Refactor auth.py to hash passwords in the database and functions
Update main.py to handle password hashing
Update test_auth.py to test hashed password functionality
Run tests to verify the refactoring

Step 5: When Agent suggests a command (e.g., to run code or tests), carefully review it.

Click Accept to execute
Click Reject to skip or modify

Agent will perform the changes, run tests, and show a summary of results and improvements.
You’ll see details of changes made to each file, new tests added, and security enhancements.

Step 6: Review the final summary. Your task is now complete!

You can check the updated code, run your own tests, or start a new Agent request.
Tips:

Always double-check commands before accepting, especially those that modify files.
Use clear prompts for best results.
Review the summary to understand all changes and improvements.
