Problem Statement

Description: When the agent invokes the Edit or Write tool, the permission prompt on mobile shows the file path and an “output” section, but the output section stays at “running…” until I approve, and there’s no way to expand/view the actual proposed diff before deciding. Steps to reproduce: 1. Use Claude Code on the mobile app 2. Have the agent propose an Edit to an existing file 3. Tap into the pending tool call to review Expected: I should be able to see exactly what old_string → new_string change is being proposed before approving.

Actual: The preview area stays “running…” with no way to see the proposed change. I have to either approve blind or rely on the agent’s chat-message description of the diff.

Impact: This forces approve-blind behavior on mobile and undermines the value of the permission prompt (which exists so I can verify before changes land). The agent’s chat-message description and the actual tool call may not always match exactly, so the prompt should be the source of truth, not the chat.

Environment: Claude Code mobile app, [iOS / Android — fill in], app version [check Settings].

Proposed Solution

Render the proposed old_string and new_string (or a unified diff between them) inside the permission prompt on mobile, the same way the desktop/web UI does.
