CodePulse – Smart Function Change Detector

CodePulse is a VS Code extension that prevents runtime crashes by monitoring Python functions for logic changes and warning you when dependent functions may break.

Why CodePulse Prevents Runtime Crashes

file A.py → function f1() file B.py → calls f1()

If you modify f1(): Python will NOT warn you VS Code will NOT warn you The error appears only at runtime, sometimes in production

Features

• Detects function logic changes using hashing
• Traces dependency graph automatically
• Alerts you via Status Bar + Expandable panel
• Supports watching multiple folders
• Helps prevent hidden runtime errors

How to use

• Add folders/files to watch using VS Code Settings: Settings → Search “CodePulse” → Add Python directories to codePulse.watchFiles
• Now just simple do your work, and CodePulse will be workign along with you to make your development go smooth.
• Status bar alert will appear to give a expandable panel with affected functions.

Limitations

This is an early version. Please note: Only function-level tracking is supported (Python-only) Class methods, decorators, inheritance logic NOT analysed yet(Will be added in future releases) Does not guarantee catching all complex runtime behaviors This extension is meant as a helper, not a full static analyzer.
