## F6 — Diff-view toggle (Feature #17)
## F6 — Diff-view toggle (Feature #17, #19)
**Cmd/Ctrl-Alt-D** (or **Cowriting: Toggle Diff View**) flips a tracked
document into a native `vscode.diff` against a **coauthoring baseline** — the
readonly baseline on the left, your **live, editable** document on the right
(so you keep writing inside the diff; toggling again closes it). The diff
answers "what did *I* change?" in one keystroke instead of git archaeology.
**`Ctrl+Alt+D`** (the same chord on macOS — not `Cmd`; or **Cowriting: Toggle

- **Works on any file (#19):** any document you can edit — a file inside or
outside the workspace folder, or an **untitled** scratch buffer. Only a
non-text-editor focus warns. (Untitled buffers diff in-memory; saving makes
the baseline persist.)
- **Machine-factored baseline (INV-18):** the baseline initializes when a doc
is first tracked and **advances automatically at every machine landing**
(every successful `applyAgentEdit` seam apply — INV-9). So text Claude landed
never shows as a change; everything the diff shows is operator-authored by
is first seen and **advances automatically at every machine landing** (every
successful `applyAgentEdit` seam apply — INV-9). So text Claude landed never
shows as a change; everything the diff shows is operator-authored by
construction — no attribution filtering.
- **Pin on demand:** **Cowriting: Pin Diff Baseline to Now** resets the
baseline to the current buffer for a deliberate "review my next pass" epoch;
the diff tab title names the epoch (`opened` / `Claude landed` / `pinned`).
- **Pure view, repo-free (INV-19):** the baseline snapshot lives in VS Code
workspace storage, **never** the repo — `.threads/`, the cross-rung contract
(INV-14..17), and `SCHEMA_VERSION` are untouched. Storage-unavailable
degrades to in-memory baselines + one warning.
**global** extension storage, keyed by a hash of the document URI, **never**
the repo — `.threads/`, the cross-rung contract (INV-14..17), and
`SCHEMA_VERSION` are untouched. Storage-unavailable degrades to in-memory
baselines + one warning.
- **No LLM in CI:** host E2E (`test/e2e/suite/diffView.test.ts`) drives the same
programmatic seam ingress (propose + accept) the F4 suite uses.
