GOAL
Make left/right paging wrap between sections at page boundaries, cache RSS section fetches for 120s with prefetch on launch, and preserve cached content when offline.
- +0Prompt · +0Investigate and implement: left/right navigates sections at page boundaries, cache RSS on launch for 120s, preserve cached content when offline.
- +1mAgent did · +1mExplored browse, rss, cache and fetch packages to understand existing navigation, caching, and fetch logic before making changes.
- +4mAgent did · +4mAdded internal/rss/cache.go and prefetch.go, updated rss.go to cache fetches with stale fallback, wired prefetch into browse.go, and updated model.go so left/right at page boundaries switches sections.
- +6mPrompt · +6mDiffs please
- +37mPrompt · +37mOpportunities to refactor/simplify before commit/push? Do it.
- +37mAgent did · +37mRefactored: exposed shared CacheDir() helper, deduped rss cache dir naming, simplified FetchSection fallback logic, and consolidated left/right paging logic in model.go.
- +38mPrompt · +38mIncrement version and commit/push when done, ignoring unrelated changes, and update homebrew.
- +38mAgent did · +38mBumped version to 0.3.8, updated release notes, committed and pushed 8 files, tagged v0.3.8, created GitHub release, computed new tarball sha256, and updated + pushed the homebrew-tap formula.
- +40mOutcome · +40mCommitted 8 files (158 insertions, 39 deletions), pushed v0.3.8, published GitHub release, and updated homebrew tap formula; unrelated demo/ changes left untouched.
VERDICT
I'd ask upfront for the diff-review and refactor pass to happen before I even see the first summary, since I always want to sanity-check the logic before pushing. Asking it to explain the logic per-file (not just paste diffs) was what actually let me verify the section-switching and cache fallback behaved as intended. Ignoring the unrelated demo/ work throughout was straightforward and it respected that the whole way.
