docs: Add comprehensive development status document

Added STATUS.md documenting:
- Working features (HTTP, HTML parsing, rendering, browser engine)
- Known limitations (UI components not yet implemented)
- Next steps roadmap (scrolling, link navigation, bookmarks, etc.)
- Test results showing successful browsing

The core engine is fully functional - main work remaining is
implementing the interactive UI components.

- Cookie management
- Redirect following
- Timeout handling
- ✅ **HTML Parsing** - Working with gumbo-parser
- Full HTML5 parsing
- DOM tree construction
- Title extraction
- Link extraction with numbering
- ✅ **Content Rendering** - Basic text-based rendering
- Headings (H1-H6) with bold formatting
- Lists (UL/OL) with bullet points
- Links with [N] numbering and blue underline
- Paragraph and block element handling
- Skip script/style/head tags
- ✅ **Browser Engine** - Integrated pipeline
- Fetches URLs via HTTP client
- Parses HTML with renderer
- Resolves relative URLs
- Error handling for failed requests
- ✅ **UI Framework** - FTXUI-based interface
- btop-style four-panel layout
- Address bar input
- Content display area
- Status panels
- Keyboard shortcuts (q to quit, Enter to navigate)
### Build & Deployment
- ✅ Binary size: **827KB** (well under 1MB target!)
- ✅ Clean compilation with no warnings
- ✅ All tests build successfully
- ✅ CI/CD pipeline configured
- ✅ macOS and Linux support
## ⚠️ Known Limitations
### UI Components (Not Yet Implemented)
- ⚠️ **Link Navigation** - Links are extracted and numbered, but not yet clickable in UI
- `setLinks()` and `onLinkClick()` methods declared but not implemented
- Tab/Shift+Tab navigation not working yet
- Number key shortcuts not working yet
- ⚠️ **Bookmark System** - Declared but not implemented
- `setBookmarks()` method exists but no UI implementation
- No persistence layer
- ⚠️ **History** - Declared but not implemented
- `setHistory()` method exists but no UI implementation
- No back/forward navigation in UI (though engine supports it)
- ⚠️ **Scrolling** - Content view not scrollable yet
- j/k, g/G shortcuts not implemented
- Page up/down not working
- ⚠️ **Search** - Not implemented
- / search command not working
- n/N navigation not working
### Feature Gaps
- ⚠️ No form support (input fields, buttons, etc.)
- ⚠️ No image rendering (even ASCII art)
- ⚠️ No CSS parsing (only basic tag-based formatting)
- ⚠️ No JavaScript support (by design)
## 🎯 Next Steps Priority
### Phase 1: Core Interactive Features (High Priority)
1. **Implement Content Scrolling** (src/ui/content_view.cpp)
- Add scroll position tracking
- Implement j/k, g/G, Space, b keyboard shortcuts
- Add scrollbar indicator
2. **Implement Link Navigation** (src/ui/main_window.cpp)
- Implement `setLinks()` to store link list
- Implement `onLinkClick()` callback
- Add Tab/Shift+Tab navigation
- Add number key shortcuts (1-9 to jump to links)
- Highlight selected link
3. **Wire Up Back/Forward** (src/main.cpp)
- Connect back/forward buttons to engine
- Add Backspace shortcut
- Update navigation buttons state
### Phase 2: Enhanced UX (Medium Priority)
4. **Implement Search** (src/ui/content_view.cpp)
- Add / to start search
- Highlight matches
- n/N to navigate results
5. **Add Bookmark System** (new files)
- Implement bookmark storage (JSON file)
- Create bookmark panel UI
- Add Ctrl+D to bookmark
- F2 to view bookmarks
6. **Add History** (new files)
- Implement history storage (JSON file)
- Create history panel UI
- F3 to view history
- Auto-record visited pages
### Phase 3: Advanced Features (Low Priority)
7. **Improve Rendering**
- Better word wrapping
- Table rendering
- Code block formatting
- Better list indentation
8. **Add Form Support**
- Input field rendering
- Button rendering
- Form submission
9. **Add Image Support**
- ASCII art rendering
- Image-to-text conversion
## 📊 Test Results
```bash
./test_browse.sh
Test 1: TLDP HOWTO index - ✅ PASSED
Test 2: example.com - ✅ PASSED
```

## 🚀 Quick Start
```bash
# Build
cmake -B build_ftxui -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/homebrew
cmake --build build_ftxui -j$(nproc)
# Test
./test_browse.sh
# Try it
./build_ftxui/tut https://example.com
```
## 📝 Notes
The core browsing engine is **fully functional** - we can fetch, parse, and render web pages. The main work remaining is implementing the interactive UI components that are already architected but not yet coded.
The codebase is clean, well-structured, and ready for the next phase of development!
