## Known Issues
### Minor Issues
1. **Vitest Reporter Deprecation**
- Issue: 'basic' reporter deprecated in Vitest v3
- Impact: Warning message in test output
- Fix: Update test commands to use 'default' reporter with summary:false
- Priority: Low (cosmetic)
2. **Batless Tool Integration**
- Issue: `--list` and `--pattern` flags not supported
- Fallback: Using standard `ls` and `grep` commands
- Impact: None (fallback works correctly)
- Priority: Low (tool-specific)
### No Critical Issues
All core functionality is working as expected. No blocking issues found.
## Recommendations

- Use snippets for consistent code structure
- Add custom snippets as needed
4. **Use Test Explorer**
- Open Test panel (flask icon in sidebar)
- Run individual tests with play button
- Debug tests with debug icon
### For Existing Developers
1. **Update Extensions**
- Check for extension updates regularly
- Keep TypeScript extension current
- Update Vitest explorer for latest features
2. **Customize Keybindings**

- Document snippet usage
## Performance Notes
### Memory Management
- Node memory limit: 4096MB for tests
- Pool-based test execution (max 4 forks)
- Isolated test environment
- Automatic mock cleanup
### Build Performance
