Practice · inspect a proposed change

Check what changed before you accept it.

An AI’s summary is not the diff. Compare its actual edits with the request, look for behavior that changed outside the agreed scope, and verify sensitive boundaries with evidence.

The request

“When a member has no borrow requests, change the empty-state heading to ‘Nothing to review yet.’ Please leave data access as it is.”

The AI reports that it updated the empty-state wording. Inspect the proposed diff before accepting it.

Proposed diff

Two files changed

− removed line · + added line

src/components/EmptyRequests.tsx

  return requests.length === 0 ? (−   <h2>No borrow requests</h2>+   <h2>Nothing to review yet</h2>  ) : <RequestList requests={requests} />

src/data/borrow-requests.ts

  return supabase    .from("borrow_requests")    .select("id, status")−   .eq("user_id", user.id)

This is a fictional review exercise. The code is intentionally incomplete; decide what the removal might affect before proposing any fix.
