Projects

kaiNET

Commits: 2 | Files Changed: 2

Enhanced the kaiNET chat application with history loading functionality and improved user notifications, while cleaning up accidental binary commits.

Highlights

• Implemented /history command allowing users to load last n messages

• Added broadcast notification system for /burn command with username display

• Enhanced UI with color-coded SYSTEM messages using red text and *** markers

• Updated help documentation to include new /history command

Technical Decisions

• Used SYSTEM message type with distinctive visual formatting (red color, *** markers)

• Implemented parameterized history loading with /history syntax

• Added broadcast messaging for user actions affecting chat state

Learning Moments

• Working with co-author Claude suggests exploring AI-assisted development workflow

• Implementing chat history management and user notification systems

noclaude

Commits: 1 | Files Changed: 12

Major 2.0.0 release featuring a complete architectural refactor to modular design with new scanner modes for batch GitHub repository processing and local directory scanning. The substantial code changes (+1854/-50 lines across 12 files) represent a significant expansion of functionality while maintaining backward compatibility.

Highlights

• Released major version 2.0.0 with significant new functionality

• Added scanner mode for batch processing GitHub repositories

• Implemented local-scanner mode for directory tree processing

• Refactored codebase into modular architecture with 8 separate modules

• Built comprehensive 3-stage verification system

• Added robust logging and reporting capabilities

• Maintained backward compatibility with existing single-repo mode

Technical Decisions

• Chose modular architecture over monolithic structure for better maintainability

• Implemented 3-stage verification system for reliability

• Decided to maintain backward compatibility rather than breaking changes

• Added comprehensive logging infrastructure for better debugging and monitoring

Learning Moments

• Explored batch processing patterns for handling multiple repositories

• Implemented directory tree scanning for local filesystem operations

• Developed verification systems for ensuring processing reliability
