# Change Log
All notable changes to the "gorev-vscode" extension will be documented in this file.
## [0.16.1] - 2025-10-05
### Added
#### 🚀 Automatic Server Startup
- **Zero-Configuration Experience**: Extension now automatically starts Gorev server on activation
- Checks if server is running on port 5082 before starting
- Spawns server process automatically if not running
- No manual `npx gorev serve` required
- Server lifecycle fully managed by extension
#### 🗄️ Smart Database Management
- **Workspace-Specific Databases**: Automatic database path configuration
- Priority: Workspace folder `.gorev/gorev.db` → User home `~/.gorev/gorev.db`
- Automatic directory creation with proper permissions
- Set via `GOREV_DB_PATH` environment variable
- Fixes SQLite permission errors on Windows
#### 🔧 Complete Server Lifecycle Management
- **Process Management**: Full control over server process
- Port availability checking before server start
- Proper stdio configuration (`stdin` kept open for MCP)
- Server output logged to VS Code Output panel
- Graceful shutdown on extension deactivation
- SIGTERM for graceful stop, SIGKILL fallback after 5 seconds timeout
### Fixed
- **Server Exit Issue**: Fixed server exiting immediately after startup
- Changed stdio from `['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe']` to `['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe']`
