Description
Scalatest seems to color every line red which results in many white part of the diff output to be printed red instead.
More investigation into how scalatest is coloring its test output is needed.
Workaround for now: Use intellij to run your tests if possible, or switch to munit

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with Scalatest under sbt and compare the colored output with the expected diff formatting. Investigate how Scalatest colors test output and identify why white diff sections are printed red. Done means the cause is understood and the output no longer colors those sections incorrectly, with the result verified in the affected test workflow.
