Refactor documentation: update active context, progress, project brief, system patterns, tech context to reflect code quality maintenance and testing improvements

- Implemented SaveConfirmationModal to prompt users for saving changes when exiting edit mode.
- Integrated modal into HostsManagerApp to handle unsaved changes.
- Added methods to validate and save entry changes, restoring original values if discarded.
- Created unit tests for SaveConfirmationModal and its integration with the main application.
- Refactored entry editing logic to track changes and confirm before exiting edit mode.

 ## Current Work Focus
 
-**Phase 3 Complete - Edit Mode Foundation**: The hosts TUI application now has a complete edit mode foundation with permission management, entry manipulation, and safe file operations. All keyboard shortcuts are implemented and tested. The application is ready for Phase 4 advanced edit features.
+**Post-Phase 3 Code Quality Maintenance**: The hosts TUI application has successfully completed Phase 3 with full edit mode foundation, save confirmation functionality, and comprehensive testing (149 tests). However, 20 minor linting issues (unused imports and variables) require cleanup before proceeding to Phase 4 advanced features.
+
+## Immediate Next Steps
+
+### Priority 1: Code Quality Cleanup
+1. **Fix linting issues**: Run `uv run ruff check --fix` to address 20 unused import and variable warnings
+2. **Validate fixes**: Ensure all tests still pass (149 tests) after cleanup
+3. **Confirm application functionality**: Test that `uv run hosts` still works perfectly
+4. **Commit clean state**: Create commit with "Fix linting issues" once cleanup is complete
+
+### Priority 2: Phase 4 Planning
+Once code quality is restored:
+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
