Description

OADA should compute the difference between the put body and the existing result. Empty diffs should translate into a no-op, not update rev, nor create a change. This would make writing data sync microservices much easier / correct.

Research direction

Start by locating the PUT request handling and the logic that compares stored resources, updates rev, and creates changes. Trace how an identical put body is processed; done means an empty difference leaves the resource, revision, and change history unchanged, with tests covering that no-op behavior.
