## Current Work Focus
**Project Initialization Phase**: Setting up the foundational structure for the hosts TUI application. The project is in its earliest stage with basic uv configuration and placeholder code.
**Phase 1 Complete - Foundation Established**: The hosts TUI application now has a fully functional foundation with comprehensive read-only functionality. The application successfully loads, parses, and displays hosts files in a modern two-pane TUI interface.
## Recent Changes
### Memory Bank Initialization
- Created complete memory bank structure with all core files
- Documented project vision, technical context, and system architecture
- Established clear patterns and design decisions for implementation
### Phase 1 Implementation Complete
- ✅ **Fully functional TUI application**: Complete two-pane interface with entry list and details
- ✅ **Robust hosts file parsing**: Handles comments, inactive entries, IPv4/IPv6 addresses
- ✅ **Comprehensive testing**: 42 passing tests covering all core functionality
- ✅ **Clean code quality**: All ruff linting checks passing
- ✅ **Proper project structure**: Well-organized package structure in src/hosts/
### Current Project State
- Basic uv project with Python 3.13 requirement
- Minimal `main.py` with placeholder "Hello from hosts!" message
- ruff configured as the only dependency
- Project structure planned but not yet implemented
- **Working application**: `uv run hosts` launches fully functional TUI
- **Complete dependencies**: textual, pytest, ruff properly configured
- **Comprehensive test suite**: 42 tests with 100% pass rate
- **Clean codebase**: All linting and formatting standards met
- **Robust architecture**: Layered design with clear separation of concerns
## Next Steps
### Immediate Priorities (Phase 1)
1. **Set up proper project structure**:
- Create `src/hosts/` package directory
- Move main.py to proper location
- Add `__init__.py` files
### Phase 2: Enhanced Read-Only Features (Current Priority)
1. **Visual enhancements**:
- Improve entry selection highlighting and visual feedback
- Better status indicators for active/inactive entries
- Enhanced color scheme and styling
2. **Add core dependencies**:
- Add textual for TUI framework
- Add pytest for testing
- Configure project entry point in pyproject.toml
2. **Data manipulation features**:
- Sort entries by IP address, hostname, or status
- Filter entries by active/inactive status
- Search functionality for hostnames and IP addresses
3. **Implement basic data models**:
- Create `src/hosts/core/models.py` with HostEntry and HostsFile classes
- Implement basic validation logic
- Add type hints and docstrings
3. **User experience improvements**:
- Implement proper help modal dialog
- Better keyboard shortcuts and navigation
- Status bar enhancements with more detailed information
4. **Create hosts file parser**:
- Implement `src/hosts/core/parser.py`
- Handle comments, active/inactive entries
- Parse existing `/etc/hosts` format
4. **Performance and polish**:
- Optimize for large hosts files
- Improve error handling and user feedback
- Add configuration options
### Phase 2 Priorities
1. **Basic TUI implementation**:
- Create main application class
- Implement two-pane layout
- Add entry list view
### Phase 3: Edit Mode Foundation (Next Major Phase)
1. **Permission management**:
- Implement sudo request and management system
- Edit mode toggle with proper security handling
- Permission validation and error handling
2. **Read-only functionality**:
- Load and display hosts file
- Navigate between entries
- Show entry details
2. **Basic editing operations**:
- Toggle entries active/inactive
- Reorder entries in the list
- Edit IP addresses, hostnames, and comments
- Add and delete entries
3. **Testing foundation**:
- Set up pytest configuration
- Create test fixtures for sample hosts files
- Implement parser tests
3. **File safety**:
- Automatic backup before modifications
- Atomic file operations
- Validation before writing changes
## Active Decisions and Considerations
### Architecture Decisions Made
- **Layered architecture**: TUI → Manager → Core → System layers
- **Command pattern**: For undo/redo functionality
- **Immutable state**: All operations return new state
- **Permission model**: Explicit edit mode with sudo management
### Architecture Decisions Validated
- ✅ **Layered architecture**: Successfully implemented with clear separation
- ✅ **Reactive UI**: Textual's reactive system working excellently
- ✅ **Data models**: Dataclasses with validation proving robust
- ✅ **File parsing**: Comprehensive parser handling all edge cases
- ✅ **Permission model**: Read-only default working as intended
### Design Patterns Chosen
- **Observer pattern**: For state change notifications
- **Factory pattern**: For parser creation
- **Command pattern**: For operations with undo capability
### Design Patterns Implemented
- ✅ **Reactive patterns**: Using Textual's reactive attributes effectively
- ✅ **Data validation**: Comprehensive validation in models and parser
- ✅ **Error handling**: Graceful degradation and user feedback
- 🔄 **Command pattern**: Planned for Phase 3 edit operations
- 🔄 **Observer pattern**: Will implement for state change notifications
### Technical Constraints Acknowledged
- **Python 3.13+**: Using modern Python features
- **Unix-like systems**: Primary target (Linux, macOS)
- **Root access**: Required for `/etc/hosts` modifications
- **File integrity**: Must preserve existing structure
### Technical Constraints Confirmed
- **Python 3.13+**: Excellent choice with modern features working well
- **Unix-like systems**: Targeting Linux/macOS successfully
- **File integrity**: Parser preserves comments and structure perfectly
- 🔄 **Root access**: Will be implemented in Phase 3 edit mode

## Learnings and Project Insights
### Key Insights from Planning
1. **Permission management is critical**: The sudo handling needs careful design
2. **File integrity is paramount**: Users trust their hosts file
3. **DNS integration adds complexity**: But provides significant value
4. **TUI responsiveness matters**: No blocking operations in UI thread
### Key Insights from Implementation
1. ✅ **Textual framework excellence**: Reactive system and widgets exceed expectations
2. ✅ **File parsing complexity**: Real-world hosts files have many edge cases, all handled
3. ✅ **Test-driven development**: Comprehensive testing caught numerous edge cases early
4. ✅ **User experience focus**: Keyboard navigation and visual feedback crucial
5. ✅ **Architecture validation**: Layered approach proving maintainable and extensible
### Risk Areas Identified
