Waiting for the LLM is the best time to do the deeper review of the last output.

I like to fire the model off to do exploratory implementations as I refine the existing work.

This sounds nice, but what I've run into is that the model fails to write changes if the code has changed under it. A better tool, where it takes a snapshot at the start of each non-interactive segment, and then resolves merge conflicts with my manual changes automatically, would make this much easier.

I run the model against its own dev branch and either cherry-pick commits or do merges the old-fashioned way.

I'm using Aider though, which makes this easy: it's just another tab in the terminal.
