Diffward puts coding-agent collateral at the top of the diff
A VS Code extension for reviewing what an autonomous coding agent changed, including per-hunk attribution and files unrelated to the request.
Field notes
Diffward organizes a completed coding-agent session as a reviewable unit rather than treating each edit as an isolated approval event. Its example separates 12 changed files into 8 requested and 4 collateral files, then exposes a representative hunk for warding or discarding. The page also distinguishes agent, user, and unknown-origin changes and says session history stays local. It names several agent environments, but the homepage does not explain the attribution method or document compatibility beyond those references.
