Chat: Add UX/UI to highlight changes to URLs and key variables

Open hawkticehurst opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

There have been many times when breezing through a session with Agent mode that I'll miss the fact that a critical constant / variable or URL is subtly changed without realizing it. The code will still "work", but it will always cause issues later down the road that are really really hard to trace/debug.

It would be great if we had the capability, UI, and UX to call out (and maybe even have folks confirm) when a suggested change includes any updates to stuff like URLs, configurations, environment variables, global constants, etc that should/need to be verified by a human.

As another anecdotal example: A friend did a live stream a few weeks ago where he spent an entire hour trying to debug a CORS issue only to realize the problem was caused by a subtle change to the URL he was trying to fetch that he had missed.
