Summary of Changes

Hello @webdevcody, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the application's specification (spec) page and its underlying processes. It introduces greater control over spec generation by allowing users to specify whether to analyze their existing codebase or automatically generate features. The user interface for Kanban cards has been upgraded to visually represent feature priorities and dynamically arrange status badges. Additionally, the backend architecture for spec regeneration has been modularized, improving maintainability and introducing a new logging system. These changes collectively aim to provide a more intuitive and robust experience for defining and managing project specifications.

Highlights

• Enhanced Spec Generation Options: The spec creation and regeneration processes now include options to analyze the current project for context and to automatically generate a feature list after the spec is created.
• Improved Kanban Card Display: Kanban cards now display feature priority with color-coded badges, and the positioning of all badges (priority, skip tests, error, just finished, branch) has been made dynamic to prevent overlap.
• Persistent Workspace Directory: The 'New Project' modal now remembers and pre-fills the last used workspace directory, improving user experience for frequent project creation.
• Priority-Based Backlog Sorting: Features in the backlog are now automatically sorted by priority, allowing users to quickly identify and address high-priority tasks.
• Modular Backend for Spec Regeneration: The backend logic for spec regeneration has been significantly refactored into smaller, more maintainable modules, and a new logger utility has been introduced for better debugging and monitoring.
• Updated README and Run Instructions: The README has been substantially updated to provide a clearer overview of Automaker, its workflow, and simplified instructions for running the application.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a significant and valuable refactoring of the server-side spec regeneration logic, breaking it down into more manageable and modular components. The addition of a dedicated logger and the init.sh script are great improvements for maintainability and developer experience. The UI/UX enhancements on the spec page, including better state management and new generation options, are also well-executed. I've found one high-severity issue in the new server code where a streamed response from the agent is not being handled correctly, which could lead to incomplete data. Please see the specific comment for details.

[gemini-code-assist]

There seems to be a potential bug here. responseText is being overwritten with each new text block from the stream, instead of being concatenated. If the JSON response from the agent is streamed in multiple chunks, this will result in an incomplete JSON string, capturing only the last part of the response. This is inconsistent with the fix applied in auto-mode-service.ts and the logic in generate-spec.ts.

It should be responseText += block.text; to accumulate the full response.

Suggested change

	responseText = block.text;
	responseText += block.text;

[gemini-code-assist]

This is a great fix! Overwriting responseText in a streaming context is a common bug, and changing it to += correctly accumulates the full response from the agent. This will prevent issues with incomplete or malformed data.
