Ricochet is an open-source, local-first AI coding agent for VS Code-compatible editors, CLI/TUI, and Ether Live Mode. Ether lets you start and control coding sessions from Discord, Telegram, and other messengers. Unlike editor-only assistants, Ricochet keeps a reviewable task timeline with approvals, checkpoints, pending diffs, MCP/skills, and routing across BYOK or Grik-hosted models. Swarm workers handle recurring checks and remote follow-ups while you keep repo control.
Adding a visual diff overlay directly in the Ether chat thread would be huge, so I could review pending changes without bouncing back to the editor mid-conversation.
@kapkac87259 Hello! Thank you! Agree.
Ricochet now supports pending change review directly in the Ether chat flow. Instead of forcing users back into the editor for every review, the chat can show a visual diff review surface with files, additions/deletions, hunks, conflict states, large/truncated states, binary/no-preview states, and editor-required fallbacks.
From that overlay, users can accept or reject a whole file, accept or reject individual hunks, open the change in the editor when needed, or accept/reject all pending changes. The editor review flow still exists, but it is no longer the only path. The goal is to keep the approval and review loop inside the conversation when that is where the user already is.
How does the approval and checkpoint timeline actually hold up when you have multiple swarm workers running checks in parallel — do you review each diff separately or bundle them somehow?
