v1.0.3 - 2025-01-04 🚫 Anti-Hardcoding Update

Major Enhancement: Complete elimination of hardcoded file assumptions

🔧 Enhanced Agent Mode

• 📂 File Discovery Tracking: New _discoveredFiles system tracks only actually found files
• 🔍 Enhanced Debug System: Comprehensive logging shows exactly which files AI attempts to access and blocks hardcoded assumptions

🛠️ Tool System Improvements

• ✅ Strict Discovery Enforcement: AI must discover files through directory listing before accessing them
• 🚫 Hardcoded Request Filtering: Blocks common hardcoded patterns (src/, main., app., index., package.json) unless discovered
• 🔄 Improved Follow-up Tools: Only work with actually discovered files, no more assumptions

🐛 Debug & Logging

• 📊 Comprehensive Tool Logging: Shows all tool execution attempts, blocked requests, and file discovery
• 🎨 Color-coded Debug Interface: Visual categorization of different log types
• 📈 File Discovery Statistics: Track discovery success and blocked hardcoded attempts

🔒 Fallback System Overhaul

• 📁 Safe Directory Listing Only: Fallback tools limited to safe directory exploration
• 🚫 No File Reading Without Discovery: Completely removed hardcoded file reading attempts
• 🎯 Discovery-First Approach: AI forced to explore actual project structure

📝 Technical Details

• Enhanced hardcoded detection patterns for broader coverage
• Active tool call filtering before LLM execution
• Modified follow-up system to use generic file patterns
• Complete removal of hardcoded file preferences
