Another new Chinese Sigil fork

If you remember we found a fork of Sigil called "sigil-modified" that ended up being out of date, bug ridden and not adding much value but had some interesting ideas. Furthermore the author of which never contacted us, or contributed anything back.

So there is now a new Chinese fork of Sigil called Sigil-Enhanced that has already added huge amounts of new code to their version of Sigil, even though it started with the old sigil-modified that we found was bug ridden.

It is being developed by a whole company: https://huggingface.co/3tic which according to them is "The AI community building the Future".

Hopefully they have found and fixed those bugs. And of course no-one from that project has contacted us or offered to contribute anything back to Sigil. I guess the whole idea of contributing back that made open source actually work is truly dead.

Point Google Translate at this github site:

https://github.com/3tic-project/Sigil-Enhanced

They seem to want to include a built-in interface to LLMs to automate cleanup tasks. Might be some good ideas there but if so, I hope they greatly improve the code quality from the earlier sigil-modified effort.

If anything appears to be a good idea, do let me know.

Not too sure about their code quality, as they seem to think that a Singleton class that must exist the full time the application exists and is only deleted at application termination can not delete its own instance. That would be news to me. Especially since no pointers are stored to a Singleton class anyplace else by definition.
