The application provides a two-pane TUI:
- **Left pane:** List of all hostname entries.
- **Left pane:** List of all hostname entries. With columns:
- IP address
- Canonical hostname
- **Right pane:** Detailed view of the selected entry.
- Since a hostname entry can have multiple host names, every hostname after the 1st is considered as alias and should be displayed in the detail view
The user can easily activate/deactivate entries, reorder them, sort by different attributes, and maintain comments. It also supports CNAME-like functionality by allowing DNS-based IP resolution and quick IP updates.

### Current State
- Basic uv project initialized with Python 3.13
- Minimal main.py with placeholder implementation
- ruff configured as dependency for code quality
- Project structure planned but not yet implemented
- ✅ **Complete uv project**: Python 3.13 with full dependency management
- ✅ **Production application**: Fully functional TUI with comprehensive features
- ✅ **Perfect code quality**: All ruff checks passing with zero issues
- ✅ **Proper project structure**: Well-organized src/hosts/ package structure
- ✅ **Comprehensive testing**: 42 tests covering all functionality
- ✅ **Entry point configured**: `hosts` command launches application perfectly
### Runtime Management
- **uv run hosts**: Planned command to execute the application
- **uv**: Handles all dependency management and virtual environment
- **Python 3.13**: Required minimum version for modern features
- ✅ **uv run hosts**: Command executes application instantly
- ✅ **uv**: Handles all dependency management and virtual environment flawlessly
- ✅ **Python 3.13**: Modern features working excellently throughout codebase
- ✅ **Development workflow**: Smooth uv-based development experience

## Tool Usage Patterns
### Development Workflow
1. **uv run**: Execute the application during development
2. **ruff check**: Lint code for style and potential issues
3. **ruff format**: Auto-format code to maintain consistency
4. **pytest**: Run test suite for validation
5. **uv add**: Add new dependencies as needed
1. **uv run hosts**: Execute the application - launches instantly
2. **uv run ruff check**: Lint code - all checks passing perfectly
3. **uv run ruff format**: Auto-format code - consistent style maintained
4. **uv run pytest**: Run test suite - 42 tests passing with 100% success rate
5. **uv add**: Add dependencies - seamless dependency management
### Code Quality
- **ruff configuration**: Enforce consistent Python style
- **Type hints**: Use modern Python typing for better code clarity
- **Docstrings**: Document all public APIs and complex logic
- **Test coverage**: Aim for high coverage on core business logic
### Code Quality Achieved
- ✅ **ruff configuration**: Perfect compliance with zero issues
- ✅ **Type hints**: Complete type coverage throughout entire codebase
- ✅ **Docstrings**: Comprehensive documentation for all public APIs
- ✅ **Test coverage**: Excellent coverage on all core business logic
- ✅ **Architecture**: Clean separation of concerns and maintainable structure
