Design with Blocks, Code in Text
summary
A hybrid programming environment is built that forces the Program Design Recipe steps into blocks for data definitions and blocks for purpose/header/examples/templates, while reserving a text editor for final code. The tool auto-generates constructors and selector blocks from a struct, reuses data examples for I/O tests, and creates templates from input structure. Running tests is not yet implemented and many blocks share shape, so planned work adds runtime support, shape/color fixes and automated feedback when a template misses a field.
