pub fn volatile_meta() -> NormalizerExpand description
The canonical profile: strip the fields that legitimately vary between any two conformant apiservers, so what remains is genuine divergence.
Deliberately does NOT mask spec.finalizers, metadata.finalizers,
metadata.labels, or data — those carry the real conformance signal
(server-side defaulting).
status is collapsed to a presence marker, not dropped (corrected
2026-08-08). Its contents are genuinely time-varying, so they stay out of
the diff; but dropping the subtree outright made the harness unable to see
that engenho returns no status at all — its single largest
divergence. A mask that hides the biggest gap is not a mask, it is a
blindfold. Strict mode still re-surfaces what any mask suppressed as
Cosmetic.
