Extension not working: Various issues

[PietFourie]

HI
I would like to contribute the following. I run linuxmint 20.4 and vscode (latest) aider 0.68.1, aider-composer 1.8.
I used the recommended aider installation, which is
python -m pip install aider-install
aider-install
This uses "uv" to install aider-install and then when you run aider-install it puts all the files in the following directory "/home/user/.local/share/uv/" with subfolders "python" and "tools".
However it does not install "flask" nor creates a virtual environment. That makes things difficult.
You have to install "flask" manually: Install Flask to the current directory:
python3.12 -m pip install flask --target .

The python path that works for me is
"/home/user/.local/share/uv/tools/aider-chat/bin"

Initially Aider-compose worked with older versions. (maybe 1.6 and older. I did not notice)
The problem I now have had for several days, even previous versions of Aider-composer is that the Output terminal shows
2024-12-26 15:50:22.443 [info] Starting aider-chat service...

When I click on the Aider_compose Icon it only says "aider.composer is starting, please wait." and nothing more. It just stays there.
Any help or ideas?

currently, is there any error or warning in the aider composer's output? this starting page may not be seen at usual.

I just release the 1.8 for architect mode, there maybe some bugs.
