What's Wrong?
When Claude asks permission to use the Write tool (not Edit), you get a diff to see what changed. However when in auto-accept mode, the changes are written directly and there's no way to see the diff afterwards.
What Should Happen?
It should be possible to review what changed as a result of Claude using the Write tool.

Steps to Reproduce
