# Description of Changes
This pull request completes the removal of Thymeleaf template engine
support and documentation from the Stirling-PDF codebase and developer
guides, reflecting the project's full migration to a React-based
frontend. It removes all references to Thymeleaf in code, configuration,
and documentation, and updates guides to focus exclusively on the React
SPA architecture. This streamlines the codebase and clarifies the
development workflow for contributors.
**Codebase cleanup: Thymeleaf removal**
- Removed all commented-out Thymeleaf dependencies and related
configuration beans from `build.gradle` and `AppConfig.java`
(`app/common/build.gradle`,
`app/common/src/main/java/stirling/software/common/configuration/AppConfig.java`)
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-2a1a21726f33b05d16451237c68d6df91a5f4a58419d839715f3f1538a9a14aeL32)

- Fully commented out (as a precursor to future deletion) the
`FileFallbackTemplateResolver` and `InputStreamTemplateResource`
classes, which were only used for Thymeleaf template resolution
(`app/common/src/main/java/stirling/software/common/configuration/FileFallbackTemplateResolver.java`,
`app/common/src/main/java/stirling/software/common/model/InputStreamTemplateResource.java`)

**Documentation updates: React-only focus**
- Removed all instructions and references to migrating or developing
with Thymeleaf templates in `DeveloperGuide.md` and `ADDING_TOOLS.md`,
including detailed Thymeleaf usage examples, migration steps, and
translation key usage in templates

- Updated architecture descriptions in `CLAUDE.md` to reflect that the
frontend is now exclusively a React SPA and that Thymeleaf templates
have been fully replaced
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-6ebdb617a8104a7756d0cf36578ab01103dc9f07e4dc6feb751296b9c402faf7L131-R132)

**Labeler configuration update**
- Removed labeler rules for files related to the old Thymeleaf-based web
controllers and UI directories, as these are now obsolete
(`.github/labeler-config-srvaroa.yml`).
These changes ensure the codebase and documentation are consistent with
the new React-only frontend approach, reducing maintenance overhead and
potential confusion for contributors.

# Description of Changes
# Introduce Recommended VS Code Extensions for Development
## Summary
This PR introduces a curated list of recommended Visual Studio Code
extensions to enhance the development workflow for Python, Java, and
Spring Boot projects. These extensions provide essential features such
as code formatting, linting, debugging, dependency management, and
remote development support.
## Motivation
Setting up a consistent development environment can be challenging,
especially when working in a team. By providing a predefined list of VS
Code extensions, we ensure that all developers have access to the
necessary tools for an efficient and streamlined workflow. This helps
maintain code quality, improves productivity, and reduces configuration
overhead.
## Benefits
- **Improved Code Quality**: Extensions like `black-formatter`,
`flake8`, and `checkstyle` enforce best coding practices.
- **Enhanced Debugging and Development**: Java and Python-specific
extensions provide powerful debugging, IntelliSense, and dependency
management capabilities.
- **Spring Boot Support**: Tools like `vscode-spring-boot-dashboard` and
`vscode-spring-initializr` streamline Spring Boot application
development.
- **Remote Development Capabilities**: Extensions like
`remote-containers` and `remote-extensionpack` enable seamless
development in containerized and remote environments.
- **Consistency Across Team Members**: Ensures a unified development
experience across all contributors, reducing the time spent on setup and
troubleshooting.
## Changes Introduced
- Added a `.vscode/extensions.json` file containing a list of
recommended VS Code extensions.
- The list includes extensions for:
- Python development (formatting, linting, debugging)
- Java development (code formatting, debugging, dependency management,
Gradle)
- Spring Boot development (Spring Boot dashboard, Spring Initializr,
etc.)
- Remote development support (Containers, SSH, WSL)
- Code spell checking and pre-commit hook management
## How to Use
1. Open VS Code.
2. When prompted, install the recommended extensions.
3. Alternatively, open the command palette (`Ctrl + Shift + P` or `Cmd +
Shift + P` on macOS) and run:
```sh
Extensions: Show Recommended Extensions
```
4. Install the required extensions from the list.
## Next Steps
- Developers should install the recommended extensions to take full
advantage of the improvements.
- Optionally, update the list in `.vscode/extensions.json` if new
extensions are required in the future.
