Problem Statement

Add an option to view code diffs side-by-side like most code viewers do (VS Code, Github...)

This has been suggested here, here and here but still relevant and the bot explitly asks to create a new issue in that case.

Refer to https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/57061 which had the most complete description.

Proposed Solution

An "editorDiffStyle" option in settings.json.
