# Manual smoke — F6 diff-view toggle (live)
Pre-req: a real machine (not CI). Step 4 uses a live Claude turn — Claude Code
installed + signed in (the `claude-code` provider rides that login, INV-8). The
rest of F6 needs no credentials and no network.
1. `npm run build`, launch the extension (F5 in VS Code opens the committed
`sandbox/` playground), open `playground.md`.
2. Edit a sentence by hand, then **`Ctrl+Alt+D`** (same chord on macOS — not
`Cmd`; or run **Cowriting: Toggle Diff View**). ✅ A diff opens: the readonly
baseline on the left, your live document on the right; the tab title reads
`playground.md — my changes since opened <time>`. Your hand edit shows as a
change.
3. Keep typing **in the diff's right pane**. ✅ Editing continues in place;
decorations/threads still work. Toggle again. ✅ The diff tab closes and the
normal editor is back.
4. Select a sentence → right-click → **Ask Claude to Edit Selection** → give an
instruction → **✓ Accept Proposal**. Now toggle the diff. ✅ The accepted
text is **not** shown as a change (the baseline advanced past the landing —
INV-18); only your own subsequent edits show.
5. Run **Cowriting: Pin Diff Baseline to Now**. ✅ The diff empties (baseline =
now); the title reads `pinned <time>`. Type → your changes show against the
pin.
6. Reload the window (Developer: Reload Window). ✅ Toggle: the baseline is the
same as before the reload (persisted in **global** extension storage, not the
repo — INV-19; `git status` shows nothing new).
7. **Any file (#19):** open a file from *outside* the `sandbox/` folder, or a
new untitled buffer (`Cmd/Ctrl+N`), edit it, and `Ctrl+Alt+D`. ✅ The diff
opens there too — untitled buffers show `(unsaved)` in the title and diff
in-memory. Toggle with focus on a non-editor (e.g. the terminal) → warning.
