Review Work from a Reasoning Session

Check the result against the requested outcome before continuing, committing, or merging it.

Read the completion result​

Start with the final response. It should identify what changed, what was verified, and anything that remains unresolved. Treat that response as a guide to the evidence, not as proof by itself.

Inspect tool results​

Review commands, tests, and other tool activity in the transcript. Confirm that the reported command completed successfully and that its scope matches the project you intended to change.

If a verification step did not run, ask the agent to run it or explain why it is unavailable.

Review changed files​

Open Show Changes when the session modified files. Review each file and confirm that:

The session summarizes changed files and provides access to the recorded diff.

  • the change belongs to the request;
  • public behavior and interfaces remain intentional;
  • error handling and sensitive data are treated correctly;
  • tests or other verification cover the changed behavior;
  • no unrelated file was modified.

Use the repository's normal version-control workflow before committing. Deleting a session does not revert its files.

Continue with feedback​

Keep the same session when your feedback depends on the work already completed. Point to the specific file, behavior, or failed check and describe the correction you expect.

Use a checkpoint only after understanding what the restore operation will affect.
