Not a rival — codehere runs Aider as one of its five agents. Credit up front: Aider already nails edit history. The room is about what survives after the edit.
Aider is honest about history: it writes .aider.chat.history.md and commits as it edits. What you have is a log in the repo and your terminal scrollback.
The same Aider runs land in a persistent local room — watch the reasoning and file edits live, reopen the room days later, see every run under the goal in order.
Aider is one (excellent) agent. Want Claude Code to review what Aider built, or Codex to take the next pass? That hand-off lives in your head and your clipboard.
Five agents take turns on one goal in a shared room — Aider does a pass, you hand the next task to Claude Code or Codex with one click, and each agent reads what the last one did (once the project is initialized).
Git commits are Aider's audit — genuinely good, and better than most tools. What the agent claimed vs what it did is still yours to reconcile from the log.
Every tool step recorded, a hash-chained local audit you can verify from the CLI, and a Final Report machine-checked against the git-recorded changes — the claim-vs-reality reconciliation is done for you.
