Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, entry point, or Playground example. First clarify whether the desired behavior is to highlight unchanged lines in the diff editor and how this should interact with existing difference highlighting; then inspect the diff editor implementation and tests. Done means the intended same-line highlighting is visible without losing the distinction between changed and unchanged lines.
