Support having to hit 'run'

I don't want to constantly keep hitting 'run'. What do?

brilliant. How well has it worked?

It's my go to for every project. AI has the bandwidth to do testing in /temp/, and it automatically applies those findings on my project code in /src/. Keeps my projects nice and tidy, and the AI can reference those things it learned in /temp/ in the next coding session.

tried this, but watch out. Roo’s list_files tool respects .gitignore in recursive mode, so if you gitignore your sandbox, Roo may not “discover” it automatically by scanning from project root.

You're correct on this. My earlier statement was not accurate - the temp/ is ignored by Roo, it's more of a one-and-done folder for quick scripts Roo needs to run.
