# Technology Stack: Manual Slop

## Core Language
- **Python 3.11+**

## GUI Frameworks
- **Dear PyGui:** For immediate/retained mode GUI rendering and node mapping.
- **ImGui Bundle (`imgui-bundle`):** To provide advanced multi-viewport and dockable panel capabilities on top of Dear ImGui.

## AI Integration SDKs
- **google-genai:** For Google Gemini API interaction and explicit context caching.
- **anthropic:** For Anthropic Claude API interaction, supporting ephemeral prompt caching.

## Configuration & Tooling
- **tomli-w:** For writing TOML configuration files.
- **psutil:** For system and process monitoring (CPU/Memory telemetry).
- **uv:** An extremely fast Python package and project manager.

## Architectural Patterns
- **Event-Driven Metrics:** Uses a custom `EventEmitter` to decouple API lifecycle events from UI rendering, improving performance and responsiveness.
