Diff Review

A review surface for a patch an agent has proposed — accept or reject each hunk, fold long runs of unchanged lines away, and flip between unified and split. Switching views does not redraw the diff: every line is a shared element that flies from the stream into its column and back, so you never lose the line you were reading.

Props

PropTypeDefaultDescription
defaultView"unified" | "split""unified"Starting layout. One interleaved stream, or the old file beside the new one. The toolbar toggle overrides it live.
morphDurationnumber380Hunk fold, verdict change and the first reveal of a line. The flight between views is a spring and ignores this — stiffness and damping own that one.
stiffnessnumber420How hard a line is pulled toward its slot in the other view.
dampingnumber38How fast that flight settles. Low values let a line overshoot its column before landing.
staggernumber14Delay added per line as a hunk first appears. Capped at twelve lines in, so expanding a long fold never leaves the last row waiting in plain sight.
density"comfortable" | "compact""comfortable"Row height and type size throughout.
showLineNumbersbooleantrueOld and new line numbers in the gutter. Split view shows one per side; unified shows the surviving number.
contextLinesnumber3Unchanged lines kept on the side of a run that faces a change. The rest fold behind an expander — except a fold that would hide a single line, which costs a row to save a row.
collapseDecidedbooleantrueFold a hunk's body away once it has a verdict, leaving the header and an Undo. Off keeps every hunk open so you can re-read what you just ruled on.
addColorstring (hex)"#4ade80"Added lines, their gutter sign, and an accepted hunk's edge.
delColorstring (hex)"#f87171"Removed lines, their gutter sign, and a rejected hunk's edge.
accentColorstring (hex)"#a855f7"Active view toggle, fold expanders, focus rings and the reviewed counter once every hunk has been ruled on.

What It Demonstrates

Morph
One shape smoothly turns into another shape, e.g. Dynamic Island.
Shared element transition
An element travels and transforms from one position into another, like a thumbnail expanding into a card.
Layout animation
When an element's size or position changes, it animates to the new spot instead of snapping.
Crossfade
One element fades out as another fades in, in the same spot.
Stagger
Animate several items one after another with a small delay between each, creating a cascade.
Accordion / Collapse
A section smoothly expands and collapses its height to show or hide content.
Spatial consistency
Animating so an element keeps its identity and position across states, so users never lose track of where things went.
