Problem Statement

When working in auto-accept mode (acceptEdits / Shift+Tab), Claude Code applies edits directly to files. This is great for speed, but on large files or multi-file tasks it becomes very hard to track where changes were applied. There is currently no built-in way to review the full set of applied edits after the fact and give a final approval or revert.

GitHub Copilot's agent mode handles this well: edits are applied immediately so the agent keeps working, but the user gets a consolidated review view at the end with per-file / per-hunk Keep or Undo actions.

Proposed Solution

Using git diff / the VS Code Source Control panel after the run. This works but requires a clean working tree before every task, doesn't distinguish Claude's edits from mine, and offers no integration with the session (e.g. "reject this hunk and tell Claude why").

  • Staying in default (manual) mode. This gives per-edit review, but interrupts flow constantly and defeats the purpose of auto-accept on long tasks.

Additional Context

(suppressing diff view for auto-approved edits). This request is the complementary direction — instead of per-edit diff popups during auto mode, a single consolidated review at the end. Both suggest the same underlying need: decoupling when edits apply from when the user reviews them.
