Previously, the Claude CLI detection failed on Windows due to:
1. Shell command incompatibility
- Used 'which claude || where claude 2>/dev/null' which fails on Windows
- 'which' doesn't exist on Windows
- '2>/dev/null' is Unix syntax (Windows uses '2>nul')
- Now uses platform-specific commands: 'where' on Windows, 'which' on Unix
2. Missing Windows fallback paths
- Only checked Unix paths like ~/.local/bin/claude
- Added Windows-specific paths:
* %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin\claude.exe
* %APPDATA%\npm\claude.cmd
* %USERPROFILE%\.npm-global\bin\claude.cmd
3. Credentials file detection
- Only checked for 'credentials.json'
- Claude CLI on Windows uses '.credentials.json' (hidden file)
- Now checks both '.credentials.json' and 'credentials.json'
Additional improvements:
- Handle 'where' command returning multiple paths (takes first match)
- Maintains full backward compatibility with Linux and macOS
- Added error logging for failed JSON parsing in the suggestions generation route to improve debugging capabilities.
- This change ensures that any parsing errors are captured and logged, aiding in the identification of issues with AI response handling.
- Made the generation status variables private and introduced getter functions for both spec and suggestions generation states.
- Updated relevant route handlers to utilize the new getter functions, improving encapsulation and reducing direct access to shared state.
- Enhanced code maintainability by centralizing state management logic.
- Introduced a new common utility module for error handling, providing consistent methods for retrieving error messages and logging errors.
- Updated individual route modules to utilize the shared error handling functions, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability.
- Ensured all routes now log errors in a standardized format, enhancing debugging and monitoring capabilities.
