Context

Implements Review Mode - a new mode that allows users to perform local code reviews using git diffs. Users can review either uncommitted changes or full branch diffs against the base branch.

Implementation

  • Added "review" mode to DEFAULT_MODES with read-only tools (read, browser, mcp, command)
  • Created ReviewService in src/services/review/ to detect available review scopes and generate file summaries
  • Added ReviewScopeSelector dialog in webview for users to choose between "Uncommitted changes" and "Branch diff"
  • Agent dynamically explores changes using git tools rather than receiving pre-generated diff content
  • Added git utilities: detectBaseBranch(), hasUncommittedChanges(), getBranchDiff(), etc.

How to Test

  1. Open a git repository with uncommitted changes or on a feature branch
  2. Switch to "Review" mode from the mode selector
  3. Select either "Uncommitted changes" or "Branch diff" scope
  4. The agent should analyze the changes and provide code review feedback

WARNING

File Line Issue
webview-ui/src/components/chat/ReviewScopeSelector.tsx 47 Uses selectedScope instead of effectiveScope - when user's selection is unavailable, the wrong scope will be sent
src/services/review/ReviewService.ts 26 Untracked files (?) are converted to added (A), losing their distinct status

SUGGESTION

File Line Issue
packages/types/src/vscode-extension-host.ts 259 Comment says "Skills data response" but describes skillsData which is correct - however the adjacent askReviewScope comment pattern is inconsistent
packages/types/src/vscode-extension-host.ts 950 Comment says "Request skills data refresh" but describes refreshSkills which is correct - however the adjacent reviewScopeSelected comment pattern is inconsistent
