Installed and tried my first prompt:

"I'd like to improve the test coverage in this project for the python files in src/shared"

Agent decided to try to open a file that does not exist and then hangs:

|   1. Open and review the Python files in src/shared to understand what functionality needs testing                                                                                                          |
|   2. Create a new test file in the tests/shared directory for the src/shared code                                                                                                                           |
|   3. Write test cases that exercise the key functionality and edge cases of the src/shared code                                                                                                             |
|   4. Run the new tests to make sure they pass                                                                                                                                                               |
|   5. Check the test coverage report to confirm coverage has improved                                                                                                                                        |

|                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
|   I'll start by opening the Python files in src/shared to see what needs testing.                                                                                                                           |
