## Current Work Focus
**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.
**Phase 2 Complete - Enhanced Read-Only Features**: The hosts TUI application now has a complete and polished read-only interface with advanced features including configuration management, sorting, filtering, and professional visual design. The application is ready for Phase 3 edit mode implementation.
