Rewinding Is Free. Take the Risk.

You won't let it attempt the aggressive refactor, so you micromanage every step and get a worse result slowly.

Every prompt creates a checkpoint. Double-tap Escape, or run rewind, and restore the conversation, the code, or both, to any earlier point. Checkpoints survive closing the terminal.

That changes the strategy. Not "plan cautiously" but "try it and see."

One honest caveat worth knowing before you rely on it: checkpoints track file edits, not Bash commands. It is a fast undo, not a replacement for git.
