# Unified-style diff via longest common subsequence + traceback.
# Input layout:
#   === A ===
#   <lines of file A>
#   === B ===
#   <lines of file B>
#
# Output lines:
#   "  ctx"   line common to both
#   "- old"   line only in A
#   "+ new"   line only in B
# Then "DIFF: <a_only> removed, <b_only> added".
#
# DP table c[i,j] held in SUBSEP 2D array; traceback recurses without a stack.
