-Cannot start new files from scratch or delete existing files, limiting greenfield development use cases
-No support for installing new third-party libraries or testing and self-fixing generated code
-Cannot cascade updates to related files like tests or handle complex dependency management

•Updating multiple existing files when implementing feature requests or refactoring business logic across a codebase
•Modifying specific functions or components referenced by name without needing to specify exact file locations
•Automating GitHub issue resolution through the integrated app for repository maintenance and development workflows

•Large-scale refactoring projects that touch dozens of files across a codebase
•Implementing comprehensive features that require changes across multiple components and layers
•Modernizing legacy codebases with systematic updates and architectural improvements
