"""Backward-compat wrapper around `aperion-shield --diff`.

The behavior-diff explainer is now native Rust as of v0.6.0
(2026-05-18). This script remains in the tree so that CI workflows
or developer aliases originally wired against the Python prototype
keep working unchanged -- it just `exec`'s `aperion-shield --diff`
with the same arguments.

The `--format json` output schema is source-compatible with the
prototype, so callers consuming that JSON do not need to be updated.

Two prototype-only flags are silently dropped because they have no
equivalent in the native mode:

  --shield-bin PATH   -- the native mode IS the binary; if you need
                         to pick a non-PATH binary, invoke it
                         directly: `/path/to/aperion-shield --diff ...`

No other behaviour change. See `aperion-shield --diff --help` for
the full flag set, and `docs/shieldset-as-code.md` Layer 4 for the
PR-review pattern this enables.
