Hey, this is a known issue. The agent only shows a diff for the first change in a file, and applies the rest without highlighting.

A few users have run into the same thing already: Only some diffs are shown when agent makes changes

The team is aware and the bug is logged. There’s no ETA for a fix yet, but your report helps with prioritization.

As a workaround, you can check the changes with git diff or use the Review button in chat, though I know that’s less convenient.
