+
+## 概要
+mockcat は Haskell 向けの小さなモック / スタブ DSL です。  
+`arg |> arg |> 戻り値` というシンプルな書き方で「こう呼ばれたらこう返す」を並べ、関数ならそのまま使い、型クラスなら Template Haskell (`makeMock`, `makePartialMock`) で生成したスタブ関数を `runMockT` の中で走らせると自動で検証まで行われます。
+
+### 特徴
+* シンプル: `arg |> ... |> 戻り値` でスタブ関数をすぐ作れる。
+* 柔軟な戻り値: 同じ引数でも呼び出しごとで値を変えたり、引数別に振り分けたりできる。
+* 型クラスのモックを生成: Template Haskell によりボイラープレートを削減。
+* 型クラスの部分モック: 必要な関数だけ差し替え、残りは本物で動かすことができる。
+* 並列処理への対応: スタブ関数を並列に呼び出しても、正確な呼び出し回数の検証が行える。

+## 例
+スタブ関数
+```haskell
+-- create a stub function
+stubFn <- createStubFn $ "value" |> True
+-- assert
+stubFn "value" `shouldBe` True
+```
+適用の検証
+```haskell
+-- create a mock
+mock <- createMock $ "value" |> True
+-- stub function
+let stubFunction = stubFn mock
+-- assert
+stubFunction "value" `shouldBe` True
+-- verify
+mock `shouldApplyTo` "value"
+```
+型クラス
+```haskell
+result <- runMockT do
+  -- stub functions
+  _readFile $ "input.txt" |> pack "content"
+  _writeFile $ "output.txt" |> pack "content" |> ()
+  -- sut
+  program "input.txt" "output.txt"
+
+result `shouldBe` ()
+```
+## スタブ関数の概要
+スタブ関数は`createStubFn`関数で生成することができます。
+`createStubFn`の引数は、適用が期待される引数を `|>` で連結したもので、`|>` の最後の値が関数の返り値となります。
+```haskell
+createStubFn $ (10 :: Int) |> "return value"
+```
+これは型クラスのモックにおけるスタブ関数の場合も同様です。
+```haskell
+runMockT do
+  _readFile $ "input.txt" |> pack "content"
+```
+期待される引数は、条件として指定することもできます。
+```haskell
+-- Conditions other than exact match
+createStubFn $ any |> "return value"
+createStubFn $ expect (> 5) "> 5" |> "return value"
+createStubFn $ expect_ (> 5) |> "return value"
+createStubFn $ $(expectByExpr [|(> 5)|]) |> "return value"
+```
+また、引数に応じて返す値を変えることも可能です。
+（同じ引数に対して、別の値を返すことも可能できます。）
+```haskell
+-- Parameterized Stub
+createStubFn do
+  onCase $ "a" |> "return x"
+  onCase $ "b" |> "return y"
+createStubFn do
+  onCase $ "arg" |> "x"
+  onCase $ "arg" |> "y"
+```
+## 検証の概要
+スタブ関数の適用を検証するには、まず`createMock`関数でモックを作ります。
+スタブ関数はモックから`stubFn`関数で取り出して使います。
+検証はモックに対して行います。
+```haskell
+-- create a mock
+mock <- createMock $ "value" |> True
+-- stub function
+let stubFunction = stubFn mock
+-- assert
+stubFunction "value" `shouldBe` True
+-- verify
+mock `shouldApplyTo` "value"
+```
+スタブ関数と同様に検証の場合も条件を指定することができます。
+```haskell
+mock `shouldApplyTo` any @String
+mock `shouldApplyTo` expect_ (/= "not value")
+mock `shouldApplyTo` $(expectByExpr [|(/= "not value")|])
+```
+また適用された回数を検証することもできます。
+```haskell
+mock `shouldApplyTimes` (1 :: Int) `to` "value"
+mock `shouldApplyTimesGreaterThan` (0 :: Int) `to` "value"
+mock `shouldApplyTimesGreaterThanEqual` (1 :: Int) `to` "value"
+mock `shouldApplyTimesLessThan` (2 :: Int) `to` "value"
+mock `shouldApplyTimesLessThanEqual` (1 :: Int) `to` "value"
+mock `shouldApplyTimesToAnything` (1 :: Int)
+```
+型クラスのモックの場合は、`runMockT`を適用した際、用意したスタブ関数の適用が行われたかの検証が自動で行われます。
+```haskell
+result <- runMockT do
+  _readFile $ "input.txt" |> pack "Content"
+  _writeFile $ "output.text" |> pack "Content" |> ()
+  operationProgram "input.txt" "output.text"
+
+result `shouldBe` ()
+```
+## 型クラスのモック
+ここからはより詳しく説明していきます。
+### 例
+例えば次のようなモナド型クラス`FileOperation`と、`FileOperation`を使う`operationProgram`という関数が定義されているとします。
+```haskell
+class Monad m => FileOperation m where
+  readFile :: FilePath -> m Text
+  writeFile :: FilePath -> Text -> m ()
+
+operationProgram ::
+  FileOperation m =>
+  FilePath ->
+  FilePath ->
+  m ()
+operationProgram inputPath outputPath = do
+  content <- readFile inputPath
+  writeFile outputPath content
+```
+
+次のように`makeMock`関数を使うことで、型クラス`FileOperation`のモックを生成することができます。  
+`makeMock [t|FileOperation|]`
+
+生成されるのものは次の2つです。
+1. 型クラス`FileOperation`の`MockT`インスタンス
+2. 型クラス`FileOperation`に定義されている関数を元としたスタブ関数  
+  スタブ関数は元の関数の接頭辞に`_`が付与された関数として生成されます。  
+  この場合`_readFile`と`_writeFile`が生成されます。
+
+モックは次のように使うことができます。
+```haskell
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "Read, and output files" do
+    result <- runMockT do
+      _readFile ("input.txt" |> pack "content")
+      _writeFile ("output.txt" |> pack "content" |> ())
+      operationProgram "input.txt" "output.txt"
+
+    result `shouldBe` ()
+```
+スタブ関数には、関数の適用が期待される引数を `|>` で連結して渡します。  
+`|>` の最後の値が関数の返り値となります。
+
+モックは`runMockT`で実行します。
+
+### 検証
+実行の後、スタブ関数が期待通りに適用されたか検証が行われます。  
+例えば、上記の例のスタブ関数`_writeFile`の適用が期待される引数を`"content"`から`"edited content"`に書き換えてみます。
+```haskell
+result <- runMockT do
+  _readFile ("input.txt" |> pack "content")
+  _writeFile ("output.txt" |> pack "edited content" |> ())
+  operationProgram "input.txt" "output.txt"
+```
+テストを実行すると、テストは失敗し、次のエラーメッセージが表示されます。
+```console
+uncaught exception: ErrorCall
+function `_writeFile` was not applied to the expected arguments.
+  expected: "output.txt","edited content"
+  but got: "output.txt","content"
+```
+
+また次のようにテスト対象で使用している関数に対応するスタブ関数を使用しなかったとします。
+```haskell
+result <- runMockT do
+  _readFile ("input.txt" |> pack "content")
+  -- _writeFile ("output.txt" |> pack "content" |> ())
+  operationProgram "input.txt" "output.txt"
+```
+この場合もテストを実行すると、テストは失敗し、次のエラーメッセージが表示されます。
+```console
+no answer found stub function `_writeFile`.
+```
+
+### 適用回数を検証
+例えば、次のように特定の文字列を含んでいる場合は`writeFile`を適用させない場合のテストを書きたいとします。
+```haskell
+operationProgram inputPath outputPath = do
+  content <- readFile inputPath
+  unless (pack "ngWord" `isInfixOf` content) $
+    writeFile outputPath content
+```
+
+これは次のように`applyTimesIs`関数を使うことで実現できます。
+```haskell
+import Test.MockCat as M
+...
+it "Read, and output files (contain ng word)" do
+  result <- runMockT do
+    _readFile ("input.txt" |> pack "contains ngWord")
+    _writeFile ("output.txt" |> M.any |> ()) `applyTimesIs` 0
+    operationProgram "input.txt" "output.txt"
+
+  result `shouldBe` ()
+```
+`0`を指定することで適用されなかったことを検証できます。
+
+あるいは`neverApply`関数を使うことで同じことが実現できます。
+```haskell
+result <- runMockT do
+  _readFile ("input.txt" |> pack "contains ngWord")
+  neverApply $ _writeFile ("output.txt" |> M.any |> ())
+  operationProgram "input.txt" "output.txt"
+```
+
+`M.any`は任意の値にマッチするパラメーターです。
+この例では`M.any`を使って、あらゆる値に対して`writeFile`関数が適用されないことを検証しています。
+
+後述しますが、mockcatは`M.any`以外にも様々なパラメーターを用意しています。
+
+### 定数関数のモック
+mockcatは定数関数もモックにできます。
+`MonadReader`をモックにし、`ask`のスタブ関数を使ってみます。
+```haskell
+data Environment = Environment { inputPath :: String, outputPath :: String }
+
+operationProgram ::
+  MonadReader Environment m =>
+  FileOperation m =>
+  m ()
+operationProgram = do
+  (Environment inputPath outputPath) <- ask
+  content <- readFile inputPath
+  writeFile outputPath content
+
+makeMock [t|MonadReader Environment|]
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "Read, and output files (with MonadReader)" do
+    r <- runMockT do
+      _ask (Environment "input.txt" "output.txt")
+      _readFile ("input.txt" |> pack "content")
+      _writeFile ("output.txt" |> pack "content" |> ())
+      operationProgram
+    r `shouldBe` ()
+```
+ここで、`ask`を使わないようにしてみます。
+```haskell
+operationProgram = do
+  content <- readFile "input.txt"
+  writeFile "output.txt" content
+```
+するとテスト実行に失敗し、スタブ関数が適用されなかったことが表示されます。
+```haskell
+It has never been applied function `_ask`
+```
+### `IO a`型の値を返すモック
+通常定数関数は同じ値を返しますが、`IO a`型の値を返すモックの場合のみ、適用する度に別の値を返すようなモックを作ることができます。
+例えば型クラス`Teletype`とテスト対象の関数`echo`が定義されているとします。
+`echo`は、`readTTY`が返す値によって異なる動作をします。
+```haskell
+class Monad m => Teletype m where
+  readTTY :: m String
+  writeTTY :: String -> m ()
+
+echo :: Teletype m => m ()
+echo = do
+  i <- readTTY
+  case i of
+    "" -> pure ()
+    _  -> writeTTY i >> echo
+```
+  `readTTY`が`""`以外を返した場合は、再帰的に呼び出されることを検証したいでしょう。
+  そのためには、一度のテストの中で`readTTY`が異なる値を返せる必要があります。
+  これを実現するためには、`implicitMonadicReturn`オプションを指定してモックを作ります。
+  `implicitMonadicReturn`を使うことで、スタブ関数が明示的にモナディックな値を返せるようになります。
+```haskell
+makeMockWithOptions [t|Teletype|] options { implicitMonadicReturn = False }
+```
+これによりテストでは、`onCase`を使って、1回目の適用では`""`以外の値を返し、2回目の適用では`""`を返すような動作をさせることが可能になります。
+```haskell
+result <- runMockT do
+  _readTTY $ do
+    onCase $ pure @IO "a"
+    onCase $ pure @IO ""
+
+  _writeTTY $ "a" |> pure @IO ()
+  echo
+result `shouldBe` ()
+```
+### 部分的なモック
+`makePartialMock`関数を使うと、型クラスに定義された関数の一部だけをモックにできます。
+
+例えば次のような型クラスと関数があったとします。  
+`getUserInput`がテスト対象の関数です。
+```haskell
+data UserInput = UserInput String deriving (Show, Eq)
+
+class Monad m => UserInputGetter m where
+  getInput :: m String
+  toUserInput :: String -> m (Maybe UserInput)
+
+getUserInput :: UserInputGetter m => m (Maybe UserInput)
+getUserInput = do
+  i <- getInput
+  toUserInput i
+```
+この例では、一部本物の関数を使いたいので、次のように`IO`インスタンスを定義します。
+```haskell
+instance UserInputGetter IO where
+  getInput = getLine
+  toUserInput "" = pure Nothing
+  toUserInput a = (pure . Just . UserInput) a
+```
+テストは次のようになります。
+```haskell
+makePartialMock [t|UserInputGetter|]
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "Get user input (has input)" do
+    a <- runMockT do
+      _getInput "value"
+      getUserInput
+    a `shouldBe` Just (UserInput "value")
+
+  it "Get user input (no input)" do
+    a <- runMockT do
+      _getInput ""
+      getUserInput
+    a `shouldBe` Nothing
+```
+
+### スタブ関数の名前を変える
+生成されるスタブ関数の接頭辞と接尾辞はオプションで変更することができます。  
+例えば次のように指定すると、`stub_readFile_fn`と`stub_writeFile_fn`関数が生成されます。
+```haskell
+makeMockWithOptions [t|FileOperation|] options { prefix = "stub_", suffix = "_fn" }
+```
+オプションが指定されない場合はデフォルトで`_`になります。
+
+### makeMockが生成するコード
+使用する上で意識する必要はありませんが、`makeMock`関数は次のようなコードを生成します。
+```haskell
+-- MockTインスタンス
+instance (Monad m) => FileOperation (MockT m) where
+  readFile :: Monad m => FilePath -> MockT m Text
+  writeFile :: Monad m => FilePath -> Text -> MockT m ()
+
+_readFile :: (MockBuilder params (FilePath -> Text) (Param FilePath), Monad m) => params -> MockT m ()
+_writeFile :: (MockBuilder params (FilePath -> Text -> ()) (Param FilePath :> Param Text), Monad m) => params -> MockT m ()
+```
+
+## 関数のモック
+mockcatはモナド型クラスのモックだけでなく、通常の関数のモックを作ることもできます。  
+モナド型のモックとは異なり、元になる関数は不要です。
+
+### 使用例
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "使い方の例" do
+    -- モックの生成("value"を適用すると、純粋な値Trueを返す)
+    mock <- createMock $ "value" |> True
+
+    -- モックからスタブ関数を取り出す
+    let stubFunction = stubFn mock
+
+    -- 関数の適用結果を検証
+    stubFunction "value" `shouldBe` True
+
+    -- 期待される値("value")が適用されたかを検証
+    mock `shouldApplyTo` "value"
+
+```
+
+### スタブ関数
+スタブ関数を直接作るには `createStubFn` 関数を使います。  
+検証が不要な場合は、こちらを使うとよいでしょう。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "スタブ関数を生成することができる" do
+    -- 生成
+    f <- createStubFn $ "param1" |> "param2" |> pure @IO ()
+
+    -- 適用
+    actual <- f "param1" "param2"
+
+    -- 検証
+    actual `shouldBe` ()
+```
+`createStubFn` 関数には、関数が適用されることを期待する引数を `|>` で連結して渡します。
+`|>` の最後の値が関数の返り値となります。
+
+スタブ関数が期待されていない引数に適用された場合はエラーとなります。
+```console
+uncaught exception: ErrorCall
+Expected arguments were not applied to the function.
+  expected: "value"
+  but got: "valuo"
+```
+### 名前付きスタブ関数
+スタブ関数には名前を付けることができます。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "named stub" do
+    f <- createNamedStubFun "named stub" $ "x" |> "y" |> True
+    f "x" "z" `shouldBe` True
+```
+期待した引数に適用されなかった場合に出力されるエラーメッセージには、この名前が含まれるようになります。
+```console
+uncaught exception: ErrorCall
+Expected arguments were not applied to the function `named stub`.
+  expected: "x","y"
+  but got: "x","z"
+```
+
+### 定数スタブ関数
+定数を返すようなスタブ関数を作るには`createConstantMock`もしくは`createNamedConstantMock`関数を使います。  
+
+```haskell
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "createConstantMock" do
+    m <- createConstantMock "foo"
+    stubFn m `shouldBe` "foo"
+    shouldApplyToAnything m
+
+  it "createNamedConstantMock" do
+    m <- createNamedConstantMock "const" "foo"
+    stubFn m `shouldBe` "foo"
+    shouldApplyToAnything m
+```
+
+### 柔軟なスタブ関数
+`createStubFn` 関数に具体的な値ではなく、条件式を与えることで、柔軟なスタブ関数を生成できます。  
+これを使うと、任意の値や、特定のパターンに合致する文字列などに対して期待値を返すことができます。  
+これはモナド型のモックを生成した際のスタブ関数も同様です。
+### any
+`any` は任意の値にマッチします。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+import Prelude hiding (any)
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "any" do
+    f <- createStubFn $ any |> "return value"
+    f "something" `shouldBe` "return value"
+```
+Preludeに同名の関数が定義されているため、`import Prelude hiding (any)`としています。
+
+### 条件式
+`expect`関数を使うと任意の条件式を扱えます。  
+`expect`関数は条件式とラベルをとります。  
+ラベルは条件式にマッチしなかった場合のエラーメッセージに使われます。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "expect" do
+    f <- createStubFn $ expect (> 5) "> 5" |> "return value"
+    f 6 `shouldBe` "return value"
+```
+
+### ラベルなし条件式
+`expect_` は `expect` のラベルなし版です。  
+エラーメッセージには [some condition] と表示されます。
+
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "expect_" do
+    f <- createStubFn $ expect_ (> 5) |> "return value"
+    f 6 `shouldBe` "return value"
+```
+
+### Template Haskellを使った条件式
+`expectByExp`を使うと、`Q Exp`型の値として条件式を扱えます。  
+エラーメッセージには条件式を文字列化したものが使われます。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "expectByExpr" do
+    f <- createStubFn $ $(expectByExpr [|(> 5)|]) |> "return value"
+    f 6 `shouldBe` "return value"
+```
+
+### 適用される引数ごとに異なる値を返すスタブ関数
+`onCase`関数を使うと引数ごとに異なる値を返すスタブ関数を作れます。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "multi" do
+    f <- createStubFn do
+      onCase $ "a" |> "return x"
+      onCase $ "b" |> "return y"
+
+    f "a" `shouldBe` "return x"
+    f "b" `shouldBe` "return y"
+```
+
+### 同じ引数に適用されたとき異なる値を返すスタブ関数
+`onCase`関数を使うとき、引数が同じで返り値が異なるようにすると、同じ引数に適用しても異なる値を返すスタブ関数を作れます。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+import GHC.IO (evaluate)
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "Return different values for the same argument" do
+    f <- createStubFn do
+      onCase $ "arg" |> "x"
+      onCase $ "arg" |> "y"
+
+    -- Do not allow optimization to remove duplicates.
+    v1 <- evaluate $ f "arg"
+    v2 <- evaluate $ f "arg"
+    v3 <- evaluate $ f "arg"
+    v1 `shouldBe` "x"
+    v2 `shouldBe` "y"
+    v3 `shouldBe` "y" -- After the second time, “y” is returned.
+```
+あるいは`cases`関数を使うこともできます。
+```haskell
+f <-
+  createStubFn $
+    cases
+      [ "a" |> "return x",
+        "b" |> "return y"
+      ]
+
+f "a" `shouldBe` "return x"
+f "b" `shouldBe` "return y"
+```
+
+## 検証
+### 期待される引数に適用されたか検証する
+期待される引数に適用されたかは `shouldApplyTo` 関数で検証することができます。  
+検証を行う場合は、`createStubFn` 関数ではなく `createMock` 関数でモックを作る必要があります。
+この場合スタブ関数は `stubFn` 関数でモックから取り出して使います。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "stub & verify" do
+    -- create a mock
+    mock <- createMock $ "value" |> True
+    -- stub function
+    let stubFunction = stubFn mock
+    -- assert
+    stubFunction "value" `shouldBe` True
+    -- verify
+    mock `shouldApplyTo` "value"
+```
+### 注
+適用されたという記録は、スタブ関数の返り値が評価される時点で行われます。  
+したがって、検証は返り値の評価後に行う必要があります。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "Verification does not work" do
+    mock <- createMock $ "expect arg" |> "return value"
+    -- 引数の適用は行うが返り値は評価しない
+    let _ = stubFn mock "expect arg"
+    mock `shouldApplyTo` "expect arg"
+```
+```console
+uncaught exception: ErrorCall
+Expected arguments were not applied to the function.
+  expected: "expect arg"
+  but got: Never been called.
+```
+
+### 期待される引数に適用された回数を検証する
+期待される引数が適用された回数は `shouldApplyTimes` 関数で検証することができます。
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE BlockArguments #-}
+{-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = do
+  it "shouldApplyTimes" do
+    m <- createMock $ "value" |> True
+    print $ stubFn m "value"
+    print $ stubFn m "value"
+    m `shouldApplyTimes` (2 :: Int) `to` "value"
+```
+
+### 何かしらに適用されたかを検証する

 ## Overview
-mockcat is a mock library for Haskell.  
+mockcat is a lightweight, declarative mocking & stubbing DSL for Haskell.
 
-It can easily generate stub functions and verify the application of stub functions.
+You describe expected applications using a left‑to‑right pipeline (`arg |> arg |> returnValue`) and then either:
+* run function mocks directly, or
+* generate typeclass mocks via Template Haskell (`makeMock`, `makePartialMock`) and run them inside `runMockT` with automatic verification.
 
 [日本語版 README はこちら](https://github.com/pujoheadsoft/mockcat/blob/master/README-ja.md)
 
+### Features
+* Small surface: describe a case with `arg |> ... |> result` – no separate expectation language
+* Concurrency‑safe counting: parallel applications don’t lose or double count
+* Honest laziness: an unevaluated result doesn’t register as a call; nothing is forced behind your back
+* Flexible returns: change results per argument or per occurrence (including identical args later)
+* Partial mocking: generate only the methods you care about with `makePartialMock`
+* Monadic return variation: for `IO a` you can vary the monadic result across calls
+* Clear failures: messages show the raw arguments and matcher labels directly
+* Low ceremony constant stubs: `createConstantMock` / `createNamedConstantMock`
+* Template Haskell helpers: `makeMock` to cut boilerplate for typeclasses
+* No hidden global state: tests stay isolated
+
+Designed to be something you can pick up to stub one or two spots and then forget again – more a handy extension of regular Haskell testing than a new framework.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Function mock:
+```haskell
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = it "simple function mock" do
+  m <- createMock $ "input" |> 42
+  stubFn m "input" `shouldBe` 42
+  m `shouldApplyTo` "input"
+```
+
+Typeclass mock:
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
+import Test.Hspec
+import Test.MockCat
+
+class Monad m => KV m where
+  getKV :: String -> m (Maybe String)
+  putKV :: String -> String -> m ()
+
+makeMock [t|KV|]
+
+program :: KV m => m (Maybe String)
+program = do
+  putKV "k" "v"
+  getKV "k"
+
+spec :: Spec
+spec = it "kv" do
+  r <- runMockT do
+    _putKV ("k" |> "v" |> ())
+    _getKV ("k" |> Just "v")
+    program
+  r `shouldBe` Just "v"
+```
+
+Non‑invocation (two styles):
+```haskell
+  _putKV ("x" |> "y" |> ()) `applyTimesIs` 0
+  neverApply $ _putKV ("x" |> "y" |> ())
+```
+
+### Core Concepts (Brief)
+* Pipeline DSL: `a |> b |> returnValue` describes one expected application.
+* Matchers: `any`, `expect p label`, `expect_ p`, `$(expectByExpr [| predicate |])`.
+* Argument‑dependent returns: `onCase` or `cases [...]` (including differing values for same arg on later occurrences).
+* Counting: `applyTimesIs`, `neverApply`, plus `shouldApplyTimes*` predicates on mocks.
+* Ordering: `shouldApplyInOrder`, `shouldApplyInPartialOrder`.
+* Concurrency: Call recorded only when result evaluated; counting atomic.
+* Partial mocks: `makePartialMock` for generating only some methods.
+* Monadic return variation (`IO a`): enable with `implicitMonadicReturn` option.
+
+### Concurrency & Laziness Semantics
+Within `runMockT`:
+1. Each evaluated application contributes 1 count (atomic IORef).
+2. Unforced results are not recorded.
+3. Order checks reflect evaluation order, not mere start time.
+4. Finish async work before verification.
+5. Fresh state per `runMockT` – no cross‑test leakage.
+
+### Architecture Notes (≥ 0.5.3.0)
+Refactor from `StateT` to `ReaderT (IORef [Definition])` to:
+* Provide lawful `MonadUnliftIO` instance for safe `withRunInIO` / `async`.
+* Remove lost/double count races via strict `atomicModifyIORef'`.
+* Eliminate `unsafePerformIO` & hidden global state.
+* Simplify TH output & reduce constraint noise.
+
+Migration: internal `(modify/get)` swapped to `addDefinition/getDefinitions` (via `MonadMockDefs`). Public DSL unchanged.

+Concurrency safety (summary):
+  * Within a single 'runMockT' invocation, concurrent applications of stub
+    functions are recorded without lost or double counts. This is achieved via
+    atomic modifications ('atomicModifyIORef'').
+  * The /moment/ a call is recorded is when the stub's return value is evaluated;
+    if you only create an application but never force the result, it will not
+    appear in the verification log.
+  * Order-sensitive checks reflect evaluation order, not necessarily wall-clock
+    start order between threads.
+  * Perform verification (e.g. 'shouldApplyTimes', 'applyTimesIs') after all
+    parallel work has completed; running it mid-flight may observe fewer calls
+    simply because some results are still lazy.
+  * Each 'runMockT' call uses a fresh IORef store; mocks are not shared across
+    separate 'runMockT' boundaries.
