- **Measured:** `bot.py` and `main.py`
+- **Excluded:** Test files, virtual environments
+
+### Test Count
+- **Unit Tests:** 20+ tests
+- **Integration Tests:** 10+ tests
+- **Total:** 30+ tests
+
+### Python Versions Tested
+- Python 3.10
+- Python 3.11
+- Python 3.12
+
+## Key Testing Features
+
+### Mocking Strategy
+- **Mastodon API:** Mocked using `unittest.mock` to avoid real API calls
+- **RSS Feeds:** Mocked using `responses` library with realistic XML
+- **File System:** Uses temporary files that are cleaned up automatically
+
+### Test Data
+- Realistic RSS 2.0 and Atom feed examples
+- Multiple entry scenarios (new, processed, malformed)
+- Error conditions (network failures, API errors, rate limits)
+
+### Continuous Integration
+- Runs on every push to `main`
+- Runs on all pull requests
+- Parallel test execution across Python versions
+- Automatic coverage reporting
+- Docker image validation
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Locally
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements-test.txt
+
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=bot --cov=main --cov-report=html
+
+# Run specific tests
+pytest test_bot.py  # Unit tests only
+pytest test_integration.py  # Integration tests only
+```
+
+### In CI/CD
+Tests run automatically via GitHub Actions:
+- **Trigger:** Push to main or pull request
+- **Duration:** ~5-10 minutes
+- **Matrix:** 3 Python versions × 2 test types = 6 parallel jobs
+- **Plus:** Code quality and Docker build validation
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Code Quality:** Ensures all changes are tested before merging
+2. **Regression Prevention:** Catches bugs before they reach production
+3. **Documentation:** Tests serve as executable documentation
+4. **Confidence:** Safe to refactor with comprehensive test coverage
+5. **Type Safety:** Mypy catches type-related bugs early
+6. **Code Style:** Black and flake8 enforce consistency
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential additions:
+- Performance/load testing
+- End-to-end tests with real Mastodon test instance
+- Security scanning (Bandit, Safety)
+- Mutation testing (mutmut)
+- Property-based testing (Hypothesis)
+- Contract testing for API interactions
+
+## Maintenance
+
+- **Add tests** for all new features
+- **Update tests** when changing behavior
+- **Keep coverage above 80%**
+- **Run tests before committing**
+- **Review test failures** in CI before merging
