//! Pure tree diff: two [`Node`] trees in, an ordered list of [`Patch`] out.
//!
//! This module touches no widget, no `ObjectId`, and no platform API, so it is fully
//! testable without a window — which is the point of separating it from
//! [`apply`](crate::view::apply) (BLUE18 Phase B before Phase C).
//!
//! # The identity rule
//!
//! A diff has to decide, at every level, **which node in the new tree is which node in
//! the old one**. Getting this wrong does not produce a visibly broken tree — it
//! produces a tree where the *contents* are right but the *identities* drifted, so a
//! focused text field loses focus, a scrolled list jumps to the top, and an animation
//! restarts. Those symptoms are what BLUE18 rule #87 is about.
//!
//! The matching order is:
//!
//! 1. **By `key`** — the explicit identity the caller declared. Correct under insertion,
//!    removal, and reordering.
//! 2. **Positionally, within the same widget type** — the fallback for keyless nodes. The
//!    report counts how often this happened ([`DiffReport::positional_matches`]).
//! 3. **`Replace`** — when neither applies, or when the widget type itself changed (a
//!    `label` cannot become a `button`; that is a different control, not an update).
//!
//! Step 2 is a *degradation*, not a failure, and the report says so. A caller that never
//! inserts into the middle of a list is not harmed by it; a caller that does will see the
//! count rise and can add keys.
