Review the Diff, Not the Summary

An assistant’s summary of its changes is its own description of its own work. The diff is the record.

A two-minute review

git diff --stat          # how big is this, really?
git diff --name-only     # any surprise files?
git diff -- src/ui/      # read the part you asked for

• Size check: does the number of changed files match the request?
• Surprise check: lockfiles, configs, auth, migrations. Did any of those change?
• Keep or revert per file: git restore path/to/file drops changes you didn’t ask for.

If the diff is too big to review, it’s too big to merge. Ask for a smaller one.
