The idea of writing automatically by setting some flags and then recovering with git is not new: I agree with that; and it's not just Claude - others are doing it too.

What's different is putting it as the default user flow: automatic updates (no flags) - in combination with instant restore, not as a configuration flag to set and then a set of commands to recover.

That shift sounds subtle, but it changes how fast you iterate, especially when refactoring or exploring ideas.
