description: "Use when the user wants a structural, syntax-aware diff between two source files or git revisions - a diff that parses each side as code (Rust, TS, Python, Go, …) and ignores reformatting, brace movement, or whitespace noise. Binary is difft; use for syntax-aware diffs, not plain file viewing."
