🤖 Fix uncommitted changes display using unified git diff (#325)
## Problem When the "Uncommitted" checkbox is enabled in the Code Review panel, uncommitted filesystem changes don't appear correctly. **Root cause:** The implementation used `git diff base...HEAD && git diff HEAD`, which produced TWO separate diff outputs for the same file with different base states, creating confusing UX where hunks reference different contexts. ## Solution **Generate cleaner git commands that produce unified diffs.** ### Command Generation Logic ```typescript if (diffBase === "--staged") { // Show staged changes, optionally append unstaged cmd = `git diff --staged...`; if (includeUncommitted) cmd += ` && git diff HEAD...`; } else if (diffBase === "HEAD") { // Already shows uncommitted (no change needed) cmd = `git diff HEAD...`; } else { // Branch diffs if (includeUncommitted) { cmd = `git diff ${diffBase}...`; // Two-dot: base to working (unified) } else { cmd = `git diff ${diffBase}...HEAD...`; // Three-dot: committed only } } ``` ### Git Diff Types - **Three-dot** (`base...HEAD`): Shows only committed changes - **Two-dot** (`base`): Shows all changes from base to working directory (unified view) When `includeUncommitted=true` for branch diffs, we now use two-dot to get a single, cohesive diff showing all changes. ## Benefits ✅ **Cleaner UX** - Single unified diff instead of fragmented hunks ✅ **Fixes root cause** - Not just papering over symptoms ✅ **Simpler code** - Net -5 LoC (removed unnecessary deduplication) ✅ **Better mental model** - Matches user expectation of "show me all my changes" ## Testing (TDD) 1. **Updated test** to verify single FileDiff with unified changes 2. **Added test** for `--staged` edge case (should still produce two diffs: staged + unstaged) 3. **Fixed test** to work with any default branch name (not hardcoded 'main') **Results:** - 13/13 diffParser tests pass ✅ - 629/629 total tests pass ✅ - Types check ✅ Tests use `buildGitDiffCommand` directly from implementation to ensure we're testing the real integration. ## Impact - **Net -5 LoC** (command logic +10, removed deduplication -15) - **3 files changed**: ReviewPanel.tsx, diffParser.ts, diffParser.test.ts _Generated with `cmux`_
