✅ Auto-completion with parsing (Phase 3)
✅ 3 interactive sidebar panels (Phase 4)
✅ Type-safe, compiles without errors
✅ Well-organized, maintainable codebase

The plugin is functionally complete and ready for manual testing and beta program. No additional development is required before release, though comprehensive testing and documentation are essential.

1. Complete manual testing checklist
2. Write user documentation (README.md)
3. Recruit beta testers
4. Address beta feedback
5. Prepare for v1.0.0 release

Estimated Time to Release: 2-3 weeks (testing + documentation + beta)
