What's Wrong?
When using "Rewind to here" on a previous message in the conversation, file changes made by Claude after that message point are not reverted. The conversation history rewinds correctly, but the actual files on disk remain in their modified state.
What Should Happen?
"Rewind to here" should revert all file changes (edits, writes, deletions) that Claude made after the selected message, restoring the files to the state they were in at that point in the conversation.
