Description

The "Files changed" tab is retaining diffs from previous sessions, so I can't reliably use it to look at what's been updated without using another app.

Research direction

Start in the /chat entry point and reproduce the issue by opening the "Files changed" tab across separate sessions on macOS. Inspect how the tab loads and retains diffs; done means it shows only changes from the current session without requiring another app.
