Change Detection / Diff

Diffing two read targets uses a three-level algorithm:

1. Manifest diff: skip sub-tables whose (table_version, table_branch) is unchanged.
2. Lineage check:
   • Same branch lineage → fast path: use the per-row _row_last_updated_at_version column to classify Insert/Update/Delete.
   • Different lineages → ID-based streaming comparison.
3. Row-level diff: streaming, no full materialization.

Public API

• diff_between(from: ReadTarget, to: ReadTarget, filter: Option<ChangeFilter>) -> ChangeSet
• diff_commits(from_commit_id, to_commit_id, filter) — cross-branch safe.
