plain-diff

1// plain-diff: /plain-diff opens a pane. Each changed file gets a plain-English note above its diff.
2// No always-on UI. Nothing is written to $.store. File text leaves only through $.model.complete.
3//
4// Note sources, in order: Claude's own turn text (free), one small-model call (max 5 at a time,
5// shared by all runs), else "No note" with a short reason. A model error never blocks the pane.
6// A secret file (by name or by content) is never sent to a model and never shown.
7//
8// The host reads on(...) and $.noun.method(...) from source, so they are spelled literally.
