🐛 Bug Fixes

NestJS Projects Not Showing in Explorer

Fixed a critical issue where NestJS projects were invisible:

• ✅ Fixed NestJS projects not appearing in the Projects view
• ✅ Project explorer now correctly detects both FastAPI and NestJS projects
• ✅ FastAPI projects detected via pyproject.toml
• ✅ NestJS projects detected via package.json with @nestjs/core dependency

Root Cause:
The project explorer was only looking for pyproject.toml files, which meant NestJS projects were completely ignored and not displayed in the sidebar.

Solution:
Enhanced project detection logic to check both Python and Node.js project markers:

• FastAPI: pyproject.toml file
• NestJS: package.json with @nestjs/core dependency

🔧 Improvements

Simplified Kit Selection

• Removed incomplete kits from project creation wizard
• Only standard kit is now available for both FastAPI and NestJS
• Prevents users from selecting incomplete/experimental kits (advanced, ddd)
• Cleaner, more focused project creation experience

Why?
The advanced and ddd kits are not yet complete in the core RapidKit framework. Hiding them prevents confusion and ensures users only create projects with fully-supported configurations.

🔍 Technical Details

Project Detection Logic

// FastAPI: Check for pyproject.toml
if (await fs.pathExists(path.join(projectPath, 'pyproject.toml'))) {
  // FastAPI project detected
}

// NestJS: Check for package.json with @nestjs/core
if (await fs.pathExists(path.join(projectPath, 'package.json'))) {
  const pkg = await fs.readJSON(packageJsonPath);
  if (pkg.dependencies?.['@nestjs/core']) {
    // NestJS project detected
  }
}
