# Diff View for edit/write Tools — Design
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Approved, pending implementation plan
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-07-15
|
||||
**Scope:** `src/tool/fs/edit.rs`, `src/tool/fs/write.rs`, `src/view/markdown.rs`, `src/view/chat.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
`edit` currently reports only a byte-delta (`"edited {rel} ({N} byte delta)"`), and `write`
|
||||
reports only a byte count. Neither the model nor the user sees what actually changed —
|
||||
just a number. This makes it hard for the model to self-verify an edit landed correctly,
|
||||
and hard for the user to review a change without opening the file. No diff-computing
|
||||
library exists in the dependency tree today.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- `edit` returns a real unified diff (git-style, 3 lines of context) of the change it just
|
||||
made, in place of the byte-delta note.
|
||||
- `write` returns the same kind of diff when it overwrites a file that already existed
|
||||
with valid UTF-8 content; falls back to the current "wrote N bytes" message for new
|
||||
files or non-UTF-8 (binary) overwrites.
|
||||
- Diffs render in the chat view with real color (green add / red remove / cyan hunk
|
||||
header) instead of being flattened to dim/italic like other tool output.
|
||||
- Large diffs are truncated with a trailing count, matching the existing pattern in
|
||||
`read.rs` (`"... ({N} more lines, total {total})"`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Non-goals
|
||||
|
||||
- No diff view for any tool besides `edit`/`write` (e.g. no retroactive diffing of
|
||||
`bash_tools.rs` shell edits).
|
||||
- No side-by-side diff layout — unified format only, matching how every other tool
|
||||
output already renders as a single text stream.
|
||||
- No persistence of diff history; each diff is only the delta of the single tool call
|
||||
that produced it, not a cumulative session diff.
|
||||
- No changes to non-tool (assistant/user/system) message rendering or coloring.
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependency
|
||||
|
||||
Add `similar = "3"` (line/word diff crate; permissive MIT/Apache-2.0, no heavy
|
||||
transitive deps). Use `TextDiff::from_lines(old, new).unified_diff().context_radius(3)`,
|
||||
which produces standard `@@ -a,b +c,d @@` hunk headers and `-`/`+`/` `-prefixed lines —
|
||||
no custom diff algorithm needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool changes
|
||||
|
||||
### `edit.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
After computing `new_content` and writing it to disk:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Compute `similar::TextDiff::from_lines(&content, &new_content).unified_diff().context_radius(3).to_string()`.
|
||||
2. Split into lines; if `> MAX_DIFF_LINES` (200), keep the first 200 and append
|
||||
`"... ({N} more lines truncated)"`.
|
||||
3. Wrap the (possibly truncated) diff text in a fenced ` ```diff ` block.
|
||||
4. Replace the byte-delta note in the returned message with this block; keep the
|
||||
existing "Graduated checks matched" / LSP note suffixes in their current position
|
||||
(after the diff block).
|
||||
|
||||
### `write.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
Before overwriting:
|
||||
|
||||
1. If `path.exists()` and `fs::read_to_string(&path)` succeeds (valid UTF-8), capture it
|
||||
as `old_content` and note `is_overwrite = true`.
|
||||
2. If the file doesn't exist, or reading it fails (binary/non-UTF-8), `is_overwrite = false`
|
||||
— no error, just skip the diff path silently.
|
||||
3. After writing, if `is_overwrite`, compute and truncate the diff exactly as in `edit.rs`
|
||||
and append the fenced block to the return message (in addition to the existing
|
||||
"wrote N bytes" line, not instead of it — for `write`, unlike `edit`, the byte count is
|
||||
still useful since it can be a full-file rewrite).
|
||||
4. If not `is_overwrite`, return message is unchanged from today.
|
||||
|
||||
The truncation constant (`MAX_DIFF_LINES = 200`) and truncation message format are
|
||||
shared — factor into a small helper in `tool/fs/helpers.rs` used by both tools.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rendering changes
|
||||
|
||||
### `markdown.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
- `render_markdown` gains a `dim: bool` parameter: `render_markdown(text, width, dim)`.
|
||||
- Capture the fence language from `Tag::CodeBlock(CodeBlockKind::Fenced(lang))` (today
|
||||
matched as `CodeBlock(_)`, discarding the language). Track `in_diff_block: bool` when
|
||||
`lang == "diff"`.
|
||||
- Inside a diff block, process text line-by-line instead of as one blob: a line starting
|
||||
with `+` (not `+++`) is styled green, `-` (not `---`) red, `@@` cyan/muted, everything
|
||||
else (context lines, `+++`/`---` file headers) uses the existing code-block teal.
|
||||
- When `dim` is `true`: every span keeps its assigned color as computed above, but
|
||||
non-diff spans (headings, links, plain text, non-diff code blocks, table cells) fall
|
||||
back to `Theme::TEXT_DIM` + `Modifier::ITALIC` instead of their normal palette color —
|
||||
this replicates today's "tool output is always dim" behavior for everything except
|
||||
diff lines.
|
||||
- When `dim` is `false`: behavior is unchanged from today (full color, used for
|
||||
assistant/user/system messages).
|
||||
|
||||
### `chat.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
- `Role::Tool` branch: replace the two manual span-remapping loops (that force every
|
||||
span to `dim_italic`) with a direct call to `render_markdown(&content, content_width, true)`
|
||||
and use the returned spans as-is.
|
||||
- All other roles: call `render_markdown(&content_str, content_width, false)` — same
|
||||
call as today, just with the new explicit `false` argument.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Inline `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` per CLAUDE.md convention:
|
||||
|
||||
- `edit.rs`: a normal single-replace edit produces a diff block with matching
|
||||
`-`/`+` lines; a `replace_all` across 250+ lines truncates at 200 with the correct
|
||||
trailing count.
|
||||
- `write.rs`: writing a brand-new file keeps the old "wrote N bytes" message with no
|
||||
diff block; overwriting an existing UTF-8 file produces a diff block; overwriting
|
||||
a path that reads as invalid UTF-8 (simulate via non-UTF-8 bytes) falls back to the
|
||||
byte-count message without erroring.
|
||||
- `markdown.rs`: a fenced ` ```diff ` block with `+`/`-`/`@@` lines produces spans with
|
||||
the expected fg colors under `dim=true` (diff lines colored) and confirms non-diff
|
||||
text in the same call falls back to `TEXT_DIM` + italic.
