> fix the authentication bug in login.ts

  I'll read the file first.

  ○ Read src/auth/login.ts
    1  import { verify } from './jwt'
    ... 45 more lines

  Found it — token expiry compares seconds vs milliseconds.

  ● Edit src/auth/login.ts
    File updated

  ● Bash npm test
    24/24 tests passing

  Fixed. Wrapped the Unix timestamp in * 1000.

What Can It Do?

Fix bugs — Describe the issue, Darce reads the code, finds the problem, fixes it, runs your tests.

Build features — "Add a dark mode toggle to the settings page" — Darce creates the files, writes the code, wires everything up.

Refactor — "Convert this class component to a hook" — reads the file, rewrites it, verifies nothing broke.

Explore codebases — "How does authentication work in this project?" — searches files, reads code, explains the architecture.

Run commands — "Install tailwind and set it up" — runs npm, creates config files, updates your code.
