Steps
- Save or deliberately discard dirty editor tabs.
- Use Editor → View changes for a focused comparison with HEAD.
- Run git status, git diff --stat, and git diff in Terminal.
- Inspect git diff --cached separately and run the relevant tests.
Expected result
You know what is modified, staged, and untracked before any commit is created.
Note: Branch badges and change counts are summaries; use the actual diff as the review authority.
