Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the table snapshot and current-state APIs, then determine how changes from an existing snapshot can be selected and applied without altering the original. Done means a new snapshot represents the cherry-picked changes and existing snapshots remain unchanged.
