What /rewind Can Restore, and What It Can't
After a risky experiment goes wrong, you open the rewind menu (Esc Esc or /rewind).
Which of these can it restore you to?
Solution
The correct answer is "A checkpoint of the conversation, the code, or both."
Every prompt creates a checkpoint, and files are snapshotted before edits, so the rewind menu lets you restore the conversation, the code, or both together. It isn't conversation-only (code is also snapshotted) or code-only (the conversation is too), and it isn't a full git-repo restore either — checkpoints only cover Claude's own file edits, not untracked files in general or Bash side effects.
