Three mechanisms:

1. **Claude Code Hooks** — `PreToolUse` intercepts edits, `PostToolUse` cleans up
2. **Neovim RPC** — hook scripts send Lua commands via `nvim --server <socket> --remote-send`
3. **Neovim diff mode** — native side-by-side diff in a dedicated tab

Additional behaviors:

- **Auto-reveal** — the tree expands to highlight the changed file
- **Virtual nodes** — new files/directories appear in the tree before they exist on disk
- **Clean focus** — git status, diagnostics, and modified indicators are temporarily hidden while changes are pending

## Troubleshooting

**Diff doesn't open**

- Run `:ClaudePreviewStatus` — check that `Neovim socket` is found
- Ensure `jq` is in PATH
- Restart Claude Code after installing hooks (hooks are read at startup)

**Hooks not firing**

- Run `:ClaudePreviewInstallHooks` in the project root
- Verify `.claude/settings.local.json` contains the hook entries
- Restart the Claude CLI

**Diff doesn't close after rejecting**

- Press `<leader>dq` or run `:ClaudePreviewCloseDiff` — PostToolUse only fires on accept
