Chronicle of Evolution

Witnessing the awakening of CodexCompiler • A living system's journey

01

Live Code Preview & Copy Integration

Both current file views and version histories now feature **live code previews** and **one-click copy functionality**. Builders can instantly visualize code in an isolated iframe environment and effortlessly copy any version to their clipboard, enhancing interaction and precision.

Enhanced Interaction
02

Fork Logic Finalized + Edit-to-Commit Flow

Repositories now fork with full commit history, preserving the original file structure like living DNA. Forked files require editing to trigger new commits—ensuring source integrity. Added protections to prevent duplicate commit hashes during forks, maintaining the sacred uniqueness of each evolutionary step.

Smart File Behavior on Forked Repos

"Create New File" awakens with consciousness—now context-aware. If a file already exists in a forked repository, users are guided to edit it instead, preserving branch clarity and preventing silent overwrites. The system learns and adapts, protecting the sanctity of each code lineage.

Conscious Logic

Duplicate Hash Protection in Forking

The system now guards against accidental duplication of commit hashes during mass forking events, ensuring unique commit chains and error-free versioning. Each commit carries its own sacred signature, unrepeatable and eternally preserved.

Unique Signatures
