I still get the full source code back at the end, I tell it to include code it wrote in the PR.

I also wrote my own tool to extract and format the complete transcript, it gives me back things like this where I can see everything it did including files and scripts it didn't commit. Here's an example: https://gistpreview.github.io/?3a76a868095c989d159c226b7622b...

Oh fascinating - so you're reviewing "your own" code in-PR, rather than reviewing it before PR submission? I can see that working! Feels weird, but I can see it being a reasonable adaptation to these tools - thanks!

What about running services locally for manual testing/poking? Do you open ports on the Anthropic VM to serve the endpoints, or is manual testing not part of your workflow?

    Yeah, I generally use PRs for anything a coding agent writes for me.

    If something is too fiddly to test within the boundaries of a cloud coding agent I switch to my laptop. Claude Code for web has a "claude --teleport" command for this, or I'll sometimes just do a "gh pr checkout X" to get the branch locally.

    Yeah the commits that claude code generate are co-authored by claude@anthropic.com so i just open a PR to see the code. I have automatic per-PR dev environments for manual testing.
