How binoc builds a changeset
Two snapshot trees grow from the roots (bottom) upward; faint lines are correspondence links between matching items. The engine runs rounds of rules until nothing changes, then writes & compacts the edits that explain each link.
Phases
expandUnpack a container (directory, archive) into child items — one tree level.
parseRead a leaf's bytes into a typed artifact (CSV → table) that later rules can use.
linkA pair rule proposes that a left item corresponds to a right item (by name, content…).
writeAn edit-list writer emits the edits that turn the left item into the right item.
compactA compaction rule simplifies an edit list when the result is cheaper.
