The .mp4 files in this folder (convert_lf.mp4, indent_clean.mp4, etc.) are intentionally included in the Lite version — they are real demonstrations from the full pack, showing its capabilities.

• Ensures:
  • UTF-8 encoding

---

All file modifications are exclusive to the Pro version.

---

Included features

Passive editor configuration

The provided settings.json applies neutral, predictable rules:

• No automatic formatting
• No formatter enforced
• No language-specific automation
• Identical behavior across Windows, macOS, and Linux

These settings are applied locally to the project only.

---

Read-only margin detection

A single VS Code task is available:

Terminal → Run Task → Margin detection (read-only)

This task:

• Analyzes files for whitespace and margin issues
• Reports findings in the terminal
• Never modifies any file

It is intended to help you observe formatting issues,
not to fix them.

---

Keyboard shortcut

• Alt + M → Toggle the minimap

No re-indentation or formatting shortcuts are included in this Lite version.

---

Folder structure

The Lite package contains a minimal public setup:

• .vscode/
  • settings.json — passive editor settings
  • keybindings.json — minimap toggle only
  • tasks.json — read-only margin detection
• example_structure.txt
  • Overview of the full Pro version structure
• docs/images/
  • Palks Studio branding asset

---

About the Pro version

The Pro version includes:

• Margin cleanup (clean.py)
• Line ending normalization (convert.py)
• Read-only analysis and reporting (space.py)
• Automatic backups on save (backup.py)
• Multiple execution modes (global / active file / custom selection)
• Full documentation and real usage examples

The Lite version is intentionally limited
to preserve a clear and honest boundary.
This ensures a transparent and predictable evaluation experience.
