Change the default review diff type from "uncommitted" to "unstaged"
(matching `git diff` semantics) and make it user-configurable via
Settings > Display. A first-run dialog prompts users to choose their
preferred default on their first local review session.
- Add `defaultDiffType` to DiffOptions config (unstaged/uncommitted/staged)
- Add `resolveDefaultDiffType()` helper in shared config
- Register setting in config store with cookie + config.json sync
- Add SegmentedControl in ReviewDisplayTab
- Add DiffTypeSetupDialog with sequenced display (waits for AI setup)
- Wire config into all three entry points (hook, opencode, pi)
- Preserve P4 default ("p4-default") in hook entry point
Closes #287

Seems like a reasonable default (same as with git by default actually). Thanks! |
Gate dialog for P4 users, fix race condition between AI capabilities check and dialog display, and use conditional rendering to prevent stale config state. For provenance purposes, this commit was AI assisted.
Import DefaultDiffType from @plannotator/shared/config instead of duplicating the type locally. Pass the selected diff type back through onComplete so the current review switches immediately when the user picks a different default. For provenance purposes, this commit was AI assisted.
fetchDiffSwitch now updates diffData.rawPatch so clipboard copy and AI session creation use the current patch after switching diff types. For provenance purposes, this commit was AI assisted.
