- Create shared `isSubmitEnter()` utility in `ui/src/lib/keyboard.ts`
for IME-aware Enter key handling across all input components
- Extract magic number 48 to named constant `COLLAPSED_DEBUG_PANEL_CLEARANCE`
with explanatory comment (40px panel header + 8px margin)
- Update 5 components to use the new utility:
- AssistantChat.tsx
- ExpandProjectChat.tsx
- SpecCreationChat.tsx
- FolderBrowser.tsx
- TerminalTabs.tsx
This follows up on PR #121 which added IME composition checks. The
refactoring centralizes the logic for easier maintenance and documents
the padding value that prevents Kanban cards from being cut off when
the debug panel is collapsed.

Add isComposing check to prevent Enter key from submitting messages
while Japanese (or other) IME input is in progress.
Affected components:
- AssistantChat
- ExpandProjectChat
- SpecCreationChat
- FolderBrowser
- TerminalTabs
Remove automatic subfolder creation when creating projects. Users now
select the exact folder they want to use, enabling support for existing
projects without requiring folder names to match project names.
Changes:
- NewProjectModal.tsx: Remove path concatenation that appended project
name to selected folder. Update instruction text to clarify users
select THE project folder, not a parent location.
- FolderBrowser.tsx: Add visual indicator "This folder will contain
all project files" to clarify selection behavior.
- projects.py: Add duplicate path validation to prevent multiple
projects from registering the same directory. Includes case-insensitive
path comparison on Windows for proper cross-platform support.
This allows users to:
- Use Auto Coder on existing projects by selecting their folder directly
- Have project names that differ from folder names (name is a registry label)
- Get clear feedback when a path is already registered under another name

This major update replaces the fixed `generations/` directory with support
for storing projects in any directory on the filesystem. Projects are now
tracked via a cross-platform registry system.
## New Features
### Project Registry (`registry.py`)
- Cross-platform registry storing project name-to-path mappings
- Platform-specific config locations:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\autonomous-coder\projects.json
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/autonomous-coder/projects.json
- Linux: ~/.config/autonomous-coder/projects.json
- POSIX path format for cross-platform compatibility
- File locking for concurrent access safety (fcntl/msvcrt)
- Atomic writes via temp file + rename to prevent corruption
- Fixed Windows file locking issue with tempfile.mkstemp()
### Filesystem Browser API (`server/routers/filesystem.py`)
- REST endpoints for browsing directories server-side
- Cross-platform support with blocked system paths:
- Windows: C:\Windows, Program Files, ProgramData, etc.
- macOS: /System, /Library, /private, etc.
- Linux: /etc, /var, /usr, /bin, etc.
- Universal blocked paths: .ssh, .aws, .gnupg, .docker, etc.
- Hidden file detection (Unix dot-prefix + Windows attributes)
- UNC path blocking for security
- Windows drive enumeration via ctypes
- Directory creation with validation
- Added `has_children` field to DirectoryEntry schema
### UI Folder Browser (`ui/src/components/FolderBrowser.tsx`)
- React component for selecting project directories
- Breadcrumb navigation with clickable segments
- Windows drive selector
- New folder creation inline
- Fixed text visibility with explicit color values
## Updated Components
### Server Routers
- `projects.py`: Uses registry instead of fixed generations/ directory
- `agent.py`: Uses registry for project path lookups
- `features.py`: Uses registry for database path resolution
- `spec_creation.py`: Uses registry for WebSocket project resolution
### Process Manager (`server/services/process_manager.py`)
- Fixed sandbox issue: subprocess now uses project_dir as cwd
- This allows the Claude SDK sandbox to access external project directories
### Schemas (`server/schemas.py`)
- Added `has_children` to DirectoryEntry
- Added `in_progress` to ProjectStats
- Added path field to ProjectSummary and ProjectDetail
### UI Components
- `NewProjectModal.tsx`: Multi-step wizard with folder selection
- Added clarifying text about subfolder creation
- Fixed text color visibility issues
### API Client (`ui/src/lib/api.ts`)
- Added filesystem API functions (listDirectory, createDirectory)
- Fixed Windows path splitting for directory creation
### Documentation
- Updated CLAUDE.md with registry system details
- Updated command examples for absolute paths
## Security Improvements
- Blocked `.` and `..` in directory names to prevent traversal
- Added path blocking check in project creation
- UNC path blocking throughout filesystem API
