Review marks belong only to the open comparison and survive filtering, file navigation, lazy loading, tabs, split/unified/orientation changes, and pinned checkout-only transitions. A new or recomputed comparison clears them. Editing a writable After file clears only that file's mark; unchanged refreshes and saves preserve it. Marks do not change document text, undo history, or repository state, and are not persisted after closing the comparison.
**Local review comments** are independent of GitHub and the file-reviewed checkmarks above. Focus either diff text pane and run **`:diff.comment`** to comment at the caret. For a range, make one Visual or Visual Line selection, then type **`:diff.comment`** and press Enter. The palette and configured Visual-mode bindings also work. Multiple independent carets/ranges must be reviewed separately.
**Local review comments** are independent of GitHub and the file-reviewed checkmarks above. Focus either diff text pane and run **`:diff.comment`** to comment on the current line. A characterwise Visual selection (`v`) anchors its exact text, including partial lines and multiline spans; Visual Line (`V`) anchors whole selected lines. Type **`:diff.comment`** and press Enter, or use the palette/a configured binding. Multiple independent carets/ranges must be reviewed separately.
Comments, summaries, and the review overview open in a focused floating editor over the whole diff text workspace, not a source-side split. The source layout, file explorer, and viewports stay unchanged. Normal editing, selections, and undo/redo work in editable review buffers. Escape in Normal mode or `:pane.close` dismisses the window and returns to the diff; drafts remain available for reopening and saving. Insert/Visual/Command Escape first retains its usual modal behavior. Source rows are never replaced with comment text. Magenta **`○`** gutter markers identify current comment ranges; **`●`** identifies the selected comment. Markers preserve addition/deletion signs, appear only on the first wrapped segment, and also work in unified view.

| Command | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| `:diff.comment` | Add a comment on the current side and caret/selected line range |
| `:diff.comment` | Add a comment on the current line or exact selected text range, on the focused side |
| `:diff.review.edit [id]` | Edit an existing comment; defaults to the overview entry under the caret or selected comment |
| `:diff.review.delete [id]` | Delete that draft comment |
| `:diff.review.next` / `:diff.review.previous` | Cycle comments, opening their text and revealing a matching source anchor |

In a review text pane, **`:w` saves the entire review**, not a source file. Choose a destination with `:diff.review.save path` first, or use `:w path`. Saving includes edits in hidden comment/summary buffers. Normal close, quit, restart, comparison replacement, and source-buffer deletion protect unsaved reviews; forced close/quit retains its explicit discard semantics. An externally changed review file is never silently overwritten, including with `:w!`; use a new path or reopen it after preserving your edits.
The versioned JSON is the canonical, agent-readable artifact: repository root, summary, optional verdict, and comments with stable IDs, bodies, and anchors. Each anchor retains its immutable comparison revision, side, relative path (old path for renamed Before files), inclusive one-based line range, and exact whole-file text including the final newline. Working comparisons use content-addressed snapshot IDs; captured text additionally freezes any live unsaved edits. The file is limited to 64 MiB. Prefer saving outside the checkout so the review itself does not become another changed file.
Version 2 JSON is the canonical, agent-readable artifact: repository root, summary, optional verdict, and comments with stable IDs, bodies, and anchors. Each anchor retains its immutable comparison revision, side, relative path (old path for renamed Before files), and exact whole-file text including the final newline. `start` and `end` contain zero-based source `row` and extended-grapheme `column` coordinates; `end` is exclusive. Columns count complete Unicode graphemes, not bytes, code points, UTF-16 units, or screen cells. Overview/window labels display one-based rows and columns. Existing version 1 line-only reviews load as equivalent whole-line spans, preserving IDs, text, verdicts, and snapshot identity; the next explicit save writes version 2. Working comparisons use content-addressed snapshot IDs; captured text additionally freezes live unsaved edits. The file limit remains 64 MiB. Prefer saving outside the checkout so the review itself does not become another changed file.
Reopening requires the same repository root. Comments whose revision, path, or exact file text no longer matches are **stale**: their original anchors remain unchanged and their gutter markers disappear. Unloaded files are shown as **not checked** until visited; refresh the overview to update its statuses. There is no automatic reanchoring, server, authentication, or review-publishing operation.
