1//! Incremental diffing with result caching.
2//!
3//! This module provides caching and incremental computation for SBOM diffs,
4//! dramatically improving performance when comparing related SBOMs (e.g.,
5//! successive builds where only a few components change).
6//!
7//! # How It Works
8//!
9//! 1. **Content Hashing**: Each SBOM section (components, dependencies, licenses,
10//!    vulnerabilities) has a separate content hash.
11//! 2. **Change Detection**: Before recomputing, we check if each section changed.
12//! 3. **Partial Recomputation**: Only sections that changed are recomputed.
13//! 4. **Result Caching**: Full results are cached for exact SBOM pair matches.
14//!
15//! # Performance Gains
16//!
17//! - Exact cache hit: O(1) lookup
18//! - Partial change: Only recompute changed sections (typically 10-50% of work)
19//! - Cold start: Same as regular diff
