Browser RegEdit

Phase 1: Backend registry abstraction and storage

Implement Python backend to mimic Windows Registry with key/value structure and types.

  • Support string, DWORD, multi-string, and binary values
  • Store keys/values in structured format
  • Validate operations to avoid inconsistent states

Functional Output: Backend correctly stores registry-like keys and values with type safety and hierarchical structure.


Phase 2: Web interface with dual-panel layout

Create minimal web UI with left tree panel and right key/value list panel.

  • Left panel displays key hierarchy
  • Right panel shows values and metadata
  • Allow navigation through keys

Functional Output: Interactive dual-panel interface reflecting hierarchical structure and key/value details.


Phase 3: Create, edit, and delete keys and values

Implement creation, deletion, and modification of registry keys and values.

  • Add new keys and values
  • Edit string values
  • Delete keys/values safely

Functional Output: Users can perform CRUD operations on keys and values with immediate UI update.


Phase 4: Rename keys and values

Enable renaming of keys and registry values while maintaining hierarchy.

  • Rename selected keys
  • Rename value names in right panel
  • Preserve structure consistency

Functional Output: Renamed keys and values reflect immediately in UI without breaking hierarchy.


Phase 5: Recursive search and filtering

Implement search for string values and optionally recursive within a key.

  • Search by value name or content
  • Highlight search results
  • Support recursive traversal

Functional Output: Users can search for values with matches highlighted, optionally searching nested keys.


Phase 6: Testing, logging, security, and UI polish

Add validation, logging, error handling, and interface improvements.

  • Log all operations
  • Handle invalid or conflicting edits
  • Refine tree/list interactions and responsiveness

Functional Output: Stable, secure, fully tested web-based registry editor with polished, responsive dual-panel interface.
