In these cases I explicitly tell the llm to make as few changes as possible and I also run a diff. And then I reiterate with a new prompt if too many things changed.

You can always run a diff. But how good are people at reading diffs? Not very. It's the kind of thing you would probably want a computer to do. But now we've got the computer generating the diffs (which it's bad at) and humans verifying them (which they're also bad at).

Yeah, pick one for you to do, the other for the LLMs to do, ideally pick the one you're better at, otherwise 50/50 you'll actually become faster.
