What's Wrong?
Claude Code’s undo function in the chat only reverts the conversation; it does not revert any code changes.
What Should Happen?
The Rewind feature should only be available if it clearly reflects what it does. If it rewinds only the conversation, it should explicitly indicate that code changes are not reverted. Otherwise, rewinding should restore both the conversation and the workspace to the selected point so they remain in sync.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
Using the Rewind feature in Claude Code only rewinds the chat history. Any code changes that were generated before the rewind remain in the project, causing the conversation state and the codebase to become out of sync.
