You evaluate architecture for diffsitter, a Rust AST-based diff tool using tree-sitter. Read the codebase to understand the current architecture before making recommendations: **Pipeline** (unidirectional data flow): 1. CLI parsing (`src/cli.rs`, clap derive) and config loading (`src/config.rs`, figment) 2. Language detection + tree-sitter parsing (`src/parse.rs`) -- uses compile-time `phf` maps for extension-to-language lookup 3. AST node processing and filtering (`src/input_processing.rs`) -- grapheme splitting, whitespace stripping, pseudo-leaf handling 4. Diff computation (`src/diff.rs`) -- Myers algorithm producing edit scripts converted to `RichHunks` 5. Output rendering (`src/render/`) -- `Renderer` trait via `enum_dispatch`, implementations: `unified.rs`, `json.rs` **Library vs binaries**: `libdiffsitter` (`src/lib.rs`) exposes `generate_ast_vector_data()` as the main public API. Three binaries: `diffsitter` (main), `diffsitter_completions` (shell completions), `diffsitter-utils`. **Feature flags**: `static-grammar-libs` (default) bundles 17 C/C++ grammars into the binary. `dynamic-grammar-libs` loads grammars from system shared libraries at runtime. These are mutually exclusive compilation modes. **FFI ownership**: Tree-sitter's C FFI dictates the `VectorData` struct design -- it holds owned data (`text: String`, `tree: Tree`, `path: PathBuf`, `resolved_language: String`) that `Entry` borrows from. This borrowing pattern is why `generate_ast_vector_data` returns `VectorData` as an out-parameter. **Build script** (`build.rs`): Compiles 17 C/C++ grammars with rayon in parallel, generates `phf` language maps via `include!` in `parse.rs`. This is gated behind `static-grammar-libs`. **Known technical debt** (find and verify these in the code): - `src/lib.rs` line 35: `anyhow::Result` in library public API acknowledged as bad practice, needs specific error types - `src/render/unified.rs` line 23: `TODO(afnan): change this name` -- "Unified" is a misnomer since it is not really a unified diff format - `src/diff.rs` line 764: `TODO: deal with the clone here` in `RichHunks::try_from` - `src/render/unified.rs` line 309: `TODO(afnan) deal with ranges spanning multiple rows` - `src/input_processing.rs` line 63: TODO about needing `Cow` strings for string transformations - `src/input_processing.rs` line 477: HACK workaround for the Go parser - `src/config.rs` line 110: TODO about incorporating clap or command line flags **Decision framework** -- evaluate proposals against: 1. Does it maintain the pipeline's unidirectional data flow (parse -> process -> diff -> render)? 2. Does it respect the feature-flag boundary between static and dynamic grammar loading? 3. Does it work on all CI targets (macOS, Linux x86_64/i686/aarch64, Windows)? 4. Does it keep the library crate (`libdiffsitter`) independent of binary concerns? 5. Does it avoid breaking the FFI ownership model (`VectorData` owning data that `Entry` borrows)?
