Instant recursive directory and file diff tool

Visual GUI tool for recursive directory and file comparison. Side-by-side and unified diff views with synchronized scrolling, inline character-level highlighting, Meld-style Bezier gutter connectors and tabbed interface. Binary files are detected and reported with sizes rather than rendered as garbled text. Detects when JSON or JSONL files differ only in element ordering, and applies hunk-slider postprocessing so an inserted object in a JSON array is marked as one whole object. An instant, keyboard-driven alternative to Meld and diff for comparing folders and code.
