// Difference describes one changed value or subtree between two successful loads.
// Left is the earlier value and Right is the later value. Snapshots are copies;
// Present distinguishes absence from explicit null. Redacted reports hiding
// based on sensitivity from either load. Mappings compare by key; a changed
// sequence is reported as a whole value. Records are ordered by canonical JSON
// pointer. HiddenChanged reports an actual hidden change, without identifying
// the hidden member. Redaction alone does not set it.

// Diff compares the saved final values of two successful loads of the same
// configuration type, independently of later changes to Result.Config.
// It does not reread sources, environment variables,
// or rerun defaults or resolvers. Equal values produce no records even when
// their sources, defaults, or resolution histories differ. Credential contents
// are not compared: typed secret references compare by reference name only.
//
// Both results must be non-nil successful loads with inspection state; nil or
// zero results return an error and no records. Load errors are returned by
// Load, so callers must handle those before calling Diff. Snapshots are safe
// for presentation but are not a complete reloadable configuration.
