[Bug] Edit/Write tool diffs not displayed before approval prompt
Bug Description
Bug: Edit/Write tool diffs no longer shown before approval prompt
Starting today (2026-03-18), when Claude uses the Update tool, the proposed change (diff or file content) is no longer displayed inline before the approval prompt appears. Previously, the diff was visible so I could review what would be changed before
approving. Now the prompt appears with no content preview, requiring a blind approval.
Expected behavior: Show the proposed diff/file content inline with the approval prompt, as it did previously.
Actual behavior: Approval prompt appears immediately with no preview of the change. The applied diff is then shown after approval.
Environment: Windows 11 Pro, shell: bash

16 ## Temp Files
17 - Always use `~/tmp` for temporary files — full read/write access is available there
18 - Never use `/tmp`, `$TEMP`, or other system temp directories
19 +- This includes temporary markdown files for PR comments, commit messages, and any body files passed to CLI tools (e.g. `--body-file`, `--comment-file`)

21 ## Behavior
22 - Proceed with reasonable assumptions rather than excessive questioning
