That looks good, when you get the automated toolchain in place and potentially tune your model choices (if you're not using it already, gemini is the way to go) you should be off to the races.

Thanks. I've started digging into Aider's features I've been ignoring so far, we'll see how this goes.

And yes, I've been using gemini for the past month or two - ever since gemini-2.5-pro came out and topped the Aider benchmark. It's good, but it sure does comment excessively, including in places like quoted scripts, where those comments are a syntax error...

I've tried the current top combo from Aider's benchmarks last night - that is, o3 (high) architect + GPT-4.1 editor. It's refreshingly concise, generates much smaller diffs, but man does it burn through money - a factor 16x relative to gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06. Not sure if it's worth it.
