Expose codediff's inline diff rendering as a reusable Lua API for both standalone use and plugin consumers (e.g. gitsigns.nvim). Low-level API (re-exports, no state): - codediff.diff() — pure diff computation - codediff.render_inline_diff() — render on any buffer - codediff.clear_inline_diff() — clear decorations High-level API (standalone with git integration): - codediff.render_inline() — toggle inline diff per-buffer or globally - codediff.change_base() — change base revision for comparison

Why
I'd like the codediff.nvim experience in regular buffers where there are git diffs.
Also, the gitsigns.nvim community has requested Zed-style inline diff rendering (gitsigns#899). codediff already has the hard parts solved — C diff engine, virtual line rendering with treesitter syntax highlighting, character-level diff coloring — but none of it is accessible as a public API.
What
Add 5 public Lua API functions to
require("codediff"):diff(original_lines, modified_lines, opts){ changes, moves, hit_timeout }render_inline_diff(bufnr, diff_result, original_lines, modified_lines, opts)clear_inline_diff(bufnr)render_inline(show, global)change_base(base, global)"HEAD",":0"), re-renders active buffersNotes
HEAD(git index) (not the:0, which is the gitsigns convention)codediff.setup()— highlights are initialized lazily on first render:CodeDiffsessions
