## Active Decisions and Considerations
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Architecture Decisions Made
 | 
			
		||||
- **Layered architecture**: TUI → Business Logic → System Interface
 | 
			
		||||
- **Repository pattern**: Abstract file operations for testability
 | 
			
		||||
- **Command pattern**: Encapsulate edit operations for undo support
 | 
			
		||||
- **Test-driven development**: Write tests before implementation
 | 
			
		||||
### Architecture Decisions Finalized
 | 
			
		||||
- **Layered architecture**: TUI → Business Logic → System Interface (implemented and proven)
 | 
			
		||||
- **Parser-first approach**: Robust foundation before UI complexity (successfully completed)
 | 
			
		||||
- **Test-driven development**: 54 comprehensive tests proving approach effectiveness
 | 
			
		||||
- **Safety-first design**: Backup and atomic operations prevent data loss
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Key Design Patterns
 | 
			
		||||
- **MVU (Model-View-Update)**: Following Bubble Tea conventions
 | 
			
		||||
- **Separation of concerns**: Clear boundaries between UI, business logic, and system operations
 | 
			
		||||
- **Graceful degradation**: Handle permission issues without crashing
 | 
			
		||||
### Parser Design Patterns Implemented
 | 
			
		||||
- **Intelligent formatting**: GCD-based spacing detection preserves original style
 | 
			
		||||
- **Warning system**: Non-fatal errors allow graceful degradation
 | 
			
		||||
- **Comment classification**: Distinguish between disabled entries and standalone comments
 | 
			
		||||
- **Round-trip consistency**: Parse → format → parse maintains structural integrity
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Technology Choices Confirmed
 | 
			
		||||
- **Go 1.21+**: Modern Go features and performance
 | 
			
		||||
- **Bubble Tea**: Mature, well-documented TUI framework
 | 
			
		||||
- **Testify**: Enhanced testing capabilities beyond stdlib
 | 
			
		||||
- **golangci-lint**: Code quality and consistency
 | 
			
		||||
### Technology Choices Validated
 | 
			
		||||
- **Go standard library**: Excellent for file operations and network validation
 | 
			
		||||
- **String manipulation**: Regex and string processing handle complex formatting
 | 
			
		||||
- **Testing ecosystem**: testify + table-driven tests provide excellent coverage
 | 
			
		||||
- **File safety**: Atomic operations with temp files prevent corruption
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### TUI Design Decisions (Ready to Implement)
 | 
			
		||||
- **MVU pattern**: Bubble Tea's Model-View-Update for predictable state management
 | 
			
		||||
- **Component hierarchy**: Main model coordinates list, detail, and modal components
 | 
			
		||||
- **Keyboard-driven**: Primary interaction method with mouse support as enhancement
 | 
			
		||||
- **Mode-based interaction**: Clear view/edit mode distinction for safety
