latex-diff
Compare two LaTeX files, project directories, or Git revisions and produce human-readable plus machine-readable severity-graded semantic changes. Use when determining what changed between manuscript versions or preparing a revision audit bundle. Not for proofreading one version; use $proofread.

# LaTeX Diff
> Compare two versions of a LaTeX document and report what actually changed —
> text, equations, citations, labels/refs, section titles, macros, environments,
> file add/remove, and moves — each graded by severity. Wraps the `latexdiff-agent`
> CLI (`packages/latex-diff`). Member of the `latex-*` source/build family.
## When to Use
- "What changed between these two versions of the paper?"
- Building an R&R "summary of changes" or a preprint vN→vN+1 changelog
- Focusing a re-review on the changes that matter (semantic-impact only)
- Sanity-checking a co-author's edits before merging
