In git terms (this is an analogy that is a bit wrong, but useful here), doing `jj new` after making some changes is the same as doing `git commit -am ""` then.

Would you expect `git status` to "show you the changes, full stop" then?.

Where the hostility is coming from, ugh

Why is it so hard for people to even consider for a minute that they might be wrong or confused - nooo, this tool that was in development for years by at least one full-time google employee with a decade of mercurial dev experience and a ton of contributors, and that is loved by a lot of people already for it's simplicity and functionality - definitely failed in such a basic task, it's not you misunderstanding some basics in how it works, definitely, "full stop".

Another thing is that you might have set a `snapshot.auto-track="none()"` config and never told us, which is an opt-in way to disable autotracking, and which `jj st` does not support fully (if at all in released version) yet - then you totally "opted in" being lied to, sorry.
