I worked for Percy for 4 years. We were “stuck” with imagemagik to do diffing (I’m sure they still might). I was able to build my own differ with Claude/LLM help.

That special enough for you? Or?

I looked at the source. It seems most of the code is not included in the GitHub repo, which itself contains a bit of JS glue. The .tgz uploaded to npm has various prebuilt binaries. Can I take a look at the rust code?

I'm not trying to imply LLMs aren't useful. I just want more info from GP so that I can evaluate their claims.
