When diff.visible_only = true, only files already open in a visible nvim window get a diff preview and permission prompt. Files not visible are auto-approved so they don't interrupt flow. - Add diff.visible_only config (default false, no behavior change) - Add :ClaudePreviewToggleVisibleOnly for runtime toggling - Add hook_context() to batch config + visibility into one RPC call - Preserve "ask" fallback when Neovim is not running

Problem
When Claude edits many files in a session, every edit opens a diff preview and waits for approval — even for files the user isn't looking at. This slows down bulk operations where only a few files need careful review.
