Binary description: Compare the current workspace with the current Line head without modifying repository or workspace authority. With no output option, emit the existing unified text diff. Use --json for the stable machine-readable projection, --stat for per-file text statistics, or --name-only for the ordered changed-path list. Positional PATH values select exact workspace-relative files or directory subtrees using lexical matching, not globs.
