Robustness – Lack of Form State Caching for Generator Workspace

[MayurKharat0390]

Describe the Issue

The "Custom Instructions" panel in the Generator workspace does not persist user inputs.

Problem

If a user takes several minutes writing detailed custom guidelines for their documentation and then accidentally reloads the page, clicks a navigation link, or experiences a micro-disconnection, all their typed configuration text is lost instantly.

Proposed Solution

Save the user's repoUrl and customInstructions in browser sessionStorage or localStorage on input changes, and load them back on component mount.

Proposed Implementation Details

Use React effects to load and store input values:

// On mount:
useEffect(() => {
  const savedInstructions = sessionStorage.getItem('generator_instructions');
  if (savedInstructions) setCustomInstructions(savedInstructions);
}, []);

// On input change:
const handleInstructionsChange = (e) => {
  setCustomInstructions(e.target.value);
  sessionStorage.setItem('generator_instructions', e.target.value);
};
