## Current Work Focus
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**All User Experience Improvements Complete**: Successfully implemented all priority UX enhancements including status appearance improvements and entry details consistency. The application now has a professional interface with enhanced visual design and is ready for Phase 4 advanced edit features.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Immediate Next Steps
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Priority 1: Phase 4 Advanced Edit Features

 | 
			
		||||
2. **Delete entries**: Remove host entries with confirmation
 | 
			
		||||
3. **Entry editing**: Modify IP addresses, hostnames, and comments inline
 | 
			
		||||
4. **Search functionality**: Find entries by hostname or IP address
 | 
			
		||||
5. **Help modal**: Proper modal dialog with keyboard shortcuts
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Priority 2: Advanced Features Implementation

### Status Appearance Enhancement ✅ COMPLETED
 | 
			
		||||
Successfully implemented the user's requested status display improvements:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**New Header Layout:**
 | 
			
		||||

**Overlay Status Bar Implementation:**
 | 
			
		||||
- **Fixed layout shifting issue**: Status bar now appears as overlay without moving panes down
 | 
			
		||||
- **Corrected positioning**: Status bar appears below header as overlay using `dock: top`, `layer: overlay`, `offset-y: 3`
 | 
			
		||||
- **Visible error messages**: Error messages now display correctly as overlay on content area
 | 
			
		||||
- **No layout flow impact**: Panes stay in exact same position when error messages appear
 | 
			
		||||
- **Professional appearance**: Error bar overlays cleanly below header without disrupting content layout
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Implementation Details:**
 | 
			
		||||
- Moved status bar widget to end of compose method for overlay rendering
 | 
			
		||||
- Status bar positioned 3 lines down from top (below header) using CSS offset
 | 
			
		||||
- Status bar is hidden by default, only appears when displaying messages
 | 
			
		||||
- Error messages (❌) auto-clear after 5 seconds, regular messages after 3 seconds
 | 
			
		||||
- Header subtitle always shows current status regardless of temporary messages
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Test Updates:**
 | 
			
		||||
- All 149 tests passing with overlay status bar implementation
 | 
			
		||||
- Fixed layout shifting that was annoying when error messages appeared
 | 
			
		||||
- Verified functionality maintains all previous behaviorive Context: hosts
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Current Work Focus
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Status Appearance Enhancement Complete**: Successfully implemented the user's requested status display improvements. The header now shows "/etc/hosts Manager" with entry counts and mode on the right, while error messages appear in a dedicated status bar below the header. Ready to proceed with remaining UX improvements from todo.md.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Immediate Next Steps
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Priority 1: Remaining User Experience Improvements (From todo.md)
 | 
			
		||||
1. ✅ **Status appearance enhancement**: COMPLETED - New header layout with separate error message bar
 | 
			
		||||
2. ✅ **Entry details consistency**: COMPLETED - DataTable with labeled rows matching edit form order
 | 
			
		||||
3. ❌ **DataTable details implementation**: COMPLETED as part of entry details consistency
 | 
			
		||||
4. ❌ **Sudo permission fixes**: Address known sudo handling issues
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Priority 2: Phase 4 Planning
 | 
			
		||||
Once remaining UX improvements are complete:
 | 
			
		||||
1. **Advanced entry operations**: Add/delete entries with validation
 | 
			
		||||
2. **Search functionality**: Find entries by hostname or IP address  
 | 
			
		||||
3. **Bulk operations**: Select and modify multiple entries
 | 
			
		||||
4. **Help modal**: Proper modal dialog with keyboard shortcuts
