This is something I really wish was just built-in to Claude Code. I want it built in because I don't want to have to think about it beforehand. I should be able to jump back in conversation history and have the state of the code jump back with me, so it's restored to the same state it originally was at that point in the conversation.

(There does also need to be a way to jump back in the conversation history without reverting the code, there are times that is useful too!)

Actually, the ability to retain the current version when jumping back in conversation history is extremely useful for one reason: trimming context. For example I could work on adding a feature X, which will add some context. Then I rewind and add feature Y, etc. This helps delay compaction.

Yes, as I said there needs to be a way to jump back without rolling back the code as well!

You can. There is a slash command to move back to a prior point in the conversation. On mobile rn, but I know the is command exists as I’ve used it before.
