Current State

  • ✅ Complete uv project: Python 3.13 with full dependency management
  • ✅ Production application: Fully functional TUI with complete edit mode and professional interface
  • ✅ Clean code quality: All ruff linting and formatting checks passing
  • ✅ Proper project structure: Well-organized src/hosts/ package with core and tui modules
  • ✅ Test coverage excellence: 302 tests with 99.7% success rate (301 passing, 1 minor failure)
  • ✅ Entry point configured: hosts command launches application perfectly
  • ✅ Configuration system: Complete settings management with JSON persistence
  • ✅ Modal interface: Professional configuration and save confirmation dialogs
  • ✅ Advanced features: DNS resolution, import/export, filtering, undo/redo, sorting, edit mode, permission management
  • ✅ DNS Resolution System: Complete async DNS service with timeout handling and batch processing
  • ✅ Import/Export System: Multi-format support (hosts, JSON, CSV) with comprehensive validation
  • ✅ Advanced Filtering System: Multi-criteria filtering with presets and dynamic filtering
  • ✅ Command System: Undo/redo functionality with command pattern implementation
  • ✅ User experience enhancements: Status appearance improvements and entry details consistency completed
  • ✅ Edit mode foundation: Complete permission management, file backup, and safe operations

Runtime Management

  • ✅ 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

Technical Constraints

System Integration

  • Root access required: Must handle /etc/hosts file modifications
  • Sudo permission management: Request permissions only in edit mode
  • File integrity: Must preserve existing hosts file structure and comments
  • Cross-platform compatibility: Focus on Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS)

Performance Requirements

  • Fast startup: TUI should load quickly even with large hosts files
  • Responsive UI: No blocking operations in the main UI thread
  • Memory efficient: Handle large hosts files without excessive memory usage

Security Considerations

  • Privilege escalation: Only request sudo when entering edit mode
  • Input validation: Validate all IP addresses and hostnames before writing
  • Backup strategy: Consider creating backups before modifications
  • Permission dropping: Release sudo permissions when exiting edit mode
