Love the idea of this, and very excited to see how it pans out. That said: I hate the code review UI. Just dump the changes as `git diff` does and let me review them using all the code review tools I use every day, then provide revision instructions. Building a high-quality TUI for side-by-side diffs should not be the thing you are spending time on, and there already exist great tools for viewing diffs in the terminal.

Thanks for the feedback! I actually had a ‘plandex diff’ command working at one point, but dropped it in favor of the changes TUI. I could definitely bring it back for people who prefer that format.

You could have a mode for people „who know what they are doing“ and just auto approve all the changes plandex makes and let users handle the changes themselves. I would actually prefer that, because I could keep using my IDE to look at diffs and decide what to keep.

Agreed! I for example would prefer to use diffstatic
