Description

What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

Expand the diff above / below the diff.

Often it's useful to see the code above or below the diff for context. and the diff has no reasonable usefulness without that.

This is something that requires using another tool outside of codex to understand the code changes.
