Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Diff colors and formatting, including green, red, and strikethrough, are not explained in the diff modal in the release track dashboard and may be difficult to interpret, particularly for colorblind users.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a legend to the diff modal that explains each change indicator. Use colorblind-friendly indicators in addition to color, such as icons, labels, borders, or patterns.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Users can infer the meaning of colors from context, but this is inconsistent and inaccessible.
Additional context
The legend and visual indicators should be consistently available across all diff tabs and object types.
