[feature request]: update active diff instantly when rewrite has changed
Currently, ast-grep-vscode will close all opened diff tabs when the rewrite has changed. We can follow the behavior of vscode-search to get a better UX.

It can be done but the behavior is not similar to VSCode. VSCode replacement is computed inside JavaScript while ast-grep replacement is done via spawning new commands.
Supporting this will trigger a lot of processes when changing replacement.
How about updating the active diff content whenever the item is rerendered? (Rerendering refers to re-searching or changes in input/replacement.)
This will prevent the initiation of new processes by calculating active item diffs. Updating the diff content will be lazy, yet intuitive.
