Claude Code has an elegant solution to the problem you mention, without trying to cram everything into a single nested pane (which feels wrong to me).

In Claude Code, when you edit a file independent from the agent, it automatically notices and says something like "I see you've made a change. Let me take a look."

I wish Gemini CLI would've taken a similar approach, since it seems to fit better with a CLI and its associated Unix philosophy.

Gemini CLI notices changes when it tries to change something and doesn't find what it expects. Then it tells you it's going to reread, and typically handles it fine.
