[Feature] Add "Clear Code" Button to Reset the Input Area

[DharshiniPujarolla]

Problem Statement

After pasting and analyzing code, there is no quick way to clear the input
text area. Users have to manually select all and delete, which is unnecessary
friction when switching between multiple code snippets.

Proposed Solution

Add a simple "Clear" button near the code input textarea in frontend/index.html.

Clicking it should:

• Clear the textarea content
• Reset the results section

This is a one-file change in plain HTML/CSS/JS — no build step, no frameworks.

Alternatives Considered

• Pressing Ctrl+A and Delete manually (current workaround — not user-friendly)

Additional Context

File to edit: frontend/index.html

I'd like to work on this as part of GSSoC 2026 🙌

Hey @imDarshanGK! I'd like to work on this 🙋

My plan:

• Open frontend/index.html and locate the code input textarea
• Add a "Clear" button right below or beside it
• Wire it up with a small onclick to reset the textarea value
• Make sure it respects the existing dark/light theme styling

This looks like a clean one-file change. I'll open a PR once it's ready.

Hi @imDarshanGK 👋

I’d like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026.

I reviewed the problem and the implementation should be straightforward since it’s limited to frontend/index.html.

My approach:

• Add a lightweight "Clear Code" button near the textarea
• Clear the input field instantly on click
• Reset the analysis/results section as well
• Keep the styling consistent with the existing dark/light theme UI
• Ensure the change remains minimal and clean without affecting current functionality

I can raise a focused PR with proper testing and screenshots once assigned.

Please assign this issue to me. Thanks!

Hi @imDarshanGK 👋

I checked the current frontend implementation and noticed that a Clear button already appears to exist in the editor toolbar.

Before working on this issue further, I wanted to confirm whether the functionality has already been implemented through another PR or if additional behavior is still expected (such as resetting result panels/output state).

Thanks!

Hi @DharshiniPujarolla,

I'd like to claim this issue under GSSoC 2026.

What I Observed: The application lacks a quick reset mechanism, causing friction for users who have to manually delete their pasted code to analyze a new snippet. The fix requires an update purely in frontend/index.html.

My Approach:
I will add a "Clear" button element in the frontend layout.
I'll use vanilla JavaScript to clear the textarea content and reset the results display area simultaneously on click.
I will cross-check the overall codebase structure and references to keep the implementation minimal and framework-free.

Kindly assign this issue to me! Thank you.
