## Overview

Forge is a small PHP toolkit for common request-handling tasks: callers use its static facade to read input, validate data, manage responses, security and sessions, or access string helpers. Validation converts rule strings into checks; input combines request data and sanitizes strings; responses emit JSON or redirects. The README documents flash messages and the supported validation rules. Some module implementations were not sampled, so those capabilities are shown without speculative internal wiring.

Main entry points: [`src/Container/Container.php`](https://github.com/codexeron/the-project---forge/blob/Codexeron/src/Container/Container.php) (Instance container), [`src/Module/Security/SecurityManager.php`](https://github.com/codexeron/the-project---forge/blob/Codexeron/src/Module/Security/SecurityManager.php) (Security manager), [`src/Forge.php`](https://github.com/codexeron/the-project---forge/blob/Codexeron/src/Forge.php) (Forge facade), [`src/Module/Input/InputManager.php`](https://github.com/codexeron/the-project---forge/blob/Codexeron/src/Module/Input/InputManager.php) (Input manager)
