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

Thanks, I'll consider this. It would be easy enough to add flags that will allow this.

Providing diff output allows people to self select their approach to merging the changes.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm going to add this soon.
