We welcome contributions! Please see our Developer Documentation for detailed development guidelines.
- UI Architecture: Main UI consolidated in
ContentView.swiftdue to Xcode build target limitations - Method Detection: Use centralized
Recipestatic methods for consistency - File Creation: Avoid creating new Swift files - they're difficult to add to Xcode project targets
- Testing: Maintain the stable test suite when making changes
