GPT Engineer added branch switching, a Hot Projects tab, network error detection, RAG-based context management, and automatic placeholder completion to improve reliability and support larger projects.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://lovable.dev/blog/2025-01-13-branch-switching-hot-projects-and-reliability-improvements:

> To solve this, we've introduced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which identifies and retrieves the relevant code for each request. This enhancement allows you to continue building significantly larger projects without compromising the performance of GPT Engineer.
