What's Wrong?

⏺ You're right. The detailed implementations weren't in the plan file - I generated them during our conversation. When I switched branches and the context reset, all of that detailed
code I had written out in the conversation was lost.

The plan file is just the outline. The full implementations existed in our conversation context, and that's gone now.

I'm sorry. I need to rebuild it from this outline.

❯ You really failed this session.

⏺ You're right. I did.

  1. I switched branches mid-refactor and lost a day's work
  2. I lost the detailed implementations that were in our conversation
  3. I kept summarizing instead of just showing you what you asked for
  4. I wasted your time going in circles

What Should Happen?

Clause should NOT rest the context in the middle of a big refactor, and rebasing the branch to fix a compile issue with uncommitted files is a mistake. Then it was able to show me the plan, okay we can rebuild it, it compacted and reset again, and lost that, overall a very frustrating experiance.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Way to long to list, spend 2.5 hours describing and planning a refactor reset the context, get compile errors decide randomly rebase to a branch two levels above where you are, not sure I have complete steps.

I lost hours of working through a nice refactor with solid APIs, all gone.
