Standard Python formatters (like Black or Autopep8) fail when code has indentation errors. They can't format what they can't parse.
Python Indentation Healer fixes the broken structure first, allowing you to copy code from PDFs, blogs, or messy forums and paste it directly into VS Code without breaking your workflow.

Key Features
Context-Aware Engine (v3)
Uses "Look-Back" logic to find the correct parent for else, except, and finally blocks.
Handles deep nesting and complex class structures that flat-line formatters miss.
Smart Paste Integration
Intercepts Ctrl+V in Python files to apply fixes on the fly.
Works silently in the background.
"Boss Fight" Tested
Verified against complex nested loops, context managers (with open), and mixed indentation styles.

Ghost Tracker: Indentation logic now survives blank lines by remembering context.
