TL;DRA third-party review describes 2–4 implementation options. Treat that count as a report about one workflow, not a feature promised to every account. When you have alternatives, compare them against the same acceptance criteria before choosing.

- Third-party hands-on testing describes the preview system like this: a submitted task generates 2–4 implementation previews, and the user picks one before continuing. Feature details and availability in the current build are defined by the official docs and what the product actually does.
- The preview mechanism shifts where the work lives: time spent writing code partially becomes time spent comparing and choosing options — your judgment becomes one link in output quality.
- The more previews, the more style and conventions matter — which connects straight to the official advice to sink durable instructions into AGENTS.md.
Concepts CONCEPTS
Not everything said in a community thread is a fact — each concept carries its nature label. Read the label first.
As described in community hands-ons: one task produces multiple implementation previews for the user to pick from before continuing. How many you get and where the entry point lives in the current build is up to the product itself.
Multiple previews trade part of the cost of writing for the cost of choosing. When comparing takes longer than 'take option one and patch it', previews go net-negative. That's a personal take from the usage experience.
The review order the community gravitates to: look at change structure first (which files moved, how wide the blast radius is), implementation details second. If the structure is wrong, pretty details don't earn a vote.
Previews of the same task are often equivalent in the 'they all run' sense; the differences concentrate in maintainability and style — exactly where AGENTS.md conventions earn their keep.
Step-by-step SOP STEP BY STEP
- 01Write acceptance criteria first
For a settings-form change, require the saved value to survive reload, an invalid value to show a clear error, and keyboard submission to work. Apply the same criteria to every candidate.
- 02Compare the diff scope
List changed files, new dependencies and any database or API changes. Reject unrelated edits before spending time on visual polish.
- 03Run the same behavior checks
Try the successful save, invalid input and reload path on each surviving candidate. Mark untested behavior as unknown rather than assuming all runnable versions are equivalent.
- 04Record the choice and fallback
Write: candidate A passes all three checks; B loses the value on reload; C adds an unnecessary dependency. Keep the chosen revision and the original base so the decision is reviewable.
