📋 Description

This PR implements a complete React-based webview dashboard for the StackCode VS Code extension, transforming the extension from a basic command-line interface to a rich, interactive visual experience.

🎯 Main Achievements:

  • Complete React Dashboard Implementation with 5 interactive UI components
  • Modern TailwindCSS Design System integrated with VS Code themes
  • Robust Build & Development Workflow with Vite, TypeScript, and PostCSS
  • Enhanced Extension Architecture with proper webview communication and command handling
  • Comprehensive Testing & Quality Assurance with passing lint, format, and unit tests

🏗️ Technical Implementation:

  • Built responsive Dashboard, ProjectView, CommandPalette, NotificationPanel, and StatusBar components
  • Implemented secure Content Security Policy configuration for webview React app loading
  • Created bidirectional communication system between VS Code extension and React webview
  • Added real-time project statistics and workspace detection with fallback mechanisms
  • Enhanced debugging capabilities with comprehensive logging and error handling
