🚀 What's New in v2 (Major Update)

🤖 Agent Mode --- Autonomous Task Execution

Turn Vibe Coding into a real AI coding agent.

🆕 Create new files
🖥 Execute terminal commands
🧠 Reason per step before making changes

Example use cases:

Refactor entire modules

Run migrations or build commands

Just describe the task.
VICO handles the plan → reasoning → execution cycle automatically.
