Users can now access the WebUI remotely (e.g., via VS Code tunnels,
remote servers) by specifying a host address:
python start_ui.py --host 0.0.0.0
python start_ui.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8888
Changes:
- Added --host and --port CLI arguments to start_ui.py
- Security warning displayed when remote access is enabled
- AUTOCODER_ALLOW_REMOTE env var passed to server
- server/main.py conditionally disables localhost middleware
- CORS updated to allow all origins when remote access is enabled
- Browser auto-open disabled for remote hosts
Security considerations documented in warning:
- File system access to project directories
- API can start/stop agents and modify files
- Recommend firewall or VPN for protection

Addresses concerns from PR #76 code review:
- Add exception handling for stat() calls to prevent crashes from race
conditions when files are deleted/modified during iteration
- Add 2-second timestamp tolerance for FAT32 filesystem compatibility
(FAT32 has 2-second mtime precision on USB drives/SD cards)
- Add config file checks (package.json, vite.config.ts, tailwind.config.ts,
tsconfig.json, etc.) that also require rebuilds when changed
- Add logging to show which file triggered the rebuild for debugging

Enhance the build_frontend() function to detect when source files have
been modified more recently than the newest file in dist/ directory.
This ensures the UI is rebuilt automatically when source code changes,
preventing stale UI from being served after pulling updates or switching
branches.
Changes:
- Find newest modification time among all files in ui/dist/
- Compare each source file in ui/src/ against newest dist file
- Trigger rebuild if any source file is newer than newest dist file
- Handle edge case when dist/ exists but contains no files
- Prevent serving outdated JavaScript bundles after code changes
This fix applies to all UI launch methods (start_ui.sh, start_ui.bat)
since they all call start_ui.py which contains the build logic.
