From the docs it looks like this feature only reverts the edit tool calls, and not e.g. bash commands that have been executed:

> Checkpoints apply to Claude’s edits and not user edits or bash commands, and we recommend using them in combination with version control



How could they possibly hope to undo bash commands, whose side effects could be anything, anywhere?

Hey Claude... uh... unlaunch those


I mean a naive implementation of this would just make regular git commits to a special hidden repo and revert them (ignoring changes outside project root). I always assumed that’s how cursor did it. Presumably they have good reasons not to do this, probably related to not accidentally reverting user edits.


By tracking changes made by a command, like you might with git.


And how do you propose they track those changes? Do you want to run your LLM through permanent sudo?
