Iterative 'Foreman' IDE Extension
An IDE extension that abandons the 'autonomous agent' model in favor of a 'Foreman' workflow. It generates step-by-step markdown plans, allows the human to write the core logic, and automatically detects human edits to update its context, only stepping in to write boilerplate when commanded.
