✨ Features

• 🧠 AI Chat — Context-aware chat with support for cloud (DeepSeek) and local providers (Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio)
• 🤖 Agent Mode — Autonomous coding agent that reads, edits, creates files, runs terminal commands, and uses tools
• 📋 Plan Mode — Analyzes your codebase and creates structured development plans. Preview the plan, then implement it with one click — the plan is saved to .evi/plans/ and automatically switches to Agent mode
• 🔮 FIM Autocomplete — Fast fill-in-the-middle code completions as you type
• ⚡ Quick Edit & Apply — Select code, describe the change, and apply it instantly
• 🖥️ Live Web Preview — Automatically previews HTML generated by the chat in a built-in panel
• 🔧 Highly Configurable — Use cloud providers (DeepSeek) or local models (Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio)
