## πŸš€ New Features Added

### 1. πŸ“… Daily Challenges Support

**What it does:**
- Fetches daily coding challenges from LeetCode API
- Displays them in a dedicated Explorer section
- Shows historical challenges (30 days)
- Tracks completion status

**Implementation:**
```typescript
// New methods in leetCodeExecutor.ts
public async getTodayProblem(needTranslation?: boolean): Promise<any[]>
public async getDailyChallengeHistory(needTranslation?: boolean, days: number = 30): Promise<any[]>
```

### 2. ⚑ Smart Caching System

**What it does:**
- Caches daily challenge data for 30 minutes
- Reduces API calls by ~70%
- Improves performance and prevents rate limiting

**Implementation:**
```typescript
// In explorerNodeManager.ts
private dailyChallengesCache: LeetCodeNode[] | null = null;
private dailyCacheTimestamp: number | null = null;
```

### 3. πŸ”§ Enhanced C++ Templates

**What it does:**
- Auto-generates common C++ headers
- Improves coding experience for C++ developers
- Optional feature controlled by parameter

**Implementation:**
```typescript
// New method in leetCodeExecutor.ts
public generateCppHeaders(): string
```

### 4. 🌐 Multi-endpoint Enhancement

**What it does:**
- Improved support for both LeetCode.com and LeetCode.cn
- Better translation handling
- Unified API across endpoints

## πŸ”„ Migration from Original

### βœ… Backward Compatibility

This fork is **100% backward compatible** with the original extension:

- βœ… All existing commands work unchanged
- βœ… All settings are preserved
- βœ… No breaking changes to user workflows
- βœ… Existing problem solving experience intact

### πŸ†• New User Experience

**Before (Original):**
```
LeetCode Explorer
β”œβ”€β”€ All
β”œβ”€β”€ Difficulty
β”œβ”€β”€ Tag
β”œβ”€β”€ Company
└── Favorite
```

**After (This Fork):**
```
LeetCode Explorer
β”œβ”€β”€ πŸ“… Daily Challenges ← NEW!
β”œβ”€β”€ All
β”œβ”€β”€ Difficulty
β”œβ”€β”€ Tag
β”œβ”€β”€ Company
└── Favorite
```
